Oh, yeah. Hey, everybody. I'm T.J. Majors. It's part of the 22-cup car. 25 truck whenever we run again. Next year, I don't know, something. What's your next? Sixthinity race?

Not for a while. Like months. Brett Griffin. Thanks to One-Mate Financial for bringing this podcast to you guys today. Spotter for Clint Boyer, Elliot Sadler, Maya Snyder again in a couple weeks, and we have a new co-host this week.

We do. I don't know if she knows this, so I'm just going to just open the show up with this. Casey told us last week that you've had a lot of boyfriends, Natalie. No, she did. Yes, she did. We want you to come clean on how many boyfriends you've had.

I have not had a lot of boyfriends, and she did try to defend me, but you guys kept cutting her off. She brought it up. I mean, she half-ass defended me. I wouldn't even give half-ass. I give eight pass. One 16th ass. Since I've, like, worked at Junior Motorsports, I've only had...

Oh, easy. Easy. She's been there three weeks. I've only had one point. Well, now one, and now I'm on my second. Okay. What I got here, you was dating some guy with bird legs. Who's bird legs?

He was a great big dude up top. Football player. Oh, that's right. That's right, because we saw that. Yeah. Remember bird leg guy? We did. He was like...

You were dating that guy. Yeah, he skipped leg day. Yeah. He plays for the... Denver Broncos. Don't care. Now you're dating this other guy. Yeah.

So that's three. See, you can't keep up. Yeah, but okay. So Connor and I were on the outs when I first started here. So that was like, that doesn't. But then like, so that ended in March and then I started this other guy in November. So. How's that going?

Go ahead. Yeah. You aren't engaged? No. We've been really good friends for like three years. Yeah. Okay. Anyways.

So Casey, where's Casey at this week? Why is she not here? She's got work obligations. Oh my gosh. Here we go. Planning more trees. Yeah. I saw she was planting trees for Xfinity Comcast.

That's such a great deal. I saw Mike Hilton was there. You don't make fun of anything Mike Hilton's there for. No. You're like, man, that's an awesome deal, dude. That's the coolest thing I've seen in a long time because Mike Hilton's up in there. He's the man. When he walks in, everybody's like, whoop.

I'm not talking. I will say this. I will say this. I've got to have a few conversations with him, Mike, and he's actually a, I mean, once you get by that part, like holy cow, Mike Kenton's here. He's a good dude. He's a good dude. I mean, yeah. I've actually been fortunate enough to have some

conversations with him, and he's a very friendly guy, and he'll remember things that you've been to in the past that you might not, you know, he didn't even, you didn't think he knew you were there, and he saw you, and he'll bring it up, and good guy. I mean, my thing about Mike Hilton is his demeanor

and his presence, you know, and until you have those conversations with him, he scares out of you. He is. He's intimidating. The first time I was really, really around him outside of the racetrack. We were in Nashville and we were at a function, sound to speed, which they used to do, which was an awesome event. And we were there and we all went to sing karaoke.

And Blake Shelton got Helton on stage to sing El Firo with him. So they're up there going, jit-de-de-up, boom-bop, ma'am-mob. So I took a video of it. Mike had to have been drinking. Yeah, but I took a video of it. And I was like, if you ever think I'm in trouble? This thing's going on TMZ, bud. I got you right here.

So he's good dude Yeah It's awesome to see him out Because fans ask for his autograph a ton You know We see him getting on the elevator with us To go up to the roof right before the race To run race control

Or to be in race control I guess there's a lot of people that run it But he has a pretty big name in the sport Yeah and he's he's I think he's done a I think he's done a good job The position he's in First ever non-France president

For NASCAR Yeah and I think he's done He fits position. Yeah. Like he, like the principal type guy, you know, if, yeah. But like I said, once you get by that, he's a, he's a good dude and actually

fairly normal, you know? Yeah. I got to meet him in Indy. We did a women in racing thing and I think he was one of the most, like, excited as far as people goes to meet. I was so excited to meet him. But you, you like walk up to him, you're so intimidated because he's got this like, and he's a big guy with a dark hair and mustache.

Big mustache. Yeah. He's just got this intimidating. Look to him like. I don't want to mess with you. That's crazy. What's girls in racing? What is that?

That sounds fun. It was a women in racing program that I did years ago with Lynn St. James. Yeah. Oh, how cool. It was really neat. So we all got to go to indie and do some on track stuff, meet a whole bunch of different people, meet other girls in racing. That's actually where I met Tiffany Daniel.

So I've known Tiffany for over probably 12 years. Yeah. And so then when I came... Yeah. Then when I moved here and she'd worked here, and so she kind of helped give me advice and things like that. So you think we can get in on this organization? Women in racing?

I think we'd fit in. They need our perspective. As short as some of the shorts you wear, you would fit in. This is true. I love it. Richmond, man, we finally had a good weather day for a cup race. Yeah, I mean, it was cold. Friday was freezing.

Yeah, it was cold. Late at night, you know, at the end of the race, it was kind of cold. But other than that, other than that, weather was great. I love that track Matt track's cool I love the track it's a good race track it actually shows some of his characteristics

slash ray at last weekend what it can be I'll be I'm interested seeing what the new infield looks like when it's completely done yeah right now it seems seems like a waste of about 30 million dollars

it's just different like there's not there's not as easy ways to get around as I thought you know you got to walk all the way down to three and four to get back to one and two sometimes. And it's like, why do I got to do that? I'm literally, if I could just go 20 yards that way through that door or whatever, around this way, it'd be a lot quicker, but no.

And I don't know. It's under construction. It is. So hopefully that's the problem. The garages are huge. It was a logistical nightmare, to be very honest. The tech process for the guys, and we don't give crew guys on here enough credit. The tech process was idiotic.

I mean, if they didn't pass tech, they literally had to walk like 17. miles to get back through tech because it was it was crazy same thing for us if we leave the roof we have to walk to turn one we come through that tunnel and then we have to walk all way back to turn four down pit road to get back to the next gate to walk to another breezeway to finally get in the garage so you're you're looking at something that's an eighth of a mile from you and you walk two miles to get it's insane but hopefully the weirdest thing for me from the construction process standpoint is the garage is faced away from the grandstand so when you're standing on the roof you can't see your car until it's on the middle of the backstretch, literally,

because it doesn't come out on pit road to exit the garage. They're letting them exit from the garage straight onto the racetrack. We can't see the garage because of the buildings and the way they're laid out, and it was just something we're not accustomed to. But I hope it's $30 million. It sounds like it's going to bring fans a lot of really unique opportunities to get close to the guys, the cars and stars of NASCAR. That's cool.

