• 3:29
  Speaker 3: Getting ready to I mean there's always a little bit,
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: yeah your own PJ. I can't say that one.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: Not quite a full What do the contracts look like?
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: We guarantee? Is there a lot of guarantee? Are we
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: fighting for more guarantees or is it full guaranteed.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: That's a little bit all over the place, but yeah,
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: I'd say there's always mixes of guaranteed, and then there's
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: uh performance clauses and I would bet on about everybody stuff,
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: which is you know, just a up percentage of winnings
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: uh and that probably varies based on if it's uh
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: P one or if it's thirtieth on the day, whatever
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: the race event goes it, it'll lose percentage as you
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: go down typically.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: Okay, all right, all right.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: I like that you guys being boys, Chris, I know,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: when I'm going over the notes and everything else, you
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: seem like more of the quiet assassin before you get
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: on the team with your boy Ryan. It sounds like
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: Ryan brings out the personality and you because you guys
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: have this little prank war going on with each other
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: to where fans can now see the boy, Chris operate
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: a little bit.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's uh, that's fair. Ryan's, among other things,
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: been called in enabler and fair enough. Yeah, that's probably
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: the best PG version of it. But but yeah it's
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: kind of great as some uh some eye catching moments
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: and uh and some that we we probably shouldn't talk about,
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: but uh but yeah, yeah, he.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: Will know that a whole lot.
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: But like, I'm from New England, right, I'm from Connecticut.
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: He's from Texas. He's very laid back, and I think,
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: as you guys know, people from New England are like
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: I strung.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, on the go. The Patriots are good.
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah exactly, Yeah, very much fall.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: From Texas unless you want to be like, unless you
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: just say, like Texas is smaller, not that great, Like
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: they're gonna keep to themselves a little bit more.
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's exactly how it is. So when so Chris
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: was actually the one who started the whole thing with
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: prank wars. I get done.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: That's a crazy journ of events, Chris.
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: Yep, exactly. You wouldn't expect that. Well, I get done
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: with the race at Kansas and there's a door missing
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: off my Bronco, my rental car and I drive to
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: the airport without a door because he felt the need
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: to take it off and in the.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: Back of mine. Yeah, but it should be noted it's
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: like a thirty five minute drive to the airport in Kansas,
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: So it is a little bit of a hike.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, and in the scheme of pranks, it's like
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: good prank, that's exactly, but the one that could right,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: all right for thirty five minute drive to the airport, Like, yeah,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: that's funny, but what the fuck?
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: See my break goes up to. I think that's good
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: old fashioned fun. Like you, the point of a prank
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: is inconvenience together, not harm or destroy. But just take
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: a car, take a car door, broncos there they're used to.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: Just you can pop them things off, no problem. I
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: think that's a good, clean fun What year is this
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: When we're in Kansas, the race takes place and we
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: do the first prank.
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so that was last year, last year.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: This is a this is a recent beef.
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, this was last year in October or September, and
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: I had quite the long day to remember, you said
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: during that race, you saw I was having a tough day,
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: and you were thinking, man, that's gonna suck.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, oh you did pre race.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: I did it pre race. Yeah, while the garage opened.
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: And uh and Ryan's pretty famous for going everywhere early
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: on race day. So I found his rental. Uh, he
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: parked it a little too close to the fence, so
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: I couldn't get both doors off, but I did get
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: one and uh and I did think to myself during
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: the process. It only took about ten minutes to get
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: the door off, right, it was pretty simple. And I
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: thought to myself, I was like, man, if he has
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: a bad day, this is not gonna be very funny.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: And uh and somewhere in that race, you had a
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: bad day, and it did dawn on me as I
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: should have been focusing on other things. I was like, uh, oh,
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: that's no longer as comical as I thought it was.
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: So it was, it was pretty funny.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: It still it gets worse. So your wife was very,
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: very pregnant at the time, and uh, and it did
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: also click. I was like, man, what if he needs
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: to be on the phone on the way the airport,
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: He's gonna be able to hear a thing right, air
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: just swirling in there.
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah. They didn't even have a clue that we took
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: the door off, because when we got to the airport
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: you did put it back on. But uh, yeah, it's
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: just kind of started this whole thing ever since.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Then.
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: I waited until the last race of the season, and
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: what I did is at Phoenix Nice we uh we
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: had practiced that day. Well, he was in early at
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: a meeting and all these other other things he was doing.
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: So I went, I saran wrapped his car shut, I
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: had it towed so we didn't have a car at
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: the racetrack. I had it toad directly to the hotel,
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: wrapped it in Christmas lights, and then I zipped up
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: the drive shaft. Have you ever had somebody put zip
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: ties on the drive shaft.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: I mean, honestly, I don't even know who the drive
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: shaft is. That's not where you got me. I'm over here,
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: a smile like drive sheft got it, and I'm thinking
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: with the drive shaft. So you zip tie the drive shaft,
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: you sarran rafted, you put Christmas lights on it, You
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: got a toad. So we could just go ahead and
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: say that's a couple of steps above take a the
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: door off.
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I took it to the extreme.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: Good so retaliation though, yeah. So remember when I I
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: put the whip cream pie in Ben Jones's face yes birthday,
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: because he would go around and get everybody. But the
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: boys got me going like, hey, you should get Ben.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: And then BEng goes to a wild extreme during meetings
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: and puts like a stink bomb.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: Well, some of you guys, we were sitting out here
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: before the show, and I was like, we had a
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: guy who would take pranks to a new level. He
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: had a fart a fartd can that would like you
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: put a smell on somebody that came from like a skunk,
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: and he would just go and do it to random
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: people and the rest of the day they stunk and
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: their clothes were roomed. He was like, that's good fun
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: for Ben Jones, It's good fun for Ben jaft for Ben.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: Because then there's another point too. Ben. I was like,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: I was thinking about going to harm.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: Waffleh Yeah, Waffles is his English bulldog, so he was
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: an object.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, I won't say that. I was like, bro,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: that's fucking crazy. I just put you whipped cream pie
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: everybody in the face. I just got you.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And did you do anything after that?
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: No?
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: So Ben kind of he probably you've been probably did
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: to you what you were hoping. You were hoping to
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: just to end it and have it be done forever.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: But Chris, you said, oh no, that's not how this
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: game is going to go.
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: Felt elevated.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: Okay, so we wait. So September happens. All right, we
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: get a door, door taken off. I'm just trying to
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: fall a bounce to the ball. We'll get to the
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: end of the year at p I R where what
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: what time is this? That's November, November November of twenty five.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: So we waited a few months. The dust is settled.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: People are thinking, oh, this little interaction is done. Now
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: this happens. Where in your brain? What are you thinking?
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: You're from Texas. You'll mess with Texas, especially your car.
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: I had, uh had a suspicious feeling that uh, it
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: was probably coming, and so I did. Happened to park
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: next to a one identical rental cars with the hopes
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: that he would get the wrong one. That didn't quite work.
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: I also cranked the wheel all the way in a
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: very narrow lot to make it hard to be able
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: to get it out, and they drug it out. I
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: can see the drag marks in the gravel where where
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: they got it out of there? It It should also
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: be noted that we were on a tight time frame
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: to meet our new team president. For the first dinner,
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: we had a car service at the hotel that I
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: no longer could get to because I was missing a car,
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: and uh, I was a little weight to our inaugural
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: team meeting.
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: Our first time meeting the president of our company.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: So yeah, that was maybe a little anger.
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: It felt elevated.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: It elevated to a whole new level. What are you
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: telling the president, the new president? Are you sitting there like, hey, pranks?
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: Am I right?
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: He's over to the welcome to the crew.
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: He's getting pretty good laughs out of all of this.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: So I got a bunch of well done text messages
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: from last weekend before it ever really hit the innerwebs.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: So nice.
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: I think we're in a good spot now.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: Is that the last prink that's taking place since these
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: first two pranks?
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: Well, he was taken really long, and I was like, man,
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: I got this great idea. So when we went to
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: Atlanta or Eco Park Speedway, I bought four billboards to
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: put all over Atlanta come see Chris Busher race and
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: visit prosper Texas, which is where he's from, and we
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: kind of made him look like another billboard out there
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: that advertises for, you know, a gas station, so we
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: took that as well as minute Rice. We shot a
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: social media video that has Chris in like this red wig,
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: so I put his face with the red wig on it.
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: So it was on I seventy five all over Atlanta.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: Wasn't away, Georgia, wasn't a wig?
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: And what did you, Chris?
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: What'd you find out about this?
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: As we were being ready to head to Atlanta. I
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: Ryan's really bad about using AI for uh, you know,
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: small photoshopped moments and uh, and I've seen the billboards
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: from that and you could tell that they were photoshopped
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: in order to get the I guess the the preliminary
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: done right, and uh, it must have just been what
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: was used for the actual thing. So I'm sitting here like, oh,
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: it's fake, like you used AI. I know this is fake.
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: It's it's all over my my Twitter feed, I guess,
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: or I don't know where you post stuff, but so
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: it was everywhere. Yeah, my Space, it's right below my
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: playlist and it it don't like there's no way it's fake,
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: like you're not gonna spend that kind of money. I
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: was like, I didn't feel like I've done anything to
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: deserve this yet and uh and sure enough, we had
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: people start commenting like, hey, I just seen it. I
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: took a picture and uh and it was one of
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: those electronic billboards, so it even a picture looks kind
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: of fake. I was like, oh, he's he's got his
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: friends sending tweets right now that are saying they see it,
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: and yeah, it looks fake. It looks fake.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: And uh and it does kind of look fake.
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: Somebody pointed out, like, there's no leaves on the trees, right,
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: there's no leaves And this was two weeks ago. Yep,
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: and it didn't make sense.
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: And well that's because it was a superimposed image for
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: when I gave him the approval. Yeah, and then all
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: the fans actually driving up and down seventy five, we're
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: taking pictures of.
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: It and copied it one percent and it actually exists.
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: My crew chief drove down to Atlanta with his daughter
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: and uh, he sent me a message as we were
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: getting on the plane to head down. He uh, he said, hey,
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: just want to point out it's real. Oh, got it
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: all right, Well, that's perfect, that's that's that's clean.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: That could have been the retaliation one versus you get
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: his truck towed, wrap locked.
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: He kind of feel the first one.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: He's late president.
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: The day before all of this goes down, I had
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: already taken possession of his his new Ford lowner and
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: uh and Ford loan darted.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: So as drivers, Uh, depending on the OEM you're with,
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: you get a loaner vehicle for a year.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: Okay, sot perk of the gym.
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: Apparently a fly.
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: Oh very nice.
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: I didn't see that on the selection, did you.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: But and then this is very crazy. This is what
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: you did.
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: This happened before the billboard. I didn't know about the
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: billboard yet. He did not know about this. And this, Uh,
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: this happened Thursday before at Wana. Uh, we did this
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: in the shop at RFK while you were in the
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: gym on the working out.
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: They closed the door that's usually open and they had
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: it closed. And I'm just thinking they're doing maintenance on
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: our pit stop car. And apparently they were wrapping that truck.
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: So all I had to do was walk thirty feet
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: and I would have saw it.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this is a bang bang situation. And that's where
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: we stand now, is where we're at. It's my turn again,
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: it's your turn again.
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: See, I just don't feel it any good.
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: Ideas we get.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: Listen, we can have a brainstorm on this podcast if
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: you like to How far do we want to go?
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: It's pretty much pretty.
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: You saw how far I'm willing to take it.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: I think like your reaction here, you're like, oh, ship,
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: we're both getting each other right now. Yeah, Like it's
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: in the works. So this could be one where you
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: guys squash it. Hey, but somebody you want us to
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: make a move.
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: That's going to wait a little while, you know, get through,
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: get through trying to make the chase, and and maybe
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: get into September October. But yeah, I'm down for for
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: some ideas.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll definitely we'll get you. If we don't come
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: with anything on this show, we'll definitely get your number
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: and we can help with any type of prank that
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: you might need.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: Could could this ever come out? Could this competitive nature
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: ever come out? On the track to where you guys
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: may be in the lead and one bumps the other.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: That that'd be a good racing one and two. The
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: one to just cratches the other b This is one.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: This is my one.
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: That is that is uh teammate racing one O one.
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: If if one or two of you have a shot
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: to win, you better not wet the third place car
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: win Like you can push and shove all you want,
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: But if you as somebody else win when one of
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: you should have, that's where it becomes a problem and
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: no longer a prank.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: So that's happen a little bit.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: And then that happened with somebody we had on and
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: where we were talking about the race? Maybe it was
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: was it with Denny Hamlin? Who am I thinking of?
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: Who it was?
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: Denny and Bubba?
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah? And then who messed up? Was it Bubba that
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: messed it up? Or Denny who was gonna win? Win?
