Shop Beers Live 8/25: A Rare Off-Weekend · Pushin' the Cushion

• Slim Pushins: What's up everybody? Welcome to another exciting week of pushing the cushion shop beers. As always, my co-host who literally just got back home from fighting wildfires, Corby Sherb. Corby Scherb: What's happened, everyone? Jesus Christ. I quit. Automatically. Right now. Slim Pushins: What a great Jim Gardner: Kerbo cur curvo asked me to do that for you. Hang on. The the people are not going to Slim Pushins: No, I like Tulsa Time. Jim Gardner: People are not gonna know what's going on if we don't play your your real intro music there. But Slim Pushins: I like Tulsa time so much better. Corby, you're back from fighting fighting fires. We appreciate that. Corby Scherb: Man, there's a lot of wildfires around us right now. they had like two two ways out of Decatur closed down yesterday. So, they call him the fireman. That was it's funny because that's one of the pictures that I took. I was up on top of the wing Slim Pushins: I Corby Scherb: and I said, Shh, the fireman Slim Pushins: And always the guy behind the dials back there Corby Scherb: Looks really busy and he's not doing anything. Slim Pushins: Hollywood, Jim G get shocked? What happened? Jim Gardner: No, I Corby Scherb: Through a rod? Jim Gardner: I was making sure I was making sure we Slim Pushins: What you got you got low oil pressure? Jim Gardner: were live on YouTube and it started playing in the background. Slim Pushins: yeah. The guy on the dials. Jim Gardner: Anyway. Slim Pushins: That was the wrong one. That wasn't your Italian intro music. There it is. Jimmy Hollywood Gardner. Corby Scherb: That's better than Tulsa Time. Slim Pushins: No, it's not. Jim Gardner: I I get to listen to that every Monday afternoon at dinner at my father in law's. I figured I'd bring a little Slim Pushins: You you're lying. Jim Gardner: Italian flavor to the podcast tonight. Slim Pushins: There's no way. Is it pasta? Pasta every Monday? Jim Gardner: Pretty much. man. Slim Pushins: All right, Corby, back to the wildfires. They were knocking on your back door out there in Decatur. Corby Scherb: There's still I don't think that there's one like west of us, towards like Jacksboro. no, this one's off three eighty. Slim Pushins: Fi the Highway fifty one fire? no. no, you're talking about the big one. Corby Scherb: Yeah, it's a good thing, I mean the wind's blowing that way this time of year, but that one's bad, man. They they have a lot of people evacuating still. So Slim Pushins: I I I just saw when I was trying to get get on my phone on our live that the Highway fifty one fire as of like a half hour ago is a hundred percent contained. The Corby Scherb: Yeah. Slim Pushins: other one is five percent contained, and I saw earlier today that it was it grew it grew like forty thousand acres in under ten hours. It's at fifty thousand acres right now. Corby Scherb: It it's super dry and it was windy again today, so I mean Jim is losing his mind talking about wildfires right now. Slim Pushins: Nah. Jim loves Jim loves a good he loves good wildfire talk. Jim Gardner: Got wildfire talk, yeah. That's exactly what we needed. Slim Pushins: Mambo Italian st mambo. Keyword. Jim Gardner: Mambo Italiano. Corby Scherb: like Mambo number five, great song. Jim Gardner: Yeah, exactly. man. Slim Pushins: So all right, Jim, tell us what's going on. Your wife sent me a text earlier, backdooring you. She told me that she told me to ask about your ear. What's happening? Jim Gardner: yeah. I I had it I had my ear procedure this afternoon. They patched it up. we'll see. I don't know. Corby Scherb: Little silicone in there? Jim Gardner: yeah, I asked them, I was like, should I just be earplug guy for the rest of my life anytime I go swimming? Am I gonna be that weirdo? And they're like, Yeah, probably. But hopefully, I had to do like a hearing test. Slim Pushins: You're the c you're gonna be the you're gonna be the cotton Corby Scherb: Hell yeah. Slim Pushins: you're gonna be the cotton in the ear, kid? Jim Gardner: Yeah. I had like this hearing test where they shove you in a booth and play dings and bings and it's like being in Atlantic City and passed that kinda with flying colors and but my left ear is is bad right now. So they tried to patch it up. We'll see if it took in a Slim Pushins: No more Italian jokes. Jim Gardner: couple of weeks. Slim Pushins: I've only just begun, Mike. Speaking of Mike Jim Gardner: I'll bet Mike Mike probably didn't do the burying, but he probably knows who where the shovels are. Slim Pushins: What was the hey, what was the term? What did you tell me earlier? Tefoya? Jim Gardner: To Fosi. Slim Pushins: What in what is Tefosi? Jim Gardner: It's that like the Italian word for fans or supporters, like the Ferrari fans are called the Tefosi when they go run Monza. Slim Pushins: That was a lot of foreign words. Corby's been there three times, broke a leg there once. Corby Scherb: What a cool racetrack. What a cool racetrack. No, I've never been there. Jim Gardner: So Yeah, so that'll be a right. Corby Scherb: I've played tons of IndyCar ra what F one Jim Gardner: Forza? Yeah. Corby Scherb: races and some Moto G P races there. Super cool place. Jim Gardner: Yeah. Anyway, good to have you on, Mike. Mike, I got my new Slim Pushins: Jim Mike. Jim, what had are we? Jim Gardner: got my new Mike Freery hat in. I got a couple of Slim Pushins: Look at that The MFer. Jim Gardner: I got one for for Kerbo. Mike, I got you a couple. Slim Pushins: I didn't want I didn't want red, Mike. I wanted black. I didn't want to stand out like Jim. Jim Gardner: I've got seventy-five black hats, so I got me an Italian red Mike Fieri Frieri MF hat. I also made you some shirts, Mike. I don't I actually Slim Pushins: We don't have you're not wearing it. We're not we don't have a picture of that. Jim Gardner: don't have one because I I came up with a couple good ideas today and made them. here's one, Corby. Corby Scherb: What Yeah yeah, I like that. Jim Gardner: And that's got copyright violations written all over it, but they can sue me. And so so this one's a little bit more subdued. And Slim Pushins: I like that one. Jim Gardner: so I I got a couple other ones, couple other ones for for Mike, a big supporter of us, and of racing. Slim Pushins: Can you make can you make a reflective one so that he can wear his own shirt on the infield? Jim Gardner: Yeah. that is a great question. Stand by. Keep talk amongst yourselves. Corby Scherb: Emila is better than Monza. That's just my opinion. Next question, back to you, Salem. Talking about racetrack Jim Gardner: Yeah. Slim Pushins: What? Back to you, Slim. Corby Scherb: talking about racetracks in Italy. Emila's cool, man. Slim Pushins: Do you know how many Do you know how many bones you've broken? Corby Scherb: I don't know. A couple. Just a few. I was pretty lucky, honestly. Slim Pushins: Who which one of the four of you have broken the most? Hold on, hold on. okay. Corby Scherb: Logan. Logan. Logan. Hands down. Most rods. Most surgeries. Logan, that poor thing, man. He'd touched the ground. He'd he'd touch his finger to the wall and just shattered a leg. Slim Pushins: So speaking of rods, Corby and I went well, together we went to big shots this weekend. I swung the club once. the legendary Jim Gardner: Power shank? Slim Pushins: Chad Wilson gr huh? Jim Gardner: Did you power shank it? Slim Pushins: Yeah. The legendary Chad Wilson and Mrs. Chad Wilson showed up. They graced us with their presence, but Wilson Wilson got up there to hammer a couple. And he's a good golfer. He's got the most messed up unfolding lawn chair swing. And I asked him, I was like, Hey, why do you swing like that? He says, 'Cause I can't straighten my back. I've got rods in my back. A lot of people don't know. Corby, tell everybody what did Wilson do before he got Corby Scherb: He raced quads. the same like I I know a lot of people we probably shouldn't say this, you know, in publicly, but like his hand stuff, he wasn't born that way. He got ran over by a motorcycle at Board Raceway of all places. I think we've told a little bit of that story, but he raced quads, for a long time and he was pretty good. He was also kinda like me and pretty good at getting hurt too, so You know, Slim Pushins: Bates is a little Bates is Jim Gardner: Uncle Chad. Slim Pushins: a little testy. Bates, we're gonna get to you and your accomplishments. Corby Scherb: chat well bait baits has a cool yeah, Bates has a cool plate in his collarbone and after his TMS crash, his Jim Gardner: Ha ha ha. Corby Scherb: wife walked out of the trailer and asked me to go in there and check it. You could you could see a giant strap mark there. It's cute. But didn't end up bending the plate. That's the biggest fear, like my Merle has broke. He's broke like his left collarbone three times, his right one four times or something like that. the biggest fear is putting getting a plate put in and then you bend that plate. Jim