Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 вер 2024
- Chad Reed is one of the most influential and iconic motorsports athletes to every come out of Australia. His accomplishments are known to even the most casual Australian sports fan and are the stuff of legend to die hard fans. Today Chad announced a 1 year deal with the JGR Suzuki team for 2019 and we sat down with Chad after the Aus X Open for one of the most epic editions of Gypsy Tales yet.
ABOUT THE SHOW:
If this is your first time listening to Gypsy Tales, this might help to give you some context. The show's host Jase Macalpine is a professional film maker that has spent the last 10 years traveling the world filming action sports, predominantly motocross and supercross, for companies like FOX, Red Bull, Suzuki and more. This is not an interview... This is a podcast with no organized questions or direction and the goal is to try to record a conversation that would take place if a couple of friends sat down at a BBQ with no cameras rolling. Thanks for watching!
You can also find the podcast on iTunes and Spotify.

Hey guys! Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who has listened and taken the time to write a post... For sure not closed off to constructive feedback. Just thought I might share my thoughts and maybe show you my perspective with it all, and the method to the approach.
I think first of all there has to be a distinction to what I'm trying to be. There is a line between and interview and a podcast, and I think there are people that like the interview style and people who like it to just be a random chat. I am way more on the random chat side of things which makes me not run these things like an interview.
I can tell you now, Chad ain't signing up to do a three hour 'interview' with anyone he isn't obligated too. So the product can't be an 'interview'. I have spent the last ten years as the guy who got sent questions by brands and stood there behind a camera asking them and I'm not into it any more. I've heard every answer to every questions at this point.
So to anyone that has commented saying something about this 'interview' or referring to me as an 'interviewer' I really just have to shrug that off. It's not what I'm going for at all. It's a conversation and a conversation is something that goes back and forward between too people.
With the interrupting... I get it. I am conscious of and it's something I want to do less of. But to again try add some perspective I will explain a couple of might thoughts as to why I do it.
People alway ask me 'How do you get people to talk for so long' and I always respond as a joke 'I just don't let them finish their first sentence'. But it is kind of true. The thing that kills these things is an awkward silence. And I have no questions in front of me and I do zero prep work. So I feel like I need to keep adding, digging when it gets slow and adding my own experiences to keep it moving along. There is also no set time limit on these things. If the conversation gets to that awkward pause stage, Chad picks up his phone, sees the million messages he's got and decides it's time to bail. I'd rather do my part to keep the conversation going than to let the guest get bored and bail.
I would be talking shit if I said I haven't listened to one back and thought I was an idiot for butting in. But I have done nearly 150 hours of these things this year and you just can't nail every minute. But again, I do wanna work on getting that balance right.
I think it's worth adding too that people generally don't enjoy talking about themselves for three hours. If you went to a BBQ and talked for three hours about your self, people would think your a dick. So I think part of what the guests enjoy is that it's easy, theres no set questions or agenda going in and the chat just goes where it goes.
I think too there's something about the loose style, with the over the top about of fucks, that lets these dudes relax. When was the last time you hear chat say 'Fuck yes sign me up' when talking about a contract. And again I want this to be what we would talk about on the beers at a bbq when the cameras aren't rolling, not an interview.
And I think the most important thing about this is that I just do this for fun. It is a really really fun way to spend a few hours with people. And I have made really great friends out of this. People like Chad who I really didn't have a lot to do with and I even admitted at the start that I used to look for reasons not to like him... People like Adam Greentree who I talk to regularly. So I think that needs to be noted. I am really not trying to bring people a 60 minutes tell all with Chad Reed. I'm just trying to roll the cameras on two people talking shit about the similar stuff they are into, or new things they are into that I haven't heard of.
Take it for what it is. Or try find another one of these with Chad that goes for almost three hours.
Anyway guys, just a couple of my thoughts and thanks again.
Jase
I can understand where some people are coming from but I also prefer this style of podcast video that's not the same boring interview like on TV, enjoyed the chat you guys had and got to find out some things that Chad has not really spoken about in depth to the public.
Thanks for the video.
