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 win. Oh, yeah. Hey, everybody. I'm T.J. Major, Spotter of the 22-cup car, 25 truck this weekend, and joining me with his dirty old feat today. Hey, Brett Griffin. Spotter from Clint Boyer, Elliot Saddle, Mike Snyder. Dude, I walked around barefooted in my garage.

before I came here. He has more hair between his flip-flop and the bottom of his bit. But that's off the dogs. There's dog hair and shit in there. Do you clean it? I mean... I just, I walked around all morning barefooted and I put shoes on. No, I didn't clean my feet before I came.

DJ's like, I'm not looking at your foot. I didn't know I had to get a pedicure before I came to the show. They probably turned. They probably turned it. They'd probably turn you down. Send you back. Go clean them. Come back after you clean them.

I don't like people touching my feet. I don't think I could do it. think you have to worry about that. I think the other people should be concerned. I should go in there like this and be like, I want my feet clean. You clean these feet? Yeah. You go home shower.

You watch those feet first. You have dirty feet. Why are we speaking with an accent? That's the real question. Why were we speaking with an accent? You started and I thought about a pedicure. I followed you. You just assumed that you needed an accent.

Oh, I wasn't hot at all talking about my feet. But then I got hot right there. Oh, my God, you're so red. I got fun. That made me laugh hard. Your neck is, your face is so red. The DJ said,

why are we talking with an accent? I got really tickled. The difference between your legs and your face is right? There's a new voice on the show. Carson's here. Hi, Carson. I'm here. I'm not the spotter of anybody.

Your neck is her shirt called a red. I can't help, but I got tickled, dude. When I get tickled that happened. I don't think it. I don't think anyone tickled you. That's what we call it. What is that? It means I laughed a lot.

L-O-Led in your terms, young people. God. And I got on a dick hat. That made it worse. I'm sweating. You don't have to take his shirt off in a second. No. No, there's not telling what you'll see there either.

Are you okay now? Did you pee? I'm cooling down. Did you pee some? I actually don't pee if I get real tickled. I toot. No one needed to know that. That would it is for next time.

So thank God I didn't get that tingled. Okay. So your truck race wasn't very fun, was it? Mine I finished 10th. Yeah, it was a challenge, though, wasn't it? Yeah. Didn't you have a penalty or something to come back? I got a penalty for passing to early before start finish.

You might have had more penalties this weekend. Can you believe that? You had more penalties this weekend than I've. You've had your career? Yeah. I think the best was when Clint and over an interview, he was like, yeah, but I wasn't paying attention to what my father said. I was like, yep, sounds about right.

Yeah, yeah. So, my had pulled out of line too early before start, finishing, and I mean, he even said it was really mistake. And that's something they watch for big time now. Oh, yeah, yeah. And, you know, you just got to count it down. And I was telling him where the line was, but he was already going around the guy. And I told him.

It's too late. I told the crew chief on Channel 2. I said, we're probably in trouble. And we were. But Clint's deal. So they come down and they're running pit road speed. He gets a penalty, right? And he gets his penalty for speeding.

So we tell him. And he's leading the race, of course. So you're like, hey, you got a pit for speeding. What? What did you say? And I'm like, you are speeding. We have to do a pass-through penalty. No, that way.

Un-ffin-reel. So he goes meltdown mode. And I'm like, you still got to serve the penalty. We got to do a pass-through. Do not speed, or we will get a stop-and-go penalty if you speed again. What does he do? He speeds again. He leaves pit road.

NASCAR keys up the mic. It is right away, too. I was like, post the 14. Too fast exiting. I was like. Yeah, then they're like, you got to do a stop and go now. And I don't want to tell him. Like, I don't want to be the guy that has tell him, but I'm the guy that.

So I key up again. I go, hey, man, you sped again, we got to do a stop and go. Unbelievable. He has another meltdown. You guys have to communicate with me. What am I doing wrong? You're speeding. Speeding, maybe?

You're still speeding. So then he comes down pit road and he has to do a stop and go penalty. I tell him, the crew chief tells him he gets on pit road and he drives right by the pit box. He gone, gone. I mean, so now, that's, so we've pitted, we've served a penalty, we've served another penalty, and we still have to come back down pit road. But you still haven't served your penalty. So this is our fourth trip down pit road under one stage, under one cycle of pit stops.

And I'm like, you have to pit again and you have to stop in the pit box. I don't understand what y'all want me to do. And finally, bugger the crew chief is like, come into the pit stall, stop and go, stop and go, stop and go. And I'm like, oh, my God, this is, this is unbelievable. We were just leading the race eight seconds ago, and this all happened. And so he comes down, and we come off pit road, and we're only two and a half laps down, and we've got a crazy fast car. And somehow or another, we go from two laps down to the lucky dog, all in one pit cycle,

and we're back in the lead lap. With a caution fell, it was like perfect timing. I looked down, I'm like, who's like, oh, you got to be kidding. Like, they stayed out, which. That's always the game plan at that point when you're trying to make up laps. You normally always run it long, make up as much time. You want the caution to come out then because then you're gaining all that time. Yes.

And that's when it fell right. You had a fast enough car to get back to that spot. So, yeah, that's not a way you want to run a race. So, yes, we were having trouble on our Channel 1 radio. And so we didn't have Channel 1. Driver speeding. We had, our Channel 1 was Channel 2. So typically what Bug and I used for Channel 2, we use the Xfinity Series Channel 2.

So it was probably a good weekend that nobody could really listen to what was going on on our other channel because it was, we were trying to figure out what he couldn't figure out. You know what? I think one thing is, I think you guess. I think it was Section 14 the first time. It's both times. It's a little bitty section. So there's the camera line, and then it's from the camera line out to the yellow line where you can take off and run around the apron.

It's a real short segment. I was slowing. Every time Joey would get to that point, I would slow them down because we noticed in practice a lot of guys on the pit road. They were all speeding in that section. So we slowed our section 14 down every time, no matter what, just because it's not worth it to go back and have to make up. And you got lucky to get that caution when you did. But it's almost impossible to make up two, three laps. I mean, it's hard.

It's very hard. Very hard to do. But we did it. You finished fifth? Yeah, I don't know how. And honestly, you know, our conference. car, we drove from last to fourth in line. We obviously weren't running fourth, but we drove from last to fourth two laps down legitimately before pit stops started. That's how fast we were. And then after that

pit stop, when we got back on the lead lap, we made some changes to the car. Cloud cover rolled in, and we were never as good as we were to start the race. I saw you level off around fifth or six there after a while. I mean, Stuart Hoss should have ran one, two, three, one, two, three, four in those two stages had Eric not had wheels come loose and we not screwed up. But as cloud cover, came in for whatever reason, all of our cars slowed down. Yeah. It was fun. It's a hell of a race, man.

They did a good job. There's a lot of different lanes, obviously. You can use a lot of different lanes. Honestly, in three and four, there was two lanes. You were right on a line or you were by the wall. If you went through that middle, you were, it was like no man's land in the middle of the racetrack. You were toast.

Yeah. So Casey and Carson, what did y'all do all weekend? You all had like a little endeavor. Road trip? Yeah. We went midget racing. Yeah. Was it fun?

