Steve told it how it was when Star Yamaha sucked. They had the last carb'd 250 in the paddock, they had a stream of unsuccesful riders in both classes and they were the bottom ranking Lites team in the paddock, evidenced by the likes of Tickle and Will Hanh who himself left to get titles on other brands. Steve said all that when it was true. The truth now is the bike is the best in the paddock and the envy of every other factory team in the states. Guess what, that's exactly what Steve has been saying.
If this Brad dude has his nose out of joint from 2010 then that's his problem and his perogative, and he just got a fair chunk of bad press because of it. Steve's doing his job.
They were notorious for firing riders after the first year regardless...
They mowed thru Team Managers...
The 'Observations' were pretty accurate...
That's the appeal of Matthes, he says what is well known in the pits, but not known to the rest of us.
He will also compliment people or teams when they pull it together or do well.
That's exactly what Swap does so I guess if Steve wants to ride the Star bike he should follow suit 🤣
The Shop
It would be nice to hear this guy Brad's side of the story too, it might shed some light on this.
Just maybe the guys at Swap Moto have also been asking to test the bike just as long or longer than the Pulp guys...
And it might a just be a miss commutation.
If Donn didn't know about the test, I guarantee you Anton knew and he should have said something about it.
Steve has to be a bit careful here because he is a BlueCru guy and his show gets lots of support from Yamaha. He is smart enough to not shit where he eats, or you would hope so. This is the problem with being beholden to companies like this. You cannot really tell the whole true story for fear of reprisal and them taking their money elsewhere.
It is a slippery slope to navigate for sure. I am not sure if this will affect bike sales in any measurable way, so I say lesson learned and move on. If Yamaha doesn't want to honor their agreement that's on them and now we can all make a more informed decision on whether you want to support them or not.

The Horror!
Googoo dolls wtf!
Actually, just thinking maybe I am a 55 year old, 19 year old. 🤣
The adult themes are usually presented in a way that would in most cases be suitable for children to listen to provided there is an "intelligent, mature & sophisticated" adult around to provide context for the child. The exception to this is Keefer After Dark, before this segment they explicitly say, do not listen to this with your kids.
There are very few words which are inherently offensive (discriminatory slurs are obvious exceptions) usually the offence comes from the way they are used. It is pretty fucked when people try to change they way others express themselves just because they would choose their words differently, IMO.
It's an adult podcast, don't listen to it with your kids.
