Everybody else in here is freezing and Kristen's hot. It's hot on here. Although you guys are all wearing short sleeves and I have long sleeves on. And Kylo Ren is here.
Starting point is 00:02:11 Kylo has made the trip today. Josh is back from Boca Raton. Josh looks at me this morning. He's like, I'm never drinking again. He says that every morning. I need like a solid 30 days. Hey, I don't think we're staying at the casino, so you don't have to worry about it.
Starting point is 00:02:27 He goes, if we're staying, he's like, I don't want to stay at the casino this weekend. I don't want to drink. That'll change by Wednesday. By tonight, you'll change your mind. Bloody night football. Yeah. Go get you a bloody Mary and a blood like.
Starting point is 00:02:38 Nope. Corona. He was hurting this morning. What a puss. You got in at 9.30 last night? No. Yeah, like 930, 10. I literally went straight home.
Starting point is 00:02:52 I unpacked my bag and I went to bed. No TV, no getting some water. None of that. How many days? So I took Thursday off, so I was here Thursday. You drove? No. Hell no.
Starting point is 00:03:05 That's a terrible drive. Her parents did drive down there, though. They had a bunch of crap to bring. for the wedding. But it was all day, Friday, all day, Saturday, basically all day Sunday. Yeah. I didn't fly out until 7.30 p.m. Also, just to clarify, it wasn't Josh getting married.
Starting point is 00:03:23 Yes. Producer Amish Josh is still single, ladies, just so you know. If you DM me on Twitter, I'll give you his personal cell phone. Yeah, if you want to slide into Josh's DMs, just don't bring up alcohol for a day or so. If you want to get a drink with him. I need a week. He does not need a week. The way to Josh's heart is beef turkey.
Starting point is 00:03:43 He will be. I do love beat. Did you just spill that water? Yeah. I'm struggling, man. It's a struggle bus over here. He's trying to drink out of a bottle of water. It's not run out.
Starting point is 00:03:53 Shaking. Freaking. Fricing cold over here. Oh, man. Deflating. That was deflating. That was not. That sounded like a, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:04:04 A fire or something. I'm like terrible gas. So how was your weekend in Martin? Wait, where were you guys? I think Kylo's got cast. Yes. T.J. He fed her a pound of bacon. I think she to do it. Him. He too. He don't have balls. It's a shim. Let's see how good his nose is. Watch it. Yeah. I know how good his nose is at her. He just farted on everybody.
Starting point is 00:04:25 He's so cute. Oh, oh, bacon. Oh, man. New Hampshire. You got, yeah, New Hampshire. Man. I'm honest to God, I feel bad for New Hampshire. Namscha. Like, when I was a kid and I was traveling in the circus, I hated. going up there. You know, I don't know why, but I never really liked it, but I never really left the motorhome much either, you know, and now that I've been going the last few years, stay in Meredith, New Hampshire resort called Mills Falls, it's beautiful.
Starting point is 00:04:52 And I feel bad because we're not going back there, but once next year, like economically, that is a huge impact of that area because it's not like we're going into a city like Indy. We're going into Loudoun, New Hampshire, and it literally, we take every hotel and rental car for 50-mile radius of the racetrack. I mean, from Manchester to Meredith to damn near to Boston. Kind of good. Just the economic impact has got to be huge for that area, right? How is the weather this weekend?
Starting point is 00:05:22 Phenomenal. A little bit hot yesterday. Couldn't be better for the time of the year, though. No. Now, Friday was gorgeous. Saturday was a little warm. Sunday was hot, but I literally was looking around and going, man, I just kind of sad about this.
Starting point is 00:05:33 I'll tell you what, it was hot as hell in Bukkah, Tom. Yeah. A lot of old people, too. Actually, not really. Not at this resort. Not purple-haired ladies. Nope. I will say that.
Starting point is 00:05:43 There's some talent walking around there. Do you look for cougars when you're out? No, man. What's your age group? What do you look for here so we can get these DMs right? Hey, so speaking of homage. Legal to 40? Kristen, you're by far the most intelligent human in this room.
Starting point is 00:06:00 That's not saying much, isn't? No, it's not. But I come the back way to the track Sunday morning. I end up in Shaker Village. Oh. What's a shaker? What's a shaker? Is that like a swinger?
Starting point is 00:06:10 Or is it something different? I think it's a religious sect of... I know what a swinger is, but I don't know what a shaker is. I don't know. I'm not from New Hampshire. I know, but you're intelligent. Shaker. Did you stop?
Starting point is 00:06:23 No. I didn't want to shake a lot of a lot of shiggin going on. I think it's a religious sect kind of like the Amish or Mennonite, but I could be completely. It is. Okay. It was pretty. But I was like, I'm a shaker village. No power lines.
Starting point is 00:06:34 And I was like, what are the shakers do? I know what a Quaker is. What's a Quaker? I know what a Cracker is. It's a religious sect. They're huge in Pennsylvania. They settled Pennsylvania. Oh, they did?
Starting point is 00:06:45 They settled it. Are they still there? I'm sure there are. How old are they now? Hey, speaking of power lines, it was crazy going down to Florida and like seeing still like devastation. Really? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:56 Trees down. Yeah, trees down. Power lines down. Yeah. It's nuts. Yeah. I mean, we're heading to homestead in, I mean, seven, eight weeks. I got to imagine this still going to be.
Starting point is 00:07:06 crazy down there, right? But Homestead did issue that press really saying that everything's fine and they're ready. They had minimal damage and they're ready for the championship. I heard the track's okay. I heard most hotels are okay. I heard you can't find anything to eat. There's no restaurants are open. So pack your beef jerky?
Starting point is 00:07:22 Damn. Pack your beef jerky. Bring a sandwich. You think in seven weeks it'll be better? I mean, I don't know. So we're all eating at track. How about Del Jr's houses? He gets wiped out in the keys?
Starting point is 00:07:33 Everything that I know of, everything that I know of, everything fine there. Those houses in them streets are all so close together. Yeah. So they kind of all protect each other. And I don't think it got at the worst rate in Key West. So, I mean, I think the eye of it almost went directly over Key West. So it kind of saved it a little bit.
Starting point is 00:07:53 Right. But all the houses in there are so tight together. And I got a couple buddies down there. Same deal. Like their houses are hurt but not killed. Yeah. His is in the middle, you know, in the middle. So it's got a lot of surroundings and stuff.
Starting point is 00:08:06 So that's good But speaking of Loudon, that's a That bush you threw up behind that time Is it still there? Oh man I've thrown up so many times in T-U.S. There's so many landmarks for that. You know, I feel bad for those people up there
Starting point is 00:08:21 Because that's a great racing weekend. I look around and you see the campgrounds And there was a lot of campers there this weekend. Those people make a complete weekend out of it Because NASCAR gives them a complete weekend out of it. You get Saturday schedule you wake up to cup cars on the track in the morning. After that, you get to watch a little bit of qualifying for the trucks,
Starting point is 00:08:41 and then you watch cup cars again, and guess what? We race. Yeah, three or four races in one day. After that race is over. What do we do again? Race again. Hey, after that one, what are we going to do? We are racing again.
