• 2:12
  Speaker 2: when you guys are going this fast on Sundays Mondays,
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: you're driving around you know the pedestrian roads, how difficult
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: is it for you not to kind of get going?
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: For me, it's it's not too bad. Because obviously you
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: have to obey the speed laws or not. It's the
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: last thing you want to do is get pulled over.
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: But what I struggle with is people taking their sweet
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: time getting from point A to point BAH. So like
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: I'm always trying to get to If I'm going to
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: his house, he lives seven minutes away, like I'm trying
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: to get there in five. You know what I'm saying
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: is legally, yes, Like I'm trying to time the light
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: if I have to take a short cut through a
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: through a public's parking lot or whatnot, I'm I'm doing it.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, take the game of manipulating system.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Are working on your start by when the red like
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: goes green, there staring at the Yeah, the reaction times
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: working on that, Oh that's one.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah again, not a lot. They kind of go and
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: then there's a pace car. The pace car peels off
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: and and they're off and they're already driving at a
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: certain speed limit.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: That's on me.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: I'll plays got to keep it in your bag.
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: But I mean it goes back to your action time
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: that like I mentioned, So, yes, you're always working on that.
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: When I see it turned green, I'm going yeah, So you're.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Always on your craft. Yeah, obviously you you race for
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Michael George team, so I know you get a chipload
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: of questions about what Michael George. Like, we're not here
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: to ask you about that if you could give it,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: but a couple of.
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: Like racing for Michael Jordian, we talked, I will go
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: to dinner. I'll get your question a second. We'll go
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: to dinner and people will come up, like fans a
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: come up and and you know, I hate to bug you,
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: but anyway, yeah, right there. Uh no, it's just it's
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: been awesome. It's been six years since the inception of
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: twenty three eleven, and uh we've had a lot of
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: fun along the way, a lot of growing pains, a
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: lot of success stories. So uh, just proud to play
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: a small part, you know, from a team that that
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: started out as as a rumor.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: That's how our team started. It was some some news
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: article I put that that, uh, Denny Hamlin and Michael
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: Jordan were starting a race team, and it wasn't even true.
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: And Dinny had sent the idea to MJ and and
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: MJ was like, you got my number if you want
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: to make it true. So that's that's how it all began.
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: I was, Yeah, I was tabbed to be the first driver,
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: so it's uh, it's been pretty special.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: That's yeah.
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: And also he walks by the end of the pit
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: and you're just like, yo, that's one of the goats
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: of all goats. How is it so? Denny Hamlin he's
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: also on the team, but he's you have a bit
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: of a tropic thunder situation taking place, right, Yeah, you
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: have the owner allowed to pass him and beat it. Yeah,
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: how does so? You guys usually a race team of
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: three correct, yes, and then everyone sometimes. So let's say
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: we're one and two and it's you and Hamlin. You
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: guys are kind of sitting there. There's about five laps left,
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: is there like a.
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: Uh pull up the replay from Kansas twenty twenty five
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: like this.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: We're already talking shit.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So Danny's pretty good about you beating his ass
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: on the track.
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: You'll see, uh yeah, that top one there you go? Yeah,
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: that one, the third link, third link? Yeah. Yeah, So
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: I'm leading, my teammate is third starting behind me, and
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: then Denny is sixth. So you could probably you probably
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: go like a third of the way. Yeah, you can
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: skip through this part. There you go, so you're leading,
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: there you go. There it is, this is last time.
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: We just took the white flag. I'm leading right now, Haling.
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: Denny is second right here.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: Okay, he's high.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Did you been the knee there? Okay, you didn't bend.
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: The knee fenced, just put me right on the fence.
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: And they didn't win the race?
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: What do you Okay? So what is the conversation like
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: when you guys get back, you're like, hey, how'd that go?
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: How'd that go for you?
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: It went? Yeah?
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: What's the combos that emotions are obviously emotions are high.
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, of course that was you know for me,
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: that was locking ourselves into the next round of the playoffs. Uh,
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: there's my comment. I think I said douche.
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: Yeah, the amount of stars.
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I was obviously super frustrated. And then
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: you could get into the business side of things. Right,
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: it's one of his cars that he now eliminated from
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: the next round in the playoffs, So that's on him.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: So and is he kind of just like.
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: Fuck, he's right, argue never say those words.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: Oh you also damage of the car, we have to
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: pay for that. That comes out of your pocket. I
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: was supposed to make the playoffs. I'm out of the playoffs.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: You lost more money out of your pocket.
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we could have went one being my fault for
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: just being alive. Yeah.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: Sometimes, man, it sounds like you guys been in football
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: locker room the whole life head coach talk right there. Yeah,
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: that is wild.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: So I was watching Mitchie Baby, he was helping me.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: We were going through all the stuff, and we're watching
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: what was called radioactive radioactive, And you guys are on
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: your book when you're driving. What does the communication look
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: like when you obviously over headsets talking to your crew
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: chief and back and forth in there. But if there's
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: another driver who's on a different team, I see you
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: guys kind of putting the handout doing some hand signals,
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: like you're trying to turn left, stop, whatever it is
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: going to be.
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: It's usually just a middle finger, Oh is it?
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just a bird, and we rip around.
• 7:44
  Speaker 5: Probably yeah, someone you know, upset, Shit, it's a bird.
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: Sometimes you get a sarcastic thumbs up or a good
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: thumbs up. Bubba and I have shot the shocker to
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: each other for the last decade.
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: Next to each other yeah, is he is he passed
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: or I passed throughout the chak appreciate waiting for TV
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: to catch you.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: They never have at this point, I feel like they
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: have a good opportunity here now.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: In the race. Are you guys like you know, listening
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: I guess to the crew chief to where you're taking
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: all the strategies and advice that he's communicating to you.
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: I mean we talk a lot pre race about you know, situations.
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: But then like I mean, you guys know, like you
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: can have plan A or Z, but rarely you know
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: that happens, so you have to kind of audible all
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: the time, you know. So mainly I think all that
• 8:38
  Speaker 5: stuff happens like under yellow, under caution, certain time cautions.
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: You know, the true chief will change up strategy of
• 8:45
  Speaker 5: what maybe previously planned, and then there's just a conversation
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: back and forth. You know, Hey, a lot of times Jonathan,
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: my kerchief will ask me what do you think about this?
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: You know, I'm thinking that I will kind of get
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: my opinion at the end of the day. It's his call,
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: Like I'm back at one hundred percent, So it's not
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: like a constant communication. I'd say it's maybe ten percent
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: of the race.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: Are there ever times where you you agree with what
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: they're saying, but then you do your own thing based
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: off your own instinct example, it rarely happens like and
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: if it does happen, like what what goes down? What
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: goes down? As is happening, Either you prove your instinct
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: right and you're like, hey, I just made the call.
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah the moment I try not to do.
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: I mean some guys maybe are a little bit more
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: that way, but like, I trust what his plan is
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: one hundred percent. You know, if it works out, great,
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: If it doesn't, then just part of it. But I
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: will rarely go against what Jonathan's telling me as far
• 9:38
  Speaker 5: as his plan, you know, because that's he has a
• 9:41
  Speaker 5: wider scope of what's going on than I sitting behind
• 9:43
  Speaker 5: the wheel. So I don't know, I think it's somewhat
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: it's a dual effort, but he runs really eighty percent
• 9:51
  Speaker 5: of the show.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, how about for you, Bubba, Has there been a
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: time to where you made a decision on your own
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: and either it paid off where you're like, fuck, I
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: kind of learned the hard way there.
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: Not not really, so I kind of you know, there's
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: there's so much like he talked about, there's so much
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: talk pre race on the strategy side of things, and man,
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: does it rarely ever play out to how you mathed
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: it out right? No, And so I've I've taken kind
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: of a back seat, Like I hear my engineers and
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: crew chiefs talk and get a thousand foot view level
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: of kind of what to understand, what to expect. But
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: then again, you trust their word and they have all
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: the data in front of them to see, you know,
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: when we're gonna pit at this time, it should bring
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: us back out right here versus I think we need
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: to put five out five laps earlier. Well, that could
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: have put us in a way worse position. Uh, they
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: have all the data in real time that we can
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: see all those things.
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: Like if you guys ever run into instance when you're
• 10:46
  Speaker 5: playing like you're watching film, if you're prepared for this,
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: but then they show up completely different than what you expected.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah yeahs and yeah yeah, Or they tell you
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: to do something on a certain play and think in
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: your head like it's we we wait. It would be
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: way easier for me just to approach it from this place.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: But I was a guy that would just approach it
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: from the place I thought was best kind of live
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: and die by that sword a little bit.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: I wasn't.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: I wasn't the best with authority figures, you know what
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: I'm saying.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Just defensively too, Like you might get a look to
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: where you go on the sideline because you're saying, hey, guys,
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: they're ultimately ending up in this formation, the one that
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: we practiced and went over. We still need this check
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: in place. But yeah, you're kind of going on the fly.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: So when we sit here and I'm like, I'm on
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: a Southwest flight and I'm watching F one for the
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: fifteenth time, and I'm watching Brad Pitt argue with his
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: crew chief about certain types of tires. That stuff's not
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: really taking place on a NASCAR.
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: Track, Not really, I don't think. So. I didn't watch
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: the movie.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: You haven't seen the movie. It's a good movie, but
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: it's I know it's a movie.
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: I haven't watched.
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: It is like, is there like a no, I just
• 11:46
  Speaker 5: haven't seen it. It's like out of like bitterness, Yes,
• 11:50
  Speaker 5: I haven't seen the movie. How does like obviously just
• 11:59
  Speaker 5: we just clipped it.
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: We're gonna.
• 12:03
  Speaker 5: Wanted to watch to watch anything, I can't watch anything
• 12:07
  Speaker 5: besides nowadays.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: Hits that dad.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: I kind of hate that dad though. He makes us
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: all look terrible, Like how do you have that much
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: time to be the best dad? And then you realize
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: episodes ten minutes, like I can do ten minutes a day.

  Speaker 1: Anybody on Daniel Tiger?
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: No, yeah, you guys are on that.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Daniel Tiger's good, little bear old school that's what
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: about bears good?
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: Uh? Right? When you're driving for a company like Penske,
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: which is like kind of one of the top. They've
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: been around forever, they own multiple I think they on
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: f one team as well, Like they're kind of all

• 12:42

  Speaker 2: We are the game.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: I mean it's healthy though, Like you have your teams
• 12:56
  Speaker 5: that have been around for a long time like Team Penske, Hendrick,
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: Joe Gibb and like you know, newer teams coming in
• 13:02
  Speaker 5: like twenty three eleven, Expire track House, Like it's it's
• 13:07

  Speaker 2: place now Like when I was a rookie, they shaved
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: my head, they covered me a mustard and catch up.
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: I had code Reddit a couple of times.
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: You guys don't really know.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: You guys don't do stuff like that.

