Hey, what's up, DBC fans? If you haven't heard about Anchor, it's the easiest way to make a podcast. Let us explain.
Well, first of all, Freddie, the best part is it's free. There's nothing better than using a free awesome service.
To make the process simple and easy, there's creation tools that allow you to record and edit your podcast right from your phone or computer.
Anchor helps people find your show by distributing the podcast for you so it can be heard on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and many more platforms.
Also, you can make money from your podcast with no.
minimum listenership. I like money.
It's everything you need to make a podcast
in one place. We love using Anchor.
It's a great platform that lets us hear from
the fans and reaction theater with Anchors
leave a message feature. So when you
create your account with Anchor, you
can also utilize their feature
and make your own podcast.
TJ will be your first guest.
So download the free Anchor
app or go to anchor.fm.
to get started. That's
an C-H-O-R.fm.fm.
to get started.
Welcome the door bumper.
clear. I'm Casey Boe, and we had a ton go down in Chicago this past weekend. Here's what we got
lined up to chat about. Alex Bowman scores his first cup victory. Kyle Bush threw a block on Joey
Lugano, which I'm sure T.J. has a ton to talk about on that one. Kevin Harvick scrapes the
wall, and we are about to head to the final July Daytona race. Let's get started.
At T. TJ Majors. This is Brent Griffin. Get ready. Be ready. Be ready. Be ready.
New leader.
I'm watching out for this guy.
White flag.
Hello.
Clear.
Bring home.
Free light.
Coming to the line.
Door.
Bumper.
Clear.
Who!
Hey, everybody.
I'm T.J. Majors.
Spire of the 22 cup car.
9-9 pickup truck.
And I had Xfinity.
You did.
I had the Xfinity 12 this weekend, and we came home second.
I thought you guys were going to win.
Yeah.
Brett Griffin's spotter for a Clint Boyer, Ross Chastain.
I stood beside TJ all weekend.
So.
We were miserable together.
We were like hot twins standing up there.
It was really hot.
You're saying you're hot?
It was hot.
I'm definitely hot.
The exfinery race was hiserable.
I was,
I felt horrible after.
I don't know how people didn't pass out.
Casey.
I wasn't in the sweet.
I was hosting,
I was hosting sailors all day.
So here's the thing about finding Casey on Saturday.
All you had to look for.
Salers.
Navy guys.
They're dressed, but they're dressed in white.
I saw them.
And here's little,
Couldn't miss them.
A little short Casey walking these guys around.
So I was actually in Casey's Xfinity Suite, having chicken tenders with mac and cheese.
What?
Yes.
He is the only person.
Did you put a sweet number in there?
You guys complained.
Yeah, you guys complained about the fact that I did not give you a sweet number.
You didn't before, but if you did now.
And sometimes Freddie will come in there too.
Brett clearly made the most of it.
I wasn't there, so I have no clue.
But we have really good food.
I met two of your coworkers, Dan and Caitlin.
Yes.
Caitlin's from Milwaukee.
She was a great hostess.
Who's Dan?
He is...
Dan the man?
That's what we call him.
Dan the man.
He's kind of new to our team,
so he's only been to like three races.
So Casey, people always wonder what you do.
When you're showing around all these hot guys that were in the Navy,
were there any females in the group?
Yes, there was one.
Okay.
So you got all these hot guys around you.
Like, how do you even consider that a job?
And how does Chad let you do that?
Well, first off, it's not always hosting hot guys every weekend, unfortunately.
But this one was really, really cool.
So you know the NASCAR salutes window.
Comcast does a lot to support the military in general.
So they have an initiative basically hiring veterans to the company, and they offer tons of benefits.
It's really cool.
So at the track this weekend, we,
worked with one of the local bases and brought out 40 military members.
All of them were sailors.
They were either just got back from training or got back from being deployed or they're about to be deployed.
So these guys were the coolest.
They just wanted to have fun.
Hottest?
That's awesome.
They were really hot.
Sorry, Chad.
They looked super cute from where I was at.
I'm glad you noticed.
Did they come to your suite and stuff?
Some of them did
They kind of wanted to experience the full NASCAR
Like sit in the grandstands enjoy the day
So we brought them out to
Did the Pit and Garage tour
Brought them to the driver cruise meeting
They got recognized there
They had the opportunity to go on stage with each driver
At driver introductions
I mean they were like
I was gonna say why didn't me and Brett go down to meet them
And then he just said they got to go out there and meet all the drivers
So we're canceled out
Yeah, basically.
They took a step down.
But it was really cool because usually when you give a tour, it's very easy to lose people or have...
Not those guys.
Yeah, you could not miss them.
And they were so cordial and respectful.
It was great.
It's obviously the week of July 4th.
We as a sport, just the fans, the industry, we're also grateful to the military.
We're very patriotic as a sport.
We're hands down.
the most patriotic sport in America.
It makes me very proud every time I see us as a sport, do things like that.
So shout out to Xfinity for hosting those guys.
And, man, I know they had a blast.
I could see him smiling.
Even the tracks in the series as a whole.
I mean, we run tires of flags on them and colors and stuff.
I mean, that's kind of cool.
And we don't just do it for, like, one special race.
We do this, we do a lot of things throughout the month of May.
Yeah, there's a.
May through July.
Yeah, there's a, like a, it's awesome.
I think our sport definitely.
I will say we have such a cool job, and sometimes we forget about the fact that we're here because of those military members.
And so to have them at the track be able to show them kind of what we do and give them a different side of the sport, I mean, they had a blast.
They asked so many questions.
I should have introduced you guys.
Sorry. But I did talk about spotters.
I will tell you this.
We had the United States Air Force sponsorship with Elliott Sadler at the Wood Brothers back in the day.
And then we had them again when we were part of Richard Petty Motorsports.
And we went to this gigantic function down in Texas, right?
So basically everybody that goes through Basic goes through San Antonio.
So we're down and this high-ranking guy comes in and he basically, and look, it's all the motorsports guys, right?
It's the guys who race snowmobiles for them, the guy who did monster trucks.
And he walks in and the first thing he said to us as a group was, if our skies aren't safe, neither are you.
welcome to the United States Air Force.
And I was like, man, I got chills.
So shout out to all you men and women that listen to this podcast that serve, have served,
have friends and family that have served.
Because even if you got friends and family, man, you know, I never served,
but my nephews and not my nephew, my cousin's served.
And, you know, that's a part of your life that walks out of your life when they go to serve
and go get deployed.
So shout out to all you guys.
Yeah.
And so you might hear a different voice on the show today.
It's because our producer, Jason, decided.
to go to Chicago and get stuck there.
Okay, I have a lot to say about that.
No, no, yeah, go ahead.
I can't blame him because American is canceling every single flight that I have to take or delaying it.
Don't fly American.
Well, we're all there supposed to go.
It's Charlotte, dude.
It's a hub.
It's Charlotte.
So I miss the show.
Charlotte American is pretty much your option.
Yeah.
Exactly.
I missed a show last week.
He's just so used to private.
True.
Miss a show the week before because you were in a rumor.
No, the week before was the off weekend.
The week before that.
All you have the four seasons.
I'm sorry.
The week before that, you guys had to film on Tuesday and I was traveling on Tuesday.
Listen, wasn't it TJ that missed about like 22 shows last year?
Thank you.
And now he's the pot and the kettle?
No.
Thank you.
Brett missed a lot of shows.
We take turns in years.
Like, you miss a lot of shows one year, then I miss a lot of shows.
I haven't missed anything this year you had.
I'm not missing anymore for a while.
I figured Casey was off shooting more wedding videos.
I know.
Between.
Okay.
I was going to save this for the rant.
First off.
Really?
First off.
What are you waving at?
He was saying hi in the shop.
Is that giggles?
Bubbles.
Bubbles?
That's the guy that had the hickey on the neck.
Oh yeah.
Back in the day.
Go ahead.
First off.
First off, I can't wait to hear this explanation.
Me neither.
If you have a wedding and you pay thousands of dollars for wedding pictures, I'm going to post every one of them.
I thought about posting my entire wedding album just for you, Brian.
We've noticed.
Just for you.
I bet you have.
I haven't.
You have posted a dog of wedding album.
And the only ones that I've posted, I posted like after we got married, I did like two.
No way.
Okay.
And then it was people's birthdays.
So now I have birthday pictures.
I have anniversary pictures.
Really?
Four seasons pictures.
That was vacation.
Totally different.
That's not a wedding photo.
Hey, it's your birthday.
Here's a wedding picture.
Well, because I don't see my family.
So when they're at the wedding.
What a waste of money weddings are.
I am going to post my entire wedding album just for you, Brett.
You already have.
I have not. There's so much more.
What are you going to post it on so I'm going to follow you for a day?
How did you get to ragging on her?
They were going to rag on Shultz.
They said it on the show last week and then he brought it up.
Hang on.
There had to be more happening on the honeymoon than at the wedding.
So at least move on to the honeymoon.
I'm sick of seeing all these wedding pictures.
Why would I post about their honeymoon?
Why are we posting a freaking wedding pictures?
Because I paid thousands of dollars for it.
And when it's somebody's birthday, like it was Father's Day, Mother's Day.
Thursday, I'm posting all those wedding photos because I paid for them.
We want Nashville pictures instead of the wedding pictures.
I haven't been to Nashville in a while.
There was eight girls.
There was cell phones.
Those are eight photographers.
What else am I supposed to do with the photos if I paid thousands of dollars for them?
You just put them away and look at them when you get older.
Yeah, when you get divorced.
You're the worst.
I wasn't going to say that.
When I heard the show last week, I was like, I cannot wait until the rant part.
So I just had to get off my chest.
picking on you. She started this
by saying, I have a rant. Because
I was talking about American.
Back to Shultz being in Chicago.
So Shultz's flight got canceled,
so he has to take a later flight.
So Dillner is filling in for him.
