Why do they always put the cool stuff on the back of the shirt? I don't know. It just ain't worth it. I don't really want the American flag on the front. Speaker 3 00:01:01 Damn. I want the American flag all over the shirt. Speaker 2 00:01:03 Honestly, we should get some of those overalls, like those dudes on tv. Yeah, for real. Or that dude that did the anthem this week, he had that American Flag Bedazzled Stars shirt that he had on. I didn't seen Anthem, unfortunately. The, that was one of the best national anthems at a NASCAR race I've seen in a long time. Really big old symphony orchestra behind him. The dude singing was nailing it. They had some weird chords in there. It was awesome. I very musical. Speaker 3 00:01:23 We should see if we can get Scott Sta to do a nascar. Speaker 2 00:01:26 He did. He did one he did back in the day. Like another one that's I'm saying like, hell yeah. Homestead back in like oh fours. Oh six. Something like he's just man going to town. Let's see if we can bring it back. We should bring him for the Nashville. The Nashville race and have Butt Rock Night be the sponsor. Yes. Sponsored. That'd be awesome. Brian Frazier sponsored by Brian Frazier and Dumpster Picks, cuz that's what he uh, reposted this week. That's it. I dunno if you saw that one Crack no hits. Yeah Cuz you posted it. No hits. Shout out. No hits his ankles. Like bent over a Yeah. What does he do? Not even a 90, whatever's beyond 90 degrees, I guess. A hundred degrees. It was his ankle was bent <laugh>. It's funny to see it. I think he was Speaker 3 00:02:02 Doing the stinky leg or Speaker 2 00:02:03 Whatever. He must have been. Yeah. He was giving his iPod the two fingers Salute is what he was doing. <laugh> the two finger bangers. What he had going on. Anyways. Anyways, that's what a great way to start today. Hope everybody had a good week. We had a, it was a pretty normal week for us, honestly. Yeah, it was just hot. It was hot. The clock is hot. We went to uh, woo. Excuse me man. Sorry about that. Dawson is allergic to talking about the weather. I had the dude end of the show, the Missouri show second night about the second the show and it just like boom, locked up nostrils. So yeah. Ugh. It's crazy stuff. Yeah, it's been okay till just now, so it's a great time. Where were we at? We were in, uh, lamp, Decatur, Lampe, Missouri and Decatur. Lampe Lampe, Lampe Lamp. We're not sure what the name of the town is. Hey, it's on. Someone's from there is actually listening to this podcast. Please let us know. There is no one from there so they, it's impossible. I will say though, the two people that fed us, uh, catering there, massive NASCAR people, huge NASCAR people. Not that they were big, they just loved the sport. Yeah. Speaker 4 00:03:01 Dude's wearing a cutoff Truex shirt, which was cool. Bright ass orange. Uh, bass Pro sponsor was the sponsor on his shirt. Nas Pro Smokes. Uh, heck Speaker 2 00:03:09 Yeah. He cooked Dawson the best brisket of his life. Dang. Speaker 4 00:03:13 I think that was a different guy, but yes. Ah, dang. Different fella. Speaker 2 00:03:16 Well, I got 'em all confused. Yes. I had a very long day that day. Speaker 4 00:03:19 I did make a post. Um, there's just nothing worse than the guy. He's just like telling you how great his food is. He's so excited. He's like leaned over me telling me like he's like ready to see me eat this. Which I thought was weird for them to say. And he is been working on this brisket for 13 hours. Well I open it up and you can just tell it's dry and I'm like, oh, this is gonna be bad. I mean this is, the brisket's supposed to be like juice. You squeeze it, you want some juice to run outta that thing, you know? Speaker 2 00:03:45 Yeah, you do. Speaker 4 00:03:46 This shit's just dries a popcorn fart. And I'm like, oh man, <laugh>. So I know it was, I know it wasn't gonna be like spectacular just by looking at it and he's just like standing over me and I'm like, cut. It like is so you gotta like cut it. And it was like, I don't know y'all, I know y'all know about brisket like it's supposed to be like, I don't know, just wasn't it. And it's just dry as hell. And he's just like, you know, giving me the look like what's it taste like, you know? And I'm like, oh, you know, I can barely fucking swallow it. <laugh> Speaker 2 00:04:16 <laugh>. And the worst part about it too is it wasn't like all the food was that way. The chicken was awesome. The taters, they had phenomenal. They actually had brown gravy for once. I mean it was the rest Speaker 4 00:04:25 Of the Cobb. The Cobb were great. It's just funny that he talked about how much work he put in. He literally told me word for it. I put 13 hours of work into this brisket. Like he was proud of it. And like watching us take the first spot and I'm like, it was kind of a letdown. Speaker 2 00:04:40 Should have just turned around and been like, how's it feel to waste 13 hours of your life? <laugh> Speaker 4 00:04:44 <laugh>. And I just don't, I'm not a jackass. Like I wasn't gonna say anything. So I was like, yeah man, it's great, you know, whatever. But it was not good. So I ate it though. I ate it though, so hey, whatever. Speaker 2 00:04:53 But you know what? They nailed the rest of it. They uh, Speaker 4 00:04:55 The hamburgers were good at lunch. They Speaker 2 00:04:57 Were, man, I saw you said you saw a stage hand doing a double decker hamburger and I mean these things were already Speaker 4 00:05:01 Massive. Yeah, we had big hamburgers. I mean they weren't like smash burgers. They were, these were like thick burgers. Right. And this stage hand, he gets up there and he makes two double deckers. And I love to eat, but I mean I was like, I was totally good on one burger cuz we had these big buns of burgers big. This dude had four patties, total <laugh>. And he ate every bite. And I was like, damn dog. Goodness. After it. Yeah. He was ready to Speaker 2 00:05:22 Go. He was ready to put the lights back up, take 'em down and put 'em back up again. Speaker 4 00:05:25 Shout out to those stage hands though. Cause they were some of the best we've had all year. So they Speaker 2 00:05:29 Did one of 'em called you pretty They did Speaker 4 00:05:31 <laugh>. They did in the trailer. Speaker 2 00:05:33 Yeah. It was funny. It Speaker 4 00:05:35 Was funny. They were, they were, they were great folks. So Speaker 2 00:05:36 They were, they were really nice people. I, I really enjoyed it. Yeah. Speaker 4 00:05:39 And then Decatur was Speaker 2 00:05:42 Just hot on the black town. We were, we were right next to, we were in Speaker 4 00:05:44 Decatur Lake. That's the lake. Found out. My stepmom was born in Decatur, Illinois. So I Speaker 2 00:05:49 Forgot about that little thing. Speaker 4 00:05:50 That was a cool stat. But the asphalt we're on this asphalt right next to this lake. And I mean, I've been on hot asphalt like NASCAR races specifically. Like we were just like getting burnt up. But it was so weird. I was telling Caleb and Allison yesterday, like, you could stand on the asphalt. And I swear to God, the heat from down here was nowhere near as the hot from the heat that was hitting you from like the chin up from the ground. Oh yeah. It was was weird how hot the ground was. It Speaker 2 00:06:14 Was brutal. I was glad we didn't have to stay there for more than one day. Yeah. It was, Speaker 4 00:06:19 I think it got like 91 or 92. It's uh, Speaker 2 00:06:22 I made a joke that I was gonna strip down to my skis and jump into the lake that was right behind the stage. But by the time it got around the lake jumping in time, I was so tired and beat. I just went in the bus <laugh>. I just needed air conditioning giving back at it. Cause we haven't had many outdoor shows yet. Speaker 4 00:06:35 The dude, one of those dudes told me, he was like, that lake is just sewer dump. Uh, he's like, I wouldn't get anything if you pay me to. So man, everybody's nobody didn't hop in there. Speaker 2 00:06:43 People say that about everybody of water. I don't know. Yeah. It's, everybody of water's bad had some kind of sewage put into it whether the city did it or whether some individual did it. <laugh>. That is, it's true. It's just water man. It's just water. I'd all give a dang. Just Speaker 3 00:06:57 Put it through Britta. It'll be fine. Yeah. Speaker 2 00:06:58 Yeah. Y'all went to, uh, y'all went to Cotton Joe's and Oh yeah.

Because Corey open for us in Lampe, Missouri. <laugh> shit. Speaker 3 00:07:17 I love Corey. And uh, I would like to say that we had a good time, but I stopped recording memories at about one 30 in the morning. Speaker 2 00:07:24 That's usually a good time to stop. Right. Speaker 3 00:07:26 But according to my debit card, I was out until about three 30 in the morning. Ooh. Ooh. And then I also lost my debit card. Right. Ooh.