Yeah, it was fun. We raced at Macon on Saturday night, and then we got rained out Sunday night at Lincoln. It's fun except for the 10-hour drive home. Did you drive? Heck no. No way. But I was on the night shift with Billy. I had to talk to Billy for like four hours, five hours to keep them away.

She grabbed a red bowl and some snacks, and she sat in the front. I cleaned out the gas station. I really did. So they trust you to drive the race car, but not the rig. Oh, I don't even trust myself to drive that. I feel like I would wreck some people. There's a lot of road hours in midget racing and dirt racing. I know, especially when the closest one is eight hours away.

What's your next one? We're trying to put one in the middle of August at Macon again, but for sure the next one will be at Lake of the Ozarks Speedway in September. That's in Missouri? Where's that at? I want to go to that one. Lake of the Ozarks. Yeah.

I like that place. September 1st and 2nd. And then I'm going to run that one in the middle of IMS that they're doing. Oh, you are cool. The IndyriiS, which is that next week. Which is the week after you? Oh, yeah, yeah. Awesome.

I wouldn't even come home. No. I don't think they are. I think they're going to just stay. That's fun. And you're riding and running chat boat stuff? Yeah. Billy Boat's such good dude.

Is he like the car owner? Who's the car owner? Is it Billy or Chad? Chad's the car owner. I thought he said yesterday you were the car owner. Well, actually, when we get married, I get half. You do. Technically, I own Carson's car.

Oh, that's so true. Oh, yeah. We decided she's my car owner. That's so true. Yeah, I'm really the car owner. I make the decisions. So now we know why you're getting married. But he, I guess for right now, he owns the car and maintains it.

And then Billy helps. Billy's the crew guy, actually. It's kind of weird. Yeah. Chad tells him what to do. No way. Oh, yeah. How does that go over?

I mean, let's be real. Yeah. He trusts them, yeah. What do you want to do? They just look at each other. What do you want to do? It's got to be cheaper than at Xfinity stuff when he ran that. Oh, yeah.

Yeah. Wasn't it him at Charlotte that slid down through the grass twice in the same weekend and ripped the nose off the car? Was that him? That was a rough one. Oh, I'll bet. Yeah. T.J. loves to bring up your good times in life. Yeah.

Especially when his friends said it was my fault because that was a distraction that weekend. Like, I just remember that was like a big, everyone was tweeting that weekend about getting rid of the bringing the failings back because like when you get in the grass, it just rips the whole. It literally ripped the front of his race car off. Yeah. I mean, just by spinning out through the grass. I mean, really? And I didn't know that was Casey's fault. It's good to know that now.

Apparently. I know it. It's always my fault. But now that I own the team, it's Chad's fault all day. Why did you make it rain Sunday? Honestly, I think we could have got that race. They called it way too early. But the track was so wet already.

It would have been fine. It was like five o'clock. Carson's sitting there like every time a cloud moves. She's like, I see someone. I was trying to be so optimistic. I was. I think they canceled it so quickly because summer now. The Hell Tour was running with us, and they had a rain day on Monday that they could race.

So I think they just went ahead and was like, okay, let's not waste everyone's time. And so Summer Nationals gets to run, but we don't. Well, dang. No, after we until September to race again. So you're not running anything? Well, I'll run like the go-cart. I run the go-kart Wednesday, and then one more time, and then I go to school, so I won't race it again. So when you get to school, can we say where you're going to school?

Yeah. Okay, where are you going? I'm going to Indiana University in Indianapolis. I'm going to I-U-I-U-I. Okay, so are you living on campus? Now I got an apartment on Capitol Street. You're already spoiled. You're listening to this.

I got a scholarship. You're supposed to be in a dorm. Might as well. No. And she's like in real talk, that school, it doesn't have, they don't have a lot of on-campus living. So if you applied later than like a certain time, there's no way you were going to get it anyways. Yeah.

So I applied to college late overall. So there is no way I was making it. How did you pick there? How did you pick this? That's where you wanted to go. Well, you know Katie, that used to do. motor mouth with us. So she goes there.

And I think she has one more semester left or something like that. She's almost done. And then, like, I was really honestly picking between, like, Ole Miss, Alabama and there. And if I would have gone to those other two, it would have been completely new, like, I would have not known anybody. And then it'd be, like, I'd be close to racing and I have a lot of friends there. And, like, the school's right in the city. And it's not like a huge school, but it's not a real, real tiny school.

It's like a good size. So I'm excited. That's cool. I can tell you're excited. So any advice for her? Just wait until you get there. I did college advice from you guys. The apartment's by yourself.

Yep, just me. That's the whole reason I didn't want to live in a dorm too. I don't want to be with, I don't want to live with somebody. It doesn't like people. I like my own space. Yeah. My own cleanly. So the rule number one, to pass, you must go to class.

In order to pass, you must go to class. That's true. Rule number two is when you have say in your schedule, never ever take a class on Friday, and if you have to, don't do it Friday morning. Because I promise you Thursday night is going to be party night. Okay. Why is Thursday night party night? Great drink specials.

I don't know why, but in every college town, it is. And Indy's fun anyway. Yeah. Indy's got a great downtown. So. Indy downtown is pretty fun. Step number three is get a really good fake ID. So you can get in all the bars.

I'm so sorry for your mom right now. What? I'm just trying to get her good advice. That way she's going to have fun. I don't condone any of this. The first thing was to make good grades and now the last thing is to have fun. You got to have fun. Okay.

There's a rule. Anything goes in college. Like there's one time in your life where if you're going to try it. It's college. I think you should go to class, go home, eat dinner, sleep, and then get up and go to class, you eat my ramen noodles, go to cheer. You think college is hard, and then when you get out and you get in the real world? I can't do anything too crazy. Y'all'll get kicked off the cheer team or something like that. I'm not saying get arrested. I know, but I'm just saying, like, if you get arrested. I feel like that kind of thing, I feel like that stuff

just leads to badness. But if you get arrested, you're going to have a fake idea and you're going to give them that, and then they're going to book you as that person. So carcinologists, her whole life is going to stay clean. It's a felony if you have a fake ID that doesn't even have your name on it. What if they're not going to know? I'm going to get a felony, which is worse than what I probably got arrested for. Rule number three was get a really good fake ID. They're not going to know it's fake.

Yeah, McLeodvin. They're the police. Go with that one. They're the police. I feel like they're going to know if it's fake. They're not going to know. You'll be fine. Okay, well, I'll call you to bail me out.

Well, they're going to know now. Yeah. So take Casey's and give her a record. Do you look kind of alike? Yeah. She could pass for 30. She could be like, look, I'm 30. Wow, that's so mean.

I'm kidding on. Rood. So spot on, spot off. Yeah, seriously. Fake IDs. Spot off. So back to you. Are you going to be able to race much the next four years or what are you going to do?

So I have those couple left when I get there. And then we're trying to figure out something. I want to run as much as possible in the midget next year. And you'll be in a good geographic location to do that. I won't. I mean, what, the farthest one away is probably. You won't have to drive like 14 hours. Yeah.

