Men At Work Podcast - NASCAR RACE: Repo Men, Sewer Rats, and Office Romances

Episode Date: July 21, 2025

We were at Dover Speedway for the Monster Mile where we talked to a repo man with a death wish, a SiriusXM radio producer who started right before Opie & Anthony broke up, we learn how long it takes to get the smell of a sewer out of your hair, and a guy who has a dream job planning his work trips around NASCAR races. About Us: The Men At Work Podcast asks one question: What do you do for a living? After that the conversation flows from there. We've talked to substitute teachers, Bangladeshi t-shirt moguls, a real estate broker tight with LeBron James, and the Governor of Literal Pennsylvania. And we'll record anywhere. Random sidewalks during an eclipse, a furry convention, and more! Whether we like it or not, our jobs are most of our lives - might as well yap about it.

Welcome back to another episode of Men at Work. We are here at the Dover Motor Speedway, the Monster Mile, the Auto Trader Echo Park Automotive 400. Can we hear it, folks? See, the people are crazy today. They're lit up like a Christmas tree. Who are you most excited to see today? Jay Sallium.

Jay Sallium. Is Kyle Busch gonna make the playoff? Me too, dude, me too. Yeah, I also too yeah I also say the Kyle files are not out right now your Kyle file your Kyle file is he gonna is he gonna make the playoff oh dude he said he's on the outside looking in right now they're saying he's old he's old as shit he He's in his fry. Okay. All right cool cool The most delusional of delusional people are out today at Dover Motor Speedway who think that Kyle Bush will make the

Will make the puff guess who won last week tell me right now. No, you know, of course. I know yeah name somebody Chase Elliott. Yep, Shane van Ginsberg Shane van did he do it again change and get her? She's one toys in a row. Of course. I know that Kyle. I read up on this kind of stuff dude. I live eat and breathe NASCAR That's why it took me so long to get here because I was driving like I was in NASCAR. Yeah. Yeah Yeah, cool. God man. We were supposed to start an hour ago. Yeah, that's a tough one Oh god, it's it's anyone who's ever been to Dover will know there's one way in and one way out and it's not conducive to traffic But that's okay And I tried to put my big boy pants on, inspired by Kyle, where there's a long line

waiting to make a right into the speedway, and Kyle's like, just go ahead and just jam your car into those people's lives. And I was like, yeah, it's probably exactly right. And you know what, when you walk through life with a little bit of moxie, people accommodate you, because I put my blinker on, there was an old man behind me, threw his arms up, I put my hand up saying thanks,

and then he just let it happen. He wasn't nappy. I think I car cucked him. Wow. That's a car cuck. That happens to everybody in normal driving life. Speaking of NASCAR, you get car cucked and that's A-OK. That's kind of the NASCAR.

You think so? That is. Everyone gets car cucked in NASCAR when guys are shifting lanes and trying to get in front of other guys, trying to beat guys out of the pit. True, yeah. That's a good point. Everything? Yeah, but I mean, you're going so fast there's no point of cucking.

That doesn't even count. The guy who's sitting in the pit on the chair, it's the cuck chair. Yes, that's right. He's literally watching his guy get overtaken. It is a cuck position to have your driver have to get underneath his car and go like vroom vroom vroom and fix him up. That'd be like if you're watching the guy bang your wife and you gotta go over and give him like an ED pill.

Yeah. Keep getting him, get back out there. Get back out there. Extends. Shout out to Jimmy Johnson. Shout out to him, he's our new sponsor. Speaking of Cucks. Oh boy. Coldplay concert.

Dude. Which is like kind of ties into the show because it is a workplace incident. Yeah. Literally the craziest thing I've ever think I've seen. The craziest thing I think has taken the internet by storm in a while. It's the most pervasive thing.

It's like old, this is like 2010 type internet stuff. It's pretty cool that everybody's kind of in on while. It's the most pervasive thing that it's like old, this is like 2010 type internet stuff. It's pretty cool that everybody's kinda in on it. I will say to me, my only counterpoint was like, it'd be more of a breaking news story to find out that a CEO wasn't cheating on his wife. True, 100%. 100%, yeah, with the lady of the director of HR, the people, what do they call them?

The chief of the people. Yeah. I hate that title. Our voice in the corporation? Yeah, it just seems like you're just trying to market HR and make like, no, HR is actually really, really cool. This is the chief of the People. Yeah. I hate that title. Our voice. Our voice in the corporation. Yeah, it just seems like you're just trying to market HR and make like, no, HR is actually really, really cool. This is the chief of the people. This is not just the head of HR.

I didn't like that part. But it's all time. It's an all time story when the CEO is cheating with the head of HR. Resigned. Yeah, resigned yesterday. Jesus. Yeah, and then you go in on LinkedIn

and he's endorsing her and say she's got great people skills and she really knows how to bond and bring people together and everything. Great head. I wanna know who, I wanna know the woman next to them. The 32 year old director of HR who was next to them. I didn't like her. I didn't like her either.

Her big smile was a little too like, this is so funny. She's been sitting on a lie for literally months. Yes, but she's probably the friend who's so dumb. You know when like you have like something really negative happen to you and you have the friend that it doesn't process for them and then they just kinda like keep laughing about it and it makes you, and you have the friend that it doesn't process for them, and then they just kinda keep laughing about it, and it makes you angrier.

She feels like that friend, not realizing the gravity of the situation. Being like, oh my god, that's so funny, you guys aren't supposed to be together right now. It's one of the biggest concerts in the fucking planet. She's just smiling. The farewell tour. Chris Martin too, just calling it out.

Knewing right away. That guy knows the affair when he sees one. I was gonna say, tell Dakota Johnson that, dude. That's tough sledding for the brother bear at home. He saw that and he was like god. I wish But I mean the just the balls on the CEO it was at a work event Yeah, it seemed like it was in a suite was it a work event. I swear. I heard that there were other There were other co-workers around them. So like There's a lot of

But I feel like if you're a high level person and you're cheating, like to me I kind of assume like him and the wife must be like separated. Like they're like not actually together but they're still married. But it seems if he's getting fired for all this shit, although I think he's getting fired because he's banging and plowing.

I don't think it's because he cheated or like that he resigned. Sure, I mean I think that's what they can, they can definitely fall on their sword with that one. That's an easy one. Have you ever had, have you ever been like a part of this like your girlfriend I think every like has had someone in like the I Think well, it's it's I think it does happen at least in like my I worked a fucking Comcast

Oh my god, dude That was a breeding ground for cheating tons of wires getting plugged in where they're not supposed to be shut everywhere Yeah, it had to be happening, but I think it's not as I think the other thing that is underrated about this Is how hot both those people were that also made it more popular? She was good-looking. She's an attractive older woman. He was a handsome lad There's a fake picture rolling around of his of his wife Yes, like three of their kids who is like the girl in the picture is really fucking hot It's like all right. You're you're an idiot for cheating on that woman

Yeah, but then you learn who the real wife is you like I understand it that dog wife But you know definitely a for cheating on that woman. But then you learn who the real wife is, and you're like, okay, I understand it. Fat dog wife? Not fat dog wife. Shout out Jane Gillis. But, you know, definitely a homely wife. Shout out to our homely wives that watched the program. A good mother. Yeah, a great mother. Every pound is another ounce of love. She immediately took her last name off of Facebook.

Really now? Loved that move. That's good stuff. Left the comments wide open, which I love that move, too. But she's gotta hate him, so she's gotta be like, ch-ching like who cares. Second time he's uh, he's cheated.