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you guys know, you guys don't know.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: I think it was Denny's an owner? Is that twenty
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: three eleven?
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: Right? Yeah?
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: He was going He wrecked Bubba is my assumption, because
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: I mean is definitely rearing its ugly head, right, you.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: Don't remember, I know he's coming. It's I feel like
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: they know and they don't want to tell us. And
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: now we're just sitting here playing the guests.
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, now we're just we're kind of we're on the island,
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: which is good because they've been on the island the
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: whole time. Yeah, it's good for us to fight through this.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: Right, So whoever messed up the message to them? Teammate
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: one on one, Yeah, you're about to win. You don't
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: mess with the other car.
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: Is this the race right here? Oh?
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: It was Denny and Bubba up front, and then Danny
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: kind of ran Bubba high and then Chase.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: Like this, Sonny's eleven. Yes, Bubba's twenty three. So right there,
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: you got you got your three win there. That's bullshit.
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that that would not go over the phone.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: I'm taking a seventy five thousand dollars. Fine, I'm gonna
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: go rear rear.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: Naked mit t Man, Yeah, go bag Mitch, Okay, Ryan
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: say say you say you're twenty three, Chris, you're eleven.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: What should be happening here? Teammate one on one? You're
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: breaking it down?
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: Well, you're racing, right, you're racing racing. See what happens
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: right here is when when Bubba gets close to his door,
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: it just puts a lot of air on the rear
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: spoiler and it makes the eleven tight. So I don't
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: think Denny meant to drive up the track, but it happened,
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: and it really was just racing.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: Then they allowed the three to win.
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: That's just racing.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: This just post race. You guys are playing this out conversationally.
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: This one isn't the worst offender, right, It's not like
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: you blatantly dumped somebody that was hard raising and it
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: didn't work out and it was close.
• 18:22
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: Can I just tell you guys how I feel about
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: that answer?
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: We'd love to hear it.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: And I hated it. Here's what Sorry, we before this
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: video came on and Will and I got put in
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: a blender for a couple of moments. You guys said,
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: if your teammates and you're racing one and two, your
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: only objective is to make sure that three doesn't win.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: Now we're watching a video of this exact situation happening,
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: and you're like, well, it's hard racing, Yare you guys
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: afraid of didn't handler?
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: It's a it's a.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: They might be like kind of scared? Is MJ in
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: their head?
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: Right? Denny Hamlin like Voldemort on the track?
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: Oh my? Yeah? So basically, you guys have the floor.
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: Other Harry Potter reference like that.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: So we're racing one and two. Yeah, we get up
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: close the door. He said something about a spoiler. You
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: said wind is getting in for Texas, walks for Texas.
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: You have the floor.
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: I mean, at the end of the day, that's hard.
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: There was nothing into it was. It was trying to
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: figure how to win it and it just got in
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: a bad situation. But I promise it will be a
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: bad Monday. Actually it'll be a bad.
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: So there's actually a piece of our contracts that says,
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: do not wreck your teammate unless it's for the win
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: on the last lap. I'm pretty sure yours says that
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: as well, or maybe it's not in the contract, but
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: it was like a little little piece of of things
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: that we.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: Were giving fortune cookie or something like that.
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: These are your obligations, These are what we expect of you.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: All right. This is yeah, that's that's inside the team
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: meeting room. Hey, guys, this is how we expect to
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: win this race.
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: If you're gonna wreck your teammate, you better win.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: Got you is making that move he needs to win?
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: Would he would have come out of there and been like,
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: that's just that's that's hard race, and that's fine.
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: So let me says he lost.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: It's like Denny, he kind of fucked up right there.
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm sure he wasn't happy either. No, No, I
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: think there's a.
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: Since the boys will seem a little bit nervous about.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: I think we got a little nervous right now. Then
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: he should have made the who was in the wrong here?
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: Who could have done better? Who could have made the
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: situation better? To where twenty three eleven wins this race?
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: Sounds like eleven, Well, sounds.
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: Like the eleven could have went twenty three eleven win
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: the race if he wanted to. But he's not. He's
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: not trying to win for twenty three eleven in that moment.
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: Man, I love the discomfort doing good. I love where
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: we're at. So this guy is right now, This happened
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: to you, guys, This happens to you two. You guys
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: are all good. Hey, it's just racing, all no worse.
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: See, here's the here's the thing about this. It's the
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: final Lapp final corner. The eleven is trying to get
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: under the twenty three and the twenty three is trying
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: to side draft him back, and it's just that the
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: outcome of it, right, It's completely different if somebody goes
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: in there and just absolutely obliterates, like intentionally rerex the
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: guy right and says, man, I'm sorry afterwards. That's that.
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: I think that's the frustrating thing is when you know
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: what the intentions are and then it falls up. Man,
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry. That's a frustrate.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: How easy is it for you to tell as a
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: racer when things are intentional versus an accident?
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: Texas, you're trying to go the quiet one to get
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: the answer. You're the outspoken one. While are you out here?
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: That's it, man, We already know.
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you why. Steve's got the headphones on out there.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: You know there, he's the ride back.
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: It's a long drive back to.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: You.
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: Ain't lying.
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: We take a really big game when there's not a microphone, right.
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: But also no one watches the show, so it's all good.
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: We got out.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: There were a couple out there, but they're say something
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: everybody who's watching this, keep it to yourself. Boom, you
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: have the floor perfects. How do we feel about that?
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: About that one? There was room the outside the entire time,
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: so to me it was a move to try and
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: grab his quarter panel, and there's consequences to putting somebody
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: in a really bad arrow spot.
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: At the end of the day, here's a really well
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: media trained If I think.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: That was at a media trained answer, that's just inside
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: ball that Yeah we got.
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: There, Yeah we got we we got there eventually. God,
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: what was the question I was asking before? And he
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: brought it over at PASTPA Texas.
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: You just asked the same question six times?
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: Are answer every time? How ready are you guys week

• 23:08
  Speaker 4: know I have him for sure, honestly, So ask that
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: question again because it went in one ear and out
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: the other for a.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: Second weekend and weekt Like I'm sure you guys bust
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: balls laugh about Kazlowski and him and Gordon got in
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: the pit. Crew's got in a massive fight back in
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: what was that twenty fourteen, twenty and fourteen, where now
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: he's your teammate also he owns he's like the owner
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: to the boss. Yeah, he's your boss too. But chomping
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: at the bet, Hay, Brad, just let us know if
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: anybody looks at you little sideways, we can get another
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: one going. Oh, absolutely, you can relive twenty fourteen all
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: over again.
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: I don't think Actually, what was it last year? He
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: ran after a host bar on Pitt Road at walking
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: the left king right, he ran after him honestly for us, yeah,
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: one hundred percent. We got Brad's back. He's got our back.
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: But it's kind of like the team work aspect of
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: it is we're like step brother and he's like the dad,
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: you know what I mean, Like he's the one that
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: has to rain us in every here and every now
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: and again.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: So get the young bucks back in a little bit
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: for you guys are goofing around a little too much.
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he'll call.
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: Us out on it. Really Yeah, I think, uh, it
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: costs a lot of money to uh to throw a
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: punch nowadays. So uh, we have we know.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: We we have the we have the clear go ahead,
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: go ahead. Yeah, he's like you know Steve. This is
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: Steve as he's out there listening.
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: Steve Mile quoted on on Racing with the Boys that
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: if two drivers get into it, we can let that slot.
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: The issue is when the pit crews get into it,
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: when the big boys get into it. So maybe I
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: would take that clip. I would run with it next
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: time we have an interaction swing and when you go
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: to a peel it in front of the board, it's like,
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: just play the Racing with the Boys clip and he
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: has a real role. That's it? Am I wrong there
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: at all? Something? Step up and do it right. Someone's
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: gonna step up and be the guy to be like
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: he said, it's okay to do that.
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I'm not gonna find out.
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: I don't wan.
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: Who would be the guy in NASCAR to be like,
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: see that clip and be like, all right, bet.
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: Uh, who is your head? I've already paid my fine.
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: Who's a feisty one?
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: Man?
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: There's there's there's quite a few quiet ones that you
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: can just tell her scrappy. Yeah, I'm trying to think.
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: I thought I thought you was going to throw a
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: punch in San Diego. I thought it was going to.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: Throw a punch and hit the gritty and and it just.
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: Hit the.
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: I don't know what that means.
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: He doesn't, but uh, yeah, I really thought that was
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: gonna go down. And then uh and he made the
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: same comment that that I just made, that it would
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: be expensive and detrimental in that moment to uh to
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: throw a haymaker. So it's got to be the right situation.
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: I guess you gotta feel like you were wrong for
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: the right thing. I'd say, uh, some something happen means
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: for fifteenth you're probably not gonna take the risk of
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: finding out, but something goes down for the wind and
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: you feel like you were wronged.
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah. So I think the the biggest frustration as a
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: race car driver is when somebody repeatedly makes mistakes and
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: all you hear is I'm sorry constantly. Yeah, You're not sorry,
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: There is no there's there's no salt.
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: Sorry.
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: You're just saying it because you were media trained to
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: say it, right. So I think that's where a lot
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: of frustration comes as a race car driver when you
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: get out, you know, and as Chris was talking about
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: race car drivers, we the better we finished, the better
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: we race. So it's almost like running up to somebody
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: grabbing their wallet and you know, taking taking food off
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: their table. Yeah, and uh so that can get really frustrating.
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, who comes to mind when you're speaking?
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: We were locked eye right there, and I just knew, why.
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: Keep you keep locking eyes with me?
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: You're hosting the show. I want to look at you
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: guys when I'm talking to you. You know you're looking
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: at me being like it really pisses you off when
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: a guy runs you have the wall a bunch of
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: times and keep saying I'm sorry.
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's got a lot of emotion behind the opinion.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, love emotion, and someone's got to say that the
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: quiet thing out loud.
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: You have the floor, I have the floor.
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: Okay, Well what I'll say is, I'm I'm gonna race
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: you like you race me type of person.
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah all right, and I proved that. Okay, Okay, listen.
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: I don't have the full context of what you just
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: were talking about, but it sounded fucking cool, you know
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: when you said it out loud.
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be a great clip when we just make
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: a highlights driver in it.
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna race you like you race me, and then
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: just drops.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: It shows and shows and winning.
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: Ye know, there you go.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: I'm sure the nascars probably know who he's talking.
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: You know exactly. They'll let us know in the comments
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: right now.
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: But the racing that I come from and how I
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: came up the ranks is I raced against a lot
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: of you know, forty fifty year old veterans, and you
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: had to give respect to get respect, right, So if
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: you're not willing to give respect, you're not going to
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: get it in return.
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: When you were coming up and what was a lesson
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: you had to learn to be able to be like, Okay,
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: that's how you should race. That's how racing should be done.
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: So there was a in the northeast. There was a
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: guy by the name of Ted Christopher, and he was
• 28:13
  Speaker 4: known for what's called the three tap rule. And that
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: three tap rule was like, hey, you know, I hit
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: you the first time, I'm letting you know him there.
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: The second time, get out of my way, or I'm
• 28:22
  Speaker 4: going to move you. The third time, you were gone.
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: And there was a race where when I got to him,
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: I we had instead of doors because these were open
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: wheel cars, they were called nerf bars. Okay, and I
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: did what a dirt racer would do except I'm on
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: asphalt and it was like a slide job, except you
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: would use your nerve bar to move him out of
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: the way. Well I did that to him. Well the
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: next corner he shipped me to the moon sit. Yeah,
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: and that was kind of that was a that was
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: a lesson for me, like, hey, if I want to
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: you know, not get shipped, I'm not going to do
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: the shipping. And then you just you race with the respect.
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: So I've had my rivalries, I've gone through you know,
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: I've gone I've gone through that, and I think the
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: biggest lesson is is when you race people respect, you're
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: going to get it back. So that's kind of that's
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: my code, right and you don't you don't lay a
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: bumper to me. I'm not going to lay a bumper
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: to you. But if you started, yeah, yeah, we're.
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: Gonna finish it.
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: Not really, but.
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: We're not going to intentionally finish it, you know, much like.
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: Steve reference to is is we're going to race, and
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: that's what racers. There's kind of a there's a code.
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a code that takes place. Are there any
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: drivers in the NASCAR Cup Series now that don't follow
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: that code? That you're referring to.
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, single week, I got a fun
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: question from both you answer for the other Ryan in
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: your mind. I'll start with you, who is Chris's biggest rival? As?
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: Great question.
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: You, yeah, but see, see that's tough because Chris is
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: so quiet prosper Texas like he.
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: Prosper Texas on a map that's exactly where it is.
• 30:09
  Speaker 4: But I'm telling you right now, Chris is not the
• 30:11
  Speaker 4: guy like he races with a bunch of respect. And
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: I don't I don't really know who.
