Speaker 1 00:00:05 This is Raised Rowdy Racing with Caleb Conrady and Dawson Edwards.
Speaker 2 00:00:13 Hey, I'd like to, good morning. Good morning. I'd like to make a formal apology. <laugh>. Well, let's intro first then we'll let you Oh man. I like making formal apologies right off the roof, man. We, uh, welcome to another episode of Race Ride Racing. Y'all, we got all episode of our episode 10. Yeah, episode Amarillo. It's your favorite. Uh, I'm gonna say Scott Riggs. Well, you can do what you like, but we're modern NASCAR fans around here. <laugh>, but yeah, we got Dawson Edwards over there. I'm Caleb Conrady. We got our on-camera producer, Nikki t I'm on camera now. Look on camera. I know. We always bring it up, but it's so funny. You never know when you're gonna have one when you're not. Even though we're not always on camera. No, not always. One of these years. Yeah, we'll get there. I have a good view of you right here.
Speaker 2 00:01:00 I do look great. That works out pretty damn good. I like that peachy shirt. Yeah, it's from the internet. I also really like that hat. I was gonna say that earlier. It's very fresh and clean. I love how there's like a logo and then a c the crown head lo the c h logo on top of it. That's pretty dope. Yeah. Very nice. Very nice. Very nice. Yeah. I hadn't even noticed it yet. Yeah, that's cool. Heck yeah. I love that. God bless Crown Heads. We love you. Hell yeah. Give us more cigars. Haha. <laugh> always could use a few more. Uh, hell yeah. Well we had Street course Baby A Weird Race yesterday. Very weird race. Like I said, record, record breaking uh, rainfall yesterday in Chicago. Heck yeah. If we're gonna break any kind of records, we might might as well break 'em all at once.
Speaker 2 00:01:41 So Record breaking rain. Record breaking wind. It was really, it was really, that's what I was saying. I need to make a formal apology. I'm all apologizing NASCAR because I, we gave that race so much shit before it happened and it actually turned out to be a race, a damn good race. I enjoyed the heck outta myself. I'll eat my crow. I'll eat this hat once we're done. And that's a big, yeah. I forgot you said that last week. Oh yeah. I will eat the hat. I'll have to, man. And it's an old ass hat too. We're going tubing later on. So I brought it like it's this old Kevin Harvick hat I had, but that's, this thing is so dirty. It's been in so many lakes and rivers and drop on the ground. Maybe you should cook it. I probably should. Maybe I should wash it first.
Speaker 2 00:02:21 Like a potato before I boil it. Just like put a rope on it and let it tow behind you in the water just to clean it up, you know. Yeah. In the, in the Harpeth River. Yeah. <laugh>. How clean it right up. It'll, it'll come out nice and squeaky clean man. I'll put a little drip of Tide in the, into the water as I go along. God damn. You put it in the hat. It might turn white the way it's supposed. I don't remember if that how was white or not. I think it was like an off white, but it is an off white at this point. Okay. You know how this is random, but you know how we're talking about the gypsies and going to the guys that sell this stuff. The guy that gave Caleb that hat was the guy he met back in the day. That was one of those guys. Yeah. But he was like based outta Murphysboro
Speaker 3 00:02:59 And uh, he like sat up at the fairgrounds races and all this stuff. And did he just give you that or give you more stuff as well?
Speaker 2 00:03:05 No, he, uh, he, so I used to work in Murfreesboro down at Toots, uh, serving chicken wings and all that as a manager.
Speaker 3 00:03:11 Pheno the best, uh, chicken finger salad ever. Oh,
Speaker 2 00:03:15 Hell yeah. We got him all the time. But yeah, I was working there for a while and he would come in all the time and his family was super nice. They were always real easy to work with. They'd come in like once a month and treat themselves, so I'd always help him out. But we eventually ran into each other at the, um, the fairgrounds, wasn't it down at the fairgrounds? Yeah. Yeah. I had no idea that he was in nascar. And we met at him at the fairgrounds. I was like, Howard, what are you doing down here, man? And he was selling, uh, cars behind the, uh, behind the booth up
Speaker 3 00:03:41 There. He had like a tent or a trailer like set up, do you know, doing the thing. Tons
Speaker 2 00:03:45 Of die casts. Yeah. And everything. I was like, this is cool as hell. I had no idea you did this. And he was like, oh really? I had no idea you were in nascar. And we were just buddies after that. So every time he'd come in, he'd bring me lug nuts from Pit Road. He'd bring me, I was sick. Little cars. He'd, he brought me a, I know the hat. He brought me a, one of my harvick cars is from him cuz he was a Harvick fan.
Speaker 3 00:04:02 I was about to say he must've been a Harvick
Speaker 2 00:04:03 Guy. Yeah, he was a Harvick guy. But yeah, he would give us a, he would give me stuff all the time. And this is one of the best fitting hats I've ever had. I've worn the heck outta this thing. It is almost wore out. We can tell. Yeah. Yeah. <laugh>,
Speaker 3 00:04:14 I love this hat. There was something, I can't remember what, but, uh, he was like, if y'all ever, ever look at anything like let us know. And there was something I was looking for like a Larson car or something.
Speaker 2 00:04:24 You were looking for, I think the Larson Chicago win car.
Speaker 3 00:04:26 Is that what it was?
Speaker 2 00:04:27 Yeah, that's my guess. I'm
Speaker 3 00:04:28 Sure that was the race car, whatever it was. He ended up having it and like gave it to Caleb at Toots and then Caleb gave it to me. I was like, dude's cool as fuck.
Speaker 2 00:04:36 Crazy. Yeah, he was a great dude. I haven't seen him in forever, so I would have to.
Speaker 3 00:04:40 I be bet if we go to a fairgrounds race, he's set up.
Speaker 2 00:04:42 Probably. I'd have to run into him there. So hopefully Howard. Hope you're doing good. Sounds like we gotta go to a fairgrounds race.
Speaker 3 00:04:48 Dude. We should. Well it's really fun if
Speaker 2 00:04:50 You're gonna twist my arm. Digt <laugh> Fair
Speaker 3 00:04:53 Fairgrounds race is really fun. And then, uh, Nashville gave the sprint cars so much shit with like noise and timer strength and all that. Like the world of Outlaws guys, they had Tora. No, they run all day. They had pr It's all like, it's like a two day show practice qualifying the race, everything. But dude, one of the top tier coolest things I've ever seen was when they put dirt on that bitch and the world of Outlaw cars raced on it, made, sold out quarter mile track, two nights, nights in a row, Nashville. And, but they had to like, cut 'em short and they ended up pissing everybody off. So I think the world of Outlaws are like, yeah, fuck Nashville. We'll just go back to racing in the woods. So
Speaker 2 00:05:31 <laugh>, we'll go to Duck River. Yeah,
Speaker 3 00:05:33 Duck River is also very close. I'd say very close. It's like an hour and a half away, but it's also very dope place. It's so dope that they don't even take credit cards. It's cash on. Yeah. Dang.
Speaker 2 00:05:43 Clarksville up there. That was pretty neat. One.
Speaker 3 00:05:45 Clarksville is awesome. Uh, it's hard to write off cash, you
Speaker 2 00:05:48 Know.
Speaker 3 00:05:48 It is, it is <laugh>. But there's some good racetracks around Middle Tennessee if we're ever here on a weekend that we could all go to. They race every single Saturday night at Clarksville. Hell yeah. And Clarksville is only 30 minutes from us, so.
Speaker 2 00:05:59 Heck yeah. No, it'd be
Speaker 3 00:06:01 A Yeah. Duck River though. You, you go like, you're riding the Duck River. I, I went to, I, the only time I ever went there was right before Covid. I mean, COVID was already a thing and we went down there and it's so far back in the middle of nowhere that I was just like, is there really a racetrack back here? Like really? Like we're in, we're in like the middle of bum fuck nowhere.
Speaker 2 00:06:21 That's all good. Dirt tracks should
Speaker 3 00:06:23 Be <laugh>. Exactly. We get there and I'm not, don't know, it's cash only. So I'm trying to pay, I don't, I luckily I was with Hu my buddy Houston Phillips, a guy wrote, raised on Redwood. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. He uh, he had enough cash for me to him, me to bum off of him. So he paid for my way in. But yeah, like it's a good thing to know when you drive a fucking hour and a half, a million of nowhere. There's no atm, there's no civilization. So like if you don't brand cash, you're sol. It's
Speaker 2 00:06:47 Like a good
Speaker 3 00:06:49 Just go home festival music stuff. Just head home if you didn't Brand cash.
Speaker 2 00:06:52 Yeah. It's music Festival style. Yeah. You gotta be prepared for that. You can't go to the Renaissance Fair and expect to use a credit card. They're gonna look at you and call you a witch. Well,
Speaker 3 00:06:59 Every other dirt track I've been to has took credit cards. So, well, duck River's just not on that list. I guess. I
Speaker 2 00:07:06 I totally get it though. It's like going to a high school football game. It's like we just take cash around here. We don't want the government to know about this extra money we're making on the side of this concession stand. God bless America. Thank God for it man.
Speaker 3 00:07:17 Anyways, uh, get Rock this weekend.
Speaker 2 00:07:19 We should start with the trick crew stuff. I'm with you on that. Yeah.
Speaker 3 00:07:22 It's become the thing. Start with the trick crew, then go into the Yeah. The NASCAR event. I
Speaker 2 00:07:27 Do like the format. I do like the format. Yeah. Uh, yeah, it was cool. It was, I had a real fun time doing that show. It was a great damn time.
