This is Dale Jr., and you're listening to Dirty Moe Radio. Outside, door, bumper, clear of the 18th. Best car ahead here in a long time. You're going to do it. You're going to win it. Right with you. You're clear. Check the flag.

You win. Hey, everybody. I'm T.J. Major, spotter of the 88 in the Cup series and the 7 and the Xfinery series. And joining me again today is in town this week. Brett Griffin, spotter for Clint Boyer and Elliot Sadler. And this time, T.J. had to read his introduction. So I pitch it to our lovely co-host, too.

It's probably not going to read hers this week because I have a sheet of paper in my hand. Hey, guys, it's Kristen, and I'm in JRM marketing and sponsorship here at the race shop. What are you going to do for us during this whole thing right here? Yeah, what's your job today? What's your task? Yeah, what's your role? To mediate the two of you. I'm here as your personal therapist.

We don't need mediation. We need help. We need assistance. You do. You need assistance. We do. Assistance, not assistance. Oh.

Right. Yeah. As a noun, not a verb. Yes. Very good. Way to look at it. So what did you do? What times you get home Sunday night?

So I walked in my door a little after 4 a.m. What was the first thing you did at 4 a.m.? Well, I brought my bag in, and I went in there, and I gave my little girl a kiss. She was sleeping. But then I was wide awake for a little bit, because usually by the time you drive home and you bring your bag and stuff in, I'm wide awake for a while. So I lay there, and, you know, you. you know, reading it. It's pretty quiet at 4.m.

There's nothing really to read and check out. And all the Twitter fighting was over by that point. So it wasn't much to do. Twitter fighting was good, man. It was entertaining night. You know we had a good week when that goes down. I know. And I think NASCAR should just make it mandatory

when Kyle doesn't finish top 15. He has to do a Twitter chat. Yeah. Mandatory Wi-Fi on a plane. Mandatory Twitter chat. Yeah, that'll be a good one. Before we jump into this show today with our Exaltus studio, So we have to thank our good friends at one main for bringing this podcast door bumper clear to you guys.

And I think we're getting ready to fire off with some of our spot on, spot off stuff. And I think Kristen's going to run through some topics, and TJ are going to tell you guys whether or not we agree with them. We sure are. First, I like to call out Brett's awesome footwear. I'm going to tweet a picture of it later. Thank you. He's very. We didn't get the hug deal work out, so I figured I'd switch to Gucci.

Oh, they're nice. So Wednesday night, I'm sorry. Yeah, Wednesday night I was bored in L.A. And so I went and stayed in Blake's rental house, which is in the Hollywood Hills, which has some phenomenal views. And I could, like, see where Rodeo Drive was at. So pagell and South Carolina and Rodeo Drive were, like, nowhere to each other. So I rolled in and bought me a pair of shoes. You're bringing it.

Thank you. All right, spot on, spot off. Are those high tops? Yeah, they are. You like them? They don't come in your size. They had kids sizes in there. What kind of socks you want on?

I think they're underarmors probably. Geez, man. They go to your knees? Oh, yeah. She's got to cover my, man. I've got to cover my high tops. Oh, okay. Okay, spot on, spot off.

The vicious-looking wrecks and the safer barrier walls at Auto Club, spot on or spot off. Both were spot on. I mean, the wrecks are part of racing. You always hate to see them. But at the end of the day, the safety barriers and the head and neck restraint systems, basically everything that's happened post Earnhardt's wreck in 2001 has saved a lot of people's lives. And I even say that about Elliot Sadler and Clint Boyer. Clint had a really bad wreck last year coming off to, I believe, we're at Kansas.

And very violent-looking wreck. And when it takes my breath, I can only imagine what it feels like inside of the car. So big-time spot-on for what we have for safer barriers. Yeah, spot on. Spot on for any safer barrier at any racetrack, no matter if it's a short track or Bristol or whatever. they are lifesavers and glad to have them

but like he said the wrecks part of racing people like them not that we like to see anybody get hurt but it's part of it and that's what makes it exciting

Danica's wreck was exciting you know I hate it for her and Casey to be involved in it but Kyle's wreck was exciting as well that F1 crash I mean F1 crash oh yeah was crazy this week

I mean we've seen anytime you see somebody crash it's it certainly gets you excited. Now clearly it doesn't mean you want to see injury on anybody, and that's why these safer barriers are such a big deal. That's why people go, though, there's a risk. Yeah, they wouldn't, you know, not that they want to see wrecks,

but it makes it exciting. That's partially why the plate race is exciting, because they know if one of us slip up or one of the drivers slip up, there's going to be a carnage. You're going to see a wreck. Yeah, for sure. Kyle Bush blows off his post-race media obligations. I don't really think he blew them off.

