About the show
There have never been three more sophisticated, informed, or serious MotoGP commentators than those screaming bastards on Italian TV. Or those stuttering Pom pumpernickels who keep saying “penultimate” because its fancier than “second-last”. They’re pretty good at this MotoGP commentary stuff. And there’s a few Spanish commentators who are the top of their game.
We’re not them.

Moto PG Ep 084: The Man, The Myth, The Legend...The Ax
December 13th, 2022 | 36 mins 45 secs
There's a few words we throw around too freely in sport. Penultimate is one but legend is another. Genuine legends are few and far between but nobody in Australian motorcycle racing would dispute the fact that Wayne Maxwell is one of them. He's officially pulled the pin on his career but as you'll find out on this episode he's still got plenty to contribute.

Moto PG Ep 083: The Summer Sessions and FREE BEER!
December 6th, 2022 | 54 mins 52 secs
Just because there's no racing doesn't mean there's no Moto PG. Boris, Tug and Freido are nothing if not innovative so to keep you all entertained during the off season they came up with the brilliant idea of the Summer Sessions where they will interview guests, organise giveaways and try to dream up new ways of squeezing more money out of this hot mess. There will be poems, profanity and plenty of childish humour but to make sure you all listen there is also free beer. Yes, you read that right - FREE BEER. How, you ask? Well it's thanks to MASH Brewing but you'll just have to tune in to find out more (and don't pretend you weren't expecting that).

Moto PG Ep 082: Boris Of The Overflow
November 9th, 2022 | 1 hr 46 mins
Our intrepid trio aren't the types to look back. Lord knows, the carnage they would see if they did might just make them stop and think and stopping and thinking are NOT among their strengths. But the season is over and so there must be harsh judgement made with the benefit of hindsight and this is very much in their wheelhouse. Boris has a poem (that doesn't miss anyone) and The Captain, Rossi and George all weigh in with end of season thoughts. Freido has joined Twitter (and people think Elon Musk is the one who will ruin it), Tug has some predictions for 2023 and a plan has been hatched for a MotoPG Christmas party (the word 'plan' is doing A LOT of work here). So hit the play button and find out why four out of five people agree this is the Greatest Motorcycling Podcast On Earth.

Moto PG Ep 081: Like A Beaver Full Of Cheese
October 26th, 2022 | 1 hr 24 mins
'The art of rhythmical composition, written or spoken, for exciting pleasure by beautiful, imaginative, or elevated thoughts.' None of these words from dictionary.com's definition of poetry relate in any way to what Boris delivers each episode. For that, you would need to add terms like tawdry, profane, puerile, defamatory and NSFW. Oh, and entertaining. As this week's effort - 'The Hot Girl Yogurt' - proves. It is as offensive as the title suggests and yet, somehow, the giant mad bastard makes it work. There's other stuff in this episode, too, but really, it's the poem that steals the show. Again. Get it in your ears, people. It won't make you a better person but it will make you laugh and ultimately, that's all we can really hope for isn't it?

Moto PG Ep 080: A Dingo Ate My Baby!
October 20th, 2022 | 1 hr 36 mins
Boris might be an imposing figure of a man but when it comes to motorcycles and the men who race them he much more resembles a 12-year-old girl at a boy band concert. And it's a beautiful thing. Fresh back from Phillip Island where the cult of Moto PG came into the light (with everyone from riders to officials pledging their love for the Greatest Motorcycling Podcast on Earth) Boris has news. And a poem. And a letter from George. And there is racing to talk about, too. Some of the best racing ever seen. Freido does an Australian accent and Tug tries to keep the whole thing on track. Of course, it's a disaster and a shambles. And glorious. And it's ready for you to liste. What are you waiting for?

Moto PG Ep 079: The Birth of F*#ky Boy
October 5th, 2022 | 1 hr 39 mins
You'd think three talentless bums who lucked their way into a successful podcast thanks to some extraordinary (and ongoing) work behind the scenes would be grateful for the help, wouldn't you? Especially when the figure of their fun is the person who writes the show notes? And yet here we are. But enough about the internal squabbling that is integral to what makes this the Greatest Motorcycling Podcast In The World. This week Simmo is back in the studio because apparently three listeners didn't hate him, Tug is back from Japan and busy not fixing his girlfriend's bike and Boris and Freido are...well...Boris and Freido. If you're new, welcome. If you're a regular, welcome back. But no matter which you are, hit the play button now.

Moto PG Ep 078: We're Like Godzilla With A Big Lizard Erection
September 28th, 2022 | 1 hr 20 mins
Tug is phoning it in this week (in every imaginable way) but it hasn't effected the quality of analysis at all, as you can probably tell from the title. None of that matters this week, though, because Jack Miller is a winner again and when that happens, 'the world seems a happier place', as Boris notes. That's just one inane observation among many as the boys break down happenings at Motegi, George's letter, Rossi's thoughts for the week and Borrie's poem plus some special announcements and heaps more on the Greatest Motorcycling Podcast In The World. Get it in your ears now.

Moto PG Ep 077: He Smells Of The Street
September 21st, 2022 | 1 hr 36 mins
Who could possibly be interested in three reprobates with microphones talking about a 'sport' that more resembles a soap opera for grown men than any serious competitive endeavour? Surely there isn't a market for that sort of thing? Well, dear listener, it turns out there is and this podcast is the proof. It's childish, it's politically incorrect, it's puerile and offensive. And thanks to you, it's popular. Regulars will know what Borrie's poem, George's letter, Rossi's email and Ropes and Shovels means. Newbies won't, but press the play button and you'll find out. Go on. We're waiting.

