Starting point is 00:01:32 take live from the Pokeruner Raceway fan stage at the fan stage at the fan Fair ahead of last Sunday's Gander RV 400. Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, a Pocono Raceway. We have a very special thing happening right now. We have, live from Door Bumper Clear, we have T.J. and Brett, everyone who T.J. Brett is? How are you guys doing today? Good. Good. Well, I'm going to let you guys talk a little bit. I'm going to go around here and see if I can find some fans asking some questions, but feel free to chat a little bit, and we'll come back to here in a minute. How are you guys doing out there?
Starting point is 00:02:05 You all look like a rowdy crowd. People in Pennsylvania are at a party, right? Fast cars, tequila, race day. I mean... There you go. So I'm Brett Griffin's spot for Clint Boyer on Sundays with my cohort here, Mr. T.J. majors. Yeah, I'm T.J. I spot for Joey Lugano. Got one fan here I see. Stans out pretty easily. Ben Rose in the truck sometimes. And, yeah, it should be a fun day. the weather's perfect here. It's windy, kind of cloudy, got some sun. Great weekend for camping. I don't know if any of you guys are camping here or not.
Starting point is 00:02:42 Looks like a great weekend for that. The infield's packed. You got to see Tim Dugger here. Up and coming singer there. I did beat him 106 or 3 in a football game on Madden one time, and that felt really good. But, yeah, it should be a good race. Yeah, so T.J. and I do a podcast every Monday, door bumper clear on Dirtymo Media, which is obviously owned by a guy that you probably heard of, Del Earnhardt Jr. TJ grew up, obviously friends with him. Met online, right, in the Sim world?
Starting point is 00:03:10 Yeah, playing video games. That's taken off, man. What do you think about video games being broadcasted on TV now? It was different. I was excited to kind of see how it went. Obviously, that area of the sport seems to be growing. You know, and there's a lot of kids that can't afford to race, and that's their way to race.
Starting point is 00:03:33 So I think it's cool that teams are getting involved. Now we have some kids that probably weren't going to have an opportunity to race real cars. Get chances of driving video games. I'm not, you know, I don't know if it's necessarily a breeding ground for bringing kids up into the racing world. But, you know, it's definitely interesting to see another aspect of the sport. This guy with a Make America Great Again hat on is drinking out of binoculars. Have you ever seen that before? I got to remember that one, man.
Starting point is 00:04:00 We can spot with those binoculars, make our race a hell of a lot more fun. You're not going to believe this, but I actually have a pair of them. I don't believe that. I know you don't. They're still in the box. Bring them to me. I'll use them. Yeah, I got them as a gift one time.
Starting point is 00:04:17 And yeah, that's pretty nice. We look really committed to our job sitting on the airplane after the race with our binoculars on and when nobody's looking drink straight tequila out of it. Well, I like that he's got the, what do you call that thing? The pink thing. the lay is that what that's called yeah i like how you mix that with the the monoculars yeah my ones too which one both i guess it's acceptable so yeah this uh this is obviously the first time we've done a live um a live broadcast oh yeah so kevin reached out to uh mike davis with uh dirty
Starting point is 00:04:53 media and said he wanted to do this so this was all kevin haney's idea standing out there And I've known Kevin a long time. He used to be in the garage with us every week. He was smart enough to get off the full-time schedule and come here to Pocono and just work a few weekends a year. And look, Kevin still travels around. I still see him in Charlotte in January of the media tour. But anything that you guys see happening in our sport, like a podcast like us coming out here today, obviously Tim Dugger playing, that's stuff that this sport and the racetracks are doing for the fans to give you guys something to do, give you some entertainment.
