Fun interview, an epic era of racing in the 90’s pre-McGrath. Sounds like there’s a few more stories to tell. Maybe a part 2, but give Denny a danish so Chicken can finish a story while he’s chewing, lol. Luv ya Denny, Ping, Chicken. Thx for the memories
I'm so grateful for the opening disclaimer. That is exactly the kind of content I was hoping to hear in a conversation with Matiasevich. I knew some older dudes around the area who had nothing to do with motorcycles that were friends with him back then. Their stories about going to his house parties made me look up to Chicken as a total fuckin' legend. The dream was meant to be lived WFO.
Chicken is awesome! Saw him at a restaurant bar and started talking to him and had some drinks. I can say he is the coolest. I became a bigger fan after that.
I saw jeff back in 1990 I believe at San jose supercross .He got off hard in the main .I remember bumping into Jeff walking to the pits he looked dazed we had some small talk .jeff Stanton and jean micheal bayle had a fight for 1st place .I believe they were pissed at each other nowhere to be found at the Honda semis .Back in the day when you could walk into the pits freely.Great interveiw you 3 are a kick 👍💨
Nothing Beats WT Hands Down!Watching every Show from Europe and Enjoying it Extremly. Thanks,Ping,Mitch P,TLD,Etc...and the whole Team Who make the Show Happend!!!!
I highly respect the warning at the front end. I usually watch these in the living room and my 8 year old will tune in sometimes. Thanks! Now I’m watching on my phone in the bedroom! Hahaha
Thank you - Thank you - Thank you Jeff, Denny and Ping! I haven't laughed so hard for four plus hours. No BS chatter about the realities of racing and all associated. Favorite show yet.
Denny seems like a nice guy but needs to allow people space in the conversation, subtle hint. Great show Ping as always and another excellnt guest when he had a chance to talk, love from UK fan 👍
An epic time in the sport, early 90’s pre-McGrath on a 250. Fun interview, I’m thinking maybe a part 2 . On the next one , get Denny a danish or something . Lol, then Chicken can finish a story while Dennys chewing. Ping, Denny, Chicken, luv u guys, thx for the memories
I have never laughed so much in my life. Was always a Jeff Matiasevich fan and also a Denny Stephenson fan. At first I thought that Denny would over power the show, but nope...The absolutely perfect blend. I love how these guys had so much fun during their days in the sport. They lived their dream. I wish that we had riders with more personality within the sport these days. These days if someone colors outside of the lines people head straight to Social Media to bash them. The sport has become so Vanilla.
I remember Denny on his RM125 at Greeley our local Supercross in Colorado, Dubach, Lechein, Jim Holley all were there racing the oudoor rodeo arena also. Had to be 1989 or 1990. Very cool to see em on the show!
One of the best shows yet. I looked up to these two when I was a kid. I had the same bright neon colored fox gear that chicken and bradshaw wore. This was some funny shit! Brought back memories.
This is easily the best interview iv ever listen to.... I really feel chicken represents 90s moto like no other... at the time he had the best fluro gear best custom lids and he was fast! Zero shits given to the compition. Listen to him iv even more respect!! BJ from a random girl then wins the heat race... only chicken!! 🤜🤛💪
The one liners from this show will be the meat of my conversation from the next few months🤣 "In 87 you got x,y,z....", Ping "....wow!....." Chicken (news to him!lol🙌) 🤣😆🤣😆🤣😆
I couldn’t stop laughing 😂 this was my era and I went to school down the street from the Anaheim Hills house. Before Deegan and Linkogle there was Chicken 🐔
i wonder if bradshaw meant to take Chicken out in that supercross over in europe and was he injured? chicken was part of the changing and those new guys brought the speed
I saw the whole interview, But can someone tell me where is the part pingree ask him how he wants to be remembered? I want to show that to my wife and is my 2nd day trying and can’t find it, He is so bad ass that I love that part ha ha.
LoL 😂I had no idea these 2 were such good friends! LoL Smoking weed with B.A.G 90210 😂 I dig everyone even more after hearing these stories 👍Out did yourself again PING 🤘 Keeps getting better and better!!
93 with Larry Ward was at Pontiac I think. Then at Red Bud Larry told me Chicken wasn't there and didn't know nuffin. Lol definitely no love loss that year.
