Welcome to Pushing the Cushion Shop Beers. As always, Corby Sherb. Corby Scherb: Saca. Slim Pushins: and Jim's not here with us tonight, so we have the best stand in that we could find in the moment. ryder laplante: Sitting down, actually. Slim Pushins: Ryder the kid LePlant, fresh off of a three hundred five win in Abilene. You've become the godfather of Abilene. Corby Scherb: Yeah. ryder laplante: Yeah. Slim Pushins: We're live now. I can Corby Scherb: You're gonna beat Logan in his Grayson County record. I think I I think I think you beat you knocked Logan off the pedestal just whenever you beat him that night. Slim Pushins: What was that? Corby Scherb: Your first win. ryder laplante: yeah, when he was like three in a row, right? Or four? Corby Scherb: Mm-hmm. Slim Pushins: You won three in a row? Corby Scherb: I think he won four. I think it was actually four, 'cause we ran twice that year. Or we ran twice the year before and he won both. And then that was the last race, 'cause we were supposed to be in Canadale, that the the bed of the truck story, and I got to come over there to watch your first one. It was the the slip track master then, Rider LePlant. Slim Pushins: yeah. That was a good ryder laplante: Not anymore, huh? Corby Scherb: What what was Adeline like? How was it? ryder laplante: It was it rubbered up and they. Corby Scherb: Yeah. Slim Pushins: Why didn't you why didn't you win your heat? ryder laplante: started sick skyro, you ever seen anyone? Corby Scherb: How was the track in the heat race? Was it was it already blowing off? ryder laplante: One and two was pretty hammered down and three and four was pretty slipped. Like you could enter hard but off exit it's really where it gets like gravelly in a way, you what I'm talking about? On the wall. You got that and the bottom is really good but you know they go really slow. It was pretty fun. Probably the best heat racetrack we've had there in my opinion. Corby Scherb: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Was it better than the night that we let that dude from Indiana beat us? ryder laplante: No, no, wouldn't say so. Yeah. Corby Scherb: That was good that night, man. Slim Pushins: There it is. Corby Scherb: There it is. Look at him. Hair's still looking perfect. Slim Pushins: Why'd your driver's seat so short? ryder laplante: What do mean? Slim Pushins: You said you were growing out of it, doesn't go to the ground anymore. ryder laplante: No, the belly. Getting too small. Slim Pushins: That's what it is. That's what it is. Corby Scherb: Becoming an adult. ryder laplante: Yep. I think they call it happy weight. Corby Scherb: For sure. Slim Pushins: You're looking at your team to make sure you don't say anything offensive? ryder laplante: Yeah, making sure we're good. So how was the RPM? I mean, no one cares about the sprint cars, talking about spectator race. How did that go? Slim Pushins: RPM. We're gonna Corby Scherb: Specs High Race was really cool, man. Slim Pushins: We're gonna get to that. I thought I had video of it. Jim left me with a handful of videos. I don't see it. Corby Scherb: Jim pulled off once again. He would have guessed Slim Pushins: He left me with that. Corby Scherb: Twice? Slim Pushins: Well, I meant to press stop. Corby Scherb: track was good. the RPM racetracking was really good. It was super good on the bottom of two and I not a lot of people could could truly slow down enough 'cause RPM is super tight around the bottom. racing was good I thought. I thought they did a really good job with cautions and restarts. Cody Price Got him a win. Yeah, Cody Price got him a win. Slim Pushins: I guess it'll replay. Wait, I've got that one too. Corby Scherb: He was he was one of the only guys, through three and four that would kinda like bounce it off of the cushion. He wouldn't actually roll the cushion through three and four. And he was really good on the exit of two. ryder laplante: So it wasn't marbly like it usually is, it was actually curved up. Corby Scherb: No, it was there was enough of a curb there you could actually bounce off of it. as long as you slid right to the center, 'cause it was kinda like like you're saying, it was super powdery on entry of three, so you couldn't really be in it. you had to go up to it, and then it stayed pretty decent compared to typical RPM on Exit of four. One and two the it like always it just gets so washed away on Exit of Two, so it was better down the bottom. Slim Pushins: We didn't have any corn dogs. ryder laplante: What's Slim think of the track? Corby Scherb: What do you think? Yeah, what do you think? Kerbo? Yeah. Slim Pushins: I agree with you. I think it was racy. There were a couple of lines. I think there was a fair number of passing. I mean, the leaders got to the lap cards pretty quick. through a couple of cautions. Nothing major. Landon Thompson with another with another up front run. Corby Scherb: He was really fast all night. I don't know. He he kinda he had a shot at price and made a mistake getting into or on the exit of two. I think he just got into turn one a little too deep or a little bit he he was like half a lane up on entry of one and made a mistake. Mm hmm. Mm hmm. So it is, man, 'cause like you're saying, it's just gets marbly. It's like it's not that the track breaks down at all, it's just it's it's like a dust film across it. It's super slick through the center. ryder laplante: And then just skate it up to the wall or... It's a weird place. Slim Pushins: Corby got called out over the receiver, so there's that. Corby Scherb: Kevin Reamy. Slim Pushins: He was evident Yeah, what were you doing? ryder laplante: What were you doing? Corby Scherb: I I bumped Braxton off and I don't know, I was just cruising and trying to get off the racetrack. Apparently Kevin said over the race dever, sorry guys, we gotta wait on fucking Corby Scher, who's got his hair flipped back and checking out his new Flatbill hat. ryder laplante: Thinking you were back in the seat or what? Slim Pushins: Stupid flatbill hat. Everybody came off the track and we're laughing. Corby Scherb: I was just trying to get off the racetrack, I couldn't help it. Slim Pushins: I thought it was pretty funny. I ran over Wesley's daughter's foot on four wheeler during I think the heat race. She wasn't ready for me to back up. But it happened. Now she had it she didn't have a typical attitude all weekend. But, you know. You're not wrong at times. She was more surprised than anything. She said I ran over her foot. I didn't feel it. ryder laplante: Imagine that. Corby Scherb: Yeah, I may imagine that. ryder laplante: Probably deserved it though, a little bit. Slim Pushins: But it is what it is. Corby Scherb: I'm sure you wasn't paying attention as always. Slim Pushins: Well she was standing next to the the right front. So when I I just backed up. I was up on that hill at the fence. I don't know where you were all night. I don't know where you were watching. Corby Scherb: Bash away. Like always. Like everyone else. Yeah. Where we watch the spectator race. ryder laplante: Where everyone else watches. Slim Pushins: That's the the only the that was awesome. That was awesome. I know it's on their their Facebook page, but I have no idea how to get it from there to