Door, bumper, clear is on. Hey, everybody. I'm T.J. Majors. Spot of the 88 Cup car. the 7 Xfinity car and the 29 truck. And joining me. Brett Griffin Spotter for Clint Boyer and Elliot Sadler and our lovely co-host. Hey guys, it's KB.

Back in action. Back in action. We don't have to have Josh over there going, hey guys. Amish. Amish, Josh. Amish Josh. Yes. Amish Josh.

Thanks to one man for bringing this final show of 2016. Door bumper clear. Can you believe it's our final episode? What number is this, Josh? 43. 43. This is the last supper. The last supper.

And you guys didn't even bring beer. Oh, we didn't. We were promised drinks. Yeah, by who? I got a mini bottle left over from the airplane. But, like, seriously, big thanks to Exaltup. Tito. Yeah.

You do have some Titoes. Yeah, they gave me these on the airplane. Because you were in first class. Flying first class. Yeah, Exalt has been awesome. They've went above and beyond as well as one main has to make all this possible in this and just making this part of, you know, Dirty Mill Radio possible, just the studio,

the sponsorship with it and all that. I rode the elevator with two exalted ladies over the weekend, the hospitality ladies. They were hot. I saw that. I thought you were going to be like, they were super nice. That one's been. I'm sure they're nice.

That one, man, she's been sweating me all year. The blonde? Yeah. Oh, God. Must you mess with Josh again. What's her name? She's about ready to have a baby. Oh, she wasn't in Miami.

This chick wasn't in somebody else. Not unless it's like 30 minutes late. Listen, you know who it is? It's Ward Burton's daughter. That's not Tabitha. Is that his mom or not daughter? No, this is another one. Ward Burton's got more than one daughter?

I don't know. Does he? That's what I heard. I don't know, does he? That's what I was told. South Boston, Virginia. Yeah. So, even though this season.

is done, you can still listen to Dirtymoe Radio podcast anywhere, anytime on iTunes, SoundCloud, Stitcher, etc, and feel free to... Stitcher. I've actually never used Stitcher, I'm sure it's great. Stitcher. But you can still rate and review us and send suggestions, get to us on Twitter, Facebook,

etc. Review us. Make sure you send some reviews. That helps us change things. I think everybody should go back and listen to the first episode right now. That would be amazing and then go to this one where we actually, like, it all messes. I bet we sucked on that first show. I bet we were terrible. I was shaking. Well, Josh screwed up.

Josh messed up the first five. Hey, you know what? I wasn't even honored on the first episode. You didn't have Amish producer Josh on the first episode. You can blame somebody else for that shit. Why are you clutching the vodka? Well, I don't want you to take it from me. I think we should just pass it around.

All right. You're going to take half? Yeah. If I open this up, you're going to take half. I'm taking half. All right. We're going to do it right now. Half.

How do you know when to stop half? You just keep going. Keep going. That wasn't. She stuck her tongue on it before she actually swallowed it. I always do that. I don't know what. Oh, no. Delete that.

No. No, no, no, no, no, no. I just remember when I drink out of a bottle. That was perfect. That was gold. That was DVC gold there. That was spot on. I'm sweating.

I'm going to see if I get that way you are. Me too. Fan myself here. Oh my God. It's hot. It's in your pocket. It's because. Because I just-

Brett, you didn't tongue it. Holy shit. I just want to be able to taste how bad the alcohol is going to be before it goes into my mouth. I was not ready for that. Nor that comment you just made. So we just got back from Miami, eh? Hey? We're not Canada.

I spent six nights in that town. I almost died. I didn't spend six nights in Miami. I spent... My chest is on fire. I might vomit. I did spend a lot of nights in front. Florida Tuesday night on.

It's hot. Yeah, it does get up. We landed at 4.30 a.m. on Sunday morning, and Brett calls me at 8. I forgot. Well, do tell, do tell the story. Do tell the story because I panicked on airplanes. Concier? Yes. So we get on the plane on concierge.

It's what time is it, Josh? I don't know. It's like 930. 9.30. We didn't win the championship. We just want to get home. We get up in the air for 30. We're up in the air for 30 minutes.

Captain comes over the planes, whatever, PA system and says, we're turning around to go to Miami, our landing gear doesn't work, or we're not sure. It's better for us to land in Miami than in Concord because it's a longer runway for a landing with no... To ski it. And so everyone, except for Corey, one of our guys on the 88, who's asleep, it's just like, what the hell, man? So we land in Miami, we deplane, we wait for the next concier plane to come. The first thing they do is put all the garbage and snacks on from the non-working plane to the new one. And just like, yeah.

And the pilot's luggage. And the pilot's luggage. And the pilot's luggage. Yes. And then we get on this plane again and we take off and we land in Concord at 4.30 a.m. on Sunday. 39 degrees and we didn't win the championship. And I called you at eight. And I wake up to Brett calling me at eight.

And I'm like, panicking. What happened? Is Elliot okay? And he's like, hey, I just needed a banquet contact, you know. We're just, we just need to buy some seats. And I'm like, you mother. Did you have a jacket when you landed or were you in a t-shirt? I wear a beanie everywhere, so I was good to go.

Man. I had a jacket and a beanie and everything, but it was super cold. Yeah. Like you, even though you were asleep for like two and a half hours, you woke up and you were like, hello! Yeah. It's cold. Well. You needed that vodka.

Yeah? Yeah, that's warm. It's warm vodka. It's hot. I'm over it now. It's like pants vodka. I had a three big races, man. You were in all three.

Yeah, I was in all three. How much boy, Tyler Reddick? He drove his tail off, man. Moving up to Xfinity. Yeah. He drove, honestly, we had a really good shot at winning that race. We needed just a little bit better truck, but he drove really good and put us in contention to win the whole night. So I was really good.

