Starting point is 00:01:58 And virtually joining me today. What's up? Brett Griffin, spotter for, hell, none of a spot for anything anymore. I don't know what we do right now. I'm a quarantine day number 13. T.J did yesterday. It's true. brought back old times
Starting point is 00:02:13 what's up freddy craft uh not doing a whole lot of anything these days just hanging out with kacy and our producer jason sitting on that couch oh
Starting point is 00:02:24 are you hey so if that couch is big enough are you able to socially distance yourself from megian yeah we're we can stay me meg and my brother can stay six feet apart it's amazing
Starting point is 00:02:37 they have to text each other they can't even hear each other that couch so big. I wish, hey, Jason, can we make it where everybody can hear all those stupid questions that Casey asked before we actually go live on one of these things? All I asked is if you can hear if I got an email. I don't understand. Like, I've never heard of Zoom until you guys, and I've never Skyped until you guys,
Starting point is 00:02:57 but at least I don't ask a lot of stupid questions. I've never used Zoom before, okay? You're really starting off on the right. You just told me. You said you had news done. You do Zoom all the time. I use Teams or WebEx. I don't use Zoom.
Starting point is 00:03:10 so sorry you are just you are you've started the show off real great right now real great thank you well we were ready to record 10 minutes ago but we had to wait on you
Starting point is 00:03:24 to ask those questions and then by the time we were ready to record again I had to use my face reset like then when he's to get ready to count down 3 2 1 let's record I had to reenter my password that's how long we sat there my phone went back to it it's normal lock screen for your wife who has to live with you
Starting point is 00:03:38 because I honestly could barely take a show with you each week. I think both of our wives were getting ready to leave us yesterday. Before we get started, we have to do a check because, you know, we're recording at home, we're recording remotely, and we can only see each other's heads. So is everyone wearing pants? Can we do a pants check? I mean, I've got pants on, yes. Good, good, just trying to make sure.
Starting point is 00:04:04 Brett would be the one I'm concerned about. I wish everybody could have seen Brett's hair about 15 minutes ago. It was amazing. I didn't even know he had hair, and it was... You look like that kid from... What's that super... Like that family of superheroes. The Incredibles.
Starting point is 00:04:28 Oh, yeah. The kid from the Incredibles. Oh, boy. So, T.J. had your race go yesterday? Man, it went. It went really good. until we got wrecked. I'm trying to think of how it went.
Starting point is 00:04:43 So I was looking at the time left in practice before the warm-up before the race. And it said like 38 minutes. So I went in and started playing with Stella for a little while. And for about 15, 20 minutes. And I came back into the computer room and they were on lap 15. Apparently it'll start the race without your spotter and that stuff. So that was interesting. I came back.
Starting point is 00:05:07 I'm like, hey, do I miss it? any cautions or anything? And they're like, no, but where are you been? Like, oh, kind of didn't know they were advancing it so quickly. But I saw, I know you guys watched your race and stuff, but pretty fun race. I mean, it's, it's getting, it's taken off more than I thought it would as far as the spotting stuff in there. You're starting to do like most, because you have an in-game spotter as well.
Starting point is 00:05:33 But there's a, you know, it's funny because you can see you guys drive on there with the same tendencies they have in real life. It's one thing that I noticed. You see guys make moves they would make in real life. But pretty fun time. I think we got caught up in a wreck a little bit there. And they did a good job. Stefan did a good job of playing the part of the crew chief
Starting point is 00:05:54 with his headset on and his uniform and everything, which after about five minutes of straight laughing, after I saw him to start a stream, I was ready to go. But pretty good time. Fun to do. I skipped around a little bit. I saw Brett would have been proud because Brett was mad yesterday. that the drivers didn't have their fire suits on
Starting point is 00:06:10 for branding purposes. Well, apparently, Dee Benadetto did. Really? Did you see his tweet? No. Oh, my gosh. You should probably go back to that. Do you follow him on Twitter?
Starting point is 00:06:23 No, I saw that somebody retweeted it. He tweets way too many pictures with his shirt off for me. I can't follow guys like that. Look at me up back in the gym. Is they seen that? Look at the gym. He always dreamed of, tops and bottoms. We're missing.
Starting point is 00:06:37 Of racing in his underwear or something like that. And he purrided. Yeah, he was standing next to his computer in his underwear. And it was pretty a... What? Yes. Oh. You should go back to me.
Starting point is 00:06:49 That's why I don't follow people like that. It's not normal. It's pretty funny. Every time I hear one of us curse, I see Jason's hand reaching to his little screen and hit something. There isn't one single person in the world that's ever been motivated by somebody tweeting a picture from a gym. You look like an idiot.
Starting point is 00:07:07 sending pictures. If you send pictures from the gym or the bathroom, you look like an idiot. I was thinking of what the people at the gym think of the person, like, when they're like posing, butt out at the mirror. You know, like, what's the people behind them? Like, look at this moron. After seeing the picture of you two in your shorts,
Starting point is 00:07:24 I was motivated to go to the gym. See, that worked. We know what works. It was drafting in Brett's house yesterday for some reason. The race was fun, though. Would you all think of it. I saw did you miss a wreck or something? I saw Junior get
Starting point is 00:07:41 on your ass one time about, I don't know, you weren't, he hit the fence and was in the grass and you didn't know how that happened? Oh, yeah, so we're just riding along there. You know how them long runs go when you're all separated out and everything? I look back and he slide through the grass. I'm like, what in the hell did you just do? And so I had
Starting point is 00:07:57 to go back and for some reason my replay wouldn't go back and look and he's like, well, I got loose. Basically he messed up. He made a mistake and hit the wall. And I was like, I mean, as far because you're kind of playing a crew chief because you're thinking about your strategy too a little bit at that point because you've got nothing else to do so um i look up and he's just sliding through the grass and you're like well what happened and then like you know i guess the drive you know how the drivers are they expect you to your eyes to be on them the entire time and the rest of the field of the entire time so you can see every little thing that happens but yeah i figured okay well you're by yourself i don't know i guess he said he just messed up but uh part of it kind of ruined my day I can't believe
Starting point is 00:08:41 how many people have gotten on board with this like whether it was watching qualifying on YouTube I can't remember with the numbers where I was looking at it yesterday but I mean just qualifying like making it in the race was huge and I saw a stat and Jason I wrote it down now I can't even find it but
Starting point is 00:08:57 how many people have signed up for eye racing since this you know what at least I looked it up okay you too like you too Brett TJ you all need to chill. You guys are mean. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:09:11 I know Steve Myers has tweeted some stuff about how many memberships they've gained in the last week. And it was up. I forget what the percentage was, but it's really good for them. I'm sure business is good for them right now. Yeah. It's a great product. There's nothing else to do.
Starting point is 00:09:28 There's no other sport that can simulate what we're able to simulate from a viewing experience. Look, the drivers aren't in fire suits. The drivers aren't pulling Gs. the driver's asses aren't getting any feedback from the car, which is requiring them to call in adjustments to a crew chief, right? You don't have any of that. But from a pure racing perspective, it's the best thing we got. It's the best option we got going.
Starting point is 00:09:50 I mean, the ratings for last week were, I mean, phenomenal. Yeah, it was the most watched, obviously, because there weren't anything going on. But it was, I want to say it was on par with an Xfinity race or so. Yeah, to have a million viewers watch a video game being televised. is phenomenal. And I think what makes that attractive is the names.
Starting point is 00:10:10 You got a lot of big names in this thing. You know, there's a lot of big names that were missing yesterday, too. But just imagine if we got, you know, the top 35 and points to go out and run this thing. The ratings would be probably even more so than what they are. I mean, I don't think Penske had but one driver president yesterday with Blaney, right? Ligano wasn't in it, T.J., is that right? No. And Cendrick didn't qualify in.
Starting point is 00:10:32 He ran that qualifying race. Yeah, so Blaney was the only guy. I mean, you look at Stuart Haas. Clint's the only guy in there, right? Where's Harvick? Where's Custer or Zamorola? Like if you got, honestly, the top 35 guys in points, I think you'd see the ratings almost double.
Starting point is 00:10:46 Yeah. I almost wonder since they're getting so many people involved in it, and now that if you don't do a truck Xfinity race on Saturday and the top 10 of that race or whatever fill out the cut field that shows up or something like that. Yeah. You almost have to. I mean, they had, they had, what, 33 guys, 34 guys in that last chance race yesterday?
Starting point is 00:11:06 And we talked about a little bit on our broadcasts, like, there's guys in that race that probably technically should be locked in the cup race. And there's probably guys in the cup race that shouldn't be in the cup race. If you're a top experience driver, you should pretty much be locked into the cup race. We're just guys of a cup experience. Brisco, to me, Allgaier should be in there. Guys that have been around in the sport for a long time. I don't know. Allgaier was a moron in that LCQ.
Starting point is 00:11:32 I don't know what the hell is. He was a moron when he ran Atlanta with me too. I remember that too What was the deal? Like, were you in that LCQ at all? Like, were you listening? Like, when Anchor went up there and... No, I heard it was pretty entertaining, though.
Starting point is 00:11:46 I'm sure it was. Yeah, your guy, your guy is very animated. I'm surprised, um, I'm surprised you're not in there. You should have a live stream to his channel, which I'm sure you could get. But, uh, yeah, you should... Bubba's? Yeah, oh, yeah. He was, he was streaming live on Twitch yesterday, but I'm not going to hear on there.
Starting point is 00:12:05 He's going to make e-radioactive this week. No, that's what he did last week. I heard him yelling at Swarres one time yesterday. Yeah, that was this week then. He did. Yeah, he's going to make e-radioactive. Yeah, it'll be fun. I mean, I was watching the World of Outlaws race, and that was just as good, too.
Starting point is 00:12:27 So I feel like other sports are now following suit, which is impressive. Yeah, there's a lot of stuff. Yeah, there's a midget race. Yeah, there's a midget race. It's next Thursday, I think. Should be good. I'm ready for, like, UFC to take up. It's going to be like Connor McGregor versus Nate Diaz
Starting point is 00:12:43 and they're going to fight each other and stream from their houses or something like that. And we got to bet on them. It's definitely going to help them get ready for their next match. That's how realistic it all is. I feel so horrible for the wives because I've personally had to tell Chad we need to limit how much you're on irising.