It's, I'm torn on this one. I want to say spot on because this is the ex-finity race when he finished top three, and he is required to go to the media center. Yeah, but either way, I mean, no matter what, you still need to talk to the people and promote your sponsors, and even if you're mad. But we all know how Kyle is, and we know his personality, and I guess that's what makes him either loved or hated by a lot of the people. Spot off, man.

I mean, this guy's a champion now. I mean, he's a Sprint Cup series champion. As recently as last year, so this comes down to two things for me, maturity and being able to suffer defeat and sponsor representation. And he fell on both those levels. I know the M&M's guys, Elliot had that sponsorship for a long time, super nice people, literally a brand that can cater to everybody. Not every, you know, sponsor in our sport has a demographic that broad.

He's got a man up. You know, you got to tuck your tail between your legs and roll in there. and face it with humility and not run away from it like a kid the vizine camera on brett this weekend you know i wore it obviously and uh it's always great when sponsors come into our sport and want to try new things and not that the camera's never been on a spotter stand before but they clip this thing to my hat and basically for you know three and a half hours i i wore it so i haven't seen what the viewer perspective look like but at the end of the day when sponsors are willing to open up new avenues to our sport and expose our fans to new things and new perspectives i'm all for

it and also you know I was explaining this to Mike Herman who spots for Stenhouse when you when you watch a football game the quarterback is the focus of the offense and that's who the camera's on and when it's not on him it'll pan to the head coach when it's not with the head coach it will occasionally pan to the offensive coordinator and I really look at us in a race that's like a Fontana as an offensive coordinator so it was really cool for for the media side of it being the TV side and the sponsor side to kind of play to what we do yeah I mean I'm partially torn on this i don't i don't want to get to the point where we're all wearing them you know what i mean where the sponsors paying x amount of dollars a year now because like they do

for the in-car cameras i don't want to i go to the bathroom too much to have a camera i'm i was literally i was tied to the rail so i couldn't leave yeah that wouldn't work i don't need a battery pack on my back or something yeah we'll get you uh the pins a catheter we'll figure something out i told you well somebody asked uh somebody asked tweeted me during the ray or you know after the I was reading it. It's like, hey, I'm right below you. Don't go to the bathroom. I was right, but did you get wet?

Yeah. Yeah. All right. Amy calls out T.J. for aggressive driving. All right. Spot off, Amy. She doesn't know what she's talking about.

After the race, she's a passenger in the backseat. Traffic, people stop out of nowhere. I mean, you know how it is. Leaving the track. People are gouging and stuff. I mean, she wants to drive out like she's leaving an empty target parking lot or something. You can't do that. are always gouging and stuff.

And just because people slam on their brakes, you can't see three cars in front of you. And she thinks sometimes because we have to slow down a little quicker than normal, that, you know, oh, I'm driving aggressively. Well, you have to be, if you don't drive somewhat aggressive leaving the racetrack,

you're not getting the airport. You are not, people are going to take advantage of you the whole time. So you don't let people in. And you don't, and when she puts a bag in the back, and she has some wine back there or something, and she puts it in the very back

in the center. in her cup sounded like yeah she puts it in the very back center I mean what's gonna happen when you turn a corner she's like she sets me up for failure then says all your aggressive drive I just got one question where you're driving with two feet or one foot uh most of the time I drive with one yeah but what how are you driving leaving the racetrack two feet or one foot one foot okay you weren't driving that aggressive because when you're aggressive you got to yeah yeah well like yeah so yeah she definitely missed the wheel I don't I don't I don't

I'm not aggressive, just people slow down, and I don't try to slam on the brakes. She always thinks we're going to hit somebody in front of us. Because I don't slam under brakes too hard to stay back, a car lane through whatever. I slow down, but I'm in a little bit of a slower rate, just so but we get closer. She's like, oh, we're going to hit. We haven't hit anybody in, and I've driven out of the racetrack for years now.

We haven't hit anybody yet. So spot off. I say spot on because I know the real race is after the race when all of us industry people are. It's like, it's the Fred Flintstone clock. You know, the clock goes off, and Josh doesn't know what we're talking about. He's too young Fred Flintstone, but the clock goes off. He and Barney get off work, and everybody hauls ass home, and that's what we're doing.

We're trying to haul ass home, so I know she was 100% right, and T.J. was driving like an idiot. Josh and I almost lost our dang minds in that traffic on Saturday. Oh, really Saturday. I feel bad. Did you go home Saturday night? Oh, so nice. I feel bad. Sunday got to watch the race from my couch.

I do know who Fred Flintstone is, and Barney Rubble. Yes. Good. All right, let's head into Fast Lane. Jetsons? I'm going to give you guys. George. Oh, guys.

