Speaker 2 00:00:48 And Dawson's Kyle Larson shirt. Yes. <laugh> shirt's Got a big ass American flag on the back, so Well, God dang. Why's it gotta be on the back man? Why do they always put the cool stuff on the back of the shirt? I don't know. That 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 00:01:04 Honestly. Yeah, 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 Star shirt that he had on 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 miss very musical.
Speaker 3 00:01:24 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 like another one. That's what I'm saying. Hell yeah. Homestead back in in like oh fours. Oh six. Something like he's just man going to town. 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 by. 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. Shout was cracking up. I saw no hits. Yeah. Cause you posted it. No hits. Shout out. No hits his ankle's like bent over it. 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
Speaker 3 00:02:03 He was doing the stinky leg or
Speaker 2 00:02:04 Whatever. He must have been. Yeah. He was giving his iPod the two finger salute is what he was doing. The two finger bang is 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. Hot is hot. We went to uh, woo 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 that's a great time. Where were we at? We were in, uh, Lampe Lamp, Lampe, Missouri and Decay Lamp. Lampe. Lampe Lamp. We're not sure what the name of the town is.
Speaker 2 00:02:47 Hey, it's on. If 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. Dude's wearing a cutoff Truex shirt, which was cool. Brown ass orange. Uh, bass Pro sponsor was the sponsor on his shirt. Nas Pro Smokes. Uh, heck yeah. He cooked awesome. The best brisket of his life. Dang. I think that was a different guy, but yes. Ah, different fella. Well, I got 'em all confused. Yes. I had a very long day that day. 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.
Speaker 2 00:03:32 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 brisket's supposed to be like juice. You squeeze it, you want some juice to run outta that thing, you know? Yeah, you do. This shit's just dry as a popcorn fart. And I'm like, oh man. 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?
Speaker 2 00:04:13 And I'm like, oh, you know, I can barely fucking swallow it. <laugh> <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 was great. The 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 let down. Should have just turned around and been like, how's it feel to waste 13 hours of your life? Yeah. 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.
Speaker 2 00:04:49 But it was not good. So I ate it though. I ate it though, so hey, whatever. But you know what? They nailed the rest of it. They uh, the hamburgers were good at lunch. They were, man, I saw you said you saw a stage hand doing a doubledecker hamburger and I mean these things were already 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 they 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, dude after it. Yeah. He was ready to go. He was ready to put the lights back up, take 'em down and put 'em back up again.
Speaker 2 00:05:26 Shout out to those stagehands though. Cause they were some of the best we've had all year. So they, they did one of 'em called you pretty They did <laugh>. They did in the trailer. That was funny. That was funny. They were, they were, they were great folks. So they were, they were really nice people. I, I really enjoyed it. Yeah. And then Decatur, was it just hot on the blacktop? Yeah man, we were right next to, we were on lake on Decatur Lake. That's the lake. Found out my stepmom was born in Decatur, Illinois. So I forgot about that little too. That's 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.
Speaker 2 00:06:12 Oh yeah. It was weird how hot the ground was. It was brutal. I was glad we didn't have to stay there for more than one day. Yeah, it was, yeah. I think you got like 91 or 92 it says on that. Yeah, I made a joke that I was gonna strip down to my skims and jump into the lake that was right behind the stage. But by the time it got around to lake jumping in time, I was so tired and beat. I just went in the bus <laugh>. I just needed air conditioning. Get back at it. Cause we haven't had many outdoor shows yet. The dude, one of those dudes told me, he was like, that lake is just sewer dump. He's like, I wouldn't get anything if you paid me to. So man, everybody's I glad you didn't hop in there. People say that about everybody of water. I don't know, it's, everybody of water's had had some kind of sewage put into it whether the city did it or whether some individual did it. <laugh>. That is true. It's just water man. It's just water. I don't give a dang. Just
Speaker 3 00:06:57 Put it through Bri, it'll be fine. Yeah,
Speaker 2 00:06:59 Yeah. Y'all went to, uh, y'all went to Cotton Joe's and Oh yeah. A bunch of different stuff. Like Bri, y'all had a big long week. It
Speaker 3 00:07:06 Was. So Matt was on the road with Tre weekend and Odd was not, but I went out Friday to see Cory Kent and Dylan Marlowe here in town. That
Speaker 2 00:07:14 Is hilarious. Ken. Cause Cory open for us in Lamper, Missouri.
Speaker 3 00:07:17 I love Cory. 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. That's
Speaker 2 00:07:25 Usually a good time to stop. Right.
Speaker 3 00:07:27 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.
Speaker 2 00:07:35 Oh
Speaker 3 00:07:35 No. Yeah. You know, you'll have that sometimes on those big jobs. So
Speaker 2 00:07:38 Your debit card is still out past three in the morning. Yeah,
Speaker 3 00:07:41 My debit card is
Speaker 2 00:07:41 Somewhere. It's in Cotton nine Joe's. Yeah.
Speaker 3 00:07:43 Well no, this was before we got the Cotton nine Joe's.
Speaker 2 00:07:46 Oh man. Then
Speaker 3 00:07:47 That was Friday night when I went to the Brooklyn Bowl and
Speaker 2 00:07:49 Oh, here in town. You lost your debit card? Oh
Speaker 3 00:07:51 Yeah. Oh shit. And then we got to, we drove out to Cotton nine Joe's and uh, we had a very blessed time and um, I learned what a safety meeting is with the trailers camp, which is good.