Starting point is 00:13:01 Because it is ridiculous. Like, you can be on there. all day and all night and it's it's too much too much you know what else what else is he going to do yeah i mean you need to let him have his fun now you need to let him have his fun now because when that that little that thing in your belly pops out that's going to change he'll still be i racing let's be real let's be real you guys are ridiculous all right right right well it is in your living room you could put the you can't miss it play right next to it he claims that because he's irasing and I'm sitting on the couch that's spending time together that it counts.
Starting point is 00:13:39 That's true. That is true. You're probably closer than Freddie and Megan. That's probably a fact. All right.

Hey, Freddie, let's call up Elliot Sadler and William Byer and see what they're up to.
Starting point is 00:14:35 Get him on a horn. What's up, Willie B? What's up? How are you doing? Pretty good. How about you? I'm good. I talked to your buddy yesterday.
Starting point is 00:14:46 Oh, did you? Zach? Yeah. Yeah. How was that? It's good. He's going to give me a loner and let me try it first. Okay.
Starting point is 00:14:54 Got you. I'm right here. I mean, I'm right here close to him. Yeah. So he's going to bring me a rig down. Let me try and goof off with it first before I go spending all that money you just spent. Yeah. Yeah, that's a good idea.
Starting point is 00:15:06 All right, so typical Clint, he brings me a simulator. We take it out of his truck. We bring it in my house, and he leaves. They don't nobody tell me how to turn it on. They don't know nobody tell me races. They don't nobody tell me, you, so, Elliot, I know you well enough to know you love computers about as much as I do. Like, you better have Willie B on speed dial because it is confusing to get up and going.
Starting point is 00:15:30 Well, I call Willie B after the race yesterday with texting him, and I'm like, all right, you know, I was a good. teammate when you got started. So now I'm hoping, you know, some things coming full circle. So now that he screwed up and didn't change his cell phone number, so I still had it. I want to try a rig
Starting point is 00:15:48 and as long as we can get it plugged, being it turned on, then I might have to lean on him a little bit. That's true. Yeah, you helped me a lot. So I got to help him back. William, here's the text I sent Elliot. I said, hey, these cars were really loose to drive on this irration thing. He texts me back. He's like,
Starting point is 00:16:05 That's why I quit racing. I don't like loose race cars. That's why I had to retire, man. I got tired of being loose in. Don't tell me, is that what happened to you? All your eye racing stuff, Brett, were you loose in the whole time? I was looser off than I was in, but I didn't understand the throttle thing. That's where William's going to have to come in.
Starting point is 00:16:24 And William, Elliot is very computer illiterate, unless he's learned a lot in the last 15 months when I hadn't seen him as much. So he's going to wear you out. I'm just warning you. Yeah, it's even harder when he don't. start with it like because it's all based on your eye tracking so it's like you can't feel anything which is to i mean it just takes a while to learn that but yeah because the loose in you'll just see it with your eyes and you're like all of a sudden you're sideways so i'm okay with that because
Starting point is 00:16:52 the games i play mad video games it is all based off your vision so that was actually a question i have for you i saw some of the guys like denny and whoever they have rigs that move so do the rigs move in that direction so your butt feels it, or you still using your eyes and kind of catch it with the vision first, like watching the front of your car? Yeah, it's, so for me, I just use it with my vision, but, like, Denny's got that rig that basically moves, and I think it yalls out a little bit.
Starting point is 00:17:22 So, like, it has, like, lateral movement, so it kind of, I guess, gives you that sensation. But I've tried a couple of those. I mean, obviously, they're super expensive, but I don't think you're ever going to get the feel that you would have in your car. So you just have to, you know, you just have to, like, I use the steering wheel in there to kind of know where I'm at with that. And then, you know, you can kind of visually see that. And once you get used to the front of your car, like you said, you know, you kind of adapt over time.
Starting point is 00:17:53 Can you take, wait, can you take Ellie and put him in a room and like him follow you? Like, how does that work? Yeah. Oh, yeah, for sure. Like, we had a session up this password. week with Jimmy and Chase and Alex and we just kind of you can learn a lot from just following somebody and kind of being in the same like chat basically. So like I've got an e-sports team.
Starting point is 00:18:15 So I just get my one of my guys to to run laps with me. We kind of learn off each other that way. So that helps probably the most of anything. I saw some guy like I think it's Denny's guys. Maybe I can't remember their names. But like they had like look like SMT data. Like, you know, throttle trace and steering a degree angle. Like, it's crazy.
Starting point is 00:18:35 Like, I mean, obviously that helps, I would assume. It does. I mean, I don't use the data on there because I'm so fed up with the fact that we have to use data every race this weekend. I'm like, I don't want to have to look at like, they tried to get me on that this week. And I'm like, dude, I'm about to get all. I'm about to just rage quit and turn this thing off. Because I hate looking at graphs and throttle traces. I mean, that taking, eye racing's already got that.
Starting point is 00:19:00 you know, when you're in the sim, you can look at your own stuff. So I don't think it's worth looking at a bunch of data. So Brett, I've got to tell you this. So I texted William yesterday, and I wanted him to give me a direction because obviously he's fast. And I know because of how good he is, but he also would have knowledge of what rigs to use. So I'm like, William, which rigs are good? Because obviously the ones that Clint Boyer and Brett have are broke. I hope what's that kind of.
Starting point is 00:19:28 Or the one Kyle Busch have. he sucks at it. He's a pretty good driver. So I don't want that rigs. That's my first text to hit on. I want one that works. Oh, I think mine was me. I don't think it was a rig.
Starting point is 00:19:45 I think it was me. I sucked at it. 100% you. Oh, it was not good. Have you been watching the races on TV, Elliot? So I have. We watched both of them from flag to flag. My son is eat up with it.
Starting point is 00:19:58 He likes watching the, racing better than the real racing. I mean, we watched it flag to flag. So that's kind of got my curiosity up because he wants to kind of get in it and play and do things. And I'm thinking, man, that's a way for me to showing some different things about racing and kind of showing kind of what I did because he never got to really see, you know, really what I did when he was when he was so young.
Starting point is 00:20:20 So that got my curiosity up. But he loved watching it. Now, he liked Homestead better because there was a wreck every 10 or 15 laps as compared to what it was at 10. but he enjoyed both races. He didn't like Timmy bumping William out of the way because he knew William and Debbie were teammates. So he was pulling for William this past weekend, but he definitely watched him like it.
Starting point is 00:20:44 I keep picking William to win and he keeps screwing it up. I had a couple people text to me like, that damn Timmy Haley cost me $300. I'm like, well, me and Freddie had a hundred bucks. somebody. Well, me and Freddie had 100, and I had you, and you, that's the second week in a row. You've dominated this thing, and then we don't win the race. Appreciate it. Hey, we're working together still.
Starting point is 00:21:08 It's so funny because me and Freddie will pick a guy in the front, and I pick you, and then we have to pick a guy in the back, and we ended up, I picked Clinton. He picks Bubba, because there's nowhere to be found in these races. Bubba's machine is broke, too, isn't it? He's broke? He'll blame it on something. I'm not sure what it's going to be, but he'll blame it on something. So, William, how many hours a week are you doing this right now to get ready for these races? Like, are you practicing all week for this stuff?
Starting point is 00:21:31 So definitely the first week, I think I took it, you know, or I guess I practice a lot because I was a little nervous. I was nervous that a lot of guys were going to be a lot better than, you know, I assumed them to be. So the first week I was nervous then. I kind of got to lay the land, figured out who was good and whatnot. And then this week I really just did the two practice races on Saturday, Friday night and they had a couple of those.
Starting point is 00:21:58 They were like 120 lapers and did a couple of those, ran pretty good. And then did some like last minute testing with one of my drivers from the e-sports team. So I don't know, like I was telling a lot of guys like just making laps by yourself is not really like there's not a huge benefit to that. So I really just like to race. So if I can race three or four races a week to get ready, I feel pretty prepared. So I think Bristol is going to be wild for sure. I got a question, William. When you're behind guys, and it looks like on TV, the draft works.
Starting point is 00:22:35 Yeah. When you're behind guys, like at Texas, I saw you pulling down, trying to block, especially those last restarts. When people getting behind you, I mean, are you getting arrow tight also of your second, third, fourth, in line? And I know you can probably feel the draft from your vision. You're catching him, but is your car doing different things also when you're in line compared to clean air?
Starting point is 00:22:54 So it's slight, but they actually took the arrow effects down from, so the first week we did that replacement's race. I think Freddie was probably watching and it was like Josh Williams won and the arrow effects were really bad. So like the second place car would get a draft, but it would be like you'd lose the nose twice as bad with it. So they kind of took that, they kind of lessened that by like, I guess, half basically. basically made it like the old low-down force package where the guy behind has, you know, a chance. But the draft is twice as big. So that's why I was blocking because those guys have such an advantage.
Starting point is 00:23:32 Like it's like two-tenths faster if you're in the draft at Texas. So. That's cool if you can feel that and kind of play that as well. Yeah. That part of it. How hard is Bristol going to be? Oh, it's going to just trying to avoid the lap cards. I feel like somebody's going to wreck.
Starting point is 00:23:49 and be in the middle of the track for about a lap, and the leader is going to come by and just clover him. So hopefully that... You can say Daniel Suarez. Well, you know who it's going to be. That actually happened right in front me. I was like, it flashed before my eyes. I was like, oh, now.
Starting point is 00:24:07 Wow. That was pretty impressive. So, like, a driver like Elliot's good at Bristol. Like, can he get on there and be better at Bristol than a guy that's not like? But I guess are your favorite tracks in real life? Your same favorite tracks in this game? I would say so.
Starting point is 00:24:22 I mean, it's, it's, yeah, I would say, like, my weakest tracks on there are still my weakest tracks in real life. Like, Bristol's not one of my best tracks. So I think it shows up there, I would say. I mean, it's, you got to get loose to the loose end like you guys were just saying. And, like, that's one of the hardest things about irising. It's like going in the corner and kind of keeping your hands straight like you would in the real car, but you don't really feel that you're loose in.
