Fidoa. Okay. Yep. Do good. Thanks. Oh, it's not pock or ass? Are you going to call Brett? He's probably drunk.

I might. Probably. At some point, I'll put him on speaker. He's the only one where the drunker he gets, the more he tweets. I feel like. Yeah, it's entertaining. It is entertaining. How's my hair?

Like good? Looks great. You don't even have to ask about mine, do you? No. Ten mirrors looks great, too. Don't worry. He's got a hair product in his, though. You don't wear any product, DJ?

No? No, like, de frisor. Yeah. If you like gel. You gelged your hair up? I probably did it in high school. Probably. I know I did in high school.

Who didn't? True. Did you ever dye your hair? Yeah, maybe. Did you? Yeah, I did. Like blonde tips? I went to do the tips and I did the whole thing.

I was at my friend's house. I went back home. My mom was like, what did you do to your hair? This is Doorbup, Bure, and I'm Casey Boat. Brett is on vacation, so we'll finally get a break from him. But TJ is here today with Kevin Harvick's father, Tim Fidua. They'll discuss the Bush brothers battling for the win on Saturday night, Joey Lugano falling from first to seventh on the final restart, Natalie Decker throwing Spencer Boyd's

hat after the truck crash, and plenty more. Let's get started. That's DJ Majors. This is Brent Griffin. You're ready. Play. New leader. Watch out for this guy. White flag. Ready. Ready. High. Hello. Hello. Clear. Bring home. Three live. Coming to the line. George, bumper, clear. Hey, everybody. I am T.J. Majors.

It's part of the 22 cup car. And I had the 99 truck this last weekend. Brett is busy right now. Trump right now, basically. He probably is. We're going to try to call him soon. Hopefully he's well on his way to feeling great or well on his way to feeling terrible.

We'll see. We'll call him. But subbing for Brett. Not only is he a championship spotter, but this guy is in the Hall of Fame. It might be in the state that's arguably the armpit of America. Wow. Timmy Fidoa. I'm Tim Fidoa, spotter for Kevin Harvick.

Yeah, I am in the Michigan Motorsports Hall of Fame, but more importantly, my grandfather was on the first ballot, my dad and my uncle are in there. So I'm happy to be in there, but I'm more proud of them. Timmy, we've talked about Timmy a couple times in the show is, I think we labeled Timmy as one of the nicest guys on the roof. You remember that? Yes, I do remember that. And I'm so glad you're subbing for Brett because you are way nicer. Brett's nice. What?

This is an honest show, Timmy. We'll be honest. He's always nice to me. How's that? See, this is the part where you get on Casey about her posting wedding photos because when did you get married? Okay, January 26. and I only post them when it's like somebody's birthday or like Father's Day or something. I paid good money for them.

And you're still posting your wedding pictures? On special occasions. Brett takes exception to that. He thinks it should be done over with and he tends to give her a hard time about it. Brett just needs something to complain about. So that's his topic for the week. Brett is usually happy when there's something to complain about. And he's usually very vocal about it, which he's very vocal about your pictures.

Yes. And continues to be, I feel like. And continues to be, which is good because we're going to auctioning some of them off, right? Yeah. I'm just kidding. We might. But we did, Jason messed up and lost our last bid. Yeah.

We were bidding on that Bradley Cooper. Okay. I don't understand how everybody else won theirs, but mine, the one I wanted, we didn't win. Bradley Cooper is a very popular guy. It went from like three or $400 that signed photo. Worth it. We're not paid, man. Worth it.

No, absolutely. Yeah, we have a, one of our sponsors on the show, Timmy's pristine auction where you can get on there. And they've got, there's probably Timmy Fida with stuff on there, to be honest with you. Basically, tons of signed stuff, memorabilia. And we won that fine piece of equipment in the middle of the table on there. And we were bidding on a Bradley Cooper signed photo. And none of us wanted it, honestly, but her. Me.

It was still cool. I would hope none of you guys wanted it, but. Okay. So I just have to say, if somebody else has. a recommendation. I think I should go next again. Yeah, we'll go next week. I should have another chance. So. No, we need

items for the table. Somebody needs to tell me what to auction off. Or what to bid on, sorry. Somebody needs to tell me. So any tweet me recommendations? Bradley Cooper works just fine. Ashley Cooper does not work fine. Ashton Coucher is another great one. I'm just thinking of those. No, no

males, please. Are you serious? We don't need We don't need that. We don't need any, like. What's your favorite sports? team. I was trying to figure this out to maybe suggest something, but I can never figure it out. Super Cross. Okay, so maybe we can go find like a Ricky Carmichael something, but that would be expensive.

Something like, who's your favorite motorcross guy? Ryan Dungey. Okay, well, we'll look for something Ryan Dungey. That's way better than Bradley Cooper. Honestly, Ashton Coucher, I really think that's my next one. It has nothing to do with him. So today our items to bid on is a David Ortiz signed 2013 World Series Baseball from at Boston Red Sox on pristineauction.com.

Bid's going to start $20, and we'll see where he goes from there. Kyle Bush. I'll want this Eminem stand up. I'm not a Cobbush fan. He is a huge cowl. No. He's in the closet about it or what? No, hold on.

No, he's out of the closet. Let's not say anything. He's a Cowboys fan. Let me see. Oh, the best. We need to, we need this posting. Jason, who's the one who makes videos is not going to put that in video. Wow.

I'll explain. Dillner, we need to make this happen. That was probably like 2010-ish. Kyle Busch had recently signed. When I first started watching NASCAR, look at that face. I was a big Eminem's fan,

just in general, consider the best candy. And then Elliot was M&M's driver, and then Kyle happened to be the M&M's driver. So I all had that M&M's merchandise already, so I just started cheering for the M&M's car. Honestly, I think all I'm not buying that at all. No, that's exactly what happened.

I was eight years old, and then the M&M's car drove past. Yeah. Yeah, oh, Eminem's car. Yeah. It's a good correlation. It looked like you ate a few back then. Just saying that.

That's great. I mean, that crossed my mind. I knew it did, but I don't know you very well. I just met you, but. Tim, you are fitting in just fine here. A couple episodes ago, Brett, did you see the truck race at Gateway? Yes. Did you see Hermie in the beginning of it?

Yes. Brett said Hermie looked like a watermelon. So, yeah, so that's. Yeah, it was interesting. Yeah, you're going to be just fine. So Jason, Kyle Busch fan back there. And when I was younger, he must have not been happy after the outcome of the race too.

Ever since I started, you know, like doing work in the sport, it's like, no, I don't really like them anymore. Really, though? No, I'm not listening to either. He's on our show sheet like every week. He does a lot of memorable things on the racetrack. I'd like to, I'm going to get my friend Andrew back for sending you all those photos after he interviewed.