William Byron's on fire, man. William Byron is on fire. I don't think I've seen a rookie come into trucks and be that good since Kurt Busch and Greg Bezger got there. Yeah, it's it. But, you know, sometimes, and I'm not saying this is the case, equipment can give you a false reading. You know, William's but one thing about William is I don't

see him make mistakes. He doesn't make that mistake underneath somebody get the arrow loose type deal. He is super smooth. And he doesn't make that big mistake and he knows where to position his truck and make up time. He's showing a lot of promise

and looking forward to having him here at Junior Motorsports. TJ, do you know who his spotter will be next year since you're obviously just in an Xfinity. I don't know what the lineup's going to be yet. You know if they're keeping me yet? Am I going to be fired? Actually, I'm spotting the Elliott next year.

Me and Sheriff. I mean, we both, maybe both of us are fired. I don't know. I'm just going to be happy on Sunday to be back on the lead lap every week. That's going to be fun. You sure? It's been a long year. You might have to knock Rust off a few races.

I know, I know, man. Saturdays have been so fun and Sundays have been a struggle. I mean, you're still. on Sunday. Did you change? No, I'm saying with Clint, but we're changing teams. Teams, right. Yeah. So Clint yesterday was already right before the race.

Tony does his deal, right? Clint's like, man, it's hard to believe this guy is hanging it up. And everybody's like, yeah. And he's like, but I'm damn sure glad he is. You know, and it's like, yeah, that's true too. Because it gives Clint the opportunity, obviously, go get a fast race. You know, I had Clint paid as being one of the first cautions. You did?

Yeah. You thought he won't be ready to get out. Mike Davis is coming in to bomb our podcast. Mike Davis, the creator of, the creator of, of door bumper clear. He was the brain child. Mike Davis sucks. He was the brain child behind all this.

He was. He was. Yeah. What's up, dog? It is our farewell fare. It's the last supper. Here, speaking to the microphone. Yeah.

Yeah, Mike, speak into the mic, Mike. We're not. Well, Kristen's already ruined the show. We just took a shot of vodka. You brought liquor? It was left over from the airplane, man. It was warm. He had it in his pants.

It was hot. You on that concept. Now, you are. We were. We were. The concierge flight from hell. Yeah, we are. Sorry, we have a good time on this one.

So, spot on, spot off. We're diving in. Or do you want to continue Homestead? We can dive in. I have sadness. You got a ton of it. I tried to screen. I tried to take a picture of you and sheriff, and I was fumbling around, and we were trying to take care of Boston.

During the infinity race? Yeah. They did a lot of spotter stand. We saw you for a ton. but we can't hear the TV under the pit box. So you can see your Exalta crew shirt from space. And then they had you and... Why don't you wear a Brant crew shirt on Saturday?

I figure his Alta and Brant's really close to the same color, so I just stand out. You stick with it. Such a branding ambassador. The sheriff loves this crew shirt, though. Yeah, man, he's official. He's official one main. Did you see what I did on Sunday? Uh-uh.

I wanted everybody to know where I was at. So I did that. You're like, this is my spot. Don't come near me? Like that? When you go back and rewatch that race on TV, just look for that, okay? Did you have your clip-on fan? No, I didn't need it. It was nighttime.

It cools off. T.J. likes to stand on the... So if you ever watch wrestling, you ever watch wrestling? Yeah. Okay. So there's a camera side. Okay. So the cameras are always on one side of the building, and they shoot basically 80% of it. TJ always likes to stand on the camera side of the spotter stand. That is. So wherever the cameras are, that's the side he favors. So we can check to see if he actually got his neck shaved that week. That's the complete opposite of where. There's actually cameras on.

both sides of this. And at Loudon, I don't even stand near the camera stand. He stands in front of the camera stand. So at Loudon, I don't even know where the camera stand is. What does that tell you? It's right down there where you stand. T.J. really wants brand awareness for his sponsor. Yeah, he does.

We got to get you a Brant shirt for next year. Well, I know where the- Yeah, I might have been fired. I don't know yet. Yeah. I think you've been fired. Mike, did we fire him? Mike would be the last person.

Well, I'd probably be the last. Mike has secrets. Just don't do it. it on Twitter. Mike Davis has secrets. The dude that gets fired is always the last one to know. I know where the TV camera is for Loudden. It's right where you told TJ you were going to wreck him a couple years ago when I was up there and where TJ essentially wrecked you back. Yeah. You remember that? Yeah. That's what TV camera is. That's where the TV camera's at. Yeah. Probably saw our hand signals too. Were they middle fingers? Yeah. Oh no, it was the thing.

Can you do that? I don't remember. There was a lot going on that day. Yeah, every day. You tired? I'm tired, yeah. It's been a long weekend. What you're tired from? You're going to sleep all weekend. Working, man. That's what happens when you work all the races.

Oh, God. Here we go. Spot on, spot off. 2016 season overall. Brett, spot on or spot off for 2016? Spot on for sure. I don't think that the fans had any idea. I certainly didn't have any idea as to how intense the chase format was going to be across all

three series. Fun to watch and trucks. I didn't have a dog in the fight. Awesome to be a part of. and Xfinity and on the cup side last night. Holy cow or Sunday night. What a drama-filled race that was. Awesome.

Yeah, there was parts of the beginning of the year that were pretty, you know, spot-off to me. And I'm probably leaning more towards spot off for the old, the most of the season, except for the chase, just because, you know, my season just kind of got flopped a little bit when Del Jr. went out. And it lost a little bit of, you know, that, you know, drive. every week because we kind of knew we weren't going to be able to run for anything at the end. But as far as the chase stuff goes, kind of sitting back, watching the tension on the roof between them guys and seeing that stuff and then kind of cleaning a couple of them out at Phoenix

got really intense and interesting. But I really like the chase format and what it does and how it puts these guys in pressure situations that then normally probably wouldn't put themselves in, and we get to see how they reacted and see the outcomes. I just hope we as a sport realize we have entirely too many rule changes this year, and we don't do that again next year. I bet we had 30 rule changes. And you don't do that in any other sport.

That's insane. Yeah, you don't see football and all that every week. Oh, we're going to move the extra point up this week, back this week, over here to the right hash mark now. It's just. It's insane. We're going to change the size of the football. We're going to let two pounds out.