But here's the cooler part. I saw something in turn four. I don't know if you looked over there. And there were high top chairs. and like play tables in front of you where it looked like you could feel like you were at a bar but sitting at a racetrack. So if anybody's listening that sat over there,

I would love for them to tweet me to say thumbs up or thumbs down because where we were at, I was looking over there going, man, that looks like a cool experience. It looks like a ballpark experience. So when I look at our chairs, like we're still sitting on metal bleachers

like it's the 80s versus when I go to a football game or a baseball game and I've got my own seat. I've got more of my own space. And when you've got a guy that's, you know, 220 pounds and his buddy's 220 pounds. They're on bleachers together. I mean, you almost feel like you're connected to one another. Is there not any racetrack that has individual seats?

Daytona has. I was going to say, I thought Daytona. Phoenix does too much. For 400 million, they got individual seats in there. So that's great. But this place, you had your own seat and it moved, just like a bar stool. That's cool. Yeah.

I think there's another track that has like bar stools and like a bar that overlooks the racetrack too, but I can't remember. The SMI track. It's SMI track. It's a restart bars, Texas, Vegas. Yeah. But I'm telling y'all, that, you know, Yeah, this isn't like a suite.

This isn't like a suite, though. That don't hold 70 people. Yeah, this was like an outdoor thing, like walking into your grand scene. No, this is outdoor too. This is outdoor. Yeah, but you got to go upstairs to get into it, don't you? You got to pay a gazillion dollars. Like, this is all, the stuff that we see is like, you may not be in a suite,

but your club level pricing. I'm telling you, though, so I was, the other weekend, I was watching races, and I, just from my, out of my own curiosity, I compared football, hockey, basketball, and a NASCAR race. as far as pricing goes and like the length of time for an event. And I'm telling you what, it is so expensive to go to a football game, a hockey game, any of those compared to a race. Truly it is. Everybody gives like NASCAR and racing such grief.

It is not that expensive to go to a race. It truly isn't for what you all get. It honestly isn't. I think where you're maybe missing the boat a little bit is the football fan typically drives in that drives home. Yes. And the NASCAR fan, when we go to Bristol, You and I both know. There's only so many people that live in that Tri-Cities area.

So you have to say, am I willing to drive from Raleigh, Charlotte, Columbia, obviously north of there, roll-a-note, wherever those markets are. And the thing is, they can't do that. I stayed in Danville, Virginia, three nights before the cup race. It was $300 for a room at the Marriott. And they told me it was because Hendrick was coming in the next night. I'm like, I don't care if Jesus is coming in tomorrow night. He's not here yet.

Why is my room $300? And it just, man, that's where I think our fans get beat up. I don't think our ticket prices are more than fair. And the reason I say that is we're only asking you to come to this market once, maybe twice. The football games are asking you to come eight, ten times a year. So that $150 ticket is times ten. You know, our ticket is 120 times one. But those freaking hotel rooms, they just, they kill you.

Yeah, I agree. Don't you think they jack up the rooms for football games too? And I don't know because I don't. They do. I've been to one professional football game in my life. So many people drive in and out. You know what I mean? Like, I've never been to a pro game with the exception of Super Bowl where I went in and said,

let's go in. Let's go in. I live in Mooresville. I drive to the Panthers game. You know, I mean, we've even driven to the Atlanta Falcons game. It came back before. Like, it's just rare you go, let's make a weekend of it. And for whatever reason, that's what we've all done with racing is let's make a weekend of it.

I don't think they put the prices up as much around football games. I don't. I've stayed in hotels and I never even thought about it. until now. And I don't remember it wasn't like 300 bucks a night. It was, you know, 100 bucks, whatever for a good room or whatever. I bet you Daytona 500 hotel pricing was double Super Bowl hotel pricing. I bet you.

I heard, you guys are talking about that, I think, on the show, how expensive the hotel rooms were. It's crazy. I can see for maybe smaller towns around racetracks jacking up the price just because it's a small town, whatever it may be. But the majority of it. They do it because we pay it. Yeah. You guys pay it. Yeah, we have to.

I mean, we got to stay in the area. and go to work, you know, and I wish they would come down some on it, but it's tough. Yeah, it's tough. You already kick this thing off. All righty, let's go into spot-on, spot-off. Kyle Bush wins three in a row, ties Buck Baker for 15th most all-time wins. I'm spot-off right now. I knew he was going to say that.

I'm spot off. I'm ready. I'm ready. You know, I, you know. congrats to Kyle and it means he does some of his best tracks you go to somebody's best tracks this can happen with a guy like him just like Harvick he can do the same

he can do the same thing especially when you go you know when you go to Atlanta Harvest is going to be fast so he's got a chance to win two or three in a row That's his fifth at Richmond right Yes you go to these short tracks Richmond Good job Jason Bristol those are

That's Kyle's playgrounds So you know it can happen but yeah spot off I was most surprised and as a guy who respects the sport, I guess it's my own fault. But I had no idea of Buck Baker had won 45 races. 46. And it was 46 races.

Dude, you're on it today. I look that up. I like it. This is working, this training process. We're not used to having somebody that knows the answers to this stuff. 46 wins by Buck Baker. Like, holy cow. You know, when I got here, there was a Buck Baker driving school.

And that was the most fun one because it actually let you kind of go out and race each other. And so I think it's obviously big for Kyle. Anybody in any series, I don't care what you're racing. To win three in a row is huge. Yeah. You know, I saw him make a comment that if he win four in a row, it's easier to win the lottery. And then Adele Jr. goes, well, just imagine one in four in a row at Talladega,

you know, because it was a Talladega reference. But good for him, man. Spot on for everybody that's a part of that because you look back on your careers and you go, man, we did something special. And I think it's great for everybody at JGR that's part of that. Spot on, spot off. Kyle Bush joins Dale Jr. on the Dale Jr. download. What a love fest this way.

I was about to puke. Romance. Romance. I'm like, are you guys going to start French kissing each other? I mean, I've watched these guys wreck each other for years. Let me back up. They started the damn podcast with a beer at 8 o'clock in the morning. And donuts.

So huge props for that. Like Kyle Busch is cool factor. went from TJ on a zero to at least a half. For me, he went to at least a five, right? But then I just listened to this love fest and this, oh, my God, I can't believe we hated each other. We were so misunderstood. Just, man, let's hug it out.

And I'm like, I invited you to my wedding and you guys did such a great job on the dance floor. Oh, my God, you set the mood. I was literally going, oh, my God, I can't take listening to this. Spot on for DirtyMo Media for putting that on. big effort, big effort for Kyle, the guy who just won the race to keep his word, come in that early. Obviously, Dale Jr. Del Jr. wrecked Kyle a lot more than Kyle wrecked Dale Jr. I think that's one thing we all took from that podcast.