What? Wait, did you say the Jetson? Yes. Elroy? Right. Boy, Elroy. You want to sing it? I know it.

Is this where you give us a three paragraph long introduction of this and somebody complained about you do this too much? Should we not do it? What? No, we should do it. I've got to tell them what we're doing. I mean, they are kind of kind of. No. Somebody said you need to ditch the introduction to the rules of this game.

They don't know the rules. Don't pay this guy in touch. Everyone's a critic. We've got a new listener this week. A new listener. We have to explain the list listener. What the hell we're getting ready to do. All right, so we're going to do Fastlane. I'm going to give TJ and Brett a topic to debate alternating who responds first. They will each get 30 seconds to voice their opinion and whoever responded first will get a 30 second rebuttal. Four of the topics are racing. Two of the topics non-racing. Re what? There isn't much argument about whether or not Casey Kane wrecked Danica on Sunday. Will or should NASCAR look at Danica walking up the track the racing service to confront Casey? Per the 2016 NASCAR rulebook drivers are not allowed to walk up on the

racing surface to confront a competitor. Should there be a penalty or fine involved? T.J. your first. Yeah, they've already fined somebody for doing something similar to out already from the truck series. Jennifer Joe Cobb did it and she got fine for it so it'd be hard to back down now and not find somebody else that's done it. And, you know, once you set the precedent for it, you've got stick with it so I believe she should get fined I think it driver should be able to voice her opinions express their opinions without going all the way up the racetrack but she should be fine for that it's very unfortunate that two females are the only ones that have broken the rules does that surprise anybody in this room should she be

fined yes is it unfortunate we even have this rule yes because one guy you know chose to make a poor decision and run toward a moving race car there's a difference in you know confronting somebody by throwing a helmet from 100 yards away or running toward their moving vehicle. So it's unfortunate we even have to have this rule. Yeah, I think I like seeing drivers, you know, be able to express themselves. If they want to throw their helmet, throw your helmet. I mean, if you want to throw your Hans device, throw your Hans device. I personally couldn't afford it, but, you know, some of the clips, some of the best clips they have for, you know,

previewing races and stuff are guys getting mad throwing their stuff. So, you know, I don't believe there's a place for running up the racetrack or something like that. That's dangerous. And she never did that. No. She never left apron. Yeah. Our ding is awful quiet today.

It should. It should. It looks like you got a lug down on your finger. We need a new noise. We need a fan to come up with a cool noise. It's a, uh, that's a one brass knuckle. It's for defense. Oh, that's too sick.

It looks scary. It does look scary. You have a piece of metal on your finger. It's huge. NASCAR summoned the driver, crew chief, and spotter of the number five car to the hauler after the race on Sunday. Have you ever been summoned to the hauler? And if so, what was that experience like? I have not, this is, I have never been summoned to the hauler.

Oh, and following the incident with Kevin Hamlin, I actually told Clint Boyer over the radio, no matter what happens, do not ever wrecked Danica because they just made the spotter go with the driver. That wreck had zero to do with the spotter. He shouldn't have even been in the conversation. It's out the front of the driver's windshield. The last thing I want to do is be stuck in traffic because my driver made a bonehead move during the race. Yeah, it wasn't.

The spotter did not turn the car, did not make him go down there, did not make Casey Sidesraft her. The spotter had nothing to do with that, so I don't believe it's fair to, you know, do that. I have actually been called to the hauler before. Shocking. Twice, actually.

Once was at Daytona, when Sterling Marlin, He blew up and they wanted him to get on the apron. And he didn't get on the apron fast enough. And I couldn't tell him because he was talking. So I got someone to the holler. I don't think Spotter should ever be called to the holler. We're perfect. We're 40 guys who never make mistakes.

And at some point, it needs to go down in NASCAR history. That calling us to the holler is an insult to the position and the performance that we do every single week. Okay, next one. No sarcasm in that one. All right, Kyle Bush almost won the Xfinity race on three-wheel Saturday after blowing the left front tire on the final lap. Should NASCAR have frozen the field with a caution or was it the right decision to just let him race back to the line? Brett. Kyle Bush, when he blew his left front tire, should not have brought out the yellow.

The white flag was already out. This guy has two choices at this point. He can choose to continue to race or he can yield to faster cars and get to the apron and not litter the racetrack with debris. He chose to continue his race, his own personal race under green. He did not put himself under yellow. So why should NASCAR put it under yellow when we've already taken the white and we need a race back and give the fans what they pay for? Yeah, first of all, don't drive on the apron, ding dong.