We're going to make the hash marks be 10 yards wider. I mean, we're just. I like the 17 package personally. When we had those races, I thought, They were really competitive, and it wasn't dominant by one. Right. It wasn't dominated by one group. Well, we did know about the 2017 packages, though, at Gibbs put zero effort into them

because they knew it wasn't going to be in the chase, so they literally didn't do anything. So it would be interesting to see if they're behind a little bit. They weren't that fast. They weren't that great. Yeah. But, I mean, that might show up now a little bit more. Yeah, they were throw-arr races now that it's actually going to be a reality. They may be a little behind.

How do you think they feel now seeing this outcome and doing that? Yeah. You know how? Yeah. What did they get? Third and fourth? Third and fourth. Yeah.

It was second. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, they laid up at Talladega. You know, they were laying. They wouldn't race each other at Martinsville. I mean, I don't know. Oh, yeah, I remember that.

It's kind of weird. Yeah. Spot on, spot off. Sprint's Runners presenting Cup sponsor. I'll go spot on. They've been great to everybody the whole time. I can't remember anything. Sprint's done that's negative.

for the sport. They've been first class, everything they've done at every track we've ever been to. And, you know, we've done a lot of Q&As with them and stuff. And they've been first class, you know, the people that handle it's there and all them people, they've done great over the years. I'm spot off just because I'm sad. It's over. I mean, Sprint's been doing this. I haven't paid a phone bill since 2003. Oh, the truth comes out. There's your sadness. No, I'm, I mean, I've got a cell phone bill. It's just, man, it's sad. It's sad that there's no sponsor yet for 2017. Well, Sprint takes this thing to the marketplace.

They put it in their retail stores. They buy radio ads. Even Nextel and Sprint. They buy commercials. You know, they activate this sponsorship, and it's awesome. You know, I'm kind of glad they didn't do that. I'm kind of glad they held off because that gives Sprint the spotlight until the end. If you talk about something.

Well, they held off because they didn't have anything. They didn't hold off being nice. I know, but I'm glad they held off or whatever because now Sprint, gets the, you know, they're the top deal no matter what till the end. Because if you know if they sign someone else, we're all going to be talking about that. Yeah, all that chatter. So. Spot on, spot off.

Cruise on or smoke on Pitt Road this weekend. I don't know how you could spot off anything like that. That's cool. The guys won everything you can win and been an icon on the sport for years, and he's just a downright good dude. I think he's the best race car driver to ever live in terms of diversity. His kid's amazing. Well, he's not a kid anymore.

He's 45, but he's really hairy. Looks like he's ready to have a kid. I walked in his bus one time and he was sitting on. I'm sorry. He was sitting there playing online poker and he had on Tidy Whitey's. Oh, God. That's not good on any. No guy looks good in that.

He's wore them since he was like four. I don't care. He's the hairiest human being I've ever seen. Yeah. I can't. Did you imagine nearing him? Oh my gosh. Spot on, spot off.

Nairing Tony Stewart. Spot on, spot off Edwards blocks Lugano and ends up in the dang wall. Spot on. You can only push a guy so low before he, you know, inside. Inside, inside, inside, still there. Inside and I just wonder if Ligano was smiling when he did it because I've never seen that guy not smiling.

I'm sure he was. Were you smiling? Have you never seen him? It's all teeth. He's so toothy. Yeah. I was, I mean, toothy. I was glad.

I was glad something happened. right there because we needed a shot of something like that to go down. It went down. It did go down. You know, I don't like seeing big wrecks, but we needed something to happen. And Lugano timed to restart perfectly and got under there and showed that, you know, he's running for a championship. And somehow, Carl doesn't flip a switch and go crazy, which I think we were all expecting.

Can we talk about how classy he was, though, afterwards? Do you think it was real or fake? I know what I think it was I think he's Fag as hell He's a He knows what he needs to do For his sponsor

And his image It was fake as hell But everyone else saw it As classy cousin Carl This guy reminds me So much of Rusty Wallace Like the cameras are on And he's a darling

And they go off And he's a dick Yeah But the media of course Played it up as This is one classy mofo Of course they do Oh he takes such a great guy

He takes his sunglasses Off when he's interviewed That does not make you a great guy In fact, we put sunglasses on Elliot because he kept squinting that one time we were doing an interview. Please put these on. I think there's enough YouTube clips out there to prove that he, you know. He acted like he was going to hit his own teammate at Martinsville. Who does that?

Remember he did this to him? And then he's actually, what? He's almost severely hurt people. If you do that to somebody from Pageland, they're going to hit you in the mouth. Right as soon as you pop. That's how that. He's actually almost severely hurt people as well. Like, in the stands, race car drivers.

He's another toothy person. He has a very toothy face. What's wrong with two? Toothy people are they? Look at Mike. It's all teeth. Spot on, spot off. Kyle Bush's comments that William Byron

will be more successful staying with him than coming to J.R.M. and Hendrick Motorsports. Sounds like the pissed off ex-wife. I think Kyle Bush would have more successful. He had a couple more spangies when he was little too. I mean, geez. You know, say spanks. Do you think he wears spanks?

Do you think he's toothy? Do you think he ever gets a girl if he's not a race car? Oh, no. What do you think his pickup line is? Hi, I have a lot of money. I'm Kyle Bush. Hey.

Hey. I like M&M. Hey. Yeah. Melt's in your mouth, not in your hands. Spot off, though, to Kyle for saying that. Let the kid do and make his own decisions. Here's the thing, man.

This guy, William Byron, we just talked about him. Kid. He's coming to JRM. We're going to be the best Xfinity team in this sport next year. We have four full-time interest. with four full-time exfinity drivers. That's badass. It just so happens.

JRM pipelines you to Hendrik. Who is the best cup team to ever live in NASCAR? Hendrick Meyer Sports. We've got it all, man. We got the grandpa. Kyle Busch's butt still hurt. Kyle Busch had a contract with Rick Hendrick. Rick Hendrick fired.

