Seven. The Slim Pushins: James, Mr Unapproachable Gardener. Jim Gardner: What's happening, boys? Corby: Number one at something. Jim Gardner: No. I no. I'm just trying to get it buttoned up, you know. Car car c car mayor may The Slim Pushins: That is that is the most that's the most Corby: It's big man. I I I I will say this and I'm gonna The Slim Pushins: gym th Corby: say this I'm gonna say this publicly, dude. Like I know that this is like you're not gonna say this and I'm gonna say this. This is like an absolute dream come true for you to own your own car. To go to the chili bowl and to feel confident and to have a car that you're disassembling and putting back together. I'm happy for you, buddy. Like like truly, I I wanna Jim Gardner: Yeah, it Corby: say this publicly. I I know that you're you're jazzed and you're not gonna say anything and d you're gonna need some happy dads to keep yourself calm. through this process Jim Gardner: Ha ha ha. Corby: but it's cool dude. The Slim Pushins: yeah, the anxiety's gonna be real. Corby: it's cool man. Jim Gardner: Yeah, it's I don't know. Chili bowl to me was always Corby: I know we're not supposed to be on the Chili Bowl talk, but I just wanted to say it. Jim Gardner: Yeah. The Slim Pushins: Hey, we can talk chili ball. We make the rules. Jim Gardner: Yeah, there's no rule. Smoky, get out of here. The Slim Pushins: that damn cat. I told Corby I told Corby I sent him a message, I was like, It's literally the most Jimmy thing ever to to enter on opening day of of entry. Corby: Hundred percent. Jim Gardner: Well, it wasn't opening day. Corby: A hundred percent. Jim Gardner: I think opening day was last Friday. But I just wanna get it done quick and you know, not be scrambling around. I had to call and be like, Hey, I'm gonna run this day and I'm pitting with these guys and I don't know. I'm kinda high strung maybe about it. 'Cause I don't because I'm gonna go up there and The Slim Pushins: What? Corby. Corby: Same as me, same as me, same as me. Jim Gardner: but no chili bowl, ever since I was a kid The Slim Pushins: Hold on, I'm gonna make a note of that. Jim's high strong. Hold on. Jim Gardner: Yeah. ever since I was a kid, Chili Bowl was just s kind of the coolest thing ever, I thought. And I could never go. 'cause I was teaching and we had J V basketball in in New Miami, Ohio on a you know, Friday night in dis in January. Probably get beat by thirty five. The Slim Pushins: I blame that on coaching. Jim Gardner: Yeah, right. And Corby: Hundred percent. Hundred percent. Jim Gardner: so it just it didn't work out in my schedule, you know, through most of my twenties and then to just be able to get to go and and help y'all and you know, got to run it twice. my buddy Andy Bradley put me in a car. the biggest shitbox turd in the building. Corby: And then you put Andy in a car too. You did you put Andy in a better car? Jim Gardner: No. Yeah, well he drove it first and he was like, This thing's a pile of junk, you wanna run it? Corby: No, no, no, no, no. You put Andy in one of our cars. So did you put Andy in a better Jim Gardner: yeah. Corby: car? Jim Gardner: Yeah. Yeah. He he was in a much better car. I returned the favor in a big big way. but that first car, man, the yellow and green midget machine, it was a shitbox pile. But I had a bunch of fun and it was something I he was like, You wanna do it? And I didn't know I would ever get a chance to run it, but and then went and ran the Scherb spare car. four or five years ago and did a lot better because that was a nicer car and it ran and it had brakes and it it was a nice piece. So yeah, right. And I didn't like have to drive Corby: You didn't have the duck? You'd have to duck underneath the cage? The Slim Pushins: So Kate Jim Gardner: it like this because my head was sticking out of the top of the cage. And and so I'm excited to to take my own stuff up there. Bought an old car. You know, like said, it's just fun to be able to tinker with it on a Tuesday, getting to go to the what I think is the cool new Indy five hundred. you can't just go even if you have the money, you can't just buy a car and go run, enter in the Indy five hundred or in the Daytona five hundred. But you can go run Chili Bowl, and you never know who you're gonna race against. So right now I am planning on running Thursday night, to answer Cade Taylor's question so he can avoid me and and run a different night. that To give himself a better shot. Yeah. I I had to call up to the office there and ask them. I was like, The Slim Pushins: avoid you. Hey, I just got a text message. It says Jim Gardner: Hey, I know for competitive balance you try to keep the fields spread out, but I need to go Thursday for logistics and they like, I don't know. That's gonna alter the whole thing. I was like, Yeah, I know. So The Slim Pushins: Hold on. We need producer. We need producer, Jim. I Jim Gardner: Yeah. The Slim Pushins: just got a text yeah, I just got a text that says like w we're off to the side. We're in like three little boxes. Says nothing's on stage yet. Like Jim Gardner: That's weird. The Slim Pushins: we're showing a picture. There. See that's what Corby: No, you were there and then we were gone. Now we're there. The Slim Pushins: We'll see. I got the live up on my phone. I'll see if that fixed it. there it is. We're good. Thanks, Chelsea. Jim Gardner: Thank you, whoever The Slim Pushins: Thanks for not texting your husband. Corby: Jason was there. I I I've left that building one time and been happy. One time. From The Slim Pushins: Jason Tyre said he's coming for you in that Q main win and a corndog review. Corby: and actually, you know, Jason, like I'm gonna throw a little fit right here. you have your name on a banner in that place and I don't. And I have a trophy that says that I won there. Jim Gardner: What The Slim Pushins: So there's that. Jim Gardner: tell tell the details about that. Corby: there was a kid that we grew up it's kinda like in between Mina Merle's age. his name was Brett Sauders and his dad always had the most badass PW fifties in the world and he put me on one of there. I was I was a little kid. I was I don't know, there's a picture of me, I was like seven or eight, something that. I it might have been the same year that Jason won. it was one of the last years they ever had motorcycles there and they didn't put the fifty rider's name on the banner. That year of like the shootout winners. Jim Gardner: Mm-hmm. Corby: I have the trophy and everything. I won. Didn't make the banner. So it doesn't count. Jim Gardner: Yeah. It's fun. The Slim Pushins: So j so Jim, you have you have the ability to top Corby at something this year. Corby: A hundred percent. Yeah, if you could put your name on the banner, yeah. Jim Gardner: Yeah, that's probably unless they're putting banners up for our main winners. The Slim Pushins: this is what gives Corby and I anxiety. We need a little bit more positivity than this. Jim Gardner: Yeah, we'll see. Corby: But now I showed up, I raced, I remember in ninety two hold on, hold on, dude. Let me get out the trophy, let me see what year it is. There there's a funny story that goes with it. Jim Gardner: This is why so the last bullet point it on the promo was what are we gonna do all off season for content? And this is why, because I don't want The Slim Pushins: We're gonna make we're gonna bag on Jim. Corby: The coolest thing is is this is the tallest trophy that I have. This is the tallest trophy that I have out of all the trophies that I won. Right? Huge. Where's the nameplate? You know it's from the Tulsa shootout though. The Slim Pushins: They just handed it to you. Jim Gardner: Ha ha Corby: Got the got the driller on there. I don't know, man. It w so if it was ninety two, then The Slim Pushins: That's a huge trophy. Corby: I would have been six. It was either ninety two or ninety three that I won there. And I r I'll never forget, I only remember one thing from that whole night. I remember the track was super rough that year. It was the only year that me and Merle got to race it. Lucas and Logan never get to race it on motorcycles. And I remember we were coming around, we my dad was standing in turn three, and my dad was pointing at his head, telling me to use my head. I I agree with Jason. And he was telling me to use my head and the dude standing next to him was giving his kid the sign to hold it wide open. And he was in front of me. And he ended up making a big mistake on the last lap and I passed him and I won. And come to find out later on in Yeah, The Slim Pushins: I'd a told you to keep digging. Corby: I'm sure. Later on in life, it was Rob Pearson that I actually beat who was like Merle's j biggest rival there ever was as kids growing up racing. Jim Gardner: are you sure they didn't give Corby: So pointless story. Jim Gardner: you that trophy for parking a car on the back stretched grandstands? Corby: Do y'all wanna see the picture of me, Lucas