Episode Transcript
[00:00:05] Speaker A: This is Ray's rowdy racing with Caleb Conrady and Dawson Edwards.
[00:00:15] Speaker B: What up?
[00:00:17] Speaker A: Where's. Where's the greeting?
[00:00:18] Speaker C: Where are we at?
[00:00:20] Speaker D: I don't know.
[00:00:21] Speaker B: I ain't been saying, good morning, beautiful people.
[00:00:24] Speaker C: Damn, I miss it.
[00:00:25] Speaker A: I miss it every day.
[00:00:27] Speaker C: Well, I'll say it for you.
[00:00:28] Speaker A: Good morning, beautiful people. It's finally not the Dover race.
[00:00:32] Speaker C: Ah.
[00:00:33] Speaker B: All right, let's just start it off right now. Caleb sent me a text.
[00:00:37] Speaker A: Just send it straight.
[00:00:39] Speaker E: Okay.
[00:00:39] Speaker B: Not long ago. Let's see what it's like.
[00:00:41] Speaker A: 09:00 this morning.
[00:00:42] Speaker E: Caleb.
[00:00:43] Speaker B: This morning.
[00:00:44] Speaker E: Yeah.
[00:00:44] Speaker B: 1006 my time. 09:06 his time.
[00:00:47] Speaker D: And he just says, this is, quote.
[00:00:50] Speaker B: I can't fucking stand this car anymore.
[00:00:51] Speaker D: This is my cotton. Which car tomorrow for y'all don't know what that means. And I just sent back skull emojis.
[00:00:59] Speaker A: This tell us right off the rip here, first minute.
[00:01:05] Speaker B: Tell us why you can't fucking stand.
[00:01:07] Speaker D: This car anymore and why this is your cot.
[00:01:10] Speaker A: I'm.
[00:01:11] Speaker C: Yeah, this.
[00:01:12] Speaker A: I hate. I constantly hate sounding like the old man on Facebook comments, on NASCAR posts.
[00:01:21] Speaker B: But they're just accepted.
[00:01:23] Speaker D: I am.
[00:01:24] Speaker A: The longer and longer that this car goes on, the more of that I turn into, and I hate that. I'm a positive, happy go lucky. Looking to the bright side, guy.
[00:01:34] Speaker C: And I cannot have it with this.
[00:01:37] Speaker A: Goddang car anymore, man. I just can't do it.
[00:01:40] Speaker C: So, God, my biggest thing is just, dude, the jig is up.
[00:01:47] Speaker A: The fish ain't biting the floating worm. I'm not running away from the straw man like a crow anymore. If I see one more race come.
[00:01:56] Speaker C: Down to two guys, one of which is obviously faster than the other, air blocking each other. From five car links out, I know that they're not going to pass the leader.
[00:02:10] Speaker A: I'm no longer excited thinking that they're going to pass the leader. I'm not even joking with myself in saying, you know what? Maybe something crazy will happen. Because unless Bubba Wallace is around just anyone within the last 50 laps, there's.
[00:02:24] Speaker C: Not going to be a caution.
[00:02:25] Speaker A: So I'm just. I'm tired of it, man. I'm tired of them trying to build this up.
[00:02:31] Speaker C: Like, these finishes are epic badass finishes. Some of them have been.
[00:02:37] Speaker A: Most of them have not been watching.
[00:02:39] Speaker C: Kyle Larson be obviously faster than Denny.
[00:02:43] Speaker A: Go everywhere from the very bottom of the racetrack, touching the black of the.
[00:02:46] Speaker C: Apron, to the very top of the racetrack where there's not a tire mark left up there. He's over the cushion.
[00:02:53] Speaker A: You watch him do all of that, and you're telling me that he can't.
[00:02:56] Speaker C: Even get within three car lengths of Denny Hamline.
[00:02:59] Speaker A: That's what I'm sick of. I'm just.
[00:03:01] Speaker C: I'm over this car.
[00:03:03] Speaker A: This car is a car tomorrow.
[00:03:05] Speaker C: It is way too aerodynamically dependent, and.
[00:03:10] Speaker A: I'm so tired of that. And everybody always wants to point at different issues every single week. Like, it's a tire this week.
[00:03:16] Speaker C: I did it. You've done it.
[00:03:18] Speaker A: Everybody's done it.
[00:03:19] Speaker C: It's a tire this week, it's air. This week, it's horsepower.
[00:03:23] Speaker A: The next week, horsepower the next week. It's the way that this does this.
[00:03:27] Speaker C: I if there's a different problem every race, there's one common denominator, and it's the frickin car.
[00:03:35] Speaker A: So I'm sorry to anybody that's a next gen car fan. If you're a new fan watching this sport, I promise you there are races.
[00:03:42] Speaker C: That I do like in this car.
[00:03:44] Speaker D: Next week will be one of them.
God, I hope Kansas.
[00:03:51] Speaker B: Kansas has proven to be awesome in this car.
[00:03:54] Speaker A: We've proven that this car can do one thing better than most other cars.
[00:03:59] Speaker C: Were able to do anything, and that is mile and a half racing.
[00:04:02] Speaker A: But we have gouged the schedule of.
[00:04:05] Speaker C: Mile and a halves in the last five years.
[00:04:07] Speaker F: Yeah.
[00:04:07] Speaker D: They have taken everything that, like, everything that was awesome.
[00:04:14] Speaker E: And I.
[00:04:15] Speaker B: You could even throw this back to, like, before the boom happened with.
[00:04:20] Speaker E: With the.
[00:04:21] Speaker B: All the mile and a half track. So, like.
[00:04:24] Speaker D: But everything that, like, this sport was brought up on, this car shits on.
[00:04:31] Speaker E: Yes.
[00:04:31] Speaker D: And this car.
[00:04:33] Speaker B: This car would have been perfect when there was. When the schedule was 75% cookie cutter mile in house.
[00:04:40] Speaker D: Like, it would have been bangers every week.
[00:04:43] Speaker A: But that's another big issue that we have is the fact that, yeah, I.
[00:04:47] Speaker C: Feel like it's just a damn snake trying to eat its own tail.
[00:04:52] Speaker A: Every single big decision that NASCAR makes.
[00:04:55] Speaker C: Is in response to what's going on in the moment.
[00:04:58] Speaker A: But it's like, nobody has the foresight.
[00:05:00] Speaker C: To plan what this is going to look like going forward.
[00:05:04] Speaker A: We had too many mile and a halves, and everybody was liking the road course racing on the previous car, so we took out the mile and a halfs.
[00:05:11] Speaker C: We put in road course racing.
[00:05:12] Speaker A: Well, then right after we do that major change for this generation of car.
[00:05:16] Speaker C: Let'S just change to a new generation of car.
[00:05:19] Speaker F: Yeah.
[00:05:19] Speaker C: Then we get that car, and it.
[00:05:21] Speaker A: Sucks at all the things that you just added more of, and it's good at all the things you just took away.
[00:05:26] Speaker E: Yeah.
[00:05:26] Speaker A: So now we're trying to get more mile and a halves back into the.
[00:05:31] Speaker C: Sport, and we want fewer road courses.
[00:05:34] Speaker A: To react to this generation of car. But we're constantly changing the car to try to make it better on those racetracks. But then we're probably going to take.
[00:05:40] Speaker C: Them away, and it's, it's just this stupid cycle of, can we just figure.
[00:05:47] Speaker A: This damn thing out?
[00:05:48] Speaker C: Can we need to fix this car? This car needs to be fixed. And I know Jeff cluck's poll said that this was 70% a good race. I don't care. I think it wasn't.
[00:05:59] Speaker A: I think this race, if you watch.
[00:06:01] Speaker C: The scoring ticker, it was maybe one pass that happened every seven, eight laps somewhere in the field, and that's if you're lucky.
[00:06:09] Speaker B: I mean, Larson was all manufactured.
Larson was the only car that started.
[00:06:15] Speaker D: Excitement 21st or whatever it was, and then ended second also.
[00:06:20] Speaker B: I want to throw this out there. This is my random state of the day. Do you know how to stop a snake from eating its own self?
[00:06:27] Speaker C: I have no idea.
[00:06:29] Speaker D: Hand sanitizer.
[00:06:32] Speaker A: I didn't even know that that was bad enough of a problem. Someone came up with a tick tock life hack for it.
[00:06:37] Speaker E: Yes, they did.
[00:06:37] Speaker B: And I just saw it recently, and this snake was eating itself.
[00:06:42] Speaker D: Uh, and he was like, pretty.
[00:06:45] Speaker B: This is random, but I had to say it once.
[00:06:47] Speaker E: You said it.
[00:06:47] Speaker B: Because it's the first time I had.
[00:06:48] Speaker A: Hilarious.
[00:06:49] Speaker D: But, uh, this snake was like, he's.
[00:06:52] Speaker B: Eating himself pretty good.
[00:06:53] Speaker D: Like, there ain't.
[00:06:54] Speaker B: He's pretty much wrapped around into himself, you know?
[00:06:57] Speaker D: And this snake trainer guy, you know.
[00:07:02] Speaker B: He gets the snake, he pulls the snake out. This snake can't be venomous because he puts his fingers in its mouth, but he picks this snake that's eating itself.
[00:07:10] Speaker D: Up out of the cage.
[00:07:11] Speaker B: He sets it on the table, and.
[00:07:13] Speaker D: He'S like, this is how you get.
[00:07:14] Speaker B: A snake to quit eating itself. He puts germ x, wipes it on his hands, fucking gives the snake a.
[00:07:20] Speaker D: Good stroke, shoves its fingers on the side of the snake's throat.
[00:07:24] Speaker B: Immediately, the snake, like, regurgitates itself. And the snake, I mean, it had a foot up in itself and just.
[00:07:30] Speaker D: Boom, shot out of it from the, from that. So if you have, if you have.
[00:07:35] Speaker B: A snake and it's eating itself, you can save it with hand sanitizer.
[00:07:39] Speaker A: If any of our seven listeners have a snake at their house, try this trick and tell us if it works.
[00:07:45] Speaker B: Yeah, put, put two fingers in a snake's mouth and see what happens with.
[00:07:49] Speaker D: Hand sanitizer on it, man.
[00:07:52] Speaker A: Honestly, though, that's a sentence I don't think I ever thought I'd hear you.
[00:07:55] Speaker B: Say if I was ever getting attacked by a snake out in the wild. And I maybe I had, like, a little carabiner, you know, had some hand sanitizer on it.
[00:08:03] Speaker D: I assume if you squirt it on.
[00:08:05] Speaker B: The snake or in its mouth, like.
[00:08:07] Speaker D: It could help you out.
[00:08:08] Speaker C: Dog, the day that I see you.
[00:08:09] Speaker A: With a carabiner with some hand sanitizer on it is the day I ask.
[00:08:13] Speaker C: What the hell happened to you.
[00:08:14] Speaker B: Yeah, I mean, it's not likely that I'm ever gonna have hand sanitizer on.
[00:08:17] Speaker D: Me, but you're not counting it as.
[00:08:19] Speaker A: A possibility, which is throwing me off. I goin on in this conversation that's throwing me off. I feel like next week, you're gonna show up with a flute in the basket.
I just had to throw it out there.
[00:08:35] Speaker D: Fucking snake trainer now.
[00:08:37] Speaker A: Anyway, Dawson Edwards, snake trainer extraordinaire. We're gonna have to post that picture.
[00:08:41] Speaker C: Of us holding that snake last year.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[00:08:48] Speaker B: Another good.
[00:08:49] Speaker E: Yeah.
[00:08:49] Speaker B: Snake did pee on us.
[00:08:51] Speaker F: Um.
[00:08:54] Speaker A: We didn't have enough hand sanitizer, apparently.
[00:08:56] Speaker B: Yeah, no, see, my thing about snakes is I've never really minded snakes. Like, if I ran up on a snake on accident and I didn't know it was there and he didn't know I was there, then that might cause a problem.
[00:09:07] Speaker D: But if there's a snake and he's.
[00:09:09] Speaker B: Over there doing his thing and I'm over here, it's like, I'm okay with that snake over there.
[00:09:12] Speaker D: Well, in 2020, I was, uh. I don't know if you know the story.
[00:09:17] Speaker E: I don't know.
[00:09:19] Speaker A: I don't know where I was. Was there a snake in that hole you fell in?
[00:09:21] Speaker C: And talladega?
[00:09:23] Speaker D: It's possible.
[00:09:25] Speaker B: I did not have any hand sanitizer in Tal dega. Taladega is probably place where you should have hand sanitizer available, but there's probably.
[00:09:32] Speaker A: The least per capita in any county in America.
[00:09:35] Speaker B: But, uh, so in 2020, I was, like, going on a bunch of hikes, like, just doing stuff because there was nothing else to do. And I was back home, and I.
[00:09:44] Speaker D: Drove, like, a couple counties over, I found this, uh. I found this hiking trail that was, like, the front gates closed, but people.
[00:09:53] Speaker B: Would park at the front gate, walk around the gate, and then you would walk up, really, the driveway where you would drive, and then start the trail, you know? But normally, you would go up there in your car.
[00:10:01] Speaker D: Well, there's this huge snake. I mean, he was, I mean, no joke, five, six foot long, and he's pretty thick. And I didn't really.
