Starting point is 00:01:27 The mystery has not been solved. Are you a screamer? Are you a screamer? No. That's how we're going to start this. Welcome to door bumper clear. That's not me screaming. I have never said that ever.
Starting point is 00:01:42 Oh, that's not. Yeah. So Dale Jr. is a screamer. Yeah. Me. We have proof. Okay. I'm just trying to confirm who is and isn't a screamer.
Starting point is 00:01:50 I'm T.J. Majors. And 22, Spotter. Joining me back from one. One. Mobile trip. Gwen Stefani concert. Crazy life in Vegas. Man, Brett Griffin, Spotted for Clint Boy this weekend.
Starting point is 00:02:04 We have a special co-host. The only advice I'm going to give you, Hannah, before you, I give you the mic to introduce yourself is don't suck. Don't suck. That's the only preface? That's it. Yeah. We're good then.
Starting point is 00:02:14 I feel like we're okay. Good. But yeah, no, thanks for having me on, guys. Excited to be here. I mean, I guess you guys preface with what you do. Work for Motor Racing Network, pit reporter for a truck and Xfinity, washed up race car driver, which is how I ended up there as well. And then side hustle is touch up in detail pain during the week for dealerships all over Charlotte.
Starting point is 00:02:33 So it keeps me busy. But no, I'm excited to be here. So you just showed us a scar on your arm from, I'm guessing, a wreck and a race car? Yeah. So you weren't kidding. You really are washed up. What's the picture? Yeah, no, like really am washed up.
Starting point is 00:02:46 So are you done done? Are you going to try to drive again sometime? You see, it kind of worked out to where my weekends got filled up pretty quick with working. So I'm going to try and get back to Idaho once or twice this year to race a super late model. Idaho? Yeah, yeah. Someone made it out of potato state, believe it or not. There are people that live there.
Starting point is 00:03:03 It's not a government conspiracy. Are you from Idaho? Yeah, born and raised. Okay. I like Boise State's field. The Blue Turf. Yeah. Also, I'm a huge pickaboo street fan.
Starting point is 00:03:13 I hate that field. A bigaboo Street. Peekaboo Street. Oh, my God, you never heard of her? Oh, her? That's her? Right. Okay, it's not.
Starting point is 00:03:21 I'm heartbroken. She's like one of the best female skiers ever. Oh, well, yeah, I don't ski. I snowboard. I mean, like, she's like the Lindsey Vaughn from Lindsay Vonn ago. You know what I mean? Sure. She's not.
Starting point is 00:03:32 You know who Lindsay Vaughn is? I know who Lindsay Vaughn is. Oh, he does? Yeah, something. I don't blame her. Is that Tiger's X? Is it? I think so.
Starting point is 00:03:41 I don't know. She's real hot. Yeah, it's like. She's like the real pretty blonde one, right? She's like really like announced her retirement or something. Yes. Yeah, she keeps falling. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:51 She's really good though. She's won like everything you can win. Yeah, like Olympics, right? Yeah, that's cool. No. No, yeah. Not the Olympics, yeah. But she's a skier, right?
Starting point is 00:03:59 Jesus. Yes, the Olympics. Wait. That was stark. I'm done. Are you serious? What else do you ski in? Someone else is being roasted today.
Starting point is 00:04:08 I love it. Oh, you already going to quit. We just started. I'm good. I'm good. I'm good. We're good. Casey's been fired like three times.
Starting point is 00:04:13 So you're allowed to quit at least three times during this show. Casey ever say what she said to do? She's in Philadelphia. Oh, well. Home of Xfinity. I bet she's having a meeting. Philly's a fun town. Hmm.
Starting point is 00:04:26 You ever been to Philly, T.J.? I have been to Philly. You know what? I don't know if I've ever been downtown Philly. Hey, so before we jump into this thing, Freddie Kraft, the retweet contest that you guys did in my absence, he made it. So he's got to get on here and get his beer belly out. And does he like have to shake it and do all that stuff?
Starting point is 00:04:45 Yes. That's reenacting the scene. Yeah. So should we do that? You need to do like a side by side. I'm going to stand in the doorway and be like, go on and do it. Come on, let me in. We won't let him in until he doesn't.
Starting point is 00:04:56 Maybe that'll be his entrance. So do we do that next Monday after Fontana? I don't see. Why not? We need to do it soon. Who's going to design what's on his belly? I already asked if I can sponsor the belly button. I mean.
Starting point is 00:05:12 We got to paint. something on there. We do actually. He may not give us a say, though, because it's his belly. But I feel like he lost, so like, therefore, it's all up. We could just do another contest. We could just do another contest. So what do you call that, the truffle shuffle? You've never heard of it?
Starting point is 00:05:29 Yeah, I had forgot that I heard of it. You've never seen the movie. I was going to say, we just had a conversation about not having seen the goonies. You know, that's where the kid wants in the house. Yeah, is it Corey Field? Which one? What's Corey Haim or Corey Feldman's at the, at the, at the, doorway, one of them. One of them. So, uh, the kid in from mouth from the movie is what his name is,
Starting point is 00:05:48 but, you know, they won't let him in the house. So how long does Freddy have to shake his belly? I know. Five, ten seconds? That's all? How long do you want them to do it? I think we need to video it in real time. And I think we need a video it separately in slow mode. That's what I was thinking. So we can really get the movement. I don't really want to see it, but I think the internet deserves it. So here's why we got to hurry. I'm doing because he's on this, this dumb keto diet thing, right? So he's trying to lose all this weight. So we got to do it before he gets skinny. Okay.
Starting point is 00:06:15 You know what I mean? We got to do it next week. We got to do it next Monday. Yeah, we have to. And then the Monday after that, Jason and Martinsville, Bob Pocker said he'd come on here with us because he's getting ready to move, relocate, leave Charlotte. I'm not going to tell you where he's going because it may not be any of my business. But the Monday after Martinsville, we'll have Pockie on here. Maybe he can do some Picklesback shots.
Starting point is 00:06:33 Hopefully he doesn't hit a deer on the way back. Yeah. Because last time we went to Martin's will hit a deer. Yeah, he did. He's got the best hair in the media. Pockris. I love that guy's hair. I like all those raincoats.
Starting point is 00:06:43 Yeah. Windbreakers. I know. Yeah. Anyway, so. Hannah, you have to keep us on track or we'll just keep talking. I know. They told me that's my goal and I'm not good at that because I'll continue to chime in.
Starting point is 00:06:54 You've already been fired once. Yeah, well, I got two more times. So we're good. This might be the second already. I quit the first time, okay? I know, really. I first want to hear about Clint's airplane ride back. That video went pretty viral.
Starting point is 00:07:06 So Clint, I'm going to tell you guys exactly how it went down. And I'm really sorry that I'm about to throw a couple guys under the bus. But we were sitting there on the plane and we get there. And our trainer gets on the plane and says, look, there's a guy on the 41 that has a confirmed case of the flu. We're going to put him in the very back. I'm like, perfect where everybody goes to pee at. We all walk right by there. So we're going to put him in the very back.
