Jett - Having Personal - PROBLEMS

[00:00:06]Was Jett Lawrence's crash random or more than meets the eye?

[00:00:14]>> [music] >> Everybody Welty Wonders, buckle up, strap in. We got a hard-hitting, pull no punches, no sugarcoating it, no rainbows, no sunshine. I'm just going to give it to you and give it to you straight. We got a good one to unpackage today. Welcome to the show. I hope everybody's doing great. Jump back on the moto merry-go-round, examine the good, the bad, and maybe a little bit of the ugly. Welty, not the ugly. Only examine rainbows and sunshine and Jett's custom foot peg. No, no, no. Somebody's got to read between the lines and look between the ruts. We've got ruts to look through today. Jett Lawrence, the alien, the wonder boy, the chosen one.

[00:00:48]>> [gasps and laughter] >> Welcome to the swimming pool. Dude, we got to talk about this because, you know, this is a tricky one for sure. I had touched on this previously in one of my other videos.

[00:00:58]Um, the reality is this. We know how serious that injury was. He certainly didn't come back stronger than he left.

[00:01:04]He is compromised and he was forced back into action, basically. And I don't think he's ready to be out there. I mean, clearly it's frustrating. We know the previous race we he showed how frustrated he was when he got to the press conference. He pretty much told the room, "Don't ask me about my foot."

[00:01:22]And the reason he would say that is because something wrong with his foot and he's sick of it. He's tired of it.

[00:01:28]He can't ride. He can't train. He can't do anything. I'm a little concerned because one of the things we see all the time, especially when you achieve financial success and you're get rich, uh, it's really hard because you have no reason to be depressed anymore. You've achieved the goal. You've basically cracked the code. You are now financially fit. And, you know, it's just it's it's a double-edged sword because a lot of times once you you're chasing the care It's all about the journey more than the destination. And once you know, he's reached his destination and unfortunately this thing reached up and grabbed him and bit him and it's compromised him not only physically but mentally. Mentally Jet has been compromised. Like I said, when you see a meltdown, when you see him tell the room at a press conference he doesn't want to talk about the foot. And and the the elephant in the room really for me is this.

[00:02:23]Is you know, it's it's not if he took medications or not, it's which ones.

[00:02:28]Which ones did he take? Well, typically when you get an injury, it's painful.

[00:02:33]And so what do you get? Pain medications. But it gets a little deeper than that because you see when you add in the element the wrinkle we'll call it of Danger Boy Deegs now running his mouth daring you to come back daring you to challenge him playing psychological warfare basically with Jett and like he did with all the other groms in the 250 class and it worked. Now, Jett came back and he's been able to handle his business and keep Danger Boy from beating him straight up at this moment.

[00:03:04]And like I said before, I believe he's Danger Boy has got a big big tall order to try to beat the Wonder Boy straight up even with the compromised foot. But we'll save that for a different episode.

[00:03:18]The reality is this. I'm a little concerned right now for Jett Lawrence because yes, that crash is a crash we've probably a lot of us have had before you tuck the front end, right? But I think it was more than that. I think it was more of a lapse of judgment because he see he he's we don't see Jett make mistakes like that. Until this injury, we've never seen him I actually I'll take that back. He's had a few he's had a few crashes. I remember in Supercross a couple years ago.

[00:03:48]He had a couple crashes and you know, but this is a little different now because he's dealing with an injury. And this injury is clearly playing with him psychologically. So, not only do I believe, based on my experience from back in the day, when this was hard-hitting power punk rock and chicks, by the way, not watered down SMX playoff woke football uh spin-off type of behavior from the industry, is, you know, he he was prescribed a lot of meds. Now, a lot of them were probably holistic, a lot of vitamins and other things to help stimulate, you know, whether it's hyperbaric or stem cell, whatever the case may be, uh physical therapy, PT, massage, a lot of things like that. But the reality is this, when you come out of surgery, you're on pain meds. When that thing's nagging for a year, a year, basically coming up on a year, and he's still clearly not feeling good.

[00:04:55]Now, he looked, I mean, it is crazy to me because here's the thing. This is kind of the reason I'm going here, brother. It is this.

[00:05:04]He his limp was horrendous, horrendous.

[00:05:09]All every race that he raced this year, that limp was horrendous. Did you notice on the Millville podium, his limp was magically at least 75% better than it was in the previous round? You do not make those types of advancements in one week's time. So, it tells me there's clearly clearly he had something done, whether it was, I mean, it had to be medications. It just is no other thing other than maybe what, stem cell or some some kind of miracle treatment, like we know he's got all the money in the world, so he's going to receive the best treatment that's available. But we you don't go from limping extremely noticeably, extremely obviously uncomfortable to and unless he he forced himself to walk that way so the limp wouldn't appear to be as bad.

[00:06:04]But that limp was was so much better than the prior week. I mean, you just something's going on for me. So I I really think a healthy Jet does not make have that crash. Now, we can take the whole, you know, medication thing out of the equation.

[00:06:21]And there's a good chance just with the compromised foot, no not full range of motion or full strength could have easily caused that wreck as well. But clearly that's a wreck that he typically doesn't have, at least pre-injury. Now he's having these types of wrecks. He's but here's the thing, man. Like I said, I would not be surprised, and I hope I'm wrong. I really want to be wrong because I know what it's like. I've walked in these shoes, and most of you guys that have participated in Gladiator Games Bloodsport has had their trip to the hospital and surgeries and just banged up and prescribed medications to deal with it. But I'm even more concerned at this point because I've seen so many rich people. I live in the million-dollar district. I've I've seen I've friends with a lot of wealthy people.

[00:07:17]And I they become the most depressed people. It's like, why are you depressed? You have nothing to be depressed about. But sometimes what happens is depression can creep in, especially if you have some antagonist like Danger Boy, you know, running his mouth at you, and you're just but even with Danger Boy out of the picture, you're just bummed because you're now compromised. And that doesn't feel good. And you've cashed in.

[00:07:45]You've got all the things that money can buy, but you're still not happy. In final thoughts, I come to you as a friend, as a content creator, as a moto guy that wants to see you not only win on the track, off the track. Understand the waters you're swimming in now.

[00:07:59]They're shark infested. Jet Lawrence, welcome to the swimming pool, my brother. Listen, it was clear that you crashed, right? And the way you got up and then that bike took you back down, the trauma that I saw, and I couldn't say I wouldn't do the same thing, especially if you're in front of a crowd, you know, that's a kind of an embarrassing moment to get tackled by your own bike. But I'm just a little bit concerned at this moment that limp was gone. Are you managing it with what kind of therapeutics? Hopefully holistic.

[00:08:28]I know that you had to manage that injury with pain meds. Hopefully you're off of those, but it wouldn't I would not be surprised after two grueling 30-plus-two motos that you're in some pain and potentially we need to calm that pain down. Are you also going through a little bit of lightweight depression cuz there's a changing of the guard? Your brother's now grabbing a big piece of that spotlight that was once yours, even though you're the $40 million man and getting paid huge amounts more than not only him, anybody in the sport.

[00:09:06]But the truth is usually somewhere in the middle. That's why Walt will be here to blow the lid off at every step of the way. Cuz it's only what we need, it's some fact.