Starting point is 00:24:47 So you just kind of go ahead and turn the. wheel and then all of a sudden you're sideways so that's that's tough i mean especially for bristol i feel like guys are gonna guys are gonna have to learn that have you um so have you race a lot at bristol yet or run it some this season getting ready for this race so back in the off season there was uh they had like they call them fixed races so there's like everyone has the same setup which is what sunday was um so i ran a couple of those in the in the exfinity car and uh it was fun i mean it was good. It was pretty normal Bristol things. You kind of run the top. You know, they don't have the PJ1 on the bottom. So you can run the bottom for maybe a lap or two, kind of like it was a couple
Starting point is 00:25:30 years back. But yeah, so it's a top dominant race track, I would say. That's what I was wondering, because Homestead was not. You know, you guys ran the middle to the bottom and nobody ran up, you know, likely doing the race. So I was wondering if Bristol was the same way or, you know, or the computer kind of gives you more of a better line to run. Yeah, and I think, honestly, there's going to be a lot of, you know, bumping and banging because it's not real defined. Like Homestead, the reason I think Homestead was a really good race is because, like, we didn't quite run the bottom because that wasn't the fast way. So, like, everybody's kind of fighting for that seam. And that's what created a lot of, a lot of, you know, good race.
Starting point is 00:26:08 And I think it's kind of having a not clear, defined groove, kind of having two grooves. So what's too wide going to be like at Bristol with these cars, restarts and start? stuff. I think so like you know how like you'll come off the corner of Bristol and if you get a little tight like you'll if that guy comes off the wall at all you can come together. So I think there's going to be some of that. So like guy on the tops coming with a big run and the guy in the middle is kind of trying to run his line and the closing rates really fast. So I think there's going to be a lot of that. I'm hearing heat races. So I think that'll be fun. I think I think it's shorter a race would be better, honestly.
Starting point is 00:26:49 I think Homestead was good because there was a little bit shorter. There's really no need to have a, you know, a long race on there. There's definitely a lot of cautions than the first one. And then the race yesterday, the first wreck should have been a caution. There were 20 guys wrecking and I was going nuts. And we just kept going. I was like, man, is a tower sleeping on this thing or what? But I guess that was for TV.
Starting point is 00:27:12 Yeah, Kyle Bush was rolling around there with no front bumper, no front end. I was like, this is, I don't know what just happened. And then Michael McDowell, I don't know if they ever showed that, but Michael McDowell, he missed the start of the race, but we ran an extra pace lap, so he ended up being the leader. So, like, we took the green and we're all blown by him as he's trying to let the field go. I think that's what it caused the wreck. That's funny.
Starting point is 00:27:37 We were all saying that if Dale Jr. or Danica had been a lucky dog position in that first wreck, that we would have got to call him. Oh, that's mean. conspiracy theory on ir racing William we talked to a tj about this on the show but just touch on the fact that you don't really need like the danny ham one hundred thousand dollars set up or you know you see timmy and then guys like tie racing with laptops
Starting point is 00:28:01 and just talk you know talk a little bit about that where you know you don't really need the big setup yeah you don't need to you know like you guys said i mean i started with a logitech wheel um i think was what timi uses um and some pedals i mean the pedal feel is definitely, you know, that's kind of personal preference. You can have the nicest pedals you want. You know, it's just personal preference feel-wise. But, yeah, honestly, you can get going in this thing for about, I would say, 300 bucks.
Starting point is 00:28:28 You know, 300 to 400 bucks, you could have a laptop set up and have Wi-Fi and be okay. So, you know, honestly, I definitely don't want them to, or everyone out there to think you got to have a, you know, 30, 40,000 rig like Denny or, I mean, mine's probably half of that. So I'm probably halfway in between, but you don't have to have that. That's just kind of personal preference. Elliot's on a fixed income, so we got to go easy on. I'm retired, man. I'm retired.
Starting point is 00:28:59 I'm on a fixed income. That's why I was happening. We are full-blown unemployed over here, so we feel you. Hey, the cool part about it, I don't want you all to take this the wrong way, but watching real race. the last year. I've been so busy doing baseball stuff that I hadn't really watched any races because we played travel ball tournaments every Saturday and Sunday,
Starting point is 00:29:21 you know, while you guys are racing. So I'll catch up on the news on Sunday nights or Monday morning, you know, see who did what. But with everything shut down, I'm really glad you guys have done this iraicing deal. I mean, I got people at home texting me that don't, I wouldn't think would watch an ira racing event that I absolutely love it. They just want something in their life that has something to do in racing.
Starting point is 00:29:41 and we thoroughly enjoyed watching it. That's why I've kind of got the bug man going, damn, this is something I can do and I can hit something, and it ain't going to hurt nowhere near as hard as the last time for a real long time. So I can try this out. So I'm looking forward to crossing them bridge. Yeah, I'm glad it's kind of given some,
Starting point is 00:29:59 or giving people something to watch. And I think for me, I think that for a kid out there, this is exactly what a 12-year-old to 15-year-old kid needs to inspire to. try to get on. Like that, that's where our market needs to be is, hey, you know, the kid, the race fan at home that goes to the racetrack and doesn't know how to get a go card or getting a late model, you know, get him on there and let him have some fun. That's what, that's what it was for me. So I hope it's like that for more kids out there. Yeah, we wanted to bring the old retired guy, a retired guy and the new young gun guy. Obviously, Elliot's going to get into eye racing now. So we want
Starting point is 00:30:40 to bring you guys together. Me and Freddie were sitting around yesterday. We were like, man, how cool would it be to pull these guys into the same conference call? So Jason hooked it up, man. We appreciate you guys coming on. Elliot, I know you're drawing your 401k. Williams earning his 401k, and me and Freddie are on the sidelines.
Starting point is 00:30:55 Just wondering when the mailbox is going to open back up with a paycheck in it. So y'all have been so serious today with your questions. I know William has not had a chance to see y'all's outfit during the eye races. but y'all need to start posting that crap online where those guys actually have something to laugh at but you didn't dress up for us today so I'm a little I'm a little offended I choose to be offended we get a lot nowadays I choose to be offended casual Monday casual Monday and look we're in my advice so brett and I allegedly have bet on a lot of Super Bowl games in our lifetime oh boy he usually whoever he votes on in the Super Bowl freaking gets their butts kicked and it's not even close.
Starting point is 00:31:45 So you probably want to tell him to quit betting on you. Quit going to win an irase if he keeps back on you. Just assume I'm going to run 30th this week. There you go. All right. I'll pick somebody else. I'm done with you.
Starting point is 00:31:57 Brian, before you get out of here, one two-part question here, are you going to pay Timmy Hill back? And if you do, are you going to do a better job of it than you did a Waukes-Glynn? Yeah. The damage model would kill my front end, just like it wouldn't.
Starting point is 00:32:13 So I'm going to avoid that. And I also got a little advice. Don't do it so obvious that they do it like Suarez did. Yeah, I'll do that. I'll pick you out of the race. I don't know. I got to be careful about it. But if he's hold me up, I guess we'll take care of it.
Starting point is 00:32:34 I don't know. We'll see. I don't know. He always race is good. I was pissed off after the race. I was so mad. So was that. Everyone's like,
Starting point is 00:32:43 oh, you're taking it too serious? I'm like, everybody's taking it serious. I'm in the, you're racing. Like, after about three hours just sitting on the couch, I was like,
Starting point is 00:32:51 okay, all right, I'm fine now. But, but, uh, no, it'll be, we'll see what happens. Hopefully,
Starting point is 00:32:57 hopefully we just lead the whole thing. 10 and 4. I'm looking forward to watching it. Oh, maybe being a part of it. It depends on when I can get myself here. I don't know the qualifications. I don't know who I'm supposed to call.
Starting point is 00:33:07 But I'll get all this information later during the week. I think Denny and William have a lot of influence. So I would channel everything through your Virginia buddy, Denny, and then obviously William. It's fun watching some of these guys, though. I don't want to mention any names, but some of these guys hit so much stuff every lap. It brings a lot to the program. It does. It's one kid, I don't know his first name, Ophalo or Philo or something.
Starting point is 00:33:31 He hits something almost every single lap. Tell that chicken Alfredo? I have no idea. a Frito or something, but he hits a lot to the program. You got to have that part of it. You got to have entertainment. Even the people helping me in the race get so distracted by all the people wrecking, they start laughing.
Starting point is 00:33:52 Like we're coming to do our Green flag stop and they're laughing because everybody's wrecking getting on pit road. Hey, great question. What the heck do y'all have to do, like getting on pit road? Like how much are you in control of what's going on for as your pit road speed limit and all of that. How does that work? So it's easier than real life, obviously. So you have a pit road speed at the top of your, at the top of your screen there. And it's kind of funny. So if you go above 45, it'll just, it has this little, it just says slow down, explanation point right underneath the 45.
Starting point is 00:34:28 So you just have to try to keep 45 all the way down. And it's just like our stuff. If you got a segment, so it's in segments, so it's the average of that segment. Okay, it is. Okay, exactly. So, but getting on pit road with your break biases, because you run a lot of rear brake to get the car to turn, and then you have to get on pit road with... See, Elliot's already having a panic attack.
Starting point is 00:34:56 All right. He's sweating. Real break, that's not good. I'm writing all this down. Speaking of Super Bowls, Elliot, William and I were in Cosmo last year at Vegas. Freddie was with us. And William sits down wanting to play blackjack. Typical story of us teaching somebody how to play blackjack.
Starting point is 00:35:13 They went all the money and I lose all my teaching them. Same thing happened with Clint William about 10 years ago. Clint sat down. He borrowed $2,000 from Elliott. This is a true story. He started off playing $50 a hand. By the end of the night, he had $20,000 in front of. Oh, my gosh.
Starting point is 00:35:29 And he still made me pay a barbeda. That's the crazy part is I, so Brett taught me how to play blackjack. And so Vegas made me, so I won all this money with Brett. I think it was like two nights before the race. And so I went back to Vegas for this appearance in January. And I'm like, man, I'm going to go to the exact same table, do exactly what Brett taught me to do. And I lost like 300 bucks right away. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:35:55 I'm sorry. It doesn't work all the time. Philis, we appreciate y'all jumping on. I know Elliot's not busy, William. I know you are. Me and Freddie don't have nothing to do. So if y'all to do this again, man, just hit us. We're bored of death.
