Glorious. That's the only way to describe the French and the madness that is the paddock at Le Mans. And the racing lived up to the hype this past week despite the pre race malarkey being rubbish. The gods who walk among us put on a show for the ages in France and Boris, Tug and Freido bring their own unique 'analysis' to what unfolded at one of the world's most famous racetracks. There's also all your favourite regulars spots including Borrie's Poem, The Captain's Letter, Frieda's horoscope...

What's the title about, you ask? We don't understand it either but it was funny when Borrie said it, which you'll hear after you press play. But don't do that before you've worked out a way to give us money. We make it easy through our Patreon Pit Crew or you can send it in the post. If you're having trouble, get in touch and we'll work something out. Now, back to the show. Hard to know what to say about one of the most entertaining weeks - both on and off the track - in recent memory. Was...

The racing in Texas (or North Mexico as our trio like to call it) was next level. So were the grid girls. And after a weekend like that there's only one guest who can live up to the hype and that's the incomparable Mat Mladin. Straight off the toilet and hobbling on a leg held together with sticky tape and chewing gum, the legendary racer joins Boris, Tug and Freido to recap a brilliant weekend in the US where HRC went to die but the legend of BatMav was born. COTA was good. Ep 127 is better....

What do a white tiger, a Vegas casino act and Moto GP racing have in common? Nothing, obviously. But that doesn't stop our three intrepid analysts somehow weaving them together in one of the more bizarre opening narratives to an episode of the greatest motorcycling podcast in the universe. And from there, somehow, it goes downhill. Simmo is back for episode 126 as Freido runs through some horoscopes, Borrie gets in touch with his inner 12-year-old and Tug brings us up to speed with The...

And so it begins. The 2024 season is officially underway and the tone has already been set wth the episode title. It's a line drawn from Borrie's first poem of 2024 and if this effort is the measure then it's going to be a spectacular year all round. There's new segments, new music and new sponsors but - importantly - there's also the same old same old from our three intrepid 'analysts'. Hear the Gresini team meeting minutes, Rossi's letter, Freido's racer horoscope and much, much more. Oh,...

It might not be racing but it's still men riding motorcycles stupid fast so testing is worth talking about. Of course, if you're going to talk about a topic it's best to have a guest who knows what it all means and for that, we have Simon Crafar. Or Yoda, as we call him. As always, Simon delivers expertise and insight in a way few can and it makes for an engrossing conversation. In return for these gifts we give you we ask for only one small thing: money. You can give us some by joining our...

Even though Boris kissed him last time they met in person Joel Kelso agreed to come back on the Moto PG pod but with one caveat: it had to be on Zoom. Smart lad. And you should be glad he did agree because as always this chat with the Darwin born racer was both entertaining and enlightening. He's back in Moto 3 in 2024 and as you'll hear he's confident it will be a successful season which is great news for Australian motorcycle fans. So go and join Patreon or send us money by some other means...

Some questions don't have answers. Like how does somebody who knows as much about motorcycles and racing as Leon Camier end up on this podcast? Something is clearly amiss but again, dear listeners, it is you who benefits because Leon is a genius. He knows things that others don't know and he shares some of those things with us. It is enlightening and educational and everything this show usually isn't which, frankly, is a refreshing change. So listen and learn and enjoy. And then send us...

Remy Gardner has spent his life surrounded by people who know motorcycles and motorcycle racing so one can only imagine his shock when he found himself on the other end of a Zoom call with our three blowhards just before Christmas. But the 25-year-old never flinched and proved himself to be intelligent, thoughtful and articulate with his takes on his career and motorcycle racing more broadly. So brace yourselves, listeners, because in the same way Simon Crafar lifts the tone of the show when...

We don't yet have a nickname for him (feel free to make suggestions) but what a pleasure it was to chat with the popular and talented Sydneysider, Senna Agius. Senna heads to the Moto 2 World Championship in 2024 and somehow figured enduring an episode of Moto PG in the lead up would be good preparation. It'll be interesting to see how that pans out (hopefully really, really well!). There's also Borrie's poem and a few snippets from the Moto GP rumour mill so all in all worth pressing play....

You need to make a lot of good decisions to get to the top tier of motorcycle racing but even the best have the odd stumble. Jacob Raulstone has done everything right in his young career to date which is why he will be riding in Moto 3 in 2024 and you/we won't be. Given that, we can forgive him his poor judgement in agreeing to be part of this Summer Sessions madness and hope he can make a speedy recovery to common sense in time for the new season. In the meantime, we had a great chat and...

There are three categories of Motorcycle racer. There are gods (which is all of them, even the Captain) there are aliens (Marquez, Rossi, Jorge etc) and then there is our guest on Ep 118, Mat Mladin. There are no words that really capture the essence of Mladin though thousands have been used to try. This interview is everything you would hope for and more and while we say a huge thanks (again) to Mat for taking part it is YOU, the listener, who should be thanking US for making it happen. You...

