- Slim Pushins: Just let the bagpipes just play us into the show. What's up, everybody? We're live another day late and a dollar short while Jim tries to figure out the new format. ⁓ as always, my co host, the only guy that I know that's ⁓ been featured more than once on the website, are we dating the same guy? Corby Sherb. Jim Gardner: Well boy. Corby Scherb: Hey everyone, how are y'all? Slim Pushins: And Jim, Hollywood Gardener, trying to figure things out over there. Jim Gardner: What's up? What's up? Yeah, they gave us a new user interface and ⁓ probably should have logged on more than two minutes before the show started to actually figure out how to do it. So this is a work in progress here. Slim Pushins: Format. You already lost everybody. Corby Scherb: ⁓ you said keep the bagpipes playing there, Kerbo. The only bagpipes I like is corn. Corn has an intro that's bagpipes. I don't know why we can't play that one. Jim Gardner: Well, too bad this is the intro music I have for you. Slim Pushins: 'Cause Uncle Jim won't let us play copy copywritten stuff. Who's that? Celine Dion? Corby Scherb: I could probably talk to Jonathan. I could probably talk to Jonathan Davis. He'd probably let us use it. Jim Gardner: Well no. Slim Pushins: Is that Celine Beyond? Jim Gardner: No, that's ⁓ that's Pantera ⁓ walk. And I remember like going over to Sherb's shop at about six forty-two in the morning on a Friday because Corby called me at eleven PM saying we have to pull a motor and a drive line and nothing fits, and we're supposed to race tonight. And I was like, Fine, I'll take off work tomorrow and be there. And it was not even quarter to seven. Panteras on a hundred. Slim Pushins: Never heard of it. Corby Scherb: So hold on the the Slim Pushins: ⁓ Hey. Can we have can we have ⁓ Corby Scherb: It wasn't on Pantera. So the whole story is a Slipknot song came on and I asked Jim, I like, ⁓ dude, do you like this one? And he goes, Is it a different song? Jim Gardner: It's good. Slim Pushins: Yeah. Jim Gardner: They all sounded the same. I don't know. I you know, I had a ninety minute drive over there in the morning just kind of listening to the ticket and you know, mellow stuff and just you could hear it from you know the the edges of Wise County, just the speakers in the shop blowing out six forty five in the morning. God, man. Slim Pushins: It had been there three hours in topic. Easing in your brain. We got it just Corby Scherb: Breaking Benjamin, Slipknot, Corn, I mean like the originals. So our first guest, Jebby. I mean that's he he listens to that kind of stuff. Slim Pushins: Yeah, but Jim Gardner: That's not really on brand for him, but I guess. Slim Pushins: A lot is not on brand for ⁓ Jebba Bubba Bubba. We're gonna have to tell that backstory at some point when it's safe. Jim Gardner: Anyway, so that that's where ⁓ the Corby intro music comes from. ⁓ Slim Pushins: Getting the phone call getting the phone call on like a Friday night going, Hey, do you think we can have five midgets ready in two weeks for ⁓ chili bowl? Jim Gardner: Yeah, it was it was Christmas Day, yeah. Or New Year's Day or something like that. Corby Scherb: Then I blow up my knee. How many how many day what how many days did you spend at the shop that week? Or or that I guess it would have been like a month and a half. What we 'cause we s he started buying midgets up Slim Pushins: Yeah, all of them. Jim Gardner: Like Thanksgiving. Corby Scherb: It was I think it was Thanksgiving. It was it was the day it was the Friday after Thanksgiving that we went and picked up the second one. I believe. And we had one we had it we had a chassis there. He got it from Roger Oakes. He boug he a whole midget and a chassis. And then he went and picked up a third one. It was yeah. And the same like we got some Ford Focus from like the D Briggs. I don't know. It was like h how many how many days do you think you spent at the shop? Slim Pushins: Thanks. Jim Gardner: Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yeah. That first year, I mean, we decided to take that fifth car because we picked up those Mopars and one was a race car and the other one was a kit. And and we might have got that like three days before Christmas. And it was literally a frame and a body that wasn't even fit. and we just had the parts to do it and made it to Chili Bowl with five cars. And I think that car went together in about four days. So Corby Scherb: Pretty chilly ball that year. From the Sylvesters, yeah. And I'm gonna s like it wasn't it's not it wasn't just like you and and Wesley there. Of of course Kerba was if he was there, he was just sitting there drinking beer. ⁓ I'm gonna give a huge shout out right now to Casey Burton at Triple Seven Graphics, because he personally came over there. We had to load up like two days later. He personally came over there and slapped all the stickers on the side of these. Slim Pushins: Listen. Jim Gardner: As before, Kerbo. Hehehehe Yeah. It was a thrash, man. We were not ready to go. But ⁓ it was fun. Corby Scherb: Now we wasn't ready to go because actually I was doing something that I wasn't supposed to be doing and stepped wrong and then blew my knee out again. And so that was the first year. Remember ⁓ it was it was ⁓ December 14th, I'll never forget we were at the Kennedale Test and and I went Yes Yes Slim Pushins: Man, I made it. Jim Gardner: No. Slim Pushins: We I mean inquiring minds wanna know. Jim Gardner: Was that that first year? Slim Pushins: How does he remember shit like that? Jim Gardner: That was before we even had the Mopars. I think we only had three cars by at December fourteenth, yeah. Corby Scherb: Yeah, and so ⁓ Lucas went out there and drove first. I went out and drove after him and ⁓ I came in, and I looked down and I saw that there was a bolt missing out of the rear brake caliper and y'all were up there watching I guess it would have been Logan. 'Cause Logan's kinda came halfway together at least, that one that ⁓ we brought from the Keys, from Noah Key. Jim Gardner: Yeah, right. Corby Scherb: And ⁓ I I looked I saw that bolt was missing and so I just naturally like grabbed the wheel wrench like it was no big deal and didn't realize that they only weigh like eight hundred pounds and they're not locked in gear. And I jerked on the wheel wrench and just truly like stepped forward. And ⁓ I heard a big pop again and I felt the same pain and ⁓ Merle and Lucas were standing in the trailer and I was yelling at them to come and get me and Justin Milton was standing right next to us. Justin Melton was like, What the what's going on with this guy? Jim Gardner: Yeah. Ha ha ha. Corby Scherb: And they picked me up, they pulled me to the front of the trailer and I just slid my fire suit and I saw my knee was already swollen. I'm like, there's no way. There's no way I just did this again. No, 'cause actually a couple of weeks later, ⁓ we went back to the track after we got the Mopars. ⁓ Jim Gardner: Yeah. Yeah. Slim Pushins: Did you cry? Corby Scherb: We went back to Kennedale and Jimmy and Merle helped pick me up to put me inside the midget so that I could try to race. And we put like some extra foam padding around my knee guard. And by the time that I would get set down, the pain was so much it it ⁓ my ankle wouldn't work. It was just just brutal. Jim Gardner: There's no Yeah. Corby Scherb: And I knew that at Kinnadale on a, you know, slippery little track that they made up that that's way different than the Chili Bowl and there's no way ⁓ if if anything happened to me, there's no way I could get out the car. So I actually set out the first year that all my brothers went. Jim Gardner: Yeah. That was That's right. Yep. So that sucked. But yeah, that was a that was a wild for the first it's the only chili boy he's been to that he ⁓ I did you even go up for the week? Yeah. Yeah. Slim Pushins: So you didn't tear anything up? Corby Scherb: No No, I didn't 'cause I actually had surgery the the Thursday before the race. So I was sitting there in ⁓ what are they called, C P ⁓ machines, ⁓ the constant position movement, sitting there, sending them videos of my knee just rocking back and forth. Jim Gardner: Yeah, that's right. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. I've been in that thing twice too. So it Corby Scherb: they're brutal. Strap your knee down, lay down and just start praying. Slim Pushins: I mean Jim Gardner: Yeah, it sucks. Slim Pushins: Being the world class college athlete that you were, it doesn't surprise me that you've been in some of those there, Jim. Corby Scherb: Yeah, yeah, we we can change yeah, we can change tunes. You know, were you born with the chisel jaw line? Or did you grow into that? Jim Gardner: Thanks, Kerbo. Slim Pushins: The all American good look. Jim Gardner: Well, it's it's g getting less chiseled by the year, getting my second chin, you know, so ⁓ yeah. Yeah, no, I blew one knee out playing basketball in college and another one playing football, so ⁓ yeah, intramural basketball, but real deal football. So that was that. Then it was back to race cars. Yeah. ⁓ I played quarterback on the football team, but Corby Scherb: Ha ha. Slim Pushins: Intermural basketball. Corby Scherb: 'Cause that's what you were. You played football in college. That is the Jim Gardner. Jim Gardner: It was not it was not my scene. You wanna talk about guys who are hardcore listening to Pantera at odd hours of the day, all the football guys in college. Like we would have game day and it was just a little division three school, like it wasn't anything important. And ⁓ our we'd kick off at like three thirty in the afternoon and we had to be in the locker room at seven AM just to make sure, you know, ⁓ we had breakfast and everybody was accounted for and things like that. And there would be guys just hammering Pantera. Corby Scherb: Here we go. Here we go. Here we go. Slim Pushins: Linebackers. Linebackers. Jim Gardner: at seven AM s you know, eight and a half hours before kickoff. I'm