Outside, door, bumper, clear the AT. Ben's car I 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. This is Door Bumper Clear with T.J. Majors, Brett Griffin and myself, KB. We just wanted to take a moment right now and really think about and pray for the victims and the survivors, the law enforcement of the Las Vegas shooting tragedy that happened last night. We just wanted to let everyone know that our hearts are definitely with everyone over there and anyone that's been affected by it and just want to come together as a country. and just have a moment of silence. All right, let's give everyone something to laugh about today in the wake of the senseless violence.

What is wrong with people? I don't know, man. It's just sad. This country just needs a... We need a shot of feel good. Yeah, we do. Why don't you guys try and make everyone feel better with your nonsense and your race talk?

Where were we this weekend? We were at Dover. I saw Kristen. The Monster Mile. And the casino. Oh, that had to be a sight. T.J. Was she clothed?

Half naked. I was not half naked. I knew it. I had a jumper on. Is that it? What's a jumper? She wore that here one day, remember? And I asked her a long time ago.

I did. Was she? Well, I saw her from the other side of the bar, so how about the top half of her body? I couldn't see that. I could only see her head. Oh, my goodness. Kristen, you can't wear that in public. Why?

yet. I didn't see her. I'm glad I didn't. We were, Dave Allen and I were grabbing a drink, um, betting on horses and then. As soon as she walks off.

Brett and Freddie showed up. Everybody looks to me and goes, was she, was she wearing any clothes? Stop it. I mean, you show a tiny bit of cleavage and suddenly you're naked. How lucky is that Allen guy?

That's the next thing. Is it just startling? Because I'm always, completely covered from head to toe here. Is that the track? Yes. You're covered here. You're professional here.

And you leave here and you're naked. I've seen three times in public. I'm questioning Alan here. Like, why do you, why does Alan that you dress like this? He's showing off. I looked. You look like a Russian. Oh, so listen to this.

This is a great story. We walk into the fire and ice bar after we have dinner. And I'm talking to Caitlin Vinci, who's one of my good friends and her fiancee. And this, dumb mask. comes up to us and says, hey, my friends said you two are Russian hookers. How much for the night? And I almost beat his ass. Are you kidding me? No, and he kept saying it and he wouldn't leave. And Caitlin was just ticked. She didn't say a word. And this guy kept repeating it finally. Like I was like, Alan, you need to come over here and take care of this. And he did. And he went

over to his friend and he's like, get this away from my girlfriend and her friend. So Alan went to somebody else? He didn't go to the guy? So this guy came from a group of seven guys. And the guy kind of like was just like wandering around. Come get me, please. Oh, man. That's what happens when you dress like that. That's what I was going to say. I looked classy, by the way, just because there was a little bit of cleavage.

So shut it. A little bit of a lot of cleavage. Did Shana tell you, so we're in this fire and ice bar, Josh. I was there. This really hot girl, I'm talking hot, comes up to Shana and is like hitting on her. Like full-blown rubbing her arms, telling her how pretty is she is and that she wants take her to her room. Oh, my goodness.

So this is true story. So then I look at this girl. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Let's see where this goes. Yeah. So I'm looking at this girl and I'm like, hey, this is kind of nice. Like this is cool. So then she says, you know, me and my boyfriend want to take you to our room.

I was like, whoa, whoa, stop. Shane and I are married. Do you know what this girl says next? Well, then what if I come to y'all's room? And I'm like, uh, okay, so we're not married and now that ain't happening either. Oh my gosh. But in Dover of all places. I'll tell you, this chick was hot.

It was funny, too, because Shana was wearing, like, a t-shirt. Well, she wears T-shirt and jogging pants everywhere she goes. I know, and her shower shoes. So, this girl wanted Shana. Yes. And whatever came with it, as long as she had Shana. Yeah, she was rubbing Shana's arm. Everybody in the bar is watching this go down.

Because, and I thought maybe she was for hire, right? Not Shana, the other girl. Yeah. So, I mean, she's rubbing Shana's arm and she's looking at her. Like, she's, I'm doing it. Y'all know what I doing it is, right? Yeah, I beep. Yeah.

So what night was this? Friday night. Oh, man. You were playing Madden. I was, I was watching college football and play. Actually, I fell asleep at 8 o'clock on Friday night. Well, I will say to all the listeners out there, the millions of listeners out there, if you ever make it to Dover, Delaware for a race and you don't go to fire an ice, you're an idiot. Yeah.

What an idiot. What an idiot. Fire and Isis. It's the only bar in town that's worth it. I don't think you look Russian. I don't look Russian. I see it a little bit. I am like 100% German.

Well, I'm like 90% and like 10% Turkish. And you majored in French. Yes, that is correct. Maybe that girl's a listener. I just don't know where they came up with a Russian part. I don't know. I was an... Do you think that girl's a listener?

He said this to you. He came up in my face. I'm surprised you didn't punch him. I got... I was like... You should have hit him with your drink. Like, yeah. Your flask.

I'm not wasting vodka on that guy. You should hit him with your best shot. Fire away. Were you drinking vodka? Yeah, Tito's and Club soda. Pretty much another reason why we are you Russian. It looks like water. I think I was a moron.

God, Alan. Lucky. My buddies. Who is that Allen guy? How do you get that? I'm not going to lie. I mean, I've been asked at it. I've been asked that a couple of times, and I don't have an answer.

I don't. He is the world's greatest man. So Alan tells us, proceeds to tell us over a cocktail that he is going to come on the show. Yeah, well, okay. And he's going to be faced. It's going to be our Christmas episode. He's asked Brett to pick him up. Yeah, he's asked me to pick him up.

And he'll provide the eggnog. Yeah. So my stepdad Roy makes eggnog. I'd never had eggnog. Your stepdad Roy makes eggnog. Yes, I'd never had eggnog. And he, uh, he, uh, he, uh, he's, He makes Segnog.

Does Roy live in Pageland, South Carolina? He does now bless us hard. He's from Altoona, Pennsylvania. Oh, really? Yeah. So he's a Yankee like you are. My mom tells him all the time, you're just a fucking Yankee. How'd they meet?

Stepdad Roy. Myrtle Beach. Guess where I'm going next weekend. The Redneck Riviera. Did you think it was somewhere else? My family and I are going to Murtle next weekend. Our family only goes to two places, Pajelan on Myrtle Beach. My stepdad Roy.

That's so funny sounding. Good night, Jim Bob. Good night, Roy. Good night, Mary Allen. Good night, Brett. I'll get him and make us some egg nod. All right. What goes of it?

Isn't it like ice cream and bourbon or something? No, it's eggs. You put Southern Comfort in there. It's like milk, egg. You can't put ice cream, yeah. How can I enjoy something like that? It's super thick. How do you drink that?

I love it. You can either do rum or you can do like Southern Comfort or whiskey. if you want. This, leave it to the alcoholic to let us know this. Josh, how's your,

how's your no drinking thing going? It was going really well until Friday night and I went to Fire and Ice with Bay. Remember what he said? He's like, if we're not staying at the casino,

I'm fine because I won't be tempted to drink and we stayed at the casino. But then, you know, Bayliss was there, Miller Quar's and I'm like, oh, I guess I'll, you know,

have some beers. And I did. Our friend Jonathan Bayless, the poorest rich guy will ever meet. Oh, God. Love that. guy.

Oh, I was helping push some volume for the local market. Yeah. Good. Good job, Josh. Yep. Good. All right.

I was fighting off girls that wanted to have threesomes. Oh, gross. Darn. I'm still baffled by this. Like, that doesn't. That rarely happens like that. If you went got Shana right now, I bet she couldn't even tell the story because she was literally standing there like, this isn't happening.

