It’s literally impossible to state what this means to 2000’s moto heads…that 2.5 hours felt like 15 minutes. THANK YOU RC AND BUBBA!!! Y’all just made my entire 2023 and it hasn’t even started yet. Wow. Just wow. GOATS 1a and 1b…can’t argue that.

2 dudes who were so competitive, it took 10~ish years of retirement for that competitive fire to finally die down enough for a conversation like this to happen. Love it

This is probably the single most important conversation to have ever been filmed in the history of motocross. To call this video iconic would be an understatement. Thank you both SO much for this episode, not only the best riders to ever do it but literally 2 of the coolest humans as well. Truly, there will never again be legends like James & Ricky

“I wanted you to win more than chad” Ricky said “same” without even thinking. Best pod on KZfaq rn

If you were fortunate enough to follow these two careers, as they went down as a superfan of the sport, you're so lucky again to watch this video. This video should be archived in the motocross hisotrical archives forever. The lessons learned are incredible. Just goes to show, doesn't matter how good you are, when faced with someone who's close to your speed and competition is introduced, most people fill their heads with self-doubt and fear. Both these badasses could not believe the other feared them or thought they weren't as good....this is gold.

THAT was an all-timer. RC's compliment at the end had ME choked up

The last minute was the best when you saw the live that they have for each other. RC was speaking the truth about how James has carried and provided not only for himself but his entire family future. What most don’t realize is that if James didn’t succeed his parents would have went bankrupt and their story would be different. That is the pressure that young man had on him. Thank you James and Ricky for the memories!!

Ricky was so humble the entire sit down. Respect.

I legitimately feel sorry for fans of the sport watching modern supercross and motocross. These guys (including Travis) were the only superheros I needed growing up.

This was the best thing I've probably ever watched and for so many different reasons. You two and the Reed days were absolutely amazing. I love that you guys are all getting along after all the battles and drama you've been through. You're all legends for different reasons.

This is the kinda shit I'm here for. The battles, blood sweat and tears these two went through that I got to watch while growing up was awesome. Now im older and a father to its beyond awesome to watch RC and bubba talk and see how they both feared and respected each other while racing. I think the world needs more dirt bike riders!

Best podcast I've ever watched. You guys could literally do this one a month and we will watch.

This is incredible, so thankful for this amazing insight into the best period of racing I ever saw. These two guys elevated our sport to a whole new level, thank you both so much for the amazing memories 🔥

I’m laying in bed with a jacked back, this is the best pod cast that could of ever happened! Thank you the fastest man on the planet and the goat! That was awesome!!

Honestly i cant get much better than this, perhaps if Chad was at the table aswell. But honestly i almost get emotional because that was my highschool era and the sport that gave me so much, and back in those days we had to wait to download the races to see them afterwards because overseas we did not have the same chanels, so we had to stay away from vital and transworld to not get the results (most of the time) we could watch the race one day after, than read the magazines. By this time now all these years later i think both Carmichael / Stew and Reed knows how much impact they had on thousands of fans worldwide, the sport was at its peak and for me personaly it helped me through some rough years. IT is so great to listen to the best the sport ever had and will have, call me biased but i dont see it the sport ever be the same again as it was in the 90´s and early 2000´s. Thanks for this Bubba.

I am 53 yrs old and have seen a lot of racing in my day, but this era with you three racing in 05,06,07 was my favorite hands down. Thank You!!!!

Bringing these two together is one of the most important events in motocross history honestly. This brings me such an insane amount of joy after watching these two battle for so long. This brings my childhood and adulthood so much joy. Very well done!

Two massive parts of my childhood and adolescence sitting at the same table having amazing conversations. I love this so, so much. James, Ricky, thank you.

Holy shit fellas, I apologize for cussing on this one but man this is legendary. As a kid watching this unfold & still here for the sport, it’s an unexplainable moment. Like RC said, TP with you two to reunite can’t be topped!!! Keep it in mind James 😅 Love to you all, thank you for this. It’s so much more appreciated than you know 👊🏻❤️

I have been waiting for this for about 12 years! My two heroes from my childhood are absolutely epic.

man...this sit down between two legends is a dream come true for me. I was a teenager watching these two put together the greatest era of sx/mx in history (IMO). These conversations were what I always thought each rider was thinking during those days. It feels unreal watching them finally come together to discuss some of the greatest battles I've ever witnessed, and hope to witness again someday.

What an amazing conversation. There's so much posturing and chest beating in the day when you have to play the mind games. But now, it's so awesome just to hear the real feelings and commentary about what was going on. Thank you guys so much for sharing these incredible moments with us. Priceless.

