I like Jace's podcast and listen to all the moto ones for sure.
I saw Josh one way prior to listening, purely based off the impression i got, the JLaw stories and the Matthes stuff. But i kinda get it after listening to the pod. Matthes calling him a stoner when he was really just a 17 or 18 year old kid who hadn't touched a drug in his life, then 10 years later complaining because he wouldnt let him into a Monster party. Kinda makes sense,I woulda told him to pound sand too, and i dig all of the Pulp stuff that gets put out.
Josh knows he had the world at his feet and let it pass him by. Listen to the interview, if you dont see him in a different light afterwards i'll eat my hat.
My impression from just hearing the Matthes side was that Josh was a stoner and thought he was too cool and used his position at Monster to kick Steve out. Then you hear Josh's side of the story and that when he was just a kid whos name was getting run down by a grown man in the industry that was literally his livelihood all for the sake of controversy and a few more listens on a podcast. If im Josh i dont forget it either. Not saying either person is right, just that you can learn a lot by hearing both sides of a story.
I will agree he came off genuine in the podcast, but his view of Matthes is still silly. Steve is the only journalist we have that doesn't just gargle every riders balls so they will talk to him. We need more of that.
Matthes might not gargle riders balls but Josh's point was right about him. He's a grown adult commenting on the lives and decisions of teenagers, and it seems like atleast in Josh's case he wasn't correct in the label he put on him. Which like it or not stuck. I thought Josh's comments on Matthes in the pod were pretty accurate, he could have teed off, but he gave him props in a way. Doesnt mean he needs to let him into a Monster party and bro down with him though haha
Only problem is, Josh is still dealing with the reputation he got when he was a teenager (waranted or not). I'd hate for people to still think im the person now that i was 15 years ago.
I wonder if Justin will continue to make the same mistakes.

I do think he was susceptible to hanging around with clowns... other than that he could be accused of not making the most of his talent, but fuck, that's a long list in moto, and longer in life.
The boys seemed to have a good time riding with Bt round the local spots round here
Josh’s insight is great too, he comes across very mature and is well spoken.. great listen!
fucking sick . .. . just like, you know, like , fucking sick! Like, you know . . . fuck, like SICK!
Like, just do whatever . . . fuck, sick, like . . . like...
I listen to an absurd amount of podcasts. It’s almost embarrassing how many different podcasts I listen to. Anyway, you do a GREAT job. I’ve never felt like you butt in or cut people off. It Almost always just feels like a normal conversation between two friends that we get to listen to. I know what you’re going for, and you do it like a pro.
I wouldn’t change a thing, or worry about the butting in thing. GL8 gets a ton of shit on here for doing that on Whiskey, and when I see those comments, I just don’t get it. It’s the best part. That’s what makes them so good. I love to here your stories as much as the guests. I actually get a little bummed if the podcasts are less than 2 hours haha.
One of my favorites you did which caused me to go down some crazy Aussie Underworld rabbit hole was the episode with that Abo guy.
Keep doing your thing Jase. You’re nailing it man.