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: Is having your boy, knowing your prosper Texas boy, who
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: would you think in his mind like, oh, that's just
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: he's happy to get this wing, because that's that's like
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: a that's the low key rival of his.
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: I don't think that I've got rival at this point,
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: Like we haven't had a consistent running I guess back
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: and forth with anybody for uh for quite a while.
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: And maybe that's not a good thing. Maybe it is,
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: but uh, bringing up prosper Texas picks it out here.
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: Christ for you, who would be Ryan's biggest rival?
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: Ryan's biggest rival? It hasn't been too terrible, it's uh, well,
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: I got a name in mind, but I don't know
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: if it's worth.
• 31:05
  Speaker 4: You can say it. I'll give you approval.
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: It's uh, well you and and Gibbs had a little
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: bit of a of a go earlier in the year,
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: but I think that's been okay since.
• 31:16
  Speaker 4: Well it's over. I paid a fine, right, so it's done.
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: It's done. So the rivalry kind of moves on. I
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: don't know. I feel like if you you have those
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: ones on track, and you're gonna feel like you're wrong
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: at times, but it's uh, it's gonna come back around
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: at some point. They always do.
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: So the rivals gives.
• 31:36
  Speaker 4: I don't think it's a rivalry anymore. Feel it you
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: feel this is just like being in our gym where
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: there's a bunch of athletes like our jackman, our pickrew guys.
• 31:49
  Speaker 4: They're all they're the same. It is the exact same.
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: Massive instigators. Which one is your favorite?
• 31:59
  Speaker 4: All of them?
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: Answer?
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: That's a good answer.
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: I know, never bothered you right down step.
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you always have a favorite.
• 32:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely, yeah, No, there is one. Actually it's his
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: tire carrier. We like to go back and forth quite
• 32:14
  Speaker 4: a bit.
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: That's your guy, that's how that's your last.
• 32:16
  Speaker 4: One we like to, you know, take little jabs at Yeah.
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah that's that man. What as you would you
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: consider your picker guys like family? Yeah, you love them
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: like a father figured to them in a lot of way.
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: It's not a father figure, but maybe like you're the
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: leader of the quarterback.
• 32:31
  Speaker 4: Well my jackman literally hill like after after Pitt packs,
• 32:35
  Speaker 4: he'll pick me up like I'm his kids. So I
• 32:37
  Speaker 4: don't know if I can.
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: So when Christmas rolls around, what are we getting the
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: boys for Christmas?
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: I took care of my guys pretty well. I feel like, yeah, no,
• 32:49
  Speaker 4: I had like these customs.
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: Actually I got this is what I want to see,
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: this is what you want to say.
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: Get them dollar. Yeah. So I had these money clips
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: made with their names on them and the number sixty
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: and and put some cash in there.
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: For him and those ship it.
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: There's no money in it now.
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: There's no money in it now.
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: It's a little buttony.
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: It's a good gift too, because it's when you don't
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: think about you just don't think about getting as a
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: gift and they use all the time.
• 33:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they love them.
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: That's pretty slick.
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I like that.
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: Christmas about you? What do you get your boys. Uh
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: Christmas rolls.
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: Around Cash is king and mine just didn't come wrapped?
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: Is cool? I guess yeah, it didn't look as cool
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: as Texas.
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: He just gets the rubber band out of the podcast.
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: What's it like for you guys racing with Brad and
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: also him being the owner. How's that dynamic?
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: It's it's good, but it is certainly tricky at times,
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: I'd say, because Brad's a hard racer. He's a uh,
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: you know, a champion of our sport. He knows how
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: to win races, and he's uh, he's had his fair
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: share of run ins through the years as well, right,
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: so you know it's it's one of those when when
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: need be, he's gonna get after it. It's a little
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: easier in some ways where he has invested ownership in
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: all three of our race cars, and so you know
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: you're not going to get wronged in any kind of
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: intentional way because he wants all of us to succeed.
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: But we are competitors at the end of the day.
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: I'd say it's a little bit harder from our well,
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: I'll speak for myself from my point to to race
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: Brad at times, because his name is on my shirt
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: and my fire suit in my car and my paycheck
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: and not the other way around. So you have to
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: have like that, that fire and that drive to try
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: and figure how to race everybody. But there's a little
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: added level of respect once it comes to uh generally teammates,
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: but but also knowing that that Brad is also our
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: are our boss man.
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: At the end of the day, I pass him here,
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: Do not know?
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: You always pass?
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: Certainly enough in the.
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: Race I can pass them.
• 34:53
  Speaker 4: Here's like, you know, there's situations where you aren't going
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: to hurt each other on the track. When I mean
• 35:00
  Speaker 4: hurt each other, I mean like hurt how the race
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: is going. So like if if let's say Brad is
• 35:06
  Speaker 4: side by side with somebody and we have a run
• 35:07
  Speaker 4: coming where you can take them three wide and kind
• 35:10
  Speaker 4: of clear them both. There's definitely times where you'll get
• 35:12
  Speaker 4: behind the guy, you know, your teammate or Brad and
• 35:15
  Speaker 4: push him by, right, So instead of putting each.
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: Other in a bat small shaking big a little bank,
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean?
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: I think I feel like we do that at super speedways.
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: Quite we do that quote, So shaking bank is real.
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, there's been a lot of backs and forth
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: on that on every show, because every show I bring
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: up tell.
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: It we don't get to just grab a gear and
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: turn around people and drive on. But the principle, I
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: guess is rooted in reality. The execution in the movie
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: is wildly exaggerated amongst the entire movie.
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: When yours are with Brad, youse are clearly a team.
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: He's invested shirts, his name's all over the shirt, the
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: fire suit everything. How much is he willing to give you, guys,
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: game on how to Hey, this is how you have
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: longevity in this league. This is how you should raise
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: this individual. And how much do you think He's kind
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: of like, Hey, this is kind of for me though,
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: if you want to you want this information, that'll learn
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: it yourself.
• 36:07
  Speaker 4: So I'll speak on this coming to RFK last year
• 36:10
  Speaker 4: was my first year, and what I've learned is Brad
• 36:13
  Speaker 4: as a race car driver, as Brad as part of
• 36:15
  Speaker 4: the ownership group, he'll sacrifice his team or or things
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: for them to be able to you know, put our
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: group together. When when they were doing that, so you
• 36:27
  Speaker 4: know in in twenty twenty five, didn't he Yeah, he
• 36:31
  Speaker 4: broke up his pit crew, which his pick crew at
• 36:33
  Speaker 4: the time was one of the best on Pitt Road
• 36:35
  Speaker 4: to make sure that I had, you know, a really
• 36:37
  Speaker 4: strong pick crew at the start last year. So yeah,
• 36:41
  Speaker 4: So my my opinion of it is Brad is not
• 36:43
  Speaker 4: selfish at all, and he's he's going to do what's
• 36:46
  Speaker 4: best for the organization.
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: What's something that would surprise people, but Brad.
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: Big stock guys, and that probably plays into he is
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: extremely methodical, and I don't know if that surprises a
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: lot of people that are are big fans, but from
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: a casual fan standpoint, Brad's extremely thoughtful in how he
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: goes about everything. I feel like, and I think that's
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: why he's he's been such a good race card driver.
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: I think that's why he's been such a good owner.
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: At the same time, I think it's why there's just
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: a lot of successes in so many different areas because
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: he is very methodical in everything he does, and there's
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: a lot more than a lot more than a knee
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: jerk reaction at any given time. And I just seeing
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: it through the years the last several years being at
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: RFK and and had a pretty good idea of it
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: before just with some small interactions, but it's it's in depth.
• 37:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's awesome.
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: Let's get to uh, let's get to you guys. Let
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: me let me hear about this love story. We had
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: an individual from the Northeast, another man from from tayhas like,
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: how did you guys become such close friends?
• 37:53
  Speaker 4: Well, it was twenty nineteen when we first became teammates
• 37:57
  Speaker 4: at JTG, right, and yeah, I don't think he knew
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: anything about me and I knew nothing about him. We
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: were just we were doing these Kroger skits, which is
• 38:06
  Speaker 4: our sponsor there and still to this day. Right, So
• 38:10
  Speaker 4: that was kind of how we got to know each other.
• 38:11
  Speaker 4: And you know, I'm really talkative in Northeast and very
• 38:15
  Speaker 4: blunt and like kind of a ball buster. Yeah, and
• 38:18
  Speaker 4: then he was really quiet. So it just kind of
• 38:21
  Speaker 4: worked really well.
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: So interesting to me was the first Kroger skit that
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: we did. I was the the ballbuster, the outgoing one,
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: and he was the quiet one. Complete role revers one.
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: I remember thinking I was like, I don't know if
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: he's going to enjoy this, Like this might not go over.
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: Well it turns out he's fine. I don't worry.
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's awesome.
• 38:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but we just I don't know. I mean, it's
• 38:43
  Speaker 4: easy to get along with him because he's he's pretty.
• 38:48
  Speaker 4: I don't know what's the word I'm looking for.
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: You don't know.
• 38:52
  Speaker 4: There's not much like our We have common interests and
• 38:56
  Speaker 4: there's really no ego, right, so you just banner back
• 38:59
  Speaker 4: and forth and it's a good times. But the toughest
• 39:03
  Speaker 4: thing to me with Chris is that he likes all
• 39:07
  Speaker 4: his trucks lifted.
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: You have a hard time with.
• 39:10
  Speaker 4: That, Yeah, man, it's got to be to the ground,
• 39:12
  Speaker 4: on the ground to try.
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, see, I uh, I'm what you call it
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: cake either. I like them both because I have like
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: this old seventy seven one hundred that I've lowered quite
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: a bit more of like a street truck. I think
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: that's pretty badass. But now I'm kind of getting into
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: the four by four crew cab. We got a too.
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: Like my truck out there right now has a two
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: inch lift on it. So I like them both.
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: I like that kind of goes natural with the raptor. Yeah, yeah,
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: but that's.
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: This custom see of the stance that like, I think
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: you can go way too far in a truck, but
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: every truck needs to have a little something personalized to
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: You can't just get it off the lot, get up
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: a lot. Put something, Yeah, put something on it, whether
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: it's a little system exhaust, whatever, something that's near and
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: dear to you. Butterflies, that's exactly butterflies. Like I thought,
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: by the way, I think so far from me knowing
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: you match your personality purpose for sure. Right, Yeah, we
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: kind of feel that way. A softie, yeah, but you
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: you are. We on the same page. Like customizing your
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: truck a little.
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: Bit, absolutely, we gotta maybe maybe more than a little bit.
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: I I can go both ways too. Will drives fine
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: to to lower down a little bit, but I like
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: to jump stuff and I don't like slowing down for
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: speed bumps. And and I found out there's, uh, there's
• 40:24
  Speaker 3: there's ways to do that and have a little funnel
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: on the way. And my stuff's not slow, but it's
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: not uh it's not as quick as Ryan stuff. It's
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: a little heavier, a little more rotating mass, but still
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: a good time. It's it's we're taking the doors off
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: the Bronco originated. I wanted him to experience that four
• 40:42
  Speaker 3: by four lifestyle.
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: Custom Yeah, it's good. You're just trying to culture your
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: friend a little bit exactly when it comes to the
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: lift on your truck, are we going the you know,
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: the higher the truck, the closer to God type of mentality.
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: I'm a little older nowadays, so uh yeah, we we
• 40:57
  Speaker 3: started there, and we're back to like about about four
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: four and a half inch lifts. That's about where I
• 41:04
  Speaker 3: max out at now.
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: A little bit.
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: I've matured right off to get into the thing. I
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: can just barely fitting car washes, gotcha. Yeah, yeah, I
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: don't like climbing, and and yeah.
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: You guys both you guys both grew up working on
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: race cars also while also driving them. Who would be
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: the most trusting one to work on a race car?
• 41:26
  Speaker 4: Mhmm, Your stuff's broke a lot.
• 41:29
  Speaker 3: I'm hard on stuff though in my defence, like it
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: does break a lot, but it's I do put it
• 41:35
  Speaker 3: together correctly most of the time. I'm just hard on it.
• 41:37
  Speaker 4: And see I was saying, I do it nice because
• 41:39
  Speaker 4: I do it twice.
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: So there's a car in the garage and one of
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: you are going in to fix the vehicle, and they're like, hey,
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: whichever one of you guys want to come in and
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: work on this thing? Who'd be the one who would
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: be the man with the keys.
• 41:51
  Speaker 3: To be clear, we have real professionals that work on
• 41:54
  Speaker 3: our race cars now so they do not do not
• 41:56
  Speaker 3: allow us in the shop nowadays. But we have lots
• 41:59
  Speaker 3: of personal and uh personal race cars, so I'd say
• 42:04
  Speaker 3: we're we're fairly uh fairly good with with wrenches your
• 42:09
  Speaker 3: body man.