  Speaker 4: I haven't done that.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: Maybe we should start to implement I guess, so a
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: little bit of hazing and I guess so yeah.
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: Maybe the rookie drivers sometimes go through it, but not
• 13:46
  Speaker 5: like rookie teams.
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, rookie drivers most likely. Yeah, but now I
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: write so soft nowadays.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: How was it for you guys when you were rookies.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: Was there like any initiation type of things that had
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: to happen?
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: Not?
• 13:59
  Speaker 5: It was more of like like a on track yeah,
• 14:02
  Speaker 5: respect level of vets, you know, kind of the same thing.
• 14:05
  Speaker 5: I'm guessing and not heard yeah, you know, like I
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: don't know, not being don't want to overstep, and then
• 14:13
  Speaker 5: you get a bad rep like oh, this hot hot
• 14:15
  Speaker 5: shit thinks he's you know, kind of come in here
• 14:18
  Speaker 5: and do our jobs better than us, Like it's I was.
• 14:22
  Speaker 5: You kind of give a lot when you come in
• 14:24
  Speaker 5: and then you try to just gain the respect at
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: everybody when.
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: You when you're like a young gun coming up in
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: the ranks. Though, what is like the line that you
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: could explain to somebody that doesn't know a whole lot
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: about Nascar of like when to go for something or
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: when to kind of like bend the knee and let
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: the let the vet have the lane or the track
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: or whatever it is. Is there like a I guess
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: an unspoken rule that takes place in Nascar with how
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: to kind of when you're going through, you know, five
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: six hundred laps and you know there's a long day
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: thing and you're in lap twenty and this vet's coming
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: up on you, like is there like all right, we'll
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: give him this for now, but we'll come back later.
• 14:59
  Speaker 5: I wouldn't say yeah, yeah, that's perfect. Yeah, I don't
• 15:05
  Speaker 5: well this is so I would never.
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: This is this is a kid that doesn't care what
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: the writ.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll be honest, boy. It's like I'm kind of
• 15:15

  Speaker 2: bit of a shit stir.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 15:30
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't think as a rookie like you'd ever
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: give anything, but you might just give like a little
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: bit more room to the bet, you know, show a
• 15:36
  Speaker 5: little respect like you'd never be like, oh yeah, go ahead,

  Speaker 4: It's kind of just a goober. Yeah, not really, like
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: I mean, he's probably a nice kid, but he's just
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: kind of like, uh, he's a super He doesn't interact
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: with any of the drivers, like he's just to himself.
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: All he does is I racing and yeah and goes
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: goes and races on the weekends.
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: Like they we're old now. I mean, these kids are
• 16:17
  Speaker 5: like ten years younger than I know. We're like to
• 16:19