[00:10:10] Speaker B: I was just bored, I guess.
[00:10:12] Speaker D: But I picked up a stick, and I was just gonna touch him.
[00:10:15] Speaker B: You know, the stick I had was, like, pretty long, so I felt.
I poked this snake, dude, and he lunged at me. So, I mean, in the blink of.
[00:10:24] Speaker D: An eye, lunged at me so fast, I think I've told my family this story. This snake lunged at me so fast, I mean, I almost crapped in my pants right there.
[00:10:37] Speaker B: And after I did this and saw how aggressive the snake was, I assumed this snake was probably extremely poisonous.
[00:10:43] Speaker D: So it's 2020.
[00:10:45] Speaker B: I'm in the middle of bfe with.
[00:10:47] Speaker A: No cell service on this trail, no hand sanitizer.
[00:10:51] Speaker B: No hand sanitizer to help me get this snake off of me.
[00:10:53] Speaker F: And if I would have got bitches.
[00:10:55] Speaker B: By that snake, I'm pretty sure I would have just died out there on.
[00:10:58] Speaker D: This gravel dirt road. So since that day in 2020, I have not even gotten close to a snake.
[00:11:05] Speaker A: I'm like, I'm gonna let you.
If you had your n 95 mask.
[00:11:10] Speaker C: You probably would have been fine.
[00:11:12] Speaker A: Probably everything back in, probably.
[00:11:14] Speaker B: But from. Since those last four years have gone.
[00:11:16] Speaker D: By, if I see a snake, I'll.
[00:11:18] Speaker B: Let him do his thing over there. I'll do my thing over here. No sticks, no hand sanitizer.
[00:11:24] Speaker D: If he's eating himself, that's on him, not me.
[00:11:26] Speaker C: So I know that the.
[00:11:27] Speaker A: I know the phrase is don't poke the bear, but I feel like it kind of, you know, applies in many.
[00:11:32] Speaker C: Situations with an animal and a pole.
[00:11:34] Speaker D: Yeah, don't poke the snake.
[00:11:35] Speaker A: Something to. Just something to keep in mind going forward. If you're ever on the trail again. It's like, so, mister Snake, I'm not.
[00:11:41] Speaker C: Going to try to, you know, poke.
[00:11:42] Speaker A: You with a stick.
[00:11:44] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:11:45] Speaker B: And I think a lot of that just had to do with just being.
[00:11:48] Speaker D: Slap ass, bored and alone.
[00:11:51] Speaker A: Like, damn, dog, you got so bored and alone, you 2020.
[00:11:55] Speaker E: I did. Yes.
[00:11:56] Speaker C: Damn, that's wild.
[00:11:57] Speaker A: That is a story I've never heard. I'm glad that we got to tell it.
[00:12:02] Speaker B: This race sucks so bad. We got to talk about snakes.
[00:12:05] Speaker A: Well, it is what it is. I mean, that's. I just wanted to get that out of the way. There was some good things we can talk about here. I'm not saying this entire race was a complete write off. I'm just sick of them trying to manufacture these finishes and try to make you feel special about them when you already know if you watch it from 35 out, you know how it's going.
[00:12:23] Speaker C: Finish. It's going to finish in the same.
[00:12:25] Speaker A: Order they're already in right now.
[00:12:26] Speaker B: That's exactly my quote with saying, like, they piss on us and tell us it's raining. That is my. Exactly what I mean by that.
[00:12:33] Speaker D: Like, they tell you and tell you.
[00:12:36] Speaker B: And tell you how great whatever is.
[00:12:39] Speaker D: And then it's like Denny Hamlin said on his podcast, he had some kind of percentage to this, but he says if you qualify on the poll and you start on the front of the race, there's like this super high percentage.
[00:12:55] Speaker B: That you're gonna win.
[00:12:55] Speaker D: That you win stage one.
[00:12:58] Speaker F: Yep.
[00:12:59] Speaker B: At most tracks, not just long as.
[00:13:01] Speaker A: You get your start good and it goes green and nothing crazy happens.
[00:13:04] Speaker F: Yeah, yeah.
[00:13:05] Speaker D: It's so like, I mean, they just.
[00:13:09] Speaker B: Kept showing pit road all day long.
[00:13:12] Speaker C: And I love pit road, but, like.
[00:13:15] Speaker B: They kept showing Denny and Larson and.
[00:13:17] Speaker D: The was true x.
[00:13:19] Speaker B: Whatever it was. That little three. Why no boom, Bowman.
[00:13:21] Speaker A: Sorry, Bowman.
[00:13:22] Speaker B: Little three wide thing there.
[00:13:24] Speaker C: I said out loud, I was like, that's the fit.
[00:13:27] Speaker B: That's the finish to the race.
[00:13:28] Speaker D: Like, that's.
[00:13:29] Speaker B: That's your photo finish they're looking for right there.
[00:13:32] Speaker D: Because once, whoever it is, especially a guy like Denny Hamlin, whoever it is that gains control of the race. Same thing with chase at, uh, uh, Texas.
[00:13:47] Speaker B: And they do the little neon thing, and they got the line when the caution thrown. And it, like his Chevrolet emblem, is like, poking through the neon blue line.
[00:13:55] Speaker D: Aside from whoever he was beside, whoever is in control. And if you're one of those drivers, like a chase Elliot, you know, Larson.
[00:14:04] Speaker B: Chastain, Truex, whoever, those top tier drivers.
[00:14:07] Speaker D: If you get control of the race at the end like that, there's a 99% chance that you got it.
[00:14:15] Speaker F: That's.
[00:14:15] Speaker B: I mean, they, they literally saying on.
[00:14:18] Speaker D: Like, door bumper clear, like Richmond talking.
[00:14:21] Speaker B: About with Hamlin, you know, quote unquote, jumping the start, he's like.
[00:14:25] Speaker D: He knows.
[00:14:25] Speaker B: Because if.
[00:14:26] Speaker D: If the 19 gets a fender on him going into turn one, it's.
[00:14:32] Speaker C: You're screwed.
[00:14:33] Speaker D: So the race, it doesn't even have to be.
They don't even have to have a green white checkered. They could just have a line pretty.
[00:14:41] Speaker B: Much at the entry into whatever turn one they're going into.
[00:14:44] Speaker D: Whatever car is ahead, right then they're probably got it.
[00:14:48] Speaker E: Yeah.
[00:14:48] Speaker A: It's no longer racing.
[00:14:49] Speaker C: It's restarting. It's rest riding. Restarting and riding.
[00:14:53] Speaker A: And that's restarts and pit road.
[00:14:55] Speaker D: Is what NASCAR Cup Series racing is in this car.
[00:14:59] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:15:00] Speaker A: And I hate to, like, pull the veil over anybody's eyes that's still enamored with what's going on this year. I mean, if you're able to hold.
[00:15:05] Speaker C: On to that innocence, good for you.
[00:15:08] Speaker A: Because I wish I had it. I wish I had the ability to watch these things and not be cynical and jaded about it, but you're just.
[00:15:13] Speaker C: Seeing the same thing play out over and over again. You get somebody up front and they.
[00:15:20] Speaker A: Cannot get past unless something crazy goes on in front of them that causes them to get out of the gas.
[00:15:26] Speaker C: In a major way zone.
[00:15:28] Speaker D: That's all I go back to. Me and you the other night when we watched the o four homestead race, and how.
[00:15:38] Speaker B: When I say free, I don't mean free as in, like, loose. I mean free as in, like, watching those cars. They could do and go anywhere. I know it's homestead. You can still go and do anywhere, but, like, the cars just look so free. You go to the top, to the bottom, pass a guy, close in on a guy.
[00:15:56] Speaker D: Like, it didn't matter.
[00:15:57] Speaker B: It did not matter.
[00:15:58] Speaker D: And like, I'm telling you, we've gotten.
[00:16:01] Speaker B: So far away from that. We've talked about it on here this season. We've gotten so far away from that.
[00:16:05] Speaker D: Like, unless you forget about it.
[00:16:09] Speaker B: I forget about.
[00:16:09] Speaker D: I forgot about it.
[00:16:11] Speaker B: And then you go back and look at those races at that time, and.
[00:16:13] Speaker D: You'Re just like, you know, wow, it's just crazy. It's crazy.
[00:16:19] Speaker C: Yeah, it really is. And, I mean, we've got.
[00:16:23] Speaker A: It's. It's like a broken record. It was like, if we talked about Shr. Last year, we talked about how bad they were doing. We talk about this car this year. We talk about how bad it is. I mean, it's just.
[00:16:32] Speaker C: Every single week, it just.
[00:16:33] Speaker A: It's impossible to. We're going to go to Kansas next week, and we're going to have great opinions about it, and I'm going to think it's a great race, and you're going to think it's a great race, and everybody's going to all be in.
[00:16:42] Speaker C: Agreement that that was a great race.
It's only going to happen there. I just want the.
[00:16:49] Speaker A: I just want to be able to walk into these every single week.
[00:16:52] Speaker E: I know.
[00:16:52] Speaker C: Not every single week can be a good week.
[00:16:55] Speaker A: I know that it's going to have, you're going to have boring races, even.
[00:16:58] Speaker C: With the best, but that's okay.
[00:17:00] Speaker A: I just don't want to go in.
[00:17:01] Speaker C: And know that it's going to be.
[00:17:03] Speaker A: A boring race, just like you just said. I want that uncertainty where there's a.
[00:17:06] Speaker C: Possibility that this could be really fun.
[00:17:09] Speaker E: But that's what I was saying.
[00:17:11] Speaker B: Uncertainty is just not. Makes NASCAR awesome.
[00:17:14] Speaker C: Yes.
[00:17:14] Speaker A: And I'm just not biting that worm anymore. I just know that they're gonna try.
[00:17:18] Speaker C: To hook me in.
[00:17:19] Speaker A: They're gonna try to reel me in and say, this is a great race.
[00:17:21] Speaker C: And it's like, dude, I've. I've been caught before, and then I.
[00:17:26] Speaker A: Get thrown back, and then I get caught again, and I get thrown back. I'm just not gonna have to go.
[00:17:30] Speaker C: Through the whole process again.
[00:17:31] Speaker E: I'm just gonna be a cynical, jaded.
[00:17:33] Speaker A: Old man in the Facebook comments yelling.
[00:17:35] Speaker C: Shit about NASCAR until they fix this damn car.
Yeah, but, I mean, that's the end of. That's enough of that for me.
[00:17:43] Speaker A: I know I'm gonna be happy go lucky positive guy again.
[00:17:46] Speaker D: Well, one more thing.
[00:17:48] Speaker B: I can be the negative guy.
[00:17:49] Speaker D: It's gotten to where, like, yesterday after the race, talking about this car that.
[00:17:57] Speaker B: They'Re wanting to change. You know, now we got the rear.
[00:18:01] Speaker D: View camera in the car. Larson says, I need to take that out.
[00:18:04] Speaker B: And then you got people commenting. It's like, well, spotters make racing too easy, and the cameras make racing too easy and, like, all this stuff.
[00:18:12] Speaker D: And it's like, we've gotten so far.
[00:18:15] Speaker B: Away and so far off that that is the conversation after. As soon as the checkered flag flies.
[00:18:21] Speaker D: And it's just like, what the fuck?
[00:18:25] Speaker C: How does this.
[00:18:26] Speaker D: How is this the conversation after a race?
[00:18:30] Speaker B: You know, now that that's the thing.
[00:18:31] Speaker A: Is those things are. For years, those things, of all those.
[00:18:35] Speaker C: Things have been around for years, those.
[00:18:38] Speaker A: Those are not.
[00:18:38] Speaker B: They did not have cameras in the.
[00:18:40] Speaker D: Car before next gen, though.
[00:18:42] Speaker A: I thought they had rear view cameras in those cars back then.
[00:18:44] Speaker F: Mmm.
[00:18:46] Speaker C: Maybe I was just imagining that.
[00:18:49] Speaker A: But either way, I mean, a mirror camera, either. Either one. You still got a view of the.
[00:18:52] Speaker C: Back end of the car.
[00:18:54] Speaker B: Yeah, I mean, mirror driving has been.
[00:18:55] Speaker D: A thing since the beginning of time. So, I mean, I don't know what.
[00:18:59] Speaker B: They mean by that. Like, what are you gonna do? Be it, go like it is in dirt racing and not have rearview mirrors and no spotters?
[00:19:05] Speaker D: I mean, that's not gonna work. You can't do that. You cannot professional of a level, not.
[00:19:14] Speaker B: At these speeds, not at these big.
[00:19:16] Speaker D: Tracks, not when they're running, you know, whatever.
[00:19:20] Speaker B: Four wide, three wide, whatever. You know, there's just.
[00:19:23] Speaker D: There's no way.
[00:19:24] Speaker B: And I just hate that. That's like the conversation. And then Larson, you know, Larson's the.
[00:19:28] Speaker D: One that said it, but he's like.
[00:19:30] Speaker B: I'm saying it, but he's like, I do it. You know, and he references, you know, Las Vegas air blocking the 20 car.
[00:19:36] Speaker E: You know, the whole Vegas.
[00:19:38] Speaker C: Do that to win, you have to do it.
[00:19:40] Speaker B: Same thing with those guys that talk.
[00:19:42] Speaker D: About Chili bowl and using.