Publicly? Uh, well that she knows about. Yeah, yeah the last one was actually at a Magic Dragons concert. Dude this is such a like a, this is where my mind goes, it's such a good publicity thing that I feel like Drake will do now to fly that guy's wife out to his concert and then throw her on the Jumbotron. Or usher, putting a little cherries in her mouth in Vegas. Chris Brown hump him.

Why is he allowed to do that? Why is he famous? Yeah. That woman will definitely be flown out. She might start a podcast, honestly. She should bring her to a Drake concert, put her on the Jumbotron, and make it look like the fucking thumbnail for a Blackborne video. Yeah. It was a really tough week for old guys trying to displace blood everywhere.

How do you mean? One guy was putting his little scientist into the head of HR's back during a Coldplay concert. And then the big dog, the commander in chief. Yai yai yai. Can't even get any blood to the heart because he's got a little vein deficiency in the old legs and stuff. He's got big fat lady legs. He's got lunch lady legs our president a commander-in-chief has lunch lady legs He's got to start wearing like compression socks if my president's wearing compression socks just fucking turn over the country to Israel Let's just be real for a second. That's unbelievable. No man in tube socks is gonna tell me how much I owe into access

I could promise you that Man with a life alert Fc files are real I can promise you that. I'm a man with a life alert. Yeah, dude. The Epstein files aren't real. That is all a hoax. Breaking news, the president is sick because he's existed for eight decades. No more eight decade presidents. Yeah, it's the best, man. We live in the greatest country in America.

We live in the greatest times in America that we can just make fun of everybody. Stephen Colbert is gone. Late night's officially dead. Which is like, that's a tough one to defend as kind of like a liberal guy where like, I don't want to mince words at all, okay? I defend it because I think it's a bad thing that the government's basically canceling

an opposition TV show, however. Wait, you think that's the case? Apparently, so this is what I've heard. He's losing 40 million a year, Matt. I believe everything I say from the PR teams. I totally agree, but from what I've heard, Paramount had a deal that had to get settled Yes, I dance right yes

Yeah, and they needed I think because it's such a big deal it needs like federal approval first to some extent Yeah, do J and stuff something yeah I think it's to that extent and I think the big Don was like Cancel Steven and they're like I fine and they canceled him because of that now I think that's wrong however Stephen Colbert fucking sucks He's so not funny anybody who grew up with them was like this guy is one of the funniest guys on TV Then he gets a CBS and just totally gets neutered and he just like full dork You're just not fun. Yes, like be the Stephen Colbert for this from the Daily Show

Yeah, we're like it was like, okay Maybe I didn't agree with everything you did but like you you had you had like factual evidence to back up everything Yeah, and you'd like did your you did your homework? He was John he was more John Stewart but you had factual evidence to back up everything. And you did your homework. He was more Jon Stewart. You know when you, in high school, the math teacher was like, I know you're cheating because you've gotta show your work,

and you didn't show your work, so they said, okay. That's copy. That's copy, right there. That's Stephen Colbert. Stephen Colbert went from guy who shows his work, the smartest girl in the class, to the fucking dumb guy drooling all over himself, having fucking syringes dancing on TV yeah that's crazy yeah brother I

bet you Pfizer's gonna have a word to say about this cancellation I bet you hear it over we would get some opinions on on Stephen Colbert I would imagine that to be true here's it here's a here's a counterpoint you can't go after your boss yeah you can't go after your boss. Yeah you can't go after your boss. You also can't fuck your boss HR lady. True 100%. Yeah. Everybody answers to somebody. That's right. I think that's true and I think the way we reconcile is we get Stephen Colbert and the head of CBS at a Coldplay concert on a Jumbotron caught in a romantic fling with one another. There you go. Rehash this thing

and restart this thing. Well I mean that's that's an insane one. It's been a it's been a busy week. They're fucking Trump and Epp. I don't even know the extent of what we can say until YouTube yells at us. But the Trump and the Epp stuff. Yeah. The bombshell from Wall Street Journal. Yeah, dude. Turn your boy letters so good. Crazy, dude. You look like a Civil War general. Oh, it has been a many moons since I have seen you, Jeffrey.

Here's Jeffrey. Every time I encounter a young 12 year old southern girl I think of you but dude Trump's defense Because apparently it was like a Birthday card and he drew a picture of a lady. He's like I don't draw I kind of know I gotta I need to say it cuz like yes, George Bush is probably the greatest Artist of our time sure former president. Well or maybe just the artist of our time. I wanna see how Trump's naked ladies are. How do you think Trump's naked ladies are?

I bet you it's good. Huge bosoms. 100%, well they, for whatever reason, I watch a lot of stuff on Fox and CNN, and they're very vividly describing the half circles that denoted her breasts, and both stations were very explicit about what the tits looked like. Did they release the pictures? No I haven't seen the picture

but they described it in detail because they don't have access. I don't think the Wall Street Journal has the picture or at least can't show it. That was like the the administration's contention is like show us the picture then if you have it. Yeah definitely show us the picture. Yeah no. Yeah 100% you gotta show us the picture. Did you hear the other description? No. He signed his name in cursive over a pussy to be pubes. This guy's a dog, dude. This guy's a dog.

That's crazy. Every time I think I'm out, he pulls me back in. Come on, no, dude. No, he does not. No, he does not. Signature as the pubes? When I heard that, I was like, very, that's, unfortunately, look, either side. That's an artiste.

That's a bipartisan issue. That's an artiste. That's a tasteful decision as an artiste. That's Salvador Dali. I thought the same thing, Kyle Beggin. Salvador Dani bipartisan issue, that's an artiste. That's a tasteful decision as an artiste. That's Salvador Dali. I thought the same thing Kyle Beggin. Salvador Dali. Salvador, I fucking shaved this dude. I had the same thought.

Oh my God. And when you think about the subtext of what the card is kind of about, you know like two potential, I don't know, we'll get it up. Yeah, yeah. You know. You know, the optics were weird,

saying I'd love to keep our secrets or something like that. Yeah, every day be another wonderful secret. Be another wonderful secret. Yeah. He could be money laundering. Yeah, every day be another wonderful secret. Be another wonderful secret. Yeah. He could be money laundering. Yeah, you know, they are a little less beautiful about that, you know? I mean, like you said, man, jam-packed week, and we're here at Dover,

and dude, NASCAR's getting sued to oblivion, they're trying to take Michael Jordan to court. Yeah, MJ's going to the rim once again, dude, he's got the tongue out in court. He lost this time, dude. Yeah, well now for now six and one in the finals now He well that actually helps Lebron's legacy. How does it's true legacy? That's true. Here we go drama in the racing world 2311 which I thought was 23 XI before I looked at a couple of the stuff 23 11 racing in front-row motorsports are Not racing as chartered teams for the first time this season. Chartered teams, basically like take a Rita's Water Race and have like a franchise location, a franchisee. That's basically what a charter is. It's like you're franchising the business and stuff.

So you're allowed to get the purse, you're allowed to get like maybe some of the TV rights deals. It's like owning a team, but NASCAR owns the charters. And so Front Row Motorsports and 2311 Racing was like, fuck you guys. You shouldn't be able to determine how much you're paying me, how much the purse pays me, when I'm shelling out all of the money for the racing team. You own the tracks.

