Starting point is 00:00:53 So download the free Anchor app or go to anchor.fm to get started. That's A-N-C-H-O-R dot FM to get started. This is Dale Jr., and you're listening to Dirty Mo Radio. Outside, door, bumper, clear of the 18th. Best car I've had here in a long time. You're going to do it. You're going to win it. Right with you.
Starting point is 00:01:17 You're clear. Check the flag. You're win. Oh, yeah! Hey, everybody. I'm T.J. Major, spotted the 88 cup car, 7-exfidity car, and the 29 truck. And Brett Griffin is here, spotter for Clint Boyer, Elliot Sadler, Mayatt Snyder, soon to be one more guy in this.
Starting point is 00:01:41 the trucks that I can't tell you about and go Gamecocks. Hey guys, it's KB. And everything Brett is wearing says Gamecox on it. You damn right it does. Including his high socks. If I'd had a pair of maroon garnet cackies, I'd have them on too. But I had to. Isn't cacky a color?
Starting point is 00:01:58 Cacky's a color? Yeah. Cackie's a brown. Everything else is garnet. I'm stoked. Final four. Wouldn't I called it. It's a big deal.
Starting point is 00:02:07 And UNC beat my winner, Kentucky. I'm out. Yeah, you're done. done. We could have an all-carolina final. Did you pick USC to go all the way? I did not. I picked them to beat Marquette the first round. And that's it? Yes. Some fan you are. Well, I thought Duke would probably beat us, but we beat them by a lot. Thank you. We blew out. We blew out a bunch of teams to get here. Like, it's not like we're barely winning. We're doing it. You're kicking some ass. We are. I don't like USC, but good for you. That's what? We are broken out. We're no longer friends.
Starting point is 00:02:38 I will say this was good about the tournament, though. Last year, Syracuse, my team, wasn't even really supposed to be in it almost, and then they go to the Final Four. So it's always good to see teams like that make it and come out of nowhere, because I'm pretty sure No one probably really picked South Carolina to go to the Final Four. And it first time for South Carolina since like 1947 or something? It's the first time in 44 years we have won a tournament game.
Starting point is 00:03:06 So obviously we've won games. And you've never been to the final four. I don't think so. I don't think so. No, I don't. Yeah, we were really good with Alex English when I was like minus 12. But now that I'm 40, we're back to again. That was a long time ago.
Starting point is 00:03:20 Stoked. If we win Saturday night, my fat ass will be in Phoenix, Arizona Monday. Some way, somehow. Ellie's got me a ticket. I just got to get there. How to get a ticket? He's nice people. He's rich.
Starting point is 00:03:32 Rich guys get shit. Y'all know that. God Almighty. Yeah, they don't strut. struggle. Elliot's brother Hermie in all seriousness went to North Carolina and his family have been donors for the school for a long time and they had courtside, four side seats forever. Like I've been able to go to the North Carolina to do game and hang out with those guys. Yeah, he gave me the UNC Pitt tickets. I heard. Yeah, I heard. Somebody was jealous about that
Starting point is 00:03:57 actually. Oh really? Yeah, Aaron. She's like, hey, how does Kristen get these tickets and I never get it? And I kind of worked for Elliott. I'm like, I don't know, maybe you should ask Kristen to go with her. I'm nice I'm nice nice nice Montana California man how about that scoreboard
Starting point is 00:04:15 in turn one where they tell the guys how fast they're going I love that about that place 208 yeah god almighty 208
Starting point is 00:04:22 I mean honestly that's not too bad I mean at least there's a bank at least there's banking the driving to there I mean the indie when you go by there and they're doing I forget what they're doing it's close
Starting point is 00:04:31 yeah but there's no scoreboard to tell everybody yeah I mean you just have to note it's just a number just wait next year Cups going to have restrictor plates. You know, every track has a manufacturer that they're aligned with.
Starting point is 00:04:43 And at Fontana, it's obviously Toyota. So Toyota's got this big sign in turn one. These other manufacturers have got to take note of that and that their tracks. Chevrolet, I think they're at Charlotte or whatever. You got to take note to that and do something about that because that's a cool thing. You know, we got some of these people on TV saying we can't sell speed,
Starting point is 00:05:02 which is why they show these zoomed-in shots that I've been fussing about. Zoom out and show how fast our cars are going. I think it's cooler. you can sell speed because the drivers even get pumped up seeing how fast they're going. I guess you know if it's a good lap or not. Yeah. Yeah. Can you imagine like you're coming and you see the guy in front of you speed pop up and it's like 206 and yours says like 189?
Starting point is 00:05:22 Yeah. What do you think Derek Cope said 160? You're like, damn, I suck. Yeah. I bet Derek Cope said that numerous times. Kristen, I have a surprise for you since I was out last week. What's in the backpack? I have a special bottle.
Starting point is 00:05:37 Oh, shit. You want a bet. I forgot about this. You want to bet. Did someone sign the tequila? As part of our bet, we have to take a shot of tequila. Yeah, this is a Delion platinum bottle of tequila. Brian Patty gave me this.
Starting point is 00:05:53 He brought shot glasses. Yeah. And a pair of boots that are lined with fur. Look what my shot glass is. Well, I just left my tana. So those boots were. You know, put these boots on with that outfit. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:06 So we got to take a shot of. You have the most... T.J. I would have brought you on, but I know you're a... Yeah, I'm not doing the shot of tequila. Yeah. What does my shot glass say? It's that... Remember on Finding Nemo or whatever?
Starting point is 00:06:19 Really? You don't know what those are? My might, mine, mine, mine. The penguins. No, I can see them. The birds. Yeah. Mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine. And then when you go to the park, there's a little setup thing there, wouldn't they?
Starting point is 00:06:29 Do you think this is going to help the panic attack that I had earlier? Absolutely. Let's see, this is fate. This is me. Now you're going to pull for the Gamecox, because you don't need a Xanax when Brett brings tequila. If I gag on this, I apologize because it is 10 in the morning. And I'm not hot.
Starting point is 00:06:45 And I'm not tailgating. And it's hot. But you're hot. I'm kind of nervous. I haven't done a shot of tequila. But you told me you could do tequila. So here's two Catholics not being Protestants and me being educated thanks to our fan base. Cheers.
Starting point is 00:07:02 Somebody puked, please. Oh. Oh. You need some water? That's a good chaser. It kind of burns. You probably got her on. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:07:21 Okay, this show is taking a turn. Oh, you probably got hair on your chest. Oh, God. Yeah. Oh, sweaty. Quit grabbing your boots. That guy out there watching is going to think this is some other kind of show. Hoo.
Starting point is 00:07:36 Halla. Cheers. That was good. Thanks for that. I'm not sure if you won or lost that bet. What a great show we have. I'm sorry to be back. Smooth.
Starting point is 00:07:48 Man. TJ, you want one? No, I am good. Y'all, y'all's do another one. I feel a little warm. Do another one. We'll do one at the end. Do a couple more.