[00:19:45] Speaker B: They got the big.
[00:19:49] Speaker D: Screen that comes.
[00:19:50] Speaker B: Down in the middle, you know, in the center of the track.
[00:19:52] Speaker D: The big. The big screen.
[00:19:53] Speaker E: Yeah.
[00:19:54] Speaker B: Okay. In midget racing, they don't have, they don't have the mirrors, and they don't have the respotters. They don't have all that.
[00:20:00] Speaker D: And the purest of that sort of.
[00:20:03] Speaker B: Racing, that's a new thing, this video screen. Things only happened in the last few years.
[00:20:09] Speaker C: Well, before that, you had to go.
[00:20:11] Speaker B: Off, just like all day talk dirt racers. Do you go off the sound of.
[00:20:15] Speaker D: A car to know where it is around you?
[00:20:18] Speaker B: Okay, well, now you have all these guys that say that they look. You look at the screen while you're going around, you can see the cars where they're at around you. That's like having your spotter right there. They all use it, but they also all say it makes it so much easier.
[00:20:33] Speaker F: Yeah.
[00:20:34] Speaker B: So, like, there's a.
[00:20:34] Speaker D: There's.
[00:20:35] Speaker B: All of the guys are in agreement.
[00:20:36] Speaker D: Like, yes, we use it, but, like, let's get rid of it.
[00:20:40] Speaker B: Go back to the way it was before. We didn't. We didn't know someone was right around us, you know, whatever.
[00:20:45] Speaker C: So, yeah, you.
[00:20:47] Speaker B: If you're going to win races, you have to use these things.
[00:20:49] Speaker D: But they're also saying, you know, I.
[00:20:52] Speaker B: Say all that to say. I just think it's dumb. That's the conversation. The cars and the racing and the blocking so bad that we have to talk about that.
[00:20:59] Speaker C: It's like, yeah, we have a bigger.
[00:21:01] Speaker A: Problem than the things that are making the blocking easier.
[00:21:03] Speaker C: We have blocking to begin with.
[00:21:05] Speaker A: So I'm all about people defending their lead, but you know what I want? What I miss is watching them defend the lead when that guy is probably going to try to bump and run.
[00:21:14] Speaker C: Them, when that guy's going to get.
[00:21:16] Speaker A: Up on their ass.
[00:21:17] Speaker C: When Kevin Harvick's trying to pass Ryan Blaney for the win, for his first.
[00:21:21] Speaker A: Win at Pocono, and he's right on.
[00:21:22] Speaker C: His bumper, like, he's not blocking him from five car links in a safety blanket away.
[00:21:28] Speaker A: They're right there, and they can get.
[00:21:30] Speaker C: Right up to him.
[00:21:31] Speaker A: There's always going to be aerodynamic. Aerodynamic problems with following a car that close, there's just no way to avoid that.
[00:21:37] Speaker C: It's always going to be something. But the way that this car is set up right now, you can't get.
[00:21:43] Speaker E: You.
[00:21:43] Speaker A: You just don't even have the opportunity to see close.
[00:21:46] Speaker C: Hardcore bumping, rubbing is racing race. And that's the thing that I'm.
[00:21:52] Speaker B: They say you can't even get now. Yeah, they, like Denny Hamlin talked about.
[00:21:55] Speaker D: Austin Cendrick specifically, was laps down at.
[00:21:59] Speaker B: Martinsville, and Denny Hammond said that he.
[00:22:01] Speaker D: Cannot touch his bumper.
[00:22:03] Speaker F: Yep.
[00:22:04] Speaker A: So, yeah, that's where I'm at.
[00:22:06] Speaker C: That is where I'm at.
[00:22:07] Speaker A: I think there's so many things that.
[00:22:09] Speaker C: This car just misses on that the.
[00:22:12] Speaker A: Few things that it hits out of.
[00:22:14] Speaker C: The park are just not enough as.
[00:22:17] Speaker B: It just only hits it out of the parking, you know, seven racetracks.
[00:22:23] Speaker C: Yeah, exactly.
[00:22:25] Speaker A: I mean, the pitcher up in an MLB team and the only thing he's got is a really, really good curveball. Well, he's missing four or five other.
[00:22:31] Speaker C: Pitches he needs to have, so he's probably not getting the call.
[00:22:35] Speaker F: Yeah, but that's.
[00:22:38] Speaker A: That's where I'm at with this car.
[00:22:40] Speaker C: That's where I'm at with what I was watching.
[00:22:43] Speaker A: Cause I. I was at Bud's house yesterday.
[00:22:46] Speaker C: Bud, our guitar tech, he had a.
[00:22:50] Speaker A: Birthday get together for Wendell, our lead guitar player.
So we all went over there and hung out for a while. We played a few songs around the kitchen table. Everybody was having a few beers, having a good time. Jessica made us some gator chili, which.
[00:23:04] Speaker C: Damn. Some of the best chili I've ever had in my entire life.
[00:23:08] Speaker D: Hell, yeah.
[00:23:09] Speaker A: We went over there.
[00:23:10] Speaker B: I'm ready to have some.
[00:23:12] Speaker A: You definitely need to have some. It was damn good.
[00:23:15] Speaker F: Yeah.
[00:23:16] Speaker C: So we were hanging out there, which.
[00:23:18] Speaker A: Of course, because we were hanging out over there, I didn't get to see much of the race happen live. So I took the time this morning, got up early and had me a cup of coffee, and I watched all.
[00:23:27] Speaker C: Of the end of stage two and stage three just to make sure I knew everything that went on.
[00:23:34] Speaker A: And that's the thing, is watching a.
[00:23:36] Speaker C: Race when you're drinking and cooking food on a Sunday will make anything more fun.
[00:23:41] Speaker A: Yes, watching that race on a Monday morning with nothing but a cup of.
[00:23:44] Speaker C: Coffee and not nearly enough water in my body does not help that race.
[00:23:49] Speaker A: Look entertaining to me.
[00:23:51] Speaker C: I voted no on the poll, as.
[00:23:52] Speaker A: You can obviously tell.
[00:23:54] Speaker F: Yeah.
[00:23:54] Speaker A: But apparently 70% of people thought it was a good race. And I really want to know.
[00:23:59] Speaker C: I want to know what 70% of people saw that made them say, hell, yeah.
[00:24:04] Speaker A: Do we just have 70% of NASCAR fans or Denny Hamlin fans or what?
[00:24:08] Speaker C: Because I'm trying to figure it out.
[00:24:10] Speaker A: Why that was such an overwhelmingly positively viewed race.
[00:24:13] Speaker F: Yeah.
[00:24:14] Speaker B: I did not expect.
I did not expect it to be because they considered the 70% mark is like, it's good. You know what I mean? Like, that's a good race. That's a good number.
[00:24:24] Speaker D: And I personally expect it to be.
[00:24:27] Speaker C: More like a 50 50 kind of.
[00:24:30] Speaker B: Number, not a 70 30 kind of number.
[00:24:32] Speaker E: So.
[00:24:34] Speaker B: I don't know. I did vote yes, but only because.
[00:24:38] Speaker D: Like, I just didn't think that race was not as bad as Richmond or Coda or what Walken's Glenn is going.
[00:24:48] Speaker B: To be or, you know, these tracks that we just. Martensville.
[00:24:52] Speaker D: That are just like.
I mean, that's awful. That is plumb ass awful. And this is, for me, a hairstep up from awful, but not great.
[00:25:04] Speaker A: And that's funny because that's just not enough of a step up from. Because I agree with everything you just said. It's just not enough of a step up for me to even cross into good race territory for me.
[00:25:13] Speaker F: Yeah.
[00:25:14] Speaker C: It's one of those just.
I just want to see Kyle Larson, who's obviously got a fast car.
[00:25:23] Speaker A: Not that I was financially incentivized for.
[00:25:25] Speaker C: Him to do well or anything, but I wanted to see him get up there and have a good finish, have.
[00:25:34] Speaker A: The ability to at least do whatever he could to get up front. And no matter what he did, he couldn't even come within three car lengths.
[00:25:41] Speaker C: Of Denny Hamlin with lack of traffic. To have to avoid the entire time for Hamlet.
[00:25:46] Speaker A: That's just not okay.
[00:25:47] Speaker D: Same thing.
[00:25:48] Speaker B: Same thing I texted you. It's the same exact thing. If you watch the first part of the race with Kyle Busch leading in Blaney right behind him. Blaney, every time he got to his bumper, he would lose eight to ten.
[00:25:59] Speaker D: Car lengths just because the cart, the.
[00:26:01] Speaker B: Nose, the car cannot turn it anymore. And you know just as well as.
[00:26:05] Speaker D: I do, and just as well as Kyle Busch does, he knows as soon.
[00:26:12] Speaker B: As he is not in the lead, he knows that car is not going.
[00:26:15] Speaker D: To get back to the lead.
[00:26:17] Speaker E: Yeah.
[00:26:18] Speaker A: You know, it's going to. You're going to have the same thing happen to you that you're doing to somebody else right now.
[00:26:22] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:26:22] Speaker B: And he had.
[00:26:24] Speaker D: He had a great day.
[00:26:27] Speaker B: He did not fall outside of the top ten, but that was where that car ran. Was like a six to eight, six.
[00:26:33] Speaker D: To 10th kind of place car. But you take a, even a 15th place car and put it down, you.
[00:26:41] Speaker B: Can lead the race.
[00:26:43] Speaker D: I love Freddie Kraft's analogy about this car.
[00:26:47] Speaker B: It's like the crane racing thing. Like, if you take a crane and.
[00:26:51] Speaker D: You pick up a car and you.
[00:26:52] Speaker B: Put it in second, or you take a car and you pick it up a 15th place car and you put.
[00:26:56] Speaker D: It in the lead and you put the first place car in 15, that's where they're going to run.
[00:27:02] Speaker F: Yep.
[00:27:03] Speaker B: There was laps in yesterday's race.
[00:27:05] Speaker A: Simple. It's that simple.
[00:27:07] Speaker B: And, and Keselowski posted yesterday after the race, they ended up finishing 30th.
[00:27:12] Speaker D: But he posted.
[00:27:12] Speaker B: He was like, we had top ten speed.
[00:27:14] Speaker D: There was chunks, big chunks of that race. You know, the fastest car on the racetrack was Brad Keselowski, and he was running like 27.
[00:27:24] Speaker F: Yeah.
[00:27:25] Speaker D: Can't pass.
[00:27:27] Speaker C: Riculous, man.
[00:27:29] Speaker B: And I don't know.
I don't even know how. And pit road obviously helped him out a lot. But, I mean, you look at Larson and Larson from 21st, I say he's the only one that could pass.
[00:27:39] Speaker D: It took him forever in the old car, in the gen six car, even.
[00:27:44] Speaker B: Larson was as fast cars he had.
[00:27:47] Speaker D: He would have gotten from 21st to the lead 50.
[00:27:53] Speaker B: Well, yeah. And it took him the whole stage.
[00:27:55] Speaker D: One to get the 6th. And they said the stage one was the longest stage of the race.
Yeah, it was like 120 or 140.
[00:28:04] Speaker B: Laps or something like that. I don't remember exactly, but it took him that long just to get to six.
And then he just methodically, you watched the whole thing work his way up and he could pass one car, one car, one car. And then at the end, you know, it was like he got down to where he was like over 3 seconds, like three and a half, 3.3, something like that. Seconds behind.
[00:28:25] Speaker D: And he gets up into.
I mean, he was faster.
[00:28:30] Speaker B: He was a couple car lengths away, just like he just could not.
[00:28:33] Speaker D: You can't get to him.
[00:28:35] Speaker E: So that's, that's.
[00:28:36] Speaker A: It's just an. Is what it is for right now scenario.
[00:28:39] Speaker C: And, God, if I hear Elton Sawyer.
[00:28:42] Speaker A: Say one more time, we're going to be taking big swings at this car.
[00:28:45] Speaker C: It'S like, dude, take a big swing.
[00:28:48] Speaker A: Then let's talk about all these guys.
[00:28:53] Speaker B: In the suits of the sport all say we're open to everything, we're open to anything.
[00:28:59] Speaker A: And it's like, they're not.
[00:29:00] Speaker B: Well, you're not.
[00:29:01] Speaker A: You're just bullshit.
[00:29:02] Speaker C: Lie.
[00:29:02] Speaker B: Yeah, you're just saying that.
[00:29:04] Speaker D: You're just saying that.
[00:29:05] Speaker F: Yeah.
[00:29:06] Speaker A: So to those that, listen, I promise I'm not. This is cranky all the time, but I'm not gonna let this go until we fix it.
[00:29:13] Speaker C: I just want to see good NAScar racing again. I want to show up at tracks and not know that the person who.
[00:29:21] Speaker A: Starts first wins stage one.
[00:29:22] Speaker C: I don't want to know the person.
[00:29:24] Speaker A: Who'S leading the race at the end.
[00:29:26] Speaker C: Is going to win despite the best efforts of everybody in second, non down.
[00:29:31] Speaker F: That's just.
[00:29:31] Speaker A: That's not racing to me.
[00:29:33] Speaker C: That is just.
That is having good pit stops and good restarts.
[00:29:37] Speaker E: Yeah.
[00:29:38] Speaker A: Races to be.