So this all started because his friend Andrew Curland, who does some... NASCAR Acceleration Nation. Yeah, okay, whatever that is. But he's actually very good at what he does. He's going to go to the... What school is that? Arizona State. Yeah, but he's going to the...

Cronkite School of Journalism. Yeah, so he's well on his way to doing something in journalism. I did an interview with him in Daytona, and Jason gave me some info on him. And he once filled his dad's car up with... not gasoline, but diesel fuel. And it, I'm like, well, the, the nozzles are different sizes. He's like, yeah, it took some work in to get in there. Diesel's green usually.

Yes. He's like, it took some working to get in there, but I got it in there, and he filled it up with diesel. So to get him back, he has supplied me with a few images of Jason in his younger years. So that, of course, we're telling the story about diesel in here now, but that's going to get way more reach and then. That happens a lot. I'm going to, I haven't ever done it, but I have a good.

good friend who has a hunting show. His name's Hal. And he bought a brand new truck. Took it. It says he didn't. It doesn't fit. I don't know how it gets done. He says he didn't do it either, but he says he disclaims it, but the truck didn't run.

They said it was diesel in it. I don't know. He put gas in a diesel, though. Oh, that would be easier, right? Yeah. I think the gasoline would fit in the diesel. The diesel one's a bigger. I'm sorry, Hal.

I threw you under the bus. Yeah. Yeah, well, anyway, so you had a pretty miserable kind of Saturday night, didn't you? Yeah, we did, you know. We started off, you know, with a fast car. We've had speed everywhere we've been. We just hadn't had any good luck. And we got pinched up into the wall off of two on outside of Kurt.

Who did that? Kurt. Oh, Kurt didn't? Kurt, yeah. And, I mean, it was a restart, so it was probably three wide, two wide when we put it out there to make it three wide. There was room. but you know a lot of stuff's going on on the restarts as we know Nick gets tight it does I mean it's not not like anybody but if you give that up

with this package oh you're gonna get you're gonna get up right someone's gonna do it to you if you don't right that's right so I you know you go back and forth in your mind if if if you know because I was telling him dig up there go go go and there was a lane up there but when we got to his right rear it closed up yeah scrape the wall and then we we had some problems later yeah yeah well that seems like all the good luck you've had in the last few years. Now you're making up for it. Yeah, it goes and cycles.

Yeah, it's a big circle. That's how racing is. It's a big circle. For a while, you can't do anything wrong. And then you can't do anything right. Yeah. He's got to stay at it. Be tough, resilient.

We had a pretty good night, I thought, until the end. Yeah, we were. We were probably going to win the race. Had about a three-second, two and a half three-second lead on Kyle. And we could run quite a bit better than him anytime we were. Our car was really fast at the end. And a caution would come out with six to go, and that was, we got that restart, and the 42 was able to get to the one and kind of tandem with him. Yeah. That makes all the difference.

And 42, you know, who'd you have behind you? Kurt. Cushing? Kurt. Yeah, I mean, either. I'd have picked either one of them as good pushers, right? Yeah, I thought, well, Kurt kind of laid off on the restart and put a gap between us and him, and then the 42 got to his bumper and they started tan. With this package, as soon as two cars hook up bumper to bumper, they take off.

So as soon as two cars hook up and tandem here, they take off speedwise. And I'm not sure we could have blocked Kurt's run. He was moving. He was moving. So, you know, just bad timing. And we had a fast car, though, so I feel pretty good about our stuff. And we should be good this weekend, too. I'd talk to know.

Who do you, which of you has the easiest driver to work with? That's a tough one, I think. For me, I mean, I probably me. Kevin gets animated sometimes. Animated? Honestly, he doesn't, I don't think he ever gets animated. Neither one of these guys really, Kevin's been known, you know.

Well, I mean, you know, he's passionate. And, you know, he likes everybody to be on their game. But I also feel like he's fair. If you make a mistake, you probably hear about it. But if you do your job and then really nothing's ever said. I think sometimes he, you know, I think he's learned to. he doesn't say what he's thinking like he used to. Yeah, he's been pretty quiet here lately.

I mean. Yeah, normally if, you know, Kevin's been known to get fired up at his pit crew and stuff a few times. Yeah, they'd have a bad stop. He'd be leading the race. Have a bad stop. And he's mad, which I would be too. But I mean, when I drove, I said some things that I probably wished I wouldn't have. Yeah, yeah.

Didn't even remember saying him come Monday. Joey, Joey's really good. He's super, he's very understanding. he understands what everybody's job is and knows things can happen so joey's joey's pretty easy to work with yeah i mean i've never worked with joy but yeah i mean i think you've been around him a little bit yeah i mean between two of them i might they both know the game yeah they know the circumstances they've been there done that before and uh honestly it's all about driver and spotters is about the two the two getting along with each other understanding each other

you know i might go to work with kevin i might spot great for him but we might have different personalities so we might not we might not just mix as good together um which i think i think it's important to mix off the racetrack as well it just makes your job easier so i'm fortunate enough to you know me and joey get along really well away from the race away from the racetrack as well so and uh you know it just makes it easier so how long have you worked with kevin uh since 14 since i started the four car. I worked with, you know, several drivers before that. I was with Ambrose at Petty the years leading to that and AJ Almondinger, Scott Speed. That's right, yeah. Spotter for Clint, went his rookie year in cup for a while until he fired me. But that's the way I go. I mean,

his personalities, it takes a, you know, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, but you really, you kind of go into it. You know, you talk in the offseason, unless you know the guy a lot. Yeah. before you're friends with him. You know, you go into it and you're just thrown into the fire, and sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. But in our line of business, as a spotter, I think you've got to have thick skin and realize that some personality is just conflict.

You had to have thick skin to work with Dale Jr. I'll tell you that. I would say so. I mean, just... It was fine because I knew him well. Right. But if I didn't know him, I probably would have gotten a fight with him at some point.

But no, it's fine. It's just how it is. But did you see Natalie Decker throw her... throw Spencer Boyd's hat? Yeah. What do you think? Wait, we should go into spot-on, spot-off, because this is a topic that we need to talk about. Oh, it is?

Yes. Spot on spot off. You should be spot-off. Spot-on, you like it, spot-off, you don't like it, and you say why either way. All right, first topic, you just mentioned it. Natalie Decker throwing Spencer Boyd's hat after truck crashed. Spot-on, spot off. I have to say, TJ, you go first.

I think you should go first. Oh, man. You know, I was impressed with her, like, hat-flicking abilities, right? She had a pose going. That's all I have to say. Like, she had it down. Like, she rehearsed it. Oh, yeah.

Like, you know she has done something like that before. I'm spot off. I thought the throwback was really weak. Like, rip it off, slam it on the ground, throw it at them hard, something, it's a hat. It was kind of like a... Of all things, like... Is that what she thought of when she was, like, that's the first thing that came to mind is just to flick his hat off? No, I guess it was just heat of the moment.