Starting point is 00:08:52 They race until it is dark. Yeah. And, you know, that is, those people can make a complete weekend out of that, and that's something I like. I feel like we starve them of some activity sometimes, so we do this knockout qualifying, but it's over quick, you know. That's a full family event weekend. They got trackside stuff going on.
Starting point is 00:09:12 They had Dell Jr. out there. Truex was out there. It's just a good weekend, man. The people love their racing up there. And, you know, I really like the racetrack. And I don't know, I just, I feel like it's a, I just feel bad for them. I feel it were 10 years ago, when I heard Vegas over New Hampshire, I'd be doing back flips. I'd be like, yeah, we're going back to Vegas.
Starting point is 00:09:32 But now that I'm in my 40s and I appreciate some other. finer things in life like lakes. Man, it's got to be a big impact to that area. It's got to be. Vegas is fine. It just sustained itself. I think Vegas will be fine. But I mean, let's face it.
Starting point is 00:09:49 We'll all go to Vegas and we'll have fun. Yeah, we will. And the good... Josh, you're not drinking anymore. I might be drinking by then. Arguably, the best news about us going to Vegas is you don't have to go back to Kentucky. Oh, man. Well, Josh and I didn't go to Kentucky this weekend either.
Starting point is 00:10:04 Y'all both thought. Josh wishes he went to Kentucky. No, Josh does not. Kentucky is in and of itself a bad situation. Listen, Kentucky was just starting to get good. Then they had the bright idea to repave the place, and now it just sucks. And then they had a brighter idea to put grip on the very bottom of the racetrack where there's already going to be grip. Wait a minute.
Starting point is 00:10:30 Wait a minute. You know what they said about that? I think we know what we're doing. No, you don't. You're idiots. complete idiots. And they did it again for this race. Just ran a little tire dragging right around the bottom.
Starting point is 00:10:41 We won last year. And they gave everyone in Victory Lane our whole team free trips to Marl Beach. Guess what I just found this weekend. Your coupon? I got mine too. I don't know what I did with it. You have to use it by October 31st. Oh, this year.
Starting point is 00:10:54 We got to go next week then. The Dirtle. We'll do the podcast on Monday from Dirty Myrtle. Not where they were shooting. It's a different place. Dirty Myrtle. Anyway, I just went to Dirty Myrtle a couple days with Freddie. We went to North Beach Plantation.
Starting point is 00:11:11 Yeah, that was a pile of fun. Did you go to Myrtle Waves? I was looking around in the adult pool, and for eight hours, I saw the same adults in the pool. And I was like, you think they're even getting out to go to the bathroom? Also. Because I hadn't got out yet. And I was like, I'm not the only one not getting out in this pool. You peed in the pool?
Starting point is 00:11:34 I think I might have. No, no. No, he did. So when we were down in Boca, Dave and I were sitting out on Saturday, and we were basically sweating all the night before out. It was so damn hot. And he was the guy that was getting married.
Starting point is 00:11:52 Yeah, and I was like, dude, I can't stand this. He used to work here. Yeah, he was in PR here. Yeah. So I got in the pool. And his soon-to-be father-in-law was in the pool. And I was like, yeah, L.A. doesn't want to get in. the pool. He says, man,
Starting point is 00:12:06 kids pissing that pool. And so his father-in-law starts calling him out in front of everyone. Yeah. He's like, Elliot! Come get in the pool! He finally got in, but he was so OCD. Where's this guy from? Because that accent you just tried to mock was like a weird accent.
Starting point is 00:12:23 Elliot! Elliot's very clean, too, Elliot May, Peart. He used to use all the towels in a hotel room. Because that accent, Josh just pulled out with me. His dad is from... Hampshire or Pittsburgh or what I don't know. Josh does two really good impressions.
Starting point is 00:12:39 One, Elliot Sadler and two, Martin. See, I don't think I do a good Elliot Sadler. Landon does does a little bit better than you, but you do a pretty good one. We got to hear it. You can do it now. You're not as pure guy. That's true. I did it even when I wasn't.
Starting point is 00:12:53 You can't punch in the face. We got to hear it. Punch me in the face emotionally. He actually did worse. He kicked you the balls emotionally. Yeah. He would always tell me last year, he'd be like, Josh Cole Will.
Starting point is 00:13:05 Tell him to come pick me up. What's your . What's your . Oh, love me smell at Tadler. What's the other one that Josh does? Martin, RIT guy from Germany. Oh, yeah. Let's hear that.
Starting point is 00:13:20 Did you get the zone for that one? Got to go into character. Yeah, he's, I saw where they put 100 million sticky notes in his office. Yeah, he was in Germany for two weeks. How did he get those down? I have no idea. The bunch of people helped out.
Starting point is 00:13:34 He took him down. Did you see the JRM 360 where they put sticking notes all over his office? That was awesome. The designs were nice. It was a colorful. It's a waste of paper. So if you're Martin, Josh, you walk into that office. Tree hugger, tree hugger.
Starting point is 00:13:48 What do you say? He'll say something like. No, yeah. He'll be like, oh my goodness. This is ridiculous. I'm going to have to go to the gym. Did you drink your protein this morning? Some of calisthenics.
Starting point is 00:14:07 Martin's so funny. He doesn't look like he frequents the gym. He comes in and he gets on the... So he just had shoulder surgery like five months ago. Uh-huh. So he gets on the elliptical. Looks like he gets on the golden corral. Martin plays...
Starting point is 00:14:20 He's actually really strong. You don't understand this guy. He played in the basketball league. He can't dribble. Oh, it's so good. He cannot dribble. But if you run into him, you are... You are done.
Starting point is 00:14:32 Like, you are hurt. So house. He does not. fouled out in 35 seconds. Three fouls. He doesn't, I mean, he will. He cannot dribble to save his life. I feel like he knows how to play basketball real well.
Starting point is 00:14:45 The last time. They didn't play basketball in Germany. The last time, the most fun I had was last time when Josh and Dale Jr. regarding each other and he's quite a bit taller in Dale Jr. So I would throw it. Josh is quite a bit taller than everyone. Other than Kristen. So I throw the ball down to Josh and he would just, he would, um,
Starting point is 00:15:04 just like plow over Dale Jr. into the ground every time. I just kept doing it because he kept going at it. I was sitting there thinking like, oh, God. Well, here was my theory. My theory was that everyone there didn't really play Dale Jr. hard because he's Dale Jr. So you took it above that.
Starting point is 00:15:23 So I decided that I was going to play him as hard as he played me. So he fell a couple of times. He knocked him down. I'd never seen Del Jr. and knock him down. But he talked to him up. Yeah, but remember he almost broke my ankle. Well, you shouldn't jump. You don't need to jump.
Starting point is 00:15:38 You're already tall. All right. You guys ready to go into spot-on, spot-off? No. Well, you're doing it anyway. All right, TJ. Yeah. Going first.
Starting point is 00:15:47 Spot on, spot off. Kyle Bush wins just his third career playoff race. Push it, Josh. Spot off. Spot on, please. Kyle Bush wins. Nope. I just want, blah.
Starting point is 00:15:57 Oh, Kyle Bush. What is this? That's my thoughts. He wins just his third coach. up playoff race. This is the first year of the playoffs. Oh, geez. And we've only run... Hey, remember that no one in this room made the show sheet.