• 16:39
  Speaker 2: that tell me to get there? Who Yeah, Okay, let's
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: just play a game. Nobody watches the show. It's brand new.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: If you had to get in the ring with somebody
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: in NASCAR, would this be your first choice?
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: Uh?
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: I mean he's got height, so I don't know if
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: he knows how to use it.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but you get hey, you know what, you have
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: that little bit of salt on that beard, you know
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: that little bit of dat. Yeah, a little bit of
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: a little versatility taking place.
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a totally totally living Jesus Christ, totally different
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: looking kid.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. Now is there like, uh, but but do
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: you have any rivalries or beefs out there?
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: Sounds like it's this.
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: Kid depends on the week. We had a little bit.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: It does feel like that it has had a.
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: Tiff a little a couple of weeks ago, a little
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: dust up. Yeah, but it was it was settled. He
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: didn't do anything wrong. I was just I just lost
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: my damn mind for running so bad. I would say. No,
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: it kind of goes week by week.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because when Ryan came on a couple of years ago,
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: back in twenty twenty three, you didn't really have like
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: a B four rivalry, and you kind of just alluded
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: to Chase and Bubba, like what is your guys is like,
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: you guys coming into the sport kind of together around
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: what ten years old? What's it been like for you
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: guys side by side throughout the entire process.
• 18:00
  Speaker 5: I don't think we would have thought twenty plus years ago,
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: wou'd be where we're at. We're just kind of damn
• 18:05
  Speaker 5: sure to me having fun and you know, it didn't
• 18:08
  Speaker 5: really doesn't really get serious until like you're a teenager,
• 18:11
  Speaker 5: you know, I think when you're ten years old or
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: something like that, it's just something fun to do with
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: your friends and goofing off half the time. And then yeah,
• 18:19
  Speaker 5: I just we just, honestly, us three got really lucky
• 18:21
  Speaker 5: that our career pass kind of just lined up and
• 18:23
  Speaker 5: we got opportunities and we're able to you know, do
• 18:27
  Speaker 5: well on those opportunities we were given and wind up
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: where we are now. It's honestly, it's couldn't script it
• 18:32
  Speaker 5: any better. Yeah, we're all pretty fucking fortunate.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: When did you guys feel like it got competitive with
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: you two, because.
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: You're obviously both for a while, it's always been competitive, Yeah,
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: like when we ran back when we were twelve years old. Yeah, yeah,
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: when we ran you know, ben Lero's and legend cars.
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: When we got to the trucks though, in twenty thirteen
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: and fourteen, that's when that's when it picked up, because
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: you know, that was your buddy in another truck and
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: you all were racing for twenty two races out of
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: the year, like you wanted to beat each other, and
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: we had a lot of races together that were tough.
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: I remember, uh, Kentucky twenty thirteen. It was my first
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: time I I wrecked him and I was trying to
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: pass him and drove into the cornerway too fast and
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: spun out. And you remember that that was Kentucky. Yeah,
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: it's Kentucky in the turn three. Yeah. White Michigan.
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, a couple of what happened happened in Michigan.
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I didn't really. My my radios went down. Yeah,
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: that's what legitimate radios went down, and I just turned
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: left because I was focus on the guy in front
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: of me. He was underneath me. I didn't know it,
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: and so I was like, I'm going to pass this
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: guy and shot him to the inside the wall lap
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: one lapt half lap half Yeah, and he he was there.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: We had no comms.
• 19:50
  Speaker 5: Cost me the championship that year, No, no, I mean,
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: if you do the math, take it back on it.
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah. I had the championship until I blew up in Texas. Yeah.
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: I didn't cause that.
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: Something of horseshoes at handgerd Ad situation. However, Yeah, if
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: you don't get run in that first lap, you're thinking,
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: I'm taking home the cake here.
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: This is this is like a race number twelve years later.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: How many races are we talking to the truck Series.
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: Twenty at that point? Twenty two, twenty two? Okay, okay,
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: no shot.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: I mean that's quarter of the way, that's a quarter
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: the way you put in a good spot, right, Yeah.
• 20:27
  Speaker 5: Yeah, we have had some run ins, but most of them, really,
• 20:30
  Speaker 5: all of them are just accidental. Sit doesn't matter if
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: your friends or worst enemies, you're going to like have
• 20:36
  Speaker 5: run ins with each other.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: Yes, what it is you guys?
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: So you right? You said accidental Bubba, You said Tom's
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: went out first lap, didn't know he was there? Has
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: it ever been? Have you ever intentionally got your boy?
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: No? No, intentionally No, I don't think so.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: Do you know for do you know when someone intentionally
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: tried to get you?
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah? I mean I seen it this weekend. I was
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: damaged and off the off the pace and the seven.
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: Soerez who won like just ran a J like like
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: a dickhead, and AJ drove it wide open into one
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: so fucking far he bottomed out and went all the
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: way to the wall, like he missed. He missed, so
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: you see like his move was intentional.
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: He was trying to get the guy. He was trying to.
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: Yes, and it didn't. I was like, I thought about
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: that yesterday. I was like, man, if he would have
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: wiped him out because he was going to like you
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: could see he was seeing red and he went in
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: that corner and it was like, I'm wrecking you or
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: I'm wrecking myself. And he damned hear almost wrecked himself.
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: It was funny.
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: I was just laughing, Dude, that is crazy because we
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: so we drove the pace car a couple of weeks ago.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: We were flying flying about three in Meshville, wod it
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: up for you guys, and we're while we're doing that,
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: we're hitting what one in that area?
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: Hold on now, hold on, we were fucking scooting. I'm
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: just letting you know. Like people were like, is that
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: was that a bulleted flighting?
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: Anyway, we're ripping and we're getting close to the wall, Like,
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: at what point that's my wife calling me? At what
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: point are you comfortable with wrecking somebody or I'm gonna
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: like you're okay? We give a little nudge here, Give
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: a little nudge here, because I'm I'm on that and
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: I'm terrified even when I'm the driver. I was even
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: double terrified when I was a passenger. But you're sitting there, like,
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: at what point is it like, Oh, this is just
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: part of the game. I'm comfortable with kind of going
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: to the wall or getting on guys hitting a bumper.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: Does that take a little time?
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: Uh?
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean if this is recent, I get wiped
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: out here and let's split a second, and it all
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: depends on it all depends on a three to two one.
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: Here she goes gone, that's that wasn't well?
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: It is Ross?
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: So is an intentional who knows it's Ross?
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: Ross is the one that got you?
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but.
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: It's all I keep saying situational, right, Like there's so
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: many different scenarios, like he if he pisses me off
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: in one corner and he gets a bad round the next,
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: then do I push him all the way down the
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: straight away to where his speed is so fast in
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: the corner that he might wreck Or do I wait
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: and time the run to where I hit him dead
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: and center of the corner and just knock him out
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: of the way, like there's so many different ways to
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: get revenge or get back even it and just plays
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: out differently. That can you can make it intentional if
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: that makes sense.
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it kind of. It does kind of make sense.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: How does explain Shake and Bake in football terms?
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: That's the worst fucking movie ever?
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: Okay on this show, I'm racing.
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's just a all right, let's see what would be.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: All on before you talk about it. I want to
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: know why you hate this movie.
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: So it's just a mockery of the sport.
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: Oh, come on, is it you really think so? No?
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: One fucking shakes and banks?
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: Dog, it's because it's because the two guys kissing at
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: the end. That was enough for you to turn the
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: TV off.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: I'm going to.
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: See.
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: I can't even comment nowadays.
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we're joking around around.
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: Put in elevator music for the next second, exactly exactly.
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: It's just a mockery. But I'm trying to think of
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: a mockery of football, and there's.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: Not one, so you would never So it's it's not
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: It doesn't at all happen to where you like you
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: drift your teammates so you can catch speed and pass
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: somebody up in front of you.
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: Using a sling shot that gets engaged. Ever that pisces
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: you off. Did you ever think about trying it though?
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: Did you have ever tried it?
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: Of course?
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: Of course I want you Ryan, do you do you
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: share the same sentiment about teleaday nights.
• 25:02
  Speaker 5: You also don't really mind it, To be honest with you,
• 25:05
  Speaker 5: I thought it was a funny movie.
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: I thought it was. I don't mind it at all.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: So it's like you and your teammates in second, third
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: place and you got the front runner out there to
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: where you're trying to win this race for the squad.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: There would just never be a scenario to where you go,
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: you go shak and bake and let let third place
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: drift up to get the team a championship, but get
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: the team a win for that race.
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: Play racing. Yeah, maybe.
• 25:33
  Speaker 5: A similar version of us shaking and baking possibly, But
• 25:37
  Speaker 5: it's not like I'm talking to Legano on the radio
• 25:40
  Speaker 5: and be like, hey, Bud, we don't do that. Like
• 25:47
  Speaker 5: here's no, I can't go dial up Bubba and be
• 25:50
  Speaker 5: like shaking, bake buddy. Let's like, no.
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: That's not happening. People think that happens, but I know
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: what you're gonna say, call it. Hey, what are you
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: gonna say?
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: You know, you know right, I mean it might be
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: an opportunity to try it.
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you know.
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: It's out there. They kind of have the playbook for you.
• 26:07
  Speaker 5: I mean, drafting happens. I feel like they just kind
• 26:09
  Speaker 5: of put a shake and bake term on it and
• 26:11
  Speaker 5: they went more into it than what it actually is. Yea,
• 26:14
  Speaker 5: but I like the movie. I get a chuckle out
• 26:17
  Speaker 5: of it. I definitely think it pinned us all is
• 26:19
  Speaker 5: dumb rednecks, which which some of us might be.
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: But it didn't really bother me. I mean, is what
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: it is?
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: Is there a race, like on the schedule of all
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: your races, which one do you look at? You like, Ah,
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: this race sucks hm.
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: Hm. Texas used to be Richmond for me.
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: Texas Texas.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: We are Texas and Richmond, like Coca Cola six hundred
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: being the longest one is like, oh this one is.
• 26:45
  Speaker 5: No, that's a cool way too. Yeah, that's a super
• 26:48
  Speaker 5: cool race. Cool weekend, you know, like Memorial Day weekend
• 26:50
  Speaker 5: is obviously special. Winning that race is a super huge accomplishment,
• 26:55
  Speaker 5: Like that's one of our most prestigious races.
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: Races.
• 26:58
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Crown Jewels. So yeah, even though it's long, I mean,
• 27:03
  Speaker 5: you know what you're getting into. And but yeah, Texas
• 27:06
  Speaker 5: is uh.
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: When you guys look at these like, I guess, like,
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: how do you evaluate your strengths and weaknesses? Like I'm
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: talking to Mitchie about this, Bubba, He's Mitch's telling me like,
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: you're a great drafter, You're great in the long tracks,
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: Like when did you know that that was a strength
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: of your racing and were some things that we could
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: probably get a little bit better.
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: Uh man. I honestly watching Blaney and Logano, like the
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: Penske cars, you know, racing against them, then having the
• 27:31
  Speaker 4: meetings on Mondays talking about how how can we beat
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: the Penskes. You know, I took it, you know, watching
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: a lot of film and watching their natural instincts and
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: started making the more confident moves and it worked out.
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: And that's kind of goes back to we talked about
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: like the rookies versus the vets. When you have the
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: yellow we don't do the yellow stripe any more, which sucks,
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: but when you have the rookie stripe on the back
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: of your car, like that's like a sign, Like he's
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: a rookie, We're not going to work with them, no
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: matter how fast your car is. So I had a
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: lot of instances like that when I was a rookie
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: and our cars were pretty fast, and you would get
• 28:10
  Speaker 4: no help, Like they'd all be following you in a line,
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: and then you would go to like pass the slower car,
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: and they would go with the slower car, and it's like,
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: what the fuck are we doing? And so it took
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: a lot of time to get help on the speedways.
• 28:22
  Speaker 4: And that's what the name of the game nowadays is
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: is just who's the help behind you? Help and generate
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: those runs. And so when you continue to show consistent
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: speed and maneuverability and make the right choices, your resume
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: gets better and your respect level kind of goes higher
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: and you and it allows you to perform better.
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: Got you.
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: So it takes it takes a lot of races, a
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: lot of.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: Time to get that. You mentioned even watching film and
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: I'm sitting here, I'm like, oh do you guys these
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: guys will sit there and watch film, Like for people
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: like myself too, it's like you guys just driving circles
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: fastest car decent drivers probably gonna win you could break
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: down what goes into the stre and the execution and
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: the pressure of like a game day, race day, Like
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: do that for the fans who are tuning in where
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: even I'm sitting here and I'm like, yeah, hearing about
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: you just watching film, or the strategy that does go
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: into it is so fascinating interesting, Like if you could
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: just give us an inside look of what goes into.
• 29:20
  Speaker 5: It, well, I think it's it's like anything, like a
• 29:22
  Speaker 5: lot more goes into it than what you see at
• 29:24
  Speaker 5: face value, right Like basketball is like, oh, the guy's
• 29:27
  Speaker 5: gonna put the ball in the hoop, you know, or
• 29:29
  Speaker 5: football is like if you're on defense, that guy's got
• 29:32
  Speaker 5: to tackle that guy with the ball. It's like, well,
• 29:33
  Speaker 5: there's a lot of planning and things that go around
• 29:35
  Speaker 5: that and that goes into it behind you.
• 29:38
  Speaker 4: Know, closed doors.
• 29:40
  Speaker 5: I'd say like a normal week for US is Mondays
• 29:44
  Speaker 5: are kind of a debrief for the previous week. Tuesday's
• 29:47
  Speaker 5: are a outlook on the next weekend. Wednesdays are kind
• 29:52
  Speaker 5: of more prep work, something's changed, you know, car set
• 29:55
  Speaker 5: up finalized, and then Thursdays are a day off, and
• 29:58
  Speaker 5: then Friday's usually a travel day for US.
• 30:02
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 30:02
  Speaker 5: I mean it's I think one of the most unique
• 30:05
  Speaker 5: things about our sport is all the engineering that goes
• 30:08
  Speaker 5: in behind these race cars. Like it's not just a
• 30:10
  Speaker 5: car you go. I think people hear stock car and
• 30:12
  Speaker 5: they're like, oh, I can go buy that off the lot,
• 30:15
  Speaker 5: you know, And it's the engineering that goes into building
• 30:19
  Speaker 5: these cars, what it takes to make them go fast,
• 30:21
  Speaker 5: finding tens of a second like that's that's really tough
• 30:24
  Speaker 5: to do. And as a driver, one of the most
• 30:27
  Speaker 5: amazing things about race car drivers across the board is
• 30:31
  Speaker 5: just their feel that they have for what they're driving.
• 30:35
  Speaker 5: Like you're going all You're guessing pretty much every time
• 30:38
  Speaker 5: you go into a corner, Like I'm running in the
• 30:40
  Speaker 5: corner two and miles an hour, and I'm guessing how
• 30:43
  Speaker 5: much grip I'm going to have when I get there,
• 30:45
  Speaker 5: And that's judging off of where do I lift, what
• 30:48
  Speaker 5: is my corner speed need to be, how do I
• 30:51
  Speaker 5: need to approach this corner? And it changes every lap
• 30:53
  Speaker 5: as the tires get older, that guesswork changes. You can't
• 30:56
  Speaker 5: just do the same thing every lap, so that's always
• 30:58
  Speaker 5: backing up and it's just really you're just feeling it
• 31:01
  Speaker 5: with your ass like what's under your seat, You're feeling
• 31:04
  Speaker 5: how the car is kind of reacting to what you're doing.
• 31:07
  Speaker 5: So that's the most amazing thing to me is just
• 31:09
  Speaker 5: the feel that drivers have with what they're controlling and
• 31:12
  Speaker 5: on the verge of control and like trying to find
• 31:15
  Speaker 5: the limit without overstepping. It is like the most fascinating
• 31:19
  Speaker 5: thing when I sit back and think of racing.
• 31:22
  Speaker 4: Is unbelievable. It's like having a i.
• 31:25
  Speaker 5: Mean a quarterback having a sixth sense of what he
• 31:26
  Speaker 5: thinks the defense is going to do, you know, and
• 31:28
  Speaker 5: seeing it happen before it happens. Like it's the same
• 31:31
  Speaker 5: thing with any sport, you know, and any athlete in
• 31:34
  Speaker 5: that sport. They have kind of a sense of what
• 31:36
  Speaker 5: they think is right and and they're doing a lot
• 31:39
  Speaker 5: of you know, thoughtful guesswork on what the outcome is
• 31:44
  Speaker 5: going to be.
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: Are there like there's clearly meetings taking place with like
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: the pit crew. Are you guys involved in those meetings
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: at all? Like understanding the ins and outs of this
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: car and its totality, like even down to the small
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: little details or is it like I'm more let the