Add Chad and you have the greatest SX podcast of all time, never to be beaten

When Ricky said, when he retired, he felt like it took something out of James. I’ve said that for years. Like it killed james’ motivation or drive to beat the older big brother.

watching these two my entire life... now listening to them talk about being parents. man did this hit hard. time does fly by.

I’m an Australian and watching you three race so hard with so much passion made your time racing so good that it’s legendary stuff today .

What a trip down memory lane. I was an aussie kid cheering on the Chad but I lived for the weekend to watch the 3 of you go at it. Props to Ricky for being so humble and honest and giving credit where it’s due. Loved every minute of it

I love how detailed their memories are. You can even hear it in their voices about losses that still eat at them. Absolutely love listening to guys who are this competitive share their POV

We might not ever see racing like these two gave us ever again. I still re-watch old races and get just as anxious now as I did then. Freaking love it!

Awesome !!! Two best humans to ever throw a leg over a motorcycle !!!!!!

This was just as good as watching these 2 battle on the track. This episode is the best moto show on YT, hands down.

Been waiting on this conversation for YEARS... the GOAT and the Fastest Man on the Planet! Thank you both!

Best one yet. Ricky's words at the end show what kind of man he is. Awesome, loved this and hearing their respect for each other.

Dude, two of the greatest athletes in the history of the world. So grateful for this.

now we need all three james chad and ricky, that should be a very long but legendary podcast

You two don't know how much this means when you share actual emotions. We all put you on a super human pedestal and assumed you were just perfect. Respect.

The Greatest Bubba’s World so far! Two of the Best to ever race motorcycles and I am so thankful to have lived to see it. Class Acts for sure, both of you guys have been inspirational to so many over the years. Kids On The Couch 2 will Kill, the ratings will be Epic and that episode will be another one for The Vault!

I’m 40 and watched every race there talking about, you guys just made my day, love the honesty and in-depth thoughts. Thank you!

By far the best bubbas world podcast to date!

One for the books. James, if you read these, just want to say thanks for everything you put into racing and everything you sacrificed. We're the same age, and as a rider there was no one more exciting to watch. Me and my friends were always rooting for you. You might as well of had an S badge on your chest because there was always this feeling that you could have done the impossible, because a lot of times you did. Championships are just one measure, there's a lot of champs out there, but there's only one Bubba and you changed the sport in a way that very few have. Great competitors bring the best out of each other, you and RC put on a hell of a show. Its incredible to see you guys have this conversation, and grateful for all that you both have given the sport.

First time in a while I actually sat through an entire 2 hour podcast

My face is literally hurting from smiling so hard from watching this. Seeing these 2 together is just awesome! Thank you for getting this done!!!

Literally my childhood hero’s sittin down chattin. Definitely the dudes that got me to love dirt bikes. Dream come true podcast. Please keep doing these!

That was the best video I have ever watched on KZfaq. I love this podcast. James and Ricky are like no other. LEGENDS FOREVER

This is such an awesome and enlightening discussion about all kinds of stuff that we, just fans, were never privy to. Pretty cool knowing that these guys raced as KIDS and hung around and were friends all these years. Outstanding episode, guys. 🤜🤛

This one of the greatest interviews I've ever watched involving motocross. Two of the fastest guys on the planet that revolutionized the sport to what it is now. I really Hope you interview Chad and TP as well!!!!

OMG!!! This is by far the best moto podcast I've ever heard! This is the conversation that us hard core moto fans have been watching 15 years for. PLEASE do a part 2! We could listen to this for 6 hours.

This means the world to me seeing these two on a podcast together. My childhood and my shaping years that molded me into the person I am today happened when these two were racing at the same time I was racing. Easily the best time to be a part of the sport. Will always appreciate my dad for introducing me to the sport at a very young age and pushing me as hard as he did to show me what I was/am capable of at times of adversity. RIP dad I love you.

The memory’s of you and Ricky from mini’s to professional racing are implanted in so many people’s lives, your dedication to being the best has changed our sport FOREVER! Thank you for bringing us down memory lane! We love you you’ve become the men our kids can strive become on and off the track! GOD BLESS YOU! 🙏❤️💪🇺🇸😁

RC pumped JS the whole interview. He’s definitely an encourager. Lots of good memories, thanks for hosting it Bubba. Btw, your hosting skill are top notch 👌🏼

Two of the most pure hearted people in racing. This was a great interview. I’m honored that my 2 sons and I were able to see these 2 race at Washougal during those golden years. By the way, James I’d like to say thanks again for signing a pair of your goggles for my son between races at the 06 Washougal race. We still have them today.

This was the best moto podcast episode I’ve ever listened to. And I’ve listened to A LOT.

Not even half way in and this is so amazing. I always wanted to hear these two look back on these races. Just amazing.