Starting point is 00:16:12 We've only run two playoff races in the history of NASCAR. How has he already won three? He probably meant the chase. Yeah, the chase, man. That's the playoffs. This is the playoffs. They just changed the freaking name. Just go with it. Yeah, you're going to get over this one. Kyle Bush dominated this race. You know, I felt like it has been the past few weeks.
Starting point is 00:16:31 He and Martin were the class of the field. Martin got in a wreck, then Dale Jr. wrecked him after the wreck when he kept hitting him in the left rear, which was kind of funny. Try to take him out. And then Kyle wins. So, I mean, obviously, you know, you got to give those guys credit. There's no doubt right now the two cars to beat are the 78 and 18, period. The 78 is. Josh, this is not the thinger around.
Starting point is 00:16:52 78 is just so fast, man. It pisses you off how fast it is. He goes into the corner and he'll change lanes three different times in the same corner. You're lucky to go in there and run the same line twice. You know what I mean? Like, it's ridiculous how much faster. And he's better than the 18 right now. He is faster than the 18.
Starting point is 00:17:11 Kyle is a little bit more, is a little bit more aggressive and straight up. That's why Kyle, when that's running up front row, Kyle's more likely going to get the lead. But Martin is like a, he's like a damn wolf chasing him down. Like, it just, it's going to happen. Like, it just might take 30, 40 last, but here he comes. Right. And when he gets by you, you're done. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:30 It's annoying how fast they are. Toyota's across all the series are annoying. But here's the thing, TJ. We've got to look at this and we've got to be honest with our listeners. In the truck series, who commits the most from a manufacturing standpoint to that series? I mean, it's not even close. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, I know they put up.
Starting point is 00:17:53 What is Ford doing for Brad Caslowski? They're running them out of business. Nothing anymore. So they aren't doing nothing. So who's doing the most? Toyota with KBM. Who is doing the most in Exfinity series? Absolutely, Toyota.
Starting point is 00:18:04 They're getting more wind tunnel time. They're spending more money. It's just a fact. So then you get to the Cup Series, and it's like maybe they're learning things in these lower series that is transitioning into the Cup series. I definitely.
Starting point is 00:18:14 Well, I think it trickles down from the top to the bottom. Ford and Chevrolet and Toyota are all spending a pile of money in Cup, a pile of money, big money. But in these lower series, they're not. And maybe they need to go back and reinvest.
Starting point is 00:18:27 I feel like they have the best cars in the cup side, and that trickles down a little bit in Exfinity. I think it's trickling up, man. I mean, I know what you're saying, but I think it's trickling up from the trucks to Xfinity, the Cup. And I think it trickles back down too.
Starting point is 00:18:43 Yeah. I think to me, it just, if they find something on the higher side, like we're all, most of the investment goes into the cup side. That's where all the resources are. That's where all the, most of the knowledge is. When they find something little, something little in the Cup series is bigger in Xfinity. Who is the next Ford driver that Ford is investing in, right?
Starting point is 00:19:01 now. You can't name one. Who is the next Chevrolet driver that Chevrolet is investing in? You can't name one. Look at Toyota. They just brought up Suarez. They just brought up Eric Jones. They're bringing up Christopher Bell. They're investing in drivers. No other manufacturer can hang their hat on a guy right now. Remember when Ford invested all that money in Casey Kane? He was the guy. I think they do it differently than Chevy in them. No, I think Chevy goes to the teams and expects the teams to put the drivers in there that they think are the good guys. If I'm Bama Wallace and I'm
Starting point is 00:19:36 aligned with Ford and I can't find a job, Ford is going to help him get a job if they're doing it the Toyota way. The Ford way is to go, well, we're giving all our money to the teams. I hope somebody hires you. Toyota is not sitting back and taking that approach. The reason I say that is because if you look down through
Starting point is 00:19:52 the lower series and stuff, like if you go to like the Chili Bowl, you see guys walking around what Toyota uniforms on, like fire suits. You go to you go to a midget race anywhere. You go to a K&N race. You see guys in straight Toyota fire suits. Like, they're being brought up.
Starting point is 00:20:09 Now, the other manufacturer seems like they rely on the teams to pick the drivers and put them in there. And Toyota's basically taken there and picking people out themselves and saying this is who we want. Again, they're investing in lower series. In fire suits, apparently. And fire suits.
Starting point is 00:20:28 Spot on. Spot off. the big one at New Hampshire. There's a lot of smoke. T.J. can talk about it better than I can because I wasn't in it. Yeah. We slid right into it. So them ladies are all in Josh's DMs.
Starting point is 00:20:45 So what I was told is the three and the four made contacts. They definitely had made contact. And I don't know whose fault it was, but the four proceeded to spin out. Obviously by the time I saw it, there was a lot of smoke. And when you see it, a lot of smoke. Drivers can't see, spotters can't see.
Starting point is 00:21:03 What amazed me the most, though, was cars just kept piling in because typically in the Cup series with the level of drivers that you have and a level of spotters that you have, you don't see cars piling in four, five, six seconds after the wreck. And yesterday, we did.
Starting point is 00:21:18 Yeah, we spun out into it. We were coming off the corner and I told Doug Jr. to go low. The whole bottom to the track was pretty much clear, but he said as soon as he got on the brakes, like guys are going to slow down and they see accidents. We had so much rear brake down into our car that when he got on the brakes,
Starting point is 00:21:34 it just turned around on him. What could he see? He said it was a lot of smoke. He said it reminded him in Days of Thunder. That's exactly what he said. He said it was so much smoke. I've never heard him describe a wreck as much as like with smoke as he did that. And he said he literally could not see a thing.
Starting point is 00:21:51 Like here's, well, the four stood in the gas. When he got tapped and he knew he was spinning out, he stood in the throttle and looped around a couple times. think, and then came to stop. Well, that whole time he's looping it. Those tires are just, I mean, there was a lot of smoke. It was a ton. So that's, and Kurt Bush and these guys, they don't, Martin, they're not going to drive into Rex.
Starting point is 00:22:12 I mean, these guys are talented guys. They're driven into this one. How many cards did it take out? It took out three, but they injured another three or four. But Truex still came back to run third or fourth. I mean, that guys. The position on the racetrack where it happened is more the main thing. It was right in front of the leaders.
Starting point is 00:22:26 Yeah. So. Spot on, spot off. knows practice penalty. That was hilarious, his tweet. Visitation. My favorite thing of this whole situation, excuse me,
Starting point is 00:22:38 Dale Jr. tweeted the F word before 10 a.m. Who's ever done that? That's not, that's late for him now. He's an early bird. At 10 p.m. after a couple beers, you can kind of be like, oh, he's had a couple beers tweeting F word. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:51 At 10 a.m., he's tweeting, this is stupid. That was fucking awesome. And he was going after reporters. It was hilarious. You know, I go spot on for, you know, actually making somebody take away all their practice time. Look, if you're going to try the system this much, we're going to take away your practice time. But I'm spot off on how they handled it. If you don't want these guys, the penalty to me is the practice time on the track.