• 42:12
  Speaker 4: That No, I mean that's where we've We've definitely grown out,
• 42:17
  Speaker 4: We've gotten older, we have kids, just like you know
• 42:19
  Speaker 4: y'all do, and it's uh, it's turned into where now
• 42:23
  Speaker 4: we don't have enough time to work on these projects.
• 42:26
  Speaker 4: So life has definitely changed quite a bit. But as
• 42:28
  Speaker 4: far as turbos, superchargers, all that good stuff, yeah, I
• 42:33
  Speaker 4: trust them putting one on my truck.
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's nice. That's a really nice thing to say.
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: Do you think like being able to work on vehicles
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: and understanding the inside announce has helped you guys in
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: your NASCAR career?
• 42:41
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, yep, I mean I enjoy it that
• 42:45
  Speaker 4: that's part of racing though. Like as far as what
• 42:47
  Speaker 4: the sport was built on, the Moonshiner's like they all
• 42:52
  Speaker 4: built their cars and wanted to race them, and that's
• 42:54
  Speaker 4: that's you know, as far as where I come from,
• 42:58
  Speaker 4: racing modified up in the Northeast. You go up there,
• 43:01
  Speaker 4: now there's a lot of you know, twenty twenty five
• 43:03
  Speaker 4: year old thirty year old kids that work on their
• 43:06
  Speaker 4: own race cars and build race cars, and so yeah,
• 43:11
  Speaker 4: I think it's really important because it gives you a
• 43:15
  Speaker 4: level of understanding about you know, you need you need
• 43:18
  Speaker 4: a fast car in order to go fast and to
• 43:21
  Speaker 4: help the whole process to you know, I feel like
• 43:25
  Speaker 4: you're like really good about helping your team get from
• 43:30
  Speaker 4: where if you're like you're all right to getting really
• 43:33
  Speaker 4: fast at mile and a half and you know some
• 43:35
  Speaker 4: of those other places. It's you know, in communication.
• 43:39
  Speaker 3: From working on right, having an understanding of what it
• 43:41
  Speaker 3: is that you want the race car too because you've
• 43:44
  Speaker 3: worked on it in yourself right, and that's Oh, there's
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: so many, so many roads to go down on this
• 43:49
  Speaker 3: topic in general. But but yeah, my dad's a hot rodder,
• 43:54
  Speaker 3: So I grew up working in the garage holding the
• 43:56
  Speaker 3: flashlight wrong, right, getting killed after that, and then eventually
• 43:59
  Speaker 3: learning the rest of it. But we were a race
• 44:00
  Speaker 3: fans and it carried over when we started racing. You
• 44:04
  Speaker 3: worked on your own stuff, and it was for several reasons.
• 44:07
  Speaker 3: One was to have an understanding and to say, hey,
• 44:09
  Speaker 3: it's it's in the right rear is where I need
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: better feel or more platform control, or something's wrong and
• 44:16
  Speaker 3: left front you know something along those lines. And it's
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: also an appreciation for equipment. Right when you work on
• 44:22
  Speaker 3: your own stuff, you don't go out there and crash
• 44:24
  Speaker 3: everything every week. Yeah, and if you do that, if
• 44:27
  Speaker 3: you out and crash every week, you don't spend any
• 44:29
  Speaker 3: time refining and making your stuff better. You just spend
• 44:32
  Speaker 3: time fixing it back to where it maybe was in
• 44:35
  Speaker 3: the get go. So it's helped us have an appreciation
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: for your race cars, for the work that goes into
• 44:43
  Speaker 3: our race cars, the brain of the racetrack every week,
• 44:46
  Speaker 3: and know that there's a lot of things that you
• 44:49
  Speaker 3: need to take care of it. And then there's this
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: car has changed a lot, right, this car is way
• 44:53
  Speaker 3: more robust and it doesn't require the level of respect
• 44:57
  Speaker 3: given to it with without a metal body, it's really
• 45:01
  Speaker 3: the main thing. And with breaks on them that are
• 45:05
  Speaker 3: that are so good now, whether it's transmissions, I don't
• 45:09
  Speaker 3: think of transmissions breaking at this point. It's just they're
• 45:11
  Speaker 3: more robust to the point where you don't have to
• 45:13
  Speaker 3: have respect for the race car as much as it
• 45:15
  Speaker 3: used to. But it was certainly extremely helpful getting going
• 45:19
  Speaker 3: through through the years.
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: With all the drivers on the field, how many of
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: them know what's going on mechanically, you like to a
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: level that you guys seem to be at.
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: Hear the way Chris was just talking. He went to
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: a little days for a minute there and he was like,
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: this guy's an encyclopedia. Yeah, he loves the craft. Yeah
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: he was other transmissions. I'll tell you. It was just
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: it was beautiful.
• 45:38
  Speaker 4: But I think as the newer drivers come in, the
• 45:40
  Speaker 4: younger drivers, there's not as much knowledge there for sure,
• 45:45
  Speaker 4: from what I see, but there's there's quite a few
• 45:48
  Speaker 4: drivers that have a strong understanding of you think it's
• 45:50
  Speaker 4: tasking the fast.
• 45:53
  Speaker 3: I think there's knows what's going on that. I bet
• 45:57
  Speaker 3: there's drivers that don't know how to charge a battery.
• 45:59
  Speaker 4: I wouldn't. Well, yeah, maybe for sure. William William has
• 46:04
  Speaker 4: been racing. He's more of just the driver. Nothing I
• 46:07
  Speaker 4: don't Yeah, you don't.
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: Fault that, but you don't like that he doesn't respect me.
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: Actually a way of doing things. You can tell he's
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: got a way of doing is not the way he
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: would do it. But hey, you know more than one cat,
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: I guess there is.
• 46:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's right.
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: And so you're like, William Byron, I love your craft.
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: I love the way you call what a cool story.
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't do it.
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: That comes up his mouth and William Bron comes up.
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: He's just a driver.
• 46:36
  Speaker 4: That was the New England in me, right there, he's
• 46:40
  Speaker 4: but well it's just it's totally different, right, and and
• 46:43
  Speaker 4: you know every driver is completely different. So William his
• 46:46
  Speaker 4: story and I don't I don't entirely know the whole thing,
• 46:49
  Speaker 4: but I want to say it started with I racing, right.
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and legs and racing, and then it was.
• 46:55
  Speaker 4: It was pretty wild and yeah for sure.
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I love it.
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: We're creating something.
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: We are we're becoming heel of Nascar. Yeah, don't go
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: on that show. They're going to fuck around the whole time.
• 47:10
  Speaker 4: I'm telling you, I feel like going to the RFK
• 47:13
  Speaker 4: gym has prepared me for this podcast.
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: Boys are going to be loving.
• 47:16
  Speaker 4: The difference is nobody's recording me at the RFK gym.
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, what is it? What is your stance on I
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: racing on the not for you, huh, you love it.
• 47:26
  Speaker 4: I think I Racing is a huge, like a great platform.
• 47:28
  Speaker 4: I did it when it first came out, and I
• 47:30
  Speaker 4: think two thousand and nine or right around there. It's
• 47:34
  Speaker 4: it's been out for a long time. But I did
• 47:36
  Speaker 4: before I Racing. It was called NASCAR Racing two thousand
• 47:39
  Speaker 4: and three, where you would like download the different cars
• 47:42
  Speaker 4: that you could import into like files on the back end.
• 47:45
  Speaker 4: And but yeah, I mean as I got older and
• 47:48
  Speaker 4: time became, you know, it was a lot a lot
• 47:51
  Speaker 4: harder to get free time. Now I don't do it
• 47:54
  Speaker 4: nearly as much.
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: What what what started your love for racing? Like as
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: a young lad, we got that, We got that bug
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: going for you.
• 48:03
  Speaker 4: My father, so my grandfather on my mother's side, he
• 48:07
  Speaker 4: owned a modified that race in uh at Riverside Park,
• 48:11
  Speaker 4: and then my father always wanted the race, so we
• 48:13
  Speaker 4: started racing in street stocks at Thompson, Connecticut, and then
• 48:18
  Speaker 4: he ended up going to late Models in Connecticut. And
• 48:20
  Speaker 4: then when I was six years old, he took myself
• 48:24
  Speaker 4: and my two older brothers to go check out what
• 48:27
  Speaker 4: they call quartermages, which is like a different version of
• 48:29
  Speaker 4: a go kart for for kids, and we went there
• 48:32
  Speaker 4: and that was it. It was like you went from
• 48:35
  Speaker 4: playing baseball and all your kids sports to going to
• 48:38
  Speaker 4: the racetrack every Saturday.
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, how about for you, Chris?
• 48:42
  Speaker 3: Uh, Like I said, my dad was a hot rodder,
• 48:44
  Speaker 3: so I was around cars a lot. We were at
• 48:47
  Speaker 3: a car shows in the racetrack and in Texas, so
• 48:51
  Speaker 3: we spent had season tickets to go to the races,
• 48:54
  Speaker 3: so we were around it.
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 48:56
  Speaker 3: Started off on motorcycles when I was five or six,
• 49:00
  Speaker 3: I think, And yeah, I mean we started racing those.
• 49:04
  Speaker 3: I flipped over the hand of bars and got run over,
• 49:08
  Speaker 3: and I think my mom kind of pulled the plug
• 49:10
  Speaker 3: on my motocross career right then. But my dad had
• 49:13
  Speaker 3: a coworker that was racing Legends cars out of Texamare
• 49:16
  Speaker 3: Speedway and in which are are you know five eight
• 49:21
  Speaker 3: scale race cars meant to look like the mid thirties
• 49:25
  Speaker 3: for Chevy Dodges that that were the moonshine running cars,
• 49:29
  Speaker 3: right Yeah, and fired off into that and and kind
• 49:34
  Speaker 3: of just caught a bug really quickly. I was like, Yeah,
• 49:37
  Speaker 3: this is this is way better than anything else I
• 49:40
  Speaker 3: could have come up with, and made it all the
• 49:42
  Speaker 3: way to I think thirteen years old remember having a
• 49:46
  Speaker 3: sit down in the living room in text and was like, Hey,
• 49:48
  Speaker 3: if this is, you know, a hobby, that's great. We'll
• 49:51
  Speaker 3: keep going to the racetrack on Saturday nights and we'll have
• 49:54
  Speaker 3: fun as long as it done interfere with you know,
• 49:58
  Speaker 3: schooling or you know, whatever path you want or if
• 50:00
  Speaker 3: you want this to be your career, it's time to commit.
• 50:03
  Speaker 3: And I was like, well, I don't want to say
• 50:06
  Speaker 3: it a desk, so and this is awesome. So we
• 50:09
  Speaker 3: took off to Charlotte, North Carolina at thirteen years old
• 50:13
  Speaker 3: as soon as school let out, and we started try
• 50:15
  Speaker 3: one up and down the East Coast racing legends cars,
• 50:17
  Speaker 3: just trying to get in front of the right people
• 50:18
  Speaker 3: and win the right races, and kind of took off
• 50:21
  Speaker 3: from there.
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: So guys, listen up, we need to talk about something
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: very serious. Oh no, breakfast. Okay, actually, yes, very serious
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: because for too long breakfast has been either nothing but coffee,
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: which is a crime, or a full production chopping, prepping, cooking, cleaning,
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: and by the time you're done, it's basically lunch exactly.
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: And that's why we are fired to have to announce
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: that Kevin's Natural Foods now has breakfast. Kevin's for breakfast.
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: You guys already know we love Kevin's for lunch and dinner,
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: and now that we get to officially add breakfast to
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: the morning routine. They're scrambler starters, which means you can
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: now eat Kevin's all day, every day. That's a complete system,
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: that's a winning game plan. Kevin's Scramble starters are legit.
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: They're made with tender protein, criss vegetables, and a creamy
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: sauce with insanely good flavors like Denver style ham and
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: white cheddar and spinach and bacon florentine. Just add eggs
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: for a delicious scramble in minutes. Plus. They're made with
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: real ingredients, no added sugars, gluten free, soy free, and
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: no mystery meat, just high quality protein. You got that right.
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: You just take the scramble starter out of the freezer,
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: throw it in a pan, add your eggs, drizzle in
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: the sauce, and in about fifteen minutes you've got a
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: real breakfast that's better than anything you've ordered at a restaurant,
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: but without waiting forty five minutes for a table. So yes,
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: Kevin'snatural Foods has breakfast now find Kevin's Scrambler starters in
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: the Frozen Isle at Target, Kroger, Harris, Teater, Giant, and
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: Hannaford's stores. Kevin's for breakfasts, Morning's just got a major upgrade.