here. Ryder, you brought up the the top twenty five. I don't see your name on here. Dylan Ramey. Dylan Ramey with the hard charger of the week up eight spots. He had a great run Saturday night too. Kobe Stoblefield still up front, Landon Thompson. there wasn't any change in the top four. Ricketts moved up one. Bolden moved up. Bolden moved up one. I d I'm not sure. Wilson moved up three. ryder laplante: Should be, I'm practically the co-host. Corby Scherb: How? Hmm. Slim Pushins: Harmon dropped one. ryder laplante: Townsend Down 3, don't know what's going on there. Slim Pushins: but we got some we've got some people breaking into the top five. Cody Price, his win got him into the top five. Caden Trotter is a newbie to the top twenty five. Good for them. Casey Merrill up five spots. Corby Scherb: I don't know much about them. I ain't talked to any of them. Rider, do you know the Trotters? ryder laplante: what number is that? Slim Pushins: Did I get lost? Corby Scherb: The nineteen Caden. Slim Pushins: Do what? My internet said it's trying to ryder laplante: No, I don't. Sounds familiar. Sounds familiar. Corby Scherb: I think I've only seen run an RPM. Slim Pushins: Who? Caden Trotter? I don't think I know who I don't think I know him. Or I don't know his f him by face. ryder laplante: What's the, is there a payout for this car ranking in the year? Slim Pushins: Yeah, it's pretty significant. Pretty significant. what else? Are the Spectator race. Well they have five cars, Corby. I missed like the the first couple of rounds. I thought they were doing it after the features. Corby Scherb: It was five or six, I'm not I'm I don't remember for sure. It was cool, man, it was fun. I I personally think they need to go two laps on every race, the the one lap shootout stuff. And man I was I just knew there was gonna be a couple of people getting doored. But we d no, we didn't see any of that. I I knew it was coming. ryder laplante: People got bored, huh? Slim Pushins: No, they came close. They came close a couple of times. the land I'm assuming that Land Rover was all wheel drive, wasn't it? And that it came down to it came down to a Land Rover and like a ma was it a Malibu? What was that? Corby Scherb: I'm sure. ryder laplante: Yep. Slim Pushins: You don't know. ryder laplante: Yeah, I do. Slim Pushins: Did you see it? ryder laplante: Yeah, it's on race on. It's got more clicks than the sprint car race. Corby Scherb: It's on Facebook. It's on Rhyson too. Slim Pushins: yeah, you re you reshared it. I'm sure it does. Corby Scherb: It was cool man, it was pretty exciting. I s I think that they need to run two laps for the I guess they ran like qualifying races and then they ran three. Probably because they didn't want to see someone get doored. Half bucket helmets were classic. Slim Pushins: I'm sure that there was a reason for it, but I agree with you. It was Did everybody wear helmets? ryder laplante: That's all you had to wear, half helmet? Slim Pushins: 'Cause Kevin made the comment that it wasn't required. It's probably a good idea though. Corby Scherb: It was cool. We should see more stuff like that, you know. The trailer race, the parker car on the trailer. I can't wait. I can't wait. Slim Pushins: We're gonna make that happen. ryder laplante: NASCAR, had that they a go-kart race and they're wearing costumes. That's pretty cool. Corby Scherb: Yeah. Slim Pushins: That's the that's the mascot. Hold on. I sent it to Jim. ryder laplante: Yeah. Slim Pushins: I sent it to Jim and he got like ryder laplante: I would have smoked that Land Rover with my Yoda. This Kevin guy. Yeah. Slim Pushins: One more time. Did you see that Corby? lug nut's head fell just right off. ryder laplante: Hehehehe. Corby Scherb: Patrick's asking you a question, Roger. ryder laplante: I was waiting for Kerbo to pull it out. Slim Pushins: What? Corby Scherb: That's a big question. I actually talked to Patrick about that l yesterday. Slim Pushins: Last year. Corby Scherb: Bastard it for sure. ryder laplante: Mmm. Three to five, I don't know, you can't really feel the difference with a wicker bill. I mean, it does make a difference, but for me, I don't feel nothing. What do think, Corby? Corby Scherb: We we ran we r no, we ran dished in the beginning and that's what I was telling Patrick. Jason Martin is who got us hooked on flat flat tops. saying that especially in three fives you need to force the wind more to the tail rather than at the center of the the belly. But like you're saying, if you run a dish with a wicker, I would imagine I see, I don't know. I mean I know some of how like airflow is, but ryder laplante: But you've also you've never ran the big motor stuff either though. Corby Scherb: I would imagine that it your your wicker bill is not as aggressive on a dish wing because the wind is already rolling back up compared to a flat top. And then there's some people like like y'all, y'all've always ran dish stuff. So you would be a better ryder laplante: Mm-hmm. Corby Scherb: representation of saying that it works or it doesn't work. You're saying in a three five, like have you all changed the wicker bills on your three five stuff much? Like added the the bigger ones and shorter ones? ryder laplante: Yeah, we always start out with a one and then end of the night put a two on. Corby Scherb: Mhm. Do you tell a difference in just that or or is it more set up stuff, you know? Slim Pushins: Speed secrets. ryder laplante: think it's more set up and I think Wickerbill, it makes a difference. for me, I don't feel it, but I think it's also a mental thing, you know, if you got that two inch on. Corby Scherb: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. ryder laplante: roll better. Corby Scherb: Yeah. What do you think, Herba? Slim Pushins: Down force. ryder laplante: We got a lot of that on the four-wheeler. Slim Pushins: On mine. Corby and I got into engine talk on the way home from RPM. Corby didn't like my terminology. Corby Scherb: No. It was terrible. And I'm not even an engine guy. I'm not even an engine guy. I'm not. I understand what needs to happen in a motor. talking about valve spring pressure and stuff like that, I think like the IMCA rule is like a hundred and twenty or something. Just talking about valve springs and st we were just talking about that stuff and Kerbo doesn't understand much at all. He'll admit that. Slim Pushins: Go ahead. Go ahead yeah, okay. ryder laplante: For jab, it's 140. Slim Pushins: Yeah. We were talking about changing valve springs and Corby's like, I don't want any part of that. Corby Scherb: So change in val spring, I don't want any part of that. I don't want any part of that. I understand what it takes to do that. And Kerbo was under the impression that the cat paw looking holder, that's what holds the valve spring on. Ryder, can you do you understand what that is? And it has a little bolt on top? It Rocker arm your rocker arm. Slim Pushins: Catholic. A bolt. ryder laplante: The cat? Yeah, the... Yes. Slim Pushins: The cat paw. The cat paw. Corby Scherb: I was trying to understand what the f he was saying. No man, a rocker arm, that's that's just pushing down how much you're gonna intake or exhaust on that stuff. You know, it has the valve spring has I don't