Starting point is 00:36:08 I'm good. Hey, Willie, keep your phone on, man. Keep your phone on. Absolutely. I love. I'll be a good thing, man. Oh, safe, fellas. Appreciate it.

Starting point is 00:37:24 Spot on. Spot on, spot off. He's spot off. Spot on, you like it. Spot off you don't like it, and you say one either way. First topic, we have a list of coronavirus updates. The first one, a NASCAR employee tested positive after being in Atlanta. Second, NASCAR cutting employee salaries by 20%.
Starting point is 00:37:46 North Carolina starts a stay-at-home order for one month, and the N-500 postponed until August 23rd. How about TJ? Oh, man. You know, it's always spot off on, you never want to hear that. type of stuff. But these are new times for everybody. I don't think anybody's ever been through anything like this. You know, spot off because it's affecting a lot of people's lives. I just wish we could, you know, look forward to getting through this and everything getting back to normal
Starting point is 00:38:21 so people can, you know, start getting normal routine of life back. Freddie. Yeah, I mean, spot off, obviously, across the board. I think that's kind of why we saw Atlanta become the mess that it was. Maybe if they had found out somebody had coronavirus, before we got down there, there was a reason why we were on, you know, like, just kind of pulled a plug in the middle of the weekend. Getting paid is kind of the way of the world. Probably should be happy that they're getting paid still at all. I mean, obviously sucks.
Starting point is 00:38:49 I have to take a pay cut, but at least you're still getting something. A lot of people aren't in that boat. Spot off on the quarantine. I mean, it's spot on because obviously it'll get us down quicker. You know, it'll hopefully get this thing cleared up until we get back to work. But sucks because now, I mean, I've been locked to my house for a lot. week. The only time, the only two times I left my house the last two weeks is to go to Brits for that broadcast. So I've kind of been doing this anyway, but I guess we're going to be doing that either.
Starting point is 00:39:14 But at 8500 just kind of sucks that it's not on that Memorial Day weekend, kind of, you know, losing the tradition of the race. But just spot off across the board. But hopefully everybody does their part. We'll get this stuff over with and back to normal soon. I think what sucks around all this is just the uncertainty, man, is when will we actually be able to turn the lights on? We know for, originally it was for two weeks. We were turned the lights off. And then it was a hell of a lot longer than two weeks, right? It was seven weeks, eight weeks, whatever it was. And now for 30 days, all of us here in North Carolina have been told to literally shelter in place. So outside of going to the grocery store, they really don't want you
Starting point is 00:39:50 doing anything as far as being around people. So it's like we're on vacation, but we're not, A, we're not getting paid and B, we can't go do anything. So it's a really weird feeling. Obviously, we're all experiencing this together. And, and, I mean, to T.J. and Freddie's point, spot off this sucks. So with the stay-at-home order for a month, I mean, that obviously means teams can't work. Do we think that that's a sign maybe it'll be extended even further as far as not making Martinsville or what are your thoughts there? Here's the thing, Casey. Like, we can turn these cars around and have them ready to go in no time.
Starting point is 00:40:27 A lot of these cars are already sitting there ready to go anyway. The shops have to close today at 5 o'clock, but a lot of shops have already been. and closed for the last three weeks. You know, I know guys that have been working, and I also know a lot of guys that haven't been working. So I think the bigger question now becomes with this particular stay-at-home order is, what does this do to the Gen 7 car? Because it can't be developed if you can't work in a facility, right?
Starting point is 00:40:50 So I don't know how far this puts them, those guys behind on that piece of it. A lot of moving parts and pieces, obviously, for it to come together anyway and to completely suspend everything in our state, you know, holy cow. And look, that's the least important thing that people are dealing with. right now. We've got a lot of people that aren't getting paid. We've got a lot of people wondering how they're going to pay their bills and feed their families. But at the end of the day, as a sport, we can turn the lights back on really quickly and get back on to the racetrack. Man, I just, well, it's just popped up on Twitter. The next gen car is getting delayed until
Starting point is 00:41:21 later into 2021 season. So we'll not be using it in Daytona. They did not give a date. It doesn't appear as of this moment. But yeah, so now it's going to be pushed back in the year, 2021. Well, my first thing about that is, can we go back and fix the Bush class then to where we actually run it on the Oval versus running a road course? Yeah, that'd be nice. I hope they do that. I hope they do a short race. That'd be fun. I mean, I was talking to Travis Stock yesterday, and J.D., who's on my team, we ran at each other via virtual FaceTiming, I guess, to be safe about it.
Starting point is 00:41:54 And literally they were telling me that this Gen 7 thing is going to have a hard time getting done when the businesses that are supporting it and are developing it and are ultimately going to be building it are going to be closed for 30 to 45 days right here. So I don't think it's a big surprise. I think, you know, when we first talked about a two-week deal, it was one thing now when you're talking about eight weeks, nine weeks, they just couldn't keep up with it, man. They couldn't catch up to it. So at least we aren't, it's a double-edged sword here. At least we aren't trying to push something out that's not ready. but I don't want to run half the season in one car and half in the other either. That's kind of weird.
Starting point is 00:42:27 Yeah, I mean, how do you just go from, you know, one complete, like it's nowhere near the same thing. You know what I mean? Like we run, say to the La Dam whenever, you know, Fourth of July weekend, and then all of a sudden we just swap and run a completely different car starting over. Like, I feel like this is probably better suited to just push it back a full season. I've seen where I think Formula One did that, you know, they're obviously in the middle, you know, being across the whole globe, they've encountered. bigger problems that we have with this and they've pushed their they had a new package coming i think
Starting point is 00:42:56 they've pushed it to even 2023 maybe so you know like i feel like that that might have been the better route to take but you know it is what is it like you said you don't want to roll it out there if it's not 100% ready to go well i think we always pretend that we know everything but the reality is we don't there are probably some things that we don't know i just know from a fan perspective from an industry perspective like what a challenge it'll be to run half the races with one model of a car and then we're going to come back out for the second half of the year or whenever that is and run a different model car and it bleed into the championship. Like that's a pretty big curveball for the players. You know what I mean? It's like you take a pitcher and instead of him pitching for 90 feet, he's going to come
Starting point is 00:43:37 in the last two ends of the game and he's going to throw from 70 feet, right? It's a pretty big curveball to the players. Spot on, spot off. Timmy Hill bumps William Byron out of the way and wins the eye racing race. How about you, Brett? Timmy Hill. Hey, T.J. said last week he would have fenced Danny Hamlin if he were Dale Jr. And Dale Jr. didn't do that. Del Jr. was Mr. Nice guy. I think Timmy's got one coming.
Starting point is 00:44:02 But at the end of the day, man, what a great thing for him, his brand, his sponsors to go out there and win the race. Fox obviously had a presence there. The coolest thing about it for me is we're getting a chance to see the personalities of some guys we don't typically see. The Garrett Smith Lees of Timmy Hills. And I gave Timmy a shout out. He looked amazing yesterday on a broadcast. I called him a modern-day John Travolta. So get it, Timmy.
Starting point is 00:44:24 Yeah, obviously, big for a guy like Timmy Hill, just like Brett said. These guys getting TV time. Obviously, they're consistent. We talked a little bit of the beginning of the race about, you know, we had seen some different faces up there, you know, towards the front. John Hunter comes to mind. There was a couple different guys. But, you know, by the time the race was over, it was kind of similar guys that had gotten
Starting point is 00:44:45 back up there. Ryan Priest was actually really quick yesterday also. So it's cool to see stuff like that. Guys, you know, these guys put the time in. They, you know, you can go find Garrett pretty much every day of the week and find him streaming at some point or practice racing. So, you know, these guys put the time in and it's reaping the benefits of it right now. Yeah, spot on for Timmy. It was a good race again.
Starting point is 00:45:08 Those are the guys we thought would be up there. And, I mean, we saw some personalities come out in the midpack, too, you know, some things that there's a lot of tendencies in that race that happen in real life as well. with them drivers, but exciting race. I didn't watch the whole broadcast because I spotting there for part of it, so for the beginning. But, you know, spot off for Timmy. Good for him, like Brett said, good for him. And anybody he wants to promote.
Starting point is 00:45:38 And, you know, he literally still looks like he could sit there and sell car insurance or something still when he's done racing. So he could turn the computer off or turn off ir racing and sell some insurance. So, you know, I'm not going to give him. John Travolta because, you know, I think Timmy could make Brett a big fan if he wins again and gets up and does like one of them old John Travolta moves. Yeah, those disco moves. That would probably get Timmy a lot of followers and would probably become, there might
Starting point is 00:46:12 even be a T-shirt made of that with Timmy's head on it doing some sort of disco move or something. Disco Timmy. Maybe we can. T.J, I got to ask you, why did we see a few guys? this week run up front of Texas that we didn't see run up front at Homestead. And why do we see some of the guys that ran up front last week like Denny? Like he just completely disappeared and fell off the earth. Well, what's the difference from one track to the next?
Starting point is 00:46:33 Because you would think they drive similarly, being that it is obviously a video game. I mean, just different track characteristics as well. Of course, the guys would race a lot on there, going to know the ends and outs of it. But there's also there was a lot of a lot of trick stuff at Homestead. as well to do in qualifying. There wasn't as much at Texas to do. It was just to go out there and it was just like mile and a half qualifying. You needed to get off pit road fast and get out there and run two good laps as fast as you can. But unlike real real life, they can't trim their car out in eye racing. You can't trim your car out when it's a fixed setup. You know, if we were to get
Starting point is 00:47:12 on there now, we would all be racing the same setup. So you can't do that stuff. But just different, you know, some guys just a little bit better at that track, you know. I think, um, I think, um, You could tell the guys that put some practice in there. I know I know priests has practiced a lot, and honestly, a lot of them guys practice a lot. I saw, you know, Kyle and him, Kyle was putting in a lot of time this last week to run Texas, and he's even more, he's even focusing more on running Bristol next too.
