Jason Anderson UNFILTERED post Jett Lawrence incident and much more...

This past weekends San Diego round of Supercross sparked some of the most controversy the sport has seen in recent memory when Jett Lawrence confronted one of the sports veterans Jason Anderson for a post race helmet grab. Anderson was unhappy with what followed and took to Instagram to speak his mind, opening a hug can of worms in the process. We recorded this podcast Thursday night to set the record straight...

Ando is one of the most genuine dudes that rides. He is 100% himself at all times and that's awesome to see

[@tjroe5190]

Boss move dropping this just as qualifying was over.

[@SkyHighMoto]

I was thinking the same thing😂

[@Tegridy_Rc]

Right on time lol

[@dingoraysabath]

that’s what i was thinking 😂

[@robertrishel3685]

I know, right!!??!? Jace is genius and double plus bravo to ANDO for doing this. It’s big boy stuff.

[@baby-sharkgto4902]

Hell yeah

[@mikem9953]

At 59 years old, I got back into Moto because of Haiden Deegan, so I started listening to your podcasts also, and I just found my 450 guy that I’ll be pulling for. That dude is an awesome human being! I hope he’s got a few years left in him. He is sooo cool! Also, I battle anxiety and major depressive disorder, and damn Dude, there is a LOT of interesting content other then race results and how to set the sag on your bike. I am totally serious, your shows are so refreshing. There is a lot to take in about life. I’m not good with words dude, that’s your job, but I can not emphasize enough how well rounded your content is, and how much it makes me think, wake up, be real, and be positive. Seriously, i am a better person from listening to your show. Thank you. Mike.

[@mikem9953]

And damn man, I hope you personally read this, and it puts a smile on your face. You deserve it.

[@amberdavis5311]

Remember, everyone has something going on. Everyone just puts on a fake face for public. How you feel is probably how 80% of the population feels

[@rob9443]

How can it be that Ando is on probation and Friese not ?!

[@Preso_]

Friese gotta have images of the higher ups at the AMA rooting a stuffed animal or something

[@AAAskeet]

Yes,HOA board level governing

[@mikehatch1967]

Everything has politics I’m it that whole thing should have been ignored. That should have been over at that point but the fans love the drama.

Jett still needs to earn it.

Never a Anderson fan,but now I'm good with him he is as he said 100% real. AMA needs to get off his back

[@JPW328]

These podcasts will go down in history 🙌 your hard work will be set in digital stone 💎 😅

Won't matter. Nobody will be able to read it in 2 moto generations. History already shows a downward spiral now. Going down sir?

[@nickfraser6942]

99.99% of Aussies enjoy and respect Jason Anderson for sure..

[@JPW328]

It’s like you timed this perfectly to listen before the races tonight 😃

[@grassrootsphotographysean4474]

Time stamps would be a game changer for this podcast.

[@Clemsontiger21487]

The more we watch, the more Jase makes. I agree with you. But if we’re forced to watch an hour to wait for the good stuff, yt pays Jase a bit more rather than all of us skipping to a ten minute clip of him talking about Jett lol. Smart decision. Add the timestamps and clip it up for shorts for extra money 😜. I wish their were timestamps though lol

[@674racing]

I'll give you a timestamp. At 29:35 the dude says that the grabbing incident was "great for Instagram, great for the funding keyboard warriors, great for next week's racing". He forgot to mention great for him, he got to spend half an hour talking about that.

[@therealjd1503]

I respect Anderson even more for hoping on the pod and talking about what happened and just where he is at. Go get ‘em Ando🤘🤘

[@mykacarpenter1247]

This was the best interview/chat ever! It was so cool to get to know more about him! Thank you for this!

[@johnrhoades4366]

This is what we needed for decades. Real talk. Thank you for finally doing it! Both you will keep prospering and you both deserve it!

[@logojones96]

great timing, sick chat. love el hombre and still love Jett. Ando is the shit, he nailed it with the take on how the sport needs to change if fit wants to grow. Marni tee is a flex and most people don't even know it lol.

[@JPW328]

Amazing content! The whole game can change with social media and these interviews! I’ve become a bigger fan of most guys in the last year because they’re personalities are finally shining through!

[@EarthSurferUSA]

Read MXA from the 70's and 80's. There is more personality in those pages than we have had in the last 2 moto generations. We said what we thought more back then, not what others expected of us.

[@batipapo]

Every time Ando talks i become a bigger fan. The dude is so genuine with a grind and attitude we all lust. He’s the dude we all want to have a beer with.