Speaker 3 00:07:35 Yeah. I've al I'm a, I'm a big kid Rock fan and always have been. So getting to, I've never seen Kid Rock Live, so getting to see it like the dude's been doing it a long time in that place. Was sold the fuck out.
Speaker 2 00:07:47 Oh yeah. Bridgestone Arena Sold Out is one of the craziest things I've ever seen because I've only ever been in there one time I wouldn't even had a show. I know your first time going there was for, uh, you said Brantley Gilbert Area Church.
Speaker 3 00:07:57 Mm-hmm. <affirmative> and Blackberry Smoke.
Speaker 2 00:07:59 Blackberry Smoke. What's your Hell?
Speaker 3 00:08:00 A line that was my dream show. Hell of a 16 year old me that was, that was as good as it got. Like I was massive. Massive fans of all three of them. Like that is a dream show for me,
Speaker 2 00:08:10 Dog. 29 year old me. I still think that's kind of one of those ones
Speaker 3 00:08:13 I would absolutely still fucking, but like, you know me, I'm like losing my mind, you know, back then. Oh yeah. I had gotten to see in my high school days Blackberry Smoke. I think they still do it. They played the Tabernacle in Atlanta. Mm-hmm. <affirmative> every single day after Thanksgiving. Like that was like their thing. They're an Atlanta based band. So that was like their thing. They did. So I saw, uh, I saw 'em a few times at the Tabernacle. They played River Jam one year when I was like a freshman or sophomore and then saw him in Nashville. And I, I mean I was just eat up with Blackberry smoke back then. Hell yeah. I love Blackberry smoke. Me too, dude. Uh, I was talking to Bud, our guitar tech, this was one of those first conversations we had when we realized we loved racing and music and we were like the same person in Moon Pies. In Moon Pies. And he was like, uh, he's like, bla he's like, Blackberry Smoke plays every genre of music that I love. And he was like, it's like country, southern rock and blues. He was like, I fucking love that. And I was like, you and me both dude. Oh, could
Speaker 2 00:09:14 You not?
Speaker 3 00:09:15 Yeah. That was my first show ever there. But I've been, I've been to a bunch of things at the Bridgestone. I I didn't know you'd only been there once.
Speaker 2 00:09:22 I worked an event when I was at Belmont because they have this thing called the Service Corps at Belmont. And if you've never heard of that, it's basically a way for people in the industry to get free labor out of college students
Speaker 3 00:09:33 Of little children
Speaker 2 00:09:34 For school credit. It's kind of that exact thing. Like you went there and you got points for being a part of some organization, but really what they were doing was just sending you to do stuff that nobody else wanted to get paid to do. So they would just, like, they had us before the CMA Awards when I was a wee little bitty freshman, 18 year old, didn't know what the heck I was doing. They had all these freshman kids putting together the gift bags for all the celebrity guests at the CMA awards. It's kind of cool though. It was weird and it was, I mean don't you're honest, cool.
Speaker 3 00:10:03 As a kid would've have been all about it. Yeah.
Speaker 2 00:10:04 Yeah. As like an 18 year old kid. I was like, this is so cool. I'm having so much fun. Yeah. That was the, that was the only Service Corps job I ever actually enjoyed because we got to go backstage, see all like the media rooms and everything that they had set up. I'd never seen a big event like that. So then we went in there, we set 'em all down. So you gotta see the stage. They were harping on you like do not pull your cell phone out and take a picture of the stage or we'll kick you outta here so fast
Speaker 3 00:10:28 <laugh>
Speaker 4 00:10:28 Well they're trying to teach you how to like be around the scene and not like, you know,
Speaker 3 00:10:33 Ger out. Be weird about it.
Speaker 2 00:10:33 Yes, yes. Very true. That is exactly what it was. Yeah. And I mean on one hand I'll give them crap cuz there was some jobs that I went to for Service Corps that were straight up like, Hey help me lift this stuff and be a stage hand that's not paid <laugh>. Yeah. So there was some of that. Yeah. But then there was that one that was cool, but it was, I mean you're putting together like $10,000 gift bags that were about the size of this fridge right here for these celebrities to sit it next to their chair. And I'm just sitting there thinking, I know Blake Shelton ain't gonna pick up that big ass bag and walk outta here and look like a goof, carrying a giant bag full of stuff. Yeah. <laugh>. I know that's not how this is going down. Why are we, ah, they'll,
Speaker 3 00:11:07 His tour manager's gonna carry that
Speaker 2 00:11:09 Out. Hey little production assistant. Can you go pick that up outta my chair there? Yeah. I don't wanna look like the idiot trying to lift that thing. Cause I promise you they weighed like, like at least 70 pounds. Geez. It was just random shit that people wanted him to sponsor or whatever. That's
Speaker 3 00:11:22 A lot.
Speaker 2 00:11:22 It was crazy. That
Speaker 3 00:11:23 Is a massive gift back.
Speaker 2 00:11:24 Yeah. And, but it was just wild. Cuz that's the only time I've ever seen the inside of the Bridgestone for an event like that. I don't even, other than pbr I don't think I even go to the Bridgestone for hardly anything. Cause that was really neat. It was, it was definitely cool. I forgot what it's like to be looking down and see. Oh yeah. All of those. I mean it's crazy. There's three levels in there. I forget how big the fricking Bridgestone actually is. Yeah. Like it's a huge arena.
Speaker 4 00:11:47 It's a solid arena too. I've been to a lot of hockey arenas and it's, it's pretty good.
Speaker 2 00:11:51 Yeah.
Speaker 3 00:11:51 Yeah. I don't never been to I, I don't know the first thing about hockey. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>, but, uh, Brittany Hitch, she's way high up at Bridgestone and does something and she's hooked us up with tickets and like, uh, the, the front glass tickets, whatever, like down there at the very front we're like second row dude. It's like a recliner. I mean it's nice and soft and big. They move back and forth. Like I saw the seats up top and it's like, I don't think me and you could fit in 'em. Like they're, that they're, they're like this wide, they're little bitty and then the seats that you go down, I mean like two of us could fit in one. Like it's like I'm kicked back in the living room kind of thing, which is super dope. Yeah. I fit in it. I just can't
Speaker 2 00:12:28 Get up good. You know, like I get
Speaker 3 00:12:30 In there. Yeah. And I'm
Speaker 2 00:12:31 Just like, I'm just there.
Speaker 3 00:12:32 I've seen until this hill is over. I've seen Matt, I've seen Matt McKinney. We sat in some one's way high up and I was like, how the fuck are you gonna get in here dude mean? He's like, he's like 12 foot tall. So Yeah. I mean
Speaker 2 00:12:44 He could be sitting down and blocking the view for two rows behind him.
Speaker 3 00:12:47 Dude, dude, for real, for real. He's sitting down and as tall as people are standing up in the thing. <laugh>. But uh, yeah, I've been, I've been to concerts at the Bridgestone. Been, I've been to PBR once and I've been to uh, some hockey games. But yeah.
Speaker 2 00:13:00 You
Speaker 3 00:13:01 Know the setup's socra, the setup. It looks different every time you go in though. It does. Every time I've been in there has been for a different type of thing. Yep. So it never looks, it's, it's the same place but it just never to the eye. It looks different.
Speaker 2 00:13:13 Yeah. One thing I didn't notice until I looked at the seat map, but the Bridgestone is actually designed to be a concert venue. You could tell because they have all these sections on one side of it. But that would be the side that the stage would face. But if you look at the seat map, there's only like two levels of seating on the other side. So you can tell that they don't even bother putting all that extra seating over there. They just put it all on one side. Cause they know this is gonna be a major concert venue.
Speaker 3 00:13:37 They have a, uh,
Speaker 2 00:13:38 That's real smart. I'd never even notice that. Cause usually there's symmetrical and this one had all this extra seating going up.
Speaker 3 00:13:44 Uh, see I didn't know that. I didn't necessarily know if that was on purpose or what, but if you've been to a uh, pres game, like they have that like stage sent in the built in the center, you know? Mm-hmm. <affirmative>, like Co Cody's played there like a bunch of people we know have played there and stuff. But, uh, it's cool for that to be the Nashville thing. Like it is set up for music stuff and they do have like all the, the, the Tim McGraw thing that goes on with the pre score and the, like the, that stage. It's, you know, they have somebody playing it all the time. It's just like very Nashville. It's
Speaker 2 00:14:15 Like okay, what Tim McGraw thing do they have when the pre scores? It just like a
Speaker 3 00:14:19 Bla I like it. I love it. Tires. I want some more of it. No, it just Blas. I like it. I love it. And I think something he's like, maybe they play the music video on the middle screen, the big screen in the middle and then, uh,
Speaker 2 00:14:29 That's wild. I didn't know that. I thought it was gonna be like a video of him flipping tires once for every point they've scored so far.
Speaker 3 00:14:34 <laugh>. No, they do it every time they score though, so it's happens. That's awesome. A lot. Yeah. It's like
Speaker 2 00:14:39 Their goal song and they have like a little video they cut with
Speaker 3 00:14:41 Them and it bla it is loud as fuck. They do it like the first time I was, I was like, what the fuck was
Speaker 2 00:14:47 That? That is, that's Tim McGraw. There's
Speaker 3 00:14:50 Tim McGraw, there's like buzzers going on and then the Preds people are, they're just, they're getting down anyway. Yeah. Went the one time, the very first time I go into Preds game, we go in there, we're gonna order some drinks and like I get this crown, I was gonna get a crown oil and coke and the lady's like, that'll be like 28 bucks something. I was like, fuck what <laugh>. I was like, that'll be the only drink that I have today. Like, dang Jesus
Speaker 2 00:15:11 Man. Can't even airport bar that thing.