So I saw Shultz in Chicago as well
and I met a couple of his little buddies
and one of them promised me a bunch
of stories about him which I think
I'm going to get some in Daytona because I'm
going to see him down there. But
so they tried to pull a little joke
over on me and his buddy
he asked if he could take a picture he's a big fan and I'm like all right sure he hands me his phone
I'm like oh he wants me to take a selfie with him and he turns around and he goes and puts his arm
around Jason I'm like oh okay you little you little rats you know he tried to dupe you
he tried to so I stood there it was so awkward because I stood there just holding the phone
like I was taking a picture and they're just smiling away and they got to be like 25 30 seconds
when you're standing there do it just smiling for 25 or 30 seconds it gets really awkward
didn't they post that so you can probably find it too they cut it off because they cut it
They shortened it because they stood there for a while.
And I just kept laughing.
I started laughing and they were like, oh, okay.
And I was going to take some selfies of myself and just not even take one.
But then I wasn't sure what would happen with them.
They would probably do something with the pictures.
So I just stood there and made it really awkward for him and his buddy to be hugging each other.
You're great at that, too.
Yeah.
What was his buddy's name?
Andrew.
Is that the one he does a podcast with?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
What does he do with those photos?
because he took one of me and he didn't post it,
and I see him taking photos all the time.
He doesn't post it.
This would be a very valid question to ask him.
His freaking things probably crashed because all the wedding pictures are uploaded.
From Casey.
Sweet.
She's clogging my whole social media line.
Do you see her face?
She's over here, like her mouth's moving like, oh, I'm going to get him.
So I got to ask you, you're listening to our podcast, which you weren't a part of that
week, and then I started giving you shit.
Did you get mad?
Actually, people started texting me that listened to the show, and they're like, you must be pissed on.
off about this episode and I was like, well, I haven't listened to it yet, but I can't wait
to hear about it.
Just so you don't feel alone.
I pissed you and Hermie off in the same week.
What did Hermie say?
Yeah, what did Hermie say?
Hermie's one of my buddies.
I didn't say any.
Yeah, but what did he say?
Don't skirt the question.
I didn't say anything on this show that I wouldn't say with him sitting here.
He was making fun.
He had a good, he posted it.
Yeah, that was pretty funny.
So don't feel alone because Hannah is taking.
Oh, she is.
You guys are, I mean, she's helping us.
us out. We didn't do anything.
What are you talking about?
The fact that you called out, the
Ross and her thing. Nope, nope, nope, nope.
Never say anything. Just ask if that's how your heart
beated when met. Well, let me tell you something.
I'm going to say this about us.
We made a comment last week about
the DARFs, the dumb-ass race fans.
99% of our podcast
listeners are not DARFs because they
immediately picked up on what T.J. said.
I've had Hannah texted me all week, mad at me
and I didn't even say anything. T.J. said
it. I just asked about
the heart beating.
That's all that was said.
But you kind of insinuated that they had a past.
And people immediately picked up on that and started tweeting Hannah,
and I'm getting middle fingers text to me, and I don't even say anything.
Well, anytime.
It took the heat off.
It took the heat off the douchebag thing.
It did.
The best part about it, though, was the fact that they were sitting beside each other.
And you're like, I wonder if they feel awkward.
So did you see the picture that...
You saw the picture that Hannah posted over the weekend, right?
No, what was it?
She posted a picture and guess who's standing in the background?
Ross?
Yes.
I mean, you do it to yourself.
Hey, look at me.
Well, whatever.
I couldn't find that picture for the damn wedding pictures that kept popping up all my time.
Sweet.
Let me look at Instagram.
Wait a minute, Casey.
They're going to keep coming.
Oh, look at Casey.
Your wedding looks great.
Oh, your wedding still looks great.
Well, one was my video.
Oh, there's a video.
Perfect.
Now we've got videos.
You know what?
If I paid money for it, I'm going to keep posting.
You pay money for a lot of things.
right um yes i only posted okay two of them were for father one for father's day one for mother's day
one for what does i have to do with a wedding one for monday one for tuesday because i paid for them i'm
going to post them on people's like celebration what does the wedding have to do with a father's day
well because you i mean a lot of people posts recognizing their parents okay hey dad i got married
posted pictures of yourself in a wedding dress no i posted pictures with my dad
With our first look, is that a problem?
When you throw something, please don't hit me.
Don't hit me.
Casey, I love you.
I'm sorry if I made you mad.
This is awesome.
I'm not going to tell you our sweet number ever again.
I'm going to tell TJ and Freddie and Dillner and Leah and everybody else.
I'll bring you stuff in the next week.
The stat, by the way, 11 of the last 17 Casey Boat Instagram post have been of wedding photos.
11 of the last 17.
Why are you here?
Wow.
I wasn't.
I'm going to pick on you, but I'm equal opportunity.
Why are you here?
When did you get married?
What was the date?
And they're not.
Some of them are from our rehearsals dinner.
What was the day of the wedding?
This is July 1st.
January 26.
How many since January 26?
Okay, 10.
10 out of 17.
Wow.
How many since January 26?
Well, I haven't been too much except for racetracks the last few months, so I don't do anything
exciting.
What are you talking about?
You just came back from vacation.
And I posted about that too.
You went to the, you need to didn't post much about your national.
You can handle my social media from now on.
You're shady about your vacation.
You are.
You tell us you're going on vacation.
You don't tell us where.
Yeah, you didn't give us the details on that.
You just show up in this paradise.
Because we would have been FaceTiming you and stuff.
Yeah.
Casey, we're going to need to fake.
Well, I mean, after this conversation, don't you think I'd do this for a reason?
Those pictures we could get into.
Those were awesome.
Yeah.
Nashville pictures would be great, too.
Well, I can't post any more now.
It's after the fact.
I know.
And I don't want, listen.
Post wedding pictures.
Yeah, I don't want you to post vacation pictures.
On people's birthdays.
Okay.
We're going to keep going on because
I was going to post my picture, but I got high.
As you hold up the pristine auction, Cheech and Chong.
By the way, that is awesome.
I was going to show you my family dog, but I got married.
Did you guys get the random after getting the pristine?
Did anybody at that table get a random?
No.
I haven't had a random all year.
Oh, I have.
Oh, it's coming.
I wasn't on the show when we announced this partnership, but Christine has been near
and dear to my heart for years because they sponsored Chad.
Pristine auction does?
Yeah.
Yes.
They've sponsored Chad since the start.
Wow.
Really close family friends.
Jared and his team are honestly the best.
Good people.
Drivers when they come to Phoenix.
I want to meet these people.
Yeah.
Well, we'll have to have them out.
Jared come to Charlotte.
Where's he from?
They live in Phoenix.
Awesome.
What a great place to live.
They didn't because Jared went to Chili Bowl and said.
I'm sure there's pictures.
My white eyes drive out so bad when I'm in Phoenix, though.
I couldn't live in Phoenix.
I just dry out.
I would rather be in Phoenix in Chicago.
I'd have to put Vaseline all over my elbows.
I'd rather be, honestly, Chicago sounded like.
Miserable.
Measurable.
Like, my eyes were blurry during the Xenna.
I know NASCAR listens to our podcast because sometimes I get in trouble.
All right.
But let's just put this out there.
Chicago does not ever need to have a day race in the middle of June or July ever, ever, ever again.
The heat index was 105 degrees.
As a fan, I don't want to go sit and watch.
that. It's too hot. As a spotter, it's too hot. Like, we have to do that at night, especially
with this cup package that we're on. Look at that. Yeah, TJ, TJ, literally, your phone locked up,
too. My phone locked up. My phone, my phone said, you have to cool this thing down in order
for it to work. My digital radio that I listened to NASCAR, it took nine minutes for it to
come on because it got so hot laying in the sun while we had a break. That was one of the screenshots
that I took in the middle of the afternoon. It was 97 degrees, and it says it feels like a 11-11.
It was dangerous.
111.
That's...
I love that market.
That's high.
It's too hot.
That has to be a night race.
I'm sorry.
Please, I beg of you.
Agreed.
Where is it now next year?
I don't know.
I think it's later in the year.
Yeah, I don't know either.
It used to be in September.
Which, look, I get it, man.
It's hot during the summer.
But we got tracks with lights for a reason.
Use them.
So I got a little news for you.
What you got, dog?
Speaking of pristine auction and Jared and them,
guess who won the bills?
moment. We did. Of course. It's coming soon. Are you going to wear it next week?
It's a mini. It looks bigger. I'm sorry.
We're going to leave that. We're going to leave that right there, too. Jared, it was an awesome
auction. I'm super excited. Thanks Casey for blowing that out of the water right there.
Hey, guess what? It's a new week. We get a bit on a new item. Yeah. Well, how would she know it was a
mini helmet? She wouldn't know. You hear a helmet. You think it's a regular-sized helmet. Well, she
would have listened to the show again. We said mini helmet numerous times.
Sorry. Well, going back to proceed, I'm telling you drivers. Do you know these people?
Do I know them? Do you know who they are? Shee and Chong on the board. That's awesome.
He only paid $61 and $46 for that helmet. Yeah, that's a deal. Jim Kelly sign.
That's a heck of a deal, man. We're going after something Steve Spurrier this week. Go Cox.
If you want to start your day off and feel like a champion, when you wake up in the morning and roll out of bed, the first two words you say are go
Cox. You just, it makes your day go awesome. I have, I do that every morning and look at how much
fun I have in life. I don't know. Try it, TJ. I do wake up. Go Cox. I do wake up a champion.
Say it. Casey, say it. Somebody say it. I'm saying it. I do wake up feeling like a champion every day,
bro. You are. I know. That's what I'm saying. I don't have to yell go Cox, though. It's amazing.
See, didn't I feel good? No. It feels great. You guys have the worst ADD today. We cannot
I know.
The helmet's $20.
We're going to try to win this thing.
If we win it, I don't know that it'll ever make the table.
It'll probably end up on my nightstand.
This bit will be done in two days.
I think it is.
Yeah, we have two days.
Two days, nine hours and 44 minutes.
Oh.
We've got to win it.
All right.
Go Cox.
So Chicago, your race pretty much was terrible.
So, man, let's back up.
The Xfinity race, Ross qualified really well.
Third for Nutrienex Solutions.
He goes out.
And, man, we are running decent.