Starting point is 00:07:58 Can't do a couple more. We'll die. Anyway, so we're in the Exaltzata studio today. I'm bringing you this awesome show. Thanks to One Main Financial for sponsoring for bumper clear. So we're going to go into spot-on, spot-off. Yeah. Already?
Starting point is 00:08:14 What? Is there something else you wanted to talk about? No, I'm good. You good? All right. Ready? Yeah, let's go. Kurt Bush, Daytona 500 trophy tour.
Starting point is 00:08:22 Spot-on, spot-off. That ain't my trophy. Do what you want with it. I'm spot off, and here's why, because, like, the relevance of the Daytona 500 diminishes as the week goes on. This is why I'm all for us. running the Daytona 500 and then having a week off for him to do exactly this because he could have done a 10-day 10-city tour and like it been really phenomenal.
Starting point is 00:08:46 And I think he's doing a great job with what he's doing. I know he's doing it for personal reasons. And I think it's great that he's doing it, but I think that the relevance of it could be more celebrated if we didn't just dive into the next race, like Atlanta, Vegas, blah, blah, like you're wearing the grind now. You don't get to celebrate it three days. So what exactly did he do? He took the trophy.
Starting point is 00:09:06 He's taking it everywhere, dude. Hey, we went to spring training out in Phoenix. I get why they're doing it, but it's just like a white girl's birthday where she gets the whole month to celebrate. Yeah. You kind of get that window. Yeah. I agree with you.
Starting point is 00:09:18 It's irrelevant at this point. Yeah. Congrats to him, but come on. Yeah. Yeah, I think after. The rest of us have lives, too. When you go to the next race, it's pretty much over with. Like, you got another chance to win another trophy,
Starting point is 00:09:29 and that's the main objective that weekend. The main objective is not to show everyone your old trophy. So, I would, you know, I'm all for up until, the next race. And that's only three days, which is why I say, let's take a little time off. Yeah. Because we got three winners. We got the truck winner, the Exfinity winner, the Cup winner. You could send them all three of them out on a media tour. That would be badass. I think 10 days might be a little long. Nobody would like to win it then. It's a Daytona 500. Yeah. Still going on. How long is he going to do it?
Starting point is 00:09:56 I guess all year. I don't know. What? I don't know. He's taking it everywhere. He was on a beach in L.A. I mean, I guess the Stanley Cup goes a lot of places as well. That's the championship. I get it. I get it. It's like the Super Bowl. That's our Super Bowl.
Starting point is 00:10:13 Yeah. How long have you worked at NASCAR? Too long. You know, you think about it, there's no other sport that you have that has a game as big as the championship could be. Yeah. So he's calling me. I'm sorry I got to meet my phone. That's loud.
Starting point is 00:10:27 It's gamecocks. They won't stop calling. All right. Spot on, spot off. track service at Fontana. Spot on for me. It's got different multiple lanes, seems to mess people up,
Starting point is 00:10:39 and, you know, it's good. We're out, tires wear. Spot on for sure. This place in Atlanta, or hands down the best two surfaces we have to race on. Old asphalt means these guys are searching for grip. As TJ said, we were five and six wide on restarts all weekend.
Starting point is 00:10:57 Insane spotting. I mean, after the first start, started the race yesterday. Clint was like, holy hell, what was that? That was crazy. You finished third. Third. Congratulations. Thank you. That fast car. Had a good piece of Atlanta. Good piece there.
Starting point is 00:11:11 I'm still waiting to see TJ. Hadn't seen him in a cup race yet this year. I haven't seen us as we got taken out leading the 500. That's right. No, I hadn't seen you. Yeah. So you're, so this. So this third place is like a win for you.
Starting point is 00:11:26 No, but it is certainly a third place. It's commendable. Well, eighth and points, third place. Last year, you couldn't qualify within a second and a half of the pole. Yeah, that's what it's been like for you this year. Yeah. Have you finished top 12, 15 yet? Where did you finish yesterday?
Starting point is 00:11:40 16th. Oh, you almost made it. I don't know. I really don't even know. How do you not know? You're the spotter. Can't count that high. Well, when you're in the hornet nest back there and you go across the line, you don't really know at that point.
Starting point is 00:11:51 You just go to the airport. You do. Yeah. You go to the airport. Hendrick was in our, in the one pit stall all a lot all weekend. I'm looking at the tires. every time the tires came off there were at least, there was lobes and then, like, three other people. Well, we obviously had a tire problem in qualifying.
Starting point is 00:12:07 We cut one by accident, like, I don't, by accident. Like, I don't know, but, you know, I don't know if there's something maybe, I don't know if we could talk about this later or ran or something about it, but if you have a problem in qualifying, you have a run over something on your way in, and you have to change a tire, you have to go to the back, but you're only allowed to change that tire. Right. So we basically started in the back next to Jimmy Johnson, who started around four tires, never even qualified.
Starting point is 00:12:37 So, I mean, we made an attempt. We're doing our deal like everybody wants, and we're kind of penalized back there. So I'm maybe thinking they need to do something like, if you want to start on stickers, you can start on stickers, but it's coming out of your race sets. Yeah. Jimmy Johnson, you lose your race set. Chad Canales kind of snookered the field on this deal because he was in a situation where he was in a backup car. because Jimmy wrecked in practice. No laps on it.
Starting point is 00:13:01 So instead of qualifying, he says, I'm not qualifying. So what does he get to do for the race? He gets to start on sticker tires, which at a place like Texas won't be a big deal. At a place like Fontana, huge advantage. The guy's driving from last, he's probably run a 15th when he gets in that first wreck. But a huge advantage. He was definitely made up a lot of ground already. I mean, it was good.
Starting point is 00:13:25 like definitely a wise decision. If the rule is you're starting on your qualifying tires, which is what the Cup Series is doing this year, then he should have been required not necessarily to qualify if he doesn't have to. But in practice, he should have been required to go out and roll in his set of tires for two or three laps so that he doesn't have that advantage
Starting point is 00:13:44 to start the race. That was miscalculated by NASCAR. They had no idea a guy would come up with something like this, leave it to check and ask outsmart the system. Or start on one of your practice sets. Yeah, something like that, Well, you're not having a huge advantage. You got to do something to them.
Starting point is 00:13:57 Yeah. Spot on, spot off. Clint Boyer with the top three finish. Spot on. Say it, TJ. Say it. Like I said. I mean, we're going to celebrate top threes now?
Starting point is 00:14:06 Yes. We are. We get performance bonuses on them. Yep. For Clint? I actually got a new, I actually got a company car last night out of that deal. What?
Starting point is 00:14:13 Brand new car. Bullshit. Got a shout out of it. We actually drank Jack Daniels on the way home last night. Clint was like, through the storm. We're going to have a. of lightning. We're going to have a celebratory drink. I'm like, what are we drinking?
Starting point is 00:14:27 He's like, Jack. I'm like, oh. Bless America. Was he stoked? Yeah, he's excited. Spot on, spot off. Junior Motorsports leads points one, two, and three in the NASCAR Spinney series. And eight. And I don't, and I don't see it changing. I don't either. I don't see a changing all year. Who's in fourth? Yeah. That's a good question. What? How can our statistics guy not know who's in fourth? When did I become a statistics? You are the producer? The PR department.