Gardner: Yeah, I remember Merle like laying under a car. Yeah. Yeah. Slim Pushins: Is that like cousin Eddie's Is that like the plate in Cousin Eddie's head? Corby Scherb: So Yeah, yeah, same. Jim Gardner: Yeah, I remember Merle getting like under a car to change the oil or something and like bent his arm improperly and the plate shifted or something and he was all out of sorts. Corby Scherb: Yeah, it's it's not good. Talk about stuff like that, sh huge huge Slim Pushins: You four boys are all messed up. Corby Scherb: shout out to Emery Leplant. She just went through a knee surgery. Hate that for ya, sweetheart. Hopefully you're on the road to recovery. Good luck with the knee stuff. Do the stretches. Please do the stretches. Slim Pushins: I talked to her I talked to her last night. I told her that, Corby. I talked to her for a little while last night. I was on the phone with the kid and we gotta pile up in Millbridge. It's bad. I talked to the kid a little while and in typical rider of the plant fashion he just left me on the phone, just handed his phone to his sister. But because there was a random pig that showed up in their shop that's not their pig. So I talked to Emory last night, for a little while. Jim Gardner: That's how I got my cat. Slim Pushins: Sh she's in good a cat's a big difference than a pig. Super trucker hit him in Jim Gardner: Ha ha ha Slim Pushins: the head with a shovel to run him off. But Emory Jim Gardner: Goodness gracious. Slim Pushins: Emory seemed like she was in good spirits. she's gonna be down and out for a while. She doesn't know if she's gonna be able to play sports anymore because I guess it's a recurring injury. So Corby Scherb: Yeah, that was the good thing about us and breaking bones and having surgeries and stuff like that. It wasn't super reliant outside of head injuries that they probably couldn't fix you or spinal cord stuff. typically you had about three weeks to get healthy, no matter your injury. You had about three weeks. If it was longer than three weeks you probably lost a ride. Slim Pushins: Corby, speaking of Bates and his his plate, have we never told that story. The whole story from T S and Corby Scherb: Him crashing on a motorcycle? That's how it happened, Slim Pushins: No. Bates Bates no, Bates is wrecked TMS when we thought it got dented. Corby and I were Corby Scherb: Yeah, Slim Pushins: on the side by side. Were we on Jim's side by side? Corby Scherb: Probably, probably. Slim Pushins: I think I think we were. Jim Gardner: Yes, Slim Pushins: That unit Jim Gardner: yes. Slim Pushins: that unit Jim Gardner: Yeah. Corby Scherb: Mm-hmm. On the unit of the mule. And we were sitting there Jim Gardner: Shocked. Corby Scherb: and I don't know, like I had I had I was watching Bates and he was ripping, he was running up front and I guess I had like looked away for like just a second. And I just I I looked back up and I I mean just going straight at the wall. Slim Pushins: That was one of the toughest licks I've seen in three five racing in a long time. Corby Scherb: Man, it the that stuff, it's it's not the the crash or the flips or any of that stuff that gets you, it's the abrupt stop. And concrete walls don't usually move much. And he no, he he tackled that thing. Slim Pushins: They didn't that night either. Corby I said, Corby, let's go. And he said, I don't they're not gonna let us out there. I said, Well we're not asking. We're just we're going out there. So Corby put that thing in whatever drive that Jim's got on that thing and we headed out there. And Bates was I mean, we got out there Jim Gardner: just like you didn't break down on the way, lose a wheel. Slim Pushins: We got out there Corby Scherb: Different story. Slim Pushins: There's a story Jim Gardner: Yeah. Slim Pushins: too. We got out there pretty quick. You th Corby, you think we were out there a minute within a minute of the car coming to rest? Corby Scherb: Yeah, yeah, and we'll we'll talk I wanna touch base on that too, you know, a lot of times, you know, the safety officials how quick that they are to to us racers. But we were there and you could tell like it's it's such a it's such an impact. And I don't care how safe you try to be, it's just it's the jar of your brain and the brain fluid that just makes you discombobulated. Slim Pushins: he was looping. We got there we got there. His helmet was sideways and his Corby Scherb: Yeah. Slim Pushins: the the shield was hanging off one side. Corby Scherb: And we I was talking to Martin Edwards and Martin was like, Did something break? and I was like, I don't know, man. I don't know, I didn't see it and Martin's like picking up, you know, steering arm, Slim Pushins: Rods. Corby Scherb: here you go. Here's here's a high, might want to keep that one, that's a keeper there. Slim Pushins: The fr front The front ride tire was I don't know, fifteen feet from the car. Corby Scherb: And Jim is just just devastated, like buckled at his knees, like his beauty of a car is just just in a ball of a mess. You know, Jim Gardner: I was just worried about my my buddy. Car we can build a car again, ain't no big deal. We got better ones now than that old beater. Corby Scherb: And yeah. Yeah, that's the same like my dad told you after you know, after Devil's Bowl, you were s pretty tore up about that one too. But man it's it's the Jim Gardner: Yeah. Well that was just my fault for being an idiot. Corby Scherb: the safety we talked earlier in the year about you know, car safety and the are these cars getting too rigid and it's it's still a lot of like I said, it's like our job and you know, there's there's times that we can be safer and you know We watch motorcycle races, flat track comes on flow now, so I know a lot of there's a bigger audience of people who get to see it and man I you just tip over and the kid compound fractured his right arm. You know, and then we watch the Springfield Mile, which is probably the most it is the favorite Jim Gardner: Yeah. Corby Scherb: race that Slim Pushins: Jeez. Corby Scherb: we race on motorcycles, and you watch these USAC cars just absolutely go for rides. And they stand up and walk away. Jim Gardner: There wa yeah. So this is Danny Jennings' car. The scary part about this is that he crashed with like three laps to go and then they just called the race. And that's never a good sign. when Corby Scherb: For sure. Jim Gardner: that happens. But I guess they were on like a time limit or it was getting dark. I know Arca was there too. Maybe they had a practice that was on TV or something, so they called the race and they were just like, All right, that's it from Springfield. And you usually think a lot of worse stuff has happened than that. You know, and then Danny walks away and he's doing an interview an hour later. Thank God. you know, that was a big lick and then I gotta pull this up Corby Scherb: First slap, man. Jim Gardner: the first lap deal. Hang on. Corby Scherb: Front front straightaway. Jim Gardner: Hang on, it's coming. Slim Pushins: I hope you have a better clip than the only one that I've seen 'cause it was so much dust you can't see anything. Corby Scherb: That was the problem and a lot of people complained Jim Gardner: No, I don't Corby Scherb: about the dust this year. Jim Gardner: Well, to to be fair, it's been dusty there for seventy five years to start the race. It's it it poured Corby Scherb: Absolutely. Absolutely. Jim Gardner: that morning. It was locked down and hammered down with a big curb for for qualifying. And guys just gotta give each other more space. They're going a hundred and fifty eight miles an hour. So I just have a couple of pictures I pulled. this one's live. Corby Scherb: Yeah. It's after he took the second lick there from the car. Slim Pushins: Damn! Jim Gardner: that one's live and Slim Pushins: That's a cool picture actually. Jim Gardner: Yeah, it depend depends on who you ask. I don't think Corby Scherb: that's a wall hanger. That's a wall hanger. Jim Gardner: I don't think that's going on my wall. And then Slim Pushins: Kudos to old Matt G. Jim Gardner: here's him getting out of the side of it, you know, 'cause the whole cage has collapsed and's halfway gone and stuff, but huge rides. I mean those guys are going so Kaylee Bryson had a post from like a whoop or you know a data collector or whatever and her fastest speed was a hundred and fifty eight miles an hour. And Slim Pushins: Super trucker said Danny's was a new car too. Jim Gardner: And when you're going that fast and you start hitting stuff, that's a lot of kinetic energy to that you have to dissipate. So those cars have to blow apart like that. That energy's got to go somewhere. So you know, it's it's it's it's tough to look at those frames. You know, Danny's car is brand new car and you know it's mangled, but it did what it's supposed to do. Both drivers, you know, got up and walked away. So big rides. at at Springfield. They go to DeCoy here in two weeks. they'll have another big Corby Scherb: Such a