And we have that first.
pit stop and we figured out that the right rear was losing air. So all the adjustments that Ross was
calling for and the adjustments that Chris Rice made, man, we completely freaking lost it because our
adjustments were for something that wasn't true to the car because we basically adjusted to the
tire that was going flat, right? So we get Ross super loose. He goes out there, hits the wall,
knocks the tail over two inches, separates the spoiler from the deck lid. So we really fought all day
just loose, man.
And he came back to finish eighth after Christopher Bell got tossed,
decued for being what?
Too low.
Too low.
The standard has been set.
And then, yeah, my Sunday, man.
Clint, we tried to try a strategy there in the first stage.
It went wrong. It did.
And the tire came apart on his right rear tire, and we spun out, tore the quarter panel.
And here's how tough Clint Boyer is, because this didn't get any coverage,
and it's probably not ever going to get mentioned if I don't mention it.
The crushed panels were knocked completely out.
out of the car. Fast forward. Right rear catches on fire. I see it. T.J. and I are standing beside
each other. We're pointing at it. We were going around to you when it did. I was like, oh,
boom. He's on fire. He pits. Guess what happens? Fire extinguster guy comes. Spraise the right rear.
There's no crush panels in the car, which means the guy's standing on pit road can literally
look through the car, see Clint, see the right rear, see the asphalt where the car is sitting.
There's nothing to protect him. Clint's visor was up.
this guy hammers him with a freaking fire extinguisher.
So bad for you.
Not only does Clint keep racing and keep doing his job,
he never said a single word.
So when you want to know how tough these guys are,
you go sit in a freaking car and let me spray fire extinguisher
in your face, in your eyes, in your mouth.
The only thing he said was, hey, guys,
I got something in my eyes, hand me a wet rag.
Damn.
Get you some of that for being badass.
That's amazing.
That's amazing.
That's impressive.
And not to mention.
he's been working all weekend in 100 plus degree heat.
What do you think it was?
150 in those cars probably?
I think they showed 153.
Yeah.
1503.
So all you pansies out there saying these guys aren't athletes, go ride with them for four hours.
It's a trying environment.
Like you're, they do have, you know, obviously they have some sort of AC and driver stuff,
but you're still sitting in a box that's 150, 160 degrees with a fire protective suit on.
Three layers.
it's hot so yeah these guys they people yeah they're not gonna they're not gonna outrun somebody down
the sideline to catch a bomb but these guys are athletes and you can put i would put some of our guys
you know like like a jimmy and them up against some of these other athletes and i bet jimmy could
outrun them and i bet jimmy could last long and more endurance than them guys some percent agree
yeah alex in his interview said that he hadn't done much except for maybe training a lot more
working out more for endurance purposes.
Yeah.
I bet Joey had fun running an Xfinity race.
Our car was a handful.
We were fighting loose.
I really thought on the last restart, we were lining up fourth,
and the double zero was the fastest car.
He was a rocket.
He was fifth, so I'm like, okay, well, we can get out of front of him.
We can definitely make it hard to pass for him.
But he was able to go three wide down the front stretch.
I thought that, I think he was behind Noah.
and Noah just kind of let them drive down on the inside, and I was like, oh, that's the end of that.
He was a rocket.
Yeah, he was the best car by far.
Shiplett has that car flying.
Yeah, they have a lot of speed, and I just wonder if they're peaking too soon.
You know, most time when you peak now.
Towards the end of the season.
Are you saying the big three peaked too soon and you just came in and stole it from them?
No.
Because you got your momentum at the right time to win championship, obviously.
Yeah, but that was in the chase already.
That was in the chase.
but sometimes I feel like if you're hot right now,
someone else, like Redick wasn't hot right now.
Yeah.
We were all wondering if he was even going to be contention.
Right.
And then he wins championship.
Right.
Right.
So, well, you never know.
Yeah.
It'll be interesting the rest of the year,
especially heading into the playoffs.
Like, you know, they're in the playoffs.
But, you know, once the playoffs started,
I felt like a lot of guys didn't do as well as they did in the regular season.
And then Redick kind of just shines.
So, yeah.
Should be interesting.
All right.
Shall we spot on spot off?
Spot on spot off.
Just a spot off on the fuck.
He's spot on you like it, spot off you don't like it and you say why either way.
First topic, Austin Hill tells Grant and Pinger, if you touch me again, I will kick your ass.
I'm going to start with you, Brett, because your face lit up spot on, spot off.
I'm just going to say this, man.
I grew up in Pageland, South Carolina and there were three things that made you fight.
if somebody said F you to you in a very aggressive manner
if somebody call you the P word in an aggressive manner
or if somebody told you they were going to kick your ass
those three things made a fight break out
this guy Austin Hill
look I hear he's a big bad country boy that's cool man that's awesome
he wouldn't say that in Pages in South Carolina
unless he was going to get hit in the face and fight
and Grant N finger I heard his PR lady Jessica
I think is her name and on her for a long time
I hope I didn't screw him up.
I heard her saying be the bigger man and walk off,
and that's absolutely what you should do.
But man, my upbringing was going, oh, he's getting ready to hit him.
But, man, the awesome part about it is the fans get to see the raw motion,
and the fans get to see the personalities.
And when In Finger touched him on his chest,
I couldn't really figure out why he was touching him to begin with,
because if I'm mad at you, the last thing I want you to do is touch me.
And clearly they were mad at each other,
and when he touched him, it set Austin Hill off.
So spot on for the fact that fans got to see that.
And if you haven't seen that clip, go get it.
I haven't seen it until yesterday.
I didn't know what happened.
I don't even know what happened until right now.
Freddie sent it to me.
So N-Finger went up to Austin Hill.
So they were having words, and as N-Finger went to walk off,
he put his hand on his chest like this.
And Hill took and swiped his hand, and he said,
don't touch me again, I'll kick your ass.
Don't touch me.
Don't touch me.
I'll kick your ass.
And the way N-Finger was standing,
he had a right hook right at his jawline if he wanted to hit him.
But obviously he was a better man, and that's what he should do for himself and his sponsors.
But the redneck him came out for 30 seconds, and I was like, oh, he told him he was going to kick his ass and the guy that did do anything.
Yeah, I don't know.
But, I mean, the only time this has really ever happened, this goes back.
Most time if you say it, you don't do it.
The last guy that didn't say anything that just did it is in Australia right now, and he just did it.
So, and that might have been the best connected punch of NASCAR ever, ever.
So, yeah, most time, most time, that's not, I'm not going to do it.
That's just that I'm bigger than you type thing.
But who knows, though, I don't know, whatever.
That sounds interesting.
I'm glad the raw motion part got seen, because now it's exciting.
Now we go to where they run next, Kentucky, I think.
Now we go to Kentucky and is the-
Austin Hill's making a lot of people mad.
That's just what I was thinking.
Joy Ligano made everybody mad.
He wrecked everybody and had everybody swinging at him.
Like, Austin Hill's a new Joy Lagano.
He's making everybody, Matt.
They were, it's like every week they're pointing at somebody almost because they, you know,
there was some stuff tweeted earlier in the year about blocking and stuff.
And, I mean, they won the first race at the year by blocking.
They won Daytona by blocking.
So, look, just race.
But, you know, the truck series is a great series.
And it's fun to see this go on with, you know, Austin Hill's a hard racer.
He's fast, hard racer.
Grant's got a lot of speed.
Johnny's also
sitting there waiting
I mean he's ready to pounce at any time
These guys are on a big stage
I just love the blue collar feel that we
get out of that series right now
Ross Chastain is a watermelon farmer
Austin Hills this country boy
Like I don't feel like there's a lot of punks
over there winning races right now
Like I feel like most of these guys are blue collar badasses
And fans can relate to them so much
You see that thing
We have a little bit of everything
You got the country guy
You got Austin Hill you got the Bulldog with Johnny
you got crafton who's the guy that just kind of sits back and lets these guys you know
though crafton did have ross jacked up at gateway um but these are hard racers man it's an exciting
series i love it warm warm racing conditions before the storm versus cool conditions after the storm
how about you tj spot on spot off um i'm not i can't spot on the cold racing conditions
yet because we've yet um i thought the race i still think racing is good when it's hot i'm
and slick. I think the guys fight more handling stuff. I think there's, uh, um, but, you know,
there's two sides of it. Racing's hot and slick guys fighting in the cars, or do you want it cold
and everybody just flying, drafting, no lifting, um, wide open slot racing. You know, there's two sides of it.
I think they can both produce good racing with this package. Um, one just requires more handling than
others. And I prefer, I like the idea of having to make your car handle. I like the idea of having to make the
driver lift and learn different techniques and stuff like that rather than here I come with a run I'm in
the draft here's my run I'm going to go to the bottom you know I prefer the um just the the handling stuff
NASCAR and chicagoland speedway should write a thank you a handwritten thank you letter to mother
nature because the cooler conditions with this cup package yields a better race the cooler conditions
yields a better experience for the fans and I can tell you running that race in the evening I
I got home at 1 a.m.
And it was because it ended up being a late evening race.
But that's okay, because I think it was better for the viewing experience.
And I think it was better for the people that were there live.
And I think that means spot on for the fact that we ended up racing not during the day.
Because as T.J. said, Saturday was absolutely brutal.
Borderline danger is hot.
It was hot.
But I still, I don't think hot racing, I don't think hot weather kills the racing.
I think it turns into a different type of racing.
We haven't had a hot mile and a half yet.
We saw those top four guys yesterday be able to run very close to each other and make some passes.
I mean, I was watching Larson and Jimmy and Harvick and those guys just, man, mix it up for leading and running top four.
And I think when we look at this package, Kansas was a good race.
Charlotte at night was a good race.
I think you'll have a different group of guys if it's a hot mile and a half compared to a cool mile and a half.
I think there's a, some of them will be the same,
but I think you'll have a different group of guys worked the way to the front.
It was a parade from fifth on back, but the top four were racing,
and that's exciting, man.
That's good, so I'm spot on for what end up.
We still just haven't had a hot mile and a half yet, though.
Oh, we will.
Kentucky's coming.
Or is that a night race, please.
It's a Saturday night race.
Thank God.
