of Dirty Mo Media. Outside, door, bumper, clear the 18th. Best car I had here in a long time. You're going to do it. You're going to win it. Right with you. You're clear. Check the flag.

You're win. Hey, everybody. I'm T.J. Majors. A spotter of the 22 cup car. I didn't have an expedited car for a while, and I didn't do the truck either. So I'm... White weekend. Yeah.

Dude, it's like you're on vacation every week now that you're not doing Dell Jr. Spend more time at the bar, right? You just did one race? I mean, yeah, I wanted to, I kind of wanted to do the Xfinney race because it looked fun. I wouldn't go that far. Well, it was exciting. But yeah. Yeah, it was pretty exciting.

Better than. More exciting than Cup? Well, I guess not for you. I thought the Cut race was awesome. Why is that? I don't know. Brett Griffin, Spiter, Clint Boyer, Elliott Sadler, Mike Snyder. and thanks to OneMay Financial for bringing this lovely podcast to you guys.

Might look like you missed you. That's what I heard, man. I went to and grab some beers and dinner and come back and he's gone. It wasn't on TV. They didn't have that channel where I was at, which is unfortunate. So I was having to follow along on the Twitter. Yeah. And via text from some buddies.

But yeah, I guess he got in a wreck. Yeah, with my guy. Oh, it was your guy? Yeah. What an idiot? What was your guy doing? What was your guy doing? You can only run a guy so low.

Have you not seen it? I didn't see it, no. I think they ran out of racetrack. I think Maya was trying to block, and Dalton didn't lift. So you wrecked him. So your guy, wrecked my guy. So I'm out of you right now. So the best part, the best part is when you got hooked to the left, you clobbered Jennifer

Joe God. Bless her heart. Oh, geez. What gear was she in? Second. I might watch the 10, they're saving fuel on the bottom. They think this is going to be a long run. It's going to be a fuel race.

Yeah. Every week. Yeah. Right in the fucking way. Like never, not in the way. Okay. Let's just park right here in the middle of the groove and just ride. Well, I don't know if that was their plan. I will say, though, there's worse than, I mean, she's pretty good about getting on the line and staying there.

At least she's not in the groove on the exit. Like, when two people are racing and you need the lanes on exit, she's not parked in the groove where the first guy has to lift and screws him over. I will say that, I mean, I think she does a fairly good job. She does a good job of holding her lane. The problem is she's in the wrong lane. It's like getting on the interstate and you run up on a car in a fast lane doing 40. Yeah, I still feel like there's a great job of running 40, but they're still in the way.

Yeah, we got a few guys in the Cubs series that are still like that. A few. Yeah. I feel like y'all started ranting right at the intro. This is pretty impressive. Start with the rant. What's your rant? Where are you been?

Casey, welcome back. Thanks, guys. From your like three-week vacation. How was your midget convention? Yeah. That sounds horrible. It was great. You were the tallest one there.

I was not the tallest one there. No, I'm just kidding. It was debatable. Midget racing. Oh, Midget racing. Chad won. I saw that. Congratulations to Chad.

I finally. I honestly, I honestly, I thought I was a jinx because I've never been there for a win. So I'm glad I got that off my back. That's cool. So will you think you're the good luck charm now? I wouldn't go that bar. But I'd like to think that.

So you won and then you went where to Kokomo? Went and ran an extra race that wasn't really planned or what? It was six races in seven days. Wow. You almost sound like country right there. Six races. You did. I think I'm hanging out with easy.

It was six races and seven days. God. No way. So that's crazy. That was six races and the only one won? Well, he got third and then two of them, three of them rained out. It was rough for weather. So let me ask you this.

You're standing there, sitting there, and he's racing. Yeah. Are you freaked out? Oh, yeah. Who are there, like, what other girlfriends are your wives do you hang out with? I thought you're sitting around to ask yourself for the house. Like, are your insides quivering? Are you?

Yes, I get, I don't know why. I get so nervous. It's also like, I mean, it's dangerous. Because he races dangerous cars. It's a midget, though. I mean, it's not the most dangerous thing. It's pretty damn close. What would you say it's the most dangerous?

I'd probably say if like a USAT car or something and a big track, like a mile or something, probably be. No, I mean like Silver Crown car. Oh, silver crown. Not a midget. Whatever. I think it's pretty dangerous. I agree. That guy's crazy.

Yeah. I don't mind the midgets that much. I think midgets are pretty fun. Last year he, I mean, to the point where he wrecked, apparently he wrecked, he flipped 15 times. So at a point where Justin Allgaier, like,

next time I saw him was like, do the, is Chad okay? Like, I had no idea it was that bad. So they're dangerous.

At least in my eyes, they're dangerous. I'm not saying they're dangerous. Yeah. Well, and when you like see them work so hard,

you want to win, and then you really want your victory lane picture. So it's like a lot because it plays a factor. And we brought a dog. There's no pit box. There's no pit box.

We saw on the same. So when are you nervous? The whole time or when he's passing cars or when are you nervous? It depends. What do you do? You know, like, what's that indie?

We'll see Will Powers' wife, like, chewed up, like, three, four water bottles or something? Really? During the Indy 500. Like, what, what does she have? I don't know. Plastic. I don't know what she has, but I hope they have medicine for that. Who chews on a fucking water bottle?

She's over there going. Really? Oh, I didn't see that. I thought that was bad. I just get really nervous and, like, quiet. I could go out ever hearing that sound again. Lynn, listen to me. I grew up playing sports.

I've obviously been around racing. I have a lot of friends that are like you, that are women who date, engaged, and are married to race car drivers. Right. Some of them act like idiots. So what do you do? Some of them literally, do you agree with that or disagree with that? They get a little carried away, yeah. I mean, chewing on a water bottle and to sit up there and be so theatrical, it's like, God, come on, man, like, eat a Xanax or something.

I'm more of the quiet type where I'll just, like, sit there and watch. Like, I won't know. But what are your insights feeling? I know that you're not that theatrical crazy girl. I just, I grew up around racing, so I'm kind of like used to it. But when you... Do everyone want to fight? Depends on a person.

Okay, you know. You see that work? There are some people that I wish would stay away from other people. No, not like anybody specific. Oh, there's some specifics. You're not getting away with that one. No, honestly. It's more of the like, when,

somebody gets too close to Chad and you're like, okay, is he going to do a slide job on him and isn't going to be really dirty? A what? Yeah, I don't know. You? Okay. I was going to say. Oh, gosh. I really can't talk. Why? So Tanner Thorson's slide jobs, Chad, doesn't really complete and hits him. Well, that's how they won, but he didn't hit him. What if he did? Would you want to fight him?