Far this one away, it would be Chili Bowl, probably in Oklahoma. Or, well, California. And you've got to try that once. I know you've been before. You got to try that once. I know. Well, I think we'll probably run it. Is your dad the one that decides if you're ready or your mom or both or what?

Well, I mean, this past year, we just couldn't really put it all together in time. And dad also didn't want my first midget race to be Chili Bowl. But now that I'll have some races, I think that it'll be fine. Yeah. Cool. Well, we'll be following you. pulling for you and tell me. I got to count when you guys come to indie if you ever need to couch.

Yeah. Indie race. Yeah. Only if you got a fake. Only. Yeah. College is fun. It's going to be the best four years of your life.

And like you're not going to realize it until later. And you're going to look back and you'd be like, dang, I had it made. Shoot, even high school, you'll look back and be like, man, that was easy. So did I. You think, yeah. You say that now. People say that high school is like the best time of your life. And honestly, it sucked.

It sucked for me. It was so terrible. Like, there was nothing fun about it. I liked it. It was fun. I thought mine. I don't know. Whatever.

College is way better. So basically don't follow any of the rules that. What? The first rule was the best one. You got to go to class. You just said to go to class. He didn't say to like actually do anything with it. You said you have to pass.

Go to class. None on Fridays. Get a fake. Get drunk. If you get arrested. Give them your fake. What's the point of having a fake? To go to bar.

Because she's living by herself. She's got to go somewhere to meet people. I didn't say it get drawn, but I say get a fake. You can't get in the bars unless you're holding on. You have to get a fake to meet people. Anyway, sorry. I got distracted. I can't believe that conversation.

I can't believe my mom let me come on this. Oh, she's probably going to regret it. I take no part of this. You are never going to be invited back on. I have taken no part of this. Anytime you just might not be able to come back. Honestly, Brett might be fired after this one. Won't be the first time.

All right. Spot on. Spot off. First one, Kyle Bush does a crybaby face to the camera following his win. Did y'all see this? Did I get to talk during this? Yes, you're in. You do.

You're in. You're spot on or spot off or his crybaby face. Wait, you have to tell me what that means because I've never done this before. So spot on, you like it. Spot off, you don't like it, and you say why either way. Do you agree with it? Spot off. I don't agree with it.

I don't like that. I just didn't like it. It just made me mad. It was just like why? Do you think, have you ever looked back on anything that you've done? Because you've been racing a long time. You've been on TV. you had your own TV show.

Do you ever look back and go, God, I look stupid doing that. Yes. Like, I think when I saw that and I saw him doing that. I do that more with like racing. Like when I like retaliate, I'm like, why did I do that? So I saw this and I was like, what are you doing?

And then the next thing I thought was when you see yourself doing this, are you still going to think this was funny or cool? Because I just didn't like it. I mean, I thought that we just saw a phenomenal race. And then the guy who won that was the hero that was the, I mean, he's the villain hero, the winner, the whatever. Like, just the one that came out on top of that.

Yeah, so I was major spot off for it. I just had a vision of his, of his son seeing him get mad one time and being like, oh, daddy. That'd be kind of funny. Yeah.

I don't, whatever. To me, that fits him. That's Kyle. That's typical. Yeah, I really didn't expect anything different, but that's the... T.J. loves Kyle. He has a whole wardrobe of...

He's a shrine. Yeah. He's played this role for a long time, and he's not backing down from it, obviously. I kind of, we all knew it was going to happen going into three. I mean, he hit the wall himself. He drove in there so hard after him. You know, I don't, I agree that there should have been a little context. You know, I don't blame him for that, but I don't think he looked, I don't think it looked good for him after the race, but.

I don't think I've ever done that in my life. I think I have me either. I mean, I guess I'm going to do it now. Yeah. Like, I just, I would never. Don't look great. His was so dramatic, too. Like, he's just,

and then he, like, kissed the crowd after he was booing him. He loves getting booed for that. So, I mean, when he comes out to his, uh, he's done it when he's come out for driver intro. Yeah. He does all the time. So this does not surprise me. He's done the crybaby thing before?

No. He just embraces, like, the boo that he get. No, he's done it coming out for driver intro. When they've booed him before, he's done. Oh, he has. Yeah. Yeah. He has.

seen it. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Oh. So, yeah. I think there's going to come a time he's going to look back and he's going to go. I look dumb.

Yeah. Maybe. Maybe not. Maybe he never thinks that. I don't know how he doesn't think that every day. All right. Casually dressed Dale versus suit and tie Dale. Man, I got to go.

I got to go spot on for Dale Jr. being Dell Jr. You know, I've been in a position where we did photo shoot. with him and we gave him a golf shirt and he looked at it like I'm not putting on a golf shirt and he rolled out and he was like this is a big deal that I'm wearing a collar I mean we all know Dale Jr. wants to be in a t-shirt I mean when you look at all the interviews he did over the years when he wasn't in the race car when you look at the sponsor stuff he has made for when he's a in Xfinity race day and he's a team owner he's not in a dress shirt like Richard Childress Roger Penske he's not in a golf shirt he's the bill Belichick of our sport in terms of he's the Brett

far. Like he's going to be dressed like he wants to dress and that's a t-shirt. I got huge respect for that. I will say this, though, I'm really surprised at how much he was on TV this weekend. And I'm a little bit disappointed in how much he's on TV if they keep him on TV that much because to me, the big thing they have is putting Dell Jr. on TV on Sunday to do the cup race. If I watch him in practice, I'll watch him in qualifying. I watch him in the Xfinity race. By the time Sunday gets here, if I'm a fan, I kind of think I'm over the lure of Dell Jr. being on TV. I think for it to be elite for the fans, that perspective that he has, and I heard he did a phenomenal job.

Obviously, we were racing and working and not watching. But for me, like, I want to see him only be on the cut broadcast. Spot on, spot off what he's wearing, T.J., where you got? I mean, I wouldn't know to be any other way. I mean, I'm spot on for it. I think it brings another aspect to it. Just, I'm for it. You think he's more comfortable dressed casual?

Yeah, by far. But he's also seeing him come through that lobby. Chicago is really nice. They have a pretty big open lobby there with a couple seats or whatever. And there's not a whole lot of traffic through there. So we can go in there and kind of gather sun when it was really hot. But to see them guys come through there to go to the booth. He stopped every single time.

Every single time he stopped and walked over to me and said hi to people and other spotters and stuff. Like he hadn't seen it in a long time. Yeah. Yeah. Even guys at a spot of him before. You know, he saw Stevie Reeves, went up to see and say, hey, Stevie, how are you doing, man? Like, and these guys are all impressed by him, you know, this, this Dell Jr. that you see now. You know, he's, he knows these guys' names. He knows, Andy, he, remember racing with Andy Euston, you know, or racing around him or some of his family members back in the day. And it's just fun to see. I mean, I think it's, I think it's unique.

And I think it's, I think it's off to a good start. How many times have you seen it? have dressed up in your life? His wedding? His wedding? I mean, really, never. Like, family gatherings, like, you know, people wear dress and Dale still in his t-shirt. I mean, he really...