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: let the professionals be professionals. I'm going to sit back
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: and have the guests work under my ass.
• 32:03
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean we you know, it's a there's probably
• 32:06
  Speaker 5: twenty people involved in my only just my twelve team,
• 32:10
  Speaker 5: engineer's crew chiefs, mechanics, things like that pit crew. The
• 32:14
  Speaker 5: best thing that I can do is give my opinion,
• 32:16
  Speaker 5: Like me and my crew chief will sit down, my
• 32:18
  Speaker 5: engineers will sit down during the week and Okay, how
• 32:20
  Speaker 5: are we at, you know, we coming to Nashville this weekend?
• 32:22
  Speaker 5: How are we at Nashville last year? What was the
• 32:24
  Speaker 5: car build like? Is there any changes? Is there different
• 32:27
  Speaker 5: tires that we're going to run? Is the aerodynamics different?
• 32:31
  Speaker 5: You know, how could we have been better? Let's build
• 32:34
  Speaker 5: the car around that? And I can just really the
• 32:36
  Speaker 5: best thing I can do is just give my feedback
• 32:37
  Speaker 5: on what I need to make the cargo faster and
• 32:40
  Speaker 5: then they kind of use their strengths and their skills
• 32:44
  Speaker 5: to figure out what do we need to build this
• 32:46
  Speaker 5: car like to go faster. So it's it's all kind
• 32:48
  Speaker 5: of everybody is contributing to this main goal. But I'm
• 32:53
  Speaker 5: not an engineer. I can't tell you what the CG
• 32:56
  Speaker 5: should be, like, what the shock should be like like,
• 33:00
  Speaker 5: those guys are professionals there. I can just tell you, like,
• 33:02
  Speaker 5: this is what I need with the car.
• 33:03
  Speaker 4: You can't.
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: No, I'm asking what.
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: Is center gravity?
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: Cent got you?
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah question?
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean they put it on the monitor the CG.
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: I just want to make sure the boys in the back.
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: Now and the people listening.
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: And I was just gonna like, because a couple of
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: guys cgs and all that.
• 33:22
  Speaker 4: Cigarettes and guns.
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: Many yeah, a team of twelve of you. Clearly you
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: guys like the quarterback of your team. So when Christmas
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: rolls around, what kind of gifts are we getting our
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: pit crew?
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: Depends on how good the crew was that here, kind
• 33:36
  Speaker 4: of like.
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: Where you're where you're going, Do you guys get gifts?
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: Your boys?
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: Put your boys up.
• 33:41
  Speaker 4: So I like to do a big team dinner, go
• 33:46
  Speaker 4: to a nice steakhouse. This year we actually did. We
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: went to you guys play against Kirk Coleman.
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: Kirk Coleman, I don't think so.
• 33:58
  Speaker 4: Played for the Panthers back in the day. One of
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: the OG's super good dude lives in Charlotte. Went to
• 34:03
  Speaker 4: his house workers his party and they had a chef there,
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: and my wife and I were looking for ideas for
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: our team party and hire a chef. Hire that chef
• 34:13
  Speaker 4: came to the house, cooked for the whole team. So
• 34:15
  Speaker 4: just had them, you know, allow them to be themselves,
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: have a nice dinner out with everybody not talking about race,
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: and we're talking about the holidays, getting ready house, everybody
• 34:25
  Speaker 4: spending time together. So as far as gifts, you know,
• 34:28
  Speaker 4: we're not buying Rolex watches and stuff like that.
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: They'll make the gift of quality time.
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: Gift of quality time and making everybody feel like family.
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: That's one of the biggest things I stress when going
• 34:39
  Speaker 4: back to the inception of this team is making sure
• 34:41
  Speaker 4: we all never forget that we're from the same place.
• 34:45
  Speaker 4: You know, don't forget where you came from. Right, we
• 34:47
  Speaker 4: all started somewhere. Let's continue to act like family as
• 34:50
  Speaker 4: we progress through the ranks.
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: Now, Ryan, are you a gift guy? I do.
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: So.
• 34:55
  Speaker 5: We do a little holiday party for all my guys
• 34:57
  Speaker 5: and their kids, their wives and stuff like that. Past
• 35:00
  Speaker 5: year was around Christmas, and.
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: I give.
• 35:04
  Speaker 5: There was a we did like a raffle, but there
• 35:07
  Speaker 5: was enough presence that pretty much everybody got one. But
• 35:09
  Speaker 5: it was like it was almost like a what is
• 35:12
  Speaker 5: it like a white outfilf like or something like that
• 35:17
  Speaker 5: to where we kind of did that and where all
• 35:18
  Speaker 5: the kids were involved and stuff like that. So there
• 35:20
  Speaker 5: were gifts there, but it's not like here's a specific
• 35:23
  Speaker 5: gift and the same gift for everybody.
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: It's all just kind of fun.
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, do the family guy, but also gifts. Yeah, kids
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: are involved.
• 35:31
  Speaker 5: Yep, yeah, but that's all is important, Like getting people
• 35:33
  Speaker 5: away from the racetrack and what they do because it's
• 35:36
  Speaker 5: a long year stresses people out, so like whenever you can,
• 35:39
  Speaker 5: and it's important to have the families involved with it
• 35:42
  Speaker 5: too because they have to deal with their husband or
• 35:44
  Speaker 5: wife being gone working on these things. Yeah for thirty
• 35:47
  Speaker 5: eight weeks out of the year, you know, so to
• 35:49
  Speaker 5: have their kids and you know, the significant others come
• 35:52
  Speaker 5: out and enjoy it and be part of the team,
• 35:55
  Speaker 5: you know for that night, that's that's just as important,
• 35:58
  Speaker 5: you know.
• 35:58
  Speaker 4: And to that point though, like right, we're we're looked
• 36:00
  Speaker 4: at by everybody. It doesn't matter if it's you know
• 36:05
  Speaker 4: or within our own family, Like my my nephews look
• 36:08
  Speaker 4: at me as the race car driver, right and and
• 36:13
  Speaker 4: I think the more that we can show that we're humans,
• 36:15
  Speaker 4: just like the rest allows everybody to be a little
• 36:18
  Speaker 4: bit more relatable to each other, and and that promotes
• 36:21
  Speaker 4: I think definitely promotes growth, but like the desire to
• 36:26
  Speaker 4: want to work for that driver, because if the families
• 36:29
  Speaker 4: get to see that, then it makes those long days,
• 36:32
  Speaker 4: like he mentioned a little bit easier because they're going
• 36:34
  Speaker 4: to battle with somebody that they actually care about, and
• 36:37
  Speaker 4: that feels like they care about them in return. Yeah,
• 36:40
  Speaker 4: what about you guys, what was the best gift you got?
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: I was a gift receiver. I was a gift giver. Yeah,
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: the quarterback you kind of do it?
• 36:49
  Speaker 4: Is that cheap cheap?
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: Oh?
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you do white elephant with the group.
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: Every position group does something different. Usually the expected to
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: give his gift.
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: But hold on, bubby desk question. Yes, I got the
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: bank out looks a certain way. Yeah, I wanted to
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: keep it that way, right like we want to have it.
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: I got a hold portfolio. I like to move around
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: and stuff like that. I've given gifts, but yeah, it
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: was always like right around like the start of December.
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: You're looking at your quarterback. But you know, that's a
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: nice watch you have on Bubba. I like that watch
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: a lot. It's very nice. Yeah, you kind of you know,
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: put a couple of things in there. We best gift
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: I got Marcus Marriotta gave us had a guy named
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: who was It was Luke CAZy, a guy from Lukez
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: came in and massed all custom boots one time. So
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: that was that was a nice little gift. That was awesome.
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: That same year, Russell Wilson gave all his offensive linements
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: stock in Amazon. So there's a bit of a balance.
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: Marcaus was on his first contract, so yeah, he was
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: on a spring for whatever, grateful for whatever. Right gifts
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: a gift, I'm gonna appreciate it, but it's stocking Amazon.
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: Sound kind of nice right now.
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: But when you look around and compare, I mean.
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: What is comparison, it's the thief of joy. So when
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: I see Joe Burrow give his boys katans, it's like
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: katanas katan us from Japan, It's.
• 38:11
  Speaker 4: Like, damn really yeah interesting.
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: What we need to think about really is like, I
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: know your boys are watching this right now and they're thinking, yeah,
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: it's dinner's great, making everybody feel but what kind of
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: gifts can we get?
• 38:23
  Speaker 5: This is coming from the guy he just said earlier.
• 38:25
  Speaker 5: I was a gift receiver.
• 38:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I never gave gifts. He's sitting here like, y'all cheep.
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: I'm out of the game. Listen. I can go back
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: and change a lot of things about my career. I'm
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: looking at you boys, still in it right. We could give.
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: Back position group wise though, like you would have like
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: white Elephant, and then place a minimum on it. Yeah,
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: a minimum.
• 38:47
  Speaker 4: So you want championship? What did you get for your team?
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: That's right, you did question, what do you for your team?
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: It's a good question, and he's chewing on that.
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: You didn't get anything for your boys.
• 38:57
  Speaker 5: I just did the normal holiday.
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: No, yeah, that's a big in the past.
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: You know. If I could do now.
• 39:10
  Speaker 5: Another one, another one, fucking katanas from Japan all over
• 39:15
  Speaker 5: the place.
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: Well, you gotta get you gotta. We had a brainstorm,
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: a little something that doesn't have to be the whole
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: thing of this, but we should, by the end of
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: the show figure out what you guys didn't get your boys. Yeah,
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: by the end of it all.
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: How do you feel like the pressure has changed for
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: you since you've won?
• 39:29
  Speaker 5: It's I mean, it's there for sure, but I do
• 39:32
  Speaker 5: feel like it's a big weight off, Like when you
• 39:35
  Speaker 5: do get one. But I have said, like, we ran
• 39:38
  Speaker 5: second the year after in twenty four, and I think
• 39:42
  Speaker 5: like my and my team's hunger to win the second
• 39:45
  Speaker 5: was greater than the first because like you get a
• 39:48
  Speaker 5: taste of the championship and like that feeling, and it's
• 39:52
  Speaker 5: like eating the forbidden fruit and it's like you want
• 39:54
  Speaker 5: another body of that thing, dude. So that was there
• 39:57
  Speaker 5: was a bummer to come so close in twenty four
• 39:59
  Speaker 5: from go back to back, but it definitely it makes
• 40:04
  Speaker 5: you more motivated, I think. But I do feel like
• 40:06
  Speaker 5: you're a little bit.
• 40:07
  Speaker 4: More relaxed, you know, just because it's it's nice to
• 40:09
  Speaker 4: achieve that.
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: Have you ever invited bub over to your house just
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: to show him the trophy?
• 40:13
  Speaker 4: No, I'm not at all.
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: No gifts. Where do you put a trophy like that?
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: Do you get to keep it or owner keep it?
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: Is there a replica?
• 40:27
  Speaker 5: It takes place the owner gets one, I get one,
• 40:30
  Speaker 5: and then there's a replica out there. They take two
• 40:32
  Speaker 5: events and stuff. But mine right now is actually in
• 40:34
  Speaker 5: my ker chief's office.
• 40:36
  Speaker 4: I gave him.
• 40:36
  Speaker 5: My dad made a big awesome stand for it, a
• 40:39
  Speaker 5: bunch of pictures of all the guys from that year,
• 40:42
  Speaker 5: So it's sitting in his office still, so I don't
• 40:44
  Speaker 5: know what if if I'm going to get it back,
• 40:46
  Speaker 5: but I don't really.
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like a gift for now type of thing.
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: You can borrow this, Yeah.
• 40:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah, because they're part of it. And his office sits
• 40:52
  Speaker 5: like right where the car is kind of getting finished
• 40:57
  Speaker 5: up where all the guys can see it. They can
• 40:58
  Speaker 5: see into his office and that trophy, So I want
• 41:01
  Speaker 5: them to be able to share it too. I mean,
• 41:03
  Speaker 5: what am I going to do in my house? Those
• 41:05
  Speaker 5: guys were just as big a part of it as
• 41:07
  Speaker 5: I was, so they should be able to see that
• 41:09
  Speaker 5: every day, you know, and and be able to relivet
• 41:11
  Speaker 5: those memories.
• 41:12
  Speaker 4: That's his gift. He's allowing them to see.
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: Walk in here, show you what I have accomplished. Maybe
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: give yourself a little bit of motivation.
• 41:22
  Speaker 5: I can't wait to see what Bubba gets these guys
• 41:24
  Speaker 5: when he wins the championship.
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: You want to be yours, right, getting something nice like
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: jet hours Jet hours jet hours would be cool.
• 41:35
  Speaker 4: Watches don't make Yeah, we don't make NFL money to.
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: Win the races, right, You make the races. You make
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: the money than.
• 41:45
  Speaker 4: Races appreciate that.
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: How does it work with like your team and just
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: the rivalry that kind of takes place within a team,
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: like you're You're team This year was a Tyler reddick.
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: He won the first three races. Yeah, you're rocking the
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: twenty three car.
• 42:04
  Speaker 3: No.
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: Twenty three is kind of you know, Yeah, you're the
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: Golden Goose. Is there a level of like competition internally
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: that's taking place when you're seeing him hoist those big
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: as trophies that he probably gets his boys gifts for win.
• 42:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, no doubt. I think it's uh, you know, there's
• 42:20
  Speaker 4: always that competitive nature, like that's what drives me. You know,
• 42:25
  Speaker 4: people always ask like how do you continue to show up?
• 42:27
  Speaker 4: It's competing, right, you know, we could make a competition
• 42:30
  Speaker 4: out of anything. That's what that's the competitors do. And
• 42:34
  Speaker 4: so when you see your teammates win, there's a there there.
• 42:37
  Speaker 4: You can allow a bit of jealousy to set in,
• 42:39
  Speaker 4: but also you can allow more motivation than anything because
• 42:42
  Speaker 4: you see that we have the same equipment. We have
• 42:45
  Speaker 4: basically we go through the same meetings, the same processes,
• 42:48
  Speaker 4: and he's able to capitalize.
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: I'm not.
• 42:50
  Speaker 4: And you look at the wise and you try to
• 42:52
  Speaker 4: minimize those wise and you go out and get it.
• 42:54
  Speaker 4: And so yeah, you know he's he's been kicking all
• 42:58
  Speaker 4: of our asses this year. Every race he's top five,
• 43:02
  Speaker 4: and you you you think somebody is going to cut
• 43:05
  Speaker 4: down the points gap, but nope, he's right there capitalizing
• 43:08
  Speaker 4: on it. So when you're when you're on, you're on right,
• 43:11
  Speaker 4: and you can't hate it. You gotta respect it.
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: You brought up like he's top five, he's kicking How
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: do the how do the hell do these points work
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: in this game? Because I saw who's the guy that
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: won the co cole last week? What was newrez? He
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: got like fifty eight points, but then somebody else, like
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: I got in fifth place, got sixty points. How do
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: the points work in NASCAR?
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: You got it?
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: I got shot.
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: So we race.
• 43:35
  Speaker 4: We got the Cooke six hundred is is the only
• 43:39
  Speaker 4: race with four stages. Every other race is three stages.
• 43:42
  Speaker 4: Um the first two stages. Let's let's take the coxx
• 43:47
  Speaker 4: hunder out the first two stages, the top ten get
• 43:50
  Speaker 4: ten points, ten for first all the way down to one.
• 43:53
  Speaker 4: They got a little they had a little graph pulled
• 43:55
  Speaker 4: up out of it.
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, graphics are great I'm loving Bubba's analysis.
• 43:59
  Speaker 4: And so so just imagine an extra stage for the
• 44:02
  Speaker 4: Coke six hundred. Uh So, Sorez may have not finished
• 44:06
  Speaker 4: in the top ten one of those stages, as I
• 44:08
  Speaker 4: think Denny. Denny may have been top ten all three
• 44:12
  Speaker 4: stages he was. He was like top three. Yeah, and
• 44:15
  Speaker 4: so he got let's just call it, uh first, he
• 44:18
  Speaker 4: got ten points on one of them, nine points on
• 44:20
  Speaker 4: the second one, and eight points on the next. Right,
• 44:22
  Speaker 4: whatever that math is, what twenty seven points versus Suarez got.
• 44:27
  Speaker 4: Maybe he got zero points in one of them, two
• 44:29
  Speaker 4: points in the next, but he got the race win.
• 44:32
  Speaker 4: There's so at the end of the race, there's the points.
• 44:35
  Speaker 4: I don't know what the points breakdown is for that,
• 44:36
  Speaker 4: Like what's the start at thirty fifty five thirty five
• 44:41
  Speaker 4: and that goes down by one. So that's just that's
• 44:43
  Speaker 4: just if you into the race with no stages, boom,
• 44:46
  Speaker 4: that's the points that you get. Now you throw in
• 44:48
  Speaker 4: the stage points on top of on top of those
• 44:51
  Speaker 4: points right there. Okay, that makes sense, it.
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: Does little bit.
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: So something I'm gonna rewatch this and go back up
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: to that, go back up.
• 44:59
  Speaker 4: So Dinny finished second, right, So he got thirty five
• 45:01
  Speaker 4: points plus all of his stage points, so that's why
• 45:05
  Speaker 4: he ended up with more as to where Suarez only
• 45:08
  Speaker 4: got fifty five points.
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: Got you okay, check a little bit. That checks a
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: little bit.
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: Like how do you like to make sure the chase
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: got the chase? Do you like how it's went to
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: that format with just a ten race, like a ten
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: race series with like the top sixteen point scores.
• 45:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a little bit different than what we, you know,
• 45:27
  Speaker 5: have had for the last ten years or so. But
• 45:29
  Speaker 5: you know, this format, the chase format is pretty similar
• 45:32
  Speaker 5: to what we had, you know, over a decade ago,
• 45:34
  Speaker 5: and to where you know, if you pull up that
• 45:37
  Speaker 5: chase grid a third row down on the left, that's
• 45:42
  Speaker 5: how it used to be. So you'd have sixteen guys
• 45:44
  Speaker 5: run three races, cut four, run three race, cut for
• 45:47
  Speaker 5: cut four and then you hah the champ four and
• 45:49
  Speaker 5: then it was like a one race, winner take all
• 45:51
  Speaker 5: type thing. And we're now it's just sixteen guys and
• 45:54
  Speaker 5: then it's your average points for ten weeks. You know,
• 45:58
  Speaker 5: whoever's leading the point at the end of ten week.
• 46:00
  Speaker 5: So it rewards consistency, you know, more than you know
• 46:04
  Speaker 5: because with this format too, Like if you audit, if
• 46:06
  Speaker 5: you won, you were automatically into the next round. Yeah,
• 46:09
  Speaker 5: so you could run last last and win a race
• 46:12
  Speaker 5: and you move into the next round where you wouldn't
• 46:14
  Speaker 5: have pointed your way in because you weren't running very good.
• 46:17
  Speaker 5: Maybe you got lucky of winning a race or something.
• 46:19
  Speaker 4: So I like what they have now.
• 46:20
  Speaker 5: It rewards consistency, and I think you're gonna see like
• 46:23
  Speaker 5: a I hate to say this word more deserving, but
• 46:27
  Speaker 5: like the guy who can put ten the best ten
• 46:30
  Speaker 5: weeks together as opposed to the best maybe four weeks
• 46:32
  Speaker 5: together is gonna be the champ, Which I think that's
• 46:35
  Speaker 5: that's the way it should be.
• 46:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, the guys who don't get their guys' gifts don't
• 46:38
  Speaker 4: deserve to be champions. I don't I agree with that.
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: Would you say you don't get their guys gifts, deserve
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: to have their championship revoked, get Reggie bushed? Or would
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: you say this this is a brainstorm's no bad ideas, right,
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: you're mad at that, We're just gonna bubble.
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: Would you say he's got a asterisk next to his
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: championship due to it being in the old format.
• 46:59
  Speaker 4: Ryan, I know the way he won that year was
• 47:06
  Speaker 4: pretty damn incredible. Uh, you went what almost a year winless?
• 47:10
  Speaker 4: When you wanted Charlotte, I didn't want to. Yeah, so
• 47:13
  Speaker 4: when we wanted Charlotte. Uh like that that kind of
• 47:18
  Speaker 4: lit the fire under his ass. And you won three
• 47:21
  Speaker 4: races a year, four, three, three, And then he went
• 47:25
  Speaker 4: to you were back against the wall at Martinsville, right,
• 47:29
  Speaker 4: that was in twenty.
• 47:30
  Speaker 5: Four, twenty three. We were oh, we were good at Martinsville,
• 47:33
  Speaker 5: but we ended up winning the race anyway.
• 47:35
  Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, I thought you needed to win that race
• 47:37
  Speaker 4: and you got twenty four I did Okay. No, I
• 47:41
  Speaker 4: think the way he went about it may have not
• 47:43
  Speaker 4: had the most consistent year, Like we talked about consistency,
• 47:46
  Speaker 4: but when it was time to turn the wick on
• 47:48
  Speaker 4: and go out and get it, he did it. So yeah,
• 47:51
  Speaker 4: they're trying nice to hear, just not say trying times
• 47:56
  Speaker 4: a deserving champion. That's kind of fuck.
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: Trying to do the right journals here three years ago
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: and you guys are like congrats.
• 48:06
  Speaker 4: And the.
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: Like, it's a timing comfortable, that's all.
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we're in the we're in the ball busting face
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: yea shattered. Yeah, do you guys ever think about not
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: to bring it back to uh telegon. I hate to
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: do it. I hate to do it. But also you
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: ever think about if you win a race and you're
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: doing an interview, just like a just one big hairy
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: winning machine.
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: I don't know what to do with for sure. He's
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: pissed off even asked that question.
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I like something that just gets the people.
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: It gets the people going.
• 48:43
  Speaker 4: That'd be more him than me. It's the big Harry Maine.
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: I wake up in the morning. I pissed area.
• 48:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean drivers have done it already. Drivers have
• 48:56

