- 2:13Speaker 3: Fandel is America's number one sports book in the world.
- 2:18Speaker 3: Well America, now, let's talk about this this weekend. We
- 2:21Speaker 3: had ourselves a couple of streams Thursday, we kicked it off. Yeah,
- 2:25Speaker 3: seemed like the boys for the most part, stayed around
- 2:28Speaker 3: fifty percent, maybe.
- 2:29Speaker 2: A little more.
- 2:29Speaker 3: I think a couple of units were made here and there.
- 2:32Speaker 3: Then we get to Friday. Now, I'm just gonna say
- 2:34Speaker 3: this real quick had an amazing time. But Friday, first
- 2:39Speaker 3: three bets.
- 2:40Speaker 2: What we do? We bank? We were bank bank riding high.
- 2:44Speaker 2: Confidence goes up way too high. Union goes up a
- 2:47Speaker 2: little bit more because like today's the day to day is.
- 2:50Speaker 3: A day we found we finally found a little crack
- 2:53Speaker 3: in the armor of Las Vegas, Nevada. Ye turns out
- 2:57Speaker 3: Vegas is never wrong, and the boys went plummeting down
- 2:59Speaker 3: to We had.
- 3:01Speaker 2: A rough go. We started second guessing ourselves a little bit.
- 3:03Speaker 2: We started talking about bets a little too much. However,
- 3:06Speaker 2: I will say the the best part of March Madness
- 3:10Speaker 2: for myself is that over two and a half in
- 3:14Speaker 2: the first minute when we learn those quick bets. Because again,
- 3:17Speaker 2: it's fun betting spreads, it's fun fun betting totals and
- 3:19Speaker 2: points and everything else, but you have to wait for
- 3:21Speaker 2: the game to kind of unfold, but to get your
- 3:23Speaker 2: juices going. When all of us were riding on the
- 3:26Speaker 2: over two and a half points in the first minute.
- 3:29Speaker 2: Somebody on Friday found the first four minutes over twelve
- 3:32Speaker 2: and a half points in the first four minutes, both
- 3:34Speaker 2: teams to score a goal in the first minute or
- 3:37Speaker 2: first two goal, race to five, race to ten, to fifteen,
- 3:40Speaker 2: all the way up to seventy. Those are the ones
- 3:43Speaker 2: that were getting me fired up. And you mentioned on
- 3:46Speaker 2: Thursday we started off the Dog of the Day promo
- 3:49Speaker 2: that vandal has. We got to share in the one
- 3:53Speaker 2: million dollar jackpot because McNeese was the lowest seed to
- 3:56Speaker 2: win on Thursday, lost on Friday with on Friday, was
- 3:58Speaker 2: lost on Saturday with me easy again, tried stick of
- 4:01Speaker 2: staying with mcneesy, but tough. I was, Yeah, I was
- 4:05Speaker 2: fired up when the Dog of the Day hit, When
- 4:07Speaker 2: their promo's going on and their Dog of the Day hit,
- 4:09Speaker 2: I was, I was fired up. We have a baseball
- 4:11Speaker 2: one coming up which will tell you about Yeah, but
- 4:13Speaker 2: we'll continue to talk about our fund that we had
- 4:15Speaker 2: on the street.
- 4:15Speaker 3: I will say this is like I said, this is
- 4:17Speaker 3: my first time really diving into March madness, so I
- 4:19Speaker 3: didn't really know how to go, Like do you start
- 4:21Speaker 3: firing bets right away?
- 4:22Speaker 2: Am I keeping my unit up? Where it usually is.
- 4:25Speaker 2: And I was telling you, Will pulled me to.
- 4:26Speaker 3: The side and he was, listen, you want to go
- 4:28Speaker 3: smaller units because it's a long burn. This is a marathon.
- 4:31Speaker 3: You're gonna have to deal with here. So when we
- 4:33Speaker 3: started hitting that two and a half in the first minute,
- 4:36Speaker 3: the five, ten, fifteens, yeah, the first half total points,
- 4:40Speaker 3: all those things, Like you're keeping small units, but it's
- 4:43Speaker 3: like you're interested in enjoying the entire time because it's
- 4:45Speaker 3: not about how much you win, it's about the vibes
- 4:48Speaker 3: of the boys. Yeah, the vibes.
- 4:50Speaker 2: You want to keep the units low again, responsibly low, responsiblity.
- 4:54Speaker 2: You know how many how many you're just thrown out there,
- 4:55Speaker 2: Like there are moments where it's like I don't even
- 4:57Speaker 2: know what what's next on the on the dock, and
- 5:00Speaker 2: I don't even know it's next on the bet slip.
- 5:01Speaker 2: But fortunately, when you keep your unit slow, because you're
- 5:03Speaker 2: throwing out so many different bets, you're able to kind
- 5:06Speaker 2: of stay in the game.
- 5:07Speaker 3: I set a personal record for myself on Thursday. I
- 5:09Speaker 3: had over seventy bets according to my fan sports.
- 5:11Speaker 2: Like that that's just that's just nothing. You jump on
- 5:14Speaker 2: it and just reminds you how long you've been on
- 5:16Speaker 2: the app and how many betses.
- 5:17Speaker 3: Yeah, that it gives you that little reality check. It's
- 5:20Speaker 3: just it's just kind of fun.
- 5:21Speaker 2: Now.
- 5:21Speaker 3: Friday, I start bumping the bets up a little bit
- 5:23Speaker 3: because we had that three we talked about. It started
- 5:24Speaker 3: hitting so fast. Caught myself in a little bit of
- 5:27Speaker 3: a spiral. It was going down. I was going down
- 5:29Speaker 3: the drain a little bit.
- 5:30Speaker 2: All good, All good. But that's the that's the is
- 5:33Speaker 2: the reason why you keep the right because when you're
- 5:37Speaker 2: when you're losing your bets, you get you start to
- 5:39Speaker 2: want to chase what you've lost. That's why you got
- 5:42Speaker 2: to keep them low. So you're just not in a
- 5:43Speaker 2: full blender throughout the entire weekend.
- 5:45Speaker 3: My brain can't sit there and just like be like, Okay,
- 5:48Speaker 3: I'm taking Florida minus six and a half, I'm taking
- 5:50Speaker 3: Michigan minus one and a half, and then just wait
- 5:52Speaker 3: the entire game for the result of my bet, Like
- 5:54Speaker 3: I need to I need to feel something the entire
- 5:56Speaker 3: time we're working around. Yeah, but baseball season, it's opening week.

- 7:34Speaker 3: bet on Homer's Every time that guy steps into the
- 7:37Speaker 3: batter's box, does his fun little superstitious does the cross

- 7:48Speaker 2: wish you. I wish we were back in the Big
- 7:49Speaker 2: Mac days, Saint Louis Cardinals. You got Big Maclamb because
- 7:53Speaker 2: of Mark McGuire. He was just hitting dingers every day,
- 7:56Speaker 2: but betting on a home run in landing in Big
- 8:00Speaker 2: Mac Land, everybody in the section gets a free Big
- 8:03Speaker 2: Mac and the Cardinals and not to just go off
- 8:05Speaker 2: course and just talk about the Saint Louis Cardinals, But
- 8:07Speaker 2: when they're in the playoffs, big Max were a dollar
- 8:12Speaker 2: and your boy would house like three big MAXs, no doubt, bro,
- 8:15Speaker 2: Me and Logan, Me and Logan. I know Logan always
- 8:19Speaker 2: makes his way onto this boy always makes his way
- 8:21Speaker 2: on the show. But we just ripped down to McDonald's.
- 8:23Speaker 2: Cardinals would go on like they'd have like seven game series,
- 8:26Speaker 2: like it was all time. So I'm fired up about this.
- 8:29Speaker 2: What is it against? Is jackpot prophet boost token? You
- 8:32Speaker 2: use it? And then if that guy Homers, everybody splits
- 8:35Speaker 2: five hundred thousand dollars.
- 8:36Speaker 3: Everybody who bet on that guy to Homer in that
- 8:38Speaker 3: game will divvy up five hundred thousand dollars.
- 8:41Speaker 2: I gotta I gotta find the I gotta find the guys.
- 8:43Speaker 2: What's his name, Aaron Judge. That's a big bastard. You
- 8:46Speaker 2: might hate. You might have to battle on him going.
- 8:48Speaker 3: Aaron Judge had a tough playoffs this past year. He's
- 8:51Speaker 3: Colley was coming off. He's a little slow, a little sluggish.
- 8:54Speaker 3: But I only know that because I started following the
- 8:55Speaker 3: Dodgers after I had that big fumble of going to
- 8:58Speaker 3: that game.
- 8:58Speaker 2: Maybe Otani know he's a very popular show. Yeah yeah, yeah,
- 9:08Speaker 2: oh no, ship what a legend.
- 9:12Speaker 3: I love fun names, fun names like Mookie Betts and
- 9:14Speaker 3: baseball too.
- 9:15Speaker 2: I feel like a lot of like their offspring has
- 9:19Speaker 2: made their way into this next generation. I feel like
- 9:20Speaker 2: baseball more than any other sport you see, like Tatis,
- 9:24Speaker 2: who else, King Griff, that guy and Holiday. I know
- 9:32Speaker 2: there's more. My brains just yeah, my brain's just not
- 9:35Speaker 2: fiery right now. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 9:39Speaker 3: I mean hockey is the same way. I feel like
- 9:41Speaker 3: that's just a sign of us getting older.
- 9:43Speaker 2: Like with the people we.
- 9:44Speaker 3: Used to watch, they had kids when we were watching them,
- 9:47Speaker 3: and now they're becoming their kids are becoming professional athletes
- 9:50Speaker 3: as well. Yeah, generational talents and yeah, generational.
- 9:55Speaker 2: Have you got go ahead? Jack?
- 9:56Speaker 6: I was talking about the over two and a half
- 9:58Speaker 6: points one of my friends after right when we finished streaming,
- 10:01Speaker 6: and one of his buddies, who's a big gambler, said,
- 10:04Speaker 6: for baseball season, outside of this coin that you're gonna do,
- 10:07Speaker 6: we might have found a new baseball over two and
- 10:08Speaker 6: a half bet. But it's apparently you bet the under
- 10:12Speaker 6: on runs in the first inning because they got these
- 10:15Speaker 6: guys coming out you know, they're starting pitchers throwing gas.
- 10:19Speaker 2: Just it doesn't away from me to get tired.
- 10:21Speaker 6: Yeah, but apparently that's this is one of those bets
- 10:24Speaker 6: that we can maybe play into as well. So just
- 10:27Speaker 6: like betting the under on runners in the first inning,
- 10:31Speaker 6: we go, Maybe we'll test the waters later this week
- 10:34Speaker 6: once Opening Days starts.
- 10:35Speaker 2: Is that Thursday? I beliek? So yeah, this week, this
- 10:40Speaker 2: wee week, this week? Yeah, yeah, any day this week.
- 10:43Speaker 2: If you guys check the bracket challenge, yeah, yeah. Do
- 10:48Speaker 2: you know who's in first place? Are you? It's Taylor? Oh? No,
- 10:53Speaker 2: ship in first place. Hey, let's go. Let's get a
- 10:55Speaker 2: right aplass with that. Huh you uh? Your bracket right now?
- 10:59Speaker 2: I think I think it's like two losses. It's like
- 11:01Speaker 2: ninety nine point nine percentile in the in the world.
- 11:04Speaker 3: Are you serious?
- 11:05Speaker 2: Your Your bracket is ranked in the top three thousand
- 11:08Speaker 2: people right now in the world, America, the world. Let's go.
- 11:12Speaker 2: I opened it up in my because I knew I
- 11:13Speaker 2: was in second last week, like after the first or
- 11:15Speaker 2: second day, and I was fired up. But I just
- 11:18Speaker 2: I jumped on again this morning, and I just see
- 11:20Speaker 2: Taylor sitting at the top and I'm like this mother,
- 11:23Speaker 2: something about fantasy. Man, I something about fantasy. I just
- 11:26Speaker 2: get it done. Dude.
- 11:28Speaker 3: Well, my bracket's about unless Michigan shows up in a
- 11:31Speaker 3: big way. Because when I was doing my bracket, I
- 11:33Speaker 3: kind of obviously was guessing and texted a couple of guys.
- 11:36Speaker 3: But when I got to Michigan in this part, I
- 11:38Speaker 3: have them beating Auburn, and then in the lead eight,
- 11:41Speaker 3: I was like, okay, this is probably where Michigan goes.
- 11:42Speaker 3: I know, sure them kind of gave me the whole
- 11:44Speaker 3: No one will be surprised if Michigan makes it to
- 11:46Speaker 3: the sweet sixteen. So say, okay, we'll get him to
- 11:47Speaker 3: Sweet sixteen and then I'll you know, try to take
- 11:49Speaker 3: the bracket as serious as possible. But then the way
- 11:52Speaker 3: my bracket worked out is Michigan in the lead eight
- 11:54Speaker 3: plays Michigan State, and so my ego won't allow Michigan
- 11:58Speaker 3: to lose in Michigan State, even though I think they
- 11:59Speaker 3: beat every time this year. Brow Michigan's in the final
- 12:02Speaker 3: four in my bracket, and Michigan makes in the final
- 12:04Speaker 3: four in real life, we're living and also I know
- 12:10Speaker 3: we've obviously we're just gashing up FanDuel, but that futures parlay.
- 12:15Speaker 3: I put Michigan in the Sweet sixteen and Arizona in
- 12:18Speaker 3: the Sweet sixteen.
- 12:19Speaker 2: That's hit.
- 12:20Speaker 3: And all I need is Florida in the Elite eight
- 12:22Speaker 3: and I need Houston the Elite eight, and if those
- 12:25Speaker 3: two hit, I'll hit that parlay.
- 12:26Speaker 2: My futures parlay got shipped on when Saint John's lost. Really,
- 12:30Speaker 2: I was bum when they lost. Y'all are St John's
- 12:34Speaker 2: and me, Yeah, I hate that.
- 12:37Speaker 3: I did a little ghost bet last night with New
- 12:40Speaker 3: Mexico and Michigan State. I wanted New Mexico first to five,
- 12:44Speaker 3: first to ten, first to fifteen. I soloed doze and
- 12:46Speaker 3: then I parlayed it as well, and that hit and
- 12:49Speaker 3: that was like plus three hundred odds or something like that.
- 12:53Speaker 2: Apparently New Mexico was in it the whole entire game.
- 12:55Speaker 3: I came in, I was like, Hey, what happened with
- 12:56Speaker 3: Michigan Michigan State or Michigan State in New Mexico and
- 12:59Speaker 3: the boy so like, yeah, the Mexico was up at
- 13:02Speaker 3: half or right around up at half.
- 13:03Speaker 7: Yeah, we had I found a bet for Saturday, every
- 13:08Speaker 7: team to score over sixty points.
- 13:10Speaker 2: Bro Mitch dropped that in the crew check.
- 13:12Speaker 7: Plus fu plus one thousand hit, so plus one thousand.
- 13:16Speaker 7: I think. I was like, Oh, this is everybody's gonna
- 13:19Speaker 7: the biggest worries McNee State to just shot sixty points
- 13:22Speaker 7: against whoever they were playing. Yeah, the final game of
- 13:26Speaker 7: the day, it's Tennessee versus UCLA. Ucla has that's why
- 13:31Speaker 7: y'all were texting about fifty eight points. They had four
- 13:35Speaker 7: free throws and like with like at fifty six points,
- 13:38Speaker 7: they went one for two on both free throw attempts
- 13:41Speaker 7: and finished with fifty eight.
- 13:43Speaker 2: I was so dog I went to bed just being like, Yo,
- 13:46Speaker 2: Mitch delivered a winner to the boys plus one thousand.
- 13:49Speaker 2: Every team on that day to score over sixty and
- 13:52Speaker 2: every team was hitting bro And I was looking at
- 13:55Speaker 2: Ucla Tennessee, I think around halftime, and I'm like, they're
- 13:58Speaker 2: on pace, like this one's gonna hit, Like these are
- 13:59Speaker 2: two quality teams that are gonna you know again, he
- 14:02Speaker 2: was talking about McNee State like that's kind of the
- 14:03Speaker 2: only one you were worried about. And I woke up
- 14:05Speaker 2: the next morning and saw that the bet didn't hit,
- 14:08Speaker 2: So I opened up. You know, I'm like scrolling through
- 14:10Speaker 2: and I see U c l A has had fifty
- 14:12Speaker 2: eight points. No, it was nuts, man, it was nuts.
- 14:20Speaker 2: But Mitch, that was gonna be a big time winner
- 14:22Speaker 2: for the group chat of the boys, just throwing that
- 14:24Speaker 2: one in there, and that was operating though with the
- 14:26Speaker 2: with the drop links in.
- 14:29Speaker 7: And then I did it again yesterday. It was only
- 14:31Speaker 7: plus two thirty. This time I said it to you, guys,
- 14:33Speaker 7: are like, look at the look at the odds. Now,
- 14:34Speaker 7: it's only plus two thirty. I put ten dollars on
- 14:36Speaker 7: it and it hit, but it's not as big as
- 14:39Speaker 7: like obviously you have.
- 14:41Speaker 2: Plus one thousand every team hitting over sixty. And right
- 14:44Speaker 2: now in our bracket challenge too, we have three of
- 14:46Speaker 2: us tied for second place. JP, I saw you sitting
- 14:50Speaker 2: at the bottom. Man, I got a problem, dude.
- 14:56Speaker 1: Every single March Madness, I do this where I like,
- 14:59Speaker 1: I just get so enthralled with the with the upsets.
- 15:03Speaker 1: I'm like, man, this is gonna be the year, and
- 15:05Speaker 1: I have to be the guy that called it. And
- 15:07Speaker 1: now I'm never the guy that calls it. And I've
- 15:10Speaker 1: ended up lasting like all of my brackets, and I
- 15:12Speaker 1: saw this year only one underdog one in like the
- 15:16Speaker 1: first two rounds, which does not go well for me.
- 15:20Speaker 1: And yeah, so from now on, I think I'm just
- 15:22Speaker 1: gonna hit auto, pick the highest seeds and let it,
- 15:27Speaker 1: let it go.
- 15:28Speaker 3: You Know what I've noticed with these brackets and just
- 15:30Speaker 3: betting in general, is like the more you look into bets,
- 15:34Speaker 3: the more times you're wrong. I feel like, as like
- 15:35Speaker 3: an intuition thing, like you just gonna be like, okay this, okay,
- 15:38Speaker 3: yeah when you start looking at yeah, you look at
- 15:42Speaker 3: the data, but then the we get in the fall.
- 15:43Speaker 3: I mean, at least it was for me this year
- 15:45Speaker 3: in the locker room. I started looking into all these
- 15:47Speaker 3: different things, the weather, all this, and and then your
- 15:50Speaker 3: brain just gets confused. Maybe it's just my brain because yeah,
- 15:56Speaker 3: paralys by analysis. But no, but it's not paralyss because
- 15:58Speaker 3: I'm making the bets.
- 16:00Speaker 2: I'm just losing. Yeah, but you're you're looking so much
- 16:02Speaker 2: into it, you're paralyzing yourself. Yeah.
- 16:04Speaker 3: I got to fly by that seat in my pants
- 16:05Speaker 3: on these things because with this bracket, I really had
- 16:07Speaker 3: no idea what I was doing.
- 16:08Speaker 2: Yeah, first time up until Saturday and Sunday hit like
- 16:11Speaker 2: the first two like Thursday and Friday, they were pretty boring.
- 16:14Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I saw a couple of tweets of people
- 16:16Speaker 3: were saying it was like the worst first round.
- 16:18Speaker 2: Yeah of march Man, I don't think there was any
- 16:20Speaker 2: like comebacks in this first couple of days. Yeah, was
- 16:23Speaker 2: like when people got separated.
- 16:24Speaker 3: The one. I mean watching Michigan as tightly as I
- 16:26Speaker 3: did the first game versus UC San Diego. They were
- 16:28Speaker 3: up by like thirteen, and I think they were down
- 16:31Speaker 3: in the second half.
- 16:32Speaker 2: At one point, end up coming back and winning.
- 16:33Speaker 3: And then Michigan was down against uh who was it
- 16:36Speaker 3: A and m down by like ten points, came back
- 16:40Speaker 3: and won that.
- 16:44Speaker 2: Yeah, that one was close, no doubt. Saint John's was close.
- 16:49Speaker 2: I remember I was watching the ending of that one,
- 16:50Speaker 2: just hoping they were gonna get back in, and.
- 16:52Speaker 1: He saw coach cal Party's quote. He was like, they
- 16:55Speaker 1: had us in the coffin, they just forgot the nails. Yeah,
- 16:58Speaker 1: it's like cal Patino all time.
- 17:01Speaker 2: I know. I love that old that storyline. And then
- 17:03Speaker 2: one of them I forget which coach, but their daughters
- 17:05Speaker 2: fired up like right next to him the whole game,
- 17:08Speaker 2: and they were just within that three four points and
- 17:10Speaker 2: just could not close it even when they had a
- 17:12Speaker 2: chance at it. They just weren't able to close this
- 17:15Speaker 2: the distance.
- 17:15Speaker 3: But Friday for us wasn't all bad. Like you get
- 17:17Speaker 3: yourself a nice little present from Clay Matthews.
- 17:19Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Clay, he delivered. He delivered an incredible photo
- 17:24Speaker 2: and can we get we can throw it up here.
- 17:26Speaker 2: But just getting trucked by rub Kowski. And I remember
- 17:30Speaker 2: that play too, like you.
- 17:31Speaker 3: Just see I'm pretty sure you've talked about that play
- 17:33Speaker 3: multiple times.
- 17:34Speaker 2: Just seeing him in the a gap, knowing it's just
- 17:36Speaker 2: me and him, he just low man wins and he
- 17:39Speaker 2: bulldozed me. However, he did fall down and I got
- 17:43Speaker 2: the tackle and I was in his ear and I
- 17:44Speaker 2: did let him know like, hey, that does go down
- 17:46Speaker 2: as a tackle, but nice hit.
- 17:48Speaker 3: Now, when you're in that situation and you know it's
- 17:50Speaker 3: just you and him and this is a big cat
- 17:52Speaker 3: that's probably gonna try to run you over, you thinking, hey,
- 17:54Speaker 3: just get him down, oh run over in that situation.
- 17:58Speaker 2: No, no, I gotta get him to the ground, because
- 18:00Speaker 2: even before it was happening, I was like, fuck, this
- 18:02Speaker 2: dude's about to give it to me. And just you know,
- 18:04Speaker 2: you're trying to get as low as possible and try
- 18:05Speaker 2: to so.
- 18:06Speaker 3: You know, you've lost a battle because when you see
- 18:08Speaker 3: it coming, you're like, this is about to hurt really bad.
- 18:10Speaker 2: And they were an eleven personnel and he's just a
- 18:12Speaker 2: solo back back there. And you see the pooler and
- 18:15Speaker 2: you go with the polar and you're just thinking, like
- 18:18Speaker 2: in there hand and this boy the ball, and this
- 18:20Speaker 2: big boy the ball. Right now it's just you and him. Yeah,
- 18:24Speaker 2: and a couple of blades of grass.

- 18:28Speaker 3: through that, all right.
- 18:29Speaker 2: No, catch a little he but yeah I got him
- 18:32Speaker 2: on the ground, right, I mean, think him out of
- 18:33Speaker 2: game two yards but he's on the ground.
- 18:35Speaker 3: You look at a couple of you wouldn't have got him down. Yeah,
- 18:37Speaker 3: he would have ran your ass over and got six more.
- 18:39Speaker 2: Yeah, but I love that he wrote me a little note.
- 18:42Speaker 2: Clay delivered cloth gift. Shut up roup Kowski. He was
- 18:46Speaker 2: a stud. Yeah, yeah, Clay Matthews Delaney came through. We
- 18:51Speaker 2: were just we were just in it watching games. Your
- 18:54Speaker 2: soul kind of gets sucked out of you when you're
- 18:56Speaker 2: just sitting there watching games all day, right, Because when
- 19:00Speaker 2: I got out of him, were home over the weekend,
- 19:01Speaker 2: like your boy, you know me, I was jumping into
- 19:03Speaker 2: the madness march madteness. I did see you tweeting about it.
- 19:10Speaker 2: Shout out of Nebraska, dude, shout out Nebraska. It's been
- 19:12Speaker 2: their best performance in the NC Double A Tournament in
- 19:15Speaker 2: the history of the of the program. They had three
- 19:18Speaker 2: guys in the finals. Brock Hardy he lost and surprising too,
- 19:23Speaker 2: but Jesse Mendez, he was a beast from Ohio State.
- 19:26Speaker 2: He was the defending national champion, but Hardy had beat
- 19:29Speaker 2: him in the big tens, and Hardy started off strong.
- 19:32Speaker 2: He was up on him five to one, debatably six
- 19:33Speaker 2: to one. They kind of went to the They kind
- 19:35Speaker 2: of went to the review to see if he got
- 19:36Speaker 2: like an extra point in a near faull because he
- 19:38Speaker 2: put him on his back after he took him down.
- 19:39Speaker 2: So he's up five to one. Jesse Mendez comes back
- 19:41Speaker 2: and beats him, so that one stuck, sucked, and that's
- 19:43Speaker 2: what started it. But then Taylor and love It they
- 19:48Speaker 2: both won theirs and it was it was all time.
- 19:51Speaker 2: Like Nebraska got second at the tournament. Coach Manning got
- 19:53Speaker 2: Coach of the Year for the n C Double A's.
- 19:56Speaker 2: But it was fun. Bro did you see uh, did
- 19:58Speaker 2: you see that heavyweight upset.
- 20:00Speaker 3: When I was with you is when I saw wrestling,
- 20:03Speaker 3: when you forced us to take one of the TV's
- 20:05Speaker 3: and turn on the wrestling. Is the amount of wrestling
- 20:07Speaker 3: I watched this weekend.
- 20:08Speaker 2: Bro, Who is it White Hendricksons? Yeah, Gable Stevenson, White Hendrickson.
- 20:14Speaker 2: So this is the heavyweight bro. When I was young,
- 20:16Speaker 2: we went to the NCAA's when it was in Saint Louis.
- 20:18Speaker 2: I got to see brock Lesnar when he was a
- 20:20Speaker 2: heavyweight wrestle against the cat from brock Lesnar. Was that Minnesota?
- 20:24Speaker 2: This cat was at Iowa and brock Lesnar wins like
- 20:27Speaker 2: four to two. It might have been an overtime too,
- 20:29Speaker 2: but you just see it. That's brocol Bro and he's
- 20:32Speaker 2: just back there doing his like brock Lesnar jump. And
- 20:34Speaker 2: I just remember as a kid and I was like
- 20:36Speaker 2: up in the nosebleeds too, like yo, this dude is
- 20:38Speaker 2: a badass. But the heavyweight matchup this year is Gable
- 20:41Speaker 2: Stevenson versus White Hendrickson. Gable Stevenson. Just for some background
- 20:45Speaker 2: Olympic gold medalists? Is he a two time I thought Panamara?
- 20:49Speaker 2: Is that the same thing?
- 20:51Speaker 7: I thought?
- 20:52Speaker 2: He's been a gold medals, like he's won the Worlds.
- 20:54Speaker 2: He's like a four time world champion based on age.
- 20:56Speaker 2: He's been winning world since he was like sixteen or
- 20:58Speaker 2: seventeen years old and was like a five time All Americans.
- 21:02Speaker 2: He's the best. He is the best. He hasn't given
- 21:05Speaker 2: up a takedown since twenty twenty. Giving up a takedown.
- 21:09Speaker 2: You know, when they take him down, they wrestle, they
- 21:11Speaker 2: take him to the ground, ress like three two whatever. Yeah,
- 21:14Speaker 2: he hasn't given up a takedown since twenty twenty.
- 21:17Speaker 3: Okay, he's just giving up what he has him on.
- 21:18Speaker 2: A takedown they like when they're neutral, they're both on
- 21:21Speaker 2: their feet. He has not lost or given up a
- 21:23Speaker 2: takedown since twenty twenty. He hasn't lost since what twenty nineteen.
- 21:27Speaker 2: He goes on like he's won the gold medal. He's older,
- 21:29Speaker 2: so he kind of came down. He's like a twenty
- 21:30Speaker 2: four year old wrestling in the championships. But he tried
- 21:34Speaker 2: the WWE. He didn't get int the WW. I think
- 21:37Speaker 2: it lasted like one match and they kind of like, hey,
- 21:39Speaker 2: this isn't working out. He tried, like I forget the
- 21:42Speaker 2: cat that played for the New England Patriots. But a
- 21:44Speaker 2: wrestler that went to the New England Patriots and played
- 21:46Speaker 2: and had a little bit of a career transition from
- 21:48Speaker 2: wrestler to football player. Gable tried that with the Buffalo Bills,
- 21:52Speaker 2: didn't make the squad in training camp. I think that
- 21:54Speaker 2: was last year. But anyway, he goes back to school
- 21:56Speaker 2: and again the best wrestler in the world, and this dude,
- 22:01Speaker 2: White Hendrickson beats him in the last seconds and the
- 22:04Speaker 2: place was pandemonium, bro because again, this is the best
- 22:08Speaker 2: cat in the world. Like, no one's thinking that White
- 22:10Speaker 2: Hendrickson's gonna upset him. And I think, two, what no
- 22:12Speaker 2: in White Hendrickson. He's like a second lieutenant.
- 22:15Speaker 1: Air Force is what he transferred from Air Force to
- 22:18Speaker 1: Okay State. And I also think he's twenty four too.
- 22:22Speaker 1: So people were trying to get on Gable. Stevenson, you
- 22:24Speaker 1: go lose to this college kid, YadA YadA, YadA.
- 22:27Speaker 2: Yeah, these are grown ass men, dude. And obviously you
- 22:30Speaker 2: have the COVID years, so people are probably getting their
- 22:31Speaker 2: extra years because when when does COVID Year's end.
- 22:34Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 22:34Speaker 2: I think it might be this year. This is like
- 22:36Speaker 2: last year because there was one cat I think it
- 22:40Speaker 2: was Sarachi from Penn State. He's a five time national champion,
- 22:43Speaker 2: the only five time national champion of all time. But yeah,
- 22:46Speaker 2: White Hendrickson, he stands up, he wins, he goes and
- 22:48Speaker 2: salutes Donald Trump. But the place was electric because nobody
- 22:52Speaker 2: that was That was one of the biggest upsets of
- 22:54Speaker 2: not the biggest upset in wrestling history, and in the
- 22:57Speaker 2: heavyweight division. Like it was just it was bro. It
- 23:01Speaker 2: was awesome. It was awesome to watch.
- 23:02Speaker 3: But it was so interesting that you talking about your
- 23:05Speaker 3: relationship with wrestling, Like you go back and you watch
- 23:07Speaker 3: this and you're like, all about it. You dove into
- 23:09Speaker 3: all the information. This guy transfertion, may are forced to,
- 23:12Speaker 3: okay state, this guy went to the ww.
- 23:14Speaker 2: All these things.
- 23:15Speaker 3: But then when I talk about you as an individual wrestling,
- 23:17Speaker 3: you're like, it always starts with I fucking hated it.
- 23:19Speaker 2: I did hate wrestling. Yeah is it really?
- 23:23Speaker 3: Oh yeah, bro, practice is harder or losing, because I've
- 23:26Speaker 3: always heard like cutting weight is the hardest part of
- 23:28Speaker 3: the worst part of the whole thing.
- 23:30Speaker 2: Cutting weight sucks. Practice sucks, Like these dudes are.
- 23:33Speaker 3: Just why is practice stuff? You just keep going You're.
- 23:35Speaker 2: Just drilling for two hours at a time. You're drilling.
- 23:38Speaker 2: The workouts are crazy. The coaches are psycho pass. Like
- 23:41Speaker 2: one time, like because uh little bro Cody wrestling at Nebraska.
- 23:46Speaker 2: Like one of their workouts one day was they had
- 23:48Speaker 2: a forty five pound plate and the coaches just drive
- 23:51Speaker 2: them like a few miles off campus. They drop them off.
- 23:53Speaker 2: They have a forty five pound plate and they're like
- 23:54Speaker 2: get back to campus. And these dudes are just grinding
- 23:59Speaker 2: all day long. They're just embracing this. You're living at
- 24:02Speaker 2: this height for months out of the year. Yeah, because
- 24:04Speaker 2: you're just you're just low. You're just you're wrestling. You're
- 24:07Speaker 2: wrestling every day there all the time.
- 24:09Speaker 3: It's amazing how wrestlers understand the jav did you wrestle.
- 24:13Speaker 2: Well? Like how do you know about this? Like you
- 24:15Speaker 2: talking like you did it well?
- 24:16Speaker 1: So our high school, I know. It sounds crazy. Being
- 24:18Speaker 1: in the Southeast, it's like one of the best wrestling
- 24:21Speaker 1: programs in like the country. They've broken records for most
- 24:24Speaker 1: state championships, most regional championships, and it's like similar stories
- 24:29Speaker 1: where in high school the coach took them to like
- 24:32Speaker 1: this arcade place. It was like, hey, guys like no
- 24:35Speaker 1: practice whatever, whatever, and then he leaves and they're like, wait,
- 24:39Speaker 1: how do we get back. He's like, you run back,
- 24:42Speaker 1: made him run back and so. And I didn't even
- 24:45Speaker 1: wrestle this guy. He could. He like, you know, taught
- 24:48Speaker 1: science or something. And he had on a state championship
- 24:50Speaker 1: ring and I wasn't listening one time and he turned
- 24:52Speaker 1: it around and he asked me a question and I
- 24:54Speaker 1: didn't answer it, and he was just like like slaps
- 24:57Speaker 1: me on the back of the head with the ring
- 24:59Speaker 1: turned inside. He's like, you gotta you gotta do better.
- 25:02Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't even like you just slap me
- 25:05Speaker 1: in my head with his ring.
- 25:06Speaker 2: Shit.
- 25:07Speaker 1: So how he treated the actual wrestlers, it's crazy.
- 25:10Speaker 2: Yeah, I just respect the sport. I respect the culture
- 25:13Speaker 2: of it. I respect like what goes into it. So
- 25:15Speaker 2: when I see these guys win in they're celebrating with
- 25:17Speaker 2: their families, like just knowing having the close up lens
- 25:21Speaker 2: that I had with wrestling because Cody was so good
- 25:23Speaker 2: at it, and I did it up to sixth grade.
- 25:24Speaker 2: Quit had to do it again in my junior year
- 25:26Speaker 2: because my parents forced me to, Like, I just know
- 25:28Speaker 2: the culture so well and I know like what goes
- 25:31Speaker 2: into it. So it's just fun to see because it's
- 25:33Speaker 2: like any movie, any boxer, MMA fighter, any behind the
- 25:36Speaker 2: scenes stuff that you see with these guys, like these
- 25:38Speaker 2: wrestlers like eat, breeze, sleep, die for wrestling, and you
- 25:43Speaker 2: always know, like throughout the entire year, you know like
- 25:46Speaker 2: where you're ranked in state, you know where you're ranked
- 25:48Speaker 2: in the nation, and you just know every duel you
- 25:51Speaker 2: go to, like who's who in the zoo any tournament,
- 25:53Speaker 2: Like growing up, it'd be like the Triple Crown winner.
- 25:56Speaker 2: Cody won the Triple Crown one year, where it's like
- 25:58Speaker 2: Cliff Keene Tulsa, I think Reno or something like that.
- 26:01Speaker 2: But you go to these massive tournaments that are national
- 26:03Speaker 2: tournaments because you Cody won. You wrestle around the state
- 26:06Speaker 2: and you go to all these tournaments you kind of
- 26:07Speaker 2: like ranked in the state. But when you go to
- 26:09Speaker 2: these national tournaments and there's so many people there, like
- 26:12Speaker 2: the wrestling parents, the families, everybody is there, and yeah,
- 26:17Speaker 2: then you you're like you're like, hey, Cody's got to
- 26:19Speaker 2: wrestle somebody from Pennsylvania. Will's got to you know, I'm
- 26:21Speaker 2: wrestling somebody from Minnesota. You're wrestling all around the country,
- 26:24Speaker 2: and so I just know the culture of it, and
- 26:26Speaker 2: so I just respected so much that when I see
- 26:28Speaker 2: it on and I see how much I followed Cody
- 26:30Speaker 2: and watching Nebraska wrestling in Jordan Burrows, he went to Nebraska.
- 26:35Speaker 2: He's like the considered the goat of wrestling, one of
- 26:37Speaker 2: the goats of wrestling. So I've just always followed it.
- 26:39Speaker 2: I've always loved it. Like I know, my dad's always
- 26:41Speaker 2: tuned in. So when we were on the phone Saturday,
- 26:43Speaker 2: we're kind of chopping it up about you know, who's
- 26:45Speaker 2: going to be in the finals to night, Cody's fired
- 26:47Speaker 2: up because he's like, Yo, this is the best Nebraska's
- 26:49Speaker 2: ever performed in the tournament. So it just it like
- 26:52Speaker 2: fires me up. That's Cody. Love watching it. Oh, Cody
- 26:55Speaker 2: was a monster. Cody was a senior national champion coming
- 26:57Speaker 2: out of high school, so senior nationals.
- 27:00Speaker 3: So Nebraska was like, oh, we got ourself as a dog,
- 27:02Speaker 3: Like we're probably gonna win a national championship with this kid.
- 27:04Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, those are the types of caliber guys
- 27:06Speaker 2: that are going to wrestle there. And it was like,
- 27:08Speaker 2: you know, when we get recruited, we drove to Missou,
- 27:11Speaker 2: Iowa Nebraska in one week, and Cody and I are
- 27:14Speaker 2: both getting recruited at each spot because he was a
- 27:16Speaker 2: dog at wrestling, like he wrestled for Team Missouri. Pennsylvania
- 27:20Speaker 2: was always really nice New Jersey, Iowa.
- 27:22Speaker 3: Yeah, what is like the number one Nember one state?
- 27:25Speaker 2: Probably the Northeast. I mean you got you have Iowa, Pennsylvania.
- 27:28Speaker 3: I was gonna say, like Iowa or Minnesota. I think
- 27:30Speaker 3: like Minnesota has always got like.
- 27:31Speaker 2: Southern Minnesota's got a lot like the Yeah, the North,
- 27:34Speaker 2: the Northeast, like those are the dogs of wrestling, like
- 27:36Speaker 2: Penn State. Even though Nebraska and Oklahoma State performed really
- 27:39Speaker 2: well in this tournament, like the upside of White Hendrickson,
- 27:41Speaker 2: they had some guys kind of us upset some dudes
- 27:44Speaker 2: in the finals, but Penn State is like far and above,
- 27:48Speaker 2: Like their head coach is Kale Sanderson, which is one
- 27:49Speaker 2: of the most accomplished wrestlers of all time, and he
- 27:52Speaker 2: just has this program that they just breed a college
- 27:55Speaker 2: wrestling team winning year in and year out. Like everybody
- 27:58Speaker 2: talking about Oklahoma State and Nebraska how well they did,
- 28:00Speaker 2: but they weren't even close to getting the national championship
- 28:03Speaker 2: because Penn State just wins like every year.
- 28:06Speaker 3: What so you know, like like with footballer's like oh, height, strength, whatever,
- 28:10Speaker 3: like the the attributes that guys have to be a
- 28:12Speaker 3: good football player. Like what what are good attributes for
- 28:14Speaker 3: a wrestler? Like a psychotic? You gotta be a psycho?
- 28:19Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean your mentality, it starts there. But dude's mobility, flexibility,
- 28:23Speaker 2: their strength, Like these guys can deadlift like over five
- 28:26Speaker 2: six hundred pounds and weigh you know, they're they're weighing
- 28:28Speaker 2: around like one to sixty one seventy.
- 28:30Speaker 7: They're they're doing. Like there's a guy I think a
- 28:32Speaker 7: year or two ago won the national championship on two
- 28:35Speaker 7: torn acls.
- 28:36Speaker 2: Like that was Spencer Lee. He's been on the bus.
- 28:39Speaker 7: Yeah, the psychopath type.
- 28:42Speaker 2: He's been on the bus. Yeah.
- 28:44Speaker 7: Like those those are the kind of that's what makes
- 28:47Speaker 7: good wrestlers is people that do not have any regard
- 28:50Speaker 7: for their body like like oh, it's just it's just
- 28:52Speaker 7: my knee. It's fine, I'll get a fixed later.
- 28:54Speaker 2: And they're just skill their skill set, like the way
- 28:56Speaker 2: that they're able to change levels. Like if you were
- 28:58Speaker 2: to watch like Jesse Mendez as the guy who beat
- 29:00Speaker 2: Hardy for Nebraska. He wrestles for Aha State. Their ability
- 29:04Speaker 2: to like change levels and like mess with your head
- 29:06Speaker 2: and the next thing you know, they're on your ankle.
- 29:07Speaker 2: Like their riding ability. It's like, you know, when you're
- 29:09Speaker 2: on top, it's and you're asking, why doesn't the guy
- 29:11Speaker 2: just stand up if he wants to get out. It's
- 29:13Speaker 2: like some of these guys are incredible, just controlling the hips,
- 29:17Speaker 2: throwing in legs, like wrestling on top. It's it's a
- 29:20Speaker 2: crazy sport, bro. It's like, what's the dude's name from