Starting point is 00:07:29 And he's going to fly with you guys for four and a half hours. And we hope that nobody else gets the flu. But here's a mask if you want to wear it. So, of course, we're all like, yeah, give me a mask. I'm trying to avoid getting the flu for three weeks. My whole house has had it, literally. So Clint's sitting there, and he's got this dumb-ass-looking mask on, and he's wired after a race, right?
Starting point is 00:07:47 So he's sitting there, well, all of a sudden, he clicks on this David Reagan tweet, and David Reagan standing in front of a plane telling everybody about his day. And Clint looks at me, and he's like, please promise me, you'll never make me do anything like that. And I say, well, actually, I think with you wearing this mask that we should do a post-race update. So he just fires off and candidly tells the fact that, and we're, and we're just, We're not supposed to drink on these planes. Like, we have a no drinking policy. And he rats out the guy behind us, Justice, our IT guy, and says, yeah, we got a bottle
Starting point is 00:08:16 of Crown Royal on here, and there might be some of my solo cup. So it was adjacent to your point, just literally a last minute. Hey, let's do this. This sounds fun. The PR guy, Mike Arning, who's been with Tony Stewart for 20 years. He was like, hey, I don't think it's a good idea to do this. Clint's like, I already hit sin. Sorry, bud.
Starting point is 00:08:31 So that's kind of how that went. Wow. So that's interesting. Two people that are bored. You should get to the plane a little later. take your time getting to the plane from now on. So it ended up the guy that had the flu, you know, I mean, I feel bad for the guy, but I didn't want him on my plane, you know.
Starting point is 00:08:48 He ended up not making it in time, so he got put on another plane. So no flu. So you took your mask off. No flu, though, yeah. So you took your mask off. No flu, yeah. Dustin Long tweeted about it, and then Dale said, well, it's probably T.J. Major's talking about the port of potty on the roof. Oh, so I actually took a picture of it, and I'll send that to you, Jason. You can send it out.
Starting point is 00:09:18 What happened? So we get to some, so here's all we want as spotters. And I think T.J. I agree. But we want a place to park when we get to the roof on the spotter stand. So when we get to the track, we want a gate to be able to get into the track. We want an elevator to be able to take us up, 10, 12 flights, whatever it is that we're going. And then once we get up there, we'd like to have some shade. We're never going to get it. We're just going to stand up there and roast to death. But we have to have somewhere to use the bathroom. And Phoenix, the restrooms are two floors below where we stand. So we can't often take a two-floor break, you know, because cautions sometimes go fast
Starting point is 00:09:54 by the time you do your round of pit stops and you shuffle the stage and all these things. So Phoenix is kind enough to put four porta-potties on top of the roof. So I was like, hey, I'm going to pee. And Clint's like, oh, that's convenient. And I was like, yeah, man, you won't believe this. We got some redneck porta potty set up here. So I guess I didn't know Dustin Long had grabbed it. But yeah, that's kind of what we got.
Starting point is 00:10:14 Yeah, Phoenix is actually one of the better places kind of to have them up there, though. It's quick, convenient, and you're done. How do you think they clean them? Yeah, so that was my thought. And then the thought process of having a porta potty on a roof is like. So they're anchored down. They're anchored down. No, they're anchored down.
Starting point is 00:10:31 No, they're anchored down. but like I will say this they were clean completely clean I mean I don't know they're they're clean like the hand sanitizer was full everything you think we get new ones every time or you think they just leave those up there like they get them they put them out of a helicopter so I was reading the clean dates on them when I was they literally have clean dates like people are I was reading them
Starting point is 00:10:56 they initial and everything right when they go in and like drain them out and clean them right there's and there's sign there's a bunch of them so I know like they're clean so thank you phoenix crazy thank you ism raceway for the porta bodies on the roof and uh yeah it's very convenient and useful so yeah i mean you can blame me for that if you want
Starting point is 00:11:15 blame me for those if you want but it's better than the alternative so i i did you use them during the race yeah how many times just once oh i went like four i i think that race was really long yeah i was ran no that race is short really i was random short but oh you were random so you were real hydrated I was ready to go. So how much notice did you get when you were a random yesterday? Like two hours.
Starting point is 00:11:36 Were you at the track when you got it? Almost like I was on the way. Yeah. So they've changed a random up a little bit on us this year. And I mean like, man, I don't know. I've been twice this year already. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:48 So they don't trust you. Apparently, man. The heck. Good thing you piss excellence. I do. Yeah. Do you ever like fill the cup up? Well, yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:59 Because they're like, if you don't pee to this line, you got to pee again. I'm not yet. It is. And then once you start, just like, oh, I got to get to the line. I got to get, oh, I'm above the line. Oh, man. It is, I'm nervous a little bit. I'm nervous.
Starting point is 00:12:11 Me too, man. I get nervous. Because if you don't fill it up enough, you got to sit there until you go again. Yeah. And it's almost, you're scared. Like, you're nervous. Like, you've got to hit that line. So then the lady tells me, so I go in the preseason, right?
Starting point is 00:12:23 And I get in there and she's like, oh, you're here for a urine sample. I'm like, yeah. She's like, okay, well, here's some orders. I say, okay, cool. she gives me the water. I chug two bottles of water. She says, okay, you ready? I was like, yeah, I mean, I think I'm good.
Starting point is 00:12:36 You know, I might need one more bottle of water. Oh, if you drink too much water, it's too diluted, and you'll have to, I don't know, they'll kick it out. I was like, what does that mean? That's a thing? She said, if you drink too much water, it's going to delete your urine and they're going to kick it out. I'm like, was that mean they weren't to kick me out for drinking too much water. You don't want to hand me the water, lady? Like, so anyway, I guess it was fine.
Starting point is 00:12:55 There's a method to the madness, yeah. Yeah. So I went there and the infield care center is all the way in turn one now. Like all the way in the corner. So I'm like, okay, I got to go. I start walking that way. And by the time I get there, I'm like, oh, yeah, let's go. I go.
Starting point is 00:13:10 I'm like, fifth in line. I'm like, holy cow, this is not going to be good. Yeah. So I'm sitting there. It was like you're stuck in a car, you know, you're riding in Charlotte. And you got, you're going downtown and you got it. You've already been pre-gaming. And you got to go.
Starting point is 00:13:27 It's like, you need to stop. Like pull over beside the interstate right now. Anywhere, but sunset. Yeah. Don't get out of them. Yeah, so, you know, everything, I passed, I think, and went about seven more times throughout the day. So, yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:41 It would be good. Awesome. Glad we got to talk about P. I know. Good job, Jason. You're welcome. Thanks, Jason. All right, spot on, spot off.
Starting point is 00:13:50 Spot on, spot off. Spot on. Spot off. You say spot off on the punch. I'm going spot on. So spot on, you like this, spot off you don't like it, and you say why either way. All right, guys, that first topic obviously went viral on Twitter, something we're obviously all on. Daniel Suarez, Michael McDowell called to the NASCAR hauler after that good old qualifying fight.
Starting point is 00:14:15 What do you got for that? Spot on, I guess. There's going to be some more. There's going to be some more of this stuff because the times are shorter. You don't have as much time, and we're getting ready to go to a track. where you're going to probably want some help again. So we're all going to... It's going to be like taking 40 marbles
Starting point is 00:14:35 and putting them in a funnel into turn one on the apron when we're qualifying. But you're not going to want to be the first one either. So there's a possibility that we might see some more stuff. But this one, in my opinion, could have been prevented.