• 49:15
  Speaker 4: gonna do something. Should release it in theaters.
• 49:18

  Speaker 1: We should.
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: It's gonna have a resurgence in all the post races. Yeah,
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: you gotta give them a shot, dude. Kind I was
• 49:50
  Speaker 2: kind of your way with Remember the Titans, and then
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: you just kind of forget and you go back and
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: you're like, oh my god.
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: Remember the Titans? Was that?
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: What are you talking about?
• 49:56
  Speaker 3: That was a great movie.
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: It's because I came out like in high school RPID
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: for high school, and then every varsity game where we
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: would get on the buses, they'd play it to the
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: point I was like, dude, fuck this movie. I'm sick
• 50:06
  Speaker 2: of this movie. And then I become older.
• 50:09
  Speaker 4: I go back and I watched making a mockery of
• 50:11
  Speaker 4: the game.
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: Guys, are we not in a safe space?
• 50:16
  Speaker 4: But it wasn't making a though like that was the
• 50:18
  Speaker 4: way they coached was motivating. It's a good story.
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: Taylor usually takes some time to come back.
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: I had the same problem with Fury. I had the
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: same problem with Feary. I came back to Fury. He
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: has watch Game of Thrones, get into a full breakdown
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: of Game of Thrones.
• 50:33
  Speaker 4: Like these guys hated each other, they didn't hate each other.
• 50:36
  Speaker 4: Well he did not like him. Yeah, they there was
• 50:40
  Speaker 4: a rivalry. And then you see this, he stepped down his.
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: Head coach and yeah, assistant Zel, I agree with that.
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: Can we not just say that that last play is
• 50:49
  Speaker 2: kind of bullshit? Like the quarterback blocks three guys, decletes
• 50:51
  Speaker 2: all three of them, And I'm arguing for something I
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: don't even agree with. So I'm gonna fall back.
• 50:58
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna fall back checks himself.
• 51:01
  Speaker 3: Anybody respond it gives for your guys, that's crazy, Well.