I'm sure she didn't think about it until she was so mad there confronting him that that's just what happened. And I don't know. You know, you know what's funny is going, he went from being the guy that caused the wreck pretty much and created the whole thing to looking like the good guy because, after the not long after that he sends a tweet out did you see the tweet yeah you know hey just the hat's been released from the infield care center so did you see that yes so now he's the funny guy and now she looks like the bad person so uh i got to be spot off for that way to handle that because you turned in uh something that was his fault now he looks like the good guy when he's the one that just wrecked you know took you out of the race kind of yeah i agree what do you think

spot on i mean it it created some controversy and it was harmless but it was you know i mean it kind of summed up her frustration every year probably i mean she's had she's finally you know having a decent race and and uh gets wrecked by somebody else and i understand the frustration and it does bring some unwanted attention sometimes and you know with with social media you can turn things around on people in a heartbeat so you never know which way it's going to go but i mean it was harmless it was Have you ever done anything you regret when confronting a driver? Probably more than flicking a hat. Who wasn't? What'd you do?

Oh. Well, Robert Presley. Coleman's dad? Coleman's daddy. Coleman Presley spots for Brad right now. Yes, he does. We got into it Richmond one night, and it was kind of tip for Tad. He spun me.

I spun him. Well, then I went down there and ran my mouth a little too much, and the next thing I know we're on the ground fighting. I don't think we're fighting. We're just rolling around, but he definitely got the best of me. And it made me think before I went down to another driver's car and confronted. And Coleman was like four years old. Robert's a pretty big dude. Yeah, Robert is a mountain man. Yeah. Crazy mountain man from Asheville. Now he's like hot dog entrepreneur. Yeah, no, but he's also like

he is. He is a great race car driver. He's in politics. Yes, he is. He's a, he's a philanthropist. He's something up there in Asheville. I don't know what exactly is. I don't know the title either, but he is. Jason, look it up. He's got businesses. It's Robert Presley. He's some sort of politician or something up there. I mean, Robert was as tough as they come, and I really should have fought it over. I wish I'd have just flicked his hat. See, how to spot it?

He'd afflict your hat. Yeah, he did. So as a spotter, have you guys done anything like that? Maybe gotten in somebody's face on the spotter stand? T.J. has. I mean, yeah, that's happened. Quite a few times probably. I'm 5'7.

I'll fight anything. No, I'm just kidding. Yeah, we go at it sometimes. I mean, we have our moments. I don't think physically. physically. There's been some pushing. I don't ever I'm on the side of

we can only do so much. We're not driving the race cars. You can be mad at another guy and go down there like in Daytona last year in July race. There was a line of spotters to get to Mike Herman who was spotting for Ricky. There was a line of people behind him and we had to take numbers to get to him.

I was one of them. Yeah, I mean we all were basically. Yeah, pretty much. But he's not driving it. He's not turning the car. He's not doing any of that stuff. there comes a sometimes i get more mad at like at lapped cars or something like that when they see you come and they know where you're on them and then you get there and that's oh i'm going to follow this guy for 30 laps then i'm going to decide to pass them right when you get there it's like you could have this you feel like the spotter could have helped you know be more efficient right

there right you get more mad at stuff like that rather than rec sometimes these guys are going to hit and there's nothing we can do about it they're the ones driving the cars so i think we you know as a whole we probably take it A little too personal sometimes. There's definitely, there's a handful of guys on a roof that definitely let it get to them more than others. And look, sometimes they hit. They touch. Yeah, I'm not pushing the gas pedal.

I'm not pushing the brake pedal. I'm not turning the wheel. Did I tell him you were there? Yeah. Did he hit you? Yeah. So what are we going to do about it? Nothing.

So, but there's definitely a few people that. There's probably, what, probably, at least on the cup roof, probably 30 spotters, maybe a little more that. really you have no 90% of the time you have no issues. Yeah. And then there's a few that every week you have the issue with the same person. And they just get too emotional sometimes. But yeah, so I would pay to see Robert Presley and you fight. Because Robert is a...

I'm glad it wasn't on video. He's a big man. So, anyway, what do you get next? I found, what is he? He's a, I don't know how I pronounce this name of this county. It's like Buncombe County District. Buncombe? Yeah.

Yeah, maybe that's it. Bunkham County County Commissioner in District 3. Buncom County Commissioner. Yep. Hot Dog, entrepreneur, and county commissioner. And several-time Bush Series winner. I don't know if he could, he didn't win a cup race, did he? I don't think so.

Maybe. I don't think he won a cup race. No. I don't think he was in that good of cars. No, I think he drove the Jasper cars for a while. He drove Jasper cars for a while, yeah. He was tough to beat on Saturdays. He's most famously known for the 15th.

Kingsford, I'd say car. Alliance. Truckee. Yeah. Oh, that was the black and gold one, right? Yes, it was. Yeah. All right, what else you got?

Spot on, spot off. The race at Kentucky under the current arrow package versus previous Kentucky races. How about you, Tim? Well, I think, you know, obviously that the restart at the end was phenomenal. But I got to thinking to myself, I restarted. Spot off, sorry. Yeah. I've always gotten, have been pretty good there.

And I don't know if it had been any bigger difference with our former arrow package. What do you think, TJ? I thought. Oh, I think this arrow package, it's definitely made it better. Just because of the cars and, you know, you're not going to tan them with the old package like that. Kurt's never going to get that run. We're probably not going to. You're probably not going to, you're not going to gain speed.

Hang on someone's right recorder as well. You're not going to gain speed like they do as a pod or whatever. When two cars hook up, they take off. So, I mean, Denny and Kyle at Daytona were able to stay racing for the lead because they were tandem compared to the whole bottom lane who was eight cars in the draft clear. They were able to stay up front doing that. So when two cars, when they hook up, man, it's a big advantage. You just can't do it. But for a half a lap, after you get through that first corner getting up to speed, Larson's going to have to lift in three and get air back on his nose at some point.

But I think this package definitely, it's like when you get a big. cluster. When they're closer together, there's just kind of like, there's just a bigger hole there where guys can get runs and move and we're definitely three wide on resarts way more than now with this package, I think. But I think they did. They did last year, didn't they put the stuff on the bottom? I think they did, yes. And then everyone got on them like, why did you put it in the groove? And then they were like, oh, I think we know what we're doing.

And we're all like, no, I don't think you know what you're doing. Whatever they did this time, I thought was great. Right. The track was the widest I've ever seen it. I don't, I mean, that's as wide as ever seen him race there. So I thought the race was good. I thought runs, it was a momentum track. You had time your runs like always.

You had to block. You had to block. And obviously guys were having handling problems too. Jimmy got loose and wrecked by himself. I mean, we were inside of him, but the guy lost it. So I know they had their hands full. So, I mean, I'm spot on for it. I thought everything was pretty good this weekend.