Starting point is 00:14:50 It probably didn't need to happen. So I think... How could it have been prevented? Just better placement on the track. I mean, he could have... Who you're throwing under the bus here? The driver, the spotter, both? Who you got?
Starting point is 00:15:04 I don't know if the spotter said go and the driver didn't. I don't know what happened here, but. You and Frank Denny are tight now. I know. You might be getting ready to break up. Hey. I know the audio of Daniel's radio was interesting. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:19 So, you know, I don't. When you read his tweets, do you tend to like read them in a Spanish accent? Because I do, man. Like when I was reading this tweet, I was like, just, reading it. I kick your ass, you know? Yeah, I guess. I'm spot off on this whole situation. I'm spot off on NASCAR calling them to the truck unless when they called them in. The first thing they did was gave a high five. It went viral. Because it's a shame that I literally left there and I didn't know who sat on the pole. I didn't know who qualified in the top 10 because all you knew is these
Starting point is 00:15:48 two guys got into a fight. But here's the problem. Right before qualifying started, an Xfinity car lost a motor and he completely oiled down the entire racetrack. And none of us ever want to be the first car out, especially in that scenario. So we have a 10-minute session. We have 40 cars. We're all sitting there waiting until the end. There literally isn't enough time. There isn't enough room. And now we put on just a full-blown shisho. That's just my opinion of what happened. So we were there for, the crew guys were there for eight to 10 hours that day, teching, practicing, teching again, qualifying, just to have it completely turn into a mess, man. So I've never been a big fan of the group qualifying thing for that reason because I always wanted to be man versus machine versus a track one-on-one
Starting point is 00:16:32 no variables let's find out who's got the best car who's the best driver and we've seen two sessions where we don't think that's the case you know we left Vegas where the fastest car didn't sit on the pole the guy who posted the fastest time in qualifying session didn't sit on the pole he got decued the first two as a matter of fact so the guy that was third fastest in the qualifying session sat on the pole because of the trickery that the teams are trying to pull off as a result of the and the parameters that we're put in, it's just a mess. I don't know how we fix it. I don't think it shows its face as much at Fontana.
Starting point is 00:17:05 Once we leave Fontana, we get to Texas, we get to Kentucky, we get to Charlotte. It's going to keep being a complete mess. Yeah, I don't know. With the package the way it is, I don't know if single car qualifying is, I almost think you have to do group qualifying with the 2019 package because if you're wide open, it's like plate race. And I think you might have some teams start manipulating weight. to get into the show, doing things just to relay down a good lap and getting in,
Starting point is 00:17:31 and then making that first pit stop and moving all your adjustments around. You know what I mean? Yeah. But it is different now. I don't know. I mean, it's exciting, I guess. If this were guys fighting for, you know, fourth and fifth, like, hell, yeah, that's awesome. These guys qualify 27th and 28th.
Starting point is 00:17:51 And then we're in the same truck. And they're in the same truck. And who cares? Like, it's entertaining that they're fighting. listen to me. I love it. I'm from Pagerland, South Carolina. Like, we think it's a sport, right? But I'm telling you, it's just like, man, this kind of ain't cool,
Starting point is 00:18:05 you know? I mean, there's going to be opportunity for a lot. What I didn't like about the fight, and I've known Drew Blikensdur for a long time. The foot grab? What I didn't like about the fight was Drew came in from the back, slammed him on the hood, broke it up. I'm totally cool with that. But then he kept him pinned down while his
Starting point is 00:18:21 driver was pulling on his foot, could have been twisting his ankle, could have dropped a elbow in the knee. I mean, when on a fight breaks out, you don't know who's against you, right? I mean, like Drew holding him on the hood, Drew could have started punching Daniel, right? Yeah. So, so to me, the only conversation it should have been had publicly is, hey, when this happens, we're not going to tolerate this. We're not going to do anything to you this time. But from now on, when you guys break this up, you break it up and you stop because for me, I saw continued aggression. And if I'm Daniel, I don't know, I mean, I don't
Starting point is 00:18:48 know what's going to happen. Yeah, I mean, yeah, Daniel's pinned down. That's not really, that's not really fair, you know, either way. If you want to push the guy back and, you know, hey, it's enough, stay over here, blah, blah, blah, but when the other guy's already up coming back after him, somebody push that guy down or somebody hold him back. I mean, Drew's a former wrestler, so I guess he's like trying to get takedown points and all this stuff. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:19:08 Well, I mean, Daniel got one. Yeah, Daniel did get a pretty good little takedown there. Did she Chase his tweet? I just liked how he stood over him after he did it. I know. He did it. I mean, that was kind of cool, too. They're all talking about hiring Daniel as the bodyguard, and Hemerick got on there and said,
Starting point is 00:19:21 yeah, I don't know about that. I think it was Bubba actually that goes, dude, we ain't talking about you, you wimp. Like, wrong Daniel. I think it was Bubba that got on there was like, dude, sorry, but that job offer is not for you. Yeah, that's funny. Did you see Chase's tweet?
Starting point is 00:19:32 No, what was it? Big Tree fall hard. Big Tree fall hard. Oh, that's funny. If I had been Michael McDowell, though, I will say this. I would have totally worn my helmet to drive our intros because he caught so much crap for not taking his helmet off.
Starting point is 00:19:44 Yeah, and then he played to it about he slept in. He should have walked across the stage with his helmet on. That would have been pretty funny. Because they did play Eye of the Tiger. input and that's got to. Yeah. That was awesome. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:54 Too funny. All right. Next one. And you kind of touched on a little bit earlier. The reconfiguration of Phoenix, they moved that start, finish line. It's the second time we've run it past, you know, what was turn two. Some wild restarts, three and four and five wide racing on Sunday. Yeah, they were definitely spot on.
Starting point is 00:20:08 I was fortunate enough during the second stage to be in the front and not have to deal with that. But during the majority of the last stage, it was literally four wide, five wide, your second from the bottom. Like, things were happening. faster and I was being put in scenarios with Clint that I've never been in. I didn't know what to say. I mean, once you say five wide, I'm like, how do you tell him where he's at in this five wide? Because there's a difference when you're making it five wide at Talladega and you know where you're placing yourself and are you know, like it was happening so quick with that bottom lane sucking
Starting point is 00:20:40 so bad on restarts that you were literally saying, I don't know how to explain to him where he's at and how not to get wrecked. And then on top of it, I don't know how there wasn't a big wreck. Yeah, I definitely said things. that I didn't think I would have to say. I think I was one inside, three outside, a couple different times. We were, you know, three outside or four outside. How do you even know what that means when you're in there in the middle of all that? It means don't come up, I guess.
Starting point is 00:21:04 You're just staling? Yeah, it was, you know, I'm spot on it. There's racetrack there, and, you know, guys are, it's exciting. I mean, and kind of, even the knockout qualifying, touchback on that, people are saying that they're enjoying it. You know, they're enjoying the excitement of, especially this weekend is going to be, somebody's probably not going to make it back around because this is a big track. Big track.