Well said, I do understand the criticism a bit as I've been known to do the same thing. I think it comes from legitimate passion and enthusiasm... Don't lose that, you'll naturally evolve! Cheers!
GYPSY TALES keep on keeping on.
It does have a jre feel to it and thats a good thing
After I read this I totally understood the flow of the podcast. More people need to read this before being so negative.
Props to you bro! Keep this shit rolling 🤙
GYPSY TALES yeah I also thought about this, how maybe CHAD would rather ‘chat’ rather than to feel like he’s only being heard without any back and forth dialogue. Would be awkward. So, yeah, I get it! It was good
I liked this interview. Honestly there was some interrupting going on, but that's genuine interest coming through. The same people that complain about that are the same people that would complain about reed going onto a different podcast, getting asked generic questions, following a strict interview structure, and talking to a guy that knows nothing about him or the sport. I appreciate the back and forth and I appreciate that the interviewer has some insider insight and history with the sport and various riders, because it allows Reed to turn off his press conference facade get deeper.
Thanks man, that’s a super insightful comment. Appreciate it
Chad Reeds the main reason I still go to supercross every year.
Chad is a great Champion but he is an incredible father and husband. Nice interview!
This mans my hero, been my favorite since 103 4 stroke days.. Ever since Bubba disrespected Chad by waiting at the nationals on the track? It lit a fire in Chad, Chad made it a point in the 250 class to give him hell every lap . This man has raced against McGrath, Carmichaels prime, Bubbas prime , windhams prime, villipotos prime, Dungeys prime, tomacs prime and outran em all . True fkn stud
He is a great rider no doubt but your right about MC not being in his prime when CR moved to 250 it would have been interesting seeing both go at it.. my money would be on MC
@@caseybrown4021 CR has said MC is who he mimiced his style after. CR was still a fan in MC prime. BTW, two of the most stylish to throw a leg over
In Honduras Central America, we love CHAD REED! GO TWOTWO MOTORSPORTS!!!!
I LOVE IT!! We need more uncut unedited real life real world look into the moto community. SOOO much better than the smile and wave podium style interviews!!
And chad your awesome..u have been a great ambassador for ya family the sport..life model..watched ya since a kid at lakes..wish u the best always..
Mcgrath started the craze in the 1990's after he won in 1993 that really pushed the markets up and helped the next guys. Chad is a class act. Still love watching DAYTONA 2005 RC and Chad on 2 strokes, engines mimicking each other lap after lap until RC ate shit in the whoops!! thanks for the great interview!!
By far the best super cross interview, probably ever. Welcome to the new age. No more over-produced big box productions with 20 minutes of fluff and 5 minutes of content. Thank you Lord for podcasts.
“I grew up loving them” 🤔😂😂😂🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️ i love Chad’s bluntness. You can tell it’s all sincere and none of that calculated bullshit
Could be one of the best interviews I’ve seen in the motocross industry. But I am Australian… And Chads accent doesn’t annoy me anymore. 😂
Always like Chads racing, I remember seeing him at Freestone on the Kawi he was I think on the brink of Epstein bar but still sending it! the only dude jumping threw a slot in the sand wall tripped me out. Then Baggett jumping off the wall huge! great race days but humid hot AF!
Chads a legend one of the best to ever do it Ricky , James ,chad,Windham ,McGrath ,villopotto
X2 bro’s chewing the fat!! Loved the miller podcast keep em coming mate 🤙🏼👍
Music in the background wtf, thought it was my kids upstairs until I paused it, great to hear Chad chilled telling stories..
We ran over time at the studio we rented for this one 🤷🏼♂️😬
@@GYPSYTALES was great anyway top work 👍
Love the content of what was discussed, very cool to hear stories from Chad that are not the normal sit down rapid fire questions, but it gets very hard to listen to when you constantly try and answer for him, plus the F’s and C’s get thrown in far too much, a few F bombs are ok but it felt like you were using the F word like a comma.
Absolute one of the best interviews I ever seen! great fucking job MAN..
Awesome podcast. I think a lot of people in these comments don't know what a podcast really is. Keep doing your thing man I'm loving the content. Hope to see more SX/MX riders on in the future.