- 33:55Speaker 2: like that one JP, JP, That's what I'm talking about. Uh,
- 34:00Speaker 2: I'm gonna throw it back some nostalgia pack my shout out,
- 34:06Speaker 2: no free shout out, My shout out both free. Shout
- 34:08Speaker 2: out goes to when you were a young pup and
- 34:12Speaker 2: you're just laying in your room and a fans on
- 34:15Speaker 2: on the ceiling and you're able to grab that one
- 34:20Speaker 2: blade and track it all the way around, and you
- 34:22Speaker 2: lose it, and you keep trying to find that one blade.
- 34:24Speaker 2: But when you connect and you find that one blade,
- 34:27Speaker 2: it's you fork that might be.
- 34:32Speaker 3: Dude that that had me in such a blender As
- 34:34Speaker 3: a kid like, I was so obsessed with finding the
- 34:36Speaker 3: one blade when it was off. One time I took
- 34:38Speaker 3: a marker and I put a green line on one
- 34:41Speaker 3: of the blades, so when I would lay, when I
- 34:43Speaker 3: would lay in my bed, I try to find the
- 34:45Speaker 3: green line.
- 34:45Speaker 2: I love how you did a marker and not just
- 34:47Speaker 2: like a piece of tape. Yeah.
- 34:48Speaker 3: Yeah, I was just rooting the house. Knowing what I
- 34:51Speaker 3: know now about homes, I would have never have done it.
- 34:52Speaker 2: And then when your brain can't keep up with one,
- 34:54Speaker 2: you just think to yourself, maybe there's a level to
- 34:56Speaker 2: where the human mind just can't and maybe out there
- 34:59Speaker 2: I got slow it down a little bit and start
- 35:01Speaker 2: tracking it. You think to yourself, I wonder if everybody
- 35:03Speaker 2: else can do this, or am I the one guy
- 35:05Speaker 2: who can track the blade going around?
- 35:07Speaker 3: I love that shout out in a free shadowt I
- 35:09Speaker 3: will also do a nostalgic one. And it came to
- 35:11Speaker 3: me on Friday. Shout shout out bufree, shout out bo
- 35:15Speaker 3: shout out, bau free shout out. I'm sitting outside. I
- 35:19Speaker 3: set the entire campsite for the kids in the backyard
- 35:21Speaker 3: this weekend.
- 35:21Speaker 2: Try to do it.
- 35:22Speaker 3: Last weekend there was a big storm that took place
- 35:24Speaker 3: and ended up we had to pack it all in
- 35:25Speaker 3: and go back in the house. Still wasn't a bad deal.
- 35:28Speaker 3: But this week we were able to go outside, get
- 35:31Speaker 3: the campsite going and everything like that, and I had
- 35:32Speaker 3: a little fire pit. Watching my children, like Neanderthals discover
- 35:37Speaker 3: fire is one of the most fun things to watch
- 35:40Speaker 3: because it takes you back as a kid when they
- 35:42Speaker 3: see the fire. It mesmerizes everybody, even as an adult.
- 35:46Speaker 3: You sit there and stare at the fire, the dancing,
- 35:47Speaker 3: the smoke coming up, it comes into your face. You say,
- 35:50Speaker 3: white rabbit, White rabbit, white rabbit, and then it goes
- 35:52Speaker 3: away and you think, Yo, how the fuck does that
- 35:54Speaker 3: work like that?
- 35:55Speaker 2: It's just magic.
- 35:56Speaker 3: But my kids would grab sticks and they would put
- 36:00Speaker 3: the stick in the fire and then pull it out,
- 36:02Speaker 3: and to see the transfer from fire to the stick
- 36:05Speaker 3: blew their minds to the point where like it was
- 36:08Speaker 3: like an hour and a half of them just getting sticks,
- 36:10Speaker 3: catching off fire, blowing it out, doing fun designs and
- 36:14Speaker 3: putting it back. So shout out, Beaufree, Shout out to
- 36:18Speaker 3: the discovery of Fire Here you Go.

- 38:06Speaker 2: guys been leveling up your life since the Ashton The
- 38:10Speaker 2: Ashton Hall video has been going viral.
- 38:12Speaker 6: Yeah, apparently that guy got evicted. I just saw on Twitter.
- 38:19Speaker 2: What everybody's praying on a downfall.
- 38:21Speaker 6: He got evicted from his apartment and apparently he's five
- 38:23Speaker 6: to five.
- 38:24Speaker 2: So I'm not hating.
- 38:25Speaker 8: I'm just.
- 38:27Speaker 6: Facts I saw on Twitter, and no, I mean that guy,
- 38:30Speaker 6: he's teaching us all life lessons. But that's just what
- 38:33Speaker 6: I'm seeing on Twitter, and I hope it's not true.
- 38:35Speaker 3: The most incredible thing to me about that guy is
- 38:38Speaker 3: when I watched his video. He gets to the pool
- 38:40Speaker 3: and he goes to dive in the pool at seven
- 38:42Speaker 3: thirty six, there's not a splash until seven forty. The
- 38:46Speaker 3: ability to stay in the air for four minutes is incredible,
- 38:50Speaker 3: absolutely incredible. This guy is different, man, He is different.
- 38:54Speaker 2: Schumer's telling me, shum, you think it's satire.
- 38:59Speaker 3: If he is sat it's some of the best satire
- 39:01Speaker 3: I've ever seen. But sadly, I'm not sure it's satire.
- 39:05Speaker 2: I think I think he's for real. I think he's
- 39:07Speaker 2: for real. I think now that it's going so viral,
- 39:10Speaker 2: I'm sure there'll be some satire with it.
- 39:12Speaker 1: So I don't know. Because the one that set me
- 39:15Speaker 1: off was his basketball one, when he's putting up shots
- 39:18Speaker 1: and the guy's just standing there in the suit, hands
- 39:20Speaker 1: him that classic blue water bottle, and then at the
- 39:23Speaker 1: very end of the video he goes and hands him
- 39:26Speaker 1: a big slice of watermelon, and then it cuts. I'm like, okay,
- 39:30Speaker 1: I think this guy watermelon's insane, So I'm like, okay,
- 39:33Speaker 1: this guy he's he's strolling us.
- 39:36Speaker 2: He might I think he's been doing it for a
- 39:38Speaker 2: while and now it's y'all started to catch fire, so
- 39:40Speaker 2: he's probably.
- 39:41Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be there's on pace to be
- 39:43Speaker 1: the most viewed video on.
- 39:45Speaker 2: Bro when I'm real, Yeah, on Saturday or yesterday when
- 39:49Speaker 2: I was looking, I saw it at like five hundred
- 39:51Speaker 2: million views on X five hundred million.
- 39:55Speaker 1: And then he's they're like dropping all these other videos
- 39:58Speaker 1: of people doing it. They're like the spawns are popping
- 40:00Speaker 1: up everywhere, and those other people are more serious, like
- 40:03Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey. His that guy was like being dead serious.
- 40:07Speaker 2: I think, oh yeah, yeah, I think some of these
- 40:09Speaker 2: guys are dead ass serious.
- 40:10Speaker 1: I'm gonna release one.
- 40:11Speaker 3: It's good to see Christian McCaffrey buy in though. It's
- 40:14Speaker 3: good to see him buy into trend like that.
- 40:16Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 40:16Speaker 1: Did you see that guy the one that Garrett, the
- 40:18Speaker 1: dude that originally went famous for it last year drew
- 40:23Speaker 1: He kind of stepped back up into the spotlight. He
- 40:25Speaker 1: was like, hang on, yeh, he made a trader Joe's run.
- 40:29Speaker 2: Well, you know how, he probably seeing it pop off
- 40:31Speaker 2: so much, so much bigger than the one that he had.
- 40:33Speaker 2: He's like, I got to get back in this thing.
- 40:35Speaker 1: Like he was like, I'm just trying to remain humble.
- 40:39Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 40:39Speaker 1: No, that's another guy. That's yeah, it's over. Goal is
- 40:46Speaker 1: to get invited to that linko jip. You got one
- 40:50Speaker 1: dropping tomorrow. Yeah, I got one dropping tomorrow. I wrote
- 40:52Speaker 1: out to my stuff today. I might do this every day,
- 40:55Speaker 1: but you know, it's good to have it written.
- 40:56Speaker 2: Yeah, you have the structure in place now, something to
- 40:58Speaker 2: show the war to do something so much.
- 41:00Speaker 3: You don't need to have a written down, but it's
- 41:01Speaker 3: good to have a written down of this situation.
- 41:03Speaker 2: I might have to. I was thinking about one for
- 41:04Speaker 2: trash Day as well. Yeah. Yeah, your face, I will
- 41:10Speaker 2: say it felt like my skin was a little softer
- 41:12Speaker 2: after I did do it.
- 41:14Speaker 3: Apparently back in the day, where you put a banana
- 41:16Speaker 3: pilll on your teeth's supposed to whiten your teeth.
- 41:18Speaker 2: I was seeing, h I was seeing on the internet.
- 41:21Speaker 3: You take you put it on there? No, no, yeah,
- 41:24Speaker 3: you actually have to try to ingest the entire banana.
- 41:27Speaker 2: Like apparently biscuits they got some nutrients that help like
- 41:29Speaker 2: cleanse your skin, and it's apparently the big thing to
- 41:33Speaker 2: keep to keep zits off your face. Apparently you're saying.
- 41:38Speaker 1: Allegedly very many black people with acne.
- 41:41Speaker 2: That is a very good point.
- 41:44Speaker 1: Black don't crackde.
- 41:47Speaker 3: Black guys really do have the best skin tone. They
- 41:50Speaker 3: and they were the only ones that were focused in
- 41:51Speaker 3: the locker room on their their skin routine.
- 41:53Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 41:53Speaker 3: I mean you see him after they were doing all
- 41:55Speaker 3: the SuDS everything. White guys going there getting the cold
- 41:57Speaker 3: tub and be like that counts.
- 41:58Speaker 2: Yeah, you start the question, am going to shower? And
- 42:00Speaker 2: then by the end of the year, like all my
- 42:02Speaker 2: hair is like getting honestly kind of chemically burnt off of.
- 42:05Speaker 1: My legs got split ends on his split then you see, uh.
- 42:11Speaker 2: I'd see Rashaan Evans, he'd have a jar of like
- 42:13Speaker 2: coconut oil and he'd just be putting that la justlather
- 42:16Speaker 2: or not.
- 42:17Speaker 3: Delaney Delaney was always a cat. After he got out
- 42:19Speaker 3: of the sauna, he'd have like these gloves he put
- 42:21Speaker 3: on his hands to bathe himself with his own like soap.
- 42:24Speaker 2: Dude.
- 42:25Speaker 1: I learned about the gloves too.
- 42:26Speaker 2: The gloves are crazy.
- 42:27Speaker 1: Last three years, I was like, you've got that gloves
- 42:30Speaker 1: in the shower?
- 42:31Speaker 2: Yeah? Wild, Maybe out there and you just you know,
- 42:33Speaker 2: you just stared. Delanny. There, here we go the thing,
- 42:35Speaker 2: the AI overview. Yes, banana peels can offer some potential
- 42:38Speaker 2: benefits for skin, including acting as a natural exfoliant, soothing irritation,
- 42:42Speaker 2: and potentially reducing the appearance the appearance of wrinkles in
- 42:46Speaker 2: dark circles.
- 42:48Speaker 1: We got to get it to ten thousand.
- 42:50Speaker 2: That was my favorite plans.
- 42:51Speaker 3: Man, If he can buy stock and bananas right now,
- 42:53Speaker 3: it's about to go up.

- 43:05Speaker 6: You know how twitter can belayed college.
- 43:09Speaker 1: Al Corn State.
- 43:10Speaker 3: I think imagine him, Imagine him coming down the middle
- 43:13Speaker 3: in an a gap, wide open break. You get him down. Yeah,
- 43:16Speaker 3: if anything, if you prove it history, you'd get him.
- 43:18Speaker 3: That'd be a tackle. But breaking him, I don't know
- 43:21Speaker 3: about that. I do not know about that.
- 43:24Speaker 2: What else do we got? Boh, it's time for me

- 43:43Speaker 2: a potential.
- 43:43Speaker 3: Winner, neighbors, Tennessee.
- 43:45Speaker 2: Yeah, neighbors. But bro, New York is not. You got Washington,

- 43:54Speaker 2: this shit.
- 43:54Speaker 3: Washington their backups, Marcus, the Eagles. Who's the Eagles back up?
- 43:59Speaker 1: It was, Yeah, they let it go.
- 44:02Speaker 3: If you're Jamis Winston, you want to go to a
- 44:04Speaker 3: place that has some question marks at quarterbacks so you
- 44:06Speaker 3: have the opportunity to play.
- 44:08Speaker 2: Yeah, but the Giants, I get you there. He just
- 44:11Speaker 2: he just did that with the Browns. Yeah, and he
- 44:13Speaker 2: did well ish I mean yeah, but they sucked.
- 44:16Speaker 3: Still, if he can get on the field and play,
- 44:18Speaker 3: I guess if you can get on the field and play,
- 44:20Speaker 3: keep the dream alive.
- 44:23Speaker 2: Epic snow game against the Steelers, Aaron Rodgers went to
- 44:26Speaker 2: Pittsburgh and left without a contract. That that standard that
- 44:30Speaker 2: sounds about right. Yeah, I think I think at.
- 44:32Speaker 3: This point with Minnesota saying, hey, we're all good on that.
- 44:34Speaker 3: The Steelers is the best.
- 44:35Speaker 2: Move for Aaron Rodgers. He'll be in the black and yellow.
- 44:37Speaker 2: He needs to be in the black and yellow. Yeah,
- 44:38Speaker 2: he will be.
- 44:39Speaker 3: Did I read this correctly that Colorado and Syracuse are
- 44:42Speaker 3: seeking permission for joint practices in a spring game?
- 44:45Speaker 2: Yes? How do we feel? That is actually electric? I
- 44:48Speaker 2: like it. I like it too.
- 44:50Speaker 3: I like it as well. I think they don't play
- 44:52Speaker 3: this year, right, that's awesome. That's what you want to
- 44:56Speaker 3: get in there practicing, practicings each other. That's a good
- 44:58Speaker 3: move by Dion. That's a right move by Dan.
- 45:00Speaker 2: And who's the who's the head coach for Syracuse? Well
- 45:04Speaker 2: known guy?
- 45:06Speaker 1: You know, I forget his name. Came from Georgia.
- 45:11Speaker 2: He came. I was gonna say he came from Georgia.
- 45:14Speaker 2: Coach fran Brown. Brown, he just tweeted him. Uh. Diane
- 45:18Speaker 2: was talking about it, talking about joint practices, and coach
- 45:21Speaker 2: Brown tweeted at him saying, like, let's get it going.
- 45:23Speaker 2: That would be I like the move. I feel like
- 45:25Speaker 2: it's a way like I get on the new generation
- 45:28Speaker 2: of nil and not like the portal everything else. But
- 45:31Speaker 2: just competing in the spring and just keeping your guys hungry.
- 45:33Speaker 2: I love the move.
- 45:34Speaker 3: It'll be interesting for those players that young to be
- 45:36Speaker 3: able to go into a joint practice and see how
- 45:38Speaker 3: many fights take place, because it's gonna be it is
- 45:41Speaker 3: gonna be tough to not start swinging on fellas during
- 45:44Speaker 3: that spring practice.
- 45:45Speaker 2: You know, there's not a game for years.
- 45:47Speaker 3: It feels like months. Yeah, it's brutal, at least in
- 45:50Speaker 3: the NFL, like you're in August, Like, okay, a couple
- 45:52Speaker 3: weeks from now, we're playing a real game. But to
- 45:54Speaker 3: do that in the middle of the spring will be tough. Yeah, yeah,
- 45:57Speaker 3: I like it though. I like that move, all right.
- 46:00Speaker 3: It's the point where I try I put my phone.
- 46:02Speaker 2: Severance finale, you talk SEVERNCE finale, how cameras on on
- 46:14Speaker 2: that one? Should we should we have Taylor? You know,
- 46:17Speaker 2: to get out. I'll go shit with g again. I'll
- 46:20Speaker 2: go pee do you guys are your thing, But let's
- 46:22Speaker 2: keep it out a timer. Come on, JP, get to
- 46:27Speaker 2: the chair.
- 46:28Speaker 1: JP's pissed.
- 46:30Speaker 2: And shout out everybody in the comments saying they love
- 46:32Speaker 2: the Severance talk. You guys heard me last week. All
- 46:34Speaker 2: I needed was one but many came in because everybody's
- 46:37Speaker 2: tuned into the most popular show on TV.
- 46:40Speaker 1: Where Do We start?
- 46:42Speaker 2: You hated it?
- 46:42Speaker 1: I didn't hate it. The episode was entertaining, but there
- 46:46Speaker 1: was parts of the episode that were frustrating and that
- 46:48Speaker 1: I did hate.
- 46:50Speaker 2: What's the biggest thing you hate?
- 46:52Speaker 1: So when Mark is talking to himself, I was made
- 46:57Speaker 1: aware of something that pissed me off even more after
- 47:00Speaker 1: For the fact, it was a really cool scene, but
- 47:02Speaker 1: I felt it dragged on. And then when he's trying
- 47:04Speaker 1: to explain to his any like that reintegration is real.
- 47:10Speaker 1: Why wouldn't he say, Hey, you know your best friend
- 47:12Speaker 1: PD from work, he reintegrated. I met him on the outside.
- 47:18Speaker 2: It's a great point. He's kind of in the moment,
- 47:20Speaker 2: you know what I mean, he's kind of scatterbrained focusing.
- 47:22Speaker 2: They're both just kind of focusing on themselves. Yeah.
- 47:26Speaker 1: And then I don't know.
- 47:27Speaker 2: What's funny too on swapping back and forth, just going
- 47:31Speaker 2: in and out. I think it'd be so funny you're
- 47:32Speaker 2: just sitting there getting frustrated with yourself because Marquess was
- 47:36Speaker 2: bringing up some points, like my man, I'm a person too. Yeah,
- 47:40Speaker 2: but for like any.
- 47:41Speaker 1: Mark, any Mark barely a person.
- 47:44Speaker 2: I'm with you, I'm with you. It's kind of like,
- 47:46Speaker 2: but you can't talk to him that way, sure you can't, Like, hey, bro,
- 47:49Speaker 2: we are the same guy, Like you're going to be
- 47:51Speaker 2: so happy because we're together. But in Any's mind, he
- 47:55Speaker 2: doesn't have to leave, Like why do I have to
- 47:57Speaker 2: trust you?
- 47:58Speaker 1: We saw the power of the p on full display? Yeah,
- 48:03Speaker 1: horniness one, bro.
- 48:05Speaker 2: That's what made me most sad is when he very end,
- 48:09Speaker 2: when he goes to Helly Jack.
- 48:12Speaker 6: I'm nine nine percent sure that is not Helly, just
- 48:16Speaker 6: because they they had made the point to have their
- 48:20Speaker 6: goodbye in the office and they're like, I'll see you
- 48:23Speaker 6: at the equator, and then all of a sudden, the
- 48:26Speaker 6: one look that Helly or Helena gives is like that's
- 48:30Speaker 6: not the look Helly would normally give. It's that real
- 48:32Speaker 6: devious kind of like I'm up to something. And so
- 48:37Speaker 6: why would they say their goodbyes only for her to
- 48:39Speaker 6: show up right at the very.
- 48:41Speaker 2: End and then run off.
- 48:43Speaker 6: And also me and Cooper talking about this when Milkshake
- 48:47Speaker 6: comes up and he's talking with Keir like that creepy
- 48:50Speaker 6: wax figure, Like that wasn't just some recorded audio Coop
- 48:54Speaker 6: makes the point that he thinks the consciousness of kier
- 48:57Speaker 6: Egan is still alive. So, but I think that they're
- 49:01Speaker 6: going to take Helena and make her the CEO, and
- 49:05Speaker 6: like the board has existed always as like the consciousness
- 49:09Speaker 6: of the proprietors, like where you saw in season one
- 49:12Speaker 6: when they get to go to the perpetuity wing.
- 49:15Speaker 1: Yeah. So, and to Jack's point with Helly and Helena,
- 49:21Speaker 1: she was, oh, crap, was that I was reading this
- 49:26Speaker 1: though I'm losing it.
- 49:27Speaker 2: Don't we So there's no part of us that thinks
- 49:30Speaker 2: Helena wants to, oh, what's this thing to fail?
- 49:34Speaker 6: I don't think so, because I mean every time they've
- 49:36Speaker 6: shown Helena, like outside, she's very very heavy on lumen,
- 49:42Speaker 6: like she there's nothing that they've shown from Helena's perspective
- 49:45Speaker 6: that she is like doesn't enjoy.
- 49:48Speaker 2: Yeah, question, she's kind of weirded out when Jamee or
- 49:50Speaker 2: Dad is sitting there when she's eating the raw egg.
- 49:52Speaker 1: But remember yo, but Helly when he and when Heley
- 49:59Speaker 1: and and Mark are having their conversation about like the
- 50:02Speaker 1: equator and everything, She's like, Hey, we're gonna die down here.
- 50:06Speaker 1: They're gonna kill us off once they're done with us,
- 50:08Speaker 1: there's no need for us. So why would Helly show
- 50:11Speaker 1: back up at that end scene if she believes we're
- 50:14Speaker 1: gonna die down here? Anyways? What's the point?
- 50:17Speaker 2: Yeah, No, that's a good point because part of me
- 50:19Speaker 2: two after, when I was talking with Charro, I was like,
- 50:22Speaker 2: they had that moment by the computer Helly, why wouldn't
- 50:26Speaker 2: she just say no, you have to go right, like hey, equator,
- 50:30Speaker 2: like you were saying earlier.
- 50:31Speaker 6: And she gave that huge speech to the Marching Band
- 50:34Speaker 6: where she's like, yes, you've lost people like you don't
- 50:37Speaker 6: want to be next and then all of a sudden
- 50:38Speaker 6: it ends with her being like we're gonna stay down here. Also,
- 50:42Speaker 6: does the Marching Band exist in Lumen?
- 50:44Speaker 2: Are they hired to come down?
- 50:46Speaker 6: Or is that their sole purpose and they've just been
- 50:48Speaker 6: living this life?
- 50:49Speaker 2: No? Like Marching Band, the Marching Band scene was iconic.
- 50:54Speaker 6: Hey and the serious the Bulls theme song when they
- 50:58Speaker 6: played that for Milkshake to come out always.
- 51:00Speaker 2: On the floor, it was like, what what.
- 51:02Speaker 6: Is going on at this point? It was such a
- 51:05Speaker 6: stressful episode.
- 51:06Speaker 2: The whole stress like what.
- 51:08Speaker 6: Is gonna happen next? And I want to know if
- 51:11Speaker 6: Milkshake's gonna end up turning.
- 51:13Speaker 1: He has to turn.
- 51:15Speaker 2: I think he I think he turns.
- 51:17Speaker 1: The reason he has to turn is because I don't
- 51:19Speaker 1: know how you make ten more episodes off of how
- 51:22Speaker 1: they left it. Yeah, And that's another part that bothered
- 51:26Speaker 1: me that ending. I'm like, I just can't say, I
- 51:29Speaker 1: can't picture them being able to do a whole ten
- 51:32Speaker 1: more episodes.
- 51:33Speaker 6: Yeah, run with now because they could do a whole
- 51:37Speaker 6: gym storyline where I think Coop was saying it, where
- 51:40Speaker 6: is it gonna be flipped?
- 51:41Speaker 2: Where? Now?
- 51:41Speaker 6: Jimma was always the main character, and they're going to
- 51:44Speaker 6: show her trying to rescue Mark. Is Helena. Now, maybe
- 51:48Speaker 6: she goes away from lumin but she's falling in love
- 51:50Speaker 6: with Mark S and she wants to take him because
- 51:53Speaker 6: she found Mark in the real world after she had
- 51:56Speaker 6: slept with him. And so I don't know if they're
- 51:59Speaker 6: gonna want like there's so many, like different ways that
- 52:02Speaker 6: could go about it.
- 52:02Speaker 2: But I did see in.
- 52:04Speaker 6: An interview people were really upset that Jimma thinks that
- 52:08Speaker 6: that was Mark, not Mark S. But her actress confirms
- 52:12Speaker 6: that she knows that that is.
- 52:14Speaker 2: Marks any and not her husband. When she's left at
- 52:17Speaker 2: that door. I loved how they were getting severed in
- 52:20Speaker 2: and out like all the all of.
- 52:21Speaker 6: A sudden, miss Casey's back and yeah do that death
- 52:25Speaker 6: too with.
- 52:29Speaker 2: And then all of a sudden, God, I know, because
- 52:31Speaker 2: I'm like, how is he going to wiggle through this?
- 52:34Speaker 2: And then the gun goes off? But also how about
- 52:37Speaker 2: Brionna Tarth just beating his.
- 52:39Speaker 1: Beating and after she took some licks too.
- 52:42Speaker 2: Like putting him up on the wall.
- 52:44Speaker 1: Yeah, dude, but I guess also even going into the
- 52:48Speaker 1: next season, so what Mark leaves, Luman goes out into
- 52:52Speaker 1: his OUTI life and sees Gemma and is like, oh, hey,
- 52:56Speaker 1: you're alive. Yeah, why would he go back down?
- 53:00Speaker 4: There's no way they let him leave now, right because
- 53:03Speaker 4: of that point he's in there.
- 53:04Speaker 1: And then yeah, they're just gonna what if they.
- 53:07Speaker 4: This is a crazy wighter thought of I'll get I'll
- 53:10Speaker 4: ask it in a second. But what do we think
- 53:11Speaker 4: about Milchick? Do we still think he'll turn at some point?
- 53:14Speaker 4: Or is he confirmed up?
- 53:17Speaker 1: I think he was moved by Helly's speech too.
- 53:19Speaker 2: Yeah, he's just there's bits and pieces to keep coming.
- 53:23Speaker 2: He does and he stays true to his profession. But
- 53:26Speaker 2: even with the uh, the egan the way he was
- 53:28Speaker 2: talking to him in the speech, and he kind of
- 53:30Speaker 2: stayed heady about it, like a claymation. You're five inches
- 53:33Speaker 2: shorter and you hear the other consciousness laughing in the background. Yeah,
- 53:38Speaker 2: but uh, I think I think he eventually turns.
- 53:42Speaker 1: He has to.
- 53:42Speaker 2: He has to.
- 53:44Speaker 1: He's right through the.
- 53:44Speaker 2: Way he gets treated. It's just too Yeah, I think
- 53:47Speaker 2: it'll I think it'll happen if.
- 53:48Speaker 1: He doesn't turn. In the first two episodes of the
- 53:51Speaker 1: third season.
- 53:51Speaker 2: I'm not watching, bro, you can't do that.
- 53:54Speaker 1: I will boycott. I'll we need to go to Looman.

- 58:06Speaker 3: But yeah, well I was like really running over here

- 58:10Speaker 3: up and he had like, what multiple helmets in your hand,
- 58:13Speaker 3: a bunch of stuff. I was like, oh man, he's

- 58:16Speaker 3: be for us. Yeah, these helmets weren't. The helmets weren't,
- 58:19Speaker 3: but I got these dope. There's dope coozie. You said
- 58:21Speaker 3: your dad made these.
- 58:22Speaker 8: So I so I remade my dad's coozy from nineteen
- 58:25Speaker 8: eighty one and back in eighty one that was a
- 58:28Speaker 8: koozy like the foam boat float and the water kind
- 58:31Speaker 8: of thing.
- 58:31Speaker 2: Thick.
- 58:32Speaker 8: Yeah, So I had a company remake those for me

- 58:38Speaker 8: heart from back in the day. And and I brought
- 58:41Speaker 8: you some more modern the bud eight coozies that we
- 58:44Speaker 8: had made, just some gifts, some drink, some some fun.

