Check the flag. You're win. Do you want inside information? You will not be able to repeat it to your kids, but you will learn and you will laugh.

Door, bumper, clear is on. Hey, everybody. I am T.J. Majors. Spotter of the 88 cup car, the 7xfinity car. and the 29 truck, and I had the four modified last week. Really? You're modified racing now? I modified race last week. Dude, what's next?

Hooters Pro Cup, ASA? Anything with wheels. I've got a kid and a wife. Speaking of kids, Brett Griffin here, Spotter for Elliot Sadler, Clint Boyer. I got my little girl Keeley with me today. You want to say? Hello. Anything else you want to say?

And our lovely co-host, as always. Hey, guys, it's KB. A B. In the host. Turn down. That's how Elliot says house. So, you know, we say house. He says host.

Hose. Yeah. Sometimes it's hard to tell if he's from Canada or employer. Out. There's a mouse in the house and it's out. Out. What about water? They don't say ambulance.

They say water. They say butter. They say butter. They don't say water. Yeah, that's what I was going to say. Brickhouse says water. Water. Water.

Water. Water water with some butter. 104 towel. That race where it was, well, wheel. Wheel, wheel. It was wheel, sheriff, and Elliot. I couldn't understand what the heck was going on. So the other thing they do that's weird, like if your lights go out at your house, what would you tell people?

My lights went out. They say, we don't have any current. And so the first time they say that, I'm like, current, there's no waves around here. What are you talking about current? When I say the power is out. Right, the power's out. They say, we don't have any current. No current.

And I'm like, who says this? You people are, it's like a 50-mile radius of weirdness up there in the southeastern corner of Virginia, you know. Some strange. Eighth. Yeah. Well. So we're at the Exaltta studio. Yes.

Bringing it. Thanks to one main financial for presenting this show. And in the Exaltes Studio, let me tell you that the Exaltter Racing.com website got a. Refresh coat of paint. So head on over there to get all the latest news, photos, and schedule for Dale's number 88 exalt to Chevrolet. Yeah. So how about that Bristol race that never ended? This was, I was there forever.

What day did you go? What day did you go up? I left my house at 5.30 a.m. Wednesday morning. And when did you get home? 11 p.m. Sunday night. That's a long deal. Yeah, it was a really long time. I was out of close.

I hear Tennessee's lovely this time of year. Thankfully, it's lovely and wet. Yeah. So I saw a few interesting things on the way up. We're getting close to Bristol and we're, you know, 10 minutes from the racetrack. And I'm looking at houses and stuff and riding along. And I see an olympical machine and a treadmill in the front yard of a house. What did you say? Olympical. Elliptical. Is that how you train for the Olympics and an olympical? Something like that. So they're in the front yard of this house. Pick them up. No, I think they were actually stationed there for use. That's their gym. Their gym was their front yard. Yeah, that was like the... You should put a 10 by 10 up, man. It didn't even have a roof.

I know. I'm saying. When it rains, you put a 10 by 10 up. That was a Bristol, Tennessee. These are Josh's people. That was their total gym. You think they charge like five bucks

to be able to come over and use their equipment? I mean, I would have... Could you imagine driving by and seeing somebody running on a treadmill in their front yard? It'd be amazing. I would laugh my ass off. Like, literally. I'd probably wreck. So that started off my weekend.

And I thought that was interesting. And it just went up from there. Yeah. You know, we had a full day of racing on Wednesday, and it even got messed up by the rain a little bit with the modified race getting rained out. We ran a little bit. They wrecked a lot. We didn't get to halfway, so we had to run it after the truck race.

And then Thursday. So you did the truck race and then the modified? Yeah, we started the modified. Then we had to quit doing the modified because of rain. The truck race was going to go off on time, so they ran the truck race and the modified race after. Yeah. Then we got up Thursday and we had the lovely Xenity practices.

Which were rained out. One. One. One extenity practice on Thursday. And then we started our normal weekend on Friday. Which actually Friday was okay. Friday was great. Except qualifying.

Hey, go out. Oh, it's still raining. Hey, go out. Oh, it's still raining. Hey, go out. It's still raining. Tracks green. Nobody goes.

It's pouring rain. Yeah. It was that dry rain. It was a dry rain. So, yeah, it was, and then obviously the cup race, it got bad after, it got really bad starting Saturday. Yeah, we had a big pajama party at Elliott's bus after the postponed cup race. Moist. Yeah, everything was really moist.

Brad Little spent the night with us, slept on the floor. He actually slept on a little bitty blow-up mattress that's about the size of this couch. And Brad's a big boy. Yeah, he's not tiny. He was a lot bigger than the bed. Did he wake up in the morning and it had deflated? I was like, man, why don't you stay with your? driver Casey Kane. He's like, you guys are more fun. I was like, yeah, of course we are.

They watched the fight. Did you watch the fight? Yeah, on the way back to the hotel after the Exfini race. I mean, I didn't see the first round because I was still coming in from the race. Did you buy the fight? No, I watched it on Periscope illegally because I couldn't buy it because I'm not smart enough to figure out how to buy it. I did the same thing. Every round I watched, McGregor was getting his ass kicked and then all of a sudden he wins the fight. See, I, as soon as I fired it up, I saw him knock down the other guy. Is he on mind-altering drugs? He looks like it. Are you? He's got crazy eyes. He does it. How about?