This can't be happening. In the meantime, this girl is just on. We should have told her to come down here. and surprised her with it. Put a headside and be like, hey, tell us about your experience. She's shy. Sheena, tell us about your experience. She doesn't talk anyways.

Like, at all. I will leave this room when I'm done and go up and be like, hey, hey. Hey, I heard you had a good Friday night. Any video? Yeah, got any video? What? All right, we're going in a spot on, spot off. Already?

Brett, your first. We're not even done BSing. What are we talking about? Your BS is boring. We're talking about threesome. And we did. We didn't get T.J's signature. Hey, everyone.

This is T.J. Majors. Well, we had good reasoning. True. Go to do you, ours. Listen to this. Oh, let's talk about giggles. Let's talk about.

Let's back this up. Our friend Giggles is the guy who used to say, Come in here, boy. So this guy proceeds to hold up the entire airplane. For 30 minutes. Friday morning, our plane was supposed to leave at 6.15. It should have left. Six 15.

Car Chief called him at 6.05 and said, where are you? He was still in bed. We did not take off from Statesville until 645. With that, no one on the team could stop for breakfast and could only go to Chick-fil-A before the garage opened. What, Chick-fil-A is good, but, I mean... Yeah, but you have people like Billy really need Waffle House every time you're laying. And Big Country and Honda. Why doesn't the plane just leave him and teach the guy a lesson? It's up to the crew chief. The crew chief?

Kevin gets up to Kevin? Well, I mean, I guess it's up to Kevin and Pemberton. As to whether or not you leave him. I mean, if the guy is, if you're, I don't know how, I don't know who else in that team. People have been fired for less than that. I mean, that's very disrespectful of that guy to do that to an entire team. Like, of course he didn't intend to do that, but it was 50 people who were waiting for half an hour. When we all got up at freaking four o'clock in the morning.

I would have left of it. Long day on Friday. I would have left him. That's why everyone was at fire an ice. I would have left him. Listen, you're not going to do this anymore. If it's three in the afternoon and we don't have to work until the next day. And you get to go have dinner and a cocktail.

I'm a little bit more okay with it. Like, I'm still not okay with it because you're disrespecting 50 people. And you don't have to be like. But y'all woke up at four in the morning to get up to shower, to finish packing, obviously to put your faces on. Exactly. for Josh to, you know, rehydrate, and you get to the airplane at 5.30? Yeah, 530, boarding at 545.

And you board at 545, and you're supposed to take off at 615. And at 605, this guy is still sleeping. Yep. And he lives half of an hour, 35 minutes away. Giggles. Giggles. I'm not giggling. Coming to you, spotter.

No, no, boy. Where should come? Sleepy. Is he still here? I saw him this morning, yep. Wow. See, to me, I would have left the guy one time, and then I would have made him think about it all weekend and maybe made him come in and buy the team lunch. And everyone's already grumpy as hell already because everyone's so tired.

Because we got up at 4.30 at the morning. We didn't. He didn't. Like, it's supposed to be a quick flight to Dover. He was so well-rested at 5 p.m. compared to you guys. Like, y'all are getting off work, and he's like, what are we going to do? Murder him. And Chris is like, I'm going to get naked and go sit at this bar.

I was not naked. Maybe somebody will buy me a drink and call me a Russian hooker. Yeah. It worked. Maybe there's a girl that wants a three-a-son. Apparently there was one there. We need, why don't we have a reality show? This whole, yeah.

Door bumper clear is a reality show. No, I mean, like on the weekends, we have a camera off in the distance following you and following her. Yes. Because typically it's boring as hell. I actually typically it's not Friday listen to just all this stuff that happen on Friday I'm boring as hell this stuff happens when you have a place like Dover

where everyone stays at the casino right and you wear jumpers in public it was a nice jumper I'm sure you wore that jumper in here like a year ago or something that one time it wasn't that one no I'm just saying but that's there was that type of yeah I mean where you have to like if you have to go to restroom you have to take the whole thing

off that's sweet Dude, after a bunch of cocktails. Did that girl follow you in there? All righty then. We race. Did we race as we get? They won't a race. They wasn't a race.

The only race is the casino. Fire and ice. Fire and ice. There was a kind of boring race on Saturday. Josh, now that we've been advertising a little bit, any, any DMs lately? Anybody sliding in? Nobody slid in. Let's give away your Twitter name.

What's your Twitter handle? Josh, Mass. X. That's not it, but Okay. It isn't. J-M-M-A-M-S-X. Yep. Let's see if we can get one of these hot girls. Maybe that girl that's what I'm thinking. Maybe that girl that approached Shana.

Yes, maybe Josh could be the third. Josh's Twitter name is at J-H-M-A-S-X. And Josh, I've got to ask you, what does the X stand for? Think about it. I'm asking. Think about it. It's not that hard. I'm asking. Des Bryant. No.

I'm asking. Josh, J-H-M-A-S-X. What does that X stand for, T-J? You're to crossroads in your life? Ten. It stands for ten. Roman numeral. You're the 10th, Josh Maston.

Mass-T-E-M-A-Mast. A bunch of geniuses up in here. No wonder he's single. Yeah. Yeah. Poor Joshy. Oh, my gosh. Jesus Christ.

That's corny as hell, Josh. Don't be upset because you couldn't figure it up. I'm not upset. I thought it was Josh Mastin extreme. Like I thought it was like X games, you know. It's whatever you want it to be. I promise you that if we randomly ask, if we randomly ask people, most people won't get that.

What the X stands for on the end of that, they would not be like, oh, that's mass 10. I think anyone knows what a Ramanumerol. I have Romen numerals on my body. But I still didn't know that's what that was. I thought it was an X. I will give you. It's creative. It's creative.

I give you that for sure. Roman numerals had like things over them. They do like lines atop and some bottom stuff. See that has the thing over it. No, it just depends if it's serif or non or sand serif. Oh, God. We don't even know what shakers are. And now you're talking about this.

On a font, a serif adds like a little line to the regular letter. Sarah. Serif, S-E-R-I-F. If it's sans serif without serif. That's us been in Windows. It's like Windows 3.1 or whatever. It's been one of the original fonts. This show is already gone.

I got a friend named Sarah Bundy. She don't have nothing over her names. Spot on, spot off. Brett, Chase Elliott blows a big lead to Kyle Bush. Spot off. He screwed that up, man. He should have won that race. I looked up and he had a huge lead.

I looked up again and he had a 10 car length lead. I looked up again and Kyle Busch was coming around him, coming to the white flag and I literally couldn't believe it. Yeah, I did the same thing. I was watching a little bit more because I saw Kyle kind of catching him a little bit and then it looked like Chase would hold his own. But it just looked like Chase was very sticking. He didn't move much.

He would ride that bottom. When he got to a guy, he would work up to him instead of just swinging it up, getting the big run. And, you know, it just didn't, he didn't move enough. in my opinion to do that. But it's, I mean, I saw Kyle coming. I'm like, okay, well, he's going to get three to go. Chase's probably going to move up and make it real difficult on Kyle.

And we didn't have any of that. So, you know, I got a, I hate to go spot off on it. But, you know, Chase is really good of moving around already. He should have moved around. T.J. and I raced each other this week. That's fun. You got me there because of pit strategy at the end. I raced him for like a half a lap Saturday.

Like we caught, Elliot caught Justin. I was like, yeah, we're going to pass this guy. And then eight laps later, Justin was, like, taking the league. Like, he's gone. The league. And then yesterday, we kind of raced around Dale Jr. all day. Dale Jr. is running 30-ish. We're running, like, seventh-ish.

And then that yellow screwed us both. Oh, yeah. And then at the end, like, Dale Jr. comes out on fresher tires. I was like, man, he was going to pass. We stretched it a little bit again. And we stretched it probably about seven, eight laps more than you. Yeah. And that's how you jump.