- 58:59Speaker 3: Light about what does bust what the boys have to
- 59:01Speaker 3: do to bring back a vintage can.
- 59:03Speaker 2: Yeah, but just.
- 59:04Speaker 3: In general, like I feel like the eighties and nineties,
- 59:06Speaker 3: that vintage type type of style needs to make it
- 59:09Speaker 3: come back in some way. And we might be the
- 59:10Speaker 3: podcast and you might be the individual as well to
- 59:13Speaker 3: help us get that done.
- 59:14Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 59:14Speaker 8: I think it's I mean, it's recognizable with all those
- 59:16Speaker 8: all the logos they kind of change and evolve over time.
- 59:19Speaker 8: Some people come in and put a new modern take
- 59:21Speaker 8: on on the on Bud Light or something like that.
- 59:23Speaker 8: But it is kind of cool those cans can become collectors.
- 59:26Speaker 2: You know.
- 59:27Speaker 8: Bud Light always does this annually where they'll where I live,
- 59:31Speaker 8: they do Panthers cans, Carolina Panthers can so it's all
- 59:33Speaker 8: black with the panthers and all that stuff. And they
- 59:36Speaker 8: did that for Washington one year. I still got like
- 59:38Speaker 8: a case of Washington cans right on then drink, and
- 59:41Speaker 8: so it's kind of cool all the things that they do.
- 59:43Speaker 8: But it would be cool to throw back.
- 59:46Speaker 3: Label bring the Frogs, bring the Olds back. Like I
- 59:49Speaker 3: feel like if you did a call back in a
- 59:50Speaker 3: couple of those commercials, people standing a plot in their
- 59:53Speaker 3: living room, so pause it like, let's just get a
- 59:55Speaker 3: right a plause.
- 59:56Speaker 8: So back in back when I was working with bud
- 59:59Speaker 8: Hardcore was two thousand all the way up until eight
- 1:00:04Speaker 8: and I was at the National Sales convention every year
- 1:00:07Speaker 8: where they would unveil the commercials before anyone else got
- 1:00:10Speaker 8: to see them. And Bud and Bud Lights specifically had
- 1:00:13Speaker 8: the best Super Bowl commercials. You know, you mentioned the
- 1:00:15Speaker 8: frogs and the lizards. There was a guys. I mean
- 1:00:19Speaker 8: every year we would go to these national sales conventions.
- 1:00:22Speaker 8: There would be probably fifty celebrities. Everybody they were working
- 1:00:25Speaker 8: with was their singers, bull riders, actors, and we all
- 1:00:30Speaker 8: sat in the same same spot. There would be five
- 1:00:33Speaker 8: thousand people in this room, like bottlers and retailers and
- 1:00:37Speaker 8: all their people, all the bud people for all of
- 1:00:39Speaker 8: their brands, and we all sat down and we're like,
- 1:00:42Speaker 8: I can't wait to the commercial part. Right, We're going
- 1:00:44Speaker 8: to watch all the commercials. And they were great because
- 1:00:47Speaker 8: they were really you know, it's funny as shit. Some
- 1:00:49Speaker 8: of the best commercial.
- 1:00:49Speaker 2: Remember the Bud Bowl.
- 1:00:50Speaker 8: They like the football bottles out there playing during the
- 1:00:53Speaker 8: Super Bowl. They had like the Bud Bowl. Like, as
- 1:00:56Speaker 8: a kid, that was cool as shit.
- 1:00:58Speaker 2: I know, I wasn't even enough to drink ripping. There
- 1:01:01Speaker 2: was one they did for the Super Bowl that was
- 1:01:03Speaker 2: like a bunch of horses playing football. And then oh
- 1:01:06Speaker 2: yeah and one of the guys, one of the.
- 1:01:07Speaker 3: Cowboys that there's like that refs an ass. Yeah, I
- 1:01:10Speaker 3: believe it's a zebra.
- 1:01:11Speaker 8: That what a what am I'm a I'm a teenager
- 1:01:15Speaker 8: watching a Bud Bowl, and I'm like, I'm watching the
- 1:01:17Speaker 8: Super Bowl and I'm like, I can't wait till the
- 1:01:19Speaker 8: fucking Bud Bowl comes back. I want to see if
- 1:01:20Speaker 8: Bud light winds. You know, you're like legit, like a
- 1:01:23Speaker 8: bought end, the damn thing.
- 1:01:25Speaker 3: That's just a gimmick, right, Yeah, But it's so when
- 1:01:28Speaker 3: you first start, when you get into NASCAR for the
- 1:01:30Speaker 3: first time, everyone obviously has their presenting sponsor. Yours was Budweiser.
- 1:01:34Speaker 3: Was that like pretty clear easy to get done?
- 1:01:36Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 1:01:37Speaker 3: Or was like were other people trying to get you before?
- 1:01:39Speaker 2: Oh?
- 1:01:39Speaker 8: I don't know, I was, I was.
- 1:01:41Speaker 2: I wasn't involved.
- 1:01:42Speaker 8: I was so young and my dad was doing the
- 1:01:44Speaker 8: wheeling and dealing in the background, and he the Bud
- 1:01:47Speaker 8: deal that we did that that at that time in
- 1:01:48Speaker 8: two thousand was ten million a year. It was the
- 1:01:50Speaker 8: biggest deal that anybody had. They were coming from Hendrick Motorsports,
- 1:01:54Speaker 8: where they had been for quite a while, and and
- 1:01:57Speaker 8: so that was pretty unique because Hendrick Motorsports is I
- 1:02:00Speaker 8: would drive for them down the road. They're a real
- 1:02:02Speaker 8: well respected company, and so to kind of pull a
- 1:02:05Speaker 8: brand like Bud from them to to and that Bud
- 1:02:09Speaker 8: was taking a chance on me to to be good,
- 1:02:13Speaker 8: and so it was really cool. I remember August Bush
- 1:02:17Speaker 8: rides into our shop on on with the Clydesdale's and
- 1:02:22Speaker 8: the and the dog on top of the bud you know,
- 1:02:24Speaker 8: the big wagon and the stage code whatever that thing was,
- 1:02:28Speaker 8: and they roll into our shop and they he comes down,
- 1:02:32Speaker 8: hops down, August Bush, the guy that owns the company,
- 1:02:34Speaker 8: shaking my hand, and man, I remember going to the
- 1:02:40Speaker 8: brewery or the business downtown in Saint Louis and walking
- 1:02:44Speaker 8: through there and uh, just being amazed to be connected
- 1:02:48Speaker 8: to such as iconic brand back then.
- 1:02:51Speaker 2: Did you ever get to influence like a decision with
- 1:02:54Speaker 2: your them sponsoring you something anything creatively?
- 1:02:57Speaker 8: No, not really, no, no no, no.
- 1:03:00Speaker 2: Hey bring the vintage cans back now? The one thing.
- 1:03:03Speaker 8: So they were funny because uh there there there's some
- 1:03:09Speaker 8: healthy competition between bud Light and Budweiser and all their
- 1:03:14Speaker 8: other brands, like they they compete inside the business and
- 1:03:20Speaker 8: kind of like teammates race racing teammates competing at each other.
- 1:03:23Speaker 8: But it's healthy, right, raising everybody up. And you don't
- 1:03:28Speaker 8: want to get be by your teammate. You want to
- 1:03:29Speaker 8: be the best teammate, right, And so there's a little
- 1:03:31Speaker 8: healthy competition inside the business with bud Light and Budweiser,
- 1:03:35Speaker 8: and so I would. I went to them one time.
- 1:03:36Speaker 8: I didn't know about that. I went to them one time.
- 1:03:38Speaker 8: I said, you know, it'd be cool. I was like,
- 1:03:39Speaker 8: what if I drove a bud Light car one race?
- 1:03:41Speaker 8: I always drive the bud car every week. What if
- 1:03:43Speaker 8: I did a bud Light car. I think I'd be cool.
- 1:03:44Speaker 8: And they're like, hell, no, You're never running a bud bike.
- 1:03:48Speaker 3: Shut it down immediately.
- 1:03:49Speaker 8: Yeah, they were like, no, it.
- 1:03:51Speaker 2: Does sound crazy. I think of it as just like
- 1:03:53Speaker 2: bud head right now. Yeah.
- 1:03:56Speaker 3: We met with them in New Orleans during the Super
- 1:03:58Speaker 3: Bowl and I think I said something about bud bud
- 1:04:00Speaker 3: Wiser and bud Light to one of the guys and
- 1:04:02Speaker 3: they kind of looked at me like, we're not going.
- 1:04:03Speaker 2: To do that now.
- 1:04:06Speaker 8: And there the other thing that the other thing I
- 1:04:08Speaker 8: learned from them that was really I've hung onto this.
- 1:04:11Speaker 8: I don't know right or wrong. I thought this was, Hey,
- 1:04:14Speaker 8: they're successful, so I'm gonna believe in this idea. Is
- 1:04:18Speaker 8: they would They rarely wanted to change the car, the
- 1:04:21Speaker 8: way the car looked. They loved the continuity and that
- 1:04:25Speaker 8: you could look out in the field from the grand
- 1:04:27Speaker 8: stands and immediately see that car and it looked the
- 1:04:29Speaker 8: same all the time. And they they love that continuity
- 1:04:32Speaker 8: the car being the same, whereas today, you know, there's
- 1:04:35Speaker 8: there's different sponsors, different your you know, your favorite drivers
- 1:04:38Speaker 8: driving a different looking car every week, and it's it's tough,
- 1:04:41Speaker 8: uh to sort of follow along and and there's no uh,
- 1:04:47Speaker 8: there's no equity built up in a in a in
- 1:04:49Speaker 8: a look in the look of a car, right uh.
- 1:04:51Speaker 8: But man, when I drove Budwiser, like you can show
- 1:04:54Speaker 8: fans this car and they're like right away that that
- 1:04:56Speaker 8: triggers their nostalgia and they're like, oh, man, that was
- 1:04:58Speaker 8: my car because I ran that car and it looked
- 1:05:01Speaker 8: like that for five, six, seven years and we never
- 1:05:04Speaker 8: changed it. They just we would bring them all kinds
- 1:05:07Speaker 8: of ideas and we did some one off stuff with
- 1:05:09Speaker 8: baseball and other people here. You know, they had an
- 1:05:11Speaker 8: all Star car and they did they did some music
- 1:05:15Speaker 8: stuff with different bands, but for the most part, like
- 1:05:18Speaker 8: they didn't want to change the look of the car
- 1:05:19Speaker 8: too much. I adhered, like I kind of like believe
- 1:05:24Speaker 8: in that idea of building equity and continuity and in
- 1:05:27Speaker 8: a in a brand that and the way it looks
- 1:05:30Speaker 8: like I don't mind modernizing the logo, but it's got
- 1:05:33Speaker 8: to have it's got to still look like the original, right, Yeah, And.
- 1:05:37Speaker 3: Just like you're saying, like, if a casual fan goes
- 1:05:39Speaker 3: and watches a NASCAR race and they're able to point
- 1:05:41Speaker 3: out a vehicle that they've seen to get seen before,
- 1:05:44Speaker 3: that's like I feel like they're more part of it. Yeah,
- 1:05:46Speaker 3: oh okay, I know they feel like they know a
- 1:05:47Speaker 3: little bit more about the race now everything. But if
- 1:05:50Speaker 3: you're changing colors, like when we're at your shop, seemed
- 1:05:52Speaker 3: like you guys had.
- 1:05:53Speaker 8: Different lots of that's the way modern NASCAR today. Everybody
- 1:05:56Speaker 8: runs a different looking car because you need so many partners,
- 1:05:58Speaker 8: so many sponsors. You can't have like one sponsor that
- 1:06:01Speaker 8: can fund the entire season, so we have to run
- 1:06:03Speaker 8: a different sponsor almost every other week. But like if
- 1:06:06Speaker 8: you look back in the history, everybody remembers the black
- 1:06:09Speaker 8: three car. Dad had the same sponsor for many years.
- 1:06:12Speaker 8: Jeff Gordon in the Rainbow twenty four. You know you
- 1:06:15Speaker 8: remember those cars because they were in that same car
- 1:06:18Speaker 8: every week every year for multiple years, and they built.
- 1:06:21Speaker 8: They they built equity and value in that. They still
- 1:06:25Speaker 8: lean into that today, so.
- 1:06:26Speaker 2: We do too.
- 1:06:27Speaker 8: Like I ran this car, this little ley Ma stock car.
- 1:06:30Speaker 8: I ran it at a place called Florence, South Carolina,
- 1:06:32Speaker 8: last November, and man, we unveiled the idea that we
- 1:06:35Speaker 8: were going to do this, and people went eight shit
- 1:06:37Speaker 8: and just balled right into it, right, And all the
- 1:06:40Speaker 8: people have started, you know, everybody on social media sharing
- 1:06:42Speaker 8: stories about their experiences watching you know, the cup version
- 1:06:46Speaker 8: of that car back in the two thousands run and
- 1:06:47Speaker 8: where they watched it race and it was really a
- 1:06:50Speaker 8: great experience.
- 1:06:52Speaker 2: That is awesome. Yeah, did you ever have like in
- 1:06:55Speaker 2: your racing days where you might have finished like twelfth,
- 1:07:00Speaker 2: middle of the pack and it felt like a big win?
- 1:07:02Speaker 8: Oh yeah, so there's this one race I always talk about.
- 1:07:06Speaker 8: So it's always great to celebrate the wins, obviously, but
- 1:07:12Speaker 8: I'm sure y'all had games where maybe the overall outcome
- 1:07:15Speaker 8: wasn't what you were looking for, but you had there's
- 1:07:18Speaker 8: there's moments, right, maybe it was a sack or an
- 1:07:20Speaker 8: interception or something like that, or or you just had
- 1:07:23Speaker 8: a great game that nobody's gonna remember, but you uh,
- 1:07:28Speaker 8: there was a race at Martinsville, North Carolina or Martinsville, Virginia,
- 1:07:33Speaker 8: probably two thousand and I don't know. Four two thousand
- 1:07:37Speaker 8: and five. We start to race, big crash.
- 1:07:40Speaker 2: In turn one.
- 1:07:41Speaker 8: I'm in it and tear the right front off of
- 1:07:43Speaker 8: my car, and the damage the back of the car there,
- 1:07:46Speaker 8: it is right there on the screen. So by the
- 1:07:48Speaker 8: time we got the car kind of repaired and able
- 1:07:50Speaker 8: to get back on the track, that's what it looked like.
- 1:07:52Speaker 8: I'm out there getting rad It's like five laps into
- 1:07:56Speaker 8: the race. It's a five hundred lap race at this
- 1:07:57Speaker 8: tiny little bull ring. And I get back out there
- 1:08:00Speaker 8: and I'm like, God, dang, this is gonna be a
- 1:08:01Speaker 8: long day. My car is wrecked. It's not gonna be competitive.
- 1:08:06Speaker 8: I'm gonna be in the freaking way all day. This
- 1:08:07Speaker 8: is gonna suck. We get the running and running along there,
- 1:08:10Speaker 8: nothing's really happening. But as the run, as the laps
- 1:08:13Speaker 8: start clicking off, start passing, a few cars, start going
- 1:08:16Speaker 8: by a few more guys. My car is feeling good,
- 1:08:18Speaker 8: guys are getting worse, and I'm just trying to both.
- 1:08:21Speaker 8: I drive through the field all the way up into
- 1:08:22Speaker 8: the top ten. I'm like, shit, we're good. This is
- 1:08:25Speaker 8: gonna be This car is great, and yeah, I drive
- 1:08:28Speaker 8: up into the top ten. I spend myself out right
- 1:08:30Speaker 8: here underneath the twelve car, have to go right to
- 1:08:32Speaker 8: the back of the field again, drive right back to
- 1:08:34Speaker 8: the front. Ended up finishing like fifth, fourth or fifth
- 1:08:37Speaker 8: in the race. I'm in the ship, I'm in the
- 1:08:39Speaker 8: photo as we're coming off term for battling for the wind,
- 1:08:42Speaker 8: I'm there, I'm there right, And you know, I just
- 1:08:47Speaker 8: always I got a somebody made me a custom die
- 1:08:49Speaker 8: cast of that car. It's like the size of this
- 1:08:51Speaker 8: thing that I have in my collection. I got a
- 1:08:53Speaker 8: little modest collection of custom shit, and so somebody made
- 1:08:56Speaker 8: me one of those. And I'm like, this is like
- 1:08:58Speaker 8: my favorite race. I didn't win because of all the
- 1:09:01Speaker 8: ship that went wrong and how bad it should have been,
- 1:09:04Speaker 8: but we just didn't stop trying, and the car actually
- 1:09:08Speaker 8: was badass. So the fact that the fender's missing it
- 1:09:11Speaker 8: kept the right front tire cool and allowed the tire
- 1:09:15Speaker 8: to really outperform everyone else who had a tire that
- 1:09:18Speaker 8: had a big fender on it that was in there
- 1:09:20Speaker 8: getting cooked by the brakes and the engine and everything else.
- 1:09:23Speaker 8: And so the fact that my car is out in
- 1:09:24Speaker 8: the wind actually was an advantage over the long course
- 1:09:28Speaker 8: of the day, and that's why the car I think
- 1:09:30Speaker 8: actually ended up being really more competitive than it should
- 1:09:32Speaker 8: have been.
- 1:09:33Speaker 3: There's obviously rules and regulations of like how cars is
- 1:09:35Speaker 3: supposed to be set up in all that, but you
- 1:09:36Speaker 3: ever like think, like I wonder if there's like a
- 1:09:38Speaker 3: tarra whe kind of like the pants we talked.
- 1:09:40Speaker 2: About that.
- 1:09:43Speaker 3: Maybe just like hit the wall real quick, boys, happens.
- 1:09:48Speaker 2: You take out certain parts of your Michael Bennett used
- 1:09:51Speaker 2: to do that.
- 1:09:53Speaker 8: Yeah, there is there's a there's an advantage if you
- 1:09:59Speaker 8: lose the tail piece of the car, NASCAR won't let
- 1:10:01Speaker 8: you run that. NASCAR makes you come down pet Road
- 1:10:04Speaker 8: and reinstall the tail if the whole tale comes off.
- 1:10:07Speaker 8: So the back bumper, if that that back bumper being
- 1:10:11Speaker 8: on there creates a lot of drag underneath it. Air
- 1:10:13Speaker 8: comes from under the car and gets into the back bumper,
- 1:10:16Speaker 8: So if that were to come off, that's kind of
- 1:10:18Speaker 8: an advantage in some scenarios, and so NASCAR makes you
- 1:10:21Speaker 8: reinstall that. But we after this happened, I joked with
- 1:10:27Speaker 8: my teams for the rest of my career like, hey,
- 1:10:29Speaker 8: when we go back to Martinsville. You know, if the
- 1:10:31Speaker 8: fuck if the fender falls off, it's okay, like, don't yeah,
- 1:10:34Speaker 8: don't you know if there's a.
- 1:10:35Speaker 3: Reason that pretty nudge, like, hey, the balls are actually
- 1:10:38Speaker 3: not telling you what they do.
- 1:10:39Speaker 2: But if we could have a little driving into the wall, Yeah,
- 1:10:44Speaker 2: there's a little weird huh. Yeah. Just so when you
- 1:10:48Speaker 2: went back there, you're kind of hoping.
- 1:10:50Speaker 8: No, I just knew, and I there's there was a
- 1:10:53Speaker 8: picture of a guy named Harry Gant and he won
- 1:10:55Speaker 8: that race in nineteen eighty one at Martinsville, and he
- 1:10:58Speaker 8: had the right he had damage on the right front,
- 1:10:59Speaker 8: right front tires exposed. He won that race again in
- 1:11:03Speaker 8: nineteen ninety one with the right front fender completely gone.
- 1:11:07Speaker 8: Same guy. And then probably a handful of years ago,
- 1:11:10Speaker 8: I think Martin Tricks Junior or somebody else ran really
- 1:11:13Speaker 8: well with with a lot of damage some in the
- 1:11:16Speaker 8: right front tier, the left front, right front tire I
- 1:11:18Speaker 8: think exposed. And so I mean it's kind of common
- 1:11:20Speaker 8: knowledge now, but you can't. You can't build a car
- 1:11:23Speaker 8: to where the ship would just fall off for you.
- 1:11:25Speaker 2: They'll catch you.
- 1:11:25Speaker 8: Yeah, that would be tough to do that.
- 1:11:27Speaker 3: When you have success the way you do there. Like
- 1:11:30Speaker 3: I don't know about you, but like in the football
- 1:11:31Speaker 3: where like a lot of guys are superstitious, some guys
- 1:11:34Speaker 3: lay their stuff out to listen to certain music and
- 1:11:35Speaker 3: stuff like that. Did you have like a game day
- 1:11:38Speaker 3: ritual that you would hit every single every single week
- 1:11:42Speaker 3: or you just got it? You just woke up pissed,
- 1:11:43Speaker 3: excellency after.
- 1:11:45Speaker 8: I My superstitions were all the general traditional common knowledge superstitions,
- 1:11:51Speaker 8: like walking under ladders, breaking mirrors, the number thirteen. In racing. Uh,
- 1:11:59Speaker 8: people used to say the color green. That was like
- 1:12:01Speaker 8: a widely hard adhered to superstition, the color green was
- 1:12:07Speaker 8: bad luck. Now, that didn't make any sense to me
- 1:12:09Speaker 8: because there were green race cars. Money is green, there's green,
- 1:12:12Speaker 8: you know there was there was moments where green didn't
- 1:12:16Speaker 8: seem to bother my luck, right, and so I didn't
- 1:12:18Speaker 8: really buy into that. Peanuts for some reason, peanuts around
- 1:12:21Speaker 8: the race car. There's people that are old old heads
- 1:12:24Speaker 8: kind of believe peanuts is bad.
- 1:12:26Speaker 2: Just having peanuts around.
- 1:12:27Speaker 8: Yeah, don't eat, get away from my car unsheltered.
- 1:12:33Speaker 2: So these are pischios, let them go.
- 1:12:38Speaker 8: But that's a bit of an older wise tell. But man,
- 1:12:40Speaker 8: I was one that kind of believed in the like
- 1:12:42Speaker 8: the traditional stuff and like, yeah, so what's.
- 1:12:47Speaker 2: The weirdest superstition you've ever seen from a different driver?
- 1:12:51Speaker 8: The I think the ones that you hear about, I
- 1:12:53Speaker 8: don't even they're even hard to believe. Is like race
- 1:12:55Speaker 8: car drivers wearing the same pair of underwear every race,
- 1:12:59Speaker 8: like they got a pair of underwear that they have
- 1:13:01Speaker 8: to wear that day. Or yeah, I don't. I've heard
- 1:13:06Speaker 8: some kind of strange stuff like that, but nothing too crazy.
- 1:13:09Speaker 8: To be honest with you, I didn't.
- 1:13:11Speaker 2: I didn't.
- 1:13:11Speaker 8: I I was more worried about like I don't eat anything.
- 1:13:15Speaker 2: It's gonna suck your stomach up, you know. Or like
- 1:13:17Speaker 2: have you ever gotten the bubbles like a bubbly like
- 1:13:20Speaker 2: bubbly gut, bubble gut like bubble bubble guts, Yes, bubble.
- 1:13:26Speaker 3: Hold those cheeks, So.
- 1:13:28Speaker 2: You had it when you're out there racing. Let me
- 1:13:30Speaker 2: ship yourself.
- 1:13:31Speaker 8: No, I never shipped my pants when you yourself? Oh yeah,
- 1:13:37Speaker 8: so on the hot days you.
- 1:13:39Speaker 2: Got bubble guts, bro, there's no I mean, you could
- 1:13:41Speaker 2: hold it in, but it's gonna you have a slight release,
- 1:13:44Speaker 2: like let me try to get some air out, but
- 1:13:45Speaker 2: you're like there's no room for I never I.
- 1:13:47Speaker 3: Think I think for like the normal population, people like
- 1:13:49Speaker 3: you're very aggressive with getting the air out of your butt.
- 1:13:53Speaker 3: You you'll take a chance that most people I remember
- 1:13:56Speaker 3: being in the airport with you, I mean, like the
- 1:13:57Speaker 3: bathroom quick ship myself. You know, I feel like you
- 1:14:00Speaker 3: kind of don't possess the quality of thinking like old
- 1:14:02Speaker 3: poop might come out here.
- 1:14:03Speaker 2: There's an art.
- 1:14:04Speaker 8: There's there's an art to limit. There's an art to
- 1:14:08Speaker 8: getting the gas around the poop. Yeah, and getting that out.
- 1:14:11Speaker 2: I agree. When you got.
- 1:14:14Speaker 8: So like the ship's coming, you're gonna ship, right, But
- 1:14:17Speaker 8: if you can get the air around the ship, that
- 1:14:19Speaker 8: buys you a little time.
- 1:14:21Speaker 3: Yeah, you're just Yeah, that's a that that takes the
- 1:14:23Speaker 3: pressure down. It's going down. You gotta get some weight
- 1:14:26Speaker 3: off to slow the ship from the ad buys.
- 1:14:27Speaker 8: You about ten minutes.
- 1:14:28Speaker 2: Yea. Every far now, wrapping around the turd almost kind
- 1:14:31Speaker 2: of pushes it back up a little bit.
- 1:14:32Speaker 3: It just takes the pressure down. That's basic science. That's
- 1:14:35Speaker 3: what you guys are talking about right now. That's hydraulics.
- 1:14:37Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:14:38Speaker 8: And so if you're I was pretty good at just
- 1:14:41Speaker 8: you know, making I could fart if I needed ship,
- 1:14:43Speaker 8: I could probably you know, I can relieve the pressure
- 1:14:46Speaker 8: without shipping my pants, and so I never shipped my pants.
- 1:14:50Speaker 2: Okay, but with bubble guts, you hold it in. Yeah.
- 1:14:53Speaker 2: I mean.
- 1:14:55Speaker 8: The problem is is, though, do you I mean, this
- 1:14:57Speaker 8: is funny we're talking about this, but do you know
- 1:15:00Speaker 8: I My problem was is that when the you know, whatever,
- 1:15:03Speaker 8: the moment is right, whether you're in a race or
- 1:15:05Speaker 8: you're driving home, and you're like, holy shit, I got
- 1:15:07Speaker 8: to get to the toilet, it's coming. Your body knows
- 1:15:11Speaker 8: when you're near that toilet. Isn't that crazy because like
- 1:15:14Speaker 8: you you're like, all right, I made it into the driveway,
- 1:15:16Speaker 8: I'm gonna be fine, And then as soon as you
- 1:15:18Speaker 8: get near the front door, it's like, fuck, no, we
- 1:15:20Speaker 8: gotta go now to sprint. It's like the time is now.
- 1:15:23Speaker 2: And you fortunately just get your pants down right in time,
- 1:15:26Speaker 2: like as you just started going in there.
- 1:15:27Speaker 3: There's a couple of those situations where you're literally flying
- 1:15:30Speaker 3: by the seat of your pants where you're like unbuckling
- 1:15:32Speaker 3: and kind of like doing this this hip maneuver to
- 1:15:35Speaker 3: jump onto that toilet just in time. You're hitting toilet
- 1:15:38Speaker 3: the same time things are coming us.
- 1:15:39Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a wild deal.
- 1:15:40Speaker 8: Your body knows. It's like, hey man, that fool me.
- 1:15:43Speaker 8: You're near a toilet, Yes, happening, I gotta go.
- 1:15:45Speaker 2: But pissing yourself, that's step.
- 1:15:47Speaker 8: So this is the thing with pissing yourself.
- 1:15:49Speaker 3: Can I So yeah, I basically I want you to
- 1:15:51Speaker 3: explain this, But then I also want to know, probably
- 1:15:53Speaker 3: on a percentage on a race, how many of.
- 1:15:55Speaker 8: These to be clear, not shitting ourselves regularly, yeah, but
- 1:15:59Speaker 8: we do. Ever, we do pee on ourselves sometimes. This
- 1:16:03Speaker 8: happened to me probably half a dozen times in my career.
- 1:16:06Speaker 8: So you the inside of a race car is a
- 1:16:13Speaker 8: good day one hundred and twenty degrees one hundred twenty
- 1:16:15Speaker 8: five hundred and thirty. On a bad day, one hundred
- 1:16:18Speaker 8: and fifty degrees, super hot. So when you know, you
- 1:16:23Speaker 8: know beforehand, like on a Thursday or Friday, you're like,
- 1:16:25Speaker 8: it's fuck man, Sunday race day. It's gonna be ninety
- 1:16:28Speaker 8: five degrees. It's gonna be some miserable inside the car.
- 1:16:31Speaker 8: And so you start thinking about that and you start hydrating, right,
- 1:16:33Speaker 8: you're trying to do a little extra hydrating. You get
- 1:16:36Speaker 8: up in the morning, you're drinking water and everything. And
- 1:16:39Speaker 8: there's a lot of things that are happening right before
- 1:16:42Speaker 8: you get into the car, driver's intro and a couple
- 1:16:45Speaker 8: other things handshaking and gripping and grinning photos that are there.
- 1:16:49Speaker 8: They're roadblocks to pissing, Like you can't get to the
- 1:16:52Speaker 8: john and so you you don't get to use the
- 1:16:55Speaker 8: bathroom and make sure you're good to go before you
- 1:16:57Speaker 8: get in the cars. You hop in the car, you
- 1:16:59Speaker 8: buckle up, up, start your engines. You're in. You're committed, right,
- 1:17:02Speaker 8: you're gonna drive this thing all pit road and start
- 1:17:04Speaker 8: this race. Then you're like, shit, I gotta pee. And
- 1:17:06Speaker 8: it's I got a three and a half hour drive
- 1:17:08Speaker 8: in this car. I gotta piss. You can't focus if
- 1:17:11Speaker 8: you're holding a pee, you can't like you, you know,
- 1:17:13Speaker 8: your miserable costion comes out. You're like ship, you're you know,
- 1:17:16Speaker 8: sometimes when you're driving in the race, green flag, there's
- 1:17:19Speaker 8: enough to focus that it can take your mind off
- 1:17:22Speaker 8: of it, but your you know, caution comes out. You're like, fucking,
- 1:17:26Speaker 8: I'm just gonna piss, and so.
- 1:17:29Speaker 2: It's kind of hard to piss yourself.
- 1:17:30Speaker 8: You over hit it.
- 1:17:31Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like doing it in front of somebody. Yeah,
- 1:17:35Speaker 3: I mean you have to be full of relaxed, Like
- 1:17:36Speaker 3: the minute you try to flex hitting a turn, you
- 1:17:39Speaker 3: gotta strain a little bit, like it closes up.
- 1:17:41Speaker 8: You have to do it under caution. I don't think
- 1:17:42Speaker 8: I've ever been able to piss driving in green flag
- 1:17:45Speaker 8: conditions because you're focusing so much and thinking about driving
- 1:17:47Speaker 8: a car, you know. But there's the times that it's happened.
- 1:17:52Speaker 8: You just can't get You're not gonna get to the finish,
- 1:17:54Speaker 8: You're not gonna you're you're you're gonna pitch yourself. It's
- 1:17:56Speaker 8: gonna happen. You gotta you gotta, you know, accept the situation.
- 1:18:00Speaker 2: And you're in.
- 1:18:01Speaker 8: It's not a big deal because you're sweating your ass off.
- 1:18:05Speaker 8: It's miserable in there anyways. It's you know, it's already gross.
- 1:18:09Speaker 8: And so when you go, the only problem is is
- 1:18:13Speaker 8: so you get done. And I always had white suits, right,
- 1:18:16Speaker 8: and so so I'm thinking, like I got this white suit.
- 1:18:20Speaker 8: I'm like, I'm shit's gonna be obvious. Right when I
- 1:18:22Speaker 8: get out, people are gonna look at me and go,
- 1:18:23Speaker 8: damn fucking pissed himself obvious. And so what I would
- 1:18:29Speaker 8: do is I would I would say, if I had
- 1:18:31Speaker 8: pissed myself, I figured it out, I got, I'd say, hey,
- 1:18:35Speaker 8: bring me an orange gatorade when I get done here.
- 1:18:36Speaker 8: When I pulled up, when I'm done, I pull up
- 1:18:39Speaker 8: onto the pit road and I'm gonna get out, bring
- 1:18:41Speaker 8: me an orange gatorade. And I would pour that orange
- 1:18:43Speaker 8: gatorade all over to like blend it in so you
- 1:18:46Speaker 8: couldn't see that is some dehydrated piss.
- 1:18:49Speaker 2: Yeah, well it's change.
- 1:18:51Speaker 8: It changes the color of your clothes. And so I get.
- 1:18:53Speaker 8: I'm just you know, I don't want people to go that.
- 1:18:55Speaker 3: Look, dude, piste them and so pissed.
- 1:18:59Speaker 8: So I would kind of blend it in and then
- 1:19:01Speaker 8: I would get out of the car. And then you
- 1:19:04Speaker 8: have to tell the interior guy. There's a guy that's
- 1:19:07Speaker 8: responsible for the interior of the car. That's his job.
- 1:19:09Speaker 8: He works on that part of the car all week
- 1:19:11Speaker 8: long and he's got to clean up the interior and
- 1:19:14Speaker 8: then he's got to get it ready for the next race.
- 1:19:16Speaker 8: And so he's he's that's his role, and he's your
- 1:19:18Speaker 8: buddy because he knows everything about what's going on inside
- 1:19:22Speaker 8: of that car with you, and he knows everything you touching.
- 1:19:25Speaker 8: You and him talk all the time about let's move
- 1:19:27Speaker 8: this knob I can't reach it, or let's put this
- 1:19:29Speaker 8: over here that'll be more comfortable. And hey man, I
- 1:19:32Speaker 8: need to change my seat. It just don't feel right.
- 1:19:34Speaker 8: And so you and him are are close, good buddies,
- 1:19:37Speaker 8: texting pals, right, and you got to tell him, Man,
- 1:19:40Speaker 8: hey man, I pissed the fucking seat. You know you're
- 1:19:43Speaker 8: gonna Monday morning. I'm sorry, You're gonna take this seat
- 1:19:46Speaker 8: out and it's gonna smell. I'm sorry you can't. I mean,
- 1:19:51Speaker 8: you feel bad. You kind of want to go and
- 1:19:54Speaker 8: help him get this seat out. Sometimes that's not possible. Yeah,
- 1:19:57Speaker 8: he has to pull the there's an insert the seat,
- 1:20:00Speaker 8: a foam insert that's that's made perfectly for you. So
- 1:20:04Speaker 8: he just has to pull that out and then you know,
- 1:20:06Speaker 8: steam it down or hose it or pressure wash it
- 1:20:09Speaker 8: or whatever up. Yeah, but that's tough telling a guy. Look,
- 1:20:13Speaker 8: you gotta you gotta put up with this ship.
- 1:20:15Speaker 2: Yeah, have you ever puked yourself? Never? No, you just
- 1:20:21Speaker 2: your you start puking down here. So there's some guys
- 1:20:25Speaker 2: actually a pretty badass.
- 1:20:26Speaker 8: I know some guys that have done that, and I
- 1:20:29Speaker 8: can't imagine being so miserable that yours. You got a
- 1:20:32Speaker 8: full face helmet on, right, and you may be comprived
- 1:20:35Speaker 8: that that. I mean when you got a puke. A
- 1:20:37Speaker 8: lot of these guys are puking during the race while
- 1:20:40Speaker 8: they're they're battling it right, running in eighth place, and
- 1:20:42Speaker 8: all of a sudden, I had this one guy that
- 1:20:44Speaker 8: was driving my car and he's racing along and we're
- 1:20:48Speaker 8: having a good day. He's running like seventh or eighth,
- 1:20:50Speaker 8: and it's coming down to the end and he just
- 1:20:51Speaker 8: kind of goes high and loses a couple of spots,
- 1:20:54Speaker 8: and I'm like, what the fuck is going on? He's
- 1:20:56Speaker 8: throwing up. He just got sick, and he's like push,
- 1:20:59Speaker 8: pushes his helmet up just a little bit, and he's
- 1:21:00Speaker 8: like throwing up all over himself, and it was like
- 1:21:03Speaker 8: shredded chicken. He'd ate something that just was bad news,
- 1:21:09Speaker 8: and it just was everywhere. When he pulls in after
- 1:21:11Speaker 8: the race, it's just everywhe It's one of the things
- 1:21:14Speaker 8: you know when your kid throws up, it just goes everywhere,
- 1:21:16Speaker 8: and you're like, ah, you know you're the one that's
- 1:21:18Speaker 8: to clean it up. You're looking in there and you're like, god,
- 1:21:21Speaker 8: dang man, that's just it's everywhere. You don't touch anything
- 1:21:24Speaker 8: because it's all over the place. But so that luckily
- 1:21:28Speaker 8: never happened to me because I was specifically, like my
- 1:21:33Speaker 8: morning meal. I usually wasn't a breakfast guy. So my
- 1:21:38Speaker 8: meal before race was bread and and and like ham
- 1:21:43Speaker 8: and mustard and like this is basically it's I wouldn't
- 1:21:47Speaker 8: you ain't gonna grill me a piece of chicken bread bread,
- 1:21:55Speaker 8: like a grilled chicken. I wasn't gonna risk, you know,
- 1:21:57Speaker 8: eating something that was not cooked properly or just you
- 1:22:00Speaker 8: just even though it's like highly unlikely you were gonna
- 1:22:03Speaker 8: have a problem, I just wouldn't risk it. So I
- 1:22:04Speaker 8: eat something very basic and just get something, get the
- 1:22:07Speaker 8: foundation in there, and then then go to work.
- 1:22:11Speaker 2: Like just like rookies being super nervous about their first
- 1:22:14Speaker 2: NASCAR race. Yeah, you're kind of getting in. The elements
- 1:22:16Speaker 2: are kind of getting to you just start to get
- 1:22:17Speaker 2: a little dizzy, like, yeah, I got a puke. Yeah,
- 1:22:20Speaker 2: the guys like guys puked before games.
- 1:22:22Speaker 8: I know guys that Noah Gregson drove for us and
- 1:22:26Speaker 8: he's in a Cup series now. He had a situation
- 1:22:29Speaker 8: or an issue where I think he was holding his
- 1:22:32Speaker 8: breath a lot at the end of these races. And
- 1:22:35Speaker 8: so if you you know, how like if you guys
- 1:22:39Speaker 8: maybe like went a little bit too hard in a
- 1:22:41Speaker 8: sprint or something and you get done and you like
- 1:22:44Speaker 8: your body like sort of has this sort of moment
- 1:22:46Speaker 8: where it's like you fucking overdid.
- 1:22:48Speaker 2: It, you know, and you get a little sick.
- 1:22:49Speaker 8: Maybe he would hold his breath I think late in
- 1:22:53Speaker 8: these races, and he would win these, you know, he
- 1:22:56Speaker 8: he would win a race, get out, you know, and
- 1:22:59Speaker 8: you get the other thing too. I wonder if this
- 1:23:01Speaker 8: is happening to you all guys in football, But there's
- 1:23:03Speaker 8: no He's a wild one.
- 1:23:04Speaker 2: So he's a wild man. He's got an attitude about him.
- 1:23:11Speaker 8: He does.
- 1:23:12Speaker 2: He's like a modern day cam Ridgman. He's great.
- 1:23:18Speaker 8: We went a sport that, you know, in a sport
- 1:23:21Speaker 8: that succeeds on personality.
- 1:23:22Speaker 2: He brings a tongue.
- 1:23:25Speaker 8: So he would get out of the car and I
- 1:23:27Speaker 8: think he held his breath a little bit in the
- 1:23:29Speaker 8: last few laps after trying to win these races, and
- 1:23:32Speaker 8: then he would get out and expel all of this
- 1:23:34Speaker 8: energy over being excited and then it would hit him
- 1:23:37Speaker 8: and he would just bend over and throw up right
- 1:23:39Speaker 8: on the frustraight away holding the checkered flag. He's like, yeah,
- 1:23:43Speaker 8: look there he is. That's that's after winning a truck
- 1:23:46Speaker 8: race at Martinsville. He's throwing up on the track.
- 1:23:49Speaker 2: How do you get to where you're holding your breath
- 1:23:50Speaker 2: at the end of the race but you're just so focused,
- 1:23:52Speaker 2: so you're just like not breathing.
- 1:23:54Speaker 8: Yeah, I think that you because when you go into
- 1:23:56Speaker 8: the corner, you sort of every body when you go
- 1:23:58Speaker 8: into a turn, you like flex every bomp ever you
- 1:24:01Speaker 8: a muscle in your body, like you just you're you're
- 1:24:04Speaker 8: pushing against the seat, You're pushing against the steerwheel. Like
- 1:24:07Speaker 8: if the steer wheel is made of aluminum, man, you
- 1:24:09Speaker 8: would just probably twist that thing right off the steering shaft.
- 1:24:11Speaker 8: And so like every time you go into the corner,
- 1:24:13Speaker 8: your legs are going against the leg braces and you're
- 1:24:15Speaker 8: just every muscle is just flexed all the way and
- 1:24:20Speaker 8: you you you know how like guys uh if you
- 1:24:23Speaker 8: ever go up and uh with the with the Blue
- 1:24:26Speaker 8: Angels or any of those guys, they have those grunning
- 1:24:28Speaker 8: practices when they get into the g you do that too,
- 1:24:32Speaker 8: not because of the same reason they do, but you
- 1:24:34Speaker 8: just you go in the corner.
- 1:24:36Speaker 1: You're just drying his.
- 1:24:37Speaker 8: Car, and so like you don't breathe for a minute,
- 1:24:40Speaker 8: like for a breathe fifteen seconds right then you might
- 1:24:42Speaker 8: breathe down a straight away.
- 1:24:43Speaker 2: Then this corner comes.
- 1:24:44Speaker 8: Again and you hold your breath. And I think that
- 1:24:46Speaker 8: he was probably doing that to an excess. And then
- 1:24:50Speaker 8: he gets out when's the race gets out and goes yeah,
- 1:24:53Speaker 8: you know, it just goes expels all of this excitement
- 1:24:56Speaker 8: and then and then he goes you know, he just
- 1:24:58Speaker 8: gets sick. I mean, I wondered, like if say, take
- 1:25:03Speaker 8: yourself to like, you know, a moment in a game
- 1:25:10Speaker 8: where you're you're playing hard, You're you're you're using your
- 1:25:14Speaker 8: you're you're using all of your energy, right, you're pushing
- 1:25:17Speaker 8: yourself almost of that limit, you know where that limit
- 1:25:19Speaker 8: is where you can ride all day, And you're right there,
- 1:25:22Speaker 8: and then you have a great play that you expelled
- 1:25:24Speaker 8: a little more to get that play to happen, right,
- 1:25:26Speaker 8: and you you're like, fucking, I went a little hard there,
- 1:25:29Speaker 8: and then you maybe celebrate, you know, and and there's
- 1:25:32Speaker 8: this sort of uh, your body sort of says fucking
- 1:25:36Speaker 8: calm down, man, you know you're about to throw up? Yeah,
- 1:25:39Speaker 8: or have you ever had that?
- 1:25:41Speaker 2: I've never had it, but I know guys. Guys do
- 1:25:43Speaker 2: throw up, like I mean, when you're exerting all that energy.
- 1:25:45Speaker 2: Yeah way, So even even with workouts, guys would be
- 1:25:47Speaker 2: puken after like GPP or something when you're doing like
- 1:25:49Speaker 2: work capacity.
- 1:25:50Speaker 3: So yeah, I never I only threw up. I remember
- 1:25:53Speaker 3: ever throwing up in a game. I know what you're
- 1:25:56Speaker 3: talking about though, with like the like exertion of energy.
- 1:25:59Speaker 3: For me, it always came like a long drives and
- 1:26:01Speaker 3: you think you score and then you're getting hyped with
- 1:26:03Speaker 3: the boys. You're celebrating. Then there's a flag or they
- 1:26:06Speaker 3: actually call it back and you do another play and
- 1:26:07Speaker 3: you're like, oh yeah, because your your body has a
- 1:26:10Speaker 3: sense of being like, okay, it's over. I've smelled the
- 1:26:12Speaker 3: rest right now, because you know you have a break
- 1:26:14Speaker 3: coming up. That's perfect, and it's like oh no, no, no,
- 1:26:15Speaker 3: you got to go one more or two more plays,
- 1:26:17Speaker 3: that's perfect. But I've never ran into a situation where
- 1:26:20Speaker 3: I threw up. We had we played a game in
- 1:26:21Speaker 3: London and I think I think it was twenty sixteen
- 1:26:24Speaker 3: against the Chargers, and my left guard got hurt, and
- 1:26:27Speaker 3: then Corey Levin shout out the boy who just actually resigned.
- 1:26:30Speaker 3: He didn't think he was playing. So he's having pints
- 1:26:33Speaker 3: in London with the boys that he's he's enjoying London
- 1:26:35Speaker 3: a little bit. And I remember, like right when he
- 1:26:37Speaker 3: got in the game, we had like an eight nine,
- 1:26:39Speaker 3: ten play drive and we're in the middle of the
- 1:26:41Speaker 3: field and we're in the huddle kind of waiting. I
- 1:26:43Speaker 3: think it was like a TV timeout or an injury
- 1:26:45Speaker 3: timeout or something like that, and he just starts puking.
- 1:26:47Speaker 3: I'm started rubbing his back. Hey, you don't be all right, okay,
- 1:26:50Speaker 3: but there's nothing worse than I can't imagine the feeling
- 1:26:53Speaker 3: of being in the middle of a game.
- 1:26:54Speaker 2: Yeah, no, yack.
- 1:26:57Speaker 8: I'm not a puker. I don't. I can't, like I can.
- 1:26:59Speaker 3: I had one situation.
- 1:27:00Speaker 8: I can get shithammered drunk and I feel like I
- 1:27:03Speaker 8: want to throw up, and I know that I will
- 1:27:05Speaker 8: feel better if I do. I had a stomach bug
- 1:27:06Speaker 8: last week and I'm laying on the couch like God,
- 1:27:10Speaker 8: if I could just throw up, but I ain't got it.
- 1:27:12Speaker 2: I'm not like that. I can't do it. We had
- 1:27:17Speaker 2: some bad oysters in New Orleans and it was like,