He flipped out during the, what was it, the press conference or whatever? They always. That's the soap ticket. I know. Come on. They're selling. But he looks crazy in the eyes. He does. His interviews are actually pretty comical. Like the one from the previous fight, I don't know if you've ever washed any of them. He, you know, they're doing, both of them around at the same time, not in the same room, but they're on headsets. And they're, have you seen this at all? I only see it. So they ask. So they ask. So they ask. like, all right, both you give us a, you know, a mic check, count the 10. He's laughing. He's like,

oh, Nick, he can only count to five and stuff like that. That's pretty good accent. He looks like a skinny Maddell Jr. He's, you know. Yeah. Inked up. He, I'm, but when I fired the fight up, I saw him knock down Nate. I feel like Conner's That was first round then, right? Maybe. I don't know. Yeah. I feel like Connor had more quality hits than, then what Nate did. But man, Nate never stops. No. He's got, he looks, his face looks like, They're rocky at the end of it sometimes. They're still swinging.

So we'll have a third fight. They're going to fight again now, I don't think. One's got to win. The other one's got to win. You've got to have a tiebreaker. Anybody in the UFC hears this, please schedule it during a day race with the Cup series. Yeah. Or the Xfinity series, please.

Yes, please. There's a pretty big audience that watches that with us. Yeah, for sure. And, you know, I would love to, you know, I'll just periscope it again if I got to. Yeah. You got any driver updates for us, man, official for the 88 yet for this weekend or no? They're going to announce Wednesday. Are they?

What the current weekend plan is going to be. Yeah, that's plenty of notice for you. Yeah, I mean, good news is I want to change frequencies in my radio, so that's good. Yeah, you got that part down. I'll show up and see you and says, hey, on the radio Friday. Yeah. Speaking of this weekend, how about the 8.30 a.m. practice on Saturday again. I love those practices.

I was going to make a good schedule, but I got high. It's like, who? Who makes these things? I don't know. I believe the word is NASFER? Yeah, I don't know. Here's our struggle. Like, we're going to go race in 90-degree temperatures at 2.30 in the afternoon.

It's hard to make anything applicable at a one-grub racetrack where you run 220 miles an hour right around the bottom at 8.30 in the morning. Yeah. Plus, I'm not awake at 8.30, usually, you know? That's a... Imagine your alarm clock going off at 8. And at 830, you're in a race car going 250 miles an hour. Thank God, I'm just watching them.

You know? up earlier. Yeah. Yeah. Why? You can't. You shouldn't get up before seven unless you pee in the bed. That should be an American rule.

Well, I mean, maybe you need to stop having the four dude slumber parties and air mattresses and stuff in motorhomes. I mean, I don't even want to know anymore. You brought up the 830 practice. Yeah, well, you brought up the summer party with a bunch of dudes. What does that 830 practice do to you? Why do you not like it? And you don't drink coffee. I don't like it.

I don't drink coffee. I don't like it because we don't. it's just fast speeds. Everybody's going on fast, tons of grip. I don't like it because it's kind of, that's not the feeling the driver is going to feel when we take the green flag on Sunday. He's not going to feel that grip,

that cool air, that grip. Michigan's usually pretty cool in the mornings too. Very cool. I mean, you know, that's way different than what we're going to race. It's not like we're going to at Daytona, Teledyg, I would say, you know, whatever. Yeah, who cares?

Michigan, I mean, that's a track that's really temperature sensitive. So, yeah, you're going to just go fast. So I don't know. I'm just not a big fan of it when it's that early in the morning. Maybe, I don't know. You want to come to Red America instead? No.

El Cart Lake? No. Wisconsin. I hear that's fun. It is. That's a great track. Cheese curds. Bring me back some.

I will. Can you like make them where they'll still be good? Sure. I'll keep them in the microwave for you. I love cheese cards. Keela, you would love cheese curds. You love cheese. They're good.

They're like mozzarella sticks. I have no clue what they are. Yeah, I know. We don't, we don't. Because we don't live in with Scotson. Yeah. I've never been there. I'm not sure I really ever want to attend that race.

I've been to the SECA runoffs. I'd love to go there. That was a lot of fun. To, like, spot? No, I don't really want to spot. I just want to go to infield and party. Okay. Three days.

Well, that's different. I don't want to go there to work either. Why? There's no, where are you going to stand? You can only see one corner to time most of the tracks. That's called easy money. You get a helicopter and some binoculars. Yeah.

That's not easy money. Well, you need like seven spotters, and they're probably just going to split the pay up between all seven. Yeah, I'm not signing up for that part of it. You'd have to shop a hot air balloon. Yeah, all this spotters are in a hot air balloon. Why don't you spot? You could probably see five corners of one night.

Josh, you actually have to spot this weekend. They haven't told you yet. Oh, great. Yeah. Yeah. Well, that's one person I can understand on the radio. You actually, you might be spotting too. Clear?

Oh, I'm at near. You're all right? Damn it. Have you seen the entry list? Any ringers? I don't think so. Bill Nouve? Oh, I hope not.

Why? We're watching it. He's an idiot. Because he makes me mad. Oh, man. All right, Kristen, what do you got? You guys ready to go into spot-on, spot-off? Hey, so many people have been saying to me lately, that's spot on.

I think our show audience has gotten so big. We've got a trademark it so we could get royalties. They've gotten so big that it's part of their everyday life. Our colloquial terms? Because it's not people who they like, Brett, that's spot on. You want to know something to speak? bought off. What?

