The following is a production of Dirtymoan Media. Door, bumper, clear. Clear by two. Please really shallow entry. Bumper, clear. What's up, DBC fans, Andrew Curland, a DBC producer from this year, here with a special clip episode,

The Best of series from Door Bumper Clear. I'll tell you, we comb through every single DBC episode this year, picking out the best moments from the season. And let me tell you this. What you're about to hear is a wild trip down memory lane. We're going to try and format this show, similar to how we do the show every single week.

You know, as the producer, one of my jobs is to make the show rundown sheet every week, which lays out the different segments and topics for the show. We're going to try and follow that here with this best of show. And the opening segment of every week is titled, BS because frankly sometimes the guys need to bullshit around a little bit before we get started. Whether you're a new

listener or a long time listener of the show, one thing that is universally known is that this thing gets off the rails fast. So I think we should kick it off with some of the craziest ways we've kicked off a show here on DBC. All right, I'm going to start

because Freddie might not make it. Hurry up. Ticking time bomb. Hey, everybody. That was bad. All right. Let's try again. That was bad. That's really bad.

TJ's been smoking. I am. Sir whatever. It's going to be a long fucking show. God, what is in my lungs? All right. Hey, everybody. I'm T.J. Major, spotter of the Sixth Cup car.

I had the 61 truck this weekend. And I know you were missing the truck race and Brett. Brett Griffin and I hate Freddie Kraft. I'll be. chokes on whatever he eats for lunch and vomits. Don't think he's going to eat lunch. He's going to be sleeping.

I don't think it was my fault. F*** off. All the way off. I am never hanging out with you. You are a dirt racer. Ever again. What's his name? We can cut right to the French tickler.

Is that his name? We can cut right to the BBC A-Vane if you are. Ready. Who are you? All right, guys. We'll talk to you next week. I don't know what a French tickler is. Brett.

He has no. No fucking idea what a French tickler is. Brandon's covering his face. Brandon's turning red laughing and Andrew has no idea. I'll just look it up. Let's, no, hang it. I'm going down to line. Do you know what it is?

Do you know what it is? Casey is also Googling it. This guy in the end has no idea either. These two on the end, these two don't know. These three. They're children. Anyway, French ticklers are children.

No, no, no. You guys are children. They make children. You cannot say, it's illegal to say French tickler and children in the same That is illegal. You can't say that. You just did. So you might need to cut that out.

Why is it French? Okay. Ready. Holy shit. Ready Kraft. What's up? This show is not going to make it. This might be it.

We might be done after this one. And we haven't even finished the intro yet. I'm going to die. Why is it French? Hi. My name is Fred Kraft. French Freddie. French Freddie.

Oh. Last night, you would have loved this part. A lady walks over to him and she's an attractive older lady, right? And I say older is in my age. She French. She's like, are you John Kraft? Oh my God. She goes, and poor John gets this all the time because me and John obviously look a lot of

like. And everybody goes, Freddie! And John's like, no, I'm not friendly. But it happens. He gets so mad. And yesterday this lady walks over and Brett goes, oh, she recognized you. And I'm like, oh, God, I don't know. I obviously were in big ass all the time.

But I'm like, oh, I don't know who this lady is. And she goes walking over. like John, right? And I'm like, no. Oh my God. She's like, you're not John. I go, no, I got a brother named John. She's like, does he look like you? I was like, yeah, unfortunately. I was like, yeah, but John has a beard. Like, Freddie has a normal beard. You can not say that. Hey, guys, Casey vote here. And Andrews is making notes now to ask Mike Davis if we can say, Mike, can we say French tickler and in the same show? That's actually, we should get bonus points for the work. those two words.

We just invented a new condom. Tickler. Oh my gosh. Speaking of, not that we want to go any further off the rails, but I was asked last week if there was a

particular condom brand that wanted to sponsor the show. I didn't see that. It was a tickler. I believe it. I believe it. I'm sorry. Thanks for coming.

Thanks for listening. We're going to be in Roval this weekend. Word. That's our show. It comes out on Wednesday. I'll finish the show with Blake and Brain. Okay.

This is a great time to bring up our presenting sponsor. It's not really, but I'm really sorry. Terrible time. By texting DBC to 989898. That's 989. 898. How many weeks is a sponsor new? I'm just curious.

Because I think a new sponsor is like one week. No. They've been with us now for three whole weeks. They're a long time sponsor of BBC at the point. No, listen, my favorite thing is listen to how many different ways Casey can say 989-898. Well, you gotta mix up a little bit. So if you have normal ears out there, it's actually 9-8-9-8-9-8 and you text DBC to that number.

Did you ever, did you ever, I mean, obviously you've realized this. I'm sorry. That is what they said. I can't remember the comedian that said it. But like he said, could you imagine if you didn't have proper phone number editing? it like it like as you know everybody's like my number is you know whatever you know they just rattled off and if you were like what my number is uh three four eight nine seven uh you know what I mean you'd never get the phone number okay well I may say it different times or different ways so this is

what I believe people are going to remember this is literally what our listeners are saying to you but you can't hear that Casey Casey can you read that number back again uh Brett it's uh 989 989 89 8 I Freddie, whatever you do. Hey, guys, please text 989898. Listen,

whatever you do right now, text DVC to 98, 98-98. Or any of those three numbers. Yeah, what about 98-8-9? You got to finish it now. 9-8-9-8-98. Now you know they're going to remember. You want me to, hey, everybody.

Yeah. We should. You got to do it. You have to. It's so funny. You have to. You all ready? Hey, everybody.

I'm T.J. Major. Spiter of the six cup car. The eight-excity car and the O2 truck. Joining me today. We're working on T.J.'s 900 number voice this morning. What's up? Freddie Krasse.

I'm doing Casey's reads from now on. Contact Casey. By all means, go to me. I am still. Do you want my Venmo? because, I mean, I could set some money right now. Let's try to call. Are you recording yet, Andrea?

I am. All right, let's try to call Freddie. See his status. Hey, you're preaching, Freddy, Chris. Is that even ring? Thanks. So if you wonder where Freddy's at, it's... Should we leave him a message?

You should just be the whole podcast until he gets here. Freddy, you're a piece of shit. Where are you at? This is Columbus. be a haul over again. Freddie, welcome back, man. Hey, yeah, Freddy. Freddy's alive.

I'm still kicking, still alive. Apologies to Artie. I should have probably maybe showed up last week. And the producers and Golden. I don't like you guys. I like Artie. The gray goose is over there. I mean, she was expecting you to be here.

I was actually worried about you. They were all like, no, there was reason to be worried about me. I promised you. So what happened? I might have slept in. I told you. No, man. You said you blacked.

I did some, some, we had to go out. Like, listen, Brett only turned 60 once. So he's the one that was sober on the show and you were the one of living? You called him sober on that show? Played it. But now I slept in. I was tired. And probably for the best.

He was tired. He was probably for the best. Of all the fucking excuses, he comes up with tired right here. It's not an excuse. I think if you know me well enough, you know what the, how long have you been rehearsing that what happened? I was tired. The best thing that happened to me that day was probably not coming.

in this podcast. I was tired. I felt about 4 o'clock in the afternoon that I still didn't need. So every other year. Every other year. Every other year, Freddie goes missing. And that was just, it was his turn.

I think it's been a couple years since that happened. That's what I'm saying? It's every other. So what is this? 23, so 2025. What, how would you grab it? Is that your 50th? When do you turn 50th?

That'll be 50th. Oh, fuck. Yeah. What's the last thing you remember from that night? I just did my alarm. My phone was off. This isn't like. We are going back to Gateway.

We are going back to St. Louis. Yeah. Oh, that's, hey, that might be beneficial. So did you turn your phone off or what happened? I guess. I don't know. Something happened. My phone was off.

No alarm. woke up about 10, 30, 11 o'clock. Where? Mike Davis called me, and he said, we were talking about a few things. We got a bunch of fun projects we're working on behind the scenes. But anyway, he said, so what happened with Freddie? And I told him the story. And he's like, oh, this one's almost better than the Columbia story.

We got to give him to tell him to tell him. us a story one day. But obviously it's not going to be today because Freddie was tired. One thing, one thing I promise you, you will not be at this year's Daytona 500 was the flyover. And then the fly over after that and the flyer after that and then the fly over after me. If you were on the roof the one time, you would have your pants. So there was two things. That guy was close. That guy was 20 feet over our head. They did a practice the day before. Yeah. I saw that that morning. Yeah. Okay. So. I woke up to it. Yeah. Well, I got the good old come on in here and get take this little test so oh congratulations so i'm in there guess when the first excellence

like a whole cup of it man all right i love it so the best part about this is i the i'm in there you know and the first flyover happens and i'm so you made a mess i almost made a mess it was really close i mean that thing shook the building oh wow i didn't know and there was no warning They just, the first time over is like, yeah. Here you are trying to perform. Here I am trying to, you know. In the middle of your performance. I'm trying to piss excellence here and I can't even do it.

I don't want to spill any. I feel like that's almost a consequence if you say something dumb on the show the week before. So that must be a good start. Well, I pass like three other spotters on the way. So, I mean, the best, but I, listen, I can't really beat on them too bad here. So the 17 is not running the last practice. And guess who else? got a good old.

He was so mad. He had to get up. It's random, but they got both Roush Potters. Yeah, basically. All right. Guys. Show up like this to the meeting, please tomorrow. Tomorrow?

I'm not showing up to shit. I'll be on a call. Yeah, yeah, but be like this on the call. Are you going to the cup one tomorrow? Meetings? Come on. Come on. Holy cow.

That's like saying Brett's going to do a truck race. What an idiot. Part time. What an idiot. I'm changing my wood idiot to Chandler's I think our Brett's going to go to a meeting. Spot on, spot off. Spot off.

