Good show, looking forward to Part 2. What a career. Reed’s a good listen.

Speaking of listen, I like Langston’s input especially with Reed. Competitors, Teammates, GP’s, world travel, off-track engagements, etc. Some great bench racing.

They've known each other for years, raced each other, partied together and share a common interest. People that keep criticizing is what gets me....

Whiskey throttle show is awesome. Just listened to Chad episode part 1 and was not dissapointed. I usually cringe abit when GL interrupts a guest with his own storys but this time it was really intresting hearing GLs side aswell since he raced and partyed with Chad.

Keep it up Ping and GL.

I’ve always loved Reedy the racer, because of his style, drive and grit. But what stands out to me more these days, is the sharpness of his mind, in business, engineering and tuning.
I could see him being the next ‘Roger Decoster’.

His memory is remarkable. He’ll recall races from 15-20 years ago, name the city, describe a specific rhythm section, and the riders who had issues. He does this kind of thing all the time. I can’t remember if this is my first or second cup of coffee.

That was good actually, gl forgets he not the guest at some points on each show. Chad wasn’t letting him hijack his interview 😂😂😂😂

A lotta awesome shows...RC and this have been my favorites so far. Keep up the great work!

I'm assuming the Yamaha management Reed's referring to is McCarty?

We finished part two... and only made it up to the start of TwoTwo Motorsports. Part two will go up next week, part 3 will follow that. His recollection is so sharp, and he isn't afraid to tell stories, so it's taking some time to get through it all. I'm enjoying the hell out of it. stay tuned...

I’ve loved all WTS episodes so far, but this is by far my favorite. Reed is so honest and cool and his stories are just amazing. Thank you Ping, GL and co. for making these

Love what you are doing Ping... you keep things on track. You are well spoken, and know when to let the guest speak. Very good show brother.

Yeah from this interview and others, it’s pretty obvious he believes Keith McCarty is where the issues start at Yamaha.
Reed’s not the only one to infer that as well.

Decoster is the man. Reed is “ the Boss”.

Just listening to it now - was curious why Chad kept referencing his kelpie, Shawn so much...

Then I realised he was saying Mickael Pichon, not my kelpie shawn.

Duh.

Sounded like GL might have the Rona, or just a smokers cough. I noticed McGrath seemed to be intrigued that they came to him....sounds like you need to work that angle

His will be the only one to tops Carey Hart’s.... I love to hear the other pros talk about him too, doing crazy ish they never could do. Tedesco brought up a story about the quad in Dallas in 02 lol

He seemed to start really warming up just prior to the halfway point of the show. Once he and GL started sharing combined stories, it went from interview to three buddies shooting the shit about great old stories. Really looking forward to eps. 2 & 3.

Another great episode, I’m looking forward to the next installments.
It is pretty cool to hear the stories and experiences vs the usual interviews that are nothing more than a chance to pump up some exposure for the guests, and give them yet another chance to pimp their sponsors.
In my opinion the show is perfect, they’re having a BS session and DP has his notes handy to keep things moving. I personally think it would be a mistake to change the format and turn it in to a dry, formal interview.

I agree. His whole story is just remarkable. And he just seems to be so keen on everything. How he remembers everything, his knowledge about the bike and how they work etc. Plus his whole business approach I have always admired. He just sees a broad picture to everything, not just show up and ride. And I think that is why he could be like a Decoster type. I don't know if he would want to do that, but I think he could.
