CHAPTER 231 Ft. Phil Nicoletti Gypsy Tales & Ben Schiermeyer

With the WSX in town and a couple of the boys deciding to stay and enjoy the Gold Coast post race, it was the perfect time to smash out a couple pods. In this Chapter of the podcast we were lucky enough to be joined by one of the legends of the game, Filthy Phil & long time factory wrench Ben Schiermeyer! These guys are a wealth of knowledge in the sport and it was super fun to sit down for a few hours of BS'n in the wake of the Australian Supercross GP.

Phil is absolutely one of my favorite personalities in the sport. Great show Jase, thanks!

[@adam_allday9470]

Phil’s perspective on the industry is pretty unique. He’s been a privateer, a factory rider, and on a satellite team. He sounds really knowledgable on the back end of things and how a team should be structured to be successful. I grew up an hour away from Phil in NY and remember racing him locally as a kid. Always been a fan of Phil. He’s a realist.

[@JDpower9211]

What area are u from? I lived right next to Phil and my dad is brothers with his dad

[@adam_allday9470]

@@JDpower9211 from Monticello. but that's cool that you lived next to him. Are you related or family friends?

[@TheCapixClan]

So stoked to see Phil!!!!!! 👊🏻👊🏻👍🏻

[@nobody-eh5es]

Any one who saw Phil ride know he was a gift to our sport. Always enjoyed his 450 sx skills and craft the most.., and his wording is awesome and people like straight talking like he does.He has een and felt things that very few have done. He does have a gift to share knowledge and again is so needed in this time. Very much like James his words are insight to the real artist of moto .

[@brianthompson1282]

phil is a real dude down to earth as a rider sitting there with stiches in his elbow.

[@doglover136_]

can we get chad and ellie on the podcast while they are in AUS. Great content as always man

[@TheCapixClan]

Awesome suggestion! 👊🏻

[@jamesliebsch2463]

Filthy Phil for president...love this interview...gypsy tales is awesome 💪

[@right_on_riggins]

I hope this becomes your #1 interview 🏁🤙🏼

[@CaddyJim]

*🛑Supercross & MMA have similar salary problems only a handful of the top athletes are making really good money. The fans tune in for those athletes but they also enjoy the other fights & other racing. Which brings up a constant complaint I have with US Supercross is the camera following the winner off track when they're still racing going on. The winner will have plenty of camera time on the podium let us see the top 5 to 10 finish*

[@thomasstrong6575]

The world needs more Phil's ❤️😁🍻💯

[@mxcreedy4914]

Chad and Ellie would be awesome Jase get em on

[@doglover136_]

great idea, i said that also

[@mxcreedy4914]

@@doglover136_ great minds think alike

[@Wags438]

Been a fan and a listener to the pod cast for a long time but this was legit my favorite one thus far that I listened to the entire thing all the way through start to finish. Great job Jase. Keep it up and thanks for the awesome dialogue Phil!

[@ThePilotwes]

Phil is by far the best dude in the sport. Love seeing him be himself no bs

[@jonlebon7106]

Phil brings the best stories and perspectives of racing

[@moto3463]

Always love Phil what a legend 🤣

[@caddidon]

Phil is by far the most interesting and real racers out there.

[@JDpower9211]

I always wanted to race when I was still a kid but my mother wouldn't let me because she saw how much he got injured but Phil is no doubt a major role model to me and bring family i respect the amount of hard work he put in to make it where he has been and currently is.

[@codyf044]

Coombs has GNCC as well that runs 13 rounds March-October on top of moto

[@loganmilesMX]

Such a cool dude. Again dudes like him are why moto is the shit!

[@garthneill8671]

Awesome episode watching in Northern Ireland. Think we need an episode with Alex Martin next after his retirement!

