0:21.7

Yeah, finally we got a lot to talk about.

0:23.9

And then starting next week's show, we can talk about real, real racing.

0:28.2

Although my co-host might tell you that the World Supercross is real racing.

0:32.5

And since it ended, there's never been any more real racing until WSX starts again.

But that's another story for another day.

Troyleydesigns.com. Love these guys. Great mountain bike stuff. And also the Moto stuff, of course. Justin Barsha, Dylan Ferrandis, run in Troy Lee designs. Great company started 1981 with visors. And Troy Lee used to get the visors and bend them in his mom's oven. And then that advanced that cool arrow two, which right above my head, you can see, that's an arrow two visor from back on the day. And then Troy expanded into helmets and mountain bike stuff and gear and all of that. Shout out Ernie, who I think was Troy Lee's first paid athlete, Ernesto Fonseca, great rider. email us using the contact form on PulamX, and we will give you a code to save with troiladdesigns.com, and yeah, use the code and save. Thank you, people. If people don't use the code more, we're not going to be able to pay the fraud any money. So please use the code. Thank you for that. RaceTech, Racetech.com. Love those guys, checkers, and everybody there doing big things. Their suspension and motor seminars are wrapped up, but stay tuned in the fall for more of that. Vintage stuff, modern stuff, motor suspension work, all of it. Tell them you listen to the pulp to get a deal on that. Parts as well, they'll save you with parts for your suspension. So it's a go-to place for seals and springs. If you are a race tech authorized service center, yeah, you know the power of race tech, man. So thank you to those guys. Zules, seat concepts, firepower, Maxis, ASV-Levers, StompGrip, all on board with us as well for this 2026 season. Thank you again to those guys and our partners. Use the codes. Like Pulp 26 saves you with Zools, saves you with seat concepts. ASV levers code Pulp MX saves you with those guys. Use

codes and save. Thank you. Appreciate it. That's my rant for 2026, Daniel Blair, Steve Mathis,

2:14.7

Project Show. And yeah, I'm Steve Mathis with me to talk about

2:18.2

Anaheim and more. Got some categories to break down the Daniel Blair. What's up, D.B.

2:23.1

What's up, Steve? Yeah, it's on, man. A1 week. It's one of the cooler weeks. Obviously, I think

2:30.2

the coolest week of the year for all Moto people. And it just gets real now all of a sudden. I think that the month of December is that weird one because you have the holidays, everyone's riding and shredding. You're starting to get videos, your hearing thing, whatever. But all of a sudden, Anaheim one week feels super real. And you're starting to look at your travel. Like, I don't know. What are you going? Like Thursday, Friday?

3:09.6

I mean, it just, it turns from like all these hypotheticals to a clock and a countdown. And here we go. And Saturday night, it's, it's on. I think we're going to be in it this year for a lot of fun to a good season. I think we're going to get juice every week. I think last year was wild. So, yeah, it's just that amped up final week of, I guess, prep and talking and yapping before we drop a gate and we get this thing on.

3:14.4

Yeah, yeah, Daniel, it all starts here. By the way, before we get too far into this,

3:19.1

let's welcome the fraud, Kellen Brower in. Intense negotiations, He was going to leave for another show, decided to stay

3:25.7

with us for 2026. It was late today for the first one. So Daniel, he might be doing some sort of power

moves. I don't know exactly, but welcome to the fraud. Yeah, bad negotiating, Kellan, bad move.

3:37.7

Yeah, I really messed this up. I fumbled bad. I happened to be here before Steve today, but I was still late. It's just all falling apart, you know. That's a great point. All right. Hey, let's get into this a little bit. Yeah, Anaheim, it's exciting. Like, and look, Jet getting hurt is bad, bad, bad, but also good, good, good. You know, he was the heavy favorite. We're going to see some great racing this year. We got Tomak fans and Sexton fans and Webb fans. I think anybody with a brain would put those three in some order for this championship, and they are pretty damn close. There's a chance, though, DB. There's a chance.