and Logan, with our mullets flying in the wind and me standing with it? Mom says I slept with it for three nights. Jim Gardner: I bet. The Slim Pushins: trophy? Corby: The trophy. The Slim Pushins: I bet she bought it for you and then lied to you about lied to you all these years about winning it. That's why Jim Gardner: I bet. Corby: Probably probably Probably Jim Gardner: Yeah. The Slim Pushins: there's no nameplate. She beat up some kid that actually won it. Corby: I wanna say it was ninety three. It might have been ninety two. I don't know, Jason would remember that. I don't know. We might have to get some older guys like Greg Teague or William McCoy. They might remember when the last year we ran how the shoot out. The Slim Pushins: One eyed Willie McCoy? Corby: Willard. National fifty nine. The Slim Pushins: Patrick Stason said he's got a he's got a midget to Jim Gardner: A spike a spike with a girdie or an SR eleven X for rent. Corby, call your brother Lucas. There's a spike. Lucas has got to run a spike. Corby: The SR eleven might work with a spike in it. The Slim Pushins: Sounds expensive. Jim Gardner: Yeah. Well my my pile's got a girdie in Corby: What's the Scherb deal on that? Jim Gardner: it too, so we'll see how how well they pull off the bottom 'cause that's where I'll be. I don't know if I'm gonna be hammering the boards, going you know, going with seventy nine hundred Corby: Jason, I got a watch and a jacket. The Slim Pushins: You gotta you gotta run the boards. You it's like you have to swing for the fences. Jim Gardner: Yeah, we'll see. Corby: That place is so weird, I I don't think that people understand how small it is in a midget there until you actually sit in a midget inside of that building. I Jim Gardner: Yeah. Corby: I know it looks round and everything and it it just I remember the year the first year we were supposed to go, ended up hurting my knee and so Russell drove one of our cars and Lucas asked him after his first practice, he said, How many tarotes did you pull? And he said, With what time? Jim Gardner: Yeah. Corby: It happens fast in there in a midget. Jim Gardner: Yeah. No, I'm I'm looking forward to it. It's gonna be fun. been spending bunch of time with my dad here in the shop, rebodying this thing and and and tearing it apart and going through stuff and we're just excited. We're excited to take my nephew, he's five and he knows of one racetrack in the country and that's Tulsa. so we'll see. But I'm sure we'll get more into that here as the off season progresses. Unfortunately, we don't have much racing to talk about from last weekend since Mother Nature took a big dump on our plans. The Slim Pushins: How far down the road did y'all get? Jim Gardner: we got we got on the highway and Nathan called me. So I texted Nathan Moore. we were leaving from Uyghurs at you know ten o'clock in the morning Friday. And I texted him, I said, Hey man. I don't wanna be that guy, but is there any reason we should drag our feet and not leave right now? Because we were trying to leave early enough so we could go to the Big Texan for dinner Friday. And I was just hoping The Slim Pushins: You're not man enough. You are not man enough. Jim Gardner: I was just gonna get just like a regular little bitty steak. But The Slim Pushins: Course. Jim Gardner: you know, so we had time. Like I wasn't trying to force his hand to call it there. I just wanted him to be like, Hey, maybe you guys should wait and to leave this afternoon or this evening or something. 'Cause it didn't look good. And sure enough, we pulled the rigs out, got through their little town, took a left to get on the highway, and Nathan called me and we went two exits and turned back around, went back to the shop. And as he as he canceled their race, and he made the right call. I think it was gonna be pretty miserable out there all weekend, it looked like so. The Slim Pushins: I couldn't agree more. I hate it. I was really looking forward to it. I think it was Jim Gardner: Yeah. Yeah. The Slim Pushins: gonna be a fun weekend. Nathan had a a ton of stuff planned, a lot of fan interaction stuff. Slim was gonna make an appearance in a couple of different places. we Jim Gardner: Yeah. The Slim Pushins: were gonna get Jim involved and you know, it's it's Texas weather Jim Gardner: I took The Slim Pushins: for you. Jim Gardner: I took a big box of those neato hand squeezy things that he asked me to get to sponsor the the weekend back to UPS to send back to Amazon today and I was at UPS for forty five minutes scanning all that shit back in for nito's or whatever they're called. The Slim Pushins: They could have been PT s PTC giveaways. Jim Gardner: Yeah, is what they were gonna be. She goes, Why are you returning all this? I was like, we got our event got rained out last weekend. I don't need this anymore. So it's rescheduled. The Slim Pushins: Did the lady at did the lady at at UPS know that we have a podcast? Does she know that Jim Gardner: No. No. The Slim Pushins: you're running the chili bowl? Jim Gardner: No. I should just say it. You know, we'd get a t shirt made that says Thursday night chili bowl also rim. The Slim Pushins: Just make business cards. Jim Gardner: Yeah. The Slim Pushins: Just hand them to everybody. Jim Gardner: Yeah. so yeah. hopefully so hopefully Nathan Moore The Slim Pushins: The legendary the legendary Wout Hoffman's is on and in rare form. He voted today, Jim Gardner: Yeah. The Slim Pushins: today's election day. He voted for Corby. Jim Gardner: so hopefully Nathan gets that Amarillo show. You know, he said he plans on a spring date up there to still run for ten thousand to win and everything like that. So hopefully they we can make that happen or he can make that happen. I didn't have anything to do with it. I hate it for him. You know, the two big events he's promoted this year were Speed Week and the big show at Amarillo, both of them get just hammered by rain. but that's just kind of the way it goes. So Nate. Corby: That's not good. I d I I don't know if he has yet or not, but I would absolutely throw away those underwear. The Slim Pushins: Yeah. If it was Jeb. Yeah. Jim Gardner: Maybe drive drive out of a different exit at the shop. Corby: Yeah, for sure. Something. Jim Gardner: Yeah, so I'm sure. Yeah, so The Slim Pushins: If it was Jeb, he would have changed all sorts of things. Sold that truck. Jim Gardner: yeah. So Nathan I'm sure took a beating. I don't ever want to be a promoter or a track operator. even though I think I have all the answers sometimes. it's a tough, tough thick skin life and and we need guys like Nathan to stick their neck out to to promote cool stuff and and I hate that it didn't work out. But just that was a big bummer of the weekend. The Slim Pushins: Hey, speaking of speaking of Wout, you might oughta sit down with him. He might have some some chili bowl. Strat Jim Gardner: Some chili bowl notes. The Slim Pushins: strategy and pointers. Jim Gardner: problem is the car Corby: Junk Jim Gardner: I'm running is probably older than he is. So I'm I'm not sure if the technology translate. The Slim Pushins: Well that's not saying a ton. He's he's not very old anyway. Jim Gardner: Yeah, right. So I'll be I'll be reaching out to a couple of my midget contacts and I've already been wearing Kevin Ramey out for parts and advice and fabricating questions and he's he's helping me out on some stuff and probably get in touch with Wout and ask him what he's doing. I'm gonna probably call Cade Taylor and say, Hey, what have you been doing on your midgets? And and then got Kyle Jones in my back pocket too that Maybe not be wildly embarrassing on Thursday, January fourteenth on flow racing in the s The Slim Pushins: Damn, we're just name dropping tonight, aren't we? Corby: Guy this guy just knows it. Jim Gardner: yeah, so we'll see how it goes, but the day before, the thirteenth. Corby: And when's your birthday? Okay. Jim Gardner: Yeah. So The Slim Pushins: Wednesday the thirteenth. Corby: So so we're doing it like the your your old school birthdays where you're like falling down? Night before night your your The Slim Pushins: What? Corby: birthday night? No, no. I mean we're we're we're okay. Like we're Jim Gardner: No, no, we'll be taking it pretty easy. I'm sure Corby: keeping it P G right now. Jim Gardner: I'm sure The Slim Pushins: Hey. Jim Gardner: I I'm sure my mom will do something over the top and outrageous for my birthday with my family on on Wednesday and then I'll leave first thing Thursday morning to go up to Tulsa. Luckily Tulsa's, three hours and change from my house, so it ain't nothing but a peanut to get up there day of. The Slim Pushins: Wout said his car and motor were both both older than he was last year. Wout's not hearing it. He's not hearing your excuses. Jeb Jim Gardner: And he put it in the big show. Yeah. All right. Well Corby: Chev? The Slim Pushins: said Jeb said I I can tell you how to flip every single year. Jim Gardner: