  Speaker 1: all access. You know, you could just go through any gate,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: through any part of the track you wanted to go to.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: And I ran around those tracks like they were a playground.
• 6:12

• 6:14
  Speaker 1: for a while. Let's go down to turn three and

• 6:24
  Speaker 1: we go to Victor Lane.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: So it was pretty awesome and I just always wanted to.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: I wanted to race, but I didn't know how. I
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: didn't know, like there's no like college level, there's no
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: high school racing, you know. And so I'm like, well,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: how the hell do I race? Like I'm thirteen, fourteen
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: years old, I don't know how to start.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: What do I do?
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: And one day me and my brother I was probably
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: fourteen or fifteen, fifteen years old. Me and my brother Carry,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: he's older than me, We're hanging out around this picnic
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: table in my dad's shop. He had a picnic table
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: and where all the gossip went on. And he threw
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: down this newspaper and it was a Charlotte Observer sports
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: page and they had this picture of this guy with
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: this street stock car. And my dad said, you always
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: to read this article. And it was about a news
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: series they were starting at a track and called Concord
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Motor Speedway. It was about thirty minutes up the road.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: All we had to do was go get a streets
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: a car out of the junk yard and put a
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: roll cage in it and we could race. And so
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, well that's the roge. It's I mean,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: all these years I'm thinking like I couldn't crack the code.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: It was this complicated, impossible thing. And Dad just said,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: Dar's answer, do that?
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what, why do you think it was
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: like cracking the code? If you like you said at
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: the son of a legend, And I like, obviously, what
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: do you can say whatever you want about yourself. You're
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: obviously a very humble guy what you've done for the sport.
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: Also thought Earnhardt family is and that's very cool, and
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: you're a very humble guy.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: But like, what did it?
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: Why did it seem so difficult for you to get
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: in it? Knowing that your dad was who he was.
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: You were one of those kids that was like I
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: can get in there because I'm you know.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: My jad, or like why isn't he showing me where
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: some of these races are?
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: He ob something sounds just put the paper down. He's like, yeah,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: let's just do that. Then Dad, Dad would always say
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: I know, he would just say like, I wouldn't talking.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't always like in his uh, I wouldn't always
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: going hey what do I do? How?
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: You know?
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: I was just I wouldn't. I wouldn't with it. Yeah,
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: you know, I was just going to school and trying
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: to get seas and going home and doing whatever my
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: friends are doing. And I loved racing, but I didn't
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: maybe show it as much as he wanted me to.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: And he would always say, you need to show some initiative,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: and he used initial you do of all like that
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: was the word. You need to be determined to show
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: some initiative, showing no initiative and uh like, what.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: Does that mean?
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: When? What about? How do I show you initiative?
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: What does that even mean to you? And he's like,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: uh if when I was your age, I was I
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: was in a shop, sweping the floor. I was cleaning
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: tools up, putting them back in the tool box. Classic.
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: Then I'm like, sucks, that sounds sucky, don't sound fun?
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: How that's a long ways from driving? Driving's up here
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: sweeping the floors like way down question? And I got
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: to go all the way through that product, like what
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: all the things that have to happen before I finally
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: get to drive?
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: You know, it just seemed like it was so far away,
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: and he was less than uh impressed, you know with
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: my initiative and my uh my passion for it. Right,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: I wasn't outwardly expressing that to him, and he didn't
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: I think that I really was even into it. And
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: he's like, I'm not wasting my time unless you start
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: showing me that you're into it. And he made it
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: sound like, well, you got to do all this other
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: stuff before you ever get to drive. And I'm like, wow,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: I go, I'm never gonna get it, never gonna get there.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: Just he just made it seem like it was a
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: hard it was impossible thing.
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: Sounds like a mister Migi type of thing, final complaining
• 10:28

  Speaker 2: there was always that tough love with the with the
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: son and the dad.

  Speaker 1: a c stude. I hate cutting up.
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: But what were you doing at the time, Like, if
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: you were so into racing, will you just kind of
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: hang out with your buddies and doing whatever?
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Me and my buddies walked around the neighborhoods shooting
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: birds would be begun and being it's right, And uh,
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: I played video games and didn't want you know, I
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: did want to go hang out with him. I did
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: want to go to the shop. But when I went
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: to the shop, I hung out with my buddy down
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: the street and we got in trouble. Right, we went
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: to the dairy queen or running. We didn't I didn't
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: mess with cars I wouldn't sweeping the floor cleaning the tools.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: And so now if he wanted me to go to
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: the race, I love that. But when I got there,
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: I'd take off and go hang out my buddy. And
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: when I was gonna go eat some junk food or
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: cheeseburger or you know, and he'd never see me. I
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: was having fun, you know. And he wanted me to
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: be interested in the cars, be interested in learning how
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: to work on them, get get, seize any opportunity I
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: took I could to work on him to learn about them.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: And I was just not doing that. And uh, I
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: was just a decent student in school, really not even decent.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: And uh.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: I wasn't an athlete. I was. I had no achievement none,
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: you know, year on year on year on of just
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: not getting anywhere. And I used to draw a lot,
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: and I used to draw race cars a lot. And
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: I think that he and my stepmom Teresa, thought that, man,
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: maybe he's into being an artist or something. So they
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: so this is kind of they. I came home from
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: school one day and I walked into my bedroom and
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: there was a bunch of art stuff, like papers and
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: pens and all the things. Right, if you were going
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: to go to college, right, they had all the stuff,
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: they bought it, and I'm like, what is this? And
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: they're like, well, we thought you might want to. We
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: think we would encourage you to go to uh this
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: art school. It's a local school, and we think you
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: really enjoy it. You know, we don't know what you're
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: thinking about when you graduate from high school, where you're
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: gonna go what you want to do, but maybe maybe
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: this is it. I'm like, hell, no, I don't want
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: to be an artist. What gave you all that opinion?
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: Like?
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: I want to race? Man? Like, where is what the hell?
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: And uh, anyways, finally, finally, you know, I started to
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: do well and actually, you know, starting to get some
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: races where I ran pretty good. And then Dad came around,
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: you know, and he me and him started having conversations
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: where he was less preachy. Uh, he was less disappointed that, yeah,
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: and it was more like, so what happened in the
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: corner down there and you spun out? Did you realize
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: what you needed to do there? You know, kind of
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: those things where we're starting to tutor and talk and
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: I'm learning and that's very cool. That must have been
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: a really cool, like like for you to see that development.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: For sure.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: I went down to Myrtle Beach and I was racing,
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: and I would I would the same guy for like
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: three weeks in a row. I would get underneath him,
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: and the guy didn't care if he was if he
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: had a car underneath him. He was still coming down
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: to go into the corner to the bottom, and he
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: cuts you off over and over and over. And that
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: was the way race. We didn't even get mad. Hold
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: the rest of the people that race there were like,
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: that's the way ed races. Just be ready. If you're
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: gonna pass him, you better be up to his door
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: beside when you get in the corner or he's coming down.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: And so every time I would get underneath him, he'd
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: come down and I'd spin out, and I'm like, I
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: don't know what to do. I cannot pass this guy.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: And I keep spinning out, and my Dad's like, all right,
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: he's not going to my races. And Dad didn't go
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: to my races, but I would tell him about it,
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: and he's like, next time he comes down, as soon
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: as y'all are about to have contact, slam on the
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: brakes and it plants the nose of your car and
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: keep the wheel straight. Don't turn the wheel and it'll
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: spin him out.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: And damn it.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: I mean literally, I'm in the same situation the next weekend,
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: and I did that thing and it worked the way
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: Dad said it would work. And so, I mean, from
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: that moment on, we started having, you know, the conversations
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: I wanted to have, you know, with him my whole life,
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: instead of just hearing about how much trouble I was in,
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: or how I pissed him off about this or that
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: and the other, how I needed to do this better
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: or be excited.
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: Were you to tell about that situation once he did
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: it pretty excited? Ye man, Yeah, that's pretty cool.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: It was good.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: It was good I had. There was a lot of
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: little moments like that in early in my career when
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: when I wasn't just his son, you know, because when
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: I when Dad, when I when I was around my dad,
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: it was at the shop or at the farm, all
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: that's kind of the same place. And he always had
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: his guys around, his buddies, the employees or whatever, and
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: they were always, you know, five o'clock, everybody met at
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: the picnic table and they drank beer and then they're
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: going to go right around the farm and look at
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: deer and just talk and bs. And I was just
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: always the son, right, I was just always tagging along,
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: and I wasn't in the conversations and I wasn't They
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: weren't asking me any questions what I thought about this
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: or what I thought about that. I was just there
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: keeping mouth shut. I'm talking to about unless somebody talks
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: to you kind of thing. But then it changed when
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: I started racing better.
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: We did you understand that naturally or we were told
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: that at one point that you were like, hey, you're
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: not don't really talk unless it's just.
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: Listen.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: It's kind of it can be like that sometimes, like
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: it's a look your parents or your dad gives you,
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: you know, you know not to just say, you know,
• 21:31