Speaker 3 00:15:14 The prices are through the roof. You should have just rode it off.
Speaker 2 00:15:18 You should have.
Speaker 3 00:15:19 Yeah. I don't know if I could have done that. Maybe. Maybe.
Speaker 2 00:15:22 Oh man. But yeah, uh, the event itself though that we worked was actually really cool. I mean yeah, kid rocks, people were awesome. I nice. Uh, Burrell was talking to me as we got in here. He was talking about how there was all this big turnover because he is not doing as many shows. Well if his old crew was just as cool as his new crew. He has a, he has a damn good crew. They took care of us extremely well. Couldn't have been happier with the day. It was funny though cuz they, we only had an hour to set up. Um, we got, we didn't get the sage till five and we, the doors had to open by six so we had exactly an hour to get all of our stuff from,
Speaker 3 00:15:57 Which is not ideal.
Speaker 2 00:15:58 No. Normally we were doing this within the span of like three hours. Yeah. So we had to do every, we had to get everything sort of halfway set up. Send our risers up in half pieces.
Speaker 3 00:16:06 That's the worst part right
Speaker 2 00:16:08 There. That was the worst part. And then he has this big door that opens up through a tunnel on the stage of, I'm sure y'all have seen it. Yes. Yeah. I'm sure y'all have seen it. But to the listener at home that maybe has never seen this, it's like a big, the stage itself comes up to a big wall and in that wall at the very middle of it is a big door that has his initials on it that opens up that he can run through. Well that's how we're having to send everything out. So we're basically puking all of our stuff out onto the stage from backstage <laugh> ending up out there and we have to attach it all and then basically build all the instrumentation and everything and lay all the cables out. We got it done, no joke in 57, 58 minutes. I put the last piece of tape on the rope light at 59 minutes and we had exactly an hour. And boom, we were done. We had everything set up. The band sound check through a whole two songs while we were finishing up the final stuff. Got off the stage at exactly 6:00 PM Boom. Showtime. Yep. Sick. It was insane how freaking close we cut
Speaker 3 00:17:04 That and uh, and doing a 45 minute show cuz Travis's headlining show is like two hours pretty much. Mm-hmm. <affirmative> it's an hour 45, 2 hours with band intros. It's a two hour show. And dude, a 45 minute show feels like I blink my eyes and it goes, and Caleb, Caleb runs around and takes photos. I have, uh, I have, uh, I go get the hat, put it up and I have two, uh, there's a couple guitar things I do and then I'd get this towel with water on it for him after the show. But like, it just felt like, boom. Blinked Your eyes show was done. I was like, fuck Yeah.
Speaker 2 00:17:39 It went
Speaker 3 00:17:39 Fast. That's how fast it felt like. We did all that work. We worked all day. We walked, we, Caleb set a new personal record on his cell phone for most steps, taking in a day or something.
Speaker 2 00:17:47 Yeah. Which is weird because I, I didn't feel like I did and it
Speaker 3 00:17:50 Doesn't, see I seem like the event, my feet, my feet were hurting like hell after the show.
Speaker 2 00:17:54 I mean, mine were, but mine do that a lot. I um, I carry around a whole lot of beer with me at all times. So I'm, it's, I'm getting my damn exercise end at these shows. It's
Speaker 3 00:18:03 Funny as hell. Like you can, I can tell like a normal show. It's usually around like 12,000 steps according to my phone. Like a 12,000 step show day when it hits like 15 and more, which has happened. The, the most I've done was like 25,000. It was the first time I went to the blue mile. The blue mile. And my, I was like, why are my feet hurting? I I was like almost limping at the end of the day. Yeah. I was like, golly, when he gets over that like 15,000 my, I can tell like my feet start hurting like hell but 15,000 or less it's like, oh that's just, you know, normal everyday work.
Speaker 2 00:18:36 Yeah. Mine's usually like 15 to 18 that I'm getting every single day.
Speaker 3 00:18:39 And and when you said you had that post show limp going on, I was like bro, I was like, me too. Yeah. I got the post show limp going on. You're
Speaker 2 00:18:46 Just walking around like you're too cool for school and you're trying to hold your pants up. Yeah. It's just, ah, <laugh> you just literally
Speaker 3 00:18:52 Surviving. You're just ing it all day. Yeah, there's just like, we just went all day. There's nowhere to sit. You can't sit down in a 45 minute show cuz you gotta be there and get all the guitars, you know, like I just said. Yeah. It's just, there's just no stopping all day. Yeah. And then it's like the show's over
Speaker 2 00:19:08 And of course it's also a Nashville show too, so there's just a lot going on at all times. There's so many guests. I think Five
Speaker 3 00:19:14 Rock.
Speaker 2 00:19:15 Yeah. Had 530 guests for that one show and an equal number for the next show coming up, uh, coming up this Saturday,
Speaker 3 00:19:23 530 people is a lot of people.
Speaker 2 00:19:25 And then we've got guys bringing their families and we've got 30 guests of our own. So it's just a, it's a lot. Doing a show in Nashville is a lot. Anybody in music will say that I heard time to do a show in Nashville, LA or New York from one of them. Good god. Tour managers beware. Yeah.
Speaker 3 00:19:42 I've heard people from like record labels and stuff be like, dude, he's like playing in Nashville is the most stressful thing in the world because everyone you've ever met in your life hits you up and asked for a ticket. Yep. He's like brutal. Yeah.
Speaker 2 00:19:55 I had at least a few people that I know personally and then all of a sudden I have all the band and different people and they're just texting me like, hey, so where do I get the tickets for these people? Where are they gonna be? Are they gonna be at will call, Hey, can I get stickies for 'em? Hey, can I do this? Can I do this? And it's just like, oh my goodness. And I'm not even Scott, I'm not even tour manager and I was getting wore out. It's insane how much goes into it for sure. For a Nashville show. Yeah.
Speaker 3 00:20:21 It's one of those
Speaker 2 00:20:22 Things where it's like, I don't even ask for tickets in Nashville.
Speaker 3 00:20:24 Like you can't mm-hmm. <affirmative>. Yeah. It's just, it's nuts. People are like
Speaker 2 00:20:27 Anywhere else, you're good. Just
Speaker 3 00:20:28 Tell me where you wanna go. Yep. Nashville. That's exactly right. Leave me alone. Yeah.
Speaker 2 00:20:32 Yeah. Just word of the wise. If you want a ticket to a Nashville show through somebody that works for an artist and make sure you ask them three years in advance before they announce the show. <laugh>. Yeah. That'd be the best way to do it. Yeah. <laugh> just know that there's a waiting list.
Speaker 3 00:20:46 Somebody asked me about tickets and something and I was all my, my all I said was not my department. <laugh> kept on, kept on going. Not my department, not my department. And just kept walking,
Speaker 2 00:20:55 Damn I should use that.
Speaker 3 00:20:56 It wasn't even someone that was production assistant that was like with us. It was someone else asking me about I how to get tickets or something. And that's all I said, just kept on walking. I was like, I don't, I can't deal with all
Speaker 2 00:21:06 The Ticketmaster resale. Yeah, sure. Verified please.
Speaker 3 00:21:10 Yeah. I was like you gotta buy 'em. I don't know. Yeah, no. So all all that's just too much for me.
Speaker 2 00:21:15 Wild stuff. We got one more to go. We're doing it again on Saturday and then we actually have to load it up and get out of there. And I think we're with Eric Church the week after that two Eric Church.
Speaker 3 00:21:23 Yeah. We're coming.
Speaker 2 00:21:24 Heck yeah you are. Yeah. The boys
Speaker 3 00:21:26 Are coming. St. Louis are coming. Cincinnati I think coming. Yeah, we're doing Sensei and then we go to Tex Arkana after
Speaker 2 00:21:32 That. Yeah. Randomly on a Sunday. We have a show next to that.
Speaker 3 00:21:34 I didn't even know about that show till last week Caleb told me. I was like, what? Yeah, if it's
Speaker 2 00:21:38 Seems like it's a one off, that means the pay is good.
Speaker 3 00:21:42 Yeah.
Speaker 2 00:21:42 Yeah. Absolutely. You could not have put that better <laugh>. Yes. That is so damn true.
Speaker 3 00:21:49 But yeah, we'll be uh,
Speaker 3 00:21:51 A festival styling it up. Or when I say festival, like if we were ever opening for someone else, I just classify that in the festival thing cuz we're, it's just like the way the setup is, there's always something like we were talking about splitting the risers or can't be set up here, can't do this. So there's always something. So that goes into my festival category when I, and then our headlining category is like where you're just like, you're so thankful for those days cuz you, you, you look at these days and that's what makes you appreciate being in an air conditioned theater and you're like Wow.
Speaker 2 00:22:22 Yeah.
Speaker 3 00:22:22 And set all of my stuff up and not have to move it. Wow.
Speaker 2 00:22:25 <laugh>. Yeah. Like old Derek said, we got all these beautiful venues
Speaker 3 00:22:29 Across the country,
Speaker 2 00:22:29 Have the country. Why do we ever play outside <laugh>,
Speaker 3 00:22:32 I'm getting that tattooed across my chest. You should.
Speaker 2 00:22:34 You
Speaker 3 00:22:34 Definitely should. And
Speaker 2 00:22:36 It would just be sweaty all the time.
Speaker 3 00:22:37 That's my, i that's the most agreed with statement I've ever heard. It's like why in the f that like why the fuck do we play outside <laugh>? And and the best part is all these people wanna come to a summertime show and it's like 180 degrees. Like
Speaker 2 00:22:51 Jesus, you're the reason I'm up here <laugh> when you're yelling at me for set list. I do appreciate you helping me make my money but God dang it, I just don't even wanna look at you right now cuz you're the reason I'm here. <laugh>
Speaker 3 00:23:04 Bro. Caleb, Caleb has a, a good set list story from a guy the other day. What did you say?