Then you won't get a flat tire because that's where that flat tire came from was driving all the way under the flat on the front stretch. So maybe if you don't do that, you won't get a flat tire next time. So, yeah, don't throw the yellow for that. He just wanted the yellows because he could have came across our finish line as the win or under yellow. And we all could have went home happy. Kyle's won enough races in the Xfinity Series this year. Let these guys race back.

You know, one of the reasons they probably didn't throw it is because there's going to be a really good race. And Suarez is coming and he's going to win, be his first win, would be great for that community. And unfortunately, he runs out of fuel. And then here comes Austin Dillon. Well, Kyle with a left front tire, tries to wreck the guy who's passing him for the league. He could say he tried to push him in the wall and do whatever. He tried to hit him in a left for and wreck him. So Kyle chose to race under green to finish his race.

So, hey, why shouldn't we all? He tried to use him up. He tried to use them up. He did. I mean, Bubble Wallace, I think, was running fourth. We ended up fifth. You know, Bubble was. Yeah.

He was in a decent spot to get a win, man. That's the price to pay for all that horsepower, isn't it? Yeah. Running out of gas. Yeah. I couldn't have been happier. There have been talks for years about adding another road course to the Cup's schedule. Are you guys in favor of this?

If so, where? Brett. It's got to be TJ's turn. Yeah. Go. As far as what track I would like to see them go to, I don't know. I'm all for any, any, maybe that, maybe Austin. I don't know.

Maybe Austin might be pretty interesting. It's got a real long front stretch with a really, really tight first corner. So that could be pretty interesting in our series. I am 100% for adding another road course. It has to be added in the chase. How can you have a champion when the champion is screaming diversity and you don't have a road course in there? You have short tracks, large tracks, plate tracks,

where the hell is the road course? Put it as a second race in the chase. Put it in Montreal. Let's go get an international audience for this thing. And it would be a home run. Yeah, I'm all for a first or second round of the chase. Yeah, I can't. Montreal might be a little.

I don't think Montreal is built for our cars. I like tracks that have a little bit elevation change and stuff. Montreal, I've been there numerous times. I think that's more of an indie car style track, but it's a road course. I like a little bit elevation change, though. The first off-the-wall topic, T.J., Disney announced that Harrison Ford will start in yet another Indiana Jones film. Release date is July 19, 2019. We're all fans of the original.

2019? We don't even, we have never watched Indiana Jones. You've never watched Indiana Jones? I've seen them all. Yeah, and then they had that crappy kingdom of the crystal skull. Yeah. Should they just call it a wrap on the franchise, or you think there could be a light at the end of this tunnel?

I'm all for another Indiana Jones. I liked all of them except for me. I didn't know if I saw the last one, but the originals were great. It was terrible. It was horrible. You were crazy. No, the one that you didn't see. Yeah, the originals are awesome.

That dude pulls a heart out of somebody's chest with his hands. He does. That happens. I see you're all for it. You're good. Yeah. Okay. Bruce Lee once pulled a heart out of a goat, a live goat, and he, like, held a heart up.

Like, that was real life. I don't know anything about Indiana Jones. I'm sorry. Let me just stop it here. You were giving me crap about not seeing the Flintstones. Indiana Jones way after that. Okay, the Flintstones is a kid thing. So is Indiana Jones.

It's like science fiction. The Temple of Doom. Yeah, the kid ties a block to his foot to drive. I did go see Indiana Jones at Hollywood Studios. when they like did whatever they did on that's what i'm saying and first of all whatever disney does they do it right most of the time so they do i don't see how they can screw it up they've they've turned star wars into a i don't watch i'm a little gun shy about it because the uh the last one was so bad you didn't see star wars no i don't watch you see i never got into

the star war stuff and i went and went to disney and got to meet the characters stuff with madeline and uh actually watched the movies again with madeline from in the chronological order so backwards from what they came out kind of so she could understand the story a little bit and I mean it was crazy because she cries every time a bad guy dies too so but Disney I'm like I mean the last one was good I thought and I never even got really into it but I thought the last Star Wars was good did you watch it yeah we saw it if you fly I've seen it twice I thought it was good you like it it was awesome yeah I can't wait for you know there's these little things they make now called iPads where you can watch whatever movie you want to watch I have those

But the Wi-Fi has a one. I have an iPad, but the crappy hotel Wi-Fi, I couldn't download. That's why you do it before you leave. I've, most people plan ahead. I don't have a lot of space on my iPad. So on your iPad, we'll get a new iPad. What do you have on your iPad that takes up all that space? You make a million dollars a year working here.

You can afford a new iPad. How big is your iPad? No, I'm talking about the storage on it. I don't know. I know how big iPads are. They're 30, 64-something, something. I don't know. If you don't have room.