  Speaker 2: be a good racer, Like and once I win, I'll
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: start getting like, you know, maybe the old man will
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: start noticing and we'll start having that relation. Was that
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: something that was kind of like a motivator to earn
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: that or like like finally now I'm gonna get a
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: relationship with my old man because I'm winning that.
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: I started well, I started seeing the racing creating that relationship,
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: and so I wanted to do whatever I could do
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: to get more of that relationship from him, right, And
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: so I started, you know we you know, winning and
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: all those things were not to be so cliche, but
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: I wanted him to be proud and happy. That was
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: way more than important than a trophy or or anyone
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: else patting my back, right, And so he was absolutely
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: the main motivation for me early in my career. You know,
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: when he passed, that was gone. I mean it was gone,
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: and I had to figure out another thing to motivate me, right,
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: I had to find other things that got me out
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: of bed and got me fired up about racing. But
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: for the longest time, it was trying to impress him. Man.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, this guy has done everything. He's won all
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: these championships, and he's hard to impress. Yeah, and you're
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: doing the very thing that he's the best at. You
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: can't do, really, what can you do that he's never
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: seen or thinks it's cool?
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: Right, But everybody thinks like, oh, your down's sign, Like
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: you don't thinks he's awesome. And see.
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so there's a there's a big feeling of like
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: did you feel like you were in his shadow your
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: whole life.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: Mhm, No, I didn't. I I always read about that.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: I always seen that written, you know, and uh, I
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: always I felt I felt like other people saw me
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: in his shadow. But if I was, it was a
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: hell of a place to be. Yeah, it was. Yeah, No, lie,
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: like I understand, and I'm I'm first admit like being
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: his son opened tons of doors wide open and made
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: a lot of challenges for for an average guy trying
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: to get in a sport much easier for me, and
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: already I had like a built in fan base before
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: I ever accomplished anything on the track with my last name. People,
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: they were expectations, but they also would support uh that
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: that I hadn't earned at that point. Yeah, so the benefits, yeah,
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: were way better than what negatives came with it. Yeah, absolutely,
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: I sid know.
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: I mean when you go into i've never this has
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: never been a situation for me, right, My dad didn't
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: play football or anything like that, so I never had
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: to like felt the need to overcome or impress him
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: that way. My dad played college ball for a second.
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: But I mean when you spend your whole life kind
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: of feeling out like how can I get dad to
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: notice how good I'm doing it.
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: These things.
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: I didn't know if once you got into NASCAR, if
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: it was like, I don't know this, this thought of
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: like I want to make did you ever want to
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: up him?
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: Did you ever want to beat him?
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: And that's that shadow is a tough word to use
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: because it sounds like, I don't know if it sounds negative,
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: but I'm saying like, once you're in that thing with him,
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: there there was no like that's dad, Dad's gotta went
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: like you wanted to beat your dad.
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: We went to Japan. I had raced in the the
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: Exfinity Series, which is kind of like college level or
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: it's it's like Triple A and the next Steps to
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: Cup series, where Dad's at. I won the championship, and
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: so I got an invitation to race in an exhibition
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: in Japan with Cup racers and Dad, and it would
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: be the first time I'd ever be on the track
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: with him. And when I got to Japan, we flew
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: all the way over there and I'm sitting on Pitt
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: Road and I'm waiting on Dad because I want to
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: follow him out on the track because I'd never seen him.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: From that vantage point, it was like following. I mean,
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: I don't I don't like to compare him to other
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: other icons because I don't know how people feel about it.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: But it's like walking behind Muhammad Ali as he goes
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: to the ring right climbs in. You know, that's a
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: hell of advantage point that a lot of people would
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: love to have being in a in the ring when
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: Rick Flair climbed into it, right, being able to see
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: that moment when he climbs in with that robe on
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: at you know, at a big event across some dusty roads, right,
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: I mean, just that moment of that energy. So I
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: know it was just practice, but I'm I'm never seen
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: the Black three car. I've never seen the Intimiday or
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: Dylan her I've never looked at my windshield and seen
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: it right raced against all these other guys. And so
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: I remember that he pulls out on the track and
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: I followed him out there, and I mean, I'm doing nothing.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: I'm like, not in game mode. I'm not in focus
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: of what my car is doing. I'm just like, I
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: can't believe that it's him.
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: I'm kind of smiling.
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: I couldn't believe he was in there steering that car.
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: I couldn't believe it. And then two days later, like
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: we practiced qualify. Two days later, in the race, we're running,
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: We're bad indoors and I'm pissing him off and he's mad.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: So a little extra froom too when he got to him.
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: So this is how it kind of worked out. We
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: I ran really good and he he ran like sixth
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: to eighth the whole day. It's an exhibition, and he's
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: just kind of going through the motions. He didn't have
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: a great car and he knew it, and he's just
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: kind of like, Hey, we're here to put on a show,
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: and it is what it is, right. I'm like, hell no, man,
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: I'm here to win. Willed this car to victory, right,
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: and this is my chance, and so I'm raising my
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: guts out way over my head. But I got up
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: toward the front and got up the second at one
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: point and I bounced off the wall being too crazy.
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: And anyways, late in the race, we're both running around
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: fifth and sixth and we had a caution and I
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: had a chance. Everybody has a chance to come on.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: Put a set of tires and it's a little bit
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: faster with new tires, and I said to my crea chief,
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: Tony Junior, my cousin. He's my cousin too, about a
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: year apart, really close, and uh I said, hey, man,
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: I wanna cous come get tires and see what happens.
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: We ain't gonna we're gonna win like this. Let's put
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: some tires on and see what happens. So he's like,
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: all right, we ain't got no tires, but your dad's
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: got to sit in his pit. I'll see if I
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: can get them. So our pits are side by side, Yeah,
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: side by side. It wouldn't be an issue if he
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: gave it to you or not. Our pits are together, right.
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: We have teammates, right, we got the same sponsor. It's
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: this coke we had this Coca cola reduction thing. We
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: went to the we did the photo shoots together. We're
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: like this team, right, And so Tony Junior's on the
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: pit box and he's like, hey to Richard Childers, whose
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: dad's carling, And he's like, y'all gonna have pit and
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: get them tires. Richard's like, we ain't coming. Then, ain't coming.
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: He's just gonna finish this out. Yeah, Well we're gonna pit.
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: You might if we have those tires, take them, no problem. Okay,
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: here we come, try on down pit road, put them on.
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: Dad don't know what all this is going on, and
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: I don't even know where the tires come from. I
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: just come down pit road and get tires.
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: And so.
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: I go back on the track and I lined up
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: like tenth and there's a real short five lap sprint
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: to the end, and it's you gotta go. It's you
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: can't lift, you can't take, you can't check up for something. Uh,
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: you gotta go? What does check up?
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: Men?
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: You can't lift.
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: If it's something happening in front of you, and you
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: check up off the gas or lift off the throttle,
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: you it'll take you another lap to build up your momentum.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: And it's a lap that's gone. And if with five
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: of that, with five laps to go, you just don't
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: have time to be waiting on things to happen in
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: front of you. You just try to make gup. Just
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: go for it, right. So the so the green flag
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: drops and I gotta I got things happening. I'm passing
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: a couple of cars and I get to Dad really quickly.
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: I get up beside him, down the back straight away
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: and we go into turn three and four and I'm
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: going by him. I have the faster car, the new tires.
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: He saw me coming, he knows I'm quicker. And we're
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: coming up off a turn four and he's he's hanging
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: on my right rear qorder panel as we're coming off
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: the corner. And traditionally, in a situation like that, you
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: want the guy. You want the guy that's in Dad's
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: position to just let you go. You're faster, you're coming through.
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: But if he stays there, I can't really finish the corner.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: I can't get all the gas down. It's gonna slow
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: me down. On the straightaway, we're gonna run down the
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: next straightaway side beside when I could be trying to
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: pass the next car. It was gonna hold me up.
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: And and so I.
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: Squeezed him into the wall and and we hit, and
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: his nose slid up under my bumper, and now he
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: has me in a bad position and he knows it.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: And so he's picked my rear tires off the ground
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: and he's steering my car like a forklift down the straightaway.
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: He could have just let you go. He should have
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: let me go. Should have or could have. He could have,
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: but he but he didn't. He's like he's like, he's like,
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: I'm like, dude, you only You're like you only got
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: an inch on me, and you could just let me
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: go and I could be on my way. And we
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: bang and then he's got me lifted up off the
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: ground and he's turned me sideways down the straight ofa way.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: My car's doing this to the flagstand and he lifted
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: and let me go. He was mad, right, and so
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: but I thought it was over.
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: I go on.
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: I passed another car to and finished like fifth or something,
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: and uh, he's eight these a couple of spots back.
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: So the race is over. And I'm like, that was badass.
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: And I beat my dad, you know what I mean?
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: And he knows I beam.
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: I was.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: This ship just happened, right, And so it was really cold.
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: But I remember they had, uh it was in the
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: middle of the winter. They had they had inside the
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: track these little rented cubicles like trailers like you see
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: on job sites, and each driver our team had one
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: and me and Dad were sharing one. I go into
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: the one that we have. It's cold as hell outside.
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: I go in there and I'm gonna change clothes. And
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: I sit down and I'm changing clothes and there's this
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: big fold folding leg table in front of me, and
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: I'm sitting there and I'm pulling off my shoes and
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: my taking my taking my uniform down. And Dad comes
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: in and sits down, and I just look at him,
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: and he isn't making eye contact with me, and I
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: know he's not. He's bad. I look at him and
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: he's bending over and pulling his shoe off, and I
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: go and so as soon as I look down, he
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: threw his shoe as hard as he could and it
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: went right over my head as I lean been down
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: to get get one of my shoes off. If I
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: hadn't a bent down, it'll hit me. It hit the
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: ball behind me. It was like pow. And I looked
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: back up and he was bending down to get the
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: other shoe, and somebody opens the door and says, hey, Junior,
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: they need it, they need you out here for an interview.
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: And I'm like thanks, I'm going.
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: He's the front door. Back from childhood. I'm looking.
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: We we never talked about it, and you about it
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: really never talked sounds like your father really didn't say
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: a whole lot intimidator.
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: This like was like a cave man. Yes, sir, absolutely
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: need a by light.
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: We interrupt this episode for another average from our boys
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: at Roman Get Roman. Most guys have different ways to
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: last longer, but thinking about baseball or your grandma or
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: your grandpa, it doesn't always work. The folks at Roman,
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: on online men's health company, are changing the game with
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: Roman Swipes. The secret to longer or the secret to
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: longer lasting sex saying the pledge of allegiance in your
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: head or counting backwards from ten. No need to do
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: that anymore. Now we have swipes to make us last longer.
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: Roman Swipes are a clinically proven away to last longer
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: in bed. They're effective, easy to use, and fast acting,
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: but don't require any prescription. Roman can ship swipes to
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: you in discrete, unmarked packaging, and each swipes packet is
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: small enough to wait, how do I say, ELM mark packaging,
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: and each swipes it's small enough to hide in your
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: wallet for whatever, for whenever you need it. And this
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: is true when Roman was sponsoring the boys, they obviously
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: shipped us some product. They did so my in laws
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: were in town. They didn't even notice it on the
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: table because it's in some nice black packaging where you
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: don't even know who it's from. Go to get Roman
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: dot com slash busting to get your first month of
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: swipes for just five dollars when you choose a monthly plan.

• 38:17
  Speaker 1: conscious of the chaos, I was about to go down,
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: and so all right, first lap, we're going down into
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: turn green flag comes out. We're running about three or
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: four corners and we go into turn one and Dad
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: runs in the back of Elliott Saler. Elliott Saler gets
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: loose and like sideways over corrects up the racetrack right

  Speaker 1: And so, but we had we had other moments kind
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: of like that. But I mean, you know when the
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: funny thing about it being in a race car is that,
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: you know, the the race car turns into for lack
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: of a better word, a bit of a weapon. Sometimes
• 39:51

• 39:54
  Speaker 1: this car and run into your car. That's sounds I'm
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: gonna do that. You know, before you you have such
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: a thought to you know, before you have a moment
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: to think twice about it and calm the hell down.

  Speaker 1: Sometimes you do that on the race track, and even
• 40:07

  Speaker 1: Lucas's Ranch Star Wars Skywalker runt. You're gonna go over
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: to the ranch and watch it. And we're like, damn,
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: I'm all right, so that's cool. What does that mean?
• 41:58
  Speaker 3: So we drive in and it's beautiful, and it's just
• 42:02
  Speaker 3: all the guys are going there, my team, Yeah, because
• 42:05
  Speaker 3: you were were you in the movie?
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: You?
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: I had a little tiny thing, Yeah, a little for
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: an autograph?
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: Right? How was that?
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: How many times five? Really?
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: It wasn't that mean professional? Yeah? I like that that
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: or we just weren't gonna get any better. Yeah, we're
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: getting progressively worse for these take Okay, let's just shut
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: it down. So you know, we're driving into this place
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: and and and they're like, yeah, he makes it. They
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: they make movies here. There's a bunch of movies. So
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: we're walking in the building and there's all these movie theaters,
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: and there's all these little rooms of for editing, and
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: and they they basically sit there and watch the They
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: work on these films from the point of view of
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: the of the movie goer, right, and so they're editing
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: and creating these films in that atmosphere of a movie theater.
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: And uh, which was really cool, was a big complex
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: you you would would you might imagine they're sitting in
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: front of a computer in an office right editing this film,
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: but at some point they actually get into a movie
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: theater and complete the editing process or whatever and do
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: all the audio and all that. So anyways, it's really neat.
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: And we sit down in this one theater and there's
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: probably about thirty seats in it, and probably about ten
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: rows of seats, and uh, maybe there's more more than
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: thirty seats, but it just was a small, miniature sort
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: of sized theater room. And we sit down and I
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: choose a seat sort of in the middle. There's on
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: the front, the front of the theater guy, you're back
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: of the theater guy. Middle. Oh, if up, there's better, back,
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: there's better. I'm just gonna be right in the center.
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: And there's only about twelve of us. We're not we're
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: only about ten percent of the seats in this thing, right,
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: so a lot of empty seats and right and right,
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: and we're sitting there waiting, you know, and right before
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: the thing comes on, George Lucas comes and sits.
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: Down behind me and all right on being chill Yeah.
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: I was one shock to see him, right, and and
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: had never thought I'd ever meet the guy. But what
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: is he doing watching Telene Nights right?
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: Exactly? Why does he care to watch this movie?
• 44:15
  Speaker 3: There's millions of movies can be like, yeah, but uh,
• 44:18
  Speaker 3: and I'm watching I'm kind of sad and I'm like,
• 44:21

  Speaker 1: know him. Yeah he is, well, I know, yeah, absolutely.
• 45:28
  Speaker 3: Being a filmmaker's got to be one of the most
• 45:30
  Speaker 3: difficult jobs to do because you're literally praying that people
• 45:33
  Speaker 3: like it. And if it's like your hopes and dreams
• 45:35
  Speaker 3: are on other people's opinions, God, that's got to be
• 45:38
  Speaker 3: a tough li And when.
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: You're like making a certain decision that you might think
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: is cool for seeing, you might have just one opinion
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: next to you, like say, say I'm making something I'll
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: make I think it's dope, and I'm like, hey, what
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: are you thinking that. You're like, yeah, but maybe this
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: and your one opinions like, oh man, maybe maybe everyone
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: feels that way. Yeah, And then you changed. You're like, well,
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: I was gonna do this. Everybody's like, oh, you should
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: have kept it that way.
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: You're like, fuck, you are you quitting Tarantina fan? Yeah, yeah,
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: well he just did it.
• 46:00

• 46:12
  Speaker 3: is happening, and a couple guys were like, hey, listen,
• 46:15
  Speaker 3: if you put this scene in the movie, you put
• 46:18
  Speaker 3: your margin for the people that are going to come
• 46:19
  Speaker 3: watch it, because it was like after.
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: Like the eighties or not like some decade like the eighties.
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: It's always a superhero.
• 46:25