I've seen him, he's dressed up quite. I mean, yeah, but like... I've seen him go to a lot of sponsor stuff, though, a lot of racetrack stuff. I've seen him dressed up for that stuff. Yeah, stuff that he has to be dressed up for. But, like, for other reasons, he's just in a T-shirt. Yeah. He's not walking out of his shirt with a button-down shirt on...

Which is what... He gets stiff in a collared shirt. You can just tell. I want to see him in an area where he's comfortable. If it's a t-shirt, put him in TV on a thing. Ranglers? You know? Honestly, it brings, like you said, it brings a new aspect to the broadcast.

I feel like there are a lot of the people being critical of it. How many people at home and how many people in the stands that are watching this race, whether it be live or on TV, are sitting there in a collared shirt? I'm serious. So why do they care what he's wearing? It's not about what he's got on. He's talking. It's like, it's about if it's.

does a good job on the broadcaster. What he has to say, it does not matter if he's wearing a shirt with a collar or not. That's my point. The NBC probably has this big image they want to uphold, but the fans don't care. I don't care what he's wearing. As long as he's wearing a shirt. And I think it's more relatable. Like, oh, he, Dale Jr. is in TV on a t-shirt.

I'm sitting on my couch wearing a t-shirt. I understand the other side of it. If you're on TV, you're dressed up. Most of them, I mean, that's the, you know, if you're getting ready, even to go on there if you're doing an interview, you dress up, you look good or whatever. But, I mean, if this is, I think, like, being. casual till Sunday is perfectly fine. Eric Omerolo

wins first career stage. Spot on, spot off. T.J. says he won't win a race, but he's making progress. Okay. That's all you got to say. All right, man, he drove a great first half of the race there. Obviously, they had some problems,

and couldn't overcome him to get back to the front. But, you know, spot on for him, you know, winning that stage and earning that win, It happened, things happened, what stage you do in? The very first one? One of the first one. Yeah, and that's, they obviously. Was leading the second one and got a loose wheel.

Yeah, they obviously, and I saw him make a pass. Did he pass the four? Yeah, I saw him pass the four. So, you know, a great start for the race. You know, hopefully they can, hopefully that gives him some momentum and he can build off that. That's the first time he's been as fast as the other three Stuart Hoskars. You know, we're all up there running up front. So a big, big stage win for him.

Noticeably fast. All of them cars were super fast. Very unfortunate. He didn't get a better finish to the race. I think he finished around 20th after two loose wheels, one of which was so late you can't really come back from it. But I think he's a new guy on the radar for a guy that, I mean, he's pointwise in a really good position to make this playoff. And he's a guy that you have to at least talk about.

I mean, a year ago, we wouldn't have dared talk about Eric Amarola. Yeah, for sure. I don't really have anything because I was asleep I didn't watch that happen so thanks you're just like Jason sometimes

I didn't watch race I was at a car show we were driving no no no she was working on the car during this time we were servicing she was working on the car we were servicing

we were servicing in the car wash parking lot which I was actually asleep but I got there at the end of it You did this is okay She held a wrench

it worked Y'all gang up. Everything I saw on Twitter, y'all were just sitting around most of the time. Y'all could have been watching. I mean, that was me. I'm okay with that. No, no, no, no. The picture I saw, you were sitting on a jack.

Oh, because we were waiting on the rain. It wasn't. Oh, the one Kenny Walls posted. I'm just saying. We were unloaded. Car was ready to go because we... When was that? That was yesterday at like 4 o'clock.

Oh, right when we... Like, that had been right during the race. No, the race was over. We watched the last two laps. Yeah, we watched the last two lapsed. If it was right after. It was right after. It had been three there, so.

We were estimating the time. So what were you doing 30 minutes before you said on the jack? She's working on the car. No, we watched the end of the race. Oh, yeah. She did watch the end of the race. She said, can I put on the last two laps? And then I was like, yeah, sure.

Thank God you did. I know, because now I know what I think you talk about. Yeah. Anyway. Paul Menard said he drank pickle juice to rehydrate after the economy race. Spot on. I love pickle juice. Ew, that is disgusting.

Cannot do it. I love pickles, pickle juice, olives. She drinks vinegar. I don't just drink vinegar. Like the cleaning vinegar? No. I don't just pour a glass of vinegar. You did say you like vinegar.

Did you know a shot of apple cider vinegar is like good for you? And it's hot. It's spicy hot. It is really good for your blood pressure. It's good for you. Yeah. Old people do that. And Carson.

That is really good for you, though. She's not lying. So I had never had pickle juice. And Shane who works here who does PR for Elliot, we're at a bar and she's like, let's take a pickleback. And I'm like, what? She's like a pickleback. So you drink Jameson and then you chase it with pickle juice.

And it's become my favorite shot. So I'm a big fan of pickle juice. So Paul Menard, man, thank you for making pickle juice famous. What does pickle juice have to do with rehydrating? Because the salt in it, like, I guess that's when my mom said something about the salt. Wouldn't you want to avoid salt? You started that sentence like you were going to really know what you were talking about. And you ended it with nothing.

It faded super. A forever. Because it's got the salt in it. And my mom said, it's like, I think we should call your mom on a speaker phone here and be like, what's pickle juice do for rehydrated? I know, I guess. I think you said, like, salt. It was a salt. She's dropping knowledge.

I mean, and then she just. I thought salt was like the opposite of hydrating. I don't know. We'll have to look this up. Dang, why'd you ask her that, T. Hold on. I'm going to Google it. I thought she knew.

Well, I did know. Have you even ever had it? No. Because my mom said. I'm not a big, like, I don't like dill pickles. So I probably wouldn't like, it's not a pickle. It's a pickle juice. But it's probably the same taste.

But you probably don't like the texture of a pickle. In fact, the electrolytes found in the juice can hydrate your body after intense physical exertion faster than the average sports drink. There's your answer. Electroly. The same is true before a workout helps prevent painful muscle cramps often caused by dehydration due to decrease sodium levels. So it's the salt and your sodium levels and the electrolytes. Who knew Paul and I was outsmarting all of us? Mm-hmm.

Here everyone's drinking that baby drink and all sorts of stuff. At Millbridge, where we race, they have frozen pickle juice like a jello shot thing, but it's like pickle juice. So good. Yeah. Frozen people keeps you hydrated on a hot summer day. Apparently. Just St. Paul Menard can now come out and release a pickle juice and put it in all his stores.

Menards pickle juice. Monarch pickle. Next. Brennan pool suing. You're going to leave that one, huh? I have to take it one step too far. Let that one right there. Um, Brennan Poole suing CGR and ex-agent over losing sponsor.

Isn't there two ends in that or one? Brennan. Brennan? Yeah, there's two ends. That's so sorry. That's Breinin. He just got back. I wrote this at like one in the morning.

Early morning. Why are you also like? Chicago land. He was in Chicago. I saw him yesterday. It's like to do with anything. It's like flight. Why are you so critical?

Every time. He just jumps on people. You can't work on the flight. I did. I wrote this at 1 a.m. Working on the flight. Okay. I'll let you slide on.