• 51:30
  Speaker 2: as a mockery.
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: Either Remember the Titans or Friday Night Lights.
• 51:33
  Speaker 4: Friday eight Lights is probably about taking back Sunday when
• 51:36
  Speaker 4: the eyeball was laying on the field.
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: Can I be honest, I haven't seen it. I haven't
• 51:39

  Speaker 1: So you had you had the experience factor, would it?
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: Would it kind of like internally piss you off? The
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: bubble just kept beating your ass growing up.
• 57:50
  Speaker 4: A little bit.
• 57:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah, we had still like we still had that competition
• 57:55
  Speaker 5: with ourselves for sure. No, yeah, Bubba won everything growing up,
• 57:58
  Speaker 5: like he was, like I peaked when I was.
• 58:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, hell yeah yeah was there Is there a guy
• 58:04
  Speaker 2: in your guys' friend group growing up that you're like,
• 58:06
  Speaker 2: I can't believe he didn't make it. You don't have
• 58:09
  Speaker 2: to say his name.
• 58:09
  Speaker 5: Yeah, there was a lot of guys, man, a lot
• 58:11
  Speaker 5: of guys I grew up, I mean both of us
• 58:13
  Speaker 5: grew up racing. That's like that guy could make it,
• 58:16
  Speaker 5: like talented enough to do it. Just never got an opportunity,
• 58:22
  Speaker 5: you know, no matter what age it was. I mean,
• 58:24
  Speaker 5: if there was kids around our age, for sure thought
• 58:26
  Speaker 5: they had the potential to do it. When I got
• 58:30
  Speaker 5: running late models, when both of us got running late models,
• 58:32
  Speaker 5: like there was guys that were, you know, thirty forty
• 58:34
  Speaker 5: years old. It's like and they just ran late models
• 58:36
  Speaker 5: their whole life, like weekly shows. It's like, these guys
• 58:39
  Speaker 5: are unbelievable. I just can't believe they never got a
• 58:42
  Speaker 5: shot to to go cup racing or something like that.
• 58:45
  Speaker 5: So there's a lot of talent out there, I mean,
• 58:47
  Speaker 5: and some guys just don't get opportunities.
• 58:49
  Speaker 4: I think go to a feel good story to that
• 58:51
  Speaker 4: was like Lee Pulliam just got his first national start
• 58:55
  Speaker 4: uh In Martins Vielle racing for Dell Junior in the
• 58:58
  Speaker 4: O'Reilly series, right, and like he's I don't know how
• 59:03
  Speaker 4: old he is Lee Pulliam H p U L L
• 59:07
  Speaker 4: I A M. Yeah, like yeah, like once it's his
• 59:14
  Speaker 4: age eighty eight, eighty eighty eight, thirty eight, yeah, thirty eight,
• 59:19
  Speaker 4: and like he's been around for a long time, multiple
• 59:22
  Speaker 4: track champion, multiple series champion, I believe, and finally got
• 59:27
  Speaker 4: his big break because one just one race and you
• 59:30
  Speaker 4: could just see how much it meant to him to
• 59:32
  Speaker 4: have that, because that's something he dreamed of but he
• 59:34
  Speaker 4: never got the right opportunity.
• 59:37
  Speaker 2: How like, how is it you have to like a
• 59:38
  Speaker 2: scout come and find you you have to be seen sad?
• 59:40
  Speaker 2: You talking about all these as a talent getting a
• 59:42
  Speaker 2: big break. This guy's multiple champion in different areas, Like,
• 59:46
  Speaker 2: how does that process work?
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: Because he's racing too, It's like you're gonna catch wind
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: of Yeah, he's just waxing as so I don't I
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: don't really know, Like I mean, the the root of
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: it all is money.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 4: A lot of the people now that that come up
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 4: through the ranks have enough money to fund their ride
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 4: in a truck series or in an a rally series
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 4: ride like they have millions of dollars worth it.
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 4: The other side of it is, you know, this isn't
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 4: knocking Blenny, but his dad and his family being in racing,
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 4: so he has that that resume already kind of built in.
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 4: If he lives up to that, then there's opportunities there
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 4: for him, right, and he capitalized on that. I don't
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 4: know there was there's no scouts really hanging out at
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 4: racetracks like, oh, this is a guy, this is the
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 4: kid we want to So how.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 5: Did like so with your story, like when you got
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 5: with Gibbs, yeah, way back in the day, Like how
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 5: did that process work?
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 4: So we were running, Yeah, we were running, were running
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 4: late models at the time two thousand and eight, and
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 4: two thousand and eight was our last. Next year, that
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 4: was it. It was two hundred and fifty thousand dollars
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 4: a year, and we had just enough money to cover that,
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 4: which is a lot of freaking money for Uh. I
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 4: don't know how what. I was thirteen fourteen year old
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 4: to go out and race right, and.
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: JG R.
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 4: Gibbs had a late model program that would run a
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 4: little bit, so you would kind of just see those conversations.
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 4: And they also had like their own like diversity program
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 4: as well, and so diversity helped me out a lot.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 4: But then people will instantly go to shit on that,
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 4: right because it's like, oh, he's only got the ride
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 4: because he's black. Not to get into this side of it.
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 4: But damn, I was just good enough to win fucking
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 4: races to earn all that shit, right, And that's what
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 4: people don't want to give you credit. For It wasn't
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 4: like I was running last in all these races and
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 4: I got the right.
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: Like, oh you gotta have a blanket in there, right, No, I.
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 4: Was, I was winning. I was winning these races. I
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 4: was running up front each and every freaking week. And
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 4: it happened to hey, we have this opportunity for you.
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 4: And even when I joined on jj ARE, they were like,
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 4: we really don't have anything, but NASCAR has there on
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 4: drift diversity program. We went out, we won that competition,
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 4: earned our way into there, and then the first race
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 4: of the year, we go out and fucking win it.
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 4: So just because you're black doesn't mean you're gonna win everything.
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 4: You gotta fucking put in the work and all that
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 4: stuff that leads up to it. And so there's a
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 4: lot of detractors out there and have at it. They can.
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 4: It's free freedom of speech. They can have their own opinion,
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 4: but there has to be a lot of hard work
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 4: and success to follow up with all that and that
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 4: they don't want to look at. And so when you
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 4: were out seventy six car right there, I remember that car. Yeah,
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 4: oh yeah, yeah. Thing was sex.
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, when you were getting your uh, when you were
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 1: getting this break, you're having to pay two hundred and
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: fifty grand a year just a race. M Like you
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: and the fan come up with twifty.

• 1:03:16
  Speaker 4: and we kept moving up. It wasn't like we're gonna
• 1:03:18

• 1:03:22
  Speaker 4: Like I so you asked earlier. I forgot what the
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 4: question was, But like, twenty years ago, did you see
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 4: yourselves where we're at? Not me, because I didn't care

  Speaker 4: Like in the local short track scene. Oh, I don't know,
• 1:06:48

• 1:06:51
  Speaker 4: say for what we're able to, what I'm able to watch,
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 4: like when we get to see the truck races they
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 4: race on Fridays, right, and then they expended or the
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 4: O'Reilly stuff races on Saturdays, Like we get to watch
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 4: those either in person or from our motor home because
• 1:07:04

  Speaker 4: have a carting facility that you can take your own
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 4: card up there. But this is like road course carding,
• 1:08:20

• 1:08:24
  Speaker 4: stuff right there.
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 2: Ribs, how fast you going?
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 4: Those the shifter cards depending on how big the track is,
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 4: and you can get up close to a damn hunter.
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 2: So you're talking shifter carts we're using. This is not automatic.
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 2: You're shifted in these cards.

• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: going to get on a little Yeah, we.

  Speaker 4: Need to figure we need to get a couple of cards,
• 1:08:57

  Speaker 2: We should do like anask or Olympics where we do
• 1:09:01

  Speaker 2: we can have.
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 4: That's actually, that's actually a really good idea.
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 1: Maybe, but maybe it's a trio because if we're doing
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 1: pit crew stuff, then we got it.
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 2: If it's out in Charlotte, we got Paul one Swan

  Speaker 1: He was the only one that's looking.
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 4: He did that the day before we did our media

  Speaker 4: day and he was the only one in that building
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 4: for sure taking this.
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 1: No doubt, like he wants the title, but he does
• 1:10:02

• 1:11:30
  Speaker 5: but I do a lot of like core strength stuff
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 5: like heat endurance stuff. It's kind of big for me.
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 5: Mental like strength is just as important to me as
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 5: like physical stuff in the car, Like can you keep
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 5: your brain calm and focused for four hours in there
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 5: while it's one hundred and thirty degrees in it?
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 4: Like that's big to me.
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 5: So doing heart rate things that get me really high,
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 5: and then can I do activities that get my heart
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 5: rate down?

  Speaker 1: And I can?
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 4: I folks us on doing these activities like in the