cool place. Jim Gardner: car count. And the the miles are a different ball game, man. Like I think USAC sprint cars at Terrehote might be the wildest thing I've ever seen or or at Winchester on the pavement. But I went to the last race at the Indy Mile before they ruined it. And the Silver Crown cars are are wild. They're they're really wild, and it seems to be like a lot of old timers Corby Scherb: Yeah. Jim Gardner: run that. Like a lot of sixty year old guys running the Silver Crown series. Corby Scherb: Like mm Gamster and stuff. Jim Gardner: Yeah, and they just this is his forty-seventh entry into the Betting Housing One hundred. You're like, damn it. He's been he's been running since nine Corby Scherb: Yeah. Would you do it though? I guess kinda like off topic there, but would you go stand on the guardrail at Springfield for the motorcycle race? Why? Jim Gardner: No, I don't wanna watch people get maimed. Corby Scherb: They got airbag suits nowadays. Slim Pushins: Yeah. Jim Gardner: no, you guys are Neanderthals, but anyway, that was Slim Pushins: Tony Nichols Tony Nichols said you should have seen Syracuse hit the mile. Corby Scherb: Syracuse would have been Jim Gardner: The Corby Scherb: cool too. Jim Gardner: yeah, so they ran they ran silver crowned Slim Pushins: Corby's Corby's been there too. Jim Gardner: cars there. They ran silver crown cars there for a while. Their you know, their big show was the modified, but they even ran like the world of outlaws ran there. yeah, Bates is posting USAC used to run midgets on the miles. Corby Scherb: yeah. That w I there's still a video on YouTube of a midget crash going into turn three and I mean unreal. Jim Gardner: Yeah. They USAC posted a couple videos, highlights of it last week, just gearing up for Springfield and it's like, I don't know, man. I don't know if I'd be running Ardmore in a midget, to be honest. Corby Scherb: I bet it would be wild, honestly. Like I like I said, I've rode miles, I've never drove a car like that. I I can't imagine just trying to make it go straight all the way down the back straight away there. Especially at Springfield and you you go over the riser there and then you go into turn three through the tunnel. I I bet it's wicked getting into turn three there in a car. Jim Gardner: Yeah, yeah. Well, like the the champ car that that final race at in Indy that I worked on, we ran like two inches of stagger. You know, Corby Scherb: Mm-hmm. Jim Gardner: like i if even that. And that was when the track was real heavy. When it gets locked down and starts taking rubber, you know, you're on an inch and a half of stagger or something like that. It's like, you know, the cars are wildly different. You you it's the same, but it's really different. It's like running a midget. At Chili Bowl or running running a sprint car at Devil's Bowl. They're they're the same, but you set them up and they're built to do it, you know. So anyway, good to see those guys walk away. Silver crown cars are cool. I mean, they got 75 gallon fuel cells. They're they're carrying when I we watched that crash here at the house, and I told Chelsea, I was like, that's a big lick. That's I mean, you're carrying 75 times six curvo. What is it? Go. Slim Pushins: A chameleon. Jim Gardner: Seventy f it's like four four hundred and fifty curbo. Four Slim Pushins: Damn house close. Jim Gardner: four hundred and fifty pounds of fuel behind that rear axle, you know. so when it goes flipping, that's a lot of mass and a lot of ballast and and you're carrying a lot of speed. That's a lot of kinetic energy. and these things have to dissipate. So anyway. that was that. But yeah. Corby Scherb: Talking about man, we'll we'll just we'll just stick to it, you know, like setup man like Jim, I'm gonna call you out here, buddy. what what has it taken this year to to make you just put the wrenches down and just go be a driver? Jim Gardner: doing it wrong Slim Pushins: He never put the wrenches down. Jim Gardner: four times in a row the wrong way. Corby Scherb: No, he did it. He let me put he let me block the car at Armour and you know, kept kept it real minimal on changing big things. Tinkering and then pulling bars out to put in reverse split across the front. Jim Gardner: we were I was tinkering with stuff down there. It was me and mm may not Corby Scherb: You know. I just I was just asking, you know, not to put you on the spot, but what did it take to Slim Pushins: Jim's Jim's got the yips at every race. Jim Gardner: Running bad. Running bad is what caused it Corby Scherb: Yeah. Jim Gardner: to to happen. So You know, it's been trial and error, trial and error, and then just getting back to, you know, our setup book from twenty twenty three and twenty twenty four. And you're like, all right, this works pretty good. Let's just stay here. and we've been all right. So we'll see. Slim Pushins: But but Corby Scherb: I just think that there's a lot of nights that like I I think that you've you've tried to beat it in me and my brother's heads and anyone else's heads that you've turned wrenches on is go give me your best. this is the race car that you got, go out there and race this. a lot of times it's up to to drivers and like I my biggest line whenever I'm turning wrenches on someone is be a fing race car driver. if it's not working on the top, try something different. Do something. You know, it's not always the guy in the pit area because Slim Pushins: There he goes editing editing himself again. Jim Gardner: Yeah. Corby Scherb: I'm gonna say this to you, Jimmy. How many times did a car you've turned a wrench on pull in the pits and you blamed it on the driver? Jim Gardner: Every time. Slim Pushins: What? What? Never one time have you ever blamed Corby Scherb: Mm-hmm. Slim Pushins: a driver. Jim Gardner: Yeah, I know. Dry Corby Scherb: I've hit four infill tires and I come in and Jim's like sorry dude, I gave you a shit shit car. Just a shit box. Jim Gardner: Driving's hard. I prove it every Saturday night. I'm gonna prove it this Saturday night at RPM Speedway. Watch me putt putt around the back or haul ass and then spin out and end up in the back. It's only one of the two two solutions. So but yeah. Slim Pushins: Corby, if you don't mute that T V, we're gonna get copyright rebroadcast Jim Gardner: Probably. Slim Pushins: violations. Corby Scherb: It's like four I can't even hear it. Jim Gardner: We can hear it. Running a professional show here. All right. Yeah, we're gonna I'm gonna have Dirt Vision emails from their lawyers tomorrow. Slim Pushins: Exactly. Jim Gardner: anyway. I'm looking over here. Wes is texting us pictures of that car from TMS like a jerk. Slim Pushins: Look, now it's all nice and quiet. I feel like I just got out of a race car. Jim Gardner: Yeah. Corby Scherb: It's never quiet when I had a race car. Jim Gardner: Yeah. Well my ears all tuned up too, so I'm extra sensitive. Slim Pushins: 'Cause of all the fans you have. Jim Gardner: Yeah. Corby Scherb: No, it's usually someone pissed off at me over a dumb move that I made. Probably Jim Gardner: Yeah. Corby Scherb: took out half the field. I did take out the entire Estes Slim Pushins: There you go. Corby Scherb: family one night. Jim Gardner: So Slim Pushins: Supertrucker said if it's got four wheels on it when it hits the track, it's all on the driver. Supertrucker, Corby Scherb: I agree. Slim Pushins: Supertrucker, you think you could talk to Jim for a while? Jim Gardner: Yeah. S spoken like a guy whose kid drives for him. man. yeah. So I don't feel bad I do feel bad for the little plants. They I meant to screen grab these, but they drove all the way to Memphis to the ditch in West Memphis, Arkansas to run a big three sixty race on Saturday and ends up getting rained out and the ditch is on the first exit. Slim Pushins: That's exactly what it is. Jim Gardner: It's I so when I first moved here, I was kind of living back and forth between Cincinnati and and and Dallas. And I drove back and forth 14 times one summer. And I just happened to be driving on a Saturday once. And so I was like rolling through Nashville or whatever. And I pulled up the the sprint car schedule at the ditch and they happened to be running. And so I pulled over and in and race fan for a night there. And let me tell you, it is a dump But it is a cool dump. And it is one exit inside the Arkansas state line from from the Mississippi River. And it is Slim Pushins: Yeah, it's right in it's it's on this side of the Mississippi River. Jim Gardner: underwater for three months out of the year every spring. And you just it kind of smells and it but it's an awesome little racetrack. And all day their their promoter is like on Facebook, no matter what, we're getting this show in. There's no way we're canceling. Get out to the ditch tonight. And then the next post says, we're canceled. You're like, what are you doing? Corby Scherb: Why? Slim Pushins: The kid last night I was like, All right kid, what what did you think about the ditch? And