Jeff would get promoted to tire guy again. The Slim Pushins: we got we got one coming in from Savannah too. Jeb Jim Gardner: Ha ha ha. The Slim Pushins: Sass was literally was going to say if he needed pointers, how you could do that, how you could help. Yeah. Jim Gardner: I'll just be h I'll just be happy to go fast enough to flip. it's pretty hard to crash huge if you're not going fast. So we'll see. I The Slim Pushins: Jeb's up there running with a team rubbing shoulders with NASCAR champions. Jim Gardner: Yeah, that's right. So yeah, I I the midget stuff, you know, I worked on a bunch of midgets growing up and you know, I got a pretty good handle on them. You know, I hopped in Bates's car in March and it wasn't much to to I don't know. They they fit my my driving style a lot better than even the three five stuff does. So I I feel a lot more comfortable in the little car, for whatever reason. I'm not really sure what, but Corby: Felt like that was a Jim Gardner: I do look like Corby: dig. Jim Gardner: I do look like King The Slim Pushins: Mm-hmm. Jim Gardner: Kong driving the thing, but there's a lot of going on in that cockpit. The Slim Pushins: Well, since you brought it up. Jim Gardner: Yeah, right, so Corby: Was that a dig that midget racers are better than three five racers? Jim Gardner: No. Well The Slim Pushins: No. That's not how I took it. Corby: okay. Jim Gardner: no. Why you gotta take everything so personally, Corby? Corby: Just to ask him. Jim Gardner: So anyway, but that's Corby: Jason, it sounds exactly like Tiff talking about you. The Slim Pushins: Love the span sa the family support in the Sesame's household. I love you, honey. I love you too, babe, but you suck. Jim Gardner: That's that's Doctor Savannah to you, Jeb. The Slim Pushins: guess I hey I guess we can I I guess we can let the cat out of the bag. Jim finally gave the green light for the push and the cushion couples game. And I I really hope Savannah knows this because Jeb's already spoken up Jim Gardner: Ha ha ha. The Slim Pushins: but Jeb and Savannah are going to be the first contestants on the push and the cushion couples episode. And it I've got Thirty some odd questions. and it's gonna be a good time. Jim Gardner: Yeah, TBD on that. But yeah, that's some of the off season content that we've that we're kicking around doing to get us through the winter here. 'Cause we don't want to just go dark, but there's no reason to have a weekly podcast of talking about nothing but our boring lives that don't include racing. It's like The Slim Pushins: Wait a minute. Jim Gardner: What do I do this weekend? I don't know. The Slim Pushins: Corby and I don't have boring lives. Jim Gardner: You have boring lives. Corby: Of I go to big shots The Slim Pushins: He's got a whole other set of friends, Jim. Corby: Hundred percent on that. Jim Gardner: Yeah, those are but but he calls them work friends. Corby: work friends. It's different. If you wasn't so busy, y'all Jim Gardner: Whatever. Corby: could go play golf with me. The Slim Pushins: Alright. Savannah that's a y that's green lighted. A hundred percent. Jim Gardner: Ha The Slim Pushins: Savannah said only if we get introduced as doctor and misses mister Sesams. Congratulations to you, Savannah. Doctor Savannah, doctor Sesams, doctor, doctor. Jim Gardner: Yeah. So yeah, we got some some off Geist wants to do shop visits. I'm in for that. we'll show people around my world class headquarters here a little bit over the winter. Yeah. HQ The Slim Pushins: The Gardner World Headquarters? You gonna op you gonna open it up to photo and video? Jim Gardner: Yeah, we'll have a fan day, and everybody can walk through my living room slash shop and The Slim Pushins: Bradley obviously said nobody can one up ducks. And I have to agree with him. Jim Gardner: We we go down to Bradley Ivy's shop and hang hang out hang Corby: The kangaroo at the chili bowl is pretty impressive. Jim Gardner: out with his ducks. The Slim Pushins: Yeah, that is. It's always interesting. I'm like a little kid when I see it walk through. Well, carried through. It's got a diaper. Jim Gardner: Yeah. so yeah, we'll see. We gotta figure out some different stuff to to bring people here over the winter. We're gonna revamp our show opening. We're going to we're gonna we're gonna try Corby: Thank you, Jesus, Lord, thank you. Jim Gardner: to make everything a little bit more professional. The Slim Pushins: We don't know if we're getting rid of the bagpipes, Corby. Jim Gardner: The bagpipes aren't going anywhere, I already paid for them. Corby: I'll buy a new one. Jim Gardner: yeah, we go down to Stoss's. Corby: Patrick. Jim Gardner: We can go down to Stas's shop and he can rif repair a frame for me, then I'll leave it there for three months. The Slim Pushins: Stoss is Stoss is still repairing Scherb messed up. He still hadn't Corby: Probably. The Slim Pushins: gotten out of the weeds of all the Scherb frames. Corby: Probably. Jim Gardner: Yeah. so yeah, we're we're gonna try to figure out some stuff to do that's racing related, that's behind the scenes. I I I think, you know seeing people and how they get up and down the road and and and kinda learning more about where they're coming from and and and and everything and how they make things work is part of the deal. I think it would give everybody a bigger appreciation of everybody's effort and commitment to this deal. So We'll see. We're gonna try to we're we're gonna try to stay on it. We're not gonna have weekly podcasts to talk about you know, Kerbo's dating life and Corby's short game and my chili bowl build. but you know, we we wanna still keep some momentum going and and and show some different stuff that that people might find interesting. So that's kind of the plan for the off season. but yeah The Slim Pushins: wants to know what are your thoughts on the new chassis Raimi came out with? Jim. Back to you back to you, Slim. Corby: I don't I don't know all the measurements of it. I I'll chime in on that too. I'm I'm kinda particular on on some of the things that how a chassis feels. The Slim Pushins: You're particular? Corby: well, I don't know. Like Jimmy said it before, like there's some people me and Jed that might feel things different like on our backside of of how the car's working. I don't know. I I would like to look at it and and measure it. I'm not not to steal any of his ideas, but at the same time it it changes flex, it changes it changes where his downforce is coming across the car and The Slim Pushins: the late model? Corby: I I think the wing is offset that Jim Gardner: No, it i he's he's Geiss is a late model The Slim Pushins: he was he was fixing Jim Gardner: guy, but but Rami's built a one off car that that Cade Taylor's been running that's just got The Slim Pushins: his buttons. I gotcha. I gotcha. I'm up to speed now. Corby: Yeah. And and that's i d Kevin will tell you that he he he loves the Race Saver class because you can do stuff like this and you can kinda be unique. I know I'm sure Dylan's on now and I know that they've made they've built a ton and ton of midget chassis. different ones that work for this and Jim Gardner: Yep. They just built another one. Corby: yeah, and and and they are very, very smart and intuitive to what people give feedback on. more power to anyone, especially if you can go coil over and make it work. that's huge too, because you you just take some of the the natural flex out of a car, and I actually sound like I'm kinda smart right now, which is not common, The Slim Pushins: You're impressing me. Corby: but it just it it changes how your weight is dispersed, you know. Is this dynamic or physical? Wait it's dynamic, okay, gotcha. Jim Gardner: dynamic. Yeah. Yeah, it's it, running coils up front shortens the spring base and makes it gives it a little bit more forward drive. also, running coils up front Corby: Way over me. The Slim Pushins: Way to go, Corby. Jim Gardner: doesn't eliminate some geometry problems, but it can negate them and make them less critical. You know, your arm angles and things like that. You can you can decide more what's going on. Now there's other geometry things in play when you do that, but you know, it so from my perspective, I just like simple cars. The reason I love sprint car racing is the cars are pretty simple. They haven't changed in 30 or 40 years as far as the frames. I mean, yeah, your your motor plate angles are different, your pickup points might be different, but in general, they're kind of the same wheelbase and engine setback and suspension geometry and stuff like that. And it's about maximizing what you got. and I don't know that I they as long as you can make the give the car what it's asking for, I th Corby: What's your favorite what's your favorite answer? Give give the car what it's asking for? The Slim Pushins: What's your favorite answer? Give the car Give the car what it's asking for? Give the car what it's for. Jim Gardner: if a car's