Speaker 2 00:08:01 Yes. Now. Yes sir. Oh yeah. Safety meeting man. You gotta have 'em. If you ever go to the House of Blues in Myrtle Beach, hit it up on the balcony safety meeting. Looking at the alligators in the farm across the street.
Speaker 3 00:08:09 Premium.
Speaker 2 00:08:11 Are you talking about an actual safety meeting or a, a safe fake safety meeting? Safety? No, all safety meetings are real dossy. Okay. Yeah. All safety meetings are real now. See I thought you were talking about, you know, the sheriff with his cowboy hat on. Oh, that's a security meeting. Those are very different. Different security meetings. Take it serious safety meetings. Find out who's asking you to Gotcha. Find out who's hosting, hosting the safety meeting first. I gotcha. Before you walk in with your hard hat. Yeah. Then you're figuring it out. <laugh>. Okay. Okay. Man. Dosage is we a little, we little p back here. I'm just a tiny squirrel boy. I'm a squirrel boy. A tour. But I, I have seen and been a part of both, so I was just making sure which one we were talking. Yeah, I think we can already call this episode, episode seven, the Safety Meeting. <laugh>. I love it. But man, we, that is hilarious though. Yeah. That's awesome. Yeah,
Speaker 3 00:08:54 We had a good time. And then, uh, lots of fun to be had at the Cotton Nut Joe's. It, it feels like you're in 1999. It's insane. <laugh>.
Speaker 2 00:09:03 I've never, I've never been so I don't even know anything about it. What the inside looks like or nothing like. Never have I either the
Speaker 3 00:09:07 Things that happened there and like the things set on stage, not by Trey and camp by like the owners of the establishment and such. I was just like, I haven't seen this in 25 years. Wow. You know, <laugh>,
Speaker 2 00:09:19 This is in Kn Knoxville, right? Yeah, Knoxville. Okay. It was crazy. Why to, could you not post this on the internet?
Speaker 3 00:09:25 <laugh>
Speaker 2 00:09:26 1999, don't have your phone,
Speaker 3 00:09:29 But man, it was a cool venue. That spot is so big. It can probably
Speaker 2 00:09:32 Hold. Yeah, it's a big place.
Speaker 3 00:09:33 1500, 2000 people. I don't know a lot. It's large.
Speaker 2 00:09:37 I think play
Speaker 3 00:09:37 There. It was well taken care of too. Like the floors, you know, like sometimes with a big spot like that or like an old honky tonk, the floors are like kind of gross. Oh yeah, no, it was cleaned up.
Speaker 2 00:09:45 Oh. And you're sticky. You're go.
Speaker 3 00:09:46 Yeah. It's, it wasn't like that that at at all.
Speaker 2 00:09:47 Yeah. Rich, rich Street in Ohio. I had that problem. It
Speaker 3 00:09:50 Was real well taken care of. Um, and Trey killed it in
Speaker 2 00:09:53 Was was that your first time there?
Speaker 3 00:09:55 Yeah, that was my first time at that spot. Hell
Speaker 2 00:09:56 Yeah. That's awesome.
Speaker 3 00:09:57 It was cool. And uh, but they gave us like post-show wings
Speaker 2 00:10:02 After show food baby. I
Speaker 3 00:10:03 Had a few too many of those and my body is still paying for it.
Speaker 2 00:10:06 Wow. Dang. That'll, that'll happen to
Speaker 3 00:10:09 Those safety meetings.
Speaker 2 00:10:10 You know, safety meetings,
Speaker 3 00:10:11 They really make you
Speaker 2 00:10:11 Hungry. Safety meetings and chicken wings, man. It'll really get you Well match made in heaven. What did we have for after show food this week? Ca Caleb got some Casey's pizza, uh, the last night. I'm a, I'm a, I like Casey's pizza. Yeah, that's good. Don't get me wrong. I love Casey's Pizza. 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>. That is true. That is true. But it's good. And then what was after show food the first night? Remember Phillies and like some, they were like very good Hogie sandwiches that were chopped up. Like there was one that was like a burger with Alfredo sauce and bacon. Oh and bacon chopped up. Put inside a Hoge bun and good.
Speaker 2 00:10:53 And then some Billies that were kind of similar Dude, they were incredible. They were great. Yeah. I was think truck something right next to the bus. Something was really good this weekend. Yeah. Said Caleb. Caleb hooks us up pretty good on after show food. I mean I try to, I try to, it's like the one way you can make people happy. So come up with after show food and make sure there's always alcohol and tater chips on the bus. Yeah. 100% of the time. When I first started with Travis I was like, I just made the joke. I was like, this is the alcohol and tater chip tour. Like that is the most, two important things on the road is alcohol and tater chips. Yep. Like they gotta be there. You have the uh, the drawers right beneath the seats in the front lounge. Yeah.
Speaker 2 00:11:28 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. Tater chips and tater 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 just, cause like people just walk by, boom, grab a bag of tater chips and that's just like what? That's just what you do. I don't know. That's the sustenance that's touring 1 0 1. Like Absolutely. I didn't, I didn't know that until I got out with Travis and you know, Caleb and everybody. I'm like, oh okay. Yeah. I'm learning fast alcohol and tater chip. Yeah. People ask me all the time like, man, 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.
