Barstool Pat launches motorcycle series 'The Moto Show' Episode 1

Pat has apparently been sitting on this one for a while, and now it's finally out in the world. The first episode of 'The Moto Show' dropped on YouTube, and it's built around a ride to the summit of Mount Washington in New Hampshire, one of the more famously brutal climbs in the Northeast.

My new series is finally here! Been working on this for a while. Check out episode one of ‘The Moto Show’ LIVE on YouTube now!! t.co/iJetIXREt1

It's a real swing for a new format. Solo travel-and-talk shows live or die on whether the host can actually carry a scene without a co-host bouncing lines off him, and doing it from a motorcycle adds a logistics headache most people wouldn't bother with. The Mount Washington setting doesn't hurt either — it's known for having some of the worst weather on the planet, so picking it for episode 1 is either a flex or a warning sign for episode 2.

Pat wasn't shy about how much work went into getting it out the door, either.

Shout out to our editors for answering the endless questions I had while figuring out how to do this

That's a small detail, but it tracks with launching something new — figuring out the whole pipeline of shooting, editing and posting a series is a different animal than a normal Barstool clip, and it sounds like there was a learning curve behind the scenes.

The reaction so far is coming from inside the building. Uncle Chaps, who's apparently heard Pat talk about this project for a while, chimed in with some support now that it's actually out.

Pat’s been talkin about this for a while. Can’t wait to check it out

One episode doesn't make a series, but the setup is there: a real destination, a host willing to put in the mileage, and enough buildup from the people around him that it clearly wasn't a rushed idea. Whether 'The Moto Show' becomes a regular thing probably comes down to how episode 1 actually lands with viewers now that it's live.
