Outside, door, bumper, clear 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, you're clear. Check the flag. You're in. Oh, yeah!

Hey, everybody. I'm T.J. Majors. Spot of the 88 Cup car, the 7 Xfinity car and the 29 truck. I didn't see you at an Xfinity race this weekend. He has in a different corner. Full house today here. L liar. He's in a corner of Moresville. That was.

We're at the fire department's on the way because we're at maximum occupancy for the studio. Yeah, Kristen is here. Holy shit. She's here. I forgot what she looked like. KB, Spotter of the Not Ryan Reed, number 16. a crap at Rhode America. How do you really feel?

God, get off the freaking track. What an idiot. What's he doing in there? You never know what he's doing in there. Josh is back. Where you been, Josh? I've been working, man. Shut up.

If I haven't been working, I've been at the foot doctor. Josh, what do you exactly do now? You don't do PR anymore. You don't come host this podcast. What do you do? He's the marketing sponsorship department now. I stole him. So he doesn't do shit either.

He handles... How much do I do for you? Every damn day. Have I told you in person how much I love those three t-shirts you gave me? I sleep in them. The really soft junior motorsports ones. That's the best t-shirt ever. That's the Dale Tee.

What is it? American Apparel, I think. It's the best. It's so soft. I'm going to cut it up and make underwear out of it. Anyway, Josh, what do you do? Josh manages Exaltah. Liberty, you and a bunch of the other partners like I do.

So he actually has a job. Straight up. Yeah. We think. Like me, we just answer email all day. I hate email. I know you do. Shane has been trying to get a hold of you for like a week.

She just has to be patient. I told her there's all these means in which to get a hold of me. She saw me for an hour and a half at the track at Road America. She said she's like, I went up on Elliott's bus and there were a hundred spotters and I needed to leave. Last year, I never emailed you. No, you know better. I texted you all the time because you wouldn't respond to email. I hate email.

I text you right back, though. You would respond like four months later. Yeah. Yeah, I do. Email suck. It's awful. It's too long. It's actually pretty easy.

If you're sitting at a computer board as hell like y'all are in an office, that's not me. I'm only going to go, Josh. They got email now on your phone. It's crazy. Yeah, but you got to sit in a text. You got to sit down and read and write. Brett doesn't know how to read. Reply forward.

You got to all these options. I've been playing this motorcycle game on my phone. I think it's ruined my thumb. I can't even text anymore. I can't spell words right. It's bad. I'm way out of room. Use your pointer finger.

Oh, that looks weird. I'm sure they have a, I bet they have a case with like a joystick on it. I tell you what. I actually wish the TJ that you'd have been in Road America because the NASCAR guy who calls the race, who we all just love, in the middle of the race, toward the end of the race, the Tiff boy was leading and the 51 was catching him with like 10 to go. And Berman just screams out, new leader to the 51. And we all look at each other like, well, I guess Tiff got blown up by an F-16 or something

because he had a pretty huge lead at this point. You know, that weren't even close yet. All of a sudden, here comes into turn 5, but I can see 19 car. I'm like, I guess we just stopped scoring him. He drives off, you know, seven, eight seconds later, here comes a 51. A couple minutes later, the tower goes, hey, never mind. Still leader. And then we had a caution.

We had a wreck in turn 5, and the 16 had already passed Elliot. And he had gone at least two miles after that. The caution comes out for the wreck in turn 5. Two minutes later, by the way. So caution's out. One in front of the 16. I was like, there's no way. Like, this guy's been in front of us for two miles.

They put him back behind us. And then we had a parked car in turn 14. I did see that. The entire field at full speed. drove by this car. Yeah. And they didn't throw the caution. And I'm like, you could get somebody hurt?

They showed it on TV. And then they shot the record across the racetrack in the middle of the race and push that guy back. And I'm like, it was just the craziest. The 13 car caught on fire, went in the grass. I'm telling Ellie, hey, we're going to get a caution in 30, 45 seconds. Oh, he was so mad. Well, that was, yeah, whatever.

That was a scapego deal. He was already getting past, which is why I keyed up to tell him he was getting past. That's a different story. What a dumpster player. I mean, you put, that's a weird. That's got to be a hard. race to call because they can't see the track either. I saw that car sitting in that corner and they were.

What would you think? I was actually tensed up because I was waiting to see somebody come flying in there and hit him. Yeah. If somebody would have, they would have been too wide in that corner behind them coming through there. Yeah. Good thing Ryan Reed didn't drive through there behind him.

Like I literally key up and I tell Elliot there's a car sitting dead stop on the right hand side of the track. In the racing groove. Stay to your left and he keys up. What are you talking about? I'm like, there is a car. We're going to go buy. him at 150 miles an hour and he's not going to move he's actually going to be waving at you guys

just don't hit him please don't be that guy it was crazy i saw that car sitting there it was a really fun experience to be in wisconsin though it sounds like they called a good race dude it was green it was pretty and what the craziest part have you ever seen that many roundabouts in your life. You're driving on a country road. You're 40 miles from civilization and all of a sudden there's just roundabout. Sheboygan is just roundabouts. It's nothing. It's the roundabout capital of the world. It keeps traffic flowing. And all of a sudden you roll up. I'm T.J. I'm telling you're in the middle of nowhere and you roll up on a four-way stop sign. And you're like, do you ever watch making a murderer? Why are we stopping? No, but I heard it was from there.

Manitowoc. Yeah. Manetwock. Stephen Avery. We wanted to take a manatwack. And there's bars like in the middle of cornfields. It's great. Wow. That's what I liked. Showed with the corn. We stayed at a resort that had a water park.