I know your pumped dude, but you got to set the discussion up to let the guest tell there story. try not to interrupt
Hey Jase; yes it was fantastic to hear Chad talk for 3 hours and yes you did a great job to get him on! We don't need to be told the difference between a cast and an interview just listen to the cc cas it was constructive and the best interviewers/casters dont need to tell their own stories they just listen.
I love you both... what a legend and great dad to his adorable kids & awesome husband to his lovely wife... And you are such an amazing host and story teller...
Really appreciate the kind words
Thank you, what an in sight to Chad Reed great interview!
Aussie legend! can't wait for 2019 Supercross!!
I think u do a great job bud..fairly unfiltered cool knowledgeable..and your persona makes them comfy and get the good insite on person 👍✌
Love the timing of this release .. Perfect . Cant wait for the next hole shot and ensuing battle to stay on front
I love Chad, met him once as a kid at unadilla.
Love what your doing, you only get better the more you do.
Great interview. Love Chad Reed and his honesty. Good luck in 2019 you have a ton of fans!
First of all to Jase I wanted to say thank you for this incredible podcast. It was one of my favorite that I have ever listened to, with one of the greatest legends our sport will ever see.
Secondly, to all the people bitching about him "interrupting" Chad its just a classic case of keyboard warriors needing something to complain about so that they can feel included. I read the comments and kept waiting for this egregious interruption of Chad which quite literally never came.
This situation was a very delicate balancing act between, superfan girling over Chad, along with trying to keep Chad entertained, along with creating and interjecting meaningful banter/content/context etc to keep the conversation going. If Jase just sat there and let Chad talk about himself without directing or fueling the fire this would've been over in 20 minutes.
Im very thankful for what Jase brought to the table as he is a very knowledgeable and well versed industry insider himself. Not to mention the fact that of all people, if Chad Reed was feeling disrespected he would've had no issue telling the interviewer to fuck off but Chad stayed engaged, laughing and enjoying the entire experience for almost 3 hours. Not just any "jo-blow" nobody with a microphone could've landed this interview, and if they did Chad would have had no interest in some internet fan boy trying to blow his pole the entire time.
Great content, amazing interview. Thankful this one is up keep up the great work.
I should have found this way earlier. Dope epsiode!
Jase just came across this and I really enjoyed the conversation between you and Chad. It was two old Mates just shooting the shit and allowing us to listen. It was different and not so damn sterile, real talk from both of you. As a fan of Chads it was great to hear him provide some insight to his career and life that hasn't necessarily been touched on a million times over. Thanks!!!
A year on and I tell you right now I admire Ken, Eli and Now the Lawrence brothers the same if not more than i admired Reed, Stewart and Carmichael as a kid. The game is so intense and the riders are so fast now.
On a technical level what the guys do now is absolutely incredible and I love watching greatness but there is just something ab the RC/JS7/Reed era. I’m partial bc that’s the era I grew up with but just going back and watching them today, the racing was way more interesting, way more battles and way more riding on the edge. The battles were better, the style was 10000x better and being able to fuck trophy girls on havasu automatically makes it better lmfao
Damn man let the dude talk we are here to listen to chad talk
Too late bro the interview is over and done with lol
@@GYPSYTALES lol I'm just busting balls that's the coolest shit ever to sit and talk to him, I'd probably have done the same thing
Really hope to see Chad podium this season! If it will happen again it will be this year. JGR plus looking fit.
MyMotoLife things are looking good for Chad! But at the same time this is a very familiar song and dance he puts on every season. I’m a huge Reed Fan when I say this... I’m right there rooting for him I just hope things happen for him
Great interview!! Growing up in that era with MC, RC, CR and JS it was really cool hearing these stories!! 👌
Reed. Turned into a Larroco/Windham. That's a compliment. #braaaaaap
Could listen to this all day long, great podcast
Awesome Podcast !