My damn shoes that I wore Saturday night. Wow. They wet. They still soaked right now. Oh, wait. Wait, guys. Did you see who came to the racetrack with a t-shirt? Yeah, your boy, Travis Campbell.

Yeah. If you didn't turn him down, does he make the t-shirt? He made the t-shirt. He had it on. If you didn't turn him down. Oh. Would it say, I went to prom with Kristen? No, it wasn't said that.

And scored? I'm going to keep this rated R. I'm sorry, rated P. EG. Because generally I would go here and this would get fun, but I'm not going to do it today. I'm going to let it go. Spot on, spot off. Let it go.

Bristol polishing is attempt to bring back old Bristol. Spot on, man. Spot on and Michigan, get your sealer out. Michigan used to be one of the best racetracks on the circuit, and that's one group. Get your sealer out and put it in the second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh groove. And try to do what Bristol tried to do. because it worked wonderfully up until 100 laps to go in the Xfinity race, and it was kind of worn out.

Yeah, spot on, too. They made at least racing. People actually ran the bottom to pass, especially through one and two. Exfinali race was wild. Yeah, they were all good. They were all good. They were in the bottom line on the truck and race, pretty much the entire race. It seemed like the bottom was preferred through one and two,

but three and four, the top could just, it's a little bit wide, like, wider radius of a corner so you could roll more speed there. And the top will just roll a little bit faster there. Spot on for sure. Yeah, spot on, start in the third groove, Michigan. See you Friday. Spot on, spot off. Kyle Busch wrecks himself in the Xfinity race.

DJ, what do you got? Anytime Kyle Bush wrecks himself is spot on to me. I'm going to go with spot off and here's why. Because he has a resource. And his resource is called a spotter. and his spotter is telling him he's still outside he's still outside and Cowbush ignores him and wrecks himself so and blames the other guy and blames the other guy had he listened to the voice in his ears he would not erect I think he was listening to

the voice in his ears but he just chose not he knew that was his chance I think he was trying to force Brad in the lifting right because you know how guys will kind of come up and they'll fake kind of yeah they'll get a guy to lift yeah and you know Brad didn't lift This also happened in 2010 with the same two guys, and Kyle came across Brad's nose, and Kyle then got behind Brad and just spun him out. It happened with Elliot and Kyle years ago in the truck race. Elliot is passing him for the lead,

and Kyle does the same thing in the truck race, and then he wrecks Elliot because he wrecked himself, and then Eddie DeHot comes down there. What was that? I'm like, we were outside, asshole. That's what it was. That's what causes wrecks, is when people are outside and other people move up

in front of him. You know, so Kyle, it just, I don't know, he's got that mentality right now of I'm the guy, I'm the man. I mean, he gets up in front of the whole thing and says, this is the Kyle Busch show. And then Brett Kasselowski said, well, it just got canceled. Right. I mean, that's kind of what happened. Yeah.

Well, and I don't, I just don't know how you get out of the car at that point and not say, hey, that was my chance of going for the win. I tried. I failed. And that's the end of it. Yeah. How do you get out and say, the other guy's a dirty driver? How do you do that?

You're a champion. You messed up going for the win. Should listen to a spotter. Should have. Tony Hirschman. Somebody. Hershey. Listen to somebody.

Hala. Spot on, spot off. Harvick and Stewart do the double burnout. Spot on. It's cool. I think, you know, it's cool. Tony's doing these things for these places, you know, for his retirement. And I think it's people like it, man.

They were digging it. I thought it was cool that he did it. I thought India was cool, too, that he takes an extra lap for these people and makes them. He's a very well-respected guy in the racing community. It's cool that the drivers are asking him to protect him to protect him to participate in these things. That's one part of it. The second part of it is he had an issue early on and he said after the race, you know, the last 10 laps, I just said, hey, I'm going to take this all in, even though I'm not running well, I'm going to take this all in and just be thankful for how much

I love this place. So great perspective. Spot on, spot off. Visible tattoos on athletes when they compete in their sport. Hmm. I'll go spot off. I'll go spot off. I got to go spot on. I got to go spot on, man. I love tattoos. If I was a professional athlete, I'd be inked up. No regrets. Kristen, what do you think? You got tattoos.

I think they're fine as long as they're not like racist or something that would, you know, your sponsors. Well, there's no room for that. Yeah. No, I love tattoos. I love people who show their, let their freak flag fly. So, I mean, if you look at the Olympics, I mean, there's guys swimming with tattoos on. We didn't used to have that, you know. our sport's still pretty reserved.

Have you got a wedge? I got a Charlie horse. Why don't you tug on your butt? I don't have anything to see. Hey, man. My pants were falling down. Her freak flags flying. Sorry.

I got a Charlie horse on my leg. Did you Charlie horse yourself? Who Charlie horse you? Patrick Swayze. I mean, ghosts. Sorry. Yeah, no, I'm all for visible tattoos and invisible tattoos. What's invisible?

You can get white ink. Yeah. and get it so it only shows up on black light that looks like you got branded though it does I'll agree with that but some people do it so they can have tattoos but their employer won't or their parents don't like that should no no tattoo should be only visible in black light that's well it's visible it looks like you've been branded though it's like it looks like a scar it looks like a scar but in black light it's bling right yeah but at what point like once the last time you were in black light like at a black light phone party yeah Friday night yeah yeah I mean

That's probably going to say Friday night, Saturday night. When wasn't I? Do the electric slide? Anyway. Any places that still plays that should be closed down immediately. Any place. That's a place you can still smoke in the park. Yes, I know.