I took off a bunch of apps to be able to put movies. All the other stuff you like to watch during the week when you're home by yourself. And go to the iTunes Store and download the show, Homeland and Breaking Bad. I've already seen all those. Sons of Anarchy. I've never watched that. Oh, that's awesome. I want to see your iPad.

See, I watch real shows. That's what I want to see. It's upstairs. I use it when I work out here. I mean, between like probably Tinder and all that stuff, you probably can. I told you I don't use Tinder anymore at all ever. Never. I don't know how you don't have.

room on a 32 gig. Do you have dirty dancing on your iPad? No, I forget what I'm on there. Nobody puts baby in a corner. That's a great movie. The lift in that movie, would they say the same thing at the same time? Can you do that dance? Which one?

The very end. Listen, I was actually in a dance routine back in the day for dirty dancing. I had a rat tail. I was a blonde head in Patrick Swayze. True story. You want to go? Were you a ladies man in high school? I don't know if I was a ladies man, but I could dance.

So ladies like that. You want to go, uh, you want to go in a, of the lake and want me to jump on to your head. Time of my life. All right. The last question. Brett, a lot has happened in the NCAA tournament so far. Michigan State lost to middle Tennessee.

My bracket is a crap fast. Texas loses on a half-corp bank buzzer beater and Gonzaga advances to the sweet 16. Who's your pick to win the whole thing? UNC was my pick from day one. They have the best team. I don't know if they have the best coach, but they have the best team. We've seen a ton of upsets, though. My bracket is still intact because I pick.

the best team in the country to win it all we shall see if they're able to hold it together i went with kansas i think uh in our little in our spotter bracket i think three of or four of us are tied right now i think me you and josh and josh williams and someone else maybe is tied for the most projected points deal right right so and i've got kansas and he's got unc so it's going to come down to that yeah so we have a spotter bracket and as t j alluded to we're both well so it's a very obvious out of the 40 spotters that are up there only four of us know anything about basketball i'm glad to be one of those four i'm glad syracuse beat middle tennessee state so i could put all that to bed i'm a syracuse fans so i have oklahoma

i'm sorry oklahoma is okay what the hell does that mean why do you put that on a license plate it's like new hampshires live free or die pennsylvania's is you've got a friend in pennsylvania No, you don't. You got a friend. We don't have friends up there. There are much people. Have you ever had a personalized license plate? No.

Never. What would you put on it if you did? Yeah. Yeah, what would you put on it? Should I just put single exclamation point? Yes. Kristenmingle.com. I did see something funny on the Sprint vision this week, and it was, if you were a girl,

what would you be named? So, Josh, you go first. If you were a girl, what would your name be? oh wow come on man you y'all like to play these one word everybody hurry up mansors stuff i'm jenny no man he looks like a bridget jennie she looks like jennie he looks like a bridget you can be in that movie far as gulf jane what was your name b tj oh man um Tiffany i don't know you look like to i would be catnus because that girl in hunger games is bad ass she's badass i love catnus everybody you look at joan you even knew her last night even her last name sounds like i don't know

Sounds good. Who would you be if you were a boy? What would your boy name? Chris. It's got to be something, but Chris Mingle.com doesn't sound good. Yeah, what would your name be? I've never even thought about this. We're thinking about it right now.

You never wanted to be a boy? No. She's taller to most boys. I know. You probably have a Division I scholarship if you were. I like the name Michael. Michael. So it is the majority of the world.

I know. It's my dad's name and my stepdad's name. What on a limb there? Eddie. Eddie. Eddie, Eddie. Eddie sounds like a get high name. Hi, my name's Eddie, and I'm going to get high.

Michael sounds like, hi, my name is Michael, and I'm very educated. And I work at a bank. And I work at a bank. Yeah. Hey, I'm Eddie. I'm going to get high today. You could go with something like crazy. Like, what would a crazy name?

Axel Rose. Axel? You look like an axle. That would work for you. All right. You'd actually do. Let's do a number two guard for your hair. with for the show. Take the makeup

ball. You do look like it actually. I have my head shaved on the side. Oh no? That's hot. Yeah. I can just flip it over. How are you going to cover it? That's why you got asked to the promise. I know. By the way, what's your, what's his name? I don't know. Yes, you do. You know his name. You screenshot of the tweet.

You know his name. What is his name? I don't know it. Let's show us. A guy in a picture with Justin Alguyer. That nails it down. So for those who don't know, T. T.J. and I are playing a matchmaker for Kristen. She is. She is now single. She is on week three of being single and she's been asked on three dates and a prom.