he goes, Kerbo, we didn't race. I was like, That's not what I was asking. I don't Jim Gardner: Ha ha Slim Pushins: know. I don't know, Kerbo. I slept and then I woke up and we unloaded and we talked for a little while and then we loaded back up and we left. It's like okay. I don't even know why I tried Jim Gardner: let me see if I Slim Pushins: to get information out of the kid. Jim Gardner: Yeah. Then they posted on Facebook six different times. We are rained out. Like, what are you guys doing here? Corby Scherb: Did anyone else try to stay up to watch sprint cars on the West Coast? Slim Pushins: No. Jim Gardner: Bro, I that's how I know I'm getting old. I didn't make an A main all week. No. Slim Pushins: You didn't? Corby Scherb: High limits is running like three o'clock in the afternoon. Slim Pushins: Jim, we need more out of you. Jim Gardner: I mean that part's great, you know? Corby Scherb: Yeah, for sure. Slim Pushins: You're the you're the linchpin of this podcast. Jim Gardner: Yeah. Slim Pushins: We need more out of you than that. Jim Gardner: Yeah, I don't think I got to an A main all all week, which was just brutal. You know, caught the highlights, but Yeah, I mean it's nice to just kinda get off work and be making dinner and queue up in you know, hot laps kind of starts late and stuff like that. And Yeah, it Slim Pushins: Super Trucker said it was raining, he was on the PA saying not to leave, we're racin. Five minutes later, we're rained out. Jim Gardner: Yeah. So he here's The Facebook post and says so this came from the man himself and ASC as we are getting this show in tonight no matter what. Update. Rained out. What do you what are you guys doing? Why is like Slim Pushins: Lo load your friends and family and come out. It's gonna be a great show. John Jim Mills. Jim Mills said this post didn't age well. Jim Gardner: Well, and then there's t two other Facebook posts, probably them tired of telling people they're rained out. I mean the rain sucks. You know, Shane Carson used to pro promote races up in Oklahoma and stuff, and he would tell me you could do everything right and and you know the weather would be the only thing that mattered, and that's what you can't control. And and you know, but we we talk on here all the time about tracks and officials putting themselves in a good spot. so that they can, you know, be consistent. And then the race promoter is like, don't post stuff like that. Like it that only ends badly. You know, even if you get that show in, like the potential for having to have that kind of egg on your face. I don't what are you thinking? Like, I understand you're you're trying to have a big race and get people out there, but trust me, nobody's sitting at home and driving distance going, I don't think it's gonna come. It looks like it's gonna rain. You know. Corby Scherb: They're just as good at reading the radar as everyone else. Jim Gardner: Yeah. Slim Pushins: Better. Jim Gardner: Exactly. So hate that for our three sixty compadres that got to toast six hours that way to watch it rain. Hopefully they didn't have their stuff out. 'cause that's always a fun load up and wash day. when you have to power spray the inside of the trailer too. So anyway, that was the ditch. The four ten stuff wasn't wildly compelling. Rico's crashed every night out west, I saw, and he gave up the points lead to Reitzel. Slim Pushins: Power I show was good. I saw the power I show. Jim Gardner: I don't have a start to finish account. Do you? Can I start using yours? To watch highlights, Slim Pushins: No. Jim Gardner: Kerbo? Slim Pushins: No. Corby's got one. You can you would he would be more than happy. I did too. Corby Scherb: I forgot to delete it. Jim Gardner: from what, like TMS? Corby Scherb: No, yeah, watching Bates Slim Pushins: No, watching Corby Scherb: at TMS. Yeah, that's where it came from. 'Cause I had it the year before Jim Gardner: Yeah. Corby Scherb: maybe maybe it was Bates again the year before at TMS or something. I don't know and I'd cancelled it and then I tried to log back in and so I got it and then somehow didn't even get to use it Saturday night because you ended up in the seat, not him, and so I had to go to the racetrack. Jim Gardner: Yeah. yeah, the power ideal that that's not Corby Scherb: I'll see you later, Kerbo. Just just live your own life, buddy. Slim Pushins: I can still hear you. Jim Gardner: You could I mean the power eye stuff is big time racing in the Midwest now. I mean, they're paying a big point fund. They come here at the end of the year in like November to finish off their season again. Corby Scherb: Yep. Jim Gardner: I think I think it's like fifty grand to win that point steal. I mean, they got big middle states flyover flyover states racing Corby Scherb: Mm-hmm. Jim Gardner: in, you know, Missouri, Oklahoma, Kansas, and in in the plains. So yeah. Corby Scherb: Lucasol, they raised the Lucasol Speedway, such a cool place. I I know that they're getting a lot of flack abo over the the dirt right now, but it just just absolutely beautiful there. One of the nicest facilities Jim Gardner: Yeah, it's probably Corby Scherb: we have. Jim Gardner: probably second to Lawrenceburg, my home track, the best track in the country. But anyway Corby Scherb: Here we go. Then Slim Pushins: There it is. Corby Scherb: hold a candle to Springfield Mall. Don't hold a candle. Jim Gardner: That's right. I don't know about that. I've not been to Springfield. I've been to DeCoy. The little track, the mini magic mile there in D Corby Scherb: Mm-hmm. Jim Gardner: in in Decoyne. But Corby Scherb: De Coin's different man. DeCoin's kind of secluded. Springfield is is truly like it's a fairgrounds. It's right in the middle of town. Springfield's the capital. I mean, Abraham Lincoln was born there. I can go on and on over history of Springfield. Like some of our biggest sponsors forever Jim Gardner: Ha Corby Scherb: were from there. Hall's Hall's Husqavarna is is based in Springfield, Illinois. Jay Hall and his wife Tammy Hall always took great care of us. Great people. if I didn't have to live in Texas, because I love living in Texas, I'd probably move to Springfield. Slim Pushins: Wow. There you go folks. There's the truth. Jim Gardner: Ha ha ha. Slim Pushins: Corby Corby Sherb hates Texas. Corby Scherb: It's a cool place, man. No man. There's a lot of cool racetracks in Peoria. Or in Illinois. Slim Pushins: Jim Jim, let's see your happy dads. What what flavor are we drinking tonight? Jim Gardner: yeah. I went with the Death Row Records Grape, which is a brand crossover. I don't understand, but my Slim Pushins: Death Row Grape? Jim Gardner: my wife was not a fan of the flavor of the grape. She likes the fruit punch that Jeb likes. they all kind of taste the same. They're just like white claws or truly's. They all taste the same. So Corby Scherb: They're lethal. Lethal. Jim Gardner: but yeah, I got it simply for For it to say death row records. So Corby Scherb: See you a rocker tonight. Jim Gardner: yeah. I don't think you know what death row records is, Corby. Corby Scherb: Here we go. Slim Pushins: Don't listen, I will I I've learned I will test Corby and Corby's knowledge in all but two things on earth. One of them is racetracks, because there's a thousand percent chance that he's been it. I will never ever go to a racetrack that Corby's never been to. For one. Corby Scherb: That's not true. Slim Pushins: And two is music. Corby Scherb: I like my music. All music. From all genres, all No, it's not just that, man. you know, grew up a punk rocker. Slim Pushins: Corby actually does Corby on all the road trips, I gotta hand it to Corby, as much of an asshole as he is, I gotta hand it to him. He allowed me we there was a happy medium in music on every road trip that we've ever taken. Logan, there you go. Corby Scherb: No, not that stupid song. Jim Gardner: Ha Slim Pushins: I don't know what you have against that song. I could understand Corby Scherb: It's terrible. Slim Pushins: J no, I could understand Jim not liking it 'cause we listened to it thirty five times on the way to Tulsa one time. Jim Gardner: Yeah, in in Warhurst R V that Slim Pushins: And he was just grinning the whole way. Jim Gardner: was not roadworthy. Corby Scherb: Yeah. Slim Pushins: You know hey, you know what you know what we listened you know what we had more than thirty five times? Animals inside that R V. Corby Scherb: yeah. Jim Gardner: Yeah, we had pigs. Do they have the pigs yet? No, they just had the little proctologist dog. Yeah. God. That that Slim Pushins: we were they were between pigs. Well, they were between road pigs. They had pigs at the house. Jim Gardner: that'll be good filler podcast material for December and January leading up to Chili Bowl. The Slim Pushins: Alright Corby. James Horton's testing you. Dexter and the moon rocks. Corby Scherb: Man, I don't the name sounds familiar, but not the band. I don't know, I'd have to look it up. Jim Gardner: Wow. James James