Life is full of surprises. There's the unwelcome kind, like when the doctor says "I have your test results. I'm afraid it's gonorrhea" and then there's the more pleasant kind, like this episode of the greatest Motorcycling Podcast On Earth when Simon Crafar returns to talk all things Moto GP. Crafar is one of the most respected analysts in the business which begs the question: Why would he be part of this nonsense not once, but twice? Apparently he likes the lads. So much so he even has Borries'...
May 19, 2023•1 hr 17 min•Transcript available on Metacast Freido is away on 'Big Business' but never fear, Boris and Tug are in complete control. And if you believe that, you must be a first time listener so welcome to the madness that is MotoPG, the Greatest Motorcycling Podcast on Earth that sometimes even talks about motorcycling. (When it's not bogged down in talk of choomlas and Borrie's books, which are good, and you should buy). If you've been here before you know what to expect. If you haven't, proceed with caution. You might love it. We do. IM...
May 16, 2023•2 hr 33 min•Transcript available on Metacast What do women's pubic wigs have to do with the greatest sport in the world? Nothing, of course. But when the Greatest Motorcycling Podcast On Earth puts the two together you know that somewhow it must make sense. So press play and find out how. You won't regret it. (Actually, you might regret it but you won't know unless you try, will you? It's a conundrum, yes, but these are the things that make life interesting.) Now forget the philosophy, did you bitches buy Borrie's books yet? Shame and a po...
May 02, 2023•2 hr 22 min•Transcript available on Metacast Before we get on to this week's episode, did you bitches buy Borrie's books yet? The big man does nothing but give to you people, week in and week out, and he asks nothing in return. Except that you buy his books. Books which are filled with his blood, sweat and tears. And love. Every word a meticulously crafted gem, dragged from deep within his soul. If you haven't bought one of Borrie's books you should be ashamed of yourself and your life choices and do something about it immediately by going...
Apr 18, 2023•2 hr 56 min•Transcript available on Metacast There is a very simple answer to all the questions we receive about the greatest motorcycling podcast on earth here at MotoPG HQ. That answer is: 'you'll have to listen'. For example, somebody will ask this week 'Where do you get these episode titles from?' and the answer is 'you'll have to listen'. 'Why is he called The Captain?' someone will say and the answer is 'you'll have to listen.' 'Why should Borrie's Poem legitimately be considered high art?' 'You'll have to listen'. You get the idea. ...
Apr 04, 2023•2 hr 2 min•Transcript available on Metacast It's back bitches! And it's glorious. The gift that keeps on giving once again exceeded expectations to kick off 2023 and Freido, Tug and Boris are here to highlight all the highlights. From the new sprint race to the Captain bitching and Jack Miller flying, there was something for everyone at Portimao. Ep 91 has all the usual insight and analysis from the world of Moto GP and beyond plus there's Borrie's Poem, Rossi's Instructions and the new segment that's sure to be a hit, The Captain's lette...
Mar 28, 2023•2 hr 14 min•Transcript available on Metacast It's not quite The Beatles breaking up but Boris flying solo with no Tug or Freido might be just as confronting. Sadly, that's where we find ourselves this week folks with both Tug and Freido indisposed leaving the Big Man unsupervised at the microphone. Thank God the Dirty Badger dropped in to break things up a bit. It's all about testing this week which, as Boris so eloquently notes, tells us everything and nothing about what to expect for 2023. It's a Moto PG with a difference so get it in yo...
Feb 15, 2023•1 hr 10 min•Transcript available on Metacast Americans aren't like us. Well most of them, anyway. But there are a few who are a bit like us and we've found some in the world of Moto GP podcasting. As most of you already know, the vast majority of Moto GP podcasts are rubbish. That's why you're here. But the lads at Pin The Gas are different. Because they're more like us. See? Try to keep up people. Anyway, they had Boris on their podcast as a guest awhile back so we're returning the favour in our Summer Sessions and introducing them to you...
Jan 16, 2023•30 min•Transcript available on Metacast When this podcast launched the simple concept (in lieu of a business plan) was to capture the demented ramblings of three self appointed motorcycle racing experts and see if anybody thought they were funny. And to the amazement of many (including themselves), people did. And there was merriment and much laughter and mirth as our three loveable clowns brought their own brand of 'analysis' to the world of Moto GP and motorcycling more generally. But nobody's laughing any more because it turns out ...
Jan 09, 2023•2 hr 32 min•Transcript available on Metacast Party's over bitches. Christmas is in the rear view mirror and it's 2023 so time to get back to work ahead of what's going to be another crazy season of racing and podcasting. We're kicking off the New Year by chatting with one of Australia's best racing prospects, the Ginger Ninja Joel Kelso, who also happens to be one of the sport's best interviews. Press play now to find out if Kelso really did organise Pedro Acosta's first root (and plenty of other stuff, too).