Starting point is 00:23:16 And, you know, if you don't want anything to be done, impound that car, sit it in a garage. And what else are you going to do? That's hurting them more than anything already. The driver didn't have anything to do with that car getting through, you know, inspection or whatever, but, you know, I agree with taking the track time away and being more severe about it. But some of these places, you know, Loudoun definitely is not one. But I don't want my guy sitting on pit road at a place like Atlanta or Texas or something. There's a small risk of somebody spinning out off the corner and, you know, not that they're really over good. You never know.
Starting point is 00:23:48 T.J's making all valid points. You know, we, yes, you have to do something. Taking away this guy's full practice was certainly a severe penalty. To have him go sit down there in his car is so, childish. I mean, really. He was put in the corner. You're in timeout. Yeah, we look pretty stupid on that deal. And then there's Mr. Pemberton back. Ryan Pemberton. We shouldn't
Starting point is 00:24:10 be sitting on the end of pit road in our cars for an hour when it's a 50-minute practice, Pemberton. You know that. These drivers make too much money to have to go through that. But my favorite part was his spotter stood on the roof the whole hour, too. For what? You don't
Starting point is 00:24:28 have to work. Go home. Go to the lake. Leave. You don't have to spot, bud. That was the funniest thing for me. That the spotter was up there. I think, uh, I saw a picture later. I think one of the funniest thing was is I saw a picture of, uh, I think his wife went out there. That's what I said. And he, she put his hand, she put her hand on the net. I did see that. And he tweeted a family visitation. Like he was in jail. It was hilarious. Why was the wind of net up? I don't even know. Oh, you have to if you're out there, I think. If you're on pit road, you can only take a What if he had driven it out there, got out, went to his bus, and came back and drove back. That's what I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:25:01 What if he would have just got out and started one over the wall and started signing an autographs for fans? What happens? I don't know. They might have looked through that as... It was dumb. Yeah. It was dumb. Spot on, spot off. Casey came to the 95 in 2018.
Starting point is 00:25:14 We're in the playoff, and we're talking about a guy sitting on the end of pit road. That's how dumb it was. That shouldn't even be the conversation. Casey came to the 95. I tried to get TJ to tell you all last week on the show. This was going to happen. I said, T.J. tell him where he's going. I'm not telling him.
Starting point is 00:25:29 You tell him. So then the next day, they have to find out, like, normal fans via a press release. Well, you know, good for Casey. Did you sign a confidentiality class? I can't answer that You know, I'm glad for Casey I don't For some reason I like the fit with Casey
Starting point is 00:25:50 In that team I feel like the pressure will be off him He'll be able to go and have fun In my opinion Michael McDowow has fun The whole point is to It's performance I know that
Starting point is 00:26:00 But you know there's If you know Where are you going to go have fun at Disney World Casino over Yeah If you want a race Where are you going to go
Starting point is 00:26:10 have fun at? Midgets? My analysis is this. Everyone's a midget to you. My analysis of this deal is this. We've said all year that 95 is one of the faster RCR cars. It's done well. This is an RCR car.
Starting point is 00:26:25 Todd Parrott's the crew chief. Here's the reality. There are 550 employees at Hendrick Motorsports. There are 28 at this other race team that he's going to. This is going to be the first time that Casey Kane has ever been subpar equipment. He's been in phenomenal equipment from the time he got here, and he deserved to be. I mean, this guy ran second as a rookie at places like Rockingham in an Everingham car. He deserves everything that he's had, including his recent brickyard win.
Starting point is 00:26:56 But it's going to be a shell shock, not when he gets to Daytona because they're going to be fast at Daytona. They'll be fine. RCR motors, RCR bodies. But when he leaves there and he has to go to Atlanta, it's going to be culture shock. I live this with Clint when he went and drunk. of that Harry Scott piece of crap for a year last year. And Casey Kane is going to be like, holy cow, I had no idea it was going to be this hard. But they do have an alliance with Childress, and he may get another opportunity at a good team if he can go out and do well. I think Michael McDowell is driving 110%. I was just going to ask you, what do you guys think happens to Michael?
Starting point is 00:27:30 I think he's driving 110% to make himself look good in this car. And I think that also is going to be a little bit of a bar for Casey to have to get to. You know, I look at Casey Cain as a guy that's going to run five to eight spots better than Michael McDowell would. But that's Casey Cain at 100 percent. Michael McDowell, if he's running 110, man, it may be worth two or three spots. Casey Cain is a talented guy. Michael McDowell, I got to say he ends up somewhere. He's got a little bit of money with him.
Starting point is 00:27:55 He's a great guy, great person, you know, very religious, clean living dude. A lot of people admire him. I certainly do. I mean, I see kids that he adopts when I go to pick Bodie up at preschool. And, I mean, he's a good dude. Yeah. He deserves a chance to keep going. Yeah, I agree.
Starting point is 00:28:11 I think Casey, this is the change of scenery. And the expectations of Casey are going to go from, you know, running for a championship to if this team makes even makes this top 16 is going to be a huge success in my opinion. So I think once Casey figures out, like, look, I don't have to go run 10th or they're going to look at me like, hey, oh, you know, what's wrong? What's wrong? What's wrong? Right. I think Casey, I think it's just once that. that turns and he realized, look, I'm just going to go and have fun this weekend.
Starting point is 00:28:38 I think as much Case Kane as I do any other driver out there, he is a really good dude. Honest to God. He is too. But here's the thing. I don't think that he feels like the Hendrick organization has been behind him for two years. And I think, you know, now he feels like he can get this group of guys behind him and they can march forward together. So it's hard, man, because when you're racing and you get out of the car and you hear Kevin Harvick's coming and get in the five, that was a room or two years ago.
Starting point is 00:29:03 Like you're looking over your shoulder. all year. And even this year. Paranoid. Yeah. I mean, he's out there trying to win the brickyard, knowing that he's probably going to get fired. He had a year left on his contract.
Starting point is 00:29:14 He got fired. But he's having to race with T.J.'s, as he said, that stress. That's hard. Fresh start may be a good thing. Yeah. Spot on, spot off. Chase Elliott's spoiler tape penalty. The video is classic.
Starting point is 00:29:28 The video is classic. I don't even care about it. Until we start taking wins away from guys, Like, that's the biggest thing to me still. This is a big deal. What he finished? Second or third or something? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:40 He was top fiveish or whatever. Here's the thing about it. TJ is, yes, he ran second or third, but when you look at the other 300 cars, they weren't even in the top 12. So that's where you have to say as a fan and as another person in the industry, how much of an advantage was this tape because the other 300 cars couldn't even, you couldn't even see the leaders. Here, this guy is up there challenging for the lead.
Starting point is 00:30:00 You know, I don't think the tape was doing that much to it. Then why did they do it? I'm sure it's a little bit of an advantage. It wouldn't do it if it wasn't. But the difference from where we were compared to where that was, we need more in tape. Here's the thing. If you're going to do it, you need to learn how to undo it because, yeah, I didn't know how to undo it. They're not probably the first ones that are doing this either.
Starting point is 00:30:23 They're two years ago or a year ago. There was, you know, people doing it on the A post and places like that. But, you know, I'm still with the, we need to do something about. it's probably going to come up again before the end of the year. Somebody's going to win a race, and it's going to be, something's going to be wrong. And they're going to get the win. They're going to say it's cucumber or whatever.