It depends if it was dirty or not. It was dirty. So there's such things as a dirty slide job. versus just a slide job. I need to pick and cheese my words. I forgot. I haven't been on the show in a few days. What other your rhythm?

So the moral story is you love Chad. He won a race. You get nervous. Yeah, I get nervous. Exactly. But, like, I mean, it's just normal. Did you, but you didn't eat a water bottle. I did not eat a water bottle.

And the first thing Chad said after he won was, why didn't you bring our dog to victory Lane? Oh. I'm here. Wow. The dog. Let me tell you something about dogs. They don't know what Victory Lane is.

Yeah. Nor do they care. They don't know. That's my other favorite thing. That's what he said. He's like, why don't you, our name is Susan. So why don't you bring Susan to victory lane? I was like, I'm here the first time and that's what you say to me.

So. So I have a question. Yeah. So apparently there was some dirty slide drives going on because I read something, I read something on Twitter. A couple of the drivers were saying, you know, this isn't, this. Somebody get tasered? Did I read that? I think I want to get tasered?

Like, yes. I don't know if I read that tweet. I missed that part. Would you get tasered? No. How much would it take? Would you get tasered? For enough.

As long as I promised me I wouldn't pee or poop myself, I think I'd do it. Is that like a side effect? It could happen. I mean, that's what I. I could see that. You lose control of like your body and stuff. Have you not seen that bowl get tasered? The thing falls over, like flat.

No, I have. It does? The only thing I've seen is like the hangover, right? It goes like this. It goes like this. It's legs are sticking straight out and it gets up and it is mad. But you know what? I'm not real sure my heart could take that.

Yeah. What does it mess? Can it kill you? I mean, it's shocking you. It's the sound. I guess it depends on the bolt. The sound of it sounds like they show me in the butt. I'd be mad.

How did he get to this? I don't know. If we set up a deal where we were going to do this, You shot me in the butt. I'd be mad. Oh, wow, yeah. The special delivery. Not only did Brett win the race.

He got a present. He got a birthday present. I saw this tweet from Mike Davis that a fan sent me a birthday present. Billy Stallings. Did anybody check it for anthrax? Louisville, Kentucky. I'm not going to touch it. This guy probably hates me.

Oh, a balloon. Look, happy birthday. Look, there's a card. There's a lot of bubble paper. My kids will love that. Oh, what you got in there? Nice. It's wrapped all pretty with that with gift bags.

Billy. I like your taste. I look. There's a card. You're supposed to. read the card first. Are you one of those people that opens the present? Oh, look, it's Jack, Evan Williams, Kentucky bourbon.

I like this guy. Mine's November 30th, Billy. Early times. Mine was in March. You're a really bad influence on me. T.J., you want to take a shot? No. This was what I would say to you.

You're a really bad influence on me. Could you guys please sign my plate and possibly get Junior to sign also, thanks? I like that in a person. Happy birthday. Hey, this might give you a reason to want to come to Kentucky Speedway. Shot. Hala.

Let's do it. I have to go to the office after this. Who cares? You can do a shot. But you can put this hat on. You definitely should wear the hat. This guy was man enough to send me a bottle of... Basically like a birthday party in a box.

Yeah, pretty much. Yep. I think I broke this one. He's from Kentucky, and he wants you to have a reason to come to Kentucky. He was nice to send me this, and we won the race, and I'm going to take this. Jim B. honey. You want to take it?

You go ahead and take it. Smooth. It's hot. We'll put this on you. Oh, Kentucky bourbon. I don't know if it'll fit. Oh, it broke. My triple chin.

Oh, God. Oh, God. Happy birthday, man. Thank you. I think. It's nine in the morning. You should finish it off. Honestly, I'm surprised you came here sober after you want.

You need a chaser? Yeah. Let me chase it with William's. That was pretty funny. That was a great idea. Now my guts are burning. Yep. You're going to have a lot of burning in a little bit.

I know. It's... Shot glasses. Those things are the best. Like, these little red Solo cup shot glasses are truly the best. Why didn't we think of them like 10 years ago? Why don't we think of something other than what we thought of, which is nothing? Yeah, nothing.

Miniature red cups. I like it. I mean, man, why? What else is out there that we can just make miniature and make money? Well, there's already alcohol. Jason, one of these days you're going to wake up at 9 in the morning and do a shot. Oh, really? One day.

One day. He is on summer vacation, so. Yeah, and then goes. When is your birthday again? February, so we got some time. Oh, you won't be here that long. Nobody's made it that long. Dillner's like, man, that's not nice.

All right. Well, Jason, we'll catch up with you some other time. All right. See you. Oh, God. So anyway, we, uh... God, that was bad. We ran Michigan.

Yes. Okay, so tell us more about your win. Well, I don't know what happened. I do? You want me to tell you? Yeah, should TJ explain it? You know, we qualified 12th, and I'll give you the abbreviated version. A couple guys got stuff that going on, whatever.

They had to go to the back. So we start eighth. We immediately drive to, uh, fourth or fifth. T.J passes us on like lap two for fifth, I think it was. We go to six. Next thing you know, we passed a couple guys. We're running a top four. And we ran pretty much top four all day. Top three, top four, sack at third. We'd come in and get four tires, lose a couple spots because guys had all kind of things going on. I mean, we saw the one get fuel only. Casey Kane do some different things up there. So from eight back on restarts was insane to watch. But I never got in that position.

where we were three and four wide and really having the scratch and claw. Like we were consistently in that top three or four. And I mean, I hate to say this because this doesn't represent anything that Clint did or that Boogah did. But for me and my job, that was probably the easiest race I've ever spotted, not to mention the fact that it was the easiest win I've ever got. I mean, you're sitting there watching this thing play out and you get two tires and you come off pit road with the lead. And then you notice that Casey Cain hadn't pitted. and you're like, uh-oh, because I wasn't watching Casey Kane.

Bugah asked me to tell him who was getting two and who was getting four. And I kept saying, four tires, four tires, four tires, everybody's getting four tires. Heke makes the call to get two, which obviously is going to give us the lead. We come out with the lead. Next thing, Bugger says, is did the 95 stay out? And I was like, I think he did. I didn't see it. My bad.

I wasn't looking at that. And then you're like, well, I hope that Casey is staying out, hoping it was going to rain. because, like, my radar said rain was 17 minutes out. You never know. And Buga had a radar that was showing him something completely different in terms of moisture, right? So it wasn't really raining, right, T.J. I mean, never. No, it turned into like a heavy mist.