I would totally eat Casey's pizza. Casey's Pizzas does have a way of going through you real quick though. So when we woke up in the morning, I told Dawson we gotta go to Kroger <laugh>. Speaker 4 00:10:35 That is true. That is true. But it's good. And then what was after show food the first night? Speaker 2 00:10:40 Remember Philly's and like some like good hoggy sandwiches that were chopped up. Like there was one that was like a burger Alfredo sauce and bacon. Oh and bacon Speaker 4 00:10:50 Chopped good Speaker 2 00:10:50 Up. Put inside a hoy bun. And then good some villas that were kind of similar dude, they were incredible. They Speaker 4 00:10:56 Were great. Yeah. I was Speaker 2 00:10:57 Food truck right next to Speaker 4 00:10:58 The bus. Something was really good this weekend. Yeah. Listen Caleb, Caleb hooks us up pretty good on after show food. I Speaker 2 00:11:04 Mean I try to, I try to, it's like the one way you can make people happy is so come up with after show food and make sure there's always alcohol and tatter chips on the bus. Yeah. 100 hundred percent of Speaker 4 00:11:12 The time. First started with Travis, I was like, I just made the joke. I was like, this is the alcohol and tatter chip tour. <laugh> like that is the most two important things on the road is alcohol and tatter chips. Yep. Like they gotta be there. All you Speaker 2 00:11:24 Gotta you have the uh, the drawers right beneath the seats in the front lounge. Two of them always for water. The one's up at the front and then the two right next to the one on the driver's side. Tatter chips and tatter chips. Yeah. I mean it's like probably 50, 60 bags I have available at all times and I have to restock it twice a run. And everybody Speaker 4 00:11:41 Just is like, people just walk by, boom, grab a bag of potato chips and that's just like, what? That's just what you do. I don't know. That's the, the sustenance that's touring 1 0 1. Like Absolutely. I I didn't know that until I got out with Travis and you know, Caleb and everybody. I'm like, oh, okay. Yeah. I, I'm learning fast alcohol and tater chip. Speaker 2 00:11:56 Yeah. People ask me all the time like, man, hey your job seems so cool. And I'm like dude, my job is 100% making sure there's water on the bus and ordering food for people. <laugh>. That is 90% of my job. Hey, the rest of it is all just setting up the stage and getting hot and sweaty. <laugh>. It's pretty much the entirety of the job. Nothing. It's Speaker 4 00:12:13 Cool though. Yeah. And we enjoy it. It gets Have we ever told the crystal story on here? Uh, Speaker 2 00:12:18 No we haven't. Can tell Speaker 4 00:12:19 The crystal story. Come on man. One Speaker 2 00:12:21 Time I take a chance. The one time I take a chance. So Speaker 4 00:12:24 Im doing cheap. The best part of this, we are in somewhere and it's lunchtime when this happens. And Caleb, Speaker 2 00:12:31 It was Pennsylvania, I don't know Speaker 4 00:12:33 Where. It was just me and Caleb eating lunch together and he was like, dude, I'm thinking about getting crystals for after show food. And I was like, dude, don't get crystals after show food Speaker 2 00:12:40 <laugh>. I was like, just you'll love him telling me no, just made me wanna do it more <laugh>. I Speaker 4 00:12:45 Love crystals. I don't love crystals on a 10 hour bus ride to the next town over when Speaker 2 00:12:49 You can't poop in the bus. Speaker 4 00:12:50 Exactly. So I'm, I tell Kayla's like, dude, don't get Crystal. It's gonna be a bad idea. And that was the last we heard of it Show's over boom, a million crystals on the bus. Everybody walks on the bus is like, what the fuck Caleb Crystals for after show food. How the hell are we gonna get to wherever we're going next? And I was like, told you dog, we still, people still bring it up to this day. This probably happened in 2021. It was people up, no crystals for after show foods. They sat there. They not, nobody touched 'em cause everybody was scared to death. We're like, no chance we're eating these crystals. And it just like, like, oh man. It's like, I guess I really did like fuck up this <laugh>. Speaker 2 00:13:29 It's just so funny cuz you screw up after show food by either not getting it or getting something no one likes. And I swear to God you could have a, you could have given everyone a golden egg and their on their bunk pillow every morning for your entire career. You do that once and all of a sudden nobody's ever gonna let you forget about it. You just order crystals and you are one time. You are a piece of shit for doing this Speaker 4 00:13:51 <laugh>. It is so funny. I love how it gets brought up. Ugh. Speaker 2 00:13:53 It's incredible. It does. But I, I've already told everybody like, you'll know if you really pissed me off because I'm gonna get crystals for after show food Speaker 4 00:14:00 Again. <laugh> and every, that's the thing. Like you just, you got like, you got like 12 grown ass men that have just, everybody's been working all day. It's hot. You know, all the things. It's like, that's why after show food, everybody like loves it so much. I guess it's so important. It makes everybody happy. But it was like the one time I, I give Caleb props. It's great. Just that one time and it still gets brought up. Man, it's so funny. That's funny. Speaker 2 00:14:23 I'll never live it down. <laugh>. Speaker 4 00:14:25 The Crystal King. Crystal Caleb. Speaker 2 00:14:26 Yeah. You just don't you, the one thing y'all may get crystals when we're on full man shows, but you just wait. If you ever go on an acoustic run with us when there's only five people on the bus, I get to kind of ball out a little bit for after show food. So instead of getting like Papa Johns, I'll get Mel Mushroom and like upgrade it one step. Speaker 4 00:14:41 Oh, stepping it up. Speaker 2 00:14:42 It's awesome man. Acoustic shows phenomenal. I know it puts you out of a job but man, sometimes I just wish we were doing af acoustic shows again sometimes just so Speaker 4 00:14:50 I can, I can, I just don't Speaker 2 00:14:51 No's easy. I can still make my Speaker 4 00:14:52 That way No still live. Yeah. <laugh>. I can make my truck payment and still buy beer. There Speaker 2 00:14:57 You go. <laugh> there gets Speaker 4 00:14:58 You sick. So I need Travis to play a full band shows. Speaker 2 00:15:00 That's true. Ain't nothing wrong with that. I, I don't complain. I just, you know, when my job gets real easy it's hard to go back <laugh>. But Speaker 4 00:15:08 Yeah, all in all great weekend. Everybody had great shows so for sure. Uh, I wanted to bring this up. You you saying Corey Kent? Yeah. Super cool dude. Looks just like William Byron. Yeah. Yeah. Damn. Kale about spit his bear ass <laugh> looks just Speaker 2 00:15:21 Like William. I didn't even by, I didn't even think about that at all. That's funny as hell. I Speaker 4 00:15:24 Didn't just recently Byron's kind of getting, growing a little little. His facial hair is like blondish colored going a little stubble, you know. Yeah. Being a little Speaker 3 00:15:31 Beardy boy. Little Speaker 4 00:15:32 Tiny qui. Corey has the same little, little uh, blonde beard thing going on. And I'm sitting there and I'm like, I'd never seen this kid, I'd never seen Corey in my whole life. Ever. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. And I've heard about him obviously cuz he is very popular, but I'd never seen him. And I was like, holy fuck William Byron is opening the fucking show <laugh>. And it was it, it was it. I was like, wow. I was like, this would be great to talk about on the podcast. That's hilarious. Cory, Canton, William Byron. Speaker 2 00:15:57 I can't believe he never said anything while we were out there. I never even thought Speaker 4 00:15:59 About it. The best part is, I have thought to tell you this multiple times and it just, I don't know. I never, never happened, but my goodness dude looks just like it. They could be brothers. Speaker 2 00:16:07 That's so funny. But anyway. But you can think about that. Yeah. Speaker 4 00:16:10 Wow. Got the crowd fucking going. So that's really all Speaker 2 00:16:14 He did. I even told them that. I was like, man, that's probably the most excited. I've seen the crowd for an opener in a long time. Speaker 3 00:16:18 Man, their show's so tight, honestly. Like, I remember seeing them before, he was like super popular and I was like, their band is so tight. Like they're just like, they're, they play really well Speaker 2 00:16:27 Together. Speaker 4 00:16:27 Yeah, they do. Heck, you, they come out and uh, we, I didn't obviously know how their crew or band, whoever, I didn't know who it was. Who mm-hmm. <affirmative>, they start loading in and none of their guys are wearing shirts. And there's a dude out there that's just big as me out there, no shirt on, just tits out. And I was like, all right. Hell yeah brother. You know? And uh, there's like some stuff that we have in front of the stage. Stairs, pedal boards, keyboards that like for sometimes like when we're like, when we like on these other, we've had to move them, you know, stuff. And I was like, is there, is this pedal board and stuff gonna be in your way? And he goes, whatever makes your out life easier. Makes me happy. And I was like, fuck it, this paddle boy's gonna Speaker 2 00:17:05 Stay right here, <laugh>. It ain't moving. I was, it Speaker 4 00:17:07 Ain't moving. He was like, that's fine with me. And it ended up being his bass player. That's, so Speaker 2 00:17:11 Heather drummer was wearing the, one of the coolest Dale Earnhardt shirts I've ever seen. It had the two on the top and had like one of the old oldest kind three here and then the, uh, the I intimidator three, the black one. Man, it was, he also, Speaker 4 00:17:23 It was cool also, he also has a tom drum made out of a beer keg. Never seen that before in my life. Pretty badass though. Yeah. I thought it was a 55 gallon drum. I was like, <laugh> dude, what is this? And he's like, yeah man, it's just made out of an old beer keg. I was like, holy shit. Speaker 3 00:17:38 That's so great. Speaker 4 00:17:39 That's awesome. He also told me it sounded like shit <laugh>. And he's like, but then when you mic it up it sounds good. And I was like, all right, I'll take your word for it. Speaker 2 00:17:45 And then our uh, guitar tech bud, he is like, yeah, you put a microphone on that, it's just gonna sound like shit louder. <laugh> <laugh>. Speaker 4 00:17:52 I died laughing when Bud said that. I thought that was so damn funny. Speaker 2 00:17:55 <laugh> he has, he has shit Speaker 4 00:17:57 But louder Speaker 2 00:17:58 Man. But yeah, we finally got home yesterday, uh, about pretty early, like 1130 in the morning. So me and Allison, we went out and got uh, our redneck pool party out. So we had this pool. It's about the size of the, maybe a little smaller than the room, but there's just a, just good enough that you can like sit in it. Oh yeah. So we filled that sucker up and had that keep the heat away. Heck yeah. Had that sitting out there with a cooler right next to it. We had the TV set up outside on top of uh, one of Dawson's Coleman coolers. Speaker 4 00:18:24 Maxwell and Cynthia came over. Speaker 2 00:18:25 Yeah, Maxwell and Cynthia came over and that was a lot of fun. Fun. Hell yeah. Sat outside, watch the race. Started Speaker 4 00:18:30 To watch the race out there. The race gets under a rain delay. So we watched the Indy car race and then about the time the NASCAR race gets cranked back up, starts raining and not in, it's raining in Nashville where we're at. So we have to get the computer and the stuff all inside. So we ended up finishing