And I thought you were going to be okay for doing that. Yeah, I thought so. Well, we got to you and it was like, oh, here we're done. Yeah, can't pass. So, yeah. But, I mean. It was fun to see Dojinger up there. Our car was really good in the long run.

Like, if it would have went a full fuel run, I think we might have been out. Your car seemed to fall off a late in a run. Yeah. But it was fun to see you up there. Those guys, Dover is cool because them drivers are wheeling it. I look at Dover and Darlington as a man's racetrack. Like, you're not in there. running wide open and letting the car like you're wheeling it it's not a kansas

chicago where you're down in the corner i mean these guys are fighting it loose every corner yeah like there's no there's nobody that could go full throttle from the middle of the corner out to exit at all i mean they are half throttle until they get straight and they are fighting it yeah and uh we got in the airplane delgium's like man i got a he had like a bruise on his arm for from from his from like wheeling it yeah from his arm hitting a seat where it normally doesn't do it that much. And it's fun to watch them guys run that place, too. Those guys are driving the heck out of it.

Yeah. So it's fun to watch. Spot on, spot off. Jeffrey Earnhardt hits Sam Barrels while attempting to pit. What an idiot. How many laps down was this guy when this happened? 12 was early. It was the beginning of the race.

That's pretty early. We've run 80 laps. I mean, I got, you know. I thought there were like 833 cars out there because every two laps you're passing a green 303. He's not the first guy to do this type of thing. I mean, Matt Kansas has clobbered in barrels before and it almost happens every year. You're correct. But if you're Jeffrey Earnhardt and your 10 laps down into an 80-lap race, it's probably an unnecessary risk. Why are you hustling so hard? Like you're, what are you going to get out of this?

It's an unnecessary risk, probably. I like Jeffrey Earnhardt. You know, I know he's in bad equipment. I like to see him get a fair shot and get equipment. But, man, like you're taking a bad situation. And now it's almost like a suicide. It is not mission. You totally. How long was that red flag? Oh, 30 minutes.

Yeah. At least. The amount of time we waited on the plane. And also, if I could have got a signal, I watched a little football, but I don't have any signal. Oh, cell phones network. Jeffrey, uh, tone it down, but. Spot on, spot off.

Ryan Newman and Jeff Gordon exchange words post race. Did y'all see this? Yeah. So I didn't really, I didn't really see it yet. I've heard, I read a little bit about it, but I'm not sure what they say. So Gordon walks up to Newman and was like, thanks for all the help. So Newman, fans on social media are accusing Ryan Newman of holding up Chase Elliott for 10 laps and costing him the win. Which he probably did.

So Ryan Newman is trying to make the next round of playoffs. You know, obviously you're coming down at the end of the race. I think he's running about 13th. So not a terrible day for the guy. And Gordon was sitting on top of the 24 pit box. I think there's a few stories here. Gordon's on top of 24 pit box. He walks over to Newman post race and said,

thanks for all the help. And Newman said, watch what you're saying, bud. And he starts walking toward him. And he starts bowing up. And his shoulders start merging into his ears. And like he looks like that ogre shrek guy. They already are merging into his ears. He's got no neck.

No neck. No neck. Newman. So the next thing Gordon says was something else. I don't know what he said. And Newman was like, well, you sounded like you were awful. sarcastic. And like Newman looked like he was

maybe going to pounce on him. So I think the question is is this okay? What do you mean? Why is it not okay? Why is it not okay? Any controversy after the... People aren't happy. I mean, Newman's mad because he got knocked out. Jeff's mad because

Chase, who is a Hendrik driver with Jeff, obviously is very involved. You know, Ryan probably did cost Chase a lot of time on the track. but at the end of the day, it's not Ryan's job to get out of the way. You know, me personally, if the caution comes out before a lap to go,

Ryan... He's okay. He has a shot at getting back up there in the top seven or eight on a good restart. Who knows? I don't know how many points he missed it by. Chase Elliott also has a bumper on his car. Chase Elliott also has four other grooves to try and use as well. You know, Chase is going to be...

I'll tell you what's going to happen. When Chase Elliott wins a race... race. He'll set a world on fire. He is going to go on fire. Yeah. And he is, and it's coming. It is coming. He's going to figure it out and it's going to happen. And we're all in trouble when it does because he is going to be on fire. So, but you know, it's not, it's not Ryan's job. And granted Ryan probably could have made it a little easier on him. There's not a guy harder to pass on the racetrack when he wants to be hard to pass. When he wants to be hard to pass. But Ryan didn't do anything but run the line that he had been running the entire time. And, In my opinion, you know, there's nothing really wrong with that. Ryan actually had something to race for still as well. So if it was a lap down guy or a guy that wasn't in the chase, it wasn't possibly in the chase, I would say, you know, that guy probably could have got out of the way a little bit and helped to lead her out a little bit. But this is a race, and Ryan had something to race for.

If you're a Chase Elliott fan and you're upset he didn't win, I get it. But don't blame Ryan Newman. Yeah, don't blame Ryan. He was, you know, like I said, Chase is going to win a lot of races. When he gets it, he's going to get it. Let's talk about this Jeff Gordon thing, though. He is an invested owner of that car. In the sport.

Yeah. On that car. He's on this car's pit box. Should he be allowed to go on TV and cover these races when he, like there's no separation of church and state? This guy is part owner. he's confronting another race car driver about how that guy raced his race car driver

and yet we're supposed to get an unbiased opinion when he's on TV? Can we believe that? I don't. I've listened to some of the guests. Yeah, but the commentators are giving their opinions on certain aspects of the race too. Can he be unbiased covering him?

Is there such a thing as unbiased? I don't think you can be because all the guys was DW unbiased to Michael? They used to race, you know? Was DW unbiased to Michael his whole time? Was DW? you're getting paid by Toyota. I'm just saying,

you know. He owned a Toyota truck team. I'm not saying, I'm not saying I'm for any of them. I think it's impossible to get a completely unbiased opinion. Because of why? Because the people, all these,

we're all, they're all in it somehow. The personal relationships. Yeah. I mean, then you have, then you have the outside business side coming in. But I don't,

I mean, even, I would rather listen to Jeff's point of view on a situation, even if, you know, I'm not really sure there's a situation. that could come up where what's Jeff going to say well this guy's wrong for doing that that's his opinion he might say that no matter what car it is Dale Jr. will be on NBC next year and he's going to be in the booth for these cup races I bet you they don't put him in the booth for the Xfinity races because it wouldn't make sense he has four cars out there racing yeah but I mean I'd still I was still like cover it yes can he give you good analysis yes but it's

hard to be fair and balanced when you have a business invested interest. I think these guys are more, I think these guys are professional enough when they're on the air. Imagine Troy Eggman on half the Cowboys and covering the game. It's weird, man. I'm just saying it's weird. I mean, it could be different. He's a TV personality. He's a TV personality, right?

Confronting another driver about how he raced his driver. I'm just saying that's a weird synergy. But he's not on the clock. I don't think in any of the sport. He is on the clock as an owner. As an owner, but he's not on the clock on the TV side. So he should be. So he's got fired by Fox.

No, I'm saying he's got a right to go down there and be a team owner at that point. Now, whether he gets on the air and starts bashing him, then I might have a problem with that. I'm just saying, I'm just pointing out the fact that it's a weird synergy that you'll never see in another sport. Possibly. I mean, if Tony Romo calls the Cowboys game, is he going to be biased? I don't know. I don't know if that's true. Like cycling is all former cyclists and still.

have all of their best friends still racing. But that's the personal side. Right. I'm talking about the business side. I'm not talking about me and T.J. are buddies and he's out there racing. Like, I get that. I get that in all sports. That's the relationship business.

