·31 min·2 clips

This feels almost like it's fixed to me.

1. NTN » The DawgHouse spends this episode on Supercross speculation, MotoGP contract news, and rider politics. 2. The hosts Phil and Ken drive the conversation, with Warren and other off-mic voices reacting to race results, contracts, and paddock rumors. 3. The episode asks whether current racing narratives are shaped by results, team politics, and rider influence more than by pure competition. 4. Phil opens by saying watching Supercross felt "all too predictable" and then says it "feels almost like it's fixed" after seeing Ken Roxen, Eli Tomac, and Deegan. 5. The hosts immediately frame the claim as absurd and joke about the NBA, WWE, the FBI, and whether Lee Diffie could be removed from the broadcast booth. 6. They revisit Chase Sexton's rough race, including a bad start after hitting the starting gate, a crash involving Cooper Webb, and a fourth-place finish on a Kawasaki. 7. The discussion then turns to Tomac, Roxen, and the idea that broadcasters and fans are being pushed toward certain riders, especially when Jet Lawrence is absent. 8. Phil and Ken sketch out a possible season script where Tomac, Roxen, and Jet Lawrence become the main storyline and the rest of the field is used to set up later drama. 9. The hosts also talk about Malcolm Stewart returning after a dislocated shoulder, calling him tough for racing again so quickly. 10. The Supercross segment widens into discussion of Barcia, Anderson, Prado, and other riders who were out or underperforming. 11. One of the most memorable lines is the joke about using a "book of no accountability" to make predictions about the season. 12. Another recurring idea is that the 250 class is being shaped by the rise of Danger Boy while Levi Kitchen keeps making mistakes and losing ground. 13. The show then pivots to MotoGP and reports that Marc Marquez has signed a new two-year contract with Ducati. 14. The hosts say the contract keeps Marquez away from HRC for the near future and likely carries him through a major part of the next rules cycle. 15. They discuss how Ducati still looks like the benchmark while Yamaha, KTM, and the 2027 bike plans create uncertainty. 16. A Motorsport.com item about Francesco Bagnaia leads to a debate over whether Marquez could influence bike development in ways that make Bagnaia's job harder. 17. The tone is loose, argumentative, and heavily improvised, with Phil and Ken joking through most of the racing analysis. 18. The format mixes race recap, rumor review, contract news, and offhand predictions without a formal interview structure. 19. Fans of Supercross gossip, MotoGP roster talk, and paddock speculation will probably listen closely. 20. Listeners wanting polished race analysis or a tight interview may skip it.