And I think the coolest. I don't remember that. I think the funniest thing for me, though, is a fan of the sport is, I remember Darrell Waltrup. They called him Jaws because he ran his mouth all the time and they booed the hell out of him. And at the end of his career, everybody cheered for him. And, you know, I was a Big Dale Earnhardt fan. I was a David Pearson fan first and then kind of a Neil Bottet fan and then a huge Del Earnhardt fan. And they booed him.

They hated him. He's the intimidator. And then all of a sudden, everybody starts cheering for him. So I guess the funniest part for me is our Kyle Bush's intentions real because he said he wanted Junior Nation. He made this big ploy at the banquet to get Junior Nation. Now he's come on this podcast and they hugged it out. And so I guess like I'm looking at this thing going, is he trying to go for? from, you know, the four horsemen of wrestling, you know, to this really fun guy that everybody's going to cheer for.

And I saw where he said after the race more people cheered than booed. Is this genuine Kyle Busch coming on this podcast? T.J.R. is he trying to get new fans? I don't know. I don't know. I'm enough. I don't know. You know, I guess I'm spot on because it's over. You know, Dojurn is retired. I guess it has to come out at some point. But everyone, I've enjoyed the rivalry. Being part of it back then, too, was pretty fun.

You know, it's good to see, it's good to see this, you know, I don't think this would have happened five years ago at all, but it's good to see these two. Bear the hatchet. Yeah, be mature enough to come in here and talk about it and be. Let me ask you this. Do you think they're mature enough because they haven't really raced each other the last couple years. I mean, Dale Jr. had injuries. He missed some races. He wasn't running up front

as much as he once did. Do you think if they're still racing door to door every single week that this happens? I don't think it happens at the race in door to door every week still. But after, you know, Kyle's Daytona wreck was probably kind of eye-opening to him. Del Jr. is wreck, you know, and I think a lot of kids, you know, Kyle having a child, Dale Jr., they're both getting married. I think a lot of life experience is just growing up happened. Yeah. And, you know, it was time to, it was cool.

And it was cool to, it's cool to see them come in here and do it. And like you said, Kyle rained out the race day. It's still the, you know, ran the next day, one. Still came in. So that's pretty cool for them to get that done. And Kyle to hold, you know, keep true to his word, like you said. So I'm a spot on for it. Kyle Bush is a really, really fun guy early in his career.

I haven't been around him a lot lately. You know, we went on the lake some, one over to his house to play poker. And I'll say the one thing that I learned on this podcast that I don't know about him is, this guy hates to lose. Like when you listen to him talk about it, you're like, he's a dick after he loses and finishes second. Not because he's being a dick.

It's because he absolutely hates to lose. And I think when you look at what someone, and listen, all these guys can drive race cars that get to the Cup Series. They're all competitive. They all want to win. But I don't think I've ever heard. more hate to lose in someone's breath and life in their body than I heard in his voice. Did you hear when he said, and I agree with him 110% on this, about the blue ribbons and

no participation ribbons. There's a winner and there's a loser, and that is how I'm going to teach my son. Yes. I was like, absolutely. I completely agree with that. Yes. But I mean, you could just by that statement alone, you can tell the competition, the competitive drive, excuse me, that he has.

Yeah. I really enjoy the podcast. I mean, it was an hour and a half long. and I felt like it was 30 minutes. You know what I mean? So kudos to all you guys. Natalie, obviously a big part of Dirtymoe media here. And I think the bars raise now, though.

You're the number one podcast. You had on Kyle Bush, other than the fact that some of the mushy stuff they were said to each other was about to make me puke. Like, what are y'all going to do now? And now we got to do something, T.J. Because we got to, we got to, we got to. You got to get Blake Shelton on here. The Dell Jr. down there can't be better than our show. Get Blake Shelton on here.

Well, we were 157 on the sports. Sports podcast. Now he's looking up everything now. Hey, I was like, if Dale's on there, we should be on there somewhere. Hey, you know it on a wind to be quiet yet, do you? You were going so good. We're top 25, you started producing this show. I didn't see any tweets about it last year.

We were not. You probably weren't enough to be on Twitter last year. Yeah, I just joined this year once turning out, 16. Yeah. When do we turn 100? I'll start after the All-Star race. Okay. Keep our eyes on that.

All right. Spot on, spot off. No cautions in the first two stages, four in the final 50 laps on Saturday night. Racing was good. I liked it. I'm spot on for it. I'm fine with somebody blowing a tire,

you know, having a mechanic issue and the car is coming out. True cautions, that's what they should be. The racing was good. You had, we were getting to the point where you were catching lap cars that didn't want to go a lap down. And it was like,

they were racing you because they knew that was their race. And that's when it gets fun, you know, place catches first place, third place creeps in on them. Then next thing you know, you've got a four-car race for the lead, and there's 10 to go on the stage. I thought it was good.

The most impressive thing for me about the end of those stages, and TJ and I were a part of it, is, you know, we're running 100 laps. That's a long time. You know, that's a long time for me to keep interest in something if I'm a fan. But it's so exciting because the restarts are fun, you know, and then kind of lap 8 through 50, everything gets strung out, everything gets single file, but then lap 50 through 100. a lot of passing. You know, we went up there and battle Kurt for the lead, took the lead, trying

to win stage two, and all of a sudden, here comes T.J. who was just sitting back there, kind of riding, saving his tires, watching us two, race like idiots, and then boom, he goes up there and wins the stage. So for me, I realize we're to short track, cars are closer together, but when you can take and have the top four guys a hundred laps into a run,

and they're passing each other and swapping back and forth, that's exciting for people that actually love racing for racing, and that's what we had. And then the end of it was a complete shisho, wreck fest. I went from a top four car. I think I finished ninth. Guys like Chase Elliott, who we literally, TJ now, had not seen him all night long. He goes up there and runs second, which is great for him.

He was going for it. He was a fifth, sixth place guy. And then all of a sudden, he's second or third or so. I mean, I think those restarts, you know, if you get in the right lane, it helps you. If you be aggressive, it helps you. But it hurt guys like me and TJ. The reason I say that, you know, Danny was probably a fifth. He stretched it on the field on that one run.

He stretched it. You don't stretch that if you have the speed. to win to beat them guys. You stretch it trying to get a caution at the right period of time and leapfrog them. You know, the caution comes out when you're the leader, then everybody's going to pit after you've been out there for 20 extra laps. So, you know, there were guys up there that, you know, and that's how it goes sometimes at the end.

But I thought the first two stages, you know, were great. That's the best tire we've had there, and I don't know what we went. We were saving tires. We were just, we knew a couple guys were quicker. We just wanted to stay within, you know, a straightaway up. of them and chip away at it. As the laps got closer to the end of the stage, we would chip away a little bit at it. It was fun.