• 46:38
  Speaker 2: He makes a lot of good What story were we
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: headed to before the Kyle Busch Kyle the rivalry you
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: were trying to kill him?
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: Told story? This is told a lot. I tell this
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: one a lot, but you oh you do you know?
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: I want to know I learned that you got a
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: new audience every time you're in front of the mic.
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: So yeah, it's never the same.
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: So have you ever told your side of the story
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: about why you hate him, why you hated him? Yeah?
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: So, I don't know, maybe we'll tell a little different this.
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: Do we still hate him now?
• 47:06
  Speaker 3: No?
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: Oh, you don't hate him? No, he's great?
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: All right?
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: Oh well the story? Why did you guys go to dinner?
• 47:12
  Speaker 3: No?
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: Okay? Is he ain't great? Well, he's fine. That's better.
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: There you go. Now we're getting somewhere. And now we're
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: getting somewhere. Yeah.
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: So anyways, he's we're racing against each other. He racist
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: for Rick Hendrick, and I raced for for Dad. And
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: he was a rookie and he did something at a
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: racetrack and and uh, I said to the media that
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: Kyle made a mistake and he'll figure it out. And
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: he took offense to that. He's a rookie.
• 47:39
  Speaker 3: How how you've been in the game for eight years now,
• 47:41
  Speaker 3: maybe not that long way, this is before that, okay,
• 47:44
  Speaker 3: but I've been in doing it for six years maybe okay.
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: And uh, but anyways, someone asked me a question. I
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: just said, you know, he made a mistake and and
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: he'll figure that out. What was what was the mistakes?
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: Like he calls the crash or something or or a
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: couple of guys ended up crashing because of something he did.
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: I can't read. Yeah, I don't even remember. It's not
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: a big deal. And we went to uh that set
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: our that set us on that path, all right. He
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: took offense to that, and we weren't We weren't friendly
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: from that point on, but we didn't say anything about
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: each other. He wasn't dig he wasn't digging me in
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: the media or nothing.
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: And so.
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: There was a race at Texas. His car crashed and
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: there was a miscommunication between him and his team. He
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: left the track and the car got repaired and they
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: didn't have where's he at? They need to put him
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: back in it to go finish a few laps. And
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: they saw me in the garage and said, hey, are
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: you get in this car? We got like eight laps
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: to go. We just need you to go out there
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: and run the rest of this race. And I'm like, absolutely,
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: I'm diving in this thing head first because I wanted
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: to feel what kind of engine they build. It's like, man,
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: you never get a chance to drive another team's car
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: to feel the things about what kind of car did
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: he drive? He drove Rick Hendrick's car. And they build
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: their own motors and we build our motors, and I
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: just you know, they're very good. They win a lot,
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, yeah, damn right, I'll drive it. And
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: so I I drove it a few laps and when
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: it was done, they were like, hey, man, appreciate doing
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: this solid and we'll see you.
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: And that was it.
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: Nothing, There was nothing. I didn't. It wasn't. It wasn't
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: in spite, it wasn't a spike Kyle. But he was
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: mad again, Right, I drove his car. Right, It's like
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: I took his took his girlfriend out, and you know,
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: I mean.
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: And so.
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: That's a reference. Yea day had a seafood dinner, never
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: called her back. It was he he I'm an old
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: school guy where relief driving is a cool thing and
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: and it happened all the time in the seventies and
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: I'm totally a throwback and nostalgic. And that's freaking yes.
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: I've never been asked to relief drive for somebody, Right,
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: I'll do it, and uh, and he wouldn't. He ain't
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: from that school, and so he was like, nobody drives
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: my car but meat, right, And so anyways, him and is,
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: Him and Rick are having some difficulties on his contracts
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: and whether he wants whether he's going to continue to
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: drive there or not, and they decide that that's not happening.
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: So they've made a choice, and now Rick's going out
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: to find a driver and he offered me a deal
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: and I took it, and so Kyle viewed that as
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: me taking his job. And Kyle then was now cast
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: into free agency and had to take whatever the best officer,
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: so he didn't have a car yet.
• 50:35
  Speaker 3: They decided not to do a contract, went to you
• 50:38
  Speaker 3: got the contract, and he's in free agency and.
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: He gets hired by Joe Gibbs. This works out tremendously
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: for him in the short run and the long run,
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: but he was upset at the time and was like
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: feeling rejected by Rick Hendrick. Rick's this ultra freaking respected
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: guy in the sport, and if you get rejected by him,
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: there must be something wrong with you, right, And he
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: read that. And so when we started racing the next year,
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: and I'm in his car and he's in the Joe
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: Gibbs car. It was me against him. That's the way
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: he saw it, and that's the way I kind of
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: saw it. We're racing at Richmond, We're running first and
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: second in the points. The whole year pretty much, great storyline.
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: He's winning quite a he's winning a hell of a
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: lot of races too. Things are going well for him.
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: I only won at Michigan. I had a great year,
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: but I only won the one race. I'm leading at
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: Richmond and it's like four or five laps to go
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: and I'm running the top of the race track. I
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: run the high side. Kyle's right behind me, and I'm
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: gonna give him the bottom of the track. He's got
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: more than enough room. And we go down into turn
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: three and he gets loose and collects me. I reckon
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: the wall. He goes up the track and he loses
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: the lead. Another guy ends up winning the race. And
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: in my mind, I'm like, I understand he got loose.
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: It wasn't like he just went in there and turned
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: right and hit me. Loose means like when he turned
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: down in the corner, his rear tire started sliding like
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: if he was in water or ice. It was not
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: it was an accident, right. It was like he went in,
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: he went in the corner hoping that his car was
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: gonna stick and he was gonna pass me. Yeah, right,
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: But his car didn't stick, and it's the back slid
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: and he had to turn right to correct it, which
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: drove him up the track into my door, and it
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: turned me around when we hit. But it also cost
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: him the race too.
• 52:31
  Speaker 3: And so.
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: He's a good enough race car driver to know how
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: to intentionally if he was trying to intentionally crash me,
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: he's good enough to just go in there and move
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: me out of the way and go on and win.
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: So I know that it just, you know, I know,
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: just watching him by how all that went down, that
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: he didn't really intend for that to happen. But he
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: was absolutely unapologetic, and of course, I mean, he wasn't
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: gonna say, well, I'm sorry, that was wrong. I shouldn't
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: have done that was bad for me, and and and
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: and I don't ever want to He just let it.
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: He didn't even say anything right and kind of played
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: it up a little bit. And now I got it.
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: I got the media coming to me, going game. He
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: usually got wrecked by that guy. He's he's your archrival.
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: He's your enemy. You and him.
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: The media is in love with this. Media loves it.
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: Every week, right, They're going to him. Hey, Neil said this,
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: what do you think? Well, help with him? Now, Hey,
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: Kyle just said ten minutes to go to hell with you?
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: What do you think? And they just going at us
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: every week, right, And we have these obligations to the media.
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: We had to be obligation. You had to be there.
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: And so they knew they were going to get a
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: sound bite. And Kyle was not great at biting his tongue.
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: And so if he says something, now I gotta say something.
• 53:45
  Speaker 3: Is there Is there a fine system put in place
• 53:46
  Speaker 3: with NASCAR, Like you see you can say whatever you want.
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Like Ricky, listen that that's little of this whole podcast.
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: We're really hanging out on this. We go back to
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: Richmond later in the year and the back end of
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: the summer, and uh, the it's early, it's midway through
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: the race, it's not near the end. It's not in
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: the same scenario. But Kyle's leading and I'm running second,
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: and I went into turn one and tried my hardest
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: to put him in the wall, and uh, he's I
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: ran into the back of him and he slid up
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: the track and backed into the fence and spun down
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: the track. He ended up being able to finish the race,
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: But that was maybe the one I can I can
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: say I probably intentionally wrecked somebody. Let's I can't count
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: him on two hands. I may be counted on one hand,
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: right in twenty years of racing, and that was that
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: was one of them. And I was I was in
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: the situation that race. No, I don't know, I don't
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: think so, but yeah, probably not buddies back there. But
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: I'll be honest, man, I was in a situation where like,
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: if I didn't wreck team, I felt like everybody was
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: gonna go ooh, you're solved. If you don't, you know,
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: here you are, here's your here's your opportunity. Man, y'all

  Speaker 1: close to the racetrack. He didn't like where I was
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: at and it was appeeding, and it was bothering him
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: and his focus and his really the racetrack. I moved
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: here in the no I slowed down and got on
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: the apron to come into the pits. And he's coming
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: by me on the racetrack and uh, and he you
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: didn't like something about what I did? You flip me
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: the bird in the car out window through the net? Yeah,
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: he sticks it out in front of the net like this.
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: He's like, hey, did he get the full handout? Are
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: they enough to put your hand out? Or you saw
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: enough of a knuckle to know that's knew what it was,
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: all right? And I pulled into the garage and I
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: just it just sent me over the edge. So yeah,
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: practice in so calm, like you think, there's nothing, nothing's
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: going to bother this guy. Pull out. He's out of here,
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: you know. So the practice ends and I debrief with
• 59:45
  Speaker 1: my team and and I'm I'm frustrated with my car
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: has just been in a bad season. And then that
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: happened and I went, I'm gonna go to my holler,
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: and I see his holler and I'm like, I'm going
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: in there, oh ship, And if he's in there, I
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: will confront him about it, and I walked up. I
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: walked up into his haller, which is an eighteen wheeler trailer,
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: and you walk to the very front of the trailer
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: and there's a lounge and in the lounge is Kyle
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: and it's crew chief, and I know it's crew chief
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: to be one. And I said, Kyle, if you ever
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: flip me off again, I'm gonna rip your head off
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: and I'm gonna kill you. I'm gonna beat the hell
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: out of you. And I just said everything I could
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: just say moment and he's sitting there going you told
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: me you were to kill him. Yeah, we had to
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: talk about.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 2: That the other way. We really did, because you know,
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 2: what's his name, I'm gonna kill you, Taylor says.
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 3: He gets I just don't think that's that big of
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 3: a deal because it's like, I don't know, it could happen,
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 3: but you're not gonna kill knock him out, hopefully.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 2: I don't the car being a weapon at some point.
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: Because questions, emotions get the best of you do. So
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: you tell this guy everything I wanted to tell him,
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: and I I'd never ever do that, right, That's that
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: a character for me, But it was to a point
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: to where I was done. I needed to tell this
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: guy to knock it off right. The words in the media,
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: the bird, the this, the disrespect is just got to
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: come to an end. You're gonna respect me, and you're
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: not gonna you're not gonna look at me the way
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: you're looking at me and perceive me the way you
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: perceive me. You're gonna you're gonna respect me when we're
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: here together to racetrack. And so I said what I
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: had to say, and I turned around and walked out.
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: He didn't say a word. God, that must have change
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: your ass a little bit that he didn't say nothing.
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: But I didn't want him to respond to me.
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 2: You just said it and turn around and you walked out.
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: I didn't want him to respond to me. And his
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: his crew chief didn't didn't move, and like it. It
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 1: was what I wanted it to be. Yeah, you know,
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: I feel like that if I didn't want anything to
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: happen to where it would have gotten physical, it probably
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: would have easily gotten that way. It's good that nothing
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: happened to where it became physical. It's kind of dude.
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: He's tall. He's tall, but he's not now, Okay, I
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: mean yeah, you're okay. He's taller. He's taller than me
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: five ten and a half.
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 2: That I love that half.
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: Sad half.
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 3: You get the detailed question. Looking back on it, he
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 3: stood up and said, all right, I'll kill you right now.
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 3: He had to have found out who was gonna be
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 3: like that, So you think you could have taken him?
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 2: I don't know, is are you back there?
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: Story where you got in his car? Yeah, he's pretty skinny. Yeah,
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: I don't I'm not. I don't have enough. We'll I
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: don't know what my ability is. Yeah, that's understandable.
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 3: I mean, no one can really fight unless you're a fighter, right,
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 3: Like all of us can sit here and talk about
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 3: what every At the end of the day we fight for.
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: There's buttons all over this chick.
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 2: I might be hard for twenty seconds. We're all we're
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 2: both tired.
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: We're like, all right, hey, guys, get twenty get the
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: hell out of here. But you used to think I
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: can fight. We all did, yeah with one right, Yeah,
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: at at one.
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 2: Point we all think we still do. Come on, we're
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 2: on cameras. I don't know.
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 3: Once I started getting kids, I was like, I don't
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 3: know who am I fighting dude, Yeah, only my daughter's
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 3: assumed me fighting somebody, you know, practice, no problem.
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: It felt good though. I was glad to do it,
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: and it got it. I think it changed our relationship. So,
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: you know, years later he's he texted me one day
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: and he's like, Hey, We're at a race track somewhere.
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 1: He's like, Hey, I want to talk to you about
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: some race. He owns the team and I owned the team.
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: He's like, I want to compare some things that y'all
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: are doing with what I'm doing on my business. How
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: far after probably four years after the Richmond incident, okay,
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: four or five years.
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 3: Four or five years, so you guys lines of communication
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 3: after that, and the media kind of stopped. You guys
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 3: obviously didn't talk. So he just had you guys are both.
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 2: Kind of transitioning in the business world, and you guys
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 2: are kind of like, you know, respected at this point.
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: And then we started communicating and then I had him
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: on my podcast and we talked about Richmond. Oh, we
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: never talked about it, and I said, hey, come on
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: my podcast and let's talk about Richmond, and let's talk
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: about that day, what you went through, what I thought,
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: what you thought, what what I know, let's be honest
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: and be clear and everything beyond that, all the dirt
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: we threw on each other in the media. Yeah, and
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: and we talked it out and he told me, and
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: you know, you can get him in here and talk
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: about that. But he was like, man, when I came
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: into the sport and y'all were we were Dee I
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 1: Dylnhart incorporated the team I was driving for at the time,
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: we were courting him and Rick Hendrick was courting and
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: he ended up going with Rick, right, so we were.
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: I would see him in the garage when he was
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: like eighteen and go, hey, man, you coming to drive
• 1:04:52

• 1:04:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 3: And he's like, I don't know, we'll find out. And
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 3: so he was playing dumb. Yeah, He's like, do you
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 3: he has have agents in the game or you guys?
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 3: Kind of I think it's probably his parents more than anything, right,
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 3: I imagine.
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I doubt he had an agent, but
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: he's like, man, back then, I wanted to be your
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: friend like you were. You were the bud guy, you
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: were the you were the fun guy. He was like,
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: I wanted to be in your group. And I'm like, damn,
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: I didn't know that. He's like, yeah, I hated how
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 1: things got took off with us and how we went
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: down this other path. He's like, because when when I
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: was coming into sport, I was thinking, Man, it's gonna
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: be cool if I can hang out and drink beer
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 1: with me. I was the beer guy.
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we're having beers.
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 1: Now, how cool is that having beers?
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 3: How cool is it like to have somebody when you're
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 3: in the game long enough look up to you. What
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 3: we talk about that sometimes it's like when you play
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 3: something long enough, you have kids that are growing up
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 3: and going into your world that are fans of you, Like, hey,
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 3: you're selling some You're just like, yeah, listen, I'm just
• 1:06:00