That's what I didn't really understand. The whole point of a charter itself, which of the limited information I listened to about, I mean, it doesn't seem like it's, it's like the way you're describing it, it's almost like a franchising license. I get that, but it's like, way you're describing it, it's almost like a franchising license, I get that, but it's like, if NASCAR is not a compilation

of these teams and these drivers, then what is it? You're extending the rights to be what? To be a part of the thing that these people already are? Drivers, racers, teams? I didn't really, it didn't make sense to me. The more we dive into NASCAR, and we've only done two episodes so far, the more I'm like, it is definitely severed

down the middle where like if we were invited out here by Dover, Dover was like, hey, do you mind focusing on the fan experience and everything? Not even really the race. Oh god, we should have talked about all that at the beginning there, Jesus. No, it's really funny though, because the more you think about it,

you're thinking like you want everybody to be propped up and they're like, well no, because technically we own this land, we own this track, and NASCAR owns what they own on their end. Like, if Denny Hanlon wins today, like, Dover, that's awesome, but like, Dover doesn't really give a shit.

They care about like, tickets they sell, the fans own, the merch they sell, and all that shit. Because it seems like because there's so few, I guess, of these racetracks that they become more of destinations that people are willing to travel to, so if you get a good word Out what so far Dover is pretty sweet. It is pretty sick. It's it's it's a it's only a mile long We were a Pocono Poconos two and a half miles long is that right?

I feel like the I feel like the sight lines are gonna be really really good when we get in there be moving and grooving Too yeah, listen quick race too because it's only going a mile is that right? Yep. Pocono was two and a half. Oh Very intriguing very but now man the business of NASCAR the business sports man is so interesting Is that right? Yeah, Pocono was two and a half. Oh, very intriguing, very intriguing. But now, man, the business of NASCAR, the business of sports, man, is so interesting. Yeah, I mean, I was kinda, when I was listening to that video, I was trying to make like a counterpoint in my head

as a basketball guy. Yeah, I was too. Where I was like, what equivalency across sports can I find? To me, it's like basically if Adam Silver could decide if like the Sixers could be a team or not. True, 100%. That's how I read it. Yeah. And it's also with MJ.

It's the biggest face of your entire league. Sure. It's Jordan Brand. MJ and who else? Oh, Denny Hamlin. Denny Hamlin. Which is weird because Denny Hamlin races for another team but he co-owns his team with Michael Jordan.

Yeah, this seems like it's a, because NASCAR is not, what's it, 40 years old? NASCAR? Yeah. It's like 100 years old. It's sort of Because NASCAR is not super... What's it, 40 years old? NASCAR? Yeah. It's like 100 years old. I can't be sure. It started around like Moonshine era. What? Yeah.

Ah, damn. That's how NASCAR started. Sorry, NASCAR. Look, I'm here to learn. I'm here to learn through the fan experience. That's all. Wow, that's crazy. Well, they got to work out some of these ganks, dude.

Yeah. How was it getting in? Kyle, I think I'm... I was just done with GPS. A lot of times I'll say, look, I was running late, that was my bad. This one was... I'm telling you, I was sabotaged. I'm pissed.

I know you are, and I felt it through the phone, and you're totally rightfully in your right place. You forgot the chairs? If anyone can see the chairs right now, that way I guess it's actually gonna be very funny, them sitting in my two Dami Bahama chairs. Yeah, it was pretty brutal timing, as I was looking at my car after taking forever to get here

and then seeing two lonely chairs staring back at me and going, oh, Kyle's gonna kick my fucking ass. I'm like a battered wife dude when you walked away to get the chairs I went to Vita. What's up dude? Yeah dude you wanna talk about? Yeah we've been waiting for people like you. Here you are big dog. How's it feel in there? Let's go. Usually you usually have a chair like us but we forgot two of them. Listen I don't mind a beach chair. Feels like you're on the beach right? Yeah exactly. Is there a Bethany or a Herbert or. Feels like you're on the beach, right? Yeah, exactly. Is there a Bethany or a Hoboth or something like that?

Yeah, exactly. What's your name? Damien. Damien, what do you do for a living? I repo people's cars. No. Oh, he's good. Oh my God.

You came to the Mecca. Yeah, right? I should have brought the tow truck, just drove through the parking lot. Yeah, who would you want to repo the most who's on the circuit today? Oh God, Bubba Wallace. Yeah, why Bubba Wallace? Can't stand him. the circuit today? Oh god, Bubba Wallace. Yeah, why Bubba Wallace?

Can't stand him. Yeah, why can't you stand Bubba Wallace? He's a crybaby. Yeah, why is he a crybaby? All he does is whine. OK, all right. It's never his fault. He's the best driver in the world. We were actually talking about that.

We were talking about the 2311 lawsuit and everything, because he's under the 2311 team and everything. So you're probably rooting for NASCAR. Yeah, you're like a NASCAR asset, dude. We're not possession cars that are fighting against the Federation. You're waiting for the Charter to be taken so you can be like, bubble walls,

your car's coming with me, baby. Yep, exactly. Wow, no kidding. Repo cars. Have you ever had any run-ins with the people while you're repoing and they kinda tussle back at you? Oh, all the time. I've had people pull guns, shoot at the tow truck.

Shoot at the tow truck? Yep. Pulling guns is one thing. Shooting is crazy. Shooting was another thing. He blew out the windshield with a shotgun at the tow truck? Yep. Pulling guns is one thing. Shootin' is crazy. Shooting was another thing. He blew out the windshield with a shotgun. Damn it. Jesus Christ.

Those other things aren't bullproof, I guess. No. You guys should really have, if there's anyone who should have like cops, yeah, probably. Yeah. But definitely tow truck drivers should have bullproof. Tow trucks should also be Brinks trucks at the same time. Yeah.

That's crazy, dude. Oh my God. How long have you been doing this? About seven years now. Good money? Pay my bills. Pay your bills? Yeah, yeah. Pay my bills, I got you been doing this? About seven years now good money Pay my bills Pay my bills. I got my own race car. So really you did your own race car I do do you race for a living or race win on the weekends? I Try to race as much as I can I race every Wednesday and then what do you reset?

Schellhammer Speedway in Leesport, Pennsylvania. Yeah, and then on the weekends when I can, I travel to different tracks. I'll go to... You're going to Gilbertsville? Yep. That one up there, I used to go there when I was younger. Grandview. Grandview, there you go. Yep, yep.

You had not much safety over there. No. Car goes up the wall, you're kind of fucked. Yeah, I've never, I'm not too familiar with like the amateur space and racing. Do you guys like wear gear or you just kind of like throw the trucker hat and let it rip? Oh yeah, I have a helmet, a Hans device, a three layer fire suit.

Now let me ask you this, you ever thrown a helmet out of a car? No, I haven't. Would you like to throw a helmet out of the car? I saw Tony Stewart do it one time, it was kind of cool. I've been tempted. Yeah? Threw a steering wheel one time. Okay.

So, you know, threw something at least. Did it make impact? Oh god. Now you're taking me back. It's been a few years since I've done that. I'll ask you this. Why'd you throw the steering wheel? I probably just got stuffed in the wall. Yeah. So, you know. Rubbing his racing. That's what my tattoo says. Unless you're the one going to the wall, then you're going to the steering wheel into the front rear windshield. I like that. Holy shit, so tow truck.