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: How much is it a game of knowing the right
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: people and knowing the right person in this industry because
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: everybody has such a fascinating story for how they finally
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: cut their teeth into getting into the bigger leagues and
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: everything else.
• 52:13
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's everybody's story is way different. Like I'll
• 52:17
  Speaker 4: let you talk about yours and then I'll tell mine.
• 52:20
  Speaker 3: I'd say it it would shock you when you're thirteen
• 52:25
  Speaker 3: fifteen years old anywhere in there, right, and you're having
• 52:28
  Speaker 3: conversations with people friends you've made along the way, You
• 52:31
  Speaker 3: would never think that that was a friendship that was
• 52:34
  Speaker 3: going to lead to something bigger at the time. Right,
• 52:38
  Speaker 3: I've got friends, good friends that are all the way
• 52:42
  Speaker 3: in Las Vegas that had a huge impact in getting
• 52:45
  Speaker 3: me in front of the right people in North Carolina
• 52:47
  Speaker 3: through you know, different different connections they had to through
• 52:52
  Speaker 3: car dealerships. I've got you know, families that so David
• 52:58
  Speaker 3: Reagan is a retired race car driver that when he
• 53:02
  Speaker 3: moved out of his family's home in North Carolina, I
• 53:05
  Speaker 3: basically moved in shortly after. And that's how I was
• 53:08
  Speaker 3: able to come to North Carolina and live and and
• 53:11
  Speaker 3: be around them. So I worked in David's shop in
• 53:13
  Speaker 3: the unions. I volunteered for pitt practice at roush Uh
• 53:17
  Speaker 3: you know, just a homeschool through high school and uh,
• 53:20
  Speaker 3: like I've heard others talk about it, I had to
• 53:22
  Speaker 3: go get my ged just because it's didn't have time
• 53:26
  Speaker 3: to actually do real schooling. Worked out, Okay at the
• 53:30
  Speaker 3: end of the day, right, I can spell ged, So
• 53:32
  Speaker 3: that's all right.
• 53:34
  Speaker 4: I'll tell your your high school story was a little
• 53:37
  Speaker 4: different than mine.
• 53:38
  Speaker 3: My high school was pissed. We started missing all those
• 53:40
  Speaker 3: Friday races that did not go over whether like, yeah,
• 53:44
  Speaker 3: this is this is not acceptable. And I was like, well,
• 53:46
  Speaker 3: everyone's leaving for football games. And I think I was
• 53:49
  Speaker 3: in band and the marriage band was was a nice
• 53:52
  Speaker 3: touch this morning. And I did play trumpet in school
• 53:56
  Speaker 3: and I attempted to. I attempted to. I failed band.
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: And you should have said, give me that thing.
• 54:05
  Speaker 3: You ever reached the first chair, I never reached sixth
• 54:09
  Speaker 3: or seventh.
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: But there was one time in my life.
• 54:13
  Speaker 3: Sixth grade, well done.
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: I celebrated and everybody's face in the row, and then
• 54:17

• 54:21
  Speaker 3: Man, you got a good memory, man, because I remember.
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: I remember that moment when I finally reached the first chair.

  Speaker 1: But I was usually average fourth fifth chair, jealous of
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: the others, sat back your you know the little yeah.

• 54:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you had all of them, the percussion flutes, you
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: had trombones, tubas, saxophone. I was rocking the trumpet. I
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: thought it was what the cool kids did. Yeah, so
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: I did trump Because you had to choose between choir
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: and band in fifth, fifth and sixth grade, I would

• 55:08
  Speaker 4: with my guidance counselor. You got that's it, man, connect
• 55:13
  Speaker 4: you head to get Yeah, I didn't do this assignment.
• 55:16
  Speaker 4: I need to do this. Yeah, I missed this class,
• 55:19
  Speaker 4: try and get it done, but I graduated. Did graduate, dude,
• 55:23
  Speaker 4: with football.
• 55:24
  Speaker 2: For me, my guidance counselor was the golden key to
• 55:26
  Speaker 2: get to get to Michigan. My guidance counselor. I had
• 55:29
  Speaker 2: a thirty five percent in my Spanish class going into
• 55:31
  Speaker 2: the final, and if I did not get a C
• 55:34
  Speaker 2: in that class I went with the with the scale,
• 55:35
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't have been eligible to go to Michigan. So
• 55:38
  Speaker 2: I go into his room and I'm like, hey, I'm
• 55:40
  Speaker 2: not gonna I'm gonna do construction. It seems like that's
• 55:42
  Speaker 2: what I'm where I'm head. And he's like, go tate
• 55:44
  Speaker 2: the test and I'm like, no, dude, I'm not Why
• 55:46
  Speaker 2: would I do that. I'm go hand with the boys.
• 55:48
  Speaker 2: He's like, just go take the test. Get the little scantron.
• 55:51
  Speaker 2: Put see for every single answer, leave for like last
• 55:54
  Speaker 2: one in first one out. That scantron came back. I
• 55:57
  Speaker 2: got a seventy five percent in that class and I
• 55:59
  Speaker 2: was grading and going to Michigan. That guidance council end
• 56:02
  Speaker 2: up becoming the GM for the Raiders. Dave Ziggler, Yeah, yeah,
• 56:06
  Speaker 2: he was a gangster. Dude. He Without him, I'd be
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: working construction. We would not be hanging out on the road.
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: You know how much.
• 56:15
  Speaker 2: People just help. What's this? Uh a little note here,
• 56:18
  Speaker 2: says Daytona crash, Ryan's little crash. What happened here?
• 56:21
  Speaker 4: You want to show picture?
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: Remember show us the photos when he was naturally had
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: the massive wreck to where we're like, yo.
• 56:28
  Speaker 2: It's that's right. Yeah. I was too busy trying to
• 56:30
  Speaker 2: show you my truck and I couldn't figure it out
• 56:32
  Speaker 2: until Wilson. You got a blender, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 56:38
  Speaker 2: you know they're floating in the air right there, that's right.
• 56:44
  Speaker 2: And the wild that is crazy like a villain, and
• 56:52
  Speaker 2: that too.
• 56:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah to the moon that was, uh that was a
• 56:55
  Speaker 4: wild one. Honestly. There you go, Ryan Priest racing out shop.
• 57:00
  Speaker 4: Make sure you go get some merch. It's fine, but
• 57:05
  Speaker 4: it's uh yeah, I mean that that was a wild
• 57:07
  Speaker 4: one because I just remember getting hit from behind and
• 57:11
  Speaker 4: heading towards the grass and then everything getting completely silent
• 57:14
  Speaker 4: and that was it, and then I was out along
• 57:16
  Speaker 4: for the ride. So it's uh yeah, just uh. I
• 57:21
  Speaker 4: guess every NASCAR enthusiast that loves Daytona Motor Speedway is
• 57:25
  Speaker 4: pissed at me because the entire backstretch is just paved.
• 57:29
  Speaker 4: Now there's no grass really yeah yeah, And the reason
• 57:33
  Speaker 4: because is because when the car caught air going over. Yeah,
• 57:39
  Speaker 4: it's not over yet, don't worry. We still got another
• 57:41
  Speaker 4: few seconds. And right here, you're just not good. You
• 57:45
  Speaker 4: see remember Ricky Book, Ricky Bobby, He's just like, all right,
• 57:50
  Speaker 4: I'm flying. This is not good. That's exactly what was happening.
• 57:54
  Speaker 2: Things when you're in a crash like this, Is it
• 57:57
  Speaker 2: like happening in slow motion for you? Or is it
• 58:00
  Speaker 2: just chaos and all of a sudden it's over?
• 58:01
  Speaker 4: So I closed my eyes and I hope for the best.
• 58:04
  Speaker 4: So it happens pretty quick.
• 58:05
  Speaker 2: It kind of grab har.
• 58:06
  Speaker 4: I feel like if you keep your eyes open, it's
• 58:09
  Speaker 4: probably gonna go a lot slower. But they also say
• 58:11
  Speaker 4: there's a good chance that your eyes could like fly
• 58:12
  Speaker 4: out of here.
• 58:13
  Speaker 2: What Yeah, that sounds like one of those like if
• 58:17
  Speaker 2: you your eyes open, your eyes are gonna pop out. Man.
• 58:20
  Speaker 2: You have you have you heard that as a kid?
• 58:22
  Speaker 4: Yep?
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: Or they're trying to like just trying to get us
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: and believe in that right exactly.
• 58:26
  Speaker 4: They say spring car drivers like World of out Law Drivers.
• 58:29
  Speaker 4: They say, if you don't like, there's been some that
• 58:32
  Speaker 4: gracing too. Yeah, if you keep your eyes open, Yeah,
• 58:36
  Speaker 4: you close your eyes.
• 58:38
  Speaker 2: Okay, I pull it up. Has anybody ever had their
• 58:40
  Speaker 2: eyes pop out of their.
• 58:41
  Speaker 3: Head when they pull the shoes? They got to close
• 58:43
  Speaker 3: their eyes at the end. It's three hundred mile an hour.
• 58:45
  Speaker 2: Two?
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: So that was you two?
• 58:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, pretty bad habit.
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: But I love it. That one right here? Did this
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: come after?
• 58:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 58:56
  Speaker 4: That one was after. That was the one that I
• 58:58
  Speaker 4: ended up doing, the whole spaceship thing. That one actually
• 59:01
  Speaker 4: hurt worse. My shoulder was didn't feel great for a
• 59:06
  Speaker 4: solid two months after that.
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: In the moment when it's happening, are you thinking, oh
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: my god, not again? Yeah?
• 59:11
  Speaker 4: I thought I was gonna fly out of the track,
• 59:13
  Speaker 4: because when it shows it, if you go back, if
• 59:16
  Speaker 4: you actually go back to when the car took off,
• 59:18
  Speaker 4: all I can see is just the sky, and I
• 59:21
  Speaker 4: know I'm going two hundred miles an hour, right, so
• 59:23
  Speaker 4: I'm thinking I'm going out of the race straight.
• 59:25
  Speaker 3: So you could have just as easily been thirty feet
• 59:27
  Speaker 3: off the ground as four feet off the ground right
• 59:29
  Speaker 3: there in your mind?
• 59:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, that's.
• 59:32
  Speaker 2: Who's the driver that bumped he there?
• 59:35
  Speaker 4: Uh, well, actually I didn't in the first one. It
• 59:39
  Speaker 4: was actually I love that one. No, so the twenty recks.
• 59:42
  Speaker 4: Then he comes back across and gets my right front.
• 59:44
  Speaker 4: So it happened to be around the forty three.
• 59:46
  Speaker 3: Again, that's never happened like that before, and it hasn't
• 59:50
  Speaker 3: since the way that the car took off and just
• 59:53
  Speaker 3: caught air with the nose. Yeah, it'll probably never happen again.
• 59:57
  Speaker 3: It's good job.
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: Buddy, It's tough. What is your direction after this?
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 4: Uh, it's kind of normal.
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 2: Well what is it? Okay, let's just potentially we don't
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 2: know what normal is. When you see a car, especially
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 2: second Oh my god. Right, well see that's the.
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: When, especially the second one, it's kind of like, hey,
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: what do we fucking what are we doing?
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 4: So to most people, if they haven't accent in their life,
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 4: it's a big deal, right Like for us every weekend
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 4: there's a chance that we could we can end up wrecking,
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 4: especially I guess like that. My wife I actually used
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 4: to race against her, so she's a racer, so she understands,
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 4: like when you get in a wreck, it's just part
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 4: of the game. When you strap in.
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: So she's saying, walk it off. Yeah, all right, all right,
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: let's star.
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's it. Make a T shirt, my wife make
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 4: a T shirt.
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 3: And yeah, my wife makes me. Uh she says, you
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 3: have to key up the button once it's over. Just
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 3: let me know you're okay, says I'm on the radio.
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 3: I'm listening if I'm at home wherever it is. And
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 3: uh so I know that. And uh and while my
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 3: last flip was not as spectacular, my last one landed
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 3: upside down and the radio antenna broke off. So I'm
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 3: in there keying up saying, hey, I'm I'm fine, you know,
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 3: mainly for team Spot wife everybody. And it was like
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 3: seven minutes. It was it was only the second car
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 3: to flip with the next gen car, and they couldn't
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 3: figure out how to flip it back over someth like
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 3: seven minutes, suspend it upside down. I'm starting to cut
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 3: jokes in the car on the radio, like I think
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 3: I'm the funniest guy in the room, right and uh
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 3: the radio was broke out of the things and no
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 3: one heard a thing.
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so everybody, like I'm already in tears thinking we
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: haven't got them on the radio.
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 3: So my wife was in the grandstands at the top
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 3: right below the condos here at Charlotte and ran down
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 3: through the tunnel to the infield care center and I
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 3: came out of there. I was like, are you okay?