All right, guys, we're heading into Fast Lane. If you don't know what that is, I'm going to give TJ and Brett a topic to debate, and we're going to alternate who responds first. They each get 30 seconds, and then whoever responded first gets a 30-second rebuttal. four of the topics will be racing and one will be an off-the-wall non-racing topic. Probably suck. TJ, you are up first and I'm sure these topics are fun. I don't know why you set this timer up. You just let him keep going.

You never ding him. I'm always done on like 15. Oh, gosh. You guys are... I've heard that about you before. TJ, you're at first. Never lost a race yet. Ben Kennedy took home the checkered flag at the Bristol truck race.

Ben is the son of Lisa France Kennedy and the grandson of Bill Jr. Is it a big deal that Ben got a win? Ben got a win. I don't think it's, you know, I think Ben's just an up-ecoming driver, and I think it's a good story for just an up-becoming driver, no matter what his name is. So, congrats to him and his team. He seems to find a home there a little bit.

Things worked out just right for him, so it's pretty cool. We'll see him win. I think the legacy of the France family is now a big deal because this is Bill France's senior's great-great-grandson, Bill France Jr.'s grandson, Lisa Kennedy's son. I mean, she's the president of ISC. So this is just another feather in the... I can't talk.

That's not even a word, is it? We were supposed to be with a blue parrot. Are you drunk? No. It's another feather in the France legacy hat. I love it. Yeah, you know, Ben, everyone... You know, a lot of people don't know the story behind Ben either.

There's a lot that don't put to it that don't know that. So, you know, just good for Ben for building his name up and being successful. So he owns a lot of cars, too. He owns a handful of race team. So Ben's obviously a businessman, too. How old is he? Graduated from Florida, I think. I think he's in his low 20s.

Yeah. Not that young. I think mid-20s. What kind of cars does he have? Late model stuff. Not really? Yeah. Yeah.

Kyle Bush was obviously frustrated on Sunday when he got hit by the 46. He said, Biggest moron out there is the spotter of the 46 and the driver of the 46. Was this the fault of the driver or spotter or do wrecks at Bristol happened so fast? You have to make a decision on where to go and hope for the best. Brett. Wrecks happen everywhere fast.

Bristol, they seem, intend to happen even faster. When you're able to go back and dissect the radio communication that the driver was given, then you can start making these assumptions immediately after a wreck. I don't know that Kyle had that kind of intel. I think he was just being typical Kyle. Yeah, you know how to fix this problem, right? How? Don't wreck.

Yeah. If you don't wreck, you don't get hit. True. So fix your problem and then you won't get hit. Yeah. ding. Yeah. I'm a T.J.

I don't even have anything else out of that. I don't have to rebut nothing. I just drop the mic. Yeah. It's the T.J. show. Yep. Ty Dillon took the lead in the Xfinity race with 10 laps remaining. Winning would guarantee us fought in the chase.

Ty ended up his Bristol Night with a DNF. What were your thoughts on what he did wrong? T.J. You know, I was a little disappointed in it. You know, he took advantage of two guys racing real hard and made a great move. You know, the door opened for him. And he took advantage of it and got out. front. And, you know, Ty's been racing long enough. I thought, you know, I really expected him to get to

lead and be harder to get back around him. I didn't think Ty. I thought it was a really rookieish mistake that he made doing that. So I was kind of disappointed in it. How many seconds was that? 24. Yeah, you're like 50 on everyone so far. Ty, Ty Dillon takes the lead, as T.J. said. All he has to do is run 10 clean laps up against the wall. By now the bottom groove is already gone. The very first lap after he took the lead, he brushed the wall. The next, the next. The next corner he brushed it again the next corner he piled it get out of your mirror hit your mark stop choking you win the race yeah I was uh you know Ty how many years is he this is the second full year as Finney right

second or third and he's got two in the trucks probably as well maybe yeah you know that so Ty you know this this this this this shouldn't happen yeah it is you know if this is his first year maybe Suarez somebody like that just given their first full year in it somebody like that yeah but come on Ty rain was the major issue at Bristol all weekend It rained all five days that NASCAR was in town. At what point do you think it is too late to try and get the race in for the fans? Brett.

I wanted to keep trying Saturday night because I felt like we had a great crowd there. I felt like it was a big enough race to keep the TV audience going. I just wonder if there was something that we didn't know. Like it was okay if the race had already started and we're able to have that noise e-crap going on late. I just wonder if we didn't have it started by mid-noburn. night if something was going to come into effect to make us have to stop. Yeah, you know, it would almost be nice to know when you go to these tracks if there's a race, what time you had to be started by, what time the track has to be, you know, what time the race

needs to be started by, or if it's still raining at this point, there's no sense in trying. I wish we would go into the weekend with a schedule more like that because we sit there a lot and wait and wait for any word at all. So it'd be nice to know. You know, I know they're probably never do that because that's going to mess up. traffic sales you know sales TV stuff like that yeah yeah you at a tj's point i mean we have to be able to get traffic outbound before we can do anything about it so you know while we're still trying to get people in we certainly can't be giving people the reason to leave but i'm i want to stay there

in race if it's at all possible depending on what the radar looks like if the radar looks like if the radar looks terrible to tj's point call it early like there's no reason to stick around there all night some tracks i mean depending on where you are have noise ordinance that, you know, they can't run past a certain time. I'm not saying Bristol is. Well, Bristol, though, I think there may have been something in place where we could have run, but I don't think we could start after a certain time. Like, after midnight, fire up and wake all the neighbors up, you know.