sent me an email. He finally got his an order from of T shirts and he said he went to Kennad Slim Pushins: Here you go, Jim. Jim Gardner: he said he went to Kennedale and had himself two corn dogs on Saturday. Corby Scherb: Yes, Coi, we're making it happen. Slim Pushins: yeah. I I didn't remind you I but we probably don't have that picture. Jim Gardner: And he said they're quote pretty good and I'm you know. Slim Pushins: He gave us I made him rate him. He gave he gave the KSP corndog an eight. Jim Gardner: I'd like to know what your ten is, sir. Slim Pushins: I gave it I gave my last one. I huh? Jim Gardner: I'd like to know what his ten is if that corn Kennadale corn dog's an eight, because it looks like a good one. Slim Pushins: Well Corby Scherb: Here we go. Here we go. Slim Pushins: Corby Jim's new to Texas, so corn dogs are new for him. Jim Gardner: If fr Look, I've been eating corn dogs since you were in diapers, boy. Corby Scherb: If I'm gonna do something like that, I'm just gonna eat a chili dog. Jim Gardner: Gross. n first of all we call Corby Scherb: Not that skyline chili stuff or whatever you guys claim. Slim Pushins: Look at that. Look at this look at this full circle moment. Coi Pennington, Dexter and the Moon Rocks bought a trailer for me and they're using to tour Corby Scherb: That's red. Slim Pushins: out of he said James Jim Gardner: I don't know who they are. Slim Pushins: Horton said they were pretty good corn dogs. He bought the last one Saturday. Which Jim Gardner: Mm mm. Slim Pushins: either means he was there late with Brewer or they ran out early. Jim Gardner: Yeah. Probably 'cause of all the extra all the extra publicity they're getting about Slim Pushins: Did we? Corby Scherb: So what do we do? We we're name dropping right now. So Dexter of the Moon Rocks is a newer band, I guess based out of Haviline. You know, I mean I got like a third cousin that's in a pre rad rock band, Nerve. If you ever guys wanna look up them, N E R V, Nerv. Jordan Grocett. No, we don't wanna go down music history right now for name dropping people. Jim Gardner: Doesn't doesn't ring any bells. Corby Scherb: Well, that's because you don't listen to music. You listen to like sports radio Jim Gardner: I just listened to the ticket. Corby Scherb: and Jim Gardner: That's right. Thirteen ten. Corby Scherb: God, I'd rather just test the durability of a ceiling fan. Slim Pushins: Jimmy, what is this? Tony spends Tony spends twenty minutes with you and your dad and you have absolutely fumbuzzled this guy. Jim Gardner: Nice to Tony. If you're coming to RPM on Saturday, Tony, come down to the trailer. Maybe mom will Slim Pushins: No, no, he said. Jim Gardner: work up some chili dog some cheese conies. That actually let me make a note of that. Corby Scherb: It is way too warm to be eating chili dodge right now. Slim Pushins: Yes, Jim. Look, he's just Hey Jim. Corby Scherb: I can do all things through Christ. Go ahead and jot that down. Slim Pushins: Jim, are you writing down that down on your notepad wallet? Jim Gardner: Yep, that's right. No, not in my wallet. Yeah, I got it. Yeah, of course, always. Corby Scherb: She still got it? The noped wallet? We're walking around Slim Pushins: Do you still have it? Where is it? Corby Scherb: the shop. We're walking around the shop, but everyone else is like twelve beers deep. Jim won't touch a beer because they're working on a car and just flips out the noped. Jim Gardner: That's right. Slim Pushins: Jim uses that notepad like a yardage book for a PGA touring pro. Corby Scherb: For sure. Wesley's Wesley's great about taking notes too, man. Like before you ever make an adjustment you gotta tell him what you're doing so he can go and jot it down and I'm like, I don't even know what Jim Gardner: I tried Corby Scherb: I'm doing. I'm just trying. Slim Pushins: Wes's notes Jim Gardner: I tried Slim Pushins: and Jim's notes are a different level of note. Like Jim could Jim Gardner: Not anymore. Corby Scherb: Jim Slim Pushins: take a note I've been with Jim in the middle of of like a concert and he'll just whip. Corby Scherb: Fake something up. Slim Pushins: Yes. Jim Gardner: And sometimes that's where I get my best ideas. You gotta jot down. Corby Scherb: And Wesley we we're they're running the feature, Wesy just at him looks at me and you're stupid. You don't know what you're talking about. sorry man. Sorry dude. Just trying. Slim Pushins: Jim, if you had Jim Gardner: Mm. Slim Pushins: if you'd get rid of that subpar phone of yours, the iPhones have a nice note feature. Jim Gardner: I've got, first of all, I've got a stylus, and I can take notes on my phone anytime. Slim Pushins: That is the old most old man comment. Jim Gardner: So Corby Scherb: He is, he's the oldest young guy that I know. Slim Pushins: Then that's a fact. Look at him, he wears it with a badge of honor. Jim Gardner: Yeah, that's I'm beginning to accept that more and more daily. So it is what it is. Slim Pushins: What hey, do you have your do you have your wallet notepad with you right there? I'm curious I Jim Gardner: No, it's inside. Slim Pushins: Do you know what the do you know what the last note that you took was? I'm just curious. Jim Gardner: No. It pr it'd probably be something from work. Yeah. Shopping Slim Pushins: Like baby food? Jim Gardner: list. Something from work. Bars and blocks and shop numbers from Ardmore. I mean it could be anything. Slim Pushins: How often do you have to do you keep the notes when you fill it up? Do you put in a file? You throw away? Jim Gardner: No. No, they're just temporary. Yeah. They're just temporary. So they're either two do's or then they get put in a different set of notes or or whatever, like Slim Pushins: Nut. Corby Scherb: So you gotta write it down twice? Jim Gardner: Yeah. Slim Pushins: Priority notes? Jim Gardner: Write it down twice and you won't forget it. Corby Scherb: So like Brooklyn's big right now, like she wants to take notes, like if we're gonna go grocery shopping, she wants notes. So I go grocery shopping every Sunday, right? And I walk into the Walmart indicator, just like I have for the last thirty years that I've walked in there, and I walk in, take a right, I walk all the way down that way, hang a left, go all the way down, just make a whole loop. Guarantee you by the time I make it to the register, you turn. Turn around, go back, grab something, probably make it yep, back again. Notes are Slim Pushins: Yeah. Corby Scherb: just not it for me, buddy. They just don't work. Jim Gardner: okay. That's a really Corby Scherb: I'd rather just get my steps in. Slim Pushins: Bates wants Jim Gardner: inefficient use of time and I don't have the luxury of wasting mine. Slim Pushins: See, you knew, Corby, I'm okay with that. Jim thinks of me and you for that matter, what he's gonna think, and there's no changing it. We are who we are. Jim Gardner: I'll tell you the last bit of notes in that notebook is the fittings I Slim Pushins: Here we go. Jim Gardner: need to order for my midget fuel system. Slim Pushins: D would that be a note that goes that that gets prioritized into the n into the additional notebook? Jim Gardner: Yes, into the midget build sheet. Yeah. Corby Scherb: So got like separate Slim Pushins: Okay. Corby Scherb: notebooks for like per said thing, like to-dos, like you got like a do you got a whiteboard inside the No, Slim Pushins: No not wallet there's only one wallet notebook. Corby Scherb: do you got like a whiteboard inside the kitchen? Go ahead and jot that one down. No? Jim Gardner: No, 'cause I would just write it in my notebook. Slim Pushins: Have you ever gotten up in the Corby Scherb: How how many notebooks do you still have? Jim Gardner: In my wallet. Slim Pushins: Have you ever gotten up in the middle of the night to grab said wallet notebook? Jim Gardner: Yes. yeah. Absolutely. Corby Scherb: I like Wesley's comment there. The old skyline chili there, little five hundred. She can't get in the bond. I'm telling you man, Kennedell KSP Jim Gardner: West a no ball. Corby Scherb: KSP did the greatest move there ever was and putting a porta shitter right in the middle of the infield. That is the move. That is the move. Slim Pushins: Boyd has one too. Tracks that allow us to watch the features from the infield that have a porta potty or next level. Corby Scherb: I I I'm there. You just don't know. Slim Pushins: S Super Trunker wants to know if you have small notes for a midget. Jim Gardner: I write very yeah. Many many Slim Pushins: And Bates Jim Gardner: ones. Slim Pushins: Bates wants to know Ask him about when he lost his white notebook. Jim Gardner: Yeah, I couldn't find my big white setup the the the the Bible basically. because after Bates got DQ'd, I threw it in the trailer angrily and stormed out and I guess sheets and it was destroyed and under you know, that's not the clut the cleanest, most organized trailer, Corby Scherb: Yeah. Jim Gardner: and then I couldn't find it for about a month and it was not