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

Ricky was so humble the entire sit down. Respect.

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

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.

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!!

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.

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.

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

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!!

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!

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

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 🔥

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.

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 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!!!!

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.

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

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!

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

By far the best bubbas world podcast to date!

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

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!

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!

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 .

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!

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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!

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

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!

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!!!

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. 🤜🤛

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

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

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! 🙏❤️💪🇺🇸😁

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.

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 👌🏼

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.

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.

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!!!!

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

That was so great! Talking about the battles and the corners they remembered every little detail! Such a great time fun interview! Thanks guys

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.

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!!

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

Growing up and watching these guys go head to head was the reason I started racing dirt bikes. So awesome to see these two swap stories about these iconic battles!

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

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???

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!!

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.

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.

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 !!

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

It’s so good to see these two together chatting it up. 👍🏾👏🏾

That was AMAZING!! Thank you! That was and forever will be my most favorite time in the sport. Just the best. You guys gotta get Chad and RC on at the same time! Hell I almost teared up at the end. Just epic.

These guys brought Soo much to the sport

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

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

Something that occured to me while watching this awesome conversation - you cant be competitive (mental attitude) with someone you don't respect. To be competitive with someone that has to be a significant level of respect. I'm grateful we get to see these guys hang out together relax.

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

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)

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….

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.

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

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

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

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

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 .

King of Supercross vs King of Motocross

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.

You guys had to step up on the fly so many races... and you both did! Quite amazing the show you both put on!!! Thanks for all those years of racing for us and Merry Christmas! Legends✌😎

71-76 caprice or impala is the OG donk

This is the best thing I've ever watched! Thank you for this early Christmas present. This hit me hard and I'm still in amazement. Will be rewatching throughout the holidays. Merry Christmas Ricky and James and shout-out from Panama City FL!!!

Absolute gold!! Listening to these two laughing and picking at each other they instantly turned into 15 yr olds right before our eyes!! Good to hear the background on some of the darker days…..hatchets buried. We were so lucky to watch these two compete. Total legends!! 👍🏻🇺🇸

I truly appreciate this one..well worth the wait!

I absolutely loved the respect between RC and James. They always raced each other super clean and was just a absolute joy to watch yall race..thank yall for all the amazing memories

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!

Thank you guys, this Conversation needed to happen!!!!!

This is amazing to hear you guys reminisce about all the battles you had. It's crazy how you all remember so many fine details of these races despite it being so many years ago.

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

Thank you Bubba and Ricky, this is priceless to those of us who watched all those years. I appreciate how sincere you both are and the respect you both have always shown to each other! You both have elevated our sport, have been, and still are, great role models for current and upcoming racers. I hope to continue seeing both of you, being an active part of our sport for years to come, and continue to share your stories with us! You both have given this sport so much! THANK YOU!!!

So glad to find your KZfaq today. Thanks for being here!!!

I enjoyed this podcast more than anything I have watched in a long time. This was great to hear these two and how much they respect each other.

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

Thank you guys. I've been watching moto x since 1978 and I say honestly that the intensity and integrity that you two brought to the game is the pinnacle of the sport for me. I got to shoot a SX race in Vancouver in Ricky's final full season where James won and it absolutely blew my mind to witness it at track level. Thanks again for sharing your honest insights and reliving those races with us fans. Maximum respect.

I have to say this was by far my favorite episode yet. Just to listen to this conversation was an honor.

THIS is the greatest pod EVER! thank both of you for making my childhood so bad ass! watching yall was something i will never forget!