Starting point is 00:47:42 So I think Bristol will be a lot of fun to watch. How much harder is Bristol going to be to drive for them, guys? They haven't run this game a lot. Bristol's going to be a hand. I mean, it's just, it's hard to pass, man. It's going to be hard to pass. You're going to see guys miss the corners a little bit. You'll, you'll, I think eye racing is harder than the real racing part of it because there's, there's no, it is harder, but there's no seat of the pants feel.
Starting point is 00:48:08 So everything's hand-eye coordination. And some guys, like, I can see a guy like when he sits down to my computer and, like, if you were on there, I see the car get loose standing behind you before you do it. You're not, you're not turning the wheel to catch you yet. And I see it getting loose. Um, it's just stuff you have to learn. Like you have to, you have to learn it. And Bristol's going to be, um, I hope they practice a lot, a lot, because it's going to be a handful. How many recesses are they going to need this week?
Starting point is 00:48:35 Ah, man, they're going to need a lot of recess. I think they get one, but there's, um, it can be a good race, but you have to know your limits like anything else. And the reason, you know, the reason we don't see a lot of wrecks is because these guys are really good in real life, man. The cars are stuck to the ground. And when you give 40, you know, 38, 40 drivers, cars that are already really good, cars that are stuck to the ground, you're not going to see many wrecks.
Starting point is 00:49:00 So that's probably like tires that slide around, hot slick racetracks and stuff. But this week could be exciting. Next one, Freddie, I'm going to let you take this because I have no clue what he said. I've got to pull up my show sheet because Schultz apparently thinks I went to more Spanish glasses than I did, you know. All right, Daniel Suarez, say Estrella, Trotando de Saccard Thai Dylan. What the f*** did you say? Jason, what did I just say?
Starting point is 00:49:33 That was a very good attempt there, Freddie. That was great. That was great. Daniel Sores wrecks himself attempting to crash Ty Dylan. Oh. One idiot. Brett, can I get a one idiot on this one? I mean, my idiot.
Starting point is 00:49:49 I don't even know. what just happened. God. Did you see it? Did you see the wrecked Brett? Like when he just, I don't remember if he showed it on TV or if I saw it on Twitter last night. The end of the race is a little foggy for us. When he missed him. Yeah, he was trying to wreck Ty Dillon, completely missed him. Like, 100% swinging amiss, destroyed his car, ruined the race for people on top of that. Like, guys had tired strategies, guys had a pitch strategy planned out and this guy just goes and tries to wreck somebody I don't know. Did you look back and see why he was trying to wreck him, T.J.
Starting point is 00:50:20 I don't know. My wife's eating a cupcake. Tell her the share. Was there a reason for this? I didn't see what happened in the beginning to make it, but I did see the swing and a miss. I saw that for sure. He evidently, there's some replays of some races that that's happened in real life. Maybe he could have studied up on that.
Starting point is 00:50:47 But yeah, that was definitely a swing and a miss. Spot off, if you're going to do it, get him. You know what I mean? Yeah, I mean, you got to get him if you're going to do it. That was, so he got parked basically. If you're going to basically got parked for swinging and missing. I mean, that's the ultimate strikeout. How do you do it?
Starting point is 00:51:05 You know, the other guy's still racing. Yeah, you're in trouble and you didn't get any retribution for it. Yeah, I mean, the middle of the corner when he's on the outside, he's way more doable than down the straightaway trying to match the speed and, you know, the right timing and everything. I mean, that Jimmy Spencer wouldn't have missed. No. Nobody else would have missed.
Starting point is 00:51:23 I don't know how you do it. I mean, I can show you. I saw it yesterday. Freddie, can you say it again one more time? Because that was great. No, no chance I'm saying it again. Say Estrella Trotando de Saccard Tidillon? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:39 Good job. You know, they say it like. Way fast. Yeah. I like to hear Brett say it. Go ahead, Brett. Where is this at? In the green.
Starting point is 00:51:49 It's in the green. It's in the green. The sea. That is not NASCAR. Tell your story is Estrella to Tzato de Skaar. Tadilla. Good word.
Starting point is 00:52:05 Toma Sadi Se, what an idiot. Did you go a red spot off? In Spanish one time. Oh, that was great. The three-hour show. Oh, all right. Spot on, spot off. The first NASCAR.
Starting point is 00:52:22 our IndyCar double header to take place during Breakyard 400 weekend at Indy, and Tony Stewart is interested in running all three races. How about you, Brett? Oh, man, you know, if there's any positives that is coming out of this crap we're dealing with, it's things like this, man. I've always wanted to see us and IndyCar work together. Obviously, that's in a very special market for Indy. And I always look at a selfish, as, you know, if we do something, it'll help IndyCar. And in this situation, I think IndyCar will do a lot to help us. So what a complete win-win for both series.
Starting point is 00:53:03 Obviously, Roger Penske owning IndyCar now may be a big advantage and a big reason why we're able to pull this off. Roger, obviously, is deeply entrenched into the NASCAR ownership side, being a former track owner. You know, people forget that he built places like Fontana. He built places like Michigan International Speedway. So brilliant, brilliant. yet move. I hope this is a sign of things to come in the future when we both can win, right?
Starting point is 00:53:27 When we both are in a position to help each other. And when I look at Indianapolis, I think that's absolutely what's going to happen. Yeah, I mean, obviously any chance we get to cross-promote with another series and then maybe draw some of their fans of ours or vice versa. There's no secret that we needed some attendance boosted at Indianapolis. Obviously, you watch the races there. And obviously, it doesn't look as good because the place holds so many people. So you scatter 50,000 people around a place that holds 300,000, it looks terrible. But, you know, hopefully this will draw a little bit more for us and them. And as far as Tony goes, man, wave the rules.
Starting point is 00:54:03 Let this guy raise whatever he wants to race that week. Yeah, I think somebody like Tony announcing that or, you know, with interest, that does nothing but build up for that weekend. All this time leading up to that, people are going to get more interested in it. And the early breakyards were super packed with people. But that was because we, you know, the first time as you go back to places like that, it's going to lose, it's, you know, it's not just original anymore. So that place eats so many compared to the Indy 500. That's like comparing our Daytona 500 to that, you know.
Starting point is 00:54:35 So, and that place is built for the Indy 500, you know, so I wouldn't expect us to go there and max it out. But events like this, I think it's a home run, man, for everybody, especially if you got a guy like Tony that's going to get in any race that he can get in there and go and run. That's, man, that's awesome, man. I suspect there'll be others that do it as well. If he's interested in doing it, why wouldn't you? And that does nothing but draw, that's interest.
Starting point is 00:55:02 That draws interest from the fans. I mean, I'm interested in it. Maybe I can pick up an IndyCar that weekend and spot the road course, you know, which I think it'd be pretty cool to do. So, I don't know, I think it's great. Yeah. I want to see Tony Stewart be. able to run all three, like Freddie said, make up a waiver. If this guy wants to run him,
Starting point is 00:55:22 let him run them. I also want to see some of their IndyCar guys come maybe drive our stuff, right? I mean, we've had our guys like Jimmy Johnson talk about running an indycar race. I mean, get Marco and Dreddy an opportunity to come race. So obviously, Pitsky and Gannasi have ties to both series. So a guy like Larson, if he wants to go run that road course race, man, let him. I think it's a great opportunity for us to truly cross-promote our products, put their drivers in our cars, put our drivers in their cars. What a great story. line this could be. Not to mention the fans, too. Interfine the fans, you know, get both of them there. I mean, we're going to, if the Indycars are there, we're going to watch them. We're
Starting point is 00:55:57 going to want to see it. 100%. And it's probably the same way for the IndyCar fans. They're going to want to check our stuff out when we're there, you know? So I think it's great. Yeah. What is, so the rule, I try to read up on Pockers a little bit here, because we've seen this before with a team kind of adding a fifth car with the guy like Cole Custer last year driving the 51 car. I assume the rule is because Tony owns those cars. He can't be in the race. Is that what the wording is? Correct. For basically
Starting point is 00:56:23 for it to happen, Freddie, Tony would have to drive like the 10 or the 14 or the 41 and we would have to farm out one of our other guys. And I'm sure NASCAR would figure out what we're trying to do and still have to approve it. But here's the thing. This is special circumstances. Tony's a special guy. You know, two-time
Starting point is 00:56:39 Cup champion, an indie champion, an Indy 500 winner. This guy's done it all across all forms of motorsports. If he wants to run all three races, you let him run all three races. Casey, are they running the midget race that week, too? I was just about to say that. He could technically run four because the midget race, as
Starting point is 00:56:55 scheduled, it's supposed to be two days leading up to it. So he could run the USAC race. He could then run the Expinity. He could run the Indy car. I mean, there's tons of opportunities here. I don't know if Smoke's getting in a midget any time soon. Oh, come on. He tested, he was one of the first
Starting point is 00:57:11 cars on this track when they built it. I don't think you've got the joke there, but okay. I know what you got. I got it. What are you trying to say? I think it could be really cool either way. So it should be, I mean, it's July 4th weekend, too. I mean, July 4th in India is miserable, but I think that.
Starting point is 00:57:28 Casey, when are those races? Is that Thursday? Usually it's Wednesday Thursday. So. That's a long week of racing right there. Yeah, I think it's Wednesday Thursday still. India is one of the best markets we go to. That downtown area is great.
Starting point is 00:57:42 A lot of fun restaurants and things to do. I could tell you right now. If we don't have to work after the IndyCar race, meaning there's no cup happy hour or anything on the track, I can promise you I will grab a beer and go sit in the stands and watch that road race, man. How awesome is that. I've seen an IndyCar race in person at Charlotte's the only time I've ever had the opportunity to see them live. I would love to go see this thing.
Starting point is 00:58:02 How awesome. Very cool. Yeah, I'd like to spot it. Spot on, spot off. Denny Hamlin challenges Corey LaJoy on iRacing, tweeting him. For years, we've been hearing how bad your cars are. Now's your chance. Log on to eye racing to learn more.
Starting point is 00:58:18 TJ. Spot on. I mean, it's just a, I don't think, I don't know if there's any hostility between them or whatever, but Denny's plugging eye racing pretty good here lately. But I've seen Corey race a lot of different cars, you know, coming up through the ranks. I saw Corey run a modified run. I've seen Corey run a lot of different stuff there when he was coming up through the ranks. And I did fairly.