Interesting to hear Chad's comments about how the current 450 crop dosnt do it for fun so to speak, I'd be interested to hear his thoughts on how he sees Jet Lawrance in that respect and how far he can take it, I mean this kid looks like he genuinely loves it. I see the celebrations after he wins and it looks like genuine excitement where as you see the 450 boys and it's like yeah I rode well I'd like to thank my sponsors blah blah blah standard stuff. In my opinion I think this is where Hunter falls down he's just to serious all the time and that pressure reflects in his interviews and his results frustrating to finish second all the time ....... but shit I'd just be stocked to make a qualifier let alone a main event, a perspective check or reality check maybe but it's the same attitude as the Tomics Webs Andersons so serious and lacking real passion.
I was a Yamaha guy because of the 1997 Yamaha team, mainly Yogi and KDub.
Awesome interviews Jase. Your style done your way. Keep' em coming. You and Chad should open a riding academy here in OZ. Food for thought
Keep racing! Such a great guy
Very Best podcast👍. C.Reed - great dirt bike rider 👍👍👍
When Chad won the Supercross series on a yz250 when I was 16 I sold my rm125 and brought a brand new 05 yz250 hahaha Chad is awesome
After listening to pulp mx for years it’s awesome to have an Aussie moto podcast! I really enjoyed it man and thanks. I could however, see and hear how chad was getting pissed with the constant cutting off mid sentence .
Finally! Have been hoping for this podcast for a while now. I really loved it! Amazing mate! Keep up the good work!
I could see this guy doing a podcast interview with himself and still interrupting himself lol
Constructive criticism here... There's been a handful of times that Chad didn't get to finish what he was saying.... And it just went away because you interrupted and then derailed the topic at the time. I'm halfway through the the show. Again, it's constructive. Enjoying your show man 👍
Don't take my comment the wrong way. 👌
Sweet Jesus. I didn't realize this was so old. And I'm commenting. Nevermind lol
I hope and wish reed can go one more years in the sport after 2019 and retire in 2020
Amazing podcast mate just finish the abo one went on to this one
REED/SUZUKI/JGR/#1. Unreal revealing interview! Aussie Legends! RC was the no BS rider and took it from the beer gut Honda BS era. Suzuki was the no BS bike always has been. If we being REAL I wish Reed didn't look up to Honda and Mcgrath so much that was his weakness in my mind never looked better as himself an Aussie underdog most comfortable on Yellow like many other legends regardless of the money. RD, RC, CR, T.P, RD, KR. #1. Haven't forgotten Reed back on Yellow in Perth first time and then one of his greatest seasons (NEXT LEVEL) looking forward to this season!!!
Crazy how much Chad lost his aussi accent being state side for such a long time (normal of course) just interesting to hear 😎👍🏼
Such a great interview, what a great insight. Definitely gives you another side into someone who really loves the sport.
1:25 20 goes blank when Chad talks about the top !!!!!! Censored!!!!
"he should have wrapped that thing up at round 3..." lmao I agree but still made me laugh
Reed 22, My all time hero of Super cross,,,,
Really enjoyed hearing from chad. Was a little bothered by the host tho, felt it was the Most interrupted interview ive listened to. Take a breath and listen instead of comparing everything to you. Although it must have been hard as u being a cr22 superfan. Lol thumbs up mate cheers
Top PODCAST mate! I enjoyed it a lot. Subscribed
Keep doing what your doing brotha joe rogan of Mx and other cool shit 🤙🏼
I love this real talk about the sport. I would love to be in the industry now to influence the attitude of the big action sport companies.
Who are the big action sport companies?
Awesome stuff!
I enjoyed it!
When you struggle and suffer to reach a goal, victory tastes so fucking much better
Dude this channel is 🔥🔥
There's almost too much access into riders lives now days so there's no mystery left like we used to see from all the biggest riders.. before everyone had the internet we used to watch mx and fmx tapes over and over and over until it wore out. The personalities were like mythical creatures you only got a glimpse of on vids
I'm sure theres good and bad to both sides aye
Let chad speak.... interviewer non stop stepped on him.
Your tripping
Reedy i got you down for at least 5 podiums this SX Season
Here comes all the recognition your podcasts deserves bro.
Congrats.Dont sweat the vitards talking shit.They don't know shit.