Starting point is 00:21:28 So, but yeah, spot on for the racetrack. And I miss the old Phoenix from the short track Phoenix, in my opinion. But, you know, I'm glad there's a, I'm glad there's a race track. I mean, it's exciting. I'll say that. Yeah. Yeah, Phoenix definitely one of my favorites. Now that Harvick says faster speeds aren't always the answer to creating more passing.
Starting point is 00:21:48 This is the first week back that you guys. had the full 750 horsepower? I'm definitely spot on to that. I saw somebody post a video from Bristol a couple weeks ago, and it was Mark Martin and Davey Allison racing side by side or racing. I mean, they were four seconds slower. They were running the Xfinity Bush car or whatever. They were running them, and they were three to four seconds slower
Starting point is 00:22:13 than what we're running now and still having a great race. So speed isn't necessarily the answer to, you know, all the problems. You don't have to go faster to have better racing. You just have to, these cars, I can tell you right now, they are so stuck to the racetrack. It's kind of like slot car racing. I mean, they're just so stuck. It's hard for guys.
Starting point is 00:22:38 They don't have as many moments. They don't have as many big, you know, getting loose moments. They're just stuck to the track. Yeah, I mean, top speeds. are impressive on paper. Top speeds are impressive to me in person. I think what Harvick's alluding to is the faster corner speeds is ultimately overturning. But the part of the quote that made me interested was when he said,
Starting point is 00:23:00 I was seven-tenths faster than the car in front of me, and when I called them, I couldn't pass them. I think that's where NASCAR's got to keep looking at this package and saying, because clearly the package worked on restarts. But once we got spread out, we did the same thing. I mean, at the end of the race, I watch Harvick on new tires, catch Lugano and it took him 30 laps to get by him. He finally passed him with one to go there.
Starting point is 00:23:22 And again, he was three to four tenths a lap faster than Joy Lugano the whole time he was catching him. But once he got within that three four car length window, Harvick was moving around, trying to keep air on his nose, still couldn't get by Joey. So I think there's still a lot of room for improvement there. And man, we'll just have to see how the ball keeps bouncing. Yeah, for sure. All right, last one here.
Starting point is 00:23:42 This was something that was exciting to me. finally they announced Nashville replaces Las Vegas as the host city for the Cup Awards. Head into Music City this year. I've never really been out in Nashville. It's a good time. Yeah, I mean, I never remembered it. It's hard for me to say spot on yet, but I've heard great things about Nashville, so I still wish we would just have it in Charlotte. Here's what I wish.
Starting point is 00:24:10 I wish we would just have the banquet like that week. I don't know why. Like right after Homestead? Yeah, because I think we have a lot of momentum. You know, we obviously are crowning three champions that weekend. I would love to see us go on Monday night or Tuesday night to Nashville. Stop worrying about the TV audience. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:24:25 If you're going to record it and tape it and send it out later, however you want to distribute it, I don't really, obviously that's not my line of work. But I just would worry more about the momentum and the excitement and the party. And I can tell you, man, you know, these guys are going to have a good time in Nashville. I wish they let me assign a bar for each one on to go guest bartend because you could do some really fun promotions in this town. And the cool thing is for teams, it costs a lot of money to travel to Vegas.
Starting point is 00:24:51 We'll travel to Nashville a lot more economically than we would Vegas. But, man, two weeks is a long time to crown a champion, you know? Like post race after Homestead? Yeah. Yeah. I like that idea, like you said, though, of doing it right after just carry the homestead. Everyone's excited, champions hyped to just go right into like a celebration because, you know, depending on who it is.
Starting point is 00:25:11 they might be drunk from Sunday to Tuesday. Absolutely. I don't know. To me, I'm kind of the opposite. I kind of liked the break between it. It just gave you a little bit of time to take a breather after the race and kind of come home, get things organized. And it wasn't, but what was this year?
Starting point is 00:25:32 It wasn't very, it was a week and a half, a couple weeks or something? I think it's going to be longer this time than what it was. Yeah, I mean, I don't know. Jason may have the date over there. and pull up, but I think it's like, once again, I mean, it was like Snowball Derby weekend. So it was like the first weekend of December. Yeah, I think it's, I liked a little bit of a break just because you came home. And this is just from last year's experience.
Starting point is 00:25:54 We, you had a little bit of a chance to, to just catch your breath, come home and, you know, you're, you want to go home. I was excited to go home to see my family. You're talking about you. I'm talking about social media relevance. I'm talking about the fan base relevance. I'm talking about the excitement of the driver. Like, he's almost had a sink in for too long.
Starting point is 00:26:11 Like I want some raw emotion. I want guys up there talking about while it's fresh while they're excited about their off season. Because I can tell you, everybody that I know other than you, two weeks into the off season, the last place they want to be is at a banquet. Yeah, I wouldn't want to leave if I got home two weeks and spent two weeks. It's like I got to go somewhere again. It does make it harder to plan stuff. But, I mean, it was good. I don't want a long break.
Starting point is 00:26:31 But I think, I mean, I don't know, man. It's just nice to get back and get. Our season's already 40 weeks. I also like giving people a chance to, okay, say, race fans, you know, they actually have a couple weeks to, you know what, my driver won the championship, I'm making plans now. I wasn't going to go until, you know, I knew he won. I didn't want to make a trip, but now that he won the championship, I want to go and see him now.
Starting point is 00:26:55 So, and I definitely think Nashville is a more logistical location. Well, that's it. Our fans live around Nashville, right? I mean, we're still a southeastern sport as far as our hardcore fan base. A lot of number one TV market every freaking week, Greensboro, North Carolina. So, I mean, yeah, we've got fans. on the West Coast, and I love those guys. They're passionate about our sport, but we're right where we need to be.
Starting point is 00:27:15 I think Nashville is a smart play. Yeah, I think it'll be a lot of fun. Yeah. All right, we'll keep playing those best of DBC moments during our break when we're all in studio because I think it'll be funnierer when we're all here to reminisce and listen to them. But let's take a break. The Dale Jr. Dad, Jr. Day. Listen up.
Starting point is 00:27:30 When you're done listening to Door Bumper Clear, go listen and subscribe to my podcast, The Dale Junior Downland. This week, we have my old teammates, Steve Park is a guest. You don't want to miss it. Plus, catch us on. TV Tuesday, 5 p.m. on NBC Sports Network. The Dale Jr. download, available on major podcast platform. Del Jr. Down. Dirty mo.
Starting point is 00:27:52 And we are back. We'll head in the fast lane. I'll give these guys three topics pertaining to racing and one that is off the wall. They'll have 30 seconds to respond to each. That's actually not true because Casey's not here. So Hannah is. I know. It's so funny hearing Casey's voice in my head. It's like, I'm going to tell them three questions. And I'm like, that's not my voice. That's not exactly how this is going to go. Hey, guess who I saw this week?
Starting point is 00:28:16 And we're off track. You've probably seen him because... I don't know. No, you've seen him because he travels with y'all. So I'm walking through the garage and I hear this guy go, hey, Brett, what's up? And I look over there and there's this big old tree. I mean, this guy's six foot six just towering over everybody. And I'm like, who the hell's that guy?