And I think these noise ordinance things now are kind of built that way. You know, like, had we been already running before midnight? I think we're fine, but I don't think we can fire up at two in the morning, you know. I was ready to be there until however late it took. I just wanted Sunday off. Me too. I was going to get home at 7 in the morning and still be happy. Yeah. Radar was crazy, though.

Yeah. Ryan Locti has been in the news here recently and not for his swimming in Rio. The ever-changing story was releasing. He was robbed at gunpoint and then it turned into he and some others vandalizing a gas station when they were drunk and then being indicted by authorities. In your opinion, what should Lockty's punishment be for his actions in Rio? And by who? Who? Um, TJ.

You know, I think there's still some parts coming out now, isn't there? He's on it's like an apology tour right now. Yeah, but then now there's some, there's some sketchiness with the police down there, too. I thought still, I thought there was still, maybe there was a gun pool. Here's what we know. We know that he won a gold medal. We know that he went to celebrate. We know it was late.

We know he was intoxicated. We know that they did something in a bathroom that they shouldn't have done. We'll call it vandalism, although we don't know that for sure. We know that someone came in with a gun and that, someone said, give me money to fix this problem that you've created. And then we know that he went out and made it sound a whole lot worse than what it actually was. Yeah, he did. So, that's what we know.

But they were saying they didn't use a gun. Well. It's hard to tell from all of the videotapes. But I mean, what's the difference between him lying and them lying? You know what I mean? If they're lying about it, then what makes them any better than him? I don't understand why it's been on the news for eight days. Well, that's because we had talked about something.

It's Ryan Lockheed him, man. Yeah, so our Olympic story is so boring that that's what they have to talk about. I mean, I hate it for all the other athletes because their games are being overshadowed. Like if I'm another athlete, I'm kind of mad at this guy just for this whole debacle. But the media let this happen. But what was the question? What should the punishments be? Punishments should be, I don't know, maybe not allowed him to ever participate in the next Olympics if it wants to.

That'd be an eight-year punishment. Yeah. Ban it. Yeah, ban them from the U.S. team. I got to say his punishments are going to be self-inflicted because I had to an idiot on Twitter, and I hate to call a guy an idiot, but had someone on Twitter that said he gets paid a lot of money to be an Olympic athlete. No, he gets paid a lot of money by endorsements that personally endorse Ryan Locti. These guys, I think, win $25,000 for a gold medal.

But then it gets taxed. Fifteen. Fifteen for silver, you know, five for bronze or whatever that number is. So this guy theoretically went to Rio and spent a lot of four years of his life to win 25 grand. Well, his real money comes from endorsements. That's going to be self-inflicted. Those companies are going to decide we align with this guy's brand, which is somewhat of an embellished liar, or we don't because, you know, we will keep this deal because he's a great swimmer. You know, I don't know. I think he's self-inflicted. So it sounds like Usain Bolt had a heck of a payday. Polk got paid. Yeah, Bolt got paid. Until he just got caught cheating on his girlfriend of two years. Was that real? On Snapchat.

I saw a link to that, but I didn't want to click it. There were all these pictures posted. I don't know if it was him or the girl. The girl said she didn't want anything to do with it, but he's had a, he's just got engaged or was getting engaged, but all these pictures came out the night after he won of him and a lady friend. I feel like there's a lot more that happens there between all the athletes and stuff than what we know. Of course there is.

We need to send somebody down there to get involved in a reporter. An investigative reporter. We need like a PI down there. I'll go. Oh, okay. Yeah. She'll be involved. in it.

She'll be all in the middle of that long distance biking stuff. Steel Johnson. Yeah. I need a DNA sample. I need a DNA sample for you. We got to test you for doping. Chris and what are you doing tonight? Well, I'm going to go out steel.

Yeah. Good Lord. All right. Where are we got? We are at the hashtag ASDBC portion of the day. I'm not even going to say we chose the best or funniest because maybe they're probably not. At J. Steen 234 asks.

Last week you talked about bedbugs. What is the worst hotel? experience you've had. I can't answer this. Why? Now you have to. I don't want to offend anyone at the company. Well, it could be with NASCAR. NASCAR, that's true. Could have been before. You don't have to say who

was with, just what happened. I don't really have a bad story. You liar. You are lying. There is a hotel, motel that... Hotel, Motel, Holiday Inn. Listen, this is how not to act. She's lying right now. No, you had to go down to the lobby to get a

ironing board and iron they didn't put them in the rooms and the ironing board terrible story dirt and blood oh blood dirt and blonde so I was with the world of outlaws I came back from a race and it was like two o'clock in the morning I walked into my

hotel room and there was like three inches of standing water across the entire floor and I was pissed was your luggage on the floor no thank God it was in the back of my car but

I mean, nothing flooded. The floor above me. The guy left his sink on and it filled up and it fell through. What wheel, was it? Wow. We'll one wheel?