like, guys, you gotta relax. Just talking to themselves and running into each other and grunting. And I was like, this is not my scene ⁓ at all. These guys are way too serious. And we sucked. We were like four and six that year. And I was like, I'm done with this. Corby Scherb: Yeah, he says that He says that and then they have a game that he has with all of his Cincinnati buddies that it would never fly in Texas, ever. Jim Gardner: Ha ha ha. Slim Pushins: The WWF of drinking games. Jim Gardner: We ⁓ we lived ⁓ we lived in college being competitive. Everything was a competition. Mario Kart, FIFA, beer pong, every everything was a competition. There wasn't I mean, we would just come up with games where we just start s you know, flicking each other's knuckles and ⁓ everything had to be a competition. There was no sitting around not doing anything. So anyway. Yeah, you guys are boring. Boring. Corby Scherb: A hundred percent. We're competitive too. Don't touch me. This is Texas. We just we start a fire and we just sit there. Jim Gardner: ⁓ Yeah. All right. Slim Pushins: You you know, you talk about you talk about linebackers being ⁓ you know, overboard in the mornings. We've seen you take practice swings on the T box. Jim Gardner: I don't see Ha ha ha. Slim Pushins: Hundred and ninety percent. What? Jim Gardner: Yeah. Yeah. Gotta be loose with it. So Corby Scherb: All right, let's make Jimmy happy. Let's get into racing. Jim Gardner: I'm just making sure I can't see the chat. They got this new UI. ⁓ Well, it's 'cause nobody wants to talk about college football. Division three college football from twenty years ago? Slim Pushins: I've got it up on ⁓ well there's no chat. There's nobody said anything either. ⁓ public chat. There it is. No, nobody wants to talk about your college football from twenty twenty years ago. Corby Scherb: No, 'cause you you messed up the day yesterday and so no one's on right now. Jim Gardner: Yeah, right. It was my fault. ⁓ yeah, it's all good, man. Corby Scherb: Hundred percent my fault. Slim Pushins: Let's talk about KSB. You want to, Jim? Jim Gardner: Yes, I would love to talk about Kennedale. Place it's place that's saved my life. ⁓ yeah, he's ⁓ so we'll start first. ⁓ they only got sixteen cars, which was surprising. ⁓ and then not really that surprising when you consider that, you know, the S this clan were gone and you know, I didn't have a car out there and Wilson wasn't there and ⁓ Corby Scherb: Colby Subbafield's still doing Colby Subbafield things. Jim Gardner: you know, Boldens had no C R S race. So there's like seven cars right off the top of my head, ⁓ that weren't there. So only sixteen cars was was ⁓ not disappointing, but ⁓ the field was still really high quality. I mean the top ten was wasn't tough to get into and and ⁓ it was kind of a war there ⁓ first through tenth. ⁓ I thought the racing was really good. It was pretty slick and slow even off the truck. We only ran you know, 14 sevens and hot laps, which is about a second off the pace or more. ⁓ and it was already on the fence and and slick and dusty. And I I don't really have a problem with it because the heat races were great. ⁓ and then they took the time to work the track in and save it from shaking rubber until the very end. So ⁓ you know, the the I thought the main event was great too. It was up on the fence for the most part and wide and slick and Colby ⁓ he started in like the third or fourth row. So, ⁓ you know, it was a good race for him to to have to get up through there. So ⁓ Corby Scherb: Westing Gorham was going really good. ⁓ Westing Gorham made a little little mistake. A typical Kennadell chasing the top. Like I I try to tell a lot of people this at Kennedell there's a top and then there's a top. And ⁓ Gorham clipped the wall and I actually a couple of people clipped the wall throughout the night, but folded up a right rear hub and Colby set cell. Yeah. It it it broke the inside. Yeah, Ricketts got a ladder. Marcus got on the wall. yeah. Jim Gardner: Is that what he did? I know Ricketts blew a ladder out. Couple times, yeah. Corby Scherb: Jeb was Jeb was peeling paint too. Jim Gardner: Yeah. It was rowdy. It was it was y he got it going. Slim Pushins: Braxton Weager was way up there too. Corby Scherb: Yeah, and and it took yeah, it took Braxton a couple of laps to to find it all the way to the top. Like I said, it's just ⁓ it's n it's not it's a it's a very weird feeling to where you can turn right at the end of the straightaway and truly like chase the track all the way to the wall until you find something. it's not an easy thing to tell yourself inside of your head. Jim Gardner: Yeah, it's it's kind of intuitive down down there to to really get up and run, you know, 'cause if you're gonna run the top down there in one and two, you're gonna make your speed kinda in one 'cause two usually kinda tapers off and ⁓ it it gets kind of rolled up out there and there's not usually a ton of grip. So all the speed running the top is is on corner entry down there. But ⁓ Corby Scherb: Mm-hmm. It's it's like you say that and you is it Slim Pushins: Is that is that three in a row? Is that three in a row for Colby? Corby Scherb: We're checking stats 'cause it's the same you gotta remember it gets really slick as you go across where we pull onto the racetrack at Kennedale too, so it it's it's sketchy. It's a it's a clinch moment as you go across there before you find some meat. Jim Gardner: Yes. Slim Pushins: I love putting Jim on the spot. Jim Gardner: ⁓ no, Colby ran seventh at the Hunt County Speed Day show. That was the last time he was out. ⁓ so but I think he won the night the the race before that at Kennedale. So yeah. Three of three of four. So, you know, is what it is. But he's man, he's got it going on right now. Corby Scherb: And he went RPM, right? Slim Pushins: Kobe's mom's on. She just sent a ⁓ message. Corby Scherb: I you know, like I say, I talk about I talk about Colby a lot, you know, he's kind of an underdog, man. He's just a real quiet kid. He keeps his keeps to himself. He's never been overly aggressive with anyone I've ever seen and he just he shows up and does his job. Jim Gardner: Yeah. Cars cars really good. And ⁓ you know, his dad junior knows what's what's up and ⁓ they just ⁓ they're operating with a lot of confidence right now. There's just no other way of getting around it, you know. And ⁓ you know, you could have an eighty seven forty car, eighty eight forty car, you could have a great motor, a good motor. ⁓ the thing that matters most is confidence ⁓ in your setup and your notebook and your driving. ⁓ that will get you further than any trick piece or trick car or anything like that. And they got it going on right now. So Slim Pushins: Just blue collar racing. Like over the track, go to work, win a race. Jim Gardner: Yeah. Yeah. yeah, it's it it's just all business. And he's just very even keel. ⁓ he doesn't make any mistakes. ⁓ and he's super fast. Like his lap times are always just always up there and he's good through traffic. Like he's Slim Pushins: He started w seventh. Jim Gardner: Six or ⁓ Yeah, somewhere back there. Sixth. Yeah, that sounds about right. ⁓ he started sixth. So ⁓ yeah. Slim Pushins: He's really b he's really patient. Corby Scherb: Now we didn't start a seven because Jimmy had the option to pull a seven or a one and he pulled a seven. Slim Pushins: Yeah, Braxton left the trailer to go redraw. And twenty minutes later, Jim comes back and goes, I don't know where Braxton was. I went ahead and redrew for him. Jim Gardner: I just went up to P and I got out of the bathroom and Jeb was walking up, so I was, you know, talking to him a little bit and I was like, What are you doing up here? And he's like, Well, we're redrawing, man. I was like, ⁓ and I looked around, I didn't have my phone on me. And so I was like, I don't want to get like by default the last pill, so I'll I'll go pull this. But ⁓ yeah, exactly. So ⁓ Slim Pushins: So you got second to last. Corby Scherb: Effective. Jim Gardner: Before Kennedale, ⁓ Nebraska Speed Week was going on. We had a some local flavor going up there. Yeses went, ⁓ Caden Cole went, Lance Christie went, and then they got rained out Friday, like on the racetrack rained out, which sucks. ⁓ I think like Rutherford was out for hot laps or his heat race or something, and they rained out Friday in Nebraska. ⁓ And Lance bailed on Saturday up there, ⁓ looking like it was gonna rain at Eagle, which it did. And he made the trip ⁓ nine hours down to Kennedale and had a really good run. ⁓ was fast and and was on the bottom, just killing ⁓ late and ⁓ Corby Scherb: He was a trend setter, man. Everyone was on the top and he was just cruising around on the bottom. Jim Gardner: Yeah. And ⁓ he ended up running second a really good run. I'm sure it was a long day and they got ⁓ they probably had a good night's sleep Saturday night after that. And ⁓ that was cool. ⁓ the guy wants it bad, you know. ⁓ so Slim Pushins: Ask him, I talked to him ⁓ I had to go give him one of the tail tank ⁓ winner stickers and ⁓ he said he he said he had a good idea it was gonna rain out. He just gambled on it raining out and it worked out for him. Mike Frieri's on. What's up, Mike? Jim Gardner: Yeah. ⁓ yeah, one What's up, Mike? ⁓ yeah, it and so and ⁓ Kevin and and DJ and Claude got to run in Kansas at eighty one Speedway on the way home. They ended up running the O C R S race. So ⁓ you know, it didn't totally wash out their trip, but ⁓ yeah to Slim Pushins: Rutherford sent Corby and I a text message late that night after we got home and he was excited, said he finally put a whole race together. ⁓ I I'm I guess I'm the asshole. I don't know where he finished. I didn't look at the rankings, but he was proud of where he where he finished. Jim Gardner: He was up front. It he ⁓ they all were tough on Saturday. ⁓ Claude broke a rear end I saw. ⁓ and I think he didn't make the main, but the yeah, exactly. He didn't make that much