This is what happens when top athletes interview other top athletes. They open up. This is much different then what the normal moto media will get out of athletes. When the fans get direct access to the pros through there personal social networks it will always be first choice . Unfortunately not all athletes let people into their lives but it is growing.

[@2p2walk]

Agreed! This is what moto needs as far as access. Bubba should be running the post race press conference's. The guy's asking questions get nothing! Let us see who these guy's are, Feld needs to see the future not stay in cooperate past. Grow the sport, they'd make more for their bottom end.

[@HillBilly1905]

This was the best interview I’ve had the opportunity to listen to in years. Thank you for sharing this with us

[@biggoss99]

Says a lot about you Craig’s that Haiden was willing to drive 4 hours for the podcast. He obviously loves you guys and appreciates what you’ve done for him. Hope you get well soon man!!! We need you back out there

[@adammattis13]

This is the most authentic interview I’ve seen in a line time. Nice work Team Craig. Cool to see that Haiden has figured out how to balance being a savage and also 17.

I don’t understand how people hate this guy, he’s so good for our sport

[@ilikedirtx22]

You can tell Haiden is comfortable here. This is a great interview

[@midlifeadventures3138]

I say this all the time Haiden's Race IQ is off the charts. It's what is going to make him a champion.

[@SauceyDad]

So cool of the kid to drive 4 hrs to do this for CC…that and the cycle story say it all. High character humble and heart.

[@jankie55]

The maturity he has is crazy. When listening to him he sounds like a person in their 40's who has the ability to see past all the junk. Then he laughs and you realize he is just a kid. Mad respect

[@hondaMXracer48]

U just miss his post race interviews

[@lifeisgood3589]

This is the best Haiden Deegan interview I've ever seen. And the questions by Craig and his point of view from how he's watched Haiden grow in incredible. I wasn't too sure how Craigs channel would turn out but once he starts interviewing a riders its like " Light bulb " I love it. I bought a motorhome today and I have tickets to my first pro National next weekend at Redbud. I can't wait and I'm hoping to meet you guys. I will be there early so I'm optimistic !!!!

[@zeekdavis11]

Dude what a treat to have been able to see Haidens first overall. There in the flesh to experience history in the making. So sick

[@lifeisgood3589]

@@zeekdavis11 I also met Brian and got a pic with him on the other side of the Leap. I told him Haiden was gonna win. I also got a pic with Duffy . Yes it was epic

[@Racerman27410]

Just a Champion big brother interviewing a future Champion little brother. Lots of respect seeing Haiden making that circle complete with the kids... That's what family does.

[@datapusher-]

I feel like we got to see more of Haiden in this interview than anything else he has done! Also Christian seems like an authentic guy!

[@aaronhamlin5187]

Haidens literally the most humble rider in the industry iv watched him since 50cc this dude hands down gonna make history like no other rider there has been

[@cssbarry]

The bromance we didn't know we needed, but deserved. Thanks so much for this, 2 stand up guys just open floor interview, 10/10.

[@macy9123]

This interview was so great on so many levels !! So cool that CC and fam. were there for Deegan in his early Star days !! Then so cool to see Haiden repays by appearing on C.C. show, and laying down one of the best moto shows of the year !! Folks embrace, this kid is here to stay, he's way cool, and is a power house !!

[@misteraric]

Man I hope your channel blows up. It’s cool to see Haiden come back and pay respect to you as a mentor and role model. You definitely are a huge part in this kids success with his career. Love it.

[@jackfrostXJB]

haiden is the epitomy of keep on grinding no matter how hard they try and bring you down. you had to bring alot to the table to keep up to your fathers legacy and youve done great so far. let the haters hate, just adds more fuel to the fire. your gonna be a superstar deeg's. cant wait for your arm to get better christian. i miss seein ya out there. this was a great podcast. one legend and one in the making.