Starting point is 00:14:55 Yeah. Yeah. Well, we don't worry about this and fourth. Maybe it's in there. We're dominating the Xfinity series this year in the championship hunt, and we will continue to dominate, and one of us will win it. Hell yes. One of our four will win it. I guarantee damn to it.
Starting point is 00:15:10 I'm so excited. I bet you a shot of tequila. With that, we're going to take a quick break. One main financial is the largest consumer finance company in the United States, and it dates back over 100 years. TJ, I did not know that, but I did know that if you were in need of a loan and your finances have taken a turn, one main can help. So race down to the closest one main branch and get back on track. You know that with more than 1,700 locations, there is bound to be one near you. There's actually one really close to us where we're at right now.
Starting point is 00:15:44 So find your closest one main at 1Mainfinancial.com. Lending made personal. All right. So we're going to go into Fastlane, and I'm going to give T.J. and Brett a top. topic to debate. And they are going to alternate who responds first. You guys get 30 seconds unless you don't have a good answer. Oh, Josh, I ruined your show.
Starting point is 00:16:04 The first thing is the mile per hour thing. I'm sorry. Yeah, but there's a question with it. There is? Yeah. Oh, Ryan Reid is fourth. Ryan Reid. Oh, we got him covered.
Starting point is 00:16:17 Turn one at Auto Club sees speeds in excess of 205 miles per hour and sometimes five-wide racing. As a spotter, how do you keep your driver calm going into this term? I can't keep Clint calm anywhere because he's Clint Boyer and he's wild. Honestly, man, the thing for us is not to change the pitch of our voice. If we start changing the pitch of our voice while these guys are intense situations, it can easily change their mindset, make them nervous, make them think that we see something that they don't see.
Starting point is 00:16:46 So I think the key for us in all situations, regardless of what track we're at, is try to be consistent with our voice. I don't think they care what the speed is at that point in time. They're more, you know, even when you're racing, you're looking at other cars lines. You're probably not even seeing that, you know, guy leading might see it when he's going into the corner. But, you know, other than that, you're worried about watching the guy going to the corner front of you. If he goes a little bit too low, you're going to go above him. If he goes to, you know, if he goes high, you're going to laying lower than him.
Starting point is 00:17:14 So you're more focused on that stuff. So I don't really think keeping the driver calm is an issue there. I mean, you know, I think it just depends on the driver. If you've got a rookie and you're working with a guy that haven't been in that situation a lot, you know, you would probably be different. I've been working with Elliott for almost 20 years, Clint for five, so probably not a lot of things that I could do to probably honestly make him get, quote, upset. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:17:40 Larson swept the weekend in SoCal as well as leading the points. Is he the best driver right now in the Cup series? T.J. I don't know if he's the best driver, but he's definitely. Definitely got momentum on his side. He's got a lot going. They were fast last year, and when we ran these races with this package, they were fast. And it's showing this year.
Starting point is 00:17:59 And he would have been two in a row that he got through turn one at Phoenix on that last restart. This would have been his second win in a row. So he's got momentum, and his positive attitude, he's rolling. Is that three seconds in a first in a row? Yeah, he's the best driver right now. I mean, over the last four weeks, over the last month, he's the hottest guy. around this time last year, you know, I said he was the show. He's right back in that same spot.
Starting point is 00:18:24 Super fast. The fact that he's got a win early takes a lot of weight off his shoulders. The question is, can he do it and do it for a long time and still go run all those sprint car races? Yeah, I think he's running a sprint car race Wednesday this week. So what I want to know is whenever adversity does strike how they handle it and how they get back out of it. You know, how do you get back in there in the pack and end up 15, 16th one race? and go to the next race, you know, and something, you know,
Starting point is 00:18:52 just how it bounces back from that, because it's going to happen. You can't finish second year every race all year. So there's a lot of laps and a lot of stuff that can, you know, go wrong. And here's the thing, just to stop for a second, when people and fans hear that these guys, Ricky Stenhouse, Casey Kane, Tony Stewart, obviously Kyle Larson, that they went to run a sprint car race, what people don't realize is they get home at 3 in the morning from those deals.
Starting point is 00:19:19 And they do it a lot on Saturday nights. So I don't know if you land at 3 in the morning how good you are the next day. You know what I mean? Yeah. I mean, I don't know. It depends on where the track is. A lot of times the all-loress. They're done at, like, they're done at 1130 or whatever.
Starting point is 00:19:33 But these guys fly. They'll fly. Yeah, I mean, I don't know. I mean, going from, if he's running Wednesday night in California, he's probably not going to fly back out here until Thursday afternoon sometime. And then he's going to be, his time is obviously going to be already messed up. So, I don't know, I think he's young enough that his body is probably more capable of doing it than a lot of others. Like, I don't think some of the older guys could do that type of stuff and handle it as well.
Starting point is 00:20:00 But I think, I don't know, he's probably still rolling off adrenaline too. For sure. But he's got a good attitude about it as well. So I'm looking forward to seeing him continue and keep going. Austin Dillon was not penalized for his retaliation towards Cole Custer after Phoenix. What is your stance on how this situation should have been handling? handled. Dale believes he should do an out-of-market appearance for NASCAR. And for those who don't know what an out-of-market appearance is, it's an appearance that does not coincide with the racetrack
Starting point is 00:20:27 that you're at. So a different city or state. I guess what I don't understand about this is we let Kyle Busch swing it, swing it, Joey Lagano and try to break his jaw. That a fist fight ensues, and we say, okay, well, all right, that's cool. And then we have this happen where under yellow, Austin is using his vehicle ultimately as a weapon and the track conditions aren't green. So under yellow, yellow means go slow. Let's keep everybody safe. He ignored that. So then on the hills of that, they say to him, if you do it again, you're in big trouble.
Starting point is 00:21:02 Yeah, I don't, if they're going to allow guys have little scuffles after the races, if they're mad, that's fine, whatever. You know, I don't care if your guys want to, if his guys pull you off. But as long as the pit crew guys aren't sitting there swinging at all the drivers or whatever, they break it up and, you know, but you should not be able to use your car like that that guy's a rookie anyway why is a veteran of the series going after a rookie you're racing that series expecting stuff like that to happen once in a while Cole Custer did not go down that corner and be like man I can't wait to get loose here and wreck him wrecked both of I agree man yeah you know we've seen Matt Kenseth
Starting point is 00:21:35 wrecked Joy Legano undergreen on purpose I saw Ryan Seig wrecked Cole Custer this weekend on purpose huge hit for Cole Custer we saw Cole Custer accidentally wrecked Austin Dillon. Austin Dillon, Dylan retaliates on purpose. Like, wrecking on purpose is on purpose. So you got to either react or not react. Yeah, I don't understand what we're doing with this whole. If you do it again, you're in big trouble.