know, I think it's valve spring cap on top and it has two keepers that go in there. So you gotta go in there, you gotta compress a spring, take a magnet, pull the keepers out, take the cap off, and you release that. Slim Pushins: I kept I kept calling it a cat hawk. Corby lost his shit. That turned into a thirty minute long conversation where he felt like he had to Corby Scherb: And then you can take the valve spring off. Kerbo is thinking that just the catpaw looking dude is everything that holds that valve spring down. And I was like, no man, the the spring is designed at how hard the valve shuts. That has nothing to do with this guy. ryder laplante: you Slim Pushins: nobody was arguing with that. I didn't that's that's a hundred percent true. It's the ryder laplante: Well just three years ago he called a driveshaft a Johnson rod. You remember that? He the news with him. The chili ball. Slim Pushins: Where was that? Corby Scherb: Yeah. Slim Pushins: I did that for Jim. I still think that that's a better name for it than Corby Scherb: Rock arm lifter. Slim Pushins: The real name. What is it? Cover? Rock and wrong cat paw cover? Corby Scherb: Valve valve cover? A valve cover? Slim Pushins: No. ryder laplante: Four wheel drive or two wheel drive? Corby Scherb: man, no Lisa now I understand enough about a motor to get myself in trouble, that's why I won't touch one. Slim Pushins: Cat pause where it's at. Corby Scherb: It's simple, it has four strokes, intake, compression, power, exhaust. I would love to File screen retainer, there you go, not a valve cap. There you go. There you go. Thank you, Kevin. Slim Pushins: I think you should. Go for it. Corby Scherb: See? See, even I look stupid curbo. Slim Pushins: I don't know. ryder laplante: Kevin he's a guy for that if he don't run the valves after a after let it sit out in the sun, you know Corby Scherb: I don't know, we got Slim Pushins: huh. Corby Scherb: No, like running the valves, all that stuff. we never none of us ever did. I I would never do anything like that. We s Slim Pushins: Toss's got jokes. Corby Scherb: Absolutely, Patrick. No, if we if we Slim Pushins: I don't think Corby Scherb: were when we were racing motorcycles, man, like if something happened to it, we just pulled the motor out and took it to someone. And that just translated into how we did it with car racing. If something happened, we just pulled it out and took it to Russell's shoulders. He'd say Yeah, for sure. Double overhead cams on the Yamaha's, single Lakondas? Slim Pushins: You got cat pulse and motorcycle motor too? You see Corby Scherb: Big ol big old Rotex six hundreds a piston in it that's like like this big around, single cylinder. Slim Pushins: You're an engine guy. You're definitely an engine guy. Corby Scherb: I understand it. It said intake intake oppression power exhaust. I got that. That's as far as it gets. Slim Pushins: I bet the kid didn't know that. Corby Scherb: The four strokes of an engine? No. Slim Pushins: He's a He just drives. He see? The kid's a cat paw guy too. Corby Scherb: Yeah. ryder laplante: Not a catpaw guy that I am. I ain't gonna tell you the science behind a motor. I don't know whatever Slim Pushins: What are you drinking? What is that? ryder laplante: my manager gave me a year well back. Gatorade. Slim Pushins: What flavor is that? Corby Scherb: Hydrations. It was warm today. ryder laplante: Cool blue and fruit punch. You know, it worked a long day today. Slim Pushins: Yeah, it was yeah, it was did you stay hydrated today? Corby Scherb: Did you? A had had ryder laplante: Yeah. Corby Scherb: a hell of a day? ryder laplante: Yeah, I did. Slim Pushins: Busy? Do you work do you work all day? Nice. what else? I've got a note here. I talked to Wes Crample writer y'all at in Abilene, y'all did the the Corby Scherb: Firing one on a Chevy, if I'm not mistaken, I believe, what is it? One A right. One A Doesn't it doesn't it fire across itself the whole time? ryder laplante: It's like 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2, I think. Corby Scherb: There you go. Slim Pushins: Say that again? Corby Scherb: Yeah, there you go. It just goes across itself. ryder laplante: 18436572 yeah 10 minus driver Slim Pushins: I'm damn sure not taking y'all's word for that. Corby Scherb: See? One eight four three look there you go, you got it, Roger. Patrick just said Slim Pushins: That's impressive. Corby Scherb: I just remember Wesley explaining to me that it basically like crosses itself the whole time. Slim Pushins: I know odds are on one side and evens on the other. Nope. I don't even know what you're gonna ask. I don't have to know what you're gonna ask and I can tell you I don't know. What are you gonna ask? Corby Scherb: Do you know how the cylinders are the I was I mean, I can be funny now that you already know that, but I mean, if Logan Sher if the car even so much is idled wrong, change the spark plugs. Slim Pushins: Yeah. That was a Sherb thing. Three hundred sets of spark plugs in a season. Corby Scherb: Taint Spark Flux. Dad, this thing has a fing hole in the bottom of it. Would you check the spark plugs? Slim Pushins: Spark plugs, are they clean? They're not gapped right. That's the only for the record, that was the only anything engine related that Corby would ever let me do is gap spark plugs and I took ownership of that. I'm a hell of I'm a hell of a spark plug gapper. ryder laplante: That's still a lot. Never change all. Corby Scherb: Mm mm. Just got if you get pulled over on the side of the road with a work truck, you call him and tell n and tell him it blew out both of your tires and you just say, Well, to check the oil? What? Slim Pushins: No. Moral support. Corby and I had a blowout on the way home from somewhere and didn't even know we had a blowout. Corby Scherb: Wake up. Slim Pushins: Did you hear that story, Ryder? Corby called me the next morning. I was about to leave the house to go to the shop 'cause I we were going somewhere that night. Corby's like, Hey, when did we have a blowout? And I was like, Like what year? What month? I don't I don't remember. 'Cause I knew we had a couple. He was like, No, last night. I was like, We didn't have a blowout last night. ryder laplante: Mm-mm. No. Better than a trailer fire, yeah. Corby Scherb: Got wheel bearings, got or yeah, yeah, trailer fire, that's better than the Slim Pushins: That's a g not say a great story, but that's ryder laplante: It's a great story, but I was asleep the whole time. Slim Pushins: They'd have Supertrucker to let you burn. ryder laplante: Thought we were at the truck stop and where we were getting out. be a loves, they got out pretty quick. A minutes later, dad's like, hey, what the are doing? You asleep? Yeah. He's like, get the fuck out. We're on fire. I'm like, Corby Scherb: Probably just like that too. ryder laplante: Yeah. okay. Slim Pushins: Did he go through the fire extinguisher? ryder laplante: firemen they were so confused they were so confused I just started walking they probably thought I was a bystander yeah I see I seen a fire extinguisher laying there I think they went through that I think they were dumping water on it went through my water Slim Pushins: Some homeless kid. Corby Scherb: What caught on fire? ryder