At a prom. I'm not going to prom. No, listen, she's not, doesn't mean that yet. She's playing hard to get. She doesn't what's his name? His name's Travis Campbell. Travis Campbell. It does. Listen, he's probably, where is he? Where's he from? Travis Campbell. He appears to be from America.

Shut up. S-I-N-G. This is brutal. Oh, my God. What do we got to do next? There's got to be something better to do. So, Travis, I'm working on this, by the way. Keep your ears open.

Be patient. We're doing the ASD-B-C. We've chosen the best or funniest S-D-B-C questions to ask the guys here today. And at the end, you guys are going to choose your favorite question, and that person's going to get an Elliott Sadler autographed hat from me. Hala. All right. At Grant underscore Camp asked T.J.

What do you think about drivers and crew members? using Twitter to express frustrations about other drivers. I think it's great. Why not? I would, I would, let them get it out. It's entertaining. The fans like it. They get an interaction with,

they get an inside scoop from people that, you know, a lot of other sports don't have. So, you know, to an extent, don't let it get carried away. But I like it. I love it, man. You know, if you can't get to each other and talk it out, then just tweet each other. It's like you're getting access to everybody's text messages.

all of a sudden and I mean Cole Pern calling Joy of oh he did delete the tweet yeah he was just bad at the time but you never know when he deleted if he wanted to delete it or if somebody said hey bro I'm your boss delete it you know and hey look you delete a tweet people say oh he deleted it you know it doesn't mean he still doesn't believe it it it just means maybe he's sorry he said it the way he said it I love it I love I do too I mean it's like like on the way home I'm flying home delger's like I want to do a Q&A with my fans right now why not yeah I mean, how else are they going to do that? They're not going to get to the Q&A at the racetracks half the time. They don't have access to that stuff.

No. And he's not on Facebook or anything like that. So, you know, why not use it to do stuff like that? Fans love it, sponsors love it. Is he on MySpace? Maybe. We used to all be on MySpace. We used to all be on it.

Yeah. Yep. All right. At Trey underscore Chafin. How do you know that's not chaffin? Chaffin. Is it? I don't know.

I'm asking. other is shappen shapp it brett did you remember to take the vising camera off when you used the bathroom i didn't have a choice when i went to the bathroom as to whether or not take it off it was tied to the spotter stand and and we had a long caution there where we put myrtle beach in one or two from when somebody blew up and i literally had to lay my i said i'm going to the bathroom i'll be back two minutes and not be able to talk and i laid it down and ran to the restroom and came back it don't matter brett usually sits when he peas anyway so

whatever it time i don't like the splatter actually you don't realize something that is that why you sit above the lid you're just going to let that one go i'm going to stop before i get myself in trouble at cornelius v star when their careers end who has more jimmy johnson cup wins

or kyle bush exfinity wins tj oh man i mean exfinity is a lot easier to win in Kyle right now and they've got the best cars they're the fastest it's almost like like a it's almost almost easy for Kyle I hate to say that but Exfini races are almost easy for Kyle now so I don't know how close they are do you know how close they are

I believe Kyle's got 79 and Jimmy's got 76 oh yeah Kyle Kyle's gonna win that by like 20 or 30 yeah Kyle's gonna win that I mean this is apples to oranges you can't compare the two yeah what Kyle does in the Xfinity series is certainly a big deal you know but Jimmy doesn't even race in that series. So you can't compare these two. At one female crew chief, do you think there should be two? We have a female crew chief? Do you think there should be two NASCAR goes west each season,

basically two West Coast swings? We have actually three West Coast swings. We just went for three straight weeks. We go back to Sonoma, and then at the end of the year, we go back to Phoenix. So for me, that's enough. I call it the left coast, and we're on the best coast. So I've had enough of the West Coast to last me for a while.

I'll kick it here in the south and the east coast for a few weeks, but certainly always enjoy our West Coast trips. Yeah, I think when this swings over, everyone's ready to be home, and it's tiring. It's a lot to go back and forth. It's a lot to stay. We all have families and stuff, and just to travel, the time difference and stuff really takes a toll on your body.

So it's good to have an off week this week. But to go back for a single race like Sonoma, Sonoma is a fun weekend. I really enjoy Sonoma weekend. Even when we go back for Phoenix, Phoenix Phoenix isn't isn't terrible in the fall, but just the two, three weeks in a row. I think that's good at once a season. At Randy NPO, are you prepping or training for the elevator ride or lack of at Kentucky Speedway, T.J.

Where's P.O? Randy's M.P.O. I don't know. Randy M. Po. Randy and Poe. Maybe he's the Popo. Yeah, that's what I was thinking. He's the Postmaster General.