Did you say he was butt hurt? Kyle Busch. He's butt hurt. Kyle Busch was fired because he was an asshole with Hendrick. He had years left on his contract. And Rick Hendrick said, you're fired. And he said, no, I'm not. I have a contract and he said, you're still fired.

You're not driving here anymore. So that's when he left and went to Gibbs. So that's why he's mad. Get over it. Build a bridge. Get over it. Let's take a good. At one main financial, we believe in the importance of community.

That means partnering with our neighbors to reach common goals, lending a hand when it matters most, and commitment to our neighborhoods. Community isn't just where you are. It's where you make a difference. One main financial, not just. in the neighborhood, but part of your community. Providing personal loan solutions and one-on-one local service. One main financial.

Your needs, your goals, your dreams. Offer subject to restrictions and requirements of the licensee. For licensing information, visit our website or call us. Short break. All right. Welcome back. Let's go into Fast Lane. So I'm going to give TJ and Brett a topic to debate, and we're going to alternate who responds first. You guys get 30 seconds.

You got it? Yeah. All right. Jimmy Johnson becomes only the third driver ever to win seven cup titles. Do you think Jimmy can set the new record at eight cup titles before he retires? Josh, he just won seven. Are we already talking about eight? That's probably what Jimmy's saying. Was he? Awesome. So I actually think he can be the first guy to ever win eight. I think he's got to do it in the next two years, though. Why? Just because of age and technology and desire and at the end of the day, somebody's going to be knocking on that door to fill that seat, you know. Jeff Gordon may or may not

been ready to go, but guess who was ready to come in? Chase Elliott. William Byron's coming in at some point in the next couple of years. Like if he's going to do it, he's got to do the next two years, but yes, I think he can get eight. Yeah, I don't, uh, I don't see how we start next year and him not start being the favorite, you know, in the beginning of the year. Just judging how we saw the 17 package look with the other, with the competition and, and Jimmy's ability to drive these cup cars. He's, he's the best Sprint Cup series driver in NASCAR history. He's won in all different formats in all different cars

and boom he's one again like he's the man Greg Biffle has left Roush Fenway is this the last full season we will see the Biff in a cup ride T.J. You know the doors are closing

and if he doesn't get his foot into a door I'm not sure we're going to see Greg Biffle into a cup car again a competitive one you know I don't think the JTG deal has been rumored but I've heard they've got another guy already in that seat so I don't know where he's going to go possibly the 44 if they run yeah

I mean you certainly hope that he has an opportunity to do it I don't I don't foresee him as of right now having a full-time cup deal next year in a competitive situation Chris Busher is now getting the Kroger deal and that's going to be the JTG second car man I hope something works out for Biffle but I don't I don't feel like he's he's he's older you know he's 47 years old 19 years around 47 years old so I I certainly hope he does something. I think he's a... He drives it in the corner until he sees Jesus. This guy is not scared.

Yeah, or Elvis, one of the other. Biffel's a wheelman. I mean, you put Greg in some good stuff. I mean, he is a good driver. He's got his tracks. He's got three or four tracks that he's super competitive at. So, you know, you certainly want to see a guy like that be around. But, you know, if you look back on his career, he's got some pretty good stats.

Yeah. In the final three laps of the Xfinity race, Saturday night, the 14 car chose to stay out and took the preferred line on the restart. Is this the dumbest call by a crew chief all year? Brett, I'd love to hear what you have to say. This is the dumbest call by a crew chief all year. It's the dumbest call by a driver to obey the crew chief's call. And then it's the dumbest call by a spotter to actually help the guy get and take the top lane.

Get the fuck out of the way. And the only way you're going to do that, if you're going to be dumb enough to stay out, is to pick the inside lane and when you take the green move over. Yeah, we were a casualty of that. that. And the rumor is the guy, the crew she said, we're out of tires. I don't care if you're out of tires or not. You come down pit road and you get the hell out of the damn way.

You don't want to be in that, you don't want to put your car in that situation. That's bad, that's bad publicity, bad area. You're not just trying to win the race. You're effing up the race. Yeah. The crew chief has a nickname in his real life. This is not made up. This is, I swear to God, a true story.

His nickname is Big Dummy. What? Yes. Is it really? His nickname is Big Dummy. Yes. Yeah. I mean, he looks like...

He lived right up to it. Good job. Yeah, he looks like a big dummy. Can I just say that we also, on his own accord, one of our interiors guy went down there to try and talk to him and was slamming the thing. And crew chief, big dummy, wouldn't even look at our guy, Eric, just to have a conversation or just say, I hear you man or whatever. Go F yourself. Like, it wouldn't even make eye contact. Come on.

Stop being such a p. So I really thought would want to go... Sorry. I really thought with one to go... that he would pit. That's what we all thought. And when he didn't pit, I go running down to a spotter who's got named David Keith. And I'm like, David, man, you got to take the bottom right here.

We're taking the top. That way we can stay out of the way. You're in the way if you take the top. Not worth taking the top. Are you serious? Yeah. So we've had one dumb decision, one second, two dumb decisions, and now we've got three dumb decisions.

And then Cole has the audacity to the media afterwards because Josh and I were with Elia and his mom doing media. And Cole says that he was trying to get out of the way and give as much space as possible. Then go and get out of the way. I'm sorry. That didn't happen. Yeah, that's why you have come to pit road and come into the white for the, you know, one to go. You go ahead and come on down pit road.

That'll get you out of the way for sure. Yeah. I think that was my rant. You don't, that's actually pretty dumb to say because you don't come to the green and get out of the way with old tires. No, ever. You don't. And let me tell you this. Even if he says that excuse, it's complete bullshit.

Because, number one, if you're going to do that, you roll up to the restart box and you dig in the beginning of it. And, I mean, you take off right at the beginning of it. You're actually rolling a little faster. then you kind of pick up speed as you get to it and you take off. He slowed down. He never went. I never went. And it looked like to me, like he even checked up a tiny bit when he got there.

To try to jam everybody up, in my eyes, he was trying to get you black flagged. Yeah. And cause a big wreck behind him. Right. Which is ridiculous. Yeah. Get your ass out of the damn way. I can honestly say industry-wide, the crew chief and the driver lost a lot of respect.