It was fun. Fourth, and those cautions started, and he's restart king. He was fast on a short run. Him and Larson are two of the best, and they're really good. They're front runners if their horses, right? And, I mean, they played right into his little wheelhouse there. Yep, it went right. I mean, Kyle didn't have the best long run car. I don't think so.

No. So, I don't know. But so it goes, though, and it was a good race. I thought it was good. Yep. All righty, Brett, your boy, Elliot, Madler wins $100,000 in the dash for cash at Richmond, and now he's eligible to win again at Talladega. How was that?

That's a lot of money. That's a lot of money. $100,000 for Exfinity purse is huge. He's in the Bahamas right now. I saw his graphic tease. I mean, you win the dash for cash, you go on vacation? I almost pute when I saw those, too. What's wrong with these guys?

They should be in Jorts and tank tops, man, with flip-flops on. I don't want to see L.A. in Jorts. He's got hairy legs. You know, dark-haired guys. Long hairy legs. Spot on, Junior Motorsports wins it. It was a really good race. We'll finish third.

And I think, and I'm going to blow TJ here for a second. But I'm really going to miss Joy Lugano in this race on Saturday in Talladega. Because he and Elliot work very well together in plate tracks. And they kind of have a deal. And I don't know that they talked about it, but you can see it. They kind of have a deal that let's help. each other stay up front and stay out of the crap. We know we can work well together.

We know we can not wreck each other. Then in the last five to ten laps, whoever wins wins. And those guys are exceptional plate racers. I say Elliott is the best in Xfinity series. I say Ligano is one of the best in NASCAR. So I'm going to miss having Joy Ligano to work with. I hope that somebody in this race team is listening to this podcast and they talk to each other and they get Reddick and Algar and Elliot to work together because guys that work

together can stay up front together. Yeah, it's, it reminds me of, um, of, you know, working with Dale Jr., even before I was working on them, whenever the DEI cars would go to Daytona, Talladega, it's almost like Hammer Chewex would always kind of find each other. Yeah. And they would always just work with each other. Um, you know, it's, uh, I've seen it before, too, with, with Joey and Ellie. They just, they don't, I don't mean, it's, you don't have to talk about it. They know, they just know, you know, hey, we're going to have a better chance working with each other to, to defeat the rest these guys.

Clint's about his loyal in the draft as Hugh Heffner was in the Playboy Mansion. My man will bounce around in that pack, and I'm like, oh, we just screwed that guy. He's not going to like us in 10 laps. Oh, now we screwed. And we screwed another one. And we've run one lap. And then we get to the end, and I'm like, man, I wonder if anybody's going to help us. I think we've managed to alienate all 39 of these guys in 30 minutes.

Has he won at Talladega? Yeah. He's got one win there, right? I was spotting for him. It's when we ran the tandem stuff, and me and Hamlin were double teaming him. I know that sounds weird to you listeners. But it was when we ran tandem and one guy spotted for two cars. Almost one another tandem one, too, but we pushed Jimmy by.

You pushed Jimmy by. Clint finished second by one of the closest finishes in NASCAR history. But, you know, it's hard for Clint to get in there and work hard for four hours. So he'll get in there and mix it up and then he'll go to back and right around. Do you think that's his dirt car mentality? I don't know. Or is ADD. I think it's ADD.

And I think it's... So tandeming is Clint's wheelhouse. Yeah, tandem. He likes it tandem. I think it's a lot of things. And I think the biggest one is these guys that are getting older are like, why am I going to wreck on lap 40? I got to run 188 laps.

I'm going to at least see lap 188 or try to see it. And, man, the biggest thing people probably don't realize about Talladega is, you know, we're all riding around. We're trying to be smart. The minute they say we're pitting in 10 laps, it's a panic button. Because you have to work to get to the front of the package. because if you come down pit road and you're in the back half of the pack and you slide your tires and have to get four instead of two,

or you have a problem getting fuel in the car, or you drop a lug nut off a tire, you lose the draft and your day is potentially over. A lot of pressure on us as spotters, a lot of pressure on the drivers that when we hear 10 laps until we pit, to work our way up, to work our way to the bottom, and then we always see crashes when pit road opens. It's hard to go to the back and make you're all the way to the front now, though.

It's almost impossible to do, in my opinion. If you go to the back and ride around, it's going to be hard to get back to the front. It's just too many people pull up in front of you. Too many people. It's just hard, really hard. Austin Dillon won the Daytona 500 and led not even a quarter of a lap. That's it. That's all he led.

That's all you have to lead at these play tracks. I mean, when you watch underdogs, you know, like Trevor Bain, like Derek Cope, like David Reagan, you know, we've seen a lot of guys that have come in and been able to just up and win at Talladega. You don't see it as much at Daytona. But Talladega, man, it's five wide, and dude, it's crazy. Yeah, there's more opportunity at Talladega to get through, but it's still harder to come from the back to the front, in my opinion. Yeah. Alrighty, window betting at NASCAR tracks.

Man, I'm a huge fan of this. Why wouldn't we? First of all, it's illegal. That's why we don't. What about draft kings and all that stuff? Well, that's the form of online fantasy play. So they look at fantasy play different, than odds plays.

And when you look at odds plays, that's considered sports betting. Well, they sports bet in Vegas with NASCAR stuff. Well, that's because it's grandfathered in to a rule. So it's Oregon. Jason sent me an article last night. This guy's worked his ass off this week. Look at you, Jason.

Steppen up. It's like Montana, Nevada, Oregon. Nevada? Nevada? Nevada? It's Nevada, girl. Nevada. Nevada. You all crazy.

TJ? I don't care either way. There's a lot of stuff legal in Nevada, Nevada, Nevada. Nevada. And they're working really hard to make it legal in New Jersey. So the NBA has been for two years working really hard to make sports betting legal. And what they're basically saying is, let's make it legal and let's take a percentage of the rate. The last number I saw was a percent and a half of the rake.

And it basically puts the bookies out of business and puts a tax system in place. I think they're worried a little bit about the integrity of the game. But the reality is people are already betting on it anyway. It's just like drug addicts. If they need drugs, they go get drugs. If you want to bet on something, you can bet on something, right? So I'm a huge fan of saying, and Ellie and I have talked about this a ton. Put window bedding at the track.

People go to horse races just for that. They don't know those horses. It'd be fun. And they bet like hell on them. They sit in casinos and don't even know the horses watching on TV and bet on them. So if we had that opportunity, I think it would be super fun for our fans. I definitely think it has another element to go into the racetrack. I mean, people do pools all the time.

when you get to the racetrack, you put your $20 and you pull a number out of the hat, and that's your guy. Now you can go to the window or whatever. I think it would be a fun element. I think it would add to it. And with stages, like now we've got even more bet opportunities. So you can double down and hedge your bet. Boy, that could get interesting. At the end of it, cost you comes out with seven to go on the stage.