Starting point is 00:05:22 And to be honest with you at 20 years old, I was standing where you guys were standing out there. college and a big race fan and got lucky enough to get in so I feel pretty honored honestly to be sitting up here today yeah I got yeah I got applauded the standing ovation right there well yeah so this is at 20 I don't I don't think I had drank a beer yet so yeah yeah I know yeah at 20 I was still living my parents so yeah you screwed up again yeah not really it was so cheap it was free stay at home as long as you can it's a lot cheaper that way unless you're my kids at 18 you need to go but yeah you know the hardest I went from living at home with my parents to a house a quarter mile at the road from Dale Jr. And that was a that was a lifestyle change. Yeah what year was that
Starting point is 00:06:16 2001. Yeah Dale Jr. was partying hard in 2001. I know. Yeah. Oh I know. So yeah it was a bit of a lifestyle change, but you never, you never know what kind of turns, you know, like you're going to get in life, and you probably didn't see yourself becoming a spotter. No. I told somebody this morning, so back with the Woodbrother days, which is where I got my start in 1999, before I was a spotter, I was a PR guy. And Eddie Wood, who is obviously one of the Wood brothers, said to me, we hand the dumbest guy on the team of radio and tell him to go spot. Two years later, we had a situation where the full-time spotter couldn't come in, and he handed me a radio and said, hey, you're spot today and I was like well I don't think I really want to hear those words but nonetheless it's been a hell
Starting point is 00:06:59 run for me I think this is my 18th or 19th season full time on the roof been very fortunate to win in all three series win some fun races and probably the coolest part and tj can attest to this is I've been able to win with a lot of really close friends elliott clear was a mentor of mine work with del jarrott never want to race with him but to be able to to work and show up for work with guys that you look up to and are really close friends with is something that not everybody gets to do in our our sports. So I've been very lucky there. Yeah, you know, I got to do the last 10 races with Dale Jr. at DEI in the in the Bud 8 car. And that was a lot of fun. But, you know, we went to Hendrick and immediately won the, we won our duel that year. We won the Saturday race, the all start,
Starting point is 00:07:40 the shootout, whatever you wanted to call it. We've won a lot of, we've won a lot of fun races. Martinsville's great to win. You've got to win there. Winning here twice in one year. It's kind of cool to take a broom. You know, we get on the airplane after the race. and we got a broom with us because we won both races here, which was awesome. You know, the one cool thing about here is when you're up on the roof and when we took to leading them races, you could literally hear the crowd below you and see everybody cheer. And there was a lot of videos that came out of people in the grandstands with their cell phones, you know, and throwing their hats and stuff and celebrating.
Starting point is 00:08:15 So a lot of great race fans here in Pocono. And it was a lot of fun to win here twice, you know, in the same year to say you swept somewhere. So a lot of fun. We won, I think it was the inaugural truck race here with Elliot Sadler. It was only 50 laps. And I thought it was one of the best races I've ever seen here. We were battling Denny Hamlin, Casey Kane. Obviously, the normal truck guys out there. But man, to be able to come here, like I said, I grew up as a kid watching Tim Richmond and a lot of really famous race car drivers race here. So it's a cool place for us to come. And for you guys, it's all about the racing and all about, you know, the personalities and the sport.
Starting point is 00:08:49 But for us, it's all about really the fans because without you guys, we don't get to do this. Yeah, and Pocono's been great. You know, there's only one way into the tunnel here, so you come through the tunnel, and every year... It's the best tunnel in NASCAR. It's the prettiest. It is the prettiest. So you come through there, and it's just camper after camper, and it's always... I actually got to come here when I was young one time.
Starting point is 00:09:11 It was the year Rusty Wallace got Black Flag for jumping the start. I don't know. That was in the mid-90s at some point, but we got here really early Sunday morning, and I found a group of people that were walking around, and, uh, you know, I saw a lot of great things. It was a really fun time. The first time I came here, we went to this bar right down the street called Shenanigans.
Starting point is 00:09:32 No way. I don't know if you guys have ever heard of that. There was a little dance club beside it called Baby Boomers. If you've got kids, cover your ears. And we literally sat in this bar and played a lot like card game. And the next day was one of the worst days of my life at a racetrack. I've never been so hung over and sweating. And it was like 100 degrees out here.
Starting point is 00:09:47 But fortunately, it was a Saturday. And I have to work a whole lot. But that was, I'll never forget my first trip to Pocono. Yeah, I don't, that was my first trip to Pocono that year that we came here Sunday morning, but I really always enjoy coming here. Race is always exciting because it's, you can, you can pit here without losing a lap. So that kind of changes up the pit strategy. And the crew chiefs, cruci is here having a really tough job, you know, now with the stage racing and stuff,
Starting point is 00:10:12 do you take stage points or do you set yourself up for track positions? So a lot of exciting things come today, and I'm looking forward to it. Yeah. Kevin, you got any questions out there, man? I do. The first one I'm going to go with, and then we'll get into the fans, is... Perfect. 2020.