Speaker 2 00:23:08 Oh yeah, we were
Speaker 3 00:23:09 The guy whistling guy. We
Speaker 2 00:23:10 Were getting tore down at a theater and I am in the middle of telling a stage two different stage hands how to do stuff. And if you've ever worked with stage hands, you got some really good ones. You got some ones that aren't so
Speaker 3 00:23:22 Good. They definitely do math.
Speaker 2 00:23:23 Yeah. It's it, you have it all in in between <laugh> stage hands are the reason we can do our jobs but sometimes it is a, it is a lot cuz you got eight people in front of you that have never seen your stuff before and you're trying to tell 'em how to tear it down without tearing the wrong things down. So I'm sitting here trying to bark some orders here and there and try to get some people kinda organized and in the middle of this, there's one dude sitting right dead set in front of Travis's mic stand while the outro music's going. People are leaving. He's like, hi set list, set list. And then just start whistling at people <laugh>. And I let 'em do it a couple times cuz I was like, security will come and they'll get him out here. Well they didn't.
Speaker 2 00:24:03 So finally one last time I knew he was looking directly at me and he turns around, just gives me that huge dog whistle. It's like, Hey, can I get a set list? And I just turn around and look him dead in the eyes and I say, I am not a fucking dog. Do not whistle at me. And then went right back to work and I was laughing with Wendell, I mean half second later just like, dude, can you even believe that this was gonna totally off subject but just shut the dude down. He went silent. I think he left right after that cause I didn't hear him again for the rest of the night. I think he immediately realized, oh, I have screwed up and got the hell out of there. But that was one of my mean, it's
Speaker 3 00:24:40 Incredible. Don't, it takes a lot,
Speaker 2 00:24:42 Lot to make me mad. It really does. And like Joslyn said, we don't mind
Speaker 3 00:24:45 Asking for that. Yeah, that's, we do every, like, we give set lists and picks away every show. Yep. But there's only so many set listers. I'm not going to get picks outta the box. I just give you the picks that are on the stands. Like if you don't ask early, you know, I can't really help you out the other day. This was in our, um, I don't think I told this story if I did, I'm gonna tell it again. It was when we were in Jackson, Tennessee at that place where everybody smoked cigs the whole time. <laugh> this old man, dude, I'm not joking. He looked homeless. Like he's got a beard down to his gut. Like just looks like he'd been rolling around in the dirt. And the show's over in like right dead center when the show's over. I we're like tearing down drums.
Speaker 3 00:25:23 Like we're just in a hurry in a way. And my box is like all the way over here. Well the drummer had given me a couple drumstick. He's like, Hey, you can give these out. You know, whenever, I've never had anybody ask me for a drumstick ever, by the way. And this, this happened like day of, he gives me two drumsticks that were like kind of busted. It was like, you can give these to some folks. Well they're in my little work box, like over on the, like a good ways away from me. And, uh, everybody had left. This dude comes up the stage, he's like, dude, can I get a drumstick? And I was like, that's so random that you asked for a drumstick. And I've never had one to give away until today. And I was like, yeah, you can. But like, I can't get it right now because I'm, I'm like, you know, 50 foot away from my thing and then take too much time to go get on the drums.
Speaker 3 00:26:06 Yeah. Take too much time to go back and forth. I'm tearing the drums down. I was like, if you give me a second I can. Well in this time the security guard guy was like asking to leave and he's like, can I get it? And I was like, I I can't get it right now. I was like, I can't get it, I'm sorry. And so he leaves whatever he leaves. Well we already got everything loaded up. I mean, locked up. Somebody comes over, I can't remember who it was and was like, dude, that guy you promised a drumstick to snuck back in. Here he is back at the stage. I was like, you're shitting me. Yeah. Everyone's gone.
Speaker 2 00:26:37 I think I was the one that came up and found you about it.
Speaker 3 00:26:39 Was it? I I can't. Somebody told me, I was like, dude, this dude snuck back fucking into this place. And I was like, kind of in a way like, hell yeah that's cool. And I go over the box box is already up like in line to be pushing the truck. Went over there, undid it, got the drumstick out, slid it across the stage and yeah. You would've thought I gave that motherfucker a million dollars. Yeah. Yeah. Although that must have been an important drumstick
Speaker 2 00:27:00 Man. And that just feels good. I mean the fans are the reason we can do anything. Yes man. They, they pay our bills. So yeahs like
Speaker 4 00:27:07 It's one of those things where it's like you guys get to be around it so much that it's like, and it's part of normal
Speaker 3 00:27:13 Life. Yeah.
Speaker 4 00:27:14 But for these people, that might be the only show they go to all year. No,
Speaker 3 00:27:16 That PE dean, we dean and we've talked about those guys have been around forever. Yeah. It's like, it's a normal day's work for us, but there's people there that's like, that's like their dream is to go see Travis Trt. Absolutely. Or Kenny Chesney or whoever it may be. Yep. And so I totally get that. But also like, don't whistle at me like I'm a dog. Absolutely. You know what I mean? So there's like a there's a lot. Yeah. Like you don't cross and then, but no problem at all. Like, like I said, like right after the show that people come to the front say, fuck Billy Ray Cyrus and ask for a set list
Speaker 2 00:27:46 <laugh>. That's a good, that's pretty much how it does every day. It's awesome. So great. I was even thinking the other day to myself on that vein of thought I was watching, we were have we had that show in um, uh, Pikeville Kentucky. Mm-hmm. That big arena show. We had
Speaker 3 00:28:00 Really awesome show.
Speaker 2 00:28:01 It was the loudest I'd ever heard of Travis Trick Crowd Get Yeah. For a headlining show that we
Speaker 3 00:28:06 Were the ones and they sold like 4,000, 3,900 tickets. Something like
Speaker 2 00:28:09 That. Yeah. It was, it was insane. Well done show and we got done with it and I was sitting up there watching and I don't know why the sock came across my mind, but I was like, man, if you just look out there, who knows how many people out there are gonna say this is the best day of their year. Like they, this is the highlight of their entire year is coming to this show right now. Yeah. And it's like, to us it's just perfectly normal. So it's just, it is crazy to think about that.
Speaker 4 00:28:31 It's a blessed life man. It
Speaker 3 00:28:32 Is cool. You know, and I think the same thing for the first time, uh, since we went through it at Myrtle Beach LA like yesterday. And we can, this is maybe a good transition into the race. I don't know. But I was watching all those guys walking around. Great, great transition. There's, there's people got their pants rolled up to their knees. Some people were posting pictures of people barefooted. I mean Pit road yesterday had like over a foot of water in it. That's how much rain was coming down. They were having toy tires were floating away, tires were
Speaker 2 00:29:00 Floating away.
Speaker 3 00:29:00 They were having toy boat races
Speaker 2 00:29:02 On
Speaker 3 00:29:02 There. So like they're, they got, there's no way to keep dry. And, and someone from colleague posted like their social media person and said like even the cuss words was in, it was like our shit is destroyed <laugh> like the computer monitors and all the stuff, you know, it's in the thing. And like all of us fans like on, I'm the fan in that aspect, but I'm sitting there looking like I know that they are miserable. Like everything they have is soaking wet. They're geared, they're electronics. It's soaking wet. There's no keeping anything dry in that amount of water. It's just impossible.
Speaker 2 00:29:35 Danny, you got even Denny Hamlin putting out tweets of like, please, NASCAR don't do
Speaker 3 00:29:39 This begging NASCAR not to race. Don't do this. Which, but then he ended up making a post. He was like props for racing nascar. Like kudos to you. Yeah. He made that like after the race.
Speaker 2 00:29:48 That's my same apology I made at the beginning. He made Yeah. Is what you're saying. Yeah.
Speaker 3 00:29:51 Something. Yeah.
Speaker 2 00:29:52 He was just like, you know what? I really thought this was gonna be a shit show. And it turned out to still be a shit show but not quite in the right way and rule with the way I thought it was gonna be. But a good one. A little. Yeah. It was a good one. <laugh>.
Speaker 3 00:30:02 It was, it was a shit show but it wasn't a shit show. Like I said when I came in here and it's like, what do you do with record breaking amounts of water? Like I don't know where the fuck it all goes. It's all asphalt so where's it gonna go? I don't know. And I mean they were like cutting holes in the sponsor things on the wall I guess cuz like those were kind of ha the, the concrete had little spots where it could go but the sponsor things were on there so it couldn't get by. So like officials were going out and cutting those holes out so the water could more places for it to go. Yeah.
Speaker 2 00:30:29 Yeah. Just crazy stuff. I mean in my head when we were talking about this last week and the weeks before we've been leading up to this race talking about how much we weren't looking forward to it. What we weren't looking forward to was all the calamity of putting a bunch of guys that have never done street racing into a box and then shaking around and then let 'em go and run an actual street race with no rain and anything like that. I really thought, and I still do think that if we had done it like a normal weekend with no rain at all, it would've been one of the worst races we'd ever seen. I was telling this to Dawson, this is my hot take for the, for the evening is the best thing that could have happened for the Nashville Chicago street race was record breaking amount of rain.
