Jase is a down to earth bloke and definitely more likeable than matthes. Speaking as a brit I feel like american consumers have a harder time listening to non north american voices / people. The rest of the world is so used to and exposed to you guys as the main character basically but not the other way around. If Jase was the exact same dude but was from anywhere in the states I don't think he gets the same volume of criticism. That being said gyspy will never be as big as pulp within the moto world but has a higher potential outside of it. They fill different roles and theres a place for both.

Jace.

We know you will read this.  Take it in.  Reads to me like everyone pretty much likes you.  Most of us just cant stand the repetitive "like" - 'right?"-"bro"  talk.  Ease up your personal "parallels" and I think your fan base will broaden considerably.  This is not me talking, this is what the 1st page has given you.  

Thank you for all of your hard work, efforts and love for the sport, it is better with you in it!!!

Can only listen to Gypsy in the cut outs of interviews, 15mins tops.  Maybe I’m just to old but the minute he spends asking a question & ‘bro’ crap & the f bombs are just to much me.  IMO his voice is worse the WChristen.

But hey I suppose he’s making a living out of it🤷‍♂️

Honestly if Whiskey Throttle would get back to doing stuff they are better than both of them.

Burrrrrooo, loyyyke, if Gypsy had someone do the talking for him, he’d benefit greatly.

Both have their place, Jace just talks WAY too much. I do listen to Gypsy but only in small doses

Out of the podcast booth Jase seems like a great, genuine dude.

1.Ping/Whiskey Throttle

I prefer Ping because he seems to cover the span of the person’s life similar to a biography and they come across more authentic. All three rock and the sport is fortunate to have them. 

Ping is hands down the best interviewer....      Like or dislike him, that is undeniable.

Matthes....   Pulp is a pale shadow of the early years.      Then there's the constant "product placement" sponsor crap....

Same. 

But the 'constant product placement' crap is what pays for it all. 

Listen to the start of all Pulp shows, and then drop out depending what i am doing. 

Never listened to Gypsy, the shorts are enough .

Whiskey Throttle needs some serious help. A couple of years ago they were producing some of the best moto content out there. It was hit after hit with their long form career retrospectives where big guests were dropping bombshell stories from the golden age of moto. Now it just seems rushed and uninspired. “And then what happened the next year?” “I got third” “what do you remember from that season?” “Not much, I crashed at hangtown.”

I agree it seems to be struggling compared to earlier years, and it's probably where having a such small sport limits us. Every era only has a few legends, and it feels like WT has hit most of them (and probably all of the ones who are willing to talk). He also had a good chemistry with GL and having both of them brought a little extra energy to the shows.

I've also listened so many times where Ping is just doing everything he can to pull answers out of people and they just can't carry on a conversation. 

Having an idea for a podcast is one thing, but being able to sustain it year after year after year is tough I'm sure, for all of them.

Yeah, Jase get's a little much with the Bro-speak and all...but I'd still rather have that than Matthes' supreme arrogance.

Pulp is like watching cable TV.   Ads and ads and ads.  I rather the Monday evening format where they talk about the weekend’s race that I watched on TV. Makes me a bit of a smarter viewer for the following race.  He just needs to calm down on the product placement stuff.  Seems like it gets worse every year. 
 

I only listen to Gypsy on occasion based on public feedback about an interview (Eli’s interview 1-2 weeks ago, for example)

This is spot on.

I like both in different ways.

I listen to the full pulp shows there is a lot of good insight, I fast forward the ad's and all the talk about how pretty pants and jerseys are.

I listen to the snippets from Gypsy that pop up on Facebook and Youtube, he gets good people and good info from them, however, he cuts them off occasionally to tell his story or compare what they are saying to jujitsu so I can't do a whole show.

Gypsys press conference questions are excellent and his takes on RDL are great too, he has a lot of potential to be great on the racing broadcasts.

God we sound pathetic whinging about someone’s voice…. But I agree 😂

As a fellow Aussie, I find Gypsie to be trying too hard and inauthentic, so I give him a wide berth. 

Lucky all this chat is subjective.

Go approach both of them at a race, see which one has a conversation with you. 

Ok so it's not just my perception of him. Mathes seems to have a genuine disdain for his own fans. Condescending douche. Gypsy i could have a beer with

I get the need for sponsors.  It's just the way he does it.   It's so bad.    DV12 is hilarious when responding about it when on the show.     

I'll watch segments with certain people....but even that is rare.

Gypsy is the male Will Christien. Just way, way too much talking. Plus he is getting a bit old for the bro speak. Time to lose that. 

Ping's work, for example his two part DV interview, is the benchmark of long form interviews. 

Yep, his DV interview was excellent.