I thought the racing was good. everyone I've talked to thought it was pretty good too. So I don't know, Jason, you watched it on TV, right? I was not in a position to watch the race. My brother's grad party was that day, and I had a little too much, so I don't remember anything from Saturday. I see drunk? Yeah, exactly.

Capri Sons. Any more pictures from that? No, I did not take any pictures. Joey Lugano drops from first to seventh on the overtime restarts. What do you think, TJ? You're going to ask. Spot on. Oh, yeah.

Yeah, I mean, spot off. I mean, yeah, that sucked. I don't know what other way to put it. That's, you know, we've been in position to win a few more races this year, and we've kind of, you know, made a mistake. I don't think we stopped those two cars together, but, you know, it's good and bad. It sucks to run really good and be the fastest car at the end and then lose the race. And then it's all, you know, it's good because you got speed.

And you know, we're fast. We had a shot at it. But it just sucks to go from winning to losing. Did Joey have any feedback over the radio? Like, did he make any comments? He was frustrated, but he gets it, I think. And we text a little bit after the race, and we're kind of in the same boat. Not sure we could have stopped that run.

It's almost like we got too good of a restart. We were side by side with Kyle. And Kyle did hit us a little bit, I think. he hit us in the quarter or hit us in the door or something a little bit. But we just got too far in front of the one. Then they got together and got a big run. And you can get a draft in this package pretty easily. So, yeah, just didn't work out how we wanted to.

What about you, Tim? Spot off. I mean, I've been where TJ's at. We've had the fastest cars lots of times and not being able to finish at the end because of a restart. So, you know, it's hard to take. I mean, it just drives you crazy. I'm sure TJ went back, watched video, Joey watch video

And then you say, well, if we'd have just done this differently If I'd have, you know, side drafted or not got a good start, not took off as quick, you analyze it, you overanalyze it. And at the end of the day,

you know, when you go home, how many lapsed to Kurt lead? We won a stage, I think. He ran good, but you guys pretty much, you know, down the day of the race. I mean, we caught Curtain past him.

Yeah, that's what I mean. So, I mean, I don't. It was your day. And then you get a yell. car with the two best cars. Kyle got up there because he restarted eighth. We restarted on the bottom. He was able to get all the way to like third or fourth off the first corner.

And then he was able to get to the lead after that. We're stuck on the inside. We come off turn two and like 11th. So you're going to have a lot further to go. So yeah, it just kind of stings, but you just go back, look at it. And you could be in that situation again, but there is no telling the 18 is going to get that restart. The guy behind you is going to be laid off of Kurt. starts right behind us and gets a good restart and doesn't lay off a car length.

I don't think he goes around us. I don't think he can. So, you know, things just worked out perfectly, and Kurt made all the right moves to get to the lead. And he's good at this package. Yeah, congrats to Kurt for making it work. You know, he got up on the wheel and got it done. Next topic. The Bush Brothers Battle for the win.

Spot on, spot off, Tim. I mean, spot on. that was great racing. I mean, you got two brothers, and, you know, I was mad at the one for putting us in the wall earlier. But in the end of the day, I mean, it was a great race, great to watch. You're wondering, you're thinking, they can take each other out here because it looks like, I mean, they come so close to wrecking each other. I mean, they did everything they did to not to wreck each other, but didn't. So to me, that was real good car control on both parts.

And I think, you know, as a fan, I mean, I do it every week. And that's a great finish. And it always will be. I'm spot off. Of course you are. Because it would have been great to have those two get into it somehow. And this carry on. This would have been great for the sport if they get mad at each other.

Because Kurt's, Kurt is quietly running very good. Nobody sees him, but he's finishing fourth, fifth, six all the time. and Kyle you always know the outcome because he always has something to say about it too. I think, you know, it'd be not that I want a family feud, but I think it'd be pretty entertaining. These two are very, very colorful and vocal about certain, you know, it was great to see Kurt's emotion in Victory Lane. I thought it was really cool. The guys rode back on the car. But these two going at it week to week, not giving each other an inch being, you know, like feeling like they owe each other. one could have been pretty entertaining.

Didn't they wreck each other on like the All-Star Racing Chils in Seven or something? Yeah, because they weren't like talking at Thanksgiving dinner. There was something going on there. This is a golden opportunity or something like that. They go to, and they're both really fast, so it could be fun to watch. Could go on and on. Yeah. I thought it was cool just with how the challenges that Gannasi has faced over the last few, last season.

I think they needed this. How about Kurt's excitement? When he got out of the car on the front stretch, I heard him doing an interview. and he was like yelling and hollering and stuff and you know that's like you can tell he hasn't been there in a little while and he was like I liked that so congrats to Kurt in that team it's pretty cool let's see what's coming up this week on the Dale Jr. Download listen up when you're done listening to door bumper clear go listen and subscribe to my podcast the Dale Jr. Download This week a competitor turned colleague Hall of Famer Dale Jared is in the house plus

If yours wins, seriously, there has to be something wrong because I'm the only one that did not win. Bradley Cooper's popular. David Ortiz is too. I assume I'm going to have to keep up in the bed, but we'll see. Jason?

Where are you born again? New York. Oh, yeah, here we go. Yeah. You know who his favorite football team is? Jess. Just guess. No, no, no, way worse.

Guess. Who's the worst team in the NFL to be? Who's the worst fan that you want to meet? Cleveland. No. Not the fan. I mean, worst team traditionally. Well, if you were to find a fan, a football, you know, if a guy shows up here and he's wearing a football jersey from all the Patriots.

Exactly. Yeah. Well, I thought you met the worst team. I was thinking. Well, he's a fan of their candy. No, Patriots, I've always been a Boston sports fan. My grandparents are from there. So I didn't bid on a Patriots thing to contrast with your bills helmet.

So I went Red Sox, which is a little different. So we'll get it. Whatever. 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 stop? Some talking. Good luck. Fast Lane. First question. Kurt Bush won his first race with Chip Gnack. racing before his former team Stuart Haas racing has visited Victory Lane this season. Would you have expected Bush to win before SHR at the beginning of the year? What do you think, T.J?

You know, I wouldn't have picked this with, you know, Stuart Haas has a really strong, stable of cars, and they've had a lot of speed. Last year, dominated Talladega at the end of the year. Real fast company right now. So I don't, you know, odds are stacked against them, And I'm kind of surprised to see Kurt get there before the, really the four, in my opinion, would have been my first guess. But Timmy's holding them back. Yeah, definitely. Definitely a surprise for me. But, you know, Kurt's a great race car driver, and they've got a good team at Chip Ganassi.

And with this package, I think it's a game changer as far as different people being able to win different teams. So a surprise, yes, but not a mind-blower. Yeah, I think Kurt's, I think a lot of people underestimate how good Kurt can really be. Kurt is obviously a past champion, but Kurt's really good. And, you know, I think people overlook that a lot because when you think Kurt Bush, if you Google Kurt Bush or look Kurt Bush up on YouTube, most things that come up are Kurt Bush loses his mind here and there. But Kurt has won a lot of races. Kurt used to dominate Bristol.