I grew up watching motocross in the era of DeCoster, Lackey, Mikkola, Hannah, Marty Smith, DiStefano etc. I got to see those legends race in person as a teenager. 50 years a fan of MX & SX. McGrath is the King of SX. These two men right here are the gold standard of American Motocross. Game changers!! I loved watching you two race and I love what you both have done for the greatest sport ever created. This conversation is a pure pleasure to witness. The fire between you both was nuclear! Two badasses that became great men. Thank you for taking the time do share this & when do you get together again? I would love to hear about the perfect seasons and MXoN stories! You guys ROCK!!

Can't wait for kids on the couch. The Moto world rarely talks about that moment but it's always been one that stood out in my mind that the three of you were all revolutionary game changers. Ricky brought a new level of focus and intensity in prepping for racing, James you brought an entirely new style of riding that everybody does now, and of course you were the first prominent African-American Motocross rider in the United States and you dominated. I've often said you are to Motocross as a black man what Eminem is to rap as a white man. And Travis changed everything helped create a brand new sport and made himself a worldwide celebrity still going strong today. So grateful that I got to be fans of and watch all three of you do your thing. I'm still a fan too.

I was a huge Bob Hannah fan, shows how old I am. Then JS7 became my fav. athlete ever! RC and Chad, I didn’t like but you had to respect RC’s abilities! I saw them race TO 2005, RC said on the podium, “he was toying with me”, exactly like he said on the broadcast. Made my week.

Great to see these 2 guys talking.......get Chad on and you get the HAT TRICK.................... Merry Christmas to all.!!!!!!!!!!!

what amazes me is how these guys recall every race!?!? do they have help? because i didn't get to race nearly the years they did and i have trouble remembering every single detail of every race!!! lol. but I LOVED watching every second of you guys' battles!!

I’m 15 mins into this and I had to stop and rewind it because this is the greatest conversation Ive ever had the privilege of listening to! Kids today just can’t comprehend the level these two guys were on! This is like Jordan and Kobe, Ali and Tyson, Brady and manning! Rog over there on the left is literally the luckiest person ever! I hope every kid that’s into racing watches this and takes as much as they can from it. This is what perfection is! I love this so much….

I think it’s awesome 15 years later they both still remember each corner they were battling and what their mind set was. They both have crazy respect for each other! This is what racing is all about.

This is absolute motocross gold. I've watched you whole carriers from start to finish , every race every interview. I could never get bored of this. Great to hear the Insights from both of your sides. Its really interesting hearing what you each did to beat the other. I live the detail and all the intricacies. You both chnaged the games completely. No era had lived up to what you 2 and Chad did . I'm glad to be witness to it from uk. Definitely have to recreate the kids on the couch that would be epic!! The only thing RC knows is where the gas and the water goes 🤣. And what happened to dede burns !!

I waited years for this. Simply awesome. Two of the best.

Probably my favorite pod cast of all time. These 2 where my whole childhood / early adult life. These guys were so good and so much better. They def changed the sport

This was such an amazing podcast. It’s exactly why Ricky and Bubba are the GOATs. PS: James, we rode together at Bithlow in Orlando in probably ~2004? I have a photo of us in a turn. It’s hilarious because we both were wearing exactly the same gear minus the helmet (and bike lol). You came with another guy and he was riding one of your bikes. I think you were driving a Silverado. I really appreciate how nice you were to me. I was a young kid and I looked up to you both.

What a podcast! Such a pleasure to hear these two talk about things I grew up watching. Maybe in the future there could be a podcast with the 3 guys of that era; Ricky, James, and Chad???

You can’t write this shit… what a story these two have shared. Just epic! Can’t wait for kids on the couch 🤙🏼

Ricky is the GOAT because of how humble he is. He knows he doesn't need to say anything. And I think its cool to see Stewart get some validity for how fast he was even when he didn't cash in as much as he could have.

Amazing. Just amazing.

Thank you guys, this was a great Christmas present! Thanks Cole

That was the best Christmas present ever , Awesome show , Cool to see two of the most talented riders reminisce about old times, That the best thing about our sport, The memories, especially with two icons of the sport , Man this was priceless, Thank you guys again .

Gosh this means the world to so many of us. Thank you guys.

That has to be one of the best podcasts I’ve ever listen to. You guys were so amazing for the sport and it’s really fun listening to your stories. I hope that you do more like this in the future.

What's so fascinating is you have not arguably but the fastest SX rider of all time and the fastest MX rider of all time in the same room talking about the best riding indoors and Outdoors in the history of the sport. JS races a long time so the new generations know how talented he really was. But they dont realize why RC is called the goat. Amazing to finally get this. And RC is just so humble even after knowing he had JS covered outdoors and humble enough to admit JS greatness in doors and the same for Stewart, I love it

Peace be with you James😌 SUPER GREAT!!! Amazing interview/conversation. Merry Christmas!