Starting point is 00:30:45 I think we got too many rules, man. You know, I read that, I read a tweet that somebody said, do you think there's just too many rolls with stuff? Have you ever read the whole rule book? Hell no. Just for fun. Have you ever read? The dictionary?
Starting point is 00:30:57 Yeah, the whole dictionary? You know, part of me would, I wonder what it would be like if it was more open. But I think what would happen is, is we're going to, the races are going to get worse. They're going to get spread out more. I feel like I get an email every day from NASCAR saying NASCAR rulebook change. Yeah. I think. You do.
Starting point is 00:31:16 I get the same one. I get them too. When you open it, does it come in that voice? NASCAR rule book change. No, they tend to be smokers. Their voice are a lot more raspy. 35 tower. Brian France.
Starting point is 00:31:30 Slurring. Something shiny in the track. All right. With that, we are going to take a break. One Main Financial is the largest consumer finance company in the United States, and it dates back over 100 years. TJ, I did not know that, but I did know that if you were in need of a loan and your finances have taken a turn, one main can help. So race down to the closest one main branch and get back on track.
Starting point is 00:31:57 You know that with more than 1,700 locations, there is bound to be one near you. There's actually one really close to up. us where we're at right now. So find your closest one main at one mainfinancial.com. Lending made personal. If you love Dale Jr., then Exaltor Racing is your go-to social media account on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. It brings you Insiders info all weekend long on the 88 team.
Starting point is 00:32:22 It's at Exaltor Racing, a must follow for any Dale Jr. fan. We're back. We're back. We're going into Fast Lane. If you don't know what Fast Lane is, you've never listened to our podcast, and I'm not going to explain it. Go back and listen to all of other. He gave a great explanation last week.
Starting point is 00:32:36 Did you, my dear? What I do? You gave a great fast lane explanation. What? He's already forgot it. It was so good. And to an area where we're going to argue. Did you have any good seafood in New Hampshire?
Starting point is 00:32:48 I had the best chumbo lobster roll. Oh. I don't need a seafood. At track or at a restaurant. Jumbo lobster roll. They had them at the Loud End Media Center. So good. For X-Footenity Day.
Starting point is 00:33:02 Don't make that face. TJ, do you have any good seafood? I don't need seafood. Are you allergic to it? Nope. Just don't like it. You're lame. It tastes like chicken.
Starting point is 00:33:12 Brett, you're going first, 30 seconds. Fast lane. Here we go. Okay. NAMSHA again applied the traction compound to the surface this weekend. Is this a long-term solution to improve racing or does something greater need to be done? This is the dumbest thing we do all year. What answer this question?
Starting point is 00:33:27 No. So here's the thing. The faster we go through the corner, the harder it is to pass. So what do we do? go in there and put stuff on the track that adds grip that makes the cars go faster through the center of the corner we need old worn out asphalt racetracks to produce good racing stop putting this crap in the groove at these racetracks it's bad yeah we don't need grip to we don't need grip that just repaid the damn thing then it's not putting this chemical down
Starting point is 00:33:53 I mean we don't need grip we need less grip we need tires that wear out and less grip so yeah I hate to say I agree but stop putting the especially a mile and a half. If you're going to do something fun with it, at least zigzagging through the corner, so it's fun. The two most important things that make a race entertaining,
Starting point is 00:34:12 number one is the tire. And after that, number two, it's the driver. Well, if the tire is making so much grip that everybody is running almost wide open, we're not going to see a lot of passing. Guys, on the brake, off the gas,
Starting point is 00:34:25 back on the throttle, rolling the center, driving the car. That creates a good race. We're not going to see it with a crap tire and a high-grip race. All the track. All the air in one lane. on.
Starting point is 00:34:34 Sunday, Mark, the final time New Hampshire will host two races a year. Which other track with two dates would you like to see go to one, TJ? Oh, this. I would like to see Kentucky go to none. Now, is that because of the spotter stand elevator? Can we just go to Loudoun twice again and take Kentucky off? I'm just kidding, really, not really. You know, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:34:59 This is a tough one here. I really like, where do we go twice? Daytona. I like all these tracks we go to twice. We go everywhere twice now, it seems like. Pocono. Do not say Indianapolis. Ugh.
Starting point is 00:35:10 I would love to go to IRP twice. If there's anything overused in the podcast world, it's Josh's vomit budding. It's still fun. Budding. I got to say, man, I don't think we should go to any track more than once except Daytona and Charlotte. I would love to see every track have one date except for those two, but that's not realistic. So I got to say, sorry, Pocono. You got to lose a date.
Starting point is 00:35:35 Oh, poor Pennsylvania. I like Pocono. You know, that track's unique because you can pit there and not lose a lap. You know, I don't know. We got a lot of good racetracks. We've just been messing them up lately. Like, I'm just waiting for Dover to release. They sprayed the whole racetrack with this stuff and see where you end up or something.
Starting point is 00:35:56 For teams not in championship contention, should playoff races be treated as test sessions for next season or business as usual? Brett. We get paid to go out and win and try to qualify well and try to race well. So no, it's not a test. It's a race. If it were a test, I wouldn't go because I don't go to test. We're showing up for our sponsors and our employees. I mean, Clint had a chance to run really well yesterday.
Starting point is 00:36:31 We ended up seventh. We were second on a restart. We don't go there to 10. Test? This guy is and this is where you insert your idiot. What an idiot. This is an idiot because I'm not testing for anybody. We want to win.
Starting point is 00:36:52 Like our goal when we're racing is to win. We race to win. We don't race to test now. The first round of the playoffs ends in Dover. Which four drivers are least likely to advance? Man. Least likely? Yep.
Starting point is 00:37:08 Oh, T.J's first. I got to go with Ricky Stenhouse, Austin Dillon. I need to see the rundown because I don't know the points. So here's who's out right now. Austin Dillon and Ricky Stenhouse are tied for basically the first car out, then Newman, then Kurt Bush, then Casey came. Man, I see Newman sliding in a good run at Dover, just a decent top tennis or something. And points wise, he can. Kurt Busch and Casey Kane, in order for them to get in on points,
Starting point is 00:37:42 they're going to have to win every stage and probably run second or third in the race. Yeah. They're 20 points out. Yeah, they're going to have to run exceptionally well to do well and hope someone above them has bad luck. Who's right above them in right now? McMurray, Harvick, Chase Elliott, and guess what all three of them are going to do at Dover? They're going to haul ass.
Starting point is 00:38:03 Yeah. That's three good cars at Dover. But you never know. A guy could get... I mean, Dover's a place where it's a narrow racetrack. If there's an accident, that place could eat up two or three of them guys pretty easily. And if Casey comes around there, real funny. I got to say.
Starting point is 00:38:20 We should start a game. I got to say. Stenhouse Jr.'s out. He's barely hanging on. I mean, he's the slowest guy out of the whole chase field. Talladeg is not going to be quick enough for it. No, he's the slowest guy. Stenhouse is out.
Starting point is 00:38:36 Kurt Bush. Man, he runs well at Dover. Casey Cain's out. He's in a must-win situation. Man, this is when you almost look at it and go. I'm glad I don't have the pressure of that. Yeah, this one's actually getting kind of easy. Hey, girl.