Does your guy go from third? Yeah, it'd be awesome. That would be interesting. We need to figure out how to make it happen. All righty, let's take a break. This is the Exaltor Race Center update. I'm Natalie Sainter. Both Cup and Xfinity competed at Richmond Raceway over the weekend.

On Saturday night, Kyle Bush won the Toyota Owners 400, making this his third race win in a row. Bush maintains the points lead over Joey Lugano. Friday night was an action-packed Xfinity race where Christopher Bell best at the field for the Toyota Care 250. Junior Motorsports driver Elliot Sadler, who finished third, would take home a check for $100,000 by winning the dash for cash presented by Xfinity. Fellow junior motor sports drivers Tyler Reddick finished 11th, Justin Alguire 14th, and Michael Annette 20th. Junior Motorsports late model driver Sam Mayer competed at Orange County Speedway, where he rallied back after a hard start to finish seventh in the Cars Tour event. Late model teammate Josh Berry found himself competing in this weekend's Arka Race at Salem Speedway, where he finished fourth respectively. This has been your Exaltta Race Center update.

Alrighty, let's go into Fastlane, where I'm going to give three topics pertaining to racing

and one that's off the wall. Brett and TJ, you each have 30 seconds to respond. Noah Gregson finishes second in his Xfinity debut on Friday. Will he be the next best driver to emerge out of the truck series, TJ? Noah Gregson surprised me on Friday night. He didn't look like that was his first Xfinity race. He moved around. He was great on restarts.

He made it interesting. He hung around, didn't use his stuff up. I saw a lot of things that I wasn't sure Noah Gregson had the ability to do. And, you know, it looked very positive, in my opinion. Is it Gregson or Gregson? Gregson. Gregson, whatever. Gregson, Gregson.

I don't think it's Gregson. Gregson. What did I say? Nevada. You said Gregson, but I thought it was Gregson. Either way. I say oil, and y'all think that's weird. Y'all say water.

I'm not trying to hate on this guy. I'm really not. But I'm going to say this. For me, it just tells me how fast those damn JGR cars are. Because I watched Daniel Hemrick get in a cup car and he looked like a fish out of water. First time he's ever been in one. And that's kind of what you're supposed to look like. And I think when you see a guy that's a rookie that gets in a car for the first time,

that's an okay truck series driver to get in here and being a phenomenal Xfinity series driver. All of a sudden, I have to say that car is super duper fast. He did a phenomenal job as a race car driver. I'm not discounting what he did, but to me it just screams. Look how fast this car is. Yeah, I know the car was fast, but I looked at things like how did he do on resarts? How did he move around? Richmond's a tough place.

And to never, I don't know if he might have run a late model there or something, but Richmond, that would be completely different than, go on there in an Xfinity car for your first time. So to see him move around, you know, use the high groove, move around different lanes and stuff, that was a good sign to me. He did a great job. I couldn't understand for the life of me how Ryan Priest wins $100,000, which would have qualified him for the dash for cash again.

And he wasn't even in the race. I mean, I realized that Gregson or Gregson was on the schedule. But I think I've figured out a way to try to go win me and $100,000. But thanks for not doing that because we appreciate it. here. Taledaga will mark the third consecutive Xfinity race without any cup drivers in the field. Is the racing product better

without cup drivers, Brett? Hands down, yes. The last two weeks, and I realize we've been at short tracks, but the last two weeks have been some of the best racing we've ever seen, is giving guys like Jeremy Clements and Ross Chastain, an opportunity to get up there and run in the top ten.

And it's also given sponsors an opportunity to cling to some of those guys. So I was against this rule when I first read about it. And then I kind of got on board with it. And now I'm 100% on board with it. I can't wait for these next two weeks without cup guys. Yeah, I like some races with the cup guys because they make it good.

I mean, they do make it good sometimes. But it has been, I've enjoyed watching the last two weeks. I've enjoyed guys. Even, you know, even this last week I watched Austin Cendrick starting to back and go up there and run fifth. You know, a good run for him. That normally would have been harder to accomplish. So I've enjoyed watching the Xfinity guys

duke it out, you know, with the Infinity guys. And it's been fun. But I do enjoy, I do enjoy some cup guys in there, some of the races that, you know, the bigger races, I guess. Makes it interesting. I think the names are made here campaign for me initially was really stupid because they weren't coming in and doing anything. And I think when we have rules like this in place,

from a branding standpoint, NASCAR finally has aligned the competition with a marketing effort. and you can truly say names are being made here. You know, guys like Christopher Bell, Noah Gragson, who nobody knows who they are. I mean, people know who they are, but you know what I mean. Versus an established guy like Elliot Sadler,

established guy like Justin Algar, is truly giving them an opportunity to come in and run well, still run against great competition and be able to go up and do it up front. So huge, huge. How can you be a fan and not like this? Do you think, though, sometimes not having the cup drivers in there because they give more of a challenge

and maybe make the Xfiniti drivers better? You know, I don't necessarily believe that because I think so many of those cup drivers are in cup equipment in both series, that they're in elite stuff. You know what I mean? I think that makes. They don't race them. I think that makes a huge difference.

And there's very few of those guys that get to race them. I mean, when you look at the series, it is Elliott Sadler, Christopher Bell, Justin Algeyer, Tyler Redick. I mean, you know, Austin Cendrick isn't going to go out there and race them guys yet. No, I would agree. He had an opportunity. He did a phenomenal job. He started in the back, and I was sitting there.

on what laps this guy going to wreck on? And he didn't. He drove a smart race. He drove to the front. He finished fifth. And had those cup guys been there, as T.J. said, he wouldn't have raced them. He didn't ever saw him. He ain't good enough to see him yet.

He'd have had trouble getting, but he, like, you know, he did exactly what he needed to do. And there was some tough situations. He drove a smart race, but he got to race against other guys, you know, around. You know, it was fun. I enjoyed watching him being able to accomplish that, you know, and I'm looking forward to next week, too. Yeah. Ricky Stenhouse Jr. won his first career race at Tal Daga a year ago.

Who could win their first race on Sunday? Elliot, Suarez, Byron, Jones, Bubba, Bowman, T.J. Boy, this is a tough one. You know, any of these guys, Chase is going to be, Chase will be really fast. These guys all have great shots here. It's hard to pick someone out. The one that stands out to me probably most would be Chase. He's really, really good at plate tracks already, really aggressive.