So you got into it seven years ago. Why did you get into it? I had my own car repossessed. No fuck. Wow dude. So you guys, you know how you see on the streets and it's like the fraternal brotherhood, the FOP and stuff? And the cops aren't supposed to pull over the guys

with the FOP license plates? Is there like a brotherhood of tow-tow drivers? You give them a little... Usually give them a little wave, but yeah, we repo guys versus regular toe guys We don't generally wave at each other sure Rivalry yeah, I wouldn't say that at all. What's the difference between a repo guy and a tow truck driver? Toe truck drivers look at themselves as brothers, stuff like that. Okay. And you guys? Repo guys. It's a business. Yeah. We're all business. No friends in the repo industry. Exactly. So is there a lot of a difference between repo and tow trucks?

Oh, absolutely. What's the main difference? Well, I guess like... So it's basically, from my understanding, I think it's like the repo is basically you're not paying your bills, we're coming to get your car, tow truck is like you're parked illegally, you're fucked. Exactly. Got it, got it. So, and believe it or not, I've done both. I've done private property in Pounds as well for regular towing companies.

Those people are way worse than people who I repo because they think they're allowed to be parked there and they're not. So they think, you know, there's no no problem you're taking my car for no reason. Yeah. Meanwhile most people know that their car is up for repo. Right. So a lot of them are like ah it's no big deal I knew it was coming. Yeah that's just right. Yeah that's kind of nice like a beating up. It's not like the TV shows made it out to be I could tell you that much. Yeah what are your thoughts on that? So it TV shows are all fake yeah yeah so that like I said I got I had my car repo'd and then all the TV shows came out and that's when I was like you know

what I kind of want to do that that looks like fun. Yeah did you now now be honest with me did you have did you deserve to have your car repo'd? Oh absolutely I just stopped paying for it. I was young and dumb and bought a car I couldn't afford. So, I mean, it was coming sooner or later. I just left the car parked in the back. That could be like a fair plea deal though. If they come to get your car and you're like, fuck it, I'll work for you, can I keep it?

Yeah, that's fine. I should have tried that. Yeah, until you paid off. That'd be awesome. Yeah, exactly. That's awesome. I have one more for you. Oh, so when you repo, where do you mostly work? Like big city or are you more just around towns and stuff? Um, our company is based out of the Philly area.

Okay. I cover everywhere from like Redding all the way up to Hazelton. Okay. So I, you know. Are you seeing some shit? Allen I- Hazelton was probably where they had the shotgun. No, the shotgun was thinking the backwoods of Hamburg area. Give us a shotgun story. So like someone calls in, you pull up, like did you know anything about a background on this guy?

How much he's been waiting like to miss tickets or miss payments? So, I just, it was like a mile back through the woods. I backed up the whole way, saw the guy's truck, grabbed his truck. What kind of truck we talking? It was a old rusted out Chevy pickup truck. Ah, okay.

Dude, how do you even have a payment on it? Yeah, right, you should have already had this paid off. Yeah, exactly. So I back up, I grab it, and he meets me halfway down the driveway like half mile back down So we kind of flanked you from around did he kind of like he kind of went like a little green beret little Marines and stuff. Yeah, he jumped out in front of me pointed the shot. I thought you're all scoffery, didn't you? Yeah, exactly and nope. He jumped out pointed the shotgun and shot and I ran him right over

Whoa, yeah, no way did I stopped down at the bottom of the driveway, called the cops. Now are you clemency, like you can't be held liable for just running some dude over? You're defending yourself. At that point it was self-defense. So, and even the judge said that in court because the guy wanted to sue me as well.

Yeah, yeah, sure. And the judge goes, are you kidding me? That's self-defense. You shot at him. You tried to kill Yeah, are we talking like a clean break of the window and everything? Yeah, that's in shatter the windshield Like pellets and stuff in the in the how close are we talking to you? Like did it go in like you're the back of your seat and stuff or nothing? Nothing really hit the inside of the truck but glass but yeah, it just hit the windshield and shattered it Jesus did did you think about getting out of the repo business at that? No, did you have work the next day? I did

Oh my god Work never stops things don't scare sometimes it stops for a little bit Things don't scare me Yeah Do they have like you know how like sometimes when like you're on the force for like police and stuff, like if you shoot the gun, you got to go to like a little counseling and stuff. Right. I was like being shot at counseling in the repo business.

Nope, nope, nope. It's got a six pack of Miller Lite in it. There you go. I love it. Wow. Speaking of that, you got some? No, I wish. I wish you deserved it, man.

I brought a motorcycle today. I couldn't carry no alcohol with me. Oh, really? Yeah, I wasn't thinking. There's going to be, just go to tailgate, they'll have a bunch sitting around. Yeah, exactly. What's your time? What's your usual call to pick up?

I work anywhere between like 5pm and 3am. No, but like if I'm saying, hey, you got to get this guy, you got to get this guy, he hasn't been paying his bills in two months. They call you up, how fast do you have to get over there? There's no such thing. Okay. So they send us the order and I get to it when I get to it, I find it when I find it. Right.

Repo, it- Find it. So you're kind of like a, you're Carmen San Diego. Listen, I'll add people on Facebook, or not on Facebook, I'll look people up on Facebook, find out where they work. If they have their Snapchat on Facebook, I'll look people up on Facebook, find out where they work. If they have their Snapchat on Facebook, I'll add their Snapchat to see if they have their location on.

Holy shit, that's genius, dude. Oh my God. I do all sorts of stuff. What else have you done? DMs, I'm sure. Have you gotten into TikTok yet? I haven't done TikTok. I have messaged people because there's people that I know

whose cars I repoed. And eventually- That's gotta be an awkward Thanksgiving. Eventually after not finding it for a while, I'll just message them and beg, yo, where the hell's your car? Yeah. Because I'm tired of looking for it. Right. So, and I've gotten a few like that. They chirp you back though. Yeah. Oh yeah. It's, it's crazy. Some of them are like, oh here it's at this shop. Just go and get it. So I, I've repilled my parents' neighbor's car. I've repilled one of my neighbor's cars.

So the guys that tell you it's at the shop, are they just sitting there with a shotgun when you get there? No, no, no, no. Nope. I usually have to go into the shop, find out if there's fees, get the bank to pay the fees,

and then I can take the car. So some guys play ball. Yeah, yep. All right. So there's some people that put it in their friend's garage at their friend's house and then make up a fake bill for storage that the bank has to pay in order to get the car.

Just so they can get money out of the bank. Some people play ball. Sure, okay. Wow. So wait, that whole repoing friend's parents' cars. The next time you see the friend, is that an awkward conversation? You got hit with like can I have a ride home?

Yeah my dad is an asshole he didn't pay the bills. I haven't had any problems yet I haven't lost any friends. Okay. So one girl I repoed her car from her work then I bought her house from her. Jesus Christ dude. And she gave me a deal on the house so you know there was no hard feelings there. Your customer service must be one of, dude. And she gave me a deal on the house, so you know, there was no hard feelings there. Your customer service must be one of one, dude. It must be.

I kind of, I actually, I like you. Like we've only been talking for like 10 minutes. If you repo'd my car, I'd be like, I did deserve it. Totally, yeah, you have an energy where I'd be like, you know what, just take it, dude, honestly keep it. People come out trying to fight all the time, and you know, I understand people are mad right away. I give them two minutes, three minutes to cool down and they want to cool down

I'll show them, you know, what kind of asshole I can be sure I'll just get in my tow truck and I'll just leave Yeah, you know, it's hey you want to get your stuff out now You want to calm down be cool and they usually calm down get their stuff out. They don't okay Come get your stuff out at the yard. The yard's an hour and a half away Yeah, get in tow truck and I leave. That's a good selling point. What's your favorite story? Probably one at a Walmart parking lot. Yeah.