I'm talking about what's it mean that this guy owns a... And I'm not just talking about Jeff Gordon. I mean, we got Michael Walshrop. He's on the air last year with Fox. Michael's been on it for a long time. He owns three teams, you know? I mean, I'm speaking to our sport in general that it's very unique. I feel like these guys are.

professional enough to not let it get to a point where we have to deal with. I mean, I watched Brad Dardy on TV, and I'm like, wait, what? Brad Dardy owns a team. Like, this is, it's just different. That's all I'm saying. Got you. You're never going to talk about your own team or your own people. Accurate statement.

So you're going to cover 40 cars, but 36 of them, you're going to cover differently than you're four. I guarantee them to you. You can't convince me otherwise. No way Michael Waltrop's going to come on air and talk about Martin Truex, when Martin Truex is driving his race car. Fair? Fair.

Yeah, I mean, I agree with that. So, therefore, I'm just making a statement. Your statement has been made. I think Jeff Gordon deserves to be on TV. He's great for our sport. I'm not saying fire the guy. I'm just saying this is a unique situation where a TV personality is a car owner who confronts another driver.

And he almost got DDTed. I think it's very, I think it's really good that we have guys like Jeff and Deljur that are willing to go and do TV stuff and give us a fresh perspective of the car and stuff, though. Absolutely. I mean, it, you know, the last thing we want to do, we've talked about on the show is we don't want to lose big-name drivers. So it's great. Spot on, spot off.

Ryan Blaney hands the checkered flag to a young fan on the stands after his Xfinity win. I thought it was cute. Yeah, I go, you know, spot on to Blaney, man. It's hard to win these races and checker flags mean a lot. That's a moment. An item that people like to like them. It's a momentum. It's an item that people like to keep and drivers have.

Monument. And, you know, really. Ryan picks out a kid in the stands. It's a race fan, man, and gives that kid a... I think he had on a Target hat, right? He did. He had a Larson fan. So good for Ryan to get these kids involved like that.

That thing's going to stay in that kid's room on his wall probably forever. Blaney, man, he dominated the Xfinity race. He came from probably... He did. Start at 8th or 10th. Man, he drove to the front. He was super fast. And I was really surprised at how poorly he ran yesterday.

I mean, Brad was a decent Pitsky car. Joey seemed irrelevant. Ryan seemed irrelevant. I think Ryan, and I may be wrong, I think this kid is a special talent. Yeah, he's really good. I think he's, man, you get him in the right situation. I think he's just like Chase Elliott going to set the world on fire. I mean, so it's great to see him gravitate younger fans to our sport.

Man, that was cool. Yeah, he does a lot of stuff, too. He's the type of guy that when he gets to call, hey, well, you go here. and do this? He says yes to everything. You know, these guys, when I grew up, I was a kid, and when the race was over, they left the racetrack like normal human beings. They didn't have motorcoach drivers. They didn't have golf carts. They didn't have motorhomes. They walked out of the gate. And as a fan, you stood there, and I mean, I remember Neil Bonnet putting his hat on my head.

And Dale Earnhardt, stop by my mom's convenience store in Pagelan. Like, that makes you a fan. So I think this kind of thing for Ryan Blaney to do, it makes normal people sitting in the stands or kids go, that kid will be a fan the rest of his life. He'll never forget that. He's going to go to every Dover race until he can't go anymore. I mean, he's going everything on. For Darlington, Rockingham, North Wilkesboro.

It's what makes our sports special. Spot on, spot off. Ben Rhodes wins first career truck race at Las Vegas. This series kind of owed him one this year. You know? Yeah, he had one. He's beating Kyle Busch earlier in the year, blows a motor. He beat Kyle straight up that race.

That was big. Yeah. That was heartbreaking to watch as a sports fan to see Cinderella going to the ball. And then she broke her high heel and she fell on her ass. The wheel fell off the way. But now Cinderella's back in the form of Ben Rhodes. That was a good race. Yeah, it was a very good race.

They had no business being out there by themselves, but they did put on a good show considering. Yeah, that was a really good. What are they doing in Vegas by themselves? I don't know. It's really don't know. A 27-hour drive for the haulers. It's a minimum. How much they spend on travel you think, Chris?

They go out there per team. 30, 40 grand. You're flying 12, 15 people per team. Flights, rental cars, hotels per diem. Strip clubs. It's expensive. And they're in Vegas. They could have went to Hicketts.

for $8 a person, stay to home. And instead, we sent them to Las Vegas. Jesus Christ. Well, I don't think they should ever go west of the Mississippi by themselves, first of all, just from a cost perspective. But maybe they're, maybe they're giving these guys more money. I think they are.

All right, we're going to take a break. One main financial is the largest consumer finance company in the United States. it dates back over 100 years. TJ, I did not know that, but I did know that if you were in need of a loan and your finances have taken a turn, one main can help. So race down to the closest one main branch and get back on track. You know that with more than 1,700 locations, there is bound to be one near you. There's actually one really close to us where we're at right now.

So find your closest one main at 1Mainfinancial.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. It's at Exaltar Racing, a must follow for any Dale Jr. fan. Okay, Jets, we're going into Fast Lane, y'all ready? Yeah. T.J., you're going first.

Okay. Are you surprised that Kurt Busch, Newman, Dylan, and Kane were eliminated after Dover? I forget what you said last week. I'm not overly surprised at this. This is really close to what we had all. all thought would happen anyway. Who are you most surprised? Honestly, I'm probably most surprised about, I mean,

Kurt and Newman are probably right there together. I thought Kurt would show enough speed to get past the first 16, and Newman's usually good enough to point his way in. He's usually good enough, solid enough. He doesn't run very good in the beginning of the race, but he's there eighth, ninth, tenth, at the end of the race. So that's probably the biggest prize of me. I guess probably Newman.

I am not surprised at RCR didn't make it because their cars are slow. just looking at it from a talent perspective. Casey Kane's kind of hard to swallow. From a speed perspective and from a preparation perspective, Kurt Busch had more time than anybody to get ready for this playoff. He won the Daytona 500. He had 25 weeks plus to get ready to run these races.

He made a lot of mental errors. He got a speeding penalty. He got in a wreck. He had a commitment cone violation this weekend. Kurt Bush is a wheelman. He is still one of the best. I'm really surprised at the mental errors that he made. And I'm really surprised that Ricky Stenhouse made it.

Because he's in the same boat as the RCR guys. He's not in fast stuff right now. And I think you've got to give your hats off to Brian Patty yesterday because that first stage where T.J. and I got bit by that yellow, Ricky Stenhouse got a huge finish there that got him a lot of bonus points. And ultimately, that probably single-handedly put him into the second round. T.J., you get a rebuttal. I'm good on the rebuttal.

Three different tracks will make up the opening round of the playoffs next year with Vegas, Richmond, and the Charlotte Roble. Will this be a good change? Brett? I didn't hear the question. What the hell you mean? I just saw some out on TV and I was watching the TV in there. Who are you, Clint getting all?

It's the same show. I thought TJ always went first and three different tracks. We'll be making up the opening round of the playoffs next year with Vegas, Richmond and the Charlotte Rover. Richmond is in the playoff? Opening round. Are we sure about that? I didn't write the question.

I didn't either. Indy is now the cutoff. Next year. So Indies a cutoff in Vegas, Richmond, Charlotte. Is this a good change? Confirming now. I would say, I hope so. I don't know about this roble.

It's T.J.'s turn. I don't really. There's no way this is right. Chicago's always the first race. Jason. Are we sure? Hold on. Yes.

India's the cutoff and then it goes Vegas, Richmond, Charlotte, Dober, where's Chicago? We've talked about this before. Where's Chicago at? Illinois. It's not in the playoffs. It's in Illinois. There's noise in Illinois.