power. But ⁓ I think Kevin and DJ were in the top ten or just around it or something like that. They ⁓ I don't know off the top of my head, because it's Corby Scherb: Mm-hmm. Slim Pushins: What happens when you're that fast? Good to have a stats guy like Jim on on the show. Jim Gardner: I'm on it. ⁓ I just didn't do it for points. So I didn't look at it. ⁓ Kevin was seventh. And ⁓ DJ was eleventh. So ⁓ Carson Bolden was seventeenth, it looks like. I I I don't know if ⁓ I think he was up front and then had issues, right? I think he was third or fourth and broke or the motor laid down or something like that. Corby Scherb: I think so. Yep. Jim Gardner: So he was up front. So they had a good a good week up there. ⁓ you know, I was just kind of following along Wednesday and Thursday and they were in the mix, you know, the the tough hitters of of the Nebraska area and South Dakota and stuff, ⁓ and Kyle Jones got the win ⁓ Thursday night. ⁓ but like all of our local contingent were right in there throwing punches with everybody. and ⁓ you know, put on a good showing up there all week. And then like I said, ⁓ Corby Scherb: Course Cal did. Super cool. Super cool. Slim Pushins: Huge win. Very well time. Jim Gardner: You know, Lance and and the SS crew adapted on Saturday and each had some good runs. So ⁓ good for them. ⁓ gu guys want it bad and that's that's ⁓ that that's half the battle most of the time is just giving a shit and trying hard. So ⁓ but yeah. You guys got anything else from Kennedale? Slim Pushins: Corn Doc Review. Jim Gardner: Yeah, we got some corn dogs in. ⁓ we asked Braxton to go get get us some and he ended up bringing back like eight. So nobody else could enjoy corn dogs because we had them all on our trailer. ⁓ which no problem here. not too bad. ⁓ but they were awesome as usual. ⁓ the best two bucks in racing. Yeah. Kerbo, check your mic. Slim Pushins: That'd be hot. My mic? Jim Gardner: Yeah, that's better. Was that or was that just me, Corby? Corby Scherb: I think I think Kerberos needs to check his face, that'd be the best thing for everyone. Jim Gardner: There you go. Slim Pushins: My face doesn't have anything to do with the mic. Jim Gardner: ⁓ do I have anything else from Canada? ⁓ I got ⁓ so two things about Kennendale. One, I got there at four o'clock, and there was like six tailgators, you know, six cars of tailgators, pop up tents, grilling food, ⁓ playing cornhole, and you know, three hours before hot laps started. And I don't know that I've really noticed a lot of that going on in town, especially when it's as hot as it's been, but ⁓ I wish we had some way to like get in touch with those people. That's that's cool that they're kind of really making a day in an event of of just a local, you know, Saturday night race. You know, it's not some touring series or anything. ⁓ it was we should. Or some pushing the cushion stickers or something. ⁓ you know, so ⁓ that was cool. ⁓ the only other thing I have from Kennedale is ⁓ the three cars crash. ⁓ Slim Pushins: We need to take ⁓ some hats. Jim Gardner: Charlie, Charlie Harman's crash. ⁓ that he post yeah, I gotta figure out how to find it here. Give me a second. ⁓ Slim Pushins: You have that video? Corby Scherb: Yeah. Slim Pushins: We gotta give credit to his dad since we're using it publicly. The deuce, Charlie Harmon the second. ⁓ we got sound? Corby Scherb: ⁓ yeah. Jim Gardner: Yeah. Yeah, so yeah, I'll take the sound out. Well, do a little sound. So he's in the back there. And again, it was the heats were really racy and good. Slim Pushins: Stubblefield running away with it like Stubblefield does. Jim Gardner: Yeah, so double slider and then you could see I think that's Marcus have to stand on the brakes. I don't think the Charlie cut him much slack and then Marcus kind of short slides him back here, but I don't really think it had anything to do with it. Corby Scherb: Got him a nice little double slider right there. Slim Pushins: Watch this tire shred just pieces of tire just get slung all over the back stretch. Corby Scherb: I I I I think I yeah, I think I don't think that Marcus ⁓ did did much. I I think that Harmon had already jumped the cushion at that point. And it's just it's a tough deal, you know. I mean I'll be honest, if I threw a slider on Marcus I'm gonna try to run as fast as I can. It's the same as if I did that to Jeb Ricolby, I I gotta get out of here right now. Jim Gardner: We'll we'll run that back. Yeah, I I Yeah. Yeah. And if you look down here, Charlie's Charlie makes an aggressive move. You know, he's got he's got Marcus in a bad spot and and forces Marcus to lift. But Marcus I mean, this is a pretty thin slider here. ⁓ and and I Corby Scherb: ⁓ yeah. Yeah. Same, it just it just gets really marbly up there on top of two. Jim Gardner: Yeah, it's Slim Pushins: He hit that wall. He hit that wall right in front of me, directly in front of me. And it hit a ton that first hit. Jim Gardner: Yeah. It was tore up. His dad his dad, ⁓ or or I I I assume that was his dad, I don't know, was coming down asking us for ⁓ a rivet gun, which I I usually come prepared for battle. Corby Scherb: Yeah. Crap hall. Slim Pushins: No, that's the is that who that is? I feel stupid for not knowing. Corby Scherb: I think so. I don't know. Charlie Charlie's probably gonna get on here and and call me out on that. Jim Gardner: Was that it? Okay. Yeah. ⁓ anyway, somebody from his camp came down asking for a ribbet gun and I I come prepared for battle, but ⁓ if you need a ribbet gun, it's it's bad news ⁓ in general. ⁓ but we had one, lent it to him, and they got it together and he had you know, he finished seventh and when it was all said and done. So ⁓ I was very shocked ⁓ that they got it together because that thing was tore up and ⁓ and then had a good finish out of it, you know. So he had some good speed, so ⁓ you know. Corby Scherb: Yeah. Slim Pushins: Mr Mr. Unapproachable, always happy to help out anybody that comes down. Jim Gardner: I should clarify s somebody else gave ⁓ one. I don't even know. I I bring my own tools for a reason. I have no idea who what anybody's got for anything in a trailer that we go help. So ⁓ but yeah. Slim Pushins: Always brings his own tools. Corby Scherb: Smile a little bit at the racetrack, it helps. Jim Gardner: I I smile plenty. Slim Pushins: Leave that's absolute absolute lie. Corby Scherb: Not at the racetrack. Jim Gardner: Yeah. ⁓ so yeah, that was that was Kennedale. ⁓ Slim Pushins: Everybody knows. When are we gonna put those shirts out? ⁓ are we gonna do shirts, Mr. Unapproachable? Jim Gardner: ⁓ maybe. Slim Pushins: That's a no. I've lived long enough. I've lived long enough to know what that we'll think about it. That's a no. Corby Scherb: We've known yeah. It's like your parents telling you that they're not mad, they're just disappointed. I heard that a lot. Jim Gardner: It I just that's more yeah. Slim Pushins: I'm not mad. I'm just disappointed in your in your decision making. Jim Gardner: off at Kennadale for a couple weeks, not back there till until July eleventh. So is that three weeks? Three weeks off there. ⁓ this week Ardmore and RPM are running. I'm going to Ardmore for a little redemption. Still haven't ⁓ still haven't made my way down to Bates' shop to throw these bad boys on backwards. ⁓ Corby Scherb: I heard that a lot. Mm. Yeah. Slim Pushins: Where are you gonna be, Jim? Little vindication. He's got he's got props. He's got props just readily available in case something comes up. What do you got there, Corby? Jim Gardner: Actually I should probably leave these They're angled backwards. Corby Scherb: ⁓ just a little ranch water? Well tequila and topo. Slim Pushins: Little ranch water. Look at Trullies. What is that? White claw? Jim Gardner: White claw. Black b it ⁓ I get the flavors that my wife doesn't like to drink, but sh she gets the variety pack and doesn't like half of ⁓ So spoiler alert. Slim Pushins: All right. I take it I take it back. We don't need Mr. Unapproachable Hats. We need the White Clock White Claw King ha ⁓ shirts. Jim Gardner: Yeah. So spoiler alert, they all taste the same. There's no difference. Pineapple, black cherry, raspberry, or whatever. Corby Scherb: I got a buddy that drinks happy dads, ⁓ like religiously. Yeah. And it's like a seltzer water and it tastes like water. And you will get in big trouble on them dudes. Big trouble. Slim Pushins: Like What? Jim Gardner: I don't know what that is. Yeah. I I don't know. It sh they're either I'm either gonna drink these or they're gonna sit in my fridge. And they're not gonna cause she'll Corby Scherb: Kerba, what are you drinking? Like why why are you running your mouth? Great looking hat though. Great looking hat. The new rope the new rope pads are really in, man. They're huge. Same? Same? Jim's got a rope hat on. Slim Pushins: What do you mean, I'm drinking I like it. The factor fencing the factor fencing folks hooked me up.

I've gotten I think we've proven on here, on this program, I don't give a shit what anybody thinks about me.

Pulls out there with a cigarette in, he just flicks the cigarette, just lights it up. One hundred percent. That's what I'm that's what I'm going for. That guy. Slim Pushins: That's what Corby and I are going for. Eighty five year old men. Yeah. On a Cub Cadet. Jim Gardner: Kirbo, can we put some ⁓ Mickey Thompson mutters on your truck and run in the ⁓ daily driver class up there? Slim Pushins: Bro, I'm hoping I'm I'm really praying that the old white lighting makes it up there. We've got two hundred and almost two hundred and forty eight thousand miles on it. ⁓ yeah, I don't Corby Scherb: I bet. Jim Gardner: Yeah. Corby Scherb: And you make fun of my truck. We only got eighty five on her. Slim Pushins: Well, your your rear camera only works when the temperature's below like seven forty three degrees. Corby Scherb: Dude actually Ford just ⁓ finally came out with it. They'll fix it. Slim Pushins: There's a recall. Corby Scherb: ⁓ one hundred percent.