Starting point is 00:28:33 And how's he know me? And then I'm like, that's Josh. He shaved. Producer Amish Josh has no facial hair. Yeah. I didn't even recommend, to recognize this guy. I remember when he, I saw him, I think he was shaved in Daytona. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:46 And it was like. So he has to shave. He told me Penske allows no facial hair. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He, um. Do you know Josh Maston?
Starting point is 00:28:54 No. But he's huge. I mean, he is six foot. He's legitimately six foot six, right, T.J. Oh, yeah, probably. So he had always had a beard and we always picked on him. He was our producer the first year we did, DBC, right? Then you upgraded.
Starting point is 00:29:06 Yeah. Man, you know what strange is. No matter what we do, we have a hot co-host. Thank you. Like we're three for three. Not you. You're an analyst or something. Something.
Starting point is 00:29:16 But like every time we get a nice female host, we get the hostess with the moustice. I'll take it. Yeah. I'll take it. All right. I'm sorry, Hannah. No, yeah, you're good. Okay.
Starting point is 00:29:27 So first question here. Again, topic all over Twitter this weekend, especially following Atlanta. Kyle Bush is now one win away from 200 across NASCAR's top three series. Will Bush's feet be more impressive than Richard? Petty's 200 Cup wins. Can you even compare that? No. I don't think you can compare it. I mean, I hate to say that I hate to discount what he's doing, but he was the only cup driver in the Xfinity race on Saturday. You know, when he was, when he was being contested in trucks by other cup guys, you know, like the Keselowski's of the world. I mean, Clint would run occasionally.
Starting point is 00:30:02 I mean, he wasn't candy picking as easy as he is now. And then let me look, look, the guy's going to win 200 races unless something really, really drastic happens between now. And you can't compare winning 200 races to what Richard Petty did. Kyle is going to be the winningest guy in trucks in Xfinity Series history, though, and I think you'll stay that for a long time. Yeah, that was going to be my point exactly. You know, he's got a lot of, not that they were easy wins, but he's not racing the fields, like, that he should, you know,
Starting point is 00:30:29 they're not stacked fields. No. And he's arguably in the best equipment in both of those lower series. Yes, I mean, he had his own team quit driving it because he couldn't win in it. He couldn't win in it. No, five years ago. But Kyle still, I mean, I feel like you could put Kyle in a Formula One car and be competitive still. Kyle can drive the wheels off anything.
Starting point is 00:30:47 He's one of the best drivers ever. Yeah, for sure. Yeah, cool to see him break that record of Ron Hordaids in the trucks. But next question here. Not if you're a Ron Horda, fan. Yeah, yeah. That's what I was thinking. You got a Kyle shirt on?
Starting point is 00:30:59 Do I have a Kyle shirt on? No, no, I do not. Ain't wearing anything else, M&Ms? No. Do you see a Westbrook in the M&M's jacket? Yeah. Yeah, that was cool. That was super cool.
Starting point is 00:31:08 I think that's more than once that he's been like spotted in some like Kyle Busher NASCAR apparel like that too, which is cool. That is cool. Second question here. Joe Gibbs Racing and Team Penske have combined to win 12 of the last 16 cup races. Have they emerged as the top cup organization? You know, I still think we got some figuring out to do with the new car. It's hard to come out of the box with a new car and know everything about it.
Starting point is 00:31:33 So I feel like we came out strong. so I like to keep building on it But as far as being, you know, obviously Gibbs has been They've been, you know, number one, you know, up there for a while. But yeah, I don't know. Fred will have more of opinion than I will. Well, I mean, the question is that they won 12 of the last 16 or have they emerged as the top cup organizations.
Starting point is 00:31:56 I mean, you just answer the question. If they weren't run 112 of the last 16, yeah, they are the top cup organizations. You know, I think it puts pressure on Stuart Haas, who started off the year really strong last year, had all four drivers win to have to turn the key and get up another level here to compete with these two guys. It gives Hendrick and everybody else, just looking at these two companies go,
Starting point is 00:32:17 hey, what are they doing? And you've got to close the gap. And I mean, everybody's working hard, right? But you've got to work smart to catch up. All right, last question here. Oh, wait, TJ's got anything left on that there? Nope. All right, last question here.
Starting point is 00:32:31 The arrow package that will be used for this Sunday's race at Fontana will be the same package from Las Vegas back down on the horsepower. Will it impact the racing with slower speeds on the old surface of Fontana? I'll let me pay attention. Thank you. Will it how will it impact the speeds? Man, you know, I think is we're going so fast through the corners. So I think when you look at what Penske's been able to accomplish at a place like Atlanta
Starting point is 00:32:57 is their straightaway speeds at a place like Vegas, like they're running slower on the straightaways than a lot of guys and they're running a lot faster through the corners, so they're really making up their speed with that downforce and with that handling. We keep hearing guys talking about trimming their cars out, and I think some of us may have trimmed them too far, and Pinsky's obviously, in my opinion,
Starting point is 00:33:16 been the best balance there at these places. I think Fontana is going to be a lot like Atlanta in terms of it's going to eat tires. You know, we went to Vegas last week or Phoenix last week. We saw zero tire wear. The only reason the speed slowed down was because the tire got hot. So I think at a place like Fontana,
Starting point is 00:33:31 we're going to see tire wear, which everybody in this sport going to be a fan of. You're going to be wide open for just a little bit, but that place is abrasive, which is awesome. So that's one of my favorite things to go to a track where the tires actually wear out. You're going to have guys kind of go back to maybe 10, 15 years ago where they're going to try to conserve some tires a little bit. So that's going to come into play. I think more, it's going to be like Atlanta. We have to see more pressure, and I don't know the pressure is the right word, but we have to put ourselves in a situation where tires always wear out.
Starting point is 00:34:08 Tires matter. Tires matter. We don't need to see guys staying out on 20-lap tires at a mile and a half track. And starting with the lead and eight laps later, still be able to lead because that's a problem. That's not what fans are going to want to see from an entertainment perspective. Because we put on a show based on tire. The show and the racing is always better when tires are wearing out. I don't feel like we're far from it.
Starting point is 00:34:31 I don't feel like we're far from it. We need to... We were far from it this weekend. Well, I mean, yeah, but we need to balance between, you know, guys that, okay, I'm going to stay out, maybe I can hold them off. Now there's no doubt. Yeah. There is no doubt.
Starting point is 00:34:45 So, that's something we look forward to, too. I mean, like reporting on, like, our side on pit road, tire strategy. I mean, we're watching everyone when you're coming down pit road. And if you can just stay out that stage because you can stay within your fuel window and you don't have to come down for tires, you ain't coming down and you ain't getting those pit stops and the swapups, like you said. Yeah, I completely agree with it. with that as well.
Starting point is 00:35:03 All right. Thanks for giving us your two cents. Yeah. Yeah, you know what? I'm going to be a spotter. You're fitting right in over here. Oh, Lord. Done.