Illinois. Damn. This Jason guys got this shit together. He knows something we didn't know. The hell, Jason. We had to Google it. Chicago is July 1st. Oh, my.

Gosh, that's the Firecracker 400. It's before Daytona now. I think this is a good lineup. I mean, I think that you, you know, I always, when we kick this thing off in New Hampshire for years, I was like, what are we doing here? This is the middle of nowhere. We need to take a week off before the playoff. Let these guys do a media tour.

Kick it off in a fun market. There's not a better market than Vegas. I know Vegas right now, we all have heavy hearts for that place. But when you think of Vegas, despite what this idiot did from, this balcony, you still think of fun. And how can you not think Vegas is a good place to start this deal? I think it's great. I think Richmond's a great track to go through next short tracks.

There is not a bad place on the schedule for a short track. You could tell me that if they come out and said, hey, we're going to erase all the mile and a half this year. We're going to run all the short tracks across the U.S. I would be excited. Sign me up. I'm ready to go. Let's run 40 of them.

Screw it. And, you know, I think the roval is actually going to be pretty fun. because it's different. We're not going back to the same old thing that we've been going to. We're going back to something completely new, different, trying stuff. I think this is great for Charlotte anyway.

For sure. I mean, Charlotte hasn't been the best race over the years and now we're changing it up to make it something interesting. There's going to be different strategy. Road courses are good. You can pick without losing a lap. That makes different strategies come into effect.

I'm looking forward to it. Harrison Burton won the K&N East title on Friday at Dover. Who is the most promising young driver right now not competing full-time in Cup Xfinity Air trucks. You know, Jason guys got great questions this week. I probably got to go with the guy

that cut a tire, something happened to him in that race. His name's Todd Gillow. Yeah, Todd Gilling. This guy that you're trying to sell us on that you don't know his name. Todd wins.

He's been around for a little bit. Todd's been doing very good in everything he gets in. He's running for the West Series title as well. So he's been raised. racing a lot of stuff. And he's doing really well. I think he's definitely one of the up-and-coming guys.

I really like the Majesky kid a lot, but since signing with Rausch, he's been out of the car a lot. He goes and runs that super late model. He won 25-30 races the last couple years running in the Midwest, and that's a really strong super late model market. Strong tour.

So they bring him over here and they run him in a few Xenia races a year and some marker races. And he's okay, but I really think they're missing the boat on that kid right now. Hell, let's break some news on this show. Break it. Todd Gilliland will run full-time next year at KBM, I guarantee you,

because he's their next project, I think. I think he's their next Eric Jones, he's their next Christopher Bell, like he's their guy. I think they'll tap him and say, he's full-time. Ty Majeski. I think he's full-time at Roush and Exfinity Car, and I think they got to put him there. But I think the most promising young driver,

not full-time in Cup Exfinity or Trucks is Bubba Wallace. we'll see him full-time in a cup car next year too. Y'all write all this down and set your little alarms because one of these days your alarm's going to go off when you're going to read. Those three guys are all running full-time. Is he going to have some pizza?

He's going to have a car. He's done. I'm telling you. He will be in a full-time cup car every week. I hope so. Bubba's deserved it. And he's a great personality at the racetrack as well. I like Bubba a lot.

Yep, me too. The round of 12 begins at Charlotte, which four drivers will be eliminated after Kansas. Oh, we got a list. There you go. Well, let's just go with Stenhouse. Yeah, man. TJ.

Yeah. Oh, look at this list. These are big name guys, and four of them are going to the house. And there's... Going to the house. They are. Man, McMurray snuck his way in. And McMurray's not...

He's not one of the slower guys. He just didn't have a lot of these bonus points. You know, some of these guys like Ricky Stenhouse, if he's not sitting on these 10 bonus points, which he obviously got from a win... You guys picked him to be out, didn't you? He's three points out if he didn't have those bonus points. And the crazy thing is that I think he's out again.

We just keep picking him to follow out. He's going to go eventually. These are big names, man. They definitely are big names. Let's talk about the tracks. What's the tracks? Charlotte, Talladega. Kansas.

Mile and a half. I like Kansas. Madness. Mile and a half. See, last year, we had an elimination race at Talladega. they said it was too stressful. We had to change it. We couldn't go there again.

We had to finish it at a non-dramatic place. So I can't believe TV went for this crap because that race was intense. Remember, Martin Truex fell out. And that's when they were like, uh-oh, this guy is so fast and dominated. How do we set up a model that rewards that? Because he shouldn't go out because of a plate race. Well, he did. And it's still, we still got pandemonium coming at Talladega.

And it's Dale Earnhardt's Jr.'s last race. ever at Talladega. Like, this is a party. Parted. Are we doing something there? Junior Motorsports? We haven't won't one in fan things. We won't be there.

The trucks were there. Well, you should come, Josh. No, it's our off weekend. I'm not going to be big. So who's your four? It's going to be lit. I got to go. Stenhouse, number one.

Can you believe how slow Matt Kenseth was yesterday? You know what? I was actually going to... He's Matt Kenseth. Man. You feel like you. can't say he's out because we all know how good of a driver he is. I'm just looking at the list up here above him.

I mean, it's hard to pick. I got to go, you know, Blaney makes me nervous. Yeah. So I got to go Stenhouse, Ryan Blaney. And it's all going to, McMurray's runs all going to come down to Talladega. Yeah. Does he wreck or does he win? Right.

And I right now feel like he's going to be too aggressive. He's made a lot of aggressive moves at plate tracks here recently, and I think he's going to bite him this time. So I go Blaney, Stenthouse, McMurray. And... Think about this, though. Ricky's won. Yeah, you don't do it three in a row, though. Never.

No. I mean, we got close, but I mean... You're not going to bet that he wins another plate race. I feel like he's going to be a little too aggressive this time because he's won a couple in a row here or whatever. He won Talladega in Daytona, so now he's going in there saying, I got this one. So Ricky Big Head Stenhouse is what you're naming it. No, that's what you named him now.

Well, you said he's going to have a big hit. He's too cocky. I didn't say that. I said he's going there with a lot of confidence, and I think it's going to bite him. He hid in at it, didn't he, Kristen? I got to go with, man, I hate to say this guy's name because I like him a lot. But I think McMurray's out. I think Stenhouse is out.

I think Jimmy Johnson may be in trouble. Really? I just, I'm not seeing the speed. I mean, he's... He doesn't have to have a lot of it. He'll be fine at Charlotte. He runs good at Charlotte. Always finds his way up there.

He better run good at Talladega in Kansas. And he normally does run good at Talladega. He runs good everywhere. He runs. He runs good everywhere. Jimmy Johnson, but we got to pick a big name to fall out, T.J. is a personal. The big name...

The big name to me that scares me is, I'm not going to lie, is Martin Truex Jr. Wow, why? He's got so many bonus points. Martin always seems to find the trouble at Talladega. He's 50 points to the good right now. I know. That's the only reason. That's one whole race.

Yeah. So. He could get to get to bed and still make the next round. He, I'm telling you, if a... He could drive around backwards. If a deer crosses the track, if a deer runs across the track of Talladega, he's going to hit it. Yes.

It's catching a ride. Martin always has the worst luck at places like Talladeg and Daytona. So I tell you what I've learned in this 10-minute discussion is we don't know who isn't going to make it other than Stenhouse. That's the only one we agree on. Yeah, I mean, Blaney's been fast at Talladega, too, and he could be fast at Charlotte. So the scary McMurray's probably, you know, I hate it, but he's probably the weak link here, him in Stenhouse. What do you think Dale Jr's mindset is going into his last Talladega race? You know, I think he's excited for it. I think he's wearing the helmet cam maybe. Yeah.

