Gypsy Tales

I'm not sure what you can say about Ronnie Mac that hasn't been said, so we will just have to repeat some well known facts. Fastest man to ever ride a motorcycle, so good looking he needs to hide his face, inventor of MMA as we know it. Enjoy this excerpt from the live podcast we recorded at the AUS-X Open in Sydney.

Chad Reed is one of the most influential and iconic motorsports athletes to ever come out of Australia. His accomplishments are known to even the most casual Australian sports fan and are the stuff of legend to die hard fans.

We were lucky enough to have Dean Wilson join us on both of our Supercross Live Podcasts at Sydney and in NZ. So instead of making you scroll through both podcasts we thought it would be rad to pull his segments and upload them to one podcast. Dean is joined by Jason Anderson, Jackson Richardson and Hayden Mellross. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at h...

Mike Sleeter is an OG of the dirt bike world and depending on how close to the ground you keep your ear, you may or may not have ever heard of him.

Craig Jones has had one of the more meteoric rises to the top of a sport that I have seen. Just a few years ago Craig was relatively unknown in the Jiu Jitsu community until he submitted one of the best of all time at ADCC. Since then, Craig has cemented himself at the top of the sports. It has been a crazy ride to watch and his story is "Australian Underdog' as it gets! See Privacy Policy at http...

Nick Joyce is a young farmer and hunter who has been a friend of the show since the start. On a recent trip to QLD we caught up and I insisted that when we did it had to be recorded as a Chapter of Gypsy Tales. Nick is a 6th generation farmer as well as an avid hunter and brings a wealth of knowledge to the podcast on subjects that are making headlines in Australian news at the moment. See Privacy...

Janay Harding is a bad ass. She is a professional mixed martial artist and is quickly rising up the ranks in one of the biggest organisations in the world. We sat down and had an awesome chat about women in sport, equality and much much more. I really respect her views and how she is confident enough in herself to say what she believes, even if it doesn't fit the current popular narrative. See Pri...

Lyon Herron is one crazy cat. He was born with a rare disease that, in his specific mutation, affects only 25 people in the world. He has a disease called Gardner Syndrome that means his body is constantly growing tumors. This basically means Lyon has been battling cancer his whole life and most likely always will. In this podcast we go deep into some of the medical issues that he has had to deal...

Aaron Blackie is a mixed marital artist who is at the top of the food chain in the Australia Featherweight division. On top of that he is also a very philosophical guy who has spent a lot of time thinking about what makes people inherently good and bad, as well as successful or not in their lives. It was super refreshing to sit down and have a conversation at length about a lot of things that I al...

This podcast was supposed to go down under way different circumstances... Tyler was going to come on and talk about how rad his first trip to Australia was going to be. Instead, he spent the majority of his trip in hospital after shattering his foot. If there's any silver lining, it's that it free'd us up to go way deeper into Tyler's story without getting side tracked with DITD carry-on. This was...

I can't say this is a formal episode of Gypsy Tales... This is just a recap from an epic 4 days at the first running of the epic motocross festival that is Day in the Dirt Downunder.

Em spent the last five years getting her life back together a...

Carey Hart is a man who has lived a full life to say the least. He was a professional motocross racer in the late 90's and then became a part of the original freestyle motocross crew that helped give birth to the action sports industry. His legacy in freestyle is the first ever backflip on a motocross bike which opened the floodgates to what people perceived possible on a dirtbike. As if that wasn...

Stuart Cooper is a jiu jitsu black belt and the most well known film maker in the bjj community. I met Stuart in Thailand and after our first conversation I knew that he had to come on the podcast. The timeline of our careers are very similar in terms of film making and it was awesome to sit down and talk with someone who has been through so many similar experiences. Stuart was also extremely hone...

Trent has fulfilled a lifetime dream of being accepted into the Australian Fire Brigade, has just launched a charity and is about to release his first children book! Visit our sponsors page to support the legends who supp...

You may have seen some hilarious content come from Struthless over the last few months. After creating some awesome illustrations on his Instagram account @struthless69 he turned to video to get more complicated humor out to the world. His video explaining the economical benefits of traveling to Mexico for the weekend to do cocaine instead of a night out in Sydney went viral and that was the start...