Slim Pushins: So they actually admitted it. Jim Gardner: Or mirrors, you know. Old school old school. ⁓ Slim Pushins: Mike said KSP is starting at seven thirty Saturday night because of the heat. Jim Gardner: ⁓ yeah, I hope Ardmore does the same. ⁓ I the other thing about Kennedale, ⁓ that that sprint car main event checkered flag was at like nine thirty or nine forty five. ⁓ it was awesome. ⁓ Corby Scherb: ⁓ yeah. Huge respect. Slim Pushins: I didn't I didn't look at a w at my at my watch but ⁓ Corby wasn't raising hell to go load up and everything, so I figured it was pretty early. Corby Scherb: No, Art Ardmore's really good about that too. I I'm always gonna be a big fan of getting the show done early so we can all get home. ⁓ Jim Gardner: Yeah, they ⁓ they did a little tracker work there for intermission and ⁓ yeah and and and it wasn't but ten fifteen minutes of just a break and and we went back out ⁓ we were the second race out and that thing was done by like I said, I think it was quarter to ten when I was walking back to the trailer. So ⁓ that was awesome. Or like we need more of that. We don't need these one AM, one thirty in the morning ⁓ deals. Like you gotta get people there and Corby Scherb: With the kids' candy rush. Absolutely. Mm-hmm. Jim Gardner: Get them entertained and then let's get on the road. So ⁓ that was awesome. I I I did want to make sure I said that about Kennedale. ⁓ I was really happy with the entire night. The track prep was great. It you know, it didn't take rubber, it was racy all night. ⁓ you know, if that's what you got to do in the heat is make it be super slick until the sun goes down and then spend twenty minutes on the track for the features, ⁓ by all means go for it, you know, and then get people out at a decent hour so we can drive home. Corby Scherb: I agree. Jim Gardner: Or hang out with fans in the pits or or anything. So yep. Or or drink beer in the pits and shoot the bull, which is what Kerba wants to do until dawn. So ⁓ yeah. Corby Scherb: I wanna go home. Kerba, load up. I wanna go home. Slim Pushins: That's all I ever hear. That's all I ever hear. Corby Scherb: One hundred percent.

I don't have a wife. I have a kid. They got things to do on Sundays, you know, Bed Bath and Beyond. You know, lots of things. Maybe hit up the JC Penney. Jim Gardner: I got a kid. And a wife. Yeah. So we got people to answer to. That's right. Yeah. Yeah. Ex Slim Pushins: Okay, so tractor pull Friday and Saturday night. They're I guess they're having a they're having a steak cook off tomorrow night. I I'm not gonna be able to make that. Some of it's gotta work for a living. Jim Gardner: Nice. ⁓ and that big fireworks shows too. I guess it's gonna be a big deal. Yeah. Corby Scherb: You don't do anything. Slim Pushins: Corby left me in charge of fireworks. Corby Scherb: Yeah. No, Kerbo is not allowed to touch fireworks. Jim Gardner: ⁓ Slim Pushins: I'm bringing a lighter. Jim Gardner: And ⁓ so and we'll make sure RPM's running too and they're gonna get a good field of cars. ⁓ I know Stubblefield ⁓ is going there. ⁓ a lot of locals ⁓ wanna go back to RPM. I hope they get, you know, a good full field. ⁓ hate that it's not Corby Scherb: Believe it. Absolutely. Mm. No, no, dude. I'm just just overworked right now. Well underpaid too. Well underpaid. Slim Pushins: Are we boring you, Corby? Jim Gardner: Take a number. ⁓ so yeah, RPM is running two. ⁓ and ⁓ we'll see. Should be a good weekend. Then ⁓ 4th of July next weekend, there is a Saturday show at Waco. So I think they have Corby Scherb: Mm-hmm. Slim Pushins: There was some talk about whether or not it got cancelled. I and I'm just purely speaking from overhearing conversations. So I if you're gonna plan on go to Waco, just fact check me. Well, you should always fact check me. Jim Gardner: So they had ⁓ at when their schedule came out, it had a lot of elite four ten races. It had like two or three of those. And I think this was maybe one of those weekends where it was supposed to be a four ten show and then ⁓ of course those races haven't been going on and so I I guess it got changed to a race ever race. I'm not I I it's on the schedule. It's on my race pass. So ⁓ on Saturday of their three day sho or of their two day show. Yeah, two day show. So Slim Pushins: Well Corby Scherb: Yeah. Jim Gardner: ⁓ I'll be out of town. I'll be in ⁓ in Cleveland, Ohio, jealous. ⁓ the armpit of Ohio, ⁓ because I'm from Cincinnati, the classy part of the state state. ⁓ seeing my wife's family, but I'll be out of town, but ⁓ go to Waco next week. I am not a Browns fan. I have all my teeth. Slim Pushins: Bates' family's from Cleveland. Corby Scherb: Is that is that why you're a Browns fan? Slim Pushins: ⁓ real quick. Jim Gardner: I'll tell you what, Justin Bates is lucky his family's not from about fifty miles east of where they're from 'cause if he was wearing a Pittsburgh Steelers hat the day I met him, I would have just stopped talking to him. I mean, I would have just shunned him from there. ⁓ Slim Pushins: Speaking of Kennedale, they did a really cool tribute ⁓ four wise. Corby Scherb: I agree. And yeah, and Kyle Kyle got his win for that, ⁓ super super cool. great guy. Super great guy. Jim Gardner: Yeah. Caught that from the back stretch. ⁓ Corby Scherb: Did the missing man. It's cool to see all the all the phones lit up. ⁓ my daughter thought that that was flashlights up there, but ⁓ we don't Jim Gardner: Did missing man. Yeah. More or less. You know, I it I don't get I don't get to see ⁓ you don't get to see that that view that often. So I thought that was cool. ⁓ they did a really good job ⁓ with the Sonny Miller tribute. Slim Pushins: Yeah, she asked us. She asked us. Why does everybody have flashlights? Have y'all have either of you two ever messed up before one? Corby Scherb: Not that I know of. Jim Gardner: ⁓ s I think like I No, no, no, no. I ⁓ like the first time I drove a Sherb car was at Abilene, which is going into turn one. It's only wide enough for three cars of a fat It's only th Yeah, I was on the inside and got s pushed into an infield tire on the four wide. Slim Pushins: That it sounds like you just answered that question. Corby Scherb: Is he about to point the finger at me? Sounds like it ⁓ Are you talking about yeah, I w I was I was on the outside, yes, one hundred percent. Yes. Logan Logan and Warhurst were like this inside of each other. Jim Gardner: Yeah, man. Going in that first tire going into turn one at Abilene, we did a four wide there and like that was maybe the first time I've ever driven the four the one S. It was probably the first time in ten years I had been in a sprint car. And ⁓ it was edgy. And it like the whole field is bouncing off each other all the way down the front straightaway. It was and and all it takes is one guy to hop a tire and you're gonna junk six cars. That Corby Scherb: Yeah. Abile was tough. Slim Pushins: How do you? Corby Scherb: Avaline was always tough. Boyd was always really tough. It's just it's really narrow down the straightaways at Boyd and it was really tough to be four wide going into one there. Jim Gardner: Yeah. Slim Pushins: How do you know your position? Corby Scherb: You have no idea. You just y you just listen for tires to start squealing. Jim Gardner: Yeah. Ha ha ha Slim Pushins: No no, I mean when they call for four wide to go four wide, how do you know how do you know if you're going inside, outside? Corby Scherb: Y typically the the majority of ⁓ is the first half of the field stays where they are and the second half of the field splits out and goes out wide so that you can be really cool whenever they call off the four wide. If like you're starting, you know, second and the or you're starting third and the pulse hitter takes off and you just get to rip a big old skid right there, just rubbing tires with everyone. Get to feel cool there for about four seconds pulling out of the pack. Jim Gardner: Yeah. Slim Pushins: I mean, it's weird 'cause it everybody it's always pulled off and it seems like to the fans it's pulled off without a hitch. Like they call it, everybody gets into position. But like I've met some of these guys. Some of these guys are not the smartest. They don't have all their sharp crayons. Corby Scherb: TSS well TSS had it had it well, they had a really good rule which was ⁓ odd numbers stay, even numbers go out. So like if if first and second was here, so it was just based on your row, the second row would split out and go out. and and that and that was really cool. It seemed to like make it a little bit quicker of a process. The the half the field stuff. yeah, see, there it is, Patrick, odd row split. Jim Gardner: Ha Yeah. Yeah. Odd ⁓ odd rows. Yeah, so like the the national the national tours do the odd rows to split out and then that way, you know, like for the Knoxville Nationals, the guys on the front row that have all their pictures taken isn't first, second, fifteenth and sixteenth. You know, it's first, second, third, and fourth on the lineup are in the front row for the pictures. So ⁓ Slim Pushins: Patrick's a smart guy though. Corby Scherb: Yeah. Jim Gardner: But mostly when we do ⁓ down here, it's pure chaos. Like if you're starting on the inside, figure it out on the bottom two lanes. And if you're starting on the outside, figure it out on the top two lanes and try not to hit anybody. Yeah, exactly. Slim Pushins: But what I'm saying is it doesn't it doesn't it doesn't come across like that. It looks really choreographed. That's why I asked the question. 