[@josephbasile944]

Hell yea CC, this is bad ass. Wish you nothing but success with it! Really cool to see Haiden so relaxed and comfortable, which is a testament to just how much he trust you and obviously respects you and your family. Also it speaks volumes to who you are as a man, husband, father and friend seeing how much effort you put into always having a hand out to the young up and comers and help with their transition not only as an athlete and rider but as a person. I’m sure their are more but just the last few being Carson, Chase, and Haiden they all seem like they have a good head on their shoulders and genuinely good kids. Having children myself you can tell alot about how they interact with your family and children. Thank you for always putting yourself out their to us fans showing the full picture, it’s appreciated more than you know and get back on the gate soon my man, the sport needs you. Blessings to you and the family Christian!

[@CandidwithChristianCraig]

Thank you so much- that means a lot!

[@rickrossi4468]

Jett is a superstar and so is Haiden. Multipal titles in his future both indoors and out.Cant wait to watch Haiden grow and continue to kick somr little kid butt.Throughly enjoy his advancements. Thankyou CC for being an great friend and mentor, Paige also. Y ou are such a role model to Haiden and actually all of us in general.Thankyou!

[@EricBible87]

He's so relaxed. Its like a conversation with an older brother or a good friend. Goes to show how much of an impact CC has had on him. Good interview Christian. Definitely gained a new sub to the channel.

[@ygsd5391]

Watching after his 1-1. 3 points behind points leader!

[@gloriouslyimperfect]

I was one of those people who thought the Deegan kids were spoiled rich kids who got everything handed to them until I started to follow the family on KZbin and hear Brian speak when interviewed at their races (huge NASCAR fan so I came to them through Hallie) - Haiden is doing it the right way, a great kid raised by great parents and well deserved of all his success!

[@nickswaz]

Haiden and Jett are the coolest dudes in sports.

[@andrewadams6081]

By far best podcast interview yet! So cool to see how relaxed Haiden is compared to press conferences. Just shows how comfortable he is around you! Great questions too and great job getting info we haven't had before. Good luck on the future and can't wait to see your comback!

[@tommartin9936]

Perfect first guest!!! Haiden is so comfortable because you 2 have history!!!

[@scotthardey7872]

He is the first pro rider to have his whole life history shown on the internet throughout his career. And so many have negative feelings on him and his Dad, but in reality, he's the real deal. He has proved it time and time agian. Money can't buy talent or skill. You have to want it and show you have the work ethic to prove it and he's done them all with class. Keep up the great work. Hope to see you at Red Bud again this year.

[@Greenough193]

Take a drink every time CC or Deegan say "like"....just got a DUI on my horse

[@chriscurbstompscm]

53:57 Momma Deegan knows what she's talking about, I hope you listen! Good luck, Haiden, we cheer for you every weekend! Thank you, Craig, for the podcast and bringing Haiden on. This is the most relaxed I've seen him in an interview, and it was great. Really hoping to see you back on the bike and racing soon!

[@Aaron25thinfantry]

I was a Deegan fan in the 90s and 2000s, Crusty Demons was sick!! So I obviously followed their YT and I’ve been seeing for years that Haiden is special. Stoked to see this kid win a championship!

[@TGProduction220]

been watching for a VERY long time, and every little achievement he’s gotten since being a pro is like such sweet bliss knowing he’s shutting up every single hater that said he couldn’t do it, it’s like being in an argument knowing full well you’re right and the other person being a brick wall, and you finally get it through to them that what you’re saying is factual 😂

[@TheGoonson]

I was in the spotlight once. A long time ago, back when I was young, handsome, and drug free. Than I got famous and all that went away. I became a drug addict, everything laced with drugs and poison. But that's ok, fame also allowed me to finally have a warm and loving family who just want to make sure that we get as much time together as possible. Money can buy you love. It can even buy you a family. The family you never had.

[@jangle317]

I have watched this whole thing 3 times! Loved brian now, love watching haiden! GOAT in the making!

[@bradhill8390]

Have him back in 5 yrs and see if he got that penthouse!! 😂👍🏼

[@nortonrob_tx]

I bet he'll grow up and realize life away from all the noise like his dad has raised him is the true key to happiness lol. Would be cool though.