Speaker 2 00:12:05 <laugh>. That is 90% of my job. 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 on that. It's cool though. Yeah. We enjoy it. It gets Have we ever told the crystal story on here? Uh, no we haven't. Can I tell the crystal story? Come on man. The one time I take a chance, the one time I take a chance on doing something cheap. The best part of this, we are in somewhere and it's lunchtime when this happens. And Caleb, it was just, it was Pennsylvania. I just don't know 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 <laugh>. I was like, just you'll love him telling me no, just made me wanna do it more.
Speaker 2 00:12:45 I love crystals. I don't love crystals on a 10 hour bus ride to the next town over. No, when you can't poop in the bus. Exactly. So I'm, I tell Caleb's like, dude don't get crystals. 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 still bring up no crystals for after show food. 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 was just like, feels like, oh man.
Speaker 2 00:13:27 It's like, I guess I really did like fuck up this. 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, you could have given everyone a golden egg and, and they're on their bunk pillow every morning for your entire career. You did that once and all of a sudden nobody's ever gonna let you forget about it. You just order Crystal at one time and you are, you are a piece of shit for doing this <laugh>. It is so funny. I love how it gets brought up. Ugh. 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 crystal's for after show food 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.
Speaker 2 00:14:09 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's like the one time I, I give Caleb props, it's great. Just that one time and it still gets brought up. It's so funny. That's funny. I'll never live it down. <laugh>. The Crystal King. Crystal Caleb. Yeah. You just don't, the the one thing y'all may get crystals when we're on full band 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 John's, I'll get Mel Mushroom and like upgrade it. One step. One step, stepping it up. It's awesome man. Acoustic shows phenomenal. I know it put you out of a job but man, sometimes I just wish we were doing after acoustic shows again. Sometimes just still I can, I just don't easy. No, it still make my, that way you payment can still live. Yeah. <laugh>. I can make my truck payment and still buy beer. There you go. It gets you paid. So I need Travis to play full band shows. That's true. Aint 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>.
Speaker 2 00:15:08 But yeah, all in all great weekend. Everybody had great shows for sure. Uh, I wanted to bring this up. You you saying Corey Kent? Yeah. Super cool dude. Looks just like William Byron.
Speaker 3 00:15:18 Yeah,
Speaker 2 00:15:19 Yeah. Damn. Caleb about spit his beer out. <laugh> looks just like William didn't William by. I didn't even think about that at all. That's funny as hell Now. Just recently Byron's kind of getting, growing a little little. His facial hair is like blondish colored growing a little stubble, you know? Yeah. Maybe a
Speaker 3 00:15:32 Little beardie boy, little
Speaker 2 00:15:32 Tiny girl. But Cory 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 Cory in my whole life. Ever. Mm-hmm. 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. Like Cory Kent and William Byron. This is great. I can't believe you never said anything while we were out there. I never even thought 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 goodness dude looks just like him. They could be brothers. That's so funny. But anyway. But didn't even think about that. Yeah. Wow. Got the crowd fucking going. So that's really all it matters. Yeah, 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. Man, their
Speaker 3 00:16:19 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 00:16:28 Together. Yeah, they do. Heck yeah. They come out and uh, we, I didn't obviously know how their crew or band, whoever, I didn't know who 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 as 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 some times, 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 any, is this pedal board and stuff gonna be in your way? And he goes, whatever makes your life easier, makes me happy. And I was like, fuck it, this pedal boy's gonna stay right here, <laugh>.
Speaker 2 00:17:07 It ain't moving. I was, it ain't moving. He was like, that's fine with me. And it ended up being his bass player. So Heather drummer was wearing the, one of the coolest Dale Earnhardt shirts I've ever seen. It had the two on the top. It had like, one of the oldest school had oldest kinda rayor three here and then the, uh, the Intimidator three, the black one. Man, it was, it was cool. He 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, 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 00:17:39 That's so great. That's
Speaker 2 00:17:40 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. And then our uh, guitar tech bud, he was like, yeah, you put a microphone on that. It's just gonna sound like shit louder. <laugh>. I died laughing when Bud said that. I thought that was so damn funny. He has some, he has some good one-liners sound, sound like shit, but louder man. But yeah, we finally got home yesterday, uh, 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.
Speaker 2 00:18:15 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. Maxwell and Cynthia came over. Yeah, Maxwell and Cynthia came over and that was a lot of fun. Sat outside. Hell yeah. Sat outside. Watched the race, started to watch the race out there. The race gets under a rain delay. So we watch the IndyCar 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.

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 St. Louis. Yeah. So apparently it was pretty lit up. They, they could tell where the track was and everything. So Really? Yeah, that's, I didn't even hear about that. 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. I wish we did. We were right outside of Joplin, Missouri, which is the most famously known for Jamie McMurray's hometown. There you go.
Speaker 2 00:20:51 That's where Lampe or Lampe, wherever, whatever the hell it's called. That's, that's where it be. 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 Jamie McMurray. Best hair in nascar. Hell yeah. Uh, 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 me of the map. Me too. It was 200 some miles, it miles and something 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. 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 started at three and ended at nine. Pretty much. That's a 600 level right there. Yeah. Dang. 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, 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 was a lot of pissed off people between trucks bush and Cup this week.