Yeah. Within the industry. And I have to say he's lucky he had three classy drivers. who lost the championship, didn't win the championship who were just, weren't going to beat his ass for it, and just said they had no words to explain how they felt about how. That guy ruined. We've been racing for this since February.

Yeah. And Justin drove his ass off that entire race. The best race he's driven all year. And we, you know, we didn't have the fastest car five laps in, you know, the first five laps of run, but he would stick with, he would pressure Daniel. And then we were faster than him. And a couple, you know, the one other time, you know, we got around. we got around Daniel and we catch this 25-lap car.

It was badass driving. I actually think it might have closed my eyes for a second because I thought we were all going to wreck right there. I drew up. Yeah. You know what? I felt really bad because I went down there and cussed that guy really bad. Like, I felt bad afterwards.

But, you know, he told me he's like, you know, hey, we've been running the top all night. You know, we're just staying up there out of the way. Well, we're all running the top. If you go to the bottom, you're completely out of the way and we're not even going to be a factor. you need to know leaders are coming running the top. That means get off the top.

It's a preferred line. It's a gentleman's agreement to move. Have you ever had that much pushback from a spotter when you've asked them for, I don't know, not help, but you're just like, dude, work with me here. Well, this is what we mean when we talk about this stuff. Well, there's a lot of good spotters, but then there's a lot of spotters.

And they don't, if you don't have any influence on what the driver or team does, and you shouldn't be up there. You know, maybe I'm not saying David made the call on that deal, but he could be like, hey, this is stupid. This is dumb. We're going to end up 20th. I would have said that. This is stupid.

Yeah. If you're doing it, take the bottom, pull down the minute they throw the green. But he doesn't have the authority to make him do that. You know, he doesn't have the authority to do that. But the driver can look at it, and he knows how bad he's going to spin his tires in that restart. He knows all this stuff. He can sit there and say, you know what, I'm going to be 20th by the end of the first lap. Why not just come?

down pit road and start about there and finish there anyway instead of ruining this whole race. And he did. So to me it's a respect thing. Yeah. I mean, you ruined our shot at champion. We've been racing for this since February. Yeah. What are you racing for?

Don't tell me you're racing for a job because that made me nothing but do but not want to hire you. Right. Well, that's what I'm saying industry-wide. Those guys are, they lost a lot of respect. That made me never want to hire that crew chief guy or that driver to do that. Yeah. So, I agree. Who are the biggest winners and losers in 20?

2016. T.J. Loser, Colwood. Just kidding. His crew chief could probably be on the biggest loser. Why is that always fat jokes? I'm just saying he looks like a big dude because he's a little weight loss. Biggest loser.

They don't have to be a loser. Maybe they just like had a shit season. All the Dell Junior fans. Oh. They were losers. Yeah, man. I mean, we had a. We all, yeah.

Yeah, it was a sad deal. But, you know, I'm glad they were all there stuck through it, and everyone's kind of getting excited for next year now. I think it's going to be cool building up to the Daytona 500 and stuff. And, you know, him supposedly coming back should be pretty interesting and fun. I think the biggest winners are William Byron and Jimmy Johnson, period. I think Chase Elliott's right there on that same line because the guy had a hell of a year. I think the biggest losers are 100% Dale Jr.

second Casey Cain because I thought he'd have a stellar season third Clint Boyer I mean I that you know being just very candid about it yeah you know I think um true X too because he showed so much promise and speed the first half of the year the last month we've after Talladega not issue even kind of before that the fading started but um you know he he you had him picked as your champion for sure so none of us picked Jimmy boy we're smart aren't we yeah professionals Yeah. Inside tips right here if you guys won't help. Josh had Busher. Yeah.

The off-the-wall topic, Monday night football is live from Mexico City tonight. In your opinion, do these international games help grow the NFL, or do you think it just irritates fans that they're not in the U.S.? I've been to Mexico City for a sporting event. I went for the inaugural Xfinity race down there, and it is a joke at how dangerous it is. We were told point blank, do not leave your hotel without security. Do not go anywhere by yourself.

only leave your room and get on the bus and go to the track and come back to your hotel. They send you with armed guards. I remember they sent our NASCAR people. It's just a complete shame that these players are being put in this situation. The number one kidnapping rate in the world, the year we went, was in Mexico City. They kidnap you and hold you for ransom. Did you have security? Very dangerous place to go.

We did have security, yes. Sorry. I don't think, you know, there's certain locations. I don't think we're hitting, you know, London seems to be pretty popular over there. there. When they show the crowd there, there's so many fans with different uniforms on in jerseys, and they seem to love it over there. But, you know, I don't know. We'll see how this turns out. And right now, I don't, it just doesn't interest me tonight. It's just something about it just doesn't interest me. I just don't think we need to be in Mexico. I just don't think we need

in Mexico City. I'm going to tell you a quick story. Okay. Richard Childress Racing went down to test. They were told, don't leave the hotel. You tell four grown men don't leave the hotel. What are they going to do? Leave the hotel. They go. So they go to a bar. They have a round of drinks. They have a second round of drinks. The bartender looks at them and says,

we need to pay you guys. You guys need to cash out. They're like, okay, he hands them the check. Guess how much the check was for? $5,000. So they knew they're American. Guess what they said. We only had two rounds.

Guess what he said. Fine, I'll call the cops. So they got out their credit cards. They split it between four of them, paid $1,250 a piece, and left. Went back to the hotel, told the people what happened. They called the U.S. Embassy. You know what the U.S. Embassy said?

You better be glad you paid them. That's why we don't need to be a Mexico City playing football. That's ridiculous. That's sobering. That's why I made easy mac and cheese in my coffee maker. Yeah. And didn't drink the water. It's true.

I brought bottle water from the racetrack and the truck. Yeah. That's terrifying. Harbett got sick as hell. Like you literally can't drink the drinks out of the cooler because it's their ice. Yeah. If you get that back for it. shower, you don't accidentally open your mouth in the shower.