Starting point is 00:10:27 2020. We just announced. What year is it? It's 2019, but 2020, NASCAR doubleheader weekend. Four races in two days, plus an arc race on Thursday, so technically five races in four days. From a spotter perspective, you guys will be up there a long time. How do you mentally prepare for upwards of 500 to 550 miles between two different series, one day. Well, I could mentally prepare a lot more
Starting point is 00:10:54 if you'd put a roof on that thing. Just so you know. Give us a little shade, Kevin. I'm just saying. Pocono President Ben May and Nick Adelsoe for listening to the podcast. There's been a request from TJ Majors. Yeah, just a little shade. Like, one of the little shades they put at the parks where your kids play and stuff. But I don't know.
Starting point is 00:11:11 It's just all depends on how the track's going to be. You know, the PJ1 kind of throws, you know, changes things up a little bit where cars might run. But every series kind of drives a little bit differently here. I don't think you really mentally prepare. You just might hydrate yourself more with water. Yeah. I think, first of all, and I've said this on the podcast, for a NASCAR fan,
Starting point is 00:11:33 there's no better value in 2020 than to come to Pocono Raceway because you're going to get two-cup races in one weekend. Obviously, multiple qualifying sessions, multiple series. It really doesn't get any better than what Pocono has an opportunity to put on for you guys next year. But, yeah, I mean, to T.J's point, the busier we are up there, the more fun it is, right? So when we have a lot of downtime, yesterday I had a four-hour break between practice and qualifying. And, you know, I get bored of death. You're trying to take a nap and exercise and do whatever you do, right?
Starting point is 00:12:00 So the busier it is for us, the better than the TJ's point, man, just do what you guys do. Put on a lot of sunscreen and drink a lot of water. If I were y'all, I wouldn't be drinking water. Yeah, I was going to say, who are you kidding? All right, we have a question here, and I'll preface this. This gentleman just walked above me, and you were talking about your first events here. And he just said his first underage being carted here was poking or So, there's the intro for you.
Starting point is 00:12:24 What do you got for him? So my mom used to work shenanigans, and I don't know my dad. No, I'm sorry. No, uh, there's a little wooded light right behind there. Yeah. So you look like Brett. Her name wasn't Jen, was it? Hey, look this. You got a gap between your two.
Starting point is 00:12:41 Yeah, we got it. You're like darker now, though. So we're never going back. You're not going to give me to not go there. I'll go there all day long with you. Of course. I'm from South Carolina. So with a lot of, this is for Brett, but with Ross Chastain having a lot of success, and I know you've worked with Ross,
Starting point is 00:13:01 if he goes to a full-time ride in Xfinity, will you be spotting for him and working with him, or is that, like, do you work through colleague or do you work through Ross? So I actually own a company. I've got the hat on B-First is my marketing company, and part of what we try to do is go secure sponsorship and bring it to teams and drivers, right? So Ross Chastain has won four of the last eight truck races. One of them he got disqualified. But nonetheless, he crossed the finish line first. The kid is on fire.
Starting point is 00:13:28 But we've got a great sponsor that we're working with. If he goes to full-time and Xfinity right now when he runs an Xfinity car for a colleague, I spot for it. We won Daytona, one of our better performances together. Obviously, he led the most laps, 49 laps, won the race. It would be my wish probably to go full-time, man. But I'm 44 years old. I've been doing this a long time.
Starting point is 00:13:47 I'm not real sure how much longer I'm going to keep spot. and full time. You know, maybe a year, maybe two. But I'm getting to the end of my window, man. I've got a little boy that's six, and I'd much rather be spending some weekends with him, watching him play football and baseball and basketball. And he's a pretty good little hip-hop dancer, you know, so you never know what the future's going to hold. But I'll tell you guys, Ross Chastain is a blue-collar badass. He's the real deal. He's a watermelon farmer from Georgia. He's not one of these spoon-fed kids that the dad's paying his way through this series. He's earning every freaking opportunity he gets.
Starting point is 00:14:18 When Elliot retired last year, I've been with Elliot Sadler for 20 years. When he retired, my heart was telling me to retire. And by retire, it meant get off the roof going about your day job, right? So because of my relationship with Clinton and how good a friends we are, I couldn't leave him hanging. He was in the last year of a contract. You know, we'd won two races last year. He's a hard guy to spot for. Like, he's a really fun personality, but he has ADD worse than any human being I've ever met.