• 1:06:01
  Speaker 3: that was That's a cool feeling for us.
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: It's pretty cool. Now, Yeah, you know, I don't. I
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 1: don't not the It wasn't that cool to hear that
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: from my peers, if any of those were to ever
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 1: say that. But now that I'm done and I'm and
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: these like twenty year olds, they are coming into sport,
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: and I guess because I'm forty six and I feel
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 1: like I'm getting old as hell that they even knew
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: who I was. They're like, man, I used to be
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: a big hell junior fan when I was five. I'm like,
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: well that that makes me feel old. But it's nice
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: to know that, you know, I'm not aged out like
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 1: these kids that are coming into the sport don't know.
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 3: Who the hell I am, right right, Yeah, it's super cool. Yeah,
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 3: So we go back to the beginning of the podcast, legend,
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 3: just let your.
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 2: You're returning, They'll be I see you're you're returning back
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 2: to the racetrack.
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 1: Well, I do run one a year. I run one
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 1: race a year to scratch the itch and to smell
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 1: the smells and hear the sounds. So when I'm I'm
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: a broadcast for NBC and I when you're up there
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 1: in the booth, all right, if you're a player and
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: you go into the broadcast booth, it's you can tell
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 1: the broadcast and the viewer everything that the player's thinking, right,
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 1: because you played it. You just played there. You were
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: just down there right. Well, the second the second year,
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: the third year, the fourth year, the fifth year, that
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 1: gets harder because you forget Zach, you get your turning
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: it into more of the broadcast you got, you have
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 1: the player anymore, right, and you're further from that. And man,
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I know exactly what that guy
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: is thinking right now. I forget that energy, I forget
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: that sensation or that emotion. I forget that pressure. I
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 1: forget that nervousness, that fear, of that anxiety, all those things,
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: right that you have in those moments, right, And so
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 1: I get in the car once a year and run
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 1: one race to be reminded of all those things. So
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 1: when I'm in the booth, it's right there. When I
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 1: need to pull that file, it's right there, right when
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 1: I need to draw on that moment and go I was,
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 1: I know what that's like. I know exactly what he's thinking.
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 1: It's all fresh. Well, what if you win, then that's badass?
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, But if you win, are you gonna sit there
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 2: like you No, Let's get another run at this thing.
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 1: H No, I'm done, man, I you know I ran.
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: I raced for twenty years. I had some head injury stuff,
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 1: some concussion stuff, and I felt like that I was
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: going to the well too many times I felt like
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 1: that I was taking some risks unnecessarily. So I'm getting
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 1: ready to get married. And at the end of twenty sixteen,
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 1: we have our first little girl. Shortly after that, and
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 1: this is like I got his whole new life, you know,
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 1: and maybe racing ain't important anymore, and maybe you know,
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 1: when I got hurt in twenty sixteen, I had I mean,
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 1: I had like I had recognizable symptoms, you know. Just
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 1: it wasn't when most people get a concussion. You guys
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 1: know this, right, So when guys get concussions, there's they're
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 1: self diagnosed. Right, you don't. I don't see it. I
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 1: don't see your concussion.
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 1: I had like these visual cues that you could see.
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: I had balance issues and visual I had I had
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 1: uh issues speaking and thinking of pulling words out, you know,
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: just trying to form the normal sentences and not being
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 1: able to think of a simple word that I use
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 1: every day.
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 1: I had these issues that were frightening, man, frightening and uh.
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: And I thought to myself, like I don't want to
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 1: ever put myself back there again. Uh, And going to
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 1: the racetrack and running every single week, You're gonna crash
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 1: you cannot run a whole year and never hit anything.
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 1: You're gonna hit stuff. And and if I'm just hitting
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 1: stuff all the time, I'm never giving myself any chance
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 1: to get beyond this and get past this and get
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 1: away from it. Right, And so yeah, going back and
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 1: running that one race is a risky decision. I'm particular
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 1: about where that race is at as far as the
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 1: track and what's the potential of a hard wreck there,
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 1: you know, And it needs to be a track I'm
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 1: comfortable with. Yeah, And so you know, I and I
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 1: don't go out there and race over my head like
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 1: I would if I was twenty five or twenty eight,
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 1: like with Reckless abandon Right, I go out there and
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 1: measure the risks and I have a great time. I
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 1: get to experience it, and for the time being, it
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 1: checks all the boxes.
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 3: Have you done like anything post racing that is like
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 3: beneficial for brand stuff? Have you gone and looked at
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 3: anything like IV therapy is different stuff like that?
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 1: No, So I haven't. And the only reason I think
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 1: is because I haven't had anything that's triggered me to
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 1: have concern. And so, you know, when I had the
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 1: problems that I was having in twenty sixteen, I'd already
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 1: been to Pittsburgh to see Mickey Collins, who's a guy
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 1: that works with a lot of the Steelers. Yeah, he's
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 1: the Steelers guy, Penguin's guy, but he also worked with
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 1: other racers. He's worked with a lot of people that
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 1: I know, but he's worked. He's worked with tons of
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 1: football guys. Yeah, I've worked ye. So you know, he
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 1: helped me in twenty twelve get through us I say,
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 1: small concussion, but he helped me get through an issue
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 1: that didn't last long and went away in a relatively
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 1: short period of time. And so he with that experience,
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 1: you know, I thought, you know, oh man, I got
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 1: this under control. Well, I got in trouble and put
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 1: myself in a bad situation in twenty sixteen, with a
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 1: lot of crashes and a lot lot getting sick. After
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 1: a lot of crashes, I'd be well in about three
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 1: or four days and think, well, you know, I'm healed,
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 1: you know, but I kept had hit the wall three
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: weeks later, and then three weeks after that, I'd hit something,
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 1: and I kept layering all these concussions together, and one
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 1: day I started getting worse and worse and worse and
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 1: didn't know what it was and why it was happening,
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 1: and I was just going down. Yeah, I didn't wrecked.
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 1: I was racing. I hadn't wrecked in weeks, and so
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 1: I didn't. I was like, what's happening in my what?
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 1: What's happening to me? I didn't wreck What is this?
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 1: So finally I figured out that I needed to go
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 1: see him, and he uh, we spent eight months fixing it.
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 2: Wow, yeah, it was you do anything that I was like,
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 2: out of the norm of what the usual.
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, everybody's experience seems to be different, and
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 1: whether you My treatment in twenty twelve was much different
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 1: than in twenty sixteen because the the understanding of how
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 1: to treat a concussion had changed. So when twenty twelve happened,
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 1: they were like no TV, no cell phones, dark rooms, sleep, silence, quiet, nothing.
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 1: And in twenty sixteen, when I was like, man, I
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 1: do not want to go through that, no rooms in
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 1: dark rooms, no cell phones, no TV. I don't want
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 1: to do that, right, that is awful, And so I
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 1: was dreading it. And when I got diagnosed, He's like, Okay,
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 1: here's here's what you do. What triggers your your symptoms,
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, well, going to the busy places, the
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 1: grocery store, or I'd say, you know, if I went
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 1: to a concert anywhere where there's there's where there's complex environments,
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 1: it freaks me out. And he's like, go do those
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh, okay, and uh so yeah. So
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 1: so they pulled me out of the race car and
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 1: now I'm in a concert and my team, my p people,
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 1: my crew, my brand team, and my race team. They're like,
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 1: you know, you can't drive a race car, but you're
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 1: you're off at a concert.
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah you have.
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 1: You're trying to get over a concussion. What are you doing?
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 2: You know?
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 1: And so I would take all the people that I
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 1: could take to see Mickey when I would go visit him,
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 1: so he could explain to them like, hey, this is
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 1: what we're doing, and he's in big trouble and so
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 1: you know, and it was helpful, but uh, it took
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 1: a long time to get over that, and I you know,
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 1: so I think I retired probably about if that never happened.
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 1: If that never happened, I'd probably race way on into
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 1: my late forties. And I think that if I hadn't
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 1: have got married and had kids. Even with that incident
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 1: in twenty sixteen, I might still be racing today, Yeah,
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 1: because I wouldn't put new things into perspective of something
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 1: different to lift for. So right, So when I had
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 1: only myself to live for, I would probably put myself
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 1: back in that same situation risk. You know, my doctor
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 1: would tell me, even after twenty sixteen, He's like, you're fine,
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 1: You're no more You're at no more risk than the
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 1: other guys out there. And I'm like, wait, but I'm damaged, right,
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 1: I've had this injury, and it seems like I would
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 1: be at risk to get it more so than the
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 1: guy racing the car behind me. He's like, ope, you're good,
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 1: you can go race. He's like, now you can get hurt,
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 1: but soa can he You're not going to get it
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 1: easier than him. And I'm like, okay, So I without
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 1: my wife and kids, I probably would have just went
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 1: right back to it, right, and I probably would have
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 1: got sick again. I probably would have got hurt again,
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 1: and who knows where that would have sent me, right,
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 1: But uh, yeah, when I got married and had kids,
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 1: I was like, uh, I don't want to I don't
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 1: want to I don't want to be at home sick,
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 1: can't can't walk, can't stand, can't talk, can't see, and
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 1: have a one year old kid that I can can't
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 1: enjoy right her her milestones. I can't be in the
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 1: moment when you're in a concussion. I'm not telling you
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 1: guys anything, y'all haven't heard or no. When you have
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 1: a concussion, you're in a fog. You're not in the moment.
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 1: You're not in the room you could be. You could
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 1: have the most important people in your life in a
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 1: conversation around a table and you couldn't be a part
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 1: of it and start doing the lookoff and yeah, it
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 1: was awful.
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 2: You worry, bussy t.
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 1: I think you know I do. Uh, it's a I
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 1: don't worry about it. For me, I can't live the
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 1: rest of my life thinking, man, what's gonna happen to me?
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 1: I think that some people do live their life like that,
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 1: worrying about their future. But I'm just gonna today's good.
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 1: Let's see how tomorrow is. Tomorrow's good. You know, I'm
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 1: just doing it, doing it day to day.
• 1:16:57

• 1:16:59
  Speaker 3: just like that plane Crush talked about in the last
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 3: podcast and Wills and Hayes flying in It's like, I
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 3: bet every time you got on a plane, it's there's

  Speaker 1: Get this thing off the ground.
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the arm.

• 1:17:16
  Speaker 1: next flight I take, you can't. I can't do that.
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 1: I can't not fly. Yeah, I've got to get back
• 1:17:22

• 1:20:46
  Speaker 3: Man, I'm working hard at it. Seems like everyone's really
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 3: excited about it. Yeah, yeah, everyone that even people that
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 3: aren't just just a casual fan are excited. I think

  Speaker 3: people just want as many sports as possible here and
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 3: that absolutely.
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 1: I think so. I always say that, you know, the
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 1: rising Tides lists, all the ships up, and we have
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 1: IndyCar coming to run the street course at Nashville. We
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 1: got NASCAR at the Nashville super Speedway. There's a lot
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 1: of there's a push to get Nashville to the fairgrounds
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 1: in town. It's a short track and so and Nashville
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 1: Man has changed so much in the last ten years.
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 1: When NASCAR left in nineteen eighty four, it was a
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 1: different town. And what it is today, it's where we
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 1: want to be, right, we celebrate our champion here. We've
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 1: had our banquet here for the last two or three years,
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 1: and I you know, to me, that's a very critical
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 1: important day for our sport. It's where we celebrate everything
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 1: that happened that year. Right, they could be more important.
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 1: And the day you crown and recognize and celebrate your
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 1: champion and all the winners and all the accomplishments. So
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 1: that we do that here is great for us. It's
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 1: a hell of a fit. It's perfect. And you know,
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 1: everybody we loved Vegas, everybody partied hard, had a last
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 1: but yeah, damn, I mean Nashville is as good or
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 1: better than Vegas. It has it has a similar vibe.
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 1: But also, uh, you know, it's Nashville all another thing
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 1: too that and I want to say, is uh that
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 1: music component like Nascar and music, particularly country music. But
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 1: Nascar and music is a good marriage and we can
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 1: utilize that in ways we never were able to before.
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 1: We would have. You know, the banquet is a big
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 1: giant you know theater, you know, banquet, banquet table event. Right,
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 1: there's five hundred people there, and we were it's like
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 1: pulling teeth to get anybody really bad ass to come play,
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 1: you know, and get and really raise our level, right,
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 1: you know, get people going. Damn did you see NASCAR
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 1: had the banquet play? You know it was good, but
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 1: now that you know, you got so much to choose
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 1: from here in Nashville, all over the place. Damn. Right,
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 1: So we had the banquet last year. Man, I was like,
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 1: I was telling all the drivers, I was calling them up.
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 1: I was like, Hey, all your country music friends, invite
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 1: them to the banquet. Have them sitting at your table,
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 1: even if they don't play. Have them there so when
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 1: the camera goes across the room, they see, you know,
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 1: this famous musician and this race car drive right our whole.
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 1: It brings the brand up.
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 3: Yes, absolutely, yeah, it brings the brand up. Have is
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 3: there is there a difficulty with the brand of NASCAR
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 3: in the last like ten years, like keeping everything going
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 3: in a tribjectory. You guys wanted to go in.
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 1: Well the uh you know, we had an amazing run
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 1: in the two thousands. Things were crazy, we were, I mean,
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 1: souvenir business was multimillions of dollars. All the drivers were
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 1: making money in souvenirs alone. Driver salaries were going through
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 1: the roof. Sponsorships were going through the roof. In two
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 1: thousand and eight, I think we had over four million,
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 1: forty million dollars on one car, really, yeah, Rick Hendrick
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 1: was probably near to one hundred million dollars for his
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 1: team sponsorship and four cars. Yeah, I mean it was
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 1: some bonkers, you know. And the numbers aren't like that
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 1: anymore that you know, the ticket sales aren't like that anymore.
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 1: They've started, you know, for over a decade, we've been
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 1: pulling seats from race tracks. You know, if you can't
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 1: sell these grands, these seats they gotta go. And so
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 1: when you know, instead of having one hundred and eighty
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 1: thousand people at a race, you're you're now thrilled, now thrilled,
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 1: You're happy you have sixty to eighty thousand.
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 3: Really, yeah, it's that much of a difference, Yeah, for
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 3: some plat do What do you think that is? Is
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 3: it just everybody a different way?
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 1: I don't think so. I think it's the way people
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 1: consume content these days. I think that's you know, there
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 1: were a million different variables that made it more difficult
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 1: for fans to choose to go to a race. Hotel rooms,
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 1: the costs to do it all right, The ticket prices
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 1: went up, hotel gallaging, you know, everything got more expensive,
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 1: and it became instead of being a fan, instead of
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 1: being able to go to like multiple races a year,
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 1: it came down to like which one do we go to, right,
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 1: because we can only afford to do this once a year,
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 1: and so that got to be more difficult. And I
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 1: think that we might have lost sight to of how
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 1: to entertain someone for the how to entertain somebody for
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 1: that weekend. So if you're I want you to come
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 1: to race. I mean it's great if you walk up
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 1: and buy a ticket and come to the Grand Sands,
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 1: but I want you to drive an RV and I
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 1: want you to rent a spot, and I want you
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 1: to be there Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and I want
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 1: you eating concessions all three days, and you know, pumping
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 1: money into economy around the racetrack. And that got harder
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 1: to do. You know, that got harder to get people
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 1: to come and commit that that and for you to
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 1: do that, you need more than just the race on Sunday. Right,
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 1: you need a concert on Friday night and Saturday night.
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 1: You need some racing on Saturday. Some of you need
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 1: multiple forms of motorsport at the same venue or something
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 1: like that. Boys play on Saturday and that that's gonna
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 1: bring you in. So it's uh, I think we're getting
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 1: back to that. I think we're getting our our promoters,
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 1: our our promoters are promoting and getting creative. And for
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 1: lack of a better way to describe it, they got
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 1: to bring in that sort of carnival atmosphere and that
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 1: you know, that entertainment atmosphere they got to have, you know,
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 1: they got to have other things for people to do.
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 1: Then to drive there and sit around for two days
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 1: to wait on this three hour race to happen on Sunday.
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 1: Sounds like Nashville is the best place for that to happen.
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, nig City, Bro, it'd be awesome.
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 3: I think however many people you can get is gonna go,
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 3: especially that first one. But if you guys do it right.
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 3: We read concerts and all that.
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 1: We ran out at the fair, we ran out at
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 1: the speedway, and everybody the industry, meaning crew members, all
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 1: the people that work in NASCAR drivers, wives, all the
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 1: industry people and the fans all got entertained for a week,
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 1: you know. I mean we came into town, we went
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 1: to Broadway, we had they had parties, and out at
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 1: the track they had parties. The sponsors were holding parties
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 1: in town, big vents. Everybody was getting taken. It was
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 1: great and we had that stuff hasn't been happening for years.
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 1: We just thought, oh, we're just the race is all
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 1: we need. I don't need to spend ten grand for
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 1: a concert act here Saturday night, you know. So we're
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 1: kind of getting back to being more of an entertainment
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 1: business and the races, the you know, the main course,
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 1: but you got to have everything else, advertiser and all
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 1: those things.
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, pretty savvy in the business world.
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 1: I was.
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 2: I was transitioning from like NASCAR juggling the business and
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 2: becoming the businessman that you're obviously being, like being a
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 2: part owner in the NASCAR speedway circuit whatever it's called. Apologize, No,
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 2: it's good.
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 1: I've been uh well, speedway circuit.
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 2: I'm just saying.
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 1: It's all good.
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 2: The NASCAR Talladega race.
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I used to tell people, like when
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 1: I first started racing, and it was just I was
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 1: just making a paycheck from racing alone. And uh, I
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 1: used to tell people that I wanted to find my
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 1: form and grill. So George Foreman had the grill. And
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 1: and anyone in any athletes size or any race car
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 1: driver's eyes, you know you want to you want to
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 1: be George Foreman. I want to have them. You want
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 1: to have this thing beyond your your racing. Uh that's
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 1: gonna you know, be a be a big deal, be
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 1: a national thing, right, whatever that is George for grill,
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 1: that was great and he selled the hell out in
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 1: things and whatever your George Foreman grill is right, it
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 1: can be anything. And so I was just always like,
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna find something and it's gonna land. I'm gonna
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 1: land something I'm gonna make. It's whether I created or
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 1: it comes and falls in my lap.
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 1: And uh so you try, you know, not everything, some
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 1: things are silly, but you try about everything that sounds good, right,
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 1: and some stuff doesn't work. I've done candy bars, uh,
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 1: and different things that just don't work. Chocolate, what's to
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 1: do on the candy bars that did just go? I mean,
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 1: getting some shelves, space, get a damn store. I don't
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 1: care what kind of food product you are. Is competitive. Look,
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 1: you just don't walk in and put your tatter chips
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 1: on the tater chip aisle. You know what I mean?
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 1: In all the stores across America, it's competitive, and uh
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 1: you you got to earn that. And so or could
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 1: be with the right people. But a lot of our
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 1: things didn't work, but a lot of them did. And
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 1: the secret to being successful at anything is people, and
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 1: so like having some Like I don't know how to
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 1: run a restaurant, right, but I own a restaurant that's
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 1: in Uh we have Whiskey River, which is in airports.
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 1: We got one in Charlotte, Riley and Fort Lauderdale, and
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 1: uh we kill it. But I don't make the choices
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 1: because I would run it in the ground right.
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 3: To do.
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 1: I got some people that I partner with that absolutely
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 1: know how to run a restaurant. And that's why it wins,
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 1: you know, And so you know when you you just
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 1: can't go in there thinking, Man, I know how to
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 1: do this. I know how to run a night club.
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 1: Be the best nightclub. Yeah, you know, you're never gonna
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 1: make it if you're not a nightclub owner. If you
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 1: weren't born into it, you can do everything right. You
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 1: have to put with the right people in the right place.
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 1: George didn't build that grip.
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 3: He did not.
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 1: There's no way he built that grill. Do you think
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 1: George is in the basement.
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 2: Maybe things together?
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 3: You don't know George, dude, I do actually know George. Yeah, literally,
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 3: so this I actually wanted to talk about. What is
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 3: how did this happen between you two? Let's like, what
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 3: because I've heard I've heard a gentle story about.
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 2: Wales.
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 1: He you know, he flexed on me a couple of times.
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 2: It's tough sometimes strong around Dale and I being friend.
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's no question.
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 3: I mean I literally I feel like the third wheel here.
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 3: But I do want to know between the two, how
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 3: did this whole thing work out?
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 1: Is a natural thing?
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 1: It natural?
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 2: He can? He can? He can, you know, chime in whatever.
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 2: How I remember it. We were on our run. That's
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 2: when we won the division back in twenty and fifteen,
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 2: and that was the year I started taking over the job,
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 2: and we were we were playing well in the back
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 2: end the back end of the season, and we started
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 2: stringing games together because we can never win like two
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 2: games in a row. It was always we'd win one,
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 2: we lose one, we win one, we lose one. And
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 2: then we started swinging together. I think like maybe three
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 2: or four, and we were having fun on social media
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 2: and uh D Hall and I we were close and
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 2: he was tweeting back and forth with Kevin Durant and
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 2: uh I, you know, being myself on social media. I'm like,
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 2: I tweet at both of them. I'm like, hey, Dal,
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 2: introduce me to KD, but be cool about it. Yeah,
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 2: and then he like last, He's like, Comp, I'm sure
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 2: he knows you.
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 3: Man.
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 2: He's a fan of the team, because Kat's a big
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 2: fan of the Washington football team. And Kat responds like, hey, Comp,
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 2: I know who you are. Man. He follows me and stuff.
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, you know, I played that up, that
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 2: KD follows me. And then I see yeah, yeah exactly.
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 2: And then in an article of the next day, I'm seeing,
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 2: like the media, you know, put together the storyline of
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 2: what happened, and I saw that Dale was following me too,
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 2: because they're like, oh, KD wasn't the only one who
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 2: followed Will like Dale had followed me or something.
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 1: I like, Kat fan is that how you saw this
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 1: thing go down?
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 2: Well, he's he's a he was a Washington guy too.
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 3: He was watching fan, Yeah, Washington fan. And I was
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 3: always like active thought, this is the guy I'm gonna follow.