I watched a lady get out of her car. I grabbed her car. I was hooking it up. And she must have forgot her wallet or something, came back out. Well, she started throwing a fit and calling me all names in the book. So I just started driving around her in circles till I left. I made a scene, I made an absolute scene. You went the monster mile around her. Yep.

Oh my God, dude. I made an absolute scene, so everybody knew what was going on. Yeah, make her look bad. Good, dude, the embarrassment still works. Yep, exactly. I love you, dude. Dude, you are the fucking man.

You're the man. Thank you so much. Have fun tonight. Thank you, we'll do. If we see you in there, we'll get you a beer, all right? Sounds good, appreciate it. All right, thank you so Yep, exactly. I love you dude. Dude, you are the fucking man. You're the man. Thank you so much. You guys are great. Have fun tonight. Thank you. If we see you in there, we'll get you a beer, alright? Sounds good, appreciate it. Alright, thank you so much, man. See ya, brother. Oh, what a fucking legend that guy is. Dude, that guy fucking ruled. If someone fucking drove a circle around me, I would... I would do unspeakable things. I think I would just sprint. I would just start sprinting away Furiously like an angry sprint and I'm also like out of shape so it wouldn't last that long But it would be about 10 seconds of a real angry sprint there. Have you been repo'd? Have a hand me down card, and of course, I'm gonna say this we'll get you on a second so I will say this one time I used to live in a place in Fairmount and it was a It was weird. It was my next door to me was an abandoned lot, but it did have a chain link fence,

and they would come back every couple months and just put some dumb shit in there. So we would park in front of there and stuff. But it would technically be a tow zone and everything. So I'm coming home from work one time, I park it, I think I'm walking the dog or something like that, and I hear outside the backing up of a tow truck. And I was like, fuck no, fuck no, fuck no.

Cause I've seen cars get towed from there before. I go outside, it's already up on the hook. And I'm like, dude, come on man, I'm here, I'm here, I'm here. He gave me some bullshit story like, I can't, it's already on the hook, I can't do it, everything. I'm like, but dude, just drop it. It'll be like our little secret. And everything goes, nah, there's cameras on the back

and everything, you can't do that. We can't do that. So I go, what do I need to do? He goes, you got $175 in cash? Like who the fuck carries $175 in cash? He's like, well that's how much it's gonna cost at the yard. So if you have $175 in cash, you can go. At this point it's like two o'clock in the afternoon.

I have a couple bars around me, but nothing that's open that has all the ATMs. Because who the fuck has an ATM anymore? So I'm going to like, I go to this one dingy-ass bar, you're only allowed to get increments of like 20s, but only up to $100. So I had to go there, then I had to race two blocks over to another place, get an ATM fee.

So I'm just, wha, I'm just collecting ATM fees like they're fucking Beanie Babies, and being like, get the fuck out of here. Dude, you're like at a video game level, you have to collect cash or the tow truck doesn't take your car. Go to this location and get $100. Oh, it was the most scummy fucking thing in the world. Did you give him the money? Yeah I gave him the money. Was he a dick about it or he's cool?

I mean the camera didn't really matter. Of course all of a sudden the cameras only cost $175 turning this camera off brother that's all. That footage would be deleted. Here look at the footage that was deleted. You want to come on sir? Cool. Cheers dude I love the shirt. Power. Oh man the socks too. Thank you appreciate it. My god what's on sir? Cool. Cheers dude, I love the shirt. Power. Oh man, the socks too. Thank you, appreciate it. My god, what's your name? My name is Lewis Johnson, how are you guys? Lewis Johnson. Full government on that. My god. What are you doing for a living? I am a comedic radio show producer for SiriusXM. Oh you? I produce a show called The Bonfire. Yeah, yeah. With DJ Okerson and Robert Kelly. Yeah, yeah. And formerly Dan Soder.

Formerly Dan Soder. Absolutely. Holy **** What are you? Are you a big race guy? I am not. This is my first race. Are you guys doing stuff with the bonfire here? Nope. Oh, you're just coming. I just came to hang with my boys. Good for you. Absolutely. Figured I'd wear my best American inspired attire. 100%. So, I'm here, chilling. How long you been producing? Um, I've been doing it for like eight or nine years. I started out with Opie and Anthony. Actually, Opie and Jimmy. Literally the time that I got in there, Anthony got fired.

Which is crazy. But yeah, I started doing that for a while. My wife hates me with Voss and Bonnie. And a couple of others. Oh, Race Wars with Sherrod Small. Chris Metzger and then I

kind of transitioned into doing the bonfire. So tell us about you know you're joining on you're still young in the field I'm guessing with Opie and Anthony like you're kind of new to the field. Absolutely yeah. The guy with his name on the masthead gets fired you get hired. What the hell was that? I got nothing to do with this. Sorry this happened. What were those first couple days like? You know what they were pretty cool. Everybody was on pins and needles. When I went to do my internship, I interned for the show first. And they were like, listen, Lewis, we saw on your application, it says black.

We just want to make sure you know what show you're getting into. We had some... I know. I know. I'm not doing any other show, although I love the other shows. No. Put me on with O&A, please. Or O&J at the time.

Right. O&J. I wasn't willing to do anything else. Nice, man. I respect the fuck out of that. That's awesome. That is incredible. I love the...

You produced for Rich Voss. I'm a comedian in Philly, and Rich Voss was one of the first comedians I opened for. And I was like a young new comic. I'd be doing it for like eight or nine months. And I get booked on the show. It's like 300 people. It's Soul Joles in Pottstown.

And he's just sitting in his truck. He did not come out of his truck, which you know, it was an outdoor show. I don't blame him. Back during the COVID. Yeah, during COVID. And the feature tells me, Hey, Rich wants to talk to you for a second

before you like, you bring him up. And I go to Rich's car and he was like, how, Rich wants to talk to you for a second before you bring him up. And I go to Rich's car, and he was like, how you doing? How tall are you? And I was like, six one. And he's like, he goes, look, I need you to call everyone in the audience a retard before I get on stage. And I was like, whatever you want me to do, I'll do it, dude. And he's like, don't actually do that dumb ass.

Here's my credits, and then he gave me his credits. But I'm sitting there like, I guess I gotta say it, dude. All right, here we go. That's hilarious. Show business, baby. He is the it, dude. All right, here we go. That's hilarious. Show business, baby. He is the man, dude. Rich Vols. Legends is the man.

So now you're with the Bonfire. Yes. So did it go from O&A, O&J to? All those little miniature shows. Yep. E-Rock, I don't know if you remember him from the show. He had a show, produced that, and then kinda just transitioned over to the Bonfire.

It's so funny, cause like, do you remember XM radio? Yeah. Way back. Yeah, so I remember those little Palm Pilot things they came out with. Yes. That was the first time I discovered Opie and Anthony. Yeah.

Cause my parents got me an XM radio, a satellite radio for Christmas, and I was like, who are these guys? Right. And it's crazy, cause like a lot of times, like even you know back then, it was like, you were a Stern guy, or you were an ONA guy, and stuff. And I was just ONA, ONA, ONA.

And then I fell off a little bit before Anthony got let go and stuff. But man, that is just such a crazy, the world's crazy that you were producing that stuff. So how's the bonfire going? I want to ask you this. Anybody that, who were you most starstruck by, guest wise on anyone?