Never rain. It was like a heavy mist. Which we get there, and we get at Pocono. There's a few places we get that. And a lot of it doesn't show up on our radars. But it's heavy enough you can't do anything. We got the two-mile racetrack completely black and completely wet. It soaked it.

There's a McDonald's in Super 8 right there in town in Brooklyn. And I could see from the roof that that's where the moisture was when that caution came out. And Bouga knew that it was coming our way. So I'll be honest with you. You know, Buga created the opportunity for us to win the race with his pick haul. And then from there, Clint executed everything that he was supposed to execute. And probably the only real confusing. part and hard part for me at the end of the race was the tower was telling Brett Bowdine to bring us

down pit road the next lap and then they realized we were going to lose the whole track so then they actually gave the command to the pace car to stay out Brett Bowdine never responded that he heard it then he brought the cars down pit road and i told Clint you follow this pace car NASCAR was going to throw the checker flag and let us officially win the race with the checker flag because it was 630 probably yeah it'd have been tough and it takes you know a couple hours to drive the track and even if it wasn't that way it's still you're looking at an hour and some change by then it rained again it's getting dark right so um to wrap the story up it just really comes down to having a fast car run up front all day i watch ryan newman win so many races on pit

strategy matt boarland made ryan newman look like a freaking genius uh on a lot of of occasions with his pick calls. And yesterday, the crew chief that we have, Mike, did a phenomenal job of putting us in a position to win. And then the driver went out there and drove his heart out on a restart against the best in the business right now, Kevin Harvick, and won the race. You know, it was cool. It was fun.

It was weird, though, because we get the Victory Lane, and they kind of had it under a breezeway, and then they move it. And it just was weird. You know what I mean? Like, it wasn't your, you didn't take the check of a win. That's how it always is. a rain when you win a rain. I've won a couple of them and it's just weird. Like it's not normal. You're going into a room or something and you're a shed or a shed. I've not been a part of a rain

delayed win. I was very close on a few occasions. You know, even Dover with Clint a few weeks ago. We were close. But it was a different feel. You know what I mean? Like it was almost surreal that you were like, did we really win? Because this kind of feels weird. And then I saw the monster energy girls. And I was like, you're damn right. This is real. Hey, I want my picture made with y'all. Clint, step out for a minute. All right. Done. Yeah.

I'll be sure to find out on Getty. You probably had, what, like a third place car, fourth place car? I really felt like, T.J., watching the race, and you know what this is like. I felt like Harvick was the best. I felt like we were the second best, and I felt like that Ryan Blaney was the third best. I mean, and I know Ryan Blaney, I don't know where the kid finished, I guess, top seven for sure. But I felt like just watching the car, we were a second place car. And then I'd watch a guy like Kurt Busch be a tenth to two-tenths faster than us,

but the second he would sniff dirty air, even with a lap car, he would lose a ton of time. Yeah, he couldn't get around on us. You know what I mean? Like I would catch a car and I could maintain, maintain, maintain, try to make a move. Kurt Busch would catch a car and he could be more trimmed out than us. I'm obviously not privy to that setup stuff. But I would watch him catch, you know, land a castle. And then all of a sudden it's like, hey, hey, Kurt's gone.

He's no longer behind you. I definitely think the four had the best. I think the 12 was the second best, and I feel like he were probably. third. Yeah. But if you got in them positions, that's where you were going to run almost. I mean, wherever you got settled in that, it's where you're going to be. Like you said, though, the pit crew, the pit call was the key to get Clint out there.

And Clint, the most important part of the race right there for Clint was those three laps or whatever. How many laps did we run green? I don't know. Like three, maybe. I'm going to tell you six, but it might have been three. I don't know. I don't even know.

I just know that the, we could not let Harvard clear us. wanted to, and he did clear us. And I'll be honest with you, like, I'm watching him clear us. And I'm like, damn it. And then I'm like, well, he's not moving up. And then Clint stabbed the gas. And he ran back to Harvick's right rear. And then he had to get out of it again.

And I'm like, Jesus. Then he stabbed it again. Harvick never moved up. Yeah, I saw that. I think that Harvick thought, I've got the momentum. I'm going to be, still be clear when I exit to. And because it's my teammate, I'm not going to race him as bad as I would probably race somebody that wasn't my team.

He would probably slide up in front of someone else. He didn't slide job us. Right. To your, no, 30 slide jobs out of Harvard yesterday. And he was dogging you, though. He was dogging us. I mean, he's dogged us in the three, you know? He was probably, in my opinion, he was probably two to three a lapse away from probably clearing you.

But, I mean, Clint did everything he had to do to win the race. So. Clint's such a fun guy. I mean, that's the cool part is, you know, obviously I love him to death and I've been working with him for years. We've been buddies even longer than that, but it's just a fun guy. His victory lane interviews are always pretty great. I mean, I get the kickback jacks last night. My celebration was a kickbacks.

I met Freddie, who spots for Bubba, Doug, who spots for Casey and Roman, who spotted for Matt Kenseth. And we just had a beer kickback Jackson. Clint went to the lake. He's at Lake of the Ozarks this week, which T. T.J's been there. It is a wild, wild environment. Summertime there. So I FaceTime him first, and he said, hey, I put my kids down.

give me a minute. And the next time he FaceTime me, there was like a IV of fireball. It was in a bag. It was a bag of fireball that they were. I bet his dirt guys were back too. And he was just giving the, like the Tiger Woods fist pump. And he was excited, man. That's the cool part. Always right before an off weekend. So you just make the most of it. I know. I know. So I think after Homestead, there's an off weekend. I hope we're eligible. I hope we win that one. Yeah.

But it was fun, man. It was cool. All right. Spot on, spot off. You want to, in the rush or something? Yes. Where you got to go? Where you got to go?

I got to go ship that. You got to send it. Ship my bag. I ship my bag? Ship. What was that commercial? I ship my pants. I ship my pants.

I ship my pants. Remember? What was that? I remember. It was a Christmas commercial. It was Target. Yeah, I remember that now. How did you?

Was it? I shit my pants. Oh, that was a good one. All right. Spot on, spot off. SHR finishes 1, 2, 3 for the first time in team history. Where's the 4? Where's the 4th?

Amarola. Get it together. Spot on. I remember Hendrick running 1, 2, 3, even with a guy named Ricky Craven that couldn't drive that well. And I remember as a fan going, man, that's really cool for the team. Because you look at the team and you think drivers, their families, their employees, the employees of the race team, like, to be a part of that and to see the synergy around that was awesome. I am.