I think he signed up for that or something, so I think he's excited for it. Yeah. We get through Charlotte with some more momentum carry, and I think he'll be ready to go. So I think it'll be good. Looking forward to it. The Off the Well topic. Twitter is now testing out a 280 character limit. Do you like this idea?

Should it stick to 140 characters? Man, why are they doing this? I don't know either. Like, I don't want to read more. I hate Facebook. And I love Twitter, and they're screwing up Twitter. The Twitter. Just leaving it at 140.

Yeah, I think 140 is actually pretty good. That's what makes Twitter different. don't have these long, long, long, long posts. The most aggravating thing right now is whenever you go to someone, you have to tap a link to finish reading their post. That sucks. You should not, like, Twitter's... I'll tell you what else sucks.

Is when you follow a sports person and they keep tweeting political b-hast. You can lock and unfollow them. That's what you do. I know. I hear that's common these days. I heard it happen this weekend. Well, what happens is they're covering stuff that's so irrelevant. Like you have some idiot that wants to come to the racetrack and burn a Confederate and Nazi flag and get attention.

And what do these media people do? They give him attention. There's not another person out there around him. Nobody cares because we think he's an idiot and he has his right to protest, which, God, we all know that's a big deal. Stop giving these people a voice. It'll go away. Nobody cares. I'm with you.

You're with me? I'm with you. Who is it? Who was it? It's a bunch of them. A bunch of people. A bunch of people. Boo.

All right, we're going to hashtag AskDBC, where our new producer, Jason Schultz, has chosen a few hashtag Asked ABC questions. It's a good show, Jason. Jason has stepped his game up today. Don't ruin it here, Jason. Jason, remember the dinger today. This guy might get a race.

Oh, we'll see if he messes these up. Anything would be a race. Is he old enough to drink? I think he's getting like college credit. it for it or something, right? Like an internship? I don't know. He's in college.

Yeah. You can put that on your resume, right? Why does Jason not... I don't know. Why did we not take him the Dover and let him hang out with you guys so he can get some show stuff? He ain't ready for all this, though. This is not amateur hour.

Apparently, Shane is not either. You gotta have at least eight years on the circuit traveling to... You imagine the content he could have for the show if he went one time? Josh, stop it to go. Stop it. Is he 21? I don't know. Who cares?

All right, you ready? He doesn't have to drink. He could be the DD. Exactly. You are thinking. I like where your head's at. That actually is a great idea. You're right.

You should take the portable, the mobile podcast unit, get a limo and drive around Charlotte with drinks into our podcast. Yenling out the windows. Shisho. Woo! That would be like a two-hour episode. Can you imagine having to add. Edit that thing? We don't have to do it.

Well, my 20-year career would come to an end on that evening. Brett's out there party boy and somebody on the street. I think we'd all get fired. Hi. Or raises or hired somewhere else. So cute. All right. At did Gordon win.

That's an interesting Twitter name asks. Did Gordon win X? Seemed Dover produced Better Racing Sunday. Was it a better tire? I think it was a better tire from the standpoint of we could pass. It wasn't a parade. I mean, we were running, as T.J.

alluded to earlier, three, four, five lanes around that place at any point in time. And the faster cars seem to be able to get by the next guy. And that's what creates good racing. I think it was a much better tire. I think the shocking part, though, here is they're going so fast. They're driving so hard. Nobody wrecked except Jeffrey Earnhardt, which means the downforce. in these cars is through the roof because at a place that hard and that fast and that slick

we should be seeing guys these cars are stuck to that racetrack normally we see dover dover normally eats race cars and dover did not call the monster yeah the monster did not come out so the infinity race was super boring i thought the uh they're gonna have to rename the monster i thought the cup race was pretty good though as far as moving around wise what you could there was a lot to go for in that race. You had grooves, people slowing down, people going forward,

the tires were, the stages were good length for once. You actually had to pit in a stage and it wasn't a feature race without pitting or anything. Not the Xfinity race. The stage was 60 laps. I'm talking about the cup race.

Oh. Carry on. You carry on. Carry on. Carry on. At DSM Record 26 asks, have you heard of any arrow changes or other changes coming to the cup cars next year?

I think the biggest arrow change you're going to see Chevrolet getting this new nose. It's a big deal. And when you look at it graphically, to me, it looked a hell of a lot like the Toyota nose. And we all know how fast those cars are this year. So I think that's the biggest era of change you see.

I mean, the thing is, like, we used to show up and race pretty much with whatever you could bring. Now, yeah, we have parameters, but we all had different bodies. The Batmobile, man, you could bring a Batmobile and run it. Damn near could. I mean, look at the 70s with the, I mean, those crazy big. wings and then you look at, I mean, I remember the 20 car being taken at Texas. Yeah.

Because Zippy showed up with this funky roof and NASCAR's like, hey, we're not letting that go on the racetracks. Like, hey, it made it through templates. And they were like, yeah, it did. But it shouldn't have. Like it's, oh, they had a roof all twist. It was badass. But like that was innovative.

Now we're in such small boxes. It's really, really hard. getting that advantage. This is back when the fabricators that we used to have and hire, they were high dollar fabricators because they knew how to form this metal and make these cars a certain ways. The left front fender used to be so stuck up in the air to hook that air when you get to the corner. They were awesome.

They were works of art, man. And I kind of wish we could get back to that. And we're going away from that because when you look at these composite bodies, It's the exact opposite of me saying, Junior Motorsports as a company, build the best thing that you can build and bring it to the racetrack. Instead, it's go buy this body

and put it on your race car. We still got to have body hangers. Those talented people, T.J. is referencing. We still got to have them. But they can't work their, they can't do their craft. Yeah, they can't work their craft here. And the part that sucks, but if you're going to make us have noses,

why does Toyota get that nose that has all them ridges and stuff? And then why do we not, saw it in the same nose and put different stickers on it. If you're going to put us, let us do this stuff. Let us make, let us work on them. Let these guys do their craft. Let us, let us find the air. Let us do stuff like that, you know.

Bill Elliott ran 22012 miles an hour around Talladega Super Speedway. And you know how he did it, Kristen? How did he do it, Brett? He built his car a little bit smaller than everybody else's. Still fit the templates, but his car wasn't as big. So therefore it wasn't as big of a thing going through the air. It was a smaller thing going through the air, therefore it went faster. Like, that innovation is what makes racing exciting from the standpoint of the guys building

the cars. I like seeing the guys make them noses and stuff like they were. And, you know, I think there's a way we could get back to that, but, you know, obviously it'd be a little ways off. We could still have templates for it. We could still have, we could all still fit the same template. Yeah. But we need to the... There's just so many. any templates. You know, if you set a Toyota nose down on a Chevy nose, they look completely different. You know, and I just wish we could all just work on them more and make different, you know what I mean?

Make them. Make them. Build them. Yeah, build them. At original Kev B. S has Spotter silly season started. What's the latest news? TJ, you're in this.

I'm not part of any silly season. You're the guy. Tell us where you're going, man. I don't know. I'm retired. You're just shut off. I like your shoes. Yeah, nice shoes, Brett.

Oh, yeah. let's change the subject. There is spotter silly season coming. It's been in effect for about four months. The Ramos, well, it's been in effect since Dale Jr. said he was retiring because T.J. still needs a job. He's got a new kid. He didn't get the job with the capitals being PR for the hockey team.

Speaking of the kids, she got shots today. It's going to be a bad day. She is. There's pictures he put on Facebook. He's changed the subject again. The most spotters I recall seeing change teams in one year. Is this year? Was 11.

And I don't think we'll, get to 11, but I think we'll see a lot. I'm surprised you have a number for that. I know one this changing teams. Who? Who? Your feet don't fit around a branch. You know who?

Who? You know who? I will, you know, I think we'll be ready soon to talk about what my future plans are. You're going to wait until after Homestead? You're going to break it here? I am not going to wait until after Homestead. When are you going to break it? I like for... He's not going to do it here.