laplante: It's just the bearings. I'm not a trailer guy. I couldn't tell you. Corby Scherb: I don't know. Super truckers on. He could tell us. Slim Pushins: Not a motor guy, not ryder laplante: No, Slim Pushins: a setup guy. ryder laplante: he's probably talking about Brandon. Slim Pushins: Big chief's on. Did he teach you did he teach you the firing order kid? ryder laplante: No, learn it off YouTube. Slim Pushins: that's great. Everybody learns stuff off of YouTube. anyway, what I was saying, y'all did the y'all did the flags to the kids, I guess during driver introductions. And I originally originally the the kids that had got flags from what ended up being the top five drivers were gonna get twenty bucks. And I guess the Claude father, Claude Estes, was like, That's not gonna work. So ryder laplante: Yeah. Slim Pushins: He put up twenty bucks for all twelve. I don't know if you knew that. Wes Cranville called me yesterday and told me that. But that's the kind of guy Claude is. You know, Corby. Corby Scherb: Abilene fan yeah and I Abilene fans deserve it. They're them guys are troopers. Because we say it's hot here, it's always hotter there. And they'll they'll pack it and they absolutely love Roger Le Plante. Slim Pushins: And those stands are straight up. When they found out when when they found when you posted that you were going to Abilene, the internet about lockdown. Lockdown. Corby Scherb: Satellites going off, yeah. Slim Pushins: People requesting stuff. ryder laplante: That's why I had to get there early, shoot some commercials for him. Corby Scherb: Man, I I'll ask you same as I asked Kyle Jones, you know, dude, what what's it like going to to me for you? It's you know, going back home, like going home and racing three fives, stuff like that. What what's is there a difference now that you're gone on the road so much? ryder laplante: Mmm, it might feel weird, sound weird, but I get more nervous at 305 shows now. I feel like I gotta, yeah, I gotta kind of do good or, you know what I mean? That's really about it. It's a lot of fun though. I sure do miss it every now and then. Corby Scherb: Mm. A little more like a expectations. Slim Pushins: More expected to perform. Corby Scherb: Yeah. Mm-hmm. It's a lot more chill than it is at the national races. ryder laplante: Yeah, you get a lot of more downtime as well. It's pretty nice Corby Scherb: Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. Slim Pushins: You just miss Corby and I? Is that what it is? Okay. ryder laplante: Yeah, I show up. Corby Scherb: Here we go. Here we go. Here we go. Here we can go. You're not even home right now, so it doesn't count. ryder laplante: Y'all go 20 minutes from my house once a week. Slim Pushins: Y'all don't show up. ryder laplante: Yep. Slim Pushins: He's got a point. Where ya at? Where ya at, kid? ryder laplante: in Levitt, Texas. Corby Scherb: I bet it's warm there. ryder laplante: Feels pretty good. Slim Pushins: What'd you do today, kid? ryder laplante: Sun's still out. Slim Pushins: What kind of you sent me a text earlier and I didn't quite understand it. I sent him a message this morning when I found out Jim wasn't gonna be able to make it and I was like, Hey, I know you're asleep now. Holler at me. This was at like what? Eight? Eight fifteen? Eight. When you wake up, holler at me. Nothing. Nothing for hours. I was there's no way his kid's still sleeping. Corby Scherb: I imagine slept the majority of the day. ryder laplante: Went ate some ate some barbecue. I woke up at four. Well, I'm not good at responding. I respond mentally. I won't. I'll look at it. And you got to text back or call me. Slim Pushins: anyway, what'd you do today? Over overcame some fears? ryder laplante: Ate some food. Yeah, I went to a What's up, please? Went to a pet store and, Slim Pushins: You said it was like an exotic pet? ryder laplante: Wait, I'm not there yet, dude. Corby Scherb: Hold on, dude, let him tell his story. Slim Pushins: Alright. I'm over both of you. ryder laplante: Okay. We're walking around and then my girlfriend, she sees a sign that says exotic pets back here. $3.50 a person. First off, I gave this lady at 20, it's seven bucks total. I'll give her a 20. I'll give her, she gives me a dollar back. I'm like, all right, let's just walk in here. As soon as I run the corner, I jump back. Huge snake. They've probably been fed in three days. They were snapping at me. Corby Scherb: Hm, hell of a deal. Tippin', whatever. Slim Pushins: Like I'm not good at math. ryder laplante: And then a girlfriend walks in there. She starts crying. It was a fun experience. So there's probably, yeah, she's, my, you know, my daddy took me all back. Corby Scherb: Yeah. Slim Pushins: Did she know what y'all were getting into? It went south quick. ryder laplante: I hear them laughing. My daddy took me and I'm like, okay, well let's do it. Sure enough, I don't remember that part. So it's probably. Slim Pushins: Well was your Corby Scherb: No, I don't do snakes. Not gonna happen. I'd have left. Slim Pushins: I know. ryder laplante: There was probably 35 animals in there and we seen three because we ran through it. Slim Pushins: I'd have given that twenty bucks to not go in there. Here, take this. Y'all enjoy your day. So yes, I think it's hard. Are you gonna go back? Corby Scherb: I'm done. ryder laplante: You know, she says she's sorry, but she's not sorry. She's sorry because... No, never. We got ice cream after more. Corby Scherb: You're not gonna go like the rattlesnake roundup in Sweetwater or anything like that? Slim Pushins: Take her to that. Corby Scherb: Heck that. You know how many r you know how many rattlesnakes are there? ryder laplante: I don't do snakes myself. We probably broke up three times in a span of 30 seconds. Slim Pushins: Tens of Corby Scherb: Mm. No, I don't do that. Slim Pushins: Does she call you by your middle name at any point when you're in there? ryder laplante: Rider MF. Slim Pushins: that's awesome. Was there anything in there but snakes? ryder laplante: Yep. Yeah, like there's like a dodo bird and couple... Slim Pushins: those are extinct. ryder laplante: That's on, I paint it. know, there's some cool bird, couple fluffies, lot of iguanas. Slim Pushins: Yeah, I think so. Just tells a fluffy. ryder laplante: Then I did it. Yeah. Slim Pushins: A fluffy A fluffy's an iguana? ryder laplante: No, like there's some fluffy animals and iguanas and lizards. Slim Pushins: It wasn't a learning experience because you have no idea what it was. Corby Scherb: Ok. ryder laplante: No, no, it was a it was like a punishment. Slim Pushins: That's awesome. Corby Scherb: This is what I get for listening to her. ryder laplante: Yeah, pretty much. Slim Pushins: let's see, what else are on the notes? How about the push truck running over Colemasito? Did you see that rider? ryder laplante: Yeah, I think I got the scoop on that. Slim Pushins: What you you got an exclusive? You got an exclusive for us? Corby Scherb: That that's that's a super tough spot. That's a super tough spot to be. ryder laplante: Yeah, I got an exclusive. Apparently he got fired off. You know, like a blah, blah, you know? Well, most of the time that push truck will probably go to the left, you know what mean? To get