Do you say spot off on a punch? I'm going spot off, man. Here's my reaction. It's not plugged in. I'm sorry. Come on, man. I wanted to puke. Can you actually do it?

It's just impersonating. I was trying to get the pukes on. Stop acting like you're too cool to make a cool sound. I'm not experienced with that sounds. The sound boards are. awesome. I don't know why you don't have that thing hooked up all the time. We've got a new system now. I'm going to have to play a little bit. Yeah, it plugs in different, right?

I don't know how many times teams have even done this in history, right? Yeah, can we look at all that? Kurt starts from the pole, you know. There's an asterisk, though. It was rain shortened. Then you go one, two, three. Like, wow, it's crazy. Stuart Haas is on it, man. No doubt. Spot on, spot off. Xfinity Arrow Package at Michigan.

I don't, I didn't, obviously I didn't spot the race, but from a spectator point of view, I enjoyed it. I liked it. So, it's just, you could get runs. I mean, people were having to make decisions they didn't want to have to make. Do you be patient? Do you stay in line up here? Do you shoot to the bottom and try to clear him? And if you did, were you going to try to muscle your way back up in front of the guy?

Or, you know, there was, there was a lot of, I mean, it was exciting. Austin Dillon drove through Kaz Grawler for the lead. I mean, I don't know if you saw that or not. But there was, and it was cool to see somebody like Kazz up there leading the race, legit too. He made a pass to the lead in the 24 car or 60, what is it? 61. 61.

We were leading and he got a run on us down the back. But I mean, that's, and he did it right, though. Two weeks ago, he didn't have a ride. I mean, that's impressive. Yeah, I mean, it was entertaining for me. there wasn't, I feel like if you let this race go with the cup guys are in it, they're going to, it's going to stretch out. You might have a good race at the end between a couple of them if they can, you know,

get to each other a little bit, but I thought this brought everyone together. And it was, I was on the edge of my seat. I don't know what was going to happen. So, and that's, I don't want to do this all the time, but I thought it was exciting. Spot off. Wasn't a fan. I don't have to tell you why, because our listeners are smart enough to know why. their race fans and they realized that that wasn't racing.

I liked it. All right. That's pitiful. I liked it. It was a fight for the top line. The cup race was too. All we did once again was we put a really exciting product out there on restart for two to three laps. Once it got single file, everybody scared to go to the bottom.

Because if you went to the bottom and you didn't clear them, you went to the back. And, I mean, we went from second. on a restart on the bottom to seventh. Solely because of we were in the wrong lane, like you, it's not racing. I'm sorry. And once again,

it looked like it was easy to do. Yeah. I mean, we went from third to ninth and the cup race on the inside. It wants exactly what I'm telling you. It's the same product of racing on that style of track. All you're doing is slowing the cars down and making them easier to drive. And there's no way.

and I heard this weekend, Marcus Smith, we said this last week on the show, was pushing so hard for that All-Star package to be in place at Kentucky. I heard this weekend that didn't come through, and the first thing I thought was, thank you. Like, this is not the direction we need to be going, but they're looking at. I'm not sure Kentucky's a good spot for it. Do you know where I heard they're really, really looking at doing it at is the Poconos and the Fontana's and the two-mile or bigger tracks?

Yeah, Pocono didn't work. Fontana puts on an amazing race. please don't touch that. Yeah. But they're talking about the Michigan's, the Indies, the Poconos, the tracks that are bigger. I don't think this package, I think it only works at places where you can run wide open. Which is a lot of banking. That means a lot of banking is required.

Yeah, I don't think it works really. I mean, I thought I worked good at Charlotte. So you don't, I mean, as exciting as Michigan wasn't. I just don't want to watch a bumper car race. and I felt like that's what it was. It's a bumper car race. Fair. And, I mean, let's be very honest.

Casgrawla, hey, I don't know the dude, but he took the lead and he's doing whatever he's doing. Like, what are we doing for him to be able to do that? Like, nothing against him, but what are we doing? Really? Like, I'm supposed to think this is hard and this is easy. awesome and then I watch some guy that that

yeah yeah wasn't not a fan spot off how do you know he's not the how do you know he doesn't have talent I'm not saying he doesn't have talent I'm saying that his car and his his package I'm not personally seeing his package but I feel like the package that I saw

TJ you know that he's not supposed to be leading an Xfinity race so if that's what you want to do is put this oh my god everybody can lead kind of thing together that's not real that's not i don't think anybody can leak because i didn't see it cycle around uh yeah just and this isn't racing i mean i i i enjoyed that i enjoyed it um i thought it was exciting i don't want to do it all the time i don't think like you said i don't think it's i don't think it's something we need to do all the time but some places it just puts on it gives a better product third week in a row

that that we've talked about this on the podcast and now that Carr has to do what really good sports organizations do, and that's take the lead on creating what the narrative is in their sport. And right now, the narrative doesn't need to be about this package. It needs to be about guys that are winning races, guys that are going to make these playoffs in all three series. We don't need to keep talking about this package like I'm sick of it. So that's what I think.

I like it. Spot on. All right. Well, Matt Kenseth's performance through four starts. next one isn't until September. And he's really happy about that, I would think. Yeah. This guy's had four days.

I'm assuming that's a spot off. Yeah. He shipped his starts. Yeah. I shipped my starts. He shipped his pants. You know, I thought, I think it's a little more than what he was expecting, or a little more difficult than what he was expecting.

I still feel like it's going to take a little while for results to start coming. It doesn't happen overnight. but he's a guy that can, you know, take these performances and be like, look, you need to make this better, this better, and this better before we start doing this. He's a guy that can come in there and do that. So it's not really surprising that it's been a struggle for him. But I think over the next, you know, handful of races, I would look, now's when I'd look for some little bit of performance gain now is what I feel like it should start clicking in a little bit if, you know, if Matt's going to, you know, come in and help him. So I watched him yesterday, wreck on his own. And then after he wrecked, he was kind of sparking.

And I was like, I bet he wishes this car would catch on fire so he could just be done. Because he's a difference maker. You know, I was with Clint when we were at MWR and we were winning races and run second in the championship that year to Keselowski. I was also with him when we went to Harry Scott and you couldn't run on the lead lap to save your life. And obviously I'm with him now at Stuart Haas. and the first thing that I asked him after we left, not Daytona, because obviously Daytona is a different animal, but after we left Atlanta and Fontana, we were out having a beard.