The whole one team went to the water park. Did you? Did you? She's allergic to water. Yeah. Did you imagine her? She got in a pool how much she'd break out? I hate the smell of chlorine.

Does that mean you break out? No. It just, it's, it's. Well, thanks for being safe this weekend. It just makes. really ugly water pretty. Thanks for being really safe this weekend. Glad you're here.

Hi. Yeah. Whoever you got that bubble you walked around on all weekend. Thanks. So we didn't have to come in right away at like 8 o'clock yesterday. Yeah. They said like 10 o'clock, whatever, because we got in kind of late. But I thought we had the podcast at 9.

And then I didn't look at the group me until we got here. And I was like, you could have slept in another hour. She doesn't even reply when she looks. Paying attention is absolutely free. Because I look at it and then something happens. and then I forget to go back to it. That's why I'm, I'll either text you back immediately or never. Well, I suggest you pay more attention.

To say, and if you want to sleep. That's kind of how Brett is with texts. It's either immediate or never. Text are really efficient. Just don't email me. Paying attention is absolutely free. If you email me, you have to text me and say, hey, I just emailed you. I hate when people do that.

I have people who email me and then they'll call me and they'll say, hey, do my email? Yeah, it gives me anxiety. Get that out of my face. 636 unread emails. And half of them are from Josh from last year. Hey, can Elliot come to hospitality five minutes early? Nah. He's probably going to come at the regular time because I'm not looking at email.

Except Elliot's always early. Yeah. All right, we're going into spot on, spot off. You all ready? Yeah. Jeremy Clements move on Tift with two to go to win at Road America, TJ. I mean, spot on only because he completed it and they both finished one. Or, no, I guess

to finish third maybe. Yeah. Yeah. Mike Lynette. Yeah. Dude. I thought he was going to win. I did, too.

But spot on because he still won the race. But spot off because you had another two and a half, three miles to go where you were overdriving every single corner. You were passing in the corners that only Jacques Villeneuve would pass into. Do you remember that interview that Kurt Busch gave one time and he used the salty, He used the words. This was a different one. He used the words in a live TV interview, premature ejaculation.

Ew, what? You didn't see that? I don't remember that. I really felt like that's what Clements was shooting for. Literally. I felt like that's what this guy was shooting for with two to go. So spot on for the entertainment factor. Spot on for Jeremy Clements winning a race.

I had no idea that he almost... So can we call that the money move? Happy ending He ended up Jeremy Clemmy's to the inside He won the race Man how entertaining was that Your faces is red in your shirt

Because I'm tickled f***less right now Kristen That was funny I can't believe y'all didn't see that interview It was on live television When? Like four or five years ago Spot on spot off

Ryan Reid runs into just about everything At Road America Spot on keep it up Is this a rated RAP? podcast today. Can we... Explicit. Yeah. How does this guy even get home from the airport? How does he get to the shop? Who picks him up? Who drives him around? Hey, Ryan Reed is a good plate racer. He's won Daytona.

Two out of the last three years or two years in a row? Two years in a row? No, he won it two out of... Two out of the last three? Yeah, so he's a good plate racer. He's a learning oval racer. My man needs to take it easy on the road courses. He's just He was a new Brennan pool. What are you talking about? What about the ovals? He was the new Brennan pool. He's not much better on the ovals.

What can we call Ryan? If we got the bull, then we got the what? The horns. We calling him the horn. The hammer. I don't think we should call him the hammer. I think we should call him something else. Battering ram.

It's a little long. I like Ryan Reed. Nothing against him if he was sitting right here. He was just in the freaking way. You hit every damn thing. I mean, here's the reality of this race. Yes, Jeremy Clements wins. Yes, this Matt Tiff guy was racing for the win.

But the only reason that happens is because the people in the fastest cars were idiots. The 42, ridiculously fast, wrecked about 14 times. 20. The 18. I'm sorry, the 20. I don't know where that guy's like Australian or something. He hit everything but a kangaroo. Okay.

This guy. kept hitting stuff over and over and over the 22 okay this guy is actually a really good road racer the cindic kid can't race the oval to save his ass yet but but he's a good road racer he has a chance to win what does he do he just keeps hitting stuff like fast cars are going fast just as they always do but the people driving them can't drive very unfortunate how that's the product of them races though that's why they're entertaining it's like it's short track it is there's a lot A lot of opportunity to screw up. There's 14 corners, four miles, and boy, did they screw up.

Road courses are the new short tracks because this is where we get the ringers. Like short track, when you go to South Boston, you got a, you got a Burt and you got somebody else in there from that area that would a local short track champion that would show up. When you went to Myrtle Beach, you got Robert Powell, you got these other guys that would run in them races and stuff and be competitive, and they wouldn't care because they don't have nothing to lose. Right.

I'm winning or reckon, one or the other. So that's what they did the reckon. They did. I'd like to see Josh pre-race with that leather jacket he just showed us a picture of. I'd like to see him walk out on the grid in a driver's suit. In Darling Tim, it's 82 degrees. Yeah, with a smoking Joe's the camel. Smoking Joe the camel leather jacket on.

You should wear that for Halloween. And I honestly, I think he could have got in the 22 car and the 20 car and done a better job than what those two guys did. Well, I don't know about that. I think he could have. You imagine Josh and that jacket. He'd have to have a moon roof for his head to stick out of it, but he'd have been faster. Imagine Josh and just the jacket and cowboy boots for Halloween. He's not wearing pants?

I don't know. Now you're painting a weird picture. He said just a jacket. Why didn't mean that? Only TJ would want to see Josh. Just a leather jacket. Just want to see that butterfly tattoo on his back again. Oh, God, that's coming back.