- 1:27:20Speaker 2: I'm laying in bed and I'm thinking the same thought
- 1:27:22Speaker 2: you are on the couch. I get man, I just
- 1:27:23Speaker 2: got to throw up. I'll just sit there and gag
- 1:27:25Speaker 2: myself until I don't think.
- 1:27:27Speaker 8: I can't see even trying that.
- 1:27:28Speaker 2: I don't.
- 1:27:28Speaker 8: I've tried to do that back in the day.
- 1:27:30Speaker 2: I just can't.
- 1:27:30Speaker 8: It's got to come out the other end.
- 1:27:32Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, you go, that's so you've never you've
- 1:27:35Speaker 2: never puked.
- 1:27:36Speaker 8: Not many times like I did, get real fucked up
- 1:27:41Speaker 8: one time. And I remember the last time I threw up.
- 1:27:45Speaker 8: I remember last time I puked drunk. That's a long
- 1:27:47Speaker 8: time ago.
- 1:27:48Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.
- 1:27:49Speaker 3: The drinking, the drinking always gets me. Beer Olympics. I
- 1:27:52Speaker 3: can hold myself for a while. I can't do once
- 1:27:55Speaker 3: I know that the game's over.
- 1:27:56Speaker 8: I'll even tell like, I'm I'll go on a trip
- 1:27:58Speaker 8: with some buddies and I'll tell them, like in a
- 1:28:00Speaker 8: text message were we leave, I'm like, don't even fucking
- 1:28:02Speaker 8: talk about shots.
- 1:28:03Speaker 2: We're not doing.
- 1:28:04Speaker 3: I got I drink. I drink beer all day.
- 1:28:07Speaker 8: I know my thing. I gotta I got a damn
- 1:28:10Speaker 8: playing right, Ye know how I know my pace? Yeah,
- 1:28:14Speaker 8: you get up, you don't be getting Don't throw a
- 1:28:18Speaker 8: shot into the middle of the day or you know,
- 1:28:20Speaker 8: eight o'clock at night after we've been going for eight hours.
- 1:28:23Speaker 8: Don't be throwing a shot in there, because that that
- 1:28:25Speaker 8: ruins it.
- 1:28:26Speaker 3: That's when you've been going for eight hours. I am
- 1:28:29Speaker 3: a villainous friend when you're out because I all start
- 1:28:33Speaker 3: to get a little, a little cooked up. And then
- 1:28:35Speaker 3: when I took put the on switch on. I want
- 1:28:37Speaker 3: to go. Yeah, but I don't want to go alone.
- 1:28:39Speaker 3: It's not fun to go alone. You want to bring
- 1:28:40Speaker 3: your boys with you. So I'm definitely the guy that's
- 1:28:42Speaker 3: like I was always buying shots. I'll buy out like
- 1:28:44Speaker 3: I'll buy like, hey, let me get twenty of them
- 1:28:47Speaker 3: and I'll just start dishing them out.
- 1:28:48Speaker 2: I don't go to Will you take it?
- 1:28:50Speaker 3: I know Will is big on, like I got your
- 1:28:52Speaker 3: buddy and then one, two three or heal like sit
- 1:28:54Speaker 3: in the corner.
- 1:28:55Speaker 2: So I got to stay on, stay on, Will.
- 1:28:57Speaker 8: I'm watching. I'm watching. Yeah, I can see, Yeah, somebody.
- 1:29:01Speaker 2: Somebody's getting a freaking shot. They're getting shots. You got to.
- 1:29:05Speaker 3: Hug my beer so I can spit the shot in
- 1:29:07Speaker 3: the beer.
- 1:29:09Speaker 2: Smart.
- 1:29:10Speaker 8: I'd rather chug a full beer than to take that shot.
- 1:29:14Speaker 8: But easily, like there's a couple of SIPs left in
- 1:29:16Speaker 8: the beer and I'm like, I'll see it coming. I'll
- 1:29:17Speaker 8: be like, all right, I'm ready to take your shot.
- 1:29:22Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:29:24Speaker 3: Yeah, the whole the drinking thing, eight hours in the
- 1:29:26Speaker 3: boosing with the boy zoned shots get brought up. It
- 1:29:29Speaker 3: always sounds like a good idea, but it always often.
- 1:29:31Speaker 2: I mean, if you're drunk, you're not really in the
- 1:29:34Speaker 2: mindset of saying no anymore. Yeah. Real maturity is realizing,
- 1:29:37Speaker 2: like you're around eleven PM, you stop drinking.
- 1:29:39Speaker 3: Yeah, like you're like, let me try to. That's when
- 1:29:42Speaker 3: your brains just be like, hey, there is a tomorrow. Yeah,
- 1:29:44Speaker 3: if you're lucky enough, it's going to be tomorrow.
- 1:29:46Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:29:47Speaker 3: That's when it becomes tough.
- 1:29:48Speaker 2: Man.
- 1:29:48Speaker 3: You were talking about like all this stuff that happens
- 1:29:51Speaker 3: before the race. So I won't speak for Will, but
- 1:29:54Speaker 3: for me, like the most anxiety I would have before
- 1:29:57Speaker 3: a game would be jogging out there doing announcements.
- 1:30:01Speaker 2: Hey, how we doing.
- 1:30:02Speaker 3: Everyone's kind of wapping up, guys.
- 1:30:03Speaker 2: Are in the corner praying.
- 1:30:04Speaker 3: Then all of a sudden, the national anthem happens. And
- 1:30:06Speaker 3: when that national anthem happens, it's like my heart rate
- 1:30:09Speaker 3: is probably higher than it'll be the entire day. Like
- 1:30:10Speaker 3: I'm just thinking about all the possible things that could
- 1:30:13Speaker 3: go wrong. How like what these plays are? These specific ones?
- 1:30:16Speaker 3: So my anxiety is so high. Yeah, what's it like
- 1:30:18Speaker 3: for you when it's like you're doing the announcements and
- 1:30:21Speaker 3: then you have to go shake the hands, kiss the babies, Like,
- 1:30:23Speaker 3: I can't imagine being social before competition. Was that a
- 1:30:27Speaker 3: very difficult thing for you?
- 1:30:28Speaker 8: Very difficult?
- 1:30:29Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 1:30:29Speaker 8: That was our sport. Our sport prides itself on being
- 1:30:34Speaker 8: really accessible. So we we did it because it was
- 1:30:37Speaker 8: like we're boasting on our sport right in our industry,
- 1:30:40Speaker 8: and how how how how people can come up and
- 1:30:42Speaker 8: check your hand or say hey, hey to us right
- 1:30:44Speaker 8: before climbing in the car. But it was hard mentally
- 1:30:48Speaker 8: to like really listen to a conversation if somebody, somebody
- 1:30:51Speaker 8: wanted to tell you a story, like hey man, we met.
- 1:30:53Speaker 2: That's how it always is.
- 1:30:55Speaker 8: I'm like, yeah, I can't really tune in right now.
- 1:30:57Speaker 8: I'm I'm also sit here wrinkle my forehead, nod.
- 1:31:00Speaker 2: Yes, I really When people too are like, hey, do
- 1:31:02Speaker 2: you remember me? Yeah, bro, I'm about to jump in
- 1:31:08Speaker 2: this car right now? Race?
- 1:31:10Speaker 3: Yeah you want me to recall remember that we have
- 1:31:13Speaker 3: a little awareness, Like if you're about to go jump
- 1:31:15Speaker 3: in a car and you do five hundred.
- 1:31:17Speaker 8: Minds, it's like any all of the all of the
- 1:31:20Speaker 8: anything happening, like in that two hours before the race,
- 1:31:23Speaker 8: before you're climbing in that car, is it feels like
- 1:31:26Speaker 8: just a big, big obstacle and you cannot wait to
- 1:31:31Speaker 8: get in the car because you can't be reached. You
- 1:31:34Speaker 8: can't be you're you're in there and you're no one's
- 1:31:36Speaker 8: coming in there with you, right, And you finally like
- 1:31:40Speaker 8: get some and you're sitting on your ass right, so
- 1:31:42Speaker 8: you're like relaxed and you're in your seat that's custom
- 1:31:44Speaker 8: made for you. Everything feels good and comfortable and sometimes uh,
- 1:31:51Speaker 8: on them hot. I don't know if you guys ever
- 1:31:53Speaker 8: did this. Thinking about the hot days that we had.
- 1:31:56Speaker 8: I would get a water bottle, multiple water bottles, a
- 1:32:00Speaker 8: hole in the end of it, and I would soak
- 1:32:01Speaker 8: my entire suit before I got in the car and
- 1:32:05Speaker 8: so my thought process was my body sweats to cool
- 1:32:08Speaker 8: me down. If I'm already wet, I'm already kind of
- 1:32:10Speaker 8: beating it to the punch and it's still gonna sweat.
- 1:32:12Speaker 2: I'm still gonna burn, you know, lose some water.
- 1:32:15Speaker 1: Uh.
- 1:32:15Speaker 8: But I'm but I'm like it, don't have to rush
- 1:32:17Speaker 8: to do that job or get that started in the
- 1:32:19Speaker 8: first hour of the race, right, And so if I
- 1:32:21Speaker 8: soak the suit, now it's not poor. It's just wet.
- 1:32:24Speaker 8: The whole fucking thing's wet, like you put it in
- 1:32:25Speaker 8: the bucket and ring it, wrung it out.
- 1:32:27Speaker 2: Man.
- 1:32:28Speaker 8: I'd get in the car and I'm pretty comfortable even
- 1:32:31Speaker 8: on like a ninety five degree day, and as soon
- 1:32:32Speaker 8: as I get moving any kind of air moving, it's
- 1:32:35Speaker 8: like coat cool and yeah, and like it's bring.
- 1:32:39Speaker 2: The water bottle and just squirt it all over there
- 1:32:41Speaker 2: before game. Yeah.
- 1:32:42Speaker 3: I feel like when you first start sweating too, like
- 1:32:44Speaker 3: like if you get in the sauna and yeah, that
- 1:32:46Speaker 3: first five minutes when your body begins to swea you
- 1:32:48Speaker 3: have like an irritation almost like you're like, h kind
- 1:32:51Speaker 3: of itchy. Yeah, and then finally you get into a
- 1:32:52Speaker 3: good sweat and you feel good. So I like that move. Yeah,
- 1:32:55Speaker 3: I like that moved After that, that's the So the
- 1:32:57Speaker 3: point you sit in the car is when you feel
- 1:32:59Speaker 3: like relaxed, yes, because for us it's it's the first hit, like,
- 1:33:01Speaker 3: let's get the first play done.
- 1:33:03Speaker 2: Yeah, you can get your first play the way then
- 1:33:04Speaker 2: you feel.
- 1:33:05Speaker 3: Me let me, let me put my hands on somebody
- 1:33:06Speaker 3: real quick. How we really feel in the day. That's
- 1:33:08Speaker 3: when you know what kind of day it's going to be. Yeah,
- 1:33:11Speaker 3: because you get the first couple of plays and it's
- 1:33:12Speaker 3: like you might maybe mess up on the first three
- 1:33:15Speaker 3: plays of the game. Yeah, that's a different that's a
- 1:33:17Speaker 3: different mental warfare right there.
- 1:33:19Speaker 8: Yeah, how long? How where do you remember games where
- 1:33:22Speaker 8: you were like struggling to find yourself to fall into
- 1:33:26Speaker 8: that like comfortable space.
- 1:33:28Speaker 2: Not like a not like a fool game. Yes, yeah,
- 1:33:30Speaker 2: I mean I guess for an alignment, it's it feels
- 1:33:32Speaker 2: a little bit. It feels a little bit different because
- 1:33:34Speaker 2: I feel like you're kind of in sync on doing
- 1:33:36Speaker 2: the same thing. Like if you're blocking well, you're blocking well.
- 1:33:39Speaker 2: But I like between like if you have a bad
- 1:33:41Speaker 2: run play or a past play on defense, it wouldn't
- 1:33:44Speaker 2: really be something that it just like consumes you like,
- 1:33:47Speaker 2: goes into your play the rest of the day. But
- 1:33:49Speaker 2: it's more so like it's that play that's just sitting
- 1:33:51Speaker 2: in your head the entire time. You go back to
- 1:33:53Speaker 2: the sideline. So you might make a play, you're not
- 1:33:55Speaker 2: even really caring that you made a play because you
- 1:33:57Speaker 2: were thinking about what you played before. Yeah. For me,
- 1:33:59Speaker 2: coach going to coach you when you get in the
- 1:34:01Speaker 2: film room and everything else.
- 1:34:02Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I wish there was a way to like
- 1:34:05Speaker 3: combat that, because I feel like it goes through every
- 1:34:07Speaker 3: player's mind is like what are the coaches going to
- 1:34:10Speaker 3: say about this on Monday? And you're in the first
- 1:34:12Speaker 3: quarter of the game and you're like, oh, I can't
- 1:34:14Speaker 3: wait to get past that to worry about that.
- 1:34:16Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:34:16Speaker 3: For offensive line, it's very like there's a lot of
- 1:34:19Speaker 3: precision that goes into it, especially with pass blocking. So
- 1:34:22Speaker 3: for me, it was like feeling out the speed of
- 1:34:24Speaker 3: the individual. I'd watch them on film like, Okay, this
- 1:34:26Speaker 3: person's faster, they're a little slower with their more power.
- 1:34:29Speaker 3: It was really just like feeling them and understanding, Okay,
- 1:34:32Speaker 3: what is what does my tempo have to be against
- 1:34:34Speaker 3: this person?
- 1:34:34Speaker 2: All day?
- 1:34:35Speaker 3: And that first couple of pass plays, whether it was
- 1:34:37Speaker 3: in the first drive. Luckily hopefully you don't go three
- 1:34:40Speaker 3: and out. But if you have like a good like
- 1:34:42Speaker 3: six to seven play drive in the first first series
- 1:34:45Speaker 3: and you're able to kind of put your hands on
- 1:34:46Speaker 3: them and feel it, that's when you feel a whole
- 1:34:48Speaker 3: lot better. The tough is that first third down, Like
- 1:34:50Speaker 3: the first thing you brought up. I remember we were
- 1:34:52Speaker 3: playing the Saints. Has had to be like twenty twenty
- 1:34:55Speaker 3: one or early like twenty twenty or night nineteen, and
- 1:34:58Speaker 3: we played the first series and I overset a guy
- 1:35:02Speaker 3: d big guy from you uh, from University of Texas
- 1:35:06Speaker 3: El Paso, but I overset him and that was a
- 1:35:08Speaker 3: first third down of the game, and you just get
- 1:35:10Speaker 3: in your head. You're like and we got off the
- 1:35:11Speaker 3: field after that, and you have to think, like, Okay,
- 1:35:13Speaker 3: what did I go?
- 1:35:14Speaker 2: What went wrong there? How do I have to fix this?
- 1:35:16Speaker 2: Throw it?
- 1:35:16Speaker 3: Be sure, shout, I get out a little bit more.
- 1:35:17Speaker 3: And then they start saying guessing all of these things
- 1:35:20Speaker 3: you're doing. Yeah, from a technique standpoint, that was always
- 1:35:22Speaker 3: like just the mental game that was going on.
- 1:35:24Speaker 8: Yeah, while playing, I didn't think about that, like that's crazy,
- 1:35:27Speaker 8: because like when I'm watching a game and there's a
- 1:35:29Speaker 8: three and out, especially the first drive, you're thinking about
- 1:35:32Speaker 8: the Yeah, the the confidence of the quarterback. Can't damn
- 1:35:39Speaker 8: is this the is this an omen for the rest
- 1:35:40Speaker 8: of the day. Can we stop the other team from
- 1:35:43Speaker 8: putting points on the board getting behind? You don't even
- 1:35:46Speaker 8: think about like the individual other individuals on the field
- 1:35:49Speaker 8: and now they're you know, because I can't see the
- 1:35:51Speaker 8: details and go, damn though my old lineman feeling pretty
- 1:35:54Speaker 8: shitty about that, right because he did this or that
- 1:35:56Speaker 8: and the other. You don't even think about those guys
- 1:35:58Speaker 8: walking off the field and how that affect their their confidence.
- 1:36:02Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a it's an interesting and that's we talked
- 1:36:05Speaker 3: about football obviously the football podcast. But like eleven guys
- 1:36:07Speaker 3: in the field have to do their job, and especially
- 1:36:10Speaker 3: with the offensive line, Like it is such a mental
- 1:36:13Speaker 3: game that goes along with the physicality of it, especially
- 1:36:16Speaker 3: in pass part because that's how you get paid. Yeah,
- 1:36:18Speaker 3: the less sacks you get up give up, the more
- 1:36:20Speaker 3: money you make. And so like those are like it's
- 1:36:22Speaker 3: like run block for show, pass block for dough And
- 1:36:25Speaker 3: if you can get in there and and really just
- 1:36:27Speaker 3: feel confident earlier in the game, it makes everything so
- 1:36:30Speaker 3: much easier.
- 1:36:30Speaker 2: And you just know too, just being a competitor and
- 1:36:33Speaker 2: being an athlete with the NASCAR, like if you take
- 1:36:35Speaker 2: a turn wrong, it's more about like you having the
- 1:36:38Speaker 2: goldfish memory of thinking, all right, this is correctable. I
- 1:36:41Speaker 2: got reached on this run play. I was in a
- 1:36:43Speaker 2: bad position. I took a bad first step, Like you
- 1:36:46Speaker 2: just got to correct the process. And you were like, yeah,
- 1:36:49Speaker 2: you know your preparation to be in a better position.
- 1:36:51Speaker 2: But if you end up letting that stuff consume me,
- 1:36:53Speaker 2: like oh, I'm taking these turns wrong or oh I'm
- 1:36:55Speaker 2: just not playing well today, and then it just kind
- 1:36:57Speaker 2: of consumes your entire being at starts, stacking and stack.
- 1:37:01Speaker 2: You have to be able to put you have to
- 1:37:03Speaker 2: be able to put those like plays behind you if
- 1:37:05Speaker 2: you're going to get out of whatever that said run is.
- 1:37:07Speaker 2: Because usually it's just like a technique thing.
- 1:37:09Speaker 3: But when you when you're talking about like you don't
- 1:37:10Speaker 3: think about the offensive lineman, like when I watched NASCAR
- 1:37:13Speaker 3: being a casual feeling. I know how to drive a car,
- 1:37:15Speaker 3: I can drive stick, but I'm not thinking about the
- 1:37:18Speaker 3: technique that you guys are going through. I'm just seeing like, hey,
- 1:37:21Speaker 3: they're breaking pretty hard on that turn. It seems like
- 1:37:23Speaker 3: but like what like the small pieces of game that
- 1:37:26Speaker 3: you would like kind of folcus like what were like
- 1:37:28Speaker 3: kind of your mental hurdles you to go through.
- 1:37:30Speaker 8: So yeah, they in the conversation we were having, Uh,
- 1:37:35Speaker 8: you're your the car is a really big part of
- 1:37:40Speaker 8: the success or failure that you're going to have that day.
- 1:37:43Speaker 8: And so your guys, it's your body, and it's your
- 1:37:46Speaker 8: preparation and all your You go out there and if
- 1:37:49Speaker 8: you're talented and and you've prey prepared and you know
- 1:37:52Speaker 8: your opponent, you go out there and it's you right.
- 1:37:55Speaker 8: But as a driver, you kind of a lot of
- 1:37:58Speaker 8: times or at the mercy of the ability of the
- 1:38:01Speaker 8: car and if it can do it or not, and
- 1:38:02Speaker 8: you'll go and start those you'll start the race and
- 1:38:05Speaker 8: run like a handful of corners and you're you're judging
- 1:38:09Speaker 8: the car. You're going, Is this damn thing any good?
- 1:38:12Speaker 8: Is it gonna be better?
- 1:38:13Speaker 2: Is it?
- 1:38:13Speaker 8: Is it better than that guy? I'm catching him and I'm
- 1:38:15Speaker 8: caught him there? Yeah, Okay, I'm doing this right. It's
- 1:38:17Speaker 8: doing that right, and or it's sucking and you're out
- 1:38:21Speaker 8: of control, and you don't have the grip, and you're
- 1:38:24Speaker 8: losing positions, and guys are on your ass and and
- 1:38:26Speaker 8: and breathing down your neck, and your confidence in the
- 1:38:30Speaker 8: car determines whether you spiral down or continue to do well.
- 1:38:36Speaker 8: And so as the in the very first handful of lapse,
- 1:38:40Speaker 8: a driver is really just judging this car and and
- 1:38:45Speaker 8: critiquing the car, and Okay, if it's not great, we're
- 1:38:48Speaker 8: gonna have a chance to fix it. On the first
- 1:38:50Speaker 8: pit stop, pull down pit road. Tell the crew chief
- 1:38:53Speaker 8: everything you can to get, give him the all the
- 1:38:55Speaker 8: information you can to make so he can make the
- 1:38:56Speaker 8: best choice to fix the car, improve the car. He
- 1:38:59Speaker 8: gets a chance to improve it. You go back out there,
- 1:39:02Speaker 8: all right, did he fix his some of a bit.
- 1:39:04Speaker 8: We're gonna start the we're gonna get the ring flag
- 1:39:06Speaker 8: and start to continue the race. Either it's improved and
- 1:39:10Speaker 8: you're happy, Hey, great job man, you fucking fix my problem.
- 1:39:12Speaker 8: I'm better, or he didn't fix it at all. It
- 1:39:15Speaker 8: didn't It didn't make a damn bit of difference. And
- 1:39:17Speaker 8: now you're like doubting the ability of your team and
- 1:39:21Speaker 8: yourself to even make the day better. And sometimes it
- 1:39:25Speaker 8: doesn't get better. Sometimes you just have a car that
- 1:39:27Speaker 8: doesn't do what you want it to do, and you
- 1:39:28Speaker 8: got to drive a son of a gun for three
- 1:39:30Speaker 8: and a half hours and it sucks. But some days
- 1:39:32Speaker 8: you start with a bad car, make it better and
- 1:39:34Speaker 8: you have a great day and you're proud of that,
- 1:39:35Speaker 8: and you're proud of your guys, and you're some days
- 1:39:38Speaker 8: you start to racing. Shit's bad ass and it's awesome
- 1:39:40Speaker 8: all day. But you're always reliant on this car to
- 1:39:45Speaker 8: like do things. Uh, And you could be the best
- 1:39:48Speaker 8: race car driver, smartest guy, know everything you need to know,
- 1:39:52Speaker 8: and if your car sucks, you can't overcome that, right,
- 1:39:55Speaker 8: You can't. You can't wield that car in into into
- 1:39:57Speaker 8: being what it can't do.
- 1:40:00Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, with your drivers, have you ever been like
- 1:40:03Speaker 2: in the with the crew on race day? Like are
- 1:40:06Speaker 2: you went from driver to the stuff that you do
- 1:40:08Speaker 2: actually do media stuff? But have you ever experienced, like,
- 1:40:12Speaker 2: you know, taking the chance to be like put yourself
- 1:40:14Speaker 2: in as like a coach like coach Earnhardt.
- 1:40:16Speaker 8: A little bit not a ton But we ran the
- 1:40:19Speaker 8: Daytona five hundred this past February for the first time
- 1:40:22Speaker 8: as a team. So my team that I've owned as
- 1:40:25Speaker 8: an owner, runs in basically kind of what is what
- 1:40:28Speaker 8: i'd call the college level, and we have four full
- 1:40:31Speaker 8: time teams and they race on Saturday before the big
- 1:40:34Speaker 8: boys on Sunday. And so that's what we've been doing
- 1:40:37Speaker 8: this February. This past February, we entered a car in
- 1:40:40Speaker 8: the Dayton five hundred, which is the biggest race of
- 1:40:42Speaker 8: the year for the for for NASCAR, and I was
- 1:40:49Speaker 8: I had I had a lot of fun because I
- 1:40:51Speaker 8: was way more plugged in, way more vocal. I was
- 1:40:53Speaker 8: on the radio during the races, talking to the driver,
- 1:40:55Speaker 8: and I worked on the car a little bit in
- 1:40:57Speaker 8: the garage, and like it was just I was able
- 1:40:59Speaker 8: to be more I was able to be more hands on.
- 1:41:02Speaker 8: And I don't necessarily coach coach the drivers all that much.
- 1:41:07Speaker 8: It's hard. I was talking to one of my drivers
- 1:41:09Speaker 8: this morning about a race coming up this weekend, and
- 1:41:13Speaker 8: I'm sitting there and I'm like trying to explain some
- 1:41:15Speaker 8: things that are unique about this particular racetrack, and You're
- 1:41:18Speaker 8: just wondering, you know, like how much of it they're
- 1:41:19Speaker 8: picking up because they're young, and I remember being young,
- 1:41:21Speaker 8: and damn, you could tell me all kinds of awesome
- 1:41:24Speaker 8: freaking information, but I might not be like processing it
- 1:41:28Speaker 8: and taking it in. I just got to go out
- 1:41:30Speaker 8: there and experience it right and see the wrong and
- 1:41:32Speaker 8: the right and and and and adjusting fix and you know,
- 1:41:36Speaker 8: just learn by doing. But so I try to coach,
- 1:41:40Speaker 8: but a lot of times, man, they just look at
- 1:41:42Speaker 8: you with this bewilderment and they're like young and like, yeah,
- 1:41:46Speaker 8: I got I know what you mean, and you're like
- 1:41:47Speaker 8: I'm not sure you know what I mean.
- 1:41:51Speaker 2: And we'll see.
- 1:41:52Speaker 8: But you know, my dad, you know, tried to help
- 1:41:57Speaker 8: me a little bit with some advice and driving and
- 1:41:59Speaker 8: and it was really good. And so I mean, I
- 1:42:01Speaker 8: try to I try to talk to my driver sometimes,
- 1:42:04Speaker 8: but a lot of times they just got to go
- 1:42:05Speaker 8: out there and see it and do it.
- 1:42:08Speaker 2: We interrupt this episode to bring you Neutral Vodka Seltzer.
- 1:42:11Speaker 2: Have you tried Neutral? If not, you are missing out.
- 1:42:14Speaker 2: It is the best seltzer that I have tried that
- 1:42:17Speaker 2: is on the market. It's made with real vodka and
- 1:42:19Speaker 2: real juice, and that's what makes it so delicious. It
- 1:42:21Speaker 2: comes in a variety of flavors pineapple, watermelon, to name
- 1:42:24Speaker 2: a couple, and they also have a new. They also
- 1:42:26Speaker 2: have new flavors lime and strawberry, and it is the
- 1:42:30Speaker 2: perfect drink when hanging with friends. Boys games are popping off, baseball, basketball,
- 1:42:35Speaker 2: whether you're at a bar, grab yourself a cold. Neutral.
- 1:42:38Speaker 2: The sun is coming out, spring is upon us, the
- 1:42:40Speaker 2: grills are coming out, the boys are in the backyard.
- 1:42:43Speaker 2: Bring yourself some Neutrals, have a fun time with the
- 1:42:45Speaker 2: friends and bring the vibes to life. Neutral keep a
- 1:42:49Speaker 2: tasty server. A time where driver comes in and you
- 1:42:51Speaker 2: gotta get hard on them.
- 1:42:53Speaker 8: Oh yeah, I mean, you know, there were some. There's
- 1:42:55Speaker 8: definitely times when they're they're just not you know, they're
- 1:42:58Speaker 8: they're they're making their doing things that are detrimental to
- 1:43:02Speaker 8: their success. They're getting frustrated and arguing or fighting with
- 1:43:06Speaker 8: other drivers, or doing things on the racetrack with the
- 1:43:08Speaker 8: car physically with other drivers. That this that you're hurting yourself,
- 1:43:12Speaker 8: you know, and you're letting your You need to have
- 1:43:14Speaker 8: your focus on trying to win this race today. And
- 1:43:17Speaker 8: I know you pissed at this guy and you want
- 1:43:19Speaker 8: to get his ass back, you know, But but that
- 1:43:21Speaker 8: that you can do that, but it's gonna keep you
- 1:43:23Speaker 8: from trying to win the race. Yeah, And so there's
- 1:43:26Speaker 8: some times when they or you know, maybe they're not
- 1:43:30Speaker 8: putting in the week week the week work, the work, studying, prepping,
- 1:43:36Speaker 8: taking you know, physical care of themselves or things like that.
- 1:43:39Speaker 8: Sometimes you might get on a driver about his focus,
- 1:43:42Speaker 8: like week to week focus, because they got a it's competitive, man.
- 1:43:46Speaker 2: The everybody that.
- 1:43:48Speaker 8: Matters toward this guy's career, every everybody that matters toward
- 1:43:53Speaker 8: a young driver's career is paying attention to the things
- 1:43:56Speaker 8: he's doing. And it's the details and is he studying,
- 1:43:59Speaker 8: is he working out? Is is he got himself in
- 1:44:02Speaker 8: great shape? Is he all fucking around drinking beer with
- 1:44:05Speaker 8: his boys all night long? Every you know, during the week.
- 1:44:09Speaker 8: Do we know where he is right on a Monday night,
- 1:44:11Speaker 8: on a Tuesday night?
- 1:44:14Speaker 2: You know.
- 1:44:14Speaker 8: And so they're the people that matter are paying attention,
- 1:44:17Speaker 8: and that's what I try to tell them, Like, you know,
- 1:44:19Speaker 8: if you're everybody's watching right everything you do so good
- 1:44:23Speaker 8: the right ship.
- 1:44:23Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, and you in your mind, what does
- 1:44:26Speaker 3: a week routine look like that You're like, Okay, that's
- 1:44:28Speaker 3: a good routine.
- 1:44:29Speaker 2: You have.
- 1:44:30Speaker 3: Well, your race on Sunday.
- 1:44:31Speaker 8: Yeah, they race on Sunday, They race Saturday or Sunday,
- 1:44:33Speaker 8: but they're gonna be in the sim which is basically,
- 1:44:37Speaker 8: we don't have practice.
- 1:44:38Speaker 2: We can't.
- 1:44:38Speaker 8: We don't have a lot of practice where you actually
- 1:44:40Speaker 8: go to the racetrack and take the car out and
- 1:44:41Speaker 8: run it around. So we have simulators, big giant, multimillion
- 1:44:45Speaker 8: dollar simulators that you climb into and you drive in
- 1:44:48Speaker 8: a in a virtual world. And the manufacturers Chevrolet Toyo
- 1:44:52Speaker 8: to four, they've spent millions of dollars on these simulators
- 1:44:54Speaker 8: and getting a couple hours in one is very valuable
- 1:44:57Speaker 8: and anytime you get an opportunity to do that, you
- 1:44:59Speaker 8: do it. And there's got you've got to volunteer to
- 1:45:03Speaker 8: be in that simulator right to be able to work
- 1:45:05Speaker 8: on your craft. You can work on the setup of
- 1:45:07Speaker 8: the car, new ideas, run and practice different lines and
- 1:45:10Speaker 8: stuff like that in the simulator and it transfers over
- 1:45:13Speaker 8: into the real world. So on Monday morning, I think
- 1:45:17Speaker 8: you either need to be working out. There's a group
- 1:45:20Speaker 8: of drivers that work out together. All of the Chevrolet
- 1:45:24Speaker 8: guys work out together. They have a Chevrolet program where
- 1:45:26Speaker 8: there's this coach that his name's Josh Wise, and he
- 1:45:29Speaker 8: he coaches all of the Chevy drivers on they do
- 1:45:32Speaker 8: reaction time games and ship where the light on the
- 1:45:34Speaker 8: wall and they're doing yeah right, they're doing all of
- 1:45:37Speaker 8: that shit. And they'll they'll go jump in the lake
- 1:45:40Speaker 8: and swim across the channel and do ridiculous things. And
- 1:45:43Speaker 8: he never tells them what they're gonna do. You just
- 1:45:45Speaker 8: show up and you might go ride a twenty mile
- 1:45:47Speaker 8: forty mile bike ride. Just be ready. And so that's Mondays.
- 1:45:52Speaker 8: That's every morning, Monday morning, Tuesday morning, Wednesday morning. And
- 1:45:56Speaker 8: when you're not working out or doing those things with Josh,
- 1:45:58Speaker 8: they need to be in the simulator. They need to
- 1:46:00Speaker 8: be meeting with their crew. They got to meet with
- 1:46:02Speaker 8: the crew chief, go over last week's race, what went right.
- 1:46:05Speaker 2: What went wrong? What do we learn? Go over there.
- 1:46:09Speaker 8: Yeah, then they'll watch film of last year's race. They'll
- 1:46:12Speaker 8: watch the whole race. They'll say, okay, here's here's here's
- 1:46:16Speaker 8: eight guys that tried eight different strategies and this one
- 1:46:21Speaker 8: worked really well.
- 1:46:21Speaker 2: We may do that.
- 1:46:22Speaker 8: So you know, get the driver's mind kind of prepared
- 1:46:25Speaker 8: on what kind of strategies might pop up during the race,
- 1:46:27Speaker 8: so he knows what you're asking him to do. When
- 1:46:28Speaker 8: you're telling him to come down pit road and get
- 1:46:30Speaker 8: tires and fuel and so they that that's several hours
- 1:46:34Speaker 8: on a on a on a Tuesday or Wednesday. There's
- 1:46:37Speaker 8: tons of meetings and yeah, I mean that that's those
- 1:46:42Speaker 8: are the most important things. And drivers need to be
- 1:46:46Speaker 8: there in person. I know they can zoom in and
- 1:46:48Speaker 8: they can, they can kind of they can kind of
- 1:46:50Speaker 8: have asset a little bit. And I know there's places
- 1:46:52Speaker 8: they got to be too. For sponsors, there's requirements for
- 1:46:54Speaker 8: them to be out and doing things, y'all know what
- 1:46:56Speaker 8: I'm talking about there, But being present and being in
- 1:46:59Speaker 8: person and filling out. We give them note, you know,
- 1:47:04Speaker 8: the teams give them a note the big sheeter one
- 1:47:07Speaker 8: sheeter to fill out after the race, Like fill that
- 1:47:09Speaker 8: shit out, be be precise, be descriptive. We're gonna lean
- 1:47:13Speaker 8: on that note next time we go back to this
- 1:47:14Speaker 8: racetrack in six months. So give us everything you can
- 1:47:17Speaker 8: give us, right, And so those guys sometimes I remember
- 1:47:20Speaker 8: being half assed about some of that ship, like filling
- 1:47:22Speaker 8: the notes out going. I was annoyed the car didn't
- 1:47:25Speaker 8: fucking turn. That's what I wrote down, right, Yeah, And
- 1:47:27Speaker 8: I need to tell them like why didn't it turn?
- 1:47:29Speaker 8: What did it feel like?
- 1:47:30Speaker 2: Why?
- 1:47:30Speaker 8: What did I think the problem was with the car,
- 1:47:32Speaker 8: specifically the details of the of the car's mechanics, and
- 1:47:36Speaker 8: try to give them some route to the way to
- 1:47:38Speaker 8: solve that problem, right instead of just being frustrated and
- 1:47:42Speaker 8: mad about it?
- 1:47:43Speaker 2: Now do you get? Do you get you kind of
- 1:47:45Speaker 2: come on glued or get the parent voice going on
- 1:47:47Speaker 2: with some of these guys like demeanor, No.
- 1:47:50Speaker 8: I don't, No, I don't get too mad.
- 1:47:55Speaker 3: I want to so sometimes, I mean that's the perfect
- 1:48:00Speaker 3: Dale explanation effort, stays calm in every situation. However, I
- 1:48:08Speaker 3: want to Well, you know he's thinking about one guy
- 1:48:11Speaker 3: right now.
- 1:48:11Speaker 8: There's a couple there's a couple of times couple well, no,
- 1:48:13Speaker 8: there's a couple of times when there things didn't go
- 1:48:16Speaker 8: well in the race. And I mean, you know, you
- 1:48:19Speaker 8: could go into the room with with when they're meeting
- 1:48:22Speaker 8: the teams and the drivers and the creachieves. You could
- 1:48:24Speaker 8: you could go in that room and you could slam
- 1:48:25Speaker 8: your hand be you know, fist down on the table,
- 1:48:28Speaker 8: and you know, what the hell are y'all doing? Why
- 1:48:30Speaker 8: did y'all do it that way? Why you don't let
- 1:48:33Speaker 8: let that happen? Again, they don't. People don't. People don't
- 1:48:36Speaker 8: absorb that, right, They don't go and fix it. They go, damn,
- 1:48:40Speaker 8: we got to ask you today, you know, or damn
- 1:48:44Speaker 8: Dale was mad and and and they don't. You gotta
- 1:48:49Speaker 8: you gotta go in there and and say, hey, why
- 1:48:52Speaker 8: did you know? Why did that go that way? Why
- 1:48:54Speaker 8: did what do we what are we gonna do about that?
- 1:48:56Speaker 8: How are we gonna fix it next time? Or I
- 1:48:58Speaker 8: know we all got a plan, right, y'all got a
- 1:49:00Speaker 8: plan right?
- 1:49:01Speaker 2: Fix that? Do you ever listen to the right Yeah,
- 1:49:03Speaker 2: Are you ever listening to the driver knowing that you've
- 1:49:06Speaker 2: had your experience on the road and you're listening to
- 1:49:08Speaker 2: a driver and you understand the team, like what they're
- 1:49:10Speaker 2: doing for the car and everything else, to where a
- 1:49:12Speaker 2: driver comes out and they might be complaining about the car,
- 1:49:14Speaker 2: they're saying something in a way to where it's like, hey, bro,
- 1:49:17Speaker 2: you're full of shit right now. You need to figure
- 1:49:20Speaker 2: it out, you know, X, Y and Z out there
- 1:49:21Speaker 2: on the road. You're trying to blame too many other
- 1:49:23Speaker 2: things there.
- 1:49:24Speaker 8: I think the one thing that happens and I know
- 1:49:27Speaker 8: this because I did this is a lot of times
- 1:49:31Speaker 8: the driver has one line of communication, and that's the
- 1:49:35Speaker 8: crew and the team and the crew chief, right and that,
- 1:49:38Speaker 8: and so when you're mad as a driver, you have
- 1:49:41Speaker 8: only one one line of communicator. Like anything you say, right,
- 1:49:46Speaker 8: this car is a piece of shit. I'm kick fucking
- 1:49:49Speaker 8: doing all I can out here. I'm busting my ass, y'all.
- 1:49:52Speaker 8: This thing drives like shit. All of that information is
- 1:49:55Speaker 8: going directly to the people that actually put that car together,
- 1:49:57Speaker 8: that actually are there to help you, and the ones
- 1:50:00Speaker 8: that will fix it if it gets fixed.
- 1:50:02Speaker 2: Right. And so.
- 1:50:04Speaker 8: A driver gets we get confused because we're in that car.
- 1:50:08Speaker 8: We're hot, we feel like we're on an island. I
- 1:50:10Speaker 8: used to say, I felt like a castaway out there,
- 1:50:12Speaker 8: like I'm owing Bob by myself. Man, y'all don't have
- 1:50:14Speaker 8: an idea what's going on. I'm all out there by
- 1:50:16Speaker 8: myself fighting this damn thing. Y'all don't know what it's like.
- 1:50:19Speaker 8: And I'm like, this car is a piece of shit,
- 1:50:21Speaker 8: biggest piece of shit ever drove. That is the worst
- 1:50:23Speaker 8: thing to say. These guys are the ones that built it,
- 1:50:25Speaker 8: They brought it to the track. It's their car. You know,
- 1:50:28Speaker 8: you can't call a car a piece of shit to
- 1:50:29Speaker 8: the people that brought the car and fixed it and
- 1:50:32Speaker 8: ready readied it for you, and so and you you
- 1:50:35Speaker 8: can't you you can't sit there and rent and cuss
- 1:50:40Speaker 8: about I'm busting my ass. You know, they know already
- 1:50:46Speaker 8: that you're busting your ass. They're watching it. You don't
- 1:50:48Speaker 8: have to tell them. You don't have to, you know.
- 1:50:50Speaker 8: And I did this. I did this like I can.
- 1:50:52Speaker 8: And so I'll hear a driver today he get they
- 1:50:56Speaker 8: get they they need you to know, like they're giving
- 1:51:00Speaker 8: it all they got. Man, they are, they're suffering, They're
- 1:51:03Speaker 8: they're hemorrhaging confidence, uh you know, and they're getting insecure.
- 1:51:09Speaker 8: The car's not good. They're hemorrhaging all of these things.
- 1:51:12Speaker 8: And they need you to know. They're they're fighting and
- 1:51:15Speaker 8: their artwork. They're trying, they're trying to make this car
- 1:51:18Speaker 8: that you you built work and they but we have
- 1:51:21Speaker 8: a terrible delivery, and we end up really saying things
- 1:51:24Speaker 8: that are detrimental to that relationship between a driver, crew
- 1:51:26Speaker 8: and crew chief. And so sometimes I will have to
- 1:51:29Speaker 8: say or or I remember something I did, and I'll
- 1:51:32Speaker 8: hear another driver say it, and I'll go, hey, you
- 1:51:35Speaker 8: got to remember, these guys are here to help. They're
- 1:51:39Speaker 8: the ones that are gonna fix it. They're the ones
- 1:51:41Speaker 8: that you got to You got to talk to them
- 1:51:43Speaker 8: in a way that they want to fix your problem.
- 1:51:46Speaker 8: And if you piss them off or you talk to
- 1:51:48Speaker 8: them in a negative way and not, you know, not
- 1:51:50Speaker 8: a supportive way, you come down pit road, they're gonna
- 1:51:52Speaker 8: be like, fuck that guy, you know. And so when
- 1:51:55Speaker 8: you're you're coming to get help and service and get
- 1:51:58Speaker 8: your car adjusted, they're gonna be like this kid, you know,
- 1:52:00Speaker 8: he's just a pump. And so, you know, I learned
- 1:52:05Speaker 8: that the hard way a few times, and I thought,
- 1:52:09Speaker 8: you know, oh, I know these guys well enough to
- 1:52:11Speaker 8: tell them their car is a piece of shit. But
- 1:52:13Speaker 8: it's never a good idea because they.
- 1:52:15Speaker 2: Was somebody that pulled you aside the beg hey man, yeah,
- 1:52:17Speaker 2: how'd you learn that? Lesson?
- 1:52:18Speaker 8: Was your old Tony Junior, my cousin Tony Junior, my
- 1:52:21Speaker 8: my uncle Tony Senior. I worked for them on the
- 1:52:24Speaker 8: bud car back in the two thousands, and they told me,
- 1:52:27Speaker 8: they said, hey, you called the car piece of shit.
- 1:52:30Speaker 8: Don't do that. All the guys that build that car
- 1:52:32Speaker 8: work on that car listening to you. Not only the
- 1:52:34Speaker 8: guys that are in the pits and we're at the
- 1:52:36Speaker 8: racetrack that day. Also, all the guys that are sitting
- 1:52:38Speaker 8: at home. The guy that painted that car is sitting
- 1:52:41Speaker 8: at his house on the couch watching you run, hoping
- 1:52:43Speaker 8: you win, and it's gonna paint your car next week.
- 1:52:45Speaker 8: He's the one that heard you call that car piece
- 1:52:47Speaker 8: of shit. You know, all the mechanics that are not
- 1:52:49Speaker 8: travelers that are sitting at home with their family, you know,
- 1:52:53Speaker 8: all of that information. They might not hear it in
- 1:52:55Speaker 8: the moment through the airwaves or through TV, but they're
- 1:52:58Speaker 8: gonna get that information there.
- 1:53:00Speaker 2: Know you.
- 1:53:00Speaker 3: War travels quick, yeah.
- 1:53:02Speaker 8: And so you know, you just don't want to get
- 1:53:03Speaker 8: this reputation within your own team of somebody who just
- 1:53:07Speaker 8: kind of comes unhinged in the toughest moments, and that
- 1:53:10Speaker 8: and that and and his and his and his combative
- 1:53:13Speaker 8: or abrasive right in those moments.
- 1:53:16Speaker 2: But it's hard, man.
- 1:53:16Speaker 8: You're out you feel like you're out there by yourself,
- 1:53:18Speaker 8: and you feel like that nobody knows how hard this is,
- 1:53:22Speaker 8: but you and you feel like you're you are feeling
- 1:53:26Speaker 8: a sense that you're letting your team down. But your
- 1:53:29Speaker 8: reaction in your words are, guys, I'm doing every fucking
- 1:53:32Speaker 8: thing I can with this thing. It won't do anything right.
- 1:53:35Speaker 8: And what they hear is the car sucks. I'm fucking
- 1:53:38Speaker 8: I'm not the problem.
- 1:53:40Speaker 2: And you're thinking to the audience is watching the race
- 1:53:42Speaker 2: or seeing me not perform as well, it's just blaming.
- 1:53:46Speaker 2: They're not seeing that.
- 1:53:48Speaker 3: There's the casual fans not thinking about everything that goes
- 1:53:50Speaker 3: in the week before. They're thinking about this driver that car.
- 1:53:53Speaker 3: Cars got to be perfect the top of the line. Yeah,
- 1:53:56Speaker 3: this this week, and Dale is relaid down this year,
- 1:53:58Speaker 3: getting it done.
- 1:53:59Speaker 8: There's what they call YouTube this but there there's what
- 1:54:04Speaker 8: they call radioactive and that there's every driver has multiple
- 1:54:09Speaker 8: YouTube clips of themselves that fans have put together of
- 1:54:13Speaker 8: all of their worst moments.
- 1:54:14Speaker 2: Beautiful.
- 1:54:15Speaker 8: There's some good radioactive, like, hey, this one's funny. This
- 1:54:18Speaker 8: is eight eight minutes of Dale Junior being funny on
- 1:54:21Speaker 8: the radio during the race. And then there's like, you know,
- 1:54:23Speaker 8: here's five minutes of him being a complete asshole to
- 1:54:26Speaker 8: his team, you know, and there's our drivers just completely