tight, it doesn't matter what frame it is, you can do the same adjustment to it and it will free the car up. it might free it up too much or not enough compared to a different car, based on the way it's engineered. But it there's too much, you know, I'd never Pull back to the trailer after running in the dog pound thinking, man, if I only had this part or that, this frame or this whatever on my car, I would have won tonight. it's usually driver error and setup error that determines the outcome of races. It's not really equipment discrepancy. The Slim Pushins: I know a couple Sasa. Jim Gardner: you know. Patrick Stossa and and Raimi are some are innovators and they have a better fundamental understanding of the the how the chassis is engineered. I have enough problems making all the parts just work perfectly together to find a balance to really experiment with anything fundamental. Like I've seen cars with the frames cut like underneath the radiator to promote flex. it's like I I don't Corby: I'm always down, Patrick. Jim Gardner: Yeah. you know, there there's some stuff that I just doesn't make sense to me that that people do to cars that there's a lot more meat on the bone on other stuff and so that's kind of my two cents on Kevin's experimental cars is you know, Kevin enjoys building experimental cars. I I I've I you know, it ain't for me. so it is what it is. But The Slim Pushins: Is that are we done with that? Is that over? Jim Gardner: Are you finally, do you want to talk about conspiracies or something? Corby: you know, I I I think The Slim Pushins: Well, since you bring it up Corby: I I think that there's there's there's some things that that can be adjusted on sprint cars. one thing is I saw I told Kerbo before you got on because you were late today. there was a video posted of Danny Jim Gardner: Wasn't late, sir. Corby: Dietrich and talking about the understanding of driving a sprint car and it was him. I'm I'm not sure what racetrack he was at, I didn't pay attention to that. I pay attention to his hands and how slow reacting the Pittman arm is to the steering arm, to the spindle. I think that there's a there's a big big factor in knowing what's happening three seconds before it actually happens, but you're thinking twelve seconds ahead 'cause you're thinking of the next lap. There's there's a lot of things in a sprint car that is so it happens so slow How can you ever predict that to happen because it happened slow and you didn't predict it right and then next thing you're back into the wall of grayson? Jim Gardner: Okay. Really? That's what we're doing? That's what we're doing? Okay. All all all that The Slim Pushins: It was a long way to get there, but we got there, didn't we? Jim Gardner: mumbo jumbo Michael Scott. Sometimes I'll just start a sentence I don't really want know where it's going just to bring it back to me, crashing at thirty miles an hour. Corby: I've done it, man. I actually I th they have a they have Jim Gardner: At least I didn't hit a Prius. Corby: a they have an orange tractor tire. Yeah. They have an orange Jim Gardner: Ha ha ha Corby: tractor tire there. Bright. Very bright. And Jim Gardner: Yeah. Corby: I center punched that dude one night trying to pass Colby Subfield Jim Gardner: I remember Corby: in the heat raced. I was already in a redraw spot. And that might have that might have been the only Jim Gardner: I I remember. Yeah. Corby: time that my dad ever actually yelled at me at this print car track and he turned and looked at me Jim Gardner: Ha ha ha. Corby: and he goes, Stay the f off the tractor tires. Jim Gardner: Yeah. The Slim Pushins: Kobe, when you started that journey, did you know where you were gonna end up? Corby: I was gonna pass Colby Subberfield in the heat race. That's what I was gonna do. The Slim Pushins: No no no. No the talking about insulting me. Yeah. Jim Gardner: No, he was talking about insulting me. Like that was the whole point. Corby: no. I I got lost in transit and it turned back around. Jim Gardner: Yeah. yeah guys so that the The Slim Pushins: You knew you had it an end I gotta end with a big one. Corby: Yeah, we get the timeout. Timeout. Jim Gardner: Yeah. And then I found five dollars. Yeah. yeah, guys, the the the cars even it doesn't matter what car it is, if you threw them on scales and had the same bars and setup blocks and stuff in them, they would all throw different cross numbers at you. but something I'm I've fought with my car a little bit this year. this particular frame I got seems to have a lot of cross in it. based on what I normally do. so it has affected my baseline setups and my combinations. and it's just a and it's not that I can't find the f feel I'm looking for in my car. It's just that I haven't got there yet. It's taking something different than some of the other cars I've worked on. you know we threw Corby's car on the scales a couple times. we've thrown my old car on the scales a couple of times. I've I've got Braxton's on car on the scales. the scales don't tell the whole story because it's just sitting there. It's not moving and and and articulating. my car does have a lot more cross in it, and it doesn't fit my driving style, I would say. But there's nothing wrong with it. I just need to give it s a different combination of springs and do some different adjustments, and that's what the last half of the year has really been for me. I went to the racetrack with a different set of bars in it every every night. And we're just some some was good, some was bad. Rupe and I have had this discussion since the nationals about cross and scales and and and numbers like that. you know, when I grew up around sprint cars in the Midwest, we never scaled cars ever. There's no weight rule at the racetracks, and we just blocked it through a turn on the right rear and sent it. the wing cars, these cars are a little bit more sensitive to the scale numbers and the cross percentages. but you know, it's just a matter of finding a combination that works for your driving style. and this one is just it it's not jived with me, and we're working on it a little bit. Patrick, the car you fixed is still sitting in my shed in the exact state. The Slim Pushins: If y'all don't stop asking Jim questions, we're never gonna get out of this hole. Corby: Patrick, actually I don't know if you ever Jim Gardner: I give the people what they want. They want to talk sprint car racing. They don't want to talk about the grand power outage coming in two weeks. Bring Jeb on. Corby: I don't think I I know Patrick The Slim Pushins: It's coming. Corby: he he welded up a couple of radiators for me. I don't know if I ever drove one after Patrick had fixed it. scales don't matter. It so so like the Landon comment here, you know, I'm sure that he's gonna back me on this. I drove an Avenger car for Mike Clement. And I drove the first night and didn't like it, didn't like how any of it felt. Talked to Jimmy, was supposed to go work on it, got a little busy and some other things happening in life. And I'm a big believer in shocks and what I know and what I like in shocks. I Jim Gardner: Yeah, shocks are Go ahead. Sorry. Corby: I think that people could get really over the top with shocks. The shock numbers that I have, ninety percent of people would say, You're an idiot. It'll never work. I know The Slim Pushins: You worked at Boyd. Corby: I know in my head that it works. So it's the same. I ran a set of shocks of Jimmy's one time and I went basically like Jim Gardner: Yeah. Corby: off my clicks that I know and I never bounced on the car, I never felt it, and it was the most undrivable POS that I ever drove in my life. Jim Gardner: Yeah. Corby: And it was at that point that I realized how important the feel to me truly mattered. So I I think that shocks have a big giant factor, especially in what's legal now in three or five race and shock shocks are are a lot. Especially whenever you are Jeb Sesams and you show up to Waco across all the rain ruts and you can jack up the compression in your right rear and you blow the doors off everyone. It helps. The Slim Pushins: Michael Oliver said Avengers are excessively tight. Corby: That it's super, super tight. If I told everyone on Jim Gardner: Yeah. yeah, so I don't know. I Corby: here the stagger and spacing that I ran in one boy with, I I'd probably lose half the people here. Jim Gardner: yeah. The Slim Pushins: That's what's the to me, that's the greatness of racing. Everybody everybody feels a different car, everybody wants a car set up differently, and that's what separates the field on any given night. Jim Gardner: Yeah, The Slim Pushins: Patrick said shocks and ride height mean more than scales. Jim Gardner: I agree. I agree wholeheartedly with Patrick's comment there. the shocks are are the only advancement in technology in in twenty years. you know, the frames really aren't. As long as the frame is consistent. and and The scales only tell you what the car is