the race in the indoors. Yeah. Caleb made, Caleb and Allison made some Turkey sketch. Speaker 2 00:18:52 Yeah, Turkey sketch. Speaker 4 00:18:53 I made me a big old steak. Mm. That was a good asparagus. Good night potatoes. That sounds like Speaker 2 00:18:58 Better Speaker 4 00:18:58 Than the wings I ate. Speaker 2 00:19:00 It was definitely better than the wings you ate. I'm not gonna lie. <laugh> Speaker 4 00:19:03 Sunday tradition dude. Cook food, drink beer, watch the race and tone. You gotta get a T-shirt that says drink beer. Watch eat food. Watch your cook food. Watch the race. Yeah. Speaker 2 00:19:12 Drink beer. Cook food, watch race. Speaker 4 00:19:13 Yeah, that's Sundays, that's merch man. And then the back just says a Sunday. That's look out Speaker 2 00:19:18 For our merch coming sometime 2025. <laugh>. Can't wait for it Speaker 4 00:19:21 When this podcast, it's more than nine listeners. Speaker 2 00:19:24 We can maybe get some merch. Randy, please invite your friends to listen to this podcast so we can afford to make merch. Speaker 4 00:19:29 Shout out Randy. Randy gets a shout out every week. Randy Speaker 2 00:19:32 Deserves a shoutout every, Speaker 4 00:19:33 He is not coming to the Augusta show. He wants me to. He ah, had the dates mixed up. He needs to, gets to the Athens show. So now I gotta ask fun Scott to flip flop. Ah, tickets from a Augusta to Athens. There you go. Which I think are just two nights of like back to back. Yeah, Speaker 2 00:19:48 They're right next to each other. Speaker 4 00:19:49 We gotta flip flop though. So Randy haven't asked yet, but I'm working on him. We'll Speaker 2 00:19:53 Get you there. No worries. I'm the one that turns in the guest list so I can just lie. <laugh>. There we go. Don't tell the tour manager <laugh>. Okay. Speaker 4 00:19:59 We just pencil it in. Yeah, Speaker 2 00:20:00 I do not do that a lot. Actually. Two Speaker 4 00:20:02 Tickets please. Speaker 2 00:20:03 Hey, someone forgot Whoop <laugh>. I always tell 'em to hold two extras. Anyway, there Speaker 4 00:20:08 We go. So we should have you covered Randy. Hell Speaker 2 00:20:11 Yeah. Uh, but either way now. Yeah, I think it's time for race time. So we are at Gateway. We drove by the, drove by the track in the middle of the night. Chuck ended up seeing it. Uh, I know our drummer and guitar player were still up. They saw the arch as we were driving by going to Lampe, Lampe lamp, Saint Louis. Yeah. So apparently it was pretty lit up. They, he could tell where the track was and everything. So Really? Yeah, Speaker 4 00:20:34 That's, I don't even hear about that. Speaker 2 00:20:35 That's what Chuck said. He said he saw it, so that's pretty cool. Uh, so we were within miles of the track at one point. We didn't go see the race though. Speaker 4 00:20:43 We were right outside of Joplin, Missouri, which is the most famously known for Jamie McMurray's hometown. Mm-hmm Speaker 2 00:20:49 There you go. Okay. Speaker 4 00:20:50 That's where Lampe or Lampe, wherever, whatever the hell it's called. That's, that's where it'd be. Speaker 2 00:20:55 We should get Jamie on here to tell us how to pronounce the name of that town. <laugh>. Yeah, we should. It'd be awesome. Speaker 4 00:21:00 Jam Murray. Best hair in nascar. Hell yeah. It's, uh, Speaker 2 00:21:03 But yeah, it was a, it was a really fun race for as short as it was supposed to be. Cause this race was only supposed to be 300 miles. I finally figured it out because of the math. Speaker 4 00:21:11 It's 200, Speaker 2 00:21:12 So lap it's 207 miles, so it's 300 miles. It's that's a short ass race. Like he told me about that and I was kind of disappointed. Turns out. Didn't need to be disappointed at all because of the lightning delay they had in the first stage. Speaker 4 00:21:24 <laugh>, it felt like an all day affair. Speaker 2 00:21:26 Yeah, it was like an hour and a half lightning delay. And then they had that red flag and then they had another red flag for oil all over the track at one point. I mean it was just constant chaos going on there in the third stage. So that race just felt like it took all day. It felt like a 600 almost Speaker 4 00:21:40 Started at three and ended at nine. Pretty Speaker 2 00:21:42 Much. That's a 600 level right there. Yeah. Speaker 4 00:21:44 Dang. Speaker 2 00:21:44 Really cool. I I enjoyed the heck out of it. It was a really fun race. Lots of side by side racing. The only complaint I have is if you're on the top four, wherever you're at, you're staying there. You're not going any further. So it was, that was my only complaint. But there was a lot of mid-pack racing, a lot of feelings got hurt. A lot of people were getting doored and there Speaker 4 00:22:01 Was a lot of pissed off, pissed off people between trucks bush and Cup this week. Yeah, Speaker 2 00:22:05 I didn't really see much about the trucks, so I don't know much about that, Speaker 4 00:22:07 But I don't, I can't think of an example, but I'm sure somebody was pissed off at somebody. Oh, Zane Smith and them, that's who it was. Majeski and uh, Majeski goes down there and just runs out of town and runs into Zayne Smith and Zane Smith's like, damn, this is what I get for staying in the truck series. <laugh>. <laugh>. So you had that, which they weren't like super pissed. And then I'm definitely gonna dive off into the Bush wreck. Yeah, Bush races for sure later for sure. But yeah, Speaker 2 00:22:34 It was a lot worth talking about that for a, for a road course. It actually ended up pretty entertaining. Yeah, Speaker 4 00:22:39 It was, it was dope. And then yesterday there were some hurt feelings as well, which was, you know, always fun. Heck Speaker 2 00:22:46 Yeah. It was a lot of fun watching it. I really enjoyed the Speaker 4 00:22:48 Heck out it Jackson took a super hard hit. Thank you. On the uh, driver's side door. There's a lot of broken brake rotors yesterday. Yeah, I was weird. Speaker 2 00:22:56 That was strange. And I heard them talking about how it was because the straightaways are so long, the brakes get super hot in the corner, then they're able to cool down the straightaway and then they get super hot in the corner and they have use Speaker 4 00:23:07 A ton of brakes so it yeah, really joss 'em up, I guess Speaker 2 00:23:10 Cycling that heat just caused those brake ros to fail and the first one to go was Carson Hova and everybody was giving him all sorts of props and I mean he deserved it. He was doing, I mean he was running Speaker 4 00:23:19 Like top 15 when it happened. Speaker 2 00:23:20 Uh, yeah, I think he was in 16th at the time. So he was right there knocking on the door and he was making passes to get where he was. So, I mean he was doing a great job. I mean for our original hack of the week, he, he managed to make a, a good showing out that the Speaker 4 00:23:32 OG Rat hooker, Speaker 2 00:23:33 The OG Ride Hooker <laugh>. Speaker 4 00:23:35 I, I just, it was very, it was surprising like, uh, he, he outran Corey Lejo in the nine all day, which uh, the we, the whole deal, everybody already knows now. Corey Joy is in the nine cuz Chase was suspended, put Host AAR in the seven host AAR Outran the nine by like an average of 10 to 15 positions the whole time he was out on the track. Yeah. Which I don't think one single person would've bet on that. Like no one saw that coming, like no one Speaker 2 00:24:01 Would've bet on that. But whose fault was it? That's what I want to know. Uh, was it really a Hendrick Motorsports problem? Was it Speaker 4 00:24:08 They ran like dog dodoo all day. So I don't know. Speaker 2 00:24:10 I don't know if I could say that though because Larson gets up there and he's managing it and I know Larson's a completely different animal with Cliff Daniels also completely different Speaker 4 00:24:17 Animal but off, but ran terrible all day. The Speaker 2 00:24:20 24 ended up in the top 10 and ran there most of the day, Speaker 4 00:24:23 But still finished like 21st or worst, which Caleb calls this in the middle of the race. Caleb goes, dude, I feel like the 24 is only up there because he's in first. Like if he gets outta first, he's gonna drop like a rock. And this dude he goes to second and fucking Corey, Kent, William Byron Jr. Boom, straight to the back and ran like 20 something was like what? Listen, it was Speaker 2 00:24:43 So funny because I didn't even remember I said it, I said it when William Byron was leading, was leading the race. He was and Speaker 4 00:24:48 Doing very well. Speaker 2 00:24:49 Probably like what, 30 something. Like I can't, I don't know, I can't tell you what the number was, but he was up there for a long period of time. Speaker 4 00:24:54 It cracked me up because he was doing so well and Caleb just said, Speaker 2 00:24:56 And I was just like, man, I really feel like he is only leading I, the only reason that he is doing well right now is because he's leading the race but you put him in second or third and you get him in a little bit of dirty air and that mother's gonna just fall right back to the back. And that's what happened. And boom, that's exactly what happened, <laugh>. And it was Speaker 4 00:25:12 Like, okay, so like something was up with Hendrick. Yeah. Uh, we, I looked up last year and I don't, I didn't look it up. People were just talking about it. They all ran bad last year too. Larson finished 12th was the highest finish in one of last year. Like Bowman ran bad, Larson ended up being fine, but he had to use two tire strategy and fight his ass off to stay up in the top five. He Speaker 2 00:25:34 Was only up there for pure talent Speaker 4 00:25:36 In the strength in the, if you just straight heads up on, I mean he was running like dog shit too. And Speaker 2 00:25:41 William Byron ended up in the top 10. I'm looking at it now. He ended up eighth Speaker 4 00:25:44 So that's surprising. But Speaker 2 00:25:45 Two, two Hendrick Motorsports colors finishing in the top 10, but one by sheer talent, one by dumb luck and the other two, I don't even know where the heck uh, William, uh, Bobman Bowman ended up, Speaker 4 00:25:57 I don't know, he didn't run good either. I don't feel like, Speaker 2 00:26:00 Yeah, he didn't do well as much Speaker 4 00:26:03 But can't even find him. That's the thing. That's the thing. It's like, I don't know if Hendrick is just weird there or what, but I know stepping into a car is super hard when you haven't been in one or you know, not in a car like that. But Corey comes out. I mean just, I don't know. I had high expectations. I put a bet on him for top five and it just didn't happen. Speaker 2 00:26:25 I mean, I had high expectations too, but I honestly have a theory that Hendrick doesn't pay attention to tracks like this that are one-offs in the middle of the schedule. They assume everybody's gonna have wins to get them into the playoffs. So I don't wanna know how much they actually focused on their gateway setups as much as anybody else would. I think they're a bit more concerned with the one-offs that are like road courses, places that they're not gonna go back to in the playoffs, but they know it's gonna be a little bit more of a, of, of a, like a leveler because the track is so difficult or so weird or so different that there's no point in focusing too much on them because we got other tracks we'd like to focus on more. So I wonder if that's kind of what's going on with, with that particular racetrack. Speaker 4 00:27:07 I would counter that with just something I heard Jamie McMurray and Larry Max say like Phoenix and Gateway are so similar that back in the day to test your Phoenix car, you took it to Gateway. Like James Murray talking about