Speaker 3 00:31:14 Not Nashville Chicago Street race,
Speaker 2 00:31:16 The, the, I don't know why I said national
Speaker 3 00:31:17 That made me NASCAR Nashville, Chicago. I meant
Speaker 2 00:31:20 To say NASCAR <laugh>. But the NASCAR Chicago Street race was saved by record breaking amounts of rain <laugh>. Not because it happened on time. The Xfinity race got cut short. That's a whole nother topic we'll have to
Speaker 3 00:31:31 Get to. Oh we're talking about that.
Speaker 2 00:31:32 We're we'll here in a minute.
Speaker 3 00:31:33 I'm still pissed.
Speaker 2 00:31:34 But we, after all was said and done, they managed to get the race in, only shorten it five laps still go into a time.
Speaker 3 00:31:41 It was actually 25 laps. I didn't, was it 25? So the original was a hundred. I didn't know this at the time but it was Gotcha. I thought it was 80. Well it was a hundred. They knocked it at 25 so
Speaker 2 00:31:49 They had to shorten it and that was a little weird. But after all was said and done, I think the best thing that happened was everyone had to be so much more careful than they ever would've. They couldn't act like they could trust their cars cuz there was no level of trust in the car on a wet condition. Yeah. Single file restarts. Not having to send these guys too wide in the turn one. Cuz that's always where the problems come from. Having some people really dominate early and then have the whole race switch around as everybody got more comfortable as it dried off a little bit more. Having a first time winner for his first race. Everything ended up turning out great. And I really think that it was because the rain came, this race actually ended up not being a cluster. I think it really did elevate the actual race itself. Now the whole rest of it with cutting the Xfinity ray short, the,
Speaker 3 00:32:40 We do see that put a bad taste in everybody's mouth
Speaker 2 00:32:43 Should we not do it and, and not knowing when it was gonna happen. If it was still raining tomorrow or today. And we had to wait till today and they told us we cannot have you stay any longer than Monday. If we had gotten past that, what would've happened? There were so many things that could have gone horribly wrong that they got super lucky with on the sa on the same card. So yeah, that's my hot take of the week. Good thing the rain came cuz the race actually was better for it.
Speaker 3 00:33:07 Yeah. Having uh, sbg I'm gonna call him that cuz I don't mess his name up but uh what a what a fucking badass. What a badass. Like at the end of the race me and Caleb are straight up fucking cheering for this guy. Yeah. And a guy a a guy we never even heard of before today. I don't know if you'd heard of him but I never heard of this guy. And for a guy that just because we haven't heard of him doesn't mean he is not a badass though. He's a three time supercar champion and has 80 wins. Like I know what that means. Like that's more than fucking Dale Earnhardt has, you know what I mean? Like Yeah. It's a lot of wins. So like we know what that means. He's a badass
Speaker 2 00:33:45 And he's Australian so you know, he's a cool motherfucker
Speaker 3 00:33:48 And he drinks a shit ton of beer For sure. Definitely. Cause everyone in Australia drinks a shit ton of beer. Yeah, yeah. And like wrestles alligators and shit. Oh
Speaker 2 00:33:55 Yeah. I woke up in a parking garage because of that one time. That's a whole nother story. <laugh>.
Speaker 3 00:34:01 Uh, yeah. Caleb used to be big on uh, Australian radio back in the day. Yeah.
Speaker 2 00:34:05 I got my Australian radio, well not radio cut, it was an Australian album cut. Album
Speaker 3 00:34:10 Cut but it was with a big act though. What the Wolf Brothers?
Speaker 2 00:34:13 Yeah, the Wolf Brothers. That was uh, yeah they
Speaker 3 00:34:16 Used to Dude I bet svg he probably jams the Wolf Brothers
Speaker 2 00:34:20 Probably. He probably knows their music
Speaker 3 00:34:21 Dude, he knows your song. Probably.
Speaker 2 00:34:22 Maybe. You never know.
Speaker 3 00:34:23 Damn. That'd be badass. Random.
Speaker 2 00:34:25 Yeah, random tidbit with his Australian man called the Wolf Brothers that used to come up here and write with people and they ended up meeting our circle back in the day it was me and Kip Allen and Taylor Watson. We would all go hang out with them. Uh, and they'd come over to the house, we'd write and everything and we'd have a good damn time. I went over to their apartment one time, wrote a song with them, but the first time I met 'em talking about the waking up in the parking garage, <laugh> I'd never
Speaker 3 00:34:50 Drank. I don't remember this story.
Speaker 2 00:34:51 Never drank with an Australian before. And I learned real quick that I needed to work on my drinking craft.
Speaker 3 00:34:58 <laugh> drinking with an Australian person is like drinking with someone from Wisconsin. Yeah. They're gonna drink more than you. They
Speaker 2 00:35:04 Are. And they're gonna try to make you keep up too because we get there and I've already had five or six beers. We're sitting at Acme downtown back when it actually used to be kind of fun to go downtown to Broadway. Was at Acme, no
Speaker 3 00:35:15 Longer
Speaker 2 00:35:15 Drank. Uh, about five, six beers we're all hanging out. And then Tom, their bass player, big dude, I mean this dude could walk through a wall and then just kind of brush it off and wonder what the heck. He just hit <laugh>. So we start walking over to the George Jones Museum cuz somehow he found out that if you go to the George Jones Museum you could get $5, uh, moonshine tasters cuz he has his moonshine that he sells. The George Jones Museum sells. Now you could get a sampler flight of five different types of moonshine they had for $5 and a little half shots. But for downtown Nashville prices five half shots, two and a half shots for $5. It's pretty damn good. Great value. Great value for sure. So we go over there, we have another beer and we get one of those flights and then he is like, dude, we should do that again.
Speaker 2 00:36:01 So we get another one of the flights and I'm pretty sure we had at least another, but I'm already starting to forget where the heck I'm at. Next thing I know it is six o'clock in the morning, the sun is coming up. I am in my truck in a parking garage listening to the Leonard Skynyrd Double Live album <laugh> and coming, coming up and I'm listening. I'm dead set in the middle of second helping and just blaring this shit as loud as it'll go in my truck. And I was past the hell out and I wake up six o'clock in the morning, I'm like, whoa, I don't know where I am, but I'm glad I'm here. Thank
Speaker 3 00:36:36 God I didn't drive
Speaker 2 00:36:37 <laugh>. Turned the truck, turned the truck on and drove right outta that parking truck, parking garage, drove home. I didn't see him again for like a week. And he was like, dude, you okay? Where'd you go? I was like, I don't even know man. I think I just wandered out and just went straight to my truck. I was like, I'm gonna go home. I'm done. But I learned real, real quick, never out drink, never tried out drink in Australian cuz you will not. And I guarantee you someone hanging with SBG last night, dude
Speaker 3 00:37:04 Has
Speaker 2 00:37:04 Woke up in the exact same position I did that day because, you know, he partied like an animal last
Speaker 3 00:37:09 Night. It, he took, uh, the, the Champagne Victory Lane Celebration looked like it used to look in the early two thousands. Like it, we don't get to see a whole lot of Victory Lane anymore. Cause they do all the interviews on the front stretch, which in my opinion is just lame as fuck, but whatever. And uh, like they used to be such a core memory for me. Like when I was a little kid, I used to like go out like with the water hose and like put my thumb over it and look like I was spraying champagne. Like that was like cool as hell to me. And last night I saw a video and I could totally find this, maybe we should post it on the line, but he, he's got the whole team up there and he's got a big bottle of champagne, right.
Speaker 3 00:37:46 And right when they say like, do it, he takes it and boom slams it on the ground. <laugh> and it shot the thing out. I mean dude champagne shot like 10 foot in the air and he literally body slammed it down. It was like the best badass thing. And someone's like, man looks like he's done this before. And I was like, just everything about him. Like I had told Caleb like before they even, like before the race even started, I didn't, like I said, I didn't know this dude's name and they just did like an interview with him or whatever and they were do in rain delays. They do super long interviews with drivers like whatever. And I was like, this dude seemed like a cool dude. Like he's humble. Like I like him. Like I just, I liked, I liked him. And then he just comes out there and waxes everybody's ass. And I was like, man, there's so many people posts like dude, if you ever come to nascar you got a fan in me. Like pe like dude will have a fan base if he comes, if he does come over. He said he's like a one year contract. Yeah. One year
Speaker 2 00:38:36 And v8.
Speaker 3 00:38:38 Yeah. And then he'd come back over to uh, like he'd said he'd love to move here and like do nascar. Like that'd be fucking dope. It'd be crazy. I'd cheer for him. I'd buy I almost said a 91 shirt, but he'd probably be with somebody else. Yeah. But still
Speaker 2 00:38:49 I and also super cool for the 91 team. I don't know like, so maybe this is something you would know or have seen. I don't know who made up the pit crew, how they chose the crew chief and the engineer and all that for that one car. Cause I know they don't race it every single week, so I don't
Speaker 3 00:39:04 Know where they get all those. Derrick works for track house as like an engineer does a bunch of in-house stuff. Gotcha. And then Darien, that's the crew chief for the 91 who was like, we talked about crew chief, he's won Daytona 500 s with Denny Hamlin won races with j uh, Jimmy Johnson, Carl Edwards, like dudes won, what'd they say? Like 40 cup races. Like he's, he's a Sounds crazy. He's a badass list. Drivers a badass is awesome. And uh, I mean, worked with some of the biggest drivers in the sport and he got hired on just to like work over there. Like something like Car Chief, but not that, just something to do. Maybe competition director, whatever it is. And then probably when they brought the 91 thing up, like, Hey, would you be interested in crew chief? And you know, like four races a year or whatever. And he was just down. Now as of uh, uh, crew wise and stuff, I have no idea. I saw a guy who's big in the, the northeast, uh, modified scene and he was like, Northeast modified guy should be pumped up because this, he, he rattled off all these guys' names. I don't know who they are, but they all came from modified northeast racing. So if that gives you any insight, that's what I saw.