'Cause I know I know it's not choreographed. Corby Scherb: Just let go and let God. No, I'm telling you, I I'll I'll be honest, I think that the scariest thing for me in a sprint car is whenever you get bump started and Kerl was probably playing the around game in the pits and so we're last out and so we get bumped off, we're supposed to start like third row inside and we're twelfth row outside right now. So you gotta carve through the field. Slim Pushins: Ripping down the inside. Corby Scherb: And you don't wanna just like take the B line through the infield because there's fifteen people standing down there, so you're just like ⁓ you're just trying to like stick your nose in, like let ⁓ know that you're right there on the inside of ⁓ to get all the way back to the front. I hate that. Slim Pushins: Jim, Jim would rip your ass if you got into somebody trying to get to your starting position. Corby Scherb: I h I hate that. I hate that. I hate that. Jim Gardner: I I would. Yeah. But yeah, Abilene Abilene four wide. I like I I about crashed a car. ⁓ it sucked. Slim Pushins: Jeb, there was some there was some tense moments at times. Jeb's not always Jeb's never the first one to staging, no matter what's going on. There was a we did a lot of speeding through pit areas and and shoots, track entries. ⁓ Jim Gardner: No. Ha ha Slim Pushins: What game were we playing, Corby? Corby Scherb: Which one? Slim Pushins: What what game you said I was probably playing the what game? Corby Scherb: ⁓ the ground game? I guarantee you 'cause Kerba was nowhere to be found. Guarantee you. Jim Gardner: Yeah. Slim Pushins: Corby has the uncanny ability to censor himself. Just just doing Jim a favor. Jim Gardner: Yep. That's good. And that means I don't have to do it. Yeah. Appreciate that. Slim Pushins: Alright, let's what what other pictures do we have? Nebraska Speed ⁓ I I got I've got very comprehensive notes here. Before we get into something ⁓ important, ⁓ y'all haven't seen a giraffe around, have you? There was a giraffe that got loose. Jim Gardner: I got No. Wow. Slim Pushins: G Gracie, five thousand dollar reward. Jim Gardner: ⁓ like a private giraffe or from a zoo? Corby Scherb: Yeah, that's what I was about to say. Slim Pushins: It was from a it was from a wilderness preserve like southeast of San Antonio. It's been all over the news. It's tall, Jim. Jim Gardner: Yeah. San Antonio, how am I gonna see it in Denison? This six six hours away. Like we have ⁓ Corby Scherb: Them things are gnarly, man. Now they fight, they use they use their heads, just give each other concussions constantly. Dude. Slim Pushins: Could you Like baseball bat. Could you imagine just driving down the road, you know, subconsciously we see different things and you pass different things? Holy shit, that's a giraffe. Jim Gardner: Ha ha. Yeah. ⁓ yeah, no I have not seen a giraffe here. ⁓ Slim Pushins: We'll mark that one off the list. Corby Scherb: You know y the craziest thing is is where do giraffes go when it storms? They just stand up there, just take it, just let go and let God. Slim Pushins: Hold on. Hold on. Give me a second. Bait Bates has got something lined up. I see it on my phone, but it hasn't ⁓ it hasn't populated yet on ⁓ no. He's got it there it is. Let's just fire that one up here real quick. Nope, not that one. Corby Scherb: Jim Jim's going south. Jim's Jim's not having me right now. The organized chaos? There you Good job, Caro. Slim Pushins: Hide. No, this one. It's stuffed in some redneck's trailer by now. Corby Scherb: I'm sure. That's a lot of neck meat. Jim Gardner: ⁓ probably. ⁓ man. Slim Pushins: I don't know. I don't I'm just gonna let that one go. I'm just gonna let it Jim Gardner: I ⁓ hey ⁓ is is Stassa still on? It's Stassa. Can you ⁓ will you let us know? Do you think we can fix that non wing car? ⁓ this was Clinton Bruns, Burns, Bruns, maybe from from Iowa, ⁓ posted this.

Slim Pushins: Cast. Jim Gardner: Three T four, T five, T six issues. They told him he can't race ⁓ the rest of the year. That thing is tore up. that is tore up, but apparently he's he's doing all right. ⁓ you you know, we had LaPlante on or somebody, and you know, they think USAC racing is boring, which it's not. It's the best racing on the planet. wondering why more more big time guys don't run non wing stuff. That's why. Slim Pushins: Лата, т issues. Corby Scherb: Thraci. It's called the Thoracic. Yeah, that's bad. Slim Pushins: Jim takes exception to that. Jim Gardner: 'Cause that thing is junk. ⁓ there ain't a good part on that thing. Corby Scherb: For sure. For sure. Slim Pushins: There's a video there's a video of Brady Bacon. Stasa said anything can be fixed. How much money you got? There's a there's a video of Brady Bacon and I know Jim Gardner: I see the pannered bar is still straight on that thing, Patrick. So we got that going for us. ⁓ the nerf bars look good. Yeah. I bet on that. Slim Pushins: Jim pr Patrick said bring it to him and you can just leave it for another six months before you pick it up. Yeah, there's a video of Brady Bacon that got to flipping and flipped off into the parking lot. ⁓ where? Jim Gardner: Yep. Yep. Corby Scherb: Yeah, the accent track. He got ballparked. He di he he got ballparked. Yeah. Jim Gardner: ⁓ Terra Haute. Yeah, ter Terra Hotes I everybody needs to go to Terra Hot and watch hot laps one time and go stand in the infield and turn one because it is Slim Pushins: No, yeah. Stasa said he wouldn't touch it. Jim Gardner: It's dicey. Yeah, no that yeah, that that thing is that but that old girl is used up. Corby Scherb: You can say that and I'll I'll bring up I'll bring up motorcycles again. Like you you can keep on doing that, dude. You you cannot beat standing and turn three at Springfield and watch a practice. Slim Pushins: And w watching a man's body get hurled into the hay bales. Jim Gardner: I don't know. Yeah, that's mostly no, not like Corby Scherb: ⁓ yeah, like George Rotor. That I sent you that Crash Impact video, George Rotor tucked the front. Slim Pushins: Like a hockey fight. It's like a hockey fight. Jim Gardner: I I mean you guys took me to that race at TMS and the whole time I'm just sitting here thinking like I'm gonna watch somebody die tonight. This is the sketchiest the sketchiest thing. I don't wanna Yeah. Yeah, like I'm just I'm out on this and ⁓ I I can't enjoy it because I'm so terrified to to watch somebody's leg get snapped in half. So ⁓ Corby Scherb: No, he didn't die, he just had a spiral fracture ⁓ tip fib. Slim Pushins: Jim's like somebody showed up here to win and they're gonna die. Corby, what was your worst injury? Corby Scherb: I I mean like the I don't know, like the most painful one or th the worst one was I I was fourteen and I crashed at Boyd actually and Merle ran me over and Merle crashed too. But but ⁓ I was knocked out I was knocked out for Merle Merle was the first one too because he fell too and he looked up my shield and he he said that ⁓ I was just sitting there just stiff. Slim Pushins: Merlin's done so much damage on a bike. Jim Gardner: Sounds about right. Like when you're Corby Scherb: And he watched my eyes roll back and start having a seizure. ⁓ I was knocked out for fifteen minutes, had an impact seizure. I got a careflat ride. Yeah, I got a careflat ride. And ⁓ spent three nights in ICU. Just didn't d didn't know my name, didn't know what was going on, and but yeah, we we went through a couple of doctors so that they would approve and sign off on my release papers and fourteen year old kid. Slim Pushins: That was the care flight night. That's like sixty grand right off the bat. Jim Gardner: Just go find a different one. Corby Scherb: fourteen year old kid and the doctor said that, you know, you'll never race again and I looked at my mom and I said, We're at the wrong doctor And so we bounced through couple of doctors until they was cool with it. ⁓ probab Jim Gardner: Ha ha ha Slim Pushins: Knowing your mother knowing your mom, she was probably like, Give me a second, I know a guy. Corby Scherb: ⁓ man, the scariest one was Peoria, Illinois. I was twenty w twenty two twenty two and it I c I crashed Slim Pushins: Das I said if someone got hurt in a car I fixed, I wouldn't be able to sleep. I get that. Corby Scherb: ⁓ I I agree with you, Patrick. That's why I won't touch cars. Not not happening. ⁓ crashed on the first lap, trying to be a hero, and ⁓ got painted over like five times and ⁓ dislocated my right shoulder, broke my right shoulder blade, three ribs in the front, one in the back, puncture collapsed along. That that one was pretty gnarly. Jim Gardner: ⁓ so so Pat so Patrick, I Patrick, I'm I'm with you on that. That was one thing that ⁓ when I started really like turning turning to being a crew guy for other people and building cars and stuff, ⁓ I became much more of a prick about everything. You know, if it happened to me if if it happened to me in my car and I got banged up, you know, that's one thing, but when you know Slim Pushins: All right. I just needed one answer. Like we could go on and on about your injuries. Like, okay. Let's dial it back up now. No shit. Jim Gardner: If Justin got banged up or or or Corby or Lucas or anybody got hurt in something that I was was working on, I could not fathom, you know, what that would be like. And and that's why I would get so pissed when stuff was loose when you guys would just play, you know, make TikTok videos in the shop instead of actually work on the car. And then I get to the racetrack and there'd be bolts loose. And that is exactly what happened. And then I get Slim Pushins: The accusations that get thrown around are just Corby Scherb: Ha ha. Jim Gardner: you know, pissed off 'cause I don't want to like go spoon feed Corby Jell O for the rest of my life. And, you know, 'cause he didn't tighten the panthered bar on the sprint card. You know, like that you guys made me. Slim Pushins: Well what if that wrench that you threw at us would have just hit us in the right spot and paralyzed us? Then what? Jim Gardner: We established this earlier. I played college football. I can put the wrench wherever I want to. I hit you right between the numbers. Corby Scherb: Here we go. Slim Pushins: If only you could do that with a golf ball. Jim Gardner: Yeah, that's true. Or be able to, you know, hit my marks in a sprint car. ⁓ I got one transition hitting marks. Our guy, the second most popular Dutch driver in America. Slim Pushins: Who are these guys? Pretty much nobody. Jim Gardner: Yeah, definitely nobody's. Corby Scherb: One hundred percent. Slim Pushins: Check out WoW. Jim Gardner: Wout Yeah, Wout