Spot off. Spot off. It was super fun yesterday to ride her out there. I am spot off. Damn. Where do you come from? Well, if you know these guys, you know it's a damn opinionated group. And we've had plenty of on-track moments

to talk about over the course of this season. Here's some of the best debates, conversations, and guest interviews that we've had from this year on DBC. I state this. If I am a NASCAR team owner, I am protecting my drivers in bubble wrap, and I do not want them to do any extracurricular activities where they could get hurt.

Because I look at the situation with the 9 team right now, and if I'm Napa, all of a sudden, my driver, who I've invested millions in, there's a possibility, maybe it's small, but it's still a possibility now that he's not going to make the playoffs. He's not going to be able to compete for the championship. That's a frustrating thing. situation. And I understand that drivers have to live their life. And I understand that they need an

outlet to get out and get away from the stress. But there are other ways to do that other than doing extracurricular sports that bring a high risk to it. And I understand that Chase has been doing this for a long time. He's good at snowboarding. He's used to it. I understand all that. But it's still a risk. And it's an unnecessary risk. And this day and age with all of the money and the investment and everything else and everything on his shoulders on the organization that's put on him, I just cannot justify drivers going out and doing these kind of things. I understand you've got to get away from things. Play golf.

Do something else, a recreational that doesn't put you at a heightened risk to get hurt. Yeah, I'm kind of like, I'm on the fence here. So bad I feel like, T.J. You know, I'm of the opinion. Guys should live their life. I feel like you should put it in the hands. I don't know if it needs to be contractual, but I feel like you should put it in the hands of the driver to be smart enough

to not put yourself at risk. And do I have a problem with him going snowboarding? not really. Do I have a problem when I'm going snowboarding the day before practice? Probably less than 24 hours before practice. Maybe. Now it wouldn't have mattered if he broke his leg on Monday or Tuesday. He's still going to be out. But he's still going to be out. But, you know, I see my stuff, and I'm sure Brett's did too. Twitter, everything blew up with, I guess you got your one idiot for the week. You know, what an idiot. And I don't think, you know, listen, if you love snowboarding, do it in December. Or, you know, and I get it. You know, the thing that really cracked me up about this, you know, literally blew up hundreds of text of tweets and stuff about,

there's your what an idiot, what an idiot, how could he do this? The guy ran a midget at the chili bowl. He ran a midget a bunch of times last year with no experience. No experience whatsoever. Just jumped in a midget and went, which I think is one of the most dangerous forms of racing that we have in this country. And every time I saw him race, there was a line of people waiting for an autograph. While they were there, were they shouting at him, you're an idiot? for doing this because you're jeopardizing your season in the nine card? No. So if if you're going to

show up and support him at these dirt races when when, you know, he's out there risking just as much to, you know, you can you can say he's, you know, trying to improve his racecraft. But I mean, you could just as easily, I mean, there's a reason why JGR basically told Chris Rbell last year, you're done driving midgets after that race in Texas. Like it's one of the most dangerous forms of racing that we have. And if you're not going to call him an idiot while he's out there running a midget, really call him an idiot for skiing. And it appeared to me like Danny just kind of ran Ross into the fence and then proceeded to run in the back of him three or four times down the backstretch trying to wreck him. So I don't know if, I don't know if something happened before that or if this

is dates back to last year or, you know, it's just, I mean, I don't think it was intentional, looked a little bit intentional, but it was, he just literally, I was like, oh, he must have got on his door. There's a really good replay from Harvick's in car. going in the corner and Ross really couldn't be any higher on the racetrack. Danny just kind of squeezes him in the fence. He went up and got him. Well, you said, T.J. said that Ross said, I ain't going to do nothing. Yeah, but I mean, that's still like, they were both, like, Danny was going to have a good

rough. If that was a retaliation, if that was intentional, that was not. Danny, you are great. Please keep signing my paychecks, but that did not work. Did anything happen before that point? I don't know. I don't think so. Not that I saw.

last year. I mean, besides that. It's just like, if you're going to, if you're going to do that, like Denny was going to run top five to seven, I think. He's going to be single digits. Single digits, probably. And then you ended up, I think, 20-something because of that. Yeah, that definitely won intentional.

I'd be curious. The actions detrimental is recording right now. So I'd be curious to see what his thoughts are. You should text him. Make sure you talk about that. Yeah. Oh, he'll talk. Yeah.

FaceTime, man. I'd FaceTime Dells Jr. If it was him. Freddie. Who do we have on the show today? So we get a lot of questions a lot of the time about, like, people will ask us, how can I get on DBC? And me and Brett have the same answer all the time.

You got to do something. Like, do something. And this some, did something. Josh Williams is in the house. Hey, buddy. So I guess I qualified. You, I mean, if we're going to talk about doing something, you have done something this week. I didn't even have taken provisional for this one.

What's up, man? I'm going to take a provision. for this show. I know. That's my favorite part of the show, everybody makes funny. Hey, I just want to tell you one thing. NASCAR listens to this show.

Oh, I know. And they love us. This is their favorite podcast. So the fact that you came on here probably makes you immune to any and all penalties that may have been forthcoming. Can we get that in writing? You guys can share your experiences in the NASCAR haul here. We have some in common.

Like, we did not stay as long as you did. But you guys didn't have pizza. All right. So we're obviously going to get to this in this show. But how long did you actually sit in that fucking holler? There was like, 140 laps to go. And I was like, can I at least change? They're like, no. I was like, can I have my backpack with all my stuff in it? No. I'm like, man, I'm in trouble. Did you have your phone? So TV came up to you and they were going to interview you. Oh, they were ready. What did the officials say that basically got you? I mean, it was like. I didn't see this. You guys don't understand. TV is coming up to interview Josh. Josh is pissed off, right?

And all of a sudden, this gray-haired official comes up to Josh, and Josh is gone. I mean, he goes missing. It's like, David Copperfield grabbed him. Oh, yeah. Yeah, so they were like, hey, do you got time for interview? And I was like, oh, yeah, I got plenty of time. And I was fixing, you know, Jack Hugh at this thing, right? But I was like, you know, let's do it.

And he's like, no, you got to go to infield care center. And Regan's like, oh, yeah, we can't interview him until he goes to infield care center. It's like protocol. and I was like, all right, here we go. So we went to the Infocare Center. But you didn't wreck? I didn't hit nothing. So why would you have to go to the Infoiccare Center?

I don't know. No. The grass was wet. Maybe they thought I sprained my ankle. TJ is literally scared for you right now. I'm sitting beside of you. He thinks he's going to get suspended. His hands are crossed.

TJ's like, I'm sorry, NASCAR, please. I'm over here. I'm just listening, man. But Josh, you got pizza. They didn't get pizza. Yeah. Well, at first, He was like, do you want anything to drink?

We got pizza. I was like, no. I was like, I don't want anything y'all got. And then three hours later, you're hungry. I was like, no, the pizza's not so bad. So the officials sit around all during a race just eating pizza? Is that what took the caution so long? Oh, that is no one.

We're not going down that, right? That might have been in. Ready, let's, let's roll into something. What are you talking about? What, uh, Josh, what was discussed in this NASCAR meeting? Because you guys can exchange stories. Listen, I've been in two meetings in there. And here's how my meetings went.

You're a fucking idiot. I can't believe you, fucking did that. Why are you such an idiot? You just go, all right, you're right. Yep, that's, that was my back and forth with mine anyway. Yeah. That's because you stole a parking pass.

Well, I didn't steal one. It's borrowed temporarily. I'm going to tell you what they don't like. Counterfeit parking passes. I just have to be right. Do you all see where that dude got fined $25 grand for selling hot passes? Oh, yeah. What an idiot.

I was going to beat my one day. You ruined it. How do you think? Really? How do you think it's a good idea to sell a hot pass? Dude, they were making it. a killing. He ended up going on for whatever, right? Yeah. Dude, I hope he made $25,000. What? Dude, he was making a kill and selling those things.

Wow. He would post it on like Facebook. It was on like a Facebook page. Yeah. At least he wasn't he wasn't scared for sure. All right. Spot on, spot off. Josh, throwing you into the fire. Bring it. You parked your car at the start, finish line and walked away from the vehicle after being ordered by series officials to bring his car to the garage during Saturday's Expending Series race. They told me. Are you spot on or spot off?

What an idiot. They did say parked that thing and he parked it. I'm going to give him that. I give you props for giving the peace sign instead of the other ones. I was so worried. I see, you know, we're on the roofs. I can't. I see him.

I see Josh on buckling. I'm like, holy shit. He's getting out of his car. And then he gets out and I seen the hand go up and I'm like, oh God, Josh, please tell me you didn't flip the tower off like Will Power style. And then somebody later on, oh, thank God. Somebody's like, no, he threw a piece. sign up there. I was like, whew. All right, go ahead.

I know my limits. Yeah, I mean, clearly. I actually waved at the flagman. I mean, we're good friends, right? So I like waved at him. Who was flagging? Rich? I think so. They looked right at me and they were like, you know, they were like, oh, I hope they don't see me. Like they waved back. We talked about it in the hollered. They're like, did you see us wave back? I was like, yeah. It's been fun. I mean, this is becoming. I saw this happen. Happened at Florence. in the late mall race that did with Dale Jr. down there last fall. Yeah, Chandler, I was giving Chandler

a play-by-play. I said, oh, I said, Josh just parked his car to start finish line. Oh, Josh is getting out of his car. All right, Josh is leaving. So then he, Chandler's like, somebody else did that. Who was it, Diaz, I think? They got out of start finish line. Same thing, Josh. I mean, that's all just reactionary, right? I mean, like, obviously you're pissed off.

Like, how does that go through your body? So Reed, So Orson is your spotter? Yeah. Let's blame it on Reed. Let's, let's tell you guys how this works. NASCAR the Tower announces these types of things over NASCAR radio. And the spotters and crew chiefs are generally listening. And the spotter's job is to tell you that NASCAR has deemed your car basically disqualified from the race.

So Reed tells you what. He said, NASCAR said, park it. And I said, come again? He said, yeah, they told us to park it. And then it got real quiet for a long time. And I'm like, just riding around. and I was like, hello. I was like, are we really done?