If he can finish the race, if he's running at the end, he will be a factor. I think of guys on this list, Chase Elliott is the only guy with a plate win in any series. And I could be wrong there, and I'm not going to put Jason on the spot because he's done so great today. I can't do anymore. But I got to totally agree with T.J. that Chase Elliott is the most likely guy to win of the guys that hasn't win, one that are on this list. but I also look at guys like Bubba that I know we're going to be aggressive. And that's steering wheeler checkers, you know, a lot of times. And, you know, we didn't have Ricky one in this race a year ago, you know,

but he won because his car was fast, too. I think he qualified front row or something crazy. Jimmy Finning took over their play program, but I got Chase Elliott out of the guys on this list too. Yeah, he's the only one that really stands out. But these other guys, they don't scare me. I mean, they're there. They're plenty good enough to win at this place.

if it goes their way at the end and they're out front, it could be done by any of them. And this is a place where, not to two to our own horns, but a good spotter driver combo can make up for a lot here too. You know, there's two things that will run really well at play tracks. It's a fast driver, a fast car end driver, a knowledgeable driver, and then a good spotter driver combo. You know, if you've got that going for you,

you can take a car just maybe not capable of winning and still getting contention to win. All righty, the off-the-wall topic, A 19-year-old from California won the lottery twice in a week, collecting $655,000. If you won the lottery as a teenager, what would you have done with the money, Brett? I would have bought a Bentley, and then I would have bought a house in Malibu, and then I would have bought me a helicopter. You can't buy all that for, plus that's before taxes, I believe. Yeah, I don't think you're going to afford all that.

I see people in the NFL do it all the time. Yeah, but so it's what, it would it be, $400,000 after taxes? Yeah, but I see all them guys do it. Yeah. Oh, my gosh. I watched a whole 30. I was a teenager you were saying. I watched a whole 30 for 30 on those guys doing that.

So if they did that, I can do that. I'd do what TJ told me before we started the show. I'd party like hell for six months. And then go back to living like a redneck. Yeah. I'd probably buy, I'd probably buy more lottery tickets. I mean, if you want twice. That's two tickets.

Twice in a week. Your eyes are pretty dang good of getting another one. Do we have a selfie of this girl? I don't know. He probably does. I try to look, but I didn't really find anything. Yeah, when she's hot. I'd probably.

She's hotter now. See, girls don't necessarily realize this, Natalie. But some things make you hot ter. You know, like you're... Hot ter. Yeah. Like, you can be hot, and then all of a sudden, you're like, oh, really? Like, what else besides money would make a girl hotter?

Filters. If you're in the unicorn. Filters. Instagram models. Filters on Instagram. No, there's all kind of things that make you hotter. Like, if you'll funnel a beer, you get hotter. Boots.

You know what I mean? Boots. If you wear Gamecock apparel, you got hot. What about Clemson? Zero. You go from, you go completely to a . A 10 to a zero. Anything that's remotely the color of Clemson.

Yoga. Yoga pants. Yoga pants. See, there's just things that, women need to listen to this. There's just things that you can do. I feel like you have to be able to wear yoga pants. There's certain people that wear yoga pants and it's like,

oh, you should not be wearing them. What do you want those people to wear? Yeah. Sweat pants. Do you wear yoga pants? All the time. So if I won that money, I'd buy you a laptop so you could play PubG on the road and a hotel on a laptop. Hey, I won twice last night.

And guess what? So, TJ and I've been playing PubG some together. Is that like Fortnite? Yeah, but it's similar to Fortnite. It's not a cartoon version. You don't build walls and run up and stuff. It's not stupid like Fortnite. I actually like Fortnite.

I played a couple times. I had a software version where I couldn't see my teammates. Like I thought they were the enemy And I'd shoot my It was friendly fire, basically Yeah So I really feel like I'm almost trained enough Now to be a green beret

After playing this game for two weeks But now I can see my teammates Oh good So I don't take my clothes up anymore I would literally get on We would get on the squad together And it would be me and T.J. Another spotter Monez

And I'd be like Everybody take the clothes off Because when I looked at you And you were naked I knew I didn't want to shoot you You were my teammate He couldn't tell who the enemies were So we would all have to take

We'd all be running around underwear If he knew who we were Yeah Not me too. I have my clothes on. I didn't want to be weird. Did you get the latest update? Did you see the update?

Yeah. They got the little shooting range deal. That's what I'm saying. Now I can see my teammates. Now you're good. Because of the update. All right. So we're going to be deadly.

Yeah. We're going to be Navy SEALs by next week. Now I can. Now I don't get cold when I play. You were looking niply that last time. You were running around out there. Just got out of that river. Machete.

Already. Let's go into Ask DBC. Producer Jason has chosen a few AskedBC questions for you guys today. Lovely. A. Bower 94 asks. Is NASCAR computer. competing with local short tracks by racing on a Saturday night? Man, I think the local short tracks, they know when this is coming.

And they don't race. They don't race or they race a special show. Honestly, this probably brought more with the Denny's event, which was, you know, perhaps the Daneh who were putting that event on the late model event that he did there at Langley. I think it gives the local, people with the local short track go to Richmond to watch a race. So I think it's kind of cool Most of them don't race or they move their night around I don't know

I don't think they're really competing against local places that much I agree and I've seen the local Virginia guys I mean being around Elliott for 20 years I've seen the local short track racers in the stands With their favorite driver's t-shirt on Yeah and I think that's cool too Because then the fans that are there know who they are And I definitely don't think you're competing

I mean if we were doing this across America every We're only in one market and people that are going to short track race on a Saturday night in the Midwest, they're still going to be loyal and go short track racing. You know, they're going to do DVR, their stuff, or whatever. So I agree with TJ. Once we get this, once we get the short track stuff figured out a little bit, the short tracks were opportunities for some guys at the local tracks to go and race as well.

So you would have the hot shot from South Boston. You'd have the good guy from Langley. They'd go get cars or, you know, get with a part-time guy or something and go and run and be a competitive at Richmond. Taking that cup guy out gives them a chance. chance. So this is an opportunity for some of them, too, to be known. That Danny Hamlin event was an all-star race. If he went through that field and looked at all them guys, those guys are all feature winners somewhere around the area. Most of them guys are very competitive and fast. So, you know, it gives them

an opportunity to, you know, go in and make a name for themselves. Yeah. At Nat-0-0-2-3 asks, I hear that drivers watch film to study for a race. Do spotters also watch film to prepare pair and what do you look for? I do watch film. I watch restarts mostly. I watch restarts and, you know, later in a run, if guys move around, I watch lines and stuff. But we know a lot of these things already, but it's good to go back. And I like seeing restarts what lanes move and what things, what happens on them.

But, you know, this week, it's going to be Talladega's a little bit different. Who's lined up behind you? Who's behind him? who's going to help who's going to, you know, is he going to let you down? Is he going to, if you can start on the front row with a teammate, you can manipulate a lot of things at a plate track. So, but I do watch film, so I don't know what Brett does. Fans have no idea how much data we have access to.