Starting point is 00:38:51 She's taking our picture. She's taking your picture. She's cute. Who was that? I don't know. All right, the off-the-wall topic, the Eagles beat the Giants. Boom! Off-the-wall topic, there's a hot blonde in the store.
Starting point is 00:39:06 Only by three. How do you only beat the Giants? After their rookie kicker made a 61 year. Don't, the freaking giants suck. I hate Eli Manning, and we still managed to almost piss that game away. And it came down to that freaking 61-yard field goal. And you know what the league record is, 64. In Denver.
Starting point is 00:39:23 I was the only person cheering in Hickory Tavern, and I was quite loud. Did you see the video of his parents? Uh-uh. Yeah, his parents, I saw a video of his parents. Eagles fans are mean. They are. I'm an Eagles fan. I know.
Starting point is 00:39:35 I'm not mean. I went to where. The Phillies and the Eagles used to both play at the vet. Right. Right? There was a jail in the basement. I know because y'all are mean. Listen, just because we throw batteries at the Easter Bunny and throw snowballs at Santa Claus.
Starting point is 00:39:49 Doesn't make this mean. This guy, the sword wants to talk to you, Brett. Yeah. I'm going to take Josh with me. All right, what's next? Got a cool shirt on. Do you think you could kick a field goal and from how many yards away? Oh.
Starting point is 00:40:04 I used to could kick a field goal. You're flexible, though, right? How do you like the hell does that got to do with kicking? Because you got to be able to extend your leg up in the air to kick the ball. That's punting. Same thing. Same concept. Kicking field goals, look, it is not easy. No.
Starting point is 00:40:17 I've tried to do it before. I have a kicked one since high school. I think I could do it just not from very far. I would probably be a lot better at straight on than that soccer style because we didn't play soccer. We actually. We didn't have soccer either. You would like this. We went to Dallas to announce the Pepsi stuff with Dell Jr. a long time ago.
Starting point is 00:40:36 Right. And we actually were on the field. They had a stage setup. And at the other end of the field, we were down there with two or three guys. One was like Ed Too Tall Jones or something. Oh, yeah. And when they were letting us kick field goals in it, like, I'm going to go ahead and tell you, if you get further to the back on like the 10-yard line, I ain't hitting it.
Starting point is 00:40:53 It's hard. It's hard. It's hard. It's very hard. Me to wear a steel-toe boot. And actually, I actually have a pretty good friend that's a former NFL kicker, David Acres. I love David Acres. He played for the Eagles.
Starting point is 00:41:05 I have an autographed David Acres shoe. He is a really, he's an awesome guy, really good guy. He loves racing too. He does. Can I meet him? He's who told me to do P90X one time. Oh, really? I did it and I got skinny and then I quit and I got fat.
Starting point is 00:41:17 I ate David Acres jersey back in the day. He's a really good guy and he's been to, he usually used to come to Dover. Yeah, he's coming up to a few races. He would come to the races. I want to meet him. He's, uh, he's really good friends with Greg Hoffman too up in Bristol. Elliot knows him. Yeah, because they played, uh, they played at Louisville together.
Starting point is 00:41:34 Elliot knows him. Oh, that's right. We visited that guy in his office. had a bunch of stuff. Yeah, he's a great kicker, too. I'm a diehard Eagles fan. Elliot Sadler. Ellies Sadele.
Starting point is 00:41:44 You got a quarterback now. Employer. Carson went. You all the ones that tall, funny. Wheel. Wheel. Wheel. Ticks wheel.
Starting point is 00:41:51 Ticks wheel. All right. You ready for hashtag ASDBC? Here we go. At Flaff Media, would the racing be better with less rules? Who, what? Yes. I think it would.
Starting point is 00:42:02 Is NASCAR helping or hurting by trying to make all the cars equal? We can. The I Rock series went out of business because all. all the cars were equal. If we all run the same speed, it's boring. It's a parade. The only way to make a race a race is to have cars going fast. Hey, cars going slow.
Starting point is 00:42:15 What do I do? You know, I... You got some on your shirt. Claudia ruins all my clothes. I think the... It's probably you got oil on it and then she washed it. There might be some areas that I do think need policing really heavily, but maybe some other areas that are relaxing.
Starting point is 00:42:28 I'm... If you know, if you open up certain areas, it's going to become a huge expense. Like, motors, if you... Can't have motors up. Exactly. So if you, you know... Motor. If you open up motors, that's big.
Starting point is 00:42:40 But I believe there's areas that we could relax on and let the team start experience. I miss the way the cars look first of all. We need to put some pressure on Goodyear to build softer tires. I miss the days. Slow the cars down. I missed the days where the engine or the fabricators could make an awesome car. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:56 They could put speed in a car because they have that talent to do that stuff with the metal. Favorite T-shirt ruined. At Randy Keel asks, will we see more corporate sponsor named T-Bri? like Phoenix about to be announced. What did I miss? It came over Twitter a little bit ago. There was a corporate sponsor named tracks like Phoenix.
Starting point is 00:43:18 Like Infineon Raceway and Lowe's used to, Lowe's motor speed winning. Like football stadiums are all like AT&T stadium. I got a question for you, all three of you. Is this where you bait us into an argument? Nope, nope. This is a legitimate question. Have you ever stopped using a.
Starting point is 00:43:37 sponsor's product that left this sport because they left this sport. And if so, what sponsor? Josh quit Viagra. Would you stop Home Depot? You said you stopped going to Home Depot? I don't go to Home Depot because they're not here. I wouldn't. The two that I... No, I'm pretty sponsor loyal to our partners. I quit Red Bull all together the minute they said they were in the sport. Oh, really? Bad for you anyway. I didn't have Red Bull. They do have good clothing. And I don't shop at Sitco anymore. Where the hell is a Cicco around here? There's Cicco is everywhere.
Starting point is 00:44:11 When I was doing PR for them, there were over 40,000 locations in the U.S. alone. Stop. But I don't go to CITGO anymore. I don't know if there's ever a product that I've just driven by or walked by. I'm like, I ain't buying that other than M&Ms. I mean. It's tough for me because I have a lot of personal relationships with our sponsors.
Starting point is 00:44:32 Like, they've become my friends and family. So I wouldn't, like, if the sponsor's not coming back next year, I probably still do it because I know people, that work there that depend on. But I'm talking about in general, not people that you have. I refuse to buy M&Ms. I don't really go to Losenham Depot anyway. Man, I refuse to buy M&M's.
Starting point is 00:44:49 There's two M&M's plants in this country. I've been to both of them. And when you can eat those things coming off the line hot. You just take a handful and shabble. It's the best thing ever. Melt in your mouth, not in your hand. Hot peanut Eminemes. I tell you what's even better is a warm snickers coming off the line.
Starting point is 00:45:04 Then they've got it. Ew, that's melted. No, it's not. It's formed. It's good. And then you go to their sugar plant is in Texas. I think it was in Waco of all places. Why are we always talking about Waco?
Starting point is 00:45:17 I don't know. Speaking of Snickers. But they make Starburst there, and I'm an orange starburst freak. I love them. You're the only person. You don't like orange starbursts? I don't mind them, but I like the pink and red ones. You're crazy.