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 4: She's all winded sweating.
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 3: He's uh right at the time, and I was like, yeah,
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 3: I'm good, are you?
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 2: Nothing came out of this one.
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 3: No, that was just that's just sitting in the museum
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 3: now at our shop. For some reason, I thought there
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 3: was cooler stuff to put in there, but.
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 2: Just what not to do on a race?
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: Daga. Yeah, Bro, that first one you at uh at Daytona,
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: that is.
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 2: Crazy insane and it looked like someone just kind of
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 2: bumped you there.
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah. No, I mean you get hit the wrong way
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 4: at a super speedway. Your car could just go flying.
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 2: You might be a good person to answer this question
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 2: for me when you that first, that first one where
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 2: it seems like it's an innocent bump. How does NASCAR
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 2: figure out what's intentional and not intentional? Yeah, that was
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 2: bumping somebody.
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 4: I mean that that was one hundred percent just trying
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 4: to actually push me forward. That he had no intentions
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 4: to turn me sideways. It was just you know, with
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 4: depending on if you're in a Toyota Chevrolet Afford, how
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 4: you hit somebody. So at that time, I don't know
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 4: if Toyota had different bumpers or if it was a
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 4: Chevrolet that he was driving at the time. Like Chevy specifically,
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 4: they have a point on the front of their the
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 4: center of their nose, and if they would hit you
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 4: offset to the right a little bit, it's just going
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 4: to shoot you into the infield. So uh, it was
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 4: actually really difficult for some of the other OEMs to
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 4: push at a super speedway and when you're getting down
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 4: to the final five seven laps of super speedway race,
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 4: patience goes down to where you're just like trying to
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 4: figure out a way to get forward. And that's ultimately
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 4: what happened.
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: Is it still like that to where cars have like
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 1: a different bumper on the front, It seems like the
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: point with you an advantage.
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they got anodynamics, but you're just science.
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, just science again, just science. The Chevy's got a
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 3: change this year to where they have a flatter bumper
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 3: to where they they definitely wind up and they it's
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 3: more comfortable being in front of them taking pushes now
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 3: than it was at that point for sure.
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, was it was there like a big thing that
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 2: took place for them to change that bumper where why
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 2: has to do something different here?
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 4: Well, it seemed like at certain race tracks they'd be
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 4: good and then when you'd go to super speedway racing
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 4: there their downfall was they couldn't push like all of
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 4: us forwards like the Fords, we could lock bumpers down
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 4: the straightaway and just haul the mail. And I don't
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 4: know if they changed some of that because of that,
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 4: but uh, but yeah.
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 2: Ford's just the best though.
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 3: That's it.
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 2: He was just trying to baby, just trying to keep
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 2: up with Ford.
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: In your guys' opinion, being a couple racers now, like
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: looking back at the era of the nineties and early
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: two thousands, what do you think needs to take place
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: in this generation or era to get you know, like
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: that When people say get back to stuff.
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 3: Like that, what do you really want to get back
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 3: to is the question? At times? Right, there was some
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 3: epic battles at that time, and there are some races
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 3: that you go back and watch and you're like, man,
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 3: I wish it was like that every week and then
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 3: there's other races that that are not talked about anymore,
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 3: and for good reason, because there was nothing exce about it, right,
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 3: it got strung out. It was hard to pass at time.
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 3: So we have a way of remembering the highlights, I
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 3: would say, in a lot of those scenarios, and it's
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 3: not always the case now that The next problem is
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 3: we have very smart people in our sport, extremely smart people.
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 3: I don't claim to be one of them, but we
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 3: have others that work on a race cars that have
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 3: figured out how to I got a guy, but they
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 3: figured out that the race cars back then, you know,
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 3: they were eight inches off the ground in the nose right,
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 3: and you know they didn't look as sporty. But it
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 3: put on some great race and we've learned since then.
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 3: You steal the cars off to the racetrack, it makes
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 3: insane amount of downforce, makes more speed, and ultimately sometimes
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 3: it doesn't make the racing better, but it's faster. You
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 3: can't tell our people now that, hey, we want it
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 3: to look more like this, so why don't you just
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 3: raise the car up and and make it look like
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 3: it did back in the night. We can't unlearn what
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 3: we've gotten.
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 2: To Yeah, as modern racers, does it ever get frustrating
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 2: hearing about like the prime of NASCAR in that late nineties,
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 2: early two thousands, Like, you're racing here in twenty twenty six,
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 2: and you guys are putting a great product out there.
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 2: When you go to the races, you're like, this is
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 2: amazing to watch. But then there's still these like back
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 2: in my day type people that are kind of pressing
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 2: on like, well back then it was more like it
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 2: was better because of X, Y and Z. Yeah, so it.
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 4: You know, as time goes on, everybody else is going
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 4: to be talking about their good times, right. I think
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 4: for me is I want natural rivalries to come back
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 4: and something to where it's not, i don't know, just
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 4: a little pure. And I feel like, much like Steve
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 4: has said, we're heading back in that direction, more raw,
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 4: and I think that's what sells, to be honest with you,
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 4: I think seeing the things that as a race fan
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 4: with Shane and Austin Hill and Zane and Carson hosts
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 4: of R and the list goes on, letting it naturally
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 4: play out is what's exciting and then.
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 1: Trying to manufacture it correct. Yeah. What what is interesting? Though?
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 1: So sitting with Jeff Gordon yesterday, and I know there's
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 1: like documentaries and stuff on some of these old rivalries
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: as well, but it did feel like when jeff'son here
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: recounting a lot of stuff, he wished he had been
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 1: in on Earnhardt's brain, because Earnhardt is manufacturing some of
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 1: it and fans are manufacturing some of it to war,
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 1: it is a little bit more theatrical. Whereas the rivalry
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 1: is true, the competitive nature as far as disliking each
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: other didn't seem like that was necessarily there. And Jeff
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: being young and knowing that Dale might be on the
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: mic before he gets on and be like, oh, what
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 1: are we gonna celebrate? We're gonna celebrate with milk with
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 1: this guy instead of beer, the American way, all that
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 1: kind of stuff, to where some of it did seem
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: a little manufactured and playing into it. Does that even
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 1: make sense? I am not making any sense. It felt
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 1: like he was organic, but a lot of it was
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 1: fan based centric and Dale's like Dale had a brain
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 1: of thinking, more business savvyteur. Jeff wasn't necessarily in on it,
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: and he's like, I wish I kind of would have known,
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 1: because it would it would boil his blood and he
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 1: just knew that. Dale's just like getting under his skin.
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's the authenticity. You can't have everybody in
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 2: on what you're trying to do. People are going to
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 2: try to manufacture a little bit more. Yeah, you always
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 2: got to have one guy kind of pushing the cart
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 2: forward of the chaos and the rivalries and stuff like that. Yeah,
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 2: it's interesting, like the natural rivalries, like it is like
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 2: fascinating and it is something that we talk about so
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 2: much on this show. Is we need to get to
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 2: that like the WWE style UFC where guys are a
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 2: little more open about saying something a little more pushing
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 2: and shoving in like a I don't want to say
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 2: like tasteful way, because it's very difficult to be tasteful
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 2: in a fight, but just like adding that kind of
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 2: like oh shit, I wonder what's going to happen next
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 2: week or this next episode that's going to take place
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 2: in the reality TV of Nascar.
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 4: Also, what do you guys have in football anything like that.
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 2: There's rivalries in the sense that like I played for
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 2: the Titans my whole career, so like AFC South is
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 2: your rivals like you have the Colts, the Texans and
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 2: the Jaguars as well, and then you internally will have
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 2: battles with people and sometimes they'll be public, sometimes it
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 2: won't be public. But there's so many games taking place
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 2: and that there's always going to be something to grab
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 2: and pull in these Oh, Jalen Ramsey and Odell got
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 2: into it, and look at how viral this situation is.
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 2: That's happening on the West coast and on the East coast,
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 2: there's a five more things happening for you guys. It's
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 2: all one isolated event taking place on Sunday, individuals individuals,
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 2: and it's like, I'm not gonna like turn off this
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 2: NASCAR event to go turn on that NASCAR events, Like
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 2: we can watch these three four hours of you guys
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 2: racing right now, and that's it. So it's much easier
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 2: for the NFL to go pluck with sixteen games going
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 2: on on a Sunday afternoon.
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you kind of get drafted or recruited or whatever
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 1: into the robbery that's already existing right when it comes
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 1: to team dynamic to where it might be take Titans
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 1: and Jaguars to where you get drafted there and you
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 1: kind of know, this is the team you got, guys,
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 1: the team that fans love to hate again, So you
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 1: might just play up your own little theater in your
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 1: head about making it that much more of our Michigan
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 1: Ohio state. When a kid comes there from California, they
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 1: might know about the rivalry, but you don't really understand
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 1: until you're in those buildings. It's like, this is the
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 1: fucking game we gotta win. This is where it just elevates,
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 1: whether it's your personality or your style of play, or
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 1: the team style of play, feeding off of your fan bases.
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 4: So as your matchups, though, would you have did you
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 4: ever end up building a rivalry somebody who you were
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 4: going to be matched up with for a game?
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, especially for my position, he was different
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 2: because he's like in the center of the defense. He's
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 2: kind of controlling where everybody's going, and then he's reacting
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 2: and playing off that. I was left tackle south stationary.
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna be in the same place every single time,
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 2: and a lot of teams would just have one d
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 2: M that would go against me. So it's like there's
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 2: multiple games happening in one game. So yeah, for me,
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 2: it was very easy to have isolated, go back and forth,
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 2: like we have a rivalry taking place. This is a
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 2: corner that he and I got into it. But three
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 2: times when you play the same team twice in three
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 2: weeks and so this it would be like it would
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 2: become bigger in your head and based on the media,
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 2: mugglet what happened the week prior, that would be a
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 2: bigger deal. But going back to will like when you
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 2: get to college. I grew up in Arizona, and Arizona
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 2: is one of the most fair weather fans sports states
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 2: you'll ever been in your life. Like they unless their
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 2: teams are good, they're kind of like, yeah, sports are
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 2: going on, but they're kind of all outside. So when
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 2: I go to Michigan, I am like I am learning firsthand.
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 2: I'm drinking the kool aid of Michigan and Ohio State.
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 2: This is the game, the biggest robbery in sports, Like,
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 2: but it's fed to you from the minute you walk
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 2: in the building to you essentially graduate. When you get
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 2: drafted in the NFL, it's like we have jobs to do,
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 2: Like the guys have families. I'm getting in there. I'm
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 2: twenty one years old when I get drafted, and I
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 2: got the guy in front of me, he's thirty five
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 2: years old and he's got two kids, and they kind
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 2: of do their thing and they go home. So it's
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 2: it's much harder to cause things like this to take place.
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 2: You have to take it upon yourself. And that's that's
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 2: kind of what I decided to do in this situation, right.
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah, So how personal does it get for you guys
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 4: in this in this situation, Like does it get left
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 4: on the field or does it does it go beyond that?
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 2: I mean, do you want to speak to that or me?
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 1: Personally? I never had any that were like beyond the field,
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 1: Like if you're you're getting into any situations, you just
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 1: you're almost feeding off of the team and the people
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 1: around you.
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 4: So when the game ends, it's over.
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah okay, Yeah for for myself, speaking for myself.
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree with that. Like once a game is over,
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 2: to me, it's like everything that just happened is now
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 2: a wash, Like we're all good. I was very mouthy.
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 2: I talked a lot of shit, and I would definitely
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 2: irritate guys, So I could see there was multiple accounts.
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 2: Even my teammates wrell be like no, fuck this guy,
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 2: Like this guy sucks, and but for me, it was
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 2: like I enjoyed, like getting under people's skin, having them
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 2: kind of hate me a little bit, and then after
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 2: the game they did a good job, but there was
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 2: a I mean, there's probably a dozen football players out
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 2: there that think I'm gay because I wouldn't say crazy
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 2: shit to them, and it just yeah, and after the
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 2: game they'd be like, are you hey, listen, I'm not,
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 2: but I was in your head for four course, cand
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 2: I get them going, so yeah, And I feel like
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 2: in the individualized.
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 1: Jeffery Starry individualized sport, it's almost like trying to take
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 1: pages from UFC fighters or the WWE, where it's you're
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 1: having to sell the fight, you're having to sell yourself.