all the laps he's turned at Gateway, he's like never ran a race there. But I tested there all the time to prepare for Phoenix. He was like, most of these guys when we're racing at Gateway, they're building their notebook for Phoenix. So I'm not saying I agree or disagree, but I do think that's like, they're very similar racetracks. So yeah, I could totally see it happening. Speaker 2 00:27:44 I could see what you're saying there for sure. I just, man, I just don't know how much they, uh, how much they're focused on that particular one. I mean, if they're building the Phoenix setup, maybe they're getting some information out of it that isn't necessarily pertinent to way Speaker 4 00:27:57 Or what if they're trying crazy shit and they just find out it didn't work. Exactly. You know, whatever. Like let's try it at Gateway and and and attest it there. Yeah. Speaker 2 00:28:04 Give it a shot. Yeah. And don't, don't cheat the car up too much, but just make sure you can pass through tech at the end of the day and try some crazy stuff out and then see what happens at the end of the year. That could be totally, that's totally possible. I can see that being, Speaker 4 00:28:16 I wanna bring something up about cheating. I love cheating. I have never in my, so do I I have never in my life though. There is, I feel like every car that gets talked about being cheated up, you know, X, Y and z, they come out and skunk the field or it's like a car that like NASCAR will, uh, that doesn't normally run well, boom or run, you know, top eight, top 10. Not, maybe not win, but like run really well. NASCAR's like hey that's, that's Eyecatching. Let's take that to the r and d center. Fucking Chase Briscoe man, he's getting, he's getting out ran by JJ Ailey and BJ McLeod two weeks of the last week, right. Last week before we did the podcast. And it, and it's like a big thing. Like everybody's joking about how shitty his car is running comes back right after we get done with the podcast the other day. Speaker 4 00:29:04 Hits him with the biggest fine in NASCAR history for putting an L first, first ever L three penalty in NASCAR history for counterfeit making this engine duck thing on the bottom. It was fake, not supposed to be on the car. All this stuff. And he ran like absolute dog shit. So if you're gonna cheat and be a race car driver, at least cheat and run top five <laugh>, don't cheat and run 30th for real in a essay. It's, it's just like that is the most embarrassing thing I have ever seen. And I did not know this until yesterday. Another Larry Mack thing, an L three penalty, they can take you out that can suspend you for one race and take you out of playoff eligibility completely. If they wanted, they could have told the 14 team you could win every race the rest of the year. You are not playoff eligible. Can't win the championship for committing an L three penalty. I so they committed an L three penalty and ran 30th. Speaker 2 00:29:54 I think NASCAR knew there was no chance they were making the playoffs anyway. I Speaker 4 00:29:58 Just can't believe that. Speaker 2 00:29:59 I mean it shows them, I don't think there was a problem with Chase Briscoe's car yesterday. Am I wrong? Did anything happen? Did any incident happen with Chase Briscoe? Oh no Speaker 4 00:30:07 I don't. Speaker 2 00:30:08 I don't think so. This mug ran 34th. He is behind Keslowski who was running a V6 Speaker 4 00:30:15 V6, literally ran a V6 and finished on the lead lap and Speaker 2 00:30:18 He finished behind him. He finished behind Greg Goldwin. He finished behind four people that had Speaker 4 00:30:23 Accidents. That is absolutely mine. Oh, something did happen to Briscoe. He was like 50 something laps down. He was in the garage. I'm an complete idiot. Okay. We're sitting on Briscoe for no reason. Sorry, I mean Speaker 2 00:30:33 For this week I don't think it's a Briscoe problem. I think it's an s sr problem. Yes, for sure. I don't think Briscoe has anything going on. I actually really like Briscoe. So do I as a person. I like, he's a race car driver. He was extremely talented, an Xfinity series and he deserves all the praise. He gets first winner of the Roal in the Xfinity series. I'd just like to remind everybody of that. He's one Speaker 4 00:30:51 Cup's won, cup Xs. I mean he's a, he's a race winning NASCAR driver. Speaker 2 00:30:55 He is. He's won. He yeah, he has, he won at Phoenix last year and did really well there this year. So he has talent. This man is not that bad team. Speaker 4 00:31:02 He had four top top fives in Speaker 2 00:31:03 A row. His crumbling around him. Tony Stewart invited him to his dinner table in his home and said, would you like to join my crumbling team that is gonna do nothing but shit on your career for the rest of your life? And Chase Briscoe said yes. Not knowing what he was walking into. Speaker 4 00:31:19 Uh, man, they docked him 25 uh, playoff points so he could literally win five races and that would get him to zero. Yeah, that's how they're just screwed. I mean they are 1000% screwed. This Speaker 2 00:31:31 Is a ride off here next year. Yeah, maybe next Speaker 4 00:31:33 Year. Cory Smith's style maybe next year. <laugh>. Yeah. I I just, I just have to bring up how funny that is though. Cause we didn't talk about it last week to just cheat it up and get an L three penalty and run. Yeah. Get out ran by Rick Ware and BJ McLeod cars. I Speaker 2 00:31:48 Just, I I, we've talked about it a little bit. I can't figure out what the problem is. Is it Haass, is it Stewart? Is it, what's going on here? Because Hoss runs like crap in f1. Tony Stewart's off being married and running drag races or how much attention is this NASCAR team actually getting And he talks about it on the broadcast, how much they're missing, how much they're wrong, how much they're different. And Tony Stewart's just up there with all, he's pointing it out. He's just as blatantly honest about it as we are, but there's not, I don't see any change coming. Nothing's happening. But Speaker 4 00:32:22 Then you have Harvey run top five all day yesterday. Yeah. Like I think that's because he is Kevin Harvey and Rodney Childers like two of the goats, uh, in their respective, you know, working things like that. That is why. But dude, when he leaves the HHR is going bankrupt. Like I don't know they're gonna run. I agree. They're gonna run 25th. Speaker 2 00:32:41 How are you gonna, Mahindra is not sticking around to run like there's a tractor in the field like we said last week. It's just the meme, not Speaker 4 00:32:47 The memes are coming but like Chase Briscoe looks like he's driving a tractor in a field of race cars. Damn. He does. It's a tough scene out. There's bad Speaker 2 00:32:55 But it is bad. Speaker 4 00:32:56 That's enough about that. But I just wanted to bring that up. So no, I Speaker 2 00:32:59 No, I completely Speaker 4 00:32:59 Agree. Got it off. Got it off my chest of how just crazy it is to run that bad and have a L three cheated up car. I Speaker 2 00:33:06 Completely agree with everything you just said. It's, it's, it is mind blowing. It is. But you know one team that's not struggling this year rcr you what? It's our third win with Kyle Bus this week. They are already tied for the lead in the playoff standings now. Yeah. When have they been that good? When have they been that good And I would brought this up with you yesterday. Have they been that good only having Austin Dylan drive the car for all those years? Because like we talked about Aus uh, Tyler Reddick gets in the car last year. Three wins wins three wins, uh, wins three races. They're back at that exact same point now. So obviously they've been good for three years. Three Speaker 4 00:33:42 Wins before Redick got hit, like three wins before Reddit. Reddit got three total, you know. Yeah. And like he's already got three. We're not, we're just now we're not, we're a couple races from halfway. Exactly. Speaker 2 00:33:54 And that's not a, the first half and that's not a knock on Tyler Reddick. Cause he, he was running up front all year long last year. He could could've more, Speaker 4 00:34:00 He could have had six or seven. He had some mechanical issues and tire failures that really messed him up outta some winds. Yeah. But dude, Randall Burnett dude is building some race cars. How Speaker 2 00:34:09 Long that, but that's my big question is how long have they been building these good race cars and just putting it all on the three and all on Austin Dillon? All you Speaker 4 00:34:16 Gotta do I think is listen to the Slugger Labi, uh, podcast with Dale Jr. And that just tells you everything you need to know about rcr. Okay. Speaker 2 00:34:25 You'll have to explain cuz I didn't listen to him when, Speaker 4 00:34:26 When Slugger's talking about he was, he's crew chief and Ty Dillon and Ty Dylan's in an unsponsored car and he passes Austin Dillon in a race and like ran top five all day and he's up underneath the following Monday, like up underneath working on Ty's car. Somebody kicks him on the feet and then I was like, Hey man, you're the crew chief of the three now talking about Austin. That's all you need to know. They don't give a fuck about anybody else. They're gonna put whoever to try to help him. And I, to your point, I think they've been building badass race cars for a long time. And I'm not just here to completely publicly shit on Austin Dillon, but I'm gonna throw this stat out. Austin Dill has been full-time cup racing for 10 years. He has four wins. Yep. Kyle Busch has been racing for RCR for 16 weeks and has three wins. Yep. And is tied with William Byron for the points lead. Speaker 2 00:35:18 And Tyler Reddick went out there and got those three wins last year. Speaker 4 00:35:20 And Tyler Reddick three wins last year. Speaker 2 00:35:22 So, so, so it, I mean maybe some eyes are finally opening over there, but they have completely turned their program around from running mid pack, 15th place making the playoffs eliminated in the first round to, I could see the eight car winning championship Speaker 4 00:35:37 This year. Let's, let's pr, let's praise the Bush series two. Austin Hill has three wins and is leading the Bush series point. Yep. It's like RCR as a whole is cooking with peanut oil in, in a great way. Cooking Speaker 2 00:35:46 With peanut oil, but you're cooking with vegetable oil. Speaker 4 00:35:48 I am as of yesterday, Speaker 2 00:35:49 As of yesterday, had to bring it up. We went to go buy oil for his Blackstone. He had looked at the peanut oil and it's like, ah, we sell it in five gallon quantities, nothing's Speaker 4 00:35:57 About a hundred dollars. Like well that's, Speaker 2 00:35:59 I can't do that too much. He's be like, we're good. I'll take some olive over. Yeah, Speaker 4 00:36:02 Yeah. I took some vegetable Speaker 2 00:36:03 Oil. Give me some of that pure canola, but Speaker 4 00:36:06 Man, Speaker 2 00:36:07 Yeah. So Speaker 4 00:36:07 Wow. That just cracks me up. I I Joe Gibbs saying, man can't find Kyle Busch any, he sponsorships, they got the whole, whole season. All these sponsors, like all these people are suppo are wanting to work with Kyle Bush can't do this, can't do that. Kyle Bus. They're th people are like, is Kyle Bus washed up? You know, he's not winning any races. He's won three races in the last few years with Joe Gibbs. Boom. Change his scenes, all these sponsorships and he is won three races. It's like, man, Kyle fucking Bush is back K f b dude. He's he's he's back rowdy getting cheers man. Heck yeah. Speaker 2 00:36:39 The original Rowdy the original. Come on now Speaker 4 00:36:42 He uh, Carl Edwards is another Dale Jr. Story. Carl