Like if you went to Bristol, Kurt or Kyle, you know, really Kurt for a while was going to win. It was just, he was so good there. Really good. I agree with that. I mean, Kurt's awesome. And, you know, I think he's got, had something to prove this year, too, by switching teams. Yeah, I agree.

A chip on a shoulder. He did. He's a chip on a shoulder for sure. Mission accomplished. What's one race in your spotting career that you wish you could have a do-over for Tim? Jason had a chip on his shoulder, but he ate it. Shut up. Wow, fat jokes.

Real cool, guys. I wasn't a fat joke. He likes chips joke. Jason 2010 liked chips. Clearly. All right. I think the year, the one race I'd like to have back was, where are you doing Daytona?

14. 14. Didn't you, did the yellow come out? Forgive me if I'm wrong in the last lap. And we had a push from, I think we had a push from Joey. You were with junior, right? Yeah. And you guys won.

We had a push. We're going on the second. We get a push. We're coming down the backstretch, and we got all the momentum in the world. I don't think that was it. It wasn't? I think it was. There's a couple.

I mean, there's a couple mistakes I've made. You got wrecked in that one. And 14? Yeah, you got wrecked off a 4. It might have been 15 and 16. No, you started the wreck. Oh, come on. You were in the middle.

Clear high. You were in the middle, and you went out there and you clipped Kyle or something. You were in the middle because Stenhouse hung Kyle. And, McMurray I just know Carl made it yeah it wasn't 14

we were we were I think you were pushing us with junior joy I think Joey won it yeah that was 16 maybe 17 I think I don't have a good memory it comes to that

but something like that I do know we're in position to win it and the yellow come out you finished second yes yeah I was third behind you yes

I knew we were in it together we were behind you and if that lap would have finished yes that was going to be really interesting right yeah because I think we were going to run them down

yes and it was going to really big yeah the yellow come out in the last lap that was 16 I think it was 15 15 my god I won 15 yeah yeah it was 15 then and we were getting the push from you yes and we I mean we were it saved him he had a big guy yeah yeah it was gonna be it was gonna eat him up and I guess you know it's Daytona 500 and that was close to ever come to winning it um as a spotter and uh I wish you had it back yeah there's oh man I got I've got like four five second place finishes in the 500 there's I like to have every single one of them back with another shot to win.

I don't know if there's one I could have back. I guess it might be the 600 when we ran out of gas on the backstretch and you came around and passed us. I wish we had another, you know, milk another gallon of gas in there. I mean, I would have taken this bottle full of gas in that car still. We ran out of gas on the backstretch and got beat to the line by a few hundred yards, really. You passed us and won. Three consecutive races have featured first-time winners this season. Which winless driver has the best chance to extend that streak at New Hampshire?

T.J. I don't know. I would say I really like what William Byron is doing lately. He's been strong. I don't know where he ended up finishing Saturday night, but he had a questionable call on a restart. And he still battled back. He drove away from the leader at that point.

He was fast. Maybe he drives good and mad. But I really like what William Byron's been doing lately. This can be any winless driver this season, not winless in-compet. Yeah, that's what I've. Yeah. This year. This year.

Would you change your pick now? I mean, I'm probably to a Larson. I feel like he's a little closer still. Well, I mean, I hate to be biased, but. I forgot. We haven't won a race this year. And I feel like New Hampshire is a great race for our team and for Kevin. and I think the package is a little is good.

I'm looking forward to having a little horse power this weekend. One there last year, right? I believe so. So, I mean, I feel like, you know, but it's hard when you haven't won. You know, you start doubting yourselves. We've done a good job as a team. So like I said, I hate to be biased, but I'm going to root for my guy. I'll root for you too.

You know, I got a question. This is kind of off the wall for you right here. What do you, I feel like, just because I'm a lot of, on the other side of it. I'm looking at Kevin. To me, this package doesn't fit Kevin's driving style. Kevin's more of a, he's a finesse driver that can go find, he can go find that extra 10th and stuff. Once the race settles in, he's one of them guys that'll just, he'll get you a 10th every lap. He knows how to find, he knows how to find that speed, and it's harder to do with this package. It is. It's definitely a different driving style all the way around. And I think, you know,

when you do something so long, you kind of get used to it and you know what you got to do. you think about it in the off season and he's done that for so long it's in a routine so i think you know he's yes i think he's had to break his routine but uh you know we we won the all-star race when they first introduced this package and you know you it was he drove his butt off to do it and was aggressive and and uh you know but i think i feel like he could take a car before that was he could take a a fifth place car and run second or third with like he he was you know you guys had good cars, but now your hands are kind of tied a lot more with that. And, you know, Kevin, to me, is from the old school of driving. You know, he's from the old school, and they didn't have

the draft, and it wasn't all about momentum. It was a little bit about momentum, but, you know, you had to get to the, let the car work, let it roll, but this is just, there's so much throttle time here now. It's, it's just, it's just different. I think it is. I mean, and he's, I mean, I would say it's been a learning curve for not only him, but a lot of the drivers that Oh, everybody, really. Yeah, I mean. Yeah, but he, I just think that being driving one way for so long. Well, it's got to be hard.

It's got to be different. All William Byron knows is this. Right. You know, so he's like, oh, that's how we're supposed to drive. Right. That's what you learned. In four or five years, that kid's still running. He's probably going to be.

Yes, spot on. Yeah, yeah. So, I was just curious about that. I mean, I think so. You know, but as we've progressed through this package this year, I've watched, you know, Kevin worked real hard at doing it. He has a, you know, it's harder for. guys like Kevin that have been around to race, I don't want to say like an idiot, but half the time

you got to race like an idiot. And that wasn't acceptable. There was a code of conduct you had to abide by. You didn't race like, you didn't race eight years ago like what you race now. It was like, oh, you caught me, go ahead, I'll get you back later. Right. Right. You waived him by. There's a gentleman's agreement more. Now it's up, it's a cut throat. I'm coming down. I'm going to pinch you. I'm going to drive you to the flat. And that's every lap. Yeah, every lap. Start to finish. Yes, every lap. Off the wall question.

Tuesday is National Personal Chef Day. Would you rather have a personal chef cook you every meal and never eat at a restaurant again or only be able to order meals from your favorite restaurants anywhere in the world on demand? That's a tough one. I don't know what I would do. Tim, what do you think? Personal chef. Yeah, absolutely.

Fair. Yeah, I'm going personal chef too. Would you have them cook like super healthy or? or everything you want. I think, you know, I've been wanting to lose a little weight, so it would start off as healthy. And then once I got bored with that, I think it'd be cool to have a chef. It'd be awesome.