Like, is this serious? Yeah, they were hollering on the radio numerous times. Oh, yeah. So at this point, I'm like creeping down the front stretch. Because, I mean, I didn't. Just waiting to hear like. And I'd stopped. And I didn't do it right then.

Like, I just stopped. And I was like waiting. And it was nothing. Apparently they were all talking to the officials. So I just unplugged and I'm like, I'm just going to get out. I mean, it was like that. I mean, I didn't, I wasn't like riding around like, oh, I'm going to cause the scene. I was like slowing down and be like, what are we doing?

do you think do you I think I know the answer to this question do you think you should have been parked I don't think so no I don't either yeah I mean and I think that's why this is getting so much attention is because the court of public opinion is on your side I hate to tell you that's not going to help you when they make their decision as to what they're going to do to you but at the end of the day I go back to what I said man the TV broadcast was so extended and it was I mean just Algar called it quote embarrassing. Like I think we were just to the point to where you, you were just the scapegoat for, man, this is a bad broadcast and we're going to, we're going to park this guy.

Yeah. I mean, it is a rule, right? We saw the rule, Bob. The rule is, it's up to their discretion, right? They can give you any penalty they want. I think so, yeah. Yeah. Like, they could have gave you like a lap or two laps or something.

Because I would have got it back. Yeah. I was plenty of confidence. Yeah. Yeah. But it just, you know, it's unfortunate, right? So we got our sponsor on the car, right? They're Atlanta-based.

Everyone's there. And we made like, I don't even know how many laughs we made. But it wasn't enough. So it's like, what do we do? Well, I guess it kind of worked out for them better than if we would have won the race, to be honest. But, you know, it's like, that sucks, you know, for everybody. And for points for us, I mean, we rely on getting through the off season on making that top 20 to get our bonus. You know, so we can pay everybody and get our cars back ready for next year.

So minor setback. Maybe a major setback. We're going to go with minor. Can you tell us what Mario said to you before you walked off from a pit box? I've known Mario for a long time. And he's known me for a long time. And he said, be careful what you say. You know what you do for a living.

I said, I know. I said, I got it. I mean, 16-year-old Josh probably would have flipped the pit box over. But, you know, 29-year-old Josh said, I got to have a job on Saturday. Spot on top. Denny Hamlin says Chase Elliott's move was a quote tantrum. He shouldn't be racing next week. Right rear hooks are absolutely unacceptable.

Spot on, spot off. Ooh, Friday. Gotcha. I feel like I've seen this somewhere before. Spot on for Denny's comments, obviously. Listen, like we have a lot of fun on here about me professing my love for Danny and joking around about that. You can take Danny Hamelin completely out of this entire equation, in my opinion, would not change one bit. It could be somebody like Ross Chastain that maybe deserves 100 paybacks from 100 different people.

This was completely unacceptable. Danny moves up to racetrack, squeezes chase, chase gets in the fence, comes down pretty clearly to me, intentionally hooks him in the left rear. They also touched on the backstretch. Yeah, before that. Yeah. Coming off a two. But, I mean, to me, it's pretty clear that he intentionally hangs a left turn into his right rear quarter panel. Danny posted the SMT data, which clearly shows that...

How did he play it again? Keep going. Clearly shows that he hooked him in the left rear. I mean, the right rear with a left turn. So, to me, I think that if Chase is not suspended today or tomorrow, next week's probably going to be my last week with a hard card. because I tweeted last year that Bubba Wallace's penalty was unprecedented because nobody had ever been suspended before for intentionally hooking somebody in the fence. And let's get something clear because I see all you idiots out there talking about,

you know, oh, Bubba did this and he did something different. He went down there and tried to confront him. Steve O'Donnell clearly said in his quote, Bubba Wallace was suspended for what happened on the racetrack with Kyle Larson and the incident that occurred putting other drivers at harm. You can go up and read the quote. But listen, so that eliminates anything else that happened after the wreck. But so the precedent set, you suspended one guy.

If you want any integrity in your sport, you've had better suspend Chase Elliott this week. He's got one, Chase Elliott has one big thing going for him. And that is the name Carson Hosilar. Because how many times has he done this and they not do anything? Multiple. I don't know, four or five? I think, I think it's. That was also before the last guy that he suspended.

I think it's the exact same thing as what Bubba did to Larson, and I thought that was dirty. And I think what Chase did to Denny is dirty. It's the equivalent to sucker punching somebody in a bar. If you want to get in a fight, get in a fight. Man up. I mean, I don't know if that's sucker punch it, because Denny actually did put him in the wall,

so there was kind of a pushing first. Do you think Chase's day was over at that point? No, it wasn't over. Do you think his car was really hurt? No. Do you think Elliot's response about having, like once you tear the right sides off these things, it's over? I am. No. I am. I saw Austin Cendrick pound the fence in turn two and drive it to pit road, change the tires and take back off. These things don't break like they used to in the first, we were all, you know, the first six months of this car, yeah, we're some issues with stuff.

But people have figured out they're durable. We don't just break steering now like we used to. So this isn't the first time this year where the steering is broke and the guy drives that I showed you, instance where a guy said his steering broke after turning left on a straightaway and drives it all the way to the hauler after going two laps on the track and then his pit stall and then turns behind the wall in a sharp corner at a small track. So to Freddy's point, these guys also have a history. I mean, we talked about Bubba and Amarola having a history. We don't know why. Denny and Chase have a history too.

Denny wrecked Chase. Chase wrecked him back. But Danny got hit Martinsville into Chase, according to Danny. Well, I'm just telling you, there's a history here. And when you right rear somebody and turn them head on into the wall, I can't support that. Moving on the Sunday, Jerry Lagano says it would be an easy fix to have spare tires accessible for cars that have flatted on the track. He thinks that, sorry, flatted. That's pretty funny.

Andrew? No. Oh, it's Andrew's fault. You read a word that exists. You're not flatted. Like flat tire. Do not cut that out. It's flattened.

Exactly. Regardless, here's what happened, Casey. Joy Lugano, Joy Lugano had flat, he had fat tires. This is what you did. I blame you. Hold on. I blame you. So like when you bike, you say you flatted, like if you had a flat tire. Why are my trust is a lot of bikers?

That was just a terminology that. Arley Davidson. I have flattened on the track. He thinks that would be better than dragging the car on the track for two miles. Casey, this does. Listen to me, this doesn't matter. All that matters is Joy Lugano's rant when they got there to pick him up. Hold on a second.

I'll take that one. Let's, I don't take it out. Maybe I'm crazy. Yeah, that's probably accurate. It's probably crazy. Is this not the dumbest fucking thing you've ever heard of? Completely the dumbest thing I've ever heard. You wrecked.

You have four flat tires, but NASCAR should give you four really good tires to drive back. Have you ever seen how long it takes a trained pit crew to get the car off the ground on pit road? to get the tires changed. Now what are we going to do? Have four tow truck drivers out there trying to do it? On the banking. Oh, yeah. On the banking.

Jack it up on the banking. And then what if there's three guys out there? We have three trucks. Maybe we should drive by your pit stall, pick up your pit crew, bring them out there with you. Like, I get it. Yes, that would make your life a lot easier. You're not to fix this?

Don't spin out. I just like, and that's the other thing. You know, you hear the rant, and I get it. You're mad. You're just got wrecked. You were leading the race. You've got cycle back. don't be an asshole of the guy that's trying to help you.

Like, this guy doesn't know. Like, he's just MFing this guy and call him a stupid son of a bitch and every other name under the book. And then he gets out and he's like, you know, me, the tow truck drivers are very capable. Like, what is going on here? Like, you cannot honestly believe that we should just ride around killing parade laps while we just try to figure out how to change your four tires on the racetrack.

Like, this is an actual part. And the end of this, by the way, you didn't finish the race because the damage was too bad. Yeah, if they could have brought you 12 tires out there, then your car was wrecked. Like, it did not matter. I just, I don't know. I thought, maybe I thought like,

because he's like, oh, we've talked about this. I brought it up. He's trying to make intellectual points about it. And I'm like, this sounds like the dumbest I've ever heard of. Like, we're going to, like, Daytona, could you imagine Daytona coming up? We just have a 47 car pile up and we just kind of empty the whole infield and bring them all out there to change everybody's tires.

Like, what are you serious? Yeah, what are you going to want to be? I mean, he's getting pretty close. It reminds me of Joy Lugano's rant inside of his car reminds me when I get home with Tigo food and I open my burger up and they put a fucking tomato when I said no tomato. That might be the most accurate thing that you've ever said. That's stupid sons of bitches. Oh my God.

I mean, Ligano is. You want to drive back to that restaurant and throw the tomato at their window. I had a couple drivers I worked with earlier in my career and I thought they were bipolar. I've since learned all drivers are bipolar. Are you? How many drivers are you? After this weekend, how many drivers do you think are like, hey, can we take these microphones out of here? Because if you got priests on there, he's not being very friendly to Corey.

He said some mean things. Joey's just destroying the poor tow truck guy because he doesn't know what he's doing. I want more microphones than cameras. I want them all. I want cameras everywhere. I want them on the spotter stand too. Nope. Yeah, I don't think they need to be up there.

I mean, would I tell you he was dog cussing that guy? I mean, for third, I'm like this, I couldn't even listen to it. I was trying to listen on the plane and I couldn't hear it. So then I went back and I thought it was over. Like I saw one clip that was like 10 seconds. And then there was another one that's like a minute long. And it's just not stop. What if, you know, that guy walks up to the car and what if the rules are reversed?

What if that guy had a swadding? You stupid. We can't, we can't assume that you listeners have heard Joy Lagano ranting. All you got to do is go on Twitter and find it. I'm telling you, it is epic. Yeah. I mean, I understand. What do you think he's going to do to that guy?

He's going to do something for that guy. No, he's not. No? No. He's not going to send him a Christmas card. In his interview after that, when he comes out of the care center, he's like, you know, he's praising the tow truck driver. He's like, you know, they could do it. You know, they can change.