• 1:33:08
  Speaker 2: Okay.

  Speaker 2: That looks so different.
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 1: That was like just bored as hell, like all the time.
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 2: We couldn't even drive the race car that day for real.
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 2: But oh really yeah, but yeah, so.

• 1:34:39
  Speaker 1: pretty cool and we needed, uh, you know, our team
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 1: needed some personality.
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 1: You know, when you're a fan, you gravitate towards the
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 1: guys that seemed to show some personality. Right, there's the
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 1: workman type guy that you appreciate, like you know, uh
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 1: that that scores a touchdown, hands the ball, the wrap
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 1: goes back to the bench, right right. But you know
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 1: every team needs that sort of uh clown, right, that
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 1: class clown.
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 2: Jesus Christ God, it's the funnyest fun about that is,
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 2: I know, you know, every team needs sort of a clown.
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 2: And I just see that part being in just some
• 1:35:17

  Speaker 2: He's been my strength coach pretty much my entire life.
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 1: And uh say this, okay, all right, I am a

  Speaker 2: It's like a field trip. We got to miss some
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 2: of the training camp.
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 1: All right, I don't know that, so you know, this

  Speaker 1: We're buddy, Hell, how did that you catch on him?
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 1: I did?
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 2: So that's back when Jo was like Jay No, Yeah,
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 2: he was like that. We came off going to the
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 2: playoffs the year before, went in the division. Kirk was
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 2: now taking the hell, you know, leading the way at quarterbacks,
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 2: so we had like it was like, you know, it
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 2: was a good time to be a Washington football Teammateah.
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So that was off script. So we were walking
• 1:40:29
  Speaker 1: We're walking around. I'm just like, I don't even know
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 1: where it's supposed to be, and uh, you know, I'm
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 1: trying to be out of the way, but there's no
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 1: obvious place that this is out of the way and
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 1: their players doing their own thing, and Josh was jesus, Josh,
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 1: is are you showing the Josh thing? This is me
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 1: and Josh Norman.
• 1:40:55
  Speaker 2: Do you remember that? I bet he thought you were
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 2: an asshole. Dude.
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 1: I'm like, who's Josh Norman? I was, I was kind
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 1: of bush to you.
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 2: What's he doing?
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 1: After this? Yeah, well we were so this this thing.
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 1: We were in four minute drill at the end of
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 1: the game.
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 3: This is like the game like it was like December
• 1:41:14
  Speaker 3: twenty third, was like Christmas time, and what's the upset for? Well, okay,
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 3: so Josh, so we did four minute drill. Obviously in
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 3: the game, I did their bone arrow. I know, That's
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 3: why I trying to make this thing. And then they
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 3: So Derek runs the ball left, smart move, gets a
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 3: few yards and Josh tackles him and Gator rolls his
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 3: leg and I'm not like, like, listen, Derek's my boy.
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 3: But even if Derek wasn't my boy, like the we're
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 3: not going to play those types of games. So I
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 3: go up getting Josh's face and uh, we kind of
• 1:41:43
  Speaker 3: go at it for a little bit. We end up
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 3: winning the game on like a pick six. It was
• 1:41:47
  Speaker 3: like a I think Butler picked it off and ran
• 1:41:49
  Speaker 3: it in when we didn't need to. It was like
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 3: fifteen seconds left in the game. So, like, Josh's mouthing
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 3: off to me, and I just belined for the silence.
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 3: He's sitting there, Josh, he looks at me. I go
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 3: get the fuck off my field, dude, and he like
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 3: he's like, what was that? And I kind of put
• 1:42:05
  Speaker 3: it back again and he threw his helmet at me.
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 3: Didn't move, baller move and the thing goes right by
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 3: me and he slaps my hand. You obviously saw the
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 3: video aster that slaps my hand and all that. But
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 3: we've tried to get him on the pod a couple
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 3: of times, Like, to me, everything on the field is
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 3: like it's all everything's a show in my hands, Like
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 3: we're just we're playing football, where this is entertainment, Like
• 1:42:23
  Speaker 3: I want to beat you up. You want to be
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 3: up with this after it's over, I I don't care,
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. So we get into it,
• 1:42:28
  Speaker 3: but that he was definitely pretty upset about that. And
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 3: then this year he's playing for the Bills and then
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 3: Derek did we did him. He flew through the air.
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 3: That man is still in the air of the day.
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 1: This day was that boom do Do Do doo and
• 1:42:43

• 1:42:56
  Speaker 3: to get the perspective of other people because I don't know,

• 1:43:52
  Speaker 3: It's nice to be a part of, just to be
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 3: around it. It's like it's uh, it's infectious. It's infectious.
• 1:43:57
  Speaker 1: Exactly what you.
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, anybody Dobson, you guys been back there, I'm sure time.
• 1:44:03
  Speaker 1: He was all right, let's do this. I've kind of
• 1:44:05
  Speaker 1: got two questions. We'll start with the first one.
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 4: Okay, So I didn't really grew up like I mean,
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 4: I'm twenty two, So your dad wasn't really alive like
• 1:44:12
  Speaker 4: when I could remember racing. But I was listening to
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 4: the Ty Norris episode of him talking about the most
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 4: Popular Driver award? What kept your dad from winning that?
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 1: Like for so long?
• 1:44:21
  Speaker 4: Like people now, I mean know your dad, but they
• 1:44:24
  Speaker 4: don't know Bill Elliott. He was the one who was
• 1:44:25
  Speaker 4: winning that award way back then.
• 1:44:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean Bill. So the most Popular Driver award
• 1:44:31
  Speaker 1: when dad was alive went to Bill Elliott. He won
• 1:44:36
  Speaker 1: it sixteen times. I think he holds the record. And
• 1:44:40
  Speaker 1: Bill's popular now.
• 1:44:41
  Speaker 2: He was.
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 1: He was a popular driver without a doubt.
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 2: But the.
• 1:44:46
  Speaker 1: You know, I can say this, I think without being
• 1:44:50
  Speaker 1: too disrespectful, but we always felt like that they had
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 1: bots before bots were bots, right, they had a hm,
• 1:45:02
  Speaker 1: I'll be I think, you know, to be clear, what
• 1:45:05
  Speaker 1: it was is that they organized like that. You know,
• 1:45:11
  Speaker 1: when the vote was going on, you had to vote
• 1:45:16
  Speaker 1: through an old news letter and his fan club would
• 1:45:23
  Speaker 1: organize and be like, all right, everybody's that time of year,
• 1:45:25
  Speaker 1: let's go get get you get your votes in, right,
• 1:45:28
  Speaker 1: And you know Dad didn't do that. Dad didn't like
• 1:45:32
  Speaker 1: all right, everybody, it's that time of year, let's vote
• 1:45:35
  Speaker 1: for me and his uh and Bill would win it
• 1:45:39
  Speaker 1: without fail. Every year he would win it. And in
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 1: my opinion, uh, you know, if you polled NASCAR fans
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 1: and you know Dad was more popular, argue it's arguable, right,
• 1:45:53
  Speaker 1: it's absolutely a debatable thing. But in my mind, he
• 1:45:58
  Speaker 1: was absolutely a bigger star, much more you know, mainstream
• 1:46:03
  Speaker 1: outside the NASCAR bubble kind of guy could you know,
• 1:46:05
  Speaker 1: was in films and and would cameo here and there.
• 1:46:08
  Speaker 1: And but Bill won the award every year and they organized,
• 1:46:14
  Speaker 1: you know he is fan club and and Dawsonville, the
• 1:46:17
  Speaker 1: city where he's from. They got everybody on board when
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 1: it was time to get the job done. And he
• 1:46:22
  Speaker 1: would never lose that award. And it was it was
• 1:46:25
  Speaker 1: something I don't know that Bill was actively out there
• 1:46:28
  Speaker 1: going I need this. Yeah, they have PR teams back then. Yeah, sure,
• 1:46:34
  Speaker 1: so that that it was there were there were the
• 1:46:37
  Speaker 1: right people knew that it was good for Bill to
• 1:46:39
  Speaker 1: win that award, right, and so they organized and helped
• 1:46:42
  Speaker 1: make that happen. And you know, I don't think, you know,
• 1:46:46
  Speaker 1: it was any illegal or wrong. I don't think they
• 1:46:49
  Speaker 1: did anything wrong, but they just were, you know, they
• 1:46:52
  Speaker 1: were very dedicated to getting that year after year after years.
• 1:46:57
  Speaker 1: Good questions, Sach, it was your dad, if your dad
• 1:46:59
  Speaker 1: was the timidator, what was was it?
• 1:47:01
  Speaker 2: Bill?
• 1:47:01
  Speaker 1: Bill's nickname was Awesome Bill from.
• 1:47:03
  Speaker 5: Dawsonville, Awesomeville from Dawsonville, Austville, George, Hey, listen, put there
• 1:47:09
  Speaker 5: one everywhere Awesome Bill from Dawsonville. That's tough, Like listen,
• 1:47:16
  Speaker 5: as a casual, casual fan, I don't know who that is.
• 1:47:21
  Speaker 1: Sure, you know, you gotta refrain, you gotta frame this
• 1:47:24
  Speaker 1: in the eighties, you know, awesome you know the it was.
• 1:47:30
  Speaker 1: It sounded absolutely spot on in the eighties, like, yeah,
• 1:47:35
  Speaker 1: Awesome Bill from dos Mill. That's people.
• 1:47:37
  Speaker 3: It's got a nice jingle to it, right, Yeah, yeah,
• 1:47:41
  Speaker 3: today it might not sound quite as might not it
• 1:47:45
  Speaker 3: sounds dated.
• 1:47:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that name is getting drugg on.
• 1:47:50
  Speaker 1: A little round table.
• 1:47:51
  Speaker 3: And like, hey, let's take a nickname for Dale. And
• 1:47:52
  Speaker 3: you said Awesome Dale from wherever he's from, I'd say, hey, well,
• 1:47:55
  Speaker 3: you gotta leave the room.
• 1:47:58
  Speaker 2: You're fired.
• 1:48:00
  Speaker 3: Get him out of here right now. Yeah, the intiminary
• 1:48:03
  Speaker 3: lives on forever. I suppose that name is awesome. I suppose, man,
• 1:48:06