Jan 02, 2023•22 min•Transcript available on Metacast Last week it was Whitney Houston but the inspiration for this week's episode comes from the late, great English comedian Sean Lock who coined the magnificent term 'Merrynium' to describe the week between Christmas and New Year. You know, that bit between two other bits that nobody's really sure what to do with? So to celebrate the 2022 Merrynium, we bring you Episode 4 of the Moto PG Summer Sessions. Today's guest is Nigel Harvey, a man everybody who loves motorcycles and motorcycling should wan...
Dec 26, 2022•32 min•Transcript available on Metacast Like Whitney Houston, we here at MotoPG believe that children are our future. And that motorcycle riding is the Greatest Love of All. And so on this episode of Summer Sessions we meet some of those children that are our future, the Moto GP stars of tomorrow. Senna Agius and Luke Power are two young riders with the world at their feet. In fact, the only lapse in judgement either has shown to this point in their respective careers is to appear on this podcast. So enjoy it, because it may be the la...
Dec 19, 2022•36 min•Transcript available on Metacast There's a few words we throw around too freely in sport. Penultimate is one but legend is another. Genuine legends are few and far between but nobody in Australian motorcycle racing would dispute the fact that Wayne Maxwell is one of them. He's officially pulled the pin on his career but as you'll find out on this episode he's still got plenty to contribute.
Dec 12, 2022•37 min•Transcript available on Metacast Just because there's no racing doesn't mean there's no Moto PG. Boris, Tug and Freido are nothing if not innovative so to keep you all entertained during the off season they came up with the brilliant idea of the Summer Sessions where they will interview guests, organise giveaways and try to dream up new ways of squeezing more money out of this hot mess. There will be poems, profanity and plenty of childish humour but to make sure you all listen there is also free beer. Yes, you read that right ...
Dec 05, 2022•55 min•Transcript available on Metacast Our intrepid trio aren't the types to look back. Lord knows, the carnage they would see if they did might just make them stop and think and stopping and thinking are NOT among their strengths. But the season is over and so there must be harsh judgement made with the benefit of hindsight and this is very much in their wheelhouse. Boris has a poem (that doesn't miss anyone) and The Captain, Rossi and George all weigh in with end of season thoughts. Freido has joined Twitter (and people think Elon ...
Nov 08, 2022•2 hr 47 min•Transcript available on Metacast 'The art of rhythmical composition, written or spoken, for exciting pleasure by beautiful, imaginative, or elevated thoughts.' None of these words from dictionary.com's definition of poetry relate in any way to what Boris delivers each episode. For that, you would need to add terms like tawdry, profane, puerile, defamatory and NSFW. Oh, and entertaining. As this week's effort - 'The Hot Girl Yogurt' - proves. It is as offensive as the title suggests and yet, somehow, the giant mad bastard makes ...
Oct 25, 2022•1 hr 25 min•Transcript available on Metacast Boris might be an imposing figure of a man but when it comes to motorcycles and the men who race them he much more resembles a 12-year-old girl at a boy band concert. And it's a beautiful thing. Fresh back from Phillip Island where the cult of Moto PG came into the light (with everyone from riders to officials pledging their love for the Greatest Motorcycling Podcast on Earth) Boris has news. And a poem. And a letter from George. And there is racing to talk about, too. Some of the best racing ev...
Oct 19, 2022•2 hr 37 min•Transcript available on Metacast You'd think three talentless bums who lucked their way into a successful podcast thanks to some extraordinary (and ongoing) work behind the scenes would be grateful for the help, wouldn't you? Especially when the figure of their fun is the person who writes the show notes? And yet here we are. But enough about the internal squabbling that is integral to what makes this the Greatest Motorcycling Podcast In The World. This week Simmo is back in the studio because apparently three listeners didn't ...
Oct 04, 2022•2 hr 39 min•Transcript available on Metacast Tug is phoning it in this week (in every imaginable way) but it hasn't effected the quality of analysis at all, as you can probably tell from the title. None of that matters this week, though, because Jack Miller is a winner again and when that happens, 'the world seems a happier place', as Boris notes. That's just one inane observation among many as the boys break down happenings at Motegi, George's letter, Rossi's thoughts for the week and Borrie's poem plus some special announcements and heap...
Sep 27, 2022•1 hr 20 min•Transcript available on Metacast Who could possibly be interested in three reprobates with microphones talking about a 'sport' that more resembles a soap opera for grown men than any serious competitive endeavour? Surely there isn't a market for that sort of thing? Well, dear listener, it turns out there is and this podcast is the proof. It's childish, it's politically incorrect, it's puerile and offensive. And thanks to you, it's popular. Regulars will know what Borrie's poem, George's letter, Rossi's email and Ropes and Shove...