And, you know, literally the crew chiefs know the percentage of the probability for a caution at various points during the race based on history. And sometimes we'll key up. We did it this week after stage two. said, all right, Clint, typically this is where we have a long green flag run in this race, and that's based on data. So we are all looking at a lot of different things every single week to help us get better. I think the struggle for me going into a place like Talladega is we get a lot of different

rule changes with spoilers and fins and ride heights, and it's something different every time. Can we go back and learn some things? Absolutely. But until you see how that rules package is going to play out when you get in a huge pack, that's the thing about Daytona. we get there, we don't get in a huge pack really until the duels. So that's what I really like to study, is the race I'm in and the race I'm not in.

And then that kind of sets the tone for the year. I would rather go back and watch the Daytona 500 from this year again versus looking at Talladega film because that rules package is going to be more applicable to what we're up against. But I think there's certainly a lot of things we can learn from film. But we get that pointed out to us too as how you guys need to look at this. You need to know this. You need to remember this. And I think it's extremely important to being good. I mean, guys like Jimmy Johnson are the ones that got here and changed the game.

They changed it from a physical perspective in terms of how good a shape they're in. And they also changed it on how much they study the game. And William Byron, nobody's watching more film than William Byron right now. And that's why I said last week he's a top 15 driver because I know he can drive and I know how hard he's working. Matthew Boyd 22 asks, what was your first vehicle you purchased, vehicles given as gifts don't count? T.J. Valid. I think the first vehicle I bought was a Ozil Broham or something like that.

It was a four-door car. I can't pay $400 for it. I'm going to kid for mine. So I had a Mazda 626 that my mother gave me, and I ran a red light Charlotte, and I totaled it. And the cop got there and said, do you run a red light? I said, I don't know because I didn't see a light. Well, you obviously ran it then. I was like, all right.

So he didn't charge me. We bought the car back from insurance. We repaired it. It was the biggest piece of shit you've ever seen in your life. I drove at my last two years of high school, all four years of college, and I swore the first job I got making $30,000, I was going to buy me a BMW. So I did. I went and bought me a $3.25.

The first job I got making $30,000. It was a stick shift, though, so don't be taiting on me. I was grabbing gears in Nevada. Yeah, that's it. Nevada. What was your first car, Natalie? Mine was a 1994 T-top Camaro that my dad had gotten, like, dirt cheap at an auction. Yeah.

A little V6, and damn, I drove that thing like I had a 4-10 sprint car motor underneath the hood. I fricking raced around the neighborhoods. Oh, my God, I had so much fun with that car. I like that. Mine looked like that. Awesome. That's funny. Oh, my God.

That's really close to what it looked like. Yeah. It's four-door and everything. It was awesome. I had a little. My mom gave me that one. I can't count that one. What ended that car's, a car of mine's histories.

I was driving. This is why I hate Clemson, Jason. I left South Carolina. We're going to a Clemson football game. I left Pageland. And I'm driving, and a 75-pound piece of metal fell out of the sky. I'm driving. I look up, and I was like, you guys see that?

My buddies are three buddies in the car. We were 16 years old. They go, yeah, this piece of metal hit my Chrysler Laser, turbo, mind you, in the freaking radiator, went through the radiator, went through the motor, bounced over the car, hit the road, bounced over the car behind me, I pull over.

I call my mom, and I'm like, hey, mom, she's like, yeah. And I'm calling from a cop cell phone. We didn't have cell phones back then. The cop gets there, and he's like, oh, man, I've never seen anything like this. He said, who we need to call? I'm like, my mom, I'm like, hey, mom, this is what just happened. She's like, Brett, shut up.

This ain't funny. I'm like, mom, a 75 pound piece of metal just fell out of the guy. Put somebody else on the phone. I'm like, my car's total. You got to send somebody to get me. I'm in Clemens, South Carolina. And my three buddies, I mean, the cop was like, one of you, all three didn't die.

If it had to come through the windshield, you're dead. That's crazy. So that's how I lost my first car. And then my Mazda, I ran a red light. I don't think I've been in a wreck since. I go, what? Anyway. All righty.

Should we do our periscope? That's what I've been doing over here. Draw some tickets for the one main 200. All righty. We'll have Brett draw. Tickets. Good morning, everybody. This is the one main financial 200 on May the 5th, and we're drawing eight winners.

Yes. We had 57 names in here. These are good tickets. Mm-hmm. It's for Saturday. They were. They just went on eBay. Saturday and Sunday.

We'll go this way. Sorry. They're Saturday? I don't see. Oh, there's Sunday tickets, too? Yep. How do we know who gets what? Are they all tickets for both?

They each get two tickets for both. Yep. Oh, nice. Wow. I don't think I did a good job of saying that last week. I didn't know they were. Oh, awesome.

Wow, man. Let's draw. You first. All right. I want to get one of that guy that funnel that beer with me. Oh, that's me. All right.

First winner is Josh Jenkins. Okay, let's see. Put it up. That's at this. Can you see that? Josh is our first winner. Josh Jenkins. Congratulations.

I'll take that. I'll be the guy at the bar with a hat on. You can... Fire nice. You're going to draw? I'll draw if you want. Draw all right.

Britt Colo. That's the next winner. Britt, you almost had a great name if your I'd have been an E. You've been doing it. All right here we go. This one bounced right into my hands. It's meant to be. It's TJ Majors.

Yes. I'm just kidding. It's Hunter Jones. Hey, Hunter, I got a camo. Brett is dreamy. Katie says. Oh, yeah. Hey, Katie.

You got a cousin named Katie? What are you wearing? That is the third winner. She must like beards. Five more. Do you like his? Sox, Katie. Check out those Gamecock socks. Go Cox. We have Ryan Thomas. Ryan in the house. Let's see. Ryan, you are our fourth winner.

Four more. We're at four already? We only got four more people. Yep. Four more. All right. I'll see here. Uh, Wendy. Wendy. Wendy in the house. Wendy. Katie loves your socks, Brett. Thank you. I wonder if Wendy has like two red pigtails. Much fricles. I like a single with cheese, no onion, no tomato, no pickle. different, though. That's with an I. It needs to be a Y. Okay. So that's Windeye. Evan Gibson.

Evan in the house. Evan Gibson. We even have our one main card there in the background. That's perfect. That is perfect. Now, Brett. Yes, you know. Hold up. We don't bounce one out of the contest.

Who is Sheila Griffin? Sheila Griffin is my sister. She's sitting in the van. He is a dork. She's in the van waiting on me because we're going to Charleston to watch my, my, uh. Even her profile picture is of door bumper clear. Did you know that? She's a diehard fan.

She could have said in here. We're going to Charleston to watch my niece have a baby. Well, not literally watch her have a baby, but she's having a baby. I'm not watching anything like that. Yeah. I don't do well. Amy, Amy, Piccaluga.