Starting point is 00:35:10 Done. Off the wall question. A restaurant in Pennsylvania has started using pickles as the bread on sandwiches. Would you rather only be able to eat sandwiches with pickles as bread for the rest of your life or become a vegetarian? And TJ, you get to get this one off. I would not eat pickles. I've never
Starting point is 00:35:31 There's an old saying about pickles Oh boy Oh yeah What's the old saying I don't know Well I don't I'm not a fan of pickles I hate when you go to like
Starting point is 00:35:40 Chick-fil-A and get a sandwich And it has a pickle on it And it just soaks into the bread Then you can It's all mushy Yeah forget that So I would But would you be a vegetarian
Starting point is 00:35:49 Or eat pickles Pickles? Pickles aren't meat though But Right but you would only be able to eat a sandwich With pickles for bread Or be a vegetarian I feel like you could sacrifice sandwiches, right?
Starting point is 00:36:00 Yeah, I would go ahead and just be a vegetarian at that point. You like pickles? Yeah, but I don't like pickles on my sandwiches. I mean either. Like I like pickles and Bloody Mary's, but I don't like pickles. When I go to Chick-fil-A, I literally say no pickles because number one, they have to make my sandwich fresh, and number two, I don't like those green stains on my bread. That's what I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:36:17 You're just mushy on your Chick-Bloy sandwiches. Yeah, but I mean, I eat pickles and I like picklebacks, but I don't eat pickles on sandwiches. What's the old saying? I don't know. All right, we're anti-pickles. Moving on. Goodness. Ask DBC.
Starting point is 00:36:32 Remember you can submit your questions all week long, hashtag ask SBC. All right. First question here from at Knight, K.E. asks, does it make sense that you run a 750 horsepower motor at the small tracks and a 550 horsepower motor at the big tracks? Absolutely. Give them more to little tracks if you want. Make the throttle matter. While it out.
Starting point is 00:36:50 Make the throttle matter. I mean, that's where guys like, that's where guys that are patient and the short track guys that's where that's where they excel is learning like Clint would be I think Clint would be really good with a big motor at a short track I mean I've said that before I mean I think some of these guys are better with more throttle response like a Jimmy Johnson like a Clint Boyer you know the guys that have grown up racing all different styles of of cars not just late models but it almost doesn't make sense I mean you read the question you know let's give them a big motor at a small track yeah and a small motor at a big track uh man that's I don't man I don't man I don't man I
Starting point is 00:37:28 And even reading this question, like if I'm an engine builder, and I used to know that my motors were going to go out and turn 10,000 RPMs, and I had to be able to build something that would run 210 miles an hour getting to the corner at Michigan, 2016 back in the day when they repaved it or something crazy. Like, I mean, we heard Kyle Bush say that drivers had their talent discounted with this package. Or engine builders having their talents discounted with limiting them at 550 horsepower? I don't know the answer to that, but I would love to have a Doug Yates or something. somebody, you know, answer that question.
Starting point is 00:38:00 But for me, man, no, I mean, it kind of doesn't make sense, you know. I mean, what you think? What do I? Oh, am I allowed to time in on this one now? Yeah, you did good on the last one. No, I like, I think you hit the nail on the head, like, give them that throttle, give them the ability because we talk about how, you know, into the race track these cars are, so put them on a small track and make that throttle count, you know, be able to
Starting point is 00:38:20 bust these cars loose, get sideways. So putting them on a smaller environment like that, you know, give them more horsepower because I feel like more horsepower to bigger track isn't as relevant. I'd take more horsepower to bigger track if they weren't stuck. Right. Well, you just said they're driving like slot cars, so the way you do that is you make them go too fast on entry of the corner. Well, I think we need to take some other things away before we get to that point.
Starting point is 00:38:42 Good question. All right. Second question here from the Tyler Gorell asks, after seeing the Suarez-McDowell incident, what is the most memorable incident between drivers or crew members? Hmm. I got, man, it's hard not to go with Ambrose and K. Casey Mears.
Starting point is 00:38:59 I think it's D.W. And who was it? They were fighting when the crews got into it. Oh, that was with Todd Perrin and then back in the day. Rusty Wallace, maybe? Yeah, it was Rusty. Yeah. That's what it was.
Starting point is 00:39:11 That was a good one. In my opinion, that was a good one, yeah. That was a good one. I mean, this was okay. There was just a takedown. It wasn't really, you know, Casey got punched in the base. Ambrose. I mean, Ambrose rocked Casey Mears.
Starting point is 00:39:26 But then when you watched that video, and I want you all to go watch this video right now. Go type in Casey Mears gets rocked by Marcus Ambrose. And after Casey Mears gets rocked, one of Casey Mears's crew guys kind of came in from behind and forearmed Marcus in the back of the head. Not a lot of people saw that. See me being a page in the South Carolina guy, you got to watch out for them guys, head on a swivel. But, man, I don't know that I've seen anybody get rocked harder than Casey Mears did.
Starting point is 00:39:52 Yeah, we haven't. That's the only one that I can remember. There's been some incidents at the airport. There's been some incidents at the hall. Oh, yeah. Jeff Gordon popped somebody at the airport one time. Nice. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:03 And Tony Stewart popped somebody in the truck. There's been stuff happen that didn't get out there. Right, right. Yeah. Atlanta, the motor coach fight from a year and a half ago, a year and two weeks ago. That we don't know nothing about it. We don't know anything about. Nope.
Starting point is 00:40:19 Choke fest ensued in a motorhome on a couch, and they weren't spooning. They were mad at each other. Like, there's just, there's a little. A lot of, but still, even then, I haven't seen anybody get rocked. Driver to driver to driver harder than Casey. I'm trying to remember this. Like, I can't, I can't think of this. I'll have to look this side of us.
Starting point is 00:40:36 I remember Earnhardt one time, choke slamming Rusty in the middle of a practice of like Michigan or somewhere, like in the mid-90s. They got mad at each other and, and he grabbed, I think what they call rusty rubber neck or something. Yeah, that's what they called him from that. So Earnhardt went in there and chokeslamed him, you know, like, solid. Yeah. I mean, like all that stuff's awesome because, I mean, that's passion. I mean, we pour our hearts and souls into this and we get mad. And I'm not saying, you know, I'm not, I'm not saying fighting needs to happen, but I am.
Starting point is 00:41:03 I love it. Well, you know, it's good to see emotion, you know, come out. And I don't, I don't think two crews need to ever really go-go-go. Do you think that Daniel went down there to fight? No, I don't think Daniel went over there to fight. I don't either. Do you see how Michael went straight for his throat? I did kind of see that, yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:23 I mean, at that point. Betts are off. Yeah. someone comes at you, he's had his helmet and Hans on still, too. And if he's coming at you, swinging. Not to mention, he's like six foot for himself. And I like how they had a post-race interview with Soros, too. He's like, I used to fight all the time in middle school.
Starting point is 00:41:38 And then he happened to have that wrestling promo thing that he was doing, too, with the pro wrestler. It all just, like, worked out. Yeah, that was planned. That's awesome. It is pretty good. It is entertaining, though. Right. You know, I mean, people watch hockey for fights.
Starting point is 00:41:53 Right. I've never been to a hockey game. I've only been to one. And the fight made the Today Show on Saturday. Oh, see, there you go. Yeah. Crazy. All right.
Starting point is 00:42:02 Last question here. Are Bindstein asks, if you guys could go back and play a character in any movie, who would it be? Hmm. Man, I think Tom Cruise and Top Gun would be pretty fun. Yeah, he kind of got to do it all, man. He got to race. He got to fly. Motorcycle.