Speaker 2 00:22:05 Yeah, I didn't really see much about the trucks, so I don't know much about that, 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 Zane Smith and Zane Smith's like, damn, this is what I get for staying in the truck series <laugh>. So yeah. Had that, which they weren't like super pissed. And then I'm definitely gonna dive off into the Bush Reds. Yeah, Bush for sure later for sure. Yeah. But yeah, there was a lot worth talking about there for a, for a road course. It actually ended up being pretty entertaining. Yeah, it was, it was dope. And then yesterday there was some hurt feelings as well, which was, you know, always fun.
Speaker 2 00:22:46 Heck yeah. It was a lot of fun watching it. I really enjoyed the heck outta it. Axon took a super hard hit on the, uh, driver's side door. There was a lot of broken brake rotors yesterday. Yeah, I was weird. 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 again and that use a ton of brakes so it yeah, really lights 'em up. I guess just cycling that heat just caused those brake rotors to fail and the first one to go was Carson Hovar and everybody was giving him all sorts of props and I mean he deserved it. He was, I mean he was running like top 15 when it happened.
Speaker 2 00:23:21 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 at the seven OG Ride Hooker, the OG Ride Hooker <laugh>. I, I just, it was very, it was surprising like, uh, he, he outran Corey Lajoie in the nine all day, which the, we, the whole deal, everybody already knows now. Corey Lejo was in the nine cuz Chase was suspended, put Hovar in the seven Hovar 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 would've bet on that.
Speaker 2 00:24:02 But whose fault was it? That's what I wanna know. Uh, was it really a Hendrick Motorsports problem? Was it they ran like dog dooo all day. So I don't know. I don't know if I could say that though because Larson gets up there and he's managing it. I know Larson's a completely different animal with Cliff Daniels also completely different animal. But, but, but the ran terrible all day. The 24 ended up in the top 10 and ran there most of the day, but still finish like 21st or the 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 Cory Kent, William Byron Jr. Boom, straight to the back and ran like 20 something.
Speaker 2 00:24:42 I was like, what? It was so funny because I didn't even remember I said it, I said it when William Byron was leading, leading, leading the race. He was and doing very well. Probably like, what, 30 something LA I can't, I can't tell you what the number was, but he was up there for a long period of time and it fracked me up because he was doing so well and Caleb just said this 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 ear and that mother's gonna just fall right back to the back. And that's what happened. And boom, that's exactly what happened. And it was like, okay, so like something was up with Hendrick.
Speaker 2 00:25:16 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 finishing 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 was only up there for pure talent in the str in the, if you just straight heads up him. I mean he was running like dog shit too. He, William Byron ended up in the top 10. I'm looking at it now. He ended up eighth so that's surprising. But two, two Hendrick Motorsports cars 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, Bowman, Alex Bowman ended up, I don't know, he didn't run good either.
Speaker 2 00:25:59 I don't feel like, uh, yeah he didn't do well as much but it's, can't even find him on the, 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 Cory 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. I mean, I had high expectations too, but I honestly have a theory that Hendrick doesn't pay attention to tracks like this at a 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.
Speaker 2 00:26:43 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. I would counter that with just something I heard Jamie McMurray and Larry Mac say like Phoenix and Gateway are so similar that back in the day to test your Phoenix car, you took it to Gateway. Like Jamie, me 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.
Speaker 2 00:27:28 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. 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 get 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. 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.
Speaker 2 00:28:14 That could be totally, that's totally possible. I can see that being, 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. It's like a car that like NASCAR will, 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 eye catching. Let's take that to the r and d center. Fucking Chase Briscoe man, he's getting, he's getting out ran by JJ Yaley and BJ McLeod two weeks of the last week, last week before we did the podcast. And, 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 2 00:29:05 Hits him with the biggest fine in NASCAR history for putting an 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>. Yeah. Don't cheat and run 30th. For real. I, 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, they 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.
Speaker 2 00:29:49 Can't win the championship for committing an L three penalty. I I So they committed NAED an L three penalty and ran 30th. I think NASCAR knew there was no chance they were making the playoffs anyway. I just can't believe that. 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 I don't Don think so. I don't think so. This mug ran 34th. He is behind Keslowski who was running a V6 Visa v6, literally ran a V6 and finished on the lead lap and he finished behind him. He finished behind Greg Alding. He finished behind four people that had 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 a complete idiot.
Speaker 2 00:30:31 Okay. We're shitting on Brisco for no reason. Sorry, I mean for this week I don't think it's a Briscoe problem. I think it's an SHR problem. Yes, for sure. I don't think Briscoe has anything going on. I actually really like Briscoe. I as a person do I like, 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 RO in the Xfinity series. I'd just like to remind everybody of that about he, he's one Cup Xs. I mean he's a, he's a race winning NASCAR driver. 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. He had four top fives in a row. His team is crumbling around him.
Speaker 2 00:31:06 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. 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 is a right off here for them. Maybe next year. Yeah, maybe next year. Cory Smith style maybe next year. Yeah. <laugh>. 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 a L three penalty and run get out ran by Rick Ware and BJ McLeod cars.