Yeah.
That one's hot, too.
Oh, yeah.
TJ, this one is for you for sure.
Great.
Contact between the 18 and 22 after the 18 throws a block.
going down the back stretch. What do you think? I think he blocked and he shouldn't have and he got a flat tire because of it. I mean inside's inside. If the guy's there, sure you can run them lower and lower and lower, but some guys aren't going to lift and other guys are. And I think when Kyle, I don't know what issue Kyle had in the beginning. He had some sort of problem where he got a lap down or something. Do you have a cut a tire? Yes, Kyle did. He cut a tire, but ever since he cut that tire, he was knifing back through the field and he was not wasting time with anybody. I saw, I saw,
saw him have two or three cars jacked up on the front stretch. Did you see any of them? Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, he was being very, very aggressive. And that's fine. I mean, I have no problem
racing like that, but this is just something that happens from that. You know, we had a big run on
Kyle. We got, we made a move that I believe Kyle would have made. If you have a run on a guy and
you can get to the bottom in three, you pretty much take it. I mean, that was a good passing spot.
It was hard to get grip anywhere but the bottom in three and four. You could complete the pass
if you could get inside of a guy. Whose fault was it? For what? For the contact?
we went as low as we could go and still make the corner so Kyle's fault uh yeah you can't run a guy that low
he never so I so I Herschman comes down I mean he's like man I told him he needed to give you room I told him you were there I told me to give you room and
that's what I was gonna ask you next if y'all talked about it yeah he's like sorry I mean I told him you were there I'm like it bother me
I mean we're still rolling along you guys got a flat tire from it which I don't want to you know you don't want to
I like good hard racing but they're just that's too hard-nosed guys that are very aggressive don't well that's what I'm saying
There's give and taking our sport, and then those guys don't give.
They take.
And so you've got two takers.
You got to run.
You know, that's a passing area.
And are you going to back out?
No.
I wouldn't back out.
I ain't backing out.
Yeah.
Hey, do you see the move that Chase Elliott made down the backstretch?
He got clear.
And I mean, when I say clear, it was by inches.
And he freaking shot to the bottom, made it three wide getting into three.
Clear them all?
That was exciting.
And it just is a testament.
My favorite part about this cup package is the restarts are freaking insane.
We were five wide at a point.
point yesterday. Oh, yeah. Five wide, your second from the bottom. Wow, I can't believe I just said that
at a mile and a half. I was two outside, one inside, a handful of times. It was insane on those
restarts for the first three to four laps. And if you were on the bottom line and you were like
the fourth or fifth car in line and that bottom line lost momentum, you might as well pull up a
park break. You were dunk. You were junk. I went from night to 22nd because the car three
ahead of me had a problem. And by the time we got wowed up, we didn't have anybody to help pick
us up and get us going again. Next thing you know, I'm like,
four wide, you're on the bottom with no momentum. You're killed.
I think this package is pretty fun, and I don't think it's far off. I think it's a couple
small adjustments away from creating a little bit smaller wake where guys can stay closer.
I don't think it's far from being a really, really, really fun package for a majority
of a run. I mean, it's fun now, but like you said...
You look like a guy that loves fun packages.
Way to make it inappropriate.
Well, that wasn't inappropriate.
He loves fun packages.
You probably love fun packages.
We all love fun packages.
I'm going to leave that there.
Go Cox.
I married the most fun package I ever met, so it's all good.
Oh.
What a shout out.
Yes.
Points.
God.
It's like you're talking about his race teams.
He must want to go back to Disney.
Oh, they're going.
This weekend, I'm not.
Dude, could you imagine being in Orlando right now?
No.
You imagine being in Daytona a week from now or five days?
Yeah, we're going to have to be.
Yeah.
You know that roof that just reflects the sun into you?
That's what people don't get, man.
Like, I know we're griping about how hot we get,
but we're standing outside.
We're closer to the sun, is my theory, right?
It's hot.
And then we have aluminum underneath us that ricochets and deflects
and reflects the sunlight, right?
So we're getting it both ways.
I burnt the inside of my nose.
How do you burn the inside of your nose?
It was a joke, Casey, the reflection.
Sorry, it's confused.
It's like snow skiing.
You ever been snow skiing and I got sunburn?
Yeah.
Yeah, same thing.
So, you know, me and Dale Jr., he's at the racetrack,
working now, so I see him there and stuff, and we're texting and stuff. I'm like, man,
that AC's got to be nice down there, you know, and joking about how hot. I was telling
like, dude, it's hot up here. So he gets on the Xfinity broadcast, and I guess makes a comment
about how I always complain how hot it is. Come on up for a practice. That's what I want to happen
is I want one of the high-ranking NASCAR officials to come up, put on a headset,
and stand there with us for 10 hours, and they would immediately build shade. There's no way they're
going to stand up there and be as hot as I. There needs to be a sponsor for you. I don't understand.
how there isn't. Let us wear shorts or give a shade or both. Yes. I mean, just a simple,
you know, those like, those little, I don't even know what they're made out of, the little things
they put over the parks and stuff, the little like, the playgrounds, the playgrounds,
yeah, the canopies they put up and stuff, they're portable totally, they unhook them during
winter, they put them up in summer, just something like that, please. You should just get your own,
like a little personal one. We can't, yeah, we're not allowed. We're not supposed to,
because they're afraid it'll blow in the stance. Yeah. But if they were to,
just put some, which I get.
That's a safety concern.
Yeah, no, I get it too.
It should put a bigger one, yeah.
I agree.
Anyway, all right, go ahead.
Keep rocking.
Hamlin's tweet after the uncontrolled tire penalty.
Here's what he said, if I can find it.
This was a retweet from the NASCAR handle.
Ruined our day and for what?
A nickel and dime judgment call?
This intent is not why this rule was put into place.
Let's go back to using common sense.
thoughts how about you brett denny got a $50,000 fine one time for sending out a tweet uh i don't know
about you but i can't i can't imagine a $50,000 fine that you literally are just writing a check
for $50,000 for 140 character tweet and the thing is when when you get fined in our sport if you
don't pay the fine you can't return to the racetrack right so for denny to send out this tweet is big
because it shows you how passionate he is and how much he feels that him and his team were done wrong.
So I have to say spot on for the passion and the emotion that he shared with the public,
because without social media, this never happens.
And this is why our sport is so great is because not only do you get to listen to the chatter while we race,
you're inside of the huddle on the scanner, on these apps,
but you also get these guys after the race giving you their true feelings.
about the experiences. I think it's awesome.
Yeah, I think that's good. But, you know, if you're going to be vocal about it and you don't
like it, talk about it when it happens to others as well. It happened to, I think, us last year, right?
We talked about it on the show, I think. I mean, but look, it's their call. The guy left the tire
for a second, and you're not allowed to do that. So, and it happened. I think Jimmy maybe last year
as well. I mean, it happens. But if you're going to be vocal about it, be, you know, vocal
about it when it happens to everybody, not just you.
I learned something yesterday.
We have this thing called a clock, right, a six-minute clock that we go on when we're on.
It's because VDP, right?
Is that what they call it, T.J?
DVP.
Yeah, it's like damage something.
Damage vehicle policy.
DVP.
Yes.
That's it.
So yesterday, we blow a right rear tire.
We tear up our car.
We bring out the caution.
I put us on DVP, the six-minute clock.
So I'm counting down the time.
You got damage.
It's not mechanical.
Yes.
So once I meet my seat.
six minutes, I can't work on my car anymore. At that point, I have to go back to the track and I have to
make minimum speed. We return to the track. I never heard them announce to us that we made minimum speed.
So I went down and asked the official, Sacco, who's one of my favorite officials, Jason Brownlow will get
jealous that. I said that, but that's okay. So I go down and I'm like, Sacco, man, I'm okay,
did I make minimum speed? He radios into the tower. The tower then tells him the 14 was never on
DVP. So I had to ask for clarification why. So the explanation,
was I didn't hit anything.
Had I hit something being a wall or being another car, then I would have been on DVP.
So Daniel Suarez, later in the race, at some point made contact with, I believe, the 11.
The 11 hit him.
Yep.
Okay.
Laps later, I see his left rear smoking going into turn one.
He pits.
They fix it.
He goes back out, and I hear NASCAR say, the 41 has cleared DVP.
And I'm like, I wouldn't have put him on DVP, but I would have put us.
So that's the thing where, you know, people think we always know all the rules, which it's our job to know.
I didn't know.
I would have put the 41 not on the clock, and I would have put me on the clock.
But the reality is even though if TJ and I hit each other this week and 10 laps later, one of us has to pit because of the damage, we go on DVP.
Even though it didn't bring out a caution and even though we may not necessarily think we go on it.
If you hit something and then pit, you're on DVP.
So you are the one.
something, meet minimum, and then pit later.
Once you make minimum, I would think you're cleared.
Because you're off the six minute clock.
Say the 41 gets hit by the 11.
Has damage, but runs three laps, and, you know, he makes minimum easily.
And is he already cleared?
We'll have to ask the officials.
I believe it's if it's involved in the same incident.
If the damage is from the previous incident, you're still on that clock.
You're still on that six minute clock.
You're going back to make more repairs.
He already made minimum.
Because he made minimum.
You got to realize that he made minimum after they made contact.
But then he had a problem from the contact.
That's when they start to put you on the clock.
He pitted that next lap.
But what I'm saying is sometimes you have tire rubs that clearance himself and you can continue on.
Right.
So interesting.
So are you the one that makes that call?
Like you say to the official on the spotter stand, hey, we want to go on DBP.
No, no.
You never want to be on DVP.
Well, got it.
So that's the first thing.
The second thing is I have a clock that I have to manage on my phone.
Okay. So I'm managing that clock.
Guess what we don't have?
We don't have the ability to see the official clock.
So if I've got us at 550 when we leave Pit Road and you're at 601, we're disqualified from the race.
So what I actually text my crew chief this morning, Buga, and I said, can't they put something somewhere on our fan vision or on our scoring monitors that A lights up, you know, purple.
Purple means you're on DVP.
and then with a little clock that actually counts down to make it official.