Spot on, spot off. Chase Elliott and Ryan Blaney attended the Belgian GPF one race. Spot on to me. That's awesome. They get to go. They do a lot of fun stuff. A lot of stuff that I've never been to a Formula One race, and I would love to see one one day.

So I'm gonna wear that on the grid Yeah You gotta tweet that picture out after the show You gotta tweet it after the show now If you don't were hacking your phone Yeah Dude Brett Griffin went to Road America So that's better than an F1 race

I mean it's good for them guys I mean they probably had fun They probably were having cocktails All weekend and I was working So good for them I did uh You had a cocktail on the plea Ryan did uh

I've had one off week since February How many of you had? 13, 14? All of them. You signed up for this. I was voluntold to go to this weekend. So, hey, that road course. Typical Elliott fashion.

Hey, Brett, I need you to go to Road America. Okay, night before the race. Hey, are you still coming? Yeah, you asked me to come. Well, I didn't know if you were coming because they're calling for rain. So I'm just going to cancel because they're calling for rain? He knows you. Dude, if I say I'm doing something, I do it.

I don't change plans. I'm a giver. One thing about that Formula One race, I was asking Ryan, because I didn't see anything that he was there. And then I text him, and I'm like, are you there? He writes back, yeah. And I'm like, man, it looks awesome there because it's got that, what do they call that corner there? U-Rouge or whatever. I don't know.

Yeah, well, it's real famous or whatever, but he's right, he's like, yeah. Are Belgian people hot? I don't know. Where's Belgian at? Belgium. Belgium. Well, they're Belgian. Belgian.

The country is Belgium. It's where the headquarters of the United Nations is. Why is this not the Belgium Grand Prix? Because it's like American, but we're America. Get it? No, you're losing me. I don't leave America. So where the hell is Belgium?

It's next to France and Germany. There is a difference between Belgium and Belgium? Oh, my God. Are we having this conversation right now? No. The hell's the difference. We're not, I'm shutting this down. Why is there a different letter at the end of this thing?

I live in America. They speak Portuguese? I am American. I live in Belgium. I am a Belgian. So why wouldn't it be the Belgium Grand Prix? Oh, my God. What do these people speak of it?

Spot on. I just want to know what language they speak. Portuguese, Dutch. We speak French. Dutch? I heard Dutch and French. Dutch any language, is it? Oh, my God.

Is it? Okay. I got to get out of here. I'm getting dumber. They speak French in Belgium. Do you speak French? I used to. I was a French major.

Say a little bit. Let's hear some. Polys. Say what? I don't know. Come on. Anything you remember? Where are you from?

Jean-Cose-Pas. That's not. real words. Sounds rich. Parley Vu is French as hell. Bonjour. Jamapel Brett. Oh, my brain hurts.

Jean-Mapel is Brett. That's right. Bonjour. Bonjour. See? I know the hell of some French. Bonjour. I'm not a French kiss.

Okay. Spot on, spot off. We've got to have fun with this show sheet is terrible. We're trying to make it good. Spot on, spot off, furniture row fielding the 77 card 2018. Boring. Boring question. Completely dependent on sponsor.

No, boring question. That is completely dependent on sponsorship. What else would it be dependent on? Boring question. Who can we blame this sheet on? Natalie. Spot on, spot off. Richmond to host e-sports tournament with NASCAR Heat 2 video game.

They're going to have me spotting in that game. That's the only, that's spot on for that. NASCAR Heat did a phenomenal job of the graphics of this game. And the app is fun to play if you don't have it on your phone. My best friend just quit NASCAR and went to work for the video game company. 7-0-4-14. Yeah, 7 of 4 sports. Yeah.

So the Ed Martin guy that is running that project used to be our EA sports contact when EA sports had a really. Did you ever play the NASCAR Heat game that was four player that you'd go to Talldegg and Daytona draft and it was like so fun. Oh, like a long time ago? Like 2004? Yeah, that was fun. That was the best NASCAR game, video game ever made for TV. It was pretty, uh, dirt to Daytona and NASCAR Heat were pretty fun when they first came out. Yeah.

They were pretty good. Good stuff. I am, although I will be spot off on this because I'm a big eye racing guy, and I'm more for the realistic version of NASCAR racing. Good comment, TJ. We know that eye racing gives you money and free shit. You can just say. Well, that's what NASCAR Heat does to you.

Well, they do. That's why I love them. I will say spot on to hosting an esports tournament because those are getting really popular and it gives kids something to do. Going after that demographic. That's good. Yeah, I agree with that. All right, we're going to take a break, yo.

It's at Exaltor Racing, a must follow for any Dale Jr. fan. All right, we're going into Fast Lane. I'm going to give TJ and Brett a topic to debate. I'm going to alternate who responds first. Brett's going first. And each of you will get 30 seconds to voice your opinion, and then whoever responded first. Yeah, okay. Come on.

Darlington will have a little bit of 30 seconds. host a free can Friday where fans can exchange an empty monster can for a Friday ticket. What? What do you think of this marketing strategy

and what are some other new and unique ways that tracks can engage with fans? Kristen, you have to and a question that's this long, you have to take some breaths so that we have time to comprehend what you're saying.

Well, the question's so lame, I just wanted to get through it. There's a free can Friday and then you get a free ticket for Friday. Sounds like freaking Friday. Let me tell you something about Friday. The only thing going on

in Darlington on Friday is practice. Are we talking about practice? And it might not even practice looking to that forecast. You might get a free can for a rain shower. So, I mean, I kind of get what they're trying to do here, but I would rather, and I mean, look, let's be honest, and I know

this 30 seconds, and this is probably not the time to do it. But with everything that's going on right now in Houston, why don't we do something to help them people? Agreed. Instead of, instead of bring a free can and get a free ticket to watch practice.