good. so Slim Pushins: Jim was Jim didn't talk Jim went off the grid for a couple of days after that. Jim Gardner: I was pretty fired up about I was pretty upset with myself at that. So but yeah. No, I got wallet notebook. Slim Pushins: Corby, would that be a situation where he should have blamed the driver, or is that on Jim? Corby Scherb: That one's on Jim. That one is. That that's every Jim Gardner: No, that was my fault. That was a hundred percent my fault. Slim Pushins: Okay. Corby Scherb: other that's every other friend that walked by the car and didn't notice and say something. It was on a collective soul of about a hundred people who probably saw it and didn't think anything of it 'cause there's there is people who run turnbacks like they have how the spuds got welded on were rolled forward on the torsion arms or the torsion rack, and so they have to run turnbacks anyways, and you just Who knows? Jim Gardner: Yeah. Well w the next time we went there I was sitting there and in the lineup shoot before the main event and looked over at not Joe Bob Lee, but it car kind of looks like that. It's yellow. Corby Scherb: Joe Woods Junior? No, Joe Bupl Jim Gardner: No, it's from Tulsa. They got Corby Scherb: Yeah. Jim Gardner: they got the fifty two car. Yeah. Slim Pushins: can we hear can we hear the song again real quick from Tulsa? Just hit there it is. See? The song Jim Gardner: Hayden Mabe. Hayden Mabe was the name. And Corby Scherb: There you go, Hayden May. There you go. Has the the Blake Hawn look alike? The Blake Hawn look alike. Jim Gardner: I and Yeah, we and we like rolled right up next to him. And I went the dad was like adjusting the car. I was like, hey, by the way, you're gonna get popped for a nose wing. They're like, Whoa, we just got it checked last week. And I was like, I don't know where you got it checked, but not here, and that's gonna be illegal. I'm telling you. I wish I'd have seen it, you know, seen it earlier, I would have let you know. He's like, we just won't run fifth then. And then they ran fifth and got thrown out. So Slim Pushins: Corby, you been to Houston? You use those porta potties? I know you're fond of porta potties. Corby Scherb: I've never been there. I've never been there. But yeah, I I'm telling you though Abilene wins. But the pink ones, Abilene's got it. You gotta know where they are, buddy. Can't get to bind. No Slim Pushins: Back. Back to you, Slim. Corby Scherb: problem, buddy. You should probably ask like where's more like port a pots rather than just the racetracks I've been to, 'cause I probably used up all of Slim Pushins: You ever used a bucket? Corby Scherb: I've used a tree. I could wrap the seatbelt around at this point. Hang on. Slim Pushins: Jim, forty three minutes forty three minutes and fifty eight seconds. That's going straight to the TikTok. Corby Scherb: We're doing it right now. Because Lowe's Lowe's is the greatest. They have they Jim Gardner: We can Corby Scherb: have the stall on the end that is not the handicapped stall. And it's got the power bars. That's the move. Slim Pushins: What's going through your head right now, Jim? Jim Gardner: I am Slim Pushins: This is this what you signed up for? Jim Gardner: Yes, I I I guess I saw it coming. I am just terrified for our next weekend without racing. Slim Pushins: Does this scare you? Ryder wants Ry Ryder wants to know Jim Gardner: Yeah, like Corby Scherb: We got a lot to talk about, you know, Slim Pushins: if Corby would have hit the pistol at Houston's like he hits tractor tires. Corby Scherb: No problem. No problem. Jim Gardner: Like I I'm a little worried about our show that's gonna air on October the sixth because there's no racing the weekend before that and it's gonna be Corby's porta potty power rankings. Slim Pushins: Ooh. Twenty twenty seven Porta potty power rankings. That's a J Jim, put put that down in your wallet notebook. We're gonna do that. Corby's Porta Potty power rankings. Jim Gardner: it's gonna be terrible. The off season the off season is gonna Corby Scherb: Yeah. Jot that one down for us. Jim Gardner: wear me thin. Slim Pushins: We've got some good ideas for off Jim Gardner: With nonsense. Slim Pushins: season. Jim Gardner: Like Jeb. Jeb is kicking around going to Nationals. He's like, man, we could ride up. I gotta come back a day early, but if we won't ride up, we can. And I'm sitting there thinking, what would eight hours riding in the car with Jeb look like for me in terms of conversation? And I Slim Pushins: It's not bad. It's actually very enlightening. Corby Scherb: It would be great. It would be great 'cause you know, like you'll you'll learn a lot. the the Slim Pushins: Jim, your level of education, like your level of smarts and j and his level of smarts are equal, but light years different. Corby Scherb: For sure. I I would love to I would honestly love like a twelve hour ride with Joe. J just Jim Gardner: Ha ha Corby Scherb: just take it in and especially if Jimmy was there to like fact check us the whole time and just be able to talk back Jim Gardner: Yeah. I'm gonna run out of Corby Scherb: and forth and yeah. Slim Pushins: Jim just back there just back there on his laptop. That's not true, Jim Gardner: I'm gonna r run Slim Pushins: Jim. Jim Gardner: out of data service on my phone and looking it up. Corby Scherb: It would it would be good if Jebby, we gotta do that man. Like we gotta just jump in a truck and just maybe maybe Jim Gardner: Yeah. Corby Scherb: just like cruise around the Metroplex or something. Like we could probably turn into like a two hour ride. Maybe we could do like a live on the road. Jim Gardner: I know where we can go. You know where we ought to go? Corby Scherb: Here we go. Slim Pushins: Let's do that, Corby. Jim Gardner: Ha ha ha Corby Scherb: Here we go. Slim Pushins: Corby and I Corby and I have been in Tulsa together probably a dozen times and I don't think we've ever ridden to Tulsa together, have we? Corby Scherb: I don't think so. No, super trucker, I'm not. Jim Gardner: Yeah. Now Kerba we Kerba and I got lost on our first trip up to Tulsa. The first time I let Kerb we got turned around on the turnpike Slim Pushins: Yeah, at like three o'clock in the morning. All I heard was dueling banjos. Jim Gardner: n north of Durant somewhere. I kept seeing s like these signs of towns and I'm like, Where have I heard of this town before? And it was like on a Netflix murder mystery documentary from the eighties where the the sheriff was in on it and you know. It's unsolved, quote unquote. And I was like, Kerba, we gotta get the hell out of here now. Corby Scherb: Tulsa' rough, man. Jim Gardner: man. Slim Pushins: All right. We've got people lined up wanting to go to Tulsa with us. Let's take a bus. Let's do a Corby Scherb: They're from there, they're from up there. Slim Pushins: let's well, we'll do a push in Jim Gardner: Party. Slim Pushins: the cushion bus. Corby Scherb: You if we had her dad, Brandy, up there to for him to tell some of his stories, it's worth it. In the cart rides. Jim Gardner: I'll bet you could I I'll bet you could charter a bus from like Wednesday to Saturday up to Tulsa. A nice limo service. Corby Scherb: And Jib just stand up there with a microphone, egg telling us about the world. Slim Pushins: Yes. Chemtrails. Jim Gardner: God. Slim Pushins: The pyramids, JFK, Titanic. Jim Gardner: Did you see all the chem all the chemtrails Corby Scherb: All of it. Jim Gardner: coming off of the sprint cars at Knoxville after the rain last week? Slim Pushins: Hey, speaking of Corby Scherb: you're talking about Kim Tro? Slim Pushins: speaking of chemtrails, I was looking this big Palo Pinto fire. the news said that they they were using cloud seeding to try to to try to make rain, which would be awesome. Corby Scherb: Look at Jimmy's just biting his lip right now, there's no way. Slim Pushins: Jim, do they cloud seed? Jim Gardner: I don't know. I don't know. Slim Pushins: That's what you're going? Corby Scherb: It's wild, it's wild that we had the two hottest days of the year and then wildfires break out and then all of a sudden it just rains. I know. I know Randy is. He's ready. Slim Pushins: Corby, are you ready? Corby Scherb: I'm ready for some rainy stories. I stay ready. Then I gotta get Slim Pushins: No no, are you ready? Why? Corby Scherb: like that. Jim Gardner: Yeah. Jesus. Slim Pushins: Jim, we're forty eight minutes into the show. How many minutes were we in before you just regretted ever talking me into doing a podcast? Two minutes? Jim Gardner: Two. It seemed like a fun Slim Pushins: All right, speak it Jim Gardner: t Tuesday night thing for us to all do and get together, and then I realized Corby Scherb: It'd be cool man. Next week's show it'll be good, man. We're we're sizing up for nationals. I'm gonna give a shout out too, 'cause I know that neither one of y'all will. You know, Kensington said that supernationals is coming up too. Are we gonna recap any of that, Jim? Jim Gardner: Mud turtle