Starting point is 00:42:21 Motorcycle. A chick. Yeah. Had his buddy, man, goose. Volleyball. Volleyball. Yeah. That girl's a doctor too, man.
Starting point is 00:42:30 So like when you quit doing whatever you're doing, you don't have to do anything. That's what I'm saying. That's a gun, done. That's pretty solid, man. Yep, that's me. I don't know, man. Something about Mary, that guy was kind of cool. He had fun.
Starting point is 00:42:44 He had a challenge. Remember the kid that wore the ear muscle beat the crap out of him? Man, I don't know. Any movie. I don't know. Who would you be, Hannah? Are you in a chick flicks or what do you do? I have not a clue.
Starting point is 00:42:58 Rose, Titanic. Frozen Titanic. Dude, she froze to death out there in that water. No, she buried. No, no, no, yeah. She pushed him off a little floating board. Okay, she froze almost to death. Right.
Starting point is 00:43:07 You know, there's still clipping. You can Google that, and there's, like, they showed ways that they could have both laid on the board and they would have both made it, but no. Yeah, it shows how, like, they could have maneuvered both bodies on there in, like, 10 different ways to live. That would be my choice if you don't die at the end. Maybe he won't it out.
Starting point is 00:43:23 Because that was kind of a, I mean. Maybe he wanted out. Is that what you said? Yeah, maybe. I mean, at some point you're like, all right, this sucks. I'm cold. I'm shaking. I'm hungry.
Starting point is 00:43:34 I'm freezing to death. Pull a hero move. I'm jumping in. I'm doing it for you. Yeah. I'm out. Yeah. Oh, man.
Starting point is 00:43:42 Karate kid, man. That was a cool movie. I like be the karate kid. Yeah, but he gets beat up a lot. He does. What's your pick? What's my pick? Man, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:43:52 You keep it classy. No, like I love like footloose. That's one of my all-time favorite movies. So I probably have someone in Footloose. Get a Footloose. Yep, I went dancing on Saturday. Yeah. So, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:44:03 That's a good question. I don't really, like, have a specific movie that sticks out being a chick that I'd be like, that's it. You wouldn't pick, like, Pearl Harbor or something, where there are two dudes are after you. Yeah, no, probably not. Probably not. There's nothing worse than going on iTunes and reading a review and thinking it's a good movie, and you get on the plane and it's, like, some sad movie, and you're crying on a plane, and you're crying on the plane with all these guys around you.
Starting point is 00:44:27 Like, man, I don't know. I got to screen my movies better. Have you seen a Stars born yet? I don't know. I ended up with some movie where they used to date and then they got back together and he got hit by train and then her son got his heart
Starting point is 00:44:38 and I was like, oh, this is terrible. Were you in Clint watching a movie together? No, no. Did you have a mask on? Yeah, blonde with your masks on. They served us bean burritos on that plane. Maybe that's why Clint kept his mask on. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:50 After we knew we were. Bean burritos and a bunch of track guys on a plane for four hours with the flu. That thing should have just been sideline somewhere. Should have just kicked it. Man. All right.
Starting point is 00:45:00 Going on to the rant here. You got anything to ran about? I feel like we rant enough during the show. I don't think I do either. I've been so happy this week. Snowmobiling up. If you guys have never been to the Northwoods of Wisconsin to snowmobile and go up into the Upper Peninsula, it is freaking awesome.
Starting point is 00:45:17 It's groom trails, sled run 100 miles an hour. It's sketch now. Like, it's not for candy ass. I promise you that because it was minus 17 on Wednesday morning when we woke up. But one of the most fun things I've ever done. Have you ever ridden a snow bike? No, but I saw those things. They look super cool.
Starting point is 00:45:34 So back, I'm from Idaho. They've had a ton of snow like Sun Valley area. And that's what my dad does. They have the snow bikes and him and all of his buddies will take off. And it's cool because it's like a snowmobile, but you can go in and out of the trees and like you're not restrained to a trail. I actually like retweet my dad's videos on Twitter all the time of them snow biking. I'm convinced he doesn't work anymore. He's just snow biking.
Starting point is 00:45:54 You know, the snowmobile, I mean, I have a whole new respect for people that do the racing on those things and do the, I mean, everything. They're insane. They're heavy. Yeah. They're not easy to drive. You don't just turn and it turns. Like, you've got to really work your body weight and stuff. So it was, man, it's super fun. And you can't ride with somebody either.
Starting point is 00:46:11 It's impossible to ride somebody out of a snowmobile. For sure. And, but I have a buddy that has a snowmobile. It's called Barant's Outback Adventure. And he does it. I'm not sure the location. of exactly, but he literally rides snowmobiles through the woods,
Starting point is 00:46:27 up the mountains, through the woods, and like I'll show you some pictures of what he does. It is insane what he does. The snow's so deep, too. Like, I, there's, man, I'd stick to trail riding. We did the backcountry stuff in Montana. I've done that a couple of times. It's super fun, but this was a whole different experience.
Starting point is 00:46:42 This was more like riding a Harley, but you're on a motorcycle and it's bumpy and you're, I don't know, it's fun. Did you guys talk about L.A. coming back last week? Oh, no, we should do that. Yeah. I thought about that. Yeah, Elliot announced he's coming out of his full-time retirement to run two races. First race will be Richmond. He's made some pretty funny
Starting point is 00:46:58 videos over the winter about how great retirement life was, eating bacon and eating biscuits and drinking moonshine in the middle of the week. So when we put this deal together, I was like, hey man, you got you got to do another video. He's like, all you want me do? I said, I don't know, you're coming out of retirement. So you've been doing all these wild hair, big bearded, you know, lazy ass, I'm in retirement videos, so do something else. So he did that little video where he was eating a salad. and the tiger's playing, right? Yeah, he says the word water. Water drinks of water.
Starting point is 00:47:26 So he's going to come back and run Richmond and run Vegas. Obviously there was current because the radio was playing. Current. Yeah, they don't call electricity. They call it current. So like when the power goes out, which is how we say it, they go, we don't have no current. And so I literally, the first time I heard it, I was like, man, does there a river around here? Still getting like water powered?
Starting point is 00:47:44 Yeah, like, what's current? But, yeah. So anyway, it's good to see him come back, man. It would be fun. He really wanted to run Richmond and Nutrienex Solutions was kind of to let him kind of pick which ones they want to do. And then Vegas is close to their headquarters. So it's always cool to see those guys kind of bounce in and bounce back out.
Starting point is 00:47:59 Del Jr. is obviously coming back to run. Have they announced that yet? Darlington, yeah. Yeah, they did announce it. Because I think he kind of announced it on Twitter before the team announced it. They say on every extremely broadcast, so it's official. It's, man, it's cool to see those guys come back. Yeah, I'm excited for it.
Starting point is 00:48:16 I could tell. Oh, you said Will's going to come on for a show? Will. So wheel, wheel's been driving some buses around for people. We got to get Will on here, man. Tell some Will stories. So Will's drove Ellie's bus for 20 years, Hannah. He's a complete shit show.