[00:29:40] Speaker D: To be the finish.
[00:29:42] Speaker C: Yeah, I literally said.
[00:29:44] Speaker B: I literally said it out loud yesterday. I was like, that's your photo finish. They want.
[00:29:48] Speaker C: They should just post that.
[00:29:49] Speaker E: Yeah.
[00:29:50] Speaker D: For the photo.
[00:29:51] Speaker A: That'd be good. Don't even need the last 50 laps. Don't even watch.
[00:29:54] Speaker E: Yes.
[00:29:54] Speaker B: Kyle Busch would say, telling you they need a line.
[00:29:57] Speaker D: All it is, any line at the.
[00:29:59] Speaker B: Start of the first turn after a.
[00:30:01] Speaker D: Restart in the last run was, yep.
[00:30:03] Speaker B: Not even a, you know, a green white checkered situation.
[00:30:06] Speaker D: Yeah, but you just know whether it's.
[00:30:09] Speaker B: Three laps, 30 laps, or 130 laps, he's not going to get around him. You know, and it's like, they just want you.
[00:30:20] Speaker D: They want you to think he can.
[00:30:22] Speaker B: You know, they want the average fan.
[00:30:23] Speaker D: To, like, think he can get there.
[00:30:27] Speaker A: But that's only going to last as.
[00:30:29] Speaker C: Long as the illusion holds up.
[00:30:31] Speaker A: And as soon as people start seeing.
[00:30:33] Speaker C: Through it, like ourselves.
[00:30:35] Speaker B: Oh, it's there.
[00:30:36] Speaker D: Like, anybody seeing through it.
[00:30:38] Speaker C: Well, as soon as the casual fan.
[00:30:40] Speaker A: Starts seeing through it, that's when this is really going to start taking a nosedive in the ratings.
[00:30:44] Speaker B: And let me.
[00:30:45] Speaker A: People are just not going to be.
[00:30:46] Speaker C: Interested and seeing that every.
[00:30:48] Speaker B: Let me throw this out there.
[00:30:51] Speaker D: Mamba Smith, the guy who is, who is employed by NASCAR, if I can get his day tapping in.
[00:31:02] Speaker B: Mamba Smith on Twitter, does not pull his thing up. He's on Kevin Harvick's podcast.
But he was like, you know, he literally says something like, you know, most.
[00:31:11] Speaker D: People would say this.
[00:31:15] Speaker B: This would dig on the next gen car in this race, but in all reality, it's because Jenny Hamlin did a great job, like, picking different lines and.
[00:31:24] Speaker D: Keeping Kyle Larson guessing. But, you know who pays his paycheck?
[00:31:28] Speaker F: NASCAR.
[00:31:30] Speaker C: NASCAR.
[00:31:32] Speaker A: So he just, it's just, if it's bad, it's bad. Let's fix it. If you just admit that it's bad.
[00:31:38] Speaker C: And you're working on it, then we.
[00:31:40] Speaker A: Can get along with that.
[00:31:41] Speaker C: But just keep on lying to us.
[00:31:44] Speaker A: Telling us it's not the, it's not a car problem, it's a tire problem. It's not a horsepower problem, it's an arrow problem. I I'm just.
[00:31:49] Speaker C: I'm bigger than that problem I have.
[00:31:52] Speaker B: With all these people that are employed by NASCAR. The mrn guys are the worst, and I love mrn and prn and all that, but they're the worst because they.
[00:31:59] Speaker D: Go on twitter and they will give you every single reason and excuse as.
[00:32:07] Speaker B: To why something, you know, it don't matter what it is as to why something was awesome when it 100% wasn't awesome, they will any excuse to tell you as to why it was cool.
[00:32:20] Speaker D: Or why that did happen or why something, you know, whatever. And it's just anytime you look at.
[00:32:28] Speaker B: Those range, you just look at who.
[00:32:31] Speaker D: Who, you know, funds their paycheck.
[00:32:34] Speaker B: Same reason I don't love listening to.
[00:32:38] Speaker D: Like, Kevin Harvick's podcast, Corey La Joyce podcast.
[00:32:44] Speaker B: Those guys. Those are NASCAR podcasts. NASCAR funded podcasts. They're not. That's why the Dale Junior dirty mo media is awesome to me. Because all those guys say exactly what they want to say.
[00:32:54] Speaker D: Because Dell junior pays their paychecks, not NASCAR.
[00:32:58] Speaker F: Yeah.
[00:32:58] Speaker A: It's all about the show there.
[00:33:00] Speaker B: Yeah, you can never.
[00:33:02] Speaker C: About the entertainment.
[00:33:03] Speaker E: Yeah.
[00:33:03] Speaker B: You can just never take someone whose paycheck is from NASCAR.
[00:33:07] Speaker D: You can never take their opinion, you.
[00:33:09] Speaker B: Know, a thousand percent, because that may not even be what they believe, but.
[00:33:14] Speaker C: They have to say it or they.
[00:33:16] Speaker A: Get any of their personal opinions edited out.
[00:33:19] Speaker C: Yeah, so, so, but that's just, that's.
[00:33:24] Speaker A: That's what I have to say on that. I mean, the race itself, there was.
[00:33:27] Speaker C: A couple cool moments in there, but it wasn't much.
[00:33:31] Speaker A: I mean, it was a little bit of drama with William Byron on pit.
[00:33:34] Speaker C: Road having a rough day. Dropping the jack, getting taken out in that big record before that happened. Oh, yeah, he definitely did.
[00:33:42] Speaker D: Same thing. Take a car that lead laps, fastest.
[00:33:46] Speaker B: Car on the track, put it in 25th, give him a 22nd pit stop.
[00:33:49] Speaker A: And watch what happens.
[00:33:50] Speaker B: Yeah, let the jack drop on pit road and you're not coming back from that. And then you see what happens. You race in the back and you.
[00:33:57] Speaker D: Get hit, you know, in a, you know, big wreck.
[00:34:00] Speaker F: Yeah.
[00:34:01] Speaker A: Someone I was surprised to see that stayed up there where he did for so long with the damage on his nose that he had was true. After that Bowman incident with that big, giant hole in the front of the.
[00:34:11] Speaker C: Car, I was really surprised that that.
[00:34:14] Speaker A: Sucker wasn't just pushing through the corner like he was getting air blocked the whole time.
[00:34:18] Speaker B: Totally.
[00:34:18] Speaker A: So the fact that he still finished.
[00:34:20] Speaker C: Where he did was extremely impressive to me.
[00:34:23] Speaker A: I don't know if they just had that fast of a car or that.
[00:34:26] Speaker C: Good a grip going on underneath it, but that was a soon.
[00:34:30] Speaker D: As soon as I saw it be that the front end that jacked up.
[00:34:34] Speaker B: High in the air and then having.
[00:34:35] Speaker D: The splitter in the body being separated.
[00:34:38] Speaker B: I mean, I 100% was like, I.
[00:34:40] Speaker D: Mean, that's a parachute. He's screwed, but it didn't matter.
[00:34:44] Speaker C: Yeah, it really didn't.
[00:34:46] Speaker A: I mean, he must have just been air blocking like a mother.
[00:34:49] Speaker C: That's just wild.
[00:34:50] Speaker E: Yeah, it is.
[00:34:53] Speaker A: Another wild finish to me was Noah Gregson in the.
[00:34:56] Speaker C: In 6th?
[00:34:57] Speaker B: Noah Gregson's out.
[00:35:00] Speaker E: Yeah.
[00:35:00] Speaker B: Finish wise. Now, I know that Briscoe has that average running position thing going on, but.
[00:35:06] Speaker D: Gregson outruns Briscoe and finishes.
[00:35:09] Speaker C: Yeah, absolutely.
[00:35:12] Speaker F: It's.
[00:35:12] Speaker A: It's really cool to see that. I'm a big fan of Gregson. I hope he does well, and I just love seeing him have success at a team that's obviously struggling. Totally coming into it first year, doing.
[00:35:24] Speaker B: All day to qualify fifth or 6th.
[00:35:25] Speaker D: Finish fifth or 6th.
[00:35:27] Speaker B: I mean, ran right there.
[00:35:28] Speaker D: Top ten all day long.
[00:35:30] Speaker E: Yeah.
[00:35:30] Speaker D: Really cool.
[00:35:31] Speaker A: Really cool to see that.
[00:35:32] Speaker C: No doubt.
[00:35:33] Speaker D: What about a Ryan priest?
[00:35:35] Speaker B: Just on fire for 70 laps, just.
[00:35:38] Speaker D: Inhaling it the whole time.
[00:35:40] Speaker C: Dude, he is.
[00:35:41] Speaker A: He's having a rough couple years, man. Something just being in a team that just isn't going.
[00:35:48] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah, I.
[00:35:50] Speaker A: You know, Ryan Priest can win these races. His xfinity debut with the first, like four races he had, he wins like.
[00:35:56] Speaker C: Two or three of them.
[00:35:58] Speaker A: You know, the guy can race. I think there's a combination of this car, the team he's at, and the team specifically.
[00:36:05] Speaker C: He's on within shr.
[00:36:07] Speaker A: Something is just not firing on all cylinders there.
[00:36:11] Speaker C: I really wish they could figure that.
[00:36:14] Speaker A: Out and put it together, but this.
[00:36:15] Speaker C: Has been an ongoing problem for pretty much every year he's been at SHR.
[00:36:20] Speaker A: And I really want to see the guy succeed because he does a lot of extra work on the cars.
[00:36:25] Speaker C: He does a lot of.
[00:36:26] Speaker A: He does a lot of the mechanicking.
[00:36:28] Speaker C: And anything that he can do to.
[00:36:29] Speaker A: Be more involved with the build of the car. He's all about that kind of stuff, and I love that blue collar mentality.
[00:36:34] Speaker C: It just doesn't seem to be working for that 41 team right now.
[00:36:38] Speaker D: I mean, I'm just going to go.
[00:36:39] Speaker B: Out and on a limb and say.
[00:36:40] Speaker D: I mean, his whole entire cup career has not been good at all.
[00:36:47] Speaker A: Yeah, I completely, and I have.
[00:36:50] Speaker B: I mean, Ryan Priest is a hell of a race car driver.
[00:36:53] Speaker D: Like, I mean, obviously, all you got.
[00:36:54] Speaker B: To do is look at his stats.
[00:36:57] Speaker D: But something about it, and I have.
[00:37:01] Speaker B: Said this on here before, there's nothing.
[00:37:03] Speaker D: Wrong with, like, being a badass Xfinity.
[00:37:07] Speaker B: Series driver, in my opinion.
[00:37:09] Speaker D: Like, yeah, if racing isn't for him.
[00:37:13] Speaker B: And he stepped down and, you know.
[00:37:15] Speaker D: Did a not even Eric Amarola kind of thing, but a, you know, like.
[00:37:20] Speaker B: A random, you know, algar kind of thing, I think, yeah, those cars fit.
[00:37:25] Speaker D: His driving style better.
[00:37:27] Speaker E: They did.
[00:37:28] Speaker B: And he would.
[00:37:28] Speaker F: Yes.
[00:37:28] Speaker B: So much real.
[00:37:30] Speaker F: Yeah.
[00:37:30] Speaker B: And he has so much experience.
[00:37:32] Speaker D: It's just like an Eric Amarola. Like, you know.
[00:37:36] Speaker B: You know, Eric Amarola is going to.
[00:37:38] Speaker D: Win multiple races this year.
[00:37:41] Speaker B: He's already won one. He runs top five, top ten every.
[00:37:43] Speaker D: Time he gets in a car. He has so much experience, and he is in top tier equipment, and it's just, I don't know.
[00:37:52] Speaker B: I don't see anything wrong with that.
[00:37:54] Speaker D: And Priest has just not had it this whole time.
[00:37:59] Speaker B: And this is coming from two guys who really enjoy you specifically, really like.
[00:38:03] Speaker D: And love Ryan Priest as a race car driver.
[00:38:07] Speaker A: And it sounds like you're starting to come around on Amarillo all of a sudden.
[00:38:10] Speaker C: Let's freaking go.
[00:38:12] Speaker E: I'm not.
[00:38:13] Speaker B: I'm just telling you the fact, basically, I'm not Amarillo fan. I'm just telling you the facts of.
[00:38:19] Speaker A: What it is with him being.
[00:38:21] Speaker B: So you take any of those guys.
[00:38:24] Speaker D: Who run, you know, 20th every week.
[00:38:28] Speaker B: In cup and have been doing it for a long time, if you go put them in an Xfinity Series car, in a JGR Xfinity Series car, I.
[00:38:35] Speaker D: Guarantee you they win races.
[00:38:36] Speaker F: I mean.
[00:38:37] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, 100% they win races.
[00:38:40] Speaker C: So, I mean, it's.
[00:38:41] Speaker A: You want to know how hard the cup series is? Is watch a Cup series driver who barely won any races, like an Amarola.
[00:38:47] Speaker C: Who didn't win very many, but he.
[00:38:49] Speaker A: Goes down into the Xfinity series, and he could WHOOP ass down there. And it's not like he's beaten up on kids that have no experience.
[00:38:56] Speaker C: There's some really experienced drivers in the Xfinity series program, and he'll still go out there and run circles around him. And he hardly could find the success at cup outside of sponsorship that he.