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 1: So you're having to do things where you're engaging with
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 1: the fan base, getting the fan base going, then almost
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 1: speaking to the fan base or acting on behalf of
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 1: the fan base more than I actually do hate this guy,
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 1: because you're just trying to forward think on how where
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 1: some of the manufacturing would play a little bit of
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 1: a factor in the individual sports, right unless you're just
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 1: so dominant. It's like, again you think of like Earnharder
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 1: Jeff Gordon I'm kind of talking out on my ass
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 1: because it's not like I was a NASCAR siko, but
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 1: guys who were so dominant to our fan base kind
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 1: of just gets created. When you're younger trying to come
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 1: up and trying to break through it, there is a
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 1: part of you that's got to it's got to do
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 1: something that would cut through to build your own little
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 1: like build the astronaut t shirt, like capitalizing on moments,
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 1: the kind of build your personality because you don't have
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 1: something that you're getting drafted into per se unless you're
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 1: part of you get signed with RFK or Henrick Hendricks,
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 1: the big name that kind of comes across when you're
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 1: for them, they kind of have a baked in They
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 1: kind of have the baked in fan base. So where
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 1: then you you know how to leverage yourself with your
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 1: fan base to go after another team.
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 2: There's a whole different game to be played.
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Different, Yeah, totally a lot of ours.
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 4: We don't We don't talk a lot of shit to
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 4: each other, Yeah, because talking a lot of ship can
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 4: end up having you get wrecked pretty quick.
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 3: And you don't get to banter during right. It becomes
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 3: physical with race cars, which doesn't just affect you versus
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 3: the other driver, it's your entire team, right, It's definitely
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 3: if you cut a tire down just because you're bantering
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 3: back and forth, you're you're going to ruin your day. Essentially.
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 2: There's definitely got to be a fine line to be
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 2: played there because just having a mis steve on him
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 2: talking about how you guys as individuals, like your brands
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 2: are what also keeps the ship of NASCAR, especially the
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 2: day and age with living now, you said, like I
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 2: don't even know what you tweet at or do whatever. Twitter.
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 2: It's like that is a huge machine now that you
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 2: guys can use to your advantage to get paid more money,
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 2: to have people more interested, all all those things. So
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 2: it it's like an untapped world kind of taking place,
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 2: and like in a world that's more like, hey, we're
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 2: not about the bullshit, we're about racing, We're about all this.
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 2: So it's like an interesting world you guys kind of
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 2: have to Yeah, is colliding whether you like it or not.
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 1: And there's just so much much more parody in your guys' sport,
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 1: Like if you you know again, if you're if you're
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 1: speaking toward like a fighter, UFC fighter, and you know
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 1: you're dominant as fuck. Like everything in between the match,
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 1: the pre the build up, the post, you kind of
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 1: talk your shit however you believe it's your confidence level.
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 1: There's almost an element in racing to where the times
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 1: to do it would be in between races, or you're
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 1: on the podcast or you're doing the things, to where
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 1: you can build it up any way you want. But
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 1: there's also such a risk factor because there is so
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 1: much parody tour. If you don't show up, it's a
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 1: full bet on yourself, and there's so much more parody
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 1: in your guys' field, to where I kind of seem
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 1: obnoxious if I would talk a little shit right here,
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 1: Whereas if you're the champion of the world and you
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 1: know it's just one on one and like, yeah, this
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 1: dude ain't gonna he's not gonna mess with my stuff.
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 1: You're gonna be able to build it up and promote
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 1: it the way you want to say. Yeah, for sure,
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 1: we kind of just cooked right there in our little brainstorm.
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 2: I feel like we did possible. I feel we're out there.
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 2: It's really just for the audience. Did you guys ever
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 2: get nervous racing like I feel. Every racer I talked
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 2: to is like, no, when I get the race day,
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 2: it's just like, yeah, we'll go race. I'll find how
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 2: competitive I am in the first lap.
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 4: You know, the only time I've ever been nervous was
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 4: actually because you're you're going to talk about this in
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 4: a second. Is the Crown Vix when Chris, Brad, myself,
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 4: Cletus and and uh We're out at Talladega and this
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 4: is all during Brad's recovery and we're going one hundred
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 4: and sixty miles an hour in a Crown Vic at Talladega.
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 4: And I remember we were we were hitting the nitrous
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 4: buttons down the straight away to go as fast as
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 4: we can. I'm sitting here thinking like because Brad's leading
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 4: the pack, I'm like, we're gonna kill our team owner here, Like,
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 4: this is the wildest thing I've ever done in my life.
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 4: Have you ever been in a Crown Vic.
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 2: I've been in a Crown Vic.
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 3: On front seater, back seat.
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 2: It's very once in a back seat, I'll do honest
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 2: about that. But you know, mostly passenger princess with vic,
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 2: which is nice. Yeah, that's that's gotta be terrifying because
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 2: there's gotta be a level of safety. You'd be like,
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 2: all right, got the nets, I got the fire set on.
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 2: I feel good. I'm not seatbelt, I'm clicked in here.
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 2: These crown Vics are just raw dogging correct, Like.
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 4: My man, uh no that I mean they're they're safeish
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 4: like that.
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 2: I don't feel like you're safe at all.
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 4: But my man, like, you're going one hundred and forty
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 4: one hundred and fifty miles an hour at Talladay got
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 4: in a quote pretty much a stock crown Vic that
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 4: just has a cage in it and a bottle of nitrous.
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 2: And this is this is Kletus is set up correct? Yes,
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 2: so Klidas does this every single year. Travis Pistrada was
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 2: telling is this what he was telling us about?
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 1: Yep, he said we need to come out and do it.
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 1: And I think in my head like.
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, y'all need to do it.
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it sounds terrifying.
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 1: Like if you're talking about it as a racer crown
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 1: Vic nitrous.
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 4: Well, it's a lot of fun. It's like the adult
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 4: version of a goat krt. Right, So when you go
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 4: to a go kart track and it's got a six
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 4: and a half horsepower engine on it and you're driving around. Yeah,
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 4: it's fun. But driving around in a four thousand pounds missile,
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 4: as Kleatus calls at around a racetrack is the most
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 4: fun you'll ever have as a race car driver.
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 2: Super how bad at the recks? Guys pretty nice about it?
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 2: Or what we don't have that happened?
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 3: We Yeah, we avoided that in this particular instance.
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 4: Would you do that? Should you?
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 2: Look? What is tandem mean? Okay? Got you? Yeah? I mean,
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 2: I guess I don't know what I don't know.
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 1: I guess the answer is I feel being the pusher
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 1: because it's a raw driver.
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 4: Tandem is if I'm out there so much.
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 1: Just saw my back end like buddy, come on, shaking.
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 4: There was shaking, bake in that moment.
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 3: There was definitely it was.
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 4: Uh, that was just the wildest thing you can ever
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 4: do as a race car driver.
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 2: If someone gave me like three or four days with
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 2: a professional and was like, this is how you should
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 2: do X, Y and Z, this is how you you know,
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 2: push somebody draft all the that, and I got just
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 2: a quick general studies degory on it, I think I'd
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 2: have a lot more fun doing it. But if you're like, hey,
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 2: just show up here, I think it's November thirteenth this
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 2: year and go race Talladay getting Crown Vicks. You know,
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 2: I don't know if that foot is hitting the ground,
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 2: if you know what I mean. When it comes to
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 2: the gas at first.
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, unless.
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 1: You're just by yourself and you just hit the straightaway.
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 1: The boys are either upfront or you're having to be leading,
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 1: and it's like a little bit.
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 4: And that's kind of how it was when we showed
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 4: up to Talladega and they were like, oh yeah, you're
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 4: gonna go out on the racetrack and Crown Vix with
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 4: Kletus and all this. When we pulled off Pitt Road,
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 4: I'm like, I don't drive these things all the time.
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 4: I don't know how they're gonna feel. So we pull
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 4: off Pitt Road and we're getting up the speed and
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 4: all of a sudden, I see Chris's head fly back
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 4: because Cletus just came and absolutely bump drapped the hell
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 4: out of them.
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 2: And I'm talking like.
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 3: Probably would have set airbags off if they'd have been
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 3: hooked up.
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 2: No way. Yeah yeah, So it's a cage no, and
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 2: then the rest of its stock that's it, and how
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 2: many laps are you all hitting?
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 1: It was?
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 4: Really probably did what twenty or twenty five?
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 3: We overheated a car every four or five laps?
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 2: Oh no, s hyeah from.
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 3: Pushing a little too tight, not getting any air to it.
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 2: And how long is this? So you guys are all
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 2: just looks like the Blue Angels right there.
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 3: Effort right here as a team effort.
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it looks like the one of the.
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 2: Backs kind of locking it up a little bit.
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 3: Come on, I was working on it.
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 2: You're just kind of behind.
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 3: So I mean, I'm trying to push. I'm trying not
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 3: to push on corner entry, for one, which is about
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 3: where this is filmed.
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 2: Going to corner entry, I think, well, and I wouldn't
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 2: even know that.
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 3: So we want to connect on corner on exit and
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 3: everyone be as straight as possible, hit bumpers and hold
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 3: on right hit the nitrous and tandem. Well, I guess
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 3: it's I don't know what's quantum? Quantum?
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 2: Yea quantum. That's a real word.
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 3: I didn't graduates, don't look at you. Just you try
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 3: and get that straight away. Right when you get to
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 3: the corner, you cannot you cannot go as fast because
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 3: you are scrubbing speed out and it is a little
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 3: sketchier at that point.
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 4: It's a lot sketchy, but much Oh my god, you
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 4: want to know what? So I just did? Uh? I
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 4: did a race in in New England on this past Friday,
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 4: and it was a Crown Vic race with with all
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 4: those guys like Cleaves, McFarlane he's got all his buddies
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 4: and uh Vaughan getting who's a professional drifter, and you know,
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 4: the list goes on. And we were doing this race
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 4: and you're just out there, you're hitting your nitro spot
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 4: and you're sliding into each other. You're hitting each other
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 4: for normal people. That's not exciting for a race car
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 4: driver where we aren't supposed to like absolutely harpoon. And
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 4: when I say harpoon, I mean like punt, like punt
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 4: people bump them.
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 4: Where you can just go out and have free rein
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 4: and do that and not get in trouble. It's great.
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 4: That was a lot of fun.
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 1: Each other.
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's of a Sunday cruise, right, it's not as competitive,
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 3: like you're still gonna compete, but it's it's almost easy.
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 3: You're going so slow. I haven't actually done the race yet,
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 3: but yeah, it's always seems like it's just fun. Right.
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 3: You get to play around and get moved around, and
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 3: almost you almost feel like you're cheating because you're a
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 3: little bit more qualified than others around. Either.
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, give me a little breakdown on this Cleidas McFarland fellow,
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 2: because when we started this, I had like ten friends
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 2: reach out to me, like you got to get Cleatis
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 2: McFarlane on this guy. His YouTube channel is incredible. I
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 2: wasn't savvy to his game, but like, how what was
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 2: this guy's come up? How close are we with this
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 2: Cleatis guy?
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 4: So I've just gotten to do some of these events
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 4: with him, but I can appreciate his story of how
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 4: he started to where his channel has grown. And you know,
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 4: I was a big fan of thirteen twenty video, which
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 4: is a you know, car street racing YouTube channel, and
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 4: so he was a videographer on there, and he on
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 4: one episode there was a there was a he ended
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 4: up doing his own little joking skit and that's how
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 4: Kleatus McFarland was born and that's how his channel ended
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 4: up happening. So he could obviously go way more into
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 4: detail on his own story, but I can appreciate it,
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 4: and it's just it's absolutely wild see what it was
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 4: to what it is now and uh so yeah, it

• 1:25:25
  Speaker 2: sell these horses. Yeah. I grew up on a ranch,
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 2: and so I just I watched too many people just

  Speaker 2: think they're going to make a bunch of money on
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 2: horses and then lose their ass on it. And so

  Speaker 2: wins a raining thing, and then do that and I
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 2: promise we're gonna make our money back.
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 1: They make it seem very profitable.
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 2: I don't know if you had this experience, but did
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 2: horse people just growing up? But horse people are some
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 2: of the slightest of hand people you'll meet. They're a
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 2: little skivy, you know what I'm saying. So it's just
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 2: a it's a snake oil. Yeah, there's snake oil. Everything's this,
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 2: it's always something. And then all that, then you had

• 1:28:18
  Speaker 2: I'm thinking maybe they just are resilient creatures, dude.
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 4: So there's a similar story. Actually, So my wife at

  Speaker 4: She's like, well, I put in this application for this
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 4: guinea pig that needed to be adopted, and our application
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 4: got accepted. And I said, huh okay, so we're just
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 4: gonna do these things without asking each other. Now, Yeah,
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 4: next thing, I knew I had a race car. She
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 4: wasn't impressed.
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 2: What crazy? Yeah, this goes back to the prank. So
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 2: you just took it five times too far. She can
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 2: take guinea pig. She gets a two dollars and sixty
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 2: cent animal from pet Smart. You're like, I'm gonna buy
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 2: a race car that's exact, and now we're even You.
