Curious why you spell "MandErin" the way you do? Is there some kind of inside joke? Or is it just misspelling the word Mandarin?

[@chasecrosland7401]

Today was a glorious day as I finally got my hearing back due to advances in cochlear implants. I’ve been watching the Pulp show with subs on ever since it had come to KZbin. So I thought it would be awesome to finally hear what Steve and the guest sounded like. All was going well and a had tears in my eyes listening with joy. That was until the Mandarin segment came on. I have since taken the implants out and will face the world in silence yet again as it’s better than having to listen to that utter bullshit.

[@ronross6]

Prayers up for Buyten.

[@Slozukiryder227]

So glad the time stamp tells me when the Mandarin is coming up. SO I CAN FAST FORWARD!

Steve, 20-30g protein post a hard efforts. That's why all the supplement serving sizes are that amount. Doesn't have to be anything special (can be food), but ARMA makes great products if you want to use them.

[@ronross6]

It Wasent pro weekend..but a district race..but I got 1.5 laps at budds in a moto..half lap..last lap. . sweet.

[@izzi0644]

For chase- each track developes different and changes year to year based on the prep. It is possible for a bike to look good one weekend and horrible the next. Its also possible for the rider to make a bad bike look good and a good bike look bad. I think so far james has been pretty accurate based on the way it looks at the moment.

[@GIT2WORK747]

J coop is right about the grind. Being a person who works all the time I can say that it only takes one day of working 20 hours with no sleep to screw you for the next 2. Do that 2 or 3 times a week and it's hard to recover. Git2work

[@jmac636]

I’m with DB…Deegan is being himself. Young, cocky a little immature but entertaining the masses. Also he keeps you talking about him.

[@Drtbykr1]

In high school a couple of times I ate a whole bunch of mushrooms on Big Macs. I met The Mandarin back then, flashback extraordinaire.

[@daneg]

Regarding Chase "going for it" in the Denny, Daniel segment: I see what Daniel was saying and agree with the logic to say that Chase at Hangtown and TV Moto 2/Highpoint moto 2 were the same thing. He rode on the edge and it bit him the latter motos. My question: isn't that what RC looked like? I would watch RC motos and the bike was all over the place. The MXoN vs. Everts, for example. that honda was a bucking bronco.

[@Michael-qv4et]

Which track do the Martins own?

[@garhead169]

Millville

[@daneg]

I don't like deegan's podium speeches/interviews. mostly, I don't like the praise god stuff tbh. swapping from bad ass to devout christian seems tone deaf to me, but that in itself is like whatever. nobody gives good podium interviews. that's not fair. chase sometimes says stuff. CWebb has been good this year. Jett isn't bad either. Eli and Hunter are fucking terrible. most riders are similar to them. give me juan soto over aaron judge interviews any day of the week. I don't like deion sanders. he's all time talent. but I don't like his mouth. that said, he's SOOOO much better than any quarterback who has ever responded to an interview. my point is just that podium/lockeroom interviews are almost fucking terrible by definition. iunno. long story short, i'd rather see deegan be a dick than the typical say nothing or praise god stuff.

If triumph was smart, they'd give Joey a bonus, 270 kit his 250, and send him out in 450SX. If Joey can top 10 on it, they can use that as bragging rights. Look guys, our rider is on a 250, getting top 10 in 450SX.

[@carguy2256]

Steve bitching about Deegan all the time turned me into a Deegan fan

[@daneg]

the criticisms (about his interviews) are not unfounded. he's gushing with praise about the kid's riding though.

[@Thorracer5]

I feel like I’m the only one saying this, but despite it being a really great ride bymasterpool, the reality is, he is not better than kitchen, it was just a really good track for him. He’s not good in Supercross, we are going to see more 5-10 scores, he’ll probably just move on to club Yamaha or something like that next year. There’s no way he’s joining pro circuit.

[@mikebroadhead8539]

I’m also just not a fan of him. Don’t know what it is. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Gypsy actually has a really good podcast with Combs I suggest everyone go watch it. He's go really in depth about what happened with Glen Helen. It essentially was GH didn't want to be a rd of ama motocross, they wanted it to be the glen helen national and ama motocross was just stopping there.

[@dswabyify___2042]

Steve's point on Glen Helen is that there's no way mx sport could be doing bad business because other track owners sign up so because of that mx sport can't be in the wrong smh. Why do artists continue to sign with record labels with the long history of how the system is set up to screw the artist

I don’t get why Steve is always saying he wants Haiden to just be himself. He’s acting like a cocky brash 18 year old isn’t he? I used to think I was hot shit getting 3rd at a local race when I was a teenager I can only imagine how cocky I would have been if I was crushing it as a pro. Plus he grew up rich and most rich kids from socal think they’re better than everyone and that seems to be how he’s acting I don’t understand why Steve thinks it’s fake.

Sexton is Elite. Jett is just that different dude that next level. Stop beating the drum already. Sexton can not run Jetts pace for a full moto. It's obvious by the crashes. Sexton is not as fast as Jett. Just has bigger nuts to go faster then everyone from third back.

[@jmac636]

Laptimes says he’s just as fast and faster on some tracks. It’s a comfort thing. Every weekend brings different scenarios. I hate these blanket statements. It really shows a persons bias and how inexperienced you are with Motocross.

[@brandonmaguire3868]

@@jmac636 "It's a comfort thing" Translation at Jetts speed he simply can't keep the bike up. No matter his lap times or not. He can not put together a full moto at Jetts pace. Yes because it's uncomfortable when your riding out side a pace you can maintain. Beat Jett shuts everyone up. It will be same this weekend ohh Sexton caught up has the lead. But oh no he's going faster than he comfortable with and drives the front tire into the corner. And Jetts back in the lead and just manages a 4 second lead. Until Sexton straight out runs him. He's not faster.

Damn these guys are so concerned over 18 year old Deegan like he really cares about their opinion as a millionaire. I guess they’d rather hear the copy & paste podium speeches of the last 20 years “yeah no for sure, the bike was dialed in and have just made a couple of clicks between motos…uhh…I’d like to thank…man everybody, Carl my motor guy…Dunlop…uh man just everybody. We are going to build from here and just trust the process” *drinks water out of a emptied energy drink can*