Starting point is 00:14:44 So you really have to stay on top of him. so my wish would be certainly to go out with Clint, but if he goes and signs a five-year deal, probably not. I don't think I've got five years left in me. And plus, you know, they call it Brett Active for a reason. You know, the radioactive show. He's talking about Radioactive, which I never listen to that. I wouldn't listen to if it was all me either.
Starting point is 00:15:07 We have a question right here from Julie. Julie has a question for both you. Go ahead. So, T.J., first of all, did you, when Dale Jr. release driver number eight the book did you have anything to do with that and second of all brett at what point during the race do you unleash those kneecaps and unzip those pants he's got he's got the whitest legs you can imagine they're as white as you imagine um i wasn't a part of writing or anything but i i found my name is in it um i was always wondered what that guy the guy's name was
Starting point is 00:15:39 jade gers the guy that wrote the book he would always be around and i'd always see him typing on computer. And I didn't know he was writing a book because this was right around right around when I first moved in North Carolina. By the 2002 or something, right? Yeah, it was not long after I moved North Carolina. And I always saw this guy. And he was always on his computer. And I'm like, what is this guy doing all the time? And then I find out later that he's releasing the book. And then I was, he told me that, he had showed me that, you know, he put me in there one night whenever I was over at Dell Jr.'s house. But yeah, yeah, I didn't have anything to do with writing it, but maybe just contributed to a story or two in it.
Starting point is 00:16:16 I try to leave my pants fully engaged until after the race for wherever you went with that question. I got a question here. Let me get the mic for you. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. One a second. Where's your name? My one of them guys. My name is Brendan Gavgen. Who is that guy in the Nchelle Pinsel pitch shirt? Right here? What picture? Yeah, yeah. You. Yeah, you. Yeah, man. Yeah. Who are you? He's Brett. I'm Dale Jr. Brandon Gavgan. Brandon Gavgan. He's Dale Jr. He said.
Starting point is 00:16:45 You have a question for these guys? My name is Brendan Gavkin. I'm a world's famous NASCAR fan. I've seen Dale Jr. Sweat Pocono, Truex, and Blaney. Who are you? Yeah, I'm the spotter for Joey Ligano. He's Joey Lugano. I worked with Dale Jr. until he retired. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:01 I've seen Dale Jr. sweat polkino since 2014, man. Yeah, that was a fun year. Good stuff, man. We have a question. Anyone of other questions? all right i'll keep the question going that point i guess tj's going to start singing and this won't go well he's going to start doing he's going to start dancing he's going to start break dancing no if that starts happening it's i mean it definitely helps with the tent and the cover
Starting point is 00:17:23 that you eat up top it starts happening i got to remove the sponsor stuff because i don't that might get bad uh i guess the next question for you is so the intricacies of polkina right it's basically a mile all the way down to turn two um it's definitely the furthest distance i feel like that you guys see I know Talladega is 2.66, but it's definitely the furthest way for where you are. What do you do to prepare for this type of an event as opposed to where you just were last weekend in New Hampshire? I don't know if you really prepare for it differently. You just can't see. You know, it's really hard.
Starting point is 00:17:53 At Talladeg and Daytona, there's a dog leg so that cars, you kind of have a little bit of depth perception on where the cars are. Here, it's like a runway, and you're right up on the edge of it. You're looking down there, and we have conversations with our drivers. Most of the time. I mean, you'll tell the driver before the race, look, out of three, it's harder for me to tell when the guy's clear and into one. I can't tell if you're, you know, we got spun out one time here. We had something going on. This is a wrong story. Yeah, this is pretty good. I was working with Dale Jr. here, and we were, something happened and we got back about 28th, something like that, and we go down in a turn one. And I told him before the race, and many of you know how animated he can be. I told him before the race. Look, when you get to one, I can't tell if the guy's inside of you. So. you're going to have to use your side mirror. Well, we get down there and we get spun out by Cole Witt, and, you know, and he gets done spinning.
