- At the request of fans, we will be covering the life and career of The Whiskey Throttle Show co-host Grant Langston. GL amassed an incredible number of titles during his career, even though it was cut short by eye cancer.
This is a damn good show and fucking amazing stories. I start listening and cannot walk away from it. Legends!
Great podcast grant has a great story and is obviously a natural story teller. I really enjoyed how he tackled the low points without beating around the bush. I think after listening to this he is probably underrated considering how his career got cut short immediately after winning the 450 title and the U.S. Open.
best show yet. Thanks Ping and GL...
wow, amazing story of courage and perserverance from both grant and his dad. For me this is the best show to date
Solid Dude. Great show. thanks.
Great one! Heart touching in the end... Love you Grant & Ping... you guys are making the top of moto tangible to those who not only want to race, but all those who would love to work in the industry around the sport.
I like sober Grant when he's being interviewed, drunk Grant when he's interviewing someone else. That's the formula.
Love listening to these two cats!
Really super interview, love hearing the inside workings of working for a manufacturer as a racer. This was like relieving a almost forgotten time of late 90's to mid 2000. Pre tech boom...awesome
Wow. What a great show. Great stories from Grant. Love all the insights into the riders lifes. Loads of stuff you never knew guys had going on.. Great show guys really interesting 👍
One of the best interview/ story telling i have ever heard. Kept me interested from start to finish. Great job guys!!! GL my respect for overcoming your demons!
wow ..!!! what a great pod cast, Langston has one of the best stories
I grew up in Las Vegas and raced the world Minis every year from 92 to about 2001 back then I never really thought I was racing with the future of motocross
I really enjoyed this show! I loved hearing about all the ups and downs in your life and how you dealt with it all. Grant, you really have an amazing story. Thanks for sharing it.
Gl is the man. Always piled for him. A shame he had those problems on 08 , going through something similar right now with my back. Legendary career and his announcing. My favorite podcast, you guys nailed it
2003 Glen Helen, hot as hell... Grant took the time to chop it up a little with me and my friends, we were just teens at the time and really thought it was cool that he didn’t ignore us and was so down to earth.
Ping is an awesome interviewer. Very attentive
Good to hear your life story Grant.Your European race shirt signed by you is still on my wall.Still remember you taking my brand new CR250 for your SABC interview.Followed you since,thks.
What a dude...The most fantastic moto interview ever!!!
Great show. My five-year-old sons first race ever is just weeks away...Loretta's area qualifier. This is going to be interesting.
GL AND PING, Thank you for both for the years on the mx and supercross racing days!! I was able to enjoy the 20% off the Power Dot unit as a past BMXer, Motocross racer and now entrepreneur, I too will enjoy this units healing power.
Yupp, that's what a lot were waiting for. Genial! Love this show because there is everyting so pure and free - and nothing gotten killed by "political correctness" - it is what it is. Hope this may go on forever!!! Thank you very much! Kind regards Thomas
Great to hear the stories from the past and present movers and shakers in the business. Of the ones I have watched so far this is my favorite. Just to hear all that Grant has endured in his career, and how it was cut short. Can't wait to hear from the Little Professor in a upcoming show.
Grant was cool to talk with us fans, Made us realize Pro Motocross riders are people too, just have that extra Braaaap in their wrist.
Great show, Grant we all love you man!
Grants such a great voice of the sport. Awesome interview!
Great show! Grant's life story was a great episode! Keep up the good work
This was the best show i have seen on here. G.L is a tough dude and a great champion. Now do a show on Donnie Hansen... you will be surprised about his racing career.
Love the show! Langston was one of my favorite riders growing up. I'd love to see Mike LaRocco on here!
Love the show and Real talk47. We moto guys been needing some good podcasts. Definitely appreciate the time you guys put in
Great show! Tell the Zooloo Warrior that his legacy is a great one. He will be remembered as a great guy and a tenacious racer (especially if you tried to knock him down!)
The best one so far.
Realest podcast in moto. Cool way to learn more about the older generations of moto and hear what went on behind the scenes then. Instead of the usual whats going on in the sport now. Rather here all the badass stories you guys tell!
Brilliant, best one so far. Amazing story and life GL 🤙🏻
GL's party stories > Fro party stories. Fro is too mature, he doesn't devulge enough of those juicy deets. Also, David Bailey...We need the master on one of these shows. I've said it 1000 times. Great work guys
Another awesome podcast. You guys are knocking it out of the park.
Love the whiskey throttle. Keep it up guys
Great show tonight!
I had no Idea what happened to grant after he left the sport because of the Melanoma. what a great story of perseverance and tribulations to never give up. Go GL!!