Brennan. Brennan Poole here. We get the point. I'm really interested in seeing how this turns out. Yeah, I mean, here's the thing. We don't know everything yet. We haven't seen these contracts. I've been a part of some of these situations,

and it all depends on how the agreement was in place. What we do know is that Brennan Poole had a really good ride for two and a half years and had some good runs, had a chance to win races, finished second to Elliott at one of those Talladega races, and he's no longer with Gannasi. and he's obviously bitter about it. And if he has a leg to stand on, they'll end up settling out of court,

and he'll end up getting a little bit of money out of this. And if they don't have a leg to stand on, it'll go to trial and he'll lose. I would not be surprised if we don't hear about this much more. If it kind of just goes away. If it goes away, then that means he got a little bit of money, and it went away. But the team released a really, really, really stern statement.

Yes. It basically said that Brennan Poole is wrong in his allegations and we're going to prove you prove him wrong and that he wasn't a very good driver they made a couple of the notes in there that i probably wouldn't have made like we're the best exfinity series team or whatever they said that he drove forward that he should have been yeah well i said he failed to win a race and failed to do all this stuff but which i don't yeah look just go to court with facts and facts i mean if you just go don't it's fun to watch attorneys take jabs though i enjoy that so but if we if we'd seen this we'd know but more about it but here's a guy that was

had a job, and he's bitter about it. I get it. Yeah, I mean, I get it too. And this is, this thing, this has kind of been happening. Things like this have been kind of happening for a while. So it's not surprising to me this kind of came up now. Roush kind of set the table for this back in the day because they would sign a driver for five years.

And they would sign a sponsor for six years. And then they would have in the driver's contract a no solicitation clause with a sponsorship, which meant if the driver left the team, he could not take any of their sponsors with him. So if you're at Roush in their heyday and they had everything from John Deere to Cheerios to whatever else, if you left that race team, the next year the team that you drove for,

under no circumstance could those logos appear on your car or you were in violation of your driver agreement and they had the ability to sue you. So that was really the first race team that I saw align themselves that way. And we were at teams. I mean, we saw Del Jarrett leave Robert Yates Racing and take UPS with him to Michael Waltrip racing. We've seen other drivers like Elliot Sadler have an alignment with OneMay Financial.

So obviously when he gets to a race team, he's not going to sign a contract that says he can't leave and one may no longer be his sponsor because he's the one that's made that relationship happen. But if the team has a sponsor, for example, if Elliott left here, he couldn't leave here and go drive for another team and Brant be on the car next year per his driver agreement now. So it just it's the way that teams and drivers insulate themselves. us seeing this, we don't know all the hints and outs of it. Interesting. Yeah.

All right, let's take a break. This is your Exaenta Race Center update. I'm Matthew Dillner. The only thing hotter than the steamy weather in Chicago this weekend was the on-track action at Chicago Land Speedway. On Friday night, John Hunter Nebuchek looked to be on his way to a win until he ran out of gas on the final lap, handing the checkered flag to Brett Muppet. On Saturday, Kyle Larson took the win in a dominating performance.

Elliot Sather was the top finisher for Junior Motorsports. with a sixth place effort. A spectacular race on Sunday was kicked off by a Cup series finish for the ages. Kyle Larson attempted a last-lap slide job on Kyle Busch that led to contact and then retaliation from Bush on the final corner. Bush came out on top in a dramatic finish to win his fifth race of the season. This week, the Cup and Xfinity Series hauled down to Daytona for a July 4th doubleheader. The Junior Motorsports late model team was in action this weekend at South Carolina's Myrtle Beach

Speedway, third generation driver Jagger Jones, the son of PJ and grandson of the legendary Parnelli Jones, scored the W in his debut for the team. This has been your Exalta Race Center update.

It's like we never left. Carson will be answering a few of these questions, too. I'll give them each 30 seconds, and let's see if they can actually answer in time. Do you actually time me?

Yeah, there's a dinger. Yeah. The dinger. When that happens, stop talking. There's a ding-dong. Nobody actually does. We don't even really listen to Jason on that. I'm going to keep hitting in until you stop talking.

You should use the vomit one this time. Ew, please don't, because I literally will. I can hit it. No. Oh, I definitely would hit it sometimes during the show. little bit. All right. When he said,

when he said, Menard's pickle, he needed to throw up on. Next time. We're talking about pickle juice. Pickle juice. We are talking about

pickle juice. Salty pickle juice. It just gets brother and brother. What did I get myself in? If Casey would just start the damn show right here, we would be fine. You keep coming up with different comments.

Okay. Let's go in the fast lane here. Kyle Larson got Kyle Busch on the final lap, attempted a slide job, and passed Bush on the backstretch before he made contact, and spun Larson in turn four for the win. That was the toughest one to explain. Was this the best finish to a cup race in the last five years? No, the best finish was Martinsville. Then the second best finish was Michigan. So this may be the third best finish that we've seen in the last five years. I mean, let's be honest, here's a track surface that created a lot of great racing, and the drivers

lived up to the hype. They went out there, they race their guts out. They were doing everything they could to win the race, knocking each other in a wall, hitting each other in the ass, sending each other up the track. Kyle Larson's spinning out, Kyle Busch wins a race. Like, you can't have more drama for the last two laps than those guys provided. It's definitely a good finish.

Anytime two guys can race like that or there's a little contact on both ends. And luckily, I say it was a good finish because both of them were able to go across the line first and second still where they were respectively running before any contact was made. So I think it was a great finish. I don't know if it was the third best finish. And it's not the best finish in five years. I don't know if it's the best finish in five years. I mean, when I think of the finish, I think of the start finish line.

Like how close it was. It was one of the best finishes in history in the last two laps, but it's not one of the best finishes in the last five years. I mean, ex-finery race at Daytona was pretty close. Yeah, well, it says cup race. I'll give Jason that. That's not even your turn to talk in your talking. I know. Sorry.

Story of my life. Your turn. I don't, I haven't paid enough attention to know if it's the last best finish in the last five years. Do you watch racing? I don't have a reason to anymore. Like, I mean, I don't know. It was cool. She watched it.

I was there. Yeah, I watched it. We turned on the last two last night. So your answer is no. No what? My answer is I don't know because I don't pay enough attention. She thinks it was great, right? It was great.

It was great. But she doesn't know about like to come. Compare. Hey, this next one's going to be good for her to answer. Go ahead. Okay. Carson's first. Oh, gosh.

Kurt Bush was angry with how Kevin Harvick raced him for stage two victory. Should drivers be that aggressive when going for a stage win? Okay, I actually, thanks to Twitter, I did see this happen. Yeah. Wow. Yeah. I just heard Kurt's Inc. When he's like, I would never expect that from a teammate.

A teammate. A teammate. Nate. You're not going to use the answer. Should drivers? No, I can't. Should the drivers be that aggressive when going, sure. Your 30 seconds starts now.

Don't you get points for that? Yeah. Yeah, so you should be aggressive and get all your points you can and just, I mean, you shouldn't like be stupid and wreck each other, but I mean, you should race hard. It's entertaining. People want to watch that, right? Look at me. It was your 30 seconds.