back to the, cause although it goes all the way around in the infield, it's probably just in a rush. I think they just fired once or twice and he got out of line and then just ran him over from there. Corby Scherb: Mm-hmm. Mm. Slim Pushins: That's a Corby Scherb: I wanna know what caught it right there right next to his elbow. ryder laplante: or the push bar. Corby Scherb: Baby. Slim Pushins: Or one of the tires. It didn't look like the here, I've got the video. Corby Scherb: One of the tires, curvo, curve, pull it together. One of the tires. ryder laplante: I might get copyrighted. Slim Pushins: Probably. See was probably that that bumper when he Corby Scherb: Yeah, is it just enough to fire off to get a gap between the push bumper and the bumper? Yeah. ryder laplante: Mm-hmm. Any other high limit pay them start money, which is four grand. Slim Pushins: That's not bad. Corby Scherb: Good for them. Slim Pushins: Let's see. Corby, what's on your show notes? ryder laplante: You guys got notes? Slim Pushins: Corby doesn't have notes. We don't fill Corby in on anything. What do you got, Corby? Let's see. Corby, big day yesterday. Yesterday was the anniversary of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walking on the moon. Corby Scherb: No. hm. Huh. Did we celebrate it as America? That's because it didn't happen. Slim Pushins: How do you feel about that? Wow. Like it's that it's not a national holiday. Corby Scherb: Yeah, yeah. I would imagine that'd be a national holiday. We have a holiday for everything else. Slim Pushins: The walking on the moon day? Ryder? Do we walk on the moon? Corby Scherb: Yeah. ryder laplante: Michael Jackson can moonwalk, so why can't they? Slim Pushins: Wow. let's see. Jim went to the ER. You probably don't know this, do you Jim kid. So what did he do? Did he do a flip into the pool, Corby? Corby Scherb: I don't even know. He might have tried, but he's not very agile. What me? What about me? Slim Pushins: You He's not as good at anything as you are? Corby Scherb: No, he isn't he'll never be as good as me at anything, ever. ryder laplante: Not even teaching math. Slim Pushins: Anyway, after he got out of the pool after he got out of the pool he was complaining about it he couldn't get water out of his ear and he was doing the he was doing the old dance trying to get water out of his ear. and then, you know, we thought that was the end of it. Then we get a text message the other day that his wife took him to the emergency room. Said he when he got home tried to sleep, maybe Corby Scherb: Mm he might get me there. ryder laplante: Is that why he pulled off? Corby Scherb: That that's what he's gonna say. Slim Pushins: Said that he he dropped some alcohol d down in there and it just lit him on fire. Said it brought him to his knees. Which tells me there's something else going on, but I'm no clearly no doctor. Corby Scherb: Apparently he ruptured his eardrum like back in the college days, 'cause him and his college buddies have some wild games that you would absolutely throw hands for around here. And apparently they tried to do as many flips as they could. He ruptured his eardrum and he had to have it surgically fixed. Well he thinks he might have partially torn it again. So his equilibrium's all off. But Slim Pushins: So yeah, he dropped some alcohol down in there and evidently it just burned all to hell. So he went to the he went to the ER so that they could clean it out and stuff. And in typical gym fashion, I was like, So what is it good now or what? And he goes, Well I don't have water in my ear. Okay. Alright. So there's that. Corby Scherb: We gonna say, you know, hydrations again with Jimmy and while he's over there sucking down a doctor pepper? Yeah. Slim Pushins: Knocking out Sunkist. ryder laplante: Okay. Okay. Slim Pushins: he did pull off mid race and I never I had to go get him on the infield. Yeah, he didn't do any damage though. And I didn't look at his did he did he rub everything off the outside of the tires? Corby Scherb: Says he clipped the wall. Says he clipped the wall. Mm mm. Yeah. Slim Pushins: Well, so now what? Corby Scherb: I don't know what happened. I don't have him on. Slim Pushins: Stasa said he thinks it was the door handle that got the frame of Masito's car. Corby Scherb: The plant, thought on upcoming three sixty nationals. ryder laplante: Make the show. know. Corby Scherb: Another day at the office. Slim Pushins: We're gonna qualify good. ryder laplante: I don't know. The place is weird. I to that Baker kid for some tips. He's like a local there now. How about Ryan Timms? Yeah, about Timms sweeping the weekend and everything. Pretty cool. Sure, Carbohydrate. Keep up with that. Nope. Slim Pushins: Well, does he run up there all the time? Corby Scherb: Yeah, man. Slim Pushins: I don't have that in my I don't have that in my notes. At all. Dusty wants to know, Ryder, who's faster, Colby or DJ Estes? ryder laplante: Mmm. Claude, but it depends how many people he's buried that morning. Slim Pushins: That's a pretty good answer. Big Chief said Jim has a floating ear. Dusty said what happened last KSP race? I don't know what he's talking about. Corby Scherb: Elaborate. Dusty. Slim Pushins: I don't know what unless I'm missing unless I'm missing something. Corby Scherb: Anyone gonna take down Carl Jones? Slim Pushins: that's Dusty's probably talking that question's probably about Bellville, three five in Bellville, I guess. Corby Scherb: he's saying what happened in the last K S P race? Anyone gonna take down Kyle Jones? I don't know man, Calgot's really good at Bellville, man. They got they got a really good car there. Ryder, you've been there the last couple of years and you're gonna miss it this year. ryder laplante: I think Lee goose can take him down. I don't know him, but that is pretty quick Corby Scherb: Think so? Slim Pushins: That's your that's your prediction? ryder laplante: Mm-hmm. Yep. Corby Scherb: I say they say it's a really cool race, man. everything with the fair going on. Slim Pushins: Yep. ryder laplante: If only that guy was going. Corby Sherb. If only Corby could go. Corby Scherb: I wasn't ever fast enough to go there. I didn't have the speed to ride or the plant. Slim Pushins: That's the truth. Hey, you had a hell of a run last time you were up there, didn't you? ryder laplante: For that race, yeah, it was pretty Corby Scherb: Rider? Yeah. Slim Pushins: Were you a hard ryder laplante: cool. Yep. I think up 17 or something. Slim Pushins: charger? Seventeen spots? ryder laplante: Yeah. Slim Pushins: He says it like it's nothing. Corby Scherb: What's it what's it like running there, man? that place is massive. Is there a big difference in a three five and a three sixty there? ryder laplante: A little bit. I mean, it's kind of boring until the A, I'm to be honest. But it's really all about the track's right. You just put your right ear up on the wall and just carry that speed like a dyno session to keep your momentum up. Corby Scherb: Mm-hmm. Yeah. Turn as little as possible. Not a crazy stagger. Mm hmm. Kinda like qualifying. ryder laplante: Mm, that's the trick. Yeah. Slim Pushins: But not ryder laplante: but not, we got more laps. Corby Scherb: Kerba, what what do you think you would do, man? Single