I think we can all agree that you should include more JuJitsu talk, that's why we're all here.

wow. with all the ground ML covers bringing us industry news and insider adjacent info on everything moto related - you jackals are going to call him out publicly for grammar? 

if you really had to correct him, imho a discreet pm would have been the mature way to go...

I mean, I don’t mind being called out on my grammar. It’s an area I can always improve in.

As for my voice, sorry, that’s just how I sound. For the record, I can not listen back to anything I’m in because I can’t stand my own voice, but I’m stuck with it.

Do the next pod with autotune 😆

I hate listening to my stuff back, but its part of it, you cant work on things you have no idea you are doing. 

The best content can be marred by poor delivery, or bad spate of the 'but yeah , for sure's '... to the  point where that is all you end up hearing. 

But dont get paranoid, i had to look it up too..... 

Language changes, and so does the use of it over time, i just sat in a meeting where one guy said obviously 10 times in under a minute... we all have something we are unaware of, till we hear it . 

Content is spot on, we are listening through choice, its not like the Broadcast stuff where you have to put up with it just to see the visuals. 

The use of 'obviously' by certain moto media - and by riders - is pretty horrific too.

Same goes for "honestly" and "to be honest".

I really wanted to post this same thing yesterday, but figured I'd get blasted! lol😆 Yes its Moot not Mute!  Reminds me of the time Mookie repeated a couple times in an interview "It was a blessing in the sky". No hate on Mookie though, this was quite a few years ago, and I'm a big fan of the guy. And ditto on the vocal fry. Never thought of that description but its accurate. It's where one speaks from the back of the throat instead of projecting their voice from their chest/diaphram, and its like nails on the chalkboard for me. Comes across as vocal laziness. Vocal coach ML? 🤣 Flame away.............

And while we're at it can someone tell RV its ESPECIALLY not EXSPECIALLY

Yes, I agree with this as well, but didn't want to say anything.  With ML, I think it largely comes down to "say it like you mean it" or like it's important.  Project it to your audience and that doesn't mean to yell.  Some of it might be a level of confidence or lack thereof.  For me, it's not all about an accent.

I like Daniel Blair on Pulp when I catch him there.  On his podcast, he speaks differently; he really PUNCHES every 5th or so word.  When I hear it, I get distracted and it dilutes the message.  I like his insight and hearing his opinion, but the rhythm/cadence is an interesting choice.  He talks normal on Pulp.

Haha essentially, pronounced like foot.. It is slang for vagina but it's only really used for giggles in stories..

"Oi cunt"

"Yeah?"

"Oh yeah.. She show you her moot?"

One of the only things about being an old dorky white dude is I can drop out of the blue the line...

"come on guys, its not a rocket appliance"

And i get young people, in shock, dropping their vape pens, with enrgy drink coming back up, laughing.

He might be speaking that way in an attempt to develop his own "signature" of how his show sounds/flows.  I have a bit of a hyper-sensitivity to the manner in which people speak and my mind always wanders when he does "punch/talk" thing.  THEN I start thinking about how he doesn't sound like that on Pulp, lol!  

It feels like he's talking down to me and that he thinks I'll ONLY understand him if he PUNCHES every 5th word.  Nope.  I understand.  

The thing is now is that I'll look at the title/topics and THEN determine if I wanna click to listen...before it was an automatic click to listen.  

That said, I like his perspectives, opinions insight, etc.

Man that's exactly how I feel! I also feel like it wasn't like that at first and I only noticed it after the big expose of RC and Diffey haha 

It's like he's the authority or when he has an idea about how to 'fix' something it's the best idea we'll hear, so then if he makes a mistake about something or I disagree it frustrates me more than it should haha (That's definitely a me issue though) but like you say it's mostly good content