Starting point is 00:58:44 well, I thought. But, you know, I was racing with Corey last night, and I actually wrecked him once. But he needs a better internet connection. So, Corey, before you get on eye racing anymore, please get a faster internet connection. If only he could get Exfinity. Corey needs to pull a couple pennies off the stack and get some Xfinity internet over there to help him out. But like TJ said that, you know, Corey is super talented. kind of him and Bubba came up through the ranks together,
Starting point is 00:59:15 so I got to see Corey race a lot. I've spotted for Corey a couple times. He's won in a modified, one in a K&M car, one in an Arka car, one in late models. He's won just about everything he's got into that was competitive equipment. So, you know, but this is like you said, this is all for fun.
Starting point is 00:59:32 These guys are kind of going back and forth with each other. Denny's doing a lot of this these days. I saw him calling for people to lose their resets last night on Twitter next week if they cause accidents. So Danny's doing a hell of a lot of. job promote everything and this is just another case of that. Well, Lambert wasn't there, so maybe he can just blame the spotter. Because you can see, I can tell you this, Brad, I don't know if you know this or not.
Starting point is 00:59:53 You can, when you're inside there, you can click on the entry list who's in there, and it has a little plus next to their name, and you can click on that plus, and you can see who the spotter is. And I know a handful of these guys had the real spotters. I can tell you this. Derek was in there. Joel Edmonds was spotting for Biffel. Joel was in there. Joel was in there.
Starting point is 01:00:12 there was a handful of these guys that had their Hursman was in there with Kyle Was he really? Yeah so there's a lot of guys that are starting to get on there I had three or four calls this week so like hey driver called me wanted me to get on there a spot for him How do I go about doing it? And I got a couple of them hooked up on there to
Starting point is 01:00:29 To go on there and spot so that tells you how far How much is evolving so I think I think one of these races we should all like the 40 of us or 35 whatever there is of us get together And just randomly draw numbers and spot for whoever we get. Like, just whoever it is. So you have to password your spotter. Like, you set your password, and a couple of guys didn't have it set for the first week.
Starting point is 01:00:52 Like, Allgaier didn't have his set. So he had a bunch of random guys joining in there trying to tell him what it was pretty awesome. That's what it looked like. What you had done yesterday for your live stream is get really drunk and try and spot somebody, Brett. I don't know if you're watching. That's what we did. Well, we did the really drunk part anyway.
Starting point is 01:01:12 Yeah, I was going to say, I don't think the spotting part, I didn't see that part. You know, the Corey the Joy thing, I think Corey is probably more of a realist in the way he views the eye racing community. And he's not saying that it translates into you being able to be a real race car driver. And I think some of the people that are suggesting that, I think Corey probably has a different viewpoint. And I think Denny obviously is, like TJ said, doing a great job or promoting it, promoting the platform. And I mean, Danny's not wrong. on there, everybody's car's the same, right? But at the end of the day, the guy that has spent the most hours practicing that game
Starting point is 01:01:49 is going to be the guy that does the best, most of the time. Probably going to be hard for Corey considering he just had a baby two weeks ago. Most of that is true. The more time you put in, the fast you are. But that goes to real life, too, though. I mean, you put a lot of time in your craft, you get better at it as you go along. But I don't think, like I said before, I don't, you know, eye racing, it's incredibly hard to do.
Starting point is 01:02:10 you know there's there's you just got to you got to drive it real but you're not going to like you don't think you can take like you can get maybe one or two of them guys it could maybe get in a real car and be competitive right off the get go you know just have that have that um natural yeah just have the natural ability to do it but um you know i don't know there's definitely people that i think have the talent to do it but you know you can't it's hard to say that you You know, you take a seven-time champion like Jimmy and put him on the computer that he's never really driven. And it's going to take him a while to get good. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:02:44 Let me ask you this, TJ. So, like, Denny has publicly said his rig is $100,000 sim. Like, when you watch what Majesky is racing on, what Timmy Hill is racing on, like, they probably got a couple thousand dollars in those rigs, right? So, so, so there really is no advantage to having nicer stuff, so to speak. Obviously, you need the graphics and you need the internet speed. But outside of that, there's really no advantage. It's because you're just looking at a monitor. No, and even honestly, the internet speed,
Starting point is 01:03:11 all your needs is an average internet connection. You don't have to have some super fast connection. Computer doesn't, you can run around laptops. It doesn't have to be the greatest. Obviously, they do a lot of work in these things to make it look real. So the better computer you have, the better it looks, the more realistic it looks. And that's when I racing becomes phenomenal.
Starting point is 01:03:31 When you have a really good computer and you can turn the graphics up, these tracks look, they look exactly like real, man. They look, and the cars are phenomenal looking, you know, the guys, there's a lot of talented guys that paint the cars for the game. And, but, you know, it's, it's, I don't know, man, it's, it's just, you just got to be able to separate the difference in it. You know what I mean? Like, you don't, you don't have to have, like, you don't have to have a $100,000 computer, though, or a setup. You don't have to do that. Like, I don't, I don't get a rig.
Starting point is 01:04:02 I have a flat desk and a monitor and a computer and a steering wheel. So it's just whatever you get used to and use, but you don't have to have a lot of money. Anybody, you know, that wants to get started on Air Racing, you don't have to have all this stuff. Just get on Amazon, buy your computer steering wheels, whatever you get used to. Like, look at Majeski's deal. He's got it propped up on a book with a fan blowing out to keep it cool. What's the deal with Majeski? I think going into this, people that were somewhat familiar with Eye Racing knew that Thai was probably one of that.
Starting point is 01:04:29 And then people posting stats about how many races Ty won. You think that's just a product of the fixed setups kind of even in the playing field? No, Ty runs a lot of, if you were to get into a super late model race with Ty, you're probably going to lose. He gets, he's really, really, really good on eye racing, but he's really like, his bread and butter is the super late model stuff. You know, the short track stuff, super late model things like that, when you start getting to the bigger tracks, he's fast, but just not, that's not really is. Not the same level. Yeah, he's not on the same level there, but he has a ton of. of i races i forget how many it was but he's got a ton he's got thousands of i races and he's got two
Starting point is 01:05:10 counts ranked in the top five i think so you got to race a lot to do that yeah welcome to expinity fast lane we're so excited to have exfinity sponsoring this segment now and if you don't already know it's a great time we get it's spinning the internet that's as fast as this segment i hate you brett she started she started noticing us she's like Welcome. I was trying to be excited. So here we go. I'll ask six questions.
Starting point is 01:05:43 These guys will have 10 seconds to respond. If they go over 10, Jason will mute them. First question. When NASCAR resumes racing, what tracks will be best to host a Wednesday night race? Atlanta, Miami, Texas, Bristol, Richmond, Dega, and Dover are our options. Brett, how about you? We can never run Talladega on a Wednesday. That is a full weekend.
Starting point is 01:06:06 experience. We've got to go to Talladega on a Saturday. The other ones we can drive to, like the Martinsville's, the Bristol's are not destination markets. A hundred percent we can do those on Wednesday nights. DJ. We can't run Dover at night because it has no lights. Teledega needs to be a good weekend like Brett said, but Atlanta, Richmond, Bristol, any of them. Let's do it. Ready? Yeah, Bristol, for sure. Bristle's already had Wednesday night races with the trucks and the modifides. So we already know that works. I'd like to see Martinsville and nothing have lights. Anywhere that lights, we can run Wednesday night.
Starting point is 01:06:41 Question number two. Among Texas, Bristol, Richmond, Daga, and Dover, what track do you think would be best to host a double-header weekend during its second race this season? Freddie. I think it's got to be Dover. I think NASCAR's kind of made a point of saying that they're not going to have double-headers in the playoffs,
Starting point is 01:06:58 and Dover is the only race that's not in the playoffs out of these race. Options. I wasn't listening. Of course you weren't. No kidding. What track was? Let T.J go, I'm reading it. It's got to be Dover as well.
Starting point is 01:07:16 It's just suited for it. You might maybe knock a 100 miles out of the Saturday race or both of them or something like that. But I think Dover is probably the best fit as well. Yeah, this was a great question with only one answer the way all three could do. So Dover, Dover, and Jason, it's still Dover. Good job. I'm just going to mute Brett for the rest of the episode. I have the power to do that.
Starting point is 01:07:39 Thank you. Can I do it? I can give permission next week. Yeah, thank you. Question number three, with Timmy Hill winning Sunday's eye racing race, which underfunded driver do you think would perform best to give in top tier equipment? T.J.
Starting point is 01:07:58 I'd like to see Cory Lejoy move up and getting something really good. I'd like to see him in some equipment that's a little bit better, strictly for Twitter Wars. And then, I don't know, I think it'd be interesting to see. see what Timmy could do. Is this the point in the show where you have to pick my guy, Bubba? I'd like to see Bubba and better stuff now. A guy like Brett Moffitt probably would come to my mind as a guy that could probably do a lot
Starting point is 01:08:23 with more better equipment. Man, I want to pick Landon Castle, but he got JRM stuff and didn't do as well as I thought he'd do. So honestly, I'm going to say Bubba Wallace for a lot of reasons. He's a friend of mine, a guy really will respect, and I want to see him get a chance. He hadn't had a shot yet. After some questionable non-caution calls in Sunday's eye racing race, what is the most... What?
Starting point is 01:08:46 Aggregious. I can speak Spanish. You can't speak English. I think I skipped over this when I read this over. Agrigis. Is that what it is? Aggregious. Wow. Make sure this is being recorded. I need to get out of the house.
Starting point is 01:09:06 after some questionable non-caution calls on Sunday's I Racing Race, what is the most egregious officiating call you have ever seen NASCAR make? Brett. When Elliot Sadler took the lead at Indianapolis in the inaugural Xfinity Series race because Sam Hornish spun his tires on a restart. Call.
Starting point is 01:09:31 Okay. TJ. Man, there's a lot to pick from I don't really know if I can narrow it down to one. I guess we all feel like at certain times we get the short end of the stick, but I don't have any rate away. I had a week. There was a race where there was a wreck.
Starting point is 01:09:52 We were in a truck race. Probably Bubba's going to be Bo's first win and we got there was a wreck in front of us and we got through it came out with the lead and they put like four trucks back in front of us. Yeah. No good. If you were to go back and rewatch a replay of any race you spotted in your career, named the first one you would watch. and the one that you refuse to watch again.