Starting point is 00:18:46 No, we don't get any damage or anything. Well, we get rolling again, and he's just, you know, he'd come on the rain. He was like, oh, was there a car down there? And I just, I straight up told him, like, I don't know, man, you're like a mile away from me. I guess there was. And he never really got Mouthey back or anything. But, yeah, you know, it's hard for me to tell.
Starting point is 00:19:05 You know, I tell him before the race, but I don't know, was there a car there? I mean, you got spun out. So there was a car there. Probably. You can't, you can't tell. Like, when they turn off into the corner, you are hoping. When they turn off into the corner, you can't tell until you get just a little bit of an angle where the next guy is compared to your bumper. So it's really challenging here. A lot of people will put spotters down towards turn one to let you know if your guy, you know, if you're clear or not. So, but yeah, it's, you see the pictures of one of the greatest camera shots on the, on the, on the, on the, tour we, you know, we do is the guy that stands there at the end of the front stretch
Starting point is 00:19:42 shooting up the front stretch when we're five or six wide. That is, it's crazy. It's not, it's not enjoyable as a spotter at that point. But yeah, so a lot of things can go wrong. Yeah, here in Phoenix are our two hardest tracks to spot at. And like you said, Kevin, I mean, they're almost a mile away from us going off into one. And on these restarts with this new package, they're four, five, six wide. And there's only two lanes down there, maybe two and a since you guys put the PJ1 down. But probably the best thing you do is just pray. Hope they come out the other end.
Starting point is 00:20:13 Because until they actually turn left, we're guessing. I mean, we're saying inside, outside, hold your line, clear, I hope. And it's a little bit of a guessing game down there. You have an idea, but you're not 100% sure. And that's a very uneasy feeling as a spotter. You don't really, you don't clear your guy until you know 100% he's clear. And when you can't do that, it's like, you know, we go to a road course next week. we're going to see our guys for about 25 seconds, if that,
Starting point is 00:20:40 and then we're going to lose them for about 40 seconds. And when you're on the other end of that, you're just listening. And it's a really uneasy. It's a really uneasy feeling as a spotter because most time you're in control, you know where your car's at, you know where it's getting ready to be, you know what you're around, and when they go out of your sight, and it's just very uneasy as a spotter. Then you hear this motorhome driver go, inside, outside, three wide,
Starting point is 00:21:00 and you're like, hey, he just came by here, and I don't think you're looking at the right car. Yeah. You ever spotted the wrong car? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. When Elliot got out of Eminem's car, he got into the Dodge car with Evanham.
Starting point is 00:21:12 He was at the 19. I spotted that M&M's car for a couple weeks, man. Yeah, I spotted the wrong car at Darlington one time with Dell Jr. We went down into three, and I didn't, I just glanced down there. I looked at a car in front of us, and I glanced back, and I saw two cars side by side, and I thought it was us. So I started calling outside, outside, and we're still 10 carlings behind that guy, I sent nobody's nearest, and he's up against the wall.
Starting point is 00:21:37 So it was completely impossible for someone to be outside of him. And did the same thing at Richmond. We won the Xfinity race in Richmond a couple years ago when he did that. And I spotted for Allgaier all year, so I was used to looking at a bright fluorescent seven. Well, we were in front of Justin about half a straightaway, and Justin was pasted somebody, and I just started calling outside again. And I looked in Del Jr. to start finish line. He swerves left.
Starting point is 00:22:02 once again, it's completely impossible for somebody to be on the outside of him. And he hung a hard left, which I started laughing at that point because I'm like, well, at least I know he listens to me sometimes. But yeah, that was, it's not something you want to claim too often to spot the wrong car. It's easier. It's easier said than done, though. It is. Once the mic is back on, we've got two final questions here.
Starting point is 00:22:25 We got Rob here. Rob, go ahead. As a spider, we're going to the hardest tracks for you guys a spot. Besides this track, what else you got? But you mentioned Phoenix. Yeah, for sure here in Phoenix. But, man, the thing is in terms of what we actually do to provide, I guess, meaningful information to the driver, it's where the cars run the closest together. So that's obviously Talladega, Daytona, Bristol, Martinsville.
Starting point is 00:22:47 Anytime you see the cars on top each other, our role increases because there's a lot of information to be given to try to help make them make blocks, find faster lanes around the racetrack and navigate traffic, Ms. Rex. So anywhere the cars run closer together is where we're the most important. Yeah, I'd say he's right. You know, here is really hard down into turn one. Phoenix is kind of Phoenix. It's probably a little easier than this just because we're so used to it where we're at.