You'd save you so much time. I cook a lot of my house, so it'd be cool to have somebody come in and just prepare meals. I mean, it'd be awesome. That's so much time that saves you. I thought you did have a chef. Yeah, me, myself, and I. When you worked for Dale Jr., he has a chef. Yeah, that's right.

Yeah, I knew real funny. Let me tell you some. the higher they are the ladder, the more, never mind, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not going to go there. Yeah, we're going to let this go. I'm going to eat a ride later this year or something. Jason, what would you pick? I think I would do the personal chef too because it's like, hey, I'm hungry now. Cook me this. Yeah, you make steak. No, you make salmon. That's gross. You don't like salmon? No. T. TJ doesn't like seafood, but salmon's my favorite. Well, I can't cook if my life depended on it. So let's see personal chef as well. Wow. Are you serious? Yeah, I can't cook.

Maybe you should go to chef school and cook. Do you want cooking classes? Maybe you should do that if you want that lake house. That lake house is going to nice big kitchen for no reason if you don't learn how to cook. She'll just hire a personal chef at that point. Chad, I really think she should get cooking lessons. He knows. He knows I should get cooking lessons.

So he did marry you for food. No, he did not. I can probably share quite a few stories where I've screwed up some stuff, so I'm not going to go there. No. Do tell. What's the biggest screw-up you've made? It was before the cooking started, actually. I went to the grocery store at lunch, and I bought, like, chicken and all this stuff to make food, attempt to make food later on.

And I got home, and I thought I left the chicken at the office, and so I, like, went back out to Publix and got chicken, did everything over again. Oh, my God, it was in your car or something. Yes. Overnight and we were going on vacation the next day. Yep, we were going on vacation the next day. Chad and I had not take, like, by this point, we had not taken a vacation like ever by ourselves. And I was so excited. Like, I actually did my hair.

I was packed all ready to go. I got to my car because we were taking my car and it smelled so bad. I had to take it to the car wash. Chad was livid. Chad was like, seriously, this is what you're doing? Like, you can't cook. You tried to cook. And now you screw that part of that.

That doesn't really count as cooking, though. Well, it's true. That's just being forgetful. But, like, even grocery shopping I can't do, apparently, because I forget the chicken. Why? Why don't just order the groceries on an app and have them delivered? Considering that, actually. I do that sometimes.

Considering it. Have you seen my youngest one meltdown? It's not pretty. She can be hangary. I don't do deal with that. Although, I do take her to the store now. She has to get that. We have to go to the store where it has a little shopping cart.

The tiny one for kids, you know? Yeah. And you'll see soon. Really? Will I. Is there something I'm not aware of? I have to fill her card up first. If I go to put something in my, she's like, no, no, no, no. That's cute. Yeah, she's fun. What is OfferPad? We're the new way homes are sold.

So I'm slowly working on it. Well, it's an easy process. You know, it only takes about five minutes to submit your home. And within 24 hours, you get a response back, and Chad will accept it, and you'll get your dream home. It is impressive.

Make sure you let Chad know that once you sell and close, they'll move you for free.

I want you to move me, though. That's a negative. Oh, come on. A true friend would help a true friend move. This is true. I guess, I don't know that I'd trust you, though, so maybe I should just leave it to offer. You haven't offered a babysit. Why would I do that?

Why would offer to move you? So while T.J. moves Casey's house, Casey can babysit. Yeah, sounds good. I'm not sure I agree with that. I'll just let Offer Pad do it. You might want to practice babysitting anyway. Why? You're pregnant, right?

Oh, my God. Next, what are you to say, Jason? Check out offerpad.com. Yeah, offerpad.com. Want to sell your house? Quick, easy way. 24 hours. Take it.

Can't get easier, honestly. Well, ask DBC. First one, naturally bright. Can't go away from us. The one car, one stage one with 80 laps on his tires. You've been saying the package needs tweaking. What needs tweaking more? The package or the tires?

Clearly, Brett has hinted what he feels. Timmy, what do you think about tires? I mean, I think they need to fall off more. Yeah, we've been saying for a long time we need tires that fall off. And we have, we, I want a tire that gives the guy 8th to 10th on back. Or, you know, the guy 6th to 10th, I want that guy to think about pitting. You know, well, should I pit? I don't know.

You know, we need buffer calls. We need a group of six or eight that stay out because it's going to be close to get back to them. And we need to give these guys some sort of an advantage and not just fuel. Right now it's only fuel. Right. It's time on pit road is your advantage. Last time on pit road is your advantage, period. So I want to make it.

So not, I mean, I'm actually fine with any fall off because if you have any fall, like, the more, the better, in my opinion. But it just makes it questionable when you have so many sets of tires and they're falling off, you have a lot of cautions. it can cycle the field though sometimes. Like it can create some comers and goers. And we definitely, I think Goodyear bills, they obviously build an exceptional type. Right. I mean, it's not phenomenal.

So, you know, maybe. We have comers and goers now because of the fuel only. So, yeah. I mean, you can argue that that, you know. To me, though, when tires were out, when they wear out, they lose grip. When they lose grip, the guy in a seat has to drive it. Some of our best races come when these guys,

guys get out and they're like, this thing drives so bad. These things are so hard to drive. Those are the best races because those guys are wheeling it. And they're really good at it too. These guys are these drivers, I don't. Well, I mean, plus they're phenomenal. These cup drivers are. And to see them actually wheel some of these cars, I mean, I love watching them do it. Well, and, you know, it's, I think right now it's, there's no saving of tire during your run. You just run it as hard as you can until you get more tires and then it really ain't, you know, this past weekend, it seemed to be worse than normal, I would say, went you as far as the tires just didn't wear out, didn't slow down much. Yeah, I think it definitely, there really wasn't an issue.

You used to be, you know, Darrell-Waltrip would ride. I will say the only, yeah, and ride, and ride, and ride. Take care of stuff. Take care of stuff. You never, you don't take care of your stuff. You take care of your, you know, knocking fenders in or. Yeah, now you're taking care of your car, really. Back then it was, don't spin the tire, you know, easy underthroat,

It short tracks Bristol, Martinsville. The guys that went real hard, and some of them didn't know any better, they'd go real hard, burn their tires off. Then next thing you know, they got no, a guy screaming, I got no drive off the corner. Well, that's because you ran hard for 25 laps. Now you're going backwards. Right. And you had the guys like, you know, like Mark Martin.

He's finette. Carl was really good at saving tires. Edwards, he was one of the better ones that I remember. Place like Atlanta, you didn't see him for a while. Then all of a sudden, the last half of the run, here comes this guy. He's flying. So it's definitely, I think it's, I like tire fall off because they got to drive it. And it creates different pit cycles.

Yeah, that would be the biggest tweak, I think, right now. Yeah, for sure. Let's see if Brett will answer. I thought, I was kind of happy having a break from him for a few hours. No break, Casey. Let's just see if he answers because I'm hoping they're getting lunch because they feel really bad. He doesn't answer. He's hurting.