He's got a good point. looking at people's Twitter names. I know. As y'all can tell. It's like the old AIM screen name. Like Travis Campbell. I mean the odds of that elevator

breaking in Kentucky are pretty are pretty high. So I did see Roger from Michigan before the race on Sunday and I asked if we could have a roof. Yeah. It didn't go over well. But no, I mean

at some point the odds are that it's going to break down. Yeah. Like that escalator, and it's not just like it's not one floor. It's like 10 stories of stairs. And you'll, I mean,

I've actually been flying back and forth to New York and running up and down the Empire State Building stairs getting ready for that weekend. Yeah. Because people don't realize the escalator breaks. That's 12 stories. It's ridiculous. And then you get to the concourse level

and the elevator's broken, there's another 12 stories. So we have to be in great elite spotter shape and be able to go 25 plus floors. You know what we need to do is... Just get to work. When we go there... And then we have to be in...

And then we have to go. Then we can't pee anyway. I'm banking off at working, but what we need to do is video one time, how many flights, one time going up. And I, we've counted the stairs. It's like, I forget how many it is. I'm sure somebody will have it again. But I will video how many flights of stairs. You literally can't see the top when you get out of an escalator.

I got home from West Coast, and my check liver light was flashing because I spent entirely too much time drinking red wine and eating ribby steaks out there. So I am actually in training for it. I'll be ready. If I'm going to kick Kentucky's ass when I get there. I'm ready. Yeah, I'm going to follow you. I'll carry you. I'm going to follow you.

You want to lose baby carriers. I'll put you in my chest. Like Carlos? Oh, yeah. Carlos. Not at the table, Carlos. Yeah. That's what we'll do.

Carlos, not at the table. Oh, my God. All right. Did you guys this past weekend have anything that you want to rant about? You know, I was thinking on the way here what's bothered me the most because there's a bunch of of things that always bother me. Before we do this, who won? Oh.

Which is the best question, guys. I like the escalator guy for even knowing that it's not going to work. Yeah, he has ESP. An elevator, that elevator is one that breaks too. So at Randy and P.O. gets the hat. Randy. But he's got to tell us what P.O. is. Yeah, Randy.

Maybe Randy and P is pissed off. Which is perfect for going on a rant. Yeah, Randy. So, man, my whole thing is just about sports. Like, fans ask for one thing. and for example fans have been screaming up and down about let them race back let them race back let them race back let them race back and that's car lets us race back in the Xfinity series and just because you're a cowbush fan it doesn't give you the right to all of a sudden flip to the other side and say well we shouldn't have race back like as a fan and as a true fan of a sport when you ask for a rule change and you ask for them to give you what you want and they give it to you just because your favorite team doesn't win you can't go against it you have to stand for what's best for the sport which is what NASCAR did on Saturday and then on on Sunday, you know, we saw Kyle Wreck again and brought out the last yellow of the race,

which created a heck of an inning for the Sprint Cup guys. But again, it was under the right circumstances as to which brought out of yellow and which didn't. We should be able to race back for a checker flag finish. And NASCAR did both things on both days for that to ultimately happen. You know, you can't, it's a judgment call at the time. If nobody was crashed, nobody was in need of medical attention. there wasn't there wasn't a piece of you know a big piece of metal flying over the grandstands anything like that the track wasn't had pieces here and there but it wasn't undrivable so i mean you

got to let them race like they let like they let the you know the cup race at wakles and then race out i mean that was the best race we we that i've seen i mean that was one of the best races i've seen talking about the one with all all over the track yeah yeah it was awesome they didn't throw the caution Man, if they threw the caution, there wasn't enough speedy drive in New York State to cover that racetrack. But, you know, you got to let him race some point. I know Kyle's mad because he didn't get to win. He wanted to yellow. But, man, I mean, you got all of them race.

It was exciting. And there wasn't any, we didn't have to send any ambulance out. We didn't have to do any of that stuff. So race. Right call, period. But you can't. Just the fans have to say, we want to be able to race back. As a sports fan, you want to see the game finish under playable conditions.

We saw that on Saturday. We saw that on Sunday. Kudos of NASCAR for making the right call both days. Yeah. Did you do anything fun in California? Whoa, hesitation here. Yeah. That's like, do I want to tell them or do I don't want to tell them?

We had some good dinners. Did you have? I was going to invite me. Yeah. My phone must go down. She didn't call you either? No. You were up in the Hollywood Hills.