Speaker 2 00:31:49 I 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 Haas 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 happened. Nothing. But then you have Harvey run top five all day yesterday. Yeah I think that's cuz he is Kevin Harvick and Rodney Childers like two of the goats in their respective, you know, working things like that. That is why.
Speaker 2 00:32:35 But dude, when he leaves the hrs gonna bankrupt. Like I don't know they're gonna run. I agree. They're gonna run 25th. 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 not worth worth it. The means are coming but like Chase Briscoe looks like he's driving a tractor in a field of race cars. He does. It's a tough scene out there. Bad. It is bad. That's enough about that. But I just wanted to bring that up. So no I no I completely 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 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 love it.
Speaker 2 00:33:14 It's a third win with Kyle Busch 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, 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 two years. Three wins before Reddick got hit. Like three wins before Reddick. Reddick 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. And that's not the first half. And that's not a knock on Tyler Reddick cause he was running front all year long last year.
Speaker 2 00:34:00 He could've, he could have won more, had six or seven. He had some mechanical issues and tire failures that really messed him up outta some wins. Yeah. But dude Randall Burnett dude is building some race cars. How 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 Dylan. All you gotta do I think is listen to the Slugger lab, uh, podcast with Dale Jr. And that just tells you everything you need to know about rcr. You'll have to explain cuz I didn't listen to it when, when Slugger's talking about he was, he's crew chief and Ty Dillon and Ty Dillon was 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.
Speaker 2 00:34:42 Somebody kicks him on the feet and they's 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 Dillon 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. And Tyler Reddick went out there and got those three wins last year. And Tyler Reddick three wins last year. 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 this year.
Speaker 2 00:35:38 Let's pray. Let's praise the Bush series too. Austin Hill has three wins and is leading the Bush series point. It's like, yep. RCR as a whole is cooking with peanut oil in, in a great way. Cooking with peanut oil but you're cooking with vegetable oil. I am as of yesterday, as of yesterday, I had to bring it up. We went to go buy oil for his Blackstone. He looked at the peanut oil and it's like, ah, we sell it in five gallon quantities, nothing less. It's about a hundred dollars. Like, well that's, I can't do that too much. He's like, we're good. I'll take some all over. Yeah. Took some vegetable oil, give me some of that pure canola. But man, yeah. So wow. That just cracks me up. I Joe Gibb saying man can't find Kyle Bush any sponsorships they got the whole, whole season. All these sponsors, like all these people are sup are wanting to work with Kyle Bush.
Speaker 2 00:36:19 Can't do this, can't do that. Kyle Bush, there's 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's 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. The original Rowdy the original. Come on now. He uh, Carl Edwards is another ADE's junior 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 Bush gets announced and everybody goes crazy and Carl looks over at Dale. He's like, wh when what, what That's, when did that, when did that start happening?
Speaker 2 00:37:04 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. People, people are on the Kyle Busch train this year. They are. It's cuz he is the adult candy man now with the weed sponsorship. Damn. That's why. Damn you're just candy ass. That's me candy ass. And he's the candy man. Yeah. The slight difference. Big difference in meaning. But yeah, he's been uh, he's been absolutely killing it this year. I, I'm loving watching what he's doing and he dominated yesterday. Yeah. He's proven that he is just as good of a race car driver as he ever has been. Definitely not washed up. 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.
Speaker 2 00:37:47 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 Joe Gibbs camp. And that doesn't mean that Joe Gibbs is doing anything wrong. It just means it wasn't working anymore. It's almost like he 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, tri-County, 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 eight car's scary. Eight car is a contender for the championship.
Speaker 2 00:38:28 Yeah, definitely a contender. 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 up there and join him. 12 did good yesterday too. He 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 the only reason the five was up there was cuz Cliff Daniel was making some awesome calls and adjustments. Yeah, it definitely was true. And they managed to make it to the end of the race on that two tire. On that two tire call ended up finishing fourth right? I think so, yeah.
Speaker 2 00:39:01 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> <laugh>. But it is what it is though. It was, it was a lot of fun. It was just really funny to watch that bar they have at the top of the uh, race tracking where the green flags, the old flags and red flags are. I enjoyed that 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. They had a, they had a few, they had a red flag.
Speaker 2 00:39:36 The the so many like four or five brake riders like we said broke and those guys at the outside wall and turned one so much they had to like weld it back down and shit. Like repair 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 when they're going in there with no brake you're coming in 160 boom. Yeah back in there. How about the dude, dude in the crowd gets hit in the chest with a piece of Noah Jackson's brake rotor. His chest is all bruised up and bloody. He takes his shirt off, takes a picture. Dude's eyes look like he's drank about 30 beers in the last four hours. Got his titties out. Chest is all messed up and Noah Gregston's like damn dude hate something off my car hit you.
Speaker 2 00:40:17 Like we're gonna fix you up. Right. Like send me your info. So he'll probably have v i p passes the next time they come around probably. So I wonder if he's gonna give him a haircut too and just give him that same old bull cut <laugh> this free trip to Sports Clips. Here you go. Only one, only one cuddle out though. Sorry about your bad luck <laugh>. I just thought that was super cool though with Noah like doing that. That's you know. Ah, Noah's, Noah's a fan ambassador. Ambassador man guy. He is a fan ambassador. Yeah I would love to have him call on this show. I would, I'd love for him to drive a car. That was worth a fuck. Yeah. Yeah. Legacy Motorsports man. I think going to Toyota next next year will be incredible for them. Well they want, you know, Toyota's gonna wanna see Richard Petty and Jimmy Johnson's team do well.