Starting point is 00:23:12 And at least they're closer to you and you can kind of see a little bit. Indy's pretty hard. Indy's getting more challenging if you've got the backside of the track. If you've got turn two and three, we stand on the pagoda at Indy. And you have to have a second spotter kind of do half the track. And these pine trees on the backstretched by the golf course have gotten so big. big, they're starting to block out pieces of the backstress. So you can't, you know, it's hard for to tell when guys get runs and stuff. So that's becoming increasingly, increasingly harder. But,
Starting point is 00:23:42 yeah, definitely those three. Question here. Your name, sir? My name's Clayton. I got a question really for both of you, but for T.J., what's the biggest difference between Lugano and Earnhardt? And for both of you, like, when you guys change drivers from series to series, how difficult is that? What kind of preparation do you guys do for that? Great questions. It was pretty different. Dale Jr. didn't like any talking in the corners. I don't know if you ever listen to him. If you say something in the corner, he would definitely let you know it. Um, you know, there's been, luckily I'm, I guess it's different when you're good friends with him because, you know, me and Joey have never had an incident at all. Uh, but me and Del Jr.'s had, had a few silent car rides home. Um, I wanted to fight him a few times,
Starting point is 00:24:21 but, um, that's funny. But then I realized I needed a ride home, so I didn't, you know, I don't know he just you didn't talk to him in the corner Joey likes a ton of info all the time he wants to know where guys are running what lanes they're in how far they are back where they're if they're finding speed
Starting point is 00:24:39 he likes every little bit of info you can give him which is great because it's easy you like doing that as a spot or you like giving info the guy can use and it makes it makes feel like you're helping more when you can give him info to do that but you know Deljutor was more of a little he liked a lot of info but just not in certain parts
Starting point is 00:24:57 of the track. You know, even at big tracks like Michigan, we got in a big argument one time at Michigan, and he told me to stop clearing him getting down to the corner. Well, I did. And then he about come up and wrecked the guy, and he asked why I didn't tell me he was out there. And I said, because you told me not to. And I didn't talk for about 30 laps, and Tony Jr. was crew-cheiving him at the time. Tony Erie Jr., and I got so mad.
Starting point is 00:25:20 I almost left the roof that I was still listening to stuff, but they're texting me, hey, are you still up there? Hey, you're still there, right? Hey, you're still there? I'm like, yes, but I'm not talking to that. Whatever you want to call them. But, yeah, Joey just, Joey likes a ton of info, and he can use it. So you just give as much as you can.
Starting point is 00:25:38 And then Brett, just to follow up with what his last question was, how do you guys prepare basically for that weekend? Yeah, I mean, the biggest thing when you're switching drivers, man, is you want to do your job to what they need to hear, right? Because everybody's different, like you said, what Dale Jr. wanted what Joey Lagan, I wanted are different. I thought Elliot was needy, and then I met Clint Boyer. Clint's a lot more needy than Elliot ever thought about being.
Starting point is 00:26:00 And he requires a lot of the same stuff that, you know, Joy does. But with Clint, you're also playing Dr. Phil, and you're playing cheerleader guy. I was going to say, Clint needs a lot of radio hugs. Spider guy. Yeah. And, yeah, so he's just, he's a lot to manage, man. But I think the thing that, and I don't want to come off as air ago when I say this, but TJ and I have both had a lot of luck and a lot of success at Restrictor-Play races
Starting point is 00:26:24 across multiple series, and I think when that happens, you know, drivers tend to want to keep that information the same. I've never spotted a plate race different for anybody. I've always just kind of done it my way, and it's always worked. So I think what's probably made TJ and I desirable in that garage was probably our plate racing. Yeah, even like, I work with Ben Rose in the truck series, and I spot differently for Ben than I do. Ben's more of a, you know, more of a young guy you're trying to teach and Joey Joey's more of just give him he already knows the ins and out so he just
Starting point is 00:26:57 wants the info speaking of desirable I think you both are very desirable I appreciate you guys coming up here and hanging out with us for this afternoon good luck in today's race thanks for stopping by the fan stage and hanging out with these guys everybody T.J. and Brett from doorbell.