Why don't we do something at the racetrack? Why does a NASCAR launch an initiative? Why don't teams launch an initiative? And let's do something to help these people in Texas because they're getting killed, man. I mean, it's bad. We've never seen a storm do what this storm's doing. I feel bad for them.

I watch it and this breaks my heart. I mean, so if you're going to do something, let's do something around that. I mean, just open the gates. I think there's something bigger, a bigger picture that we could do as a NASCAR community rather than just, you know, the free can. I like the idea of giving a can.

I mean, it might give somebody that may not have been a race fan a chance to come to the racetrack. Hey, son, let's take our cans. Let's go over and check these race cars out. They might come back Saturday and Sunday. I think it's a good idea, but I think there's like, it'd be nice to... Let them on the infield then.

Whatever. Let them in the pits. Either way, yeah. Oh, yeah, let them in the pits. Why wouldn't you? It's just practice. Nothing goes on on pit road during practice. We need to keep...

We need to keep hammering this out because eventually if we keep... the dinger question anymore. The question was so bad. We're trying to make it. We're making up for your show sheet. It's not Josh's fault. We need to go back to the, let's put all the, let's put the podium on the front stretch. Say shit real fast.

Show sheet. Hey Matt, hey, Darleton's close to the, the fans are close to the racetrack there. Seriously, though, let these people on pit road with a free, with an empty can. Imagine putting the top three Sunday night, Saturday night. I'm serious. There's nothing. The can is stupid. Listen to me, the only crew guy.

The only crew guy that goes on pit road during practice is the tire guy. Nobody else goes out there. The drivers aren't out there. The crew chiefs aren't out there. I don't know. Booty Barker's out there a lot. Booty goes out there. But literally, put the fans that close.

Let them come stand on pit road. They're going to get hit. No, they're not. Their head's not on a swivel. You know, hey. If we keep hammering us, we might get it, though. We need to do a podium on the front stretch after the race. on them fans right there at Darlington after the race.

They're close to the track there, aren't they? Close. I sat there in college and a piece of rubber flew off car and it busted my nose. Yeah, you want to put the fans closer. Did you know that you can be intoxicated but you can't be, what is it? We were reading, Darlington has a code of conduct and you can be intoxicated but not intoxicated in an irresponsible manner.

Let me show you all something about South Carolina. Oh, boy. this is not something I'm proud of. It's certainly not something that I'm suggesting. Have you said this a lot in your life? But this is from Pagland, South Carolina. That's right. We go through Pageline.

Chesterfield County, South Carolina woman, caught on camera, drunk, driving a school bus. I saw that. She blew an alcohol level of 0.31, right? She blew a 0.31. They found many bottles in her pocketbook, one of which was empty. Were there kids on the bus? Yes, five. kids were on the bus.

She, can you, why is this not, like, this should be on CNN or something? Do we need them things in the school buses now to start? Like, it's, you got a blow in them? Unfortunately, this is my hometown, and I'm really, I mean, last year we found 10,000 guns in Pageland, South Carolina. Man, it's the damn watermelon festival. It's that damn, the damn watermelon festival. It's, uh, it's just a bad deal.

Look, look at that, she's driving this bus. What's the music that that person is like? Well, this is my homeboy named Eugene as following her. Eugene was jamming out. He didn't want to turn the music down. She's all over the road on this bus. Poor kids. Thank God they stopped her.

And when they opened the door, she fell out. They arrest her? No, they let her go. Did they arrest her? They gave her a ticket and let her drive home. Yeah. She's going. Oh, my gosh.

Anyway, Code of Conduct, Darlington. What is it? You can be intoxicated. You just can't be intoxicated and being, like, responsible and swearing and stuff like that. So the David Pearson Grandstands has the stands where the steps where they go down and they circle and they go back the other way. I fell all the way down one time.

You were on the other side of that. I was on the wrong side of that coat of conduct. You were on the wrong side of it. It wasn't leaving the spot of stand there. When you got home after that, did you? No, Josh. I'm a professional. After making it to the champion.

When's the last time you threw up, Josh? Last night? No, not last night. When's the last time you puked from drinking? I don't really remember. See? Like Tahoe? When's the last time you puked?

No? I get sick a lot. Not from drinking. I'm allergic to everything. TJ sent me a picture one time of him at Key West, and I know he threw up that night. Oh, is that, yeah, I definitely threw up that night. That was a handful years ago, though. I don't even know.

Why is your pocket out of your pants? I don't know. Is it mesh? That's where my phone was. It is mesh. After making it to the championship race in two of the last three years, Joey Lugano will need to win at Darlington or Richmond to make the playoffs. Great job.

Why has the number 22 teams struggled so much this season, T.J. TJ should have some great insight. I think that company struggled as a whole. I think they've struggled as a whole there. Brad had speed early in the year, and he hasn't had it quite as much lately here either. This couch is really comfortable. Whatever they had, NASCAR kind of slapped them on the wrist or whatever with that swerving deal, reset and everything. Whatever that, to me, that's when it kind of slowed them down.

Yeah, I think it slowed to forge down as a whole. And Joey obviously had a win. It was an encumbered win, so he can't count it. He's out of it in terms of points. This guy's right. Whoever wrote this question, he has to win. Why have they struggled? I don't know.

Good question. So coming down, what are we? got two races left to darling to richmond so who are you battling i just got to win i can't i can't get in on points so the the last for me to get in on points mac kensis got to take a crap what if he has what if he gets in a wreck of darlington it had to be that one like me it's a lot of points what if he comes out of darlington 35th it's a lot of points okay but you know how it is man i mean these stages now if matt has a couple good stages over the course of the next two weeks like he can get 18, 20 points out of two stages.