Because T.J. and I are at their mercy in terms of the timing.
We don't know exactly how much time is left on DVP.
We're guessing.
We're un-official.
Got it.
When you said it earlier, I thought you said, as though you were talking to the official about it.
So just kidding.
Yeah.
Interesting.
All right.
Alex Bowman holds off Kyle Larson for his first career cup series win.
Spot on, spot off.
TJ.
I mean, spot on.
He didn't finish.
second. So this just validates their mile and a half program right now, the runs that he's had. It just
validates that. You know, he had a lot of speed the run right before the end. You weren't there,
I don't think. He was driving away. And then we had that final pit stop under green. And we're running
a third. Larson's running a second. We run Larson down, but we're both catching Bowman. I'm like,
oh, wow, this is interesting. We're two, three, tens faster than him a lap. And I'm like, wow, this is
getting ready to get really interesting. We needed to clear the 42 though to have a good run at Bowman.
We just never, the best run we had, we had a lap car in the middle of the track off the corner and we had
to go below him, which gave Larsson more of a run off the corner. We couldn't side draft on the front
stretch, so he cleared us and then we lost through three car lengths and after that. Once you lose your
momentum with this package, it takes it a while to build back up and he was able to go run down the 88
past him. And did you watch? I did. Yeah. He was able to
to pass him and I was very surprised by that I was very surprised the 42 was able to get there and
pass him but I was even more surprised the 88 dug back in and and got back around Larson
larston's fast I mean most time when you get around to me is late in these races it's hard to
get back by him so you know congrats to them guys I know a lot of them guys personally from
you know being over there a couple years ago there's a there's still a handful of them there
So great to see them win.
Happy for Greg and some of my personal friends in that car.
First wins are special.
And I'm obviously stating the obvious with that.
But spot on for the fashion in which he became a first-time winner.
He had second place finishes at three completely different style of racetracks,
which says as a driver that he has matured and that he has gained experience,
it's making him a better driver.
I remember watching him drive some cars in the Xfinity series back in the day.
man, and just really being on the right rear, being super sideways.
And I was friends with his crew chief, which was Chris Rice, and I would text him going,
man, your car is sideways loose.
And he's like, really?
Alex isn't saying a word.
So it's fun to watch those guys progress and learn what they need in order to be able to go fast.
Kevin Hamlin's a guy I consider a good friend of mine, excited for him to be a part of a first win.
And I hope Alex throws one heck of a party.
He must have.
He did.
He must have.
He continued through the morning.
Yeah, the sun came up.
I invited Alex to come on the show, but I, I looked at TJ halfway through the race.
Actually, later than that, and I was like, hey, if he wins, you need to text that guy, see if he wants come on our show.
Alex, I knew, after seeing some pictures and getting some texts, a couple of us were texting it 3 o'clock in the morning almost, and I knew they were going to be up and...
He'll have to come on later.
Good for him.
I know, man, that's awesome.
You know, good for the guy, too.
You know, he got, I guess Greg stayed until almost seven.
7 a.m.
So Greg started crying during the MRN interview.
He literally got so emotional and he dedicated that win to his mother.
And he was in tears.
Yeah, and Greg's a really good guy too.
He's real quiet.
But Greg's a good guy.
So congrats to them guys.
First wins are always really cool.
And it's good to see, you know, Alex get it.
And he's earned it.
I mean, it's not like it's a fluke deal.
He got up there and earned it.
Yep.
Let's take a break and see what's coming up this week
on the Dale Jr. Download.
Dale Jr. Download, right, TJ?
The Matthew Diner Download

That's not good.
That should be their intro.
Yeah, there you go.
Welcome to the Matthew Diner Downer.
We're featuring Dale Jr. Mike Davis.
The Dale Jr. Dan.

the Dale Jr. Download.
This week, guys, young superstar
Haley Degan joins us on the show.

The Dale Jr. Download, available on major podcast platforms.
The Dell Jr. Down. Dirty demo.
I sent out a tweet last week, and I said we have another new NASCAR sponsor coming in.
And this is my personal second one this year that I've been involved with.
And these guys are going to do great things with leveraging our race fans.
The company name is OfferPad.
You can go to their website, offerpad.com.
If you want to sell your house, this is the absolute easiest way you will ever be able to go online.
It takes only a few minutes to enter your information.
And boom, you got an offer on your house.
You don't have to deal with a real estate agent.
Look, I love real estate agents.
I got buddies that are real estate agents.
But the millennial crowd doesn't like talking to people.
They hate people.
So when you have a company like Offerpad, which is a tech real estate company, this is easy.
I'm trying to get TJ to list his house.
You know, and I just might because really all you do is you're going to put your address in,
do you want to sell or not?
But one of the things that sets off for Pat apart is the fact that when you do sell your home,
guess what?
What?
Me and you, move them.
No, I'm just kidding.
It's not going to be...
It's not going to be...
No, no, nope.
That's false.
I have a broken shoulder and a broken butt.
Yes, okay, I was going to say it.
I'm not much help.
But they will move you, too, which kind of sets them apart.
from, you know, anyone else, which is really cool, man.
So if you want to sell your home, check them out.
You know, you can go in there and put your home in.
Maybe they're, maybe they'll give you a great offer.
Yeah.
We're going to help you guys sell your houses.
And when you move, you can actually just move in with TJ because I've been to his house.
His house is huge.
It's new.
It's only a couple years old.
He's got plenty of room for you.
That's completely false.
Brite is buying a boat so you can move into his boat if he'd like to want a boat tomorrow.
Is it a houseboat?
Are you going to name me?
your boat, Casey? No, I'm going to name my boat, wedding pits. And this is breaking news,
because I haven't even told her yet, but I'll let her listen on this podcast. I'm going to name
my boat after my mom. It's going to be called Shady Glady. Her name's Glady. And she
listens to this show, too. She listens to the show, yeah. So Shady Glady is going to be my
pontoon boat name. It's got a slide on top of it. It's a tritune. It's got a 200 horsepower motor.
Because you need that in a pontoon boat.
Clearly.
Dang right. It's going to be. It's going to be fun. What's the first song that gets played?
The first song
Man, that's a good question
Motor boat in?
That's a good one.
Yeah.
If it was a houseboat would Offerpad, sell it?
If it was a houseboat, we would definitely go to Offerpad.com.
Either way, they are supporting DBC, so you definitely need to support them.
They're great.
Honestly, it's a really good idea because being someone that's moved in the last couple years,
you know, moving is a pain.
It's stressful.
They're taking the stress out of.
The fact that people these days need to have flexibility, I mean, this is perfect.
It's awesome.
And I can tell you guys this, too, we're going to do some things on this show where they're going to do giveaways to the fans.
So you guys, check them out.
Offerpad.com, Offerpad on Twitter.
It's the way of the future.
We'll tweet it out.
It is the way of the future, man.
What an easy, great way to sell your home.
Yeah, no waiting for, no prepping your home for staging your home.
Here's my address.
What do you give me?
Yeah, done.
Check them out.
Before we head in the Fastlane, let's hear more about pristineauction.com.
Christineauction.com is an online auction site where you guys can go to get authentic memorabilia
from your favorite athletes, favorite entertainers. They got it all. They do have it all.
It's affordable is the best part. I can't believe you got the helmet for under 70 bucks, man.
It's crazy. Yeah. So I've been browsing on there too quite a bit. I've been going there and
they have everything. I almost bought a Michael George.
and the wing where he's got his arms up?
Oh, the arm span.
Yeah, the wing span.
I almost bought that.
Do you know in real life that your wing span a lot of times is your actual height?
What?
Yeah, so if you hold your hands out, as far as you can, tip.
I'm short.
When you measure tip to tip.
What about Trump with his small hands?
That doesn't have anything to do with it.
But you got tip to tip of your fingers a lot of time is your height.
Now you got a guy like Rajon Rondo, which we could get a Ray John Rondo, which we could get a
Rayjon Rondo autograph I bet off pristineauctions.com.
No, absolutely.
But Ray John Rondo, his wingspan is actually a lot taller than he is or something crazy.
Like he's a freak.
That's why he's a ball handler.
How did we even start talking about this?
Because that's what we do.
We talk about pristineautions.com, Ray John Rondo, and how you get an autograph.
So today, we're going to get a Steve Spurier, sign something.
Somebody, please bid against Brett.
No.
Shut up with this thing.
We don't want, I don't want to see that.
I want this table filled.
The problem is we have a lot of.
of listeners from South Carolina. We have a lot of listeners from South Carolina. I have a lot of
Twitter followers that are Gamecock fans. And when we tweet each other, go Cox. Man, it's a great
feeling. So I know those people are going to be bitten against us, but I hope we pull it off.
They feel like champions too, don't they? Hey, don't forget, we got a freaking deal. If you can enter the
word code, clear, C-L-E-A-R for all you people that failed first grade spelling.
Clear. Such a hard word to spell. Daily auctions every day there that, you know,
Alex is on there. He just won his first race. I think you can get a signed 11 by 14 photo.
I think it's going for $6.80. It's probably starting at $1 right now.
Either way, I mean, that would be a good one coming off his win.
Which auctions have you done yet, T.J. I mean, because there's the, you know, they're all, they all started a dollar, but there's that 10 minute auction. There's the daily auction. The 10 minute one, I've only done it once, and it's crazy.
Yeah, so there's, it's exciting. It's almost like, it's almost like being at a real auction because you're kind of nervous when you're busy.
and you want to get the last bidding because you want to win,
but you're kind of like,
you know somebody's sitting out there waiting to just outdo you by a few dollars
or, you know, just an enormous amount.
But, you know, it's a really cool site.
Go check it out.
I've had a really good time scrolling through there.
And, you know, I look mostly Buffalo Bill's things.
Yep, yep, yep.
I mean, they have, I almost, you know,
I almost bought a Josh Allen signed helmet as well,
but I didn't want to jinx the upcoming season.
Yeah.
And, you know, I get superstitious.
about that.
So whatever I've been doing
for the last 20 years
has been wrong.
So maybe I do need to buy it.
Yeah, I'm,
dude, I'm down with you.
I just hope we get
this Steve Spurrier, a mini helmet.