have mixed feelings, feel like denny needed to simmer down a bit, but also feel like he helped get chicken talking. their stories are epic. totally 90's moto. chicken was on his way out when i started, but denny was always a hero. lets get real for a second, the only reason most of us raced was for the chickas. roll into small town 🇺🇸 with a truck with a bike in the back, and they'd come out the woodwork.
Jeff doesnt speak much so I have no problem with Denny taking the drivers seat here. Yo guys gotta remember these two are friends who go back 35 years.
@@EarthSurferUSA Denny constantly interjected, cut Chicken off, shared his own unrelated anecdotes, sidetracked the conversation etc. Nothing against Denny, would love a seperate podcast with him and Ping. It was frustrating to watch, i didn't make it to the end. There was also a show a couple of weeks ago where the same thing happened, which was frustrating, and again i had to turn it off. GL was great, but Ping is a great interviewer and co-hosts should be respectful that Ping is the captain of the ship, which GL was great at, and it is not time for a pissing contest. You could always see that GL was concious, considerate, and respectful of the fact that it's Ping show. There was a point in this episode where Denny steered the conversation by jumping ahead in the timeline (suki, suzuki, suki) before Chicken could even finish answering a question/story. Ping said "hang on, you're jumping ahead, we'll get there" and Denny replied "Hey, easy now". This show is always extremely well researched and prepared (by Ping?, or others), and the pre-prepared timeline/questions enable a great flow. Otherwise it jumps all over the place, like in this one. I don't mind if it's Ping and friends shooting the shit, but i didn't learn a lot about Chicken or really hear histhoughts/opinions on things.
I really enjoyed this interview Denny pulling chicken along. Chicken can take a lot of kidding and having a good time. I do like the other style of interview where it's more organized but I enjoyed this one for the giggles.
I can’t agree any more. The show flows so much better with you as the interviewer. I liked Denny as a rider but he just needs to shut up, the interview was supposed to be with Jeff. Love the show though, have listened to almost all of them..
i met jeff a few times , very nice guy . . .he sure did alot of stupid shlt is his day , sounds like he has grown up alot . . young kids, fame and money .. .i would probably go wild to
Denny interupts too much. Chicken ends up being a bit of an ass like we always knew him to be. So f in jealous!! Great job like usual Ping. Keep it up. Pretty sure i ve listened to every episode at least once. I m just a Northern Canadian with a regular life so this kinda takes me away. I wasn t even offered a tennis racket when i was young...so i became a drywaller. Really 😁
@@EarthSurferUSA You've commented on every post before even watching (read your previous comments). If you watch it you will understand. May as well have just had Denny on telling Chicken stories. Let the man speak for himself. Ping is great and is able to get obviously quiet/understated guys open up like talking with old friends when the become comfortable. It's nothing against Denny, have a seperate episode with him. Instead we got a two for one and it just didn't work as well as the other one-on-ones.
One of best show, Stephenson was my hero and still one of my heroes but look like he drank 3 Monster drink, Lot of times Jeff was gonna say something important and Denny again 🤦🏻♂️🤣🤣 Amazing show anyways. ❤️💪🏻
I was a fan of Jeff, Im sure Denny is a great story...... Denny? Your show will be on later. Lets hear about Jeff for a bit. Your not even finishing his thoughts!! I I I I says Denny. Would of loved to hear Ping and Jeff just talk. lol
Keith Richards, Jim Morrison, and a mix of James Hetfield & Lars Ulrich.. Denny Stephenson is (was) imo the best tv commentator among mx racers (even in front of David Bailey)
Denny just brutally smashing over the Jeff and the whole telecast for hours this is not OK this is not a journalism. Waited so long to have Jeff at the show and I just can't watch this nuclear ego trip aggressivity. Can you please change the headline to Denny Stephenson, name Chicken to co-host and make an new show with Chicken please? I'm serious as a long time motosport journalist and MxGP commentator. Can we have Grant back please?
I remember a non AMA outdoor Pro race on TV (1989?) where Denny was slammed face first into the face of a double with his RM on top of him. Does anybody know what race that was?
@@DanArnets1492 used to be true, but not so much these days. when Chicken was here though, tats were def more of just a yakuza and chinpira/yankee thing.