- 1:54:30Speaker 8: coming on hand, just screaming curse words into the middle
- 1:54:32Speaker 8: distance over the air. You know, you gotta mash that
- 1:54:35Speaker 8: button because if nobody hears it it, don't you don't
- 1:54:38Speaker 8: get the relief.
- 1:54:39Speaker 2: Yeah, so there's a no talk button.
- 1:54:40Speaker 8: You having the car, you got a button that you
- 1:54:42Speaker 8: mashed to talk to the team, and like you could
- 1:54:44Speaker 8: be in their mattern hell, and you can scream it
- 1:54:47Speaker 8: don't feel good. You gotta mash that button so somebody
- 1:54:49Speaker 8: hears you, you know, And that's the worst thing when.
- 1:54:54Speaker 3: You smash that button. That's the same thing that the
- 1:54:56Speaker 3: fans can make to Yeah, so people are you if
- 1:55:00Speaker 3: you're talking ship so all you and you consciously went
- 1:55:04Speaker 3: and be like people, someone needs to hear yes right now.
- 1:55:07Speaker 2: Yeah, I gotta get this.
- 1:55:09Speaker 3: I gotta get this, just saying into the abyss, I
- 1:55:12Speaker 3: need somebody that I need to hurt somebody's feelings today
- 1:55:14Speaker 3: over this situation.
- 1:55:15Speaker 8: And then the TV sometimes takes it and puts it
- 1:55:17Speaker 8: on the actual broadcast, you know, and then now it's there,
- 1:55:21Speaker 8: it's you know, common knowledge, and then you gotta get up.
- 1:55:23Speaker 2: You get it.
- 1:55:24Speaker 8: Monday morning, you're like, damn, I shouldn't have said all
- 1:55:26Speaker 8: that day.
- 1:55:27Speaker 3: That The next day, yeah, after you have made couple
- 1:55:30Speaker 3: of actions, you wish you didn't.
- 1:55:32Speaker 8: I said, there's.
- 1:55:32Speaker 2: Sorry, Steve listened to a damn word you said. The last.
- 1:55:38Speaker 8: There was the one there's one clip on there where
- 1:55:41Speaker 8: I I'm driving around and I had had a couple
- 1:55:44Speaker 8: of loose wheels and wheel fell off a wheel. I'm
- 1:55:48Speaker 8: didn't get the wheel tight and the wheel come off
- 1:55:50Speaker 8: the car and wrecked hardest ship at Atlanta, and that
- 1:55:56Speaker 8: we're we're at another track and I got a loose wheel,
- 1:55:59Speaker 8: and I was so mad. I was like, y'all, like
- 1:56:01Speaker 8: the loose wheel, the wheel comes off at full speed,
- 1:56:03Speaker 8: you just fly into the wall and it's nasty. It's
- 1:56:05Speaker 8: a hard rick. And I I come over the rate
- 1:56:08Speaker 8: and I was like, if this fucking wheel comes off,
- 1:56:10Speaker 8: I'm hitting every one of y'all in the hand with
- 1:56:12Speaker 8: a hammer. I was like, I don't know how to
- 1:56:18Speaker 8: make y'all understand, like this is this is not fun
- 1:56:21Speaker 8: for me to be out here wondering if this wheel
- 1:56:22Speaker 8: is gonna come off or not, and I'm gonna fly
- 1:56:24Speaker 8: into the fence out of control.
- 1:56:26Speaker 2: What is that?
- 1:56:27Speaker 3: Is that like an inexcusable mistake?
- 1:56:29Speaker 2: Though it.
- 1:56:31Speaker 8: Happens, it happens, it happens rarely. But I was like, y'all, God,
- 1:56:36Speaker 8: a damn stuff. You can't leave my wheels loose. You can't.
- 1:56:39Speaker 8: And that was my only way to like, I thought
- 1:56:42Speaker 8: that was a great analogy, like I'll hit y'all with
- 1:56:44Speaker 8: a hammer. And I see that, I'll see that clip
- 1:56:48Speaker 8: on you on YouTube and I'm like, God, that's stupid.
- 1:56:51Speaker 2: Why did I say that?
- 1:56:52Speaker 8: That was so rude and crazy.
- 1:56:54Speaker 3: Necessarily it's a crazy shot to say I'm gonna put
- 1:56:56Speaker 3: you hear your with a hammer?
- 1:56:57Speaker 8: Yeah, I bet the guy I imagine and the guys
- 1:57:00Speaker 8: standing there, even though I know that they're my guys, right,
- 1:57:03Speaker 8: we're a team, and I know they're probably standing there going, well,
- 1:57:06Speaker 8: fucking asshole, right, Yeah, he's gonna hit me with a hammer.
- 1:57:10Speaker 6: Right?
- 1:57:11Speaker 2: Is there? Is there like with the wheel being loose?
- 1:57:13Speaker 3: Is there like like in football there's like basic one
- 1:57:16Speaker 3: on one ship that the coach will get up and
- 1:57:18Speaker 3: be like, l one like, this is basic one on
- 1:57:20Speaker 3: one football.
- 1:57:21Speaker 2: You can't be doing this.
- 1:57:22Speaker 3: Is there something like in the pit crew standpoint, they're
- 1:57:24Speaker 3: like you, this is something so basic that you should
- 1:57:27Speaker 3: not be messing up that they deserve an as gotta
- 1:57:30Speaker 3: fill with gases?
- 1:57:31Speaker 2: What are we doing? I don't know.
- 1:57:33Speaker 8: I mean there's everything and everything that I can think
- 1:57:36Speaker 8: of is like it's a human error, it's a it's
- 1:57:38Speaker 8: a possible, it's a possibility.
- 1:57:39Speaker 2: At any moment.
- 1:57:40Speaker 3: Very forgiving individual.
- 1:57:42Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean some guys are like zero tolerance, But
- 1:57:46Speaker 8: I mean I've lived it long enough to know that
- 1:57:49Speaker 8: there's to have zero tolerance as an expectation is not realistic.
- 1:57:52Speaker 2: Yeah when you were Yeah, that's the line. If the
- 1:57:55Speaker 2: wheel comes off and I hit the fits real hard,
- 1:57:57Speaker 2: I get to whack every damn one of you with
- 1:57:59Speaker 2: a hammer.
- 1:58:03Speaker 3: That is hilarious. Is there is there a specific individual
- 1:58:07Speaker 3: that comes to mind from like your generation of racing
- 1:58:10Speaker 3: that like was as just a known hothead with.
- 1:58:12Speaker 2: His pit crew.
- 1:58:14Speaker 8: Well, I mean I there there's some guys that were
- 1:58:17Speaker 8: pretty Kurt Busch has some good radio actors on YouTube.
- 1:58:21Speaker 8: Kyle uh Harvick was pretty pretty vocal about his team
- 1:58:28Speaker 8: like he demanded he was. He was one of the
- 1:58:30Speaker 8: guys that would would publicly say, hey, our our pit
- 1:58:35Speaker 8: crew has to improve, you know, and he would talk
- 1:58:38Speaker 8: on the radio that would end up on the broadcast
- 1:58:39Speaker 8: about his team needed to be better on pitt Road.
- 1:58:43Speaker 8: I did. I wanted to say all those things. Uh
- 1:58:46Speaker 8: you know, I have felt those things and wanted to
- 1:58:48Speaker 8: say all the things that they said, but I was
- 1:58:52Speaker 8: I didn't want it to get into the broadcast. I
- 1:58:55Speaker 8: didn't want it to be fodder for the media, right,
- 1:58:58Speaker 8: And so there was something slipping your finger off the ball.
- 1:59:00Speaker 8: Those times I slipped up, But for the most part,
- 1:59:03Speaker 8: I don't have too much radioactive bullshit out there.
- 1:59:06Speaker 2: That's funny. Yeah, if you could change any rule in NASCAR,
- 1:59:09Speaker 2: what would it be shit?
- 1:59:12Speaker 8: Just any rule? I mean, I wish we could figure
- 1:59:16Speaker 8: out a new package for the Daytona Talladega race tracks.
- 1:59:22Speaker 8: I would probably work on the rules that affect how
- 1:59:26Speaker 8: the cars race at those two places, dayton and Talladega.
- 1:59:29Speaker 8: So we go to Daytona five hundred and the cars,
- 1:59:33Speaker 8: you know, the way the race is sort of the
- 1:59:35Speaker 8: way you watch the races. You guys might not pick
- 1:59:37Speaker 8: up on it, but some of the details of how
- 1:59:39Speaker 8: the cars race and why they do some of the
- 1:59:40Speaker 8: things they do are kind of it's not as great
- 1:59:43Speaker 8: as it used to be, or it could be better
- 1:59:46Speaker 8: than what it is today. And I think it and
- 1:59:49Speaker 8: I don't know the answer that specific like technical thing
- 1:59:52Speaker 8: that needs to change, but I would love to be
- 1:59:54Speaker 8: in the process of how we can make the cars
- 1:59:57Speaker 8: do different than they do there how they race together.
- 2:00:00Speaker 8: But I'll be honest, man, racing right now the race,
- 2:00:06Speaker 8: I'm no bullshit like I'm I'm a I'm a I'm
- 2:00:09Speaker 8: a critic of the sport. I I hold them accountable
- 2:00:14Speaker 8: when I believe I know what's right. But things are
- 2:00:17Speaker 8: really good right now. Things are really really good.
- 2:00:20Speaker 2: I do know.
- 2:00:21Speaker 3: I think that's the direction you're going to go. I
- 2:00:23Speaker 3: got about I gotta be honest.
- 2:00:26Speaker 8: I was We ran Daytona and I was there right
- 2:00:28Speaker 8: we had a car in the race. I was really
- 2:00:30Speaker 8: frustrated with the way the cars raced and the way
- 2:00:32Speaker 8: there's the product on track product. I was frustrated with it.
- 2:00:36Speaker 8: A casual fan would have watched the race and not
- 2:00:39Speaker 8: seen the things that I saw. That that bothered me.
- 2:00:42Speaker 8: So there's that, but I saw things that I'm like,
- 2:00:44Speaker 8: I wish they would fix this ship. Everything from that
- 2:00:47Speaker 8: moment on, all the races that we've ran have been fantastic, spectacular,
- 2:00:51Speaker 8: and and we have this sort of very informal poll
- 2:00:56Speaker 8: that goes up on Twitter after every race by a
- 2:00:58Speaker 8: guy named Jeff Gluck, who's in who's a journ list
- 2:01:00Speaker 8: in our sport, very respected it's the good race pole,
- 2:01:03Speaker 8: and it's but it's a yes or no was it
- 2:01:06Speaker 8: a good race? And there'll be thousands and thousands of
- 2:01:08Speaker 8: people that vote on this pole every week and it's
- 2:01:10Speaker 8: very informal, just for fun, but our we've been doing
- 2:01:15Speaker 8: this poll for debt for for years, and so like
- 2:01:17Speaker 8: a really really good day is a high eighty. That's
- 2:01:20Speaker 8: like a really great it's like everybody's fucking happy with that, right,
- 2:01:25Speaker 8: Everybody like this, And so our races have all been
- 2:01:28Speaker 8: trending in the really really good high eighties and nineties,
- 2:01:31Speaker 8: and you know, there's rarely a race where people were
- 2:01:33Speaker 8: just like that sucked, you know, fifty fifty to fifty yes, no,
- 2:01:38Speaker 8: And I know that's very rudimentary, but I you know, hey,
- 2:01:42Speaker 8: it's it's a it's a small glimpse into the public
- 2:01:46Speaker 8: opinion of something. I know, it's you know on X.
- 2:01:49Speaker 8: It's not the entire world on X, but it's a
- 2:01:51Speaker 8: it's a it's an idea of people.
- 2:01:53Speaker 2: Yes, you might think, a man, these are the few
- 2:01:56Speaker 2: things that I would change. I wonder if other people
- 2:01:58Speaker 2: are catching it too. You go and just be like, hey,
- 2:01:59Speaker 2: was this a race? You see like eighty five percent, Hey,
- 2:02:02Speaker 2: I loved it. That's I know.
- 2:02:04Speaker 8: So the racings, the racing has been highly complimented, and
- 2:02:08Speaker 8: so when that's going sometimes you got to go, hey,
- 2:02:11Speaker 8: maybe I don't fucking know what is best all the time,
- 2:02:15Speaker 8: right If fans are loving what they saw Sunday, maybe
- 2:02:18Speaker 8: maybe you know I'm maybe I am a I am
- 2:02:21Speaker 8: a traditional, I am nostalgic. I am like one of
- 2:02:23Speaker 8: those people that go, oh, those are the best, you know,
- 2:02:26Speaker 8: the eighties and nineties so so awesome, and you can't
- 2:02:31Speaker 8: you'll you can't never put the toothpaste back in the
- 2:02:33Speaker 8: two kind of thing. So sometimes I have to kind
- 2:02:35Speaker 8: of check myself with my my nostalgia and my my
- 2:02:40Speaker 8: hanging on to the history of the sports so tightly
- 2:02:43Speaker 8: and go, look, you know it's it's it's more modern,
- 2:02:46Speaker 8: it's different than I remember it. But people today, the
- 2:02:49Speaker 8: fans that are tuning in love it. Yeah, they love it.
- 2:02:52Speaker 8: And so I'm I'm bullish on the sport and think
- 2:02:55Speaker 8: it's uh headed in a really good direction.
- 2:02:58Speaker 3: I feel like more men, more men that not are
- 2:03:00Speaker 3: guilty of that though, like finding the nostalgic piece of
- 2:03:03Speaker 3: it used to be great, and then you go in
- 2:03:04Speaker 3: any genre, any category of anything, and someone's gonna have
- 2:03:07Speaker 3: an opinion about back then it was better because of.
- 2:03:09Speaker 2: X, Y and Z.
- 2:03:10Speaker 3: You brought uh, you bught a couple of times targeting
- 2:03:13Speaker 3: bring it back, bring it back, the old kickoff rule.
- 2:03:16Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 2:03:17Speaker 3: Change that needs to be changed immediately, you know.
- 2:03:20Speaker 2: But anyway, you talked about your your for the first
- 2:03:23Speaker 2: time your team had a car in the Daytona five
- 2:03:25Speaker 2: hundred that.
- 2:03:26Speaker 3: Did the first off. Because there's a round of applause
- 2:03:27Speaker 3: like that and we kind of did just rush over that.
- 2:03:30Speaker 2: Dude.
- 2:03:30Speaker 3: That is so congrats on that, Like what is what
- 2:03:34Speaker 3: is the process of being like, Okay, we feel good
- 2:03:36Speaker 3: enough to put a car in the biggest race of.
- 2:03:39Speaker 2: The year and all next car.
- 2:03:40Speaker 8: So, Traveler Whiskey was a was a brand that Camel
- 2:03:45Speaker 8: came to us. Yeah, and so I got a shout
- 2:03:48Speaker 8: out travel Whiskey, shout out High Rock Vodka.
- 2:03:50Speaker 2: Uh, shout out.
- 2:03:54Speaker 8: Yeah. So I they came to us and they were like, hey,
- 2:03:59Speaker 8: they came to another program at Hendrick Motorsports and then
- 2:04:03Speaker 8: they were like, hey, we kind of want to do
- 2:04:04Speaker 8: the Daytona five hundred. Hendrick's like, hey, we don't have
- 2:04:06Speaker 8: any room. Were full inventory and so but my buddy
- 2:04:11Speaker 8: Rick Hendrick, He's like, I know, my friend Delle Junior
- 2:04:13Speaker 8: wants to enter the Daytona five hundred. It's a dream
- 2:04:15Speaker 8: of mine to enter a car as an owner in
- 2:04:18Speaker 8: that race once just to go. I wanted to go
- 2:04:20Speaker 8: to the track and do all of the things as
- 2:04:24Speaker 8: an owner and push a car out on the grid
- 2:04:26Speaker 8: and go, there's my car, and there it goes into
- 2:04:28Speaker 8: the race. And so they hooked us up with Traveler
- 2:04:31Speaker 8: and we took Traveler to Daytona and it was really emotional.
- 2:04:38Speaker 8: We weren't locked in. So there's cars that have franchises
- 2:04:41Speaker 8: or charters and they are locked into the race. They
- 2:04:45Speaker 8: know going down there hauling their car to the track
- 2:04:47Speaker 8: that they're in. There's a handful of cars in this instance.
- 2:04:51Speaker 8: This year there were eight or nine of us that
- 2:04:52Speaker 8: weren't guaranteed a spot. We were gonna have to earn
- 2:04:55Speaker 8: it by either qualifying really well or running well in
- 2:04:58Speaker 8: what's called the do which is on the duel is
- 2:05:02Speaker 8: two races, and if we do well in the duel,
- 2:05:05Speaker 8: we lock ourselves into the race. So in the duel
- 2:05:08Speaker 8: we're running, we didn't qualify well, so we couldn't lock
- 2:05:11Speaker 8: ourselves in that way. So now we got the duel
- 2:05:13Speaker 8: to run, and we're trying to Okay, we're gonna go
- 2:05:15Speaker 8: out here, and we got to beat a couple of guys.
- 2:05:16Speaker 2: What's your stress level? Doesn't go well, this is a
- 2:05:21Speaker 2: live show.
- 2:05:21Speaker 8: I was embarrassed, so we you in qualifying, all of
- 2:05:26Speaker 8: the industry is on pit road. All the all the
- 2:05:28Speaker 8: engineer's crew, chiefs, everyone that matters, and everyone that knows
- 2:05:32Speaker 8: anything about the sport is standing on pit road. All
- 2:05:34Speaker 8: the cars are lined up going out qualifying, one at
- 2:05:36Speaker 8: a time, and you you're with your car and there
- 2:05:39Speaker 8: you're pushing your car as it's getting closer and closer
- 2:05:42Speaker 8: to the front of the line, and right you know,
- 2:05:44Speaker 8: you get down to the end and you push your
- 2:05:47Speaker 8: car off, cranks. The motor pools away and he's gonna
- 2:05:50Speaker 8: go run his lap, and you stand there and you
- 2:05:51Speaker 8: watch him run his lap, and there's a couple of big,
- 2:05:53Speaker 8: giant jumbo trons and you're watching a little bit on
- 2:05:56Speaker 8: the jumbo Tron and he comes by and you look
- 2:05:58Speaker 8: at the lap and you're like, that ain't fast enough.
- 2:06:01Speaker 8: And now you got to walk through that entire group
- 2:06:04Speaker 8: of people that all know that you didn't make the
- 2:06:07Speaker 8: race yet, right, and it's embarrassing. You know, you got
- 2:06:11Speaker 8: the equipment that you think is good enough and something
- 2:06:14Speaker 8: y'all didn't do right didn't help the car run the
- 2:06:17Speaker 8: lap time, and so it's it's a bit tough kind
- 2:06:20Speaker 8: of walking back through that whole mob of people towards
- 2:06:22Speaker 8: your garage like we failed and so yeah.
- 2:06:25Speaker 2: Like we weren't good enough. Yeah, like everybody looks at
- 2:06:28Speaker 2: us like, yeah.
- 2:06:34Speaker 8: It might be similar to going into the tunnel at
- 2:06:36Speaker 8: an opposing stadium after a loss, right with the fans
- 2:06:39Speaker 8: going get out of your assholes, you.
- 2:06:41Speaker 2: Know yea, Or just like say you're middle school or
- 2:06:44Speaker 2: high school and you're going to see if you made
- 2:06:45Speaker 2: the team or not, and all your boys are standing
- 2:06:47Speaker 2: in there and you're like my name on there, and
- 2:06:49Speaker 2: it's like you should check it out. Maybe I didn't
- 2:06:52Speaker 2: see it. What a feeling? Yes, kind of similar, Yeah,
- 2:06:57Speaker 2: you've had that happen to me.
- 2:07:04Speaker 3: I was like, that's crazy if it's happened.
- 2:07:06Speaker 2: But you know how like before you even go up
- 2:07:08Speaker 2: to look, it's like, man, what if I don't make it,
- 2:07:10Speaker 2: Like I'm gonna feel so stupid. You just kind of
- 2:07:12Speaker 2: have an idea of probably what it feels like.
- 2:07:14Speaker 3: Yeah, it just seems okay, if you weren't good at sports,
- 2:07:18Speaker 3: what would it be like if I sucked at sports?
- 2:07:20Speaker 3: That's probably a bad feeling.
- 2:07:23Speaker 8: So we ended up qualifying in the duel, and we
- 2:07:27Speaker 8: end up racing our way. We're in one of the duels.
- 2:07:34Speaker 2: There's two.
- 2:07:34Speaker 8: They split the field in half, so we're in a duel.
- 2:07:36Speaker 8: There's about twenty some cars in that race. We only
- 2:07:39Speaker 8: have to beat like two guys. There's two guys that
- 2:07:41Speaker 8: we just got to finish ahead of, and we are
- 2:07:43Speaker 8: in the race and they're out, and so coming coming
- 2:07:46Speaker 8: this duel is like fifty laps and we're coming to
- 2:07:49Speaker 8: two laps to go and we're not in. We're behind
- 2:07:52Speaker 8: those guys, and the fields a big blob, all tight together.
- 2:07:57Speaker 8: Within one second, they're just all together to run around
- 2:08:00Speaker 8: the racetrack through two and three wide. And I'm like,
- 2:08:04Speaker 8: Justin's our driver. I'm like, damn it, Justin, you got
- 2:08:06Speaker 8: to figure this out.
- 2:08:07Speaker 2: I don't even know what he's gonna do. I don't
- 2:08:09Speaker 2: know what he could do.
- 2:08:10Speaker 3: He's to yourself, Yeah, clicking in my mind, are you
- 2:08:12Speaker 3: saying this to him?
- 2:08:13Speaker 1: No?
- 2:08:14Speaker 2: I thought you hit the button, no h.
- 2:08:16Speaker 8: And but he just figured he just figured it out.
- 2:08:18Speaker 8: Like in the last lap, he just just figured it out,
- 2:08:21Speaker 8: got the run and and and diced around and and
- 2:08:24Speaker 8: when we crossed the finish line, we're ahead of the
- 2:08:26Speaker 8: guys that we needed to beat. And so that was
- 2:08:29Speaker 8: when it was like almost you know, any that was
- 2:08:32Speaker 8: the moment where if you talked, you were gonna have
- 2:08:35Speaker 8: a hard time not crying. You ever been in those moments, like, yeah,
- 2:08:38Speaker 8: I'm not gonna cry as long as I don't have
- 2:08:39Speaker 8: to talk. You know, once I start talking about this,
- 2:08:42Speaker 8: it's gonna get hard not to cry, right, And so
- 2:08:44Speaker 8: I got We're doing some media and I'm like, I know,
- 2:08:46Speaker 8: I got about ten words before my voice is gonna crack.
- 2:08:50Speaker 8: So I was trying to say something like where in
- 2:08:52Speaker 8: the race, yes, and before I started like losing it.
- 2:08:54Speaker 8: But it's just that emotional and you want, I've lived this,
- 2:08:58Speaker 8: I've lived this sport my whole life. This was a
- 2:09:00Speaker 8: dream of mine and we had finally Really this is
- 2:09:04Speaker 8: like on a Friday, I believe, And so that night
- 2:09:07Speaker 8: we're like, we get the race on Sunday, we don't
- 2:09:09Speaker 8: have to go home. It was either you know, the
- 2:09:12Speaker 8: way that race turned out was like we're loading our
- 2:09:14Speaker 8: ship up and we're going home, uh or we're gonna.
- 2:09:16Speaker 2: Race on Sunday.
- 2:09:17Speaker 8: And so it was a big relief. The next couple
- 2:09:21Speaker 8: of days, man, we're in there looking at our car
- 2:09:23Speaker 8: sitting in the garage and we're massage on it and
- 2:09:25Speaker 8: fixing it and tweaking it and messing with it. I'm
- 2:09:29Speaker 8: on my hands on I'm working and peddling with the car,
- 2:09:31Speaker 8: and we're just we're all proud and getting it right.
- 2:09:35Speaker 8: And and then uh yeah, we pushed it out there
- 2:09:38Speaker 8: for quant for for the race on Sunday, went through
- 2:09:41Speaker 8: the whole pre race ceremony and just the pride of
- 2:09:44Speaker 8: being out there and then getting on the pit box
- 2:09:47Speaker 8: and watching your car pull off pit road and you're like,
- 2:09:49Speaker 8: we're doing it moments here right there. Yeah, it didn't matter.
- 2:09:56Speaker 3: I've always wanted.
- 2:09:57Speaker 8: I told my driver, it sounds like you didn't win. Nice, Yeah,
- 2:10:01Speaker 8: I told.
- 2:10:01Speaker 2: My Yeah, I told.
- 2:10:06Speaker 8: I told my driver Justin. I said, I said, hey,
- 2:10:09Speaker 8: you know, this is the way I am with Justin.
- 2:10:11Speaker 8: I'm like, all right, man, look I don't let's not
- 2:10:14Speaker 8: worry about Let's not worry about like a top ten,
- 2:10:16Speaker 8: top fifteen, that'll be a great day. Let's not even
- 2:10:18Speaker 8: have that conversation. I was like, let's cross the finish
- 2:10:21Speaker 8: line when the checker's waving. I don't care where we're at.
- 2:10:26Speaker 8: I want if we I just want to sit here
- 2:10:27Speaker 8: and watch the race and my car be out there,
- 2:10:30Speaker 8: and we won't have a we won't have it like
- 2:10:32Speaker 8: a high hopes or a or all darn you know.
- 2:10:36Speaker 8: We'll just say, hey, man, if we cross the finish
- 2:10:38Speaker 8: line when the checker flag waves, if our car has
- 2:10:41Speaker 8: finished the race and we ran all the laps, we're blessed.
- 2:10:45Speaker 8: And so it's coming down to the last couple of
- 2:10:47Speaker 8: we're making it through all the problems. We had a
- 2:10:49Speaker 8: couple of dust ups and gotten a few scrapes, but
- 2:10:51Speaker 8: we're car, we're patching it up. It's still pretty good.
- 2:10:54Speaker 8: And it comes down to the last lap and there's
- 2:10:56Speaker 8: a big wreck on the back straight away and he
- 2:10:58Speaker 8: missed the big wreck and we're standing there like, all right,
- 2:11:02Speaker 8: where where he's coming around? Like where are we gonna be?
- 2:11:06Speaker 8: And he crossed the finish line and you look at
- 2:11:08Speaker 8: the score monitor and his name goes book ninth place,
- 2:11:10Speaker 8: and you're like shit, top ten. That's awesome. You know,
- 2:11:15Speaker 8: not only did we come here and like get in
- 2:11:17Speaker 8: the race, but we ran ninth out of all out
- 2:11:21Speaker 8: of the fifty that tried to run it that came here.
- 2:11:25Speaker 8: This we're ninth. Like we're a brand new one race team.
- 2:11:28Speaker 8: We're like one race old. We're like we're like brand new.
- 2:11:31Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 2:11:31Speaker 3: Every time your team has been in the Daytona five hundred,
- 2:11:34Speaker 3: you guys have been top ten.
- 2:11:34Speaker 2: Yeah. How many of the programs can say, what do
- 2:11:38Speaker 2: you think when Dale's giving the little speech of Justin?
- 2:11:40Speaker 2: You think Justin's probably like.
- 2:11:42Speaker 8: Justice sounds like he's Full's an older driver like myself,
- 2:11:48Speaker 8: and but he me and him both get nervous easy
- 2:11:52Speaker 8: like we we and so I can tell like, I
- 2:11:54Speaker 8: need to talk this guy down a little bit.
- 2:11:56Speaker 2: He's nervous.
- 2:11:56Speaker 8: Shit, he was so nervous. And he told me, he
- 2:11:59Speaker 8: told me like and he told me he's like, dude,
- 2:12:02Speaker 8: I was terrified in this moment and this moment, I
- 2:12:05Speaker 8: ain't never been that nervous in my life. And I'm
- 2:12:07Speaker 8: We've raced for championships. We won championships in the Xfinity
- 2:12:09Speaker 8: Series last year, and we've raced together for over a decade.
- 2:12:13Speaker 8: He's drove for our team at junior or sports for
- 2:12:15Speaker 8: a long time, won a lot of races, and he's
- 2:12:17Speaker 8: I'm like, he's like, dude, I was so nervous. There's
- 2:12:19Speaker 8: so much pressure, so much responsibility, being the driver of
- 2:12:22Speaker 8: your car for the dayt on a five runners for
- 2:12:23Speaker 8: the first time. He was like, it was awful, and
- 2:12:26Speaker 8: so I knew that. Like in that moment, I was like, hey, no,
- 2:12:29Speaker 8: let's not even worry about where we're gonna run. Let's
- 2:12:31Speaker 8: not even set a goal or an expectation and worry
- 2:12:34Speaker 8: about being pleased or upset. Let's just say, hey, cross
- 2:12:37Speaker 8: the finish line, check or flagg.
- 2:12:39Speaker 2: Let's feel good about that. And that's it.
- 2:12:42Speaker 8: I don't I don't want anything else. I wanted him
- 2:12:43Speaker 8: to know, like, I don't want anything else. You go
- 2:12:46Speaker 8: out there, you have your own expectations, that's you, But
- 2:12:50Speaker 8: you don't worry about me. Don't feel like everybody here
- 2:12:54Speaker 8: in the pits is going, hey, fucker right, come on,
- 2:12:56Speaker 8: justin when you're you gonna pull the trick?
- 2:12:58Speaker 2: Let oh you know, hey, that's a hell of a speech.
- 2:13:01Speaker 2: That's a speech.
- 2:13:03Speaker 8: I just wanted to let him off the hook.
- 2:13:04Speaker 2: That's a fire speech.
- 2:13:05Speaker 3: Yeah, justin he's been racing you for so long? Has
- 2:13:08Speaker 3: he ever wrote raced the day to.
- 2:13:09Speaker 2: Five hundred before a long time ago? Yeah?
- 2:13:11Speaker 3: Okay, I mean that's gotta be what a feeling man
- 2:13:15Speaker 3: and him, I mean that I bet receiving. I pictured
- 2:13:18Speaker 3: that speech as him and he's already in the car
- 2:13:20Speaker 3: in my head not yet, but no, I'm just telling
- 2:13:22Speaker 3: you where my head. Moments ago, it's like they're about
- 2:13:24Speaker 3: to start the race and before he tails off, you're
- 2:13:26Speaker 3: giving him.
- 2:13:26Speaker 1: This like this.
- 2:13:28Speaker 8: It was literally right before he climbed in, and I
- 2:13:31Speaker 8: was like, just don't worry you just go out there
- 2:13:33Speaker 8: and do you.
- 2:13:33Speaker 2: Man.
- 2:13:34Speaker 8: I'm not I have zero expectation, but I do want
- 2:13:36Speaker 8: you to finish. So don't like, don't get wrecked, don't
- 2:13:39Speaker 8: get wrecked early, don't don't wreck out right.
- 2:13:41Speaker 3: And there was that one, uh last little part of
- 2:13:44Speaker 3: the race where there's a big.
- 2:13:45Speaker 8: Big, big crash and he weaved through.
- 2:13:47Speaker 3: Really other than that, it was pretty smooth.
- 2:13:49Speaker 2: Man.
- 2:13:49Speaker 3: It's a couple of dust ups, couple dust up, close wreck,
- 2:13:51Speaker 3: couple close mentioned dust ups. A couple of times I
- 2:13:53Speaker 3: kind of went pry a little bit more.
- 2:13:55Speaker 8: There was just some wrecks that happened where he had
- 2:13:57Speaker 8: to kind of knife through and and maybe you got
- 2:13:59Speaker 8: dinged up a little bit on the corner of the car,
- 2:14:01Speaker 8: got beat up a little bit, but it was still
- 2:14:03Speaker 8: in relatively good shape when we finished.
- 2:14:06Speaker 3: That's awesome.
- 2:14:07Speaker 8: We'll take it. That paid good bet.
- 2:14:10Speaker 3: Yes, is this whisky company sticking on?
- 2:14:14Speaker 1: Well?
- 2:14:14Speaker 8: We we only had plans to run that one race.
- 2:14:16Speaker 2: That was it.
- 2:14:18Speaker 8: They're excited and happy with everything that happened. We'll see
- 2:14:20Speaker 8: what happens. It's a dicey thing, so there's some we
- 2:14:24Speaker 8: had a little damage to fix, but we did. We
- 2:14:27Speaker 8: fixed it. It's a it's a little bit of a
- 2:14:31Speaker 8: dicey thing. Because me and my wife started the High
- 2:14:33Speaker 8: Rock Vodka right and that's our we have equity in it,
- 2:14:35Speaker 8: and we're and Traveler came on to Travers like, hey,
- 2:14:39Speaker 8: we want to help you realize this dream. So I
- 2:14:41Speaker 8: had to call my friends at High Rock Vodka and say, hey, y'all,
- 2:14:45Speaker 8: mind if I do this thing with this whiskey. And
- 2:14:47Speaker 8: they're like, well, it's not really a vodka, so it's
- 2:14:49Speaker 8: not competing directly. And they're like, we don't want to
- 2:14:52Speaker 8: get in your way. We don't want to get in
- 2:14:54Speaker 8: the way of you realizing this dream, this is really
- 2:14:56Speaker 8: how this is only gonna it's only going to happen
- 2:14:58Speaker 8: because you know, the the traveler came in with the
- 2:15:01Speaker 8: with the check that it was gonna take. It's gonna
- 2:15:03Speaker 8: take a lot of money to go to Daytona, and
- 2:15:05Speaker 8: so they high rock folks were good, Yeah, to let
- 2:15:08Speaker 8: me do that.
- 2:15:09Speaker 2: We can blame it if you want. But how much
- 2:15:11Speaker 2: does it cost to get into the dayta to.
- 2:15:13Speaker 8: Race in the Daytona five hundred? You're gonna need three
- 2:15:16Speaker 8: quarters of a million dollars?
- 2:15:17Speaker 3: Okay, all right? Three quarters of a million dollars?
- 2:15:22Speaker 2: All right minimum? You got that math? Yep? We want
- 2:15:26Speaker 2: to say it out loud. Yeah, yeah, we can just
- 2:15:29Speaker 2: leave it, you know by guns, Yeah, no doubt. Having
- 2:15:36Speaker 2: the Earnhart last name, you're obviously involved with a lot
- 2:15:39Speaker 2: of different things off the track, on the track, everything
- 2:15:42Speaker 2: in between. What is the first thing you kind of
- 2:15:45Speaker 2: dove into to where it felt like this is mine
- 2:15:49Speaker 2: outside of having carrying them because you carry the legacy
- 2:15:51Speaker 2: of your old man and you have the earn Hard name,
- 2:15:53Speaker 2: you're Daleer and Hard Junior or the sun. What was
- 2:15:56Speaker 2: the first time you realize and felt like it since
- 2:15:57Speaker 2: of pride. All Right, this is a thing that I
- 2:15:59Speaker 2: see as like something I've done.
- 2:16:02Speaker 8: Probably Junior Motorsports, the race team that we have, we've
- 2:16:05Speaker 8: ran in the Infinity Series, which is again that's the
- 2:16:08Speaker 8: kind of the college level. We've ran there for seems
- 2:16:14Speaker 8: like eighteen years, a long time.
- 2:16:16Speaker 2: We've won ninety.
- 2:16:18Speaker 8: Races, five championships. Me and my sister run that together.
- 2:16:24Speaker 8: And she's hands on. My sister is uh, she is
- 2:16:29Speaker 8: a she's tough, really really tough business woman, savvy and
- 2:16:36Speaker 8: and so like in negotiations, she never loses. That's that's her.
- 2:16:41Speaker 8: And so she's tough. She knows what the value is. Yeah,
- 2:16:44Speaker 8: she knows the value of everything and understands what what's
- 2:16:47Speaker 8: realistic and just sharp. And so I'm very fortunate that
- 2:16:50Speaker 8: that I that I got her as a teammate, and
- 2:16:52Speaker 8: so we have ran Junior Rotter Sports together. Our dream
- 2:16:58Speaker 8: or our idea, the idea was that me and her
- 2:17:01Speaker 8: would be involved at the I, which was my dad's
- 2:17:03Speaker 8: race team, Dell and Harten Corporated. Our thought was that
- 2:17:07Speaker 8: that would be what we would do all of our lives, right,
- 2:17:10Speaker 8: and so a lot of things happened. Dad passed away
- 2:17:13Speaker 8: and we ended up leaving the team over the course
- 2:17:16Speaker 8: of six or seven years, and so that didn't happen,
- 2:17:19Speaker 8: and we started this other team and started it with
- 2:17:22Speaker 8: one race car, four three or four employees, very modest,
- 2:17:27Speaker 8: and we've grown it into a really successful deal. We
- 2:17:31Speaker 8: love being at that level where we graduate people up
- 2:17:35Speaker 8: into the top series. Right, So drivers come through our program,
- 2:17:39Speaker 8: crew chiefs, mechanics, engineers, even people in our office marketing, licensing.
- 2:17:44Speaker 8: They all come and work at our business, get educated,
- 2:17:46Speaker 8: get a great experience, get a reputation, and then they
- 2:17:51Speaker 8: get a call from a cut team. It sucks to
- 2:17:53Speaker 8: lose great people, but it's also like a big reward,
- 2:17:56Speaker 8: like we're doing it right. We're doing something right where
- 2:17:58Speaker 8: people are wanting to hire our good people. And so
- 2:18:01Speaker 8: when a driver gets a phone call, they'll call me.
- 2:18:03Speaker 8: I remember one guy called me and he's like, I
- 2:18:06Speaker 8: got some tough news. He's like, one of the Cup
- 2:18:08Speaker 8: teams called me and I got to do it. I
- 2:18:09Speaker 8: was like, that's not tough news. That's what we That's
- 2:18:12Speaker 8: like winning a race. That's that's a victory for you.
- 2:18:15Speaker 8: For me, that's why we did this. I did this
- 2:18:17Speaker 8: so that you would get this chance, not that you're
- 2:18:19Speaker 8: going to be a career Infinity race racer for me
- 2:18:22Speaker 8: right hopefully if everything works out. Most of our drivers
- 2:18:25Speaker 8: are only there for a year or two and they
- 2:18:27Speaker 8: move on to the Cup level and race on Sunday,
- 2:18:31Speaker 8: and so that's that's a fun thing to do. I
- 2:18:33Speaker 8: can look in the Cup field today, the field that
- 2:18:36Speaker 8: runs on Sunday, I can look in that field and
- 2:18:40Speaker 8: there's at least a third of the field that raced
- 2:18:42Speaker 8: for me on Saturday at some point in their career.
- 2:18:45Speaker 8: There's mechanics, crew chiefs, tons of people in the industry
- 2:18:49Speaker 8: that have came through our race ting to get to
- 2:18:51Speaker 8: the top level.
- 2:18:53Speaker 2: That's fun.
- 2:18:55Speaker 8: So I'm proud of that. That's mine.
- 2:18:58Speaker 2: So do you ever want to get your race team
- 2:19:00Speaker 2: into the Cup Show?
- 2:19:02Speaker 8: And so to race full time in the Cup Series,
- 2:19:04Speaker 8: you need a charter, which is basically a franchise. Look
- 2:19:08Speaker 8: think about it as like a franchise. You there are
- 2:19:10Speaker 8: only three dozen of those NASCAR has. There's a rule
- 2:19:16Speaker 8: between there's an agreement between the teams and the NASCAR
- 2:19:18Speaker 8: that there is only a certain amount of charter. So
- 2:19:20Speaker 8: to acquire one, you got to buy one from somebody
- 2:19:23Speaker 8: and they're selling for anywhere from twenty five million to
- 2:19:25Speaker 8: forty million bucks.
- 2:19:26Speaker 2: And so you got to.
- 2:19:27Speaker 8: Buy the charter and then you got to buy the cars.
- 2:19:29Speaker 8: They're three hundred and fifty thousand dollars apiece. You got
- 2:19:32Speaker 8: to have an engine program, you gotta you know, you
- 2:19:34Speaker 8: gotta upscale employees. So to race full time in the
- 2:19:40Speaker 8: Cup Series, you might be able to do it on
- 2:19:42Speaker 8: twenty million dollars a year. So it's one hundred million
- 2:19:45Speaker 8: dollars to probably get started to buy a charter or
- 2:19:48Speaker 8: two and then have the funding annually to run at
- 2:19:52Speaker 8: that level. You got to have a massive commitment from
- 2:19:54Speaker 8: corporate America somewhere to be able to fund the team
- 2:19:59Speaker 8: annually and long term. And so our yeah, to go
- 2:20:03Speaker 8: from where we are now and our business model is
- 2:20:06Speaker 8: a massive jump and a huge commitment. Scary sounds like, Yeah,
- 2:20:10Speaker 8: I mean a hundred million dollars to get started as wild. Yeah,
- 2:20:13Speaker 8: you've been close, is anybody like? We've had some really
- 2:20:16Speaker 8: fun We've had some really cool conversations with some mass
- 2:20:20Speaker 8: We've had a we had a conversation with a mat
- 2:20:22Speaker 8: with a with a with one of the largest or
- 2:20:25Speaker 8: most popular sports franchises in the in the in the country.
- 2:20:30Speaker 8: So I mean there's interest out so the interest that
- 2:20:33Speaker 8: I believe a team like mine or a person like
- 2:20:39Speaker 8: me to be able to get into theirs, it's gonna
- 2:20:41Speaker 8: have to be it's gonna have to be like an
- 2:20:45Speaker 8: investment firm or a current like a current entity that's
- 2:20:52Speaker 8: owning sports teams, right and so.
- 2:20:57Speaker 2: Yeah, a couple yeah, like I see a couple of
- 2:21:00Speaker 2: miles right now.
- 2:21:01Speaker 8: Yeah, And so there's been there's interest. There's in the
- 2:21:05Speaker 8: the investment firm thing. It's kind of new, but it's
- 2:21:09Speaker 8: getting it's gaining in some popularity. There's been a lot
- 2:21:11Speaker 8: of there's been a lot of these sort of groups
- 2:21:14Speaker 8: that have started to invest in in race teams. So
- 2:21:17Speaker 8: like certain race teams have taken on investors and sold
- 2:21:19Speaker 8: equity in the ownership of the program. Uh So that's
- 2:21:23Speaker 8: kind of promising for somebody like me that's like, hey,
- 2:21:25Speaker 8: I've got the I know how to run a race team, Kelly,
- 2:21:28Speaker 8: and I know how to operate this thing and be successful.
- 2:21:30Speaker 8: We know how to do it and not lose money,
- 2:21:33Speaker 8: and we how to be successful. We have a lot
- 2:21:36Speaker 8: of equity in our in our name and our reputation,
- 2:21:39Speaker 8: and so we're I think I feel like we're very
- 2:21:41Speaker 8: appealing for anybody that's like, hey, I'm brand new to this.
- 2:21:45Speaker 8: I don't know anything about racing, but I think owing
- 2:21:47Speaker 8: a charter is going to be very valuable. So the
- 2:21:50Speaker 8: charters have doubled in value annually, So like if you
- 2:21:54Speaker 8: bought a charter six years ago, you might spend six
- 2:21:58Speaker 8: to twelve million dollars. Now they're worth forty million dollars,
- 2:22:01Speaker 8: thirty five, thirty million dollars. I believe charters in ten
- 2:22:04Speaker 8: years will sell for eighty to one hundred million dollars apiece.
- 2:22:09Speaker 8: So I mean, I think if I was a person
- 2:22:12Speaker 8: that had that kind of money to throw around buying
- 2:22:14Speaker 8: a charter or investing just in a charter, guy, getting
- 2:22:16Speaker 8: some equity in a charter would be easy, an easy, yes, right,
- 2:22:20Speaker 8: because that is not gonna lose value. It's think about
- 2:22:25Speaker 8: Dan Snyder bought the Washington Commanders in whenever whatever year,
- 2:22:30Speaker 8: not eighty nine or whatever for six hundred and eight
- 2:22:33Speaker 8: hundred million dollars and sold it for six billion. And
- 2:22:35Speaker 8: so NASCAR charters are similar as they are a franchise,
- 2:22:40Speaker 8: a sports franchise, and now they won't ever get into
- 2:22:43Speaker 8: the billions or maybe not even into the you know,
- 2:22:46Speaker 8: you know, five hundred to seven hundred million dollar range,
- 2:22:49Speaker 8: but they will increase in value from from thirty to
- 2:22:52Speaker 8: forty million dollars now. I think realistically it's one hundred
- 2:22:56Speaker 8: and fifty one hundred and fifty million dollar value. I
- 2:22:58Speaker 8: would put that on I would I would say, I
- 2:23:00Speaker 8: would confidently expect that to be the value of one
- 2:23:02Speaker 8: in ten years. And so why wouldn't you if you
- 2:23:05Speaker 8: had that kind of money invest in it now because
- 2:23:08Speaker 8: it's like.
- 2:23:08Speaker 2: You need some some busting with the boys backing open
- 2:23:13Speaker 2: high interest rates. Yeah, this is our team we're talking about.
- 2:23:21Speaker 8: Serious.
- 2:23:22Speaker 2: That's awesome, man. Congratulations.
- 2:23:24Speaker 8: Yeah, it ain't happened yet.
- 2:23:26Speaker 2: Yeah, it hadn't happened yet.
- 2:23:27Speaker 3: Yeah, truly, congratulations on it happening in the very near future.
- 2:23:30Speaker 2: That'd be nice.
- 2:23:31Speaker 7: No.
- 2:23:31Speaker 2: One just very surface level stuff about those conversations. I know,
- 2:23:35Speaker 2: it seems like it's very hard to just even be
- 2:23:36Speaker 2: in those rooms and have those conversations.
- 2:23:39Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, I've we've had some fun conversations with
- 2:23:41Speaker 8: some people that were interested in but it's got to
- 2:23:45Speaker 8: be perfect.
- 2:23:45Speaker 7: You can't.
- 2:23:46Speaker 8: I'm not a risk taker with my finances. Yeah, and
- 2:23:50Speaker 8: so like when I had kids, I was like, all right,
- 2:23:52Speaker 8: I gotta be a little smarter. Like I was going
- 2:23:54Speaker 8: to bounce my last check. That was the way I
- 2:23:56Speaker 8: was going to live, right when I was a single
- 2:23:58Speaker 8: dude just raising hell and in my life, I was
- 2:24:01Speaker 8: like I don't want to hit leaving ship behind. But
- 2:24:04Speaker 8: then when I had kids, I was like, now it
- 2:24:05Speaker 8: ain't mine no more. Yea, all theirs right right now,
- 2:24:08Speaker 8: and now I'm spending their money.
- 2:24:09Speaker 2: They're a massive curve ball for them sitting there getting wheel.
- 2:24:13Speaker 2: By the way, your guys' facility is so badass. It
- 2:24:19Speaker 2: is like going out there, there's people, like, there's people