Well, you couldn't, you were just MFing this poor guy because he didn't know if you wanted to push or a toe. If I had been that guy and I had been towing his car back, I would have been swerving left or right. I'd be like, you know how long it would have took me? You want to call me a stupid son of a bitch. Well, I'm going to tell you what. Now you're going to really call him. I would have dropped it. Tunnel turn boom.

Seems I would have loved to be it. It would have took me three days to hook that thing up for one. Then I would have dropped it on the way back. And I'd have my left hand out the window going, you, you know, how's your ride back there, what about out of the tunnel turn? The guy just does his loop one time, keeps on going. A couple circles. Oh, my gosh.

I'm lost. Make it look like he's tubing on the lake. Just sling his ass all over the racetrack. Oh, my gosh. Oh, that was amazing. Hopefully that guy listens to the show. Perfect visual. We've got a special guest that people are going to like to hear from, I think, Mr. Carson Hosewar is in the house.

It seems like a switch went off and you have all of a sudden just, I mean, I hate to say matured overnight. I know there was a conversation between you and Dale Jr. Where he maybe gave you a little bit of humble pie to have for dessert, right? What happened? What's clicked to make you a better race car driver inside your own head? Because you had the speed. It had to be up here, right? Yeah, I mean, there's a lot of different things.

Part of it is understanding, like, what they mean slow down to go fast, right? Like, they kept, I would, I would hear it my whole life, like, you slow down. That's a Richmond tactic, too. I sat at Sonoma even, like, and I won the poll, and I had 16, I feel like awkward, very uncomfortable, like, gut-wrenching conversations, right? Like, with a bunch of, you know, even, you know, the Alliance, like, Trek house like you know Daniel Swarze is filling in Worldwide Express Nice you know all the way down the chain you know my team that team everything

and I had conversations with almost all of them and all of them were uncomfortable and all of them were you know just slow down a little bit like you'll go faster what do you mean slow down like I always thought you had to win the race because you're the fastest guy you had to like boxing like mentality like that's where I came into this I thought You know, if I'm in a boxing ring, I'm going to just keep punching. I'm going to figure out how to keep punching and you get that last round. You just start swinging.

You don't worry about how tired you are. You don't worry about how much breath you have left. You don't worry about anything. You just plan on laying in the ground the second the ring goes because you're that tired. Like that was my mentality driving. And I was just going to, why wouldn't you put 110% of all your level into every lap you run and took it way to the extreme? Like I was way to the extreme. I agree.

At times, we saw that. Desper in every moment. Thought I should win every race or have a shot to win every race. At times I would like have a shot to win, right? And you see it all, you know, something happens, flat tire, anything. And I would see there and see it all fall away, right? I'm like, man, what do I got to do to get back in the race? Like back in the moment and then realizing back then, like, okay, even if you're back in the race,

you're going to start 24th or 25th or 26 or wherever this. is left, you didn't win in the race. And once I started realizing that, and I started looking back at it and realizing you probably don't want the whole garage against you. You don't want your whole team against you. You have a lot of awkward conversations. You're tired of the conversations with your own team owner and your own sponsors, you own everything. That running fifth and like decent conversations when working on your stuff is a lot better than winning. And I was just so focused on winning. And once I got the first win, I could kind of realize, like, I thought it would fix itself, right? Like, and like, I wouldn't, I didn't have to make a change. Like, I would very much thought, I don't know if it's the

arrogance as a race car driver or whatever, like, oh, I'm not the problem, right? And then I want to race. I'm like, oh, everything's going to fix itself. My hands are clean. Everything will fix itself. And then go to Martinsville and then all of a sudden I'm having these conversations. I'm like, I won a race. Why are these conversations still? Why are these conversations still happening? And then got sat down, had more conversations, had the big piece humble pie with Dale Jr. And then I'm like, whenever it clicked, it clicked. And I'm like, man, I just showed up in this guy's shop, idol of mine, childhood dream. And that's the first thing out of his mouth. What do he say? He said, Hey man, like, when do you get to stop tearing up?

Like, that was this conversation. Owners don't like to spend money on fixing stuff. He's like, you ain't going to do that in one of these cars, are you? Like, he's like, man, you're better than that. I'm like, oh, fuck. Like, six-year-old me's like, all I see is a six-year-old me just sitting there. Like, I was envisioning, like, he was talking to six-year-old me. I'm like, man, I got to fix this, like, really fast.

Right. A lot of young, up-and-coming drivers that you'll see. see an asphalt cars probably in the next three, four years are racing in there. A lot of asphalt guys. They go back there. I watched the other night. I think it was Tuesday or Wednesday. Like Ross was running out there.

And McIntosh there. They're the guys that are Jesse Love. Jesse Love. They're the ones kind of dominating the action right now. Jesse Love. What a great name. I know. Sounds like a wrestler Tuesday or Wednesday.

That might be my stripper name. Jesse Love. I don't. Hey, great, thanks for calling the Jesse Love connection. I mean, we've all got a stripper name we want to have. I don't think I've got a stripper name. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Wait, you've thought about this.

What stripper name do you want to have? I want Jesse Love. No, what was you want before, Jesse Love? I thought Damien was a cool name for a long time. Damian Love. Oh, my God. Are you supposed to take, like, the little street you grew up on? You didn't think next on stage, Brett was going to be a good one?

Now, everybody left. I wouldn't get any dollars. I'd be up there shaking that thing, and they'd be like, damn, Brett's a terrible name. Two guy clogging in a thong. But behind bread, at next door. is Jesse Love. Everybody's going to stick around. And if you're in town for Charlotte Race Week, head to the closest strip club where you'll

see Brett. Brett's at 11. What a terrible name. We're going to go from scores to big ass. The funny is that is so Brett never goes to a strip club ever. Like I've tried to take them a thousand times. I don't, I've probably not been a thousand times. Didn't you go to the Spearmint Rhino at like four o'clock?

Well, maybe that you this year. Listen, that happens. That's Vegas. Vegas doesn't count, right? Daytona, we always go like at the end of the night because it's open and hour later. And, uh, well played, well played. And, uh, but like, I've tried to get him to go forever. He don't ever go. And one night we're here in Charlotte. He's like, I'm going to go out to hotshots. You stop and let's just have one beer. And I'm like, the me and you, the term one

beer has never applied to us in our lives. So I'm going home because I know what one beer turns into. And I have to drive. I'm staying my house at Morseville. It was like a 45 minutes away or whatever it is. So that night, I get pictures from Brett at a strip club. I forget which one it even was with fans just staying out. And I'm like, thank God I went home because there's no telling what happens on the Charlotte weekend. Well, I was staying across from the racetrack. They got to marry out literally right across the track.

I had to be there late for sponsor stuff. I had to be there early to spot. So I was like, man, I'm just going to crash here instead of driving 50 minutes home, 50 minutes back. So I did. So I walked to Hooters. Well, I meet these DBC fans. And they're from Tennessee.

And I'm sure they're listening now. And they were begging me to go to the freaking strip club that I actually did go to when I was single and moved to Charlotte. So hell off I went. Terrible I did. I spent like 500 bucks in that place. That's why I don't go to them places. They want your money.

No kidding. Well, did you take the 500 and you had to get it out in there? Probably I had to get it out in there and pay $50 for that. So I really spent $550. But no, it's a Jesse Love connection. Next on stage, Freddy Craft. See, that don't have a big ring to it like Jesse. Stick around, ladies.

Brett's coming up. I mean, does the look have anything to do with it, too? what are you trying to say? Oh my gosh. There are bigger strippers, okay? I had a funny, so there are people who like bigger strippers. That was rude. So I've seen somebody, I'm assuming you didn't use it for an ACDC.

I saw ACDBC. I guess LaBlainty was not happy with me yesterday. I don't even know why. But I saw the quote and it said, I'm on my last roll with him. Is that a fat joke, you think? I think that is. I mean, what do you mean I'm on my last role? What the what the fuck is that supposed to mean?

Like, I've heard of last nerve, but I mean, what last role? This would be a great time to have him on. I know he said that he was going to enjoy. I don't know. He might not be talking to me. I guess he's pissed off at me. I don't know why. I guess he thinks Bubba listens to what I say, which he'll be surprised to hear.

That's not the fact all the time. Oh, my gosh, man. And we have a very special guest this week. We do. We do. We reached out to some folks and we found somebody. next on stage, Jesse the Hammer Love. Dancing to Girls Go, Wow.

Yeah, what's up, guys? I drive for Toyota Racing. Obviously, I'm not here for my driving talents. I'm here for my name. But you're here for your talents. Thanks regardless. You may not be driving. Thanks regardless for having me on.

I think, do you think he's ever seen Girls Goals? Do you know what that is? I don't. That was like, it's a good old Lolly crew song from probably the, God, it probably was the 80s. I'm going to ask a question that I don't really want the answer to. Jesse, what year were you born? 2005.

Jesus Christ. 2005. That's my five-year reunion. Oh, my God. We were running hard about 2005. Jesse, we had some fun last week with your name, obviously. And so I tweeted you. And I told Casey when we were leaving here, I was like, make sure Jesse calls in next week.

Well, obviously, we started tweeting. So what's it, I mean, is this like the biggest moment of your professional life right now? Yeah, absolutely. Trump's everything I could have ever thought doing. Every possible win. My Twitter follows went up. Michael Nett really helped out to. Shout out to him.

What the fuck is going on with Michael? I have no idea. I even talked to say me about that today because me and Sammy are fine now. And we were working out this morning. I was like, dude, you don't believe this. And I showed him and he didn't even know. Okay, what did he even say? There was a lot.

There were a few comments. I probably can't say it. You definitely can't say it. He was saying a lot of things. Brett text me. He says, what's he? It was because it was in a reply to your tweet, I think. Brett's tweet about Jesse or something,

and Michael tweeted something about, Pip squeaks and swing in, and he's like, what's that about? And we had just talked about getting Jesse on the show. I go, yeah, I think he's talking about Jesse. I didn't remember the time that Jesse took any swings at anybody. But, yeah, Michael, I love Michael. He actually had tweeted me or text me that morning at about 2 a.m. if he wanted to come on that week.