Very interesting, Keep bringing guys from that era.
Ping's prowess as an interviewer has improved tremendously.
Ping is killing it. He comes prepared amd yet doesn't seem canned at all. Started out great and only getting better. Keep it up Ping!
@@NuvoVision He's good at bringing the interview back on track when they start off on a tangent about something.
thanks for the brilliant podcast . greets from lommel

Hell yeah. I remember sneaking into the Southwick pits in '92. I was 14 and it was like seeing actual superheroes

Thanks,Ping,Mitch P,TLD,Etc...and the whole Team Who make the Show Happend!!!!
Jeff looks like Vince Furnier aka Alice Cooper.😂
WOW. I feel like there was so much more to be shared. We need more Chicken & Denny. Great interview. !
I highly respect the warning at the front end. I usually watch these in the living room and my 8 year old will tune in sometimes. Thanks! Now I’m watching on my phone in the bedroom! Hahaha
Start em young...
Thank you - Thank you - Thank you Jeff, Denny and Ping! I haven't laughed so hard for four plus hours. No BS chatter about the realities of racing and all associated. Favorite show yet.
Wow, thats so cool to see Danny Stephenson again! Thanks for the video looking forward to watch now.
Denny seems like a nice guy but needs to allow people space in the conversation, subtle hint. Great show Ping as always and another excellnt guest when he had a chance to talk, love from UK fan 👍
Without Denny Chicken would be a no-show as the Pulp Show who tried to book Chicken by himself so thank you Denny…
This was a great interview. Matiasevich is a pretty good story teller and funny as hell.
I took a russ darnell school in 1976 in illinois,sparland.....

Sour Grape after you just brushed your teeth… not vanilla
Denny ruined the show but whatever , was never a Stephenson fan
I have one of his vhf I still like it.

This has been the best episode! Had me dying laughing along with you guys. Great stories.
Pingree is the Butters of mx. I met him almost every year from 98 to 01 and he was always a cool friendly dude.
Denny should be in every interview. He had me laughing 😂 When he goofs on chicken.. Priceless..
He's a character for sure 😂😂
I’m not even 1/4 way through and about to piss myself.. this is great.
One of the best shows yet. I looked up to these two when I was a kid. I had the same bright neon colored fox gear that chicken and bradshaw wore. This was some funny shit! Brought back memories.
I didnt think this was going to be good.. But I was wrong.. This was AWESOME !!!!!