What a treat these two...laughing and enjoying the old times... Pricessless and respect between two legends

I was flagging that San Francisco Mud fest , I couldn’t believe the speed the both of you had in that down pour. I remember flagging in the whoops section and in the main event pouring rain and Chad goes down almost right in front of me he was so muddy and frikin pissed . Definitely Not ideal race conditions but you guys were still ripping on the track . Thank the both of you and Chad when you guys came to race in NorCal awesome time and thanks for the memories!

These guys brought Soo much to the sport

If you two guys want to break the internet. Do Play Riding day at James Stewart's house and film it

Thanks so much for the best racing ever and the best ridding most entertaining battles in history . . 🍾

This is Literally the first podcast I’ve ever watched the whole thing. Watching used to race through the years was the best time for Moto in my opinion. Also, growing up in Annapolis and racing with Travis when we were kids is something I’ll always remember. Can’t wait to see kids on the couch, I think that takes us back to the best time for most of us

Only pic that competes with a young *RC Bubba & Pastrana* on the couch. Is *2006 Phoenix* with *4* greats on the Podium *RC* (1st) *Bubba* (2nd) *CR* (3rd) & *MC* (Holeshot) award but finished (4th)

From 2001 through 2022 every Supercross champion had been part of the baker training program except for Reed & Eli. So with 2 championships each means 17 out of 21 were

I've been waiting for this for over 10 years. Super stoked

These two NEED to be in the booth! Comical, technical and good old fashioned fun!

King of Supercross vs King of Motocross

71-76 caprice or impala is the OG donk

This was maybe the best Moto podcast I’ve ever listened to. Epic stories!

Thanks from all us mx addicts. Pure gold. James you have jumped in where you left off, bloody legend and a game changer, no other podcast has what you have, and thats you

I must say I like RC more now after hearing him speak with Bubba. I’m still upset he left Kawi after the 01 season though, and I can’t get over that.

This is why I absolutely love SX! I went to my first SX as a kid in the 70’s and I’ve been hooked ever since! Spent lots of time at the LA Coliseum, Rose Bowl, and of course Angels stadium. I never miss going to A-1 and have been going for decades. Seeing RC and James battle was some of the best racing I’ve ever witnessed! James was insanely fast in SX and RC was the outdoor master! Glen Helen was one race I’ll never forget! Those two had battles both motos! To listen to two of the greatest riders sit back and reminisce about their old racing days! In 2005 when James moved up and challenged RC showed us some of the best racing ever! Would be cool if Reed was at the table as well. So much respect between those two on the track, and they didn’t like each other back then but the respect was there! I hope they do a part 2-3-4-5 I could listen to the two of them for hours and hours about racing! Thank you James for this! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

I feel like all my time growing up watching you guys race is now complete. Best thing I've seen in a very long time. THANK YOU.

I cant belive i was just Young enough and old enough to understand and apreciate these 2 undisputed Goat's riding dirt bikes... One pused the other ....always ... Thank you for those memóries... Thank you for that 'feeling' we get every time get on a dirt bike... Wanting to be RC4 or JS7... Those were the days...

Bro this is awesome you guys inspired me as a kid and I was on my way to making a career of racing but I got cracked with a tire iron at my part time job in an attempted robbery. Ended it. I’m 35 now and got a 450 class 3rd place with my brother taking 1st in military class and 4th in 250 class. Jesus Christ has really blessed me. It was fantastic meeting you guys years ago in 05 and 06. Travis was here in Martin Kentucky testing his Subaru a few weeks ago. Life’s wild man. God bless you guys and your families.

Best era of Moto ever nothing will ever compare

I'm watching this when I get home, ASAP! The internet is about to break with this episode!

Podcast of the year …Thankyou James and crew doing that’s made my Christmas 💪🏻🤘🏼

Favorite race ever, Redbud,you two put on a show I couldn't imagine how anyone could go faster on a bike,when Stewert snagged that haybale I hurt for him,the crowd cheered and as an amateur racer I personally didn't get it,I stood in silence, Ricky is the GOAT for sure,so glad James was there to push each other!

Best podcast up to date! Much respect to both, especially the part when you said Ricky yourself and Travis change the sport, in diff ways. I’ve been saying that for years. Now every determined racer follows suit. 💯 I’m so thankful to watch you folks do it live!

You two have a lot of history together. The both of you have alot of respect, and love for each other. And that's what sports needs. You guy raced the cleanest of any two competitors, in the history of moto.

Fantastic. Thank you very much ✌️👌😎👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