No, you don't. I mean, you're not in there going, ah, ah, no, but like, accident, like, even a little bit of, we took backpacks. We took backpacks of water and literally brushed our teeth in it the whole deal. It's for me, it's, come on, really? Like, why are we there if that's a situation? I mean, London, I get, because there's a lot of expats that live there, right? There's a lot of U.S. citizens.

I think it's, I don't know. We don't need to be in Mexico City. There's too many bads to go with the bad outweighs the good. I don't understand how they're... I probably shouldn't say that. You'd probably take that up. All right, we're going into hashtag ASDBC. So producer Josh, Amish Josh, has chosen a few ASDBC questions

to ask the guys here from either Twitter or our Facebook page. At Sheath 88 asks, guys, what plans do you all have for the off season? Kristen, why don't you tell everyone what offseason really means? Offseason means I get to take Thanksgiving off and then I come back and I have about 17 days of production and that means getting ready. Scripps, Firesuits, paint schemes. I'd like to say one of my sponsors,

I'm on round 25 for a paint scheme for next year. Fire suits, crew shirts, scripts, approvals, Dale Jr. approvals. It's a hustle. Travel schedules, everything. So I would like to say in, I'd like to say thank you for your well wishes for my offseason, but they will be at the office.

traveling to see my sponsors. Basically, it means no travel season for those of us who actually work in the industry. I don't have a suitcase, but I will be working. The drivers are off unless they have a production day, which is literally a six to eight hour day. They'll do a few between now and January. But TJ's off. Yeah, I plan on a few manicures, pedicures, stuff like that, shoe shows.

Yeah, I'll go with you there. Can we have, you guys want production to a shoe show? Yeah. Yeah, we have a lunch meeting at a shoe show. It's, we call a lunch with a view. Wonderful. People tweet me all the time about shoe shows since we said that. I've seen the pictures, shoe show.

Yeah. Yeah. That's awesome. You know, it's, I'm a pretty busy. Honestly, I always think the older I get and the more, the more years I get to this, the busier the offseason gets. I don't know how. like 10 years ago I used to race eye racing for two months straight and do nothing but

but you take on more responsibility more people trust you you have more invested in things yeah i mean i'm i'm playing i'm gonna sell about i'm gonna try to sell all the rest of my t-shirts and people forget that brett he may be a spotter but he also basically runs an entire marketing and management company in elliott's career so when we have production days brett's right there doing approvals with me sending things through talking to executives i mean calling you at 8 o'clock in the morning. I basically, I have a couple trips planned in December, and then you got the holidays. I will say Kelly and Dale this year did shut the whole, we didn't have to take any vacation.

The week of Christmas, they shut the shop down. You don't have to take PTO. Awesome. Go have fun, even though we'll still be working because we need to get things. Yeah. Even January, I've only got like a couple weeks off in January. I've got, I'm doing the 24-hour stuff at Daytona, testing and the race, so that'll take up a little bit of that. So, I mean, you're still staying pretty busy.

You all, I mean, I don't feel like there's enough off weekends and during the season. It flies by. It will be in Daytona like that. I cannot believe this is Thanksgiving week. I know. I am actually. It's just the best week of the year. I'm glad they got rid of testing at Daytona.

That was probably the best thing. This was Rivals Week in college football. It doesn't get any better. Carolina's going to be. Clemsley. Your Cowboys play the Redskins Thursday night. I'm not talking about NFL. Is it?

Rivals week is college. College is way better than NFL. But it's all kind of weak now. No, it's not. We play West Virginia. It's awesome. Actually, no, we don't. We play Syracuse.

By the way, this is really off topic real quick. Did you see that hit that Clemson guy gave to that quarterback? Uh-uh. Running to the end zone. Do you see that? Oh, my gosh. Saturday? Who were they playing?

Ah, man. They were playing a wimpy team. Yeah. Wake Forest. Let's just say that guy went for the end zone, and no. It wasn't happening. We're 25-point underdog, but we're coming. We're going to win.

Go Cox. At Cornelius V-Star asks, if you were either 19 or 22, what would you have done on the restart? If I was a 19, I would have got a better restart. I'll tell you what, and this isn't the guy's question, but I want everybody, if you have an opportunity, go back and look at the 2219 restart. The 19 blocks, blocks, blocks, and the 22 finally says, I'm done going left. I'm wrecking you, which happens. the next restart when the 22 is behind the 48,

the 22 has a huge run on Jimmy and he doesn't pull down. He hits him in the ass and he sends, he launches Jimmy into one. Jimmy went and took the lead and he took the lead because of what the 22 did. I don't think the 22 made an error with the 19 car. I think the 19 made an error. But the 22 made a huge error the next time because he was scared to do it again and he helped Jimmy beat him.

But if I were the 19 or 22, have done exactly what the 22 did. Yeah, apparently Joey's good at time in his runs. Yeah. So. At B underscore Verba asked, can you give me the three series championship favorites and dark horses for 2017? It's offseason Verba. We're trying to enjoy being off.

We need a nap. I mean, how do you bet against crafting and solder again? Those solder's fast, man. Yeah, and they just not have put together a whole year. It's hard to bet it. It's hard to go against them guys. You know, we have a, you know, you're going to have some young guys coming in, but it's going to be hard.

Those guys are veterans. They're not rookies. They've been racing for years and years and years, and they know how to finish races. Yeah. I think your final four in Xfinity are Eric Jones, Elliot Sadler, Justin Algar, William Byron next year. So that's what I'd have in that series. And then the cup piece, I mean, you could pick a dark horse favorite.

Well, wait a minute. Clint Boyer because he's in the 14. Xfinity? can't be Eric. I didn't say Eric Jones. I thought you did. I said Daniel Suarez. No, you said Eric Zadler.

Justin Algar. You said Eric. Well, you did. I might have. I meant Suarez. Yeah. Yeah. Eric Jones would be cup racing.