sitting, in the pits. It doesn't say how the car is transferring weight or delivering weight. I mo I mostly use them just to verify where we are in case we really start to lose the handle on it and aren't sure why. we can throw it back on scales and six, you know, six months later and say, you know, maybe we've got a bar going bad or we've twisted something or we crashed harder than we thought we did maybe and something's not right here. or just going on different frames and you know going different cars in different frames. They just seem to need either more of a change or less of a change or a different style of change to to make them feel right. But you know, chasing a scale number on a dirt sprint car will drive you nuts because It's just a starting point. but it will also just kind of reinforce reinforce some stuff. So you know, I that's all. So, you know, they just that each car ne is asking for something different, in my opinion. So Landon Thompson said, I just need fifteen fifty if I'm there. I don't care if the right rear is fourteen hundred and the others get me there as long as it drives good. I yeah. You also stand on the gas and have a lot more talent than I do. So I try to beat you by out out out thinking ya and and having a better car. but yeah, I'll The Slim Pushins: Thanks, Rube. Corby: I'm personally an Jim Gardner: you know I Corby: Eagle person. I I love the Eagle chassis. I've done an eighty six standard rail, Jim Gardner: They're all yeah. Corby: eighty seven and eighty eight. I I just like them. It's it's probably the name and the brand, same as some people like Nike Shoes or Brooks, whatever you like to go running in. you know, it it's you know, person I mean Jim Gardner: Yeah, it's it's all up here. It's what the driver thinks he needs. So Corby: I have a particular, you know, brand of kettlebells that I like to use, you know. Doesn't matter what it is, it's just certain people have Kerbo likes to sit in front of a Texas flag every week. it's just it's up to you guys. And Kerbo's been really quiet Jim Gardner: Yeah. Corby: this whole like, are you just lost? Jim Gardner: Kerbo doesn't like talking about racing or anything technically. The Slim Pushins: I just talked about waiting. Just waiting yeah. Just waiting on Jim Gardner: Ha ha ha. The Slim Pushins: tech on tech hour to stop. Jim Gardner: Ha ha ha. Corby: no, I just say I think that shocks are really more important than a lot of people use and and j I I the the last one that I had was an Illinois E Eagle, but I drove an eighty seven forty and before that had an eighty six forty standard rail. and I got real big on the bump stops on my left rear and to this day like I'm still it's probably a fault of mine to continue to run bumpers on the left rear shock. the Illinois Eagle to me was the easiest car to drive. I I felt like I we could miss setup by a lot and it was the only Eagle that was truly forgiving. So say say Patrick's there. See Wesley. That eighty six thirty eight and a half, man, was just violent The Slim Pushins: Yeah. Corby: if you missed it. Violent. Jim Gardner: I don't know I don't even know what an Illinois Eagle is. Corby: Tall tall cage. Logan had at the end and then the last one that I had. Jim Gardner: Okay. It's it's like the two inch taller in the front and three inch in the back or whatever. I think or that's Australia cage or something. But all that does is change where the driver is and the rear percentage on it, i is what I would imagine. Corby: But it changes a lot. Jim Gardner: Yeah. So I know Roop's got two cars and he and he Corby: Kerbo curbo is over this. Jim Gardner: and I were talking about it and and one car's got the A frame moved back and the other one doesn't, and it's changed the way he has to block it. you know, two identical maxims you know, other than the A-frame move back. And it's just changing. You just gotta have you gotta be locked in on. what the car is asking for and how to change it without changing the other dynamics of the race car. So Corby: I'll say this, we're The Slim Pushins: we're we're on we're we're we're doing it. Corby: we're on we're we're we're doing this right now. Jimmy, how often do you change brake pads? Jim Gardner: I've changed them twice this year. Or or I I'm The Slim Pushins: Thanks a lot, guys. Jim Gardner: on a second set. you know my yeah, I I changed The Slim Pushins: Second set in nine races? Is that that's the math? Jim Gardner: Yeah. I just put a different set in, three I I put a different compound in because I was having so many so much braking power that I I switched to a more lenient pad and but that didn't fix my issue. So then I changed the master cylinder and that that cleared it out. So The Slim Pushins: Letting it letting it dangle there between your legs pretty much fixed all your problems. Jim Gardner: Yeah, something like that. Yeah. So Corby: I'm a big believer in brakes, man. I know that we're just racing three fives, but you can keep the car settled, you can keep the car turned down the racetrack. There's a reason that we only run a left front, not a right front. brakes are there Jim Gardner: Yikes. Yeah. So that I i and the thing I think Corby: Mike Mike had made a comment to me about brake pads and I'm like, Yeah, I mean it's pretty it's pretty basic standard man, about four or five races and you'll have to change a set of pads for me. Jim Gardner: Yeah. No, I I use mine up a a lot, but they were so inconsistent, with that little master cylinder in there that I just didn't I didn't like it at all. The last night at RPM, I know I didn't run very good, but the car was much more manageable. just on the brakes and and and I just you know, I didn't feel out of control with my hair on fire all night. So anyway. Anybody else got any tech questions for Kerbo? The Slim Pushins: No. Nobody everybody's teched out. Corby: Mike, what size master cylinder you got in that car? Jim Gardner: I don't even Corby: I better walk out there and measure right now. Jim Gardner: yeah. so The Slim Pushins: He was just sitting there having a beer and you're putting him to work. Jim Gardner: I Mike Frieri was asking earlier, and I want to Corby: Swed frame with the warning tag on the top of the halo in front of the driver. Yep. Jim Gardner: make sure we get to it before we talk into more tech stuff. TMS has got four tens this weekend. Power Eye 410s have their season finale. looks like the weather's gonna be pretty good. A little cold, maybe too cold for Corby. Corby: not gonna be pretty good, it'd be horrendously cold. It'd be awful. The Slim Pushins: It's gonna be awesome. Jim Gardner: who did Rutherford was supposed to go, but Sounds like they had a a motor go south, getting it warmed up. So he's not going. But are there any other local guys going? Landon, are you going to TMS? The Slim Pushins: No, Landon's going to Cambodia. His girlfriend talked Jim Gardner: What? that's right. Yeah, he told us. Yeah. Corby: Cambodia. Jim Gardner: who's still got four tens here? I would assume Weston Gorham's going. I don't know if Stubblefield will go. Austin Corby: Austin, I would imagine Austin. Jim Gardner: Mundy will be there. Mike Frieri was asking who I th who we thought would be there. there's just not a lot of four tens in anybody's shopping anymore. you know, Stubblefield ran Tex Arcana, but they struggled. I don't know if it was motor related or not. you know, so I'm not you know outside Corby: I haven't heard that the plants are going. I don't know about Boldens. Jim Gardner: Yeah, Bolden ran this race last year, but I don't know that was kind of a one off deal. I don't know if he's running and The Slim Pushins: I was wrong. L T's in Peru right now. I Jim Gardner: okay. The Slim Pushins: was close. Jim Gardner: Sounds yeah, right. anyway, We don't know if Ryder LaPlant's going or not. I haven't heard. I d I I didn't The Slim Pushins: We're gonna turn off I'm about to turn off comments. Corby: I don't know. I I had a triple X with it cut out and I I didn't tell much of a difference. The the eighty six forty standard rail Eagle but it was probably fifty years old too. That that had the most flex that I ever drove. Jim Gardner: Just as a rule of thumb, don't start cutting shit out of your frame. Your problems are not that deep. In my humble opinion. Just turn yeah, put a different left rear bar in it. Yeah. Corby: Change the steering wheel. Give your dished MPI steering wheel a chance. Jim Gardner: Yeah. Do do something different besides start cutting your frames. Corby: I feel so bad. Mike bought me this beautiful MPI steering wheel and I showed it to Boyd with my dish giant one that The Slim Pushins: a homemade wooden wooden steering wheel out of a Model T. Corby: Look like Rico walking in there. And I was like, Hey man, I know that serum was really, really nice. I really appreciate that but kinda wanna run mine. Got holes all ripped down the side of it. Jim Gardner: Yeah. So but yeah, Mike, I don't Corby: Self