- 2:25:02Speaker 2: We appreciate that deal. I don't know.
- 2:25:04Speaker 3: I mean, there's been a couple of people not up
- 2:25:07Speaker 3: there anymore. We had a Tannehill signed like somebody broke
- 2:25:09Speaker 3: in on one of our old places we were at,
- 2:25:12Speaker 3: broke in and didn't steal anything, but left a guests.

- 2:25:20Speaker 2: There's another cat. He'd be going to work and he'd
- 2:25:22Speaker 2: notice that when the doors slid up, he'd see the

- 2:28:31Speaker 2: been a car you sold that you regret selling? Hell?
- 2:28:35Speaker 8: No, I regret buying cars. Uh that's like crazy. You know,
- 2:28:40Speaker 8: everything with wheels as soon as you buy it it,
- 2:28:42Speaker 8: it appreciates like half as soon as you drive it
- 2:28:44Speaker 8: off the lot.
- 2:28:45Speaker 2: But I shouldn't say that being in the car business.
- 2:28:48Speaker 8: But oh man, I bought a Calway Corvette that was
- 2:28:52Speaker 8: kind of a thing back in the day, Calway corvettes.
- 2:28:55Speaker 2: I bought one of those, and I, oh so it
- 2:28:57Speaker 2: was the dumbest thing.
- 2:29:00Speaker 8: It for a while and finally sold it for like
- 2:29:02Speaker 8: a fraction of what I paid for it. But uh,
- 2:29:06Speaker 8: my buddy had a motorcycle and dropped his motorcycle in
- 2:29:08Speaker 8: the nose of this cowboy Callaway corvette and the foot
- 2:29:12Speaker 8: peg went straight through the nose and he, luckily he
- 2:29:14Speaker 8: owned the body shop, fixed it up for me.
- 2:29:16Speaker 2: But just a bad experience. But no, I mean.
- 2:29:22Speaker 8: I had a a Biscayne that I maybe should have
- 2:29:27Speaker 8: hung onto. Uh kind of a kind of a rare car.
- 2:29:30Speaker 8: That's my Calaway that the bike fell on. That's it.
- 2:29:34Speaker 2: Yes, I was stupid to buy that.
- 2:29:37Speaker 8: I did not need it. And it had this like
- 2:29:42Speaker 8: it had this little weird noise in the in the
- 2:29:44Speaker 8: rear one of the wheels of break calip or something
- 2:29:46Speaker 8: like a tick that wouldn't go away that I wouldn't
- 2:29:50Speaker 8: smart enough to really fuck with.
- 2:29:51Speaker 3: But like.
- 2:29:55Speaker 8: Green Truck. This is my daily driver, that Green truck
- 2:29:59Speaker 8: right there, and it's forty eight and I did a
- 2:30:02Speaker 8: lot of own I did a lot of my own
- 2:30:03Speaker 8: work on this truck. And so it has a it
- 2:30:07Speaker 8: has a modern Vortec engine in it. It's nothing crazier special,
- 2:30:11Speaker 8: but like I put them rails and wood rails on
- 2:30:14Speaker 8: the back. But in the inside of this truck, I
- 2:30:16Speaker 8: think it was kind of during COVID, I decided to
- 2:30:18Speaker 8: cut the inside and redo it. Myself and I put
- 2:30:22Speaker 8: some pictures on the Internet and stuff of me working
- 2:30:24Speaker 8: on it. But I did a lot of woodwork inside
- 2:30:26Speaker 8: and putting new inserts on the seats, and my two
- 2:30:30Speaker 8: year old grabbed a sharpie and ruined the brand new inserts,
- 2:30:32Speaker 8: so I had to take the seat back out and
- 2:30:34Speaker 8: redo it.
- 2:30:35Speaker 2: But I did.
- 2:30:36Speaker 8: The console in the floorboard is I made it out
- 2:30:41Speaker 8: of sheet metal from one of my bud cars, So
- 2:30:43Speaker 8: it's like at bud Wiser, like a half of the
- 2:30:46Speaker 8: bud Wiser logo in the floorboard of the console.
- 2:30:50Speaker 2: Awesome.
- 2:30:50Speaker 8: It's just really kind of a grunge truck, you know
- 2:30:53Speaker 8: what we call a gruns truck.
- 2:30:54Speaker 2: But is that the best daily driver?
- 2:30:58Speaker 6: Yeah?
- 2:30:58Speaker 8: That's the best gane.
- 2:31:00Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 2:31:00Speaker 8: I kind of wish i'd kept the this game.
- 2:31:02Speaker 2: There you go.
- 2:31:03Speaker 8: It kind of cool car that was like twenty years ago.
- 2:31:06Speaker 2: I sold that.
- 2:31:08Speaker 8: But I don't know, man, I I always was weird
- 2:31:11Speaker 8: with my I was I was.
- 2:31:13Speaker 2: I did some foolish stuff with money.
- 2:31:14Speaker 8: No, I'm not gonna lie, but I also was kind
- 2:31:18Speaker 8: of oddly tight and I my the buddies, my buddies
- 2:31:23Speaker 8: that I raced with back in the day always joked
- 2:31:26Speaker 8: with me about being a tight ass, and so like,
- 2:31:29Speaker 8: I if I I got like twelve cars, right, I'm
- 2:31:33Speaker 8: a guy, I'm a car guy, so I'm gonna have
- 2:31:34Speaker 8: a little collection, right, and I'm okay, that's okay. But
- 2:31:37Speaker 8: I got twelve cars. And if I see something that
- 2:31:40Speaker 8: I liked, and I still do this today, like, if
- 2:31:42Speaker 8: I see something, I gotta be willing to sell one
- 2:31:45Speaker 8: of my twelve and buy it, like I won't buy
- 2:31:47Speaker 8: it and add to it, I'll be like, do I
- 2:31:50Speaker 8: want it bad enough that I'll sell one of these?
- 2:31:52Speaker 8: And if I will, I'll sell one of these? All right,
- 2:31:55Speaker 8: man from the rock.
- 2:31:56Speaker 2: We had fun.
- 2:31:56Speaker 8: That was good.
- 2:31:57Speaker 2: All Right, you're out some car owners out there. I
- 2:32:00Speaker 2: don't want to give you a try.
- 2:32:01Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, there's I got an umbrella and everything's got
- 2:32:04Speaker 8: to fit under it. And if it don't, you know,
- 2:32:06Speaker 8: I'm not. I don't want to be. I don't know
- 2:32:09Speaker 8: I shouldn't. I'm probably overthinking it, but I was just
- 2:32:12Speaker 8: didn't want to be ridiculous and have like cars everywhere
- 2:32:15Speaker 8: because it wire. It bugs me to have a car
- 2:32:20Speaker 8: that I don't drive and that one time I get
- 2:32:23Speaker 8: in it, it batters dead fucking tire shape because they're
- 2:32:27Speaker 8: square because it's been sitting too long or their break
- 2:32:30Speaker 8: shake or something. It doesn't drive well. Right, I'm like,
- 2:32:33Speaker 8: all right, I don't have that. I love this car,
- 2:32:36Speaker 8: but I'm not driving it. It's not it's not doing
- 2:32:38Speaker 8: itself any good. I'm selling the something getting rid of it.
- 2:32:42Speaker 2: What's been your biggest impulsive buy? Impulsive? Where you've spoiged too?
- 2:32:48Speaker 2: We're like, that was it? That was? That was dumb?
- 2:32:51Speaker 8: Oh man, I mean the Callaway Corvette was stupid. That
- 2:32:54Speaker 8: was another one that was That was over one hundred grand.
- 2:32:58Speaker 2: That's dumb.
- 2:33:00Speaker 8: A green truck that other green that's not square body.
- 2:33:03Speaker 8: I want to brag on that sun bitch.
- 2:33:04Speaker 2: Look at that thing.
- 2:33:07Speaker 8: Look at that them plaid fucking insert on that seat.
- 2:33:10Speaker 8: That ship's badass.
- 2:33:12Speaker 2: I love that square body trucks.
- 2:33:13Speaker 7: You can't.
- 2:33:14Speaker 2: They're coming back, coming back in a big way.
- 2:33:16Speaker 8: Oh they're back.
- 2:33:18Speaker 2: They hell.
- 2:33:18Speaker 3: You gotta send me the newspapers because I haven't seen that.
- 2:33:20Speaker 2: Well.
- 2:33:21Speaker 8: If I take this bad boy out, it turns some heads.
- 2:33:28Speaker 2: Just driving to see watching everybody.
- 2:33:30Speaker 3: Yeah, it's always a construction workers too, on the side
- 2:33:33Speaker 3: the road do.
- 2:33:34Speaker 2: This, and.
- 2:33:36Speaker 8: I don't know that I have like a I don't
- 2:33:38Speaker 8: know that I have a bad regret on on like
- 2:33:42Speaker 8: a big, big time financial thing. But this is one
- 2:33:45Speaker 8: thing my wife and I talk about is she'll be like, hey,
- 2:33:49Speaker 8: our couch is destroyed. Like we've we've you know, kids
- 2:33:52Speaker 8: and dogs and all the couches just fucked up. It's

- 2:35:33Speaker 3: That sounds like every guy ever you're telling me the story.

- 2:35:40Speaker 3: yeah all the time about things where I'm like.
- 2:35:42Speaker 2: Dude, Charles brings up a couch.
- 2:35:43Speaker 3: I'm just thinking, I feel like this couch here, I
- 2:35:46Speaker 3: feel like such an asshole.
- 2:35:48Speaker 8: And we might have talked about this on the show,
- 2:35:50Speaker 8: but man, when I when we were going, when we
- 2:35:52Speaker 8: were booking, uh, we did a planner for our honeymoon
- 2:35:56Speaker 8: and we went to Hawaii and when that lady came men,
- 2:36:00Speaker 8: you know the planner plans this trip. Right, we're gonna
- 2:36:03Speaker 8: stay and we're gonna be in Hawaii two weeks and
- 2:36:05Speaker 8: we're gonna be at this place, this hotel and this hotel.
- 2:36:09Speaker 8: When that lady came back with the quote, uh, I
- 2:36:12Speaker 8: was like, ain't no way. I was like, what room
- 2:36:16Speaker 8: are we talking about here? I gotta see, God, they
- 2:36:18Speaker 8: gotta be other rooms. And I'm going to I go
- 2:36:20Speaker 8: to Amy and I'm like, why can't we do why
- 2:36:22Speaker 8: can't we do these rooms? These rooms wayless? Wait, we
- 2:36:25Speaker 8: will be in the room. We're just gonna sleep in
- 2:36:27Speaker 8: the room. She's like, come on, this is your honeymoon.
- 2:36:30Speaker 8: Are you doing this?
- 2:36:31Speaker 2: Once literally preaching right now.
- 2:36:33Speaker 8: It was awful. And I look back on it now
- 2:36:35Speaker 8: and like it really didn't matter. But man, I was
- 2:36:38Speaker 8: turning my guts looking at that price in those rooms
- 2:36:41Speaker 8: and I'm like, I'm like, we don't need this. We
- 2:36:44Speaker 8: can stay in this room there's and it's nice. I
- 2:36:47Speaker 8: don't know I was.
- 2:36:49Speaker 2: That was tough.
- 2:36:49Speaker 3: I always hit it with budget stuff.
- 2:36:51Speaker 2: Man.
- 2:36:51Speaker 3: When we I built my house, I like had a
- 2:36:53Speaker 3: budget and I was like this is I god a
- 2:36:55Speaker 3: p too, but yeah, we have a budget that's like, hey,
- 2:36:59Speaker 3: this is going to be this is how much money
- 2:37:01Speaker 3: we're going to spend to build this house. So I
- 2:37:02Speaker 3: would go to the people and be like, hey, when
- 2:37:04Speaker 3: we're looking at fixtures, show me what's in the budget,
- 2:37:09Speaker 3: low end, high end, but it has to stay in
- 2:37:11Speaker 3: the budget. And every meeting I would go to, whether
- 2:37:13Speaker 3: it was like I don't know, plaster on the walls
- 2:37:16Speaker 3: or something like that, they would show me two things
- 2:37:18Speaker 3: or three things. But then they have one in the
- 2:37:20Speaker 3: corner over here that wasn't on display, but it was
- 2:37:23Speaker 3: right there, and either me or my wife, probably more
- 2:37:25Speaker 3: time than not, me would be like, well, what's well,
- 2:37:27Speaker 3: what's that one?
- 2:37:28Speaker 2: What is that right?
- 2:37:28Speaker 3: They're like, well, you don't want to know about that.
- 2:37:30Speaker 3: One's actually outside the budget. And then there's always this
- 2:37:33Speaker 3: game that you play. It's like, okay, well if we
- 2:37:35Speaker 3: do that, then we can move a little something over here.
- 2:37:37Speaker 3: It's just how like the male mind compartmentalizes how to
- 2:37:40Speaker 3: spend money. At the end of the day, you're doing
- 2:37:42Speaker 3: it the same way.
- 2:37:43Speaker 2: But it's just fighting a way. We have to justify God.
- 2:37:46Speaker 2: To justify it is us. It's a pain in the ass.
- 2:37:50Speaker 8: I remember when so we have we have a banquet
- 2:37:53Speaker 8: for our championship at the end of the year. This
- 2:37:55Speaker 8: is back when me and Amy we were just gotten
- 2:37:58Speaker 8: pretty serious. And Uh, I'm like, all right, man, we're
- 2:38:03Speaker 8: getting ready to go to the banquet. I'm getting whipped
- 2:38:05Speaker 8: out my tucks. I'm aware to I wear the same
- 2:38:07Speaker 8: freak if it'll fit. I wear the same damn tucks.
- 2:38:09Speaker 2: For twelve years.
- 2:38:10Speaker 8: I don't give a ship.
- 2:38:11Speaker 2: I don't need new tucks. I'm wearing this thing once
- 2:38:13Speaker 2: a year ago.
- 2:38:14Speaker 8: And so but she's like, I'm gonna get a gown,
- 2:38:17Speaker 8: and uh, I'm like, yeah, we're gonna get you a gown.
- 2:38:19Speaker 8: We're gonna get a gown. I ain't never bought a gown.
- 2:38:22Speaker 8: You know, I don't know gown prices. Yeah, and she
- 2:38:24Speaker 8: comes with this gown price and I was like, what
- 2:38:27Speaker 8: the hell, what the hell? I mean, it was crazy.
- 2:38:31Speaker 8: I would have never even came close if I had
- 2:38:32Speaker 8: to guess. And uh, man, I'm on the phone with
- 2:38:35Speaker 8: my sister. I'm like, you believe this and she's like,
- 2:38:38Speaker 8: she's like, that's what gowns cost. I'm like for real,
- 2:38:41Speaker 8: She's like yes.
- 2:38:42Speaker 1: I was like all right.
- 2:38:44Speaker 3: I was like, damn, man, that makes me feel better
- 2:38:46Speaker 3: when you know what it costs. When when you first
- 2:38:49Speaker 3: see the price, like what the hell are we doing?
- 2:38:50Speaker 8: And then she gets the gown. We go, she looks amazing,
- 2:38:53Speaker 8: and I mean again, like this was years ago. I
- 2:38:57Speaker 8: feel I know I was, I know I was, but
- 2:39:01Speaker 8: she looked amazing. And we get back and I'm like
- 2:39:06Speaker 8: it can't it dawned on me.
- 2:39:07Speaker 1: I was like so uh.
- 2:39:10Speaker 8: She's like, I'm gonna put this away and I was like,
- 2:39:13Speaker 8: you don't wear it again.
- 2:39:14Speaker 2: She goes, no, never wear it again.
- 2:39:16Speaker 8: I was like, you don't. You don't sell it, because
- 2:39:19Speaker 8: she would sell some stuff from time to time. She
- 2:39:22Speaker 8: had a little I was like, you don't sell it down.
- 2:39:25Speaker 8: I can't sell it She's like, hell no, I me's
- 2:39:26Speaker 8: selling this gown. I'm like, man, I don't understand this
- 2:39:29Speaker 8: at all. Like you you know, you spent all this money,
- 2:39:31Speaker 8: You'll wear it once and then you're gonna put it
- 2:39:33Speaker 8: away and keep it and waiting dress gowns, gowns, ball
- 2:39:37Speaker 8: gowns and stuff like that. I was blown away the
- 2:39:39Speaker 8: first time I paid for a gown. It was another
- 2:39:43Speaker 8: big giant wake up. It was like the couch story
- 2:39:45Speaker 8: where I was. I called, I called back up. I
- 2:39:47Speaker 8: was like, hey, I called my sister.
- 2:39:49Speaker 2: I was like, this gown.
- 2:39:50Speaker 8: She's like, yeah, that's that's reasonable. I was like, horseship,
- 2:39:53Speaker 8: there's no way.
- 2:39:55Speaker 3: You brought the tux about having uh, just like one
- 2:39:58Speaker 3: one tux your whole life. And when when I was playing,
- 2:40:01Speaker 3: I was three hundred and sixteen pounds. Like we'd always,
- 2:40:04Speaker 3: you know, every Sunday, guys want to get the fits
- 2:40:05Speaker 3: going and stuff like that. So every couple of years
- 2:40:08Speaker 3: I would go get a couple of suits. But I
- 2:40:09Speaker 3: would always go to my suit guys and be like, hey,
- 2:40:11Speaker 3: when I obviously we're like eventually i'ma have to retire
- 2:40:13Speaker 3: and lose weight, like I'll be able to bring it
- 2:40:16Speaker 3: all in where I can still wear these and like, oh.
- 2:40:17Speaker 2: Yeah, no problem.
- 2:40:19Speaker 3: And now I'm like sixty pounds less than I was before.
- 2:40:22Speaker 3: And I brought these suits to people and they're like,
- 2:40:24Speaker 3: there's no way you can't. So I've spent an absurd
- 2:40:28Speaker 3: amount of money on clothes that just sit in my closet.
- 2:40:30Speaker 3: I look at him, like I could never wear this again.
- 2:40:32Speaker 3: I had a bunch of my buddies that were still playing.
- 2:40:34Speaker 3: I was like, hey, come over the house. I said,
- 2:40:36Speaker 3: like this probably closet. Besides like this suit and that
- 2:40:38Speaker 3: suit that the suit I got married in. And then
- 2:40:40Speaker 3: I have like a customer and has like my daughter's
- 2:40:41Speaker 3: names on it. They're like, uh, the dazzled or whatever.
- 2:40:45Speaker 3: I was like, yeah, that suit too. I was like,
- 2:40:48Speaker 3: you guys, take whatever you want. And they just ransacked
- 2:40:50Speaker 3: the whole thing. It was like Ruse and Raidings came
- 2:40:53Speaker 3: over and did all that. But some of the money
- 2:40:55Speaker 3: you spend, yeah, just on dumb shit. Like I look back,
- 2:40:58Speaker 3: I'm just like, what was I buying suit's for?
- 2:41:00Speaker 2: Who cares for?
- 2:41:01Speaker 1: What?
- 2:41:02Speaker 3: A photo.
- 2:41:05Speaker 2: Is? Exactly what it's for because you don't even I
- 2:41:07Speaker 2: don't know how you were, but I never even fully
- 2:41:09Speaker 2: put the suit back on, like even on game day.
- 2:41:12Speaker 3: No on, once you get the photo to get on
- 2:41:16Speaker 3: the plane. Yeah, would you like loosen the tietdet. No
- 2:41:23Speaker 3: one talks about suits like you see like these people
- 2:41:25Speaker 3: like you go on pinchers and I want to get
- 2:41:27Speaker 3: a nice little suits. You start looking like ideas and
- 2:41:29Speaker 3: you see all these like suave gentlemen with like the
- 2:41:31Speaker 3: suits perfectly laid out when I put that ship. When
- 2:41:34Speaker 3: I put that ship on, it's like it looks good
- 2:41:36Speaker 3: for forty five seconds and then it starts like wrinkling
- 2:41:40Speaker 3: up at the top or I get a little a
- 2:41:41Speaker 3: little sweaty, so I move it.
- 2:41:43Speaker 2: It's never tucked in long enough. It's just a pain
- 2:41:45Speaker 2: the ass.
- 2:41:45Speaker 8: My biggest problem with pants or suits is the calves.
- 2:41:49Speaker 2: Like I can't it can't.
- 2:41:50Speaker 8: My calves are I don't know. I have problems with
- 2:41:56Speaker 8: the pant being too tight. Yeah, bro of opposite issues
- 2:42:00Speaker 8: and so when I.

