Crazy how much Matthes seems to hate on Eli as JT spitting facts on the pulp show!! Does everything he can to downplay Tomac and sounds like a clown IMO!!
Who's Matthes?
🤣
What did he say ?
I got that vibe too.
The Shop
I used to love Mathes and read/listen to all of his content…not any more.
This is the way
He gets on my nerves with his I’m better than you attitude about politics and other opinions but his show entertains me so I just ignore his bad takes.
What’s he said that’s not true ?
Never heard of her.
It’s 2024, there are better podcasts out there now
I did notice Mathes was very quiet once Gypsy sat down.
Y’all have the strangest definition of “hate”.
It’s 2024 bro, you’re either a hater or a fanboi.
if you say anything negative, automatically a hater
If you say anything remotely positive, you’re a fanboi
Name one
Haven’t listened to the latest Pulp episode yet but I’m guessing Matthes is still sceptical that Eli is as good as he was - he argued this stance a few times this year. Based on recent evidence (since the start of this year) it’s not an unreasonable viewpoint.
In supercross Eli was up and down with some good rides including a couple of battles with Jett, some mediocre ones and some poor ones (by his own standards). Results wise it was his poorest season for a long time. His two outdoor rounds were OK, but mostly behind or battling with guys he would have soundly beaten in the past.
He might still rise to maintain his past levels but considering age and injury it’s also possible (probable?) that he will occasionally show those flashes but not enough to threaten for a title.
Once Weedge and JT got on the broadcast and Steve got his privateer race the whole pulp brand went downhill. JT to his credit will keep it real more than the other 2.
A lot of people seem to lack the mental capacity to understand and acknowledge that there are many shades in between, let alone have a reasoned debate about their own opinion (and recognise that it’s just an opinion).
Steve is an enigma to me. He's buddies with some legit dudes like RV and DV but he also is tone deaf when it comes to his "jokes" and self-deprecating humor about being a factory mechanic.
To me he lacks a lot of perspective on real world stuff. Maybe this take is WAY off, but his particular brand of arrogance is common in the grown man with no kids demographic...there is just a lack of humility there.
He tries too hard to be a contrarian a lot of the time, especially with JT. All that being said, he still has good guests and his stuff is entertaining. Also it's FREE, so it's hard to complain about it. Even though I just did lol
Pit Row
Man Matthes has gone down hill ever since his Deegan/American flag comment. Now listening to this podcast as I type here, Steve and JT are just glazing the absolute piss out of Jett together and just dismissing Tomac. News flash, Tomac was faster than Jett by 3 seconds when you combine both motos... I also think Jett wasn't as hurt as they led on. I don't remember seeing 1 picture of Jett with his hand wrapped up...just sayin.
EDIT: Just found the one video where he's got it wrapped up...🙄Still no other pics that I've found though.
It seems just very recently that Steve and JT are starting to bicker endlessly with Steve being the instigator, amusing himself that JT is beside himself with irritation.
Steves not necessarily saying stuff that he believes, just stuff that will rile up Jason.
I usually look forward to the review pod, but this weeks was a tough listen.
Never heard of the person, I’m on a mx forum, but assume the person is a female. I never understood this insult.
Yeah it was a super deep 4D chess move to fake an injury, miss the better half of a championship he was raging favourite to win, so he could appear at SMX round 1 and “surprise” everyone with how good his recovery was.
Did you see who won the race on Saturday or no?
this,
also, 15 years of producing content is a long time, and im not surprised poeple turn off, pulp is still my go to,
Steve just doubles down on whatever opinion he has. He won’t admit to his take being “off.” If tomac finishes second to Jett this SMX series he will still double down. Watch.
Let’s not forget his terrible take on comparing the 800 to deegs in regards to SX ability. I mean, it’s just bad.
Dude for real, Steve and Lewis were giggling the whole time. Towards the end of the conversation, even JT said “I know you guys are kidding but it makes for great bench racing”.
To echo what Lewis has said multiple times this year; moto fans take stuff way too literally 😂
I listen to almost every show, however I sometimes think the show would be better without Matthes
Did you actually listen to the show? Matthes was basically saying Eli loved the track and it suited him and he was turning it on for SMX and JT was saying his performance this weekend was just a natural progression of getting more races and time back on the bike since the two outdoor rounds he did. Neither is a bad take or hating at all.
Say what you want about Steve what other show has 3-4 riders, sometimes the race winners calling in 48 hours after the race is over?
I’ve become a fan of the Title 24 podcast. Can’t stand Ricky in the booth but he does a pretty good job and is a lot more palatable in a podcast setting. Hard to beat racing insight from two guys who were the best at it.
Someone who used to be relevant....