We love our fans and especially our Patreon supporters. We really do. But there's no diplomatic way to say this people - collectively, your'e not the sharpest tools in the shed. We are having a competition. A brilliant competition, actually. A competition so good even Trump would admit it's better than any competition he's ever held because the prize is sex cannons. Yes, you heard right, SC Project sex cannons to the value of $5000. You wouldn't think it would be hard to give away, would you?...

There are few more knowledgeable, sensible or enlightened voices in Moto GP than New Zealand's Simon Crafar. And yet, for reasons unknown by mere mortals, he freely gives of his time to talk to a degenerate trio who spend the bulk of their time masquerading as podcast hosts and the rest of their time pretending they know something about motorcycles. The Lord works in mysterious ways and you, dear listeners, should be giving him praise tonight for he has bestowed upon you a great gift: Yoda...

The racing in Valencia was brilliant but not a patch on Borrie's final poem of the year. Or the Captain's final instructions for 2023. Or even Rossi's final letter for the year. All that (plus a brief appearance from special guest Simon Crafar before recording a seperate end of year episode with him) is inside. But before you press play, a reminder that Christmas is coming up and there is no better time than now to buy Borrie's books as a stocking stuffer. Or a paper weight. Or whatever....

If you're wondering what the title of this week's show is about, try hitting the play button. (Advertising voice: The Play Button. Your key to MotoPG glory.) Among this week's gems/disgraces depending which side of the woke fence you sit on are some hints and tips for the best ways to cook a puffin, the Captain's latest missive, Boris' Serbian interpretation of Mr Nine Times' thoughts on the week and a poem that Mrs Borrie called time on halfway through Boris' test reading. In Moto PG land...

Tug's away but The Dirty Badger brings the boys up to speed with all the news from the paddock over the weekend at Sepang where the Captain surpassed Cal Crutchlow for the number of falls in Malaysia. Rumours are flying about who'll replace Marc Marquez at HRC and the lads wonder who might be the next alien in the sport? There's Rossi's instructions, the Captain's debrief, Borries's poem and plenty more so press the play button and start living life right. IMPORTANT ANOUNCEMENT None of this...

The racing was glorious and the grid girls were spectacular. What more could a Moto GP fan want, I hear you ask? How about a poem? Or a behind the scenes look at Rossi's team instructions? Or the Captain's debrief of the week? Well you've come to the right place because there is all that and more in episode 112 of the greatest motorcycling podcast in the universe. Boris, Tugs and Freido dish it up like nobody else in the business and all you need to do to be a better person is press play and...

Eventful might be underselling the week at Phillip Island but in the end it was all worth it when we finally got to see the Johann Zarco backflip. The flying frenchman climbed out of his dumpster round the back of what passes for team buildings at the Island and grabbed his first victory in a crazy weekend of racing at the circuit at the end of the earth. Two of the three MotoPG reprobates were there and the third can't decide if he's glad or sad that he didn't go. Anyway, enough of this...

Have you ever seen three grown men choking down on one giant dick? Well you'll get to hear what that sounds like this week when Freido, Tug and Boris endure the humiliation of not just being wrong but being completely, totally and utterly wrong about Marc Marquez's move away from HRC to Gresini. For most people, this would be humiliating, embarrassing and emasculating. However, our three protagonists lack even that level of basic self awareness and so they push on regardless as though nothing...

Just because there was only half a race in Japan doesn't mean you only have to endure half an episode. Sure, the boys are all on their death beds but commitment (or sponsorship dollars, you decide) demands they provide the full complement of Moto PG staples. So there is Rossi's letter, Borrie's poem, The Chattering Of The Choomlas, the Captain's Letter (insert foghorn here)...it's all in here folks. And more. And they even talk a bit about motorcycles and the gods who race them. You know what...

They said it would be a disaster. They said it wouldn't go ahead. They said the track wasn't fit for purpose. Well WTF would they know? The lads are joined by India correspondent Mahendra to go over what turned out to be a fantastic Indian Moto GP. Sure there was a distinct and disappointing lack of elephants and a disturbingly high ratio of grandmothers in the crowd, but that didn't detract from what was a great first up effort for the world's most populous nation. It also inspired one of...

'The worst race of the season' and 'a wake up call for rest of the paddock'. Did somebody get out of the wrong side of the bed or does Tugs have a point? It's not the happiest episode of the Greatest Motorcycling Podcast in the Universe but it's not all doom and gloom either. There's the Captain's Instructions, Rossi's letter, Borrie's Poem (which is actually a song this week) and a supermodel joins the show for a chat. But if you don't press play you won't know what any of it is about so get...