[00:39:10] Speaker A: Really, I think was looking for. And he goes down there and he was whoops, tail. I mean, that's how hard the cut series is.
[00:39:15] Speaker D: So, yeah, I mean, he won.
[00:39:16] Speaker A: Seeing a guy go up and not.
[00:39:18] Speaker C: Be competitive in cut doesn't surprise me.
[00:39:21] Speaker A: Necessarily when it's somebody you really like.
[00:39:23] Speaker C: And really have a lot of faith in. But you're right.
[00:39:26] Speaker A: Moving down into that Xfinity series, it's.
[00:39:28] Speaker C: Like there you can showcase your talent and find a team you can gel.
[00:39:32] Speaker A: With because you're probably going to end.
[00:39:33] Speaker C: Up with the best paying team, the.
[00:39:34] Speaker A: Best paid team, and the most highly.
[00:39:37] Speaker C: Funded and best equipment you can get. And welcome to it. You're a very talented race car driver.
[00:39:43] Speaker A: And you're winning races.
[00:39:44] Speaker D: Yeah, I'd much rather win races and.
[00:39:46] Speaker B: Xfinity than run 25th in cup every.
[00:39:48] Speaker D: Week of my life.
[00:39:49] Speaker C: Yeah, it's very true.
[00:39:51] Speaker E: You're going to be a lot more.
[00:39:52] Speaker B: Relevant winning Xfinity Series races than running 25th and cup.
[00:39:57] Speaker E: Yeah.
[00:39:57] Speaker D: Because you go out for a couple seasons like a Ryan priest and you.
[00:40:03] Speaker B: Go out and run a couple seasons.
[00:40:04] Speaker D: Where you finish 25th or worst every week, you forget.
[00:40:08] Speaker C: Forgot about.
[00:40:10] Speaker D: I mean, we do.
[00:40:12] Speaker E: And it's so.
[00:40:13] Speaker C: Absolutely.
[00:40:14] Speaker B: And that's been happening since the beginning of time. That's not a new thing.
[00:40:17] Speaker E: That's.
[00:40:17] Speaker B: That's been happening forever. So no doubt, you know, kid driving.
[00:40:21] Speaker A: That 51 machine back there that's got a win at Daytona that you hardly.
[00:40:25] Speaker C: Ever see postered up there.
[00:40:27] Speaker A: I mean, it's a good way. That's exactly what it is. You run in the back, you get forgotten about.
[00:40:31] Speaker E: Yeah.
[00:40:32] Speaker D: So I don't know, I could just see, I can say pre CNF all.
[00:40:37] Speaker B: This and just going back modified racing, but I would love to see him race.
[00:40:41] Speaker D: I could to race a, race an Xfinity Series car.
[00:40:45] Speaker B: And then, you know, there's so many rumors going around about SHR and sponsorship.
[00:40:49] Speaker D: And charters and just everything. So it's.
It can't help either that.
[00:40:59] Speaker C: And I.
[00:41:00] Speaker B: These guys are two gazillionaires, so it doesn't even. They can literally do whatever the hell they want. But it does not help either. I don't think that Tony Stewart is running a full time top dragster NHR series schedule, doing his own thing.
[00:41:15] Speaker D: And then Gene Heist is older than dirt and not in the best health and he's not around either.
[00:41:22] Speaker B: And like I said, those guys, they have made their money. They have proven everything they need to prove, and they can literally do whatever they want. So I. I don't care what they do.
[00:41:32] Speaker D: I'm just saying as a team, when your owner owners are never around, never.
[00:41:40] Speaker B: At the shop, never at the racetrack, there's no, yeah, there's no leadership around. And, like, Tony Stewart's, you know, he's like, why hire the people, you know, that are the leaders and the people. I put the people in place.
[00:41:52] Speaker D: And it's like, I, I can get in, in that to extent. But it's like I told you on.
[00:42:01] Speaker B: Our situation about, you know, our tour.
[00:42:03] Speaker D: Manager and stuff, it's like, it's good.
[00:42:06] Speaker C: To have the leader there.
[00:42:08] Speaker B: There's the guy you can turn to no matter what. Like, there's always someone that's in charge, you know, in more power or whatever in you. But, like, still having that leader there.
[00:42:19] Speaker D: No matter what you're doing. I don't care if you're paving the.
[00:42:22] Speaker B: Road or you're running a country music career or you're running a NASCAR Cup Series team, you got to have that.
[00:42:28] Speaker D: Leader in house more than he's not.
[00:42:32] Speaker B: In house, you know, definitely.
[00:42:34] Speaker A: I agree with that. I could see that being a huge thing that causes a lot of, causes a lot of the issues that goes on over there. Yeah, that's, that's a very good take on that.
[00:42:43] Speaker E: Yeah.
[00:42:43] Speaker D: So that's my opinion on ShR and absolutely.
[00:42:49] Speaker B: Who knows what charters are going to go for? They don't even love last week when they say that Steve O'Donnell comes out and says, we are very close to agreement. And then all the owners, Keselowski, Hamlin, Jeff Gordon, they all say, we have.
[00:43:03] Speaker D: Not heard a single word from y'all.
[00:43:05] Speaker F: Yeah.
[00:43:06] Speaker A: What are you talking about? You were just lying to people. Just like hell, just a lot of.
[00:43:11] Speaker D: People piss on me and tell me what I want. That's exactly all that's, NASCAR has been.
[00:43:16] Speaker B: Doing that since the beginning of time. It's their show and you should just be happy to be a part of it. And that's been their mentality forever. And now you finally have guys like Denny Hamlin, Keselowski, you know, Jeff Gordon coming in with his new, I say new but younger mentality. You know, a guy that's 54, you know, still younger, but has this mentality.
[00:43:36] Speaker D: Of like, yes, NASCAR runs the show.
[00:43:39] Speaker B: But without these teams and without the drivers and without us showing up every.
[00:43:43] Speaker D: Week, there is no show.
[00:43:45] Speaker B: Yeah, they got to give them something.
[00:43:47] Speaker D: They got, you know, the, that's a.
[00:43:49] Speaker B: Whole nother conversation about money.
[00:43:53] Speaker A: Enough about.
[00:43:54] Speaker E: Yeah.
[00:43:54] Speaker A: To be able to speak too crazy into it.
[00:43:56] Speaker E: Yeah.
[00:43:58] Speaker B: That we will never see in our whole entire lives.
[00:44:01] Speaker C: So, like, yeah.
[00:44:03] Speaker D: You know, like $7 billion.
[00:44:06] Speaker B: To the average NASCAR, any not average anybody is just like this wild, crazy, humongous number. But to those guys, they all know exactly how $7 billion gets broken down.
[00:44:18] Speaker D: And works, you know, so. Yep.
[00:44:22] Speaker F: I don't know.
[00:44:23] Speaker B: It's, you know.
[00:44:23] Speaker D: Yeah, it's just a whole, that's a.
[00:44:25] Speaker B: Whole nother can of worms.
[00:44:26] Speaker C: But if we're gonna work, if we're.
[00:44:28] Speaker B: Gonna get these guys.
[00:44:33] Speaker E: I don't know. Yeah.
[00:44:34] Speaker B: The business model is just so screwed up, and I just love having guys.
[00:44:38] Speaker D: Like Michael Jordan and Michael Jordan's business.
[00:44:42] Speaker B: Manager and all this stuff to come in and they know how real businesses work. And they come in, it's like, y'all.
[00:44:47] Speaker D: Been doing this and getting this little.
[00:44:49] Speaker C: Bit of the pie.
[00:44:50] Speaker B: So now McDonald's and monster and Jordan Brand has to fund everything.
[00:44:56] Speaker C: It's like, what? That don't make sense.
[00:44:58] Speaker B: Welcome to NASCAR, but welcome, you know, welcome to it.
[00:45:01] Speaker A: But start raising hell, please.
[00:45:04] Speaker B: Yeah, they are. I think. I think him and his people are.
[00:45:08] Speaker D: One of the biggest needle pushers for this whole situation.
[00:45:12] Speaker C: Yeah, I'm loving it.
[00:45:13] Speaker A: I'm loving the diversity. We're getting into the team ownership side of things with all sorts of different people that now own teams. It's not just four billionaires and a.
[00:45:22] Speaker C: Bunch of other guys now.
[00:45:23] Speaker A: It's kind of like a bunch of.
[00:45:24] Speaker C: Millionaires, which is working out great for the, the transparency of the financial side of NASCAR.
[00:45:33] Speaker D: I don't know.
[00:45:33] Speaker B: They're operate. I think they're all, don't get me.
[00:45:37] Speaker C: Wrong, they're all still very, very high.
[00:45:40] Speaker A: Yeah, they're rich.
[00:45:41] Speaker C: They're rich dudes. But what I'm saying is you've got.
[00:45:46] Speaker A: I can think of way more team owners, individuals in ownership roles at teams.
[00:45:51] Speaker C: And people that run teams nowadays.
[00:45:54] Speaker A: I can think of a lot more of them than I could have told.
[00:45:56] Speaker C: You back in the day.
[00:45:57] Speaker A: And they're all a lot more vocal. They are all starting to speak up even more than they ever were. And it's starting to become more obvious.
[00:46:04] Speaker C: That they're starting to create their own.
[00:46:07] Speaker A: Platform so they can present their own side of the issue.
[00:46:09] Speaker C: They're going outside of the boardroom and just saying, look, fans, here's the deal. And laying it out for us on a silver platter.
[00:46:16] Speaker A: One of the greatest things that you ever introduced me, you and Brandon specifically.
[00:46:20] Speaker C: Told me when we were touring Roush the first time we met Brandon, he said, you need to get on Twitter.
[00:46:27] Speaker A: You need to get on Twitter and you need to start following everybody you.
[00:46:30] Speaker C: Can think of in NASCAR and start.
[00:46:32] Speaker A: Getting your feed full of that stuff. And it was the greatest decision I.
[00:46:35] Speaker C: Ever made as a fan because it's so true. Everybody on there starts talking, and they.
[00:46:40] Speaker A: Throw their opinions out and they give.
[00:46:42] Speaker C: You stats and they show you things behind the scenes. If you are listening and you don't have a Twitter account following everything NASCAR.
[00:46:50] Speaker A: You'Re missing out on a ton, I promise.
[00:46:53] Speaker E: Yeah.
[00:46:53] Speaker B: Because there's so many things.
[00:46:56] Speaker D: Just, this is so.
[00:46:57] Speaker B: This is a dumb example, but a. I feel like a good example.
Just like that mullet competition in Talladega. That was a big deal that people showed up for. It was like, yeah, had a crowd, and people showed up for.
[00:47:11] Speaker D: You know what?
[00:47:13] Speaker C: I looked.
[00:47:14] Speaker B: I looked on Twitter. I mean, I looked on Facebook and I looked on Instagram.
[00:47:18] Speaker D: Not a word was said about that.
[00:47:21] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:47:22] Speaker B: All of that hype, all of that.
[00:47:24] Speaker D: Stuff came from Twitter.
[00:47:26] Speaker F: Yeah.
[00:47:26] Speaker B: You wouldn't even know that stuff was. Was around, you know, and there's so.
[00:47:30] Speaker D: Many things just as simple as when I was asking in Atlanta, when I tagged, you know, the three or four.
[00:47:41] Speaker B: People I tagged about appearance, driver appearances and stuff and what was going on in the fans on and all that.
[00:47:46] Speaker D: Boom.
[00:47:46] Speaker E: Yeah.
[00:47:47] Speaker B: I tagged a guy that I don't even know, and he responds and hits.
[00:47:49] Speaker D: Me with the whole entire schedule, which.
[00:47:52] Speaker A: Is, like, absolutely crazy that you can just get that kind of information from a NASCAR insider just by tagging them in a post on Twitter.
[00:47:59] Speaker E: Exactly.
[00:47:59] Speaker B: And you're never gonna get that on Facebook or Instagram. No chance.
[00:48:02] Speaker A: No, not at all. There's not nearly enough interaction on those fronts.
[00:48:07] Speaker E: Sorry.
[00:48:07] Speaker A: I didn't never plug my computer in.
[00:48:09] Speaker C: So now I'm starting to die, which is hilarious.
[00:48:11] Speaker A: It's just a very me problem to.
[00:48:13] Speaker C: Be having in this new house right now.
[00:48:16] Speaker B: But, yeah, NASCAR Twitter.
[00:48:18] Speaker D: NASCAR Twitter is incredible.
[00:48:21] Speaker B: I'm luckily lucky. I have been on it for almost.
[00:48:24] Speaker D: Ten years now in the NASCAR Twitter world.
[00:48:29] Speaker C: Hell, yeah.
[00:48:31] Speaker A: Moving into our betting side of things, we had a very hilarious situation pop.
[00:48:36] Speaker C: Up this week for betting. At least I did.
We were sitting on the loading dock. Was that in Brandon, Mississippi?
[00:48:45] Speaker A: Were we there by then?
[00:48:46] Speaker D: Yeah, the second show.
[00:48:48] Speaker A: Yeah, we were in Brandon, Mississippi.
[00:48:50] Speaker B: That's after, like, I made out and stuff was about to happen, and we were like, literally. I mean, that was the night before the race.