Starting point is 00:45:28 We were at a, I think of the... My favorite's the yellow. What's the breakfast place we go to when we land that sells like candy? It's not Cracker Barrel, is it? We're at. Cracker Barrel? Old Country Store. And Megan, one of the...
Starting point is 00:45:38 One of our PR reps, they had a bunch of snickers there, and one of them said sarcastic on it. And the other one said, like, you know how they have things? Or sarcasm. And the other one said. Personality. Cranky. Yeah. And she goes, I guess she looked at them both at the same time.
Starting point is 00:45:52 She was like, that snickers says skanky. We're like, what are you talking about? That's a good idea. It was funny. Anyway, more corporate sponsors. Hey, man, it all comes down to what the sponsor is trying to get out of something. I think Lowe hit a home run when they had this sponsorship here in Charlotte. and then Charlotte actually realized.
Starting point is 00:46:09 Hell, a couple years afterward, I was still calling it Lozmanor Speedway. From a branding standpoint, they shouldn't have ever sold the name of Charlotte Motor Speedway. But I think Loz had a home run when they did that deal. At Mike Barbone, 191S, if Twitter was around 20 years ago, which drivers would be most entertaining to follow compared to guys like Brad Kozlowski today? Tim Richmond. I mean, we'd have to go back a little further than 20 years ago, but, I mean, like 20 years ago. Well, Tim Richmond, how long has he been dead?
Starting point is 00:46:33 More than 20? He died in the late 80s, early 90s? Yeah. We'd have to go back about 30 or so. Damn. 20 years ago is almost the same guy as we got now. Sterling Marlin. Sterling.
Starting point is 00:46:43 Sterling. Oh, okay. Get this thing to type. He's still alive. Yeah, but 20 years ago. Oh, Siri. Siri, a new message. New Dale Senior.
Starting point is 00:46:52 If you could let them be themselves, I'd say Sterling, Rusty. Elliot Saddle. They'd be pretty good. Rusty probably would have been pretty good. DW if he would get on there, like back then, like, Spike your helmet, Victory Lane, DW might be pretty good. Right, right. I would love to see the fight after Daytona, those two guys tweeting each other.
Starting point is 00:47:12 That'd be pretty fun. I like on Twitter that's an older guy. And I hope y'all all tweet him. Rick Mast. Oh, I know. Yeah. Rick Mast is awesome on Twitter. He is.
Starting point is 00:47:20 He is awesome. He is awesome. Sweet. Yeah, this is awesome. Yeah. Rick Mast. You've officially made it. You can slide into his D.
Starting point is 00:47:30 Damn right. Right. Holla. Holla. What are your thoughts on 14 NBA teams losing money this past season? Did you see what they're paying these guys? They're paying tens of millions of dollars to people I've never even heard of. I mean, last year, the biggest contract, Mike Conley.
Starting point is 00:47:49 It was Mike Conley, wasn't Josh? Last year, the biggest NBA contract? I think it was that Mike Conley guy. I don't watch the NBA. Ridiculous. I'm not a fan. I love college basketball, but I don't like NBA. I don't like how they do their paying deal here.
Starting point is 00:48:04 It's ridiculous. Every year it goes higher and higher and higher. We're paying. The thing is, these guys, these sports take and get to keep all their TV money. Now, they're selling tickets. They own their arena as I get that part of it too. But these teams get so much of the TV money, whereas we don't. No.
Starting point is 00:48:21 That's why we have to have TV money. Huge. That's why we have to have sponsorship to survive. And these guys don't. They get TV money and tickets. Is that your rant? Nope. You got another one?
Starting point is 00:48:34 I mean, I got to talk about the elephant in the room. The kneeling. I'm not talking about it. Oh, God. Why not? I was all say is I retweeted an article this morning that, you know, everyone has the right to do their own protesting and, you know, peaceful protests. But I just think there's better ways to do it. And, you know, I think we should all come together when it's the national anthem.
Starting point is 00:49:01 That's because that's our country. I think that's a time for us to join arms and become one. Colin Kaepernick started this crap last year. We talked about it on the show then. He took a knee, and he took a knee to protest police brutality. Well, I'm all for that. I really am, but I'm not for it during this song. If you want to protest police brutality, go down to the police department and hold you a rally and get some attention and do it that way.
Starting point is 00:49:29 And then our dumb president is going to call civilians some of a B. Now, how stupid if you got to be... Did you see Kaepernick's mom then tweeted and said something like this supports her son? Yeah. How can you call? No, but the KKK is, what did he say? They were very fine men.
Starting point is 00:49:49 Very good men. Very good people. All I can tell you is the president of the United States called civilians, SOBs. He's very divisive. That was very, very stupid. So then what happens? Even more players are protesting the national anthem.
Starting point is 00:50:07 And here's what the thing I don't get. I've got friends that I follow. Friends that I follow on Twitter that I knew when they played before the game, Cox, they're in the league. And they're tweeting and saying, this isn't about the national anthem. It's not about the flag. It is when you do it during that three minutes.
Starting point is 00:50:24 There's 24 hours in your day. And you need to pick the other 23 hours and 57 minutes to go protest. Don't do it. During that song. I saw something on Facebook that someone said, the flag is not President Trump, protest President Trump, not the American flag. Yes. This is about you live in the only, in the best free country in the world. Arguably.
Starting point is 00:50:49 Yeah. You do it. We're the only country that even plays this game of football, which is the number one sport in America. You're making millions of dollars. You're an employee while you're there. stand up, put your hand over your heart, or keep your ass in a locker room. I don't care if you're white, black, purple, green, blue, yellow. I don't care.
Starting point is 00:51:08 It's not about that. As TJ said there in that three minutes, stand up, be one, and be proud to be an American. That's what I'm saying. If I'm a hell of a lot worse. If I'm on that football team, I'm standing up and I'm locking on as my buddy next to me, my teammate. Not just for him, but for my country and everyone. I mean, that's a chance to come together, and that's our, that's, I mean, America is all of us together.
Starting point is 00:51:32 Like you said, if you want to protest it, do something on your own time with it. And, you know, when it's that national anthem, let's become one, man. It just sucks that it's during the one thing that kind of brings Americans together. I don't like it. But here's the liberals, here's the liberals and here's the media, trying to bring NASCAR into the argument. None of us are kneeling. None of us want to kneel. We don't.
Starting point is 00:51:56 That's not who we are as a sport, you know. And when I see people try to make that the story, oh, these guys aren't kneeling. Well, no, we're doing what you were taught to do as a kid. I was taught by my mom to respect elders, to respect our country. And if she didn't, if I didn't, she was going to put her foot in my ass. So when that song is played, you have two choices. Respect it or disrespect it. And if you disrespect it, we probably can't be friends.
Starting point is 00:52:23 I'm sorry. And I don't really ever draw that line because I believe political beliefs are, however you want to be, you be. But then there's just one thing where we're supposed to come together as, and that's an American, and you're saying, I'm not doing it, then now we probably can't be friends. If you're taking a knee, we're probably not built the same, because that's a respect thing for me.