  Speaker 4: Your war slap out of second.
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 1: I'm with you, bro, I'm with you. I love it
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 1: feels like a great first episode of Racing with the
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 1: Boys feels really good. Have we missed anything, fellas? Yeah?
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 1: I think our goal is to create a beat between
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 1: you guys. But I don't feel like we really got.
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 5: I actually had a question for you, and I was
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 5: always curious about it because we get this lot when
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 5: you guys were playing. What was your favorite and least
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 5: favorite thing about your job?
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 2: Mm hmm. That's a great question. Favorite and the least favorite.
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 1: Thing, favorite thing. Process. I love the process, all.
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 4: Right, just to broad term the process, I thought so
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 4: full of ship. I thought he said prostitutes.
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 2: All we went, dude, The favorite thing was a dove.
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 2: And then the locker room after a win. That's or
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 2: the plane ride home after a big win. That's the
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 2: vibes are super high, guys are getting after it. That's
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 2: that's probably the thing you you missed the most and
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 2: love the most.
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 1: The thing. Yeah, definitely game day, Yeah, game.
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 2: Well, look he hated game day. In the mornings, that
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 2: was my probably my least favorite thing post like, just
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 2: because the like you wake up. I've always been a
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 2: great sleeper, But as soon as like I would go
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 2: to sleep, I would not be like nervous or anything.
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 2: But as soon as I woke up in the morning,
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 2: whether it be like six or seven am, you know,
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 2: we have a noon kickoff. Those next six or five hours,
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 2: it's just more anxiety creeping into my brain as every
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 2: minute passes. But the guy I'm going against, what moves
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 2: he might make? What if this defense happens? What if
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 2: I miss this splitz? What if I make the same
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 2: mistake I made last week? And I'm not like in
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 2: my brain coachable, So all like the worries of what
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 2: could possibly happen would be in my head once kickoff
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 2: would happen. National anthems play to get the first hit
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 2: out of the way.
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 4: I feel boom.
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 2: That's that's awesome. Like if you're at a flow stay
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 2: in a game, there's nothing better. You're just feeling like
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 2: I really can't do wrong here. I can kind of
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 2: I can fuck around and do some new shit and
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 2: it's gonna work out. That's the best feel you can have.
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 2: But before the game is that locker room, before you
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 2: go out, people get announced.
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 1: That's the worst feeling. Just anticipation, Yeah, but also how
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 1: sick is it to kind of like have that anxiety
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 1: in that like doubt kind of creeping your head and
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 1: you're running out. You hear the crowd the pregame, whether
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 1: it's speeches or guys, you just get rowdy. You're fucking
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 1: can pay in your face and do all these things
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 1: because you think you think you're going to war. Yeah,
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 1: I think that that is. I look back and I'm
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 1: like those were such like sick moments, like kind of
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 1: like having the fear.
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the ability like you're in a position to have
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 2: that feeling is a great feeling.
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 4: But I think it's interesting how you know, all of
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 4: us wired different, So seeing the contrast there, it's pretty
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 4: pretty special.
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 2: Do you guys get I mean, pre game jitters, there's
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 2: got to be Is there a level of anxiety it
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 2: takes place there at all?
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 1: No?
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 4: Not really for the race. I mean we do you
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 4: guys have been to a race before, Yeah, and you
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 4: see how much work we have to do before the race,
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 4: like interviews and oh yeah, stuff stuff, media stuff, Yeah,
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 4: and like that that can stretch you out a lot,
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 4: especially when you wake up feeling good for the race
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 4: and for everything to go down. And and what excites
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 4: me the most is, and I've kind of grasped on
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 4: this over the last five or six years, is that
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 4: every morning you wake up on Sunday, it could be
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 4: your day, right, And I like, I'm at a point
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 4: in my career where my car is just as good
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 4: as Ryan's I can go out and win a championship
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 4: if I put everything together, and so there's no opportunity
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 4: greater than now. And so for the last six years,
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 4: I've woken up with that thought. It's pretty fucking cool.
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a badass.
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah. It almost feels like you you might have like
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 1: those emotions if you didn't have all the stuff like
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 1: in between. You almost have to like get through. Yeah.
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 1: I hate to say it that way, but as the
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 1: competitor and the main thing being the main thing that day.
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you have to. With time, it gets it gets
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 4: easier to compartmentalize and like no.
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 1: No, but think if we had to do all of
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 1: those types of things, like the day.
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 2: Of a game, that would be game, that would be
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 2: absolute Tuesday afternoon, they're like, hey, we'll give you twenty
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 2: five hundred bucks ago Shakespeare, kiss bas buddy, I'm on.
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 1: There Thursday night, Wednesday night.
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 4: What's the career span.
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 2: Two and a half years average and a half really
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 2: yeah yeah, yeah, two and a half year average, a
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 2: lot of turnover. Yeah, so you get to that, there's
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 2: like a level of when you get to three, you're like, Eli,
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 2: I'm above the average.
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 4: We've many years.
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 1: Nine nine, I mean arguably ten, I'm a piece.
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 2: You know you're at peace?
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 2: Take nine.
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 1: Hey you guys going now, yeah, go ahead? Do you
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 1: know what you trust me? I'm there, I know what
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 1: you did? What do you What do you hate the most?
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 1: I feel like the thing I hated the most about
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 1: ball was basically the business side of it, honestly, because
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 1: you you wouldn't know Sometimes I'm going into off seasons
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 1: and you don't know if you're going to be back
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 1: with the same team, or the politics that kind of
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 1: go on internally, whether it's position, group defensively numbers, any
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 1: of that stuff. So it's like once you take once
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 1: I tasted that for the first time, or like getting
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 1: cut or realizing like you are just a commodity. Like
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 1: realizing that and seeing it for the first time kind
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 1: of puts like a weird taste in your mouth. As
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 1: far as like the game you grew up loving, seeing
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 1: all the team, seeing the pro teams, like I grew
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 1: up like a Dallas Cowboys, so like seeing the star,
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 1: getting to wear an NFL helmet, and college you're so
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 1: much team, team, team, It's all about culture and all
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 1: that stuff, which it is in the NFL too. But
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 1: once you taste like getting cut or seeing other guys
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 1: you cut, are just understanding how the business structure of
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 1: it works. It kind of like takes that kind of
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 1: takes away from from what you love.
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 5: That's the craziest thing to me about Like, let's just say, y'all,
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 5: sport like that we don't really have is you could
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 5: wake up Monday and Tuesday.
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 4: Could be like, hey, you're traded too. Yeah, that's wow
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 4: New York.
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah, pack of shit, Like you're leaving and there's nothing
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 5: you can do about it, right, Like that's just that's crazy, Like,
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 5: we don't have that.
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 4: That's not a thing no for us.
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 1: My first year on practice squad. I was fortunate to
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 1: be with the same team my entire first year on
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 1: practice squad. But a lot of guys it is like
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 1: a revolving door. Yeah, so you might go to where
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 1: you get cut, but then you put on the practice squad.
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 1: Coaches really like you, staff likes you, like you feel good,
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 1: you feel like you're part of the guys. You feel
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 1: like you're part of the locker room of the team.
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 1: But then some guys it's like they sign on the
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 1: six month lease or a year lease in an apartment
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 1: because they're thinking that, Okay, there's gonna be opportunity to here.
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 1: Then within two weeks you can be cut and then
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 1: you're having to go to let's you say, Indianapolis picks
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 1: you up, and now you're paying You're still paying the
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 1: lease on this spot over here, you're on practice squad.
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 1: You're having to do the same thing. Now you're trying
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 1: to negotiate, like, hey, can I just go a month
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 1: at a time because I truly have no clue where
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 1: I'm going to be. And it kind of like, you know,
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 1: you just kind of get sour because the coaches are
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 1: going to tell you one thing, or maybe an assistant
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 1: coach or one of your teammates, Hey, they like you this,
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 1: they like you that. But then once you get snipped, yeah,
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 1: you kind of like just don't have control if you
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 1: are like a bubble guy, right yeah, right, Yeah.
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 2: Our experiences were different. I didn't I only cut one
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 2: time and at the end of my career and everything
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 2: like that. But I remember my rookie year watching because
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 2: in college it's like I read shirt my freshman year,
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 2: so I'm really not I'm not playing, I'm just practice.
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 2: I'm there for scout team and you're kind of watching,
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 2: but you're in your brain in the coach's brand. It's like, oh,
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 2: we'll develop this guy, We'll get him up and hopefully
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 2: can be a starter in X, Y and Z and
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 2: have all the all the achievements he can possibly have.
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 2: So when you go into your rookie year, you're sitting
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 2: there like, oh, the rookie class that I come up
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 2: with all seven draft picks and the other ten undracted
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 2: free agents. You're like, oh, we're a little crew. This
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 2: is our class that we're all going to kind of
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 2: grow up together. And then that first cuts happened, where
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 2: they go from like ninety three and back then it
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 2: was ninety three to seventy two, then seventy fifty three,
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 2: the first cut happens, and four of your boys just
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 2: got hey, grab your playbook. GM wants to see you.
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 2: And you're watching it take place in the same place
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 2: over and over over again. That's it's just crazy to
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 2: You're like, I can't believe we can just all kind.
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 1: Of be gone. Yeah, you don't. It's like you're also thinking,
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 1: like a buddy you had or a teammates your head
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 1: were like, they're good enough to be on the squad,
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 1: but in case you want to carry an extra receiver,
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 1: an extra running back, or somebody who can play special
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 1: teams to where it's just like a numbers game. You're like,
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 1: oh damn, yeah, hey buddy, I didn't see this coming.
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 2: And then when you get older, Yeah, you get older
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 2: and your boys are asking you questions about what you think,
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 2: and you're just like in your brain, you're like, I
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 2: think you look at your playing well, but there's this
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 2: many guys you're trying to like be positive for them,
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 2: and then they get snipped. He was like, fuck, yeah, hey,
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, because you're not gonna really talk to him
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 2: during the season. You're gonna like check in because you're
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 2: so busy in your own world trying to accomplish your
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 2: own individual and team goals. This guy that you were
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 2: just so close with, he's off in the abyss somewhere
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 2: and you're just wondering, when are they gonna get my ass?
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 5: You know, did you guys ever in your nine years, like,
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 5: did your team ever draft a kid that was your position?
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 1: And where you're like, fuck, yeah, oh dude, when I
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 1: got free agency, I got I was in Washington for five.
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 1: Then I signed here and uh remember Draft night, it
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 1: was like me and Wesley Wood was in the was
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 1: in the spot, I was working bass. He was like
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 1: the nickel and dime guy, Like he was like the captain.
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 1: He was the guy. Then we're on draft night. I'm
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 1: sending at this bar over in Germantown and they draft.
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 1: They trade up, Titans trade up and draft Rashaun Evans
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 1: inside back or out of Alabama, and I'm just watching
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 1: first round. I'm like, fuck, you already know what time
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 1: it is?
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 2: Man?
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 1: And he was hurt. He was hurt the entire preseason.
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 1: He had a hamstring injury. So I'm running ones in
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 1: some packages. Wes is kind of splitting reps at the
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 1: the mic and the will and he's out all of
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 1: training camp. But him being the investment, like he's out
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 1: there if he was ready to go week one, he's
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 1: out there playing week one. So it's like like you
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 1: taste things like that and you're just like, fuck man.
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 1: But I knew, like on that night when they traded
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 1: up to get this man, You're like, WHOA, there goes
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 1: over going man?
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 1: I was sitting with my boys too. They were in town.
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 1: Like one of my buddies was having a bachelor party
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 1: and we're all kind of sitting together and they just
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 1: kind of like look over and like just pat me
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 1: on the back.
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 2: Sorry, broh, that's crazy. Yeah. They I had We had
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 2: Jack Conklin they drafted. He played the same position as me,
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 2: but he went to right tackle. So there was a
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 2: whole situation where we had the first overall pick and
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 2: the rumor was that the Titans are or I guess,
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 2: like the twitter was like, Okay, well happen is We'll
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 2: take this guy. We'll move Taylor to right. And in
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 2: my brain, I'm like, I can't play right tackle, so
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 2: I'm only gonna play left. And I had this thing.
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 2: I just met my wife and I was like, hey,
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 2: just so you know, if they asked me to move
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 2: to right, I'm gonna ask to be traded. I'm gonna
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 2: ask them to get rid of me because I can't.
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 2: I can't play right. I'm not going to play right.
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 2: It was an ego thing too, and so I go
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 2: into OTA's they trade the first overall pick away for
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 2: the thirteenth pick, but on draft night they trade up
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 2: to eight to take this kid named Jack Conklin, who
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 2: ended up having a great career and he played right
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 2: I played left. Ends up going to Cleveland. Then they
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 2: traded they I think in twenty twenty, they drafted this
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 2: guy named Isaiah Wilson, who also played left tackle, who
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 2: was gonna be like my replacement. He ended up not
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 2: working out. Kilan Raidn's like, there's like three or four
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 2: instances where I was like, okay, like I see what
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 2: you guys are, Like, I understand, Yeah, you have to
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 2: have a backup plan that takes place here.
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 1: So who's the guy who's the left tackle before you?
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 1: Because Taylor in the first round, like Taylor's guy, he
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 1: comes across the screen. You're sitting there as a left
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 1: tackle of the team.
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 2: You're like, fuck yeah, yeah, see there was the guy,
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 2: the guy that I ended up replacing. His name is
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 2: Michael Ruse. He played for ten years with the Titans,
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 2: and then the guy before him was Brett Brad Hopkins
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 2: who played ten years for the Titans. So there's been
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 2: twenty years of continuity at the left tackle position of
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 2: just two guys, and then I get drafted handsome boy,
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 2: no shot that look like, oh yeah, that dude was
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 2: an animal too. I'm just letting you know.
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, god, what a dog.
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, look at that that. I went to a tanning
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 2: bed every single week until the combine. No way, we
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 2: got the same skin complexion right there, bro, I was
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 2: you got it, you got it.
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 1: We gotta get like a light skin photo after this.
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely absolutely, no way. Man, that's wild.
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah there was. That's and that's without the spreak twn.
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 2: That to me right there, that's my red shirt freshman year.
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 4: I believe that's wild.
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 2: So anyway, Yeah, that game's always played. Will has a
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 2: much different situations situation of like guys game drafted. For me,
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 2: it was like I'm supposed to be like a pillar
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 2: of this team at all times, and there was like
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 2: a level of pressure there. The thing I hated the
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 2: most how much meetings we had.
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 1: To me.
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 2: It was like, actually the install, I need to know
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 2: the basis of what they're going to do in there,
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 2: and then I kind of want to be left alone
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 2: to watch my guy because I have this like one
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 2: on one taken place. Let me Yeah, just let let
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 2: the dog out of the cage for you know what
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 2: I'm saying, these Wednesday meetings early for your boy. You
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 2: know not my sleep.
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 4: You know, I'm with you.
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 1: Bubba answered what he hated most. You can't just let
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 1: him take the grenade. What do you hate the most about?
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 4: What I hate about it? If you're off, like can
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 4: you suck?
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 5: Like your cars are not where they need to be
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 5: and nothing's going right, Like it turns it into a
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 5: job really fast, Like I whether you think that you're
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 5: internally not doing the right things, whether your team is
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 5: kind of struggling, not having the best equipment out there,
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 5: Like that's just a competitive nature.
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 4: I hate that, Like I hate being in that spot.
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 4: But the beauty of it is you work your way
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 4: out of it, you know, And that's the that's.
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 5: The cool thing about competing. But god damn, I hate
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 5: running bad. It sucks, man, same as losing, Like you
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 5: hate losing. There's a difference though, in our sport between
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 5: losing and running bad. Yeah, Like you're going to lose
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 5: a lot more than you win in our sport, just
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 5: part of it. Like if you're losing, but you're running,
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 5: you know, top ten consistently.
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 4: You're running pretty good.
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 5: Like you're competing, dude, If you're running like thirtieth, twenty
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 5: fifth every week, it's just beating your dick into the dirt,
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 5: like and it's mentally you just get.
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 4: I'm not running there. I've just fucking got wiped out
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 4: last fucking month and that's where I've finished. It hurts
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 4: it a couple of.
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 2: Those days you look in the mirror and be like,
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 2: who are you really?
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 1: Like? What are we doing?
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 2: When you're old, I'm not running well?
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 1: At what point?
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 2: How many races have to go by before you get
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 2: in somebody's ask about the way your car is running?
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 1: If you fully know that you were supremely confident that.
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 4: It's not you, that's the thing, Like that all it depends.
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 5: Sometimes you do think it's you, Like you get in
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 5: your head about it, like I twenty two, I didn't win,
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 5: and I didn't win for like a year and a half,
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 5: and like I was mentally down. I was like my
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 5: teammate won the championship that year. In twenty two, I
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 5: didn't win a race, and I'm like, dude, I suck,
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 5: Like I can't do it. My team's obviously running well,
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 5: I'm not good enough to do this. And that was
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 5: tough to get over for sure, Like you had to
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 5: have a lot of internal talks in yourself, like how
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 5: do I change up what I'm doing?
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 4: That part makes it tough.
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure.
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 5: When you think you're the problem because your team is
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 5: doing the right things, but like you are not running
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 5: how your teammates are running, that part sinks.
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 1: Is there?
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 2: I know I asked the question when you're getting somebody's ask,
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 2: has everybody gotten you about the way you're racing? Bringing
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 2: the office, Hey, listen, we need our best players to
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 2: play out there best on game day.
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 4: Besides my dad, No, people, there's not a whole lot
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 4: of like his dad gets.
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 2: We need more.
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 5: I think they will discreetly drop hints like they'll never
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 5: look at you be like you need to do a
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 5: better job, like, hey, we think you can improve.
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 4: You know these areas in this area. You know, I
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 4: think you're you should look into this more. It's not
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 4: like you suck. You need to do better. So that's
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 4: the one thing. It was actually on the way up
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 4: here reading this book, Tim Grover, he was MJ's and
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 4: Kobe's and Duey's or Dwayne Wade's trainer and stuff. And
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 4: our locker room talk is way different, Our coach talk
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 4: is way different than what you guys go through. Hey, motherfucker.
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 4: You need to get your shit together, like we gotta Hey, man,
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 4: you want to go out to lunch, let's talk about
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 4: our performance, and it needs to happen because we got
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 4: a lot of softies in our sport.
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 1: Really has it been has it kind of developed that way?
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 1: Like has it always kind of been that way? I
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 1: think it's gone. So you went for more mechanical people
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 1: to now more engineer background, and so people coming from
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 1: four year degrees or master's degrees and in college and
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 1: looking at computer screens and not having their astitude out.
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 1: You know, I remember getting my ass beat when I
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 1: was a kid, not beat, it sounds terrible, but also
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 1: the switch yeah yeah out its gentle parenting shit right, Yeah,
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 1: And I think that applies to a lot of people
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 1: in life and their adult ways, because I'll be the
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 1: first person to be like, hey, we fucking sucked, and
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 1: then I'm the asshole.
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 2: Then the team you at to lunch being like, hey,
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 2: so the way you came out those guys earlier, you
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 2: got to be just know that we need to nurture
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 2: the relationship, not.
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and you're trying to push the same direction together.
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 4: We're all pushing towards the end goal. It's just we
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 4: got a massage on one side. That's to where I'm like, no,
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 4: when I suck, you better fucking tell.
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 2: Me you want that hard coaching, Yeah, takes place.
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 1: What's the biggest ass you and you've witnessed with his
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 1: old man on him.
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 4: It's my dad always did it behind closed door. Yeah,
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 4: Or or it's Monday two o'clock when we're in the
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 4: middle of a fucking golf sash fucking phone vibrate in
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 4: the golf cart and he's just quiet ten minutes and
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 4: I'm like, what is that, Dave?
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yes, sir, Yeah, that is it.
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 4: You got it.
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 1: He's gotten better.
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 4: That is what the championships.
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, as as we were kind of breaking down, like
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 1: the business side was getting cut in football, like how
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 1: does that? Does that happen in racing? Like if you're
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 1: driving bad and you're not getting like wrecked or anything
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 1: like that, if you're just driving back, you're you're the
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 1: bottom ten consistently like our guys having like you know
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 1: in our world, like turning your iPad, how do they
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 1: replace you guys?
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, a lot of us are contracts, so we'll be
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 4: on a two year, three year whatever it is, and
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 4: and so you run bad in your first year, you
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 4: still got a whole another year to get your ship
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 4: turned around.
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so you could just run bad b bottom ten
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 1: entire first year. And if you're on a two year deal,
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 1: it's more of like, all right, they're probably gonna get
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 1: rid of me after the contract expires you.
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 2: Unless you go ball out that next year.
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 4: Unless there's a right right that that can happen, or
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 4: there is a clause you could Yeah, there's a clause
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 4: in your contract, like if you didn't meet expectations, then
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 4: they could cut you. It's just all depends on how
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 4: your contracts, right, Yeah, got you, yep, got you.
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 2: That's some great type stuff. If you don't meet expectations,
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 2: like what are the expectations, right, championship or bust?
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 4: Well, it's it's what you.
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 3: You.
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 4: You have the luxury. It's not like a team hands
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 4: you a contract. They do and then you go back
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 4: and word it like, well, okay, I'm a rookie and
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 4: you expect me to win a championship or i'm cut,
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 4: Like no, how about let's go finish top twenty in
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 4: the points and then we work our way there. So
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 4: you massage out your own contract to benefit you.
• 1:31:55