Starting point is 00:21:58 Was that wreck with Cole? Did he do it on purpose? Yeah. 39 hooked him on purpose? Hooked him. I would destroy every single one of his cars. There wasn't a great replay. They came under start, finish, and it was like Cole was trying to side-draft him a little bit
Starting point is 00:22:13 and got into him a little bit. Didn't necessarily mean to barely in the left rear. Yeah. The Seag boy proceeds to let him go and just hooks him in the right rear, getting into one. Cole hit so hard, I was concerned for his safety. And again, man, it was intentional. There weren't a lot of angles that you could see exactly what happened, but obviously sometimes we can see better TV.
Starting point is 00:22:33 He's been like that a little bit anyway. Ever since he tandem pushed Casey to that win at Daytona, he's always been, when you look back there and watch them guys race, it's not a fun of group to race with right there. Like, they don't, they don't, they don't agree, you know, they're mad at, they're probably mad at Cole. He's got a better car than me. Watch this guys. You know, and, and, uh, they do not race good back there, but there's, there's no way you should be able to use your car.
Starting point is 00:22:59 You know, Austin should follow him the next time he's running and knock him up the racetrack, something like that. Show him like, hey man, I've been doing this long time. That wasn't acceptable. Yeah. You know, Shet, like, what would, you know, what was some of these other veterans do? That's what they would do. Yeah. They wouldn't go down there and just, I still, regardless, I don't agree.
Starting point is 00:23:16 with turning a guy head on into a wall of 200 miles now. No, not. If you're going to wreck him, wreck him somewhere that it's not going to potentially hurt him. And that's not the first time. Wasn't he involved with something with Ryan Reed last year at Pocono? Didn't they get into it in the garage? Yeah, I think you're right.
Starting point is 00:23:31 Yeah, because Ryan Reed went after. Yeah. Ryan Reed's been doing that nine-round stuff. He'll knock that little guy's ass out. So this guy, this isn't the first time this guy has done this when he gets to a road rage back there and he thinks somebody's got a better call. And he doesn't.
Starting point is 00:23:45 What's this Ryan C guy? him up. Is he a big dude? No. Because Cole Custra is a big dude either. These dudes need to get on roids. None of them are big. Kristen whoop him. Kick his ass. Especially right now.
Starting point is 00:23:59 I think I could take him. Liquid courage. Yeah, he's not. He's a little guy. See, in college I would try to drink girls skinny. And my buddies would try to drink themselves in the badasses. Why did you look at me like that? What's drink girl skinny mean?
Starting point is 00:24:13 Make him look better than they are. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, come on. What? If you could drink a girl from one, 55, down to about 105, she's hot as hell at 105. But then you wake up to 155 again.
Starting point is 00:24:26 And then you tell your buddy she's 90. Who the hell said you were spending the night anywhere? I don't know. Kristen, yeah. Get your mind out of the cover. The paper clip is next on the cup circuit, and the definition of short track hard nose racing. What advice do you give your driver from a top of the spotter stand?
Starting point is 00:24:42 T.J. Mangers. I mean. Don't eat hot dogs. Yeah, don't eat any of the hot dogs. So you don't, here, I guess we're on a different tire. A different tire here. This year? On the left side, I think.
Starting point is 00:24:54 Oh, awesome. And I don't think it falls off as much. So I'm not really. That sucks. Yeah, so normally you would tell your driver to take care of the rear tires a little bit because you can really, these cup cars got a lot of horse power, and they can burn the rear tires off these things. So normally you're telling your driver to take care of your tires a little bit
Starting point is 00:25:09 and, you know, just keep your nose clean. My approach to Martinsville is pay attention to the, car that's about five cars ahead of you on restarts and when you're in heavy traffic because when that guy has a problem for whatever reason the fourth or fifth guy in line tends to knock the radiator out of his car so you really got to pay attention out front and make sure that your guy knows hey i may need to check up here getting in a corner because they will tear some stuff up between that and hitting curbs yeah you can uh restarts are always really fun here because guys try to get into they try to fill the hole on the bottom when somebody leaves a little bit of a
Starting point is 00:25:44 gap and then and then everybody gets jammed up behind them so we love to we like to work the outside there for a lap or two but you got to get down after that otherwise you're in trouble yeah how many uh how many hot talks you guys can eat man i might have one just just to have it yeah i'm not a big fan of them just for tradition our co-host last weekend yeah i was going to say way eight i heard i asked josh and i almost threw up yeah i just was picturing his muffin top as he was did you What? Josh had about the cookout? What? Josh has a muffin top. Did you hear what Josh said about the cookout? He says he spent $16 on himself at the cookout.
Starting point is 00:26:23 Yeah, once again, that's why he has a muffin top. Isn't it just called cookout, not like the, Ohio State? It's like the Facebook versus Facebook. Well, I mean, how do you say and not say the cookout in front of it? You just say, this is going to cookout? The door bumper clear podcast. This is the University of Ohio State. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:42 Are you going to the cookout, Josh? It's not the cookout. That's not a thing. I'm not talking about that cookout. How about the Walmart? It is the Walmart. That's funny. They actually should add the in front of Walmart.
Starting point is 00:26:53 Josh asks, you really want to know? Huh? You really want to know the answer to that? Sure. You know when you say, hey, hey, you're going on the cookout? What cookout? The one where my meats on your grill? What the hell does that even mean?
Starting point is 00:27:08 Never mind. We'll edit that out. Okay. No, that's staying in. That's podcast gold right there. podcast mold i don't know why you're not in stand-up comedy tj that was fabulous well are you guys gonna answer the damn i spent too much time at the cookout what was the question what advice are you going to give your driver we did i did i said we already watch five cars in front and then i said and then i said
Starting point is 00:27:27 you got to watch on restars because guys will fill a little hole on the bottom then you got to go around the outside or knock your radio out just yeah man who's the first person who's the first person not to water out of the radiator on restart amendinger okay if you're looking at the cars five The car's five ahead of you? What if you're leading? If you're leading, you're not doing anything. You're just not doing anything. You're just blowing through.
Starting point is 00:27:49 Dude, there's nothing easier. Yeah, there's nothing in front of you. No, I'm saying what advice then would you give? You can't give. Take care your tires. There's nothing easier than leading a rate. The easiest spotting ever is in the top five, ever. Minus a plate track.
Starting point is 00:28:01 Ever. Minus plate track. And then the leader is working extremely hard, and then nobody else is really working hard. Well, it's only going to take, what, like 10 laps to catch the rear of the field if you're leading. Yeah, probably in Cup, probably 30. Yeah, I don't think it's 30. We got gray there this week, so. The off-the-wall topic. Potential for a real Carolina and the other Carolina championship game in the NCAA.
Starting point is 00:28:28 If this comes to fruition, who claims the title for the year? We know who Brett's picking. Okay, let's go back to when the tournament started. Even though you didn't pick your own team. Who did Brett pick to win it all on this show? Yeah, you did pick the Coss. I picked the FI-South Carolina Game Cops. But you didn't pick them in your...