Speaker 2 00:40:54 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 him, but super weird. They weren't really doing a whole lot for him to begin with. It's crazy now all of a sudden it's the only Chevy team on track. But it's crazy. They won races last year, not races. They won the Southern 500 so, but he 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. 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 that everybody else has.
Speaker 2 00:41:31 They're always having a bootleg on somebody, 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, they already got three on his own. They're just gonna have a lot more of a chance to win those big eyeopening style of races. People are already coming around to Toyotas just in the general public. I mean, who doesn't wanna buy, have a Toyota. Matt Burrell out there has got his parked 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 see it, so I'm excited to see it too.
Speaker 2 00:42:13 T r d has put a lot of money into 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 'em to go. So they ended up being Chevrolet drivers. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. So, yeah, 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, hack over right here early get, I can't wait. Good. I can't wait for this. So yeah, go, go to town, man. Go to town. So Jeb Burton, ward's son, everybody knows him. You know, whatever he, I post, I'm not on the Jeb Burton train.
Speaker 2 00:43:02 I've never been on the Jeb Burton train because his train is all whistle, no train, <laugh> all whistle, no steam <laugh>. It 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? Like, 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 kids? You know? We'll shit on him that first. Okay. Can't cook, can't drive. He's only got one of the three on Dawson's shirt going for him right now. He, he is, he always pulls that poor, poor pitiful 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 piddle for me, Terry Clark song. It's like, dude, so back, this was not last year, this was a couple years ago.
Speaker 2 00:44:03 He used to drive for Dale Junior for a split second, like one season. And him and Noah Grason this. No. 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 Grason who won like 10 Bush races last year and his won, I mean, dude finished, I mean top 10 every week he, Doug Jackson getting a little altercation and you can hear him say, I outran you in the same equipment every week. 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.
Speaker 2 00:44:53 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, 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 piddle 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.
Speaker 2 00:45:37 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 Chandler's already had a bad race. So to be picking on Chandler at this point, yeah, he got wrecked in the first fricking corner. He's pissed and came back and I think he had hit everything except for one of one wall and the pace car by the point that this comes around. And he made sure he hit Jeb 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 'em 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.
Speaker 2 00:46:17 Yah. All this stuff. So after the race is over, all we see is Jeb Burton in a headlock by somebody that works for Cig and then the colleague guy also in a headlock by somebody that I think works with Jeb Burton. So it's like this whole headlock frame. Weird. You got one guy here and one guy that's getting choked out, choking somebody else out. It was the funniest thing to see. It 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 rough around Drunk Road course, man, I don't know. Just, 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.
Speaker 2 00:47:01 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, it he, no, I didn't even know about this video yet. 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 was faithful with Turkey Sketty at that point, so I just couldn't even imagine.
Speaker 2 00:47:42 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 nose. All this, all the things, all 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 fisted 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 a Jeb Post 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, the end of the video is Chandlers going videos his whole face. There's not a scratch, a bruise or nothing on it.
Speaker 2 00:48:25 And then he is just like <laugh> and like there's like John Cena in the video, like the video's like, hmm. It just, it's phenomenal. Please go look at it. That's hilarious. I'm gonna have to look that up. <laugh>. It was absolutely incredible. And to end that all to say Jeb Burton is my hack of the week and Jeb Burton is all whistle no train man. He lets his fist to the talking. It's just, they're not very loud <laugh> dude. 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 is, 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 tool bag shit wagon.
Speaker 2 00:49:09 Yeah. It was even funnier that him and Chris Rice are over there, John at each other. And he used to drive for colic back in the day and got booted out of his ride. And I don't think colleagues, somebody, I don't think Chris Rice is somebody you wanna fuck with. Hell, I know if you've ever seen Matt Cig, but he looks pretty swollen. Someone said he was like a D one quarterback back in the day, so I don't think you wanna fuck with him either. I wouldn't want to man. I would not want to. It, it would be, it would be a bad idea. Dude's out there trophy hunting, he doesn't care who gets in his way, he wants it selling LeafGuard filters and trophy hunting race cars. Man, it's awesome. He's just, the best part of the video is Matt Coley standing on the wall just like this here <laugh>.
Speaker 2 00:49:48 So the crossed fight, the whole fight is going down, the whole fight is going down. This dude is stone cold, no smile, just arms crossed. Like y'all could kick every one of y'all's asses And just pretty much as that's what it looked like, I'm just not gonna, but you're lucky for it. I'm just like, I don't know, I just feel like you just see who 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 your shitty fucking attitude. <laugh>. Yeah, that'll do it. So that'll do it. Now he's probably gonna want to straight arm punch me in the face, which is fine, but it probably won't hurt. Yeah, you'll be all right. Uh, Taylor Smith's also from Georgia so shout out to that as well. Yeah, and they've been, they've had a really good beginning of the season, but they've been struggling a little bit as of late.
Speaker 2 00:50:29 So for him to get wrecked out in the first corner, I could see why he was pissed off. But then again, as, 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 they're teammates but still he moves over and lets the guy go, you just gotta do that.