• 1:48:17
  Speaker 1: Yuh yeah, yeah, you guys. Everybody shoots honest and everybody
• 1:48:21
  Speaker 1: shoots straight in here. But I think that, you know,
• 1:48:23
  Speaker 1: it was in the eighties. It like seemed to make
• 1:48:26
  Speaker 1: sense right.
• 1:48:28
  Speaker 2: Here in the eighties, right coming coming after you know,
• 1:48:31
  Speaker 2: the seventies.
• 1:48:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, in like the eighties, Like even if you
• 1:48:33
  Speaker 3: look at the movies like Friday, like Friday the thirteenth,
• 1:48:35
  Speaker 3: it's like no, no, no, and like they have like
• 1:48:37
  Speaker 3: the thirteen and it's like probably a swing and a
• 1:48:40
  Speaker 3: miss now right, that's like you can you do that
• 1:48:42
  Speaker 3: on any computer?
• 1:48:42
  Speaker 4: Now?
• 1:48:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Exactly, that's true.
• 1:48:44
  Speaker 1: Exactly. Yeah, I see what you're saying, getting this.
• 1:48:45
  Speaker 2: To the other side. Keep getting us to the other side,
• 1:48:47
  Speaker 2: being like that is a badass name.
• 1:48:49
  Speaker 1: That is nice. Yeah that I think about it, whatever
• 1:48:54
  Speaker 1: whenever I want. That's a lot from me yesterday.
• 1:48:57
  Speaker 2: Zach also brought up that you had a funny story
• 1:49:00
  Speaker 2: for accepting the award of your dad. I did. Uh.
• 1:49:04
  Speaker 1: So the banquet at that time was in New York City,
• 1:49:08
  Speaker 1: and my dad is passed away earlier the year before,
• 1:49:14
  Speaker 1: and Bill Elliott bowed out of the voting that year
• 1:49:20
  Speaker 1: and said, do not vote for me, really, And so
• 1:49:23
  Speaker 1: Dad won it after you know, that year after his
• 1:49:27
  Speaker 1: death he goes and so at the banquet, they have
• 1:49:31
  Speaker 1: a dinner or breakfast the day before the morning of,
• 1:49:34
  Speaker 1: and they give away these special awards, right, and that
• 1:49:37
  Speaker 1: one of them is the most Popular Driver award, And Dads,
• 1:49:39
  Speaker 1: they want me to accept the award for Dad. Right
• 1:49:42
  Speaker 1: the night before, I'm hanging out in the lobby or
• 1:49:45
  Speaker 1: in the hotel somewhere at the water for Astoria and
• 1:49:50
  Speaker 1: Kenny Strader and a couple other guys, the race car
• 1:49:52
  Speaker 1: drivers peers are my dad's and they're like uncles to me. Right,
• 1:49:57
  Speaker 1: they're they're they old enough to be my dad, and
• 1:49:59
  Speaker 1: they treat me like I'm their son. And they're like, Hey,
• 1:50:03
  Speaker 1: we're going to Hogs and heffersh tonight the meatpacking district.
• 1:50:05
  Speaker 1: You gotta go with us Dogs and Haffirst. Yeah, at
• 1:50:07
  Speaker 1: a strip club. What is that now? It's a drinking
• 1:50:12
  Speaker 1: it's dogs and that place sounds awesome. It was amazing
• 1:50:16
  Speaker 1: in the meatpacking district in New York City. So that's
• 1:50:19
  Speaker 1: all I remember. I don't yeah, I don't know if
• 1:50:21
  Speaker 1: it's still there, but I don't think it is. But anyways,
• 1:50:23
  Speaker 1: I it was a tradition for them every year, and
• 1:50:26
  Speaker 1: so I'm like, sure, I'm wherever you're going, I'm going.
• 1:50:29
  Speaker 1: I love you guys. I can't believe you asked me.
• 1:50:32
  Speaker 1: And so I go and we drank, and I said
• 1:50:35
  Speaker 1: at the bar, and the bar's closing or they're leaving.
• 1:50:39
  Speaker 1: It's one of two in the morning. They're leaving and
• 1:50:41
  Speaker 1: they're like, hey man, let's go. And I'm like, I'm
• 1:50:44
  Speaker 1: gonna stay and thought that was a great idea. And
• 1:50:48
  Speaker 1: so around six o'clock in the morning, the bartender's closing
• 1:50:52
  Speaker 1: and and she's like, hey man, let me get your cab.
• 1:50:55
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, yeah, I guess so, and she's like,
• 1:50:57
  Speaker 1: where are you staying. I said, I'm sending to the
• 1:50:59
  Speaker 1: water Story. So the cab sent me home at six
• 1:51:02
  Speaker 1: o'clock and the banquet, the breakfast for the Most Popular
• 1:51:06
  Speaker 1: Driver award, is at eight o'clock. I go upstairs and
• 1:51:10
  Speaker 1: climb in the bed, and I mean, I am hammered.
• 1:51:13
  Speaker 2: And so.
• 1:51:15
  Speaker 1: The general manager for DEI, my dad's company, ty Norris,
• 1:51:20
  Speaker 1: comes up there and he's like, hey, the bankt or
• 1:51:23
  Speaker 1: the breakfast is happening. Come on, and I'm like, I
• 1:51:27
  Speaker 1: ain't going down there, fucking that, I'm not doing it.
• 1:51:31
  Speaker 1: He's like, no, you got to go do it. This
• 1:51:32
  Speaker 1: is your dad's award. And he's like, I'm like, I
• 1:51:35
  Speaker 1: always got to accept everything for him, you know. Ever
• 1:51:37
  Speaker 1: since he's passed away, I got to go up there
• 1:51:40
  Speaker 1: and get all the things, and everybody wanted to honor
• 1:51:43
  Speaker 1: him and acknowledge him for right or wrong. I got
• 1:51:49
  Speaker 1: frustrated with it. Right, I probably should have been thrilled
• 1:51:54
  Speaker 1: and absolutely honored to do every single thing, but I wasn't,
• 1:51:58
  Speaker 1: and I didn't take it that way, and I didn't
• 1:51:59
  Speaker 1: do it right or wrong. But so I'm like, screw that.
• 1:52:03
  Speaker 1: I'm tired of doing this. I ain't going down there.
• 1:52:05
  Speaker 1: And obviously i'm I'm I'm drunk. I'm not thinking correctly,
• 1:52:09
  Speaker 1: and that's probably weighing a lot on this whole thing.
• 1:52:11
  Speaker 1: So Ty says, you do what you want to do.
• 1:52:14
  Speaker 1: But you're gonna regret this ship for the rest of
• 1:52:16
  Speaker 1: your life. Your dad's never won this award, and you're
• 1:52:20
  Speaker 1: only one person can accept it for him, and that's you.
• 1:52:23
  Speaker 1: And he turned around and walked out, and I got
• 1:52:25
  Speaker 1: up and ran and I said, hey, hey, he's heading
• 1:52:27
  Speaker 1: down the hall, Like wait, all right, I'll give a
• 1:52:29
  Speaker 1: shit on. Yeah. So I put on a suit and
• 1:52:31
  Speaker 1: I walked down there and walked up on that stage.
• 1:52:35
  Speaker 1: When they called, you know, when they said, you know,
• 1:52:37
  Speaker 1: they presented, I walked in there. They've been holding off, like,
• 1:52:40
  Speaker 1: put this award goes, you know, goes earlier in the set, right, Yeah,
• 1:52:44
  Speaker 1: So they're putting this off, putting this off, and finally
• 1:52:46
  Speaker 1: I walk in the room and they're like, okay, he's here,
• 1:52:49
  Speaker 1: do the award. And so the award happens, and I
• 1:52:51
  Speaker 1: go up there and and I don't remember anything about it,
• 1:52:54
  Speaker 1: but Ty said I spoke well and that is awesome.
• 1:52:58
  Speaker 1: I oh, that's so walked off the stage, right back
• 1:53:01
  Speaker 1: to the double door exit and right back up to
• 1:53:04
  Speaker 1: the room. Tore all the ship. Good thing he did that, man,
• 1:53:09
  Speaker 1: that's awesome.
• 1:53:10
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 1:53:10
  Speaker 1: I'm glad I did. I would probably that would be
• 1:53:13
  Speaker 1: something that'd be something you'd regret.
• 1:53:17
  Speaker 2: I love how you just turned around and walked out,
• 1:53:20
  Speaker 2: just set the scene.
• 1:53:20
  Speaker 1: Good for him. It was good, is thatch? Was that
• 1:53:22
  Speaker 1: your second question?
• 1:53:23
  Speaker 2: No?
• 1:53:27
  Speaker 1: So this is uh.
• 1:53:28
  Speaker 4: I guess more or less athlete mindset. And maybe Taylor
• 1:53:32
  Speaker 4: and Will can relate to this, but they may not
• 1:53:34
  Speaker 4: know this, but you went on a four year losing streak.
• 1:53:38
  Speaker 4: You what was your mentality like during the middle of
• 1:53:41
  Speaker 4: those four years where you were just not winning.
• 1:53:44
  Speaker 1: Like I was going I was saying to my I
• 1:53:49
  Speaker 1: was saying to only a very very few individuals that
• 1:53:56
  Speaker 1: I wanted to quit, like this is miserable, this sucks.
• 1:54:03
  Speaker 1: I don't want to do this anymore. How can I
• 1:54:05
  Speaker 1: end this? How can I get out of this? How
• 1:54:07
  Speaker 1: can I stop this? I just don't want to And
• 1:54:09
  Speaker 1: I didn't have the I didn't say it to like
• 1:54:12
  Speaker 1: my car owner, Rick Hendrick, or my team because I
• 1:54:18
  Speaker 1: was I knew one that I wasn't being honest with myself,
• 1:54:22
  Speaker 1: and obviously I didn't want to destroy the relationship. Rick
• 1:54:27
  Speaker 1: wasn't giving up on me as an owner. He gave
• 1:54:32
  Speaker 1: me a whole lot longer leash than he gave other guys. Right,
• 1:54:35
  Speaker 1: so he because he you know, if other guys didn't
• 1:54:37
  Speaker 1: get their stuff together and run, well, he sent them
• 1:54:39
  Speaker 1: down the road. And he hung on to me for
• 1:54:42
  Speaker 1: way longer than that, right, And I knew that, And uh,
• 1:54:46
  Speaker 1: there was part of me that was thinking, if I
• 1:54:48
  Speaker 1: keep coming back, it'll it'll turn around, right, It's got
• 1:54:51
  Speaker 1: to turn around. But they're in there, you know. In
• 1:54:55
  Speaker 1: some of the toughest moments, you're just like, I want
• 1:54:58
  Speaker 1: to disappear. Even if I regret this and I just
• 1:55:01
  Speaker 1: feel like a failure, I'll just I'll just fade in.
• 1:55:06
  Speaker 1: I'll fade into the beach somewhere and nobody will ever
• 1:55:09
  Speaker 1: have to worry about it. I'm glad I didn't, right,
• 1:55:12
  Speaker 1: I'm glad I didn't take that. That would have been
• 1:55:13
  Speaker 1: the easy, cheap way to do it. But uh, I
• 1:55:18
  Speaker 1: was glad I stuck it out. We got back to
• 1:55:20
  Speaker 1: winning some races and had some things to enjoy, you know,
• 1:55:24
  Speaker 1: at the back end of the career, and that was
• 1:55:28
  Speaker 1: really really good. Steve Gatart came in and yeah, brought
• 1:55:32
  Speaker 1: a whole right, So yeah, is that who's that? Who
• 1:55:34
  Speaker 1: you say, Steve Latart, that was the crew chief that
• 1:55:37
  Speaker 1: came in. I changed crewchiefs. Yeah, I changed crechief pivot,
• 1:55:41
  Speaker 1: so I changed crew chiefs. So things were bad. Four
• 1:55:46
  Speaker 1: year losing streak. Not a no, not a threat. Right,
• 1:55:50
  Speaker 1: And people in the garage and you know, you know, uh,
• 1:55:55
  Speaker 1: guys on teams that are that you may even look
• 1:55:58
  Speaker 1: at like this, but they're not a threat, never gonna
• 1:56:01
  Speaker 1: be anything you gotta worry about, right, They're not any
• 1:56:03
  Speaker 1: They're not competition to you. And you thought you reviewed
• 1:56:05
  Speaker 1: that way. Yeah, and the ground, it's gotta be a
• 1:56:07
  Speaker 1: tough feeling to have God.
• 1:56:10
  Speaker 2: Especially for like four years. You're like, what am I doing?
• 1:56:14
  Speaker 1: So I changed crew chiefs. And this guy that came in,
• 1:56:17
  Speaker 1: his name Steve Latart. He was kind of kind of
• 1:56:21
  Speaker 1: rejected by the driver that was driving for him a
• 1:56:24
  Speaker 1: little bit. At least he viewed it as I'm not
• 1:56:27
  Speaker 1: wanted by this guy. And he came to me and
• 1:56:29
  Speaker 1: he said, I think me and you were both looking
• 1:56:31
  Speaker 1: at our last chance. He said to you, yeah, and
• 1:56:34
  Speaker 1: he's like, we're gonna do this and we're gonna make
• 1:56:37
  Speaker 1: it work, or you know, if you don't do what
• 1:56:39
  Speaker 1: I need you to do, then it ain't gonna work.
• 1:56:41
  Speaker 1: And so he's he looked at my approach and my
• 1:56:44
  Speaker 1: prep and said, you know you're gonna need to be
• 1:56:48
  Speaker 1: at the truck an hour before before practice starts. I
• 1:56:51
  Speaker 1: was just showing up right on time before. Yeah, that
• 1:56:54
  Speaker 1: was good enough. And he's like, I need you there
• 1:56:56
  Speaker 1: an hour early. I need you to stay as late
• 1:56:58
  Speaker 1: as I need you, whether it's four hours, ten hours,
• 1:57:01
  Speaker 1: whatever it is. You just don't leave till I tell
• 1:57:03
  Speaker 1: you you're clear. And he just had all these rules
• 1:57:07
  Speaker 1: and I never had anybody place that in front of me.
• 1:57:10
  Speaker 1: And I was like, oh, all right, if it's my
• 1:57:13
  Speaker 1: last chance and it's your last chance, I'll follow every rule.
• 1:57:17
  Speaker 1: I'll do everything you asked me to do. That's and dude,
• 1:57:19
  Speaker 1: we did it. We got better. It took a while
• 1:57:22
  Speaker 1: now as a process, but we got back to victory
• 1:57:24
  Speaker 1: Lane and we won a handful of races, and day
• 1:57:27
  Speaker 1: twenty five hundred, I won a Martinsville clock. I mean,
• 1:57:32
  Speaker 1: we had some great years where we ran good top fives,
• 1:57:35
  Speaker 1: top fives, top fives, contending every weekend. It was awesome.
• 1:57:39
  Speaker 1: That's amazing. Then he caught h and then so things
• 1:57:43
  Speaker 1: are at their best, right, everything's everything is amazing, right
• 1:57:47
  Speaker 1: twosand and fourteen, going going into twenty fourteen. So we're
• 1:57:53
  Speaker 1: in the middle of a great and we're doing good
• 1:57:56
  Speaker 1: in twenty thirteen and I got a h I got
• 1:58:00
  Speaker 1: a rumor. So I told me a rumor that he
• 1:58:03
  Speaker 1: was going to take a broadcasting job with NBC. And
• 1:58:07
  Speaker 1: I was like, how could he do that? Hell you
• 1:58:11
  Speaker 1: confront of him about it?
• 1:58:12
  Speaker 4: No.
• 1:58:13
  Speaker 1: So I got this rumor on the way into Charlotte
• 1:58:16
  Speaker 1: Murder Speedway. We were racing there in May. So I've
• 1:58:20
  Speaker 1: got this screwchief right, and he we we're doing well.
• 1:58:26
  Speaker 1: And when we don't do well, instead of looking at
• 1:58:28
  Speaker 1: me and going all right, man, I need you to
• 1:58:30
  Speaker 1: try a little harder, he looked at me and he said,
• 1:58:32
  Speaker 1: I got to build you a better car. And I'm like,
• 1:58:35
  Speaker 1: holy shit, I've never heard that, right. I always heard
• 1:58:38
  Speaker 1: that I made the mistake, or I needed to try harder.
• 1:58:40
  Speaker 1: I wasn't dedicated, I wasn't focused today, never had of
• 1:58:43
  Speaker 1: a guy told me the car I built you wasn't
• 1:58:46
  Speaker 1: good enough for you and I got to do better.
• 1:58:48
  Speaker 1: And I was like this new shit.
• 1:58:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:58:51
  Speaker 1: And he was a massive, awesome cheerleader, always cheer always
• 1:58:55
  Speaker 1: like come on, man, we can do it. Come on.
• 1:58:57
  Speaker 1: Standing there always cracking the whip. Come on, come on,
• 1:58:59
  Speaker 1: we can do it. You know, if you're talking, you
• 1:59:01
  Speaker 1: know you're hearing your hearing this over the radio. It's
• 1:59:03
  Speaker 1: pumping you up every race. Anyways, you know, he's taking
• 1:59:08
  Speaker 1: this job as a broadcaster, and I was devastated, and so,
• 1:59:13
  Speaker 1: uh we ended up. Uh, you know, I go to
• 1:59:16
  Speaker 1: him and I'm like, dude, I heard this thing, and