stuff? Corby Scherb: Yeah. Jim Gardner: I guess we can. I mean w I I I Slim Pushins: Be careful. Be careful. I don't kin Corby Scherb: no the Slim Pushins: kin's Corby Scherb: three or five nationals coming up man and it it's gonna be big, man. We Slim Pushins: Kensington Corby Scherb: guess Slim Pushins: Kensington doesn't have your number, Jim, so whatever you say here is gonna reflect on the two of us. Jim Gardner: Uh-huh. I'm in I'm in for big Slim Pushins: So be careful. Jim Gardner: time big time door slamming races. Slim Pushins: I saw I saw a post earlier that Corby Scherb: Race at Boone, man. Slim Pushins: I saw Aaron Reitzel's gonna run the dome this year. Jim Gardner: Yeah. Corby Scherb: Yeah. Jim Gardner: Wes is going. Wes is all excited. He's been wanting to go to the dome for five years. But it's too close to chili bowl time for me. So Slim Pushins: So you're not going you're not gonna go with Wes? Jim Gardner: no. Slim Pushins: You're gonna you're gonna you're gonna be worried about your midget and your mini notes? Jim Gardner: That's correct. That's correct. The midget right now is about six weeks behind schedule of where it probably should be, but Slim Pushins: It's unacceptable. Corby Scherb: I'm gonna ask all the the Jim Gardner: but we'll be there. Corby Scherb: the local Texas drivers, man, like make sure that you let us know that you're going. give you good guys a good shout out for next week, headed to Through Five Nationals. Jim Gardner: Yeah, I so they don't post an entry list. but Corby Scherb: Right. Jim Gardner: they have like done individual posts of who's entered, which is great, like instead of just making one list of showing everybody. but maybe we could do a little push in the cushion wagering next week. Corby Scherb: Okay. Jim Gardner: Maybe just find out the Texas guy's going. Slim Pushins: On on three five Nationals? Jim Gardner: Yeah. Find out the Texas guys going, break them into groups, and then just a wild card of of non Texans. Yeah. Slim Pushins: And then just over analyze it and over algorithm it put in a spreadsheet that none of us will understand. Jim Gardner: I could. Just some Corby Scherb: Well Ryder and Braxton fall into the the non Texans that still can are w do we consider them Texans? Locals Jim Gardner: Yes. Corby Scherb: at least? Jim Gardner: Yeah. yeah, maybe I'll try we'll we'll kinda see how the weekend goes. I I just made the decision that I'm gonna go to RPM, so that might wreck all those nationals plans, but Corby Scherb: I heard there's some some some older dude that still rips. He's supposed to race this weekend is what I heard. I don't know. Not trying to, you know, like stir Jim Gardner: I don't know if we can make that official. Corby Scherb: the pot or anything, but Jim Gardner: I don't know that we can break somebody else's news that I don't you know, I don't know if they have Corby Scherb: We'll see. Jim Gardner: a professional press release coming out, but I do hear that the competition will be fierce. Slim Pushins: Stiff. Jim Gardner: Down down there at RPM, yeah, for the last tune up. Slim Pushins: I'm gonna try to get on the receiver if I go. Jim Gardner: I Slim Pushins: I wanna be in Jim's ear. Nothing would piss Jim Gardner: I I'm a Slim Pushins: Jimmy off more than hearing my voice under caution. Jim Gardner: I'll just unplug it like I had to back in the day when they first came out. because guys would talk under green and I can't handle that. So Slim Pushins: So Coy keeps talking about trying to get me in some sort of a grocery getter. Jim, you've got Jim's got some Corby Scherb: It's happened. Slim Pushins: Jim's got a couple of videos. This is it's not gonna happen. This video these Corby Scherb: It's happening. It's happening, man. We're getting you in. We're we're putting you in a race curve mode. Like you just gotta experience it once. Jim Gardner: Yeah, so I I got it. So for a little backstory. Slim Pushins: these two videos are the reason that that's never gonna happen. Jim Gardner: I I got I got it. So a little backstory. The first time I met Kerbo was at Texas Motor Speedway on Pitt Road and he is you know just coming out and I had just moved down here and guys are like, Yeah, my buddy Kerbo's coming and you know, and he's gonna go for a ride. And I was like, All right, let's go. He's like, You think you can get him in the window? I was Yeah, we can get him in. We're good to go. and I I this guy's Slim Pushins: Corby. Jim Gardner: name's Alex Chubb. Alex Chubb, I Slim Pushins: Corby? Jim Gardner: think he's an arca guy. Slim Pushins: Look at this guy. His buddies are laughing at him. Corby Scherb: He says you're gonna get a million views. Jim Gardner: That's up. Slim Pushins: His buddies are laughing at him. Jim Gardner: Like the Slim Pushins: Ha ha. Jim Gardner: f Flashes the bird. Corby Scherb: Little California hello. Jim Gardner: Yeah. I I I Man, why you gotta pick that color fire suit? Like I am kind of due for a new fire suit and I'm only getting black. Slim Pushins: This is why I'm never I'm not racing. I don't care what y'all say. I don't know if black is that slimming. Jim Gardner: And well you get a blue like remember that blue one I wore with sherbs that just made me look like the girl from Willy Wonka? Slim Pushins: Yeah. Yeah. Violet? Jim Gardner: And man, yeah. And that's a large man. So I have concerns about if he can get out if that thing catches fire. Slim Pushins: I had concerns when you took me for a ride on the speedway. Jim Gardner: Well we're yeah, we're not racing though. You know, that is very, very controlled. Corby Scherb: I watched a waddem up this year at TMS. Slim Pushins: Look at him getting out, Jim Gardner: Well Slim Pushins: Corby. What one, two Look his hat falls off. Corby Scherb: This is why I stay ready. This is why. Right here, this is why I stay ready. Hold on, pop the belly out. Pink. There we go. Hey buddy, don't worry about it. Just like I told Kerbo, like we're in this together, buddy, we're fat brothers, so I'm I'm with ya. I'm Slim Pushins: Corby, stop saying that. Corby Scherb: a huge huge fan. Slim Pushins: We're not Jim Gardner: Yeah. Slim Pushins: fat brothers. Club Racing Inc. I every time I look at that I just wanna see Chubb Racing Inc. Look at this. Jim Gardner: So I have I have a bigger worry about the DOT motorcycle helmet he's also wearing. Like Corby Scherb: for sure. Slim Pushins: That he got it like the Harley Davidson shop. Corby Scherb: Wonder how that thing passed tech. Bink. Jim Gardner: Yeah it came from a pawn shop. I don't know. I mean it sounds it's Corby Scherb: Spend all that money on a custom fire suit man, you can't even put a a skid lid on ya that's worth anything. Slim Pushins: Look at him, it it undid his belt, it's all on Velcroed. Listen, y'all can kiss my ass. I'm not getting in a race car. Jim Gardner: We want you in a super trooper so bad down there at Big O if they ever race. Corby Scherb: Dude, dude, we can put you in there, man. We can do Slim Pushins: No. Corby Scherb: it. We can do it. We can make this happen. Jim Gardner: Kerba curba won't even get in my Prius. Well spl split costs. Corby Scherb: We could do it like this and you got two choices. One, you can agree to do it, or two, you're going on a workout plan this winter. You got your two choices right Jim Gardner: I Corby Scherb: now. Jim Gardner: I I will give that big man credit. At least he didn't Slim Pushins: Neither am I. Jim Gardner: opt for the two piece fire suit. Slim Pushins: That's all they had. I had a two piece fire suit. you talking about this guy? Jim Gardner: Yeah, no, but but this this guy's got a two f got a single Corby Scherb: Easy, Kerbo, easy, buddy. Jim Gardner: got the jumpsuit on. Slim Pushins: No, when I when I met Jim for the first time, that's all. They asked me, they're You gonna ride? And I was like, If you think you can butter my ass into that cup car Corby Scherb: You gotta do it, man, Slim Pushins: Fifty s Corby Scherb: you gotta race. Jim Gardner: It was fine. Slim Pushins: fifty six minutes even, Jim. Jim Gardner: So this is this is a video from New Slim Pushins: this was Jim Gardner: Smyrna. I don't know how old this is, but this came across my feed the other day. And I mean just dis just destroying stuff. Slim Pushins: The guy in black does this Is this the whole video when he goes to his pit? Jim Gardner: Yeah, yeah, don't spoil it, Kerbo. I mean here he's just ravages him with some nasty hooks. Whap, whap, whap. Slim Pushins: BAM! BAM! Jim Gardner: One twos. Corby Scherb: But I hope he had his shield up. Slim Pushins: That's so that's so unfair Jim Gardner: Yeah. Slim Pushins: to Jim Gardner: Yeah. yeah. And then this Slim Pushins: Look at this. Jim Gardner: this is the only reason I'm showing it. First of all, that's about a twelve thousand dollar toolbox. Just tipped it over. Corby Scherb: And you done next. Jim Gardner: And honestly, I'm gonna play that again. Honestly, that's the move because to tip that thing back over, you might be taking all the tools out of that. Might be a couple hour process. Slim Pushins: Jim, I know how you pack Corby Scherb: Order a skytrack. Jim Gardner: I don't know that Slim Pushins: I know how you pack your toolbox. Jim Gardner: I don't know that they can find four guys to deadlift that thing off the ground and rotate it back up, but maybe I'm wrong. But yeah, I don't know how recent this is or if it's from Speed Weeks in February, but it just came across and yeah, I mean stock car guys fighting, you know, just today's another day that ends in why. I mean but the the pit box Slim Pushins: Dude, this is some Jim Gardner: the pit box tip is a is a cool move. I get it. Corby Scherb: You think that's the move? That's the one? Like that that's just like the Jim Gardner: I think I think that Corby Scherb: cherry on top check mark? Jim Gardner: I think if somebody runs me over at Chili Bowl, I'm just gonna go up to the top of the ramp and tip over their crash cart like that, you know? Just scatter scatter part yeah, just Slim Pushins: Good luck finding it amongst the seventy crash cards. Jim Gardner: grab one, you know, hope it's marked, throw it out, make a make you know. I think that's the move. 