I'd say, hey, man, what's the difference in these cars? He said, honest God, Brett, like they drive the same. You just go so much faster. And we know that Matt Kenseth is a difference maker in terms of his input into the race car and into the steering wheel. But when you watch his results, you have to look at this. And I got a lot of friends at Roush Racing, including Steve Newmark, who's a president,

If I'm him, I'm making the decision today that I'm changing everything on that 16. I'm going to move Phil up from Ryan Reid's deal as crew chief. I'm making real big changes because Matt got in there. T.J., I think he might have ran worse than Trevor's been running. Yeah, I haven't seen a gain. And we were supposed to. Yeah. I mean, you definitely think he could come in and better.

It might not be 15 spots, but you definitely think he'd come in and- You think it's seven. You know, five to seven, start chipping away at it. Yeah. And I haven't seen it. Especially when Ricky's beating him by 10 spots. And not only beating as in finishing order, but beating him in terms of under green flag racing, Matt's running 25th. Ricky's running, you know, 15th to 18th.

Like that team needs some major changes. From a leadership standpoint, the guys turning wrenches aren't, you know, there's nothing wrong with those guys. They're good guys. Their equipment is not falling apart. No. It's whoever's making decisions on what they're taking to the racetrack. And these things are, man, like we used to have, how many parts and pieces are on these cars, you think?

How many hundreds? 200 parts and pieces? I mean. 500 parts and pieces. All we talk about the damn racetrack is one piece, the splitter. The splitter, the splitter, the splitter, the splitter. Like, they got problems before they get to the track, is my point. That particular.

There's a lot of pieces. A lot of parts, pieces. And you got to bring better parts and pieces. Well, hopefully they have, like, a few months now so they can... That's the cool thing about the off weekend. Yeah. The cool thing about the... He's got a few months before he gets in the car, but, hey, they got it.

They brought in some new sponsorship here. That sponsor's not going to be patient. They want to see results. And the good thing is they got an off weekend right now, and that off weekend gives you an opportunity to catch up. Because T.J. will tell you, it's easy to look at the schedule, but you're in the grind and the grind and the grind. When you got an off week, you can kind of, take a deep breath and go, okay, what do we got to do here? Yeah, I think it's a good chance for Trevor

to get back in, too, and kind of relight the fire under him. He's looked amazing for four weeks, and he hadn't even drove a car, because the car hadn't done any better without a minute. Yeah. And that's a good thing. That's a compliment of Trevor Bain, because there's been a lot of times where we've all looked around going, man, what's wrong with Trevor? And I spotted for Trevor when he came into the Xfinity series with MWR. And I think the kid, he reminded me so much of Greg Biffle because he wasn't scared. He drives so deep in the corner. And there are tendencies there that are tendencies of a great race car driver.

And the past couple of years, you've been going, man, what's wrong with him? Well, guess what? It ain't him. And how do we know? Because Matt Kins has got in the same car and can't stay on a lead lap. I'm sure Trevor is relieved. And Ford's doing pretty good. So you can't say it's Ford.

you know Mm-hmm Mm-hmm Hart Mm-hmm Yeah Breakout in song Damn Jack Honey

Do you need another one? No, I got to drive You keep looking at the thing Oh, I'm hoping his arm in there Like Dispair

All right Keith Oberman's comments About NASCAR I know there were a few Keith Oberman's a moron That's Who is Keith Oberman?

Do you think Dale Jr. could whip his ass Oh, yeah. I'd love to see him whip his ass. He's probably a liberal. I just don't understand why the negative. You know? The thing is,

Dale Jr. is on TV, and he's at the Stanley Cup, and I'm telling y'all right now, I only watched it because Dale Jr. was there and on the Stanley Cup coverage. And I think he does a good job. So a lot of our race fans probably migrated over to the Stanley Cup coverage, and all you do is, give sports fans an opportunity to kind of cooperate in the same space.

Yeah. And hockey fans probably went, man, that's Dale Jr. That's cool. He's here. I didn't know he was a hockey fan. And obviously, Dale Jr. is there to promote the fact that NBC's about to take over the racing schedule, which is really cool. But as a fan of sports, I don't, I'm not a hockey fan, you know, but if Mario Lemieux or if Jeremy Roanick, or obviously this is a Vetchkin guy, that's the whole, the goalie for the capital,

No, he's not the goalie. No, he's not. No, he's not the goalie. What is he? He's like a forward or center. He's crazy. I like that guy. He scores goals, and that doesn't prevent goals.

Oh, well, he's a goal-getter. My point is, as a sports fan, I appreciate seeing those guys and other avenues. And Keith Oberman, of all people who made a name for himself at ESPN should get that. He's a moron. I don't know why you wouldn't promote that or, you know, be excited that. What do they say? Have you got it? Yeah, he said it's not just that NBC sports has trotted out Dale Jr.

And it's Stanley Cup pregame and at the start of the first intermission. It's the institutional tone deafness indicated by the belief that there's any overlap between these two sports with otherly different demographics. So he's got an agenda against NBC there. He's also said, he also tweeted a couple tweets before that calling him, you know, some retired taxi cab driver. Oh, really? Which I think's highly unnecessary. And what I thought was funny is you mentioned Jeremy Ronek. I actually saw pictures of him at a NASCAR driving school.

Yeah, he was there. He was in Kentucky. He played for the Blackhawks. And I'm not a hockey fan and I know that. Superstar. And I appreciate seeing him at a race because I think that there's a lot of ways that we can all live together. I don't know if a... But it's a man.

Just go kick this guy's ass. Well, I don't understand why NBC wouldn't do that. I mean, that's a no-brainer. You're promoting two sports. And in reality, demographics are similar if you think about it. And in reality, Dale Jr. is our Tiger Woods. Yeah. I mean, he's the most popular guy to arguably ever put on a fire suit.

Everybody knows who he is, whether you're a hockey fan, a golf fan. I mean, that's... I mean, he's iconic. Yeah. You know, and the Dale Jr. that TJ knows so well and that I obviously know fairly well, like, we don't see him that way, but the rest of the world does. So, what an idiot? Keith Norman's an idiot.

He deserves to have his ass beat. So assuming spot off. Yeah. Spot off and honestly, like, let him get his ass beat over this. Yeah, I want to read through the responses. I'll see that later. I wasn't sure he got hammered. He got grilled pretty bad.

Sure. Well, he should have. I mean. Well, I don't know where that was coming from. It's just disrespectful. If you were NBC, you would do the team. I think he's on his way declined, so he's just taking, stirring up anything you can. Yeah.