Speaker 2 00:40:06 No mean it, not necessarily, but it's just one of those interesting things to think about. It's like this was a team that wasn't supposed to win.
Speaker 3 00:40:13 No, that's the thing about, that's the thing about having an open car, like Ringers Road course Ringers have been coming to NASCAR since the beginning of time, but the, the way it works out, they're always in some dog shit equipment because no, Rick Hendrick can only have four cars, so he can't put, he's not changing nothing out. You know what I mean? Like, and then no one else really wants to ever spend the money to say a two car team had that third card ever. They always in in some dog shit card. Well, when all this got started talking about the 91, we were like, oh dude, track house like this, this has a chance. Like, you know, and the first couple didn't go great. They got wrecked a couple times, like whatever. But the stat was, it was the first ever open car to win practice. So that was a record. And then first ever, uh, guy to won his first cup race in his first start since 1943 or 53 or 63, whatever it was.
Speaker 2 00:41:05 60 I wanna say it was something, something
Speaker 3 00:41:07 Along those lines. Something crazy like this just doesn't happen. Yeah. It does not happen. And, and and it's just, damn, it's cool as fuck in my opinion. I I love it. I really do. Yeah. Like I thought it was cool as hell. It
Speaker 2 00:41:17 Was impressive. And I mean, for him to go out there, it's one thing for him to have raced in the wet and beating the NASCAR guys, that wasn't as surprising to me. I was, I was definitely impressed by it. Don't get me wrong, but I'm not gonna be over the moon about somebody with a really good road course background who, you know, races in the wet all the time beating NASCAR guys on the wet. Yeah. That's not gonna blow my mind When the track starts drying off though. And you are out racing these dudes who know this car better than you inside and out and you are out driving them and you're driving on the wrong side of the car for
Speaker 3 00:41:49 You. Yeah. That's a, that was a big difference.
Speaker 2 00:41:51 A team you've never worked with.
Speaker 3 00:41:52 Shifting with the opposite hand. Imagine how weird it would feel to go get in a car and shift with your, this your left
Speaker 2 00:41:56 Hand. Oh, it feels so strange. It'd feels so strange. That'd
Speaker 3 00:41:59 Be ass fucking backwards. Like, and he went out and won a race like this
Speaker 2 00:42:02 Yeah. And worked with a crew chief. He'd probably never even met up until this race happened.
Speaker 3 00:42:06 Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 00:42:07 And the crew and pitting in NASCAR is so much different than pitting anywhere else. And just everything in jet
Speaker 3 00:42:12 Lag on top, top of it. It shouldn't have happened, knows it shouldn't have happened. And it did.
Speaker 2 00:42:16 That's insane.
Speaker 3 00:42:17 Because of his talent. Like got in there. I mean it's just
Speaker 2 00:42:20 Crazy. So crazy. But then you're looking at all the other guys at that drive these cars every single day. And you've got Denny Hamlin wrecking out, you've got Truex hitting the wall a couple times. Noah Grason couldn't stay outta
Speaker 3 00:42:31 The wall. He, he lived in the wall. He lived
Speaker 2 00:42:33 In the wall. Ryan Blaney couldn't even get outta last place. I mean there was so many people that had, that have the ability to run these cars extremely well that were running terribly hit walls or getting outta here. You had some though, like Christopher Bell and Tyler Reddick and all them that were doing a phenomenal job
Speaker 3 00:42:50 And still wrecked
Speaker 2 00:42:50 And still ended well, still ended up wrecking. But the Christopher Bell one wasn't his fault. So
Speaker 3 00:42:55 Who hit him there
Speaker 2 00:42:57 Was that, that was, that wasn't that that wreck that somebody came in and Tebow
Speaker 3 00:42:59 You? Bubba T-boned somebody. Maybe
Speaker 2 00:43:01 That's what I'm thinking of. But either way
Speaker 3 00:43:03 Was that him? I can't remember. That'd
Speaker 2 00:43:05 Be too much for me to try to go back into it.
Speaker 3 00:43:07 I'll tell you what, uh, this is a little off subject, but talking about people wrecking my favorite part of the race other than the 91 winning, they're sitting there. Jeff Burton is just honking on Austin Dillon's Bobo about some shit about him being a great road course racer and he's this and he's the most, you know, doing all this shit. And while they are talking about him, he ran into the wall head on and I fucking laughed my ass off. You lost it. That was the funniest shit for him to just be l loving Austen Dylan in the moment talking about how great he is and then bam just, I mean head on over race was over like that. He
Speaker 2 00:43:49 Got Rick Allen by someone who wasn't Rick Allen <laugh>. Dude,
Speaker 3 00:43:51 That made me laugh so hard. And I made a post about it, but then I saw other people make a post and I was like, damn was the only one that feels this way. Damn. But anyway, back to svg, like what a badass. Yeah,
Speaker 2 00:44:03 It was, it was a neat, it was a really neat race and I mean, I'll give props to the NASCAR guys too. They had all the opportunity in the world to wreck the hell out of each other and for the most part they kind of stayed out of each other. There was the one log jam, there was a couple people that
Speaker 3 00:44:18 Which we knew was gonna happen. Yeah, like that. Yeah. I
Speaker 2 00:44:20 Mean it's just was gonna happen. Small track. You just get one car sideways, it's a log jam.
Speaker 3 00:44:23 Yeah. Honestly, I'm kind of glad it did happen.
Speaker 2 00:44:26 Just just to say, just
Speaker 3 00:44:27 To see what looked, yeah. Yeah. Just to say like yeah they was gonna log jammed up.
Speaker 2 00:44:30 Yeah. Yeah. But I mean after all was said and done, you had 'em. I mean you watch some of those cameras and they're right nose to tail and they're taking these turns fast as hell in the wet conditions that they're not even used to on a track they're not even used to. And it's super tight. I mean, watching Almond Dinger go through the qualifying lap is whenever he was doing his second run and they actually showed the on onboard camera of them going into some of those turns. They looked like alleyways. They don't even look like a turn on a race course. They look like an alleyway. Like you gotta really think about how you're gonna enter it. But he is gonna do it at in 90 miles an hour. Yeah. Crazy. So they all kept off each other for the most part and it really turned out to be an impressive race for these guys. Yeah. Prop to the NASCAR drivers specifically that don't have that kind of experience. They did a great job. I loved watching the race. I would gladly watch it again. Yeah.
Speaker 3 00:45:20 They had to
Speaker 2 00:45:20 Be with single file restarts only though Double File does not belong at Chicago Street Course.
Speaker 3 00:45:24 They uh, we're talking about originally the dirt track guys like Bell Larson, Reddick, those guys that came from there and it's like running in the rains gotta be similar to running in this slick ass dirt. So it's like they were kind of like, okay, this makes sense for them to do. Well, you know, the first thing I thought about agreeing with you, like on the 91, he goes out and cuts that lap and practice and qualifying. I was like, okay, the dude definitely can drive. He has experience like definitely can cut a lap obviously, but it was like, you're gonna tell me he is gonna outpace guys that have been running cup cars their whole life. Like that's where I was like, I was like, no way he's gonna do that. And then he fucking did like, it was just so impressive to me. The whole thing was just like, like you are a talented son of a bitch.
Speaker 3 00:46:06 Yeah. That's how I felt like watching the end of the race. Like I, like, like I said, me and Caleb were sitting there like, dude, I hope he wins this. There was a pit sequence that got everybody flip flop back around and uh, he was the fast car before that and he was the fastest car after. And it was like at one point, like five or six seconds. I mean just fucking killing them. Waxed them. Yeah. And it was just like, it's cool to see. I'm glad to say I got to sit there and watch it. Honestly.
Speaker 2 00:46:30 It was. And the one other thing that I thought was real interesting, we kind of talked about yesterday was when cars did go off the track and they hit those tire barriers 90% of
Speaker 3 00:46:40 The time. Oh my
Speaker 2 00:46:41 God. And turned six. I don't know what it was about the new cup car hitting tires, but they could bury themselves halfway into the tire barrier
Speaker 3 00:46:49 Windshield deep. There'd be windshields sitting on the, there'll be, there was tires on the windshield. Yeah.
Speaker 2 00:46:53 All they have to do is hook 'em up to a tow truck, pull 'em out, and then send 'em right along their way. And it was like nothing had ever happened.
Speaker 3 00:46:59 It's funny you brought that up cause I wanted to bring that up as well. Yeah. And we didn't even talk about that, but I wanted to like, how in the fuck do you hit a wall head on and, but still,
Speaker 2 00:47:08 Yeah. I'm wondering if it had something to do with the fact that the tires were full of water
Speaker 3 00:47:12 Maybe and
Speaker 2 00:47:13 It did that have a difference in how,
Speaker 3 00:47:15 But I thought they'd have been heavier with that. You know, it
Speaker 2 00:47:17 Would be heavier, but would allow for a whole lot more energy to get absorbed into that section of it.
Speaker 3 00:47:22 Yeah. I have no idea idea
Speaker 2 00:47:23 Before it just hit that concrete divider behind it. I don't know. I I can't say that I'm right there. I'm just like that. Did that have something to do with it? Who
Speaker 3 00:47:30 Knows? The first car that did it, the uh, Bush goes in there and just piled drives it. He, he gets, he's on whatever straightaway they were on, he was cocked sideways like 200 yards before the turn even happened. Like that's how outta shape he was. And he hits the wall so hard and on the radio he was like, yeah, I think if we could just get a pull outta here we'll be good. And I was thinking in my mind like, no fucking chance. Like you just, yeah. You got something wrong. Yeah. You just hit the wall head fucking on and you're up underneath a whole set of tires, like no chance you're just pulling out. And by God they hooked a rope to him and pulling him out and he just drove right off. Ended up finishing like sixth. Yeah.