Starting point is 00:28:42 Doesn't matter. On this show, I picked the Gamecox. So I'm staying with my prediction of Gamecox. Go Cox. That your war cry? Do you understand you... You understand you're getting lucky as shit this. I mean, I'm glad for you, but you are lucky as hell.
Starting point is 00:28:58 Yeah, we're getting lucky. We beat Marquette by 20. We beat Duke by 10. We beat some other team by 20 that was supposed to beat us. We went last night by 7. Yeah, we're lucky. I'm just saying... Lucky is shooting a granny-style free throw backwards.
Starting point is 00:29:10 That's lucky. No way. So I was listening to a Malcolm Gladwell podcast, and he was talking about this guy. Malcolm who, he wrote like blank or the tipping point. He's smart as hell. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:19 He was talking about Wilts Chamberlain and how Wilk Chamberlain was so good at, was it free throws because he threw them granny style? Yeah. Yeah. That kid broke records. And then it's actually, yeah, he played a good game.
Starting point is 00:29:31 From a physics standpoint, it's the most consistent way, but men won't throw it that way because they think it emmospalian. That's the first time I've seen him actually do it in a game was over the weekend. When I first saw him shoot, I was like, what the, is he joking? Yeah, the Barry kid shoots 88%.
Starting point is 00:29:44 I couldn't believe that Florida and Wisconsin game. I know. Yeah, that was a crazy, crazy to tie it up, crazy three to win it. We were going to beat one of them so it didn't matter what they did. Yeah, that was a. The Barry kid that shot the free throw granny style. Yeah. He wouldn't make the block at the other end.
Starting point is 00:30:00 That was crazy. Yeah. And then we beat. White man can't jump that high. I know. White man can't jump. Great movie. But they can drink tequila.
Starting point is 00:30:08 I feel flush right now. I didn't even have. breakfast. You look reddery. You did now. I brush my teeth. With tequila. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:18 TJ, who you got? Tequila. You know, I've thought this is Carolina's year for a long time. They've had a really good team. Listen, I'm fine with a team, like, I'm fine with another dog coming in there and doing that. But North Carolina has a really good team. And they're going to be tough to beat. So, North Carolina is going to be.
Starting point is 00:30:40 Be my pick. Go cox. That's all I'm saying. You got money on them? I got a cock on my chest. Okay. I also have a cock on my shoulder. Holy shit.
Starting point is 00:30:52 How have I never seen that? I don't know. You like it, don't you? I've seen the, you say you like it. I love it. Can we call them something else like a chicken? You've got a chicken on your chest?
Starting point is 00:31:00 We actually refer to ourselves as the ass kicking chickens. That's fine. So that's okay. I mean, I would rather you say I got an ass kicking chicken on my chest rather than just say go cox, man. It's like pulling for the home tape. I don't want to. you hear you say I've got a cock on my chest.
Starting point is 00:31:13 I mean, I do. I got a cock on my shoulder too permanently. All right. You guys ready to go into hashtag hashtag ask. Producer Josh has chosen a few questions. These ought to be lovely. Listeners, you can always ask us questions throughout the week with hashtag Asked ABC and we will find them and we will answer them if they are not stupid.
Starting point is 00:31:30 I know this first guy. At Kevin Hamlin. Who is that? Ask him about 2820. He'll know. TJ, this is referring to you. Yeah. So I have that.
Starting point is 00:31:39 I've had this Mad League. for like five years now. Yep. And it's been 32 people, real people in it for five years. We play about four or five seasons a year. And Kevin's got into it the last year. I finally got him to get involved in it because he likes doing stuff like that. Well, me and him finally, finally he asked, you know,
Starting point is 00:32:00 or he's gotten good enough where he can, and I haven't had time to play. Oh, here comes what I have. Here coming. You've been playing for five years and he's been playing for a year. For anything. It's not an excuse. That is an excuse. So to be really good at this, to be really good at this, you have to be, he plays in like three leagues.
Starting point is 00:32:18 And I don't have time to do that. But between. And he works a full-time job. And he has three kids. I'm sorry, but combing Casey's hair in the morning is not really that hard. He's at Casey Cane racing right now sitting in a day. I'll bet you $100 is not there right now. Well, he might not be there now.
Starting point is 00:32:32 But he'll be there tomorrow. Well, maybe. But, you know, listen, he puts a lot, and he's good. He's gotten good at it. And he's taking a pretty bad team, and he's made the Jacksonville Jaguars. And it's funny because he used to. I thought he was a Seahawks fan. He is a Seahawks fan.
Starting point is 00:32:48 But now, since he's been the Jaguars in us, he really has an interest in the Jaguars. While most normal men are at Hooters watching basketball, these dumbasses are 40-year-olds playing Xbox on the road. Hey, man. That's not normal. Well, there's no way I'd be allowed to go to Hooters at 9.30 at night. It's a shame that Best Buy's already trademarked geek squad. I know. Best thing in my league.
Starting point is 00:33:09 No, I'm just kidding. Speaking, hey, wait, real quick, before you go to the next one. So 2820 means you lost. Yeah, he's real happy about it. That's okay, though, because playoffs will be around. If he makes the playoffs. He may get this tattooed on him. He might get the Super Bowl tattooed, the logo tattoo,
Starting point is 00:33:26 and then he'll lose it. But speaking of Geek Squad, you know, I saw, you know, the guy, the kid I used to buy for in the truck series, Tyler. Reddick. He's seen him all the roof on the roof on. Yeah, so he's coming to the roof to learn and watch whenever he's not driving the 42 car this year. Smart on his part.
Starting point is 00:33:43 Yeah, but he pulled his wallet out. Did you see, have you seen his wallet? Did it have a chain on it? Is it a belcro? No, this would all be an improvement. Oh, wow. So he pulled this out. Is it a duct tape?
Starting point is 00:33:57 No, it's worse. He pulled it out, and it's this hard square case with, like, buttons on it. If you want your American Express, you push the American Express one up, and it comes out. if you want the visa, you push this when the visa card comes out. Like, you want your license? Oh, you push a license when it pops out. That's kind of cool, actually. Like, this is like...
Starting point is 00:34:15 Dork. Yeah, like, Data from the Goonies had this thing back in the day. And I'm like, Tyler, what is that? Data from the guineas. And it kills the back of his pants. So his pocket where his wallet sits, it's put holes in his pants in the corners where the squares are. So it's just destroying his pants, too.
Starting point is 00:34:34 He should just get a purse. Look how much. She's laid up like a damn one shot is all it takes. She looks like a, she looks like a, what's that dog that races? What? The dog that races? Yeah, that long dog. Yeah, she looks like a dog, greyhound laid on the cows.
Starting point is 00:34:51 Look how legs are doing. That's a compliment, Kristen. That's a compliment. You're a little like a trophy horse. A dog and a horse. It's a phenomenal. She is. Look how relaxed, sweet.
Starting point is 00:35:04 As the show goes, you know, goes on. She's leaning more and more and kicking back. So you took care of my panic attack. I feel better. Yeah. You look more relaxed. Why do you need meds? You just take a shot of tequila. I feel like I would get a drinking problem. Warm, warm tequila too. All that hackin. I have to commend TJ. He hasn't been today. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. Must be the West Coast Coast air or something. Hey, by the way, thankfully the West Coast swings over. Yeah. That's brutal. Yesterday I felt like garbage.