tappers. Jim Gardner: know I don't know how much local four ten guys are gonna be there, to tell you the truth. I just don't think there are the cars and and engines in town anymore. Corby: I don't know if Channing and C T are going. Haven't heard. Jim Gardner: Yeah, I'm not sure. So The Slim Pushins: don't know if C T has a four ten anymore. I thought he was selling it. Well maybe I'm wrong though. He doesn't check in with me. Jim Gardner: yeah, for for guys who are supposed to be locked into the to the D FW scene. We really don't know Jack's shit. I'm not sure. So The Slim Pushins: Back to you, Slim. Jim Gardner: so Big O has got a 305 show down in Ennis on Saturday. I think it's paying pretty good money. The Slim Pushins: Thousand. Jim Gardner: Thousand or fifteen hundred? The Slim Pushins: there was a thousand. Jim Gardner: I could have swore I saw fifteen hundred. Let's see. I'm looking at a thousand to win, just like I said. Back to you, Slim. The Slim Pushins: There we go. Jim Gardner: Thousand to win 175 to start is pretty good money for November. I don't know how many guys are gonna end up going. I think the weather it's gonna be cold. It's a little too cold for me to you know, if it's this cold in February, you'd probably get me to go race. Corby: Mike. Jim Gardner: but this cold in November after a long season, I think I'm just gonna pass. but we'll see. I hope they get I hope they get a good good car count and g fans in the stands and and you know, I don't wanna see a track not succeed with their event and but we'll see. So I The Slim Pushins: How was trick or treating for you two this last weekend? Jim Gardner: How did we get on that segue? The Slim Pushins: I'm just praying to God that we can stop tech talk. Corby: He's just he's just Jim Gardner: Ha ha Corby: it was good this year. my daughter's scared of her own shadow and she tries to dress up as something scary every year. And so Jim Gardner: Yeah. The Slim Pushins: To scare herself. Corby: yeah, she spent like four hours putting her makeup on and then she realized that we were still like four hours early, tried to explain to her She had put fake nails all on and then the nails were gone by the time that we left the house. And that was good. It was good. We got to hang out with Uncle Lucas, and Aunt Heather with some family. And it was good. It was The Slim Pushins: Jim? Corby: I I will say I I'm gonna make like a like a small little statement. Brooklyn counted she had a hundred and ninety eight pieces of candy. I think she ate like sixteen before she had to go to school on Monday. Kerbo, what what's your what's your in and out ratio on candy? Did did you The Slim Pushins: I didn't Corby: were home this w this year, so did you hand out candy? The Slim Pushins: Well, I left. No, I left. I went to a buddy's house and we watched college football and my d Corby: But your light I don't even think you have a switch on your front porch lights, so did you leave a bowl of candy out? The Slim Pushins: No, no, I'm not Jim Gardner: No, no shot. The Slim Pushins: gonna I'm not gonna leave a bowl of c if I have a bowl of candy, that's my bowl of candy. I ain't leaving it out. Corby: Bear claws, everything. Jim Gardner: man. The Slim Pushins: Bear claws. Nobody hands out bear claw. The creepy lady in the neighborhood. That's who hands out Jim Gardner: Yeah. The Slim Pushins: bear claw. Open. Open bear claws. Just raw bear claws. No, I I was responsible. I my dilemma was if we were going to Amarillo, I didn't want to leave my light off for the whole weekend. but I didn't have to do that. So I flipped the I flipped the light off. And then when I got home I turned it back on. there were no eggs on my garage or the house, no pumpkins smashed in my front yard. it seemed like it all went well. Jim, how was trick-or-treating for you? Jim Gardner: it was good. Little Emma was a lamb chop. we pushed her around in her stroller for about eight minutes. Went to about four houses and then she was over it and we went back home and watched Ohio State get beat. So The Slim Pushins: That was a big one. No Rupe. Jim Gardner: not too bad, you know. The Slim Pushins: It depends on the mood, Rupe. I I like like milk chocolate bars. I'd also like fruity stuff. Jim Gardner: Starting to sound like Mike Leach when he starts n naming his top candies. The Slim Pushins: I I I love me a good Twix. I Jim Gardner: Ha ha ha. The Slim Pushins: like me I like me Butterfinger. But then I can go opposite direction and go like, Skittles. I'll knock a Twizzler. I'll knock a Twizzler Corby: Pink Starburst. Pink Starburst. The Slim Pushins: out, but I normally don't like buy a Twizzler. Corby: What about you, Jim? what's your what's your gas station go to? Jim Gardner: flamin' hot Cheetos and a Red Bull or a Monster or whatever. It's usually the the racetrack dinner. The Slim Pushins: When I've never seen you do a Red Bull or a Monster. You you drink those y Corby: I I thought he always did Nas because na he he would say Nos supports sprint cars. Jim Gardner: They do. But they also make me jittery The Slim Pushins: No i Jim's Jim Gardner: and feel like my heart's gonna explode. The Slim Pushins: Guys, Jim Gardner: Have enough brah. The Slim Pushins: big fan of candy corn. Jim Gardner: Yeah. The Slim Pushins: I love me I love me some candy corn. What did what'd Rupe say? I would love to see a drunk carbo with a handful of chocolate bars. Corby: We can make it happen. Winter is just starting, don't worry. The Slim Pushins: I don't know how to take the I don't know if that's a good thing. so yeah. Jim you're you're too much of a yuppie to drink any of the normal energy drinks. You drink What is it that you drink? Celsius? There it is. Right out of Jim Gardner: Yeah, well I've I've switched. The Slim Pushins: the Celsius fridge. Jim Gardner: it's a bud select fridge, but I've switched to these Lando Norris monsters. Yeah. Well, The Slim Pushins: Here it comes. There it is. Always racing. Always racing based. Jim Gardner: we had first of all, they're they're zero sugar or whatever. So they just got different chemicals that are worse for you. But when I went to Formula One with my sister in March or in May. we were in the monster energy suite because my s yeah, that sounds that's dead on brand Corby: Oxta raisin, it's Jib. J good nut. Good nut. The Slim Pushins: With raisinettes. Jim Gardner: for Jeb. But we were in the monster suite down in Miami at at F one and they were given though they were making margaritas out of that stuff. and I must have had, I don't know, fifty of over the course of the weekend. So it was fantastic. So it's just a little nostalgia and remembering my fun trip to Formula One. with my sister, but they're not bad. I I wish the can wasn't so loud and just a regular black cla butt butt can would be better, but you know. That's it. Corby: Red Bull Zeros. That's it. Red Bull Zeros. That's what I drink. I'll drink an Alani. If I gotta have Jim Gardner: Yeah. It's The Slim Pushins: What's wrong with the loud can? Corby: if if I have to drink something in the towards the evening, I'll drink an Alani. Terry Crush, personally. Jim Gardner: I don't know what that is. Corby: It's good. It's delicious. Jim Gardner: What else is going on this weekend? We had Power Eye four tens at TMS three fives. There's door slammers and a demo derby at Boyd Kerbo, you hitting that up Saturday night? The Slim Pushins: Sorry, I was reading j I'm not done with Jeb's comment. He eats a box of raisinettes every night before bed. I I like Jim Gardner: most on brand thing I can imagine. The Slim Pushins: raisinettes. Am I the only one? Well, other than Jeb. Jim Gardner: You and Jeb. Jeb probably buys Corby: I don't Jim Gardner: it by the pallet. Corby: have Jim Gardner: Ha ha ha. Corby: I don't know anyone who eats raisins and likes them. The Slim Pushins: Powallet Jim Gardner: Yeah. The Slim Pushins: Raisinettes. They're covered in chocolate. Roxy said lime Corby: I'm just I'm just saying that there's still a reason. It's still a Jim Gardner: Yeah. The Slim Pushins: slush a lani. And Dean said Mickey's. Corby: That forties? Double. Jim Gardner: Is that The Slim Pushins: yeah, so Boyd's got Boyd's got demolition derby. That could be worth the price Jim Gardner: You gonna hit that up Saturday? The Slim Pushins: of admission. I don't know. Probably not, 'cause none of you yahoos will go with me. Corby? Jim Gardner: No, there's no shot. I'm about to be over. Corby: I'm kinda busy. what wit what day was it? Yeah. The Slim Pushins: Okay. See? Okay. Jim Gardner: Saturday, I think. Is it? I don't know. I'm not going. Corby: His Dean said, Amen The Slim Pushins: And KSP Corby: and amen. The Slim Pushins: has monster trucks this weekend. Corby, monster trucks? Corby: Seen a lot of monster trucks. I'll be alright. The Slim Pushins: So you're out? Jim Gardner: Yeah, you got you guys used to promote didn't you? Corby: Yeah, dad did. The Slim Pushins: Jordan Reeves said