Edwards was uh, at the 75 most greatest driver things at Darlington. He goes out, we were just having the conversation about the booze and the cheers and he's back there with Dale Jr. And like Martin Truex couple guys and Kyle Bus gets announced and everybody goes crazy and Carl looks over at Dale. He's like, when what, what, when did that, when did that start happening? Cause Kyle used to get nothing but booze man. And that has changed. Like you could hear it on the, on the uh, broadcast yesterday. I mean you can just hear the people cheering. Yeah. Speaker 2 00:37:14 People are on the Calab bus train this year. They are. Speaker 4 00:37:16 It's cuz he is the adult candy man now with the weed sponsorship now. Damn. That's Speaker 2 00:37:19 Why <laugh> damn you're just candy ass. Speaker 4 00:37:21 That's me candy ass. And he's the candy man. Yeah. The Speaker 2 00:37:24 Slight difference. Big difference in meaning. But yeah he's been uh, he's been absolutely killing it this year. I am, I'm loving watching what he's doing And he's Speaker 4 00:37:33 Pronating that Speaker 2 00:37:33 Yesterday. Yeah. He's proven that he is just as good of a race car driver as he ever has been. Definitely Speaker 4 00:37:39 Not washed up. Speaker 2 00:37:40 No, not washed up. I think he just was having a hard few years. Just look at his demeanor in the way that he does his interviews nowadays. He looks happy. He does. I just wonder how much he was just struggling over there and just not happy with what was going on with the Joe Gibbs camp. And that doesn't mean that Joe Gibbs is doing anything wrong. It just means it wasn't working anymore. Speaker 4 00:37:57 It's almost like you said yesterday, he's like, they had like a, like a governor on a choke on him. Like, like he couldn't, he just was, you know, being like here and he needed to like have that barrier broken a little bit. Yeah. And like now he can, he's running the damn dirt car running the, they're running like this week at Tri City TriCounty that track that's near there. Him and his boy both won races on dirt out there this week. It's like, I don't know dude, he, he, he's a car's scary. A car is a contender for the championship. Speaker 2 00:38:27 Yeah, definitely a contender. The 24 is definitely a contender. Eight's definitely a contender. I could see both of them doing well. I'm just waiting for the 12 to get up there and join him. Him Speaker 4 00:38:35 12 did good yesterday too. He Speaker 2 00:38:36 Did. He did. I don't think he had a race winning car. I think Kyle Busch was the one to beat all day long. Nobody had anything to go up against him. The only person that even got close was the five and the 12. Yep. And both of 'em ran behind him the whole time. And Speaker 4 00:38:48 The only reason the five was up there was cuz Cliff Daniel was making some awesome calls and adjustments. Yeah, it Speaker 2 00:38:53 Definitely was true. And they managed to make it to the end of the race on that two tire. On that two tire call Speaker 4 00:38:58 Ended up finishing fourth right? Speaker 2 00:38:59 I think so, yeah. And then Blaney ended up finishing six but that was just madness at the end. I mean the, there was so much going on they just could not keep it green. They could not keep it green like a lawn in Texas. It was just yellow all day long. <laugh> damn <laugh>. But Speaker 4 00:39:14 It's what it is though. It Speaker 2 00:39:16 Was, it was a lot of fun. It was just really funny to watch that bar they have at the top of the, of race tracking where the green flags, the yellow flags and the red flags are. I Speaker 4 00:39:23 Enjoy that Speaker 2 00:39:24 Little bar. I love that little bar. It was just funny cuz it turned to plaid at the end. It was all just like green, yellow, red, green, yellow, red, red, yellow, green. And it just was the whole way across it. Speaker 4 00:39:33 They had a, they had a few, they had a red flag. The the so many like four or five brakes like we said broke and those guys hit the outside wall and turn one so much they had to like weld it back down and shit. Like repair Speaker 2 00:39:44 It. Yeah. That was crazy. I've never seen them have to do that before. Fix the wall because it got hit so hard and it's not even that big of a track. It was just people were, they were going in there with no breaks. You coming in 160 boom. Yeah Speaker 4 00:39:54 Back. How the dude, dude in the crowd gets hit in the chest with a piece of Noah Grayson's brake Roder his chest is all bruised up and bloody takes his shirt off, takes a picture. Dude's eyes is like, he's drinking about 30 beers in the last four hours. <laugh> got his titties out. Chest is all messed up and Noah aggression's like, damn dude hat something off my car hit you. Like we're gonna fix you up. Right. Like some of your info. So he'll probably have v i p passes the next time they come around Speaker 2 00:40:21 Probably. So I wonder if he's gonna give him a haircut too and just give him that same old bull free trip to Sports clips. Here you go. Only one, only one cuddle out though. Sorry about your bad luck. Speaker 4 00:40:32 I just thought that was super cool though with Noah like doing that. That's you know. Speaker 2 00:40:35 Ah Noah's, Noah's a fan guy ambassador man. He is a fan ambassador. Yeah I would love to have him call in on this show. I Speaker 4 00:40:41 Would, I'd love for him to drive a car. That was worth a fuck. Yeah. Speaker 2 00:40:44 Yeah. Legacy Motorsports man. Speaker 4 00:40:46 I think going to Toyota next Toyota next year will be incredible for them. Speaker 2 00:40:49 Well they want, they're, you know, Toyota's gonna wanna see Richard Petty and Jimmy Johnson's team do well. So they're gonna focus on it a lot more than Chevy is. I don't know what the heck Chevy's been. I know Chevy's, uh, since they're going away, obviously Chevy doesn't want to keep investing in a team that's going away from but super Speaker 4 00:41:03 Weird. Speaker 2 00:41:04 They weren't really doing a whole lot for 'em to begin with. Now all of a sudden Speaker 4 00:41:08 Is the only Speaker 2 00:41:08 Chevy team Speaker 4 00:41:08 On track. They won races last year, not races. They won the Southern 500. So they did. I don't know, I think Toyota next year will be great for them cause that'll get, that'll get 10 Toyotas on the track total and then when Jimmy makes his appearances it'll be 11 when he's in there. So Yeah. Speaker 2 00:41:24 And then they need more cars on the track. Especially when they go to those super speedways and they don't have the uh, the teammate structure Yep. That everybody else has. They're always having a bootleg on somebody else's strategy. Yep. Gonna open up their abilities to win those kind of races a lot more. Yeah. Daytona 500 s are already, a lot of Toyotas have already won 'em. I mean Denny Hamlin three but he already got three on his own. They're just gonna have a lot more of a chance to win those big eye-opening style or races. People are already coming around to Toyota's just in the general public. I mean, who doesn't want, I have a Toyota Matt Burrell out, there's got his part in the grass right now as we speak. So premium, premium stuff. So it'll be cool to see them actually step up their investment in NASCAR and make another team a top tier team. Yeah, I'm excited to see about, I'm excited to see that as a Ford guy. I'm excited to Speaker 4 00:42:11 See itm. I'm excited to see it too. T RD has put a lot of money in the NASCAR over the last, you know, 15 years that they've been a part of, they've put a lot of money. That's why I think that they'll, there'll be no issue with the Jimmy and them coming in. I think it'll be badass. And Noah and Eric Jones were both Toyota drivers originally, but there was nowhere for him to go. So they ended up being Chevrolet drivers. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. So, yeah, Speaker 2 00:42:36 It's gonna be cool, uh, since we're getting a little bit into the cup race now, you wanna switch over to Xfinity? I do. Talk about your, uh, Speaker 4 00:42:41 Hack right here. Early can Wait. I can't wait Speaker 2 00:42:48 For this. So, heck yeah. Go, go to town, man. Go, go to town. Speaker 4 00:42:51 Jeb Burton, ward son, everybody knows him. You know, whatever he, I post, I am not on the Jeb Burton train. I've never been on the Jeb Burton train because his train is all whistle, no train <laugh> Speaker 2 00:43:07 All whistle, no steam <laugh>. It Speaker 4 00:43:08 Is fucking, this dude is all talk, no action always. And I get, I've like kind, I feel like he just, he just goofy in about everything. He also doesn't season his meat on his grill. And people roast him about that on the internet, which is funny. What? He'll post a picture like some chicken on the grill, no seasoning. People just like shit on him about that. So, we'll shit on him that first. Why did you know? We'll, shit on him that first. Okay. Can't Speaker 2 00:43:34 Cook, can't drive. He's only got one of the three on Dawson's shirt going for him right now. He, Speaker 4 00:43:39 He is, he always pulls that poor, poor pit for me card, which I cannot stand. It's, I, I literally post a Terry Clark song all the time on Twitter because when these guys make these posts, I just post the screenshot of that poor, poor pit for me, Terry Clark song. It's like, dude, so back, this was not last year, this was a couple years ago. He used to drive for Dale Jr. For a split second, like one season. And him and Noah Braxton this now. So he did that. Now this, when this altercation happened a couple years ago, this is after he's driving, he's driving for someone else at this point. He and Noah Braxton, who won like 10 Bush races last year and has won. I mean, dude finished, I mean top 10 every week he, Doug Jackson's getting a little altercation and you can hear him say, I outran you in the same equipment every week. Speaker 4 00:44:31 Yeah. Said something along those lines. And Noah turns around and is just, gives him the most like, what the fuck look ever, right when he says that. Like, you gotta be kidding me, you just said that. So naturally, Twitter, being Twitter, they just post the receipts of them head-to-head and Noah beats this motherfucker every single time they're in a car. And it's hilarious. It even said that. So that's when I'm like, this is like a couple years ago. I'm like, dude, Jeb Burton's just not it, you know, <laugh> not it at all. And so then fast forward, he's, he's had things happen here and there, whatever, over the last couple years, poor poor pit for me, whatever. Last week, no, not last week. Saturday in the Bush race, we're in Portland. The only video evidence we see, there's no, they, they have shown everything. Now the 27 car, which is Jeb on the front straightaway, drives Chandler Smith almost into the inside wall, which would piss anybody off, obviously. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. So Chandler Smith goes out in the next corner and gives it to him, gives it to him, and gives it to him. I'm on the train of like, if you can't wreck him the first time, you probably shouldn't just keep driving through him, but Chandler Smith doesn't give a fuck. And he finally just drove through him and pushed him off in the grass, spun him out and Speaker 2 00:45:41 Chandler's already had a bad race. So to be picking on Chandler at this point, yeah, he got wrecked in the first freaking corner. He's pissed and came back and I think he had hit everything except for one of one wall in the pace car by the point that this comes around. Speaker 4 00:45:55 And he made sure he hit Jeff Burton a few times when this happened. Yeah. And this is like four to go when this, when this altercation goes down and they're running like pretty decently. They were running probably top 10, 12, somewhere in there when this happens. So he drives through and pushes him off into the grass. Well, Mr. Big bad Jeb Burton, he gets on there, he's gonna have a broke nose after this race, you know, yada yada y all this stuff. So after the race is over, all we see is Jeb Burton in a headlock by somebody that works for colleague and Speaker 2 00:46:25 Then headlock, the colleague guy also in a headlock by somebody that else I think works with Jeb Burton. So it's like this whole headlock train. It was weird. We've got one guy here and one guy that's getting choked up, choking somebody else out. It was the funniest thing. It Speaker 4 00:46:37 Looks so fake, honestly. It was hilarious. It was, it looks so fake. It was goofy. So we're like, you know, whatever. And that's all they show on tv. They don't have anything else on tv. So Jeb Burton, I don't know if he was drunk or what, but some dude comments like just rubbing around drunk. I don't course man, just drunk. No, I mean drunk on the internet one dude's like, I hope you're drunk because you're talking like English is your second language <laugh> on the internet. And he's just saying all stuff like, man, he's like shitting on Chandler Smith's wife said something about his wife on there. He says, uh, I let my fist do the talking. I, uh, he had to go to the Infield Care center cuz his nose is messed up. He's got black eyes, all this stuff. I mean post this publicly for the whole world to see. Wow. Chandler Smith makes a video. This is like, should be nominated for an Oscar or an Emmy, whatever, whatever this is. They make this video and I don't know if you've even seen it. No, I didn't even Speaker 2 00:47:29 Know know about this video yet. Speaker 4 00:47:30 Oh dude, I wish, I wish I could show it to y'all right now. It, it went so viral yesterday. It had like 250,000 views in like five minutes on the internet. I Speaker 2 00:47:37 Was face full of Turkey chei at that point. <laugh>. So I just couldn't even imagine. Speaker 4 00:47:41 So he made this video and he puts all these things that Jeb Burton says has the radio transmission of him. Like I'm gonna break his fucking noses. All this, all the things on he says on Twitter, which is like 20 different snippets of stuff. And they post the, he posts the rest of the fight video and Jeff Burton is like got his fist out like this, just like trying to get to him. He doesn't touch Chandler Smith never gets to him, nothing. So Chandler Smith, the last thing he's post is like Jeb posts something. He's like, had to go to the infield care center. Is that cuz he was just got his ass beat or because he was like wore out. And Chandler at the end of the videos Chandler's going videos his whole face. There's not a scratch, a bruise or nothing on it. And then he is just like, <laugh> and like, there's like John Cena in the video, like the video's like, hmm. You know, it's just, it's phenomenal. Please go look at it. Speaker 2 00:48:32 That's hilarious. I'm gonna have to look that up. <laugh>, Speaker 4 00:48:34 It was absolutely incredible. And to end that all to say Jeb Burton is my hack of the week and Jeb Burton is all whistled no train man. Speaker 2 00:48:43 So he lets his fist to the talking. It's just, they're not very loud <laugh> dude. Speaker 4 00:48:47 It's just, I was so fired up. I was like, dude, you're just making yourself look stupid. And it was getting to the point that people were saying shit like, are you drunk? Like, and he and he's, he's the shit he's saying is like, misspelled no punctuation, nothing. And it's like, no wonder you drive shit wagon cars, it's cuz you're a toolbag Speaker 2 00:49:07 Shit wagon. It was even funnier that him and Chris Rice are over there, John at each other. And he used to drive for colleague back in the day and got booted out of his, Speaker 4 00:49:15 I don't think colleagues, somebody, I don't think Chris Rice is somebody you wanna fuck with. I don't know if you've ever seen Matt colleague, but he looks pretty swollen. Someone said he was like a D one quarterback back in the day. So d I don't think you wanna fuck with him either. I Speaker 2 00:49:26 Wouldn't want to, man, I would not want to it, it would be ab it would be a bad idea. Dude's out there trophy hunting, he doesn't care who gets in his way, he wants it Speaker 4 00:49:34 Selling leaf guard filters and trophy hunting race cars. Man, it's awesome. He's just, the best part of the video is Matt colleagues standing on the wall just like this here Speaker 2 00:49:46 <laugh>. So Speaker 4 00:49:47 The, the whole fight, the whole fight is going down, the whole fight is going down. This dude is stone cold, no smile, just arms crossed. Like yeah I could kick every one of y'all's asses pretty and just pretty much as that's what it looked Speaker 2 00:49:59 Like, I'm just not gonna, you're lucky Speaker 4 00:50:01 For it. I'm just like, I don't know, I just feel like you just see the real Jeb Burton is as the weeks go by and it's like the reason you drive shit wagons is not because you don't have money is cuz you're a shitty fucking attitude. <laugh>. Speaker 2 00:50:13 Yeah, that'll do it. So that'll Speaker 4 00:50:15 Do it. Now he's probably gonna want to straight arm punch me in the face, which is fine, but Speaker 2 00:50:19 It probably won't hurt. Yeah, you'll be all right. Speaker 4 00:50:21 Taylor Smith's also from Georgia, so shout out to that as Speaker 2 00:50:24 Well. Yeah, and they've been, they've had a really good beginning of, of the season, but they've been struggling a little bit as of late. So for him to get wrecked out in the first corner, I could see why he was pissed off. But then again, as a, as another driver on the track, you've gotta understand this dude's coming all the way from the back. He deserves to be up front and he has earned a his spot up front. Then he got it taken away from him on the first corner. He's going to be coming with a head of steam. He's not gonna give a damn that you're in his way. Sometimes you gotta let a guy go to preserve your own race. You see it happen all the time. And they always say, man, that's mature, that's smart driving. Josh Berry did it for the seven about midway through the race whenever the seven was right on his, right on his bumper. I know their teammates, but still he moves over and lets the guy go, you just gotta do that. Saw it a lot at North Wilkesboro cuz people understood if I don't do this, they're going to wreck me and going into a corner trying to move me out of the way themselves. So you gotta make a choice here. At some point you do, you either gonna, you're either gonna contest this 25th spot or you're gonna let a guy go because he's probably a top five car and I'm back here in the twenties. Speaker 4 00:51:26 And let's just understand, let's just throw this out here. Jeb Burton has won two races in his whole NASCAR career. One was a Rainor in Talladega race and the other one was Talladega. Cuz every fucking body else reckoning he's only guy left. So there you go. Let's throw that out there. Chandler Smith has won a shit ton of truck races and this is his first ever season in Bush and he is already gotta win. Yep. Speaker 2 00:51:45 And he's and he runs top five consistently. Speaker 4 00:51:47 Yeah. And it's not like colleague is just like the greatest equipment in the world, but they're not dog shit. They're not shit wagons. They're not, Speaker 2 00:51:53 They four outta Speaker 4 00:51:53 Five. Yeah. They're not Dale Jr. You know, so like, well Speaker 2 00:51:56 Dale Jr this year isn't even Dale Jr. But that Speaker 4 00:51:58 Is true. They just got their first win last week. But man hack of the week, Jeb Burton. Dude, he can sign the trophy. Speaker 2 00:52:03 There you go. But it was a really fun Portland race. I did not expect much, but it turned into fist. Fist not really flying. It turned into the, Speaker 4 00:52:12 The most straight arm fist. I can't wait to show you the video later. His fist is just out like this. Like trying to like find his, find his body just Speaker 2 00:52:19 Superman style. Just hold it out there. Stupid. Yeah, he was really gonna really fun. I I enjoyed the heck out of it. Uh, 20 car and the two car had a great battle going on. The seven car was even up in there. Just, uh, there was so much different. There was so many different things going on. If I was Sheldon Creed, honestly, I've gotta give him props for not being any more pissed off than he was leads. Most of the race gets wrecked, what? Two times? Two different times. And he still ends up finishing All right. And he does his best and he tries to go. But I mean, when you have people running through you that's road course racing and nascar and if you're talking about the younger series, like the trucks and the Xfinity cars, they can't do it. And it pisses me off so much that they'll go into turn one first lap and you just know someone's gonna spin. They cannot do road courses like that in those younger series cuz they have no patience at all. Every lap is the last lap and it's so frustrating as a fan. And if I was Sheldon Creed, I'd be ready to just go over to anybody's pit box cuz you can name 'em. They probably ran through you at some point. That's Speaker 4 00:53:22 The Sheldon Creed. Dude had the car, dude could have led every single lap at the end of stage two. The 20 car just absolutely runs through him for no reason. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. And he's like, oh that motherfucker, I'm gonna destroy his car when I get up to him. He gets back to the 20 car and spun him right around. Perfect. And and Sheldon gets outta the car and he's like, yeah, I got, I got back. I I'm not pissed off because I got him back and it hurt him more than it hurt me. Yeah. Because it was at the end of the race and they were on a restart. So he got passed by God and everybody. Yeah. So he Speaker 2 00:53:53 Literally Speaker 4 00:53:54 Into the conversation with a Yeah, I know that I li I'm starting to really like Sheldon Creed. It Speaker 2 00:53:59 Took me, it's a, it's taken me a while and I won't say I like him yet. Yeah, yeah. I Speaker 4 00:54:03 Got a few reservations starting to, Speaker 2 00:54:04 I still have a few reservations, but he's getting back to me. Yeah. Speaker 4 00:54:07 He's a, he's a good race card. He, he, he, he's a great road course racer. I mean he he's proved it. Yeah. He really is. And just gets from ran through, you know. Yeah. He's screwed me on NASCAR bats, but that's fine. He can talk about that too. Speaker 2 00:54:21 Exactly. This is a big loss. This is, yeah. This is a big, this is a big week for our NASCAR bets. We're getting close to the end of this thing, but we'll definitely go into this a little bit. This is the first time that you have ever placed bets and not had a single one of them hit. Yep. Speaker 4 00:54:35 <laugh>. That is Speaker 2 00:54:36 Bad man. That's just, I hate it for you. Speaker 4 00:54:38 Even last week, first loss, but still had bets that hit multiple bets that hit, they just didn't pay out the, you know, what we put in. Yeah man, I made a bunch of bets brought Speaker 2 00:54:49 That little crown. Speaker 4 00:54:50 Should Speaker 2 00:54:51 Have brought that little crown that I got from our neighbor. Yeah. And just put it on my head right now just to let it sink in a little because that's two weeks in a row bad. Yeah, that was two weeks in a row. I'm beating you on vets. What's happening here, dog? You're you're falling apart Speaker 4 00:55:03 On us. What a