Starting point is 00:35:38 Yeah, and y'all are off this weekend. We are. What are you doing? Alan's parents are coming into town. Yeah. I wonder you're needing tequila. In-laws are coming. We got Stanley steamer coming on Thursday.
Starting point is 00:35:50 We're cleaning. Yeah. That's awesome. What are you doing, Josh? Going home to Wets to Sale. I'll play some Xbox and TJ's League. No, probably play some golf. My dad.
Starting point is 00:36:01 That's better. We would wear Josh out, I'm sure. Saturday. So Saturday, I'll get to come home Saturday night, which means I can watch the Cox at home. It's going to be fun. I thought you were going. Grill some steaks. I can't go Saturday because we've got a race Sunday.
Starting point is 00:36:15 Still a race. Still a race. Lay down, Kristen. Just lay down. Take the rest of show off. At KJ. Fly asked in honor of March Madness, who is the biggest upset win of all time in NASCAR? Oh, this is a good one. I think we've talked about before.
Starting point is 00:36:29 Chris Boucher. I'm going, I'm going to Trevor Bain. Trevor Bain, Daytona. Oh, wow. Yeah. That's Derek Cup, Derek Cup,
Starting point is 00:36:35 Daytona. Yeah, I would probably go with Derek Co. Casey Mears, your boy. Casey Mears is Charlotte. That's a pretty big win.
Starting point is 00:36:43 Yeah, won the 600. Did a buckshot Jones ever win anything? Nah. Not that mattered. He won the name. Yeah. His grandma said he was tough as buckshot. That's where his nickname came out.
Starting point is 00:36:53 Really? Yeah. The rest of his thought he drove like buckshot out of the end of a shotgun. Yeah. I would say, I mean, that's on the cup side.
Starting point is 00:37:02 Man, that's three big ones. Yeah, I mean, Derek Cope winning the 500 over Dell, Earnhardt Sr. was big. But, Del Senior, had a problem. Yeah. That Chris Buster wins pretty big. You know, I think we should. David Reagan?
Starting point is 00:37:16 I mean, he's one couple. David Reagan at Talladega? Yeah, a couple sleeper. I don't really think we could count Derek Cope because that's not really. You can't count Derek Cote. He won the Daytona 500 and he sucks. Yeah, I'm saying, like, I mean, he didn't, I don't know. The question is, biggest upset win.
Starting point is 00:37:32 Well, okay, so maybe they're not saying biggest driver who sucks and still won. They're saying biggest upset, like, still the biggest driver who sucks. I'm trying to get, like, I'm trying to narrow this down to, like, somebody that actually took a, not a very good car, one up there and got it. I think Trevor Bain is a talented guy. I think the fact that he won the Daytona 500 is an upset. Does that just prove anyone can win the Daytona 500? No, because it's only happened twice, right? Most winners are legit dudes.
Starting point is 00:38:04 Unless AJ Amadinger wins it. But it does prove the legitimacy is out. Restrictor play racing can't be a crap shoot. Yeah, I mean, can be. Who won that Gillander, David Reagan a couple years ago, Talladega? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I'm not going to put... In the Long John Silver car?
Starting point is 00:38:19 I was going to put Brad on that list in that Miccosuki car because no one ever thought he would have had a shot. Long John Silver should sponsor the game cox. That would be a perfect sponsorship. I like the chicken there. Oh, got it. I'll text you tomorrow. Why is everything going over my head today?
Starting point is 00:38:35 Because you're laying down. Oh, God. At Jen Olk asked, what track is the worst to get out of and to the airport? California is pretty bad. T. T. Tijuana was stupid because they always, they turn it into a cluster. They create an issue getting out of there with the cones.
Starting point is 00:38:51 And then you can't take a ride on that one road. I'm going to pull the bell and say TG and I for 10 years were both spoiled because we were the only spotters every week that we helicoptered out. We were. For a while there. We were spoiled for a long time, but now we're all driving out. So I don't know. What do you think is the worst one to get out of? Pocono.
Starting point is 00:39:09 Bristol, because they close the info. No, Poconos are usually pretty easy. Once you get in that line on the backcountry and get out, it's not too bad. Martinsville can be bad. Well, we all park up there at the old roads. We park up there by the road. We walk about two miles and just blow them out. I think, for us, spotters, man, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:39:30 You don't really have terrible places. I got to say Pocono for me. Just because you got to go inside and then you got to go to that. I've been shooting out the tunnel. And then you've got to take a right. And you've got to take a left. And the cops are morons. If they just get out of the fucking way, we could all get out of, get home.
Starting point is 00:39:44 But they stand in the road, you know, like idiots. Love cops, by the way. Just not the ones at Pocono after the race. It's a very specific thought. I don't know that there's a harder one. I would say for us. Bristol can be bad. Well, Bristol, I get in that police escort line.
Starting point is 00:39:58 Yeah, it can be bad if you're not, though. Bristol can be bad. I think California. California's, I think, are worst. I roll out of there. It's easy for us because where we park. Watkins Glen, out. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:11 I was, my initial thought was Texas. Yeah, Texas is bad sometimes. Texas, they're idiots, too. You just got a cup of here. Luckily with Texas, though, the FBI is right down the street. 40 million cones and they're idiots. The cones are just overkill. Like, why so many?
Starting point is 00:40:30 And if you don't get in the right, if you're not leaving, if you come out the tunnel and go straight out, if you're not in the far right-hand lane, you're screwed. Yeah, and they don't, like, tell you, like, hey, be in this line and get to the airport. So you get, you get 300 yards up the street, and somebody's already blasted cones are all over the place. So why? Phoenix is badass, because our FBO is right next to the, you could walk to it. Phoenix rolls. Yeah, the one that really sucks is, uh, Rhode America.
Starting point is 00:40:57 It goes, like, an hour and a half away. Green Bay. We got to talk about that serial killer, though. We got to take a picture. Stephen Avery. Oh, yeah. No, he's acquitted. Definitely not going to go to Rhode America now.
Starting point is 00:41:11 No, I'm out. Yeah, Rhode America. Did you all ever watch that Making a Murder? On Netflix? Oh, it's so good. It's really good. The guy committed the murder, whatever, right there when you're on the way
Starting point is 00:41:23 from Rhode America to the FBI. Yeah. So we stopped and took a picture because our perfect coach at the time, one of one of one. I know of another one. If you don't get out right away, Sonoma could be pretty bad. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:33 Because there's only two-lane roads leaving, and it's not. It doesn't flow very well. That's a good one, but I get out quick there. We always stayed there longer in NASCAR so we could go to the vineyards and crap. So we have to worry about that. At Dale Jr. Scanner asks, why is T.J. the first one to get to the spotter stand in his bright red shirt? I'm usually not, so I'm not really sure.