GL will always be a complete legend! #8
This was solid, good stuff Grant.
This interview is a prime example of what makes great content, and what has made this show so good so quickly. The only thing you missed was the opportunity to weave in a plug for one of your sponsors by saying you might not have needed the pills if you'd had a product like the Power Dot.
Excellent show fella's. 👍
GL is a great guy, I' m glad they had GL as the guest
great show....great interview.
Ask David Bailey to come, Legend
Helllllll yeaaa good call definitely need david on here
That would be the best interview.
Been saying this for weeks
Even though I've been hearing he's less than enthusiastic about fans.... I'd love to hear an interview with my all time fav Jeff Stanton.. loved that dude as a kid!!! Those pink hondas! With the blue backgrounds!!
Man I would love to make it on the show in the future. My new bucket list.a championship this year would be nice to.
Grant's dad about being hard on him... and the parents who were soft on them, is so true how it was in my day... love his dad having GL starting last as well.. but sad how it works out when you have no direction... especially when racers don't transition from top expert to the pros... I was in that group and my life took somewhat of a rough road after racing for the lack of guidence, and all my misplaced aggression and adrenaline... I had some spectacular crashes myself... Both Big James and Big Rick would remember some of them... even a hellicopter ride from going through a bobbed wire fence in 1984 Mini Os Hairscrambles... Once I crashed on a tripple at Dade City in a 125A Gold Cup race. I was so spun out, I got up going the wrong way... a flagger jumped out on the track waving me down... I turned around as the leader Harrold Matthews, who I was beating lapped me.. I snapped out of my fog as he was getting the white flag right in front of me... we battled on his last lap to where we were elbow to elbow and I finally stuffed him in a berm sending him to the dirt just one turn before his checkers... so I got the white flag twice... the only time in my life... lol.
Best interview yet,and that’s saying a lot because they are all good. Very honest and insightful. Thanks for the great work. Any chance of getting Hannah on? Cheers!
Grant, amazing interview. Impressive upfront painfully honesty on coming off the highs of being the champion into real-life challenges that have their own successes and failures. You are a champion of life in overcoming your challenges.
Thanks for this great show, The Whiskey Throttle Show.
About the ALOHA SX .Tyler Entecknab mentions he was gonna get paid a lot to do that race, in the vid after his Nashville crash. I know he is a support Rider , like Ping mentioned hearing about. Great Show and GRANT story !
GL and Ping, work well off each other. WT is a great show.
Ping..Was it Cambell Park..In Hawaii..? I raced BMX there and then Moto TT once.. Pre '81. The first Aloha Supercross was after that..So I missed those...
Anyway..Great show with Grant.. Good stuff. As you guys said..these shows are cool..because of the Story..how people got there and what they went thru..highs and lows. Etc..We all have them on different scales.. Keep up the good work..and Hope things get figured out for 2021..I enjoy the Shows.. Even when holding my phone for 3 hours..haha..Thanks alot..
Great show. All caught up and I enjoyed all 13! Let’s hear from McGrath soon
GL is a legend good stuff!!!
great show thanks guys !
When is Troy Lee going to be on?
First time I saw Grant Langston was at a GFI race at Perris raceway in California. While unloading my KX I listened with halfmy attention to the practice session running at the time. This was back (way) in the day of the two-stroke, when you could still understand what a rider did by listening to the subtle difference in RPM,throttle application, and the bike taking bumps etc.. Each lap would have riders dealing with a section consisting of a set of 10 or more 4 ft tall rolling mounds set maybe 8-10ft apart. Either you doubled or rolled over and raced to the next, and so on. But,,I finally, after hearing this repetitive THUD,,GRIONK! , THUD!, GROINK! over these each lap. Walked over to see WTF, and some animal on a KTM is skipping across the tops, through the entire series of moguls, from top to top,,, on a wheelie....WOW. The THUD was the hit as the rear caught the next top, and the GROINK was the poor tortured KTMs frame and suspension loudly complaining as it flexed. Lap after lap. Both practice and both motos. Almost both motos. It bit him on the ass eventually, with a good crash. But I never heard a bike groan like that again, unless its when a rider misses a big jump and stalls it in the air before crushing the landing. Awsome.
So was Mich laughing after the expose? Funny as though. Never followed MX at this point , busy working in Europe but Grant sounds like a good racer and fun to be around. Very much a fan of this show guys , good job keep them coming. And wow dude you been through some shit , and I admire your openness. You and Ping are good at this stuff.
I love the intro song
Keep playing it guys
GL is just awesome!
Awesome.
F*cking mud huts tho! that stuff cracks me up every time someone asks
Guys FIM rules .AMA gave it up, sold it out, what ever.