Cool!!!! 1 year deal... he will prove the naysayers VERY wrong! Reedy in 2019... better than ever! Wisdom and experience counts.
Forgive my ignorance, but who is the dude doing the interview? I have enjoyed all the Gypsy Tales interviews.
He says , an ex aussie motocrosser , film dude who went to America to film and worked with in the industry and spent time with many of the racers
@@blast4music .. what is his name?
Keith Tarrier jase macalpine
Hmm I came here to listen to Chad Reed talk about the sport in his day not you constantly interrupting and blabbing about your own personal experiences. Learn how to listen better
Just watch a different 3 hour podcast with Chad Reed mate.
I feel like this video should be more popular in the motocross community. Fucking enlightening. Thank you.
It's hard for any athlete at the top-level a to come to the realization they are getting old.
reed could be top 10 guy to 50
Ha pretty much huh
@@GYPSYTALES been a fan since he came to the u s solid fucking dude as well
do you reckon chad would do des nation in 2021.
I wish... I think he’s enjoying retirement too much right now haha
Love it! Well done.
Loved it! Keep it up.
Would be cool if you got some mxgp guys on the podcast. Herlings maybe. Marc de reuver would be hilarious
Jase cuts reedy off way to much and just told his own stories. I clicked on this to listen to reedy not him.
ben harman agreed! Go Reed!!!
That's what I was thinking.what a crap interview not to be super rude. Reed didn't seem very excited
ben harman i know it’s crazy he was so rude and douchey but chad being the classy guy he is didn’t get unprofessional with it
2:54:23
It's so cute how he finishes reed's sentences, right?
This didn't age well, as too the rivalry.
Tomac and Sexton is shaping up to be one of the all time greats.
Also in this new era there are a lot more guys in the mix, until 2022, Anderson Tomac in SX and Tomac Sexton out doors you had 5 guys on the same level. Almost throughout our entire sport, the different Era's were dominated by one or two guys.
What Tomac has done in the last couple years saves this era and it may be the best ever. Just because of the depth of the field. This year has been at least as epic as any other period.
Thanks for the "Converview". Chad has truly grown into a great American since he left Australia, and we really dig that here in the USA. Oh well, that is what happens when people move here to achieve their dreams. I am sure he is going to retire from racing soon. Wanna bet he does not move back? Now, constructive criticism:
1) Please don't bad mouth the USA. You don't know much about it, and you won't make many good friends on this side of the pond.
2) F This, F That, F Everything! If we want to hold up some standards, drop the swearing. You don't need it IMO. (that was a compliment).
3) Get your audio under better control. Another vid, I could not hear you. This vid has a bass guitar noise in the background that is too loud on many occasions, and it competes with you guys.
4) Let your guests finish speaking. There are 2 parts to a conversation, (and I am working on this myself), speaking, and listening. I think we as a people are getting bad at the listening part, and probably why we are not as sharp as we could be. (public schools are reverse)
Likes? I dig a 3 plus hour show. I am working in my garage, and love that I know I will fill in 3 hours with quality MX programming. You have a good voice for broadcast. There was nothing boring in this show. It was a great conversation overall.
Well, that is what I see so far. I did enjoy all 3 hours accept for the little parts I mentioned, and I wish you luck and fortune with your channel. In a free society, you never know how far your effort can grow. Amaze yourself. :)
Doug in rural Michigan USA.
Thanks for the feedback mate. Agree with you mostly. I feel like I know a bit about the US though, I spent my whole 20's there.
Doing the same right now mate I love the channel!
dude chads accent is geeting americanized
so is your spelling of Americanised
You have a good podcast with great guests. I can only speak for myself here when I say that you need to let your guests finish their answers to your questions. And you should keep your opinions very short.. I listen to your podcast because I want to hear your guests, but it's 80% jase's opinion and 20% on the guests opinion. And stop saying 'like' so fucken much!! 80% guest- 20% host!
If old mate stopped saying "LIKE" after every word , this podcast would be an hour shorter.
I wish the manufacturers would watch this...