Starting point is 00:41:55 I'm probably eighth or tenth to get there. Who is the first to get there? I would. Not Brett. Yeah, I would probably say, I don't know if there's anybody. Used to be Jeremy Brickhouse, but he'd know a longer spots. Yeah, he would be there real early. I try to go a little over an hour before just to get in the elevator and beat that,
Starting point is 00:42:16 but I'm usually probably the eighth or tenth guy up there. I would say a lot of the Gibbs guys are pretty early. Is it just so you can grab your space? Nah, we already know where we're going. It's just that you're done. You're doing. Oh, I just said death words. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:42:28 Which, Brett space. It's just your preference. Like, if you're sitting somewhere and you're like, all right, you're in the truck and you want to go, or you're sitting somewhere and you're like, all right, well, I'm just going to go. Because you can go up there and get your iPad out. Do you have service on it? You don't need Wi-Fi. But you can go up there and watch basketball, go up there and watch, you know, FaceTime.
Starting point is 00:42:52 Curling. Curling, greyhound races, whatever you want to do. All right. Are there any other questions, T.J. That you've scanned on your Twitter. I didn't do it this week. Kevin was the only one eye. I appreciate Kevin Hamlin calling in the day.
Starting point is 00:43:14 Thanks, Kevin. You're probably still sleeping. Ask DBC. Hala. Hala. My ran is about T.J. Oh, this should be good. I listened to the last week's show from Bozeman, Montana.
Starting point is 00:43:28 And I hear T.J. won a race and did not go to victory lane. Yeah. This is only the second guy I know in NASCAR history that's a spotter that has the privilege and honor of being on a winning race team and not at least go to victory lane to shake everybody's hand and say, thank you guys. I love y'all.
Starting point is 00:43:50 That was awesome. He couldn't get to get a ride then. He's been with Justin Algarre a year and a half. He couldn't get a ride. There's Frikan Uber's everywhere in Phoenix for one. For one. you there? I was there.
Starting point is 00:44:00 Did you have a car with a seat available? Yes. Josh, were you there? Yeah, because that's going to happen. Was there a seat available? Hey, Josh. I know where to. So, so.
Starting point is 00:44:08 Hey, Tyler. TJ. No, no, no. We're not changing the subject here. Your commitment to this organization has got to be elevated the next time you want a race. I've won a lot of race with the organization. It doesn't matter. It does matter.
Starting point is 00:44:19 The last one that you won, you exempted yourself from a celebration. Are you going to at least come to the victory bell to us today? Do you think that's okay? I didn't know about that until late last night. We won three times last year, and Brett ran his ass down to Victory Lane. Three times. Brett also gets a car. I do have a car.
Starting point is 00:44:37 But even if I didn't get a car, you had Dale Jr. His bus was there. And Dale Jr. was in Victory Lane with us. Did he have a bus driver there? With a car. It's a lame excuse to win a race. I had to play my Madden game. Now we know the truth comes out.
Starting point is 00:44:54 Guys, I had a scheduled game, okay? I hope. I mean, Kristen's fiancé, are you engaged yet? No. Kristen's boyfriend, right? Right. We can say that. Yep.
Starting point is 00:45:08 Yeah. No. He does not. I'm not going to let him in my mad league. I'm mad at him anyway because he doesn't. He hasn't sent me a pit road map all year. He used to email him to me every week. You want me to relay the message?
Starting point is 00:45:39 Can't you just walk down the hallway? No, he can't do that. There's no way. Can't have any team conversation. Why do you all fly in little planes that have to stop three times? Why not just fly commercial from at Amah? I sent out a tweet last night that said I thought about going to Waffle House. And that chick is a stay-at-home mom fitness freak.
Starting point is 00:45:57 She's like, yeah, you should stop. Then she sends that question. Their Waffle House is coming tomorrow morning to celebrate with fresh waffles at the shop, by the way. Awesome. Very cool. Really? Really? I didn't know that.
Starting point is 00:46:09 Geez, I don't know anything about it. You just got it in your human resources. So, TJ's planning. How many times your plane stopped last night? Zero. T.J flies on a, most of these guys now fly on citations, right? Citation latitudes, citation tens, you know, citation sovereigns. And if you Google that, I know, you know,
Starting point is 00:46:27 you people listen are aviation geeks, but if you Google those, these are bad-ass airplanes. They don't have to stop coming home from the West Coast. Some people are on team planes, those regional jets, that hold 50 people. They'll go about halfway, you know, to Kansas, Texas, Oklahoma, wherever. You stop and get fuel and you come on. But it's only 30 minutes. Not even that. It takes like 15 minutes.
Starting point is 00:46:48 We all go. And it's actually like I didn't know how I was going to like it this year because I had never had to do it. Yeah, it ain't a bad thing. It's actually really nice. It just breaks up the monotomy of going all the way across. Them seats get hard and stuff too. It gives you, you can walk in. A lot of times in places make popcorn.
Starting point is 00:47:05 Yeah, they make popcorn and stuff. Yeah. And cookies. When I got here, a lot of teams flew on Brasilia's to the West Coast. And a Brasilia is a prop plane. They would literally leave Charlotte. I used to. They would stop three times.
Starting point is 00:47:18 It would take 12 to 14 hours to get there. Why? Why fly that? Because they're cheap. They're slow. They're cheap. Cheap. Cheap.
Starting point is 00:47:26 to run. You know, you're talking $800 an hour to move 40 people, which is, which is cheap. Now these same teams have 50-person jets. And so we don't really do the whole three-stop thing anymore. But great question. Oh, got another one there, Graham? You got to rant, T.J. You mad at me about anything since you?
Starting point is 00:47:43 No, but I'm going to have one next week, and it's going to be about you. You got to go to Victory Lane, man. You can't be that guy. Yeah, you got to come. I'm always that guy. We all want to celebrate. You're part of the team. Why are you mad?
Starting point is 00:47:57 You know what else on the show last week? T.J. I wanted to spray your face with gatorade. Oh, yeah. T.J. and Josh were both complaining about the schedules. Oh, my God, we had to work six hours when we got five-minute breaks. Dude, have y'all ever worked a real job? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:13 Oh, my God. We'll look such a tough day. Dude, if it's hot as hell, I'll be on your side and say, man, it's hot. I'm dying. I code red. I'm burning up. I'm medium well. Get my fat ass off this spotter stand.
Starting point is 00:48:23 But you can't fuss about a six-hour work day with five-minute break. Right. I think it was longer than six hours, though. Now she's laying completely down. I told you. She's getting lower on. Tell us your feelings, Kristen. This couch is very comfortable.
Starting point is 00:48:33 She's going. She's going. Hold on, I'll get Alan. I mean. Perfect. I feel better already. So the only schedule I had a problem with was Atlanta. Atlanta?
Starting point is 00:48:46 Hot Lana. It wasn't hot Lana. I know. But you were fussing because you had to work. That's the only day that I didn't like was the Friday at Atlanta, only because I would have, like, I packed my cooler and everything. for the day. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:57 It would have been nice to have a 15-minute break or something. You have 15-minute breaks. When they say we're going into qualifying trim, that takes 15 minutes. Yeah, but you're kind of watching lines and seeing what other guys do and stuff still. You can pee and eat during that time. Yeah, I like to stay focused, man. Oh, my God. You can't stay focused when you're peeing?