- 2:42:39Speaker 8: mean as white as white as I am. You gotta
- 2:42:41Speaker 8: be careful on the color of short you wear because
- 2:42:43Speaker 8: it can make the whiteness even whiter. So you got
- 2:42:45Speaker 8: to be like a very tan kind of off white.
- 2:42:47Speaker 3: But you know Dale when he takes the shirt off,
- 2:42:50Speaker 3: like his face and his face and like from the

- 2:43:35Speaker 2: spare tire around the right above the belt. True Classic.
- 2:43:39Speaker 2: It grabs you perfectly in your chest, grabs you perfectly
- 2:43:41Speaker 2: in your arms to where it gives you a little
- 2:43:43Speaker 2: leeway down by the low tire, so it gives you
- 2:43:46Speaker 2: a perception of, oh, this guy's body compass went down.
- 2:43:49Speaker 2: That is what I love about True Classic. Their jeans

- 2:44:16Speaker 3: If you want to keep it true and you want
- 2:44:18Speaker 3: to keep it classic, the best thing to put on
- 2:44:20Speaker 3: your body, no branding, keep it simple, keep it simple,

- 2:49:01Speaker 8: I didn't want to. I didn't want that to be
- 2:49:02Speaker 8: the dominant thing about this.
- 2:49:05Speaker 2: This this, in this meeting, brother, I love simulation, like
- 2:49:10Speaker 2: the fact that you you're simulating the.
- 2:49:12Speaker 8: Game, right, No, fuck, we play it, man, you play.

- 2:49:26Speaker 8: So this is this is this is how I do.
- 2:49:29Speaker 8: I will play in this franchise with them.
- 2:49:32Speaker 2: I'll play them. Are we recording? Mitch? Okay?
- 2:49:35Speaker 8: I don't get on there and go I'm just gonna
- 2:49:37Speaker 8: jump in a random game with some Yahoo online.
- 2:49:41Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't do that. It's weird to me. It's weird.
- 2:49:45Speaker 8: I will race on the internet against anybody across the country,
- 2:49:49Speaker 8: the you know, twenty thirty dudes.
- 2:49:51Speaker 2: Yeah, but I can't.
- 2:49:52Speaker 8: It's weird to me to play.
- 2:49:53Speaker 2: Like a one on one talk about college football. What
- 2:49:58Speaker 2: use would you want to talk about this our podcasts
- 2:50:00Speaker 2: A little bit? Is the most recent national champion college
- 2:50:09Speaker 2: football coach in his league.
- 2:50:11Speaker 8: Okay, I was all right, So I don't know if
- 2:50:13Speaker 8: everybody can see this, but this is my gift from Charlotte.
- 2:50:17Speaker 8: You know, forty nine ers UNCC. I am in a
- 2:50:21Speaker 8: twenty three person league. Friends, buddies, people, I know. Some
- 2:50:26Speaker 8: people don't. And uh. I started as a one star
- 2:50:32Speaker 8: with Charlotte and recruited him up to a four and
- 2:50:34Speaker 8: a half star and beat Michigan, who's a buddy of mine.
- 2:50:38Speaker 8: He was my best man. He's the best man in
- 2:50:40Speaker 8: my wedding. TJ Majors. He's Michigan won three in a row,
- 2:50:43Speaker 8: Natty's in a row, and I beat him in the
- 2:50:45Speaker 8: last national championship and so unseated dynasty.
- 2:50:50Speaker 2: It's a fun YEAHEAHD Firm College Football Seco. It's fun.
- 2:50:54Speaker 8: And he's a better he's a better user, he's better
- 2:50:59Speaker 8: on the stick. So he's he's he and there are
- 2:51:02Speaker 8: other people in the league that are just a little
- 2:51:04Speaker 8: better on the stick, right, jukes.
- 2:51:07Speaker 2: U.
- 2:51:07Speaker 8: Well, I recruited, worked hard, so I was gonna bring
- 2:51:10Speaker 8: you my This is my iPad, my own personal iPad.
- 2:51:13Speaker 3: Right. So he literally halfway through this podcast I was
- 2:51:18Speaker 3: looking at I was like, why does he have?
- 2:51:20Speaker 8: All right, Well, it's the only way I can really
- 2:51:21Speaker 8: help you understand, like the work that goes into this.
- 2:51:24Speaker 8: So I have a spreadsheet on my dynasty, and this
- 2:51:28Speaker 8: is my offense, all right, And so like this is
- 2:51:34Speaker 8: your depth chart, Yes, depth chart, redism seniors, juniors. You know,
- 2:51:38Speaker 8: it's color coded for players. And these are all my
- 2:51:42Speaker 8: red shirts. And these are scouting. These are guys I'm scouting.
- 2:51:45Speaker 8: This is how many points I've got on them. Where
- 2:51:47Speaker 8: I am in the scouting first first, you know, second
- 2:51:50Speaker 8: in scouting. And so there's defense, all right.
- 2:51:55Speaker 2: This is a fool.
- 2:51:56Speaker 3: This is this is a manifesto. This is a Connor
- 2:51:58Speaker 3: Stallion's manifesto.
- 2:51:59Speaker 8: Yeah, that is my depth chart, right, And that's how I.
- 2:52:03Speaker 2: Have stuff on the game where you can see the
- 2:52:04Speaker 2: depth chart.
- 2:52:05Speaker 3: But I need to be able to take it overy
- 2:52:08Speaker 3: this is what the deal is, showing what he's been
- 2:52:10Speaker 3: greatest whole life.
- 2:52:10Speaker 8: I need to take it everywhere I go because I'm
- 2:52:12Speaker 8: always thinking about this and I'm always like, oh, I
- 2:52:15Speaker 8: got to move that guy's he's so offensive. Or the
- 2:52:20Speaker 8: outside linebacker speed rusher is broken, right, They in the game.
- 2:52:24Speaker 8: They can't they can't improve. So if you've got a
- 2:52:27Speaker 8: speed rusher outside linebacker, you got a moving for him
- 2:52:31Speaker 8: to really realize his potential. So maybe there's something like
- 2:52:34Speaker 8: that going on and you're like, I'm gonna move into
- 2:52:36Speaker 8: defensive end. So I got this with me all the time.
- 2:52:38Speaker 8: This is probably the real money of the whole. This
- 2:52:43Speaker 8: is all the success. So this is my playbook. So
- 2:52:46Speaker 8: these are all run plays. These are pass plays, RPOs, screens, right,
- 2:52:51Speaker 8: and so these numbers is the average yards per use.
- 2:52:57Speaker 8: So if I've used the plays one hundred times or
- 2:52:59Speaker 8: thirty times, how many times I've used to play, this
- 2:53:01Speaker 8: is average yards on that play. And so this is
- 2:53:05Speaker 8: where the play is in the situation. So first down,
- 2:53:09Speaker 8: these are all the first, these are all the run
- 2:53:10Speaker 8: plays in first down this place. So this is your
- 2:53:13Speaker 8: call sheet, it's my call sheet, and so I will
- 2:53:17Speaker 8: and like, you know, there's a you know, I don't know,
- 2:53:19Speaker 8: forty run plays. All of these aren't in my playbook.
- 2:53:22Speaker 8: I do a custom playbook. But this is how I
- 2:53:25Speaker 8: customize it. I run all these plays, I play multiple games,
- 2:53:29Speaker 8: and then I look at the average yardage that I
- 2:53:32Speaker 8: get for all these plays. I will then rank them
- 2:53:36Speaker 8: and their ability to gain yards, and then I will
- 2:53:40Speaker 8: customize my playbook and to make sure that when i'm
- 2:53:44Speaker 8: you know, on a first and ten, I've got it.
- 2:53:48Speaker 8: Suggesting to me, I use suggestions only, which is kind
- 2:53:51Speaker 8: of a no note for most people. Most people don't
- 2:53:53Speaker 8: think suggestions is the way to go. But I use suggestions,
- 2:53:56Speaker 8: but I have my custom book tailor to suggest to
- 2:53:58Speaker 8: me the exact play I need that's probably got the
- 2:54:01Speaker 8: most the play that's got the most probability to get
- 2:54:04Speaker 8: the first down. And there's you know, and then on
- 2:54:07Speaker 8: second and short, second, medium, second, long, all the situations right,
- 2:54:11Speaker 8: going for two goal line pass, whatever it's gonna give me.
- 2:54:16Speaker 8: At least you know, five or ten of the best
- 2:54:19Speaker 8: most highly successful plays for that moment. And every six
- 2:54:25Speaker 8: or seven games, I go through and look at all
- 2:54:27Speaker 8: my plays and make sure to update the average yardage
- 2:54:32Speaker 8: per use and because that moves it in. That moves
- 2:54:36Speaker 8: the play up and down the list, right, and maybe
- 2:54:38Speaker 8: there's a new play that I And the other thing
- 2:54:41Speaker 8: I do I got on my YouTube. I've got this
- 2:54:44Speaker 8: long curated playlist of videos. I follow about three or
- 2:54:47Speaker 8: four five content creators around n C double A, and
- 2:54:52Speaker 8: I watch all their videos and I write down everything
- 2:54:54Speaker 8: that they're learning and all the tricks, the cheese, whatever
- 2:54:58Speaker 8: you want to call it. And so there's all kinds
- 2:55:01Speaker 8: of quirky broken things about the game and recruiting and
- 2:55:05Speaker 8: player progression.
- 2:55:05Speaker 2: And stuff like follow Kirk Probably not he's a quarterback
- 2:55:10Speaker 2: for the Packers, but he breaks down college football twenty five.
- 2:55:12Speaker 2: Really I need to follow you.
- 2:55:14Speaker 8: I follow these guys that are making content daily and
- 2:55:17Speaker 8: always finding something new and unique and how to make
- 2:55:20Speaker 8: the best coach build and whatever. Right, And so I
- 2:55:23Speaker 8: write all this stuff down and have all this information
- 2:55:26Speaker 8: ready to go and make sure I'm doing everything I
- 2:55:28Speaker 8: need to be doing to be successful. And so when
- 2:55:30Speaker 8: I go play my buddy TJ, who's probably gonna beat
- 2:55:34Speaker 8: me one on one if we just sat down and
- 2:55:36Speaker 8: both took Alabama.
- 2:55:38Speaker 2: I gotta be all.
- 2:55:39Speaker 8: I gotta be ready with everything I can bring him
- 2:55:41Speaker 8: right to beat him and Michigan. He's he'll come up
- 2:55:45Speaker 8: to the line of scrimmage. Every damn player's got a
- 2:55:47Speaker 8: star under it all.
- 2:55:49Speaker 2: You know.
- 2:55:49Speaker 8: He's he's recruiting better than anybody else with his pipeline.
- 2:55:52Speaker 8: So I mean, he's got amazing players and he's good.
- 2:55:56Speaker 2: Your squad's got the but I got I.
- 2:55:58Speaker 8: Got I'm doing the work.
- 2:55:59Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you doing what the entire football staff is
- 2:56:03Speaker 3: just as one individual. So that is, and so you
- 2:56:06Speaker 3: won the NAXT Championship.
- 2:56:07Speaker 2: You don't play, he does. He corrected that. I guess
- 2:56:11Speaker 2: that's what he now means is I'm like, what if
- 2:56:13Speaker 2: we got a game in Yeah. For him, it's like, nah,
- 2:56:16Speaker 2: we there's no I don't sit down and play the
- 2:56:18Speaker 2: football game. And I picked my favorite team and we
- 2:56:20Speaker 2: play against each other.
- 2:56:21Speaker 8: I won't.
- 2:56:22Speaker 2: He's taking that id like he plays at his spot
- 2:56:25Speaker 2: in his spot only because he's got everything down in
- 2:56:27Speaker 2: ye right.
- 2:56:27Speaker 8: I play this dynasty and nothing else.
- 2:56:29Speaker 2: Like I don't do away games.
- 2:56:30Speaker 8: I don't sit down and do it. I don't sit
- 2:56:32Speaker 8: down and do a one on one with some random right, right,
- 2:56:36Speaker 8: I'm not into that.
- 2:56:37Speaker 2: It's weird. Make it to your league.
- 2:56:40Speaker 8: I go and play my league games. That's what I play.
- 2:56:42Speaker 8: And there's twenty three of us in there, and and
- 2:56:45Speaker 8: some of us. I got two teams. I got Stanford two,
- 2:56:48Speaker 8: and so I just started using Stanford just to kind
- 2:56:50Speaker 8: of kill the time between advances, because sometimes our advances
- 2:56:53Speaker 8: are four or five days, so there's a little bit
- 2:56:55Speaker 8: of dead time.
- 2:56:55Speaker 2: And I was gonna ask, like, what's the cadence with
- 2:56:57Speaker 2: this league?
- 2:56:58Speaker 8: Every four or five days is an advance, and so
- 2:57:01Speaker 8: he commissions it is the commissioner Michigan wos so before.
- 2:57:05Speaker 3: We started to yeah the podcast, you will the saying
- 2:57:08Speaker 3: that you don't play, but.
- 2:57:08Speaker 2: You actually do play the game. Yeah.
- 2:57:11Speaker 8: I play the games. We don't send the games, but
- 2:57:15Speaker 8: I don't play outside of this dynasty, Like I don't
- 2:57:17Speaker 8: play just pick up games with regular folks. I mean,
- 2:57:21Speaker 8: I think it would be fun, but it's I don't
- 2:57:23Speaker 8: know why.
- 2:57:24Speaker 2: It's too valuable.
- 2:57:25Speaker 8: It's weird to me. It's weird to me to play
- 2:57:27Speaker 8: one on one in any kind of console game with
- 2:57:30Speaker 8: a stranger. I don't know why it's weird to me,
- 2:57:32Speaker 8: but I do like being in like group activities like
- 2:57:35Speaker 8: where you play with Like in on my PC games,
- 2:57:37Speaker 8: I play a game called hell Let Loose and it's
- 2:57:39Speaker 8: a World War II shooter. So you got to squad
- 2:57:41Speaker 8: up with six guys and you'll all got to be
- 2:57:43Speaker 8: doing your jobs and ship like that. So and then
- 2:57:47Speaker 8: you gotta go.
- 2:57:47Speaker 2: You go racing. You gotta play PUBG.
- 2:57:50Speaker 8: I play PUBG back.
- 2:57:52Speaker 2: In the day.
- 2:57:52Speaker 8: But I'm I'm on a hell Let Loose now. But
- 2:57:55Speaker 8: on I Racing, right, you race against twenty thirty dudes
- 2:57:58Speaker 8: on I Racing on my sim My Simmer. I do
- 2:58:00Speaker 8: that anytime. I don't mind doing that. But this is
- 2:58:03Speaker 8: this deal here, and I'll say this, like and you
- 2:58:06Speaker 8: guys can probably appreciate this.
- 2:58:07Speaker 2: I mean, I've already appreciated everything that you've laid out
- 2:58:10Speaker 2: for us with that iPad.
- 2:58:12Speaker 8: The detail.
- 2:58:15Speaker 3: Situation is a massive respect factor that's taking place right
- 2:58:18Speaker 3: now where you've done here crazy.
- 2:58:21Speaker 8: The that's it's unnecessary and and if you're just I
- 2:58:27Speaker 8: know it's unnecessary, but I need to do it because.
- 2:58:29Speaker 2: I love the love.
- 2:58:31Speaker 8: I love the the details, I love the data. I
- 2:58:35Speaker 8: love the information, and like when I would when I
- 2:58:39Speaker 8: was working out and trying to stay in shape as
- 2:58:41Speaker 8: a race car driver, what I enjoyed doing was road bikes.
- 2:58:44Speaker 8: I hated the freaking ride. I hated the forty my ride.
- 2:58:47Speaker 2: I dreaded it.
- 2:58:48Speaker 8: What was hanging out there in front of me was
- 2:58:50Speaker 8: all of the data I got from the ride, my
- 2:58:53Speaker 8: average watts, you know, all of the information that I
- 2:58:56Speaker 8: would get from my you know, my technolo and all
- 2:59:00Speaker 8: the all the crap you could put on the bike
- 2:59:02Speaker 8: to tell me how I did compared to my last ride.
- 2:59:05Speaker 8: That's what I rode for, and that's what made me
- 2:59:08Speaker 8: want to ride, was to see if I was faster
- 2:59:10Speaker 8: or better. And and that's you know, and I think too,
- 2:59:14Speaker 8: like as I've retired from racing, and I don't have
- 2:59:18Speaker 8: that consuming my brain all the time, Like these little
- 2:59:22Speaker 8: hobbies are what keep my mind sharp at like fifty
- 2:59:25Speaker 8: years old, Like I need, like I need this mental
- 2:59:28Speaker 8: gymnastics that's in this you know, that's this bullshit that
- 2:59:31Speaker 8: I'm playing with my buddies, right, and I take it
- 2:59:35Speaker 8: way too far right and and but I'm like, hey,
- 2:59:37Speaker 8: you know that's my chance to win. That's how I'm
- 2:59:39Speaker 8: gonna beat DJ is to be like, make sure that
- 2:59:42Speaker 8: I am playing the I am calling the very best
- 2:59:44Speaker 8: play every single moment I can possibly call for myself.
- 2:59:47Speaker 8: And I know this because I've looked at all these
- 2:59:49Speaker 8: plays and I've ran them, and I've and I've listed
- 2:59:52Speaker 8: them and I've got them right here, and I've created
- 2:59:53Speaker 8: this very you know, custom playbook, and so yeah, it's fun.
- 3:00:00Speaker 2: You need you need to get us the next level
- 3:00:02Speaker 2: we did. We need an inspiring I don't know what
- 3:00:04Speaker 2: the next level could be.
- 3:00:05Speaker 8: I think it's already.
- 3:00:08Speaker 2: When I was racing and it was the forty miles
- 3:00:10Speaker 2: and I dreaded it. I hated it. It consumed me.
- 3:00:14Speaker 2: But all the technology, all the details, the process, the
- 3:00:18Speaker 2: loving it. And he's like, that's what I get out
- 3:00:20Speaker 2: of college football twenty five. He's like, I don't have
- 3:00:28Speaker 2: that anymore. And you know, when I'm coaching what's what's
- 3:00:32Speaker 2: the mascot for Charlotte the forty When I'm coaching those boys,
- 3:00:36Speaker 2: the Charlotte forty nine ers, and golly, Samuel, he's elevated
- 3:00:39Speaker 2: his GPA and now he can't plain he is eligible
- 3:00:42Speaker 2: this Saturday. And that's.
- 3:00:45Speaker 3: When I got a guy who's on the outside linebacker spot,
- 3:00:47Speaker 3: and I know he's reached his maximum potential, so I
- 3:00:49Speaker 3: move him into defensive and I get to see that
- 3:00:51Speaker 3: spark in his eyes. And we've had jumping to the next.
- 3:00:54Speaker 2: Level and we've had one on one conversations. I'm like, no,
- 3:00:56Speaker 2: you belong on the edge, and he's trying to tell
- 3:00:58Speaker 2: me I'm a stand up backer. And now I need
- 3:01:00Speaker 2: to trust this day of that this has given me.
- 3:01:02Speaker 2: And I found U.
- 3:01:03Speaker 3: I showed him the sheets. He doesn't believe in the sheets,
- 3:01:05Speaker 3: but eventually he did believe in the sheets, and what happened.
- 3:01:07Speaker 3: He's a five star, always a blue blood.
- 3:01:09Speaker 2: Yeah, and now he's a champion.
- 3:01:11Speaker 3: Yeah, because he listened, because he took the coaching. He's

- 3:02:06Speaker 2: in Nashville.
- 3:02:06Speaker 8: He flew the plane, he landed the playing here today,
- 3:02:09Speaker 8: and his name is Alex. And I played Alex a
- 3:02:12Speaker 8: couple of seasons ago and beat him really bad. And
- 3:02:14Speaker 8: so I spent the time on the next flight that
- 3:02:17Speaker 8: we were flying somewhere and wrote him a basic and
- 3:02:20Speaker 8: E book and gave him listen. I gave him my
- 3:02:22Speaker 8: play book.
- 3:02:24Speaker 2: You wrote him an E book.
- 3:02:25Speaker 8: I wrote him an e book mail emailed it to him.
- 3:02:28Speaker 8: I'm like, here's everything I do with scouting, Here's everything
- 3:02:31Speaker 8: I do with plays, Here's here's I say this ship.
- 3:02:36Speaker 8: And then I sent him. I sent him my PLO,
- 3:02:39Speaker 8: I sent him my playbook.
- 3:02:40Speaker 2: He wrote his buddy and E book. He wrote his
- 3:02:43Speaker 2: buddy of manifesto on how to become.
- 3:02:47Speaker 8: And he's dominant now and now like when I play him,
- 3:02:49Speaker 8: it's like, I know I got damn ship together because
- 3:02:51Speaker 8: he's gonna call the same ship I call, and I
- 3:02:53Speaker 8: got it. I don't even I don't even know how
- 3:02:54Speaker 8: to stop some of the ship I.
- 3:02:55Speaker 2: Call yea regrets you've transcended. Like if I was playing myself,
- 3:03:06Speaker 2: could I even beat Oh? And it's so funny because
- 3:03:15Speaker 2: the passion oozer from him. He really asked himself that
- 3:03:18Speaker 2: kind of question, how good he was doing. He's like,
- 3:03:21Speaker 2: have I have I done it? Have I cracked the code?
- 3:03:25Speaker 2: He said? I wrote, I've given him everything that I know,
- 3:03:28Speaker 2: And now I'm going to be playing against him and
- 3:03:31Speaker 2: he's going to be calling the same ship that I call,
- 3:03:33Speaker 2: and I'm wondering, can I even stop myself? And you
- 3:03:40Speaker 2: see the look in his eye like he's got Dayton.
- 3:03:47Speaker 8: Oh my god.
- 3:03:50Speaker 2: Oh it's a great question. Do you a picture of

- 3:10:48Speaker 8: But if you're a usering the player don't matter if
- 3:10:50Speaker 8: they got bad awareness. So I blew this dude up.

- 3:10:55Speaker 8: Destroyed the league for three years in a row, won
- 3:10:57Speaker 8: three three Super Bowls in a row. And then I

- 3:11:34Speaker 3: Okay, so much.
- 3:11:36Speaker 2: Dale was gooning with us on PUBG one night, and
- 3:11:39Speaker 2: I like Hill.
- 3:11:41Speaker 8: I like the the.
- 3:11:44Speaker 2: I like the real historical an Eyeland.
- 3:11:52Speaker 8: I like the historical. I like the historical, like World
- 3:11:56Speaker 8: War two era. So pub G just had a time.
- 3:11:59Speaker 8: I used to play pussy on crap Ton on this thing.
- 3:12:03Speaker 8: I used to play PUBG on iPad because like you
- 3:12:05Speaker 8: could take it anywhere, Yeah, and play anywhere, and it
- 3:12:08Speaker 8: was not bad on a movie, it's pretty good.
- 3:12:10Speaker 3: But did you ever play Red de Redemption two? Yeah,
- 3:12:16Speaker 3: give me your take on that game.
- 3:12:17Speaker 2: Did you play it all the way through?
- 3:12:19Speaker 8: I don't think I finished it. It's a lot. You
- 3:12:23Speaker 8: got to have the book. Did you get the book
- 3:12:25Speaker 8: to finish it?
- 3:12:26Speaker 1: Because you got to.
- 3:12:26Speaker 8: I mean, sometimes you'll get in some of the scenarios
- 3:12:28Speaker 8: and you're like, I really don't know what the fuck
- 3:12:30Speaker 8: to do right here, Like the book tells you every little.
- 3:12:32Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess maybe all the side missions, but I
- 3:12:35Speaker 2: mean I feel like.
- 3:12:36Speaker 3: Trying to find the treasure map or go skinning animals
- 3:12:38Speaker 3: or something like that. But if you're just playing the storyline.
- 3:12:40Speaker 2: I think I encourage.
- 3:12:41Speaker 8: I think I did the first one red De Redemption,
- 3:12:44Speaker 8: and then I didn't do the second one. I what
- 3:12:49Speaker 8: I want is and it may exist, but I don't know.
- 3:12:53Speaker 8: I got into red Ded Redemption two on a PC,
- 3:12:56Speaker 8: and I want to, like a I want to I
- 3:13:00Speaker 8: want a world that's existing all the time that you
- 3:13:03Speaker 8: can drop into that's a wild wild West, and like
- 3:13:07Speaker 8: you are, you're a character and you're always developing that character.
- 3:13:11Speaker 8: I know that you can jump into online play on
- 3:13:14Speaker 8: red De Redemption, but it's it's kind of cool. It's
- 3:13:17Speaker 8: kind of quirky.
- 3:13:18Speaker 2: It's not like.
- 3:13:18Speaker 8: Authentic, realistic experience, right you run around shooting people, will
- 3:13:24Speaker 8: they shoot you whatever? But it would be cool if
- 3:13:27Speaker 8: they can figure out a way or if there is
- 3:13:28Speaker 8: a way to like have a have a character that's everlasting,
- 3:13:32Speaker 8: Like that's your character. You drop in, you play this guy,
- 3:13:34Speaker 8: you're this guy, and you go, you know, put your
- 3:13:36Speaker 8: ass to bed, get up the you know, next time
- 3:13:38Speaker 8: you log in, you get out of bed and you
- 3:13:39Speaker 8: go run around and do some stuff, so.
- 3:13:43Speaker 2: You know it does. I'm just thinking, like, I wonder
- 3:13:45Speaker 2: if there's anything in VR, and then I'm thinking.
- 3:13:47Speaker 3: Like VR, but you might yeah, yeah, Dale, of all
- 3:13:51Speaker 3: the people would never expect this, but I think Dale
- 3:13:53Speaker 3: ready player one.
- 3:13:55Speaker 2: Yeah, you put the thing on, then.
- 3:13:56Speaker 3: All of a sudden you're in that world and you're
- 3:13:58Speaker 3: the real world kind.
- 3:13:59Speaker 2: Of goes to ship.
- 3:13:59Speaker 3: Yeah, this world because I'm the same way, I could
- 3:14:04Speaker 3: definitely fall into that trap.
- 3:14:05Speaker 2: Can get up, you take your you take your ass
- 3:14:07Speaker 2: to bed. And I'm just thinking, you played Harvest Moon before.
- 3:14:11Speaker 3: So in this Red Dead fantasy you have it's a
- 3:14:14Speaker 3: Western game, but you can like build a home land
- 3:14:17Speaker 3: all these so you can essentially live a real world.
- 3:14:20Speaker 3: So there's a game called ARC tried to put Will
- 3:14:23Speaker 3: and the Boys on it. They weren't really having it.
- 3:14:26Speaker 3: But essentially you start out as like a level zero
- 3:14:29Speaker 3: and you're like a caveman. You're you're living in priests
- 3:14:31Speaker 3: uh and dinosaur times, and you could you're essentially just
- 3:14:35Speaker 3: like trying to survive for your first fifty levels.
- 3:14:37Speaker 2: But you can learn to learn to.
- 3:14:39Speaker 3: Make tools, learn to build structures, learn tow you know,
- 3:14:42Speaker 3: you can start farming things, and eventually you can get
- 3:14:44Speaker 3: so good at ARC that you can have like technological
- 3:14:47Speaker 3: advances where you have like jet packs, you're flying on things.
- 3:14:50Speaker 3: There's dragons, and that is a world that is everlasting
- 3:14:53Speaker 3: the way you're saying, like you can live in that
- 3:14:55Speaker 3: and people can come to your world and take all
- 3:14:58Speaker 3: your stuff and you basic to start all over.
- 3:15:00Speaker 8: Yeah, that's kind of like day Z or was it Days?
- 3:15:06Speaker 8: We played day Z for a while. That's kind of yeah.
- 3:15:10Speaker 2: My old thing is you build that thing up and
- 3:15:12Speaker 2: you die and you get taken over. It's over the Asian.
- 3:15:15Speaker 8: Clans coming, So that start over days is like the
- 3:15:18Speaker 8: zombie Apocalypse. You you launch into the world and this
- 3:15:21Speaker 8: thing's been around forever and it's kind of it kind
- 3:15:25Speaker 8: of goes through these certain periods of popularity and but
- 3:15:29Speaker 8: you land on this big giant island and you got
- 3:15:32Speaker 8: nothing right and you got to you gotta eat. You're like,
- 3:15:34Speaker 8: your guy will die if you don't like feeding food,
- 3:15:36Speaker 8: and you you know, you steal from people and you
- 3:15:39Speaker 8: build houses to hide your ship in, and it's kind
- 3:15:43Speaker 8: of the same way, but it doesn't really progress beyond
- 3:15:45Speaker 8: like the technology bear bear basic technology, and that you
- 3:15:48Speaker 8: have is what you have.
- 3:15:50Speaker 2: Yeah, this was Sky No, that was great.
- 3:15:53Speaker 3: That's a fun game. I but we need to go
- 3:15:55Speaker 3: back to Red Deverri Deamonster real quick. You need to
- 3:15:57Speaker 3: go play too. You need to play it all the
- 3:15:59Speaker 3: way through and you play storyline and fully invest in
- 3:16:02Speaker 3: Arthur Morgan. To me, this is the greatest game ever
- 3:16:04Speaker 3: crewd Okay. When I got my ACL refixed in twenty
- 3:16:09Speaker 3: twenty one, I had eight days and I played the
- 3:16:11Speaker 3: entire game in eight days. I had nothing else to do.
- 3:16:13Speaker 3: I sobbed at the end of the game. I had
- 3:16:16Speaker 3: had no joke, tears streaming down my face. It's me
- 3:16:19Speaker 3: and my wife and I cried. And then there was
- 3:16:21Speaker 3: a break in crying, and as I was going to
- 3:16:23Speaker 3: sleep it and I started to recry about the game.
- 3:16:27Speaker 2: That's how How did your wife take that?
- 3:16:30Speaker 3: She was like, Yo, what the fuck these pain pills
- 3:16:32Speaker 3: are on? Must be a way different than anything I've
- 3:16:34Speaker 3: ever thinked.
- 3:16:35Speaker 8: I'm already getting a lot of shit back buddy in
- 3:16:37Speaker 8: in cla football I'm playing.
- 3:16:38Speaker 3: I'm not sure it effect.
- 3:16:40Speaker 8: How she might react if I cried.
- 3:16:42Speaker 3: Yeah over a game, yeah, Arthur, No, just from the
- 3:16:46Speaker 3: other room.
- 3:16:46Speaker 2: That might push her over the edge.
- 3:16:48Speaker 3: Mane, I'm getting emotional thinking about it now. To be
- 3:16:52Speaker 3: honest with you, I'm getting emotional thinking about Arthur Morgan
- 3:16:55Speaker 3: right now. Well, and I know there's a bunch of
- 3:16:56Speaker 3: tier ones right now saying, oh, you need a double stream.
- 3:16:58Speaker 3: I'm going to double stream. It's been a busy couple.