2 a.m.? Yeah, about 2 a.m. something like that, I would say. Sounds by right. But 2 p.m. 2.m. I don't think it matters. his tweets are, they're pretty low on the,

I don't give a little. I don't know right now. I spot, Michael was the first guy I spotted for a cup, so we've known each other quite a while, but we'll get him on here eventually to hear some outlandish.

Should we have a bloody Mary bar before we start to go? You think? As if you'll need it. Oh, boy. But yeah, man, thanks for coming on. What's going on in the world of Jesse Love? I know we got some Chuck races coming up.

I know you're... Arco-W. What's it like to work with a car owner as annoying as annoying as, Casey. Can we ask that? Seriously? Obviously, Casey definitely wears the pants. Oh, we knew that.

But, no, Chad's been great for me, obviously helped me out with the dirt racing, figuring all that stuff out. Kind of had a off year last year, just not winning as much as I wanted to. And then this year we've kind of started off where I have went around like five races just because ARCA is so compact,

like middle of the summer months is when we start racing. We keep raining out in the super late stuff. So it's been good to already rattle off some wins the arc of stuff and have a great team around me and it's going really great now so just kind of riding the wave where where are you from uh bay area california okay because i feel like the first time oh boy i remember let's come out somewhere different to be from red mike you're right immediately um uh the first time i think i remember seeing you race was in one of keith's midgets

i don't know if that's where did you start racing it yeah i still racing in quarter midgets um It was kind of always in my family. My dad raced with Jeff Gordon and John Bigford growing up. So that's kind of why racing was always, like, in the background. But when I was five, I got into quarter midgets and started racing midgets for Keith when I was, like, 14. I ran late malls out in California, and that's kind of what put me on the map because that was a televised deal. We won, you know, two championships and race with Haley Deegan, she was my teammate, and that's why I got into the Toyota program. I started race for Bill McAnally when I was 15 and 16 and won those championships.

and then obviously started racing for Toyota out, how to East Anarka? That's quite the resume building up to be. Yeah, yeah. And he's only 18. Yeah. No, Casey,

he just told me when he was born. Well, I'm just going to ask you, what have you accomplished? What did you accomplish when you were 18? When I was 18, um, here we go.

I drove across country to California, and that's when California was cool. And I had a good time out there for all summer and I drove back home. Then I went to college. Wow. That really levels up. That was when he was in 18. That was in 1966.

It was 1993 ass. That's all you can do in 1969. Jesse was minus 22 in 1993. Wow. Brett's at Nashville. Yeah, I saw that. Stop. Let me, you know, I was just talking to Taylor Moyer,

Josh Barry's crew chief, about DB, he might be around this morning. Let me give him a call. See if he wants to come in. Send anybody with an opinion to the Dirty Mo Studio immediately. Stand by. All right.

Well, the DBC Audible has officially been called. Brett is apparently not going to make it to the show today. His flight did not change apparently like we had thought it might have. And we changed the show for him. So, Brett, you suck. to move back to his schedule a little bit. And so TJ had to bail. He's going, I don't know, he's going to lunch with Brad or something.

Thankfully, we have an entire race team down the street. We could pull Talon from. So we called old Taylor Moyer up. And Taylor, luckily, we have a little bit of your time today. Absolutely, yeah. Luckily, all my meetings went long. So I was just sitting on tire eating a packet of tuna fish and got a phone call. Nothing going on there.

Nope. So. And then Andrew asked me to ask you about. something with Sam Moyer. Mayor. Sam Mayor. Oh, Sam Mayor. Why am I?

Taylor Moore. I'm so tired. Nashville really got me. Sam, did he like pee on you or something? Oh, yeah. That's a great story. No, he didn't actually. What the fuck?

Literally the text messages I get from Andrew. So, me and Sam, Sam's a great kid. He drove from me last year, but this would have been 2021. He got in a Pocono, like, two days after his tour. 18th birthday when he's eligible. We go to Michigan. He rips the transmission out in the first stage. And we've had a pretty bad year up into that point when I was a little frustrated. Ripped it out and he came in and rather than just be done, I said, no, we're going to fix it.

And you're going to use the rest of the day as a test. We're going to be 30 laps down. We're going to go learn some. We're going to turn this season around. I said, stay in the car. Don't even get out. My group of mechanics was great. Put it up on Jack Stan's. Transmissions out to do that. You got to drop the exhaust. pipes and all the straps to go with it. So I think we'd already drop the exhaust pipes. We'd change the transmission, drive shafts back in, or putting the exhaust pipes back in. And I'm laying on my left side. I'd be under the driver at this point underneath the car. Danny Jr. is my car chief. Good buddy. He's looking at me from the other side, and I see his eyes get like as big as saucers.

And I feel something dripping in my ear. And I look up and it goes like right in my mouth, in my eyes. And based off of his eyes, I was like, this kid just pissed on me. So I jumped out from underneath the car. I ripped the window net out and I started pulling his belts off. And I was going to drag him out of the window and dragging him behind the trucks and just absolutely sh**b stomp him. I got a long fuse, but like that's too far. You've just disrespected your people. No matter whether it's me or whoever's changing the transmission.

And he's like, what? What? And I'm like, you peed on me. He's like, oh, no. He had just taken a whole water bottle that cooled off and poured it off. By the time I got through him and through the seat. and, you know, I, but I, I don't lose my temper a lot. And then we laugh about it.

He's, he's told the story, too. We laugh about it. It was kind of a good moment, right? You just got to get a little frustrated sometimes to come together. But I was pretty, like, my fuse was gone. And I was like, well, I'm going to get fired because I'm just beat up one of my drivers. And, you know, Scott, Mary, his dad's not going to be impressed and been like Taylor Can't Crew Chief Sam anymore. But me and Sam have a lot of laughs about that.

That is phenomenal, actually. Oh. That is actually. But wasn't P. It was just Wob. That's, yeah, let's clarify. At least that's what he told you. Without further ado, I got to kick it to my good friend who I met over 20 years ago,

thanks to the Sadler family. And obviously at some point I would have ran it to you anyway. My good friend, Ardy Kempnerf with Fox Sports. Artie, how you doing, brother? I'm doing great. It's really neat to be here. You've got to get nervous at some point in this career path that you've got. What's your most nervous moment?

Because it's got to be a Super Bowl, a Daytona 500, a debut of NASCAR on Fox. It's got to be something. Okay, so it is a Super Bowl, but it's not anything that you would kind of imagine. I've told this story before. If I ever wrote a book, and I'd have to spend time actually writing to write a book, this would be one of the chapters, and it would be shoot the effing blind kids. It would be chaptered. So we had a deal that had been orchestrated by our chairman, David Hill, who was a brilliant.

Oh, I remember David. He was a brilliant innovator. And it was bringing the Florida School of the Blind and Deaf together with Alicia Keys. and a tape-recorded deal of Ray Charles. So Ray had been dead for quite some time. And we had to kind of mix the tape-recorded deal with Alicia and the young children from the Florida School. And they were awesome.

Well, I was kind of getting, rehearsing this on a Friday, and we went through two rehearsals, and it looked really beautiful. And all of a sudden the truck door bams open, and there's my boss. He's a little profane. And he says to me, shoot the fucking block kids. I go, what? He goes, I set this up for you to show the blind kids.

I said, I'm showing all the kids. What are you talking about? And he kind of was lodging a feed that wasn't the feed that we were doing. Oh, boy. And that sent me into a tizzy. Panic. Because this doesn't matter for the game, but it matters to him. So I don't know if you folks understand.

I think we all do. You have the audience of one, right? We may have six million viewers on a race, but if my boss is watching, he's got something that he wants to see, I even have a boss. You better put it on. We're going to put that on. That's got a priority one.

So I literally sweat it out. Like I had the Super Bowl to do, and I literally sweat it out. I mean, Saturday night, I was up until 2.30 in the morning going through every second of that shoot. And it's not something I do natural. I don't do music stuff. I'm a sports guy. Right. And now I am kind of, I'm going to get this right or I'm going to lose my job.

Well, we do that thing. Then the first Super Bowl director and all the guys who tell you whether it's Rich Rousseau, Drew Escoff, all the guys that have done Mike Arnold, the worst part of the Super Bowl is the 30 minutes leading up to the game. It's the pomp and circumstance. It's kind of cool. The players come out and you're all, but then you've got, you know, you've got the Walter Peyton Man of the Year award. You've got this.

You've got the anthem. You've got all these. things, that's the stuff that makes me sweat. I bet on the anthem every year. So if you ever have any insight into that. I totally have insight on it. I cannot believe you are moronically bet on the anthem. Over or under? I get it. I get it. But I would never do it.

Anyway, this is that ends up. I'm sorry. I'm sorry to board you guys. But we finished, she finishes the performance, Alicia. It's all gone perfectly. The door kind of swings up and actually can hear it when he comes. in, he goes, that was freaking awesome. And he walked out the door and I was the last time I heard from him all day. That was perfect. And then we did the Super Bowl. That was a good thing. That was the most nervous I've ever been. Of all sports, of every event. That is insane. It's right. The Super Bowl itself didn't, because that's what you do for a living.

Right. Look, look, you guys have worked with the best drivers in the world. I worked with Clint for a while. That's right. You're right. They may have butterflies. They might have butterflies. They might have butterflies. but they're not nervous. Yeah. You know, I always think about that. When you're watching your favorite golfer, and he's got 242 yards,

and he's got a four-in, and you're going, oh, God, that's so hard to do. I've got a four-end. I can't hit a four-end. Well, he can. Right? So when I do these jobs, first of all, I've got the greatest crew in the world.