car qualifying, if you were the only one on the racetrack? What's gonna go through your head? Slim Pushins: I mean I what's going through my head, don't screw it up. Don't make a highlight real. ryder laplante: What about a single guy push truck, what would you do? The only guy with the track pushing, what's your strap? Slim Pushins: Hollin' turning left. ryder laplante: You're not gonna go like, one two, one two, or... Slim Pushins: No. I'm gonna you talking about you're talking about pushing off a whole field? ryder laplante: Yeah, it's just you. You gotta figure it out. Slim Pushins: Pushing one off, making a whole lap. Pushing another one off, making a whole lap. We're not doing anything productive. Corby Scherb: I believe that. I guarantee it you skip two or three every time you come back around. Slim Pushins: Yeah. It doesn't matter as long as everybody gets popped off, right? ryder laplante: He'd probably be that guy that like crushes in your tail tank and you go, you in gear. You're just, yeah man, glasses falling off. Slim Pushins: No. I don't I don't bang into the back of people that don't deserve it, do I, Corby? Corby Scherb: You have plenty of times. Slim Pushins: Well, those times you deserved it. You were playing the F round game. Corby Scherb: What would I do? What are you talking about? Slim Pushins: Corby like to just we just be like nobody around. Corby just hammer the brakes trying to throw me over the handlebars. Wilson swerved at me. We we damn near we damn near touched tires at KSP before the feature. He thought it was funny. I thought it was funny. After the fact. It was Wilson's birthday. Happy birthday, Chad Wilson, the legendary Chad Wilson. there's a bunch of birthdays now. Jim's Jim's daughter's birthday. ryder laplante: He'll do that on a green. I don't know where you're surprised. It's Wilson's birthday a couple days ago. Should tell him happy birthday. Corby Scherb: Yep. Slim Pushins: Today's Justin Bates' birthday, isn't it, Corby? Did you wish him a happy birthday? Corby Scherb: Yes. Yes it is. Slim Pushins: I guess he's Jim said he's gonna try to run K S P Saturday night. Tame he's gonna tame try to tame the beast. Corby Scherb: Yeah. Ryder, what's your thoughts on KSP? H I wanna I wanna know this. Rider's Ryder's bluntly honest. ryder laplante: It can be cool. It can also suck. 410s, it's horrible, I'm gonna be honest. I'm not a fan of it in 410. 305s, it's all right though. Like for the Melton two years ago, that was pretty cool. Besides our 85 yellow flag laps. Corby Scherb: Mm-hmm. I I think it's been it's been better. It's been a lot better. ryder laplante: I'm here lately, I guess it's been good, from Kerbo's phone calls. But if I called you, you'd say it's horrible too. Corby Scherb: It's man, it's a place that I I don't know man, like they did there's just rarely ever in between. It's either slick bottom to top or or just hammer down around the tires. And this year it actually has been good. The tracks opened up a ryder laplante: Mm-hmm. probably heat races I would have to solve. Can't do nothing. Corby Scherb: I agree, man. Heat races at Kennedale are super tough. They're they're so one lined and I mean you can be four seconds faster than someone. I remember there's a heat race at Kennedale that you had a birdcage locking up on the right rear. ryder laplante: Yeah, and we still, I was just, you know what mean? Yeah. Corby Scherb: You still won. Like y y there's still like nothing that I could do behind you because unless you're like four seconds faster than someone, you just can't make a pass. Slim Pushins: So what do you do? ryder laplante: New and Elite went there. My 305, like 410 still couldn't really pass. My 305. Corby Scherb: Yeah. Mm-hmm. Slim Pushins: Corby refused to sign autographs Saturday night. Corby Scherb: Not a racer. They asked for racers. An old wash tip has been. Probably never was. Slim Pushins: Right, did you hear that Corby got recognized at the oil and lube place? ryder laplante: Yeah, I did hear you got the family disc camera, Slim Pushins: Employee. You got the employee discount. Corby Scherb: It's just 'cause I've lived in the same town the whole life. ryder laplante: They probably Slim Pushins: No it's not. ryder laplante: let you pet in front of every single one of too. Yeah. They did. Corby Scherb: Nah, it wasn't like that. It wasn't like that. Slim Pushins: Yeah. Come on in. Come on into bay bay number three. Corby Scherb: It wasn't like that. Slim Pushins: It was like that. Ryder Ryder gets free meals at Dairy Queen in Belleville. Corby Scherb: For sure. Ryder's nationally known. I only get recognized every now and then indicator. Slim Pushins: Decatur. We got recognized a couple of weeks ago as the podcast guy. I think it really bummed Corby out. ryder laplante: Not a race car driver no more. Slim Pushins: Yeah, it's like you're the dude that's you're the dude that's on podcast. Corby Scherb: I'm not. ryder laplante: Where was that at? Corby Scherb: What do you get I can't know? Slim Pushins: Yeah. Her husband actually well she knew Corby from way back, I guess. What did y'all used to race together, Corby? Corby Scherb: She raced micros Logan. It's the granddaughter of Bo Rowden. Ashley. She used to be on the race ever at Kennedale. I've we've known her for a long time. I'm sure if she she was on the race ever for a long time there. And her husband still races. I I think he races a factory stock there. Slim Pushins: That's what you need to get in, Ryder. When you go get into that modified. Let's make that happen. ryder laplante: I bet I could do something about that. I don't know where out though. Slim Pushins: Huh? Corby Scherb: I got br I I keep t saying that Steve Rutherford needs to let me jump in his modified. Slim Pushins: Yeah, but does Steve Rutherford say that you're gonna jump in that? Corby Scherb: I don't think so. ryder laplante: I'm gonna get turbo in the car though. But you know, bomber. Slim Pushins: I think Those crowned Vicks. ryder laplante: Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Slim Pushins: Do a Crown Vic race. Corby, what are you gonna do if you race me in a Crown Vic? Corby Scherb: I'm gonna cut the racetrack to T bone you. ryder laplante: I'm Slim Pushins: Just you wa you literally just wouldn't give me that moment. Corby Scherb: No, I'd be leading the race, you'd be in dead last and I'll cut straight across the infield. Slim Pushins: Just to take me out? Corby Scherb: Absolutely. Slim Pushins: That's PS. Alright. Jim's got like all sorts of stuff lined up for me that I asked to not screw this up. But guess what? We had to try we had to take two takes for the live. I think this was like this was a this is what led up to a fight. Watch these first cars. ryder laplante: Okay. Corby Scherb: Sport compacts? It's gotta be. Slim Pushins: Just banging on each other. Corby Scherb: Parked in. Price tagged. Slim Pushins: Straight in straight into the wall. Well, he didn't like it. He didn't like it and he came back around. I guess that was I didn't I wouldn't even look at the flag stand. I guess that was ryder laplante: It looks like I-55, oh my god. Corby Scherb: Might be. Slim Pushins: Watch this dude ryder laplante: It is. Slim Pushins: watch this Watch