Two people more recently. I got to interview Urkel, which was a big deal for me. Oh, that's shit. You know what I'm saying? Look, classic black American dad story. We don't get along. Uncle Phil from Fresh Prince was kind of like my dad. Carl Winslow from Family Matters was kind of like my dad.

So that almost felt like my family. You know what I'm saying? So meeting him and getting to ask him a couple questions was awesome. Yeah. Got to meet Dak Prescott. I'm a Cowboys fan. Got to interview him, you know. Got to meet Nick Foles after the Super Bowl, which was pretty awesome. Yeah. Is this something you're doing independently or is this through serious? Like you're saying you're interviewing Urkel. Is that something you're doing like in a podcast? I'm doing it as a producer as part of the Bond family. Got it. got it, got it.

Okay. So throw it over to you, you get to ask a couple questions. Couple questions, throw it in there, yeah. That's so sick. We don't let him talk. Yeah, yeah. Our producers. We try and then he mumbles his mouth and everything. It's like, God dang, he's from Delco.

So you gotta worry about that. Can I ask you guys a quick question about your journey as a podcast? Yeah, definitely. Tell me the beginning, why you... Yeah, so we started this podcast because like like unfortunately or fortunately like we all yap about our jobs. Like when you meet somebody it's like the first couple of things you ask like name, where you're from, hell yeah. If you're from Pennsylvania it's what high school you've been, what high school did you graduate from? Right. And then it's like oh what do

you do for a living? So that's why we just started a podcast. So we go to a bunch of places. We're at Pocono a couple weeks ago we just interviewed the governor of Pennsylvania. KC Rocket was on. We do a lot. We were fortunate enough to get a lot of guys who are headlining like Punchline and like Helium and stuff so they come on and everything and and we shoot the shit with people when we get to meet people like you. I love the concept. Yeah it's nice. I think there's too many podcasts where they're just bringing on other famous people to circle-jerk each other and we're like let's just talk to regular people. They're more interesting anyway. Absolutely right. Yeah and I

appreciate that. Yeah. yeah appreciate you having me on dude thanks for jumping on can I tell you one of my favorite things 100% anything working at this job I feel at the job that I work for I feel like it's a dream it's fun you know I'm saying Shane Gillis used to take the bus from Philly yep to New York to do our show. And watching this guy grow from what the beginning to, it's just a great, I love watching the journey. Know what I'm saying? And I wish the greatest for your journeys as well.

Watching Shane Gillis grow, he's okay with me saying this, but I was in Philly for a long period of time at the Children's Hospital. My kid was going through some things when he was first born and we had to get that fixed or whatever. and it would be literally like Shane helping me get weed Yeah, every day all day like Kyla from tires all these guys with just McCusker right come around. Hey, bro I got you like there. Yeah

But yeah, it's just been great watching comedians like that grow and be what they always wanted to be. We talk about it too, like the Raven Lounge, where they would perform a lot of them and stuff and you see the Raven Lounge now, Shane last week being on the Aspies, it's unbelievable. It's a dingy building and then from that to the Aspies and all the stuff he's doing. I mean, I'm kind of curious, you have a lot of background stuff that you've seen. When he was coming up, are you talking to like Big J behind the scenes and he's like, this dude is going to be, it was always kind of an understood thing?

As the producers of the show, you notice the people that come onto your show and you know, you come onto your show and they're just, they click with you, they're different. And he had so many awesome inside jokes with the fans that they would go around saying, there's this video, this viral video of an alligator and this dog chases the alligator off all the time, like three or four times, and then the last time the alligator snaps and grabs the dog

and pulls it into the water, and they're screaming, like, Pippa, no, Pippa, no. So he brought that video and meme to our show yeah and now anytime something like that happens on a nature thing our fans are like Pippa no you see in the comments oh that's awesome like it's he's done so many different things like that for us and then to watch this kid grow same thing Nate Bargatze same thing he was super young when he came on the show what an interesting that's kind of a cool thing too I heard heard Howard Stern in an interview

or somebody was relaying something Howard Stern said about the most successful shows are when you have those inside jokes with fans, because they feel like they're part of, they're in on something too. Hell yeah. And it's him doing organically, you probably notice that right away,

like Shane making a bit happen and then it becomes a part of your show and it's like, all right, this guy's, he knows what he's doing. He knows a lot of what he's doing. What are you most looking forward to see today? Honestly, I'm looking forward to a good race and I've been briefed by my two amazing white friends here about How short their track is and how crazy it gets at the end?

And if you win you could possibly make the playoffs. Yep, things like that. So I'm amped up and excited Yeah, I've had nothing but great interactions today. Yeah, the the race fans are one-of-a-kind people. They are! Well shout out to you, man. Good luck with everything. Thank you guys for having me on. I love the Tommy Bahamachairs, by the way. Only the best for you guys. Only the best for our guests. I'm a huge SOTR podcast guy. SOTR podcast? SOTR. Oh yeah yeah yeah. So I listen to SOTR all the time and I know that he was like, he used to be on the bonfire and everything. And Robert Kelly, I mean, not Robert Kelly,

he was part of my childhood with Dane Cook on the not Warped tour. Whatever, the one with the super finger. But they did the HBO special. Yeah, what was that? With them on the bus. It was like way ahead of their time. I know, he knew what he was doing.

That's why he got so big. I mean, he was also a fucking murderer. Dane Cook, grossly underrated. Everyone tries to be a comedy snob like he wasn't the funniest guy I don't know. He's who he's a knuckleback of comedy. That's a great way to put it. Yeah. Yeah, like I like listen you can Photograph come on photograph is a great song every time look at this fucking photograph. Yeah, it's a picture of Jeffrey Epstein Wow, that was sick dude that guy is that we've had two of the nicest guys I've ever met in my entire life. Yeah, 100%. He's a part of a popular show too. A very popular show.

I had so many questions and I couldn't just... And I landed on like, was Shane good all the time? Yeah, that's the thing. I was like, this guy has access to so many popular comedians that are headlining around the entire country and my brain just went to Mosh, I was so pissed. I would have been so many thank God. Thank God. He knows what he's doing Yeah, he kind of was like, okay, I see you bumble idiots anyway Yeah, you guys have no idea what you're doing. Do you mind if I asked two questions? Like yes, what a producer is like Tell me about your journey. Why are you doing this?

Why are you doing something with such clear small amounts of skill? Yeah. Hey my man Kyle Bush such clear small amounts of skill. Hey my man, Kyle Busch. Some are saying he's not going to make the playoff. Beast. Kyle Busch. That's one of those ones where we bark at people and they look like scared and disappointed. Yeah, I don't like that.

Yeah. Yeah, right. Kyle Busch, you think he's going to win? I don't know. I hope so. Why are you? Come on, dude. He's my favorite. I don't know.

Why are you guys sitting at the table? What's up with the beach chairs? Fucking weird. B bumming us out. That's exactly what went through that guy's mind. You guys are sitting under a shadowy specter of the back of a raceway with beach chairs and you're screaming at strangers trying to spend time with their family. Some guys walk by, it's the first time he hasn't been drunk in three months and he's hanging out with his kids and it's just being like, Yo Kyle Busch, it's Puddy! Okay, come on dude, stop.

Kyle literally had to put in an off day three months ago. This guy's got one weekend with his kids a month and it's Kyle just telling him he's chubby. Kyle Busch sucks dude, he's not gonna make the fucking playoffs this last year ever. You wanna talk about the goal play thing? Hey Stud, yo big guy. How are ya? Gonna hop on for five minutes, talk about the goal play thing? Yeah. Hey, Stud. Yo, big guy. How are you? Gonna hop on for five minutes,

What kind of construction? Pipe work. Oh, a little pipe fitter. Yes, no, not that far. Is there a difference? So like, we're in a non-union company. Yeah, so we just do public stuff like big storm runs and like sewer and stuff like that.