So if I screw it up, the camera guys are still going to be great. So even if I just close my eyes and shout-out numbers, it's going to look good on Fox, because we have the best theme in the world. They do. You guys know them. I mean, you know, you know Drano, you know Nelson, you know Steve Zajak, you know Pony.

These guys are the legends of the business. You know, I get a lot of, you know, credit. Production gets way too much credit. But the technical teams that we have, that's what makes you go. The operations teams, you know that. Yeah. I mean, you guys are part of that. You know, you...

Same thing for us, man. It's the crew guys. It's the pit crews. It's the spotters. The spotters are a big part of that. It's like you guys are part of a team like I am. Yeah, so Graham Smith, Welcome to DBC.

Good to see you. You picked a great show with Brett not here. So how did you really mean that? Do you really enjoy the podcast? I mean? I actually, I started listening on the later end, and I think at least I can account for the most recent episodes.

It's been fantastic. Yeah, I've really enjoyed it. So just talking about, obviously, you are the vice president of business operations at U.S. Legend Cars International. I mean, is that, I used to refer to 600 racing. Yeah.

I love the roval so much. I, so when we first, when he came to, that was when I was still in college, he, he barged in my bedroom was like, roval. And I was like, that's not even a word. You made that up. And he said, I did. And it's great. And so we're going to go do it.

And I was out at work. I was driving a Ford Focus RS. I'll never forget. It was my favorite cars ever owned. So much I owned three of them. Not at the same times. No, I wrecked a couple. But I went out in the track and, and dad said, I'm going to call you.

from the TV I guess the TV spotter stand essentially the TV stand up on the top and the roof and he goes I want to watch he's like go out there

and tell me what you think and he showed me the way around the track and so like before there were rumble strips before anyone knew what was happening I was out there

digging in this little hatchback doing like a buck 45 buck 50 on the backstretch feeling like I was going to die and I love that track so much I hope it never leaves and you may not want to tell this story but that's not the only time

you were on there in a street car no no actually there was another time and I do want to tell this story. Okay. So there I was. Bubba Wallace and I have been, we've been pretty good buddies for a while. And Bubba texted me at one point and we had talked about,

about going on the roval before the roval was even a thing. And there was an obvious, like, well, I can't take my cup car out there. I was like, I didn't think you could. He said, but I do have this little Lexus. And he's like, you drive something fast. We can go out there and have some fun. I said, sure. Well, I thought, like, you know,

how you go to a bar every once in a while and you say somebody like, like, oh, we should hang out sometime, you know, and it never happens. That's kind of what I thought, because we were just becoming friends. And sure enough, I'm at lunch, and I'm on a date. And I'm on a lunch date with a girl up by the speedway. And my phone buzzes, and it's Bubba. And he goes, hey, I'm in the air. You want to hit the track. And I was like, I'm not going to pass up this opportunity. This is going to be a lot of fun. So I just look at her and I was like, do you want to go on the the track? And she goes, yeah, sure. And I go, sure, done. So I pull up to the back. And she's not an NASCAR fan.

So she doesn't know Bubba. She doesn't know anything about the track or really anything that's going on. So I pull up and Bubba's waiting there at Gate 26 in the back stretch in his Lexus. And she goes, who's that? I'm like, it's just my friend. He's going to come with us.

We go out there and we start gunning it. And I forgot to tell Bubba the rumble strips were not drilled into the track yet. Oh, no. So Bubba being a professional race car driver, goes and hits the Rumble strip and slices his, I can only assume, very expensive Lexus tire

clean open. Then I get the phone call, and this is what really sold the date, I think. This is why I never got a second one, is because he then basically calls me, he says, can you pull over? I've had an issue. I'm like, that's obviously an issue. The team is actually there, I guess, for a tire test. They just loaded his car right up on the roller.

And he goes, can I ride with you? And the two things that hit my head were like, why? Because I'm me and you're you. Like, I could let you drive the car. He says, no, I want to see your line. I was like, you want to see my line. My line doesn't exist. I've had maybe six more laps on this track that you've had.

Have you seen him run a road course? You're better off driving. So I go out there. But here's the best part is he walks up and in pure Bubba fashion, he opens the door. He opens the passenger door. He goes, hey, I'm Bubba. Would you mind moving to the back seat for me? And he moved towards the back.

And so this poor girl who was going to remain nameless was just all over the back seat because I'm flying around. Now I'm trying to put on a show. because Bubba's right. Oh, gosh. Oh, it was great. We did not have a second date. So no second date?

Are you dating any other else? Yes, yes. I'm asking for my single sister. No, I've been in a relationship for four and a half years. Yes. Oh, wow. Hey, Juliana. Sorry.

Bummer. Yeah. Yeah. So I remember we were there, we were going there for a test that day. This is well before I knew you. Yeah. Oh, yeah. We were going there for a test that day.

And the guys from the team sent me, I got a picture of Bubba's Lexus on the flatbed. I was like, I was like, what is that idiot do? And then I think about 20 minutes into that test, he patted it in the first turn wall, and that was the end of that weekend, too. Golly. That was fun, though. Back to drama between Austin Hill and Sheldon Creed. Richard Childers tells Dustin Long, I've had drivers drive for me before, but nobody as stupid as Sheldon Creed.

Spot on, spot off. Jeff. Just go Brad. Just leave this one at the Brett. That's why I was avoiding. No, I 100% won't. Well, Jeff. Yeah.

I don't think I can make it through this part. All right. Listen, we had a text thread. Live look at. We had a text on Saturday night. And I've f***ed up. And I tell you all, I f***ed up. Like, I royally, royally.

Because my brain, it doesn't work. Look, look, the most obvious, to say that somebody's the stupidest person that ever charge of her children, it's a fairly obvious answer. And I'm not trying to, well, I am trying to insult somebody, I guess. But, you know, John Lestownley was like probably one of the worst race car drivers we've ever seen at the top level. He wrecked everything all the time. He tried to murder somebody, his estranged wife and her, you know, with breaking their house with an axe a couple years ago and got shot and he's no longer with us. It doesn't change the fact that he was stupid while he was with us in my opinion.

Anyway, Brett, speaking of stupid. I am as stupid as he is accusing me of being. That's all I'm going to say until he gains his composure and can finish the story. The text was, oh my God, Brett. And that set off a chain reaction of disaster. I said, oh, my God, Brett, did you just tweet about a dead guy? And I was like, no. Because Brett tweeted, Brett tweeted with a GIF and it said,

live look at John West County. You just say live look? Because I thought he was doing it on purpose. I forgot he had passed away. And I apologize to his family and friends. Because I f***ed that up. They f***ed it up so bad I deleted the tweet.

How does that happen? I was like, how does Brett feel bad about this? I thought it was, I mean, dark humor and I'm sorry, but it was, no, it was not, no, I didn't mean that at all. Prince said, he's dead? I've never seen.

somebody backtracked like that. Like he was apologizing to his family in our group text. You don't think any family members were in there with us? Oh, God. I was like, I mean, I was dying. I was worse than this in my hotel room by myself. I kind of, like, I didn't, I didn't see it when I first ever saw it when I came in there and I'm like, oh my God, this happened. Like, that was like, holy. Their responses to it. Oh, people responded? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, they responded.

Some were on your level, and then some were just calling me bad names. The dark humor was how I was on them. I mean, you should be used to on Twitter. You probably don't see a lot of it. What's Larry Kable got to say? Lord, I apologize. Oh, goodness. So are we spot on your spot off for Richard's comment?

Okay, sorry. We got signed track. Sorry about that. These are the stories that probably shouldn't be told that we tell on here. I'm sweating now. It makes me look worse than you because you feel bad about it. Yeah, Jeff's like, Jeff was, Jeffers, he was running with it. He told the line. He's like, you're right.

I wouldn't delete it. I was asking people last night. I was like, should I even talk about this? Like, this is this making me look terrible? I mean, maybe it does. So, sorry, I hope my girls never see this. If so. Anyway.

It would be fun. Anyway, so. What was a question? I forgot. To Richard Childress's comments about Sheldon being that he is the, the stupidest. Yep, pretty much. Are we spot on or spot off for this comment, Jeff? How can you be spot on?

He didn't even do anything. Like, how can, what are we talking about? Why is everybody mad at him on his team, aside from the fact that he's leaving and Austin Hill's staying? Andy Petrie's yelling at him, Childress is saying this stuff. Austin Hills, you know, I watched that, because after Austin Hill was so mad

and everybody's so mad, I thought, oh, maybe I missed something. So I went back and watched the replay. We were all sitting in the press box. They're playing it. And I'm like, point out, like, where he does something wrong. And we're like, no, not yet, not yet.

No, no, no. He didn't do anything? What do you do? Like, that's about as fair as you could ask to, a final four spot on the line, you have to win. And Austin would have made it in, too. No, he wouldn't have. Yeah, I thought that until Freddie.

Talk about stupid, Jeff stupid. Yeah. I thought about on point. I actually looked into this with a stats, statistician guy for MBC. Statician. Yeah, whatever guy. And he was not,

Cole Custer did what he had to do. He would have been one off. So I was wrong about that. But still doesn't change anything. I'm spot on for Richard's comments because Sheldon was stupid. What Sheldon should have done was wrecked the f***k out of the 21. Like, that's what he should have done. Like if you're going to go there, you've got to go there.

Like, you know, you talk about John Hunter wrecked Brandon Jones. John Hunter won the race. I'm not sorry. Ty Gibbs won the race. But like Schrader's deal was so fun. We were doing the cup stuff. And that was when, you know, you were still mechanic and a little bit on the car and spotting. Well, then I just kind of turned into a spotter.

Well, then me and Schrader were dirt race all week. So we'd leave on Tuesday, go dirt race at about three different spots. And then by the time the weekend come, you couldn't even drink by the weekend because you had so much fun. And you've been to Wheatland, you've been to Farmer City, all these dirt tracks. And Schrader on the floor. You're flying a lot of places too, right? Oh, yeah. I mean, he had two King Airs.