A wheel? A wheel? Wow. I will say last, this last year in Daytona for the 24-hour race, we told the owner that we didn't care where we stayed

because we just wanted a place to go and sleep that was close to the track. and it was rough. Yeah, we're talking board a lot. We're getting, get a sleeping bag, you sleep and sleeping sleeping bag on top of a sheet on top of a bed. It was pretty bad. Yeah, I won't take that option again. It's the joy and adventure of traveling.

It is. I mean, you know, there's, I can't think of any really, really bad experiences I've had other than that one. That one was pretty, um, I did rent a, run a room one time in the middle of the night at Daytona after I was shady. Oh, it was shady. It was, before I was working and racing, me and my friend were down there for Speed Weeks. Shark lounge? Yeah. I might have been there early.

Sounds like a shoe show. I might have been, it might have been started out there, but we couldn't find a hotel room, and there was these little pool tabs with a number on it for a bedroom in a house. And now I thought I told you, we got these bunk beds in this house. There's a quadruple paraplegic on the front porch. There's a big old parrot inside that never shut up. Wow. And then we go upstairs.

How did you find this house? It was on a pool tab. And then we called the number like, yeah, we got a room. But where? What establishment were you at? It was just a shady house in Daytona Beach. And we were. Where was the pool tab like advertisement?

Outside of one of them motels, like them really shady looking motels. So we, I hop in the top bunk and I basically almost fall through it because it doesn't have any wooden supports underneath it. So it's like bowed down and my buddy's under it. He's like, whoa, he's got to. his foot up holding me up. Yeah, it was a... That's a disaster.

It was pretty scary. That's amazing. I never slept to wink that night because I was afraid someone's going to come in that room and rob us or... Who knows? I don't know. I woke up one time at college, walked around the house, hoping I'd recognize somebody in the pictures because I didn't know where I was.

Well, not a bad hotel. You want a bad hotel story? Just stay anywhere in Martinsville. There you go. Hey, speaking of pictures, you know what? Somebody on the roof carries around little, like, sticker, like a little graduation picture of like a, or like a, like a, like a guy in like 11th grade or something.

And he puts it on random people's refrigerators when he visits them when they're not looking. So people, they'll come over and be like, hey, who's this? And they're like, what? And that guy's on the refrigerator. And they'll ask. Yeah. All right. Is this really Mike Davis?

Yeah. Don't answer it. It's too late. Hey. We're recording right now. That's TJ, that's not me. You're on the show, actually, through speakerphone. And he's done.

Okay, Brett, you're in trouble. You've got to go to the next office. I'm being called to the carpet. Yep. All right, I'll tell him. He heard you. He's done it now. All right.

Mike Davis sucks. Does NASCAR have any approval or vetting process for the spotters, or is it a driver team decision? It is a driver team decision. Yeah. Depending on, I would say 85% of us are driver decisions. the other 15 are team decisions, and there is not a vetting process. We have talked about approaching them for that,

but I think it's almost a liability NASCAR doesn't want to touch because we don't want idiots up there, you know, and unfortunately there still are some. They can point a hard card, though, right? I'm not even sure how you would weed out. How about a simple Q&A, 15? Give me 15 minutes and I can decide if they deserve it. I would actually need to hear the guy first, too.

Like, I would have to hear, you know, I would have to hear when his car is out of line. They're telling them where to go, and that car is just not moving. We can easily put video on a TV and say, hey, man, you're going to spot, we're going to observe. Let's do it. Let me, Bob Jeffrey, some of the guys have been up there 20 years, figure out if you got it or not. Because we got some. Here's the thing, like when you see a wreck happen, like what happened with a 46 cup car this weekend and you are a spotter, you go, oh, a wreck shouldn't necessarily happen that late after the initial car wrecks, after the first car wrecks.

And the second thing you say is, I wonder how soon the driver knew. The third thing you say is, I wonder what he was told. And the fourth thing you say is, was the driver listening? And then there's all these things, but there are certain wrecks that literally, as spotters, we stand up there and go, oh, man, I hope that wasn't one of our guys, you know, because it can be. Because if you get the right information at the right time, you don't make the wrong decision. I don't know Bristol, though. You can't. Bristol's different.

Bristol is actually a little bit different than the rest. It just happens so fast there. But that's a good question because it could happen this weekend in Michigan, and it could be 17 seconds later. somebody gets wrecked again. Yeah. And that's where we're asking ourselves. There's definitely blatant looking ones that you're like, does that guy not, or sometimes it's not the spotter either.

No. Sometimes that driver just does what he wants. And, you know, and then there's sometimes, there are drivers like that too. So. I've keyed up before after the wreck. Yeah. Which we got in and said, is my radio working? Could you hear what I was saying?

Because it damn sure didn't look like it. You know, so. But again. A vetting process would be nice, but it's not going to happen. Hopefully, when I went through that interview, it wouldn't have been a replay of the time we got upside down at Daytona because I told Doug you're going to hold the break. I would have failed then. Hold the break. Oh, he's upside now.

Never mind. Stay buckled in. That's probably a good idea, too. Hold the break. At S. Heath, 88. Ask, what do y'all do during a long rain delay? Same thing you do during a long rain delay. Sit around and eat.

Eat ice cream. cookies. Everyone's in the hall or eating at that. You know, Bristol, by the way, we got to thank Bristol for letting us use that. And they have a suite on the very end up there, and they open it up for us to stay in. Because we literally have nowhere to go half the time at these tracks. And Bristol had the end suite open and let us utilize it.