Starting point is 01:10:11 Freddie? Huh, I don't know. Probably the Martinsville win with the Wendell Scott truck. That was a good day. We had some four white stuff there at the end. It was exciting. I'd probably go back and watch that. Not watch again.
Starting point is 01:10:22 Probably that Pocono Rick. I don't need to see that anymore. Brett? For sure. One of two, man. The one win that I just had with Ross last year at Talladega, or Daytona, that was super fun. And Elliot's first win at Bristol in 2001.
Starting point is 01:10:38 both really, really fun races to watch. T.J. I'd say 2014 Daytona 500, and the one I would not want to watch the game would probably be the 2019 Daytona 500. I feel like if we slid up in front of Kyle with Ryan Priest behind us, Danny Hamlins a sit and duck, and we win another Daytona 500. Off the wall question. After hearing of Joe Diffie's passing over the weekend, what's your favorite Joe Diffie song? T.J. I'd say
Starting point is 01:11:10 John Deere Green That's a good one Ready Prop me up beside the jukebox When I die You just said mine My favorite Joe Diffy song Joe Diffy didn't even sing
Starting point is 01:11:30 The guy wrote a song about Joe Diffy Joe Diffy Remember that song? That's how famous Joe Diffy is somebody wrote a song about him. 1984. Jocci Jason's head creep onto the camera. That's because Brett's,
Starting point is 01:11:45 that's his Brett cursed again. Every time Brett curses. Stop letting Freddy go before me. This is pissing me off. Hey, Brett, say the F word about three times, right in a row. Guys. Watch his hand. Here comes her hand.
Starting point is 01:12:02 Now put your pants on. There it is. Oh, boy. me and Brett are still in unfiltered mode. Man, that Segment was as fast as Xfinity's Internet. Big thanks to Xfinity for coming on board with Door Bumper Clear this year. NASCAR fans are the best at supporting brands that support racing and Xfinity is a huge supporter of NASCAR.

Starting point is 01:13:11 posse, there's all this DMPs like, did you get the tattoo? I did not. I watched it. I could smell the skin burning, and I'm not doing it. How many guys you think got that brand? Four or five? Yeah. Josh.
Starting point is 01:13:23 Did Josh Snyder get it? Yeah, the Josh is the worst one. Mitch Lash. Josh is the worst one because they did it once, and they thought they didn't do it. So they heated it back up and they didn't. Oh, they branded him twice. Right over the old one. And you could smell it, and it was the worst thing ever, so I didn't do it.
Starting point is 01:13:36 Oh, I don't blame me. Not doing it. Ask DBC. Send in your questions 24-7 on Twitter using the hashtag AskDee. B-B-C. Asked-T-V-C first question is from E-U-N-G-E-R-V-T. With eye-racing races running shorter distances, does this help push the argument to shorten Real Cup races?
Starting point is 01:14:02 How about you, Brett? I'd say no. I think there's a lot of us that want to run shorter races at a lot of tracks, but I think ultimately, man, it's a TV decision. If TV wants to sell four hours worth of ads, guess what they're going to do, sell four hours worth of ads. I think it would help a lot of our races like a Dover-a-Pocono to even run shorter than what we're. And listen, I remember when those were 500-mile races, now they're 400.
Starting point is 01:14:24 I'm all about taking at least one of those for each track and doing it 300 just to see how it goes and to give them some identity. Yeah, I think it would be a popular decision if you shorten some of them. But like he said, TV needs the time to sell ads. They're going to maximize their content as much as they can. Live content always kicks, you know, they always kill it with live content. So that's going to take precedence over a recorded show or something. I'm in a wind tunnel all of a sudden. I don't know what happened.
Starting point is 01:14:51 But, yeah, I mean, I don't think this helps any because these races have turned into a bit of a mess. Yesterday was better than the week before. So hopefully they keep getting better. But I wouldn't mind seeing a couple shorter races here and there. I think there's definitely a couple that could be short. Shorten up a little bit. But, man, I think we're used to what we're running at now. I think, I think, you know, majority of the races are,
Starting point is 01:15:15 good length. There might be one or two. You know, a couple that maybe could take a little bit off of. But, I mean, these races go by pretty quick now, I think. There's a, I mean, the longest one, in my opinion, is obviously a traditional race in Darlington, which I think is perfect that it's that long. It takes forever. But, man, it's just, it's an attrition race, too. You got to survive, you know, and that's just part of it.
Starting point is 01:15:37 That makes you want to go there and win that race a little bit more because it's a little bit longer and just tough. So I think, I like how our races are. TJ, do you think for at least not obviously our normal racing, but for eye racing, they'd consider doing like heat races, qualifiers, things like that just to make it a little bit different? You know, I think heat races might be pretty fun depending on the track. I think they're going to be messy because if you put them guys out there and given the right track, I think heat races could be fun. We tried some heat race stuff in the Xfinity series before, but I'm not 100% sure they were at the right tracks. think if you're going to do heat races, they need to be at short tracks.
Starting point is 01:16:18 I don't think mile and a half heat races are doing much good. But I don't know. I think heat races on eye racing would get pretty messy because guys are going to be more aggressive and they know if you tear your car up, you get a brand new one in a little bit. So I don't think so. I think just practice qualifying and get good at it. Yeah, I mean, these races were the lengths they were because, you know, back in the 70s, this was a test-to-your machinery.
Starting point is 01:16:46 You know, could you go 500 miles? You know, could you go 600 miles? You know, could you go 600 miles? It's cook 600. Nowadays, we can run forever and ever and ever. So it's no longer that aspect of it. It's just, you know, like we talked about TV time and just, you know, letting the strategies play out. This next question is from Shell underscore Rainer.
Starting point is 01:17:05 Have you ever had to tell your driver during a race to just shut up, listen to me, and drive? Freddie. Right. We know he has. I actually use this exact quote. Not so much with Bubba. I have told Bubba like that's enough when he'll go on a tangent and start ripping. He has that ability, believe it or not.
Starting point is 01:17:24 But there was a time with Leilani Munter in an Arker race where she was complaining about her steering. Something that we could, like the steering box was too slow in the race. Like there was just nothing that we could do about it. She kept going and going and going and get your dinger ready, Jason. I told her you have two options. Shut the fuck up and drive the race car or pull it in the garage. And she said, okay, I'll shut the fuck up. And that was the end of it.
Starting point is 01:17:51 She thanked me afterwards. I'm way too polite to tell anybody to shut up. Yeah. We know. I don't think I've ever told anybody to shut up and drive the race car. Oh, I have, I just didn't key the button. You know, I think we all have. I'm sure Brett and Freddie have both said, you know, said certain things, just not keyed up.
Starting point is 01:18:15 Not key up. I don't care. There's certain times, you know. I mean, look, the reality is there's very few drivers out there that can talk and drive faster at the same time. The majority of them, when they press that button, they slow down. And I've seen guys slow down as much as three or four tenths a lap because what they're focused on is B. versus driving. And when they're not focused on driving, they drive slower.
Starting point is 01:18:41 So I'm not afraid to say every time you key the button up, you run slower to make them shut up or, you know, whatever. Todd Parrott was one of my favorite crew. chiefs I've ever worked with. He would literally key up and say, shut up and drive the car. And guess what you did? You shut up and drove the car because it was Todd Parent talking to you. So I think, T.J. agree.
Starting point is 01:19:00 If they're talking, they're typically going to run slower. I just remember Burdette telling the driver one time, the driver just got done going on a rant. I don't remember who it was. Reagan. But he went on a little tangent, and Burdett just goes, are you done? just casually asked him, are you done yet? And I'm pretty sure
Starting point is 01:19:23 it pushed Regan over the top. You say that usually makes it way worse. He just quit at that point. Like, he just stopped. It was pretty funny. Yeah. Are you done?
Starting point is 01:19:34 It just got silent. So it was kind of like a reverse psychology type thing. Man, here's the cool part about it, though. Like, I've worked with crew chiefs that you can just completely
Starting point is 01:19:46 just trash their cars. You, This car's the biggest piece of shit I've ever driven in my life. It's so tight. It won't turn in a 40-acre field. And then the guy will key up and go, 10-4. But then I've also worked recruit chiefs, that will turn around and just absolutely argue you with everything you're saying.
Starting point is 01:20:03 It's like you're talking crap about their baby. You're telling them to their face they have an ugly baby and they're defending it. So sometimes you work with guys that are really sensitive and sometimes you work with guys that literally, like Johnny Klausmeyer, it doesn't matter what you tell him about the car. Johnny, we only got two tires on this thing. the two are in the infield, the back end's on fire. Like, I'm going to have to climb out. Johnny O'Kia would be like, 10-4?
Starting point is 01:20:26 You just never know, man. It's just about personalities. It's kind of like some people when they get real mad in a text message or whatever instead of like saying something smart, all you get is the K. You know what I mean? That's like 10-4. It almost is worse. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:20:40 If you respond with a K to something that's like, somebody's like, you know, that just makes it worse. If I answer Megan with a K, it's an instant fight. We're not talking for 12 hours. Megan, you want to get in the back seat? Kay. Kay. Or if you don't even respond with the K, you just like like the text. Oh, that's it.
Starting point is 01:20:59 That's it. Megan knows the police. Kay. Okay. Oh, this next one is from Big underscore Red 24. What is your favorite car that you've ever owned? T.J. Oh, man.
Starting point is 01:21:17 I haven't owned a lot of cars. I tend to hang on the cars for a long. long time but I did have a I did have a 95 firebird at one point and it was actually a lot of fun to drive that was probably my favorite car that I owned did your car have a name Pontiac Firebird no you don't name your cars no I don't name my cars what's yours what do you drive a do funny oh yeah I could say something right there but I probably get in trouble we uh We named our cars in P-Town, man. My favorite car, and I've had a lot of cars, is a Mazda 626.
Starting point is 01:21:56 It was a 1986 Mazda 626, and we called it the Mazda, me and all my friends. So I totally didn't a wreck, Ben Shurman. I ran a stoplight, and I got T-Bone, and I went spinning out in front of the Pizza Hut on Independence Boulevard. And the cop got there, and she was like, did you run that red light? And I said, ma'am, I didn't see a stoplight to tell you what color it was to start with. She didn't give me a ticket. She sent me home with a totaled Mazda. We bought it back to the insurance company.