[@jamiemiller5464]

Great Great show Christian Craig! Love you and Haiden back together!! You two are awesome!! Had me laughing for sure! One thing I wish people knew about Haiden is how humble and kind he is! Blew my mind the first time I met him at MTF at a race which he won! Don’t wait to long before y’all do this again! Of course thanks to Paige! The brains behind you guys!! 🙌🏻🏁

[@dannygrimm3675]

Christian I like that you had Haiden on your podcast as your very 1st guest. You obviously have a great friendship with Haiden and know him really well. You guys touched on a lot that should open eyes to the haters and understand he really put in the work to be where he is now and is a genuine good kid. Racing is his job now so of course he's gonna give it his best and sometimes that means being aggressive. I enjoyed this podcast a lot. Looking forward to seeing the next podcast

[@mortkb]

Great interview yet again. This is what everyone needs to see in someone like Haiden. I have been rooting for him to be successful, you can see his passion just how he rides. Wants to WIN. But this really showed his personality and he is very dedicated and quite entertaining. Good luck this MX season man!

[@colliecollie6822]

I remember some of the early videos of Haiden practicing at the farm. He has had great rhythm and corner speed for years now. But he was slow through the woops. That was hardly a year ago. Now he gets through the woops close to effortlessly and improves every time. Now, halfway through his first pro season, he is down to dialing in the first 5 seconds of a moto. A Haiden holeshot will land him on the podium most everytime.

[@theinnerrealmz]

I don’t even own or ride a bike, but the deegan family is a huge inspiration. I enjoy watching this family because it gives me guidance of my own family and I’ve been learning what it takes to love you’re kids. It’s not the money, it’s how much time you put aside to be with them. Respect

[@hikotai1925]

You should search up what they did to Brennan Schofield. They aint role models... They are barbie dolls manufactured by Yahama for the best public image possible.

[@theinnerrealmz]

First of all, that kid is a pus. Why would you wanna lay your nuts on another man’s property. Granted the rules, that just goes without being said.

[@thomasfelts2857]

Craig is a stand up man, you can tell Haiden looks up to him also. Can't wait for Craig to get back on the track.

[@billiebridger8755]

This is a true exclusive. Been a fan of Haiden's for a long time, and I've never seen him this loose. Super sick! Great job!

[@roynelson7613]

Dangerboy is one bad man. That brother when he makes mistakes he learns from it and he don't look back. At his age the pressure is crazy but the fans are awesome they pump him up and he goes out there and does what he does best and he is always at podium racer I love this young brother and his family. His dad speaks the truth and he's one of us. Everybody have a great one 💯💪🏼💪🏼♥️🤟🏽🤟🏽😎👊🏽💨💥🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@johnsonguy4779]

Haiden needs to never worry about the haters. I think anyone at any level that has lined up behind a gate understands how hard it is and how much work it takes. His path wasn't made with his Dad's money it was built with good old fashion grit and hard work. SURE it helps when you have good trainers and stuff but it still takes the will and want to go get what he has accomplished and everyone needs to remember in the end Haiden is the only one on the bike.

[@07Leebo]

Deegan is cool MX kid without any doubt, the sports needs new Roczens and he just speaks his mind, great watch & shout out to Craig Family for making it happen!

[@lananavan1885]

I can’t say how much I love this, the Craig family has been a huge blessing for Haiden, you can tell when they are all together that they genuinely care about each other.

Im 55 Haiden, and i want bouncy pecs too...What a great show to kick off the podcast career. I really enjoyed it and watched the full show, which i don't always do.

[@petewright6408]

‘No girls until a couple of championships’ we have the secret ladies and gentlemen - no wonder he’s grinding 😂 Jokes aside… Best interview I’ve watched in ages, I watched the ghost ride in the 90’s and as a deegan fan since I’ve watched haiden grow since 65s. He always had it. I appreciate his honesty about the channel, it must be a drag but I feel better watching now seeing how he’s it’s turned into a motivation for him to keep at it 😂❤️ RUN THE #38 because it’s not iconic - make it so.

Great show . It shows the bond you two have . Going to be tough to top this one .