I won't know. Right on time. You were looking at me like you wanted me to say yes or no and agree with you. Brett was like trying. I was dying inside. You've wasted 10 years already go. Yes, they're supposed to be this aggressive racing for stage wins. The guy gets 10 points toward his regular season.

He gets a playoff point, which we all know is a big deal. Kevin's trying to lock himself into homestead by getting all these playoff points. Kurt Bush, he drove around his outside. Bush throws a complete tipper tantrum. And that's awesome. That's great TV. The racing was great TV. That's what made this race so good.

If these guys don't race like this to end these stages, then stage racing sucks. Yeah, that's a point to it. This is what creates stage racing being good, and it's going to be the same way at Daytona this weekend. These guys are going to race that hard. But when we're on a track service like Michigan that you can't race and be close, you're not going to see this. We saw this because the track surface, the tire, and ultimately the driver's busting their butts behind the wheel. I really stop yawning. Don't know why.

Well, you were – that was way more than 30 seconds. We're talking about exciting stuff. Is your timer working? I have no idea why you would be mad. That's what the stages are. built for. They're supposed to be something to race for. There's a goal at the end of this. There's a green checker at the end of it for a reason.

You want all the stage points you can get. We race hard. When you're in the top ten, you're racing hard for seventh. You know, you're doing everything you can get. I don't understand why he would think you would race the other way. He didn't do anything dirty. I was going to say he didn't really rough him up.

He just drove around him. Yeah, I don't know why. If you don't want him to go around, you go faster. You talk than TJ's 36. Well, because y'all said it's okay. So now I'm going to be. You're ejected. She needs to come back every week, please.

No, we would, Brett would get fired. Why would I get fired? Maybe she'll be replacing Brett. Yeah. You fired on this show. Yeah, you fired. Because you have dirty feet. The Daytona 500 produced chaos and Talladega remained fairly calm.

What kind of restrictor plate race will we see on Saturday night at Daytona? T.J. Daytona's a lot narrower. Daytona's going to be, it's going to be tough. There's going to be, you just never know. I think Daytona could turn into what Talladega was. You get somebody up front that can control it really well. It's going to be hard to get around without guys working together.

That's why you want to, you want to be leading near the end because when guys start race behind, it becomes easier to keep the leads. So that's, you saw about being, you know, who's going to race. behind you at the right time, are they going to work together? Obviously, at Talladega, two teammates pass each other and kind of took both their chances away from, you know, possibly winning the race. But I think you could see, I think you could see, could be one of the other. Could be one of the other.

I don't have anything to say. That was awesome. That was a great contribution right there. I really don't. I mean, I don't know. You're a female. You have something to say. Just say it.

What kind of restraint. race what we see? I don't know. I probably won't even watch it. That's not fun. At least make something up that sounds fun. Yeah. Give me something to say.

Say there'll probably be a big one. They'll probably be a big one. Done. Yeah, there'll be a big crash. Mike drop. All right. Brett. Handling is going to come into play early in the race as it cools off.

It probably won't be as important as it will the first half, which means you've got to miss the big one. one that Carson just predicted with so much assertiveness. And obviously we know who we're racing here. We're racing those Penske cars. They've been so good in the draft for so many years. So I think it just comes down to being in the right place, right time. You can do the side job here at Daytona and pull it off, though.

You can't do that in Talladega, really. So, you know, handling's going to be a big deal. Hopefully tire wear is present. I mean, this asphalt's gotten old enough now to where hopefully that comes into play. But it's going to be a great race, period. Hey, Carson, I think you should watch. I will probably. I was just...

You all know about the... Here's a good one for you, Carson. The off-the-wall topic? I was going to say, you got one? With the Fourth of July on Wednesday, what's your favorite way to celebrate the holiday? Why are you looking at me? You can go first now.

You skip the last one. She doesn't ever tell anybody once it's their turn. You just have to read the paper. I'm going to celebrate with my fake ID with... Yeah. Go in the class. What are you going to do? Tickle your pickle shots or what?

Whatever you call them. Pickleback. Picklebacks? So I believe that July 4th should be celebrated for two days. I believe July 4th should be celebrated on the lake. I believe July 4th Eve. Yeah. Well, at least half day on the third.

On the third is when you could do it like how it's like New Year's. Like you can stay up in July 4th Eve. So one of the fireworks. One of the fireworks? I mean, everyone was doing it this weekend. The 3rd and the 4th. The 3rd at 9. So which one is the official?

But with it being on a Wednesday, do you celebrate, like, this past weekend? Here's what's really ironic. We saw fireworks. People were celebrating. Here's what we're getting shot at my parking lot. Here's the weird thing is I just surveyed all my buddies. I'm like, hey, we're going out on the boat. We're going to have cocktails.

It's July 4th. We're celebrating America's Independence. What do y'all want? And they're like, margaritas. I'm like, that's Cinco de Mayo. You're on the wrong damn holiday. We got to drink Mudwiser. We got to drink something American.

Yeah. You know? Yeah, American. I was probably still. Drink a margaria. Let's get American beers. Like shout to keeler or something. What's your favorite way to celebrate the holiday?

It's always been the beach for me. I mean, that's the way I grew up. But now with the schedule, it is on the lake. I go on the lake tomorrow all day. The fourth, I'll go on the lake for a little while. I'll go to the pool. We race on the fourth, so I'm going tomorrow. Yeah.

Be fun with your fake ID. Oh, yeah. How about you, TJ? Where are you celebrating? My favorite way to celebrate the holiday would be fireworks, of course. Are you lighting any off? I heard you were giving some away or something. I was trying to give something a dog to give to you, so you guys are getting some trouble.

Do you think if we launch fireworks from my boat if something goes wrong if my boat would catch on fire? Probably, yeah. I don't think so. My dad has a bunch. I probably shouldn't even say this because it's probably illegal. We do this all the time on the show. But my dad has a bunch that he bought in like Montana out there, like where they do like the super duper big ones. Yeah.

And so there's probably going to be some day. You can just drive to the border down here. Where are you going to set those? good ones too. Well, it was like this kind of deal where, like, he goes up into the fireworks store and he goes, I want those. And she goes, well, I can't sell you those. But you see that car out there, they just go out there.

So he goes out there. And he's like, well, I can't sell you those either. He goes, but what I can do is like, if you want to give me some gas money, you know, you can have these fireworks here. That's shady. Yeah. Like, I don't know if I'd want them. I think Jimmy's doorbells ringing right now.

He's getting ready to get arrested. I just told John. Y'all said I could say it. You just got him in trouble. No, no, it's fine. They're not. It's fine. He traded gas money.

It's legal. Oh, yeah, it was gas money. He didn't sell them. So what did you end up doing with the fireworks? Nothing. I got them. I'll probably shoot something off. Yeah.

Casey, what are you doing? I don't think your boa catch on fire. You're in a lake. Your water surrounds you. What's the worst could happen? We jump off. Exactly. I feel like it could still catch on fire.

It has like engines. The carpet is what I would be afraid would catch on fire. Well, that's why you bring like a big piece of... Well, that's that too. You bring, just bring a piece of cardboard to set them on or something. Yeah, because that definitely won't catch on fire. I mean, there's... The cardboard is not going to catch on fire from a firework.