Speaker 2 00:51:08 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 outta the way themselves. So you gotta make a choice here. At some point you do, you're 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. And let's understands, let's just throw this out here. Jeff Burton has won two races in his whole NASCAR career. One was a Rain short and Talladega race and the other one was Talladega. Cuz every fucking body else reckon he's only got 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.
Speaker 2 00:51:45 Yep. And he is and he runs top five consistently. 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 four outta of five. Yeah, they're not Dale Junior, you know, so like, well Dale Junior this year isn't even Dale Jr. But that is true. They just got their first win last week. But man, heck of the week. Jeb Burton, dude, he can sign the trophy. 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 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 Superman style. Just holding it out there.
Speaker 2 00:52:21 Stupid. Yeah, he was really gonna, he was 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 there was so much different. There was so many different things going on. If I was she 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 three that's road course racing in 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 spend, they cannot do road courses like that in those younger series cuz they have no patience at all.
Speaker 2 00:53:08 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 three at some point. That's Sheldon Creed. Dude had the best car Duke could have let 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 is like, oh that motherfucker, I'm going to 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.
Speaker 2 00:53:50 So he got passed by God and everybody. Yeah. So literally end of the conversation with a Yeah, I know that. I li I'm starting to really like Sheldon Creed. It took me, it's it's taken me a while and I won't say I like him yet. Yeah, yeah. I still got a few reservations. I'm starting to, I still have a few reservations, but he's getting back to me. Yeah, he's uh, he's a good race car. He, he, he's a great road course racer. I mean he's proved it. He really is. And just gets ran through, you know. Yeah. He's screwed me on NASCAR bets, but that's fine. Yeah, we can talk about that too. This is a, 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.
Speaker 2 00:54:30 This is the first time that you have ever placed bets and not had a single one of them hit. Yep. <laugh> that bad. That is, man, that's just, I hate it for you. 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 and I, I should have brought that little crown one should have brought that little crown that I got from our neighbor and just put it on my head right now. Just let it sink in a little because that's two weeks in a row. Sad. Yeah, that was weeks in a rough, two weeks in a row. I'm beating you on vets. What's happening here dog? You're falling apart on us. What a short track I guess. 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.
Speaker 2 00:55:11 But yeah, I uh, you didn't have anything hitting That is 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. I just wanna, like I didn't have a bet hit all weekend. I didn't have a truck bet hit, I didn't have a bush bet hit and I didn't have a cut bet hit. Ah, that's, I mean I didn't have nothing. That's 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 be on the 12 and I placed a $1 bed on the eight because the eight, 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 be ended up hitting and I hit one other, uh, Denny Ham top three.
Speaker 2 00:55:55 It was 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. At least with the road course coming up Sonoma, uh, they're bringing old Sonoma back, which me and Kevin were 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 out. 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 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.
Speaker 2 00:56:37 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 place. The OG sonoma. Right. 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 may change up the way the race happened and it did.
Speaker 2 00:57:14 But not, not for the good, not for the better, not for the better. It definitely, it took away two badass passing 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 bomb 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. 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.
Speaker 2 00:58:05 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. 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, that I think Truex, he does really well at Sonoma. I can see him coming out. Does really well at 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. Larson's got a Sonoma win does.
Speaker 2 00:58:47 Well 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 I could see him. What's all the track house the last couple weeks? Couple weeks They have been off is they have been off. They they started Chastain went from, he's led the 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. That's crazy. I don't know what's going on but they've literally the last three weeks, dude, 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, but whatever the Fords family they took away from the Chevys over there.
Speaker 2 00:59:41 Ford the Fords found something. I think that's what's really shaken up. Your your the the plate a little bit. Yeah. I think they've gotten used to racing around who they were racing around and 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 bully his way through the field anymore like he used to. Cause it's a lot tougher field. 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 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 upfront 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 agree. Those shit wagon agree. Something's happening. <laugh> speaking
Speaker 3 01:00:26 Shit. Wagons
Speaker 2 01:00:27 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 01:00:30 Speaking of, speaking of shit, wagons, <laugh> shit Wagon is one of those, uh, mobile porta toilets they have at all these country music festivals on the trailer. That's a mobile shit wagon. Oh I love that. The executive suites. Honestly
Speaker 3 01:00:44 Those are so blessed compared to
Speaker 2 01:00:45 Regular porta John. Dude it's, it's 2023 i we let's get rid of porta shitters. Like let's, we need the air conditioner actual shitters like it's 2023. I don't know why. Hot boxes are still a thing. They're so gross. They're disgusting. There's nowhere to wash your hands. I fucking hate 'em. Like let's have the air conditioned normal things man. He loves music festivals if you can tell it's always hot. It, it's always 1 million people on the stage. You've really crunched for times and there's nothing but portish shitters. 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'm not coming to your venue or musical festival If you have portish, only Portis shitters we're not coming. Yeah.
Speaker 3 01:01:31 So country concert in Fort Lau Ohio and the camping area is regular porta shitters, but we now are in like the second stage and there's the nice slip.
Speaker 2 01:01:40 There we go. See there it is. They're a thing. Whoever invented them, I love you. They should be at all these places and porta shitters should not be a thing anymore.
Speaker 3 01:01:48 They're premium.
Speaker 2 01:01:49 They are, they're incredible.