  Speaker 1: he's like, yeah, I wanted to tell you, but you know,
• 1:59:20
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry. You sorry, the rumor got to you before
• 1:59:23
  Speaker 1: I could get to you. Yeah, I told you himself. Yeah,
• 1:59:27
  Speaker 1: And so we ended up doing his final year twenty fourteen.
• 1:59:31
  Speaker 2: We won.
• 1:59:32
  Speaker 1: I have four races maybe something like that. And uh,
• 1:59:37
  Speaker 1: then he went into TV, and so I raced a
• 1:59:41
  Speaker 1: few more years and had some more fun. And then
• 1:59:44
  Speaker 1: when I got ready to retire, I went to the
• 1:59:46
  Speaker 1: booth where he works. Really yeah, I said, hey, man,
• 1:59:50
  Speaker 1: you cool. If I come to the booth, they're offering
• 1:59:53
  Speaker 1: me this job. He's like, come on, yeah, that's awesome.
• 1:59:56
  Speaker 1: Now we're back.
• 1:59:57
  Speaker 2: I love that.
• 1:59:58
  Speaker 1: I'd love to hear that for sure.
• 2:00:00
  Speaker 3: Those two years after he left, was there like a
• 2:00:03
  Speaker 3: nervousness transition like that support systems kind of gone.
• 2:00:06
  Speaker 1: Nope, So we had there was there was this prospect,
• 2:00:10
  Speaker 1: prospect Greg guy'es was his name. He's a crew chief,
• 2:00:13
  Speaker 1: bright engineering mind. And I talked to Steve and I said, okay,
• 2:00:18
  Speaker 1: I said, man, you're leaving me. You got one job
• 2:00:22
  Speaker 1: outside of us going through this final year together. You
• 2:00:24
  Speaker 1: got one damn job. Like every time there's a void
• 2:00:29
  Speaker 1: in this team, you don't try to just feel it.
• 2:00:33
  Speaker 1: You try to put a better person in that position.
• 2:00:36
  Speaker 1: If we lose a guy for whatever reason, he either
• 2:00:38
  Speaker 1: gets fired because he doesn't do his job, or he
• 2:00:40
  Speaker 1: gets hired by somebody else, you always try to bring
• 2:00:43
  Speaker 1: in somebody that's even better. It's not you. You never
• 2:00:47
  Speaker 1: bring in a guy that's the same or worse. Right.
• 2:00:50
  Speaker 1: You always anytime you have an opportunity to fill that void.
• 2:00:54
  Speaker 1: I said, now it's your turn to fill your own void. Dude.
• 2:00:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:00:56
  Speaker 1: I was like, find me that guy that's better than you.
• 2:00:59
  Speaker 1: I was like, here's all the names. I'm here, and
• 2:01:01
  Speaker 1: here's here's the people that we could go after. And
• 2:01:04
  Speaker 1: he's like, that's the guy right away. And I'm like,
• 2:01:07
  Speaker 1: I like that guy too. I'm glad you feel that way.
• 2:01:10
  Speaker 1: That's cool.
• 2:01:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I love that that's hard transitioning from anybody, but
• 2:01:16
  Speaker 3: just having having the sports system and yeah, that's cool.
• 2:01:18
  Speaker 1: He was so cool about that. And that's one of
• 2:01:20
  Speaker 1: the tough things about I don't know if that's one
• 2:01:23
  Speaker 1: of the tough things about life is learning that not
• 2:01:26
  Speaker 1: you know, you're gonna fall in love with people, You're
• 2:01:28
  Speaker 1: gonna make these amazing friendships with people, whether it's your wife,
• 2:01:31
  Speaker 1: your best friend, your dad, your your your cousin, your
• 2:01:36
  Speaker 1: your buddy from high school. But none of that stuff
• 2:01:39
  Speaker 1: lasts forever. That was such a hard lesson to learn,
• 2:01:42
  Speaker 1: and it's still not easy to to take right. I mean,
• 2:01:46
  Speaker 1: I I had this guy that was like a grandfather
• 2:01:49
  Speaker 1: to me when I first started racing, and we had
• 2:01:52
  Speaker 1: to split up because of for me to learn more
• 2:01:56
  Speaker 1: about my cars, I needed to work on them, and
• 2:01:59
  Speaker 1: that meant him drying an hour to work every day.
• 2:02:02
  Speaker 1: And he's like, I'm not driving an hour to work
• 2:02:04
  Speaker 1: because the cars were at his shop, and I was like,
• 2:02:06
  Speaker 1: I need to work on them every day. I need
• 2:02:07
  Speaker 1: I can't drive, you know, I can't go down there.
• 2:02:09
  Speaker 1: He's like, we just had to split and it was
• 2:02:12
  Speaker 1: it was like a death man like because he was
• 2:02:14
  Speaker 1: like a granddad to me, I love this man, and
• 2:02:17
  Speaker 1: uh and and and I think, you know, splitting with
• 2:02:21
  Speaker 1: Steve at that time. Those are difficult things to deal
• 2:02:26
  Speaker 1: with in life, but you got to realize that nothing
• 2:02:29
  Speaker 1: lasts forever. Nothing.
• 2:02:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, man, that is that is so true too. It's
• 2:02:34
  Speaker 2: like sometimes like just think about like almost being done
• 2:02:36
  Speaker 2: with ball, like damn, like this chapter that you've worked,
• 2:02:39
  Speaker 2: you know, up to twenty three years to play it.
• 2:02:42
  Speaker 2: You know, a sport that you you know, you know
• 2:02:44
  Speaker 2: the average career is light, and then to play and
• 2:02:48
  Speaker 2: then you know, now you know, like it's almost final
• 2:02:51
  Speaker 2: and over, regardless if I want it to be or not.
• 2:02:55
  Speaker 2: It's just crazy to think, like you know, something you
• 2:02:57
  Speaker 2: think is going to be forever, knowing that it's not,
• 2:03:00
  Speaker 2: and then it's finally here at the finish line or
• 2:03:03
  Speaker 2: you know it is. It is nuts. And then friendships,
• 2:03:06
  Speaker 2: like you know, Taylor was mentioning it on you were
• 2:03:09
  Speaker 2: talking about like seasonal stuff, Like it's just crazy.
• 2:03:11
  Speaker 3: That these friends in your life are like seasons. Like
• 2:03:13
  Speaker 3: you there has this big vertical leap and you're like, God,
• 2:03:17
  Speaker 3: this guy's the best. Then for whatever reason, it kind
• 2:03:19
  Speaker 3: of just fizzles out. But then you make like two
• 2:03:21
  Speaker 3: or three that are like lifetime friends.
• 2:03:23
  Speaker 2: Sure.
• 2:03:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, of course. The best are the ones where you
• 2:03:27
  Speaker 1: might not hear from them for a long time, but
• 2:03:29
  Speaker 1: you can pick it right back up. That's how me
• 2:03:31
  Speaker 1: and my high school are. Man, they don't give you that,
• 2:03:33
  Speaker 1: They don't give you that that feeling of that vibe
• 2:03:35
  Speaker 1: that man.
• 2:03:36
  Speaker 2: You should have stayed in touch the whole time.
• 2:03:38
  Speaker 1: Why haven't you been calling me? Yeah, they're just like
• 2:03:40
  Speaker 1: glad to hear from you.
• 2:03:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you got a buddy who can get off the
• 2:03:43
  Speaker 3: phone with and a month later call back and pick
• 2:03:44
  Speaker 3: up on the same conversation.
• 2:03:45
  Speaker 1: Those are the Those are the ones that last forever. Yeah,
• 2:03:48
  Speaker 1: that's awesome.
• 2:03:50
  Speaker 2: The boys when you when.
• 2:03:51
  Speaker 3: You were talking about your dad and like kind of
• 2:03:55
  Speaker 3: always wanting him to give you that that approval, and
• 2:03:58
  Speaker 3: like when you start racing, you started to see that.
• 2:04:01
  Speaker 3: You guys, when he went from preaching to okay, you're
• 2:04:03
  Speaker 3: kind of working together as a tutoring when he did
• 2:04:06
  Speaker 3: pass away, Where were you guys at in your relationship?
• 2:04:09
  Speaker 1: Was it really everything you wanted it to be? Yeah,
• 2:04:12
  Speaker 1: it was amazing. I was uh.
• 2:04:19
  Speaker 2: We I was this? Uh I was this.
• 2:04:24
  Speaker 1: I don't know how to put this into words and
• 2:04:26
  Speaker 1: articulate just right. But man, he was looking at me like,
• 2:04:29
  Speaker 1: this is gonna be part of the future of my business, right,
• 2:04:32
  Speaker 1: I mean it had to be. I had won, uh
• 2:04:35
  Speaker 1: you know, over a dozen races in the Xfinity Series,
• 2:04:38
  Speaker 1: two championships back to back, and was moving into the
• 2:04:40
  Speaker 1: Cup Series, had won the All Star Race as a rookie,
• 2:04:43
  Speaker 1: won at Texas and Richmond, and I had this potential, right,
• 2:04:46
  Speaker 1: I had this this uh, this this prospect of success.
• 2:04:52
  Speaker 1: And he was building this brand new race team to
• 2:04:55
  Speaker 1: to be the best, to be best in the business.
• 2:04:57
  Speaker 1: They called the shop the garage, Ma Hall. Let me
• 2:05:00
  Speaker 1: you know, this whole thing was just big. This whole
• 2:05:03
  Speaker 1: dream envision of his was really becoming a reality. Dad
• 2:05:09
  Speaker 1: could walk into the garage up to the best motor builder,
• 2:05:13
  Speaker 1: no matter who he worked for, and say I want
• 2:05:15
  Speaker 1: to talk to you about coming to work for me,
• 2:05:18
  Speaker 1: and that guy would more than likely say I got
• 2:05:22
  Speaker 1: time to talk to you, you know he would. That
• 2:05:25
  Speaker 1: person was never going to say good where I'm at? Yeah,
• 2:05:27
  Speaker 1: thanks deal. They were always gonna think about it. Consider it.
• 2:05:31
  Speaker 1: That was dyl Earnhardt asking him to come to his
• 2:05:34
  Speaker 1: and he was going to take them and spend as
• 2:05:36
  Speaker 1: long as it took to convince them that this was
• 2:05:39
  Speaker 1: the future and they were a part of it. And
• 2:05:42
  Speaker 1: he was just amazing at that. And so what I
• 2:05:44
  Speaker 1: guess I'm getting at is that he had he was
• 2:05:47
  Speaker 1: going to absolutely build one of the best race teams
• 2:05:51
  Speaker 1: that this sport would ever see, most successful race teams
• 2:05:55
  Speaker 1: that this sport was ever would ever see. He had
• 2:05:58
  Speaker 1: the ability to get all of the people that he
• 2:06:00
  Speaker 1: needed to build the best, fastest race cars and you
• 2:06:03
  Speaker 1: weren't going to beat them. And uh And I think
• 2:06:05
  Speaker 1: that he was looking at me as a corner piece
• 2:06:08
  Speaker 1: to that puzzle. You know that those are the ones
• 2:06:11
  Speaker 1: that you put on the table first, yeah, right to
• 2:06:14
  Speaker 1: build it. And I think he was looking at me
• 2:06:16
  Speaker 1: as like one of those more of the key pieces
• 2:06:18
  Speaker 1: that was going to be part of the future. That's awesome.
• 2:06:22
  Speaker 1: I don't know how you guys build puzzles, but I'm
• 2:06:24
  Speaker 1: the I'm the corner piece. Yeah, I get this usually
• 2:06:27
  Speaker 1: to the throne, as you know, as a dad of
• 2:06:29
  Speaker 1: a three year over doing the puzzles. Yeah, that Legs
• 2:06:32