Sep 20, 2022•2 hr 36 min•Transcript available on Metacast Freido is in Misano with an unstable erection but he managed to get through most of the show before being prematurely ejected. Don't let the dodgy tech put you off, though, because Boris and Tug are in studio with a special guest (no, not Mat Mladin) and Ep 76 ticks all the usual boxes. Borrie's Poem is a highlight (of course) and George's letter might be his best yet plus there's a bonus 'Why Are You Too Tight To Be A Patreon Pit Crew Member' abusive phone call to listen in on. You just don't g...
Sep 06, 2022•2 hr 46 min•Transcript available on Metacast Sometimes it's difficult to know what to write in this space. How is one supposed to summarise, in a few sentences, a 'show' that more resembles a children's birthday party with drugs introduced than any sort of adult conversation? If you're a first time listener all we can do is apologise. For the rest of you, you know what you've signed up for. Highlights this episode include: Borrie's boxing tips for special guest Lachlan Epis. (Did we mention we had a special guest? Well we do. It's ASBK rid...
Aug 23, 2022•2 hr 44 min•Transcript available on Metacast It's like riding a bike, really. Sure, the summer break is too long and too boring (though Borrie has an idea for how to fix that) but it's as though the boys never left the mics. Episode 74 is just as childish and offensive as the 73 that came before it despite a six week break from actual racing. Inside you'll find all the ingredients that make Moto PG the greatest motorcycling podcast on earth including Borrie's poem, Rossi's letter, George's email, We Told You So and more. They're like KFC's...
Aug 10, 2022•1 hr 25 min•Transcript available on Metacast About the only thing this bucks party didn't have was the buck himself (though those in attendance got the next best thing...an interview with his family!). Free food, free beer, strippers and talk about motorcycles...what more could any man want (aside form a huge pile of money and an even bigger pile of supermodels?) If you didn't take the necessary steps to attend Jack Miller's Bucks party ask yourself some very direct and very serious questions about your life choices because you are clearly...
Aug 05, 2022•1 hr 24 min•Transcript available on Metacast ANOTHER Moto PG? But you've barely had time to digest the last one? Stop panicking bitches, this one's a special announcement. It's not like the usual infantile, puerile, childish, hour-long plus diatribe normally served up on this channel. This one is only a few minutes long. Sure, it's all those other things as well but just in a tighter package. So press the play button and find out what it is that Boris, Tug and Freido are trying to sell you this week. It might even be worth it!
Jul 03, 2022•4 min•Transcript available on Metacast As Jerry was to George and Elaine in Seinfeld, so Freido is to Boris and Tug on Moto PG. He is the glue that bonds the whole thing together. His presence elevates the entire operation, lifting it to a product that exceeds the sum of its parts. As much as they missed the little fella last week they're equally happy to have him back for episode 71 and he doesn't disappoint. Like Santa, Freido comes bearing gifts of gossip and news from the paddock, some of which he even shares on the show (though ...
Jun 29, 2022•2 hr 46 min•Transcript available on Metacast When the racing is boring (like it was on Sunday) you'd probably think the podcast will be uninteresting, too. But that would be ridiculous because the greatest motorcycling podcast on earth isn't so much MotoGP news as MotoGP Neighbours. Sure, there are men riding motorcycles at stupid fast speeds but the truth is it's just a giant soap opera for grown men. And we at Moto PG are totally here for it. This week Freido is on the ground in Assen (international incident to come, no doubt), Borrie ha...
Jun 22, 2022•1 hr 24 min•Transcript available on Metacast Usually in life we celebrate the high achievers. The ones who do the things we ourselves could not. Think Federer, Woods, Rossi and - yes - even Marquez. But every now and then the Lord gifts us an individual so glorious in their stupidity, so munted in their lack of ability, so genuinely and universally unlikeable that we must stop. And reflect. And then applaud and cheer the staggering lack of talent and self awareness, and revel in their failures. In our midst, in 2022, such a character exist...
Jun 07, 2022•2 hr 35 min•Transcript available on Metacast Nobody Chases Baby Jeebus. It's like a hippie shit themselves. Tits make everything better. This is just a small sample of the highlights that await in Episode 68 of the greatest motorcycling podcast on earth and it's difficult to imagine a good reason why you haven't pressed play already? There's also Borrie's Poem, We Told You So and George's Email. And Rossi's Letter. And the segment music is back. Still reading? FFS, just hit the play button already. Your life will never be the same again. T...
May 31, 2022•2 hr 41 min•Transcript available on Metacast Sometimes motorcycle racing is about more than motorcycles and racing. Sometimes - when it is in France for example - it is about motorcycle racing AND sexiness. And so it was at Le Mans which not only delivered the magnificence of The Beast but also introduced Choomlah Peek a Boo to Moto GP. An historic weekend, bitches, and one that is celebrated in full in this truly magnificent episode of the greatest motorcycling podcast in the world. The Following is a Public Service Announcement: None of ...