We could plug our radios in, charge stuff, get out of the rain, because you run right off the roof. And a couple of times it started raining fast. And we're still on the roof trying to get our guy to pit road. And they basically let us. I was going the first one there. It worked out great. So thanks Bristol for doing that for us.

Yeah, very accommodating. Thank you. And if you guys didn't know you did that, never mind. We all stayed outside of the rain the whole time. Yep. That's just what we do. Absolutely. At SVT, Cobra John asked, does NASCAR listen to team?

Can they hear both channels? Do you have a direct channel to talk with them? Do they listen to us? Yes. Yes. Can they hear both channels? Yes. Do they record what we say?

Yes. Do we have a channel? We can talk to them? No. We have an official on the roof that we can go tell the message we won't convey to the tower. Yeah, but he'll sugarcoat it. He'll sugarcoat it. Yeah.

Thank God he sure. Yeah, I need sugar coating. Yeah, you do. Yeah. My favorite one on the roof is John Socco. Yeah. Oh, I love Socoe. Yeah, he's the most serious.

And I think he's probably the one. He's been around a lot longer than the other official. So he has a higher respect. Him and Jason Brownlow are my two favorites. Yeah. Soco being the first just because he's got a great sense of humor. He does have a good sense of humor. Because if I go down to him and I'm really upset about something,

the next day after we've all calmed down, he'll make fun of me for 20 minutes. Yeah. Big college football fan. I mean, if it's a serious thing, he'll, you know, he's pretty good to handle it too. Yeah, yeah. I like soccer. Yeah.

At Improv QS, what's the grossest thing you've ever seen at a race track? Oh, good Lord. Go ahead. It's just so long. Josh, what you got, you've been outlaw racing. That's got to be nice. That's grassroots. Yeah.

That's a trailer part. I lived in a trailer. I can say that. Josh, probably the tire guy at Ta-O-Degah on Ta-O-Degger board. You wrote this question down. Surely something crossed your mind is the grossest thing you've seen.

I try to block my world about all days out. Yeah, but it doesn't have to be from there. I know you've got something. This is your chance to shine. Oh, man, my chance to shine. This is it. What's the greatest thing you've ever seen? Probably like one of the grossest things

and it's something that happens usually every weekend, and it's not just one weekend, but you get that one guy there, well, multiple guys really that are just completely should never not have a shirt on and have like really, really hairy backs. Yeah. Like T.J.

Yeah, it's sweaty. And usually wearing like a fanny pack with some cargo shorts. Grossest thing I've ever seen. I actually saw a guy. But that's a race fan. Love him. I saw a guy fall off of a golf cart that was sitting still. He was on the golf cart by himself on the passenger side.

Another spotter was with me as my witness. And we were at Texas. And the golf cart was sitting still. And he was somewhat inebriated. And he proceeded to fall headfirst off the golf cart and land head first on the asphalt. And I didn't think he made it. I mean, blood is pouring everywhere. We're all running trying to find help and ambulances.

Ambulance. Ambulance. And fortunately the guy was fine. I guess that's saying of if you're drunk. enough it won't hurt and his girlfriend hurts girlfriend comes up and I'm like look this guy fell he fell really hard and she says what an idiot I'm not surprised and I'm like no no no like he's bad she's like I know he's an idiot I'm like typical woman no empathy just screw you guys you're an idiot that's the grossest thing I've seen I don't do well that uh the grossest thing I I'll go with

the second grossest thing since she's here um I think uh I think if you stroll down Talladega Boulevard you'll see three or four things that might be in your top ten pretty easily. I think they're listening to Tulip Crew. Yeah. I think they are listening to everything on Talladega Boulevard. But, you know, there's definitely, definitely that guy that wears that tire around himself. Oh, yeah. With the suspenders or whatever.

Not okay. Yeah, that just doesn't really. Doesn't do it for you. Because what's he trying to do? Is that how he's like meeting called to try and get women? Or is he just doing it for the show? Do you think he has a speedo on underneath the tire? No, I don't.

Do you know that for fact? No, but I don't think he does. I don't either. I mean, it is Talladega, so I'm sure the grossest end that could probably happen at the racetrack is probably getting a port-a-john pushed over with you. I was going to say I saw someone get locked into a port-a-john, and that alone made me sick to my stomach. I may have ran into one with a car with a buddy in at one time. What is wrong with you?

I did that to Keith Barnwell, at Sonoma. He did not. think it was funny. You remember Clayton? Yeah, yeah. I did it to him at Chicago. He ran in this Porre John and I backed up in the car and I actually sped up and I

hit it and then I kept the bumper of the car in the door so he couldn't get out. Yeah. It was actually funny. I got video actually of it. Something that happened to me while I was in a Porta John. Somebody and I don't know who it was came up and

you know how they have the tube that goes out of the top? Yeah. They threw a freaking smoke bomb in there. It landed in there. And I mean, it was the worst experience. That's phenomenal. That's had to be a big port.

What if they locked you in, too? It was the, it was the one that's in the D.O. lot of Charlotte Motor Spewway. So it was one of the... Just waiting for Elliot by your own business? Did you not just come busting out? Was it? I came busting out, but I was, I mean...

Did you not come out looking for somebody? No, they had all scattered. It was wheel. Wheel? No, this was a couple years ago. We need to get wheel on the show. I'm not going to lie. We need to follow Josh and do this to him and then video it.