Like, man, it's a different deal, you know. But anyway, okay. Put that same enthusiasm as I'm into this next essay, you're getting ready to read, because this next question is an essay. This is a paragraph. For a driver outside the top 16 to make the playoffs, it will require a win in one of the next two races.

This differs from other years when the end of the regular season featured many tight points battles all the way up to Richmond. Does the importance placed on winning make the end of the regular season as exciting? Or should points play a bigger role? Who the hell wrote this question? I'm sorry, can you repeat that? I just spit up myself. Can you repeat that?

This is boasts. Brett, you have 30 seconds to figure out what to you just. It took you two minutes to read the question. I forgot it. It's a lap at Road America. We're sick. Go to the next one. We just talked about that anyway.

The reality is, the emphasis is on winning. And people took a lot of chances to win races. There are several guys in this playoff. I think TJ will agree with me for a change. There are several guys in this playoff, to be quite honest with you, that don't perform well enough to really be in this championship conversation. But they are because they gambled.

Look at Austin Dillon. The first week without his crew chief slugger Labby, he wins the race on strategy. And this guy hadn't run top 10 since. He rode off into the sunset after Charlotte. I mean, yeah. He's gone. It's just crazy how you, but this guy's in the championship coming.

He's going to beat. Same thing with Newman. We saw Newman stay out at Phoenix, hold a couple guys off, and then. Same deal. It just, I mean, there's a few people in this playoff because they win and they're in. That's kind of been the way the first round of the playoffs has went. The first round of playoffs is really pretty easy for good teams. Yeah, but I think the reality is the question, the way it was set up is we've generally

going into Richmond with excitement of two or three guys. Who's going to make it in and who's going to get kicked out? Because there's, believe it or not, after 26 races, 12 points separating three guys. It happens. And now the points aren't even in conversation. They're not going to matter. It's going to be got to win. But let's just look at it.

20 years ago, they were hundreds of points apart. Not even going to matter. First and second. A lot of years. Oh, they were two races apart. Yeah. So we were, you know, that's just how it is. share with the people that have won.

We all know the rules, when in your end. So if you points race, you're gambling. And honestly, it's probably made, when you do this, you're going to have better races

throughout the year. You're going to have these guys, Austin, Dillon, Ryan Newman. They're going to win races because of this, but because we're going to have better races, but less closer points deals. Yeah.

So, yeah, I think it's good, in my opinion. The NASCAR throwback Southern 500 at Darlington is this weekend. What elements of the weekend are you looking forward to most and what is your favorite throwback?

came in the field. I feel like we talk about throwbacks all the time. Also, never mind. Just go. TJ, you're first. I think my favorite part of the weekend is just a tradition part of it. Darlington has found a niche here that's really cool and they keep doing it. It seems to get better and better every year.

I don't think we've maxed out the potential of it yet. It'd be really cool to just take, you know, do things like they used to do it back of the day. I know we're getting closer and closer and people are going further and further. So like, your car was hand-lettered one year, wasn't it, with Clint? It was. It was awesome as last year. How awesome would it be if they were all hand-lettered? It would be cool.

Yeah. I didn't make it up. He said it on live TV. See? Gross. I think the coolest part about the Darlington weekend is the Xfinity race. It's 147 laps. This is a track where you got to race the racetrack.

You got to be smart. But that little short window makes you run. race your butts off. I love that race. You think that's a short race? Heck yeah, it'll be over an hour and 15 minutes an hour and half. I thought that's a lot. Oh yeah, you wait till the Southern 500 run. No, that was off. This will be the longest race of the year. I was about three years ago, I was sick for this race for the 500. And that is the not, that's the last race that you want to be sick for. I don't, I'm not even sure I wash half the race with, I have my head down, about to throw up half the time. So that's, it's, it's a long race. You can

literally go from 25th to 7th back to 30th, back up to 4th. I mean, you're going to swap so many times. Exfinley race is phenomenal. You just wait until you see how fast and how great this race is on Saturday. I'm ready for it if it doesn't rain. Is there a tropical storm coming? Yes, Irma. Irma.

Who named something Irma? I don't know. Someone did. What an idiot. Irma? The off-the-wall topic is about the fight. Is that a Belgian name? Belgian.

Is it a Belgium waffle or a Belgian waffle? Did Belgium create waffle? Floyd, Mayweather, and Connor McGregor fought each other on Saturday night. With Mayweather coming out on top to remain undefeated, when it's the last time you remember a sporting event earning so much attention. Well, the last time Floyd fought? Let me tell you what I think about this fight. You tell us, Brayette.

When you look at a sport, like boxing, it's a discipline of fighting. and people thought that an MMA fighter was going to be able to come in here and box with a boxer. It wasn't going to happen. Not the best boxer in the world. Just like Mayweather can't go MMA fight with Mayweather. If you're a tap dancer and I'm a ballet dancer and Josh is a jazz dancer and T.J. is a strip dancer.

If we have a strip dancing contest, T.J. is going to win it. I don't want to see it. Because that's his discipline. If we took racing and we took all these different forms of racing, sprint cars and late models and Cup cars and Xfinity cars and trucks and F1 cars. Like if you had a guy that all he's ever done at that particular arena as South Boston Speedways run late models

and you went and put Lewis Hamilton against him, that late model guy is going to beat him. Like you can't put a guy outside of a discipline in another guy's area of expertise and expect him to win. It's not when they're the best. It feels making the punter an offensive lineman. Good luck. They're going to mow them over.