Yeah, you were sent us pictures of a bathroom that was bigger than that the entire race shop. Yeah, but the, what do you call the stuff to turn them on and off? faucet yeah but there's a there's a general word for all that what's the general word for fixtures or whatever yeah we're like made from the 70s yeah it's a nostalgic older house and it's only 25,000 a month if you want her in it that's it yeah yeah so what'd you do you went to two dinner I don't know we I mean you go whoa yeah yeah she's being sketchy I'm not telling you must have done something fun I know TJ knows about it I don't know what did you do don't be

side eyeing me. I know what you did last weekend. Well, I didn't kill anyone. No. No, I had a good time. Well, we know. Oh, I know. Oh, I know. No, a bunch of us Thursday night, we all went out. Now it's coming out. St. Patrick's Day and we went out and drank and watched basketball. Yeah. Oh. A good hour. That's fun. Where'd you go? The 909 or something? We started at Hooters and then we went to the 909. I love it. Oh, yeah, you went for the wings. I love hooters everything, but their socks, man. Why do they wear those socks?

It's like, they wear those nylons, too, and so they're kind of shiny with the light. The hose? It's like my mom's outfit from aerobics back in the 70s. You can't wear a hose and socks and shoes? It's so awful. It's awful, though. They need to get more progressive. So you went for the wings?

I can't eat wings. So why'd you go? Well, because that's where everyone was. It was right across from the hotel, so we ran across the highway. Went for the beer. Went for the beer, and then we found a place to eat. What kind of beer you drink? Green.

IPA. Oh, those things will kill you. Yeah. Yeah, I felt like garbage. Friday? We found the only Irish hip-hop bar. They're playing rap music. Oh, how about that tweet?

Remember when that tweet? Someone said, Jeff Gluck, well, we can't, Spiders can't see the backtruth. Somebody tweeted Brett said, Brett Greta said, Brett Greeter can't see the front stretch. Yeah. It was really foggy Saturday. It was foggy.

And Jeff Kluck said, I'm having a hard time seeing the back and some dumb-ass fan that I've already blocked. Because I didn't see the tweet. Oh, you block people on Twitter. I block hundreds of people. Oh, wow. For every follower, there's two people that's been blocked.

Because people are idiots. Like, they want to call your names and they want to say stuff. It's rude. Yeah, and then here's the funny part. So they can call me a name, right? And I have to listen to it. And then if I call them a name back,

it's like, I'm writing an email to your sponsor and demand. you'd be fired. It's like, you asshole, you text me first. I didn't call you a name out of the blue. Twitter's full of trolls. Twitter's full of trolls. And here was a clown that was mad because Brett River gets to be the front stretch. Does it ever hurt your feeling? Yeah, can't you tell?

Such a sensitive guy. Marchville predictions, as a result of the driver, spotter, and crew chief. Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa. Being called back to the hauler. We will not see Danica Patrick Payee case he came back. Yeah, I mean, I'm still losing in this pick somebody. should go first no you won last week yeah but I'm still losing overall I I had Kyle Bush who was running second Jimmy Johnson is running seven

and the yellow comes out he's Superman yellow comes out at flip-lopson you finally win a race congratulations on that well and so no I pick first man and I really hate to do this but when you look at Marchville I know you're gonna pick all right there are three people that it came down to for the last 15 years it's Denny Hamlin Jeff Gordon and And Jimmy Johnson. Oh. Period.

In my opinion. Okay, so Denny has already won the Daytona 500. He had a chance to win the race last week. He goes to Martinsville with nothing but bragging rights. You know, Jimmy goes to Martinsville with nothing but bragging rights. He's already won two races, and I think Jimmy edges out, Denny for the win. Sweet. I'll take Harvick.

Were you around when Martinsville had the Dutch in and it was fun? Or was that before your time, Christ? No, we would have known her. We would have known of her. Josh, were you around then? before your time yeah you ever go oh you get the Dutch flu that's what they call it when you wake up the next day you get the Dutch flu we used to stay there you pay your cover charge and then you immediately get lung cancer like it's awful yeah it's so smoky

it doesn't exist anymore no it's still there but it's not what it was no so it used to be like a karaoke band bar place all the drivers went out before they had cell phones I mean Sterling Sterling was therely Marlin Michael Waldrum every yeah Yeah. Phenomenal. It was 100% well-made Barnesville cool away from the race. Yeah. I stayed there when I worked for Sterling, so I had a short walk in my room,

but I've definitely, I've definitely woke up a few times with my head hurting. Yeah. But it was really cool, though. Like you said, the drivers were going. It actually was, it might be the last nostalgic kind of bar where the drivers would actually go to at a racetrack and just go for fun, like during the race weekend, like they probably used to do back in the day. Yeah. I can't think of anywhere else where that really, really happens.

Nostalgia is a three-syllable word. T.J, that may be the biggest word he's ever used on the show. Rebuttal. Yeah, it's better than rebuttal. No, he can't say rebuttal. He says, rebuttal. Josh is giving us wrap it up. Thanks to One Main for having a song.