Yeah. That's a great J.R.M. 360. That is. I'm doing it now. I know who it was. It doesn't matter because we're going to have video. You're still going to want out. Oh.

Oh, my God. Oh, where are we at? All right, so who won this week? What do you think? T.J. won. So we need to Michigan predictions. He's won four in a row. Yeah.

Should we cut to another break while T.J. takes us time. I should let Keely pick mine. I just need to let Brett pick. You basically had it locked for a little bit. Dude, Dustin, you can't ever have it locked. I had a couple of them locked. Well, like a couple more wins, and he would have had it locked. I felt like it was just getting boring.

I need to let him back in it. So I'm going to do a rookie this week. Oh. I'm going to go with one of the rookies. I wish I had went with a rookie last week, which he wouldn't have beat Stenhouse. Anyway. I'm going to go out on. A. Lim and pick

Ryan Blaney for this weekend. That's a pretty good little pick right there. So you normally give them a middle name? Well, yeah. Young Ryan Blaney. But I put so much thought into who I was going to pick. I didn't have time mentally to come up with nothing

because the whole time y'all were talking that whole last segment, I was studying. I was like, you put a lot of thought into Ricky, stinky Stenke. Is that what I call it? Yeah. Stanky? called him something like that all right

so I'm going to go with where's my list okay I'm going to go with he's pulling up statistics over here racing reference he's getting analytical fantasy

NASCAR I'll take Austin Dillon Austin Dillon I think we have a new record what's the record you're not taking six hours to pick your driver

I think this is also the third show you've made in a row too that's also a wreck of Austin. Dylan. We got a... The gluten girl over here has something to say. We got a match. A match.

T.J.'s got to get out of here. He's got a lot of stuff going on. We can rant for a minute. Can? Yeah, what do you want to rant about? I just, I had something to rant about it, but then I forgot. But then I... You were so mad.

You forgot about it. Text yourself, man. That's what I needed to start doing. Yeah. I was going to rant with you. But I got high. My mom used to call drinking getting high. Like so, I'm in college.

Are you serious? And she's like, right, are you high? I'm like, mom, I've never done drugs in my life. Well, you look high. And I'm like, I'm not high. And then you say something later about drinking. I knew you were high. And I'm like, that's not high.

That's drinking, mother. Mother. Way I grew up, that's high too. Hey, I'll tell you. So you stayed at the track Saturday night. Yes. So we went past the racetrack when we got there Saturday and we parked on the right. So leaving, we would have got right on the road and drove out of there.

We went past the racetrack, turned right, and went immediately. left down this hill and they're like, okay, they're going to open up the gate on the other side and you're going to be able to drive up the hill and get out. Well, that was pre-mud hole. So we get down there and it's me, Eddie DeHont, and Kevin Hamlin, and we're already backed up on a hill a little bit. So we go to pull out. Eddie releases the parking break. We go to pull out and the thing just goes into a four-wheel slide and we almost hit the next car parked up there. Are you serious? So we get stopped. We're all like, okay, what do we do now? And me, and I look over at the dash and it says your hood's open.

So he pops the hood. He's in it. He's got a new car. And he pops the hood instead of releasing the parking brake. So he kind of punched the gas and it drove out and then it locked him up when he lifted. So I get out in the mud and shut the hood. And we have to literally, I feel like we were racing in Ohio. We were looking for grass, like higher grass to drive.

driving because it was, I didn't think we were getting out. What kind of vehicle was it? Like a terrain. We were not getting out. I was dead sure. I mean, I'm looking at, me and Kevin are looking at, like, dude, we're pushing this thing. I mean, that's just it. I'm sitting there looking.

My shoes are already muddy. I'm like, we're going to be a foot deep in mud pushing this two-wheel drive car up a hill. And it still wasn't going to work, I had to tell you. Well, luckily we got to the hill. Front wheel or real wheel? Front, front, maybe. But luckily, we got to the hill, and the hill actually was like gravelly. Yeah.

Oh, my gosh. I did not think we were getting out of that field. That was a miserable time. Wow. That was a bad deal. Yeah. And there were people sliding across the field driving, like without. Right.

And they were panicking. You ever driving snow? Yeah. Oh, yeah. So it's like driving, you know, how when you lock the brakes down, that's the worst thing you can do is locked the brakes down. Because then people were driving like that. Yeah. I mean, it was pretty interesting.

There's some videos, I'm sure, of some of the parking lot stuff, but it was a madhouse. out there. And there was, of course, highly intoxicated people that thought it would be fun to slide down the hill right behind us. I mean, they were having a good time with it. You're dang right. I mean, my people. Josh's people. Those are Josh's people. Yeah. By the way,

thanks to your sister for the hospitality this weekend. She took very good care of me and Kevin Hamlin. I feel like there's some kind of bond forming here. This is the third or fourth time he brought up his sister and taking care of you. This is the third or fourth

time she's asking for your number too. Oh, this is getting weird. Which means she loses it every time. Still comes back. Just saying, I mean, I'm just saying. So are you going to Tennessee for Thanksgiving? No. I was going to ask you want to ride together.

Well, thanks to Exaltin and them for letting us hang out when it rained a little bit there and Josh's sister and the good people there. So thanks for that. Thanks to One Main for sponsoring the podcast. And being good guests every week. Thank you. I guess we will be back after Michigan. Yes.