Probably passed out somewhere. You can try to call Freddy. Yeah, we'll get Freddy next. Let's call Freddy. If one don't answer, the other one's not going to answer. They're probably looking at each other right now. Like, don't answer that. That's disappointing.

It is disappointing. That's very disappointing. Freddie and Brett, I'm disappointing you guys. Freddie, do we say where they were? Lake of the Ozarks? Yeah, did I say that earlier? No. So they flew right after the race to the Ozarks.

I've done this once before as well, but it's a good time. It's not even really a lake. It's a river, but it's a really wide river. It's a great time, though. It's a great time. I'm, you know, have you watched that show, the Ozarks?

Yes, I do. I have. Have you seen it? Netflix. It's sort of like the first episode and then gave up. I'm really hoping Freddie and Brett didn't get involved. We may never see them again. At this point, anything's possible.

All right, what do you got? Next question from NASCAR, Josh. Since you both are former NASCAR, Since you both are former drivers turned spotters, how has your driving experience helped your spotting careers? What do you think, Tim? Well, I think you're just more relatable to the driver you're working with because you've seen, you kind of been in their shoes before. I think that's the biggest help that kind of get you in the door with your driver. You have something to talk about.

And when they say something on the radio about the car or what's going on, you can relate your past experiences to help them. That's when I first got sent to the roof, I was scared to death, had no idea. And I went up there and I'm like, okay, well, I guess I'll just tell this guy what I'd want to hear. I imagine myself rolling off pit road and just started describing what I would want to hear. Freddie texts me and said he's too hung over to talk. Of course you did. But, yeah, you just, I just tried to tell the driver what I'd want to hear whenever I was driving. So that's, apparently I was good at it or something because it kind of got sucked into it from

there. Clearly. Apparently. This question is from Polish Missly 2. Polish Missley 2, sorry. I want to know Tim's side of the story about the IMS sandwich incident. Do we know what this is? Can we recap it quickly?

TJ, would you like to? So let's get this straight. I got a problem with this too. You know, we don't just throw stuff. off the roof for fun. You don't want to drop your stuff, first of all. And I got to blame the other guy who should have caught. Who was it?

Chris Sims. Chris Sims. It's from Canada, right? I'm not sure where Chris is from. Good guy. North. Yeah. So Timmy wants to know.

I would bring sandwiches up for the group, a handful of them. Was it a Big John sandwich? Oh, it's Jimmy Johns. Jimmy Johns, okay. So Timmy's got Jimi Jones. I'm just saying, Jimmy John's good sandwiches. hands him out, goes to toss this guy won, and this guy drops more things than the Buffalo Bills did last year.

Their receivers did drop more passes than anybody in NFL. This guy fumbles it, you know, does like what I picture Jason doing if I were to throw something at him. I can catch. It was a tight spiral. He was one level down, but behind him was... The ground. Six, seven stories down.

It was on the pagoda, right? He was on the pagoda at Indy. And it was my last sandwich. Everybody, they had all been handed out. And Chris goes like, you know, holds his hands up in the air. And I hit him right in the hands. It might have been a little hot. But it was a good throw.

And away, he threw his hands and went down. Maybe the sandwich was toasted. And so it went down, seven, eight floors, past Homeland Security, because they're right below us at IMS. So they see it go by. And the story goes. it landed next to the GM. It landed next to the track president, I think, right?

The track president, that's right. Yeah. And this guy goes, flies hot, like mad. Like, what if that would have hit somebody? Well, I mean, Tara would be covered in lettuce and lunch meat. Right. But, you know, regardless, they come up there and they... We're in the middle of practice.

Yeah. Like, we're going ready to do a mock run. And I've seen Elton Sawyer, who's a friend of mine, who's a former race car driver, who's an official, he was asking the official on the roof. I read his lips. He said it was WTF. And I just read his lips.

And then the next thing I know, the NASCAR, what's his name? The cop, the one that rests everybody if they take their hard cards. He'd come up and they got a couple enforcers. I think it is Mike. Mike Lentz? Yes, Mike Lentz. Yes, Mike was on the roof. And I knew it was about to go.

go down. So I didn't make eye contact with him because I knew what was going to happen. He's intimidating. He's a nice guy, but he could be super intimidated. He's like, isn't he X like CIA or something? Yeah. It looks like CIA. Like, hey. Yeah. He shows up. You're like, oh. Yep, basically. So Mike just gives me to come over here right now. So I go over there and he goes, I need your hard card. I'm like, what do you mean you need my hard card? He said, you're coming with me. I need your hard card. So I physically took my hard card off, gave it to him. And, and, and, he said, what do you mean? And, what do you mean? And, he's, what do you mean, he's, and and went down to the trailer to see. What did you tell Kevin on the radio?

Well, I told Rodney, I said, Rodney, you're going to have to get somebody up here. They're throwing me off the roof. He said, for what? I said, because I threw a sandwich. He said, you did what? It's so odd. I mean, at least making something good. Yeah, I mean, so one of our transporter drivers, Mitchell ran up, you know, 110 degrees,

and he had to run a half mile to get us out for our. I think actually Steve Barkdahl took my headset and guided us out so luckily they all covered for me they were madder and I was about most of the spotters

because you know like DJs we don't do anything well the only I got mad because you know they had I'm giving his hard card back right yeah they did and they were real nice

NASCAR was great about because NASCAR didn't know what what you know they didn't know the story it was a slap in the wrist kind of thing they just wanted to get to the bottom of it and that's how they did it

so my problem I think he went to NASCAR I was like, hey, we got to do something about this. So they did follow the right protocols, whatever, and took care of it. But my problem is, they come up there race day with a fishing pole and a sandwich and do like a skid of it, like making, like joking about it for. NASCAR did it? Yes. No.

No, IMS. Yes. Seriously? Well, they wanted to. And then use it as a. It kind of turned on them. You know, it turned into such a social media blast. It was just an accident.

And it was funny, you know, it was a good story. Yeah. And, you know, then next thing you know, there's, you know, there's all sorts of stuff going on. But it was. It was interesting. It was interesting, to say at least. Nobody did. I just wanted to go away because, I mean, I don't want to.

I didn't really want to attention. And you were being nice and giving the guy a sandwich. I mean, it was no big deal, but it turned into this huge fiasco. How about just, hey, guys, be really careful. Please don't do that again. That's like our worst fear. We're on the roof. Yeah, that is my place.

You know, we hang stuff on the rails, our fan visions. our binoculars, our radios, and stuff happens. Like, you drop things as a human. But for us, a lot of places don't have a little catch fence. You're sitting there talking somebody, the guy next to your turns around and he bumps your something, bumps your drink, I don't know, sandwich. It could fall down over the, I mean, it's not like you want it to fall. No, we try.