Oh, so you're down in the dirty. Well, yeah, some days. You're down with literally the shit. Yes, sir. Oh, is that? OK, got it, got it, got it. Like, you know how sometimes like swimmers, they'll just do years of like swimming practice and stuff,

so they'll start to smell like chlorine. Yeah. Do you just start to smell like dew? Eventually, yeah, you start smelling like water and shit. Do you have a wife? Do you have a kid? Do you have a girlfriend? Just a girlfriend, yeah. What does she think about it?

Normally, I clean up the mess pretty quick before before anything comes about How long is it? How long is a natural shower for like a guy who's working in the sewers all day you fucking Ninja Turtle? I mean if you want to be real thorough It takes all night. It takes all night. It takes all night? No. It's gotta be brutal. No, it's like 45 minutes maybe.

I don't know. You get everything. You're the dude king. You tell me. I mean, it gets in your hair. I mean, you see my hair, right? It's like a brush that just soaks it up. Do you think that actually makes your hair stronger?

Okay. Wait, well, am I, oh, so that was a step too far? That was beautiful. That was a step too far? That was a wonderful expert class. I was a guy who grew up in the Bush administration. I remember watching the news. I hear you.

Anyway, how'd you get into the dude? Just, uh, working construction in general. I started out doing dirt work and whatnot, like just laboring. Yeah. First it was dirt and then I thought, oh, that's's not smelly enough yeah it's all about the smell factor I hear you exactly that's strong yeah but did you have like a family member in that line of work that kind of put you on to it no it was um no I mean not just a question I'm just trying to not do it I'm just one with the one with the

Okay, so like...

But, just trying to stay busy, stay physical, I guess, cause I... I don't know, I don't... I'm not a... It's hard for me to like, stay out of doing like, labor stuff. As much as I hate it, like, it's a love-gate relationship. Like you couldn't have a desk job, couldn't be looking at your computer all day.

You're a fucking Marine, nothing phases you. Yeah. I've been watching on YouTube the Budge training. Yeah, those guys are tough, I'll tell you what. That's not serious. What's that? Navy SEALs, right? Yeah, it's their school to get in.

There was this documentary film back in 2000 and it was basically those guys going through the first two weeks and then they had this thing called Hell Week. Yeah, okay. And it's just the craziest guys going through the first two weeks, and they had this thing called hell week Yeah, and it's just like it's just the craziest stuff. They start with like 83 guys Maybe like 15 make it through no sure thing Oh, yeah, I'm only episode four and already like 40 people have left. I told you down there waterboarding you oh my god No push-ups. They're just guys just spray you with a hose

One of the guys just spraying you with a hose. Too fast, they're too fast. Yeah. Faster, faster, faster, faster, faster. How are you?

Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Damn, dude, that's so crazy, man. We've met some interesting fricking people. Yeah. Just been pulling random people off the- Yeah, we met Damn, dude, that's so crazy, man. We've got some interesting freaking people. Just been pulling random people off the... Yeah, we met a repo guy. Met a guy who's a producer on the Bonfire, a radio show up in New York. Oh, man.

Now a guy who just literally is in the thick of it. Yeah, in the shit. Damn, dude. What's your favorite story? Nothing, like nothing? Go ahead. I don't have anything good to say. Okay, ahead. I don't have anything. Okay, good. I don't even know man. It just kind of like. How are our sewer systems? Yeah.

Actually in Maryland we were doing uh, oh what was it? We were running water line for them and the guy running the job, I don't want to like be too specific, but like they were, the guy running the job basically came up to us and apparently they found out that the sewer was running into the storm line. That's not good. Well it was, so like storm is like where your water runoff goes. Like when it rains, everything washes down into it and it washes out to the river or whatever. Sewers, kind of self-explanatory.

But somehow, I mean, it was in like Baltimore, Baltimore. So like there was apartment buildings and like businesses and stuff like that. But there was a few spots where like it It was in a river that should not be Yeah, it was in a stream it should not have been but I feel like that's anywhere So like it's not like ground like to the average person who doesn't work construction that sounds like really bad And it is but like you'd be surprised just a couple guys like we're up a Philly guy

So like we this thing called the Schuylkill River yeah and it's basically got like low grade plutonium nuclear waste in it so okay yeah you know like so actually shit would actually be probably like that would like actually yeah we probably be able to swim in it. Same for like Susquehanna you know I don't know if you heard much about the Susquehanna over Harrisburg area it's not the not the greatest but I mean that's any again that's like anywhere like you're gonna have something. At least it's not Flint Michigan. Like I've always thought about this like we're basically ruining like not ruining I mean I have a very limited understanding but like we have these beautiful rivers and these beautiful waterways across the country and it seems like their main purpose in a lot of ways is to transport shit or like extra water Is there any alternative that has ever been discussed? That's like a non water based drainage thing for your shit and piss

They'll teleport it Subjected out in the space I think we should shoot our shit to space. I think that is absolutely a viable option Nobody's going to complain. No aliens are going to come. That's just something new. Yeah, exactly. A black hole? I mean, that's what's going to happen is we'll have angry aliens coming with signs and pickets.

Yeah, please cover your shit. And there'll be a shit meteor. No more spreading it out there. This is the poopy race. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It'll be a Joe Dirt movie. And it'll just be a shit meteor and it'll take out New York City. Yes.

I wonder what his, the fetish his girlfriend must have. What's up, guys? Yeah, hop on. So I go to probably 16 races a year. Why?

Because I do business all over the country. I do warehouses. Okay. Tilt do warehouses, total warehouse distribution centers. Nice. So I was down in Atlanta working. Sweet. I went to the Atlanta race. Chase Elliott won. It was awesome race. Awesome. Yeah. Yeah. I was in Texas last year, last ride for the Hooters car, doing work in Texas at the airport. Hooters car. Chase Elliott wins that race. How about that? So now you're here. And I go to Daytona every year. I'll be in Daytona in August for the Coke 0400. Watkins Glen on August the 10th.

So when you do business like I do, construction, you know, okay, Kansas is running this weekend. I think I got to do something Kansas. Nice. That's the dream right there. That is an incredible setup. I gotta I got to do something Kansas. Yeah. Yeah, that's the dream That is an incredible setup. I gotta say just listening to you through the headphones You sound like you should be calling a baseball game right now. You got a real baseball announcer voice So a long time ago when I was in college talking back in the late 80s sure We used to have a our own radio station where we did metal Mondays, okay So back then it was Twisted Sister, Anthrax, Metallica,

you know, Slayer, all the bands. So every Monday we did a radio station show from six to midnight. Okay. We had such a following for the radio show, it was ridiculous. Yeah. Nice. So we didn't have a setup like this,

but when we left college and we would go to concerts, everybody would be like, you're the Metal Monday guys. Just from your voice, because I can't see you, I guess. Yeah, yeah, yeah, the Metal Monday guys. It's a distinct, give me, give me like a, coming up next, Anthrax, stay tuned. Ah, well you got it, coming up next,

we have Slayer, Pantera. Now you go to days like, oh, we should add a radio show for Tool. Ooh. Yeah. We got a metal block coming up. Back in the day you know our big thing was you know MTV. Every Saturday night they had metal Saturday night all videos we would get together party and just watch videos all night long. I'm assuming you're a big metalhead were you any concerts any that stuck out when you were out my scene my best concert ever when I was younger

Was seeing Judas Priest. Oh, yeah, Rob Halford coming out on a Harley on stage was unbelievable Of course Iron Maiden their setup ridiculous the power slave tour insane Yeah, and you know you go back to when they started all these concerts and you know the big following that they had. I mean it was over 100,000 people at stadiums. It was crazy. Sometimes I watch the Metallica Russia video when I'm drunk. It's awesome. It's the best. Awesome. That still holds up. Just Apache helicopters flying 15 feet over the crowd. The soldiers that are working it, they took their helmets off, their shirts off, and they're starting to go nuts in the crowd. It's the coolest thing in the world. Seeing Ozzy Osbourne back in the day was really good. What did you think of the farewell Sabbath?