'Cause that's annoying. you know, that that took crew guys who had nothing to do with that crash hours to fix. So Yeah. what else we got? We got Kerba's drag car. Corby Scherb: Yes. Jim Gardner: Kerbo found this one. He sent it to me. I apparently forgot to turn the vol Slim Pushins: Look at this. Great run. No parachutes. shit moment. We're going in. Up out of turn four. Right into the Corby Scherb: Cornfield. Slim Pushins: cornfield. Now, do you have the other one, Jim? You might have noticed Jim Gardner: Yeah, so Slim Pushins: you might you might have noticed there's a long lane right next to that. Jim Gardner: Yeah, I was gonna say so I didn't put two and two together. There were two of 'Cause this is a this is another one and I'm sitting there thinking Slim Pushins: Yeah. Here's the other one. Over out of WAOM Jim Gardner: First of all, where's that camera? Corby Scherb: Correct, James, correct. Jim Gardner: Why why is that camera out there? Who panned it and turned it? And I cut it off before, you know, it takes another thirty seconds. Corby Scherb: Buddy, we get flock cameras on every corner nowadays. Jim Gardner: Yeah, but like Slim Pushins: No, Jim's right, that was a GoPro. So look at you can tell when when this drag car goes up to the corn. Corby Scherb: He thought about putting it the wall right there and he's like, You know what? We're just gonna ride this one out and he's like, Yeah, it's corn down there and Jim Gardner: Good Good for this racetrack Slim Pushins: Look at that lane. Jim Gardner: to have yeah. But why where did that where did that camera come from that Slim Pushins: So Jim, there's another Jim Gardner: was out there? Slim Pushins: I saw another another video last week of a drag car that slowed Corby Scherb: Exactly, super trucker. Slim Pushins: that slowed down enough to make that turn and he went around the track. Jim Gardner: Yeah, they look like I they got an oval track there too. This this track reminds me of Waynesfield, Ohio, sprint card track, which is in a cornfield. And around this time of year, harvest time, if you go over the berm in one and two like I did at Ardmore last week, you're coming back with some stalks of corn. yeah. Slim Pushins: Belleville has it there's a qu I think it's Belleville has a cornfield on the back stretch and in turn three. Corby Scherb: Lake Odessa, Michigan. I ninety six. Slim Pushins: Okay. Corby Scherb: Pretty cool. Pretty cool. You jump off turn two, you're gonna you're gonna clear out a cornfield. Jim Gardner: Yeah. The farmer's probably pissed. He'd probably cost them a couple grand in corn there. They'd probably got some insurance on that. Well, no, clearly Slim Pushins: It's probably you think that's the first time you think that's the first time a dragster's gone Jim Gardner: two of them in one day. They're right next to each other. One from the left lane, one from the right lane. Slim Pushins: So there's another view there's another view of the g there you go. There's another view Corby Scherb: There we go. That's the move. Jim Gardner: Here's yeah, so that Slim Pushins: of Jim Gardner: that's Wainsfield, Ohio. The guy shoots it over the turn one and two berm, keeps it running, but takes takes out a row of corn, finishes his heat race. Slim Pushins: Takes out takes out two hundred dollars in corn. Jim Gardner: Mark Silva that happened in twenty fourteen. Corby Scherb: Do you want me to tell a corn story about Lick Adessa? No. Huh? Slim Pushins: Yeah, Corby, go ahead. Corby Scherb: Yeah, there's a funny video that Rodney Ferris, rocking Rodney Ferris, he's no longer with us, got pushed off the top of turn two and his interview afterwards he was like, Man, I knew I was gonna hit something, it was gonna hurt real bad. It just downshifted a couple times and pulled her back up on and rode out. Slim Pushins: Back to you, Slim. Jim Gardner: man. Corby Scherb: That's the difference of being in a roll cage and just you and God. Slim Pushins: Do you have a Bates had a big weekend this last weekend. Do you have that do we have that media? Jim Gardner: Yeah. I do have that media stand by. I had to d Corby Scherb: I think some people doubt us how good base is at swinging club. Slim Pushins: Yeah, but that's subjective. Jim Gardner: Well Slim Pushins: He's a hundred times better than we are, but how good is that? Corby Scherb: Damn. Way better than us. Jim Gardner: So here he is taking home the hardware last week. Slim Pushins: Look at that. Clearly there's no dress code. Corby Scherb: Bata boy baby poo. Jim Gardner: It was the let me get that text message because I don't want to get the name of this tournament wrong. Slim Pushins: It was at the Rockwall Country Club. It was a member guest. Jim Gardner: No, it had an official name that sounded very official and I don't want to take that away from him. The prestigious fifth Corby Scherb: He's probably still on base. Pay attention. Jim Gardner: fifty first Texas four ball championship. Slim Pushins: I think that makes him an official deputy US marshal by the Jim Gardner: Yeah, they won by five shots. They kicked everybody's asses. Straight boots to asses. in a three day tournament last weekend. Slim Pushins: It's the most Bates thing ever that his little Corby Scherb: Sandbaggin'? Slim Pushins: that his little money clip is all sideways and not straightened up. Jim Gardner: Well it's also the most Bates thing ever that he's just wearing a hoodie in August Corby Scherb: yeah, no problem. Jim Gardner: a lightweight hoodie at a country club. Corby Scherb: Yeah, so he he said whenever we went to f for the Bachelor Party and that's what he wore and that he I mean he on a par three there was some kids in front of us and like you just forget like how good some golfers truly are and there was some kids in front of us running their mouth and I think that Jim was Jim was a little bit you know Slim Pushins: There it is. Corby Scherb: there it is. Jim was a little bit out of sorts that day. he had a he had a little bit going on the night before and Jim Gardner: I was out of swords that that month. Corby Scherb: These kids were running their mouth and and Bates started running his mouth and I mean a golf can be intense and and Bates hit a tee shot off par three and I mean put it two foot from the hole like it was Jim Gardner: Ha ha. Corby Scherb: nothing, just laid it there and Slim Pushins: Yeah. Corby Scherb: the kids just shut up and just walked away. Jim Gardner: Yeah. No, he's he's irritatingly good because he doesn't it he Corby Scherb: For sure. Jim Gardner: comes off like he doesn't care. Yeah, it's just he Corby Scherb: He swings like he doesn't care, like he just has such like a soft, smooth motion. Jim Gardner: he looks you know irritated that he's gotta put his beer down and take this Corby Scherb: Yeah. Jim Gardner: golf shot, you know. It's like God man three hundred yards down the middle. Corby Scherb: Who was it? Was it you that tried to decapitate me and Bates whenever you hit one into the golf cart and it bounced off the floor? that was brother-in-law. That was. That was. Slim Pushins: No, that was brother in law. Jim Gardner: I yeah, we we need to get out on the golf course here. Some of these some of these weekends get a little thin and it's not a hundred and six degrees out. Yeah. Corby Scherb: I'm waiting on you, buddy. I've been golfing. Slim Pushins: Golf is golf in Texas is like a November to March sport. Corby Scherb: No, you can go September Jim Gardner: Need to play that need to play that that night golf thing again out there Corby Scherb: I'm done. Jim Gardner: out there at the bay. So but congrats Slim Pushins: that one's closed. Jim Gardner: to to Justin Corby Scherb: Th that one's closed but we can go play in Denton. But yeah, congrats to the Bates.