Chicken is the perfect example of "the older I get, the better I Thought I was. " lol. Funny show.
This was a crazy ride!
Chicken‼️🤘💥
& Denny! Awesome Ping
Yessss!!!!! Thanks ping!!!
Jeff is the man's man.
this is the funniest show yet.
Great show
Chicken!! Love this show.
Ha! I did the Russ Darnell school also. Carnegie. Probably the same year...
i wonder if bradshaw meant to take Chicken out in that supercross over in europe and was he injured?
chicken was part of the changing and those new guys brought the speed
Love that denny is on here
Excellent show!
When I was a kid my buddy got a dmc125 kx. Bike was fkn fast.
3:06:00 - This is fuckin' hilarious. Why would he have ever thought that this was a good idea? Ha aha!
49:05 - "I went to Dallas?" Matiasevich is pretty funny.
Was this show about denny or chicken because I was really confused. Good lord denny let somebody talk once in awhile.
Ping kills it again! Great show
I saw the whole interview, But can someone tell me where is the part pingree ask him how he wants to be remembered? I want to show that to my wife and is my 2nd day trying and can’t find it, He is so bad ass that I love that part ha ha.
It is the last question we ask
@@whiskeythrottlemedia Thanks a lot ❤️💪🏻
This was epic
LoL 😂I had no idea these 2 were such good friends! LoL Smoking weed with B.A.G 90210 😂 I dig everyone even more after hearing these stories 👍Out did yourself again PING 🤘 Keeps getting better and better!!
93 with Larry Ward was at Pontiac I think. Then at Red Bud Larry told me Chicken wasn't there and didn't know nuffin. Lol definitely no love loss that year.
We dont know if he jumped it because big mouth denny interrupted for the 500th time!
have mixed feelings, feel like denny needed to simmer down a bit, but also feel like he helped get chicken talking. their stories are epic. totally 90's moto. chicken was on his way out when i started, but denny was always a hero. lets get real for a second, the only reason most of us raced was for the chickas. roll into small town 🇺🇸 with a truck with a bike in the back, and they'd come out the woodwork.

Jeff couldn’t get a word in with Denny!
“ if I’m taking this many steroids I want to be angry” Bahahahahaha
F-ck I love this - I don't know these guys but I know these guys
Oh hell fuck yes! This is going to be epic!!!! Thanks, ping.
What a show. 😂
Jeff is looking like Kieth Richard’s these days.
Sounds like him too
Suggestion for a guest that I think would actually be so dam good. Jake Weimer. That dude is seriously funny.
Chicken is awesome, telling Ping he didn't like him because he tried to be Mr. Perfect and making fun of Jeff Ward's running shorts. Dude is cool.
Ping, please, please, please, no more "co" hosts. Just yourself and your guest works so much better.
it kinda started out bad imo (reminded me when Broc was co-host) but i think Denny helped loosen Chicken up.

I still wanna know the 500 GP story! Great interview guys. I swear Jeff reminds me a little of Nick Saben in a way.
This show is only missing 4 glasses and a bottle of Hillrock !!! and GL ,
Denny interupts too much.
Chicken ends up being a bit of an ass like we always knew him to be.
So f in jealous!!
Great job like usual Ping. Keep it up.
Pretty sure i ve listened to every episode at least once.

I have to ride and John Savinsky‘s tracks, and Rich Winkler Stracks Savinsky certainly built a better race track. It separated the man from the boys.
Holy shit, wanna take a 4 hr road trip so I can listen uninterrupted
I play videogames as I listen to this
Co host kind thought it wad his time, should let chicken talk more.
@@EarthSurferUSA exactly!
I had that video, wore it out.
Without denny i think it would have been a little boring. Jeff not a big talker, can't remember shit, lol😂 loved it

Does anyone have any guesses as to what his 500 U.S. GP story he refused to tell is?
A disclaimer is always a good idea, before chatting with Bam Margerra and Alice Cooper.
What's the guy with the beard on?
Keith Richards, Jim Morrison, and a mix of James Hetfield & Lars Ulrich..

Did anybody else know this was a show about Denny? They'd get far less views if they admitted that up front.
Oklahoma city in 89 was a mud race

1990 Oklahoma Supercross. I've watched it a hundred times. Brutal..
@@DC-ng2db OH shit
Thats it! So it was an AMA race, THX !!
Glad he was alright after that.
I quit watching when I realized there wasnt any video of Jeff and Damons track battles, most likely
because of copyright BS WTF ..
Society is different
remember when he made the jump to japan #54. i think it was the fist time the japanese fans ever really saw anyone with tats.
Tattoos are for yakuza what buttpatches are for MX riders - If you're known as The Dragon you get a huge dragon on your back
@@DanArnets1492 used to be true, but not so much these days. when Chicken was here though, tats were def more of just a yakuza and chinpira/yankee thing.
Make a 350 class
Terrible choice of co-host. Motormouth Denny, lay off the blow
"You know who she left me for? Jimmy button."
Great show