Starting point is 00:52:43 Yeah, I want to see them come together. I don't want to see, I don't want to see people separating themselves. I want to see people come together. Yeah, they were trying to say that it was a political statement that everyone at NASCAR was standing up. We do that every weekend, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Yeah, every time. Every time.
Starting point is 00:52:58 It's just like we're... I saw there was a video though and then they showed like even Daniel Sforres stands for the anthem and he was actually born in Mexico which I thought was... Yeah. He even shows respect for the country that...
Starting point is 00:53:10 I've had friends that have died defending this country. Me too. I have friends right now that are overseas that are deployed and it's about that. It's not... I mean, it's just like me and you are friends. I'm not going to flip you off and tell you to go screw yourself because I respect you.
Starting point is 00:53:25 And it's the same thing. thing with our country. Like, you don't have to like the president of the United States. Right. I think the guy's a train wreck, a complete train wreck. Arguably, the biggest train wreck we've ever seen in office. But it's not about him. It's about things that are way bigger than that, which is your freedom.
Starting point is 00:53:42 Yeah. And if anything, questions that we're all going to do it together. Yeah. So I don't want to be not together. So, you know, I know the country's got problems, but I want to go into it and solve them as one, not as, you know. On a side note, I have. Sim Connect Speedway is what Phoenix is going to be renamed.
Starting point is 00:54:01 Good work. They just announced how this morning. I didn't read the article. Is that what it is? ISM Connect. The big screen. They're spending a ton of money at Phoenix to make that a more fan-friendly environment. I hope they get Wi-Fi.
Starting point is 00:54:13 I hope every track gets Wi-Fi. How can you not have it? Golly. I was speaking with some of my NASCAR buddies. I said, hey, you know your number one problem? He said, what is it? I said, you need Wi-Fi? He's like 30th on our list.
Starting point is 00:54:23 I said, you're telling kids they can come to the racetrack for free on Saturday, but they don't want to come because they can't get on the Snapchat because the phone don't work. You got to make the phones work. Can't get on the Snapchat. We can't even do our jobs. I can't get a text to go through to Josh to say, hey, can you, are you back to the hauler? No, can you give me a snack? He's a bugger, Riton, throwing up.
Starting point is 00:54:43 I didn't throw up at all. All right, so we are at hashtag DBC Picks, Brett 16, T.J.12. You won this weekend with Kyle Bush, beating out Hamlin. Not to mention. I have another correct winner pick. Anthony Wiener. sentenced to 21 months in prison for his sexting case. Oh, breaking news.
Starting point is 00:55:01 Two years. That guy was sending pictures of his ding-dong to people. 15-year-old. Weiner showing his... What a moron. Golly, his poor wife. X-wife. He said he used Snapchat.
Starting point is 00:55:13 How do you get a 15-year-old's phone number? Through Twitter. He was sending, like... He slid in his den. Dude. What do you think is going to happen to Anthony Weiner in jail? Man, how do you... What is wrong with these?
Starting point is 00:55:27 This dude rolls up in a church in Tennessee, he shoots seven people. This Wiener guy, how do you even change your name from Wiener? First of all. You need to pronounce a different. Winer or something. From now on, dude, don't be Anthony Wiener because your Wiener's got a lot of trouble. Get. Like, he's done it so many times.
Starting point is 00:55:46 Like, wouldn't you learn up the first one, two, three scandals and then a 15-year-old? What an idiot. Man, I don't have any patience for people like that. What an idiot. There's only three people. people in my mind you would want to pick it Dover. And not Anthony Weiner. And I'm going to go with one of the three.
Starting point is 00:56:03 And I think it's a tick risky, but I'm going to go with, you're going to pick my guy. I'm going to go with Matt. Oh, Kenseth. Sweet. Steve Benedict. Oh. Yeah. Tift.
Starting point is 00:56:16 No. Matt, Kenseth. I will go with Kyle Arson. Hey, Kyle Larson, if you, for you fantasy people, Kyle Larson, Matt Kenseth, and Jimmy Johnson are the three best at over. Yeah, Brad's right there as well. There's three are phenomenal. And if Carl was running, Carl would be right there as well.
Starting point is 00:56:34 Concrete Carl's farming. He's still mad as hell about that whole homestead deal. He's probably chubble manure right now. Probably. I got that one. He's butthole deep in cow. Butthole deep, gross. That's not even a thing.
Starting point is 00:56:51 Yeah, it is. You've never been a butthole deep in something? Oh, my gosh. You've never been snowmobile and stepped off a snowmobile and you fall to your crotch? No. You're deep in stove. Thanks for one main, dirty mo. Y'all grew up wrong.
Starting point is 00:57:08 Exalt. Exalt. Her legs are longer than mine. Maybe you want. She had to step into something a lot deeper than you. Oh, man, this went awry. This is, we are. I don't know that we even talk about racing on this show.
Starting point is 00:57:22 Did we? We are deep in something here. Guys, we're going to Dover. It's going to be so much fun at the Monster Mile. And Carl is, what's your favorite thing to do on Dover? You know what my favorite thing to do in Dover is? Drink. Drink.
Starting point is 00:57:38 My favorite thing to do in Dover is leave Dover. He says it about every room. You don't love Dover? Not really. You're not going to go to Misties and get your nice dinner than... It's Michelle. Michelle's. Misty's...
Starting point is 00:57:49 Who's that? Misty. I don't know. Maybe Misty slide into your DM. I'm going to the wrong restaurant all these years. I thought it was Michelle. Hey, you can cook a steak on a rock. Are you guys standing in the casino?
Starting point is 00:58:02 I don't know. I don't. It's pretty good. It was really good. I thought Hendrick didn't stay there. We don't stay there. They stay like... Two hours away.
Starting point is 00:58:11 Yeah, right at the beach. Wilmington. Philadelphia. Dover's a cool racetrack. It is. It is. It's a tough race track. Super loud.
Starting point is 00:58:18 Super loud place. You stand on that pedestrian bridge and it scares you. Yeah. It's a real... Casinos fun. fun. Do they make them stop smoking in there yet? Probably not. I think they did because when you go outside, then you get secondhand smoked.
Starting point is 00:58:36 Maybe. Just let them stand right at the door. It's like they open the door, take a puff, and they blow it inside. You let us smoke in there. Maybe we can get some grotto pizza. Grotto. Grotto pizza. Maybe we get some grotto.
Starting point is 00:58:54 Some grotto. Yeah. Maybe we get some grotto. you'll come have some with us. Maybe Misty will bring some grotto to the roof here. If we get a shoutout, man, can we like tag grotto in this? Maybe get some pizzas.
Starting point is 00:59:02 I think Dover's a fun town. Where do y'all stay now? Who knows? Stephen got you all on the deal? You think Dover is a fun town? Dude, I've had a lot of fun at Dover. I mean, I have too, but that's because there's nothing to do except for go to the casino.
Starting point is 00:59:17 Well, casino's fun. There's also that bar right in front of the track. Bubba's? Bubba's. Right beside a Missing. That doesn't exist. It's right there. This is a fun place.
Starting point is 00:59:30 Get you some ice cream in there, too. Josh, what's wrong with us? You need to give Josh a day to recover. He's hurting. Good Lord. I like alcoholic Josh better than hungover, Josh. All right, y'all. We'll see you after Dover.