Starting point is 00:48:33 Poor guy. So Talladego one time, we were all at the racetrack. Sunday morning, we have a spotter's meeting at 8.30. I get a text from Will at 8 o'clock saying I can't find the explorer. The explorer was a tow vehicle that we towed behind the bus. So I'm like, man, I got to get Ellie to. I got to get Elliott breakfast because the bus driver isn't here. So I go back there and I wake Elliot up and I always stay in the front of
Starting point is 00:48:56 LA's bus. He stayed in the back. So I go back, wake him up, hey, man, Will can't find the explorer. So of course we're like, what do you mean you can't find the explorer? So I make breakfast. I miss a spotter meeting. About an hour later, Will calls me, hey, man, they found Explorer. I'm like, okay, awesome.
Starting point is 00:49:11 Where is it? It's in the middle of the median between my hotel and the racetrack on I-20. Wait, what? And I'm like, okay, well, Will, that's a lot. That doesn't sound real good. No, no, but I'm headed there now, man, and I'm going to get it. So it gets there. Camera phones were still relatively new, you know, and weren't great by any means,
Starting point is 00:49:29 but we had camera phones. So 10 minutes later, I get a picture of the Explorer, basically wrecked in the middle of the median. Still to this day, I don't know how it got there. But nonetheless, Will gets an explorer. He shows up to work three hours late. So we tell a lot of Will stories. He flooded a whole kind of Minium Complex at Daytona. He won the Southern 500 one.
Starting point is 00:49:49 year in a motor home. So we could go on and on and on. So we want Will to come on here and maybe give his side of the story. Maybe for Richmond's we could try to get on. Yeah, no, it sounds interesting. Because he tells the story that I tell a story a lot better than it really was. But anybody that knows Will knows that's not true. No, you need to hear from him.
Starting point is 00:50:07 Yeah. All right, DVC picks. Man, I think you told Joy to pull over on that last lap and let Kevin go. No, I wanted that point, man. Just so you could win. Kevin finally figured out how to move around and get a good run off the top. So I got to go first. Yeah, TJ finally won a race.
Starting point is 00:50:23 Man, he barely won it. Yeah, I mean, the last lap won it. So I'll take Keselowski. Boy, so I guess I'm going to go to Suarez. Suarez? Yep. Coming off momentum. Coming off.
Starting point is 00:50:36 He needs a good nickname now. What's Fighter in Spanish? What's Fighter in Spanish? I don't know. You can't ask me a question. You don't know, I don't know Spanish. I don't know how to order a beer. You said you read his tweets in Spanish.
Starting point is 00:50:49 My list of Rio and soresa pour-v-voir. The important thing. Yeah. You dang right. It's important. So Fontana, eight-hour flight. Oh, my gosh. Don't you miss Adele Jr. days when you got on that citation and you just flew out there non-stop?
Starting point is 00:51:06 Maybe he'll go this week. Had your own bathroom. Maybe he'll go this week. Had your own seat. Flew free. TV. No, there's no TV. Y'all had freaking Wi-Fi on there.
Starting point is 00:51:17 That's different. You can stream. You can stream. Oh, you're not streaming on that. That new generation stuff, you can. It's like AOL dial-up days. Yes. Welcome.
Starting point is 00:51:28 You got mail. Yep. That's funny. All right, I've got a movie review. Porky's, T.J. made me watch. Oh, you watched it? Yeah. I don't know why.
Starting point is 00:51:36 I'm going to read my review, but it's definitely there's some stuff I can't say on the show. Did you watch it by yourself? Yes. You did? Yeah. Well, I ain't no fun. You should have some chicks over and go that damned teal out I gave you. I was actually at home, so I can only watch this quick.
Starting point is 00:51:48 So in the 1981 comedy film Porky is directed by Bob Clark, the boys of Angel Beach High School, including Kiwi, Tommy, Billy, and Mickey are desperate to come of age and enjoy the more mature ways of life. However, when they try and visit local shoe show named Porkies, they use fake IDs to get in. But then after seeing the adult establishment, what the adult establishment had to offer, they tested their luck by asking Porky for a more private experience and are kicked out and have. their money stolen by Porky himself. And then the film becomes focused on revenging Porky as it builds up to the revenge scene, the boys engage in a number of ill-suited activities. Did you like the movie or not like the movie? I don't know if I'm going to watch Porky's too.
Starting point is 00:52:32 This was your recommendation? TJ's recommendation. Yeah, I mean, you've got to watch this from back. It was funny, but it was like a lot. You were supposed to watch it with a bunch of chicks. He didn't tell you that part? He forgot about that part. Oh, boy.
Starting point is 00:52:45 Terrible advice. Is that the one where the woman in the shower? No. Okay. That's probably two. You got to watch Porky's 2 then. You've got to. That's one of the classic scenes, man.
Starting point is 00:52:58 I watch. I watch Gounies next week, so we're ready for Freddy's Truffle Shuffle. Oh, yeah. So you've never seen Goonies. Nah. So you got to watch that. Yes. I'll watch that one.
Starting point is 00:53:06 So we'll have you do the movie movie review. Can you please cut the review down some next time? 30 seconds. Good Lord. How about you don't take any advice from Dillner anymore and just let us run our show and let him run his. And here he come. Ready, three, two, one. Big tree fall hard.
Starting point is 00:53:25 All right, we're off to Fontana. Yeah, me and Jason, I want to play him in basketball. I really do, for a hundred. A hundred bucks. He said he'd play for a hundred. I saw him hobbling on crutches, though. Jason got a hundred bucks. Well, I'm going to win.
Starting point is 00:53:39 Well, that's why you're going to sponsor him. Got roped in there. I'll put up Jason's hundred bucks. Perfect. This is the size difference. I will block it easy. And Tony Mayhoff also says, We need a referee because TJ will assume he's been fouled every single time.
Starting point is 00:53:54 Here's how much money I got on Jason. 100 bucks. Oh, wait, 3, 4, 3, 4, you tweeted by your money without me. 500 bucks. Six. I like me changing sides here, dog. You realize he got hurt sitting down. We're going big on Jason.
Starting point is 00:54:11 Producer Jason's our guy. Once I'm healed, I'm all good. So I get that if I win. I hit big in Vegas. That's the only reason I got off. Thank you, Jason. Give me a couple months. I'll heal up and then we'll play.
Starting point is 00:54:21 Hey, no, bullshit. You're going to train now. You're going to heal up and you're going to train. Don't worry. I'm pretty good basketball. We got this. Yeah, I heard you're a basketball coach over here too. So you've got this.
Starting point is 00:54:30 We got a undefeated. Yeah, you coach kids. So it works out good, right? I got a kid named Jatio on this eight that could beat T.J. Because he can be me. This kid's a baller. That's different. We're talking about Jason back here.
Starting point is 00:54:40 Look at Jason. Basketball superstar. Six one versus what? No, this kid. Five seven, Jason. I'm ready. I'm ready. Where are we doing this at?
Starting point is 00:54:51 We're doing it at Dale Jr.'s place or we're renting the gym around here. There's a basketball place right here at Tauber Point. We go right over there. Yeah. I don't care. During lunch break or something or whatever, you're not writing up a three-minute movie review. Oof. I don't care who.