[00:48:56] Speaker C: Yeah. And we. We were sitting there talking, and I looked at Dawson and I said, what? The dumbest thing that I said all day, I think.
[00:49:07] Speaker A: I just think I hit you with that first, right?
[00:49:10] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:49:12] Speaker A: Kyle Larson finishes in the top ten every time he shows up at Dover.
[00:49:16] Speaker B: Basically, he's only finished outside the top.
[00:49:19] Speaker D: Ten three times in his whole entire career.
[00:49:21] Speaker F: Yep.
[00:49:22] Speaker A: And I just, I love making ridiculous.
[00:49:27] Speaker C: Ridiculous NASCAR statements because it's just fun for me to say stupid shit that.
[00:49:33] Speaker A: I'm not even sure it's going to.
[00:49:34] Speaker C: Work out that way.
[00:49:35] Speaker A: But you know what? It's just fun because it gives me something to watch when nobody can pass. But I said to Dawson, immediately after.
[00:49:44] Speaker C: He said that quote, I said, I.
[00:49:46] Speaker A: Bet you $20 Kyle Larson finishes outside.
[00:49:49] Speaker C: Of the top ten tomorrow.
[00:49:50] Speaker A: And he immediately took that action, which I would have, too, if somebody said.
[00:49:54] Speaker C: Something so stupid to me. But I had fun saying it because.
[00:49:58] Speaker A: At least it gave me something to watch. But the funny part of it is, the most ridiculous coincidental thing was we.
[00:50:05] Speaker C: Were, we made that bet before qualifying happened. It was earlier in the day, not.
[00:50:12] Speaker A: A loadout, because I'm just, I'm putting it together as I'm telling the story.
[00:50:17] Speaker B: For the leaving for Sunday.
[00:50:19] Speaker C: It was before qualified because I did not know yet who I was getting in the Lima, Ohio race pool.
[00:50:30] Speaker A: So Liam Stolley, one of our good buddies, came out to the show last.
[00:50:34] Speaker C: Week and told us about this betting board.
[00:50:38] Speaker A: He came with his mom and his.
[00:50:40] Speaker C: Aunts, and they have a board of.
[00:50:44] Speaker A: Every single starting position in the race. And everybody gets their name drawn out of a hat and put on there.
[00:50:50] Speaker C: Somewhere for the starting position and you get whoever qualifies for that spot.
Well, we made a $20 bet that.
[00:50:58] Speaker A: Kyle Larson would not finish in the top ten.
[00:51:01] Speaker C: That was my side of it.
[00:51:03] Speaker A: And who in the world should I get as a 21st starting driver was where my name went and they finally qualified. Who should be starting 21st but Kyle Larson? So now I need Kyle to win.
[00:51:15] Speaker C: The race, but somehow win the race.
[00:51:18] Speaker A: And finish 11th or worse. So I just had myself, I had myself double down in the worst possible way. And the worst part of it, too, was that sucker didn't even do either of them. He missed winning by one freaking spot. I was one spot or one wreck.
[00:51:34] Speaker C: Away from winning money either direction.
[00:51:37] Speaker A: I was so pissed off.
[00:51:38] Speaker C: I was like, this is so goofy.
[00:51:40] Speaker A: I swear I just put myself in a hole and then couldn't even dig.
[00:51:43] Speaker C: Myself out of it.
[00:51:44] Speaker B: That's hilarious.
[00:51:45] Speaker A: I had to. I had to share that goofy situation I put myself in.
[00:51:49] Speaker F: I just.
[00:51:50] Speaker A: Out of 36 drivers, how in the.
[00:51:52] Speaker C: World do I bet on and draw randomly the same driver?
[00:51:57] Speaker F: Yeah.
[00:51:58] Speaker E: Typical.
[00:51:59] Speaker C: Frustrating.
[00:52:00] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:52:02] Speaker A: Thank you for the.
[00:52:03] Speaker B: That was the only bet I got to place all week because some dumbass.
[00:52:09] Speaker D: Hacked my ATM card and tried to.
[00:52:13] Speaker B: Purchase $900 worth of shit off of Facebook.
[00:52:18] Speaker A: Um, why Facebook?
[00:52:21] Speaker B: I don't know.
[00:52:21] Speaker A: Facebook.
[00:52:22] Speaker B: $1090 purchases on Facebook.
And so my card gets shut down. I don't have any money in my draftkings account because I didn't win a.
[00:52:35] Speaker D: Single bet from tech Talladega, and so my car.
[00:52:41] Speaker A: A rough couple weeks, huh?
[00:52:42] Speaker E: Yeah.
[00:52:43] Speaker D: My card that's connected to my account, obviously, is.
[00:52:47] Speaker B: Is no longer. It was no longer working. And my card gets delivered after we're already on the road.
[00:52:53] Speaker D: So my cards at the house, my.
[00:52:55] Speaker B: Betting could not happen.
[00:52:57] Speaker D: So I didn't make a single bet.
[00:53:00] Speaker B: On draftkings on the race. So the only bet I placed was.
[00:53:05] Speaker D: The most profitable bet of all time.
[00:53:09] Speaker B: Betting Kyle Larson to finish in the top ten at Dover.
[00:53:11] Speaker D: So thank you for the $20.
[00:53:15] Speaker E: Yeah, you're welcome.
[00:53:15] Speaker A: I basically just shook your hand and said, yeah, I'll give you $20 for you. Didn't even ask for it, but you want it. Here's $20.
[00:53:22] Speaker E: Give it to you. Yeah.
[00:53:23] Speaker B: So that was. I'm sure Larson. Larson was my favorite part was they didn't even adjust Larson's odds to start the race. They throw Larson, they throw the odds up. They don't even adjust Larson's odds on draftkings. He was still while he is in 21st. Plus 400 to win the race and to finish top ten is like -900.
[00:53:44] Speaker D: Or a thousand or something.
So it's just that guaranteed for Kyle Larson to be top ten, according to the books.
[00:53:53] Speaker C: Yeah, it's very true.
[00:53:56] Speaker A: I did win a few bets, but I wildly broke even somehow. I bet Noah Gregson top ten.
[00:54:02] Speaker C: Got that one.
[00:54:03] Speaker D: What were those odds, do you know?
[00:54:06] Speaker A: Plus 150.
[00:54:08] Speaker B: Plus 150.
[00:54:09] Speaker A: No, top ten.
[00:54:11] Speaker B: Plus more than that.
[00:54:12] Speaker C: Honestly, I thought it might have been.
[00:54:14] Speaker A: But, hey, I'll take it.
[00:54:16] Speaker C: I'll take a win where I can get a win.
[00:54:18] Speaker A: Had a two pick parlay where Gibbs beat Christopher Bell because the c bell.
[00:54:22] Speaker C: Hate train rolls on strong.
[00:54:24] Speaker A: Two wrecks in one weekend. That's a pretty solid weekend for DNS.
[00:54:27] Speaker B: In a row, too.
[00:54:29] Speaker C: Yeah, man.
[00:54:30] Speaker E: If you're.
[00:54:31] Speaker A: If you're a Christopher Bell fan or.
[00:54:33] Speaker C: A Christopher Bell fan, please hit me.
[00:54:36] Speaker A: Up on Twitter and tell me why I'm an idiot for not supporting him. Is it really just because he doesn't lead laps, or is he really as.
[00:54:43] Speaker C: Good as y'all think he is? I don't know, but that head.
[00:54:47] Speaker A: Heads up parlay was Ty Gibbs beats Christopher Bell, Martin Truex beats William Byron.
[00:54:52] Speaker C: And a wreck.
[00:54:52] Speaker A: One wreck won me that.
[00:54:54] Speaker C: Race won me that.
[00:54:56] Speaker B: Yep, because they both got losers, got.
[00:54:58] Speaker A: Knocked out in the same one. And then I had a Denny Hamlin top five. Bet that was a plus 100.
[00:55:03] Speaker C: Just even money. Just double it. Double it and give it to the next person.
But that's where we landed on all that.
[00:55:11] Speaker A: I ended up breaking even with those three. I had three others that did not hit.
[00:55:15] Speaker D: So you definitely didn't break even though.
[00:55:19] Speaker B: Because you had to pay me $20.
[00:55:21] Speaker A: Because in that case I lost $20 over the weekend. You're definitely drafting account does not reflect that. That was just a Venmo send. I was just paying you for pizza, man. As far as anybody knows, I just.
[00:55:34] Speaker C: Paid you for pizza.
[00:55:35] Speaker B: You paid for our dinner yesterday. Because our dinner costed like $23.
[00:55:39] Speaker C: Damn. So you only drank water then?
[00:55:42] Speaker D: Nope, I already had beer here. And thanks to Liam, I also had some crown royal.
[00:55:46] Speaker F: Dang.
[00:55:47] Speaker A: There you go.
[00:55:48] Speaker B: Yeah, we made some chicken bacon yesterday.
[00:55:53] Speaker E: Dang.
[00:55:54] Speaker A: Rowdy race day meals coming at you hard.
[00:55:58] Speaker B: Yeah, I'm gonna hack the week.
[00:56:01] Speaker A: So coming into Kansas, hit a hack of the week. All right, all right, all right, all right. You're right.
[00:56:07] Speaker D: Hack of a week.
[00:56:10] Speaker B: Ah, I already know exactly what I'm thinking too.
[00:56:13] Speaker C: I'll let you go first though, for it.
Damn. Why?
[00:56:20] Speaker B: What is he do thinking? What is Alex Bowman thinking? Hollering at his spotter on the radio, telling the five to pull over for him to win the stage.
[00:56:30] Speaker D: And his spotter is like, what the.
[00:56:33] Speaker B: Basically, like, what the fuck do you mean? Like, you have to go earn it. And Alex says, just shut the fuck.
[00:56:39] Speaker D: Up and let me drive the car, Kevin.
[00:56:43] Speaker A: So yeah, in the moment he did. He did.
[00:56:47] Speaker C: Very heated race radios. Let's go.
[00:56:50] Speaker B: Is Alex Bowman. I mean, just be like, I've never seen that from Bowman.
[00:56:54] Speaker D: Just being a little whiny sissy boy.
[00:56:56] Speaker B: There, like, go up and earn it, dog.
[00:56:59] Speaker D: No one is supposed to pull over for you.
[00:57:02] Speaker B: He must have learned that from Martin. True.
[00:57:04] Speaker A: I've missed that.
I missed the context of it. I did see the quote come through and I didn't ever say get to see the context of it if he was close to being on that.
[00:57:14] Speaker B: Let me also give an honorable mention because.
Because I could give Fox hack of.
[00:57:21] Speaker D: The week every single week if I wanted to.
[00:57:26] Speaker C: Oh, easily.
[00:57:27] Speaker A: This was definitely a good example of it.
[00:57:29] Speaker B: Fox sucks so bad that they show a replay of the wreck with the one Byron and Bell and Bubba and all that.
[00:57:40] Speaker D: And.
[00:57:40] Speaker B: Yeah, and they can't even get a close enough camera view to tell who is into Bubba Wallace.
[00:57:49] Speaker A: Oh, and I, I was also laughing my tail off because I was watching this morning when that wreck happened, and I was like, that was the movie.
[00:57:56] Speaker C: I wasn't even drinking. And I've never been more confused because.
[00:57:59] Speaker A: They kept calling Byron Bowman, they kept calling somebody else Byron. And multiple times, four replays of the red. Yeah, they could.
[00:58:08] Speaker D: Byron was the one on the outside wall.
[00:58:11] Speaker A: Okay, but that's still. And it was just names getting thrown around and people getting mixed up and this and that. Nobody has any clue what's going on. And I was like, I'm just so confused. All I know is that some still.
[00:58:22] Speaker B: Not even why I want to give an honorable mention. The second reason I can give them honorable mention that still not the main one is they are literally talking. This happened twice during the race. They're talking about something that's happening in the tv screen. Once was about a driver, and once Kevin Harvick's trying to talk about the line of the track immediately. As soon as they start talking about.
[00:58:41] Speaker D: It, boom, different shot. And they're just like, Harvick's drawn stuff on the screen.
[00:58:45] Speaker B: Now we got looking at something else.
[00:58:47] Speaker D: And just got yellow markings on the screen.
[00:58:50] Speaker E: Okay.
[00:58:51] Speaker C: The main reason, though, and Clint Boyer.
[00:58:54] Speaker A: And I, Kevin Hart.
[00:58:56] Speaker B: Oh, God, I feel like you're going.
[00:58:58] Speaker A: Where I'm trying to go.
[00:58:59] Speaker B: The whole dynamic of that. Everybody seems to love it. I do not love it. It is just like they're just joking around and they make fun of Boyer, which I'm all for making fun of.
[00:59:08] Speaker D: Boyer because he did not have a great racing career.
[00:59:12] Speaker B: I don't know how he stayed relevant so long.
[00:59:16] Speaker D: Um, yeah.
[00:59:18] Speaker E: Being.
[00:59:19] Speaker B: I'm just, a lot of people seem to love that. I'm not actually having a personality, me personally.
[00:59:24] Speaker D: But the main reason they're getting, you.
[00:59:28] Speaker A: Have to have at least eight NASCAR wins before Dawson even considers you a NASCAR driver.
[00:59:33] Speaker D: Yes, probably.
[00:59:34] Speaker B: Um, the main reason is, okay, so now radio transmission since the beginning of.