Speaker 2 00:48:02 Did that's crazy stuff that they could do that. And it was car after car after car after car. Then there was those few that,
Speaker 3 00:48:08 And then Axon just hit it fucking eight times.
Speaker 2 00:48:10 Oh Axon was definitely the test dummy for the, the tire barrier.
Speaker 3 00:48:14 The three. He, he, he clipped the tires but he didn't get 'em on. He, he, he clipped the tires barely and nailed the wall. Yeah.
Speaker 2 00:48:21 So did Blaney. He missed the tires and hit the wall. Truex, I don't know
Speaker 3 00:48:24 What was, oh, Truex wrecked a bunch too.
Speaker 2 00:48:26 What in the world was going on with Toyota's braking system? That's what I wanna know because if you looked at a Toyota, their brakes were glowing red hot and they seemed to be the ones that had the most trouble when it came to 90 degree turns. They were having the most trouble making those corners. It was almost like they, their brakes were failing on them faster than other cars were.
Speaker 3 00:48:46 If you think about it, there was a few Toyotas too that brake roters blow up at Gateway. Yeah, true. Not that matters, but true. I heard somebody
Speaker 2 00:48:52 That that's, that's in the same vein
Speaker 3 00:48:54 Talking about, uh, brakes and stuff. They can do a lot like the brakes on, like the brakes on this car and the brakes on that car aren't the same. You know what I mean? Like they can mess with 'em and do different things and whatever. Yeah. So it might be they were doing something because I'm with you, I didn't see anybody else's brakes glowing like that. And every time Truex wrecked his shit was just glowing bright red. Oh yeah. I mean that's not good. It's all too hot at that point and just crazy. So mm-hmm. <affirmative> no wonder he's locked. I mean that just no wonder he locks 'em up every corner when they're that hot.
Speaker 2 00:49:23 Very strange. And the other, the last thing I can think of that to bring up that I was really, really impressed by was Bagley <laugh> given
Speaker 3 00:49:32 His God I love him, I love him. He
Speaker 2 00:49:35 Made it sound when someone hit the turn six wall, I mean they could have just hit it and just kind of bounced a little bit and just needed to re-fire their car and get it going again. That's all they had to do. When the leaders are going into turn one someone's wrecking and turn six in front of him and he's calling it out, even though they're right about to get restarted again, you'd have thought the damn world ended in that turn and you're just like, oh my God, what the hell happened over there? But he was just, oh man, it turned six. We got a big wreck coming down. Christopher Bell's in the wall. Oh my God. And he's freaking out like that. And then they show it on the camera and you're like, yeah, he's in the wall, but damn, you got my attention man. Like, I am
Speaker 3 00:50:13 Listening. He's so fun to listen to.
Speaker 2 00:50:15 What do you have to say? Like, holy crap, it's so cool. So much more over the top than any other nascar uh, telecast guy at this point. I love listening to Junior just because he's super easy to listen to and he knows what he's doing and Laar
Speaker 3 00:50:31 Knows strategy like a mug. That's why I like
Speaker 2 00:50:33 Listening to him. And Laar Laars very good at that. He's got the energy too. Dale Laar and Bagley. Imagine that combination in the boot
Speaker 3 00:50:39 Being in the boot.
Speaker 2 00:50:40 I like Rick Allen to a certain extent, but even he's starting to get a little Mike Joy on me. Like sometimes, sometimes there needs to be a little bit of excitement of, I think there was a qualifying lap we were watching. I mentioned it. He was talking about, uh, I think it was the Almond Dinger qualifying lap. He was coming up and he was like, will Almond Dinger get to the top five of qualifying at the end of this lap? Like he, he does it
Speaker 3 00:51:03 <laugh>. That was so funny. He
Speaker 2 00:51:04 Does it. That was that all the excitement led up to the checkered flag and as soon as he got to the checkered he does it. It's like, whoa man. I'm so freaking pumped up for that. Dude. Come on
Speaker 3 00:51:15 Now since you brought it up. This is just something I've always, I have been thinking a lot about. Like that is one of the biggest problems. We're talking about growing. Uh, what'd you put? I didn't even see 5 1 5 1 Grow. Uh, like I didn't we're what we're missing in a reason. They're talking about growing nascar. Growing nascar. I, it's not that like, I'm not saying this is 100% the reason, but I feel like we lack that. Like you don't even necessarily notice it in the moment, but it's those replays that you notice it like they, the last lap, someone posted like this is one, this is the last lap call the Daytona 500 this year when Amaro and uh, Larson all wrecked. It's like they were talking about two snails racing. Yeah. And like you in the moment, like me specifically, I'm so excited cuz it's the last lap of the 500.
Speaker 3 00:52:02 I don't even know if I'm like listening to what they're saying, you know what I mean? And like Larson's hitting the wall head on and stuff. So like me, like I'm so excited. I wouldn't even catch that till later. But I don't know what it is. Like, and F1 does this phenomenally, IndyCar does this phenomenally, they make it sound like it's the coolest thing to ever happen. And NASCAR does not have that. And I'm not just straight up shitting on Jeff Burton and not that I'm like the most coolest swaggiest motherfucker ever, but they go from talking to literally they have a like just talking to Bagley and then straight to Jeff Burton and Jeff Burton just has negative swag, <laugh> just negative fucking swag. He's sitting there and his hat's like sitting a little crooked and he is just looks like a fucking dad up there. It's like, bro, this is fucking embarrassing. Like who the fuck is this dad bod Fucking lame negative swag. You know what I mean? Like, if you're like a young kid and want to get up into watching it, it's like that doesn't get you excited at all. You know what I mean? Like, I wanna hear some fucking hollering and yelling and somebody cool as fuck going on. Yeah.
Speaker 2 00:53:09 I mean we were talking about this when we were eating the other day, um, at that Mexican restaurant. We go to shout out El Dorado for
Speaker 3 00:53:16 The margarita Oh great. Mexican
Speaker 2 00:53:18 Restaurant margaritas and getting caught up in a monsoon on the way home. But uh, we were talking about it, we were sitting around eating lunch and I had told you it's almost like
Speaker 3 00:53:29 I wish we'd have had a microphone on at that conversation. Yeah. Cause me this was like last Monday or Tuesday. Well I know when we
Speaker 2 00:53:35 Went this, this was Thursday or Friday,
Speaker 3 00:53:37 Thursday. Thursday or Friday,
Speaker 2 00:53:38 Whatever, when Allison was leaving town,
Speaker 3 00:53:39 When we went, I was almost even thought that deer, I was, we had a great NASCAR conversation. I was like, damn, we needed a fucking microphone right here so we could record this.
Speaker 2 00:53:47 Yeah. And that's what I was telling you that day is it's like we take drivers out of the race car and we put 'em in the booth where there's a lot of room for professionals that can come in there and really amplify what you're watching. But instead we have a bunch of drivers up there running the booth and here we are with a bunch of business people that obviously love nascar, but they're, they're the ones running the sport and making all these big decisions. And you sit there and think like, how much cooler would it be if we swapped that the professionals get them out of the running the business of motorsports and put them into the booth and take the drivers out of the booth and put 'em into running the business of motorsports? And I bet you we'd have twice the sport that we already do with
Speaker 3 00:54:28 The drivers. I agree. That's a great quote.
Speaker 2 00:54:29 The drivers have so much to, to provide with giving you ideas about how the cars will race and what they can do going forward. They need to be involved in that conversation. But we also need to get some of these drivers out of the booth because yes, having driver input is awesome and it's impressive and they can lend a whole different side of things, but they are not always the most exciting person to listen to talk about it while the race is going on. I'll listen to a driver podcast all day long, but a driver in the booth doesn't always do it for me. And I think that's a big issue that we have right now is they always wanna take these legends and put 'em in the booth and keep 'em in front of you. It's like problem is you're trying to sell me a driver. You're not trying to sell me the sport. The broadcast. Yeah.
Speaker 3 00:55:08 I'm trying to buy this.
Speaker 2 00:55:09 I'm trying to buy the sport and the broadcast. Yeah's a good way to put it
Speaker 3 00:55:11 In the Yeah, I'm trying, I'm trying to do that like, I mean you just hit, you hit it on the head like it's uh, I think Denny's talked about it. Somebody that knows what they're talking about has said like, it is kind of cool that Fox brings in this person, this person and this person. But it's like you, there's no consistency. There's no, like sometimes it lacks some professionalism. Like they need to know they, they need guys. Like the best thing is like build that relationship where it's like they, like he always talks about MRM and like Mike bag Bagley and those guys like when one stops talking the other knows when to start talking and it's just con consistent and it's perfect. And it's like we talked about on this podcast, like you watch a race, you listen to a race and you're like, this is the most ex, this sounds like the most exciting thing I've ever listened to in my life. And I know it's because they're painting the picture for you and then when you're on tv you know, you, they're talking about the picture you're already watching. But still like something that we could bring in, we could, they could do something where it got better. I think
Speaker 2 00:56:14 There's a lot of work. Think Matt Burrell should get up there in the booth. I think that would add so much to it.
Speaker 3 00:56:19 I mean maybe not me cuz I'm pretty dumb at nascar, but
Speaker 2 00:56:21 <laugh> you don't need to know. You don't need to know enough, but you don't need to know nothing to watch some guy wreck and I
Speaker 3 00:56:26 Can scream. Good.