All right, let's take a break. This is your Exxontera Race Center update on Matthew Dillner. The theme was team for NASCAR this weekend. In Michigan, it was a podium suite for Stuart Haas Racing. A gutsy two-tire stop late in the second stage was the call that put Clint Boyer on top when rain shortened the Firekeeper's Casino 400. S-HR teammates Kevin Harvick and Kurt Busch finished second and third. In Xfinity series action, Richard Childress Racing celebrated a one-two finish

as Austin Dillon scored the W ahead of teammate Daniel Hemerick. As for the Junior Motorsports team, Tyler Reddick was the best of the bunch with a seventh place result. The truck series hit the road for a standalone at Texas Motor Speedway Friday night. Johnny Sauter's series dominance continued, scoring his fourth win of the season over Stuart Friesen and his GMS teammate, Justin Haley. The Junior Motorsports late model team was in action at North Carolina's East Speedway this weekend. Josh Berry and Sam Mayer had strong runs going before getting caught up in accidents, resulting in 14th and 20th place finishes. This has been your Exalta Race Center update.

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Wow. Read. All right. Now four drivers. have multiple wins this season, Harvick, Bush, Turek, and Boyer. Do you think these four will represent the championship four at Homestead? T.J.

I don't believe that'll be the four that'll be racing for the championship. I think that's two, possibly three of the four. But I don't think those are the four that are represented. Who are your two? Right now, I mean, you can't go against Harvick. He's going to be there. Bush would be my next I think he can pick it up

Truex to me has been He hasn't quite shown the speed that he did last year And dominance did a lot of the A lot of mile and a half in bigger tracks Where he was really dominant last year You know it's I don't know it's gonna come down to the wild card races To me it's gonna come down to who can win Talladega

And And come out of there And I don't know That's the wild card to me Claire B came by the victory lane set up yesterday, and she asked me, you know, what did you think when Buga pulled out two tires? And I told her, it was about time. He grew some balls.

And then we started talking about other things. And I was like, we know who the best three teams are right now. And it is Harvick, Bush, and Truex, period. And we're lobbying to be that fourth guy in that conversation of a team and driver that can win a championship. And there's been times when we knew that we were in that conversation. And then I look at Pocono where we have a bad pit stop. and then we miss a shift, and we just completely take a top five effort, and we finish 20th with it. And you can't say you're the fourth best team when you do those things.

You have to pay attention to detail and execute. And on days like Martinsville, you go out and dominate, you win. On days like yesterday, you go out and you're consistently in the top three, and you put yourself in contentional win. So I hope, obviously, that I'm in this position, but I do truly believe we're the fourth best team right now. I believe that. I'm not just telling you that because I'm on this team. I just, I don't know if I see the consistency there yet to label you as the fourth team yet. Who's the fourth?

I think it's toss up, man. That's what I'm saying. There's a lot of variables in play. There's probably four or fiveists. I mean, the two is going to be strong. I mean, I feel like we're going to be strong. Depend, like, you could pull another win out like that, and you just never know. I feel like the third or fourth spot is pretty competitive.

Yeah. Brad Kislauski said the best drivers wouldn't choose to compete in NASCAR if the Restrictor Plate package is used on a regular basis. Do you agree or disagree? Yeah, obviously I agree. I mean, I've been saying this. This is the third week in a row. So when I have drivers, I said, when we said this package was going to happen at the

All-Star race, I said on this podcast, if this package is coming, our older guys are going to flip y'all off and say, we're leaving. because this isn't racing. It is the ability to run wide open and run bumper cars. And these guys aren't going to do this because they know the talent level that is required to go out and do their jobs to run 215 miles an hour getting into turn 1 at Michigan. So for him to say this, he's just backing up what I've been telling y'all. Nobody's going to, dang. I mean, would Bubba Wallace stick around here and do this?

Absolutely. You know, those guys There's a handful of guys. I don't necessarily think it's I don't think we need to do it all the time at the top level. I think it's a here and there thing at some tracks where it just makes the racing better,

but we have to have our pure racing what we're used to, you know. I think this is a different package. I think it's fun once in a while, but I don't think if we did it all the time, I don't feel like the, I think he's right. I don't think the best guys in the world or not going to want to, you know, Formula One guy's not going to be like, oh, I want to go do that.

You know, they're not going to do that. No, it's not attractive. The term of racing. For drivers, it's. The term of racing means which driver and which team and which car and which crew chief and which engineer can go the fastest. When you're all going the same speed, there isn't a fastest. So that's just the reality of what I think, a awesome race driver.

and an awesome race team is. Who can go the fastest? And if you're all going the same speed, that's not the fastest. You're all going the same speed. So I agree with Brad. Justify became a 13th horse in history to win the Triple Crown on Saturday.

If NASCAR had a Triple Crown of races, which three events would be included and could a driver ever accomplish the feat? Jason put on his thinking cap and made up this question. That was a good one. I love the Triple Crown. I mean, I got a roll of Daytelling of 500. Right.

I don't really, as much as I have in the past, I don't consider the Brickyard 400 is one of the best races anymore to go and win. It used to be to me, but now it's such a, not an entertaining race to me that I don't consider it. I would probably put a Martinsville race in there. Martinsville or Bristol, one of the other, and I would maybe throw a road course in there to have a little bit of variety, a little bit of each. Interesting. Could a driver win all three one season? Yeah, absolutely.

Who? Right now. I think I know you're going to say. Man, I don't know. You just never know. I don't know. I cannot believe that you didn't say Darlington. How do you leave Darlington out of a triple crown when it's one of the best racetracks in America?

You got to have Daytona. T. T.J.'s right. Obviously, I'm going to say Bristol. You got to have Darlington in there. Then your next one's Bristol. My next one would be tough to pick because that Coke 600 is still a highly coveted trophy. Bristol is a very difficult place to win. But I think when you look at what we're trying to do here, it's a restrictor plate race.

It's an all-out track like Darlington, and then to me it's got to be the Coke 600. So I think you've got to go Daytona 500, Coke 600, a Labor Day weekend at Darlington. And if you went all three of those, you're our triple crown winner. I feel like you got two of the same type of tracks in there. Two of the same type of tracks don't really. Which two are similar? Darlington and Charlotte are pretty similar. You're crazy.

They're pretty damn close. You're going to be. I don't know what the doctor gave you last week to make you feel better, but it must be some strong. You've lost your mind. The same five cars are going to be fast. Darlington and Charlotte and Charlotte are similar tracks. Okay. The same five cars that are fast there are going to be fast at Darlington.