short track I guess. Speaker 2 00:55:04 Yeah. It was as close to a short track as you can get without being a short track and True. Didn't quite, didn't quite happen. But yeah, I uh, you didn't have anything hitting that? It was absolutely shocking. It wasn't like the lineup was anything crazy of who was leading it was just the fact that it was, was what it was. Speaker 4 00:55:21 I just wanna all, like, I didn't have a batt hit all weekend. I didn't have a truck batt hit, I didn't have a bush bet hit and I didn't have a cup bet hit. Ah, that's, I mean, I didn't have nothing. That's Speaker 2 00:55:30 A long weekend man. Yeah, I uh, right in the middle of the race I saw that the eight and the 12 were still running up front. So I placed a $5 bed on the 12 and I placed a $1 bed on the eight because the, if the eight won, it would cover my bet for Blaney. But if Blaney won then heck yeah. I'd be sitting pretty that eight, that eight bet ended up hitting and I hit one other, uh, Denny Ham, top three Denny Ham one in the top three. I had that one placed as well. So I ended up hitting two and I, I think I still lost overall, but it was still That's so funny that you had nothing. I had only the two. It was obviously a tough week for Betton all around. I mean, anything we thought was gonna happen didn't happen. Speaker 4 00:56:12 At least with the road courts coming up Sonoma, uh, they're bringing old Sonoma back, which me and Kevin are both pumped up about. Oh yeah. From what I can tell the drivers are pumped up about that as well. And they're taking a little carousel thing. Speaker 2 00:56:23 Al Yeah, it was like, I can't remember exactly what turn it is. I think it's turn four. Uh, it all of our, all, all of my NASCAR life, it's been, you come up to turn four, you make a 90 degree turn to the right and you come up to turn five. I don't know that these turn numbers are correct. I can't tell you off the top of my head. I'm just, I don't, I just using numbers so it makes sense. Turn four, you make that 90 degree turn to the right, that next corner you're making another 90 degree turn to the right and going down the back stretch of the whole Speaker 4 00:56:49 Place OG Sonoma, Speaker 2 00:56:50 That was the way that we loved it and that's the way it was always. And then all of a sudden they took turn four and they made it a big u-turn down into this big giant carousel thing where they had a really long swooping downhill corner coming back up to that other turn that used to be 90 degrees and made it a complete 180. So they tried to add that in. They thought it made change up the way the race happened and it did, but not, not for the good, Speaker 4 00:57:15 Not for the better, Speaker 2 00:57:16 Not for the better. It definitely, Speaker 4 00:57:17 It took away two badass passing Speaker 2 00:57:18 Zones. Yeah, it really did. They, they, because they could come down into that big first 180 and go into the carousel and that was still somewhat of a breaking zone and somewhat of a passing zone. But then once you came outta that carousel, no one really had enough speed for the ability to outbreak anybody to matter because you had to come to basically five miles an hour to make this 180. So there was no, unless you dive, bombed the shit out of somebody, you were not making a pass. Yeah. So thank God they took that carousel out. They're putting the 90 degree corners back in. Speaker 4 00:57:50 I'm pumped. I it's gonna be old. It's, it's gonna be hot and slick and I, I personally think this is gonna be the best chance we have with this new car to see an old school-ish type NASCAR road course race. I hope because Sonoma is so hot. So wore out and having those two uh, corners back is gonna be awesome. It's gonna be great. And I'm really excited for that. And I, and I do, I think if we're talking money, Tyler Reddick, he's a, he just kicks ass at these road courses. Yeah. The two of his wins last year, one win already this year where he could pretty much lap the field. But technically it's like Tyler Reddick's gonna be a great shot. He's won most of his poles that he has had has been on road courses. So yeah, Speaker 2 00:58:36 That I think Truex, he does really well at Sonoma. He can see him coming out. Does Speaker 4 00:58:39 Really well at Speaker 2 00:58:40 Sonoma. Yeah. Denny has been a sneak, uh, kind of a surprise at the road courses lately. He can, he can definitely come out there. Speaker 4 00:58:45 Larson's got a Sonoma win does. Well Speaker 2 00:58:47 Let's, and let's not forget that Daniel Suarez got his first, uh, last year win last year in the 99. So same equipment, same team, doing really well. I could see him. Speaker 4 00:58:56 What's up with track house? The last couple, the last couple weeks. Weeks they have been off. They, which have been off. They, they started Chastain went from, he's led points all year long and over the last course of three weeks because they were, the points have been so tight. He is now eighth in points. Speaker 2 00:59:12 That's crazy. I don't know what's going on but they've Speaker 4 00:59:14 Literally the last three weeks, dude, that north, well North Wilkesboro doesn't count but it counts in this what I'm talking about. Ran in the back there, ran in the twenties at Coke 600 ran in the twenties. Really low twenties yesterday. Like super weird. Yeah. I don't know what's up with track House starting so strong and then now just not the last couple weeks been a little weird man. Whatever. The Ford's family took it away from the Chevys over Speaker 2 00:59:40 The Ford's found something. I think that's what's really shaking up your your the the plate a little bit. Yeah. I think they've gotten used to racing around who they were racing around. Now all of a sudden it's like, oh, we're racing around all these new guys that don't, that aren't our teammates. It's a little bit more competitive. The manufacturer isn't the same. Ross Chastain can't just boy his way through the field anymore like he used to. Cause it's a lot tougher Speaker 4 00:59:59 Field also me and you talked about that yesterday. I wonder if him putting the brakes on a little bit is not helping him. Maybe that's not his style of driving, you know, like it, Speaker 2 01:00:06 It could be, I could see him trying to kind of internalize some of that. But you don't fall that far because you stop driving as aggressive. I don't think he always is driving that aggressive. And he's not even up front at any point. It's not like people are passing him to get there. It's, he's not even there to begin with. So those shit wagon, something's happening. <laugh> speaking Speaker 3 01:00:25 Of shit wagons Speaker 2 01:00:26 Try. What's the, what's the shit wagon? Speaker 3 01:00:28 What's a good segue for that? I don't know. Speaker 2 01:00:29 Speaking of Speaker 4 01:00:31 <laugh>, speaking Speaker 2 01:00:31 Of shit wagons, <laugh> Speaker 4 01:00:33 A shit wagon is one of those uh, mobile porta toilets they have at all these country music festivals and on the, on the trailer, that's a mobile shit wagon. Oh I Speaker 2 01:00:41 Love that. The executive suites. Speaker 3 01:00:43 Honestly those are so blessed compared Speaker 4 01:00:44 To regular Speaker 2 01:00:45 Porta John. Speaker 4 01:00:45 Dude it's 2023 I we let's get rid of porta shitters. <laugh> like let's, we need the air conditioner. Actual shitters like age 20, 23. I don't know why. Hot boxes are still a thing. <laugh>, they're so gross. They're disgusting. There's nowhere to wash in your hands. I fucking hate 'em. Like let's have the air conditioned normal things man. Speaker 2 01:01:05 He loves music festivals. If you can tell it's always hot. It's always 9 million people on the stage. You've were really crunched for times then there's nothing but porta Speaker 4 01:01:13 Shutters. If I'm ever in charge of a tour, like the main guy, whether it be like the tour manager or the artist or whatever, if I am the main guy in charge, my top number one thing is gonna say I am not coming to your venue or musical festival if you have portish, only sh porta shitters we're not coming. Yeah. Speaker 3 01:01:30 So country concert in Fort Loie, Ohio in the camping area is regular porta shutters. But we now are in like the second stage and there's the nice little Speaker 4 01:01:39 Shooter. There we go. See Speaker 2 01:01:40 There it is. They're thing, Speaker 4 01:01:41 They're a thing. Whoever invented them, I love you. They should be at all these places and porta shutters should not be a thing anymore. They're Speaker 3 01:01:48 Premium. Speaker 4 01:01:48 They are, they're incredible. Speaker 3 01:01:49 Speaking of Porter Shitters, was there any good like trade and paint? Porter Shitters, Speaker 4 01:01:54 Trade paint, paint Porter. Shitters. Shitters. Holy crap. Holy shit. Wagon <laugh>. Speaker 2 01:02:00 That is so damn funny. <laugh> that is funny as hell. <laugh>. Speaker 4 01:02:04 I don't know, everybody's was pretty normal this week. Who, who had some hot paint jobs? I don't know. Speaker 2 01:02:10 I don't know if anybody really stood out to me this week cuz everybody was pretty much like, I, it was pretty much the normal paint jobs. I don't really think anybody had kind of like took Speaker 4 01:02:19 A chance out of, out of, if we're gonna talk about just normal paint jobs. I know we're partial to rfk, but dude, their cars hit every week. They, they do even like the bright orange, uh, Kings Hawaiian car with that silver number. Awesome. You have the dark blue fasten all car with the bright silver number. Awesome. So just for straight up paint jobs, like your normal weekly paint jobs, they don't miss. Yeah, Speaker 2 01:02:42 They really don't. And I, I completely agree with that. Uh, Speaker 4 01:02:45 And Jimmy, uh, Jimmy, uh, Kaz or somebody posted, they have these little things that used to be like the Penske scallops, which he totally brought this from Penske. They have these little, little lines that come up over the bottom like on the right Speaker 2 01:02:56 Beneath the number Speaker 4 01:02:57 Number Yeah. Down there. And it's like for the three different owners like Ra Fenway and Keslowski, you know, and like I think that's pretty cool. I I I I've I really like that with Penske. I know it's not really much of a thing anymore, but yeah, that's always awesome. I think that's super cool. Speaker 2 01:03:11 Yeah, I've always liked it actually I will say I do have one that I'll bring up. The 22 Logano scheme was pictures really damn cool. It had a bunch of pictures of fans and a bunch of pictures of different things on it. And so the whole yellow that would normally just be a bright ass yellow was now like, kind of had that brown stain on it. No, it Speaker 4 01:03:31 Was pictures. Speaker 2 01:03:31 I know it was pictures. Oh, okay. But I'm just saying from afar when you can't really look close enough to see the pictures, cuz I mean they're, they're small enough you could fit 'em in your hand. They're small pictures but all put onto this entire car. It was really neat to see cuz it was from afar. It looked almost like a yellow camo. It had that like super cool muddy yellow style to it. So I will say that's my trading paint. I almost forgot about it and I'm glad I remembered a big old shout out to new hair. Logano Speaker 4 01:03:58 Thick hair, Logano thick Speaker 2 01:04:00 Hair, Logano thick. He did say F Kyle Busch one time for me. Good old fuck Kyle Bus right in the damn Nashville Super Speedway we Speaker 4 01:04:07 Ran and I was Speaker 2 01:04:08 Walking Speaker 4 01:04:08 Out, we ran into Joey Logano walking out of Nashville Super Speedway Speaker 2 01:04:12 For truck race.