Speaker 3 01:01:50 Speaking of Porter Shitters, was there any good like trading paint porter shitters
Speaker 2 01:01:54 Trading paint, Porter shitters. Holy crap. Holy shit. Wagon <laugh>. That is so damn funny. That is funny as hell. I don't know, everybody's was pretty normal this week. Who, who had some hot paint jobs? I don't know. 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 kind of like took a chance out of, out of, if we're gonna talk about just normal paint jobs. I know we're partial to R fk, but dude, their cars hit every week. They do even like the bright orange, uh, kings of wine car with that silver number. Awesome. They have the dark blue Fastenal car with the bright silver number. Awesome. So just for straight up paint jobs, like your normal weekly paint jobs, they don't miss.
Speaker 2 01:02:42 Yeah, they really don't. And I, I completely agree with that. Uh, and Jimmy, uh, Jimmy, uh, Kez or somebody posted, they have these little things that used to be like the Penske scallops, which he totally brought this from Penske, but they have these little, little lines that come up over the bottom like on the right beneath the number number Yeah. Down there. And it's like for the three different owners like Ros Fenway and Kowski, you know, and like I think that's pretty cool. I I I I I really like that with Penske. I know it's not really much of a thing anymore, but that's always awesome. I think that's super cool. Yeah, I always like it. Actually I will say I do have one that I'll bring up. The 22 Logano scheme was pictures was really damn cool. It had a bunch of pictures of fans and a bunch of pictures of different things on it.
Speaker 2 01:03:24 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 was pictures. 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 a far, it looked almost like a yellow camo. It had that like muddy yellow style to it. So I will say that's my trading paint. Yeah. I almost forgot about it and I'm glad I remembered. Um, big old shout out to new hair. Logano thick hair, Logano thick hair, Logano thick. He did say F Kyle Bush one time for me. Good old fuck Kyle Bus right in the damn Nashville super speeder into when I was walking out, we ran into Joey Logano walking out of Nashville Super Speedway.
Speaker 2 01:04:13 His for a truck race. For a truck race. Him and his wild where I was losing my freaking mind watching Priests win and Kyle Bush wasn't even in the race and people are still screaming, fuck Kyle Bush and what you do, Caleb. And Caleb turns around and he is like, you know what I'm talking about Joey? And he's like, fuck Kyle Bush immediately took off to the right call. I mean they immediately realized bad place to be drunk. Redneck dude screaming, fuck Kyle Bush at me and Kyle wasn't even in this race. Yeah, I gotta go. That's what he, so so he bee-lined away of Dawson man to grab a picture of him. I got a picture with him just smiling like a possum eating green shit. Just watching Ryan Priest win that race. I don't know where he was or where he was going, but we just happened to see him. I I just am glad he was where he was. This this is, uh, Joe Logano with thin hair was the old school port of shitter. Joe Logano with thick hair is like upgrading to the air conditioned nice mobile port of shitter. The premium man. That is, that is the upgrade. What Premium Shitter Man. <laugh>. Damn. The title's gonna say something about porta shit now. Premium Port shitter. Yeah. Joe, a hot box <laugh>.
Speaker 2 01:05:17 God damn. Oh man. But yeah, so we're going into Sonoma next week. Uh, I actually don't remember. We're going to ha Wasi aren't we this weekend? Is this, uh, the Hi Wasi weekend, uh, Cherokee, North Carolina. Cherokee. North Carolina. Hi Wasi. Myrtle Beach. Myrtle Beach. We're opening for Miranda ETT this weekend. Heck, is that the date man? I don't even know what's going on anymore. Laney Wilson. Travis Trt. Miranda Lambert. That's 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 yeah. 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. As long as that fat motherfucker in Orange shirt ain't in, uh, Cherokee will be in good shape. We'll end this with this good story.
Speaker 2 01:05:59 Yeah. Last year. This was a great story last year we're in at the play the same venue. It's a casino. It's a casino, middle of nowhere. North Carolina Cherokee, North Carolina Good Casino shows. Travis. I love them in the Boys and Us. It wasn't the best show ever, I'll put it that way. No, it wasn't 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. So I got a text message in the middle of the day during load in 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 or pretty much me, Scott, Jeff or Terryn are about the only four that ever go up and ring the doorbell to get his attention.
Speaker 2 01:06:45 So him having a 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 buses. Terrible setup for backstage security. Terrible, terrible. There's no security. Terrible. 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. That that's how Yeah, 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.
Speaker 2 01:07:28 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. 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 spy him. No. Yeah. It's, it's getting to that because he he knows, knows it was after the show know he was wearing Yeah. What he was wearing. 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.
Speaker 2 01:08:07 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 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. So finally I I I just stand there. I get a security guard to specifically sit by his bus and say, stay here until load out is done.
Speaker 2 01:08:52 Do not leave. So I go back in there, we finish 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 telling 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, was talking to Allison 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. 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.
Speaker 2 01:09:36 This dude's already at the front of Travis's bus jumping out, grabbing a gift basket from the backseat that was like sparkly, like a birthday party for a five-year-old girl gift basket. I don't, it wasn't it filled with moonshine, it was filled. Well I didn't know it at the time. And it jugs the moonshine. Yeah. I had no idea what it was at the time. So I'm like, what in the absolute shit is 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. 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.