Speaker 2 00:56:27 Yeah. That's what we need. That's
Speaker 3 00:56:29 <laugh>. I wanna be excited. That's the thing.
Speaker 2 00:56:30 Yeah. We need hollering, we need screaming, we need people acting a fool but not too much of a fool.
Speaker 3 00:56:36 Like do exactly what he does. Like it's professional as it gets, but it's exciting, you know what I mean? And he is hollering and stuff like, it just sounds good. But anyway, I'm gonna do, uh, we just praised NASCAR about all these great things, but my hack of the week is nascar. Oh
Speaker 2 00:56:56 Really?
Speaker 3 00:56:57 100% the Xfinity race. I so fucking disappointed with the Xfinity race and how they handled that whole situation. That that's what put the sour taste. Everybody had a sour taste before we got to the race. But like that really put a sour taste in everybody's mouth before the cup race started. My hack of the week is nascar. They didn't run halfway, they just, the the the, it was just terrible. They ran a few laps. Single file didn't make it halfway and NASCAR caused the race and caused it. Caused it like awarded Cole Custard the trophy, paid out full points, paid out everything. Yeah, that is my hack of the week. I thought that was complete bullshit. And from what I see on social media, every 99 point, that's one of those, uh, agreement, uh, arguments everyone agrees with.
Speaker 2 00:57:48 Yeah. I've I will be the slight NASCAR apologist just to give the other side of it. I wonder what was going on behind the scenes. I brought this up to you yesterday.
Speaker 3 00:57:56 Oh, there, there
Speaker 2 00:57:57 Was was I'm not, I am not happy with it either. I don't like the way that it worked out. They need to say something about what the reason why they did what they did. Yeah, just tell us. But I feel like there had to have been something between them and the city of Chicago where the city of Chicago was saying something along the lines of like, well
Speaker 3 00:58:12 Fuck your bush race. We need the
Speaker 2 00:58:13 Gun cars out here got here. The only thing we care about really at this point is the cup cars racing. You're not gonna have enough time to finish the Xfinity race today and we will not want you if you already finished the cup race today, we don't want you coming back and doing this again tomorrow. So either the cup race gets postponed tomorrow and you don't do the Xfinity race today and you do the Xfinity race today or you try to get the cup race in today and we canceled the Xfinity race outright cuz we can't do both.
Speaker 3 00:58:36 And I think that's a hundred percent what happened. But see what screws everybody is NASCAR's saying that like we can race on Monday. Now they don't say what can race on Monday or for how long or anything. They just say we can, so I think NASCAR's one of those deals where they think the fan base is just fucking dumb, you know, and doesn't care and it's like,
Speaker 2 00:58:54 Or they just didn't want to get into it. Yeah. They just decided to just call it and then we'll let the, we'll let it fall and we'll have a press conference about it three weeks from now and we'll explain everything.
Speaker 3 00:59:05 But I've, I've seen, I've seen some, I've seen some uh, rain shorten races happened obviously over the years. You know, you go into the garage, they give the trophy presentation and all that and it's like the crew and stuff, dude, they had Cole Custer out there with the trophy by himself. It is quiet. You could hear a pin drop and he's like smashing some beers and slinging some beers like by himself. It was just the most awkward, weird thing I've ever seen. That's nothing against Cole Custer. That is all just the way the situation they put him in. Yeah. For it to be And like they're giving him an interview and all this stuff and it is just bone quiet. That's weird. You can't hear. It was was just weird. The whole thing was weird. I hated everything about the Xfinity race,
Speaker 2 00:59:49 Not about it. But you know what
Speaker 3 00:59:51 I, so that's why it's my hack of
Speaker 2 00:59:52 The week. I I really think that's, that's the messy side of Chicago that I was talking about earlier where the rain helped 'em out a lot but it also showed them a lot. There is no room for any sort of error with this Chicago Street course. And that is, that just goes to show you how tough it is for us to go out there and do this crazy kind of stuff. Like doing this street course race and because there was the one time at Texas, what was it, 2020 I wanna say it was when we were supposed to race on Sunday and weren't even able to race until Thursday because the rain never stopped. I mean, what, what would've happened if the rain had never stopped?
Speaker 3 01:00:28 I think you just had a cancellation.
Speaker 2 01:00:30 Yeah. And I know I'm throwing up a big what if out there and that's a horrible argument to be making. But you've gotta you've gotta be able to look at every possible situation that can plan out. And this is partly because we work in the event industry and we know this kind of stuff.
Speaker 3 01:00:43 There's so, so many contracts and
Speaker 2 01:00:45 Yeah, there's so much stuff you've gotta worry about and you gotta think about and of course the contract probably had a clause it that covered it. But as a fan, I don't give a shit what your contract says. I wanna watch a race. Yeah. And if you could have gone to Chicago land instead of Chicago Street course and gone out there and postponed the race as long as it needed to be postponed and we could have gotten full races in or at least gone to half halfway. Why are we not doing that? Because you're putting yourself in this tiny little box and you're hoping to God you fit in it. But until you bust out the sides you don't know you don't fit
Speaker 3 01:01:18 This, this is something else to go along with that why and not that you would have this answer, but, but someone why even if the sun was shining and it was a beautiful, clear day yesterday, why did the race start at five o'clock and the sunset was at like 8 36. They gave 'em three hours and 36 minutes to run on a street course they'd never ran before. So they're already putting themselves in a little bitty window. Anyway.
Speaker 2 01:01:42 I've got, I have to wonder if it's the city of Chicago because we, we heard about how much of weird stuff happened between us but the US NASCAR and the city, they had so many disagreements and so many issues and this and that and back and forth and lightning. You gotta kick everybody out and this and that. Like it, it just seems like NASCAR and the city of Chicago were on two completely different pages from the moment this race even got announced. They were already talking about how some of the major heads of the city had no idea this was even coming.
Speaker 3 01:02:11 Something else That's super weird. NASCAR has a 30 minute rain, a 30 minute lightning policy that Grant Park or whatever has a 90 minute thing. So that was one of the problems with the Bush race. Yep. One of them that, but they, the way NASCAR said and the post I saw the Chicago NASCAR had has their own social media. That's what it's like Chicago of NASCAR or something. They made the post at the race was postponed and then said that NASCAR would say something later. Huh? Like they said it first, they went ahead and like the raise is postponed. Dang. There was people, uh, saw a couple posts, these people that paid for these seats or whatever and everything was still open. But there was like grant parks security people that wouldn't let 'em to their seats for like safety reasons, which I'm not trying to get anybody hurt or anything, but it was like, it seemed like Grant Park and those safety security people and then NASCAR and their security and safety people and everybody's trying to keep everybody safe for sure. But like they still weren't on the same page. Yeah. At all. And that's just clear. I mean all you had to do is read sales from media to figure that out. Like super weird. That's that's like, I guess you gotta work through that. You gotta figure it out. You gotta go if you're gonna do this city thing. I don't wanna see this happen. I don't want there to be seven street courses. I don't No, I don't like one's enough. Maybe one over two years, one's too many. Yeah. I don't know.
Speaker 2 01:03:32 Maybe it should be the uh, the random like clash or all-star race thing that doesn't pay off points and we don't really care but we still watch. Yeah. It's like, it's okay if it's a shit show then
Speaker 3 01:03:41 That's fine. And then I don't think either, um, I don't think a guy like S V G comes out and wins at like a Watkins Glen or Sonoma. No, there's no chance. Like that's what I'm saying with like keeping pace and all that stuff. Like the, they, he has a chance there, but I still don't think he has a chance at like those places. And that's why even back in the day, those guys didn't necessarily have a chance. Marcus Ambrose, who also came from sports car, V8 sports cars, he won plenty on road courses back in the day. He came from the same discipline as uh, Shane does. But I still just don't think him running one ran. He, you know, Marcus ran full time so he know, he knew those cars. I just don't think on a one-off situation he could come in and like no put on that show at Watkins Glen.
Speaker 2 01:04:27 No, I agree. And just, uh, since we're getting to the end of this, I think we're a little over an hour now, uh, I just want everybody to try to pronounce the dude's name one time. I think it's like Shane Van Ginsberg.
Speaker 3 01:04:39 Yeah, Shane Van Ginsberg. Yeah. What was I saying earlier? Said you
Speaker 2 01:04:42 Only stole an extra N in there. Yeah,
Speaker 3 01:04:44 You just did it. Ginsburg Ginsberg or something. Shane Van Ginsberg. And
Speaker 2 01:04:49 They're, they're we're doing pretty all right. We're
Speaker 3 01:04:51 Doing all right. I just don't wanna say it multiple times cause I don't wanna be like some of these guys like just not calling by his name or mess it up. So
Speaker 2 01:04:57 When you, I didn't even know that Joey Logano had said that his name was the hamburger and I'm like, dude, come on. Like that's just childish. Get outta here with that. You never even called me by my name. Yeah, David Allen co. Come on
Speaker 3 01:05:09 Now's. Yeah, Joey, Joey was up there, you know, hamburger, you know his eyes squinted up for sure.
Speaker 2 01:05:15 Yeah. It's hard to read when your eyes are squinted. It's hard to, it's hard to read when you got the thickest hair in America raining down on you. It's true. But damn, that's a pretty damn good episode. Also, we can end this with not a single fucking bet hit for me or Caleb yesterday. Oh not a single one. Completely missed them all. Completely missed them all. Which I'm not, I'm not down. I'm not surprised though. I'm not surprised. Yeah. But completely missed every one of them. Yeah, I
Speaker 4 01:05:37 Was gonna say, of all the races, that's probably the one I would guess that on. Yeah.