• 1:33:42
  Speaker 1: Anyway, thank you guys for coming on.
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, before we before.
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 2: We get out of here. I know, like obviously there
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 2: was a massive news that took place in NASCAR last
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 2: week with Kyle Busch. Just now yeah, just now, no, Uh,
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 2: clearly he's like one of the ghosts. He's meant a
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 2: lot of this sport. He's done so much in the
• 1:33:59
  Speaker 2: series of events that took place in such a short
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 2: amount of time. I'm sure it's like a rattled not
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 2: only you guys, but the whole world of NASCAR. Like
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 2: I would just love to know, like what Kyle meant
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 2: to you guys, what it was like racing with him,
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 2: you know, something along those lines.
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, for me, I raced for Kyle in twenty thirteen,
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 4: twenty fourteen, and when we were talking about the Truck Series,
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 4: I was racing for Kyle then and so race for
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 4: him for two years and that's when I started racing
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 4: against him. So that was fourteen years of competing against Kyle,
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 4: being able to see his ups and downs and everything
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 4: in between, winning multiple championships. Yeah, like really really tough
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 4: loss for the community for sure, tough loss for me
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 4: personally because we didn't I said this on air, Kyle
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 4: was really really hard to talk to. Kyle was still,
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 4: you know, to him, unbeatable. Totally totally respect it, but
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 4: like he often made you feel dumb when you went
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 4: and asked him a question about something, and that made
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 4: it hard for me to talk to him about anything, right,
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 4: And so I wouldn't say a relationship took a back seat,
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 4: but it just kind of it was what it was.
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 4: But we would just have random moments of conversations and
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 4: it was fun. And when I heard the news, I
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 4: looked around and everything that was in front of me
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 4: is because of him. You know, the life that I have,
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 4: It's all started in the Truck Series winning my first race.
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 4: I remember after the first season. This goes back to
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 4: getting cut my first first season in trucks. I won Martinsville,
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 4: which was race eighteen of twenty two, so it was
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 4: getting towards the end, and he set me down after
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 4: the season and he's like, if you didn't win Martinsville,
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 4: you weren't coming back. But here you are. Make something happen.
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 4: We went on to win four more the next year
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 4: and I had a great year. Lost championship because Ryan,
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 4: but is what it is. What Kyle was an instrumental
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 4: part to who I was and what I was about,
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 4: and so definitely miss him. Still think about him every day.
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I loved what you said on there too, because
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 1: you also shared a moment to where you guys had
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 1: like one of your your final conversations where he's mentioning
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 1: how he's proud of you, and it kind of took
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 1: you by by surprise, but also it's almost like this
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 1: full I don't know, I guess this moment to where
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 1: when this stuff happens, I'm sure it kind of you know,
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 1: obviously shocks you, but also you're probably very happy that
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 1: that moment.
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 4: Well, it makes me feel like, why did I actually
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 4: not not hold a grudge, but why did I resent
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 4: talking to Kyle when you know he actually did care
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 4: And you'll never be able to have that conversation again,
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 4: You're right, but yeah, you don't know who's coming up
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 4: behind you to give you a hug and pull you
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 4: in tight. And that was that was him that day
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 4: after after Indie, and that was pretty cool.
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 2: That's awesome. I feel solid. Boys, you feel good.
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 1: I'm just in here.