No, it's a football.
It's a football.
The helmet was last time.
We already got a mini helmet.
That's even better.
We got a football.
We could toss that thing around.
And I'm totally biased, but they sponsored
Chad.
They also,
proscen auction.com, one,
they put in Victory Lane
and the midget last night
with Christopher Bell running.
So, you know,
No Christopher and Chad or were such good buddies.
Yes, they are very close.
That's awesome.
Good for him.
I've never been around Christopher Bell.
I don't know anything about him other than the fact that he's one hell of a race car driver, but that's cool.
I saw him last night.
Is he quiet?
Once you get to know him, no.
So if he came and sat on the show, would he be really quiet?
I don't think so.
Only one way to find out, right?
I guess.
I don't know enough about Christopher Bell to really get him on here and make him uncomfortable.
But that's what it's on.
That's TJ's favorite thing to do.
So maybe we don't want him on the show.
He's making people uncomfortable.
Well, we've got to ask him something, you know, questionable.
We do.
That's what we do.
We have some questionable.
He'd be like, uh.
Maybe one day when we figure out where he's going, he'll come on the show.
Well, he's getting married soon, right?
He is.
He just got his option picked up with Gibbs.
Yes.
Maybe he'll post a bunch of wedding pictures that we can have mine and ask him.
You know what?
I will tell him to.
Did he come to your wedding?
He did.
On his birthday?
Are you going to send him a wedding picture?
He was not in the wedding.
It's Christopher Bell's birthday.
let's all celebrate with a Casey Hames boat wedding picture.
Yay.
Oh my gosh.
She's doing a mouth thing again.
She's getting mad.
Hey guys,
there's squirrels that just are running around in this studio right now.
You literally have the worst ADD.
Look at that squirrel over there.

C-L-E-A-R.
Love it.
All right.
Let's go into Fast Lane.
Three racing questions.
One off-the-wall question.
30 seconds to respond to each.
Only 30 seconds.
How are you going to start with some talking?
Good luck.
Fast Lane.
First question.
NASCAR threw a caution on lap 1.
173 when Kevin Harvick made slight contact with the wall.
Should that have brought out of caution?
What do you think, Brett?
Man, I don't know anymore what's caution worthy.
I saw Kevin hit the wall.
He came off the wall.
And then I think the second time he hit the wall is probably the reason they threw it.
But the thing is, those guys are watching on monitors and they're watching live.
So what we don't always know as a spotter is how much stuff is coming off their car.
Is there debris being strode that we don't necessarily able to see?
So my assumption is, and Ascar saw something there that I couldn't see from the roof because from where I stood, I was very surprised at it brought out of caution.
But I think the second time he made contact, something happened there.
I think when you see an accident, sometimes if you're looking in turn four and you look back and you see a guy and one in the wall, you initially don't know how hard he hit.
So, and not like you said, though, if the guy hits the wall and then he hits it again, there might be a problem.
You might need to get safety equipment to that guy.
To that guy.
So I don't have a problem with it.
I think NASCAR calls a great race.
I mean, we're in Sonoma, basically, caution free.
If they were the hold off on throwing a caution any longer,
I mean, you never know what could be wrong with the driver.
What if he hit the wall the first time and got knocked silly or something?
Then if you don't throw the caution, these guys,
you throw the caution because you need these guys to slow down.
What if he comes back across the track and it doesn't matter who's coming through there at full speed?
You've got to slow them down.
It's safety first.
We got to protect our guys.
And I think it's, I mean, I would,
but if you're looking in four and you look down and you see a guy hit the wall and then he goes
back and hits it again, something could be wrong.
Here's the thing for me, man.
We're all selfish as teams.
There are times we want to caution.
Yes.
We want them to throw the caution.
There are times we don't want a caution.
We're mad when they throw the caution.
So NASCAR is always going to be in that hot seat of should they or should they not have
thrown the yellow.
The reality is when they throw a yellow TV wins because they get to go to commercial, right?
They got to make money, right?
So they got to go sell ads.
The fans win because they get another freaking exciting restart.
So as a fan, I think cautions are an awesome thing.
They take some heat sometimes because if a caution came out, a questionable caution came out
with 10 to go yesterday and Alice doesn't win the race,
they take some heat for that because of who is leading the race and stuff like that as well.
And that's not really fair.
You know, they take some, they protect these drivers.
And if they feel like there's a problem, they put the caution out.
And that's, you know, their first thing is safety.
Jimmy Johnson finished fourth on Sunday,
which is his best result since April of 2018.
Do you think he'll win a race this season and if so where?
T.J.
I'm struggling to pick out a track right now just off the top of my head that I think Jimmy's just going to go and dominate at.
The ones that I thought he would dominate at, he doesn't dominate anymore.
The package is different.
I do think he's learning it more and more.
And obviously they've got speed.
He ran out front most of the night.
So I think Jimmy can win.
I'm just not
I haven't seen enough yet
he hasn't had enough seconds
Alex had what three seconds
and now he's got a win
that's pretty stout
I saw three different
Hendrick drivers lead the race yesterday
and when I say lead
they didn't necessarily come off pit road with the lead
like those guys went up there
took the lead they got past
they took the lead again
that tells you that Hendrick Motorsports
has made huge strides from the beginning
of probably the year until now
and I would almost go back to the middle of last
summer and say, wow, they've come a long ways.
Racing is cyclical.
You know, if you told me Stuart Hoss, well, going to have a win, at this point in the season,
I told you you're crazy.
All four of our cars won last year.
We didn't win, you know what I'm saying?
So we can't win right now for whatever reason.
Hendrick couldn't win.
Well, it's cyclical.
Now it's their turn.
They got fast cars.
Jimmy will probably win a race this year.
I'm like, TJ, though, I can't put my hands on where.
I thought Martinsville we'd see him really be good.
You got to stop using big words.
What big word?
Cyclical.
Cyclical.
that's not a big word.
How'd you go to school?
He's from Pagelin and cyclicals.
All four hundred drivers were up there.
Chase was trying to pass Kevin for the lead.
So I don't, you know, I don't know.
I mean, they're definitely made big strides.
So this was a, you know, they would get the most improved player right now.
Yeah.
The final July Daytona race takes place this weekend as it will be moving to August in 2020.
What has been your favorite July Daytona,
memory. Brett? I guess Dale Jr. in the baseball car. You know, he went down there and won after
losing his father. I had an opportunity to spend a lot of time with him at Daytona. We actually
went down there for nine days. Me, him, Elliot, a bunch of us, bunch of buddies. Josh Schneider.
We acted like complete goons for the first three or four days. We had an off weekend. They had a big
concert, man, Alabama came. Hootie and the Blowfish came. It was so fun. T. TJ came later in the
week, but he wasn't there for the first part of it.
Seeing that baseball car finished first, Michael Waltrip's second,
I think Elliot might have ran third, honestly, in that race right behind those guys.
So that's probably, I mean, emotionally, how do you know?
I was a Dale Earnhardt fan growing up, though, you know, so for me to see his son get to do that,
that was special.
That was way more than 30 seconds.
I wasn't going to cut him off because that was actually a beautiful moment.
Hey.
Oh, my gosh.
You know, I missed the weekend off before that.
It actually turned into like a family vacation for a lot of people.
Or it could have also been the most dangerous vacation of the year.
It was dangerous for me.
It was dangerous for me as well many times.
But after...
We had like a 25-room house or something crazy.
It was, yeah.
I'm not going to tell us.
Our damage fees were out the roof.
Like Kelly Earnhardt got the bill for that and she went nuts.
Every time I've went there, we were ordering glass countertop tables and stuff.
that we're...
It was...
Where'd have a lot of
lodgaterion to go,
oh, we dumped it in the pool
last night.
There's things like that.
Anyway,
my favorite memory is probably...
Remember the guy,
TJ that always took us around everywhere?
Limo driver, yeah, he ran.
So we had a...
This is no lie.
We had a car,
okay, that T.J. drove us around in.
Not me.
We had a limo
that T.J. drove us around in.
Or we had a bus.
So depending on how many guys
wanted to go somewhere,
we picked which...
All three were sitting in the driveway.
You'd be like that.
I left.
I woke up at 7 in the morning, and I had the worst headache.
And this guy sitting in the driveway in the limo, he took me in the limo to the 7-11 a few miles up the road.
He just sat in the driveway and waited for you.
Yes, that was his job.
If we wanted to leave, none of us were ever driving.
Perfect.
I truly believe that TJ and I lived in the greatest error of NASCAR being fun for those of us in the industry.
And I will tell you what ruined it, these fucking cell phones.
Boom.
Social media.
cell phones ruined our lives.
Brett, I never did anything questionable.
I did.
Yeah, you're boring, T.J.
I'm just kidding.
They were fun, man.
I mean, hey, you want to put some bubbles in the pool?
Yeah, grab the laundry.
Imagine being 26 years old.
Some of your best friends are multi-millionaires.
You're making a pretty damn good living yourself.
At 26, you're making way more than all your buddies are making it at 26 outside of the sport.
And you got private planes, helicopters.
Limmos, backstage passes.
I mean, T.J. and I'm not bragging. I'm just telling you.
Fact.
T.J. and I lived the best
life that any spotters in NASCAR
history have ever lived.
I am not complaining.
I mean, we loaded up one day, and I'll go back to
the July 4th in a second.
Yeah, I guess the ding.
We loaded up one time and went to that water park
in Daytona, right up there by 600 north.
Yeah. We loaded up there, and
we just went water parking.
And so we're all like, all right, let's get all this
water slide.
He said water park.
That's a verb.
That's a small word.
So I made that up maybe.
And we just like, all right, you go.
All right, you go.
We had about a three-second gap.
And there was not enough water going down this slide for all of us to be going down it.
So we all start stacking up halfway.
And it's in a tube.
So long as you're here's, wait, wait, don't go yet.
And, man, I went down.
And I knew the guy behind me.
His name was Brian Thompson.
I don't know if you remember him or not.
I don't remember him.
He was six foot seven.
Huge.
And we got down there, and I crash into somebody, and I'm like, oh, no, you know who's coming next.