He's going to do it on Twitter. I've been talking. You're going to do it. Letting the people know that need to know that need to find out before they hear it on social media and everything. If you tweet it, I don't know. I'd like for people to know a handful of people that, you know, that need to know before that. Maybe next week. Another fire and ice story, Josh.

Oh, geez. Matt Dillner. We all know Matt Dillner. Long-time camera guy in NASCAR. Bob Dillner's his brother. Matt is, I respect that guy a ton. Always been a great guy. He comes up to me in Fire and Ice and says, I got to tell you guys something.

I was like, oh, well, God, after tonight, I don't know what you're going to tell me. He said, door bumper clear is the best thing in NASCAR. You guys, keep it real. You say what's on your mind. Y'all are the best thing going on. He's a good dude. So I just want to tell you guys that. He loves you.

So shout out to Dillner. Yeah. He's a cool guy. And I will say, he loves racing. I got a message from Glock and Bob saying thanks too for, you know, but those guys put in a lot of work. They do. So, but anyway, there'll be a lot of, there'll be some spotter changes still. this year.

Yeah. There's still some seats to be filled. William Byron needs somebody. Josh and I are going to break our silly season news here soon, too. I know three or four guys that are making changes, and I think there's another three or four guys that probably don't know they're going to be changed. So. Hey, who was that dude with you and Freddie at the bar on Friday night at the over?

I don't know what you're talking about. Friday night, the night you were half naked? Yes. I recognize him, but I forgot his name. I don't recognize them too Tommy Was that who it was? Baldwin

No, I know Baldwin Well, he was with us No, at the the sports book bar Will? Who else was with us? Their guy with white hair? Woody.

Woody. That's Tommy Baldwin's bus driver. Gotcha, okay. I thought I recognized it. I'm telling y'all, all you listeners, we live in 90210, Beverly Hills 90210, we are NASCAR Redneck

90210 three nights a week. Yeah. That's what we do. I love Baldwin. You're like 90210 now, but you grew up in the Walton's. Oh, hey, Brett, you'll like this, and the listeners will like this. From last episode, I was walking through the garage on Friday, and Elliot passed me. He was like, hey, call Will.

Tell him to come get me up. Did he. Oh, my gosh. So he goes up to Landon, our gas man, and he goes, he goes, you make fun of me? He goes, you make fun of me? And Landon goes, what? And he goes, I hear you do an accent. And you do my accident.

He goes, oh, hell yeah. So he starts doing it. Elliot's like, that's messed up. Have you heard Landon saying? Yes. I love Landon. He's awesome. He's one of my favorite people.

So we're waiting for pre-race. And it's me, Kevin, Tyler, Shana, and Elliot. And Ellie turns to Kevin, mendering our crew chief. And he goes, how often is Landon doing that impression of me? And Kevin doesn't skip me. He's like, every weekend. And so, Ellie goes, that is so f*** up.

And he runs over to Landon. The worst thing about, like, Elliot, you know, lives in Emporia, Virginia, and there's like a 40-mile radius where they sound like they're from the bayou. There's a moose in the house. So every time we go out to eat, every time we go out to eat, it never fails. The bartender or server goes, where are you from? He's like, But Montana. Now you're not from Montana. So it becomes, or he'll say New York City.

New York City. Like he'll say some random crap. But literally, like, they don't say ambulance. They say ambulance. Like, they just say, they just, like, when I say my power goes out, as in we don't have electricity. They say, we lost current. What?

I'm like, what are you sailing? What is current? Yeah. How do we lose current? You're swimming or something? Is there a tide roll-in? Like, rolled out. Like, they just, it's like that little area just.

It has its own dialect. Because Rick has had a little bit of it. He would always look, hey, give me a cold water, a water. I need a water. I need some butter. Yeah, they say butter instead of butter. She's so cute. Most people, most people say out.

Yeah. Sheriff says, out, out, out the back. Out, out the back. My favorite part of my fat cat was spot, he'd be coming by the check of flag stand. I was like, hey, but there's more than one flag in that stand. It's the start finish line. Check a flag stand. Anyway, bless their hearts. That's funny.

When they all get together during hunting season? I'm going to record it, and we're going to play it next year. You can't understand a word these people say. I told you, when we go to the road courses, I can't understand. The deer, chasing the deer, around the house. They hunt with them dogs, too. Yeah, dogs, dogs. Dogs.

They're dogs. Dogs. Dogs. Hems. Hump some dogs. Docks. Run them dogs. Yeah.

At Fisherman 480s, have any of you all been scared on a flight back from the track, one of those, oh, crap moments with the plane? This is on show. Every weekend. Yes, we have. We've all flown at some point. Something called Concy Air. It's Concy Scare is what it really stands for.

Conair. I think we've all had a time or two. T.J. can't talk about any of his until next year. Yeah, I'm not allowed. Next year he can tell us about the one with a smoke in the cockpit. Yeah, that was scary. I got to ask you this one, though. Were you on the plane when Del Jr. lost, is it compression?

I wasn't on that one. What do you lose when you're thinking? Pressure. Pressure. Current. You lose the current. It becomes de-pressurized. No.

No. Uh-uh. That had to be scary. Yeah. I would not want to be on that. That was the old plane. Elliot and I left Michigan. So we leave the racetrack on a helicopter and we get to the airport.

There's 100 planes there. Elliot's pilot looks at us and goes, hey, there's a lot of storms in the area. We don't need to leave tonight. We need to leave tomorrow. we leave and we go to the holiday end and we come back the next morning and 99 planes are gone ours is the last one there and it's like well man i hope everybody made it safe so we get on this little plane a little bitty prop plane we proceed to fly into the worst hellstorm in american history i thought elliot was going to kill this dude he's screaming at him laying this plane you dumb ass turn around and a guy turns around his name was

Neil, and he says, I can't. We're stuck. It sounds like baseballs are hitting this airplane, and I literally, I look over there, like, his legs are sweating. And I was like, we're going to die. Like, this is how I'm going to die. With Elliot. There's only two ways I don't want to die.

I don't want to die on a bicycle and a car hit me, and I don't want to die on an airplane. And I'm thinking, this is it. He looks at me, and he says, I swear to God, if we ever get this on the ground, we will never get back on this airplane again, and we didn't. He bought a new airplane the next week. Scared the living day for 20 solid minutes. And it felt like, I promise you, I lost years on my life. Jump out.

Out to the ground. Yeah, that would not be much fun. But it's one of the deals where you're like, man, I hope everybody made it. And then we fly into this. We took off one time out of New Hampshire, same pilot, same plane, before the. Hellstorm. Did he get a new pilot? Did he get a new pilot?

Oh yeah, we got new everything. It's lightning out the sides. You know, thunderstorms everywhere. We're bouncing around. Pilot turns around and goes, hey, yeah, our radar just went out. Don't tell me that. Okay, it's dark. It's lightning.

And then he proceeds to say, what do y'all want to do? What? Land this damn thing. How about we land, you dumb ass? So here we come circling in, like somebody's shooting at us with our RPGs, you know, trying to miss these thunderstorms. We land on the ground in Boston and me, him and Hermie, proceed to drive 18 hours home. Holy crap.

Yeah, because the radar went out. What y'all want to do? Keep flying. Well, the damn sure ain't flying the dark and tornadoes, you dumb ass. And that what's your paid to decide here? I want to be safe. He was a cargo pilot in Alaska, so nothing scared this guy. Yeah.

My cousin, he never changed clothes. We went to eat one time at Dover at Sambo's, and he ate those crabs, and he got the crabs all over. him. That didn't sound good. He got crab juice on his shirt. That also sounds disgusting. That sounds disgusting. Shows up at the track the next day and guess what was all over his shirt? Butter.