Starting point is 00:49:16 First of all. How much effort does that take? You're that guy. Being adult, not a kid, pissing the toilet, not on the lid. Do we have to put Cheerios in your toilet? Don't be splattering and piss everywhere. bro, focus. I hate that.
Starting point is 00:49:28 That's the worst thing about men. You walk into the toilet and you're like, oh, God. Yeah, that's, dude, how long have you been aiming with that thing? Because you're not good at it. Do you need target practice? Hey, Patrick Everett. Likes the guns on you, by the way. Gun show.
Starting point is 00:49:43 Yeah. Gun show. Easy, Patrick. Calm down. So no rant, other than yours, we got one. You guys had a pick. And Brett is kicking T.J.'s. Three to one?
Starting point is 00:49:57 Four to one. It's like TJ's not even trying. My favorite part about last week's show is T.J. goes on this deal about he won because Brad got caught cheating. When he had. I didn't go on that deal. It got caught cheating. Too.
Starting point is 00:50:09 And that's who he had. I was like, I'm sitting there listening to Buzz Montana. I just start throwing shit. Your win is encumbered. Yours was, too. Your second place was encumbered. You know, my. It's four to one, dude.
Starting point is 00:50:22 You better go heavy. We both went heavy. And we both failed. Dude, how about how? Both our picks sucks. That's, yeah, 21st. We had two of the best at California, and they were 13th and 21st. I've beat you with Brendan gone.
Starting point is 00:50:35 That's my win. You did. Maybe the only time you won over a year. It might be. Martin'sville. Martin's with a paper clip, man. Jeff Gordon's not here. Are we resetting at the chase?
Starting point is 00:50:45 Yes. We're not, we're resetting the drivers, not the score. Yeah, the score stays, but the drivers are getting reset. TJ's got a win. He's a must win. Yeah, it's getting pretty close. TJ take Derek Cope. I think I know who he's taking right here.
Starting point is 00:50:59 I'm going to go with the guy that... Here's what I think he's taken. Got it. I'll take Brad. Nope. Nope. I thought he's taking. I'm going to take...
Starting point is 00:51:07 That's a good pick. It's going to be a tough one. He's been fast. My man is on the ropes. He's the seven-time champion. He's got 80 wins in NASCAR. Jimmy Johnson is my guy. Jimmy Johnson.
Starting point is 00:51:18 Jimmy's coming this week. Jimmy's Johnson. It's his turn. He will go out there and he will dominate this race. and he will make the chase the playoff. Sorry. The playoffs. It's his turn.
Starting point is 00:51:29 It's his time. This guy's been struggling. Yeah, and Brad's been hot, though, too. Here's what I don't understand. Maybe T.J. can enlighten us. Chase Elliott is setting the world on fire and qualifying in practice, in the race. And where are the other three teams? What are y'all doing?
Starting point is 00:51:44 What's wrong? I don't know. Something's up. Either he's getting through tech with some stuff. And see, here's what people don't realize. The car chees. That's their job. Get my car through tech with the limits pushed.
Starting point is 00:52:01 So maybe he's got a better car chief of you got. There's something going on that's making him so much better. He's not that much better than these other three guys. I don't know, but I want to hire him. He's got something going on. I know. You know, I think we had a better car than what we finished on Sunday, but we just never, it was track position.
Starting point is 00:52:19 If you didn't have a really good car, you weren't, I mean, you were kind of stuck where you were at. And we were. We drove from 16th to 4th pretty quick. Well, we went from the back of the field up to 11th at one point. But then when you get to that, we never could get over. Something would happen. Left front wouldn't come off on the pit stop.
Starting point is 00:52:37 So you lose 4 or 5. Every time we would make progress, something would knock us back a little bit. Right. And we had all inside row restarts the last 4. Yeah. So if you're on the inside row, we seriously didn't have an outside row restart. Probably the last 4 or 5 total. We got one all day, and it was 4.
Starting point is 00:52:54 finally on the last one. Yeah, that's, well, that's fault and clawed. You'd restart third and go to seven. I mean, it was, and we're coming up one. We restarted 11th and went to 20th. Yeah. With a net, starting on the inside. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:09 If you, like, if you were on the inside of that last restart, you probably would have been six or something, fifth or six probably. Well, we'd lost a few for sure. So, but we, if you don't have the outside, you're kind of, it's part of it, though. So, you know, it's cyclical. I mean, we've seen teams dominating and struggle and then, you know, kind of hit their stride, But I'm certainly surprised that Dale Jr. and Jimmy Johnson aren't running better. I mean, Casey Cain fired off pretty good.
Starting point is 00:53:33 Chase fired off on fire. And now it seems like Casey's calmed down the last two weeks. And you guys just- Yeah, Casey was okay. He was okay yesterday. He got caught up in that. Something happened to put him back. And then he got caught up in that.
Starting point is 00:53:45 I saw him running 10th to 12 all day. Yeah, he was that six and 17 got into it. And they took him with him. No, imagine that. So, yeah. I like Ricky. But, man, he drives crazy sometimes. Yeah, I think when you get back there in that,
Starting point is 00:53:57 and when you get back there in that 13th to 20th spot, man, it is. I lived it last year. It's a storm. If somebody, well, you're usually right behind it. But, uh, it was right in the freaking middle of that's when you're spotting your ass off. Any of them guys that get runs, you could seriously run a guy down from 10 carlines pass him. Start to pass the next guy. If that guy behind you has a run, he's taking it.
Starting point is 00:54:18 He's not like, no. He don't care if he slows you guys all down, almost wrecked you. It's like there's not much common sense racing in that area a lot. I agree. But anyway, you good, Kristen? I'm good. You guys have fun of Martinsville. You're not going to go?
Starting point is 00:54:35 I'm good, thanks though. Maybe you should bring the in-laws. You should bring them up on Sunday. Yeah. They come to the Michigan race. Give them a pit tour. Yeah, I want to do my child on my off weekend. It's a holler tour.
Starting point is 00:54:45 Holler tour. Holler. Holler. Holler tour. All right. That's fun. Go take a nap. Cocks.
Starting point is 00:54:53 Rest up for your game. Yes. I'd rather the Cox win than UNC. Go TAR heels. I'm going to go Josh on this one. Go heels, man. Josh is a traitor. Heels.
Starting point is 00:55:02 We're a studio divided. What a, what a. I was pulling for Wisconsin just so everybody knows. The badgers. That was my, because of Ben that went there. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, Ben Brewst. Brust. Brust, whatever.
Starting point is 00:55:13 So he, uh, he's always a good, you know, I hope he, I think he's coming back out for the Charlotte races. Maybe we can have Mon him when he comes back out. Now that the studio is bigger. and it won't look like we're sitting on each other's laps. But since Ben went there and he's always been a huge race fan, he's been a good guy. I've always pulled for the Badgers as well.