this dude come back around and just wham! Then they decide to park it. Corby Scherb: Full body guys. Slim Pushins: Alright, now here is the aftermath. Watch these guys. I have my own opinions about this. I want to know what y'all think. Take your helmets off. ryder laplante: It's a good rule. Slim Pushins: Dude's car's still rolling. It's probably still in gear. ryder laplante: Why does he hoppin'? Corby Scherb: Is that an official standing there to the left? Slim Pushins: In the red jacket? Corby Scherb: Yeah, just chillin'. ryder laplante: you Slim Pushins: Look, now he's gonna take his helmet off. what do we got here? Nothing. That was his crew guy. he's still ch he's still chirping. ryder laplante: Big Chief said that's what he does, that's invalid. Slim Pushins: What's that? Corby Scherb: Yeah, I I've I've seen him get loud. Slim Pushins: Big chief? Corby Scherb: Just let know. ryder laplante: Why didn't they give that guy a high five? Did see that? Slim Pushins: That was like I'm assuming that was his crew guy. Corby Scherb: Just let them know. Slim Pushins: Don't take that. ryder laplante: What about that late model wreck at Port Royal? Did y'all see that? Slim Pushins: No? Corby Scherb: I didn't see that one. ryder laplante: Hello, if I'm looking up. Corby Scherb: Kerbo, get on it. Slim Pushins: Yeah. I'm lucky I've got what I've got. ryder laplante: I like it. Put it up there. Slim Pushins: I don't even know what I have no idea what you're talking about. Jim's got all these loaded. I can't go search for a a video. All right. Well you gonna tell us about it or is that is that's the end of it? Is that it? ryder laplante: No, I mean, a video for it. Corby Scherb: That w that was Ryder's story. You need to pull up the video. No, you need to pull up the video. ryder laplante: Yeah. Slim Pushins: It was it's over? Did you get your hair cut today, Ryder? I should have saved that that picture. ryder laplante: No. except what? Slim Pushins: Picture you sent us earlier. ryder laplante: I Slim Pushins: Nana's on too, Ryder. ryder laplante: don't know what she said. Slim Pushins: Big Chief throws the helmet. Did he used to race? ryder laplante: yeah, all the time. Yeah. Slim Pushins: Really? Corby Scherb: Yes. He's told us about that. On his episode. Slim Pushins: He we only talk Did he? Corby Scherb: Yes. Slim Pushins: I don't pay attention. Corby Scherb: Clearly. ryder laplante: probably thinks it's horseback racing or the land run. Corby Scherb: Buffalo. Slim Pushins: That's what we talk about. That's what Big Chief and I talk about, powwows and shit. Corby Scherb: You gotta Man, we gotta tell that we gotta tell that story. I don't think that's ever been public. Slim Pushins: Which store? ryder laplante: And it's warm. Corby Scherb: Was w wasn't we at Nationals? Wasn't we in Eagle? When Kerba walked up to you and was like, Do you seriously live on the reservation? Yeah, like what what do you ryder laplante: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Slim Pushins: No. Go ahead. Go ahead. ryder laplante: I don't remember it but... Corby Scherb: He Kerbal walked up to you and asked you something about the reservation. Slim Pushins: I was asking him normal Indian like he's Indian questions like life on the reservation and I was like half joking, half not. I was like like they just let anybody on and he was like Yeah? And I was like, Really? Like I don't know. I had these visions of it looking like a damn military installation. Like there's like a front gate, are you Indi Are you Indian? Nope. Turn around. And I was like, so they just Corby Scherb: And then Ryder popped off, like yeah Rider pops off and says, Yeah, we still ride on a horseback and chase down Buffalo ryder laplante: Kermit believed it for a long time. Corby Scherb: yeah, for sure. Slim Pushins: You're so quiet. People don't ever see that personality. And then he just comes out of nowhere. Yeah. Deep in the reservation. White the d white men can't go. That's where we still hunt buffalo and live in teepees. ryder laplante: Well then, it blew your mind they still bring this firewood. The reservation does. I I did. I used to have to stack it for Nana and Pawpaw every weekend. Slim Pushins: You didn't even know that. No, you learned so much. Y it blew your mind so much. No, the Indians do. Corby Scherb: Does this big chief Moe is yard? ryder laplante: No, you don't. It's And he goes to the Choctaw Center or Chickasaw and they feed him dinner and breakfast and lunch.

Corby Scherb: Forty bucks. Yeah. In Kerba's mind they're they're wearing they're wearing the headdress, the whole thing. ryder laplante: They got feathers and they're singing. Slim Pushins: Steve Dixon said, What's up, my brother writer? ryder laplante: I don't get out such a big deal. What's up Steve? It's a cook and man right there. Slim Pushins: Who? He's what? ryder laplante: Steve is a cooking dude. Slim Pushins: anyway, yeah, I was like, Are you you tell me that they just show up? And he was like, Yeah, that's just part of the deal.

Calculator. ryder laplante: Yeah, free healthcare too. Corby Scherb: You go to college for free. ryder laplante: Our education is still the worst, by the way. I don't know what's going on. Corby Scherb: For sure. We got guys like Jimmy teaching. Slim Pushins: Well look how well you turned out. Should be taught private school kids. let's see, what else? Corby Scherb: I know. That's where he went to school. Slim Pushins: No. I'm talking when he was in that's th I don't think that's in that town where the private school he taught at was in in high school. It was a high school. Corby Scherb: That that's where he went to college. He probably went there. Slim Pushins: No, no, let's see. What about did y'all see the the flyover? The blue angel you see that rider? The blue angel flyover that everybody's complaining about? ryder laplante: Yeah, that's pretty cool. Yeah, I don't get the complaint. Slim Pushins: I don't either. This is awesome. If this doesn't give you goosebumps, dude. That's incredible. Corby Scherb: Those people are those those I d I'm sure there's some females at this point now. Absolutely incredible. The craziest stuff you could do. Slim Pushins: You talking about p the pilots? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So then Pete Hegseth came out and said the flybys will continue until morale improves. So naturally Jim made up a t shirt that we're gonna put out sometime this week. we're I th I think I posted a picture of it. Said the episodes will continue until morale improves. I thought it was pretty cool. all right, what else Corby Scherb: Yeah. ryder laplante: Okay. Slim Pushins: Ryder, what's next for you? Let's see what let me throw this up and see what happens.

Are you sure that doesn't say for Northwest? Corby Scherb: non wing. I'm pretty sure that stands for well yeah, or you can do Thunder Valley West. Pretty sure that Louisiana is east of us. ryder laplante: There's some big names going to Amarillo by the way like Ricky Lewis and Slim Pushins: like. Corby Scherb: Yeah. Slim Pushins: That's it. That's all you got. ryder laplante: Katie McCreary. Yeah, that's all I got. Maybe. Corby Scherb: Caden Creary for sure. Slim Pushins: Okay. Well now we're just spreading rumors.