  Speaker 1: were trying to teach her about the corners and like
• 2:06:34
  Speaker 1: get the corners out, and both of you you do
• 2:06:37
  Speaker 1: the corners and then the outside. That's right.
• 2:06:41
  Speaker 2: Listen, both of you are fathers of two daughters.
• 2:06:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you have two daughters. Hold it they now three
• 2:06:46
  Speaker 3: and eight months. Gosh, I have mine just turned four,
• 2:06:49
  Speaker 3: and they have one that's certain one.
• 2:06:50
  Speaker 1: In a week. Yeah, it's awesome.
• 2:06:52
  Speaker 3: It's it is awesome. It's it's definitely. It's cool to
• 2:06:55
  Speaker 3: see their different personalities. You have one, you're like, okay,
• 2:06:57
  Speaker 3: they're all like this, right, and when you have the
• 2:06:59
  Speaker 3: next one, like, listen, this is way different, you know,
• 2:07:02
  Speaker 3: but it's very cool being a dead That's awesome.
• 2:07:04
  Speaker 2: It is.
• 2:07:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's crazy how different they look. You'd think, I mean,
• 2:07:08
  Speaker 1: I'm not. This is different for every parent. Some parents
• 2:07:11
  Speaker 1: their kids do look similar. But they these two that
• 2:07:15
  Speaker 1: I got, man, they appear to be complete opposites. And
• 2:07:18
  Speaker 1: their whole vibe they give off is not the same. Yeah,
• 2:07:24
  Speaker 1: and uh but it's fun and it's good and but
• 2:07:27
  Speaker 1: it's so challenging to try to my three year old
• 2:07:32
  Speaker 1: and and you're probably dealing with this too. Is pushing
• 2:07:36
  Speaker 1: the buttons, right, and she's she's testing our limits, and
• 2:07:42
  Speaker 1: uh boy, she says some things that she doesn't know
• 2:07:46
  Speaker 1: are rude, right, Get out of that is the hardest thing.
• 2:07:48
  Speaker 2: I saw Taylor's oldest win almost choked Taylor to death.
• 2:07:52
  Speaker 2: I remember that she didn't want to get out of
• 2:07:54
  Speaker 2: the pool.
• 2:07:57
  Speaker 3: She's like screaming, it's tough, man, because yeah, I mean
• 2:08:00
  Speaker 3: my childhood wasn't the best and so like for me,
• 2:08:03
  Speaker 3: it's like, I want to make sure that you guys
• 2:08:05
  Speaker 3: have everything you need without being spoiled and also appreciate
• 2:08:10
  Speaker 3: the things you have. And it's just you just don't
• 2:08:12
  Speaker 3: want to You just don't want to be like that kid.
• 2:08:14
  Speaker 3: Whatever the in that situation is, that's kind of act
• 2:08:16
  Speaker 3: like that. And so teaching them that conference, like what
• 2:08:20
  Speaker 3: you're saying is is when they just say things to
• 2:08:23
  Speaker 3: you and they're it's so rude, but they don't know
• 2:08:25
  Speaker 3: it's rude, and like I'll be talking to I'll be like,
• 2:08:27
  Speaker 3: stop talking, yes, dude, go ahead.
• 2:08:36
  Speaker 1: So I went in i was room the other day
• 2:08:37
  Speaker 1: and and uh She's laying in there and I'm like,
• 2:08:40
  Speaker 1: I'm like, uh, hey, you're good. She's like get out. Yeah,
• 2:08:44
  Speaker 1: And I'm like you're three, Yeah, what the hell.
• 2:08:47
  Speaker 3: You're like nine twelve, Yeah, get out of my room, dad,
• 2:08:52
  Speaker 3: But she's three and saying get out of here, and
• 2:08:56
  Speaker 3: the most random things will be so mean to you,
• 2:08:58
  Speaker 3: and then the next minute they'll like kind of crawl over, yeah,
• 2:09:00
  Speaker 3: snug on you a little bit and turn around just
• 2:09:01
  Speaker 3: give you a kiss, and you're.
• 2:09:02
  Speaker 1: Like, that's all right.
• 2:09:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, my kids are awesome. I'm gonna be definitely be
• 2:09:11
  Speaker 3: that dad when they start doing stuff like see what
• 2:09:13
  Speaker 3: my kid did?
• 2:09:14
  Speaker 2: He always to having them what they did there? I
• 2:09:18
  Speaker 2: always got the video on your phone videos.
• 2:09:21
  Speaker 1: Do you wish you had a boy? No, because I
• 2:09:27
  Speaker 1: so I was thinking about my own life, thinking about
• 2:09:31
  Speaker 1: growing up, and you know, the thinking about growing up
• 2:09:35
  Speaker 1: in my dad's house and how much people expected and thought, Man,
• 2:09:42
  Speaker 1: you know, you're just automatically gonna be this rock star
• 2:09:45
  Speaker 1: race car driver. I'm just gonna you know, you're gonna
• 2:09:47
  Speaker 1: follow right in your dad's footsteps and do everything he
• 2:09:49
  Speaker 1: did and more. And I might not have been as
• 2:09:53
  Speaker 1: self aware of all that when I was a kid,
• 2:09:56
  Speaker 1: but I definitely wouldn't want to have to watch my
• 2:09:59
  Speaker 1: son be a subject to that, right, And so I
• 2:10:03
  Speaker 1: didn't want a son. I wanted to I wanted another
• 2:10:06
  Speaker 1: girl the second time. If it was going to be
• 2:10:08
  Speaker 1: a boy, I was gonna do what you know, I
• 2:10:10
  Speaker 1: was it was gonna be fine, but I'm selfish and
• 2:10:15
  Speaker 1: it's always gonna be fine. Yeah.
• 2:10:18
  Speaker 2: It's almost like there's some other option, like, you know,
• 2:10:22
  Speaker 2: that's what I'm going to be.
• 2:10:24
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to make that clear. I because people aren't
• 2:10:29
  Speaker 1: supposed to wish for one of the just you know,
• 2:10:32
  Speaker 1: want a healthy baby, right, and so I feel I
• 2:10:35
  Speaker 1: feel okay, So my wife is badass, and my little
• 2:10:44
  Speaker 1: my first girl is giving me all this love, right,
• 2:10:48
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, damn, I'll take some one of this.
• 2:10:50
  Speaker 1: This is great, right. My whole house just bubbling over
• 2:10:53
  Speaker 1: with you know, it's pouring out the windows right just
• 2:10:57
  Speaker 1: uh you know, and I think a little boy would
• 2:10:59
  Speaker 1: come in there and just be like Tasmanian devil, right yeah,
• 2:11:05
  Speaker 1: and just creating all kinds of difficulties.
• 2:11:07
  Speaker 2: But would you name them in the third.
• 2:11:10
  Speaker 3: No?
• 2:11:11
  Speaker 2: Hell no, And so damn don't think it easy. I'm
• 2:11:13
  Speaker 2: the third note.
• 2:11:14
  Speaker 1: No, hell no, that'd be awesome.
• 2:11:19
  Speaker 4: No.
• 2:11:19
  Speaker 3: The junior is the thing that's like, all right, well
• 2:11:21
  Speaker 3: you get it going, yeah, get it. It's like, oh,
• 2:11:25
  Speaker 3: I felt.
• 2:11:27
  Speaker 2: That paintings hanging in on some royalty water.
• 2:11:33
  Speaker 1: Mustaches. It was the first to say, yeah, I was
• 2:11:36
  Speaker 1: worried that I would screw up the boy that I would.
• 2:11:41
  Speaker 1: I felt like that I wasn't parent material in terms
• 2:11:44
  Speaker 1: of being able to treat teach them uh right and
• 2:11:49
  Speaker 1: wrong and manners. And I don't have that. In my mind,
• 2:11:52
  Speaker 1: I'm thinking I don't have that ability. I'm not a parent.
• 2:11:55
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 2:11:55
  Speaker 1: I'm never parented. I'm probably going to be pretty bad
• 2:11:58
  Speaker 1: as everybody before they have their first Yeah.
• 2:12:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm looking at my wife, going, now, she's got it,
• 2:12:04
  Speaker 3: even though she's probably sitting there going, I don't got it.
• 2:12:07
  Speaker 1: I don't know what I'm doing. I'm looking at everyone.
• 2:12:10
  Speaker 1: She knows what she's doing.
• 2:12:11
  Speaker 3: And she can keep these girls in line because she
• 2:12:14
  Speaker 3: knows girls, right. I don't and and and I can't
• 2:12:19
  Speaker 3: screw these girls up. She's Amy's not going to allow it, right,
• 2:12:22
  Speaker 3: She's gonna raise two perfectly amazing girls, and I will have.
• 2:12:26
  Speaker 1: Nothing to do with it. If not, it's on her,
• 2:12:28
  Speaker 1: you know. Well, But boy, it was no, There was no.
• 2:12:33
  Speaker 1: It was sure to be a mess. That was the
• 2:12:37
  Speaker 1: way I had it in my head. I hear you,
• 2:12:39
  Speaker 1: that is absolutely not the reality of the situation. But
• 2:12:42
  Speaker 1: that's like, in my mind that's the way I think.
• 2:12:44
  Speaker 1: I think I'm weird. Do you think your patients have
• 2:12:46
  Speaker 1: gotten a lot better? Like for me, whenever my kids
• 2:12:49
  Speaker 1: like I'm coming at me, Yeah, they have. Whenever my
• 2:12:52
  Speaker 1: kids coming at me, my first go to you thought
• 2:12:54
  Speaker 1: is like, how do I handle the situation so you're
• 2:12:56
  Speaker 1: not traumatized for the rest of your life?
• 2:12:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 2:12:58
  Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying, How do I handle this
• 2:13:00
  Speaker 3: situation the right way? My patients have gotten a whole
• 2:13:03
  Speaker 3: lot better.
• 2:13:04
  Speaker 1: I mean I've I have gotten to the point to
• 2:13:08
  Speaker 1: where like Ilah is trying to do something and I'm like,
• 2:13:13
  Speaker 1: you're not gonna bother me, Like you're trying to get
• 2:13:16
  Speaker 1: me upset, You're trying to trigger me, You're trying to
• 2:13:19
  Speaker 1: get this reaction out of me. And I'm not gonna
• 2:13:23
  Speaker 1: not bothered by what you're doing right there and keep
• 2:13:27
  Speaker 1: it on going, right, And So I think I have
• 2:13:29
  Speaker 1: I didn't have that in year one, year one and
• 2:13:31
  Speaker 1: a half two, but I've I've kind of I used
• 2:13:35
  Speaker 1: to let her bother me. Man, she could hurt my feelings.
• 2:13:37
  Speaker 1: My little two year old could bother hurt my feelings,
• 2:13:40
  Speaker 1: like my wife, right, And I'm like, what I think
• 2:13:44
  Speaker 1: it's almost worse than your two year old does it.
• 2:13:47
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, how are you able to have that
• 2:13:49
  Speaker 1: power over me? And so like you work that out?
• 2:13:53
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 2:13:53
  Speaker 1: I finally, for the most part, work that out. Now,
• 2:13:57
  Speaker 1: she's gonna have new tools. You know, they get older,
• 2:13:59
  Speaker 1: they come at you with new things. They say that
• 2:14:01
  Speaker 1: they're like, wait, that that hurts that that's a new one.
• 2:14:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:14:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and uh, and we'll we'll deal with that when
• 2:14:07
  Speaker 1: it happens. But it's, uh, you know, it's it's interesting.
• 2:14:13
  Speaker 1: I'm hands on, man. I take out of the school,
• 2:14:15
  Speaker 1: pick her up from school. Like when Amy, when we
