TLD/Red Bull/KTM’s Shane “Moody” McElrath is a 250SX championship favorite going into 2019 and understands his time is limited before jumping up to a 450. We will get his thoughts on the upcoming season and battling Dungey for the Red Bull Straight Rhythm crown a few weeks ago. We have known David Pingree for many years and he has been a guest on our show many times. We were stoked to hear he was developing his own podcast that will launch in December and we have done all we can to help get it off the ground. The Whiskey Throttle Show will feature Ping and Grant Langston as hosts, with a special in-studio guest featured every show in a new custom studio at the TLD shop. This show is centered in SoCal and will have access to the sport’s greatest names and riders each show. Make sure you check it out and help spread the word when it debuts! DMXS Radio thanks DUNLOP, Coach Robb Beams, MyLucasOil.com, Racer X, MX Sports, DUBYA Wheels, OGIO, and Concept2 Rowers for their continued support.

Grant Langston has a front row seat to all the action this summer and we’ll get his thoughts as the outdoors are winding down and ready to crown two new champions. Ryan Sipes can truly can anything on a dirt bike, including showing up and winning a TT race! We’re very proud to have Ryan representing DMXS at the Red Bull Straight Rhythm’s Media Challenge and will discuss of that and more tonight. We’ve known Jason Weigandt for almost twenty years but didn’t know the extent of his uselessness around the house with DIY projects until Kevin came across this nugget of info at Loretta Lynn’s last week. Jason will try to explain how he’s gotten so far in life without these critical manly skills. Wes Williams is living back in Georgia and we are stoked to have him hang with us in the studio whenever he’s not traveling. It was so cool to see Wes back filming at Loretta’s and brought back some great memories to the DMXS/VURB days when the world was truly the best.

Daniel Blair talks amateur racing and plans for 2019. Grant Langston discusses doing live tv, we get to know Privateer Tyler Skodras , and Jay Reynolds with Nitro Arenacross fills us in on the upcoming season

It really makes no sense at all. Travis Pastrana, as a pro rookie, won the 2000 125 National Motocross Championship. A year later, he had already won his last professional race. During a tumultuous 2001 125 season, Pastrana, Grant Langston, and Mike Brown slammed each other on and off the track (weekly!) and battled through injuries, bike problems, and more. That season is most remembered as the one where Langston lost the title due to a broken wheel in the last moto, but it also marked Travis' last title shot as a racer, as a huge crash and concussion suffered while leading at Unadilla marked the beginning of the end. He'd have flashes on a 250 in supercross the next year, but he never won again. Last year, we called Travis for his recollections on the 2001 season as material for a Racer X Online Longform story titled "Fight Club." We held on to the audio recording of his interview, and it provides the substance of this week's Racer X Exhaust Podcast. The Racer X Exhaust Podcast is sponsored by Yoshimura

Have you heard?! We're giving away a pair of Snapchat Spectacles! - https://gum.co/spectacles     About this Episode: Ahhh, love is always in the air this time of year! Couples celebrate having it, while singletons deepen their commitment to finding it. In fact, the fear of being single is real, as a new study finds more than half of respondents admitted to staying in unhappy relationships because they’re afraid of being alone.   If you’re single and tired of mingling or looking for a new love, eHarmony has a Valentine’s Day gift for you!   Grant Langston, eHarmony’s newly appointed and charismatic CEO, isn’t wasting any time taking love “made in cyber heaven,” to the next level. At the helm of Langston’s new leadership, eHarmony is bringing humor to the forefront of online dating, for the first time in history.   After years of scientific research, eHarmony has identified nine core dimensions of humor at the root of millions of successful first dates “and” happily ever afters. On this episode, we discuss:   How humor plays a major roles in “finding the one” and the nine types of humor from “wit and word-play” to “self-deprecating” Men vs. Women “By the numbers:” new data looking at how the two groups stack up in their views on Valentine's Day, love and money. About Grant: Grant Langston has been with eHarmony since its inception in August, 2000. He has influenced almost every aspect of the brand – from his early days as a writer to later years managing marketing, customer care, content, social media, and the trust and safety departments. A passionate advocate of eHarmony’s mission, Grant never misses an opportunity to speak about compatibility and its importance in a successful, long-term relationship. Prior to life at eHarmony, Grant enjoyed his time as a writer in the TV and radio advertising arena, and as an operations manager for a music industry marketing firm. He has a B.A. in Political Science from Auburn University.   Courtesy: eHarmony

Supergroups come in all sizes, at least that's the convention behind Los Angeles' Jolenes. The three songwriters that form the heart of the band each have their own outfit; Grant Langston's stalwart band is called the Supermodels, David Serby fronts The Latest Scam, Dan Janisch has a group that plays under his own name and the fourth member, drummer Dale Daniel, is a veteran of the Los Angeles music scene - and their collective resume features a dozen or more albums and countless shows between them. So what brought these busy guys together and inspired them to add yet another responsibility to their schedules? The answer is friendship and an undying love for country music. The Jolenes' communal songwriting arrangement allows these three writers and bandleaders to abdicate the responsibility of being the boss by sharing that load with other artists who they call their friends. Rather than simply playing different arrangements of songs from their respective catalogs or leaning on covers, the Jolenes sit in a room - together - with guitars and some beer and hammer out ideas in the round - and it's this fun, communal approach that is evident in the new songs written specifically for the band. The group's lineage draws a lot of water right out of the gate in the Los Angeles music scene - further allowing them to largely sidestep the rigmarole of scrapping around to book the good gigs. When asked, the guys in the Jolenes will say that they're having too much fun to yet think too much about making an album. Once you hear them, you may hope that they change their minds.

Although it can seem so by people who don't like it, country music is not a singular, boot-and-hat-wearing monolith. When viewed close up, there are as many variations and subgenres in the style as there are diverse artists are who invented them. And although Nashville is the undisputed epicenter for what is commonly known as 'country,' some of the more colorful, eccentric and original characters have always had a hard time fitting into Nashville's rigid confines. Enter Grant Langston. Langston grew up a mere 125 miles south of the Ryman Auditorium in the sleepy, rural, red dirt town of Hartselle, Alabama. But when it came time to move to a place big enough to hold his ambitious dreams in music, Nashville just didn't seem right for his hybridized brand of country that mixes healthy doses of rock, pop and bits of other styles into a cohesive and catchy blend. In Nashville, Langston might be a square peg, but in Los Angeles he fits right into the same diverse and healthy local twang scene where it is OK that Dwight Yoakam eats sushi. Langston has five studio albums and one live album under his belt and we hope he never stops.