I think because Byrne was affiliated with a ktm satellite team that they basically requested that there was 2 ktm s on the team
Perfect 👌 two dudes talking about interesting shit!
I don’t get these idiots complaining 🤦♂️ there’s plenty of alternatives if you want scripted bullshit!
Keep up the good work mate! Love your shit! 🖤
Ya know?
does reed get confused between the words contents and context or something?
I got 40 seconds in and I was already annoyed with the host.. stfu and let him talk plus noone cares about your stories, let the discussion evolve with letting Chad talk.
Eta- after watching this, I yelled " omg don't interupt and let him talk!!!!" At least 10 times .. too many.
Must have been frustrating for chad, he wanted to expound in alot of subjects but this guy shot him down or finished his sentences for him... which is a huge pet peeve of mine.
Is Chad the interviewer or the interviewee? Just some constructive criticism but when interviewing let them talk. Listen more talk less.
It’s a podcast not an interview.
Because Vic A has a huge podcast with 50k subscribers so let's listen to ol' Vic
I don't think you know what a podcast is.
Like said the sport isnt like it was in these guys hey days. Im from that time and my thoughts are that the 4 stroke has had something to do with it . All these prime time guys they talked about all earned there recognition on two strokes . The smell sound and visually watching them on the two stoke was different. I get it 4 strokes are faster and easier to ride . But like he said nobody gives a shit . Still the greatest sport in the world I raced amateur and rode for 15 yrs during that time and Watching these guys back then made me want to ride = me buying shit from motorcycle shops. Watching the new generation makes me so miss the Jeremy - reed days . Glad I can say I am from the same generation and all those top guys were the shit totally different riding and personality for there self and the sport.
If the 2012 CRF was so good, why not just continue to ride it in 2013, 2014, etc. I've never heard or read any interviews talk about this. If all the testing had been done and the settings were dialed in, can riders just ride an older model year? Is there an AMA rule against that that I'm unaware of?
There is rules against it. From the AMA rule book:
1.1 Homologation of Motorcycles
Only motorcycles homologated by AMA may be used in
competition. AMA will only accept applications for homologation from motorcycle manufacturers or their distributors.
a. Once a motorcycle has been homologated, it may be used until
such time that the homologated motorcycle no longer complies with the technical rules or a maximum of five years.
@@robertstewart899, Ok cool, thanks. It sounds like he would've been able to ride the 2012 up until the 2017 season if he wanted. The 2012 model would've still met tech standards and was still within the allowable five year period from when AMA recognized it as homologated.
@@calebclinton5334 Technically yes. But i don't think Honda would allow it. They probably not too concerned about some guys in the lcq riding a bike thats a bit older but when their top guys are not on the latest equipment its not a good look from a marketing stand point. They want consumers to buy the latest model.
It’s like Reed was interviewing Jase, or at least Jase thought so. Jase is the Adam Corolla of moto; get a guy on that people want to hear from and use that guys star power to draw listeners/viewers so he can tell his own story. Quite frustrating as I’d love to hear Reedy get to finish an answer or story without it being hijacked. I think the term is “askhole” ,if I’m not mistaken, when someone asks a question so they can interrupt/disagree or facilitate their airing of their own opinion on the matter.
3hr podcast with Chad Reed with Chad talking 30 min and the interviewer rambling for 2.5hr
Chad talks for over 2 hours and 15 minutes.
@@GYPSYTALES My bad, listening to you must just feel longer.
I really like this show and this interview but JM interrupts Chad's almost in every answer, that was kinda annoying.... no offense
hated that gen 3 Honda too. Loyal to honda but that bike was dog water.
So yeah, Chad Reed doesn't need you to finish every sentence for him. Also, he knows you are there, we know you are there...less "yeah" and grunts would make for a better show also.
They got to talking on money and it's not like it was.... I truly believe mma took alot of this money and fans. I still thought these guys received a good pay check. Majority of people still do it for the love. Let they said, even for a privateer, it doesn't make sense to do it. It's for the love.
I like you but there is no way you sell more bikes than roczen
Dungey and bubba with Nike moto boots. Wonder what they were getting?