[@tobiaskagstrom]

Could anyone else feel that Gypsy kept trying to make a point of "save Jett" by saying "glad this is over dude - it's out of both of your systems, your all good with it" and Jason kept answering time after time like "it was nothing, I'm laughing - BUT at race day Jett better watch out"... Gypsy: "glad you got the physical reaction out so nothing will happen at the track" ....Jason: "at race time it's a THING, if I see Jett ahead....and if he's behind me...dude!" This will keep being a great season! Thnx Gypsy for having JA on! Love your pod!

[@NRG450]

Well why would he want both his mates fighting. You're a shit mate if you antagonise or what you mates to fight each other. It wouldn't help Jett OR Ando

[@xafbxmoto269]

He’s Australian Ofcourse he’s going to try and make Jett seem like an angel.

[@tobiaskagstrom]

@@NRG450 I agree. But I also think this ”fight” helps Jason and may be bad for Jett!? And Gypsy being Australian and maybe cheering for Jett a little more knows that to! 😊However, Jett will keep doing more great stuff in this sport and I’ll hope this season will keep staying close in points top 10 👌🏻

[@NRG450]

@@tobiaskagstrom I sort of agree, except that I think it would hurt ando too, remember when he kept trying to get payback in past years, he just took himself out at the same time. Best thing he can do is beat Jett straight up and not rub it in. Now that would burn ha ha

[@tobiaskagstrom]

@@NRG450 True! That could very likely happen. Let’s just hope for great battles with every rider healthy all year 🙏🏼👊🏻😃

[@Holden2090]

There's too much hate in this world...JL messed up, but honestly it was sad to see Jett get sacrificed on social media, and then booed at the stadium. both guys are passionate and amazing, just wish a veteran like JA would take a minute before weaponizing social media and doing another brother like that. I hope both learn from it.

[@peaceprayer595]

Go Anderson! You've got our support like never before.

[@hunter-ct9ky]

I feel that Anderson is the best interview out of all the riders. Hes just super open and honest.

[@tobytwiss]

Totally fair how he lays it out. I’m glad it’s not some stupid overblown drama. Competitive people under a lot of pressure will go at it sometimes. Is what it is.

[@landonmurray3814]

Great intro. Hyped for this one. Didn't see the part about the camera dying, and just thought yall were giving ando some extra love with the clips of him riding lol

[@playthese9672]

How can you not like Anderson?? What a kick ass personality ! We need more Andersons that’s for sure

Timing is everything and what a time to drop this 2hr show 2hrs before gate drop

[@rexlea7018]

I got to meet Jason when I was marshalling at the Supercross in Australia. It was one of the highlights of my night he let me handle his bike at the gate while he was talking to me. Such a cool dude it’s inevitable Jett is going to go through some stuff with his talent and attitude. As an Aussie Jason is still one of my favourite riders out there. He’s riding really good this year and has a real chance of winning the title.

[@therealjd1503]

Hell yeah, what timing with this pod Jase. Well done sir🤘

[@harryjohnson2]

@GYPSY I don't know how you get some of these interviews but you kill it constantly bro. Always look forward to them.

props for calling out forkner.......shows a very low character by him..........glad i wasn't the only one.

[@zacdinnessen5720]

What was forkners comment btw?

[@tannerwicks7245]

@@zacdinnessen5720"Dude came to the medic rig crying, yes literally crying to me after he broke my collarbone and tore my shoulder in Dallas a few years back. Like man t up and move on. Also as a rider, someone grabs my helmet then we're gonna be jlaw and villo at hangtown, so a little grab on his helmet was respectable in that situation" in a comment on the post JA made about Jett

[@tremill13]

Yea it was not the “gotcha” he thought it was lol which makes it so much funnier that it backfired on him when all he had to do was keep his mouth shut. The fact that he thought everyone was gonna be on his side with that bonehead comment just shows how delusional the guy is 😂

[@pixelfodder]

The disappointing thing I found was all the comments on the IG post from respectable people in the industry putting Jett on blast. Austin Forkners response, among others, was the real childish moment out of that comment section.

[@LiamJD182]

Yeah that Forkner comment was so lame huge L by him

[@Nerff554]

Instagram drama is girl shit. Are you guys seriously actually giving a fuck what happens on social media? Who fucking cares. it’s embarrassing grown ass men participate in any of that. Every new technology was made for women not men. Wtf do you think a selfie was created for. I hate that social media has infiltrated this great sport this much. Bring back the 90s and early 2000s. This new gen is gay af

I got a kick out of the people roasting forkner and the one guy roasting roczen telling him jett let him win lol.

I like how Anderson is not really agreeing but saying “yeah, yeah” when Jase is basically saying its over now so you don’t have to take it out on the track at A2. Nice try brah but Jason did say his bike just got three times wider ;). I feel its not over.