And he's going to wipe us all out.
And he comes down there, and we just, he clobbered.
Oh, it's so bad.
Oh, a shirt that says water parking.
Water parking.
With that old retro water slide looking thing.
Yeah.
But, no, listen, we've had a lot of fun trips.
And, you know, I don't, maybe we can have Dale Jr. as a guest one time, and we can.
Well, that's why I wanted him to come on a show one time.
so we could tell stories.
Let's talk about the time
Kid Rock parked his bus in your driveway.
I mean, there's like...
We lived like rock stars for a long time.
We've done a lot of fun stuff, man.
I look back at it and I wish I never took pictures.
Neither.
You were scared to.
I never, I just never wanted to.
That's what it was good.
I never really wanted to.
I was just, yeah, we were hanging out.
And part of me wishes that I did sometimes because,
but man, it's hard to sit there and explain to somebody
what some of the things we've got to do were, like,
Literally, I mean, I went to Sturgis and drove a minivan.
Yeah.
Bad asses dillner.
The bad asses driving minivan to Sturges?
Yes.
You were minivaning.
I did not belong.
Yeah, we were minivaning.
You're motorboating.
He's water parking and minivaning.
That minivan went to Mount Rushmore, and it was awesome.
So, you know, but there's just so many things that we've got to do.
But, all right.
30 minute ding.
My favorite memory of Daytona is probably, uh,
you know, winning the, we ran that Wrangler car there, and that was pretty cool to me to go
and spot that car to win that race. And I think we've won the July race two or three times.
We've been pretty successful down there in July. So, you know, I always looked at as
just a fun weekend. I knew we had a really good chance to win him. Ding. Ding.
Off the wall question. If you could throw the most American Fourth of July party of all time
named three famous Americans that would need to be there.
Breton Jorts.
Time down.
So three famous Americans.
I mean, I think I just named one, Kid Rock,
but it's about as American as you can get.
Famous Americans.
Ooh, this is a good question.
Do they have to be alive?
No, we can be.
Why are they going to be dead?
So it can be dead.
You're going to have George Washington hanging out?
I mean, I would probably,
oh, so they got to be alive,
I'd say a lie.
Okay, so throwing a party right now who's coming.
Kid Rock's going to be there.
Hell yeah.
You know, I don't know, man.
For some reason, I want Tony Stewart there.
Do you remember when Kid Rock took the stage?
Tony's a good one.
I mean, for some reason, I want Tony there.
Really?
I don't know, man.
Hell yeah, he'll drink beer and he's freaking loves America.
So he's going to leave his shirt on because he's hairy.
I don't, I'm not going to touch him.
Where does that even come from?
Come on, he's a big old American hairy badass.
All right.
And a third one, man, so I got the rocker.
I got the partier.
Who else would you want there?
Brad Paisley would be kind of cool.
Oh my guy.
I just ruined my party.
Wow.
Okay.
I mean, this is a party like raising craziness.
Brad Paisley, that drink.
Not like this.
I mean, I want somebody that's...
He'd play a guitar.
I want somebody that's kind of wild and going to be very, very, very...
entertaining.
Brett, Clint?
See, I had to take Tony over.
Clint would be fun.
I don't know.
You got three?
So, first of all, Clint and Elliot have to be there, and they don't count because they're
in my industry, they're in my world, so they don't even count.
Plus, they're two of the most fun guys you've ever been around.
That's kind of why I didn't want to pick Tony.
But it has to be pre-baseball Elliott coaching, right?
Because Elliot Saturday, the race car driver, was fun as hell.
Elliot, the baseball coach, isn't as fun as that guy was.
So I want that guy back.
Obviously, Clint's fun no matter what.
Vince Vaughn is the funniest dude I have ever been around in my life.
I went to the Spearmint Rhino with him in Las Vegas years and years ago.
We actually ran into him in Caesar's Palace.
The spring race this year?
We hung out.
We went to Pure, which was a big nightclub out there.
They literally made Motley crew leave their booth, and they put them somewhere else for Vince Vaughn to have his booth.
Roger Clements came over.
Vince Vaughan is the funniest dude I've ever been around in my life.
So then he, obviously Blake Shelton.
He's funier than hell too.
I'm all about having fun, right?
Those two guys are fun, but we've got to have some really super hot chick this coming.
I think they'll be there, Brett.
If you have Vince Vaughn them there, you're going to have plenty of hot chicks.
Yeah, they are going to sand to the beach.
Are you sure?
Kid Rock, Vince Vaughn, Rob Gruncowski.
Oh, Gronk.
Grog. I can get down with Gron.
That's going to be a fun time.
What about you, Casey?
Chad, my wedding pictures and the dog.
No, seriously, you might have a good perspective on this.
You have to decide right now.
We're putting you on the spot.
No clue.
Honestly, I would say like...
Chad, Chad and Chad.
Oh, come on.
Janet Jackson's my third one.
Janet Jackson.
That's a good one.
I would say...
Have you ever...
Have you ever...
Let her...
She should take too long. Go.
Yeah, hurry.
I was thinking Blake shall
Yeah.
Okay.
You'd be happy with that.
And he's bringing Gwen.
I don't really know who's American.
That would be like, I haven't thought about it.
Owen Wilson.
Oh, he'd be a good one.
When he's not depressed.
Doesn't he have depressed issues?
I like Ashton Cochard.
Ash and Cooter would be fun.
What about...
Have you ever listened to Janet Jackson's songs how dirty they are?
Like, if you go back and really listen to her music, she was dirty.
Who's the other comedian guy?
Will Ferrell would be all right.
Yeah.
Will Ferrell.
Yeah, he'd be all right.
I'm taking Clint Boyer, Brett Griffin, because he's going to injure his ass,
and my boy, Donnie Leia, that ran truck series, because if you've ever partied with him, it's a damn hoot.
Is he fun?
Yeah.
That's all I'll say.
Donnie's one of them, hey, yo, the deal.
Hey, you're the deal.
The deal's done, Donnie.
How you doing?
Don't the deal.
How you doing?
You know the deal.
That's a good off-the-wall question, Jason.
Yeah, that was a good one.
Great one.
About time.
No.
All right.
Ask DBC.
Bradley 88 Billy asks,
we've talked about drivers retiring and going to the booth to call races.
Why are we not getting spiders to the booth?
They know more about what's going on around the track.
I don't know about these two.
What do you think?
TJ.
Hang on, I was looking at my pick.
Go ahead, Brett.
I'm glad you were looking at your pick, save us time later.
I think the broadcast for me, if I were a fan,
would be all about different perspectives.
And I think the more perspectives that the booth can offer,
the broadcast can offer the better.
I also think that the broadcast has to look at the broadcast as a factual sporting event.
They don't need to be salesmen.
And I think for whatever reason,
I see pressure put on those guys for them to be salesmen of the sport.
And I think our sport sells itself.
I think, Jay, they just need to give facts.
And listen, it's hard to be a broadcaster.
our world because when you look at Charles Barkley, he's sitting in a studio somewhere far, far away
from every game that's being played most of the time. And he's able to say what he really thinks
about all those people and all those players. We travel together. We fly together. We see each other
at the hotels. We see each other at the restaurants. So when you see somebody do something really
stupid, and I know people get mad sometimes at us for giving guys crap for doing something stupid,
but it's hard to give guys crap that you're going to see and that you're going to be friends with.
So I think that's the biggest challenge I see our broadcasters have.
But I mean, if this guy wants spotters on the TV, man, hell, I'll do it.
Sounds fun.
Yeah, that would ruin it for the rest of them because that, you know, I think Brett would be good,
but Brett doesn't have a filter and you need a filter for TV.
Yeah.
You know, that just wouldn't work.
You know, it'd be great until that point.
But, you know, as far as, I think someone that would be a good one to start with,
it would be something like Timi Fido.
He's been in the cars and he's spotted.
So he kind of knows what both, what's kind of going on.
But, you know, some things that spotters see, spotters see things coming now before they happen.
Yeah.
We see things, you know, a lot of times we know what's getting ready to happen, you know,
just because we see certain things on the race track.
We know a lot of these drivers' tendencies, and we almost know where they're going to go.
You know, if I got a run or, you know, you know what I'm going to, you know what these guys are going to do.
You know what guy's going to lift.
You know what guy's going to be aggressive, what guy's not.
we know a lot
I think too
you know one thing
that would certainly
add perspective
is if a former spotter
during some of these cautions
interviewed the spotters
right because they interview
the crew chief
they interview the driver
we're as TJ just said
going to give you a different
perspective and for me
that was my own to comment
I think it's important
for the viewer
yeah it's definitely
we have different perspectives
on things
I think I could have a filter
I don't
like just a
I think that beard would work
but we go and like
for instance today
I had a, you know, I was at a meeting before this.
I was actually watching footage with Joey for Daytona next week already.
We watched Talladega and we're getting, we're preparing ourselves for the next race and
see now, you know, what we think is going to happen.
But, you know, I think some, I think a spotter could offer a different perspective once in a while.
I don't know if it'd be an every week thing, but sometimes we see things.
I think it's an every week thing. It's just not a frequent every week thing.
Yeah, I mean.
It's a minute here there.
Yeah.
Good question.
It's door proper clear.
Just listen to that.
I love Billy Bradley.
You ever heard his accent?
Yeah, he's awesome.
He sends in a lot of good questions.
He does.
Job, Billy.
You won nothing.
This is another good one from Blasting Dad.
He asks, how do you guys feel about the Cup poll winner having a slower speed than all of the other series?
And just to recap, Austin Dylan got the pole in Cup with 176.2.
Miles per hour.
Yes, miles per hour.
NASCAR expenses for the series, that was Joe Lugano 177.556.
six miles per hour, and then Austin Hill got the truck pole with 176.6.632.
So it's the slowest of all three, the cup pole. So Joey ran the fastest lap all weekend?
Yeah. Sweet. I don't care now. It's a different, this is a different day and age. Before it used to be,
trucks were supposed to be slower than Xfinity cars. Xfinity cars supposed to be slower than Cup cars.
And Cup cars were supposed to be the, you know, the fastest cars, the hardest car to tame.