Nice. Amy, wait, how where are we at now? One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. One more. Picaluga. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. Okay. This is the last one.

Last one. Amy Rhodes. Another Amy is, didn't we just try Amy? It smiles a lot. Smiles a lot. Amy Rhodes in the house. All righty. Those are eight winners. We will be contacting you guys and getting your addresses. We'll pick one for this key to Natalie's heart.

Yes. I hope it's to her heart. No. All righty. Thanks everybody for participating in this contest. I'll say hey to them race day morning. I know T.J. will. I'm pretty open race day in morning. Dover. We'll do it like an hour before the race. If anybody wants to say hey. They all tweeted when they were entering that they want to go to the bar with you for your birthday shots. Yeah, Saturday night.

It's not my birthday. Birthday month you said last week. That's valid. I'll go to a bar and have a shot. I ain't scared. Saturday night, fire and ice. Oh, look at Billy Bradley missed out. Shucks.

I tell you what, you tell Billy Bradley that if he wants to come to this race, I'll get him tickets. Okay. Because Billy Bradley is a part of the Dirty Mo Media family. He is. And he has the best accent on the planet. He does. I love to hear that guy talk. He is funny.

So you tell Billy, if he wants to. to come to the race, I will personally get him tickets. I will do that. Is anything you guys want to rant about or we all finish up here? I'm just running about happiness. Do you want to rant, Natalie? This is your chance to rant. Yes, I have a rant, actually.

I even ask you guys about this a little bit. So, I want to pull our DVC listeners. I'm so excited. I'm tweeting this. Oh, this got me. She's fired up. All fired up. I'm partially nervous.

So I asked y'all about this before you even walked in. Okay, I'm going to take a Twitter. The dog thing. The dog thing. As a dog owner, if you are going to leave for a weekend, DJ's laid out, do you ask a friend or board your dog or do you leave it in a kennel outside with an automatic feeder and water? Well, if this dog has been remotely domesticated. Which most dogs have been. Then this dog deserves the proper resources to live a healthy two or three days, which is.

is a shelter in a house with some food and water that ain't on automatic feeder and somebody to rub his ass. Because that's what dogs like. They're like to get rubbed in their ears and their ass. So I think the dog deserves, does not deserve to be outside of a pen. I hate dogs in a pen. Yes. I don't care what it is. If you buy a dog and you put it in a pen, I think you should have sleep in pen three days a week with it.

I got to. What if you leave the house for three hours and you put it in a crate because it'll tear up your house? That's okay. That's different. That's totally different. I would agree with that. You know, Kylo? Delo.

Yeah. He gets crated when I leave. Yeah. Totally different. And my dog, you know, we have three dogs in the house. My smallest dog, Layla, who weighs like three pounds, she goes in her crate on her own and lays down. Like, you don't even have to lock it.

I would, too, if I was that small. She goes to as little and backs up, and you're like, where's Lela? And you'll look for her, scream her name. Imagine being in a world of giants all the time. I'm going to do you. I'm going here and lay down. I would question a man's character. I would question.

a man's character that has a belief that that kind of dog should be put in a pen for three days. I would. I'm not, I'm not. You literally can't put a dog in a pen for three days like that and just let it do its own deal. You have, somebody has to take it out. What if the water's going to get nasty? What if the, what if it stops auto water and the dog dehydrates? Like, I would question this man's character, or woman's character if it's not a man. Let's put him in a cage for three days. That's what I said. I just got to question this guy's character. Oh, already. Who are you guys is DBC picks for this week? Well, what's the score? I'm up by one still. Man, I had that in the bag, too, until them last restarts.

You did. Harvard was leading. You did. I was going to have the winner. Sorry, you look. You know what? I'm going to roll with, uh, all right. DJ Kennington, go ahead.

You want to play that way. I'll take, uh, Brad Keslowski. Damn, dog. Yeah, swing for it. Come on, get some. You can't, you can't throw it away because you got to get one back. I'm uh and I'll get them back you know

I'll have them good for the chase again too because I'll reset I feel you I've got a swing I ain't swinging that hard okay I'm going with Casey Kane sweet I need a top 10 here case

and Brad Rex and Casey finishes as well you got that too Brad Rex in case he's not in it I win it yeah that's that could be said I mean you literally gamble yes this is a big gamble

I'm really impressed with TJ because he usually you know like bunts the ball. Right there, he swung his ass on. I'm swinging, man. You're going to have to go for the throat if you're going to catch up now. He's tired of losing this thing. And I had it.

We're off to Talladega. I can't wait, man. I love this race. Talladega is fun. Talladega is so fun. It is fun. It should be good. Natalie, are you coming?

Nope. Where are you going? I'm taking Carson Ellage to Indy for her cheerleading tryouts for I. I want Carson to come on this show sometime. We need to get her on. We'll get her on. She wants to come on. Didn't she just go there?

She's going for what? So she had, that was her clinic. So now she has tryouts. What does she do? Trying out for cheerleading at IUPUI. I didn't know she cheerleaded. She used to when she was younger and then she got it back into it her senior year of high school when she started going to an actual school.

And now she's doing tumbling and everything. She's actually really good. What's an IUPUI? Yeah, I don't know what that. Indiana University or something. Purdue, Indiana and Purdue combined. Yeah, it's in Indianapolis. That's where she's going to college.

She is? Why? She leaves at the end of July. That's where she wanted. to go. There's some great colleges right here. Yeah, she got accepted to everyone. She applied to Alabama, IEPUI.

That's all I can remember up the top of my head. I know there's Oklahoma, OSU. Wow. I think Tampa. That's kind of, I didn't, why? Why wasn't I consulted with on this college decision? Hey, I'm glad for her. You know, hey, she's branching out, doing her own thing.

I never would have thought it would be. But she knows people in Indy, too. So that's kind of nice. She must have friends in the area. Yeah. Yeah. That's cool. Indiana.

Dude, you keep wearing them, George. You're going to be in that cheerling competition. I can cheer. You can co-ed spot with her, or co-ed cheer. I can't. Yeah. I can't. Yeah, you can try it.

I don't know about that. I'm too old. I mean, you look like a Gamecox cheerleader with your outfit on. I got a rotator cuff out or something. I'm old. Yeah. Okay. All right.

All right. Well, thanks. Sheila's waiting. Yeah. See y'all next week. Thank you, one man again for sponsoring this podcast and to Exaltta for this beautiful studio. Hey, I got to, can we expand the studio a little bit? We'll make it a little bit bigger.

Why? What's wrong with it? I don't know. I just feel like we ain't make bigger. That's good. You don't want a project, do you? No. The first one was hard enough.

We're out. Sounds like our boyfriend is a big enough project. Hey, you just bring the dog in this room and leave it for three days with all that. I'll see you.