[00:59:41] Speaker D: Time to now they show it on the damn rate.
[00:59:45] Speaker B: They show it. They've been showing spotters and crew chiefs and drivers talking to each other since the beginning of time, since that technology came available.
[00:59:52] Speaker F: Okay.
[00:59:53] Speaker D: You never have ever been able to.
[00:59:56] Speaker B: Understand a single word that they say because it's so, you know, it just sounds like horseshit.
[01:00:03] Speaker F: Okay.
[01:00:04] Speaker B: Fox has implemented this thing where they give you a box on the bottom.
[01:00:08] Speaker D: Of the screen and it's like, you know, says what they're saying, okay, great invention.
[01:00:14] Speaker C: Who, the nation.
[01:00:15] Speaker B: This stuff, this stuff they show happens probably 20 minutes before it actually comes on the thing. Because I read on Twitter, they'll show.
[01:00:21] Speaker D: Up, they'll show something that happened and.
[01:00:24] Speaker B: Then Fox, which is fine, but they.
[01:00:25] Speaker D: Show it, you know, 2030 minutes later.
[01:00:29] Speaker F: Okay.
[01:00:29] Speaker B: Why are they not proofreading? Because it's definitely some kind of AI thing where it just generates what they think it say.
[01:00:35] Speaker A: Oh, it's definitely a shit that they.
[01:00:38] Speaker D: Post in the quote is not what they're saying.
[01:00:41] Speaker C: And then they just post it.
[01:00:43] Speaker E: Yeah.
[01:00:43] Speaker A: It's, even though I can't understand it.
[01:00:45] Speaker B: I know, because you read it, it doesn't make sense. And it's, it's just like different where it's like watching a TikTok video where someone has the captions going across and the AI's trying to pick up on.
[01:00:54] Speaker D: There, you know, and the captions are.
[01:00:57] Speaker B: How they pronounce words and this, that and other and whatever.
[01:01:00] Speaker D: They're posting that on the damn screen.
That is ridiculous.
[01:01:05] Speaker E: They do.
[01:01:05] Speaker A: It is kind of supposed to be a profusion.
[01:01:07] Speaker D: It is funny broadcast and it's not.
[01:01:12] Speaker C: It's a broadcast.
[01:01:13] Speaker B: I could broadcast the fucking race better.
[01:01:15] Speaker D: From my living room.
[01:01:19] Speaker A: Yeah, it's definitely fun. It's, it's definitely funny to watch some of the things they're trying.
[01:01:24] Speaker C: They're trying so damn hard and they're.
[01:01:26] Speaker A: Just not trying enough there. It's like they're trying to do too many things that they're not even getting.
[01:01:31] Speaker C: The one thing they're supposed to be doing right. But I do like the honorable mention of Fox.
[01:01:36] Speaker A: Fox, you're always our honorable be every week.
[01:01:39] Speaker C: If our, if the person we asked.
[01:01:41] Speaker A: If the, if you know what hack of the week's like asking out prom dates if the first one doesn't happen. Well, I know that I can always count on Fox to be there for me to fill in.
[01:01:53] Speaker C: But, so my.
[01:01:55] Speaker A: Hack of the week is also spotter related. And it was more of just like.
[01:01:59] Speaker C: A funny moment than anything. But I laughed so freaking hard. I laughed so hard when Ricky, when Ricky Stenhouse tried to blend up onto.
[01:02:14] Speaker A: The racetrack in the middle of turn.
[01:02:16] Speaker C: Two, just definitely tried to blend way too early, hits the four on his way up, the four hits him on the way down.
[01:02:26] Speaker A: And that causes Stenhouse to spin out and do what NASCAR chasm, hilariously called.
[01:02:33] Speaker C: The sad pancake down the side of the inside wall.
[01:02:38] Speaker A: And the spotter comes over the radio.
[01:02:41] Speaker C: And hollers, the four just ran right over us. And I'm just like, man, are you.
[01:02:48] Speaker A: Spotting the concrete on Dover? Because the four was supposed to run right over you. That's where the line is in the middle of turns one and two. Stenhouse definitely was supposed to stay down on the apron.
[01:03:00] Speaker C: Just another hair longer and he came up early and you got the spotter.
[01:03:04] Speaker A: Just hollering, Josh Barry ran us off.
[01:03:06] Speaker C: The racetrack, wrecked us.
[01:03:08] Speaker A: I'm like, nah, dog, I think you just ran out of apron there and you're trying too hard to get back.
[01:03:13] Speaker C: Up onto the racetrack.
[01:03:14] Speaker A: But that just, it made me laugh so hard whenever he hollered that Ford just ran us over. It's like, yeah, when you're going 15 miles an hour too slow in a.
[01:03:21] Speaker C: Corner, that's kind of going to happen.
[01:03:23] Speaker B: I want to another honorable mention.
[01:03:25] Speaker E: That was my hack of the week.
[01:03:27] Speaker B: The the bar stool rubbing is racing podcast.
[01:03:33] Speaker C: I have not seen them.
[01:03:34] Speaker D: What they do, they're fine.
[01:03:36] Speaker B: And I enjoy that they're getting like.
[01:03:38] Speaker D: That style of people into racing and all.
[01:03:41] Speaker B: But, like, the guys that are on.
[01:03:42] Speaker D: There, I don't really know if they're.
[01:03:45] Speaker B: Like big racing guys, you know, whatever. I don't really know.
[01:03:47] Speaker D: I don't know anything about them, really.
[01:03:50] Speaker B: But they got a bunch of heat a few weeks ago because they didn't.
[01:03:53] Speaker D: Know who Bubba Pollard was. Naturally, NASCAR fans freak out about things like that and they're just like, well, forgive us.
[01:04:02] Speaker B: Like, we don't know. Like, I didn't. How am I supposed to know who that is? And then, you know, in the NASCAR world, it's like, well, you know, he just happens to be like, one of the greatest short track racers of our generation.
[01:04:11] Speaker D: So it's just like, obviously you should know who that is. And I do. I do think, like, you know, you.
[01:04:18] Speaker B: Should know who Bubba Pollard is.
[01:04:20] Speaker D: Like, I get if you don't know, like, everybody.
[01:04:22] Speaker B: But, like, the guy that wins, you know, has won everything in every, you know, crown jewel event from California to maine to Texas to North Dakota.
[01:04:32] Speaker D: Like, you should probably know that guy, you know?
[01:04:36] Speaker A: Anyways, I thought that was hilarious.
[01:04:37] Speaker B: They got a bunch of heat for that. But then they posted on their page this weekend, it's Kevin Hamlin, who is.
[01:04:45] Speaker D: Bowman's spotter, is going over and talking to another spotter about like.
[01:04:53] Speaker E: The five. Yeah.
[01:04:54] Speaker B: But was so pissed off at his driver Bowman for like, just whining like that on the radio. He was just over there venting to the other guy. The other guy is clearly, like laughing his ass off. Like, thanks, it's hilarious.
[01:05:07] Speaker D: And they post it's a clip from.
[01:05:09] Speaker B: The race, but their podcast post, we need to show more spotter beef.
[01:05:14] Speaker D: And it's like, I retweeted, I was.
[01:05:16] Speaker B: Like, these spotters aren't beefing these. This spotter is telling the spotter a story and this spotter is laughing.
[01:05:23] Speaker A: There is spotter driver beef going on.
[01:05:26] Speaker B: That spotter is venting to this other.
[01:05:28] Speaker D: Spotter and I was like, that.
[01:05:30] Speaker B: That's not beef. The beef is between the driver and the spotter, not these two spotters specifically.
[01:05:35] Speaker F: So.
[01:05:36] Speaker D: Also thought that was kind of goofy. Well, that is funny.
[01:05:41] Speaker A: I do have one last week. I guess maybe this should have been.
[01:05:46] Speaker C: Maybe this should have been my hack of the week.
I don't know.
[01:05:50] Speaker A: Let's, let's send it to Twitter. If you made it this far in.
[01:05:53] Speaker C: The episode, tell me, should I have.
[01:05:55] Speaker A: Stuck with Tad Boyd or should I stick with Dawson Edwards as my hat week?
[01:06:00] Speaker F: What?
[01:06:01] Speaker C: I do? Yeah, cuz we got it. We got text message a couple nights ago from your sister and you're losing your fantasy dog.
[01:06:12] Speaker E: Yeah.
[01:06:12] Speaker D: What's going on, Megan?
[01:06:14] Speaker B: She text me and Dawson whooping our.
[01:06:16] Speaker A: Ass and said, hey, I'm one of your seven. Listen, one of your seven listeners is over here whooping on one of the co hosts ass. What's going on, dog?
[01:06:25] Speaker E: Give us.
[01:06:25] Speaker A: Give us a loadout.
[01:06:27] Speaker D: Meg.
[01:06:27] Speaker A: What are you, what are you doing?
[01:06:28] Speaker C: What are you not doing?
[01:06:30] Speaker D: Drivers on.
[01:06:31] Speaker B: You know what I think is going.
[01:06:32] Speaker D: To happen, which is also what I do with betting as well. Megan is very good and there's all kind of things on this app where you can like, look at their statistics.
[01:06:45] Speaker B: And it tells you how they do and all this stuff. Well, Megan goes through and picks the absolute best, statistically best drivers at each.
[01:06:53] Speaker D: Racetrack and she's kicking my ass by doing that. So she uses the real numbers and I just use my dumb ass brain.
[01:07:02] Speaker A: You vote with your heart, she votes with her hands.
[01:07:06] Speaker B: She's beat me every single week but one. I beat her the very first week and then after that, she's kicked my ass every week.
[01:07:13] Speaker F: So.
[01:07:14] Speaker A: So what we're saying is if y'all started a race team, she's picking the drivers and you're running PR.
[01:07:19] Speaker B: Oh, God. I don't know if you want me running PR unless you want drunken f words and cussing everybody out on the Internet.
[01:07:25] Speaker C: So that's, hey, just like Dale junior said.
[01:07:29] Speaker E: Yeah.
[01:07:30] Speaker C: Drinking beer and smoking cigarettes, man. Yeah, that's what I want.
[01:07:33] Speaker B: Maybe that's what I need. PR team.
[01:07:34] Speaker D: I don't know.
[01:07:37] Speaker C: I think they would love it.
[01:07:39] Speaker A: There's at least seven people that already love it.
[01:07:41] Speaker C: Randy Adams loves it, which he had.
[01:07:44] Speaker A: A great take on the race. I saw you.
[01:07:45] Speaker E: Yeah.
[01:07:45] Speaker A: Talking with him.
[01:07:46] Speaker B: Randy's usually got a good level headed.
[01:07:47] Speaker D: Opinion on things, so.
[01:07:51] Speaker F: Yeah.
[01:07:51] Speaker D: And 99% of the time are all of our opinions align.
We just probably say it not level headed way, but Randy always has a.
[01:08:02] Speaker B: Good level headed take. So I wanted to see what Randy's.
Randy's take was on spotters and the race yesterday because that was when all the spotter talk was going on on the.
[01:08:12] Speaker D: On the Internet. And, yeah, I am one for.
[01:08:15] Speaker B: I think spotters are very, very important because you already see guys like Zane Smith just fucking plow in the fucking people ten minutes after a wrecks over.
[01:08:24] Speaker D: Imagine what Zane Smith would do without a spotter. So that's all you have to think.
[01:08:29] Speaker B: About when you think about spotters on the stand.
[01:08:31] Speaker D: So, you know, we've.
[01:08:33] Speaker B: And we've already, like, when they have a. When they. When these guys are trying to get.
[01:08:38] Speaker D: Lined up and, you know, just even.
[01:08:40] Speaker B: Get lined up for a damn restart, like, imagine that's already chaotic.
[01:08:44] Speaker D: Now imagine that happening without a spotter, you know? So, yeah, I personally think Landon Castle makes.
[01:08:52] Speaker B: He also has a very successful racing podcast, and I think that he makes those sort of posts literally for clicks.
[01:08:59] Speaker D: And to get reactions because he has.
[01:09:01] Speaker B: A platform to do that.
When I post my opinions and reactions, I get zero likes, zero views.
[01:09:10] Speaker D: I like me and Caleb like each other's tweets on Twitter. Uh, that's about.
[01:09:18] Speaker B: We fired up that one dude from Ty Gibbs, uh, the 54 updates guy.
[01:09:23] Speaker F: He.
[01:09:23] Speaker B: Yeah, he doesn't like us.
[01:09:24] Speaker D: We don't like him. Uh, it's fine.
[01:09:30] Speaker B: But, yeah, I definitely think that pose was straight up just to get people riled up. And that's, who knows if that's what he believes or doesn't believe.
[01:09:38] Speaker D: But it naturally, naturally got attention and it got attention fast.
[01:09:44] Speaker B: And especially after the race was over and all the spotters and drivers and.
[01:09:48] Speaker D: Everybody got involved, it got even more attention fast. So anyway, so I was just asking.
[01:09:55] Speaker B: Randy, you know, what he thought about.
[01:09:59] Speaker D: About that. And also, I want to throw in on the.
[01:10:05] Speaker B: On the NASCAR fantasy thing.
[01:10:06] Speaker D: So it's me, Megan, who's winning, and mom.
And mom is not doing a good job.