[@Gpx111]

With wsx just remeber time wasn't built in a day . Can't wait to see what the wsx well be in the coming years

[@Gpx111]

Max anstie be cool guy to get on

[@guitarkid0725]

phil casually throwing up the finger at the end lmao

[@dextercottam459]

Phill and Tommy Searle have been the best guest so far. Get J Mart gypsy

[@MotoMemeMedia]

I hope you don't mind...I'm making a Filthy Phil hype video....I need an interview clip for the intro! Don't Mess with Phil!! Oh, my old channel got deleted by KZbin.....Highway to the DangerZone remaster is up on the new one tho! ✊

[@lawndart188s]

Love filthy’s honesty

[@CaddyJim]

The mandatory onboard cameras are cool my only complaint is the replay value is great but they only need to do one or two for a crash or a whole shot Etc but they were doing too many replays for such short races like even a slow-mo replay of just somebody going through a Rhythm section. so I like to replay value of the onboard cameras & sidetrack cameras but only play one or two angles of a crash or whatever

[@CaddyJim]

When it comes to WSX broadcast I did like their live rider position roster compared to the US. I wish the US would go back to a ticker across the top like MXGP ticker across the bottom

[@oldvet79]

Love you Phil I started watching motocross regularly 2 years ago. The club MX is where I saw you first and love who you are. Please stay in the sport you are a real one.

[@liammacgregor1546]

Phil is an absolute gem ❤️❤️

[@sexatica]

Phil is one awesome guy

[@hamsammich8781]

The thing about the champs and the top guys saw it for what it was, they knew ultimately only the winner gets paid and they pushed and sacrificed and bled to be that guy, can’t fault them, feld and the ama need to make the change

[@CaddyJim]

You could call wsx a pilot World Championship it may only be two rounds but technically it was *6* races

[@itsp]

You've got to get weston pieck on here 🤣

[@rhysshelley9277]

What happens if everyone just starts selling their merch in the paddock. Honestly what are they going to do

[@bmotomo421]

This conversation touched on a lot of interesting moto topics. Both of these guys seemed to genuinely speak their minds. It's cool because we know they both have first hand experience on the whole thing. And because their jobs are different, getting both perspectives was cool, too. Nice work!

[@robertwetmore8799]

Why didn’t I fucking start a car wash !!? 🤬

[@chrisvandersteeg5438]

i think every team should have to race a stock bike instead of a totally factory bike .

[@chazzthaspazz4475]

2:53:32 i got blockrf from vince friese after that incident lol i called him a twat

[@vincenthuijgens6351]

Do you compare yourself with uci mtb racers....got a long way to go boy

[@chase.dillon]

Yo Jace when are you re-stocking merch?

[@CaddyJim]

When it comes to wanting the top Rich athletes balling on TV in front of fans. *Stewart* was probably the closest to do that with his reality show *Bubba's World* buying a mansion Etc.

[@ronaldtravis970]

This Guy is a REAL DEAL Motocrosser 🤘

[@TheBillycrash138]

Yeah Feld thinks if you sell your own merch then they're not going to buy the Feld Supercross shirts

[@rdstud7464]

Good points on WSX global sponsors. The problem for Joey is he pulled over for Eli at Monster Cup. Doubt sponsors like that image. Phil is interesting. Riders contacted to WSX is the start of Vince McMahon in Supercross. Not the way to. Now it would just be a show not a race.

[@pat-dirtybird9116]

Phillip is thé man

[@mikul_]

I just me up with an idea on how to get around the ban for merch. You could use a webshop with the option to use a pickup spot. And then you have a pick-up tent instead 😉 then you could even sell autographed stuff for some extra 😉 if anyone needs help with a webshop, I'm down to help 😉

[@stevestiffler9120]

The main problem with supercross/motocross is the marketing and media. The media is such nut’rider fanboys that they won’t tell the major stories that fans want to hear. If Steve matthes tells Phil’s secret, Phil might delete steve from the group text therefore Steve won’t tell the story. And the media are so happy to gatekeep inside information, they do their best to shut anyone else up and shit all over them. The biggest story of 2015 was Milsaps locker.... and we still don’t know. Lackluster job by media

[@uncoant4750]

Is the takeaway for WSX... next level tracks will draw the top riders then take the show international where "motorbikes" are popular but have no SX or moto scence. Places like Indonesia, Srilanka, Pakistan, India etc all have bulk population and the large capacity Cricket/soccer grounds that would easily draw 100,000 spectors.

[@mtnbikerva1]

Filthy Phil Nicoletti is GREAT

[@shooei5990]

Motocross is definitely a rich kid sport ! My mom couldn’t afford to buy me a bike growing up and that’s literally all I wanted!!!

[@shooei5990]

It wasn’t her fault. Just a single mom providing for 3 kids. She’s amazing! They were just expensive! Bought myself one tho now but still! So expensive