Him and his where I was Speaker 2 01:04:15 Losing my freaking mind watching Priest Speaker 4 01:04:17 Win and Kyle Bus wasn't even in the race and people are still screaming fuck Kyle Bush <laugh>.

We're going to Hiawassee aren't we this weekend? Is this uh, the Hiawassee weekend? Speaker 4 01:05:26 Uh, Cherokee, North Carolina, high Speaker 2 01:05:28 Cherokee, North Carolina. Hiwassee Beach. Myrtle Beach. Speaker 4 01:05:31 Myrtle Speaker 2 01:05:31 Beach. Speaker 4 01:05:32 We're opening for Miranda Everett Speaker 2 01:05:33 This weekend. Heck, why is that the date? Oh man, I don't even know what's going on. Speaker 4 01:05:37 Laney Wilson. Travis Trt. Miranda Lambert. That's Speaker 2 01:05:41 Pretty good. That's gonna be a heck of a lineup. It is. I'm excited. A hell of a lineup. That would be fun. Hell, I'm looking forward to that. We have one, uh, one casino show this week, so I know my job's gonna start off easy and get harder as we go. Speaker 4 01:05:52 As long as that fat motherfucker in orange shirt ain't in uh, Cherokee. We'll be in good shape. We'll end this with this good story. Yeah. Last Speaker 2 01:05:59 Year this was, this was a great story last Speaker 4 01:06:01 Year we're in at the play the same venue. It's a casino. Casino, Speaker 2 01:06:04 It's a casino, middle of nowhere. North Carolina Speaker 4 01:06:06 Cherokee, North Carolina Good Casino shows. Travis, I love them and the boys and us. It wasn't the best show ever, I'll put it that way. Speaker 2 01:06:14 No, it wasn't Speaker 4 01:06:15 Lightly. And then after the show, I won't say who it was, but there was a fella who kept knocking on Travis's bus door. Speaker 2 01:06:23 So I got a text message in the middle of the day during load end saying, Hey, someone's knocking at the door, can you come down and see who it is? And it's not a short walk to the buses and knocking on Travis's door is a big no-no, you don't do that. Only me or Scott are pretty much me, Scott, Jeff or Tarion are about the only four that ever go up and ring the doorbell to get his attention. So him having to knock on the door is a little outta character. And there's this road that goes behind the casino that pretty much the whole general public can go down at any point that passes right by the bus's. Terrible setup for backstage security. There's Speaker 4 01:06:58 Terrible security. The security guard was sitting like a hundred yards down. She was on her phone on sitting on some stairs and then she was like, how did you get your job <laugh>? And I was like, well not by sitting on my ass while I was at my other job. Yeah. That, that's Speaker 2 01:07:11 How exactly. So yeah, I get that phone, I get that text message in the middle of the day from Travis. So I take off running, get to the bus, no one there. Look around, can't see anybody, nobody's around. I text Travis back, Hey man, I don't see who it was. Uh, we'll keep an eye out. We have security back here. I don't know how they missed it. Whatever. Move on day's going fine, get to the show. Like Dawson said, not a good show. He just wasn't like it. His mix things weren't going well. I can't even remember what all went wrong during that show, but it was a long, but I know it wasn't hour and a half show. Speaker 4 01:07:44 It wasn't a great show. So that on top of this was like not good. No. So he does knock on the door again. Right, but then you Speaker 2 01:07:52 Spy. Yeah, no, yeah. It's, it's getting to that Speaker 4 01:07:54 Because he he cause it was Speaker 2 01:07:55 After the Speaker 4 01:07:55 Show he was wearing Yeah. What he was wearing. Speaker 2 01:07:57 So after the show is over, we're loading out. So the first thing that I would do is take Travis to the bus and come back and start tearing stuff down. And within five minutes of me being back at the stage, I swear to God I got this fat motherfucker in an orange shirt knocking on my door right right now. And I swear to God, if you don't get down here and get this fat motherfucker outta here, I'm gonna come out hot, whoop his ass. I was like, oh shit. So when I say I took off running earlier, I took off sprinting this time to the point where I get to his door, can't breathe anymore, and I'm looking and this guy is gone. He is not here again. So second time I've been called out here for the same guy knocking not there. And I just get so frustrated. Speaker 2 01:08:43 So finally I I I just stand there. I get a security guard to specifically sit by his bus and say, yes, smart. Stay here until load out is done. Do not leave. So I go back in there, we finished loading out the truck. We're all back at this point. We, I've already told everybody about what's going on. Security guard's like, Hey man, I'm only here till midnight. So after midnight you're gonna have to find somebody else. And so he leaves at midnight. I was tell him to go, I'll sit out here, sit on this. I I take the same chair he was sitting in. I sit in it for about another 30, 40 minutes. I was talking to Alison on the phone and as I'm talking on the phone, I see a truck drive by with a window rolled down and a big dude wearing an orange shirt just makes perfect eye contact with me and drives by at 20 miles an hour. Speaker 2 01:09:28 And I was like, babe, I gotta go. I think I found him, boom, hung up the phone by the time I hung up the phone and put it in my pocket and stood up. This dude's already at the front of Travis's bus jumping out, grabbing a gift basket from the back seat that was like sparkly, like a birthday party for a five-year-old girl gift basket. And it wasn't filled with moonshine, it was Phil. Well I didn't know it at the time and jugs the moonshine. I had no idea what it was at the time. So I'm like, what in the absolute shit's going on? The story that just keeps on giving. And he walks up to the door and he gets his hand up like he's gonna knock and he just about does it. And I point at him directly and I yell as loud as I can as I'm running at him. Speaker 2 01:10:06 If you knock on that door, I swear to God I'm gonna beat your ass. And it just gets his attention to where he stops. And I get up there and I'm like, dude, do you know what you've been doing to me all day? And he is like, nah man, I'm just trying to, I'm just trying to get, uh, the band isn't just the band isn't it? And he's like, I know somebody in the band. I'm trying to give him this big this gift. And I was like, dude, that is Travis's bus. And he just, and this dude, I thought he was gonna start crying but he just, his eyes got so big and he was so scared. He was like, oh my god, I can't, I cannot, you're kidding me. This is Travis's bus. I'm like, dude, yeah. Why do you think I'm sitting out here <laugh>, he's already been text, he's been texting me about you all day long. Speaker 2 01:10:48 He's so pissed off right now. <laugh> like we've g you. I am so glad you didn't knock on that bus door cuz you are probably gonna end up with something pointed at your face right now. Cuz he is so freaking mad. And he's just freaking out. He tells me who he is and he's being super nice and he apologizes about 748 times <laugh> about the same number of times. Chandler Smith and Jeb Burton hit each other under the press stretch. Ah yes. <laugh>. He, I finally tell him that he's at the wrong bus. I send him over to the right bus and he, yeah, it was what it was, it was three jars of the worst moose moonshot ever so bad. <laugh>. And I mean, he was so nice about it and he introduced himself and he is like, man, if you ever come down to this area, like you gotta come talk to me. Speaker 2 01:11:31 He was, it, it wasn't like he was a bad dude. Yeah, he just had bad shine. He just made a bad bad sense of direction. Direction mistake. Oh man. That's funny as hell. Yeah, it is. So to this day we just bring up the fat motherfucker in the orange shirt. That's all one of those jokes that just hang around and everybody know like the fat motherfucker in our shirt. Everybody knows who that is because that has just been said now for, I mean, I don't remember. That was probably in 2021. Yeah, I don't even remember when that was Exactly. Holy was hilarious. Shit man. That's, that's topnotch. So yeah, we're, we're talking back. We're hoping, hoping it goes way better this time in Cherokee, North Carolina. We're, we're heading back there. Hiya. Wasi is another, Hwai is awesome. They have these, this little old lady that home cooks all the meals.

They cook it. It's all homemade. Uh, Lindsay and her family, they're coming to the show in Ha Wasi this weekend. Talk about that. So it's gonna be a good weekend.