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 3: Know what happens to that race car if you don't
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 3: feed it or go out and look at it for
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 3: three weeks at a time.
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 2: Nothing, absolutely nothing, little dust, little dust, get charger on
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 2: that thing a day, no problem. Give me a pig, dude.
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 2: You look at it the wrong way that things have
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 2: a little seizure falling apart.
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 1: I have a I have a pig out in Nebraska. Yeah, earl, earl,
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 1: he does what I did. Some heartbreaking stuff happened this week,
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 1: and I'll let you have the floor on that, oh,
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 1: this isn't necessarily and so this this family reached out
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 1: their Husker fans and they were asking if I could
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 1: donate so their kid could get a pig out of Nebraska.
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 1: He just wanted to raise it, like take it to
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 1: some bears and stuff like that. And you know, me
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 1: and Jerry were just kind of chuckling, and I'm like, dude,
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 1: let's get let's let's give him some money to go
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 1: get his pig. And they've just I'm just thinking, I'm
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 1: giving him money to go get a pig. And they've
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 1: updated us without us, as in, she's updated us the
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 1: whole time. And apparently Earl. I was like, I'll get
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 1: the pig if you name him Earl. I want to say,
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 1: I gave a few different options for naming the pig,
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 1: and they're like, well name them Earle. So lay by
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 1: this pig, Earl, who doesn't come from apparently what do
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 1: they call it, generational generational show pigs.
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 2: He does or does not.
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 1: Earl doesn't come from generational show pig, a generational show
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 1: pig family. He comes from the mud. So they get Earl.
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 1: They we beef him up a little bit, get him
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 1: on the PDS. And I'm making that up. But he
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 1: goes and does a fair out in Nebraska this weekend.
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 1: He got fourth in his weight class. They beef him
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 1: up to like two hundred and fifty plus pounds, and
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 1: so I got to pick somewhere out in Nebraska an
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 1: investment pig. I'm like an angel investor for this kid.
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 1: But he's out there having fun raising his pig and
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 1: showing it in fairs, and I've grown to kind of
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 1: They update U with photos and I've kind of just
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 1: grown to kind of love the pig. He's not mine
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 1: ownly got to take care of him. I hope he
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 1: does well, and people are like, oh no, they're probably.
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 3: Gonna so, yeah, what happens at the end.
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 1: I don't know Earl that he doesn't become bacon.
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 2: If they do send us some.
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 3: I think he can be your pet when they're done showing.
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 3: When he gets too big, I think think you can.
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 1: Just keep kids bought in like that's his boy, Like
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 1: Earl's his boy, and so I hope Earl lives a
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 1: long life.
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 2: You know what we should do. We should double down
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 2: and go get the best pig so this this boy
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 2: can win his thing. He can go get first place.
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 1: I don't even know the firs. I don't know if
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 1: they do like pig drills or something to show them off.
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 2: You've never seen. Was it Charlotte's Web?
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 1: I mean several times.
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 2: I kind of get him. They get them all they
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 2: you know, they think and stuff like that. I think
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 2: he had a grease smut make him look nice.
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 3: The Towaday nights of the Pig Show.
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 2: There's there's untapped potential here, dude. I had a pig
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 2: in college. His name was doctor Hamle. With the third
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 2: he did, he was I didn't do good with the hoofs.
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 2: He was confined this old carpet space. He got very
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 2: aggressive and territorial and he would burrow into this blanket.
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 2: It's just pigs are kind of high maintenance.
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I have no again, you know your boy, I'm
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 1: hands off, but I get these updates. I mean, look
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 1: at this update results from the show. Fourth in his
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 1: weight class from market borrows is it borrows, burrows, barrels, barrows,
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 1: and came out with the blue ribbon. In showmanship, they
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 1: only ranked the top person. Unfortunately he didn't get that rank. However,
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 1: he fought to the very end, and that's all I
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 1: needed to know that. Yeah, I'm glad this pig. This
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 1: pig seems like he's in good hands with a good team.
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 1: He went up against lifetime generational show pig families. We
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 1: are so proud of Earl and Skyler. It was a
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 1: battle and they fought for it. Now to look forward
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 1: to next year.
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 2: See see all, I'm here and there is We had
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 2: to take down those generational families like bust.
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 1: Went the boys.
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 2: He's getting the pig game.
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Earl's no, he's not. He's not a privileged pig.
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 2: Maybe you guys want to jump in as well?
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 4: Do you think release that was a pretty good one.
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 1: Fall to the man, like, I don't even know how
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 1: they fight to the very end.
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 2: Probably that kind of makes it sound like Earl's and
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 2: alonger with us.
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 1: It was a good scene.
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 2: That looks like the shoulders of Kirk Herb Street's Golden Retriever.
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 1: The handlers too, how focused they are, and then look.
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 2: At that thing. Would you guys just sit in investing
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 2: in a pig with us?
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 4: Somebody who's walking out driver intros like that. I just
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 4: feel like you win.
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 1: You Yeah, so I get a pig name Mastern.
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 3: I know too, much about this world.
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 2: You know, I didn't do this, Yes, what happened the
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 2: story for Earl?
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 3: I have a very good friend who's uh whose kids
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 3: showed pigs and did extremely well. And uh, I just
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 3: want to point out that if you want to invest
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 3: and you want to take home top prize, you're gonna invest.
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 2: Oh ship for real? Uh huh. I thought it would
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 2: be like maybe a five k each kind of thing.
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, no, no.
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 2: This is a six figure pig.
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 3: There's a good chance.
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 1: Yes, really, so we're doing generational show.
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 3: So if you want to invest, don't don't throw my
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 3: name into the hat on you're out on that place.
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 1: Seems like a good blue room, seems like a good dealer.
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 3: If that was a five thousand dollars, no.
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 1: No, it was like I don't even know. I want
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 1: to say, like in the hundred Oh my god, it
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 1: was like a few hundred dollars.
• 1:33:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's but Earl's clearly like he doing way better
• 1:34:03
  Speaker 2: than anybody expected him to when he came out of
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 2: the pig loom.
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 1: He's undrafted, Yeah, he's undrafted.
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 2: He's a neck up type of pig. Yeah, neck up
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 2: type of peg man.
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 1: Six figures sunk into these pigs.
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah.
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 1: What do they win though? Like what do you win?
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 3: I win some some trailers some uh, you get some
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 3: money out of it, get a couple of grand here
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 3: or there.
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 1: And then you like what breed the bigger, sell the sperm.
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 2: It sounds a similar horse community there.
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 3: There's probably some time in there, and then for for
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 3: the kids, it's a lot of career opportunities or or
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 3: schooling opportunities come out of it.
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 1: The size of these pigs Earl's way behind those are monsters.
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's the cream of the crop right there.
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 2: Those are six figure pigs. Yeah, that's a big money
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 2: walking around there a lot. If you guys can invest
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 2: in one unique thing, what would it be like, what's
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 2: something you're like? It'd be fun to like we're talking
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 2: about a pig right now. If you want to invest
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 2: in like maybe a buddy restaurant or maybe your own
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 2: racing team someday hm hm nasa nasa.
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 4: We change it to Ryan, just like my hat. Yeah
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 4: you know what I mean, I don't know what do
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 4: you think you go first? Let me think, Yeah, I
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 4: don't have a good answer. It's you said, there's no
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 4: bad ideas. But I've been warned about the restaurant business
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 4: and uh and I will say I've watched Brad run
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 4: around and and try to stay afloat trying to own
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 4: a race team. And I have zero desire to own
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 4: a race team. I just want to show up and
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 4: put my helmet on and go race and not worry
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 4: about the day to day stuff because that looks stressful
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 4: amongst other things. So yeah, on the investment side of things,
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 4: we got to.
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 3: It would not be in racing. I guess yeah, I
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 3: I'd go I'd go build hot rods. I think that
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 3: would be kind of back to roots and something that
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 3: Dad would be uh will be in on as well.
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 4: I was expecting you to say, like construction company, because
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 4: you're always in your skins tier riding around your property
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 4: digging something already clear and brush and all.
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 3: Was digging rocks up in mowing all day yesterday.
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 4: That's what I mean, Like, just stuff like that I
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 4: I already have.
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 4: So, like racing wise, I have my own little short
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 4: track team with my father and so we have all
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 4: the equipment for that. But you know, I've I've joked
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 4: about maybe having like like those twenty five yard containers
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 4: where you could you know, pick them up, chop them
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 4: off the people's houses, they could dump all their junk
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 4: in there and then and then, uh, you know, be
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 4: the guy that that has like ten or fifteen of those.
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 4: So that would be kind of cool.
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 2: Dude, different, This was very lucrative.
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's too.
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 3: I've got a design that makes Yeah, you already have
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 3: a pink due you do. I mean you just just
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 3: roll it right into the dumpsters butterfly dumpsters, I don't know, butterfly. Yeah, yeah,
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 3: we'll work on that. Made the worst purchase.
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 1: The worst person, which, as you guys have made worst.
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 3: Purchase are the worst financial decision.
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 1: Go ahead, let's do both.
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 3: Well. My first vehicle, after my first my first I
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 3: guess real contracted racing, I went and bought a went
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 3: bought an O eight f two fifty, and I have
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 3: blown that thing up four times. I continue to throw
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 3: money at it, rebuild it, and blow it up again.
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 3: I have not done the engine work myself, so I
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 3: know that sounds like I'm not mechanically inclined. I am
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 3: just really hard on stuff as well, but I am.
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 3: I am six figures into a vehicle that's worth maybe
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 3: eighteen grand a day.
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I feel like that's normal story for a racer. Man.
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 4: Everything every bad decision for us is cars. So mine was.
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 4: I had a twenty thirteen Mustang that had, you know,
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 4: first contracting cop. I said, oh, man, I have one
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 4: hundred and twenty thousand miles on this thing because I
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 4: would drive it up and down East Coast. I'm gonna
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 4: pull it out and put a motor in it. Well,
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 4: that motor turned into our I'm gonna put turbos on it,
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 4: and then it turned into a wide body and I
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 4: probably the same thing as you. I was north of
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 4: like one hundred and twenty thousand into this Mustang that
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 4: wasn't worth anything, and I didn't even sell it. I
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 4: ended up just parting out parts and then you know,
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 4: scrapping the chassis.
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 2: So no ship.
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 3: I parked mine in the field for three years. When
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 3: it blew up the last time, I was so sick
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 3: of it, but I couldn't come to part with it,
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 3: so it just it was housing for the local rodents.
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but you got any questions about Buddy, nothing for you,
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 2: Jackie boy, other Jackie Boy.
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I was gonna say, you gotta ask you gotta
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 1: ask Jack over here, I producer. He's usually got one
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 1: that comes in.
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 4: From the something.
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 2: Oh, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, what's one thing that
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 2: Steve o'donald could be better at his job at?
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 1: But there you go, Jack, the hard Hitting's a great.
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 4: Question, Ryan, I honestly think Steve o'donald does a great job.
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 4: I'm a huge fan of everything that we've been doing,
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 4: and I appreciate the flight out here today.
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 2: Answer Chris coming Haymaker, good cut back.
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 3: I think I think he should change his name to
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 3: Steve O and just come on a little nickname. So
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 3: if we can just put that on all the name
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 3: tags and just commit to that, that would be fun.
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 4: Steve is a good name, Steve the CEO, Steve O
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 4: the CEO, Steve O the CEO.
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 2: That should be his Twitter handle, that should be a handle.
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 2: Still you hear that?
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 4: Not listening Steve?
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 1: Oh?
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 4: He laughed, Pane already, Oh is he there?
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 3: You go?
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 1: You can.
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 3: Real answer?
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 4: No, Honestly, I've liked the whole brand that we went
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 4: into this year with the whole you know, hell yeah thing,
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 4: So I don't I'm just a fan of racing, like
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 4: I love everything about what it is, rivalries, the pureness
• 1:40:02
  Speaker 4: of it. And I feel like we we as a group,
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 4: much like Steve was talking about communication with the drivers,
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 4: I feel like that's better than it's ever been so,
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 4: or at least where I'm I'm standing because years and
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 4: years ago, you know, I didn't live the Dale Earnhart,
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 4: Jeff Gordon era. But do you know who Mike Helton is?
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 1: No, you ever heard of him?
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 4: Mitch has Yeah, So Mike Helton was like the guy
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 4: right and he was the guy that if you did
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 4: something wrong, you'd go in the trailer and he'd cuss,
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 4: you know, he'd let you know it. And but there
• 1:40:35
  Speaker 4: was a mutual respect of understanding, Hey, we're here to race,
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 4: but we're here to put on a show. And I
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 4: feel like we're closer than ever to being at that.
• 1:40:44

• 1:40:48
  Speaker 2: That guy.
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 1: God.