But that's not the way it's evolving right now.
People don't like the guy to get a seven-second lead and drive away and dominate.
That's not what people like nowadays.
They like seeing two guys, four guys, race for the win, race for stage points, get up there and duke it out.
They don't like traditional NASCAR anymore.
So it's hard to be upset at this when we're catering, trying to create a package that creates this.
And right now it's a slower car.
I think a new fan that is somewhat uneducated about the history of the sport and how we got here
doesn't have a problem with this.
I think the existing fan who is educated and has been very knowledgeable about the sport and the history
of the sport, I think the optics of this to them is a bad thing because we're supposed to be
the 40 best drivers in the world, right?
We've always said that.
and when you say the truck series is going faster than the cup series, that's a really weird look.
I've been a fan of the sport since I was four years old.
I've been in this industry over 20 years.
It still looks super weird to me on paper to see a cup car going slower than a truck.
I understand if people have a problem with that.
I do.
Yeah, I get the problem with it, but look, if you want that racing like that,
then that's kind of what we're at right now.
Last question. This one is from Rucker Fire. What type of prep do you guys do for equipment and yourselves during hot races? And how did hot races work out back in the partying days? How about you, Brett?
So I drink something called Motive Pure. And I drink it actually yesterday, I had two of them. I usually drink one as soon as I wake up on a hot day. I don't drink them all the time. But if it's going to be super hot like yesterday, I pour that in my water.
I drink it immediately yesterday.
I did that.
And then when we had the rain delay, I actually did it again.
And I don't know why, because I knew it was going to be cooler once we started back.
But we had sweated so much the day before.
Literally, the bill of my hat had sweat dripping off of it during the race.
T.J. was making fun of me.
He's like, dude, look at your hat.
And I'm like, man.
And I would literally take my hat and wipe across the front of it and throw the water off of it
because I was just absolutely drenched.
My partying days, hell, I didn't know they were gone.
I'm just kidding.
There was only one time on the roof that I struggled.
and it was a Saturday morning practice.
We were at Pocono, and we thought it was going to rain all day.
Famous last words, right?
It's going to rain all day tomorrow.
So the game, you remember the card game that was called A-B-I-H.
Oh, yeah.
Okay.
So we ended up at a bar, and we ended up playing that stupid card game right there in the bar.
And this was a Friday night in Pocono.
Wake up Saturday morning, alarm goes off 7 o'clock, look out the window.
Guess what?
Sun's shining.
Not a good day.
All I had to do was cup practice, which is easy at Pocono.
Like literally, you could do it with your eyes closed, easy.
T.J., how'd you stay cool?
Other than me fanning you the whole race.
Yeah, that was awesome to have.
I saw a neck thing on Amazon.com where you put it around your neck and it's got two fans that blow on your face.
That's cool.
Do you think it would work?
I don't know.
You should wear two of them.
We'll try them this weekend.
I'm going to show it to you.
You can keep going.
Sorry.
I, uh, it is, you like, you know,
Like he said, you just tried to drink a lot of, you just try to hydrate a lot the night before.
The hottest, the hottest race I remember having, I got sick in Darlington a few years ago.
Oh, that's interesting.
Like a clown wearing it, but I got sick in Darlington with, you know, working for Dale Jr. back in the day.
He did?
Did you puke?
I was throwing up.
That's a pretty nice, yeah.
How much are they, 10 bucks?
$35.
Oh, wow.
A USB charger board?
something? They gotta be. They don't have anything running to them. It's got to be portable.
I was not good.
And it was the long, I think I spotted three quarters of that race with my head down.
It's bad, really bad.
You know, I had Eddie on one side of me to haunt. He's like, man, you okay? Are you all right?
I had a guy standing by if I didn't make it with Steve Barkdall, but it was really bad.
And that race is not one that you want to be sick for, because it's normally.
really hot. You said the two nicest guys on the roof's name today. You said Tim Fidoa, and then you said
Steve Barkdahl. That's the two nicest guys that are on the roof with us. Steve Barkdall has an
absolute heart of gold. Yeah, he's a great dude. Loss his wife to cancer years ago, and it just,
I don't know if that changed him for the better. You know, I didn't know him back then, but man,
I love that guy. Glad he's glad he's in my life. And me and Fidoa are tight now too.
He made the, he went to Nashville with us for the draft, rode along. Just a great guy. Yeah, man,
just loves to be involved. If we called him right now,
and said, hey, you're in Asheville, we're in Moorsville, we got car trouble coming here.
He would totally drive away.
All right, I'll be there.
I'm on my way.
Yeah, he's a great dude.
The feed was the same way.
Yep, Timmy is a good dude.
Thoughts on some rants?
Anything else?
Man, I had an interesting text conversation with another spotter this week, and he's like,
I put in our group me that I had some truck tickets.
And listen to me, it's harder for us to get tickets to the race.
We can get garage passes easier than we can get tickets.
But because Neutranag Solutions bought so many,
tickets this weekend. I ended up with some in my hands. So I put in our group me. I was like,
hey, I got truck tickets tonight if anybody wants any. Kevin Hamlin and some of the guys were like,
hey, um, you know, we may have some buddies here that can use them. T.J. actually was
wanting some for Sunday, but I ended up running out. So one of the spotters was like,
hey, you should, you should do a giveaway on Reddit.com because those people hate you.
And I was like, I don't even know what really Reddit is. I follow Reddit on NASCAR on Twitter,
but I don't, I've never been to Reddit.com. He's like, oh, man, they were
downloaded the app recently. He's like, dude, they're, they hate on you.
all the time about your podcast.
So I want to say two things.
Number one, thanks for listening.
Yeah.
Number two, if you are a grown-ass man and you take time out of your day to go on to any
website to complain about other grown-ass man, you need to get out of your mama's basement
and get a life.
Yes.
So to all you Reddit people that are nice, I love you guys.
To all you haters out there, get a life.
And Q more.
Yes.
Dillner is super excited.
Sorry, I'm excited about that because I just had some.
a whole thread of haters on me.
This is awesome.
And I just ignore it.
I just search you.
I don't listen.
If you listen to this show, you should realize that I don't give a shit what you say about me or think about me.
So you're wasting your time hating on me.
Get a life.
It's just had, you can go to the best ones and stuff.
Oh.
We'll have to do that in their off time.
Oh, yeah.
Anyway, TJ, you got a rant?
No, I think everything's being kind of covered.
Dildner, you got a rant.
They never let you talk on Dell Jr. download, so we'll give you your five minutes.
I thought I wasn't supposed to talk on here.
Wink, wink.
Casey?
I've ranted enough today, so I'm good.
Poor Jason, I had to feel his pain, getting my flight canceled in Sonoma.
So sorry, Jason.
Here's my rant.
Yeah.
You're ready?
There's too many squirrels in the studio.
Oh, my gosh.
These boys, I don't know how Schultz puts up with it.
Y'all are entertaining as crap, and I listen to this show religiously.
But, man.
Thanks for being a listener.
Go on Reddit and leave us a review.
Do you hear anything?
I feel like today more than normal.
more.
Do you realize 10 out of your last 17 posts are about Dale Jr. Download, Dillner? Do you know that?
Is that truth?
Probably.
You're not denying it.
Well, no.
It's mostly, yeah, it's Dale Jr. Downloader or my kid.
Look at this lead that I've got on DBC picks. Am I going to win this for the fourth year in a row?
No, man, I had a bad month.
You had a good pick this week, too. You had Jimmy. He finished fourth.
Yeah. Yeah.
And I was going to save Larson to Bristol. I'm glad I didn't.
I hadn't saved anybody else, so I might as well just keep the throttle down.
Oh, you got me again.
Duh.
Damn, I thought I was ever round.
Nine to six, player?
I'm going Bubba.
Bubba's who I was going to pick.
Yeah.
Bubba Wallace.
Well, you aren't going to...
That's a really, really, really smart pick.
I'm going to...
And look, this is a shot in the dark, people.
Like, we can be...
We are down to the shots in the dark.
We are just...
We are down to it.
But Daytona and...
It could be anyway.
Talladega are just crazy, right?
So I'm going to go with...
guy who's had a lot more speed lately who took it on the chin like a man,
Ryan Newman.
That's my guy this weekend.
You set that up well.
I didn't decide till right there at the end.
I was buying time.
Because you took my pick.
Fantasy tips.
What do you think?
This is the wild card, man.
This is the one.
Bubba runs good there.
Bubba runs good.
But this is a place for, you know, Stenhouse to really try to make something happen.
He's going to be one to watch all week.
There's three motor packages there that are really, really strong.
Rouse Hates engines, obviously one of them.
Hendrick, one of them, and Toyota.
Those three guys, those three groups of motors are, they're rockets.
This is a Bubba, Busher, Menard.
This is a place for someone like that to shine.
Megan McDowell.
Those are, those would be my...
Denny Hamman is good at Daytona.
Yeah, but you won off the wall pick, so we can stay at the obvious.
We just picked off the wall.
We picked some...
Well, Denny Hamma's not off the wall.
I know, I didn't say it was.
I was saying who was going to be hard to beat.
He won the last race there.
Duh.
Duh.
Better be glad we didn't pick the in because I would have picked him.
We skipped Daytona.
By the way, Casey, I am at eight of my last 16 posts, so 50% Dale Jr.
Download.
with my kids and tractor poles.
What percent do you think TJ's posts are about door bumper clear?
Probably 0.0046.
That's why you shouldn't manage social media for Casey.
Maybe 20%?
Not even close.
No, that means I should manage your social media because there wouldn't be nothing posted.
Exactly.
I mean, how do you promote a show if you don't?
Well, I'm not promoting.
I wouldn't promote a wedding that already happened two years ago.
Thanks to our new sponsor Offerpad for coming into here.

Those are the two fun.
You got total opposites here.

You got the guy that's going to go eat seafood
You can watch video all week
You don't have to watch video
The race doesn't start until 7.30
You can watch video at 12
That's one good thing about being a spotter
Is we don't have to go to the track
Super early
There's a lot of good things about being a spotter
I don't think we need to start that