Starting point is 01:22:24 I got it repaired. And I kept it until I was out of college. And I sold that. And I bought a BMW 325. And I will never ever, if I had that to do ever again, I would have kept that blue Mazda. Man, what a great car. So did you just name that car because somebody pronounced it wrong there? I was going to say.
Starting point is 01:22:41 I think everybody called your car a Mazda. The Mazda. It was the Mazda. What's my truck got a name? You stopped naming him after you That's Bertha. Yeah, you got Bertha on your hands. She's a big old bitch.
Starting point is 01:22:58 Q Jason's arm. Wait a minute. Why did you get that big car, Freddie? You don't even have kids in there. I need something to get to the airport. I stole it from Brett. I didn't really pay for it. I just stole it.
Starting point is 01:23:10 Bigger back seat. I just got a tin of windows. I ain't enough telling what him. And he's been doing it. You can't, you cannot see out of this truck. If you want to go somewhere, you've got to roll the windows down and look around. So you see it's black in there at all times. His brother lives with him.
Starting point is 01:23:23 It's Freddie's birthday. John. It's John's birthday late, T.J. So, what, Freddie and Meg are going to go on a date in the expedition. They're just going to go sit in the driveway later to give John a minute to himself. That's nice.
Starting point is 01:23:36 Yeah. That's nice. Well, happy birthday, John. Yeah, he's John's birthday. He did. John's out of bed yet? Yeah, he was up here this morning. I don't know where he's at.
Starting point is 01:23:44 He's watching the dog somewhere, I think. He's living babysitter. So, John's a birthday. John's been down here for, John's been down here for like two years without a job, and as soon as coronavirus hits, he wants to go to work at Amazon. Nonetheless, like, surely that's a safe place to work. You don't deal with many people over there, no packaging or nothing. I wish John would walk up in the background with, like, no shirt on in a bowl of Syria or something.
Starting point is 01:24:06 No, we want them to have a shirt on. No one who takes that first part out. All right, well, who gets a shirt? There, bye. John? John. I don't think we got them that big. I'm gonna eat hey can we get some 4Xs bread I'm I'm starting out grow most of my clothes
Starting point is 01:24:26 I need to uh I need to uh how you've been eating at home not eat now it don't matter it's the fact that I'm sitting here doing nothing all day I gotta get out here's how stupid I am right I can confirm this to two weeks ago they said all right all bars and restaurants are shut down you're not allowed to come in here and eat so I've ate every single meal from home. I don't understand how we can still get takeout food. Like I could see if one place was able to be open
Starting point is 01:24:55 and they test these employees like daily or something, but like how do we know where we can go eat? Because I want to go get some takeout, but I'm scared. How do we know how to do that? Russian roulette? You just have to hope they're wearing gloves. What do you want? I'll cook it here instead of it by the sidewalk. Come grab it.
Starting point is 01:25:14 I haven't left my house either, so. like the other day I wanted a pizza well I made pizza instead of going to get a pizza but I didn't want my my pizza I wanted to go get like a pizza yeah I didn't go get a pizza because I was worried about it and I see I see like Joel's rolling through here with delivery Joel's is a great Asian place right up the street like how do I know it's okay like how do I know that every Uber driver they said New York had it or Freddie said that was one of the big spreading factors was Uber drivers like how do I know that the driver ain't got it how do I know the cook ain't got it like I want to support these local businesses I've actually been on go fund me page There's one for a Lake Norman Tavern, which is right down by me. And I donated money to them to help pay their staff. But I'm afraid to eat out. Are y'all in that same boat or no? I had ghost face the other night just because I didn't have anything here to cook at the moment. And I didn't feel like cooking.
Starting point is 01:26:03 So I had ghost face pizza delivered. But other than that, I haven't eaten out of all. What is Ghostface? Is that the brewery? Yeah, Ghostface breweries over here by my house. Hey, awesome pizza. It's really good. Great pizza.
Starting point is 01:26:14 Yeah. Yeah, really good. No, I didn't know they had pizza. Casey, I know you've been super paranoid about this since you're pregnant. We have eaten out a few times. Yeah, she ain't cooking. What? I cook on occasion.
Starting point is 01:26:28 Not very much. But, yeah, I have eaten out a few, like, order it in a few times. And, I mean, it's good because they say, like, contactless delivery. They'll just leave it at your doorstep. But you really don't know, like, what's going on at their restaurant. You just kind of have to trust. And I don't know. Have there been studies?
Starting point is 01:26:46 I thought I saw a tweet that said that they're not sure if it can be spread through food specifically. I don't, I mean, I imagine that's probably a risk that, like, should be considered. But I have a few times, and, I mean, it's just a challenge because, like, if there's not anything available at the grocery store or you can't go to the grocery store, like, I haven't gotten to the grocery store in a really long time. And if you don't have anything, you kind of just have to go for it and hope. We've ordered groceries And had them brought in Can you still do that? Yeah
Starting point is 01:27:19 Yeah But we My wife's so paranoid about it She like wipes everything down When we get it and stuff And we're like to It's fine Yeah
Starting point is 01:27:29 Especially with the kids over there Yeah Crazy times man Crazy times Yeah I'll tell you what though It's good to see people I mean you walk
Starting point is 01:27:43 I've seen more people walk in the neighborhood still everybody waves at each other you see people that live in your neighborhood and see you know around that you're not that you're hanging out with them or whatever but everyone's waving um i just saw a tweet this morning that said one of the um soccer clubs all the players took a 70% pay cut to keep paying all the employees um that work for the team that they were going to lay off so they could keep them and pay them full time which i think there's a lot of people stepping up in this time and we talked about it before i think mark cuban might have been the first one one of the first ones to step up and and do that
Starting point is 01:28:14 because there are going to be people bad off in these times. And it's good to know that, you know, the people that make a lot of money are donating and helping out in this time of need. So it's cool to see Americans, you know, come together and help each other. I went out and bought a bunch of bicycles. And I was explaining to my kids how not to use too much front break. And I showed them what would happen. Did you do it? I flipped over the fucking handlebars.
Starting point is 01:28:43 I cut the shit out of my life. leg. Look at this. I cut my knee. I cut my hold on a minute. Well, we can come out of hair. Brett's got pants on. Confirm. I'm a mess. Brett, we get the point. I'll tell you, there's a lot of stories, you know, that, you know, you see a lot of stuff. And one kind of hit close to home here with us. I don't even know if you guys are aware of this, but Tyler Green, his wife Whitney,
Starting point is 01:29:08 which don't need to go in much detail, but she's had some complications from a gallbladder surgery. And she's in the hospital now, with some more complications. And Tyler and they have two kids, young kids, I think like five and one's a couple months old or almost a year probably now. And they can't go see their mom. You know what I mean? So Whitney's by herself in the hospital. Nobody can get to her.
Starting point is 01:29:28 You know, I think her mom might work in the hospital. So she may be able to see her. But, you know, you see a lot of stories like that. You know, tough times for people where they, if somebody is sick or, you know, older people in the hospital, their families can't go visit them. So, you know, stuff like that sucks, really. But just hoping for the best for Tyler and them. I talked to him yesterday on the way home from Brits. And it's kind of a situation, but, you know, thinking about them guys and hoping for the best.
Starting point is 01:29:50 Man, that sucks. Yeah, two kids full-time. It's hard. I'm lucky to have an hour right now. Every once in a minute you might hear one scream in the background. But, man, Tyler's got to say it's cool, I'm sure. So, but hopefully she can get out of that and get pulled through that and they can get back together again at some point, sometime soon. Absolutely.
Starting point is 01:30:11 That's hard to believe that, like, you literally can't, are not allowed to. go in a hospital and i know it's that way here it's that way in charlotte it's that way everywhere around every yeah every every appointment has you're not allowed to have like chad can't go with me to any appointments um and they even said like in august when i'm due that there's a chance you know chad might not even be allowed in in the labor and delivery room so you you just don't know um but i know there's a few situations in that in that case as well yeah can they do like a home delivery Can you need like a home bill? I'm being serious.
Starting point is 01:30:44 Like I know most time I'm being serious. What is something goes wrong? What's something going on? No. Yeah, there isn't their bathtub. No. I would like an epidural and I would like to have. In the bathtub?
Starting point is 01:31:00 I ain't having no baby in my bathtub. No. No, that's where it came out. Casey, can you go to all your normal check? Like, Junior on his podcast was talking about that they're not able to do a lot of the same stuff because of the urgency to get, you know, patients that need more attention right now in. Are you having to need that? Are you talking about for Amy? Yeah. Yeah. Just some of the, I guess, checkup stuff. So we got lucky. My anatomy skin was last week and Chad was able to go. But right
Starting point is 01:31:28 after she said, this is the last appointment and from now on spouses aren't able to go. They are due, they have allowed, they've kept every appointment so far. I had one that was rescheduled to Wednesday. But so far, so good. And I don't know if it's because of being pregnant that's the case. I'm not sure what situation Amy's in. But yeah, it's scary because you walk into the waiting room and nobody's there. But so far nothing has been canceled, thankfully.
Starting point is 01:31:57 Because I feel like this is a rough time where you kind of need to be on schedule with how things are going during a pregnancy. Well, you all stay safe out there. Stay active and man, what a time. Enjoy the time with your families and stuff. We don't get mandatory breaks like this hardly ever. So enjoy it while you came. Yes, absolutely. Don't forget, you know, more ways to win some shirts while you have some time.
Starting point is 01:32:25 So be sure they'll like, share, comment, a ton of crap about Brett. I mean, not to post anything. I'm going to eat some doubled eggs. Y'all been fun, but I'm hungry. Reviews, good reviews only. Yes, thank you. Thank you guys so much for listening.
Starting point is 01:32:42 Hope y'all are hanging in there during this tough time. Yeah, thanks for coming out. Hopefully, Jason doesn't screw this video up, and he's going to delete him. Somebody screenshot that. Jason just flipped us all off. Yep. Thanks for joining us, and we'll have something new next week. Check out Dirty Mo Media on YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