So we would leave one of those on Tuesday and just, I mean, we raced. and then we played and we raced and we played. And I mean, I read the other day where he says he's going to do it 30 more years. And I think, hell, I'm 55. So I know Shreder's a week or two older than me. What was his pilot's name that was famous around here? Earl. Earl.

Earl. And Earl would come in. It was so, I'm telling you, I could sit here for six months. But Earl would, I sit up front with Earl and Shreder sit in the back. Because you couldn't let Shrader sit in the front. Because he got up there one time. and he had some wine and he kind of fell asleep

in front of a king air and we've all been in the front of a king air yeah yeah well he poured the wine right in the aviard so now the fuses are popping out and the s' going bad

and then another time he tries to help like I did whether I'd turn the radio or do that you know we've all switched you know king air is pretty simple until you need to whatever but Schrader shuts the fuel off so they're thinking they're going down

and they are down at the interstate looking to look in the land and finally Earl's season hits the switch. But I mean Earl would come in. Did he flip it off on purpose? No, Schrader was just trying to help, but he was trying to save fuel too, I guess. Oh, my gosh. I don't know what that plan was.

So you got to tell the story about the time that the pilot shows up and y'all just sit there for a while and sit there for a while and you ain't moved yet. Now, which location is this? Because there's a couple of them. I've had some pilots. He couldn't find the keys to the plane. Oh, now that's just kind of Schrader, when he bought his second king air, he bought Rusty Wallace's 200. Schrader had a 100. So Earl gets from a 100 to 200, and you would think it would be a lot of difference.

But sitting on the 200, and here we are, you know, okay, let's go. And Earl's like, I'm going to have to get him to come out and show me how to start it. So he goes in and gets Rusty's pilot to come out and show him how to get it going. I didn't know that would be that much difference. I ain't flying on a point in with a pilot that don't know how to start it. That's scary already. Earl would do some of the stuff. Like we'd come in and he's going, come on, baby, come on baby.

And I'm sitting there with him, you know, and that come on baby stuff, I don't like any of that. And I'd be like, Earl, you let me get the flaps that's not working. So we come in and Schrader, you know, we're upside down, we're flying through because we're going to the dirt race. Because Schrader's getting $5,000 to show up at these dirt races, so we're going. No matter. We get up there in the weather's just terrible. and then you land and then I got the door down and we wake Shrader up and we get out

and I was like give me a cigarette I smoked then give me a cigarette and give me a beer you know I mean soon as he's but it was fun times I mean like you said you know in our years it has come there's been so much fun and then I don't know they start when they started fun sucking is when I started

that's when my attitude got back my attitude's been bad for quite some time well this show wouldn't be where it is without you guys, the fans, and there's no better way to have your voice heard on the show than reaction theater. Boy, did we get some memorable calls

this year. Take a listen. This is your weekly Blaney fan update. We are currently drinking beers in the bathtub. But we'll get on next week. Go quiz. Okay, I'm a little concerned about... That sounds like you. We're not going to lie.

How bad did Blaine's... any run this week. He was not good. Where did he end up? He's not as bad as Cindrick. Who is we are drinking beer in a bathtub? That's the concern. How big is this bathtub?

Did he say we? He said we are drinking beer. Yeah. But I mean, most bathtubs aren't big enough for we. You know? I mean, take Carsonosa right here. Guys six foot eight over here beside me. Do you want to be in a bathtub drink a beer with him right now?

I'm not getting in a bathtub with him. It's not happening. I'm not getting a bathtub with anybody. My legs stick out anyways. I bet they do I can't take it back I take a bath in the pool It's the only way I fit

I hate people's feet on me And I bet your toes are like really long Because you're so damn tall If your toes touch me I would vomit I hate feet I hate even pretty girl's feet On a feet

You hate your own feet Yes I don't like my feet either You're telling me I guess that No no no No I mean Hottest girl known to man Don't touch me with you

You're not touching her feet No, don't touch me with your feet. Why, what's wrong with their feet? I don't, I don't. Are you, are you able to go to the beach? Yeah, but I don't sit there and play footsies with it. Yeah, but I mean, do you notice other people's feet when you're sitting there and stuff? I don't like, look.

I might like, footophobia, but. It ain't really the feet as much as the toes. You make sure not to look down, though? Like, are you, like, actively avoiding looking at people's feet? It's the toes I have a problem with. Well, what's the toe? Like, like, the toenails, though. Get your f*** your feet off.

He's got shoes on, thank God. Blaney finished 14 Oh that's not bad We drink a beer in the bathtub He said Maybe it's like a celebratory Like maybe it's like He's like happy about it

He didn't sound very happy So with Blaney's good run today I think it's time for the Blaney fans Hop on out of the tub And let us brisco fans go in there It's been a long hard season I'm just sick of it Yeah it's our time in the tub

Hello This is a message to all the Blanian fans. Can the Chase Elliott fans join you in the bathtub? No, I agree that it is probably going to be a bigger bathtub, but we will supply the beer if you can supply the bathtub. Thank you. Well, as a Tyler Reddick fan, we'd like to be drinking in a bathtub, but the rear tire changers probably f***ed that up too. What a s disgrace. That motherfucker-fitting should be working at Waffle House on Tuesday. I know who this is. I know who that was. Listen, we're going to need a pool at this point. The bad time is not big enough for all you miserable motherfuck because your driver's having a

pass. And we ain't talking. We're not talking like pool behind your house. We need like the YMCA pool. We need a big pool. No peeing in the pool either people. We might just need a lake. We might just need a lake.

We have one more call and it's from one of our best reaction theater callers who is finally rejoicing after being down early. this season. Go 12. Woo, boys! Ryan Land is a 20-23 NASCAR champion. And I don't know what the f***a of Menards is, but I'm about to go to one. Boys and Rochester can shove that watermelon up as a win a race. Who gives us? Boys!

They have done it! Woo! Go 12! And furthermore, before I put this hot tub on Marketplace on Facebook, y'all want to ask Christopher Bell if he wants it, because I give it to him. Go 12! Go 12. That's great. Go 12. That's it. That guy's been calling in for a couple months now. Yeah, a few months ago, he was down and out. I think that's my neighbor because I hear this going on like in the distance over the mountain. Wow. That's, yeah, I can fit in on this, dude. Give me the number. Text to them. Hey.

Hey, Casey, would you get them guys a dictionary so they can find a new big word? I am sick and tired of phenomenal. Phenomenal. If Freddy goes and takes this shit, it was phenomenal. So get them a dictionary so they can pick out a new big word. Thank you. On it. Dictionary. I need a cinnamon for phenomenal.

Cinnamon? Cinnamon, yeah. Yeah, I'd like to personally thank Mr. Clint Boyer for ruining my life. For the past 20 years, I've had my wife convinced that the best pit robes a short and wide one. And in one afternoon, Mr. Clint Boyer on Fox, the whole damn world heard him say the best one, long and narrow. So thanks a lot, Clinton. You know what I got to do?

You know what she wants? That's right. She wants a long, narrow pit road. So guess who's got to go see somebody tomorrow about that? Huh? I'm waiting on that $10,000 from Fox. You need to send it to me to help pay for what you did. So he doesn't...

Where do you find this? I don't see this. Call in a reaction theater. I've never heard every week. That is us. You can call it any time you want. I've legitimately never heard the girth of pit road about publicly.

now. Clint of all people is the guy. Clint's the guy should be bringing up the girth of pit road. Who brought it up. So Clint likes long and narrow. Clint's a long and narrow guy apparently. Okay.

Well, I mean, at least we know what he likes. Looking at me, you can assume that I'm not long and narrow. You're definitely short and wide. Freddie. You're not Clint Boyer's type. I'm just not Clint's kind of guy.

Freddy, you need better help. That's crazy. At least we all know what kind of pit road. Channel, what's your kind of pit road? I'm staying out of this. He's a long and narrow looking kind of guy. I'm staying out of this. Oh my gosh, we're getting fired.

It's by day off and I'm getting fired. I mean, how'd a fucking get fired your day off. Craig, geez. Oh, my God. I'm not a heart attack on the show. Well, at least everybody's got a pit road type now. We didn't know that before.

I just want to say right now, Tiff. I'm sorry. Casey, Casey, what's your pit road? Casey, what's your favorite pit road? I have, I can't hear anything. Casey, what kind of pit road do you like? Is it a dirt? No, you know.

Don't say it. I don't know what you're getting ready to say. Is Bristol going to be covered in? Yeah, wait. Do you like the one pit road or do you like the dual pit road? Is that I mean? Well, there's the front side and backside of Bristol, right? If you put under green, you only have to run the backside.

All right. I want to thank everybody for listening for the last five years. The Atlanta period was great. I mean, that was horrible. Why? What was wrong with it? You know exactly what was wrong with it. This show is going to take to edit.

We're not editing. Just leave it all in there. No, no. This has to have to be edited. If their mission hasn't signed his contract yet, they should probably read. Blake's like, what the fuck did I get to myself? He's not coming back.

I'm so sorry, Dunlop. I'm so sorry. We had a great start. I got a tip of my bye, Ty. Is that the last one, please? That's the last one. Thank God. So what's this only fans deal you're starting?

I don't know. Somebody suggested it on Reddit that I might. And we're off. We might be able to sell our... What would your measurements be? I don't know, but we're probably getting fired already. I got a 48, 42425. I don't even know what the measurements are.

Please, the complete opposite of that song. What are you? I don't know. Are you 5'3? I'm going to tell you something about them songs. When I was 18, 19 years old, I was singing, baby got back. And I didn't realize my anaconda was not a acondia. Okay, so now that I have a two daughters, I hear these songs from the 80s that I thought were very innocent, fun rap songs about my snake don't want none unless you got buns, hon. Now I realize that it's fucking soft.

rap song. I got news for you. Some of the your daughters sing and even your son, I don't know how. Like at least they bleep out most of the words, but there's some, I remember a couple years ago, there was some Cardi B stuff that they probably didn't need to ever hear. Yeah. Even now, you should give it. At least we knew it was dirty.