[@TheCoolerBrother]

No way in hell this is over… jace is just trying to play peacekeeper for the podcast but anyone with half a brain knows better

[@gildo101rossi]

Nah I think it’s pretty much over, but the boundaries have been set if that makes sense. It’s like they are both good with each other but on track the level of how they race each other has changed, before they’d keep it more clean & fair but now they both will push that boundary a little more. Not dirty but not as clean as it was

[@Ranger_Dog311]

lmao he can't get anywhere near Jett if he tried ,another 5 more minutes yesterday and he would of been lapped 🤣

Both took a main win!!! I was happy to see Chase win main #1, super stoked to see Ando dominate main #2, but I lost my 💩 when Eli laid the smack down on everyone in main #3!!! 😁 It was so cool to see that giant smile back on his face, and loved that he snuck on the podium thanks to Jett going wild thru the whoops 😂

@@InspectorButters4 I lost it too man lol. Eli was smokin in the main! Like Carmichael said, Jett was playing with fire on that right side of the whoops all night and it finally bit him at the worst time lol. Ando was riding possessed too! Just glad Tomac is getting back into a rhythm. If he gets his starts dialed in it's gonna be fun to watch him dominate!

[@InspectorButters4]

@@justinbradley5294 dude the fact that the field is soo deep this year makes me super excited for all the weeks to come!! I think Eli just needed the confidence boost and to know he's still got it, and hopefully that boost will be HUGE going forward!! Its gonna be basically impossible for anyone to dominate and win all the races this year, but consistency is gonna be the key and if ET3 is dialed in there's nobody more consistent!! Cooper Webb is looking pretty good this year too, I think him and Eli is gonna be a badass team ✌️

[@Train421]

Well needed 😊 Thank you ❤

Impeccable timing! Also, props to the both of you for not slamming Jet...bottom line is that Jet was in the wrong for at least part of the situation but we cannot forget that he is human and we all make mistakes.

[@timburks3806]

Sometimes I wish that they would just let Anderson or whoever answer a question or talk about it instead of saying ( and everybody does it) " my take on it, or my thought on it, or it seems to me" I don't care what you think. I want to hear from Anderson and Jett. Everybody gives their opinion, and I really don't want opinions unless it's Anderson or Jetts. You can't take sides because you won't get an interview with the other rider. That's what is great about the riders own post. They can tell you what happened and how they really feel about it.

[@ChandlerHerefords]

Awesome interview! I cannot say enough how much respect I have for Jason Anderson and his approach to life. He is one of the 100% real deal bad asses out there that doesn't take himself too seriously. Don't get it twisted... He will still send you to the high side and out in the tuff blocks if you get in his zone, but that is just racing. Thanks for the interview. I like this channel.

Iv not watched A2 yet but seen a short of ando sending it to the moon like he did in the sand a few years ago i get that mentality so much! And the way eli rides in beast mode that was the normal back in our days the amount of clutches i went through even on a 450 😂 Its these lads here that keep me thinking we can still do thia at 30! Am only a intermerdiate rider now in England and had my first race back after 13 years away from the sport qnd still got top 15 out of 40 and the love and passion is still there and its the best get away from stress and depression!

[@jaimemetcher388]

Loved the interview. The whole retire while you're at the top thing, I think Rossi is a good example of the attitude Ando is talking about. People were like why's he's still here, how can he deal with finishing 8th race after race when he used to be The Man. And he's like: I'm one of the 10 fastest guys on the planet, I get to ride the coolest bikes on the planet, I'm with this team of top-notch like-minded people, and I'm turning all of this into a machine for making money. And you're telling me I should somehow think all of that's not good enough? It's good enough for the guy who finished 7th and the guy who finished 9th, but because I won those titles I'm not allowed to enjoy 8th? What am I gonna do in retirement that's better than this?

Always been a huge JA fan, but the Instagram post was such a weak move. Weaponizing social media under the guise of 'keeping it real'.

Im an Aussie and what Ando is saying about Jett is spot on. I got mad respect for Ando and how he's speaking about Jett. Nothing insulting at all just telling straight facts. I think in the long run Jett will have grown from this situation which will only make him a more complete rider. Until then he needs to keep his head on straight and focus. Low key i hope Ando takes it home this year.

[@ryohonda]

been an ando fan since he was on ktm 250's. always see him in the pits at Anaheim once a year. dude is so cool and nice. rides everyone hard but isnt intentionally a dirty rider, also when he retires ill be so sad he has the sickest style especially in supercross.

Its that fact that jett left it to other people to clean up his mess instead of doing it himself. And choosing anderson the only guy that would probably punch someone in the face was crazy

[@MoToX61]

I liked this episode, but for future reference maybe when you talk about a comment that someone made on a post you should say what that persons comment said. Like the Austin forkner comment it would’ve been helpful to hear what his comment was before you guys gave your opinion on it because some people aren’t going to know what Austin said. But great episode