Here, let me give you some of these many bottles. make you feel better. So we're going to flop the field of Darlington? Best car, best driver's going to win. The same five cars that are fast Charlotte are going to be fast at Darlington. Mark my words. That other package. Mark my words.

We'll look at Prattis speeds from Charlotte and then we're going to look at Prattisbee's from Darlington. It's going to be real similar. All right. Off the Wall topic. With Father's Day on Sunday, what has been your favorite Father's Day memory with your kids? Oh, man. You've got to stop thinking so much. We just started getting this off, to be honest with you.

You know, last year was, I think, the first Father's Day we've had off in a very long time. And my kids, my oldest is 11, so the majority of Father's Days we haven't spent it together. But we're building memories at Myrtle Beach because that's what people do. Where do you think people in Myrtle Beach go to vacation? North Myrtle? North Myrtle? Charlotte? They're already in the best spot.

Charlotte? I mean, they'd be disappointed to go on vacation because they're leaving Myrtle Beach. That's like if you live in Florida, you don't want to go to a beach. Somewhere live in Florida, you're 80 years old with purple hair. I grew up in Florida, so. You don't look like you're purple hair. Not yet. She's an exception.

They go somewhere clean? Florida is all the retired Yankees that can't afford to pay property taxes, so they just moved to Florida. Florida's hot. It is hot. No thanks. It's just nice to be home. for it. You know, it's nice to not have to wake up in FaceTime. You know, oh, happy Father's Day on FaceTime. You know, it's nice to actually... I'll be home at midnight. Yeah. See you next, see you the next day. So it's actually nice to be home. And actually, and actually watch them do something special for you. Like, oh, Dad, I made you a card. You know, you don't, you don't get that when you wake up Sunday at the racetrack. So it's kind of cool. And it's special for them because they're happy about what

they did and you know they're excited too so it's nice to be home yeah i agree thank you nascar yeah for making it because we're all a bunch of guys racing it's really nice for them to give us back to our families on that weekend because they don't have to mother's day as well i mean it's nice to be home too yeah we race on saturday thank goodness but they literally give us back to our families this weekend they don't have to and for years they didn't so it's cool for them to let all the dads in the sport, go home and be a dad that day and not a racer. It's cool. All right.

Ask CBC. Joe Jr. 57 asks, can Clint win a Cup Series championship? For sure he can. I mean, we finished second, you know, years ago to Kozowski, like I said. I mean, Clint is a very consistent driver. You know, he's going to go out and consistently run in the top 10. And Homestead, man, here's the cool thing. You got to look at a guy like Kevin Harvick with probably 30.

D2 bonus points right now, give or take a few. Like, he's almost racking up enough points to know that he can carry himself to Homestead. So guess what they can do? They can start working on that Homestead car now. And they can make it as good as it can possibly be. So for us, you know, I look at the chase races. Man, for me, going into the summer for me is what scares me with Clint because I'm like,

Pocono, he's not great there. We were fast. Didn't finish well, but fast. Michigan, oh, you know, fast. When's a race? you know, indie. Like those are places that I don't look at go. These are Clint Boyer style racetracks

because he likes to save tires and be fast at the end of the run. And that's what Homestead is. It's a place where you're going to have to manage your stuff, you know. So I absolutely Clint can win the championship. Corn Whit asks, and I don't know if this is a true or false statement, but he asks, true or false, in 2018, Paul Menard will get the Wood Brothers their 100th win.

I ship my corn. I don't know if that is. I mean, you never know. He had speed yesterday, and late race restart, late race pick call gets him out front. He could have pulled that off yesterday as well. You know, you never know. You put him on the outside of front row, and he's got to hold some guys off for a little bit. It can happen.

I don't think Paul, I think Paul's a good enough driver. I still think he's getting, I still think he's getting accustomed to there and certain. He's had a lot of bad luck, loose wheels, things like. Tons of bad luck. He's had a lot of bad luck. So I'm really excited looking forward to the second half of the year for him to maybe build off this Michigan race here and see if he can put some more good runs together. My sixth ever race spotting was with the Wood Brothers and we won Bristol. And it was so awesome.

And yesterday we started that race and the wind started blowing and I got really cold. And I walked down to Stevie Reeves, who spots for Paul Menard. And I said, dude, you've got an extra jacket. And he was like, yeah. And I put on a Wood Brothers jacket. So I won the race yesterday wearing a Wood Brothers jacket. The same way I wore with a Woodbrother's shirt on back in 2001 at Bristol. So I'm a big Wood Brothers fan.

I mean, the last time they won a race with Blaney, I wore a Woodbrother's shirt the next day and sent Eddie Woodward a picture of it. And I said, hey, man, I'm a fan. Just want you to know that. And he's like, dude, that's awesome. Once you're a Woodbrother, you're always a Woodbrother. And so I would love to see Paul Menard get his 100th win. Their 100th win with him. You know, his family, the Menard family has done so much.

for all racing across the board. You know, they're big, big supporters of racing. They're good people, do it. It'd be phenomenal. Can he do it? Yeah, he's probably looking at himself right now in the mirror going, why don't I come over here and do this years and years ago? Because he's a guy that got the Andy Peacher racing in the Bush series and struggled

and wasn't competitive. Then he got to DEI, and we saw him be competitive and contend to win races and run up front. And then he picked a couple places to go. And, I mean, let's not avoid the obvious here. Paul Menard is from an extremely wealthy family. And there's a difference in wealthy and rich. This guy's wealthy. He could kind of pick and choose where he went.

He's probably wishing to pick this place a little sooner because he's had speed, tons of bad luck. Absolutely he can. I believe Paul Menard can win a race. Wreck or Fire wants to know, would either of you be willing to shoot out of a cannon for pre-race entertainment? And do either of you have contract commitments? that would prevent you from doing so.

I ship my contract. I really have no interest of being shot out of a cannon. Hell no. I like Earth. I like to stand on Earth. And I don't like to fly. You need to stand on Earth. Like there's a hot air balloon?

No way. Really? Hell no. So you went skydiving? No. I went skydiving. What if somebody tied you up and just laid you on a hot air balloon? Have you seen me?

What are you thinking about? And laid you in a hot air balloon? and just took it off. I'm going to tell you something. I'm not jumping out of a perfectly good airplane. No, I'm not going skydiving. It's fun. I don't like that.