KTM still pissed over the Broc thing. So the Marv deal they can't piss off KTM again.
Never has been equal rulings, way back from the start. Might be DeCoster?
Money feeds us all but corrupts the show.
Glade to hear you discussing it. Keep it up.
Would have liked to hear 5 minutes from the family maybe at the end of the show
Think about this!! Jet will qualify for both classes for the final 3 rounds, 250 Supercross, and 450 outdoors baring injury. Giving him the potential to win both world championships in the same year??
58:05 looks like a 95 cr80, my second bike, wish i still had it
theres a guy who was rpo in the early and mid 90"s from ohio thats from and lives 10 minutes from old kenworthys but he had a eye problem make him retire from pro level racing. he had to start racing in open face helmet anytime he did ride or race. His name is Josh Steele he was at one time team green rider for many years. He had few races of top 5's as privateer in supercross but never ha full factory ride just support help of free stock crated bikes. I dont remember of his LL's finishes but he was top prospect in his hay day.
Whiskey Throttle show t-shirt? I want a long sleeve t-shirt please.
@13:56, Chad is tough, so tough he once made Chuck Norris cry
pain pill addiction is real ive been there
Yall r awesome get Mike alesi. Man that would be good.. Lol
Didn't jorgensen gain an advantage when he was off the track by accelerating full throttle while Howell was in the air? Is getting back on the track and going all the way across the track and taking someone's line part of the problem? Also, coming back on at the apex of a corner is kind of an advantage because the rider on the track has to travel a longer distance. I agree there wasn't a much better place to come back on. Maybe if jorgensen would have came back on and stayed on the inside it would have been fine. Was accelerating while he was off the track what the FIM had a problem with?
Taking points is a pretty big deal in Marv's situation with him being close in points for the championship.
When will the next episode be out? I'M HAVING WHISKEY WITHDRAWALS!!!
what's the whiskey throttle show website with all the photos of the guest.
Classic case of guaranteeing success...when you arrive at the beachhead, burn the ships (sell everything) that brought you there as that gives you only one option...win. Brutal! But what a rush
@@EarthSurferUSA no, but making it the only option creates focus and commitment. Choices cause delays and keeps people in the comfort zone. Just a life style choice, not an absolute and certainly not balanced
Man didnt know grant had a pain pills addiction, good for him for getting off it.
Seems nobody is aware the same exact thing happened to jmart at Indy last year. With a 7 pt lose but kept his win . I’m a nobody but when rc was talking like Roczen was gonna be credited with the win was 🤦♂️. Officials did a piss poor job of letting them know. They should’ve had a decision before lap 5 , it’s simple. But I guess Gallagher isn’t so quick to penalize Red Bull ktm. The whole deal is a joke. But great season so far. RC is one of my all time favorites but not in the booth. Id much rather have Daniel Blair in the booth
He didn't go into much detail about the races that made his career legendary..
Whoops in a sweeping 180...that would be the best. More hip jumps or hip rhythms.
I agree with Ping about the Penalty on Musquin. He still got the win, which he received the advantage by jumping through the Red Cross flag. The rule is so poorly worded in such a way that it is a joke.
does he interrupt himself?
Isnt there different rules for going off the track vs a red cross flag?
Right on Ping!!! Show that producer some arm pump! Like shut the f up!! Good job.You had the DAD state down...
Hey I'm an aircraft technician, maybe I'll have a son who will be a champ 😆
GL needs to return as a commentator.
Man, that femur story....
Sorry GL no podiums in 06
Mitch For MXDN team!!!
Who"s Grant Langston??? Lol
Marv is a dirty rider. Always has been. So the ama has dropped the ball. So is the ama fixed too?
I As an avid motocrosser will never own a junk electric bike ever
The old Red Bull KTM team sounded like a bunch of wildboyz. Stippers, booze, and being reckless with production 50s
Taking weeks off so people can get caught up is nonsense. Any podcast with a large following uploads consistently and the great thing about a podcast is you can listen when ever you want. Taking half a month off will in no way help you gain dedicated listeners. If you guys need a two weeks off for vacation just say that, claiming your taking to weeks off for your listeners or to so how enhance the listening experience is completely a bull shit excuse and sounds about as plausible as Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny. super weak excuse!
Take a chill pill. How about you appreciate the access to all this great history of the sport. Whiskey Throttle provides the some of the best content available anywhere.
Really? Been told by multiple people they haven’t had time to listen to them all. If you don’t like it then fuck off.
Lol what are these joker's talking about. The decision around Marv was to the letter by the rule book and that lcq guy litterally un passed him self whilst off track. The rules are fine, these muppets just don't understand them lol
