My uncle worked for TKA as a mechanic and knew Josh when Josh was starting out and riding a 600. Back then in Oz if one kid binned a bike other team mechanics helped out and that's how they knew each other. So years later I got to meet him at the Phillip Island Classic with my uncle in a classic racing garage. This is when he'd gone over to Europe and England and doing well. He was a bit shy, polite and just a nice guy. Glad to see he's done so well, one nice guy who doesn't finish last!
Josh interviews so well; articulate, witty, clever and a gentleman.
..only just finished listening to this episode and probably like many people, its been a revelation about Josh Brooks...great bloke, honest to a fault and a real hard grafter to get where he is today..
Changed my mind and on him. I always admired his riding hit was never keen. After listening to this he’s probably my favourite person in bsb now. He seems like a good laugh to go out for a beer with.
One of the best yet boys, Josh Brooks is my new favourite rider to follow after listening to this and looking forward to next time he gets on, hopefully after he wins the BSB this year. Well done lads!
Not even a hour in and already confirming why josh and niall Mackenzie are my favourite two BSB riders of all time! 👌
What a sound bloke 👍.
Great interview.
this has to be one of best so far 🖒🖒🖒
get Tommy bridewell on 🖒
Best thing Josh has ever done for his public image, he came across really well. I admit i was one of those people Josh that had made a call without all the facts, but your love of just riding in general and the history of racing has me properly converted! Good luck this season, get the job done in bsb and demand a go at tt on birdys Dukes next year!!!
totally agree with you Jesse
I didn’t think josh was such a good guy completely misjudged him but of a fan now! Also never listened to this podcast thought 3 hours might be a bit much but enjoyed every minute
Absolutely brilliant interview with Josh guys.I've always liked him.This series is great.I hope you keep it going.
That was definitely one of the best guests you’ve had on. Keep up the good work lads 🤙🏻
What a great guy , had the pleasure to meet him at Oulton.
What a great story to listen to. .
Welldone Chasin the racin
"Oh, it's just a disc". Classic!!! Meet him at Oulton Park a few years back, such a quiet, shy guy who hates the limelight. Massive respect for him. Keep up the good work lads #legend
How great is this! I've always enjoyed Brooks but I'm a massive fan now hearing all the back story. Enjoyed hearing him tell all the details of his career. Fantastic Josh! Good luck rest of the year!
My favourite BSB rider hopefully another BSB title and the end of the season
Really enjoyed this episode, what a sound guy. I never bought into all the “bad boy” crap, always thought he was just straight up competitive, fast rider.
I really liked this interview. Josh certainly didn't hold back or avoid any questions and came over as a genuinely honest guy. Fair play. I well remember the Donington accident with Sylvain and how even at the time he explained his brakes had failed (and no one believed him). Good on you Josh, you certainly haven't had anything handed to you on a plate. Thanks for the podcast guys!
Lesley from Benidorm what a crack ( hilarious) That shut Dom up for a minute or two brilliant.
Never thought I would listen to the entire 2+ hour interview but it was spectacular and interview flowed well. Good to learn more about him. Good lad.
I never really knew anything about Brookes. Great interview, could have listened to him all day, seems like a good guy. Well done lads and keep it up!
Loved this interview. Aside from being a Shakey fan i've always cheered for Brooks. Enjoyed hearing his side if the stories. 👍
Can’t believe how time fly’s. Absolutely loved the interview. Knew Josh was a decent bloke, after meeting him in 2013 at the TT. Can’t wait for next weeks podcast.🙌🙌🙌🙌👍👍.Cheers.
Best so far ! What a man !
Thouroughly enjoyed this. Worth every minute.
Josh comes across so well. Bad boy crown is firmly on Andrew Irwin's head. Great show 👍👍👍👍
Racing a bit bent shocker. That aside; What a fine chap Josh comes across as. Wish him the very very best for the remainder of the season.
Hello really enjoyed it ! josh is a top man ,thanks guys 👍
Absolutely loved that and that boy Josh is pretty cool. Keep up the great work lads
I’ve listened to every pod and that interview is one of the best yet! Well done lads.
this was fantastic what a guy and the stories !
Great show guys. Keep 'em coming! 👍
Fantastic interview lads, have a new massive level of respect for josh.
Best so far really good entertainment really interesting stories cheers 🍻
Great Interview guys, nice to hear Josh's side of things!!
Unreal best interview yet lads so funny. Don your a legend you would make a cat laugh keep them coming 👌👍
Cracking interview. I remember back in the day when JB first came to BSB. I was aware of him but didn't know him well enough as to be a follower or supporter of his. BUT every single week MCN stripped shreads out of him, they were by far one of his biggest critics. They loved Shakey and rightly so, but I genuinely feel MCN stirred the pot and whipped a lot of the fans of BSB into a hate frenzy against JB. I think by going to the NW200 & TT he proved himself to the fans he was a cracking racer and good bloke. Needless to say I don't buy MCN anymore, out of sync tripe.