And they did. But I mean, what is the last time I remember our sporting event with this much attention? you know obviously the super bowls every year get a lot of attention but i got to say man mike tyson came out of prison and he bit that dude's ear off holy field holy field around 96 or 97 and i was about although i will say the fight was better than most people thought it was well yeah because floyd stood there for three rounds didn't throw a punch and let the guy wear himself out and then he toyed with him for three and then he beat the piss out of him because he

had to make his bet you see where he tried to bet a 400,000 dollar bet you see where he tried to bet a 400,000 And he only got 87,000 bet. Yeah. So that's the way. But I think he made 300 million. I don't. And he made 300 million at Connor McGregor made 100 million. I've watched all of,

I've watched all of Mayweather's fights, his last handful of fights, and they're all the same way. He comes out. He dances around. I will say he took more shots this time than I've ever seen him take. But it's typical Floyd fight. I mean, he just danced around and let the other guy swing quite a bit and then destroyed him. So Floyd's not a flashy boxer. He's just really, really good.

He's really smart and calculated. He kind of reminds me of Brad. Just kind of really, really smart, just kind of, you know, very calculated and what he does. A lot of people don't think Brad's really, really smart. Well, he's very calculated. Let's put it that way. I'm just telling you. I'm not saying I'd believe that.

I've been around a lot of people that they don't agree with that. Well, he's very, very, he is a very smart guy. But, you know, Floyd's fights aren't. Do you think he knows the difference? between Belgian and Belgium. Probably. Good. I'm sure he does, actually.

Yeah, anyone knows the difference. Well, he's a Kozalowski, so he's not... Yeah. He's probably born there. He was probably born there. Yeah. Where's Poland? Oh, my God, I can't do this anymore.

Next to Greenland? Where is Poland? Really? By Iceland? It's near Russia. See, that's close. Oh, so he was in on that whole election-rigging thing. What an idiot.

Help! All the... Brain cells are leaving the studio. What brain cells? Producer Jason Schultz has chosen a few hashtag ask DBC questions to ask Brett and T.J. today. I hope it's not about Belgium. At Stu Crew 14 asks, who gets the least amount of time off on an off week? What? Who gets the least amount of time off on an off week?

How much did you get off only off week? My, I have five days off. How many do you have? I don't really consider. It wasn't my off week. I don't consider these days off. There's not a lot of sleep going on. They're not really off.

Because you have to do an hour podcast. This question is who. I am more off when I go to the racetrack. This question that Stu Crew is asking is who works the most on an off week? Probably the crew chief. Yeah, I would say the crew chief. I'm in the shop. I still have a handful of work to do because they still got cars to get ready.

Yeah. But overall, probably the crew chief or just a regular shop guys. It's not an off week for the regular shop guys that don't travel. You know, the non-traveling guys probably have it a little harder this week. IT department. Man, they're just working. My email's broke. I mean, we travel one IT guy per team.

Does Xfinity travel? No. No. Cup travels one. Like our engineers can fix stuff. Right. They're kind of IT guys. Speaking of it.

Like our cable or satellite went out, so it all fixed it. A printer right there. There goes the IT guy. Yeah. Yeah. We've got, that was perfectly keyed up. Cup teams travel one IT guy per organization. Yeah, we got a bunch of.

Yeah, we don't have that. You just find someone. At KSCO2S, on a level of 1 to 10, how good are the bars, beer, and food in Wisconsin? Well, I had cheese curds after stage one. So how are they? They were awesome. Okay. So they were good.

I did not have a beer. Although Kristen snuck me a cocktail on the plane. Actually, Shana did. Shana did. Shana snuck me a cocktail. She made me a Bloody Mary. She let me taste it. Damn.

She could ask me the questions in. She wouldn't have to email me. Her mom is from, she's from Wisconsin and Alaska. But her mom and stepdad were there and they brought her Bloody Mary mix. Saw her buddy Ben Brust. He was there. Yeah. He was spotting, won't he?

He was. He was spotting from Brindon. Yeah. And he's moving. He's looking to move back to Madison, Wisconsin. Yeah, he's told me that. He's a good kid. man.

Yeah, he's super nice. It's not a kid anymore, T.J. He's out of college. He's 15 years younger than us almost. You're a cougar. At M. underscore Barboni asks, what do spotters usually do when their driver is behind the wall for several laps? Do you usually watch the race or leave the spotter?

We're behind the wall too. We're actually not happy because you know the rest of your day is literally just logging laps. And I mean, man, it's not. It's a very morbid situation. Mr. Barbon. Yeah, it's not fun. You're going to be... Barbon.

You don't want to be in the way. Look at this guy's name. Barboni? Is it Barboni? I don't know. How do you know it's Barboni? There's no E. You speak to me any languages.

What is his first name? My... My Barbonne? At Isaac Pysik. Pysik asks, what happened to this podcast? We're going to lose all of our listeners. What are the best and worst purchases, y'all? have made.

For Brett, try to list something other than a vacation at Myrtle Beach. Our best purchases? What's your best purchase, Josh, you've ever made? That butterfly tattoo. So lame. Oh, man. Man. What's your worst purchase, Kristen?

A pair of beats headphones that I thought were wireless and they're not. And you have to keep them charged at all time. So they're not just headphones. They were dead on the way home. I was really mad. I know. They last like 12. to 15 hours.

Yeah. You know what I don't like about my beats headphones like that is they don't cancel all the noise out. And they're noise canceling. Like I'm trying to watch a movie on a plane and all I hear the engines. I hear you, bro. I was ticked about it. And I'm like, turn to my movie up.

And I'm like, I can't hear this movie. I'm pinching my ears together. I need this headset that we have on here. What's your worst purchase, Josh? I don't know. I have to think about it. Hmm. What's your best purchase?