Would you like to hear something funny about this past weekend? Yes. We found out that you're pregnant. I'm just kidding. Negative. We started a rumor about that one time with a friend of ours. Oh, God, I hope it wasn't me. You just scared me.

We started telling everybody she was pregnant. It is now. And then people were literally going up to her. Sarah, I heard you're pregnant. Remember that? Yeah. Sarah. And then people would come up to me.

Man, did you hear Sarah's pregnant? I'm like, no. That was a Loudon. That was a Loudon. Yeah. I remember that. I think TJ started it. You guys are horrible.

I didn't start it, but I probably added to it. Perpetuated it. He helped spread it. I mean, that's like, they're going to find out you're pregnant pretty soon. I'm not freaking pregnant. Are you calling me fat? I'm going to punch you in the face. No.

What's her funny story? So we find out, like, Saturday morning that the victory flags, the checkered flags for the four drivers, UPS lost them. Oh. And they didn't have any. And so then they came back and they said, well, actually, we have two. We have Elliot's and we have Daniel Swarzes, but Justin's and Eric Joneses are missing. So we're going to have to use generic. Finally, five laps in, we find out that they actually, UPS at that moment just delivered.

Justin and Eric Jones's championship flag, but they would not have had flags to waive if they had won. That would have sucked. Yeah. I wouldn't have probably known the difference right away, but that would suck, though, because you know some people are counting on that. So when Elliot retook the lead, or he wasn't, yeah, he retook the lead at the very end,

NASCAR comes and stands behind you with a big-ass thing that they're like, well, it's kind of disguised, so it's not bad luck if we're here about ju-ju or whatever, but we'll hand you this when Elliott wins. And we're like, get back a little bit, please. Yeah. They're very nice, though, but they're just. PR problems. Yeah.

Oh, we're back here again. Sorry. At Scott Leeper, 1980s, since the season is over, any news or rumors going to drop by Daytona February, Regan Smith's future, the 13 car future, teammate to A.J.

Alman Dingalinger. I think we just said Dingling's who we think that teammate is. 13, we've been telling you guys all year, it's Ty Dillon. Reagan Smith. I think Regan will find something. He's working on some things,

but I haven't heard anything concrete. No, and I think it'll take a while to develop. But as, you know, now everything, everything's like, what do they call? Black Monday or whatever? Black Friday? No, today in the racing world. Yeah, I mean, that's the thing. You know, today's a really tough day.

I mean, race teams. A lot of your friends lose jobs today. A lot of people lose jobs today. But also there's people, there's also people making jobs, too. I mean, we have a fourth team now. And JTG is adding, you know, and, oh, by the way, you know, speaking of other teams, that 59 and 95. ringed good.

Since Todd Parrott got to the 95, they've run 10 positions better. They were in the teens. Yes. Like competitive in the teens. Yes. That was pretty impressive the other night. I want to. Since Todd's gotten there, man, Todd Parrott's an awesome crew chief.

So, I mean, I think Regan will get something. I think it'll be closer to Daytona. But you know as Daytona gets closer, some people are just like, you know what? We're putting a car together. We're going to Daytona, because honestly, when you go to the Daytona 500, you never know what can happen there. The big question is, does the 44 run, and if so, who gets that car? You know? Yeah, that's the big question, Mark, right now.

The big question, and Exfinity is, does Bubba Wallace have a full-time deal? Because right now he's got half, half a schedule. And they're talking about filling that other half out with Trevor and Ricky. He's the guy married. I mean, it just, it's a, it's a tough time. It is a very tough time. It's no fun, man. I promise you, Greg Biffle's, like, his gut.

are in knots today, you know, because he doesn't, that's the thing about this sport people don't realize. Like, Jeff Gordon chose to retire. Tony Stewart chose to retire. More often than not, this sport retires from you, and you're left standing there going, but I don't want to quit yet. And I don't care if you're a mechanic, a crew chief, a driver, a spotter. It quits you before you quit it almost every time. You agree with that?

Yeah, all the time. Happens way more than what people think. Yeah. At Travis the underscore 48 asks, what was your favorite? DBC's season one moment. What should we expect in season two? Kristen Mingle had to be my favorite. I don't know, man. The thought of you and Mike Harmon at the sandbar together was pretty awesome. That was a good moment too. It's hard to top that. Amish Josh was a good story. The point we were going to get him to just shave his mustache off and look

Amish. You know, there were some other good moments. Josh cut out a lot of good shit, so. There was some really horrible stuff. Yeah, rumor has it. There were some good ones. Yeah, there was a lot of rumors. We need a blooper reel. Is it still called a blooper reel if it's audio? Was that that one? It's only funny because it pisses him on. I mean, that entire reel would just be one big bleep.

Josh cuts all the good stuff out. If we make a joke on Josh, you don't hear it. Season two, we should ask Mike Davis if we're getting renewals. We are. We're the number two podcast in the podcast family. Yeah. It's going to be hard to top the Dale Jr. download because they get he gives true audio we're getting half as many as they get though so we got a

chance yeah well i downloads are half if you'd actually promote it on twitter some we could probably get to them well he only promotes it when he's on the show when he's not on the show he refuses to read all right i'll pick it up i need to sell i need to sell look daytona's coming too and i need to sell some t-shirts he's one way here he goes again it's all about him well i mean are you going to wear it and take pictures and stuff are you going to tweet a picture of you in it yes i will tweet a freaking picture of me in a door bumper clear shirt. We're on. All right.

For 9.95, you can have it. Yeah. Claren't. Plus tax. Yeah, you got to pay the shipping. So we just wanted to thank all the door bumper clear listeners for hanging out with us all a year. It's been awesome.

Yeah. All the interaction. That's the cool part, man, is when people, you know, tweet you after the show and they're like, oh my God, I can't believe you said this. I know. I'm like, oh, yeah. Oh, so we were doing media after Miami. We were trying to keep just fans.

people away from Elliott because he was doing NBC with Mike Massaro and they were just coming in and I end up being a bodyguard for a lot of it because Josh is doing his job and I'm just trying to keep people away so it can be good. Josh's job is a mannequin. There are some fans that they get really mad when you say can you please stay back, you know, you can be closer

after this and they were calling me some not so nice names but then this other guy from like three people deep goes we love door bumper clear and I was like I'm no longer angry. That's a lie. I'm still angry but you're nice. Yeah, that's cool. So that was cool. So Jamie McMurray told his spotter this weekend, Tyler Green. Tyler says door, quarter, bumper, clear, right?