WTF or raisinettes. You're gonna have Corby: Yeah. The Slim Pushins: to Google it. The chocolate covered raisins. They're actually really good. Corby: Now from Bigfoot to Monster Patrol to Barefoots, we we've seen all the monster truck stuff and it's cool and all, but it's not for me. It's really loud. It's it's a lot of stuff moving and No. Jim Gardner: Yeah, we took we took my niece and nephew to Monster Jam when Lindsay Warhurst was running it at ATT Stadium. It was fun. Corby: The thought of those guys doing a backflip in one of those trucks is pretty pretty pretty gnarly. We k we knew we met a guy named Pablo Hoffaker that was Jim Gardner: Yeah, no no thanks. I'm out. Yeah. Corby: absolutely out out of control to this day, still out of control. and th those guys and those they I they thought they were in invincible and I it doesn't surprise me that they're starting to do backflips and stuff like that, but jeez. The Slim Pushins: Jim, I don't know if you've been read in yet or not, if you know the the most recent Corby: Okay. The Slim Pushins: news, but over the course of the last three weekends, Corby's gotten a few steps closer to taking the SAT at the end of the football season. Corby: Jesus Christ, here we go. Dude, because no, because I don't know that I don't know Jim Gardner: You having a tough year? You y you must not have Joe Burrow on your team. Corby: the I don't know the point system or how they're doing, but I you sent something to us in Insta in the group and then I made a comment back and then you said nothing back to that because you were just like Your whole five touchdowns with three interceptions? The Slim Pushins: You were talking you were talking shit about Joe Burrow. Corby: The interceptions have to rank more. Dude Joe Burrow probe ninety eight points on me this weekend. Ninety eight. Jim Gardner: Yeah, as he's awesome. Corby: No, he is not. Jim Gardner: He he's the best player in the he's gonna win the MVP. Turn turn they're playing in Spain on Saturday morning or on Sunday morning at nine thirty. Turn it on and watch him. He's gonna win MVP. Nine thirty. Corby: Hm. So what what what did he do in the first quarter? The Slim Pushins: At what time? Corby: Look look at the what did what did he do in the first quarter? Jim Gardner: The whole game is four quarters. First of all, he plays Corby: I'm just asking a question. Just Jim Gardner: quarterback like a man and chucks it downfield. You're gonna have throw picks. it's it's no big deal. Corby: yeah, neither is Dak Prescott. Jim Gardner: Yeah, well he ch The Slim Pushins: Yeah, it's a big deal. Jim Gardner: checked down Nancy and that's why they're awful. They can't win a game. Anyway, well good. We're looking forward to you Corby: is that right? Hm You wan you wanna know y Troy Aikman, Troyman, you wanna talk about big deals? Steve Young. You wanna you wanna talk about The Slim Pushins: Maybe you've heard of them. Corby: big deals? You wan you w we w we gonna go football here? Jim Gardner: Yeah, please name name Corby: No? Yeah. Jim Gardner: name three more football players. Go. Corby: Barry Sanders, Emmett Smith, Michael Irvin. Jim Gardner: Okay. yeah, okay. Non non cowboys. Yeah. The Slim Pushins: Icky Woods. Icky by God Woods. Corby: Non cowboys. Bret Favre's huge Bret Favre fan. Dude's an absolute Jim Gardner: Okay. Corby: legend. Jim Gardner: man. Corby: We're done? You're gonna stop trying to talk shit about me? You wanna talk about history? Jim Gardner: Ha ha ha. The Slim Pushins: Corby was Corby was blaming his four game skid on me today. Corby: Because it happened because you during the drafting process, you're like, You gotta get a quarterback, you gotta get a quarterback, and you gotta go with Lamar Jackson, you gotta go with Lamar Jackson. Great. Lamar Jackson The Slim Pushins: And that's not a bad pick. Corby: two weeks two weeks he got like I think he got he he injured The Slim Pushins: Dislocated his thumb. Corby: No, he injured like something with like his pinky toe and toenail or something like that, right? So you had to take like nine weeks off. And then he came back this week after that and then first throw, dislocated his thumb. I watched Logan dislocate his thumb, they took him to the hospital, he popped it back in, he raced that weekend. He's out for the season. Jim Gardner: Carl Pickens was my guy, eighty one for Cincinnati The Slim Pushins: There you go, Tony. Jim Gardner: when I was a kid. Him, Darna Scott with Jeff Blake throwing it to him, boomer a size in. Yeah. My bangle my bangles are on a heater. Everybody get on board. Corby: Joe Burrow gets hurt. The Slim Pushins: Joe sucked like Corby in the first heat race to hit the track for the night. Corby: Yeah, man, I got absolutely dominated this weekend because Lamar comes back first play. Pussed out after that. That was Jim Gardner: Ha ha ha. Corby: it. That was a rap. The Slim Pushins: It was it wasn't a bad pick. You can't help somebody getting hurt. Corby: No, you just suck at pickin'. That's what happened. The Slim Pushins: We'll see how much you suck taking the SAT. Corby: No, I I'm Jim Gardner: Ha ha ha. Corby: not SATGF, I promise, I'm not that bad. We're fifty fifty right now, we're four and four. Jim Gardner: so curbo Corby: Jim, how are you doing in fantasy? Jim Gardner: Five five and three, I think. Five and three, six and two, something Corby: This weekend. Jim Gardner: like that. I've been good. Kerbo Corby: We lose. Jim Gardner: Rocket Raceway Park in two weeks is gonna ruin a perfectly good trailer. Dragging it around. The Slim Pushins: Big trail trailer race. Do you see what was pulling the trailer? Their water truck. Jim Gardner: It's not gonna be going very fast or be very elusive, I guess. The Slim Pushins: That just seems like a huge liability to me. Jim Gardner: Yeah, somebody monster truck it and ram a Chevy Tahoe into the back of the water truck. I don't know. We'll see. Are you gonna enter? You've been running your mouth all year about it. Corby: I told I I text Wes this morning and I told him to get a hold of Randall L and get us something going. The Slim Pushins: A minivan. Corby wants a minivan. Corby: A minivan. I want a minivan. I want an Astro minivan of all minivans. Jim Gardner: You need something front wheel drive is what you need. I don't they probably are. The Slim Pushins: I can get us I can get us a thousand dollar tr trailblazer. Corby: Is an astral minivan front wheel drive? They might be. I don't know. Mogaw ripped one. It was it was the three tone brown. The Slim Pushins: Minivan? Corby: mean Margot did. Jim Gardner: Yeah, I would imagine they're all front wheel drive. I'm not entirely sure, but front wheel drive is definitely the play. The Slim Pushins: Mine was my very first car ever for the first six months. Corby: I d you you're gonna do a front you're gonna do a front wheel drive, I will show up with a rear wheel drive and still beat you. Jim Gardner: You're not gonna show up anyway. You're all bark no bite. There's no shot. Kerbo's been running his mouth all year about wanting to p put one of these on. He's not even gonna be anywhere near Paris, Texas for this thing. The Slim Pushins: I do want to put one on. Where do you think par where do you think Rocket got the idea from? Slim Pushins. Jim Gardner: the other hundred tracks in the country they cover that have had The Slim Pushins: Well that's not near as good of a story. That's not the storyline that I'm going with. I'm Jim Gardner: Okay. The Slim Pushins: going with that they stole it from the podcast. Jim Gardner: Yeah. The Slim Pushins: Astro vans were rear-wheel drive. My very first car ever for the first six months after I turned 16 was a 1987 Plymouth minivan. And I can tell you from experience it was front-wheel drive because I snapped the axle on it. Jim Gardner: Ha ha ha. Corby: I can only imagine what Jim's first car was. I can tell y'all what mine was. It was it was clean too and I wish I had it. I had a nineteen Jim Gardner: Yeah. Corby: seventy two Ford LTD two door. This thing was bigger than the average house. Pass up everything but the gas station. Gas cage didn't work. You just knew, put twenty bucks in. Take off. Jim Gardner: I still got my The Slim Pushins: Why did you end up Corby: It was baby blue, cloth top, it was clean, man. Original seats. It was clean. The Slim Pushins: Jim, what was yours? Jim Gardner: a Corby: Mm-hmm. Jim Gardner: Ford Ranger, four cylinder. There wasn't an option on it. Corby: Orkin Ranger, was it? Jim Gardner: Mm-hmm. There wasn't an option The Slim Pushins: Not one option. Jim Gardner: on it. Roll ups windows. Corby: yeah, the old two seventy? Jim Gardner: Manual locks, five speed. I still got it sitting out back of my parents' house. Hadn't run in five or six years, but The Slim Pushins: Shut up, Rupe. Corby: You still have it? Dude, if I could find the old Jim Gardner: Yeah, it's sitting out back of my parents' house. Corby: the old blue mamba, man. Jim