Moto PG Ep 076: Freido's Unstable erection
September 7th, 2022 | 1 hr 46 mins
Freido is in Misano with an unstable erection but he managed to get through most of the show before being prematurely ejected. Don't let the dodgy tech put you off, though, because Boris and Tug are in studio with a special guest (no, not Mat Mladin) and Ep 76 ticks all the usual boxes. Borrie's Poem is a highlight (of course) and George's letter might be his best yet plus there's a bonus 'Why Are You Too Tight To Be A Patreon Pit Crew Member' abusive phone call to listen in on. You just don't get this sort of politically incorrect, uninformed and nonsensical coverage of motorcycles and motorcycle racing anywhere else on then internet. So stop wasting your time (and ours) and get into it. Now.

Moto PG Ep 075: The Betsy Approach
August 24th, 2022 | 1 hr 44 mins
Sometimes it's difficult to know what to write in this space. How is one supposed to summarise, in a few sentences, a 'show' that more resembles a children's birthday party with drugs introduced than any sort of adult conversation? If you're a first time listener all we can do is apologise. For the rest of you, you know what you've signed up for. Highlights this episode include: Borrie's boxing tips for special guest Lachlan Epis. (Did we mention we had a special guest? Well we do. It's ASBK rider Lachlan Epis); Borrie's poem; Borries porn talk; George's letter; Rossi's letter; Tugs driving the equipment since Rod wasn't in the studio. Sure it sounds like a catastrophe waiting to happen and it was. But secretly, that's why you love it. So get on with it.

Moto PG Ep 074: What is a Harbour Whore?
August 11th, 2022 | 1 hr 25 mins
It's like riding a bike, really. Sure, the summer break is too long and too boring (though Borrie has an idea for how to fix that) but it's as though the boys never left the mics. Episode 74 is just as childish and offensive as the 73 that came before it despite a six week break from actual racing. Inside you'll find all the ingredients that make Moto PG the greatest motorcycling podcast on earth including Borrie's poem, Rossi's letter, George's email, We Told You So and more. They're like KFC's eleven secret herbs and spices...except there's not eleven of them, obviously, and they're not herbs and spices. But you get the idea. Anyway, this isn't a written medium so press play and get it in your ears. It's the best decision you'll make today.

Moto PG Ep 073: Jack's Bucks Party
August 6th, 2022 | 1 hr 24 mins
About the only thing this bucks party didn't have was the buck himself (though those in attendance got the next best thing...an interview with his family!). Free food, free beer, strippers and talk about motorcycles...what more could any man want (aside form a huge pile of money and an even bigger pile of supermodels?) If you didn't take the necessary steps to attend Jack Miller's Bucks party ask yourself some very direct and very serious questions about your life choices because you are clearly doing it wrong. If you were there, enjoy reliving what was a brilliant night's entertainment while at the same time making sure to rub it in the face of anyone you know who didn't go.

Moto PG Ep 072: The Bonus Episode!
July 4th, 2022 | 3 mins 31 secs
ANOTHER Moto PG? But you've barely had time to digest the last one? Stop panicking bitches, this one's a special announcement. It's not like the usual infantile, puerile, childish, hour-long plus diatribe normally served up on this channel. This one is only a few minutes long. Sure, it's all those other things as well but just in a tighter package. So press the play button and find out what it is that Boris, Tug and Freido are trying to sell you this week. It might even be worth it!

Moto PG Ep 071: 'You get the broom and push the Choomlah...
June 30th, 2022 | 1 hr 46 mins
As Jerry was to George and Elaine in Seinfeld, so Freido is to Boris and Tug on Moto PG. He is the glue that bonds the whole thing together. His presence elevates the entire operation, lifting it to a product that exceeds the sum of its parts. As much as they missed the little fella last week they're equally happy to have him back for episode 71 and he doesn't disappoint. Like Santa, Freido comes bearing gifts of gossip and news from the paddock, some of which he even shares on the show (though the good stuff is in the Patreon only episode). Speaking of Patreon, sign up today and get your tickets for Jack Miller's Bucks Party on July 30. Patreon peoples get a member discount and they won't be available to the public until next week so if you want to guarantee a spot, head to the website now. But press play first.

Moto PG Ep 070: 'He slapped him like a cheating wife...'
June 23rd, 2022 | 1 hr 24 mins
When the racing is boring (like it was on Sunday) you'd probably think the podcast will be uninteresting, too. But that would be ridiculous because the greatest motorcycling podcast on earth isn't so much MotoGP news as MotoGP Neighbours. Sure, there are men riding motorcycles at stupid fast speeds but the truth is it's just a giant soap opera for grown men. And we at Moto PG are totally here for it. This week Freido is on the ground in Assen (international incident to come, no doubt), Borrie has his rhyme on and Tug is directing traffic like the Munted One captaining the Aprilia ship. But don't take our word for it, hit the play button and get it in your ears now. It's better than whatever else you were thinking of doing (unless you were planning on doing a super model in which case the pod will still be here when you finish).

Moto PG Ep 069: 'This Sh!t Writes Itself'
June 8th, 2022 | 1 hr 34 mins
Usually in life we celebrate the high achievers. The ones who do the things we ourselves could not. Think Federer, Woods, Rossi and - yes - even Marquez. But every now and then the Lord gifts us an individual so glorious in their stupidity, so munted in their lack of ability, so genuinely and universally unlikeable that we must stop. And reflect. And then applaud and cheer the staggering lack of talent and self awareness, and revel in their failures. In our midst, in 2022, such a character exists but we shall not speak his name because, as Tug so eloquently points out, there is no need. This sh**t does indeed write itself. (Except the poem. Borrie writes those and what a work of art this week's is). You know what to do next, people. Enjoy.