was doing it over the weekend. Corby Scherb: Full the Kyle Larson line. Jim Gardner: Ripping the beadlock bolts off of that thing. Slim Pushins: He told me he told me that was the most fun he'd had behind the wheel in a long time. Give me one more. Jim Gardner: Albert. Yeah, we'll do that again, Harry. Let me pull that pull that sound down. But yeah, like he's he's in there just parking that w that right rear on the fence. ⁓ I think this was on the qualifying night, Thursday or Friday at the high banks hustle. ⁓ Slim Pushins: locked in. He was so excited too. He locked in. Twelve thousand to win. Jim Gardner: Yeah, he ⁓ he ended up running second and ⁓ I think Jeffrey Newell won. Really? Slim Pushins: I think he got third. Like I thought he got second and then I saw that he got third. He said he was gonna ⁓ he said he was gonna tune in, but that was last night when we were supposed to be live. There's there's after the race. So dejected. Corby Scherb: I don't know, man. You know, I I saw that picture right there and and those are the those are the pictures that you know, that nah man, it's just so much passion. ⁓ you you work so hard for sometimes just a single moment and it just takes a single mistake to to change everything, whether it was ⁓ something that me and Jim talked about doing in in the pits ⁓ that we went the wrong way with or Jim Gardner: Yeah. Slim Pushins: That's a great picker. Corby Scherb: ⁓ just made a mistake or got put in a bad spot or got into Lappers. ⁓ th those pictures right there, me I promise you in ten years from now, while like you'll look back at that picture and you'll smile just to know how much you really wanted it. ⁓ those pictures are big. Slim Pushins: Like that that picture says so much. I texted him and I was like, Hey, I need to know the backstory on that picture before I go making assumptions on a podcast and you know, you just needed to pee really bad. And he was like, Man, I was so dejected. He was like, I I I they give me a car to win every single night and I knew I had the speed. I knew I had the car. ⁓ and he said I Corby Scherb: Isn't that Johnny B right there next to him? I can't tell. Slim Pushins: He said he's he said he was so over it. ⁓ you know, running second, third, getting po getting podiums and coming so close to these wins and ⁓ he said I I just I want to win so bad. But that picture says a lot. I love it. Jim Gardner: He's Yeah. We talked about when we had him here on the show, you know, he's he's nineteen years old, twenty years old, and he's halfway across the world, you know, sleeping on couches and meeting people he's sacrificed a lot. ⁓ and it just to be that close. ⁓ yeah. Yeah. To be that close to ⁓ to achieving the role, like I I can't imagine what that's like, you know. So Slim Pushins: Still sacrificing. He just moved to Nebraska to keep racing. Corby Scherb: Chasing, absolutely chasing. Jim Gardner: ⁓ hat tip to him. ⁓ Johnny Bolin, his whole team. Johnny's been fighting some adversity, you know, losing his father all year and figuring it out. ⁓ again, this, you know, I don't I don't really know much about the micro scene, ⁓ but happy to see those guys performing well. ⁓ it's fun to just be able to follow ⁓ Slim Pushins: He's ⁓ he's either already in Indy, I think, is indie this weekend in midgets. I f I'm pretty sure I'm pretty sure he told me that ⁓ Corby Scherb: B C thirty nine, is it this weekend? It's gotta be this weekend, s it's not next weekend. It'll be the either this weekend or the next. Mm-hmm. Jim Gardner: For the B C thirty nine? Is they are they running that car that he put in the chili bowl? Slim Pushins: Yeah. I think he was more than that. I would assume so, but I that's purely a guess. Jim Gardner: Yeah, so it's ⁓ Tuesday, Wednesday. Tuesday. Monday Tuesday. Slim Pushins: Maybe he's not already there. Or maybe he is there, getting his mind right. Jim Gardner: ⁓ why do they have prelim night and championship night both listed as Tuesdays? What is going on around here? Slim Pushins: Look at Jim sporting the podcast church. You've been working out? Corby Scherb: Look at the shirt, bud. Jim Gardner: That's right. Corby Scherb: Sassy had. Jim Gardner: No, the ⁓ exact opposite. The only iron I've been pumping is a fork. ⁓ and white claws, thanks. Yeah. ⁓ yeah, I think they run midweek next week. Is that right? Slim Pushins: And bike off. Jim Gardner: ⁓ the thirtieth and the first. When is that? That's ⁓ Tuesday, Wednesday next week, yeah. So ⁓ they'll probably race somewhere this weekend and then and head up there. So Corby Scherb: It is. It's the twenty fourth today. Slim Pushins: ⁓ So we showed we showed a video last week ⁓ about that wheels off WWF trailer race and There it is. Is it yeah, there it is. This thing is dude, I had I have I've had non racing people that didn't listen to last week's podcast go, Hey, is this a real thing? Jim Gardner: What do you mean, is that it? Slim Pushins: So since since we brought it up, I've gotten phone calls. I've got somebody who's willing to not only donate the truck and build a trailer for this, they'll drive the pace truck. And then I started getting phone calls about ⁓ people wanting in on it. This is something we need to make happen. The the push in the cushion first annual wheels off. Trailer race. Jim Gardner: First of all, look I I Corby Scherb: Here we go. Here we go. Slim Pushins: It's Jim Gardner: Don't call it no no no no hang on I'm gonna just replay it. Don't call it first annual. That doesn't make any sense. Inaugural. No. Don't say first annual. If if there's a second one, then you can call it the second annual. That's one of my bigger pet peeves of ⁓ Slim Pushins: It's gonna be first Daniel. Corby Scherb: Okay, I thought we was going a different route than that. Slim Pushins: First first inaugural. Corby Scherb: Inaugural. Kerbo as a whole. Jim Gardner: Yeah. ⁓ no, of just ev event promoting inaugural like first annual is a terrible, terrible way to say it. ⁓ go on and discuss I look if there's a sprint car race before this, I'll go watch it, but I'm kind of a sprint car snob. I can't do that guy in that black car about right front of that thing in the fence. So hard bro, like every time I watch this, I'm this eighty eight car, first of all, he gets dumped there. Slim Pushins: Okay. Roll that back. Let's just watch. Let's just watch the ADA. Alright, he gets turned. Jim Gardner: He's rolling the top, biding his time. Thanks Slim Pushins: Like it is no holds barred. All right, where's the eighty eight go? He gets dumped he gets dumped by a minion by the minion truck. Jim Gardner: Thinks he's got a shot at, gets dumped, grabs a gear. Corby Scherb: That guy that's driving the trailer trucks just beat to death. Slim Pushins: Alright, let's watch the eighty eight. He's just waiting for his turn. He's like this the minion that's the minion's got no chance. So he pit maneuvers this guy straight into the wall. Jim Gardner: And here comes the A again. He's in here. He sees he sees it ending and he's got it floored here now. I think it would be awesome. I don't know if you could pull it off at a dirt track around here. Corby Scherb: He's just gonna send her right here. Slim Pushins: Then he slows down. He slows down. I think he slows down just to ⁓ like contemplating all of life's decisions at that point. He's like, Man, that wall came quick. Jim Gardner: Mm. Yeah. So ⁓ I think Kennedale's got their trailer race this weekend. So ⁓ I I've never been to the trailer race, seen the trailer race. ⁓ I don't even know what they do. Slim Pushins: What's up? Brainley. Corby Scherb: Yeah. Slim Pushins: Steven Bradley's on all the way from ⁓ Vernon, Texas. Where'd this go? Hold on. Mike said Kenneth Ellis, Kenneth Ellis trailer race. This is a totally different type of trailer race. Jim Gardner: ⁓ but I don't know how much Yeah. ⁓ anyway, so I maybe maybe the tracks can take a a trailer dragon ramps around a couple of times. I don't know. Slim Pushins: Not that not that those aren't fun. Listen, listen, mister Bubkill, we've got this figured out. Yes. Mr Funsponge, we've got it figured out. We're gonna build sleds or something. It's happening. Corby Scherb: I I can I can make the ramps go across the dirt, I promise. Jim Gardner: Yeah. Well yeah. All right. Well, you get to work on promoting that. Slim Pushins: All right, Corby, what's next? What's next on the agenda for Jim to shit on? I'll promote it. It doesn't sound like we have to promote it. All we did was talk about it and I started getting phone calls. Corby Scherb: What's next for Jim to to to shit on? Jim the last time I talked to Jim about me racing, Jim told me just to put my helmet on the shelf. I'm done. You're washed up. You're out of there. Jim Gardner: That is not true at all. That is not true. I told you, I've told all your brothers, anytime you want to race, you have a car that is much more capable than anybody that's been driving it all year. Sitting right over there ready to rip. Corby Scherb: I'm not I'm not driving your stuff. No, that's for you. I'm there to help you. I I spend countless hours at the track helping you and working on your car whenever you're racing. That's what I do. Slim Pushins: Why isn't that imminent? Why isn't that invitation extended to Slim? Jim Gardner: ⁓ so did you know like there is a car for sale that I think I think Slim could hot lap. ⁓ yeah, what we could have to talk to Wilson about it. I have inquired. ⁓ I would love to watch you hot lap a sprint car. Slim Pushins: Here we go. This is gonna be awesome. Look at him choosing his words very, very carefully. You make. Corby Scherb: One hundred percent. Jim Gardner: I would love to watch Wesley McNorton hot life a sprint car. I don't know if if Sam would go for it. I I mean that invitation is always open. ⁓ I would love to see old S P behind the wheel. ⁓ if we can make that happen. So Slim Pushins: Not in that one. Not in that scene. Corby Scherb: I I think he's got it he has to. He has to at least Slim Pushins: Is that Jim, is that your fire suit hanging up on the ready? Just