I need like a piece of aluminum or something. Not a cardboard. I mean, it's not going to catch on fire either way. Pour gas on the cardboard first. I guess we'll find out on the fit. I mean, it would probably catch on fire then. Then, I'm catching on fire on Lake Norman. Yeah, it'll be on the news.

It'll be on, like, see it in the end of something. We'll see Brett's bow on fire in the middle of the lake. We would use pallets with plywood across them. It's flat, and you'd never catch on fire. Nothing. I mean, what's dangerous is where it comes down. If one comes down still and it still got some hot ambers in or something like that. I thought it was embers.

That's what I said? Amber. Amber? Who's Amber? I said ass on that. Ambers. Who's amber? So anyway, yeah.

Casey, what are you doing? I will be on the lake, too. Yeah. Well, we'll just see each other out there. If I see a boat on fire, I'll know it's Brett. Probably not. I don't know. I don't know he went on the lake, except for Brett, I guess.

But his boat will be on fire, so I can't go on that one. What is suggested? Just look for me on a look for news. I'm not going to lie. If you go on the lake, you better wear pants for sure. You'll get moonburn on them white legs. Hey, I got, I survived Chicago without too much sunburn. You were in the media center the entire time.

I was outside for most of Saturday, and that was the hottest one. Saturday was the hottest day. Yeah. It was pretty hot. Yeah. Heat indexed of 160. He looked like one of them guys. Dude, I drank water like it was going out of style at the race track.

Mike Davis did. Yeah, he said, I have to tell you to suck it up. Yeah, he said, he was like, they're probably in the bitch about how bad it was and how hot it was. What was Mike Davis doing in Chicago? With Dale. Oh, really? Instagram storying. Yeah, Instagram story.

Is that, is that? We got 10,000 followers on Instagram now. So the, Dale went to the Cubs game, all sorts of stuff. Mike went to the Cup game Dale Broadcasting. This looked like a Mike Davis mini vacations would it look like to me. It definitely was. Oh, I need to go with you to help you in Chicago, my favorite city where my favorite baseball team plays. Oh, I need to go.

Yeah. I bet if Dell Jr. went to Alabama, Mike would want to go too. Man, I really need to go and help this weekend. I'm going to go to the museum. Museum? Museum? With Amber. The museum.

I was going to say with Amber. Yeah. So Carson taught TJ and I something today. Uh-oh. There's something called Finsta. Oh. Finsta. Yeah.

So for you parents out there. Well, technically Jason did it. Jason did it? Yeah, sorry. You dropped knowledge? I'm just trying to help these parents find their kids fake Instagrams. So fake Instagrams are called Finsta. Yeah, I didn't know that.

Tell us what they do with them again. I mean, some people do it and they post bad things that they don't want their parents. Like, they just let certain, they make them private and they let certain people follow them. Can you show us some? I don't. Actually, I could. So if Casey says. sister won't let her on her fence if niki won't let kacey her own sister on her fenced

what does that mean she's doing on that she's doing something scandin actually what's concerning is it's my little sister who's 15 so i don't really some people just do it because like okay for example like for somebody like me like on my twitter i can't really tweet about anything except racing or whatever so like someone would make but on your fenceda but you wouldn't i wouldn't necessarily make a fence at a post like bad stuff i would just make a fenceda to where i could be be normal, you know? Some people do things like that, but then most people just do it so they can post outrageous things. Did you use a fake email address to sign up?

I don't have one. Jason, do you have one? Who has a fake email? I would not be surprised if he's got one. I've got my regular Instagram. That's where I post all my stuff. What about a, what is a fake Twitter called? Fitter?

Twitter. Do you have a fake Twitter account? Don't have a fake Twitter. A burner. That one guy got fired over his fake Twitter account. Yeah, he's got to be careful with double-downs. He was the GM of a basketball team, and he kept tweeting out from another account all the stuff that was going to happen with the team. What an idiot.

I don't know how you lost your last job, but it's how you're going to lose this one. What are you thinking? You're the GM of a basketball team. You have a great gig, and you're going to create a fake Twitter account to do something stupid. To leak information about your own job? You don't deserve the job. I feel like that's asking to just. be fired.

Yeah. Yeah. What an idiot. That's not good. All right. All right. Ask DBC. Copeland, Zach, wants to know how much do you think the temperature helped racing this weekend?

And should that race remain at this point in the schedule moving forward? All I know is it was hot and miserable. I think the temperature always helps a little bit when it's hot. But that track's already got characteristic of moving around different lanes. It's abrasive. The racetrack's abrasive. So if you come there with a decent tire that will wear out a little bit to an abrasive racetrack, you're going to have that type of racing.

The temperature slows the cars down, and that's what we've been screaming on this show. Give them more horsepower, slow them down in the center of the corner. When it's hot, that's what happens. That's why you saw such a good race yesterday. It's also why we should not run any mile and a halfs at night. So this guy's on to something. Velocity 88X asks, what does NASCAR need to do to help make these finishes more exciting like this one.

I mean, NASCAR can't do anything. They've done already done everything, right? I mean, they've given you, in my opinion, one of the better role changes in the history of the sport, which was double file restarts. They've given you stages. I mean, they've constantly changed to provide you with better racing. And I mean, the racing is a lot better now than it was when I got here in 1999.

And I watched Jeff Burton lead every lap at New Hampshire. In the start age of 1999. And Dale Jarrett lead every lap at Michigan in 2000. And I mean, you know, the racing is in all three series, I think, is really good. People need that are bitching about the racing, have never watched many races because the product on the track is good. You know, I think some of the tracks have to do what Fontana and what Atlanta and what Chicago have done. And that's just leave the racing service alone. Don't repave it.

Don't screw with it. We're getting ready to go to Kentucky. For some reason, repave got into a guy. It was because of tax breaks. they had these tax breaks written into these laws. And what happened is the tax breaks were going to expire because the legislatures that got into those particular offices was going to kill the tax breaks for new asphalt. So when you repaved your track, you got all this tax incentive to be able to write off 100% of the asphalt in the first year, two years, three years. So you had accelerated depreciation, which helped the track get a lot of their money back on the spin.

So they did it because it was the cheapest time for them to do it from a tax perspective. and it all happened right there together. Pocono, Kentucky, Kansas. We could go on and on and on down the list, and all those racetracks it's just taking that much longer for the racing to get back multi-groves. You know, it's just the way it is.

That was like the most intricate, smart thing I think I've ever heard Brett say. That whole explanation. Yeah, you don't list to our show every week. And there's one moment every week where I got so bored driving the indie two weeks ago that I started listening to Doors. Bumper Clear podcast.

We were the last. We were your last resort. Thanks. I ran out of music to listen to. I was like, thanks for thinking of us. You're welcome. So sweet.

I'll listen to this one. Yeah, I'm sure you will. Yeah, you want to hear if we talk about your chins. Nike asks, what are three albums and soundtracks or compilations don't count that really define you or have shaped you as a person? What's a compilation? I'll put together like a bunch of songs together. Yeah.