- 3:18:40Speaker 2: He's like, by the end of my life, like, I
- 3:18:42Speaker 2: don't care. I will do I will move heaven and
- 3:18:44Speaker 2: earth to create this little docu series and I won't
- 3:18:47Speaker 2: say what the concept is, because he told us afterwards,
- 3:18:49Speaker 2: He's like, I can't tell you guys, but I will
- 3:18:51Speaker 2: get this made. I don't care how many views it gets.
- 3:18:53Speaker 2: It doesn't matter, Like I want this story to come
- 3:18:55Speaker 2: to life somewhere somehow. He would do anything to get
- 3:18:58Speaker 2: this docu series. What is something that my life has
- 3:19:03Speaker 2: been amazing? There ain't shit. I don't know. I mean,
- 3:19:10Speaker 2: I don't want to say that.
- 3:19:11Speaker 8: I mean, obviously the traditional things I have to probably say.
- 3:19:13Speaker 8: Some people that are watching this don't go, what fuck's
- 3:19:16Speaker 8: wrong with this guy?
- 3:19:16Speaker 2: With my wife and my kids?
- 3:19:17Speaker 8: But outside of I would uh uh, I think I
- 3:19:29Speaker 8: would probably. I mean, does the things that keep hopping
- 3:19:33Speaker 8: in my mind are like getting my getting my kids
- 3:19:36Speaker 8: through college, or because my life has been I've already
- 3:19:42Speaker 8: done all the things. I've already done everything. I did
- 3:19:44Speaker 8: it all, I did everything I wanted. I don't there's
- 3:19:47Speaker 8: nothing sitting in front of me where like shit, I
- 3:19:49Speaker 8: hope that happens. Not even the cup stuff, Like if
- 3:19:52Speaker 8: the cup thing happens, I was going to bring that up.
- 3:19:54Speaker 2: I don't want to.
- 3:19:55Speaker 8: I wouldn't do anything for that, you know, I'm kind
- 3:19:59Speaker 8: of I'm kind of f and good and I want
- 3:20:02Speaker 8: you know, I want to watch, I want to be
- 3:20:06Speaker 8: I want to be more excited invested in what happens
- 3:20:09Speaker 8: between you know, now and my kids graduating school, moving
- 3:20:12Speaker 8: out of the house.
- 3:20:13Speaker 2: Right, are they gonna play sports?
- 3:20:15Speaker 8: Is it gonna be dance? Whatever the hell it's gonna be, right?
- 3:20:17Speaker 8: What are we gonna what are we gonna get into?
- 3:20:19Speaker 8: And my goal, I think is all of that, whatever
- 3:20:24Speaker 8: that is in that whatever happens between now and them
- 3:20:28Speaker 8: graduating college, which I hope they do. Oh, that's fine,
- 3:20:32Speaker 8: they choose, but like I want to make sure that
- 3:20:34Speaker 8: they are when they leave the house right.
- 3:20:37Speaker 2: To be adults, that they are equipped with all the tools.
- 3:20:42Speaker 8: And so like I would do anything in the world
- 3:20:44Speaker 8: to make sure that that is what situation they're in,
- 3:20:48Speaker 8: you know what I mean. Yeah, there ain't nothing in
- 3:20:52Speaker 8: front of me personally, professionally that is. That's the I'm like, oh,
- 3:21:01Speaker 8: you know, gotta get it.
- 3:21:02Speaker 2: It seems like it sounds it seems like back to
- 3:21:04Speaker 2: back titles and yeah, I'm a.
- 3:21:07Speaker 3: Generic answer and made it beautiful the way you for
- 3:21:10Speaker 3: your kids.
- 3:21:11Speaker 8: Dude, I'm gonna tell you right now, if the I
- 3:21:14Speaker 8: got a on my podcast, this week, we played a
- 3:21:17Speaker 8: clip TJ is my podcast co host, my buddy that
- 3:21:20Speaker 8: I beat with Michigan. We played a clip from the
- 3:21:23Speaker 8: coach of the un C forty nine ers congratulating me.
- 3:21:26Speaker 8: I got the helmet a jersey hat.
- 3:21:30Speaker 2: I told him.
- 3:21:31Speaker 8: I told all my buddies in our discord, I said, hey,
- 3:21:33Speaker 8: I just booked a spot on Busting with the Boys
- 3:21:35Speaker 8: to go talk about the Natty. I told him that
- 3:21:39Speaker 8: two weeks ago, and they're like, yeah, And so I've
- 3:21:44Speaker 8: been running this into the ground and TJ is over it,
- 3:21:48Speaker 8: and so like, if I don't beat his ass this
- 3:21:50Speaker 8: next time, it's gonna be help.
- 3:21:52Speaker 2: Book the spot. I'm busting with the boys, are gonna
- 3:21:54Speaker 2: talk about the Natty.
- 3:21:55Speaker 3: If I don't win, he is going, when does the
- 3:21:57Speaker 3: next season start.
- 3:21:58Speaker 8: It's already started with like three four weeks in, so
- 3:22:00Speaker 8: I think we'll play this, you know, we'll play the
- 3:22:01Speaker 8: national Championship probably in about four or five four weeks maybe.
- 3:22:04Speaker 3: Oh, it's just short lived celebration and then there's on
- 3:22:07Speaker 3: a tour of celebrating your nest chamionship in the middle
- 3:22:10Speaker 3: of the next season.
- 3:22:12Speaker 8: And so he's he's you know, he's the favorite to
- 3:22:15Speaker 8: do it to win next the next Natty, and he's
- 3:22:18Speaker 8: already probably behind the scenes planning his celebration because he
- 3:22:22Speaker 8: has some Canadians. He has connections at Michigan does it.
- 3:22:26Speaker 8: He knows some people. So it could be rough, but
- 3:22:29Speaker 8: I told him, I'm like, live it up. Man. Who
- 3:22:31Speaker 8: would have thought Charlotte taken him down?
- 3:22:34Speaker 2: I would not have thought a lot of money on family.
- 3:22:37Speaker 8: Before we end, before we end this, I just wanted
- 3:22:40Speaker 8: to I brought this helmet. Now, we didn't talk about this,
- 3:22:43Speaker 8: and there's really nothing to it. There's not a story
- 3:22:45Speaker 8: or anything other than you know, y'all both know that
- 3:22:48Speaker 8: I love Washington. And when I went to in twenty fifteen,
- 3:22:52Speaker 8: I had an appearance to go to the College Football
- 3:22:56Speaker 8: Hall of Fame and I'm standing to I'm also meeting
- 3:23:03Speaker 8: make a Wish Kid there that particular day, we were
- 3:23:04Speaker 8: going to tour the facility right and look around all
- 3:23:07Speaker 8: the cool shit in there. I'm standing there and Dave Butts,
- 3:23:12Speaker 8: was alignment for Washington, walks up and he goes hey
- 3:23:16Speaker 8: and you know, introduce himself. I was like, I know
- 3:23:18Speaker 8: who you are, and he handed me this helmet. I
- 3:23:22Speaker 8: want you to have this. So it was a big
- 3:23:24Speaker 8: surprise that he was going to be there for me,
- 3:23:26Speaker 8: and somebody had set that up. And so Dave Butts
- 3:23:29Speaker 8: walks up and he gives me this helmet and he's like,
- 3:23:31Speaker 8: this is my helmet from nineteen eighty four. I immediately
- 3:23:34Speaker 8: obviously recognized it was a game warm helmet, and he's like,
- 3:23:37Speaker 8: I want you to have it. And so people ask
- 3:23:40Speaker 8: me all the time like, and I thought to bring
- 3:23:42Speaker 8: this today because people ask me all the time, like,
- 3:23:44Speaker 8: what's your favorite piece of memorabilia of outside of racing,
- 3:23:48Speaker 8: and so this is it. This is my favorite piece
- 3:23:51Speaker 8: of shit that I've got, right of the all the
- 3:23:54Speaker 8: Washington I got helmets, tons of helmets. I collect helmets
- 3:23:57Speaker 8: I got I got one hundred and eighty ish call
- 3:24:00Speaker 8: edge in football helmets, right of all types of teams.
- 3:24:03Speaker 8: And this is number one out of helmets or any
- 3:24:06Speaker 8: other piece of uniform, signed jersey, anything. This is my
- 3:24:10Speaker 8: holy grail. And Dave gave this to me, and I thought,
- 3:24:14Speaker 8: y'all woul appreciate it being players, knowing what this probably
- 3:24:17Speaker 8: went through, Knowing what davey R I thought I needed
- 3:24:24Speaker 8: to bring that. I wanted to bring it for like
- 3:24:27Speaker 8: maybe some some inspiration.
- 3:24:30Speaker 2: They played That's a different different world, Different world.
- 3:24:33Speaker 8: Yeah that he was so logo too. Yep, it's back, man.
- 3:24:39Speaker 8: They kind of thought, hey, we're bringing it back. It's nice.
- 3:24:43Speaker 2: Have they been bringing it back?
- 3:24:44Speaker 8: They talked about the logo can come back, and they're
- 3:24:46Speaker 8: going to use the logo in some marketing and some
- 3:24:49Speaker 8: things because of the family that designed it was like, hey,
- 3:24:52Speaker 8: you know this is this is something we'd like to
- 3:24:54Speaker 8: have have happened. So I think there's been some conversations
- 3:24:56Speaker 8: around the logo itself being used in some market back.
- 3:25:00Speaker 8: I don't think the logo was ever coming back to
- 3:25:01Speaker 8: the helmet, right, But yeah, pretty neat man.
- 3:25:05Speaker 2: I just Washington's in a good spot. Man.
- 3:25:07Speaker 8: They are kidding me in a great spot. They're in
- 3:25:11Speaker 8: a great spot.
- 3:25:12Speaker 2: It was fun watching them last year just make that
- 3:25:13Speaker 2: run and beating the Lions. That was crazy. It performed
- 3:25:19Speaker 2: the entire game too. Yeah.
- 3:25:22Speaker 8: I hadn't ran around and I was in Texas at
- 3:25:25Speaker 8: my wife's had some friends and family we were visiting,
- 3:25:27Speaker 8: and I was running around in this in this person's
- 3:25:30Speaker 8: living room like a maniac.
- 3:25:32Speaker 2: You know.
- 3:25:32Speaker 8: During the game, Amy's invested. Amy's into it, The kids
- 3:25:36Speaker 8: are into it they wear jerseys and you and they
- 3:25:38Speaker 8: get the little cheerleader uniforms, and my little girl isla
- 3:25:41Speaker 8: six years old. It's like, hey, Commanders playing today, are
- 3:25:45Speaker 8: we wearing the jerseys? We got to wear the jerseys.
- 3:25:48Speaker 8: I'm like, yeah, let's get the jerseys. And so, I mean,
- 3:25:52Speaker 8: the fact that they're good, the fact that they're winning,
- 3:25:54Speaker 8: it's all like happening at the perfect time for me
- 3:25:57Speaker 8: because my family's in my my girls are kind of impressionable.
- 3:26:02Speaker 8: And when they were winning those games at the end
- 3:26:05Speaker 8: of last season, it brought me back to my childhood
- 3:26:09Speaker 8: because when you know, they hadn't they hadn't really kicked
- 3:26:11Speaker 8: real ass since ninety one. I was I remember where
- 3:26:14Speaker 8: I was when they won against Denver in the Super Bowl,
- 3:26:17Speaker 8: against the Bills, against Miami, and I remember physically where
- 3:26:22Speaker 8: I was standing or what I was doing, and and
- 3:26:25Speaker 8: I hadn't been that happy and been able. It was
- 3:26:27Speaker 8: so nice to be happy and like really truly genuinely
- 3:26:33Speaker 8: cheering about your team going that deep into you know,
- 3:26:36Speaker 8: the postseason. I know I'm overstating it a little bit
- 3:26:39Speaker 8: as a but I'm a fan, right, so I'm biased.
- 3:26:41Speaker 8: But you know, you you played there and you know
- 3:26:45Speaker 8: the history and the legacy of that team and what
- 3:26:48Speaker 8: that means to the fans that go to those games,
- 3:26:50Speaker 8: and oh yeah, all the teams you've played for, you
- 3:26:52Speaker 8: know how passionate the fans are. And God almighty, we've
- 3:26:55Speaker 8: been waiting a long time. I mean there's other teams
- 3:26:57Speaker 8: that have been waiting a long time too, But damn,
- 3:26:59Speaker 8: it's been tough.
- 3:27:00Speaker 2: That just the story of Washington, the ownership and Cloud
- 3:27:03Speaker 2: that's kind of been root for him.
- 3:27:05Speaker 8: But you're like, they couldn't do anything right owner off
- 3:27:08Speaker 8: the field, it was always bad news. You'd like, nobody
- 3:27:11Speaker 8: wants to play for us. Look at all this ship
- 3:27:13Speaker 8: going on, all the you can't escape the bullshit.
- 3:27:16Speaker 2: And then to get new ownership and coaching staff and
- 3:27:19Speaker 2: it feels like turned around and inane players in and
- 3:27:24Speaker 2: them have the success that they've had so quickly.
- 3:27:26Speaker 8: It turned around insane way fast. I've been watching free agency,
- 3:27:29Speaker 8: I will. I'm looking at my phone every day following
- 3:27:32Speaker 8: the JP and a couple of those guys going right, man,
- 3:27:35Speaker 8: what's up? Who is a giant?
- 3:27:37Speaker 2: Yes?
- 3:27:37Speaker 8: Like who's yes? I'm like, who oh man, those are
- 3:27:41Speaker 8: my guys, And I'm like, what's the news.
- 3:27:44Speaker 2: You know, let me know.
- 3:27:45Speaker 8: Oh, you know, because we're all fired up about our
- 3:27:47Speaker 8: GM and all we think he walks on watery and
- 3:27:50Speaker 8: uh and we're like, hey man, they're gonna now that.
- 3:27:53Speaker 8: Now that we've shown everybody in the league that what
- 3:27:55Speaker 8: we can do, and everybody's excited about Jaden, it's all
- 3:27:58Speaker 8: these players are like, I want to go there.
- 3:28:00Speaker 2: Yeah, let's see it.
- 3:28:01Speaker 8: Let's see it. Here's free agency, let's see who signs up.
- 3:28:08Speaker 3: Sounds like a passionate man in general. The thing I
- 3:28:10Speaker 3: love you talking about, though, is like your kids getting
- 3:28:12Speaker 3: fired up watching the games with you. Because my oldest
- 3:28:16Speaker 3: daughters started to hit that with Michigan like this year,
- 3:28:19Speaker 3: like she every Saturday, like we'd have the game on
- 3:28:21Speaker 3: or whatever during the day and we'd either watch it
- 3:28:23Speaker 3: casually and then I would go back and watch it,
- 3:28:25Speaker 3: or like she would sit down and watch it with me.
- 3:28:27Speaker 3: And when we played Ohio State this year and we won,
- 3:28:30Speaker 3: I remember choosing in the other room because she was
- 3:28:31Speaker 3: doing something her her mom and my youngest daughter are
- 3:28:36Speaker 3: like sprinting in the room like we're all high five,
- 3:28:38Speaker 3: Like they were like truly about it. I thought was
- 3:28:40Speaker 3: like the coolest moment I didn't meet my wife when
- 3:28:44Speaker 3: I was at Michigan, but like she knows, like I
- 3:28:47Speaker 3: enjoyed playing there and stuff like that, and I have
- 3:28:48Speaker 3: like recently become like a bigger and bigger fan and
- 3:28:50Speaker 3: like really dived into the culture. And to see my
- 3:28:52Speaker 3: seven year old be about it and then here you
- 3:28:54Speaker 3: talk about your kids even about it, putting the jerseys on, all.
- 3:28:56Speaker 8: That very similar.
- 3:28:57Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like, this is how fans are built. This
- 3:29:00Speaker 3: is like organically how fans.
- 3:29:01Speaker 2: Are just made. And that's awesome. Teaching to go big
- 3:29:04Speaker 2: red change, Yeah, dad, dad football, Like, yeah, we're gonna
- 3:29:07Speaker 2: watch football today, sweetheart. We're gonna have that, all right.
- 3:29:09Speaker 2: I'm gonna be watching Daniel Tiger.
- 3:29:11Speaker 3: The entire Kickrocks for just twelve hours. All right, we'll
- 3:29:14Speaker 3: get back to it tomorrow.
- 3:29:16Speaker 2: This is me and my daughter.
- 3:29:17Speaker 3: I took her to uh Northwestern and so that's the
- 3:29:21Speaker 3: game before Ohio Stadium, and uh, I mean they dropped
- 3:29:24Speaker 3: like a fifty burger of Northwestern. So win was kind
- 3:29:27Speaker 3: of dialed and I talked to the team before too,
- 3:29:28Speaker 3: so I was like, maybe something's in the air. And
- 3:29:30Speaker 3: technically they're undefeated since me and my daughter went to
- 3:29:32Speaker 3: that game.
- 3:29:32Speaker 8: So me and me and Amy were at the Chicago
- 3:29:36Speaker 8: game where they had the Harold Mary Oh shit insane.
- 3:29:40Speaker 2: That was so wild.
- 3:29:42Speaker 8: We were sitting there in this.
- 3:29:43Speaker 2: We got is she yes football?
- 3:29:46Speaker 8: Yeah, she's she likes it because I like it and
- 3:29:49Speaker 8: there's not been a lot to there.
- 3:29:50Speaker 2: We are.
- 3:29:51Speaker 8: We got to go down on the field probably about
- 3:29:53Speaker 8: probably about twenty feet away from us. You know that moment, right,
- 3:29:56Speaker 8: everybody's gone, the whole stayings empty. Jayden's about twenty feet
- 3:29:59Speaker 8: away doing it review and I would get to luckily
- 3:30:01Speaker 8: get to say, man, a big Benny, You're badass, you know.
- 3:30:04Speaker 2: And so that was a cool moment for us owner
- 3:30:07Speaker 2: if jaydaen't even understands how big of a deal that is.
- 3:30:10Speaker 3: Character he waited for you to finish interview.
- 3:30:14Speaker 8: He has other things in his mind that are big deals, right, Yeah,
- 3:30:16Speaker 8: that are cool, And and his generation and the people
- 3:30:19Speaker 8: that he like holds it a certain level of you know,
- 3:30:23Speaker 8: celebrity status or whatever. But we were I wore my
- 3:30:27Speaker 8: Riggings jersey. I'm like they let me go sitting in
- 3:30:31Speaker 8: the owner suite like that was automatic when Dan was there,
- 3:30:33Speaker 8: when Dan on the team, I was getting invites every
- 3:30:35Speaker 8: week and then the new new people come in and
- 3:30:38Speaker 8: I'm like, man, I wonder if I get that invite. Yeah,
- 3:30:41Speaker 8: and so they sent one and we're like, all right,
- 3:30:43Speaker 8: we're going. We didn't know where we were sitting, but
- 3:30:45Speaker 8: they walked us in there and like, oh, hell, they've done.
- 3:30:48Speaker 8: We redid the whole thing. Whole owner suite's like a
- 3:30:50Speaker 8: whole different color now. And we sat down on the
- 3:30:53Speaker 8: front row watch a whole game and.
- 3:30:57Speaker 2: They ain't looking good. Everybody's leaving.
- 3:30:59Speaker 8: Everybody's kind of leaving the even their owner suite. And
- 3:31:02Speaker 8: he's like, what we're doing.
- 3:31:03Speaker 2: I was like, we are leaving.
- 3:31:04Speaker 8: I was like, you know, even if we lose, we're
- 3:31:06Speaker 8: gonna lose, We're gonna stand here a few minutes, soak
- 3:31:08Speaker 8: it in.
- 3:31:09Speaker 2: We'll just wait. We got a few minutes.
- 3:31:12Speaker 8: And we're standing there and and you know, he he's
- 3:31:17Speaker 8: the ball up in the air and yeah, we're watching
- 3:31:20Speaker 8: and they fucking caught that pass and that and what
- 3:31:24Speaker 8: people were left. It was like pandemonium, Like Amy, I'm watching.
- 3:31:28Speaker 8: I was like watching Amy go crazy, like loving that
- 3:31:31Speaker 8: because I'm like Ship. You know, my wife is, you know,
- 3:31:34Speaker 8: a big Commanders fan now, and I don't know man,
- 3:31:38Speaker 8: that was a to have been there and seeing that
- 3:31:40Speaker 8: in person. And I remember like watching the one guy
- 3:31:42Speaker 8: go down the field number twenty three that that that that. Yeah,
- 3:31:46Speaker 8: I'm watching it and I'm like, here's an opportunity this
- 3:31:49Speaker 8: This fucking guy is not paying attention. I wonder if
- 3:31:50Speaker 8: anybody else know this is just like you know, because
- 3:31:53Speaker 8: he went viral. Yeah, and so I'm thinking, man, this this,
- 3:31:57Speaker 8: this might be a chance. There might be a chance here.
- 3:32:00Speaker 8: And uh, of course you know, y'all know how it
- 3:32:02Speaker 8: went down, but got am mighty too. Y'all have probably
- 3:32:06Speaker 8: seen the hell Mary moment or the the buzzer beater.
- 3:32:12Speaker 8: Y'all seen that because y'all are in sports so much
- 3:32:15Speaker 8: in college, high school, NFL, you've probably been part of
- 3:32:18Speaker 8: those moments.
- 3:32:19Speaker 6: Right.
- 3:32:20Speaker 8: That was my first like real like buzzer beater, like prayer,
- 3:32:26Speaker 8: that one in a million, yeah, you know, and then
- 3:32:28Speaker 8: for us to go on and do what we did
- 3:32:30Speaker 8: the rest of the year, right because that was kind
- 3:32:31Speaker 8: of early in the season. But I mean it's just incredible.
- 3:32:34Speaker 3: But especially it's like Caleb Williams, who was the first
- 3:32:36Speaker 3: overall pick. There's obviously that like, yeah, this big long
- 3:32:40Speaker 3: run off in the second and third quarter, and I
- 3:32:42Speaker 3: was like, here we go fucking falling apart. Our defense
- 3:32:45Speaker 3: had held them up God for so long, and now
- 3:32:47Speaker 3: it's like they found the holes, they found the kryptonite,
- 3:32:50Speaker 3: and they're gonta damn just destroy us.
- 3:32:53Speaker 8: Or that. You know they're gonna win the game day
- 3:32:56Speaker 8: we got it. That was a fun season last year.
- 3:32:59Speaker 8: I hope this year is good.
- 3:33:00Speaker 2: Hope so too.
- 3:33:01Speaker 3: Because you worry about you worry about the sophomore slump.
- 3:33:04Speaker 2: That's always worry. Yeah, that's always a little bit of
- 3:33:07Speaker 2: a deal. We've done some good, you're getting some they'll
- 3:33:09Speaker 2: get better to the draft and.
- 3:33:11Speaker 8: We only got five picks, so I don't know what
- 3:33:13Speaker 8: that means. And I don't.
- 3:33:14Speaker 2: I keep hearing the just picked up somebody for agency, right.
- 3:33:17Speaker 8: The left tackle from the Texans.
- 3:33:20Speaker 2: That's right, Yeah, yeah, I mean they're good too. Yeah.
- 3:33:24Speaker 2: He's got good footwork. Good, yeah, good footwork. What's up?
- 3:33:28Speaker 3: Good luck strongs the game? Actually, but they gave him there,
- 3:33:33Speaker 3: they're gonna break him off. I don't know if he
- 3:33:34Speaker 3: signed a new contract.
- 3:33:35Speaker 2: Yeah, but they Houston got a whole bunch of picks.
- 3:33:38Speaker 2: They're gonna have to pay him. Yeah, big time.
- 3:33:42Speaker 8: Well, they got to pay Jayden to a couple of years.
- 3:33:45Speaker 2: The good thing is they have Jaden on the rookie deal.
- 3:33:48Speaker 2: They can just get out there now, yeah, and see
- 3:33:50Speaker 2: if they can wait at least two more years. Two
- 3:33:52Speaker 2: more years. Yeah, Yeah, it's fine to watch him work. Man.
- 3:33:55Speaker 8: They're the the free agency, you know, besides the left
- 3:34:02Speaker 8: tackle from Texas. The players that they bring in, You're like,
- 3:34:05Speaker 8: h I never heard of this guy.
- 3:34:06Speaker 2: Who's this guy? What's the story?
- 3:34:08Speaker 8: And and their story is really not like he's dominated,
- 3:34:11Speaker 8: you know, it's kind of like wells a, he's a journeyman, dependable,
- 3:34:15Speaker 8: he'll get in there, he'll do the job, you know.
- 3:34:17Speaker 8: And that's what they did last year. They had all
- 3:34:19Speaker 8: these one year deals. I don't know shit about this,
- 3:34:21Speaker 8: like you guys, but you know, I'm watching them like
- 3:34:23Speaker 8: it's it's it's strange because everybody's everybody's now signing like
- 3:34:27Speaker 8: one year deals on these you know, these you know,
- 3:34:31Speaker 8: these veterans that are in like the seventies six sixty
- 3:34:34Speaker 8: seventy percent mark of their career, they're kind of they
- 3:34:37Speaker 8: got a little left in the tank. But I mean,
- 3:34:39Speaker 8: how is is that the way it's always been? Because
- 3:34:41Speaker 8: it feels like I remember, it felt like for years
- 3:34:46Speaker 8: when free agency came, everybody signed like three, four, five, six,
- 3:34:49Speaker 8: seven year deals. And now everyone is doing these like
- 3:34:53Speaker 8: one year, two year, little rinky dink, you'll play here
- 3:34:57Speaker 8: this year, maybe not next year.
- 3:34:59Speaker 3: The and I think it's become more and more casual
- 3:35:03Speaker 3: now than ever. This is this this free agency has
- 3:35:06Speaker 3: been very unique in the sense that the market keeps
- 3:35:09Speaker 3: getting hired and higher, just in these like this pocket
- 3:35:11Speaker 3: of this couple of weeks, like Max Crosby was the
- 3:35:14Speaker 3: number one, you know, highest non paid quarterback of all time,
- 3:35:17Speaker 3: and then a day later Miles Garrett. Then a day
- 3:35:19Speaker 3: and then like you know, now he's like the fifth
- 3:35:21Speaker 3: highest paid. So it's really interesting to see these like
- 3:35:23Speaker 3: markets set, like these cap setting contracts happening. But a
- 3:35:28Speaker 3: lot of times, like you get through the first wave
- 3:35:30Speaker 3: of that free agency, which is like your your top
- 3:35:32Speaker 3: guys who are able to get away from their teams
- 3:35:34Speaker 3: are gonna pick up, and then you get like a
- 3:35:36Speaker 3: lot of the guys that have like you know, they're
- 3:35:37Speaker 3: signing usually.
- 3:35:37Speaker 2: The one the two year deals.
- 3:35:39Speaker 3: It's like, is he gonna work out? We know he's
- 3:35:40Speaker 3: got the talent, can he really get it done.
- 3:35:43Speaker 2: So I think too, there's not as much of a
- 3:35:45Speaker 2: market because the structure and the new CBA and everything else.
- 3:35:48Speaker 2: When the minimums went up for rookies, it kind of
- 3:35:52Speaker 2: squeezed that middle class a little bit more because the rookies,
- 3:35:55Speaker 2: they'd be on cheaper deals, so you would see more three,
- 3:35:57Speaker 2: four or five year deals of like the middle tier guys.
- 3:36:00Speaker 2: But over time it's like the floor has raised for
- 3:36:04Speaker 2: the rookie deals and it's like, we're gonna have this
- 3:36:06Speaker 2: rookie for three or four years. You don't necessarily pay
- 3:36:09Speaker 2: the middle class as much. You can kind of put
- 3:36:11Speaker 2: all your eggs into the guys that you want here
- 3:36:14Speaker 2: long term, and guys will take those one or two
- 3:36:16Speaker 2: year deals because they're essentially trying to be on proved
- 3:36:18Speaker 2: deals to where they haven't seen the guarantees that they
- 3:36:21Speaker 2: would like in a full contract. Because if you're a
- 3:36:23Speaker 2: good player and somebody's offering and let's just say, you know,
- 3:36:27Speaker 2: three years, thirty million dollars, but only you know five
- 3:36:31Speaker 2: to ten guaranteed or something like that, then that player
- 3:36:34Speaker 2: probably thinks in his head, I will just do a
- 3:36:36Speaker 2: one year deal, get a guaranteed contract as much as
- 3:36:39Speaker 2: I can and then hopefully try and hit a lick
- 3:36:40Speaker 2: the next time around, because it will middle classes kind
- 3:36:43Speaker 2: of get squeezed out because you'll just sign guys on
- 3:36:45Speaker 2: one year minimums or one year for lower money. But
- 3:36:47Speaker 2: you don't see those like middle tier contracts being laid
- 3:36:50Speaker 2: out as much.
- 3:36:50Speaker 3: Ay, and well we'll just structure out with a three
- 3:36:52Speaker 3: or thirty million dollars ten million guarantee, Like that's that's
- 3:36:55Speaker 3: a three year deal, but really it's a one year deal, right,
- 3:36:58Speaker 3: like that that's a proved deal. Yeah, was of the
- 3:37:00Speaker 3: past because of this whole level just said the middle
- 3:37:02Speaker 3: class getting squeezed because really all you have is your guarantee.
- 3:37:05Speaker 3: A lot of these guys want to look at the
- 3:37:07Speaker 3: total contract number, like these guys are making whatever, two
- 3:37:10Speaker 3: hundred million dollar contracts. Oh, it's awesome, but then it's like, well,
- 3:37:13Speaker 3: you only got this much guaranteed, though they guarantee is
- 3:37:15Speaker 3: what is the most important thing, not how big the
- 3:37:18Speaker 3: number is, because they could walk away from me where
- 3:37:20Speaker 3: they could backle it the contract and all these different things.
- 3:37:23Speaker 3: So there's a lot of like shenanigans and like savvy
- 3:37:26Speaker 3: things that take place during the free agency market.
- 3:37:28Speaker 8: Yeah, it's pretty fascinating to watch and we'll see how
- 3:37:32Speaker 8: how it plays out for my team.
- 3:37:34Speaker 3: Is there any like free agency type stuff in Nascar?
- 3:37:36Speaker 3: Or you're pretty just built in we're gonna pay you
- 3:37:39Speaker 3: the X, Y and Z a year. Yeah, it's pretty
- 3:37:41Speaker 3: bonuses based on if you win.
- 3:37:42Speaker 8: Yeah, it's it's they're not really a free agency.
- 3:37:46Speaker 2: Now.
- 3:37:46Speaker 8: There's some drivers that will become available where their contract
- 3:37:49Speaker 8: comes up and they probably know they want to move
- 3:37:51Speaker 8: to a different team and they probably or they're getting
- 3:37:54Speaker 8: calls from like there's no tempering rules or anything. So
- 3:37:57Speaker 8: like an owner can call a guy and say, hey,
- 3:37:59Speaker 8: how mean were year you got on your deal? Or
- 3:38:01Speaker 8: would you can you leave your deal? Can I buy
- 3:38:03Speaker 8: it out? Would you want to come to my team?
- 3:38:05Speaker 8: I want you as my driver?
- 3:38:07Speaker 2: What do we got to do?
- 3:38:08Speaker 8: And so you may be able to pay that team
- 3:38:10Speaker 8: money to get him out of his contract early.
- 3:38:15Speaker 2: Does that happen very much?
- 3:38:16Speaker 8: It has happened in the past. It's not a very
- 3:38:18Speaker 8: common thing, but I mean there's no real rules to
- 3:38:21Speaker 8: or we don't have a free agency period or anything
- 3:38:24Speaker 8: like that.
- 3:38:24Speaker 2: Have you ever approached somebody or gotten somebody?
- 3:38:27Speaker 8: I've not, you know, my team my team's kind of
- 3:38:31Speaker 8: like taking these rookies in, these up and comers, and
- 3:38:35Speaker 8: we've got more we got more people. Yeah, we got
- 3:38:38Speaker 8: more people kind of coming to us than we have
- 3:38:39Speaker 8: seats to have very you know the people. But in
- 3:38:42Speaker 8: the top tier cup level, it's probably a lot more
- 3:38:45Speaker 8: cutthroat and a little more competitive.
- 3:38:48Speaker 2: Trying to how many times when you were a driver
- 3:38:51Speaker 2: did you get called from other ownership.
- 3:38:53Speaker 8: Or once in my career, so like I was, my
- 3:38:55Speaker 8: deal at d I at my dad's company was ending,
- 3:38:59Speaker 8: and I had two or three teams come to court
- 3:39:04Speaker 8: me or you know, pitch me of their deal and
- 3:39:07Speaker 8: I and I knew I wasn't gonna stay where I
- 3:39:10Speaker 8: was at. So I was I was all years and
- 3:39:12Speaker 8: went and met with everybody on each team and kind
- 3:39:14Speaker 8: of took the one deal that I liked. But that
- 3:39:16Speaker 8: happened once and I was happy to. I was happy
- 3:39:19Speaker 8: where I ended up and wanted to stay there till
- 3:39:21Speaker 8: I retired.
- 3:39:21Speaker 2: And I was lucky enough to do that. That's awesome.
- 3:39:24Speaker 3: I know we're wrapping up like in football when you're
- 3:39:27Speaker 3: playing or any sport in general, like there's things you
- 3:39:29Speaker 3: hate doing, but then when you leave the sport, and
- 3:39:32Speaker 3: you're like, man, I missed that practice, like with like, yes,
- 3:39:36Speaker 3: did you miss practice?
- 3:39:37Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 3:39:38Speaker 8: I hated practice because practice was a lot of times
- 3:39:42Speaker 8: like testing was. Testing and practice are very similar. In testing,
- 3:39:47Speaker 8: you go to a racetrack in the middle of the week,
- 3:39:50Speaker 8: way before weeks before you're going to race there, and
- 3:39:53Speaker 8: you're by yourself. Usually there might be another team there,
- 3:39:55Speaker 8: but usually you're by yourself and you're out there running alone,
- 3:39:58Speaker 8: and it's you and your team. Go out, run five
- 3:40:00Speaker 8: ten laps, come in, make a change, and it's very
- 3:40:03Speaker 8: monotonous and boring, and you're just running and running and
- 3:40:06Speaker 8: you almost get bored of telling them the feedback Okay, yeah,
- 3:40:09Speaker 8: that made it a little better. I didn't feel anything.
- 3:40:11Speaker 8: We're just doing nothing here. I'm just spinning my wheels.
- 3:40:14Speaker 8: But the team's got a process and they got a
- 3:40:17Speaker 8: plan for those two days you're testing, and they are
- 3:40:19Speaker 8: going to get through that plan and learn everything they
- 3:40:21Speaker 8: want to learn and then go home. You don't realize
- 3:40:23Speaker 8: that as a driver, you're just bored to death running
- 3:40:25Speaker 8: by yourself. When you practice on the race weekends, everyone
- 3:40:28Speaker 8: else is out there, but it's the same thing. You're practicing,
- 3:40:31Speaker 8: changing things your team's learning. It's not a race. There's
- 3:40:33Speaker 8: no check or flag, there's no winter loser. You're just
- 3:40:37Speaker 8: making laps and it's like an hour or whatever.
- 3:40:39Speaker 2: And I hated it.
- 3:40:41Speaker 8: I thought I was boring, and I hated to get
- 3:40:44Speaker 8: ready and go do it, and it was getting in
- 3:40:47Speaker 8: the way of whatever I wanted to do. But I
- 3:40:49Speaker 8: wanted to race race. The race was fun. I was
- 3:40:51Speaker 8: excited about the race, but the practice was just kind
- 3:40:53Speaker 8: of boring. But right in the last year, I was
- 3:40:57Speaker 8: sitting in my car and I think I was at
- 3:40:59Speaker 8: Kansas O Speedway and we're in the middle of practice,
- 3:41:02Speaker 8: and I sat there and it just dawned on me.
- 3:41:04Speaker 8: I was like, one there'll be a day in a
- 3:41:06Speaker 8: very short period of time where we won't I won't
- 3:41:09Speaker 8: ever practice again. And I was like, and I was
- 3:41:12Speaker 8: watching my guys. They were meandering around the car, changing
- 3:41:16Speaker 8: little things, jacking the car up, gonna adjust this, gonna
- 3:41:18Speaker 8: adjust that, and they're just moving around and I got
- 3:41:20Speaker 8: to watching them. I'm in my garage stall. It's every

- 3:41:48Speaker 8: got this doesn't work right, or this doesn't turn good,
- 3:41:50Speaker 8: or it doesn't strike, it doesn't steer right, and they're
- 3:41:53Speaker 8: gonna try to fix it. I'm gonna miss trying to
- 3:41:55Speaker 8: fix that puzzle with them and work on it. And
- 3:42:00Speaker 8: you know, I think I knew I was going to
- 3:42:02Speaker 8: miss driving in the race. I knew I was going
- 3:42:04Speaker 8: to miss the competition, right, But it was the prep
- 3:42:08Speaker 8: work that I thought I hated that I ended up
- 3:42:10Speaker 8: missing as well.
- 3:42:13Speaker 3: Beautifully said, yeah.
- 3:42:15Speaker 2: Yeah, do you ever remember those times, Like I can
- 3:42:17Speaker 2: remember a few situations where you're kind of sitting there
- 3:42:20Speaker 2: and you're kind of taking it in, just being like,
- 3:42:22Speaker 2: as much as this shit sucks, because practice did like
- 3:42:25Speaker 2: training camp, you know, there'd just be them days where
- 3:42:28Speaker 2: you're just in the middle of the season or whatever.
- 3:42:30Speaker 2: But you're just sitting there, taking in the breeze, taking
- 3:42:33Speaker 2: in the scene, the heat. If it's training camp here,
- 3:42:35Speaker 2: it's like one day, we're not even going to be
- 3:42:37Speaker 2: able to do this anymore.
- 3:42:38Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel it was always like during camp, like
- 3:42:42Speaker 3: and you like you were getting those beautiful situations where
- 3:42:44Speaker 3: you got a small group of boys and anyone just
- 3:42:47Speaker 3: fed up and everyone just wants to vent and talk
- 3:42:50Speaker 3: shit about how this is just bullshit. All this were
- 3:42:53Speaker 3: doing sucks, and like you let everybody vent and you're
- 3:42:57Speaker 3: sitting there, whether it's like we're all sitting in the
- 3:42:58Speaker 3: cold tubs after like like a couple guys are cramping
- 3:43:01Speaker 3: in the corner and he's just like this is such
- 3:43:03Speaker 3: a hot day and we got to do it again tomorrow.
- 3:43:04Speaker 3: Everyone's just complaining. But then eventually that conversation will turn
- 3:43:09Speaker 3: to some would bring it up be like it's crazy,
- 3:43:11Speaker 3: this is not gonna last forever, and that's like a
- 3:43:13Speaker 3: moment you have you're like holy shit, like yeah, this

- 3:45:37Speaker 2: But the futures parlay with with fandol and obviously this
- 3:45:40Speaker 2: is uh, this is actually while March Madison is still

- 3:45:54Speaker 8: Saw that something like that?
- 3:45:56Speaker 2: You saw you beat this?
- 3:45:57Speaker 8: No, I saw it on social media.
- 3:45:58Speaker 2: I know what you do.
- 3:46:01Speaker 8: You like it, I know what you're doing. What I did.
- 3:46:05Speaker 8: I got on a parlay that you had during the
- 3:46:07Speaker 8: NFL season and it was a rough one. I don't
- 3:46:09Speaker 8: want to admit what we bet not no amount of money.
- 3:46:13Speaker 8: I had one unit, but like the teams we were
- 3:46:16Speaker 8: betting on, I was it was a yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 3:46:18Speaker 8: now you know what I'm doing.
- 3:46:20Speaker 2: I know, yeah, because we were texting. Yeah.
- 3:46:22Speaker 3: The fall, you'll see more of those parlays as well.
- 3:46:24Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, damn Will And I got to this point
- 3:46:29Speaker 3: late in the season last year. It was like the
- 3:46:31Speaker 3: higher the plus odds, the better the parlay was. Yeah,
- 3:46:35Speaker 3: like your nine legs plus ten thousand.
- 3:46:37Speaker 8: Right, that's ridiculous. But if that's no way to live,
- 3:46:42Speaker 8: you're going to.
- 3:46:43Speaker 3: Be you but an iPad showing your college football twenty
- 3:46:48Speaker 3: five of everything. Yeah, we can put together some spicy
- 3:46:52Speaker 3: parlays like.
- 3:46:52Speaker 8: My, my spicy parlay, and I might get clown for this,
- 3:46:56Speaker 8: but like I'll go in. It was right before March madness,
- 3:47:00Speaker 8: and it's kind. You can do this now with the
- 3:47:01Speaker 8: ones versus the sixteens. But I like stack all the ones,
- 3:47:04Speaker 8: you know, the ones to beat the sixteens. So I'll
- 3:47:07Speaker 8: build like a plus two hundred with like nine nine legs.
- 3:47:13Speaker 2: See, that's a crazy way to live in my opinion,
- 3:47:16Speaker 2: but those are almost automatic. But you're getting you're guarantee
- 3:47:19Speaker 2: guarantee to plus two hundred odds with a nine leg parlay, and.
- 3:47:24Speaker 8: They all should win.
- 3:47:25Speaker 2: I am.
- 3:47:26Speaker 8: I would say in the past month, I am probably
- 3:47:31Speaker 8: eighteen and two with seven or more legs in my
- 3:47:35Speaker 8: parlays in basketball alone.
- 3:47:39Speaker 2: Hey, I was gonna snap, can I'll.
- 3:47:42Speaker 8: Show you the I'll open up, I'll open up my my,
- 3:47:45Speaker 8: where's the path, I'll show it to you.
- 3:47:48Speaker 3: If you if you took half the effort as you
- 3:47:50Speaker 3: do it, that that game as you'd be a billionaire.
- 3:47:53Speaker 8: Yeah, you gotta get careful because I mean you got
- 3:47:56Speaker 8: to do like four hundred four to fifty to five
- 3:47:58Speaker 8: hundred odds on seven or nine parlays to get to
- 3:48:01Speaker 8: like plus one hundred hundred three hundredor something like that.
- 3:48:03Speaker 8: But it's you know, it's gone usually play. Yeah, that's
- 3:48:07Speaker 8: probably not a popular way to do it.
- 3:48:08Speaker 2: Now, you just said eighteen and to the way you
- 3:48:10Speaker 2: did it. I'm trying to criticize, like I'm and eighteen.
- 3:48:14Speaker 8: Well your bet you're a plus ten thousand.
- 3:48:18Speaker 2: O buddy, I won a few games.
- 3:48:20Speaker 8: That's kind of the number.
- 3:48:22Speaker 2: Parlays. I'm like I said, for betting straight up. Yeah, parlays.