So he's like, Tyler, every time you say that, it makes me think of that radio show that Brett does, and I start laughing inside the car. So it's cool that, I mean, we've reached millions of listeners. My favorite thing now that you say, it used to be, like, go get that asshole or get the out of here. It's now when you say, what is it some, you go quarterback, half back, something back, what's that whole sequence you do. Oh, that's when the run's coming.

Yeah. That's a car length. I'm talking about car lengths. It's one half quarter. It's funny to listen to. It's kind of soothing, actually. Is it? Yeah.

Damn, you go away to a quarter? Every once in a while, you'd be like, go get that old funny. It's so funny. Or when finally, Elliot, we had been running in the back and he comes up to fourth,

and he goes, welcome with the mother-buck party. Everyone just looked at, like, everyone. Danny Jr., Truner Brad, everyone was just laughing. I'm not going to lie.

Even Bobby was laughing. I felt like, you sent me to the dance alone there for a while. Dude, I was, I was up there watching you dancing. Those seven boys. I was up there watching you dance and I was like, man, I want to dance. But I'm 10th. I can't dance back here.

Yeah, I mean, I was out there on the dance floor just dancing and I was not comfortable, man. I needed some help. I was watching you, man. You had some good moves. We got up to fourth and then Elliot smoked the wall off too. Yeah. And we left the fucking party and went back to seven. We hit it a couple times and Justin, he didn't turn one.

He comes on there and he's like, yep, yep. I'm definitely not going to win championship, doing that right there. Yeah. I mean, I was really not very, not nervous or anything. I was actually having kind of, I was having a lot of fun. Yeah. The car was fast.

Justin was driving his ass off. And he was doing things that were really. Kyle Larson-esque. Yeah, well, he was doing things to me. Like, he was showing guys like, dude, I'm not, you're not, I'm not taking the shit. You're getting hit right here. So Larson did a slide job on us, and we were. him out of our fast for them, Justin

that never lifted. And we plowed the back of them. I mean, it was hard. I think that sent a message to Larson for the rest of the race. Justin wasn't backing down. Yeah, look, I'm not, look, I know you're fast, but don't do this, but I'm not going to put up with it. You're going to get out of the dang way.

You know, you're going to pass me and not bugger me here, and you're going to go on. But, you know, but Justin, he did everything he could do, and I really would have liked to shot at that last restart. Yeah. You guys had a rocket ship. It was fun to watch.

It's intense. You literally get in that moment and you say, okay, I got to forget what's on the line. Because if you start thinking about it, I can't imagine how you guys were I was going to say. In the long run, I feel like, I know everyone's like, oh, Daniel had the best car.

In the long run, I feel like we were the best car. Honestly, a lot of us were saying that that the seven car was the strongest. And we just needed to get in front of Daniel, and Daniel drove the best race that I've seen him drive. We got to him, pressured him. been the type of guy that if you get close to, he was against the fence on that 15.

And that's way too early to be doing that. Yeah. So, you know, Dan, but he drove good, man. That was the best race, and he put it together. I have to say, too, he's a really nice guy. He's a really nice kid. We got to know him because he was one and two with us all year, so all the media events that we were going around to, and he's always next to our hall. The one main hauler.

He is an incredibly nice and gracious kid. That's cool. Yep. Very cool. Yeah. Yeah. Well, thanks for this year, guys. and you can look for us in February.

Yes, thanks for downloading. Thanks for listening. Thanks for tweeting. Tweeting, everything. Yeah, it's been awesome. I've had fun with this. I really didn't, you know, Mike Davis came to me and he's like, hey, I want to do a podcast. I remember that first meeting us in the conference room.

He said, I want one main to sponsor. I'm like, awesome, man, that's cool. That'll be good for them guys. He said, I want you to do it. And I'm like, are you sure you want me to do it? Mike's like, we need two controversial figures in spotting. And then he's like, I want TJ to do it. I'm like, oh, this sounds fun.

And then TJ and I walk in here and I'm like, man, we need a hot chicken here. This deal is going to suck it. I got to look at you for 40 weeks. Yeah, we got, we had Natalie and then decided she wasn't hot enough. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. She's going to kick your ass.

That was Brett. They're the same height. They are the same. Natalie might actually be a little taller. I don't think she is. She got a better ass. Speaking of that, when this is over, when this is, how do you know? You're looking at me?

You got to check your ass out. When this show is over, I have to tell you a little something. All right. Well, that too. Oh, actually, we don't need to bring that up. A spotter who I will not call out, he spots for the 11 car. He came up to me. He came up to me before the race, and he goes, man, who's that hot, dark-headed girl on your pit box?

I said, it's half her head shaved. He's like, I don't know. I was like, well, let me bring up a picture of Kristen because I think you're probably talking about Kristen. I pulled it up and he's like, oh yeah, that's her. Man, she's hot. I said, yeah, she's ours. Let me try and steal our podcast girl.

That's ridiculous. I said she's all tatted up. She wears real tight clothes. They're functional. Yeah, functional. Oh, she? She wears spanks. Girdles.

Gurdles and Miracle bras. Indy in July. Yeah, girdles and miracle bras. Hell, any woman can look good. I mean, I think Krista Mingo works, didn't it? Yeah. Pimped you right out?

The best part, I think, is you actually try to register that. I didn't try to register it. I did some initial research. You were going to, but it was... You weren't Googling it to just see... I wanted it so J.R.M would buy it and it would go straight to the J.R.M. website. Yeah.

Strategy. Yeah. Yeah, okay. All right, y'all, thanks for tuning in, and we'll see you in February. Thanks to one main and exalta. Appreciate you guys. Peace, holla. Thank you.