These songs that we grew up listening to they had like these innuendos in them. So, you know, 36, 24, 36. That's not. I thought that was, I thought that was the lottery numbers. I mean, what the So anyway, Martin Martin's one long narrow pit road.

Just keep on rolling at this point. I mean, we are riding around there for 16 laps trying to dry it off instead of just saying, hey guys, we're going to come down pit road, non-competitive pit stop. You're off two laps and you're back racing again. A dry box is definitely better than a wet box. Well, I don't think I agree with that. Oh, my God. I read one text messages, leave you to eat alone for 10 seconds.

I just think it would be easier to put on dry tires Yeah, I mean, there's nothing great about a long narrow Ores in a wet box Nothing worse than a long narrow wet pit road I mean, it's ridiculous I mean, changing wet tires and wet boxes That's hard You can't, it's not hard if it's dry box with dry tires

With five nuts You mean it's difficult Five of lug nuts Let me get this straight It's a lot of math, Freddie We should move on nuts wet box

I'm just bringing up a point by these tires and the boxes I'm just trying to follow and the rubber and the nuts the lug nuts just bringing a point out and baby Jesus this is where baby Jesus

came from you think Mary was a virgin just asking a biological question T.J. That's all. I'm great. Just a biological question. Sam mayor, huh? What's the next topic?

We covered it all. I think I bingo. This is where Sam Mayer got punched by this. Sam Mayer was giving people the finger. That's on that topic. Oh, is that a drive box? Oh, got to get cancer.

I can't. Thank you all for listening. It's been a great run. Yep, here we go again. Some dude, the timeline's going to say was driving down the highway home from work. Almost crashed by car laughing. I hope we don't cause any accidents.

I feel better. Okay, spot on. Innocent questions. That's all I asked. Spot on spot off. Sam mayor gives Ryan True X. Oh, God, you can't say that.

He gave him to bird. They're do funny. Sam there. And you said you want to quit, Brett? I love Bob Tocryth. He answers so many people's questions on Twitter. And no matter how many times they ask it. But I do have one question for you, Bob.

Does the DBC studio have lights? It has plenty of lights. these boob lights. What do you call them? Boob lights. Those are our boob lights. I didn't want to say it, but if you say it, then. They're Austin Power lights.

Yeah. Remember the scene where the girl comes out with machine gun boobies? Bob, we got those free with when Brett bought his box of, uh, front. I'll take a picture of those. So we can share that later. Yeah. So, yeah. And then there's other lights, but they're turned off.

Mm-hmm. So plenty of lights here at, uh, at the DVC studio. Is that the most frequently asked question you get? It is. It is. People enjoy it. The only issue I ever have with it is that sometimes when something's going on, people just fill my timeline with it. Then I don't see other people's kind of questions that you may really want to answer.

But it's been a fun thing. If there's one thing that I have learned from producing this show, it is that even when you think you have everything organized, there are still moments that will catch you by. surprise. Here's some of my favorite random miscellaneous moments from this season. So I have one idiot, but I have to preface it with, I respect all men and women in law enforcement. They have a thankless job and I appreciate them keeping us safe, but I got the dumbest ticket in my life in California this weekend. What did you get one for? Speedy. Unsafe left turn. And what I did was, I was coming up to race.

I come up. Yeah. Yeah. I should have said, do you shouldn't see all unsafe left turn that just made over here? Did you get in the race? I, uh, so I was coming up to a light that I needed to make a left at and I wasn't paying attention.

I said, I got to make a left here. So I stopped and there was a guy left me a hole. So I backed up a little bit, nosed into the turning lane. Nobody's even coming behind me. There's nobody behind me. So I just backed up. the guy let me in, nose into the turning lane. Again, like your race.

So I am, I am nosed in like 90% of my car probably. Light goes green. I make a left turn. Still no problem. Woo-woo. I'm like, he's like, I see the lights behind me. And I'm like, he's pulling me over? I doubt it.

So I just move over to like, I'm getting out of his way. Well, he follows me. I was like, guess he is pulling me over. He comes over to the window. He said, you know why I pulled you over? I said, no. I actually don't. Like normally I do.

Normally I'm speeding or doing something stupid. I didn't have a seatbelt on and freaking pageling. And I can't believe you got a ticket. I got a ticket for page. No, it's not a seatbelt. I drove by a cop in Pageland going 30 miles an hour and the guys pull me over. I saw you didn't have your seatbelt down.

I'm like, how? What are you serious? That's why you need to. Um, yeah. Uh, so.

Did you have it on? No, I didn't have it. Well, then you deserve it. Yeah. I mean, I was wrong.

So, uh, I should be a lot of tickets. I said to the guy. I said, I don't, he said, well, you made an unsafe left turn back there. And I said, what does that mean? and he said all four of your tires were not inside the turning lane before you turned left

and I said okay thank you very much and I he left and I thought I said the nick was riding on me and I said this thing probably gets on the rental car so it's probably got a weird license plate on it I don't know every time we go somewhere it's a jacked up license plate that's not from the state we're in I was like he's probably saw the license plate he probably just wants to check and make sure everything's good he's probably not going to write me a ticket for this I was wrong He wrote me a citation for unsafe left turn. And I would like California to maybe just break off the country and slide out in the Pacific Ocean.

Well, they said it was going to happen when I was a kid. I just, I was like, I was like, I for literally, honestly, I'm going to be honest, I really thought Brett started a prank show and somebody was with me. When the guy said, well, all four of your tires, I was like a pit stop. You know, like you got all your tires in the box. Yeah. Like I literally had to have everything but my right rear in there because I was nose like three quarters of the way.

You can hang the right rear. That's allowed. That's a loud NASCAR. Not in California. Don't do that. Okay. So anybody, if you're going to make a turn or go straight, just don't, don't mess with the lines. Or just don't go to California.

Just don't ever go to California. It'll be a good start. I told Nick, when you're driving in downtown L.A., that's, you do that more than. The funniest thing was, this guy pulls me over right on Figaro Boulevard where my hotel is. And so I leave a pull away driving straight down Figuero. I get a quarter mile down the road and we're like over by the Staples Center. and a guy is in the right lane, and I guess he wanted to go to the stable center,

which is on the left, and just drove straight across four lanes of traffic and hung the left right in front of me and almost wrecked me. And I'm like, I guess that's safe. But he had all four in before you got to. I was like, is this a moving violation with points?

I don't know. I have to look it up. I was really, I didn't really want to deal with it at that moment because I thought I was going to be a little upset. But so that cop, I don't understand the ticket. So maybe I'm the idiot.

Maybe he's the idiot. I'm not sure which one is. You know, I understand. Like people blow through stop signs a lot. Like don't even come to a complete stop and do that stuff. But, and I'd say left turn. I didn't even like, if I would have got that if I was like in the center lane and like said, oh, I got to go left here. Like that.

Like that's like. Yeah. Like if I just like, if I just like, oh, I got to make a left here and just go from the center and make it. I was like, I was in the like, like, whatever. I like downtown Austin. It's not bad. Yeah. I mean, there's a lot of good stuff to do.

It can be great for a block. And then the next block would be kind of sketch. Yeah. It's kind of weird. Any stories that we should. Are you aware of? No. No stories.

We saw a good band done one night. I forget where that was. The blind pig. Oh, yeah, that was fun. Good country band. I love country music. We went to a brothel, technically. We did.

All right. It's called the Midnight Cowboy. Y'all look it up. Speaking of brothels. Are we allowed to say this? It was a functioning brothel in like 2000. I know we're like totally banned from talking about football on here, but did you see what they offered Jimmy Garabolo?

I did see that. Did you see this? No, it's going to something to do with a brothel. Yes, the brothels offered him. If he signs a long-term deal in Vegas, they said free sex for life at the brothel. Wow. Is that the bunny ranch? I said, Andrew is freaking out and like putting.

He's cutting. He's cutting. I said, I said, it's a bunny ranch or what are going to need four teams out there in Vegas for all the guys who want to go out there and play. I don't know if we can talk about this on the show. Look, people are going to be sophomores in high school going, man, I just want to play for the Las Vegas Raiders. that's where I want to go. They're going to do a big practice squad out there.

thousand a year. This is all getting cut. This is a lot of people listen. And there's no other racing podcast that's going to talk about brothels. No, no, you're never going to find this anywhere. This is what makes DBC special. One of a kind content.

Yes. Got that right. Andrew's sweating. It's been fun. I don't know what I'm keeping in. You're keeping all of that. He's going to have to like go the mic and like, can I keep this? We have.

How did we get? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Go Raiders. Go Raiders. How did we even get to talk about brothels? It wasn't a real. We went to a brothel. We went to a brothel. Well, that's like last week.

It was no longer a functional. What a wild transition. What in the world? Yeah. She randomly talks about strippers. Brett, last week, like, we were not talking about anything. You're like, I went to a strip club. We were like, what?

I didn't get there. You said, speaking of strippers. And I was like, no one, no one mentioned a strip club. No one was talking about a stripper. Speaking of strippers. but nope we appreciate it thanks for coming thank you feel free to shout out and speaking of bachelor parties me and Josh have something else in common what is it nobody will ever figure out how me and Josh got our wives

Yeah, a legend. Charlotte. How come they haven't given us that erectile, a rectile dysfunction read yet? I don't know. I feel like we would do a phenomenal job with that one. Oh, I'm sorry. A marvelous job with that.

Freddy, it's a very, it's a very hard read. It's a very hard read. It is a hard read, I would imagine. I want to, I mean, maybe that's Gluck's next poll. is do you have erectile dysfunction? And listen to DBC. Because I want to know. Hopefully those people that are in the hot tub have it.

Actually, that's valid point. I mean, that hot tub is getting full. But could you imagine showing up at a hot tub with a bottle full of a rest of dysfunction medicine? No, we don't want to think about that. They'd be like fiends over that stuff. All right. Well, this show has taken a turn. You got the best idea I've ever had on this show.