Like a remix album? Like a whole bunch of like... Like a whole bunch of like... Yeah. Like give me an example. Like have you ever listened to like cheer competition music? Hey, greatest NASCAR finish is compilation. That's what it would be.

It'd take all the finishes and put them in a order. Just put them in a run down. So basically pick your favorite album that like has defined you. Yeah, like color me bad. This is three albums. Well, first of all, it's going to be Michael Jackson's thriller or whatever. How did you know? I did know.

I feel like this is going to turn into a history lesson for me. I would say it would be Michael Jackson for him. Michael Jackson Thriller for absolute sure. Yeah, that's... Yeah, I mean, that changed the world. Garth Brooks. Bon Jovi. Bon Jovi's...

Damn it, slippery when wet. And Guns and Roses' appetite for destruction. No Garth or whoever? Those are the three that were awesome. Now, Run DMC, Beastie Boys. They put out some really good stuff too, but I wouldn't put them in my top three albums. I don't think they defined to me

or shape me as a person, but I thought they were three badass albums. And look, I know Drake and all these people are putting out crazy stuff now that people that are Carson's age are going to probably think are awesome. Boy, mine's going to... Drake's new album's actually really good. And I listen to all that stuff, too, you know. But I am to the point in my life where stuff comes on the radio

and my kids are singing every word, and I go, oh, my God, turn it off. This is not music. A lot of the songs that are new these days are annoying. And I'm like, I'm my mom. My mom used to say that. What happened? I'm old. Mine are going to be.

What are your three? Three albums? I'd probably say I had a Steve Miller band, cassette tape when I was young, and I listened to all the... You know what that is? A cassette tape. Do you know what that is? You know what that is? Exactly.

I know what a cassette tape is. I'd say that. It's kind of a toss-up between... I would probably say that Stone Temple Pilots... That's a good one. STP? Yeah, they were pretty good. And any, man, there's so many to pick from back then.

You've got to pick three. You got one to go. Boy. Takes just as long as pick his picks each week. Public enemy. I would probably say something like the Beastie Boys or something back then. That was really when I listened to a lot of music back. That's what was what I listened to.

Carson. Three albums that have changed their life. Justin Bieber. Changed my life. Their life defining. Or like that are like me. I think just it's, I don't know. I have like three moods.

Okay, I got like George straight. Yeah. And then I go to like something sassy. So I would say. What's sassy? Like just some fun like dancing, like hip music. Yeah, yeah. And then.

Nice head shake there. Huh? Head shake. Yeah. And then if you want to get in your feels. So I have to, so I would say. Get in your what? In your feels like when you're sad.

And you like get in your feels. Like getting your feels. Like what? You know? when you listen to music. Does anyone else know what I'm talking about? She's touching some spot on her chest, and she's saying, get in my feelings.

Oh, get in my heart. Okay. Well, you were saying getting my feels, and you were touching your chest bone, and I don't know what the hell feel. I thought you're talking about feeling a guy. Oh, God. This is what I deal with each week.

Did you know what getting your feels meant? Yes. Did you know what it meant? You're just a little too old, right. Did you know what getting your feels meant? I haven't heard. in your feels, but I've heard, like, hit me in the fields and stuff like that.

Hit me in the fields. I've heard, like, yeah. Oh, it's your, oh, gosh. Yeah. So what is your get in the fields music? What is your go-to get in the fields? It's too current for you guys to even understand. What is it?

You know, that send me your location guy, that song, sing it. That sounds creepy. Your location that's, you know, it's on the radio. Like, Rich Saneh. It's Khalid. Oh yeah, I know, did. Yeah, that's probably my like... Send me your location.

My vibe music, vibey. So I'd have been like Richard Marks or somebody back in the day. George Michael. Sure. Yeah. That sounds about right. Yeah. Sure.

Yeah. So George Strait, Khalid, and... I would say, oh gosh, I don't know. I like to listen. I don't know. I just... I really can't believe you're not saying like Justin Bieber or somebody like that. Oh, you know who I really like right now is Luke Combs.

Yes. Yeah. He's really good right now. DBC picks. Getting your feels. What's your three albums? Oh, you might as well join us. Garth is definitely one.

Post Malone. That's my third one. Yeah, he's good too. I really like yellow card and fallout boy back in the day. I don't know why I loved them. And I'm going to regret saying this. So, Brittany. It's Britney.

Spirit. I mean, as a child, yeah. Which Britney, though. Ballheaded Brittany or a little girl, Brittany. Hit me baby one more time, Britney. Hit me baby one more time, Brittany. I saw that one more time in Vegas. Me too.

Yeah, I saw Hit me baby one more time. Maybe you guys were the same concert. Hit the MGM. Yes. I was there too. I was there. I was not there. Front row center.

I was definitely not. I was probably like two. Probably. I like Brittany. I didn't like ballhead Brittany. No. She's got her act together now. Yeah, I don't care about her act.

I mean, you could be you, right? If you go and won't go get hooked on crack rock and act idiotic, that's up to you. She just went through a little bit of a tough spot. But the music is what I'm talking about, like her music. Were you still in high school when she first came out? You had to be really close. I don't think so, dude. What year would that have been?

I don't think how it was in the late 90s when she first came out. So I wasn't even thought of. You were like minus 10 and then late 90s. It was like negative seven years old. And she was like on every cover, every magazine. I think I probably was out of college and the whole year. What year did you graduate? 97 from college, 93 from high school.

Oh, yeah. Jesus, you are old. It's been ready at your exit of college. Like TLC and all that was big. Oh, yeah. And that was obviously way before. Color me bad. Don't they sing no scrubs?

Yes. You don't want. I love like 90s and 2000. Don't go chase in waterfalls. Yeah. That one chick burn her boyfriend's house down. Yeah. Wow.

Yeah. She didn't want no scrub. She was dating Andre Rising, the football player for the falcons. I remember that. No scrub. She burned his house down? They got to have a house down. Did she get arrested or something?

Yeah. I would hope so. But I was in like the Mary J. Blige, like getting my feels. Was it with a firework? She was a with a firework. What's even funnier is how you're talking about In My Feelings. I was listening to Drake's album on my way here and guess what song? In My Feelings.

There you go. I like that part where he says, I don't love nobody by my beard and my mama. Okay. That's like so two months ago. I love that line. That's like the one line of the one line. You love me, I tell her only part. I only love my bed and my mama.

I'm sorry. That is the best line of any song in the last two years. Wow, that's a stretch. You guys are scared. No, he's a dude and he's saying, I'm sorry. I don't really love you. I only love my bed and my mama. Like, that's pretty...

That's pretty... That's pretty... That's pretty... That's pretty 20-year-oldish. And I'm not 20, but it's pretty funny. Yeah, clearly. Definitely not. I think it's funny.

Not if your favorite album's thriller. You're clearly not 20. You're easily double. 20. I'm over double 20. What do we got to do? DBC picks. Minard. What is that?

Monard. They pick for the upcoming race. And this is here. I'll take Joey Logano. That's a solid pick. You really went out on the limb there, Carson. Nice. I appreciate it.