Corby Scherb: Yeah, Bellville is two weeks. Not not this weekend but next. Slim Pushins: August seventh. ryder laplante: I don't know if I'd race KSP that weekend. Corby Scherb: I I I would imagine that some people that are going to Bellville are gonna take this weekend off. Be the smart thing. Bellville pays good, it's it's a big deal. Slim Pushins: I know DJ has already parked his primary car after they got it all dialed in and he went straight to the front. at to the the push in the cushion power rankings. Stands for no winner. Because the winner won't be able to buy tires. That's pretty good. Super trucker coming in with the one liners. Corby Scherb: Super trucker doing super trucker things. Slim Pushins: What's next for you, kid? ryder laplante: Vodge City this Saturday, ASCIS. Slim Pushins: You like that place? Corby, you ever been there?

For anybody that's not on the live that's gonna end up watching this, Ryder's talking smack about non sprint car racing and his manager didn't like that. decided to chime in. I'm surprised that that's the only thing that she's chimed in about all night long. No he doesn't, LOL. Corby Scherb: Long. ryder laplante: That's all I will mean. Slim Pushins: Ken said that's not funny, Corby. Kinda funny. She was anti sprint car racing. Bad. Till Ryder started Corby Scherb: Met she met some dude at the chili bowl, right? ryder laplante: Yup. I kind of remember him. Corby Scherb: It's also a pleasant. I remember a couple phone late night phone calls that week. A couple late night phone calls. ryder laplante: yeah? I don't remember one of them. Slim Pushins: I saw him pre that meeting and I don't I don't that's interesting. Supertrucker said they're grocery getters. ryder laplante: You Slim Pushins: See what you started, Corby? Corby Scherb: I didn't do either, I just laughed. Slim Pushins: All right. What else? Corby, what else you got on your notes? Anything? Corby Scherb: Yeah, that's a man. Wish Emma a happy birthday. Slim Pushins: Motor and lifter talk. We talked about cat paws. Corby Scherb: yeah. Slim Pushins: Corby getting you wanna tell Ryder what happened when we were playing ping pong? Friday night? Corby Scherb: No, we got we got absolutely annihilated throwing bags. And then you short knocked it playing ping pong, trying to go just a seven. Who plays a seven? Slim Pushins: We played two games. Corby Scherb: To seven. ryder laplante: Was he playing it with the pong or his belly? Slim Pushins: Okay. Yes. Two games. Two games in a row. And he was not a happy camper. Corby's not like losing, he damn sure doesn't like losing to me. ryder laplante: You're showing me a ski tune. Corby Scherb: Should have. Slim Pushins: It was it wasn't offered. ryder laplante: Mm-mm. Slim Pushins: Would've been cool though, I'd have beat him at that. I guarantee you that's something that I could beat him at. Alright. Challenge. That's gonna happen. And it's gonna be videoed. Corby Scherb: Absolutely not. Shotgun out like this, right? Slim Pushins: Something like that. ryder laplante: probably put a dead shell in. Slim Pushins: Everything else everything else Corby just excels at in life in general, like he just excels at whatever he wants to. But I beat him at Pong p ping pong and I'm gonna beat him at skeet shooting too. Corby Scherb: We can ride unicycles together if you want. We we can try to juggle. Slim Pushins: We're not gonna r do any such thing. No. Corby Scherb: One hand to clap. Slim Pushins: Show us. We are off the rails. Rider, can you ride a unicycle? ryder laplante: No, I don't want to. Corby Scherb: He could climb up on the giraffe with a with ease compared to us. We had a giraffe, we had a six foot one, as kids growing up. You have to climb up on it and then take off riding. They're actually easier, I know people would think that's nuts. A six foot one is easier to ride. You just have a lot more time and the motion of finding your balance. Slim Pushins: Before you hit the ground. Corby Scherb: Yeah. Or you're like my dad and let the shoes come untied and wrap up in the pedals and then it it absolutely slams you into the ground. ryder laplante: You knocked your eye out. No good. Corby Scherb: That's probably what happened. Slim Pushins: Exactly. All right. ryder laplante: Good super focused, Shane. Corby Scherb: Yeah. Slim Pushins: It's not showing all of it. Corby Scherb: He's gotta keep it out of the wall. Slim Pushins: Yeah, it was a rough ryder laplante: What's your plan there, Creteve? Corby Scherb: No KSP, go to Belleville. ryder laplante: give it off the wall, that's what I mean. Slim Pushins: Keep it keep it out of the wall. Corby Scherb: keeping it out of wall? man, like stop running out talent. teaching him, yeah, he just doesn't he doesn't have a ton of time in big cars and like understanding dirty dirty air and driving up to the back of packs. I I think that it it's still such a learning curve. You were you were really good at paying attention to people around you and like understanding racers and I think that that's that's a fault of Braxton of he thinks everyone is just as fast. And even though he just ran them down by a half a track, in his mind, like he's not that much faster than them. He just needs to get around And it's the patience factor of I caught them, but now I gotta figure out how to pass them. I and it's it's something that comes in time. I don't know, like you were you were a one off. Yeah, Colby Subfield's always been really good at that. You know, Landon Thompson struggled with that stuff, but ryder laplante: Mm-hmm. Corby Scherb: I think there was many a night that I watched you race that you probably had the potential to win, but you didn't just because you didn't take like unnecessary risk. And I think that that's where Braxton is right now is taking the unnecessary risk in moments and it ca I you know it, dude, you're a racer, you might only have one shot at this guy, and if I don't take it right now, then I don't get another one, so then you run third. But running third sometimes is better than beating the car apart just to put it back together and put it in the trailer. ryder laplante: Yeah. Mm-hmm. I agree, sucks. Cracking a car? Corby Scherb: So for sure. Slim Pushins: Everybody everybody learns it at different times. Well we talked the last couple episodes about Landon Thompson. His learning curve has has, you know, developed and he's keeping everything harnessed and he's had he's having a a great year so far, so it happens. All right. Riders get antsy. He's got Mexican food to go eat. Is that still the plan? ryder laplante: Corvo's got the cartel to go meet. Corvo's got the couch to go beat, so. Slim Pushins: Yeah, he does. Yeah, he does too. All right, well. There we go. I'm finding stuff. We appreciate everybody joining in tonight. Corby Scherb: This is bad. This is really bad. Slim Pushins: This is the Masters theme song. It's the Masters, Corby. You need to get out a little bit more. ryder laplante: Turn it off. You've never played a game of golf in your life. Yeah. Slim Pushins: Me? I was on the golf team in high school. Corby Scherb: Mm-hmm. ryder laplante: Wii Sports don't count anyways. Slim Pushins: All right. Got jokes. Alright. We're getting out of here. We appreciate everybody for joining us. Ryder, thanks for filling in in the last minute for for Jim doing dad things. ryder laplante: That'll do it. Her to boys. Slim Pushins: Have fun and Corby Scherb: Thanks to the kid always pulling off the tough shots, you know, showing up like it's nothing. I think he was asleep whenever he first got on. Slim Pushins: He did, he logged on and I was like, All right, he's gonna do this from bed. Corby Scherb: Alright, we'll see everyone in a week.