Gardner: I bet it's crawling with snakes. The Slim Pushins: Wait, that Ford Ranger that's at at your parents' house is your very first vehicle ever? Does it run? Jim Gardner: Uh-huh. Mm, not really. Maybe. I don't know. It sat there for a couple of years. It's probably riddled with snakes and God knows what in there. Corby: Yes. Jim Gardner: But you know, I it wasn't worth the three hundred bucks somebody was gonna give me for it, so I might as well. Yeah, that that Corby: Clean though, right? It was clean. Jim Gardner: that might be a that might be an off season project for me. Like an O three Ranger is what I think it is. So Corby: Dude, had a seventy two four del T D, clean. Jim Gardner: The the danger ranger thing got Corby: No, it was a blue mamba. The Slim Pushins: There was nothing danger about that ranger. Jim Gardner: They got fifty miles to the gallon. It was awesome. Corby: I got less than one. Jim Gardner: Yeah, I'm sure. The Slim Pushins: what else do I have on my notes? What are we gonna do for the next four months? Jim Gardner: God, I I hope something. Corby: Golf. The Slim Pushins: We're de we're a hundred percent gonna have Jeb back on conspiracy theory episode. Jim Gardner: Yeah, as long as the power stays Corby: Mm. Jim Gardner: on or whatever. You guys you idiots were talking about the other night. Corby: A hundred percent that's gonna happen. Did you stock up with some food today? Canned meat? Jim Gardner: No, I haven't. The only thing I stocked up on. Happy Dads. The Slim Pushins: The important stuff. so we'll have we'll have Jeb back on. We're gonna go did we decide we're gonna go to at least every other week, every other Tuesday? Corby: Can't wait. Listen to Patrick. Jim Gardner: Yeah. Yeah. We'll probably take a week off. I will I think so Patrick Bates wants to run the gobbler. So we'll take him there. And I think if we don't lap the field, he's gonna wanna be back in that maxim next year. So that's a there's a good chance of that. that that that maxim will find its way to the racetrack over the off season. So We'll see. 'Cause it's a good piece. yeah, I The Slim Pushins: so Jim Gardner: got plenty of pr off season projects to not be on here. The Slim Pushins: You do. Jim and I have been talking about some content stuff and some behind the scenes stuff. maybe getting some content with Jim working on the midget, getting ready, showing everybody what it takes to man up and go to the chili bowl. which I think's probably a good idea based on the amount of tech questions that we had tonight. Jim Gardner: Ha ha ha. The Slim Pushins: I told him I told Jim that we needed to we needed to call it we needed we Corby: I like that ride, Jordan. The Slim Pushins: need to title it the crew chief corner. which I think would right up Jim's alley. And I think there's a lot of content there. We talked we've talked about it the last couple of days. Jim Gardner: É você. Yeah. Corby: Do you got a good driver you're putting in the seat there? Jim Gardner: Yeah, I got a lot of work to do on it. Me. You're looking at All gas, no brakes. Got three hundred and sixty four days to fix it. So yeah. The Slim Pushins: So and then I know we have at least a couple of episodes of the push and the cushion couples. Jim Gardner: Pushing gals. The Slim Pushins: the yeah, the push and the cushion couples I don't really want to call it a game. There's zero prizes to be won. Jim Gardner: Ha ha The Slim Pushins: but I think it'll be entertaining and it'll it'll give you it'll give you a inside look at a couple of your drivers and They're better haves in a fun, entertaining way. Jim Gardner: Yeah. yeah, so The Slim Pushins: And then if nothing else, we'll we'll make fun of Jim. We can just have a couple of episodes where we bag on Jim. Jim Gardner: Done. Yeah, I'm in. So yeah, I I'll probably video a lot of the the work I'm putting together on this midget just just for content stuff. just to keep it going, let people follow along. if they want to. And then as far as like Corby: Do you want to video any of what I'm doing this winter? Jim Gardner: Mm what? Playing golf, cooking meat, getting The Slim Pushins: No. Hacking away at at range balls. Jim Gardner: getting the meat sweats? Corby: I racing Jim Gardner: Yeah, we would love The Slim Pushins: Last time I talked to you you were trying to log on, you couldn't even log on. Jim Gardner: Yeah. We would love for you to live stream one of your iRaces where you get just boat raced by a twelve year old. I'll get I'll get my c I'll get Corby: do it. Do it. Do it. This this little punk kid. I'll never forget. It I'll I'll never forget it's my favorite comeback there ever was. This little punk kid at The Slim Pushins: Just talking smack. Corby: in in midgets at Lucas and after the race was over, it's like he just kept just punking everyone on the start so bad and I told him, I said, I hope your cereal's soggy in the morning. The Slim Pushins: Corp's got such an odd way to talk shit. Corby: He's probably watching right now. Little shit. The Slim Pushins: Corby's choice of hair products and women's razor blades. Jim Gardner: Ha ha Corby: Tuesday, man, shave day. Jim Gardner: Yeah. The Slim Pushins: Jeb, you didn't miss anything, but I'm glad you went and re upped your raisinette stash. They're good. They're really good. Corby: No one eats raisinettes. Jeff, come on, bro. we can talk about this. No one eats raisins. The Slim Pushins: They're raisinettes. Jim Gardner: There's nothing wrong with raisins. Corby: I'll eat grapes. Jim Gardner: the Yeah, so the only other thing we got Corby: It's grape is the form of a preformed raisin. Raisin is a grape. Jim Gardner: So Devin, I'd be in for an iRacing League, but my internet is so bad here. Corby: I'm so down, Devin. Jim Gardner: I I shut down my my rig a couple of years ago.

Yeah, race The Slim Pushins: here comes the race car driver. Jim Gardner: car guys, and then we're all two seconds off Corby: It's even better whenever you got tear offs on. Jim Gardner: Yeah, they're all two seconds off the pace that the track employees can run the damn thing at. They're like, All right, which one are we gonna have to throw out? The Slim Pushins: Corby Jeb said as long as y'all do the two seater and he controls the pedals. Corby: I'm down. I'm so down. The Slim Pushins: Ga Geis is in. Jim Gardner: Yeah, it'd be good. The Slim Pushins: I think we can make I think we can make this happen. Jim Gardner: Okay. Go ahead and fire it up. The other thing we gotta figure out is we're gonna do a dog pounder of the year. We gotta nominate some some dog pounders. The Slim Pushins: I think I think we need to do we need to if we're gonna do a dog pounder of the year do we need it to narrow down the criteria or is it purely we've done all Jim Gardner: I think we could have people make suggestions and and then we could narrow it down to, you know, top three or whatever and then we could we could vote for it or or whatever. Corby: I'm just gonna say The Slim Pushins: Do we Corby: this like it The Slim Pushins: use Corby: Devin, if you're saying that because you went there with Jason Tyre, that's a package deal. The Slim Pushins: Not allowed back at K one. Corby: Package deal if Jason was there. Jim Gardner: Just enter under an alias, Devin, dick longflop. Anyway, The Slim Pushins: Here comes there it is. It's always Jim's alias. Corby: There it is. The Slim Pushins: One more one more time, Jim, who's your alias? Jim Gardner: Dick Longflop, Richard, if it's you know enough The Slim Pushins: Richard Longflop. Jim Gardner: Doctor. anyway. The Slim Pushins: I like Joey Bag of Donuts. Jim Gardner: Anyway. so yeah, we got we gotta think about what we're gonna do about dog pounders or or year end awards. You know, Stubblefield's gonna win the power rankings, obviously. we do need to have a power rankings show, Kerbo. You guys want you guys want all that smoke. Corby: Of course it was, Devin. The Slim Pushins: I don't know if you want that smoke. Jim Gardner: Yeah, we'll see. We'll have to come up with something. The Slim Pushins: Yeah, we we have a couple of we have some ideas. Like I said, I think Corby: I bet we could get together a massive karting night. A massive. The Slim Pushins: I I would assume that there will be so much damage to those carts. Corby: It's not even just damage, it you would have enough of us show up that it wouldn't be about crashing someone. It'd be about the opportunity to beat Jeb Sesams at anything. know Chad The Slim Pushins: I know Jim's in. Corby: Chad would show up, Jim Jim he'll he'll be off the pace. Bates will probably show up. Jim Gardner: Yeah. I'm in. stop with that shit. yeah. Yeah, we could do that. Corby: You might even have a couple other sherbs show up for that. Jim Gardner: Yeah, we'll see. Sherp The Slim Pushins: Come out of retirement. Corby: Ne my. Jim Gardner: Sherbs only get out of Wise County for baseball and racing things, so We'll see. But anyway we got some stuff figured.