[01:10:16] Speaker C: Dang, Brandy, where yet?
[01:10:18] Speaker A: And Lindsay, come on.
[01:10:19] Speaker F: Now.
[01:10:20] Speaker A: I know I said Austin Dillon was going to do good.
[01:10:22] Speaker B: I met that Lindsey not know how.
[01:10:24] Speaker A: To pick up one time.
[01:10:24] Speaker B: She picked her lineup the first week, and it's just been the same lineup ever since. So those guys are just hanging on by a thread.
[01:10:32] Speaker A: She's that one person in the fantasy league.
One person in the fantasy league never updates their team. So they got five people and a bunch of people.
[01:10:42] Speaker B: Mom says she listens to the podcast.
[01:10:44] Speaker D: To obviously enjoys the podcast, but she. We help her picking who.
[01:10:51] Speaker B: Who's going to run good the next following week. So let's do real quick, you know, hour and ten minutes into this, who.
[01:10:59] Speaker A: Is going to run? How many people did she get to pick?
[01:11:02] Speaker D: Five people total.
[01:11:04] Speaker E: Five total.
[01:11:05] Speaker C: Garage driver or is that with the garage driver?
[01:11:08] Speaker E: So six.
[01:11:08] Speaker B: I technically four. Right off the rip. Who would be who?
[01:11:11] Speaker D: We're going to be in mine.
[01:11:15] Speaker C: Oh, hell yeah.
[01:11:16] Speaker B: I could give you priority. We being at Kansas, I can 100, almost 100% guarantee we can name the.
[01:11:23] Speaker D: Same four drivers simultaneously.
[01:11:28] Speaker B: You're going to have both 20, 311.
[01:11:30] Speaker D: Guys because they kick ass here. You're going to have Denny Hamlin because.
[01:11:34] Speaker B: He'S won two of the last three here. And you're going to have Kyle Larson, who's won the other two.
[01:11:38] Speaker C: Uh huh.
[01:11:39] Speaker D: Those are your four right off the rip.
[01:11:43] Speaker F: Yeah.
[01:11:44] Speaker A: And I would say if you're looking for your tier two, you're looking at.
[01:11:47] Speaker C: A blaney, a Byron truex.
[01:11:53] Speaker A: Mean, your typical. Your typical runners right there.
[01:11:56] Speaker B: I would.
[01:11:57] Speaker A: That would be my garage drivers.
[01:11:58] Speaker B: I would hold them and I would pick your.
I think I'm gonna.
[01:12:04] Speaker E: If.
[01:12:04] Speaker B: I think I would pick another toyota, maybe a true x or something.
[01:12:08] Speaker D: I think if.
[01:12:09] Speaker C: Yeah, Truex.
[01:12:11] Speaker B: I mean, it's hard to go wrong with Byron cuz I mean, Byron's just.
[01:12:15] Speaker D: Fast every single week, you know, I mean, he's.
[01:12:18] Speaker C: Yeah, I would honestly, you know, I'd.
[01:12:20] Speaker A: Probably put Wallace in my garage because I feel like bubble. Wallace either runs extremely well or he doesn't run well.
[01:12:28] Speaker B: This is their chance.
[01:12:29] Speaker A: He's just inconsistent.
[01:12:30] Speaker E: This is for me.
[01:12:30] Speaker B: You can only use each driver ten times, so you're not going to put. But you're going to put Bubba Wallace in on plate tracks in Kansas.
[01:12:35] Speaker D: So this is your opportunity to put Bubba bubba.
[01:12:38] Speaker A: I guess that makes sense.
[01:12:39] Speaker F: Yeah.
[01:12:41] Speaker A: Well, once you throw that wrench in the machine. Yeah, that definitely changes things a little bit. I could definitely.
[01:12:46] Speaker B: Mom, when you get to this point.
[01:12:48] Speaker D: Well, that's here we got Larson, Bubba Reddick, and then pick either a Hendrick driver, Gibbs driver for the fifth and 6th.
[01:12:58] Speaker C: Yeah.
And I'm going to vote with my.
[01:13:01] Speaker A: Heart and say, put Blaney in there. But that's just, uh, that's me being.
[01:13:04] Speaker B: Hope, man, Ford's just ain't doing well.
[01:13:06] Speaker F: But.
[01:13:09] Speaker C: No, they're not. We'll get there.
[01:13:11] Speaker A: We'll get there.
[01:13:11] Speaker C: Don't you worry.
[01:13:12] Speaker A: We always show up at the end.
[01:13:14] Speaker C: It's not close to the end yet.
[01:13:16] Speaker A: Once the playoffs come around, we'll start whooping some ass.
[01:13:19] Speaker F: It's fine.
[01:13:21] Speaker C: It's what I'm hoping for, at least.
But either way, I think that's about all we got, ain't it?
Yeah, we got.
[01:13:31] Speaker A: We got an off week coming up this week, so I know we're going to Indiana. We're going to spend some time down there.
[01:13:36] Speaker C: It's Allison's brothers 21st, so heading up.
[01:13:40] Speaker A: That direction this weekend and should be.
[01:13:43] Speaker C: Back in time for now.
[01:13:44] Speaker A: Y'all are going to Key west? Oh, we're gonna have to figure out when we're doing damn podcast next week.
[01:13:48] Speaker B: I come back on Sunday.
[01:13:50] Speaker E: You're gonna be. Yeah. There you go.
[01:13:52] Speaker A: You're gonna be sunburned, and I'm gonna be freezer burn.
[01:13:54] Speaker B: Yeah.
Apparently Allison's hometowns like the coldest place.
[01:13:58] Speaker D: In America for some reason.
[01:14:01] Speaker A: It really is. I'm telling you, it's never. Not winter there. I'm sure I'm gonna go there and need a sweatshirt this weekend, even though it's almost maybe. And it's going to be made by.
[01:14:08] Speaker D: The time we get there.
[01:14:09] Speaker B: I also looked at the weather.
[01:14:11] Speaker C: Just ain't it.
[01:14:12] Speaker A: Texas boy can't handle it.
[01:14:13] Speaker B: The weather for Key west, it's normally.
[01:14:15] Speaker D: Just hotter than absolute shit in Key west.
The weather.
[01:14:20] Speaker E: Yeah.
[01:14:21] Speaker B: Uh, for every day we're there, we are there. The literally every single day is the.
[01:14:25] Speaker D: Lowest, 76 and the highest 79.
[01:14:31] Speaker F: Dang.
[01:14:32] Speaker A: It's just never going to the whole time.
[01:14:33] Speaker D: And I'm just like, wow, I'm so pumped.
[01:14:36] Speaker C: That's awesome.
[01:14:38] Speaker B: Yeah, we leave to Wednesday.
[01:14:43] Speaker C: Wednesdays from now.
[01:14:46] Speaker F: Gotcha. Heck, yeah.
[01:14:48] Speaker C: Well, have fun down there, dog.
[01:14:52] Speaker A: Make sure that when you walk into that bar slash strip club, you make that.
[01:14:57] Speaker B: We saw Raleigh Green is no longer a thing.
[01:15:01] Speaker C: Well, if they.
[01:15:02] Speaker A: If you walk into somewhere and they hand you a plastic sack, you probably don't want to be there for very long. So make sure you turn around.
[01:15:08] Speaker B: Yes.
[01:15:09] Speaker A: And find you a chair to walk.
[01:15:15] Speaker C: Well, that's just. I mean, not with that attitude.
[01:15:19] Speaker B: The first time I met Morgan Wallen was in Key west on my 22nd birthday.
And it was one of just the.
[01:15:28] Speaker D: Wildest times ever because I was signed at BMG. And some people there are involved in.
[01:15:36] Speaker B: Morgan Wallace camp, and Cole Swindell was there.
[01:15:39] Speaker E: And those are not.
[01:15:40] Speaker B: I met Mark Orriot, and yeah, so.
[01:15:46] Speaker A: That.
[01:15:48] Speaker B: I got to do. I got to do green tea shots with Cole Swindell. I saw Morgan Wallen throw a chair.
[01:15:54] Speaker D: Down on the ground, and mark and.
[01:15:58] Speaker B: Mark or machine and spill all. Everywhere. That all happened on my 22nd birthday.
And it was the first time I ever shook hands, met Marco in my life. And that was, you know, six, seven years ago. Whatever. And.
[01:16:13] Speaker A: And absolutely nothing's changed about any one of these stories. You're still only taking green tea shots. If you're taking any shots at all. Cole Swindell, I know, is still taking green tea shots. Morgan Wallin.
[01:16:26] Speaker D: Shit over.
[01:16:26] Speaker A: We love you to death, man.
[01:16:28] Speaker C: But I could definitely see you knocking.
[01:16:30] Speaker A: Over a popcorn machine at any point. There's one in live oak. It better watch out. At some point, this horizontal.
[01:16:37] Speaker B: And I know we're getting long here, but we didn't have a podcast last.
[01:16:39] Speaker D: Week, and this is.
[01:16:40] Speaker B: This is just great story. So, yeah, so Key west, no one.
[01:16:45] Speaker D: In sober at all. And it was late, late at night.
[01:16:50] Speaker B: And Mark is trying to fire the popcorn machine up. And the owner of the bar has already told Mark to not fire this popcorn machine up.
[01:16:59] Speaker D: Mark does not listen. And Mark is drunk and trying to get this motherfucker to work. And somehow in trying to get it.
[01:17:08] Speaker B: To work, he knocks it completely over in all and all kind of shit.
[01:17:13] Speaker D: Just went all over the ground.
And it.
[01:17:18] Speaker A: He turned it into Jason.
[01:17:19] Speaker B: It was just.
[01:17:21] Speaker A: I just.
[01:17:22] Speaker B: That was the day we roll into Key west. That was the first time I was ever in Key west that my birthday and all that stuff is happening.
[01:17:30] Speaker D: And I was just like, wow, this is crazy.
[01:17:34] Speaker B: I also saw a lady leaving, leaving the bar that night. She gets on her scooter, she's sitting.
[01:17:39] Speaker D: At the red light.
[01:17:40] Speaker B: She is so hammered, she falls over.
[01:17:43] Speaker D: In the middle of the road.
[01:17:44] Speaker B: A police comes out, walks over to.
[01:17:46] Speaker D: Her and helps her stand upright and.
[01:17:50] Speaker B: Follows her home and helps her get home. She does not get a DUI or nothing. She just literally falls into the road.
[01:17:55] Speaker D: And they just help her on her way.
[01:17:59] Speaker A: I feel like at that point, if they were going to pull over every drunk person on a scooter that couldn't stand up, they'd probably have.
[01:18:06] Speaker B: Yeah, not very big, considering the islands only like 2 miles wide and 4 miles long.
[01:18:13] Speaker C: So, uh, yeah, yeah, that was my first ever.
[01:18:17] Speaker B: First ever experience in key west was that exact story.
[01:18:22] Speaker C: So you're still going?
[01:18:24] Speaker B: My third time going.
[01:18:25] Speaker A: So it just was so unforgettable. You gotta redo it. I just got to do it again.
[01:18:30] Speaker B: I'm awesome.
[01:18:32] Speaker D: So we're gonna go hang out and watch my play.
[01:18:39] Speaker C: We'll live it up.
[01:18:40] Speaker A: Think we're gonna do a little fishing this weekend. Just going for some bluegill. Hoping, God, we get some this time.
[01:18:45] Speaker C: Every time we go, it's always season, so hope that.
[01:18:49] Speaker A: Yeah, we're hoping that we get it this time. Yeah, it's too cold.
[01:18:51] Speaker C: And then the one week it's warm, we're somewhere else.
[01:18:55] Speaker A: But either way, we're gonna try to have a good time.
[01:18:58] Speaker E: Y'all.

[01:19:10] Speaker A: I'll make $20 bets as long as.
[01:19:12] Speaker C: It'S against Dawson's favorite driver.
[01:19:14] Speaker A: So make sure you send me any Eric Amarola or Austin Dillman bets that you have for me, and I will be sure good about sending us some.
[01:19:22] Speaker C: Crock pot recipes for this and crock pot recipes.
[01:19:26] Speaker A: Cream cheese is definitely a winner in the Edwards household.
Hopefully Lindsey is a big fan of.
[01:19:33] Speaker C: Cream cheese as well because that's all you're going to get from here on out.
But mixer and follow raised rowdy racing.

[01:20:16] Speaker C: Let's see how our predictions hold up.
[01:20:19] Speaker A: And I'll come up with another $20 bet for you, Dawson, by the end of the week.
[01:20:23] Speaker C: I'm missing it.
[01:20:24] Speaker A: Maybe double or nothing.
[01:20:26] Speaker C: Double or nothing.
[01:20:27] Speaker A: Larson finished in top ten.
[01:20:29] Speaker C: Hey, Kansas.
[01:20:30] Speaker A: That could be just an outrageous enough race.
[01:20:32] Speaker B: Unless any Hamlin puts him in the.
[01:20:33] Speaker D: Wall again like he did last year.
[01:20:37] Speaker C: It'S.
[01:20:37] Speaker A: It's definitely possible. I could see it happen in the pickleball court. Going to be heated up by the end of the.
[01:20:43] Speaker E: By the end of the weekend.
[01:20:43] Speaker C: So, anyway, appreciate y'all making it this.