I think you should go for a hot air balloon ride. Did you see that guy fly to that cannon? Yeah, something guy played out of that. He was fat, too. Like, he wasn't a good-looking in-shaped guy. I was like, I kind of looked like this guy's like a chubby version of him. Maybe it actually was Brett. No, it wasn't me.

I'm not doing that. No, I'm not doing it either. You know, I mean, how many shots would you have to take to do that? Because if that goes wrong, it's going to end real bad. How do you practice that? I mean. Just with a net and a cannon. I'm assuming based on what I saw.

Yeah. I don't think you. Your little ass would go flying. Yeah, you'd have shot way over that net. He'd have been like, she's gone. Oh, God. There's no telling where you would have landed.

She gone. Okay. It would be fun. All right. Anything we want to rant about? I think we ran into beginning. Yeah, we did. I got something to say.

Please do. And it's based on conversation that I've had with people. And I don't know if y'all appreciate it or not, but when we were in Charlotte, my buddy said to me, they live here, where are you going this weekend? They didn't know the race was in Charlotte. And then this weekend, I was in Jackson, Michigan. There ain't nothing to do there. It's bad. And I went to a little burger bar that I like, and the lady goes, you from here?

I was like, no, thank God, I'm not from here. And she's like, what are you doing in town? I was like, I'm here for the race. Oh, I didn't know the race was here this weekend. So my point of this is NASCAR and these track promoters have taken almost solely to social media to promote our product. And when the people that live in these towns don't know that the race is in town, you're missing an opportunity to get people to the racetrack. So get back in the newspapers, get back on the radio, get back to buying billboards, and stop thinking that social media is the end-off beer. Our average fan is 50 years old.

They're not on social media all day like these kids are. have got to tell people that we're in town. And DJ, they didn't know we were coming to downtown. I was like, this is unbelievable. In their defense, I mean, I've seen a ton of billboards, especially for Charlotte. Billboards, I've seen them on the radio. So it just depends where they're listening. PR people used to put race car drivers on these radio stations, doing interviews, promoting the race.

And these PR people are doing the same thing that these racetracks are doing. Nothing. They're all on social media. That's all their focus is. That's all the traction. And it's not the PR people's job of race teams to sell tickets. But it is the tracks job and it is NASCAR's job. And I'm telling you right now, when people don't know that we're in town, somebody is screwing up real bad.

Was the burger good? Burger was awesome. Okay. Good. It was real good. I mean, NASCAR does driver advances and all that stuff. But I don't know. I feel like you're right.

There's a lot. How can my friends who actually follow racing Not no. Go, where are you going this weekend? I'm like, I'm not going anywhere dumb ass. I'm going to freaking Charlotte 20 minutes from here. Oh, I didn't know it's in town. Like, we're missing the boat.

Well, it could be also like sponsors aren't doing what they used to do, like the Gillette Young Guns and Coke, like they used to do a lot more. I get that, Casey, and I've always said our sponsors take our product to the marketplace better than anybody else. They do NASCAR's job for them. But you know what? if sponsors are doing it, then NASCAR in these tracks need to get off their butts and do it themselves. You tell them.

There is no reason that these people that I'm encountering don't know that the race is in town. Fix that. I don't know how you fix it, but somebody better fix it. All right. Well, I know T.J. has to go ship his back. I'm going to ship my pants. All right. I'm taking Kurt.

Shit, my headset. Did you want to make two picks? We got to make two picks. We got double. This is for Sonoma because you weren't here last week, so we didn't make picks. I know, and I was actually going to, I didn't feel right. I was going to pick Kurt because he's the best guy I have left, and I didn't feel right.

We talked about it up there, and I was like, well, let's just make, and I was going to pick Kurt, and I didn't feel it because he qualified in the poll. I'm like, I don't know. I feel like, it's not really fair to. So we got to pick two guys. We got to do two head-to-head matchups. Why? Why can't we just pick one?

So your first, you don't screw it up, too. I think who won last time, Jason? T.J. won. So I get to go first, so now, can I pick Kurt Busch? Oh, yeah, I can pick Kurt Busch. You're going to screw it up. No, I should go. I picked first.

I'm not going to... Well, you won the last one. So I'm supposed to pick. But that's right. I'm not going to screw you out of this win. So here's the thing. I did win? Yeah.

Look at the sheet. Sweet. Here's the thing. We're going to pick two people head to head. Wow, let's save one guy. No, we're not saving anybody. The first guy that I'm going to pick, I don't have anybody left.

The first guy that I'm going to pick, is Michael McDowell Fine Take him So you got Kurt Busch Okay The next guy that I'm going to pick

Is Kurt Busch So it's Michael McDowell Against Kurt Busch for pick one Pick 2 Is I'm picking Kurt Busch Who you picking? Oh let's see here

I will take Who the hell is Thompson I was not that's that Um Just take him See what happens No I feel like we're leaving a ringer off

That's gonna be in the race That's not on this list Yeah they probably don't know who's Doing it Yeah What about like AJ or something that's really good? Shut up Casey I mean I'm getting there

Damn it Let's call these people my friend I shit my friend If I take AJ now he's going to take him at the Glenn. Oh, true. But there's only two road courses. We did this last year.

There's three road courses now. But if I don't take AJ now, though, then I might not get the opportunity at the Glenn because if I win the race before the Glenn, he's going to take AJ. That's fair. So Almondinger. Amundinger versus Kurt Busch

and Michael McDowell versus Kurt Busch. I hope I win one of them. I mean, it's pretty probably going to split. You're off. What are you doing this week? I'm going to go to Charleston. pending I feel 100%. Taking the kids?

Oh, yeah. So Folly Beach, Isle of Palms? Where are you going? Where are you staying? I'm at a friend's house for two nights than downtown Saturday. Oh, an old historic district. Yeah, we're going to stand on historic district.

Yeah. And enjoy the little nightlife on the streets there, which is pretty entertaining. I'm going to Nashville for two days, which I went last week. Like Shelton opened his bar all red. Can you please tell me ideas for a bachelor's? grand opening.

He's testing it out for you. Yeah, thanks. Blake had his grand opening, and he had, like, Hootie came and played, which is also Darius Rucker. Kelly Clarkson came and played. Trace Atkins,

like all these guys were just bouncing in and out. He played for, his band played for four straight hours. So I'm going to Nashville for two days this week, chill, see my buddy Kevin. Freddie Crafts going with us, and then I'm going to Myrtle Beach on Saturday.

And we're not doing a show next week, so don't people do not tweet me and ask me if we're doing a show. Yeah. You're listening. We're off. You're here right now. We're not doing a show.