PS great interview Chrissy, Dom & team.
Great podcast....one of the best yet!....Isnt he a nice man!
Terrific, honest, candid, no holds barred.
What a quality episode lads! So funny and interesting. Josh speaking about his racing history was so engaging. Thanks to all three of you. 👍👍
Always liked Josh been following all things motorbike racing since about 1996 actually forgot about Josh's first foray into bsb and was wondering last year why he has badboy on his crash helmet, Then listening to this it came back to me . I can say I never judged him and just a fan of the racing in all classes
Sad to say I have just discovered this podcast. I've been watching British superbike racing since Whit won on the fast orange yam, I remember the controversy surounding Josh, always thought there was too much nonsense spouted about that. I've always had a great deal of respect for Aussies coming over here to race, it's literally half a world away. Have a great 2023 season Josh, if the old trout could stick it to the young uns you can too.
Best interview you lads have ever done. Josh is the man .
Cracking interview. Good work Fellas
Was never a fan of Brookes but after this interview what a top bloke nice to see what he’s really like rather than the hard race face we see at a race weekend 🏴👍
Lov ya long time Josh, proud of you back home buddy
Just refreshed TH-cam subs before bed. Looks like I'm having an extra coffee in the morning instead now... lol
I was there that day in PI when he won ASBK and WSBK. Blew me away. I wish I was there the day Gobert "did his business" in 1994 as a wildcard rider.
Josh uses this interview to get a few things off his chest. He appreciates the time to run through his whole career, and doesn’t pull his punches. Andy Irwin should take heart he’s not the only BSB rider to have the loose cannon tag. Nobody means to crash and take others out do they.
Never liked josh. But now having watched this I very quickly found myself enjoying listening to him and getting an insight into the man I have a new found appreciation of him. Great episode lads!
We love ya josh,you have nothing to apologise for,your more popular with the british fans than you give yourself credit for,keep up the racing fella your a credit to the BSB,maybe do a race at Olivers Mount with Dom next year,you'd love it.
🇬🇧 🇦🇺
Seeing Josh in this light is brilliant. Love his openness although the conspiracy element must screw with his mind :) King of the mountain, but watch out for Ryan Vickers over the mountain, he could be taking your crown.
Josh always thought you were brilliant
Met you honda portsmouth 2009
You spent an hr talking to me
Great bloke and rider
Hope you get the championship
at brands
Sound guy Josh Brookes..met him at TT when on Norton. Had that currly moustache..was talking to him but miles away looking at that tash!
Very good TT rider..try it again Josh.
Love these interviews!
Josh is alright, he got a hard time when he came over to the uk, I seen him take out Gintoli live at Dony, must admit I joined in on crash net.
This was a cracking episode, it would be interesting to get Redding on and get his point on view. One question I do have though is, with BSB being regarded as the best motorbike national racing series, how come Brookesy didn't go to WSBK sooner? He finishes in the top 3 in BSB most years (from what I can remember) and has world supersport experience
this interview is brilliant.
This podcast has totally changed my perception of Josh. I always thought he was a dick, but he's shown me the error of my way. Well done Mr Brookes.
It's so refreshing to see riders without the filter of "professional " media types more interested in promoting their own careers. Nice one 👍 I can't help wondering what your podcast would have done for Casey Stoner.... author of the greatest put down ever to be broadcast live (I'm a Rossi fan, but Casey had cojones)
Excellent interview
Need to get him back on.always liked him as a racer now like him as a person too.
I am a bit surprised by all the comments. I think you can see that Josh is disturbed by the interruption from Dom. Right at the beginning he says let me finish this. I have the felling that Josh tries to tell a lot of interesting stories. And he does not like to be interrupted. He seems to be a very focused serious guy.
Na we love u now brooksy
Dom, please try to let the person talk. Your constant interruptions and the inane shite that you speak is really tiring. Thank god Chris has the ability to ask a question and wait for an answer.
agree, these pod casts would be so much better better without someone interrupting all the time and trying to be funny but failing
Never really took interest in josh before,how wrong,what a genuinely honest and interesting guy.....ps please stop interrupting 🙄😔
Chill on the adderoll lads lol
Where is Dom's Cap? :D
Let the guest speak, your not Ant and Deck .. bloody good blog thou .
australia is 36 times bigger than the uk
Lad with the Cap is proper annoying,trys to have a witty comment about everything Josh says but fails miserably!!!!!