The farewell Sabbath, you know, he did what he could do. Everybody following up to the opening act was amazing. But what a great way to close out Black Sabbath. Yeah. You know there's a rumor that Maddie's a Jersey boy. There's a rumor that one of the Black Sabbath's first concerts ever and I could get this wrong but I think it was at Gloucester. In Gloucester. Gloucester University which I think became Stockton. Yeah okay yeah that would be it was probably Glassboro State. Glassboro State. And then became Rowan. Yeah, that would be it was probably glassboro state that's for a state and then became rowing no shit Well, yeah, that's a bad something. I didn't know about that. Yeah How's the new wave metal you like it, you know It's not that I'm into it. I mean so if you go to new wave metal you go through the 90s through grunge

Allison Chains days of the new Nirvana all that Everybody still listens to Allison Chains, Days of the New, Nirvana, all that. Everybody still listens to Alice in Chains. They're awesome, but there's nothing I can say as far as new metal that I'm following. Once we got out of the 90s, early 2000s, Three Days Grace, Breaking Benjamin, I'm friends with all the band, I did a lot of work for them. Yeah, yeah. One of my favorites growing up. How about that? friends with all the band. I did a lot of work for them. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, my favorite. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. So they had he had a house up at Harvey's Lake and this is a true story. He married one of the twins, but both of

the twins lived with him. Nice. Yes. Two for one deal. Yes. This is the lead singer. Yes. Yeah. He's got the voice for that. singer The diary of Jane and I Did a studio for him at his house? What was it saturate they recorded but these guys I mean Aaron? Marka plaski all these guys Chad, you know and I still Talk to him, but my best guy was Chris like that Chris like cap was the first drummer for breaking Ben Okay, he came from strangersangers with Candy, which became Lifer. Yes, that's a good name. I like that.

These guys were good. And Chris is a big NASCAR fan. So now you look back at the good time we had, but we were at Pocono, so Chris was his wife and his three kids. He's got two daughters, twins, and a son, all big NASCAR fans. You never would have thought of it. How about that? And they all say, John, you got this huge tailgate, we're coming to your tailgate. Well, come on up. And they all join me. Oh my God. Yeah. We're talking, oh my God, we're talking 20 years ago. Yeah. And we were just hanging out partying and I laughed at all these guys when they got married and

they're having kids. Well, my kids are getting older and now I got grandkids. So you guys are gonna go through what I went through, you know. But it's such a good time, NASCAR's a good time, everybody's here to have fun, it's a blast. And you bring your own beer in. Oh god yeah. It's the best part. Yeah. Except for unless you go to Circuit of the Americans down in Austin.

They don't let you take their own beer in. Cross them off the list. Yeah, cross them off the list. I went and learned my lesson there. We're not going to the warehouse down there. Because that's more or less a Formula One track. That's what that is. Very fair. So you said you're in warehouses?

Yes. I do construction. I've been working for a company now for 38 years. You just selling? Nope. What I do is they pick out an area. I'll go and check out the buildings. I'll meet with developers and I'll put together a package. I'll give them a budgetary number and say hey, this is what we're gonna do. And we're gonna. You're a land man. A little bit.

Yeah. A little bit of everything, you know. When you're in the field doing a building from ground up, footers, structure, steel. You know how to figure it all out. And you know when somebody's gonna BS you. And you gotta always come in under budget, remember that. Okay.

When you're doing a job, you don't wanna go over budget. You always wanna come in under budget. Tell my girlfriend that baby. Oh yeah. It's ruining my life. It's always about the dollar signs, that's what makes ya. You always wanna come in under budget. Okay, all right, so what's that?

Over sell, under promise, over deliver? Yeah, so you come in a budget, let's say you're gonna come in a budget of 24 million to do a building. And you do it at 18, well guess what you come out like a rising star. Yeah. Yeah. So you know I haven't missed my budget I always come in under budget but I'm getting tired of doing it. I'm getting tired of doing it. I don't blame you. And there's gonna be a day when I retire that I'll hit every race on a circuit. Good. Every race. Which one is useful to check off? Uh, I haven't been to Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

Okay. I've been to Fontana. Mike's been to Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Oh yeah, Mike. That's on my list. I haven't been to Nashville. Chicago Road course, I haven't been there. Loudon, New Hampshire. You know, everything on the East Coast. Yeah, I've been to those tracks.

And you know, I'll tell you, honestly guys, Dover's a great track. But Atlanta Motor, but Atlanta Motor Speedway now since they reconfigured it off the chart Yeah, is that right off the chart? Competition the way these guys race on pins and needles are so close to 100 speeds are going wide open. It is amazing We never been to the monster mile. What do we what should we be expected very loud? Yeah, very loud Okay, we got that a Pocono's little Yeah, cuz it was like Pocono they went by yeah, that was loud. Yeah, they would go around. Yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah Dovers once if they go

Caution free for a long period of time and the whole field spun out around the track. The noise doesn't stop at all Okay, no, so if you have a headset and you can listen on a scanner and listen to the drivers, it helps. Yeah. Earplugs don't do shit. Yeah. That's what it seems like. Not here it's loud.

This is like, you know, there's certain tracks like this. This is loud. Bristol's very loud. Yeah. You know, not so much Martinsville because Martinsville more wide open. The grandstands aren't so high. Sure. But the smaller tracks are loud, but you know, every track you go to is loud.

But Talladega is like a freight train going by. And then you watch them go around and they come and it gets loud again. That's how it runs. Do you prefer that? No, you know, it doesn't matter to me. The noise doesn't matter to me because I'm always listening to drivers. OK. You know, I was a Harry Gant fan back in the early 80s. Harry Gant retires the Skoll car, goes to Kentrader. I was a Kentrader fan for the longest time. Kenny

retires, I go with Tony Stewart. I met Tony Stewart down in Charlotte. Tony Stewart, great guy. So then Tony Stewart retires and everybody's like, well John, who are you going to go with? I'm going to give Chase Elliott a shot. I like Bill Elliott, so I give Chase a shot. And Chase was great to watch great to you know listen to him He had a great spotter that they let go Eddie the Han was the guy to listen to on the radio Just listen to him and Phoenix when chase won the championship was worth every penny to be there to see it But now he's got this new spotter case And I met these guys down at

Daytona in the garage and they're all good guys but boy do I miss listening to Eddie. Eddie went to Josh Berry and then he left there he's with somebody else but he's just a great. I wore a shirt at Pocono one year that said I came to listen to Eddie DeHaan. How about that? I like that. My god dude. Hey you got chock full of stories. We'll let you get in there.