Crab juice. He didn't even change shirts. And this guy was, he was in control of our lives for a while. That guy's a mess. Who hired him? Yeah. Not a. Elliot's dad hired him.

Herman? He's done. Kick him out. He's no hiring here. Kick him out. Kick him out. He's out. All right, y'all have anything you want to rant about it?

Was that your rant? I'm pretty sure that he's going to text me and he's going to be like, you're fired. That's probably a good rant. Oh, God, that was scary plane moments. I hate planes. I don't like weightless feelings. G-force. I don't mind G's.

I don't like the negative Gs. Like roller coaster gees. Do you wear your seatboat when you fly? I'm tight as hell. like cut off circulation white that's gonna save you what was the most recent one we had

where we also had to fly into a different airport what race was that there was like lightning all around us was that dagga yeah we did tie de one and they had to send us to the other yeah

helia said he was quitting his job after that weekend he's like scary slide of every minute on I'm done this this year we were flying into that one right at Atlanta yeah the one right by the speedway You know that, like, that's just a field.

There's no tower. Terra field. That's what it's called. Yeah. So we're on our approach and all of a sudden this plane pulls out onto the runway. And I mean, our pilots gassing up. We're banking hard. Back over the speedway.

We all look at each other like, damn, we just almost died in Atlanta. Or in Hampton, Georgia. Excuse me. Yeah, Tara Field. We were trying to land after Daytona one time. And it was dark and it was foggy after the 500. And we got to the ground. We had the lights on and all you can see was white at the window.

And we got real close to the ground where you could see it. We were probably 15 feet up or whatever. And we were halfway on the runway and halfway off the runway. So they took back off. We did that one time in MWR and we were over a trailer park. I was like, we're going to ready to kill everybody and the trailer parks. Yeah, we swear last year when we were flying concierge, Connie, as we like to call it.

We were landing at Daytona 500, and the damn thing was sideways. The wind was blowing so hard. Yeah. That doesn't bother me as much as like, it bothers me when you can see the runway outside of your window. The thing is, we fly probably 350 hours a year between, you know, ish. And every hour is not going to be enjoyable. No, obviously.

None of them are enjoyable. I was about to say 300. 49 of those hours aren't enjoyable. I just, it makes me nervous. You're defying gravity. You know how hard that is? Drop this little light sheet of paper and watch how fast it falls. And then you're supposed to tell me that that's okay that that thing that weighs

a gazillion pounds is flying in there at 50,000 feet. Azeillion. Hell no, that ain't all right. That ain't normal. Oh, boy. Airplanes are very safe, though, considering. But it still. You were more likely to die in that car driving 18 hours than you were to fly at a plane.

100% accurate, but I'm not scared as hell in a car. Well, it depends on who's driving. What y'all want to do? We got three flats when we keep going, which I want to do. Speaking of flats. We had a flat tire this weekend. We get in the car to go to the track on Friday morning, and it says low tire pressure. And Josh is like, we could put air in it, but let's not.

We get to the track. We have our day. We come out, and what's his name? Mike from NBC. he's swerving behind me with his arms behind us I thought he was pissed because I cut him off but he was trying to tell us that our right rear was flat

we get to valet they're like we won't valet this thing with a flat tire so we pull over in a fire lane and Josh and Hudson put the donut on there was a screw in the side of the tire I got a question how do you go down the road and not know

you have a flat tire? I never know I'm bad at it I did it last year leaving Concord too. Do you not feel that funny sensation in the wheel? No, I'm a bad driver. Okay. I drive fast. With a flat.

Half naked. Half naked with a flat. There's no way she's ever had a speeding ticket. No. I've never asked Brett to get me out of a speeding ticket. Was that really speeding? In Virginia. Officer, I can touch my elbows behind my back.

We got a pick. Brett is still winning 16 to 13. hashtag DBC picks. I'm losing my edge. But T.J. won this weekend with Cawler. I have won like three or four in a row here. Killing me.

So I'm going with Martin Truex. Oh, yeah. That's who you're going with this week? Really? Yep. Who you got, Tej? That's a douche move. He's not been dominant at Charlotte lately.

That's a douche move. Oh. And I don't have to fly this week. We can drive to Charlotte. Yes. Amazing. I have a really busy week. I've already used my second.

by the pick that would be obviously You know what? Screw it out. I used him too. It's like this extra piece of paper. It doesn't have anything on it. Look, watch how fast this falls. And you tell me it's okay to get on an airplane. You cannot compare a piece of paper to a plane. We can make this piece of paper into a plane.

It's still going to fall. This is going to hurt. It's not normal. So you want to John Maddenet and drive to every racetrack? If I was rich, I would. Get wheel to drive you? Wheel. Josh, text wheel.

Call wheel. Tell them come take me up. I will take... What you're doing? The winner of this week, other than 88, will be Brad Keselowski. Two car. BK.

BK and House. Brad's due for a good run there since he caoed a back of chase the last race there. All right. Unless Kyle Busch slapsing with the STFU. I've already used. Yeah, I've already used Larson and Bush, so... Bush. beer.

Like, that's what I would want my last name to be. I would change my last name. Remember the commercials? Brett Bush. That sounds awesome. Do you not remember the commercial on TV? Bush. Beer.

Bush, beer. Yeah. Yeah, my, somebody always said, real men like Bush. Okay. Beer. We're talking about beer. Never know. Why do you always go there?

Because you two are like 16-year-old boys. Hey, we're, uh, this is. You ever have a moist bush bread? You can't say that. Can you edit that out? Can he say that on here? I'm talking about a wet beer. Jason, edit that out.

There's no swear words in that. Poor Layla. I mean, you hate that word, them words together. I promise you. I hate when you say them when it's incorrect, those words. Let me ask you something. Moist. Why does a woman, this.

is a true question. Why do a lot of females dislike the word moist? I don't know. It's the what happens. What goes through your mind to make you dislike that word? I don't know. I mean, there are words I don't like, but I don't understand the dislike for moist. So I'm polling all you listeners. It says Kristen won't answer the question. I don't want any tweets at reply to me that have. I want a lot. I want I don't know. This is a legitimate presentation of a question. I want moist DM tweets. So Josh and I name every track based on basically like weather and whatever. Dover Dusty. That horse track.

God, I hate that thing. I didn't know. This is, I bought these shoes. Indie hot. Indiana. Iowa moist. They were moist and Iowa. So why do you hate moist?

I don't know. What? Because. What about the word I know. This is serious. We all stop getting off track. I don't. I don't know.

Why? I don't know. Michigan miserable. I don't like the word honk either. Honk. Honk. Honk if you're moist. Hong if you're moist.

Like I don't like that word either. What? Honk. Who says that word? Why is moist and gross? I don't know. Well, you know. It's just the sound of it.

What other words do you not like that are such? I don't like when people say. say such. And they like emphasize the CH a lot. Such. Suck? I also hate the word when people use the word literally wrong. Literally?

She does hate that. Literally. I go to about a 10 when someone says, I literally blew that guy up. And I'm like, what the? No, you didn't. Does it literally make you mad? Are you literally getting mad? Do you literally go to a tent?

I do. Do you mean people literally get moist? Or when people use like, stop saying it. All right. Thanks to One Main and Exalted. We would literally like to thank one main and exalted. We're getting to know you right now. You already know me.

Told you. See? Who invented that word? Honk. I don't know. I'm not an etymologist. Who invented the word moist? I don't understand the dislike for that word.

I really don't. It's like moist is the go between, between, like, really wet. Because it just reminds me of how gross the weather is when we're at the racetrack and it's hot out. I don't know. I personally like the word moist. It's a dry heat. I think moist is a great word. Josh, any stories on the word moist?