just chilling? Just on the Jim Gardner: Yeah, I s I I stay ready, so I don't have to get ready. ⁓ Yeah, it's yeah, it's just hanging drying on the ⁓ garage door. Corby Scherb: ⁓ dick. Here we go. You there we go. Slim Pushins: Look at that. Just just ready. No stench. Pressed. Corby Scherb: Nothing nothing more that there is nothing more that says I will fight you on the spot than open up the garage door, fire suit hanging. Jim Gardner: Yeah, right. ⁓ Corby Scherb: We can put big chief in one. We could do that. Jim Gardner: Yeah. Mike Ferrari, you ever driven a sprint car? Slim Pushins: ⁓ big chief. Headdress, headdress, just blowing in the wind. I think we ought to. What do you say, Jim? Jim Gardner: Get see if Mike Ferrari wants to get in the car. Slim Pushins: Then let us take pictures. Jim Gardner: Go yeah, exactly. I'll take the ⁓ the old cannon for a spin. Corby Scherb: You know Slim Pushins: I bet it'd be easier for him to drive a spring car than you to learn how to use a cannon. Jim Gardner: The me to get a clear picture of it? Probably. Slim Pushins: Corby, ⁓ how's your neighbor's backyard? Mike said no. Two bo capital letters no. Jim Gardner: Wait You know you've not been in one or no you don't want to drive one? Corby Scherb: There's a difference. Slim Pushins: Probably probably know you're not gonna touch my camera. Jim Gardner: Right. Yeah. Slim Pushins: Corby, how's the neighbor doing? ⁓ the weed eating neighbor. Corby Scherb: Weed in the backyard, ⁓ that's a that's a real aggressive move. ⁓ the whole thing. The whole thing is weed it now. Jim Gardner: Ha Slim Pushins: fully fully containment suit everything again. Corby Scherb: One hundred percent that like I'm talking like hood, mask, weeded the whole backyard. Didn't touch the front. Not worried about that. Slim Pushins: Like zero percent chance she she when she's done she's gonna be itchy from grass. Jim Gardner: Yeah. Corby Scherb: I'll y d I mean just let go and let God. I I I'm not sure where why this took place, but it happened. Jim Gardner: Yeah. Slim Pushins: ⁓ what else? Red flag shenanigans. We had a couple of red flags. So I put on my notes, red flag shenanigans. That was always funer, Corby and I. Jim not so much. During a red flag, Jim's still in the zone. Corby needs to be broken from the zone. Jim Gardner: Yeah, Mike. Corby Scherb: ⁓ you know, there's there's people that say that you're not supposed to be able to like pull up behind the driver and yell at him and talk to them and like and I'm not yelling like I wanna just take my mind off of what's happening right now and we can talk about you can give me hand signals on how I'm doing on the track. I just wanna talk and be normal for a second. It's it's nine hundred degrees outside. I'm in a fire suit, I'm sitting behind a motor that wait that is ⁓ you know, two hundred, three hundred, six hundred degrees. I don't want to talk about sitting in this race car. The headers coming out right there. Don't don't don't roll your eyes like that. The headers right there. I I could care less to talk about anything race car related. Jim Gardner: If you if you If you touch the headers, yeah, they're six hundred degrees, but the ambient around it Corby Scherb: I I get ya, but I'm sitting there. The ambient the ambient around it. I'm saying, I'm sitting down inside of a sprint car in a fire suit with no mechs, can't breathe with my helmet on. And I know that I can't take my helmet off. I can't get undressed because you can't do the hot and cold stuff. Here we go, Jim. Here we go. Can't do the hot and cold. You gotta keep your fire suit on all night. Build up a sweat. Keep yourself cool. Slim Pushins: They're emitting his point is that they're admitting heat. Corby Scherb: I might need a beef jerky and a stick of cheese. That'll work. Slim Pushins: Jim, did you get any video from Saturday night when Corby took my four-wheeler out to pop Uyghur off during that red? And when I looked over there, I he was signing autographs on the front stretch. He was talking to fan. I saw him taking pictures. Yeah, is that Corby Sherb? Yeah. Cause cause Lil Uyghur, little Uyghurs stopped on like literally right there at at track entry. Jim Gardner: Twenty forty four champion? Sure. Well, I do know that Yeah, he couldn't have been closer to a track official. Yeah. He couldn't have been closer to a track official. Corby Scherb: He won't make that mistake again, I promise. Slim Pushins: Yeah. I'd rather have I'd rather have people that I know like giving me shit and yelling at me on the back stretch from the other side of the fence than random people on the front stretch. Hey biggin! Corby Scherb: Mm-hmm. Jim Gardner: Yeah. ⁓ no, during that whole red something was going on with Stubblefield's car. ⁓ I think the shift linkage broke when he pulled it out of gear. And so they were trying to figure that out. And ⁓ I think a track worker No, I th I I think the actual cable just ⁓ the lever broke or something. And so the they rocked it back and forth and I think a track worker shimmied it into gear just by hand. Slim Pushins: I didn't see him touch anything. I didn't see him get under it as they were. Jim Gardner: Or something. I don't know how, but it then it broke in ⁓ across the scales again. So yeah. ⁓ when I I just talked to Junior briefly after the race and he Yeah, something's 'cause he was looking at it like it was all jammed up or the the quick disconnect. Slim Pushins: Did it really? How do you look out like that? How do you have a break like that and still dominate a race? Jim Gardner: When when you have it going on, you got it going on. Like it's just you gotta when the good when when when it's going well, man, it you f you find breaks, you you s you start drawing well, like you know, y you decide to shoot the middle and the guy misses the bottom and the guy kinda trips up on top and you know, it's just when it's going right, it's going right. There's really no ⁓ Slim Pushins: Well, Corby never had it going on then because Ryan Pearson lives up in the Midwest. I'm gonna say Ohio, but I don't know that for sure. ⁓ and I think he's got his own podcast. ⁓ but he's he's ⁓ he he makes a lot of comments and stuff. I love it. For a guy that has no idea who we are or anybody that we're talking to. Jim Gardner: Yeah. ⁓ yeah. We appreciate you listening, Ryan. Thanks. Slim Pushins: This is how we always are, Ryan. He's like, You guys just bag on each other and I was like, Well, the truth is they just bag on me and I just take it. Jim Gardner: Yeah. Well, that's true. That's why we couldn't go yesterday whenever Corby was out, 'cause Kerbo and I actually really don't like each other that much at all, so Slim Pushins: Mm mm. It's like ⁓ like one of those music groups that can't get along but they still record songs. Jim Gardner: There's too much tension. Yeah. Yeah. Well Smoky, my cat, is meowing at me looking like he's gonna jump up on me again. He's pissed. Yep. Yeah. So we are on the opposite end of the spectrum. We can't get out of our own way, and then when we actually do ⁓ figure it out, we're illegal. So but don't worry, Justin, I got us ready to go. Slim Pushins: They said when it's going and when it gets going, you get DQ'd. Jim Gardner: Right here. See you tomorrow. Slim Pushins: Jim comes with props. Jim Gardner: That's right. Corby Scherb: I mean I I can say this, I've I've never been disqualified. Slim Pushins: Brantley said he has limited knowledge but the show's hilarious. We appreciate that. Corby Scherb: I'll wait, Jim. Jim Gardner: You you've not been de q, yeah, I've been de queued a couple of times. Slim Pushins: We've never been DQ'd, Corby. We were never liked. Corby Scherb: Never. Never. Slim Pushins: Hold on. Look at Jim straining. Like I'm not gonna say you're wrong. I just that's a fact that I didn't know Log what about Logan? Corby Scherb: Nope. Nope. Nope, not from aggressive driving. I've had I've had warnings given to me. Slim Pushins: What about Logan? Corby Scherb: The fifty seven aggressive driving calls. Fifty seven minimum. Couple light. Couple light. ⁓ spinning his tires. Waco. Jim Gardner: That's not disqualified. Slim Pushins: Waco Waco comes to mind first. That was a chip debacle. Corby Scherb: 'Cause c cause the wing slider pin came out. Jim Gardner: Yeah. ⁓ Lucas almost got DQ'd at Ardmore when he won. ⁓ for like his his receiver turned off or something and they were trying to get him lined up and or he and he wasn't paying attention or something and they like were this close to taking the win away from him. ⁓ Corby Scherb: Mm. Yeah. I don't remember. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Yep. Mm-hmm. Jim Gardner: Who that was Logan who got DQ'd at Waco, right? Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. Corby Scherb: Yeah, one hundred percent. He was spinning his tires, the wing slider fell out and he knew once it rocked forward that he was gonna be cooked for a couple of laps, so he was trying to knock the wing back. Jim Gardner: Yeah. That's right. Slim Pushins: Was that the race that was that the race that we had to mark out Corby Scherb: If if if Logan could have figured out how to unclip his or he he rare he wore the tie like the the knotted armor strands, if he could have figured out how to unknot the armor strands to push his wing back, he would have just done that. Slim Pushins: Was that the race that that we had to mark out Logan's name on that big check and put Jeff's name? Corby Scherb: No, that was that was that was Jeb at ⁓ Boyd. We marked out Jeb's name to give it to Logan. Yeah. Yeah. Jim Gardner: Yeah, that's right. That's right. ⁓ Slim Pushins: That check that check was still hanging in the shop. Jim Gardner: I think either that Waco win hat or that Waco big check is was still in the shop. We never gave it back. Yeah. Yeah, that's right. Corby Scherb: Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yep. No, it was ours. We're taking it home. Slim Pushins: Who in who ended up with that win? Do you remember Corey? In Waco. Jim Gardner: It wasn't Corby. Corby was running second during that yellow and then somehow finished the race fourteenth. Corby Scherb: Yeah, I don't know. Slim Pushins: Man, he was good at that stuff. Jim Gardner: Dude, I I I never had to talk Corby off the ledge more than that night 'cause he I thought he was just gonna wide open throttle it into the bridge down there in turn one. Corby Scherb: ⁓ so mad. ⁓ it was mad. It was just it was one of those deals, man, it's the it's the Delaware double file and I I don't agree with it and I I felt like the first restart I chose to pick on the bottom And I shouldn't have, and I knew I was faster than Logan and it was another one of those nights that I was trying to outsmart the situation when I shouldn't have. And then ⁓ we had another caution, d another double Delaware, and I got forced to the bottom this time because the people on the outside wouldn't move. And then we got swallowed bad and I was livid. It happens, ⁓ man, and I I think that ⁓ I'm I'm a super ⁓ calm guy, but ⁓ Pat very passionate about ⁓ Jim Gardner: Yeah. Yeah, it was it was Corby Scherb: being on the racetrack and as a we we talked about the the red flag stuff. I d I don't wanna be in that moment but during the race moments I'm very passionate about being there and being there for one reason as to win races and you know, beat people like Chase Brewer. I'm sure he's listening and like to I like I like to I like to rattle up Chase some. Slim Pushins: Where were we? He cleared his schedule yesterday, huh? Jim Gardner: Yeah. Slim Pushins: Where were we the night that you got out of the car all steamed and then they threw a mic in your face? Corby Scherb: Rocket. That was that rocket. Slim Pushins: You Jim, were you there? Corby Scherb: He was probably racing that night. Jim Gardner: Maybe, yeah. I was probably back there in thirteenth, hanging on for dear life. Slim Pushins: He got all steamed. He got out he got out yelling at everybody that he could. And then all of a sudden that mic was in his face and he turned into a different guy. Corby Scherb: ⁓ man, the fans don't need to know that stuff. Like I said, they're there for one reason, that's to see one crashes and see good racing and I just feel like fair is fair and I I try to keep my mouth shut, especially to officials, until I feel that it's necessary. But Slim Pushins: The old TSS days we used to we used to play we used to bet. We used to play a game called Who's Gonna Bitch at West tonight? ⁓ West Cranfell was the what you raise it Ardmore was your night? Jim Gardner: No, I mean most nights on mine. ⁓ yeah. I was pretty frustrated about i just like you know, we were talking about not wanting to you know, working on cars and not wanting see you know, see Justin or or Corby get hurt and and Corby's now, you know, helping Braxton, he's now kinda taking on this ⁓ this presence of ⁓ taking care of stuff and he was yelling at Braxton because of a couple bolts were loose last week. Slim Pushins: You didn't really yell at him then. mentor. Jim Gardner: And I'm sitting there thinking, like, hey, ⁓ the shoe is on the other table, which is turned, ⁓ you know, because Mr. King of Leaving Bolts loose. But I ⁓ I I took our DQ personally because it was my fault. And but you know, again, if I got DQ'd in my car because the wing was too far forward, it you know, ⁓ no big deal. But you know, to to have it taken away from from Justin, my buddy who Corby Scherb: I had stuff to do. Jim Gardner: entrusted me to take care of his stuff, ⁓ was embarrassing and I just kinda took it a little too personally. So ⁓ it wasn't Wes's fault by any stretch. So ⁓ anyway. It was all cool. I called him. I apologized last week. He's fine. But ⁓ Corby Scherb: I was the same man, you know, like ⁓ you know, me and me and me and Rick have had words a couple of different times and and it wasn't because Rick was wrong, you know, like I say, the the probably the hardest job to do is to enforce the rules. ⁓ the certain people and and ⁓ there's certain people like me, like I said, like I I don't I try not to open my mouth until it's time to open my mouth and there's been times that me and Rick have had words, ⁓ the same like Kerba's talking about the r Jim Gardner: ⁓ yeah. Slim Pushins: He's a big fan of the show. Corby Scherb: ⁓ the same, like Kerbo talked about ⁓ Rocket and Wes is the one who told me to let it go, that he saw it too, and we'll talk about it later. Sometimes that's all you need is a racer or yeah, a customer. They they just wanna talk to someone. They they wanna know that ⁓ I was mad and I just wanted to know someone was hearing me in that moment. Slim Pushins: Well, we also have to have a driver that buys into ⁓ our opinion in the moment. And you were always that guy that at least listened to reason no matter how upset you were. ⁓ Jim Gardner: Yeah. Corby Scherb: For sure. For sure. If you had a good yeah, like I said, I I just wanna why did this happen? That's that's how I would try to start the conversation when anything like that happened. The same the Abilene double Delaware restart with three laps to go. Why? Why did that happen? Slim Pushins: Well, that night you weren't gonna accept whatever the answer was. So Where's ⁓ Jim, what's where's the next ⁓ where's the next corndog review? Corby Scherb: Ardmore, he's gotta do it Ardmore. Solo mission. Jim Gardner: I don't think I don't think Ardmore's got corn dogs, which is a shame. ⁓ how sad. I don't know. Are you gonna get some Yeah. Ooh. ⁓ that that was ⁓ my wife asked me what I wanted for Father's Day on Sunday. I was like skyline and she hates it. She goes, No. And was like, I thought it was my day. ⁓ so ⁓ yeah.

Slim Pushins: You used up your day on Father's Day. You used up your token. Jim Gardner: Yeah, exactly. So no, we'll see. we'll see. That we're doing a big family reunion, fourth of July party up there. I think I think they actually do like a big crawfish boil, which is weird. ⁓ 'cause that's a down south thing and not a Canton, Ohio thing. ⁓ but ⁓ yeah, we might do a live review over Fourth of July weekend. ⁓ you guys should definitely do some ⁓ tractor pulling review. ⁓ Content this week. Yeah. Yeah. Take ⁓ get the pushing gals to go interview some drivers. Corby Scherb: One hundred percent on the garden tractors, one hundred percent. Slim Pushins: We do. You guys have an open invite to Wayne County Speedway if you're ever in Ohio. Jim, I know you're probably busy visiting family. You just messed you just discombobulated the shit out. You had all these family things lined up. Now you've tossed racing into it. Jim Gardner: If it now I'm gonna go look up the Wayne County, My my Italian wife would be so pissed. ⁓ Slim Pushins: He said they don't w Wayne ⁓ Wayne County doesn't have ⁓ we were just talking about Wayne County. Something happened at Wayne County. Jim Gardner: Wayne County put on two bangers of Ohio Sprint Speed Week races last week. Yeah. Slim Pushins: Maybe that's what it was. He said they don't have corn dogs up there. Ryan, what do they have? What do we need to Corby Scherb: Yeah, sausage and sauerkraut? Slim Pushins: What do they have? What needs to be reviewed up there, Ryan? Jim Gardner: Probably. Corby Scherb: Yeah. Slim Pushins: Where's where's I'm waiting on I'm waiting on Wesley's comment to be populated so that I can throw it up here. Jim Gardner: You know, eight. What's Wayne County got going on next week? They got a fourth of J Ooh, O V S C A sprints on Saturday, July fourth. I wonder if I can sell the misses. Slim Pushins: Good and he said they have good cheeseburgers. That's a broad statement. Like a cheese like cheeseburgers. Jim Gardner: Okay. Slim Pushins: Jim, look at him looking at his schedule. Jim Gardner: Hang on, I'm gonna I'm gonna get Corby Scherb: I couldn't tell you the last time I ate racetrack food. I could not tell you. Jim Gardner: See, you're not even supporting the races. That's how they that's how they make ends meet, man. Slim Pushins: I don't eat racetrack food either. Ironically. I know that's gonna be hard for a lot of people. A lot of people I don't I Corby Scherb: I bring a protein bar and I'll snack on that. Jim Gardner: I'd beg to differ somehow all those corn dogs disappeared in the Uyghur trailer. Corby Scherb: Hmm. Mm. Mm mm mm mm. Slim Pushins: No, I I'm my point is shut up, Corby. My point is I don't ever go to the concession stand at racetrack. I like yeah, I did consume I did consume more corn dogs than one one ⁓ I'll yeah. I loved it. I loved it when Brooklyn talks people into buying her buying her food because she only eat none of it. It's it's like it's like the high. Corby Scherb: Or the rest of Brooklyn's nachos? 'Cause she ain't gonna eat it, that's why I don't buy it. Jim Gardner: Ugh. Corby Scherb: Diana Weager is so sweet, she's like, I'll get Brooklyn, whatever s don't don't even don't even worry about it. Just just give her a little bit of candy and some chips. She'll be fine. Jim Gardner: Speaking of Diana Weager, ⁓ I'm not a big honey guy, but that honey that honey is now a daily staple ⁓ in the morning on some toast and some coffee. So ⁓ I think I'm about out of that. Here is my big moral dilemma is I'm supposed to have family time next week. Slim Pushins: ⁓ you got some. Corby Scherb: On point. On point. Jim Gardner: But Wayne County Speedway is only thirty three minutes from my sister in law's house. Slim Pushins: I need to get Mike some meatballs, don't I, Jim? Jim Gardner: Yes. Yes. Mike, we're gonna invite you over for sauce. We probably have it once a month. Corby Scherb: What about tabs? Slim Pushins: That's a bold statement too. Corby Scherb: What about tabs? Y'all wanna come over some for some tablitas sometime or? Jim Gardner: I haven't no, I don't want to. You had ten years to invite me over for tab Alitas. I slept more nights in that shop by myself, probably while you and Lucas were having tabs three miles away. Slim Pushins: You've never invited us, not one time. On a creepy crawler. It's not three miles. Jim Gardner: I don't want your invitation anymore. It's not even three miles, it's three miles round trip.