We do our best. We try to be good professionals. I would say we went there for a while. We go years without doing something. Then all of a sudden it was like three things and three weeks. It was like, oh, man, we're getting back. I'm glad you both survived it. I'm glad, you know, no one got hurt.

I was glad I got a hand. Sandwich can be rough sometimes. I got a handoff. I didn't do the throw. Oh, anything we want to rant about today. You got any rants, Timmy? No big rants. You don't want to complain about anything?

No. Just, I would like see fall off on the tires. That's my biggest, that's been my rant about the whole package. Who's the last spotter you got mad at? Last spotter I got mad at. Right. No, I don't get mad at Brett. Me and TJ have been into it a few times.

Probably. Just arguing. Just arguing our point. He's very, you know, it's more. I argue until I'm right most of the time. Yeah. But. But, uh...

Well, if you're not right. I am. That's why I'm arguing. Of course. So, yeah. I'm trying to think of, what's the most uncomfortable situation you ever, you ever been put in inside the race car? Inside the race car? Oh, yeah.

What do you mean? Like, did you ever get sick, mad at somebody? Okay, I got a good one. So I wrecked at Nashville in the Bush race early, and Hank Parker, Jr. got sick and needed a relief driver. So they come down and said, hey, Hank Parker. 36 car probably, right? 36 car.

I was in a 36. I think he was in. He also drove that team. But I can't remember who's, I think it was his dad's team. Yeah. Anyhow. And they said, hey, Tim, can you get in there and finish the race for us? I said, sure.

So I did. I finished the race. And like two days later, one of his buddies calls me, Hey, go, you know, Hank, he lost his stuff in the seat. Threw up, plus other things. And I'm like, are you kidding me? You didn't tell me all that. I never got, you know what I mean? So that was a bad situation to be in the race car.

That's not fun. It's probably super hot too. It was very hot. It was a hot summer day, but poor Hank, he was, you know, stuff that. We've all been sick in a race car. I had an itch when it dried. Yeah. That's great.

What? What about you? Any interesting stories? I don't have any interesting stories. Oh, of course you do. DVC picks for New Hampshire. I think, Tim, you should just pick for Brett and feel free to pick. It doesn't even.

No, Brett sent me his pick, so. Oh, yeah. Let's see what T.J.'s got. He's whoopin. Where are we going, Loudon? Oh, Jesus. He's probably going to take Kurt. I'll take Hemrick.

All right. He's taking Ryan Priest. So it'll be a good little matchup there. Tim, who would you pick? I'm not sure what we're doing here. Oh, so you basically pick. These are the list of drivers that we got left to pick from. I've been, I've lost the last, one, two, three, four, six, Jason?

I've lost the last six, Jason. I've lost the last six. Some of them by one spot. We were tied, and then I lost the last six. So this is my list for Loudoun. All the blue ones I can pick from. Out of the blue ones. Yeah, and then he's going to pick one of the red ones

to match me and try to beat me with him. Newman. You know Newman's good there, don't you? Yeah, I figured Hemrick's a short tracker, though. Newman's good at Loudon. And they'll play the pitch. Okay, I'm changing my pick to Newman. All right.

He's got pretty still, so. Yeah, that's fine. help use all the help you can get it. I'm going to take Priese. T.J. hasn't picked a good one in the last six weeks. Who is his pick if I picked priests? DeBendidendo. Thanks. Who's the favorite?

Honestly, I have no idea with this package going in there. I really don't know. Kevin, I'd say Kevin, Brad, had been really good there. Brad's pretty awesome, yeah. Yeah, but this is all prior to this new package stuff. So, yeah, I don't, it's hard to

pick now you don't you don't really know i would say i don't even know where to compare this place to no we really don't go i mean you say richmond maybe the short just because it's short track but it's really not comparable and they're apparently they're spraying the track too so who knows where the grip's going to be and who's going to who's going to find it um yeah i really i really don't know it's so hard to tell when they do this stuff like that and i mean it's going to be interesting but we only go there once now so yeah we only have at once yeah we go to Vegas later this year So it'll be interesting. Jason, did you watch?

Yes, I watched Shaw Shank Redemption. You say it right. Shaw Shank Redemption. Good gosh. Shaw Shank Redemption. Shaw Shank Redemption. It was a good movie. Morgan Freeman's an awesome actor.

He's actually the executive producer one of my favorite TV shows, so I haven't really watched many movies with him, but the story was really good. I don't really want to go to prison that life doesn't look too enjoyable. I remember Brett had his prison resort idea. I just don't think after watching

getting an inside look of prison like that wasn't the best, The main character, how he was so, like, he wasn't convicted of, well, he was convicted of murder, but didn't actually do it, and then escaped, like, had that whole time, was plenty of escape. That was interesting. And then he was helping them with her finances. And I thought he was a really good actor as well. So it was a good movie, very dramatic and not as funny as the ones I've seen in the last couple weeks, but it was good. Yeah, it's a good.

Brooks, remember Brooks? Yep. Brooks was here. Timmy, you want to recommend a movie? This kid hasn't seen anything. prior to like three years ago. So anything good from the 90s, maybe some, if it's funny from the 80s. From the 80s.

I mean, try to be, if it goes by that far, it's got to be funny because he'll, he's a Fass Times Ridgemont High. That one's been brought up before, hasn't it? Have you seen it? No, I haven't heard of that one. I've never heard of Fast Times Ridgemont High. Yeah, you got to watch that. Done.

Yeah. Sounds good. He literally hasn't seen anything. Booneys. Goonies is great. Was that on the list? Is that made that? Have you seen the game?

No, yeah, I saw Goonies. That was one of the first ones. Yeah, but he hadn't seen it until we told him. Freddie did the truffle shuffle. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. That's right. But yeah, I mean, Howard the Ducks, something like that.

All right. Well, thanks. We have kind of a Hall of Fame rejoining us. I know. It's way cooler than Brett. Michigan. Yes, way cooler. So thank you so much for joining.

We won't get a call from NASCAR this week. Brett's not here, so that's good. One last update on our pristine auction item. What is it? It's still $20 for the David Ortiz signed baseball and pristine auction. So I'm going to keep bidding the next couple days and hopefully doesn't go as high as a Bradley Cooper photo. You watch. We'll end up paying $400 for this thing.

We will not. But we won't for what I want. I know. That's what I'm saying. This kid's back here in the Kyle Bush shorts. No. Bid all the end. Mike got Red Sox shorts on.

Bid. Mike Davis will see how much I spend on it. Jason. Stop hiding it. We know. We know. Big Red Sox fan. All right.

Well, thank you guys so much for to listen. Thank you. You're going to say holla? Hala. I can't. That was impressive. I've heard it enough time. Yeah.

Have a great week. See you. Check out Dirty Mo Media on YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. Dirty Mo.