Puppies? Hell no, not this one especially Kyleo He's a rat man He's sitting there all sweet and nice Because he got his nuts cut off last week He's depressed This guy has been the biggest pain in the ass

The last week That I've ever Castrated this dog With a rubber band Ew They just fall off And then he can't run for a week Yeah, he can't run

There's some other things he can't ever do again Nope He can't do that Kurt Bush thing Did I get your dog fixed? Do I get my what? Your puppy Not yet. Do they have to be a certain age?

Yeah. I mean, well, not really. The females are supposed to go through one of those things. I don't know what you call them with dogs. They have to go in the heat one time. Oh, right, right.

I mean, I don't think you call a dog's thing as period, do you? Right. Do I look like a vet? Do you? Do you? I don't know, man. I really don't know. It's by far one of the worst shows.

I really don't know. Back to the question. I'm going to a dog tamper. How did the best and worst purchase turn into a dog having its period? The best, I got to say my best purchase was my crotch rocket rocket in college. That was fun to ride. You still have it? Nope.

And my dirt bike just got stolen last week in Greenville, South Carolina by some. God, I'm mighty. I wish I could get that guy. You sure wasn't a bus driver? Well, we'll find a dirt bike somewhere. Craigslist. Worst purchase? Probably my big ass saltwater aquarium in my house.

It is a pain in my ass since I moved. Hmm. 220 gallons for anybody wants to just come get it. I'll probably say for free. I could buy two kias for what I got in that damn tank. Two kids? Kias. Oh, Kias.

I could sell two kids and still have one left. I would probably say the worst purchase, it's still pretty cool, but it was dumb. I bought a drone and I've flown it like five times and that's it. Like I want a one really bad that now I'm so afraid I'm going to crash it that I don't even fly it. Jonathan Davis style. Yeah, it's exactly like that. He's actually part of the reason I bought it. Oh, that's a badass drone.

You should buy that one. Okay, I'll get this one. I don't even know if I float it five times. They're expensive. Yeah, you want to buy one? They're awesome. I'll trade you my fish tank for your drone. Hell no.

Is there a shark in it? No, there's 220 gallons. of water, a bunch of rock, fish, corals. Rotten fish? Dude, the lights on the damn thing were $750 a piece. Why did you buy it? I thought it would be really cool. And it was in my old house.

But after we moved it, we just... How did you move that thing? I didn't. I had somebody move it. But still. After we moved it, it's been a pain in my butt. Oh, my God. I got one fish that'll kill you.

It's poisonous. We have a fish tank, and there's a fish in there that eats all the gross stuff. Yeah. Like a sucker fish? Yeah. We had a possum problem last night. We had a possum. Can you show them the video?

It's great. All you got to do, the possum is walk up to them because they play posse. Yeah, they roll over dead then. And then you hit them in the head with a shovel. Wow. It's this possum was eating the cat food. Yeah, because they're hungry. So then.

Oh, yeah. If you don't have a shovel, though. And he got his bow out. Oh, you can't shoot a bow and a arrow. Well, he did have a pellet gun, but then he got super. mad. Is it a crossbow, by the way? I'm not going to lie.

That looks a little aggressive for a possum. He got so pissed. Is that on the water? Your cat wasn't even, your cat was just hanging out? Our cat thought it was another cat. Well, how do you know the cat's not friends with the possum? They are.

So you're going to kill us. You were going to murder his friend. I was more afraid that he was actually going to kill one of the cats with a bow. So we brought him back inside. I settled him down. You always hit a possum with a shovel. in the head. I don't think we have a show.

I don't, no, I mean, the bow is a little aggressive to me. That's terrible. I mean, damn, why don't you just walk up to it? If you hit it with a shovel, it just makes him crazy. It's a posse. It's not a bear. Tell you what, if that thing had rabies, he went out there barefooted like that, it tore his toes up.

I'm not going to lie. He's like you, too. He loves his mandals. Yeah. I kind of wish that thing, if he did hit it with that bow, would have turned around and got a piece of that toe. I mean, damn, a bow? It's a possum.

I know. I told you. He started with a BB gun. Possums got teeth. And it didn't scare him. You know what? As soon as we're on our corner, I got to go see Alan. I got this big ass frog outside of my house.

I'm going to see him over and get his bow out. Shoot it. Yeah, let's get, Alan. How good a shot of you, man. I got his big toad out here. Every time I turn his lights on it shows up. Did he kill it? No.

It got away. We have a raccoon, too. But we just shoot that with a baby gun. Raccoons. Mean, man. Raccoons, man. Y'all mess around. You all mess around get some rabbit up animals over there.

You're going to be in a mess. We're sending them over to your house. They're crazy. Right over the lake. I'll tell you what, we got mosquitoes that are biggest bats right now. I just called a guy and I was like, man, how much to come spray for mosquitoes? How much? I got a guy, 40 bucks.

Mine's 27. All right. You guys need to pick your hashtag DBC picks. Do I got anybody left? Yes, you have Corey Lajoy. Oh, the Galdashian's back. He's back in there. Jeffrey Earnhardt.

Holy. I got a good. I got a bunch of good ones. Yeah, I don't. Paul Menard. Trevor, Trevor Bain, don't run good there. If you're the wall.

Cold quit. I'm going to, is Elliot running? Nope. Kenny? That's a good race for Elliot, man. That's a good track for. You survive, race smart. He won last year.

He's good there. We did win there last year. Do you remember that buddy of his that shut up Victory Lane with no shirt, no shoes on with cut off Blue G's shorts. No service. And I'm like, this is literally a throw by Victory Lane. Look at this guy. This guy is as rough as you can get.

