Kenny comes off like a jealous chick. I would mute the race if he was calling it.

He knows his stuff but his voice is too squeaky for broadcasting. Sounds like Emig was sitting next to him dragging his fingernails across a chalkboard
Alessi or Blair are a much better sound

I liked kennys analysis on ktms shock setup. He does well every time he is in the booth. Good job kenny!!
As soon as he left the booth, was back to Mute, Roczen needs to be in the booth, he is great on air.
Like Kenny. Nice insights. I’d just add him to the booth.
I'm goin' off the rails on a crazy train
Kenny kept it real. Ralph and Jeff tiptoe around criticism because they need a paycheck, and don’t want to piss anyone off. Kenny “could care less” if he pisses people off.

Drink more alky . it drowns out a lot of stuff.

I would love if Paul Malin could take over the duties if even for a week or 2 before he gets busy with the MXGP series.

True. He threw the KTM setup under the bus. NFG.
Hmmm, wonder why that may be? Surprised he didn't comment on how many riders the new Honda has taken out the last 2 years

Couple points here.
Kenny wrapped up his point about suspension setup saying there's a happy medium, which is an acknowledgment his past setup wasn't the best either. (obviously his rebound was too soft = little room for error = over the bars).
Matthes has been BEGGING for some intellectual analysis like you hear on nascar broadcasts. Not the dumbed-down highly limited vocabulary that Jeff and Ralph are forced to use. His argument is the audience is smarter than you think. You won't lose the lowest common denominator currently watching, and you'll gain more listeners that appreciate learning the technicalities of racing. Kenny provided such analysis effortlessly. Even giving the listeners insight to a commonly used term "dead feeling" and then immediately explaining what that means in laymans terms. It was refreshing.
Kenny matter-of-factly stating Marvin is slow in the whoops, has been all season, and has been his whole career. There is no debate. If Marvin doesn't like the commentary then man up, lift some weights, click the forks and blitz the whoops. Do a power clean for me one time Marvin. One time.