Show was. Did you see him? In Victory Lane? Yeah. No. We were trying to manage the chaos. I was like, Will, who is this guy? He's like, oh, he's Elliot's buddy.

I was like. Will brought a cooler. No shirt, no shoes. He was actually friends with Elliot? No service. He wasn't one of our sponsors They should interview They should interview Elliot about that

All right TJ we bought your time Who you got? You know I'm going to have to go with A guy that's probably going to take some chances Paul Menard Paul Monard I'll give you a chance this weekend I'll go with his teammate Ryan Newman

That was going to be my other I mean it was one of them two is what I was going to pick Yeah I think Newman's good there I would have picked Elliot if he was running In a cup car Yeah I mean, the thing is we have some people left or I do. I had Austin Dillon to pick from.

I had Newman to pick from. Those are equal. Ty Dylan. Matt, but I did that. I still got him left. I think he's Belgium. You got Timmy MF and Hill. Timmy Hill.

Could you imagine? Timmy, you're better whacking the toolshed. Hey, how about that Jeremy, Jeremy Clement's story? Did you guys see where he got his arm cut off? Yeah. That was a dirt racing. Yeah, that was a dirt late model. The drive shaft came up through the...

Yeah. What? When? He got... You know how it happened? Yeah. Yeah. Tell a story.

Well, he got... It came up through the bottom of the car. Just all wrapped up. And it separated him. About ripped it all the way off. Oh, that's disgusting. When? Yeah.

Twelve years ago. Yeah, it's been a while. But he has full use of his arm and his hand. Yeah. Yeah. But he's had 12... Yeah, a lot of surgeries. Holy.

So what I thought was funny. They sewed his arm to his side for skin grass. For skin grass. for skin to grow back to it. Like, I had no idea. I just saw the special this week. He's from South Carolina. And it was like a real good dirt racer, which I knew that.

But I had no idea that he almost lost his car. He was a badass in Dirtley Mall. I've seen him, I've been to a couple of races. What I think he missed the boat on here is what happened the last Bristol race, the spring Bristol race with him? You remember? Yeah, you got in a fight with the Watermelon King. Yeah, I was.

I was right by the car for that. Over a girl. Yeah. Over a girl. Being from South Carolina, won a race. Takes a big shop photo with all those teams. Why are they not sitting there eating watermelon? Yeah.

Just throwing it out there. You know, you should really be a PR strategist, T.J. Just sitting there, hey guys, this is our victory watermelon. You missed the show where he's trying to be a PR guy. He wants to go to the NHL. We had him an interview. Oh, yeah. We're going to switch.

I was here for that. Josh was here. Washington Capitals. Washington Capitals were in. reviewing T.J. for a PR job. They called me and turn them down. I'm sure that's how that went. They said, hey.

It's a little harder than you think. They said, hey, can you take videos of the players coming out of the locker room onto the ice every week? Tweet them. Okay. I'm just kidding. Well, on that note,

thanks to one main financial. Thanks to Zalta. And no thanks to these two morons sitting next to the sofa. We apologize. We didn't have a lot of content this week because Cove was off. Trucks were off.

T.J didn't even go to the track. Kristen was drinking bloody Mary's on the plane. Show sheet. Shoshit. Shisho. Just another shisho. Hopefully. We did not do one thing to enter, I'm sorry, to educate these people this week.

Well, they now know the difference between Belgium and Belgium. T.J. doesn't. But hopefully we at least entertain. Belgium waffle. If Josh will tweet that picture out of him and all those jackets and that fire suit. You need to take all those pictures and put him, make a little collage and just tweet one picture of you and all of. Why do you have so many pictures in leather jackets?

We need to take that has all those. We need to take one of those old fire suits that we no longer use and let Josh cut it into a romper and wear it at the race track. Wow. That would be hilarious. That would be funny. Awesome. With a leather jacket on. For this weekend, throwback weekend.

Shave the beard, leave the mustache. He did it tan first, his white-ass legs. Get some spray tan. with a spray tan. Josh be orange. Bleak your hair the same color. Jersey short orange, man. Look like Kristen's old hard card picture.

Oh, yeah, it looks like Snooky. Oh, really? NASCAR like, was it last year? My hard car picture, they like changed the filter on it, so I'm bright orange. They changed the filter on it. I was not that tan. I don't go tanning.

I don't think they filter that. Somehow I was distorted and I looked like snooky. If you're going to Darlington, go to Redbone Alley, go to Apple Anneys. Apple annies. You ever been to Appalannies? We're staying in Florence. That's where all these places are that I'm giving you.

I wouldn't send you to anywhere in Darlington. Because there is nowhere in Darlington. No, there's that place that has those triple X movie viewings that you can watch. Oh, hey, but you guys need to come out to... Is that J.R? The Bilo in Darlington, two miles from the racetrack to see Elliot Sadler, Justin Allgaar, William Byron, and Michael in Nett. And the Lady in Black and the Darlington Pace Car.

Is she hot? She's lovely. I don't know what her name is. Where is she from? She's from South Carolina somewhere. Does that kid work here? I hope she ain't driving. What was it?

I don't know. I don't think so. Tip of the week. There's our interiors guy. Don't get drunk, drive a school bus. Yeah, tip of the week. Yeah. Not to her.

Seriously, though, people in Houston, we love you. We're thinking about you. Yeah. Prayers to everyone in Houston. And to the person that stole the dirt bike. We're coming after you. Yeah. I like to find you.

I like to cast straight him. What if we're on the roof and you just hear that. It's wah, wah, wah, me look back there to somebody blowing by in your dirt bike. I'm leaving. Peace.
