Transmitting. We're back. Welcome to Monday show. Morning studio. Morning. All right, let's go. We're going to start this one a little different. I'm just going to ask you a simple question,

and then you can do your thing here. But at first, he's a producer of the videos. He's got four kids. Eddie, what would you say your favorite TV show is right now of all the TV shows? Oh, right now it's the White Lotus. Oh, yeah, season two, huh? I'm right in the middle of it. So, yeah, I'm loving it.

Here he is. Producer Ready, everybody. Hey, guys, I have a huge update. My Instagram account, we've been trying to get that blue check mark. Yeah, I've tried forever. I know. We've tried so hard. We've been just stressing about it.

You have not been trying. But what did they say? I'm not on the news enough. Well, somebody from the company called me yesterday and said, hey, I have them on the line. We think we can figure it out. There's one change you need to make to your account. Apparently, when I open Instagram, I just have my name Eddie.

Oh, that's why they can't find. So you can't verify an Eddie? So she said, just add your last name to it, and we think that we can get it verified. That's probably why you're not famous because you're just Eddie. I'm just Eddie. There's millions of Eddie's. And you don't have to be famous.

You just have to be somebody that somebody would want to impersonate. And you do get impersonated. Yeah. And I guess it's easy to impersonate an Eddie because it's just Eddie. Wow. Okay. So you, okay. I changed my,

I put my last name on there. So now I'm official. They said hopefully it works and I will get verified. Can't wait to get that blue check mark. That can't wait to get that blue check mark. Come on. That's a big deal. That is a big deal.

You should retire as soon as you get it. No, no, no. Leave your boots on the floor and walk off like wrestling. Wow. Okay. Lunchbox, your favorite TV show right now. The challenge is Challenge ride or dies, man. It is awesome.

That's not a new show. Here he is. Lunchbox, everybody. Go ahead, buddy. Guys, well, six months ago, there was a big storm that rolled through. A big old tree branch fell on my roof, left three holes. Is this an update too? Yeah, this is a huge update.

Two updates. Let's go. I was going to be on Amy's sister stupid TV show. They ghosted me, gave me the cold shoulder, never heard from them again. And so I finally did it. I called insurance and I said, hey, I got a tree branch that fell on my roof. I need to file an insurance claim. What are you like? It was the great storm of 2019.

And they're like, oh, no, what happened? I was like, yeah, about a week ago, a storm came through it. Oh, fraud, insurance fraud. Flag it. You're lying. Flag it. And they came out, the guy came out, and he's going to give me a, I'm supposed to be getting an estimate in the next couple days, how much it's going to cost to fix my roof. Daddy, daddy, it's warm in the house again.

Thank you. Ready for that? Yeah. I mean, so the tarps will be coming down. There's going to be work, construction. I mean, we may have to move. Move. I mean, while they construct, right?

They're just patching up a couple holes In the roof It's good that you're doing that though But I finally did it So there will be no TV show I mean Did your wife make you do it? Yep

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, right next up Amy What's your favorite TV show right now? Right now it's Yellowstone It is good right now, it is good Yeah It could go either way though

Right now Really? Well Bobby said he thought he jumped The shark I said it's definitely At a place now where it can jump the shark

Because now Costner's the governor of a state And so that's such a big change from how the show started, that it could either be tumbling downhill or it could give it another four seasons. And, you know, I know he's new to being governor or whatever, but he does a lot of standing around and just looking at land. And I'm like, he goes to his place and still just looks after. Really? All right, what is yours? Okay, so I thought that Bobby Bones and the Raging

Idiots were playing a festival. And it was a three-night festival. Which we've done before? Yeah, totally made sense. The headliner of the night y'all were playing was George Stry. This is a dream? No. Eddie posted it on Instagram. It was a whole flyer. And I was a little bit irritated at first. Like, is this the announcement?

Maybe, why would they not tell me? This is George Strait? I need to go to this. Oh. And then, I'm like, what is Rachel Fest? That was the name of the festival. And I'm like, who's Rachel? And I say it out loud to a friend that was with me.

And she said, oh. Bobby Day is playing Rachel Fest? Maybe. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And she said, oh, no. No, that's a thing that's going around on socials right now, where it takes your playlist and it creates your dream festival for you. Based on the songs you've listened to the most.

Yes. I think Pink Floyd was on there, too. I'm like, that's awesome. It's like Elvis. Elvis is doing Night 2. I mean, but all I saw was George Strait and Big Letters. And then Eddie sang like, oh my gosh, can't wait. Rachel Fest, 2022.

Let's go. Let's get that thing going. Let's go. Rachel sounds where I would say lit. Yeah, so some girl, Rachel posted it. And then Eddie reposted her and it got me. Rachel Fest, that sounds pretty good. That sounds awesome.

I think if it's a Spotify and Apple thing, right? They make that up. Yeah. That's pretty cool. Okay, my favorite TV show right now is peripheral. The finale was Friday. I love it. It's about a, I want to say this, it's about virtual reality.

At least you think it is. Like the Oculus? Yeah, it is. I mean, it's just a newer version of it. And going, I love it. It's on Amazon Prime, so that's it for me. Okay, here's my Mount Rushmore of gas station snacks. And I say this because we travel during the holiday and someone had asked,

hey, you're on the road. What is your, what is your mom? Mount Rushmore of gas station snacks. So I spent a lot of time with this. And I feel like it's important enough to share right now. Number one, the bag of Rolos. The bag. The bag.

The bag. You don't have to open the package of the stick. The bag that they're not all individually wrapped. Okay. I love a Rolo. One of the most underrated candies. Who doesn't love chocolate? Caramel.

Carmel's a little overrated. It is not. Rolos number one. Number two, funions. Now, I don't ever get run. I don't ever get rollos unless I'm driving on the road for some reason. Like, I guess they don't taste good to me when I'm driving my own town. But funions, same thing.

Never will buy funnions at the grocery store. But if I'm stopping at a gas station, for some reason, I got to have some funnions. That's number two. Number three, atomic fireballs. Oh, really? Yeah. I don't like hot stuff either, but I get the big real name brand ones if they're there. But if not, I'll get one of those little package for 99 cents.

Of the bag? Yes. Of like cinnamon fireballs, like the generic kind. So I get those and it keeps me like awake. I like those. It hurts my teeth though sometimes. And then finally, I love a chocolate pretzel. And in second layer, it would be the yogurt pretzels.

I don't like those as much. But I love a chocolate-cover pretzel. And even in the bag, they have different kind of chocolate of pretzels. Like Hershey's makes one. I love the chocolate and the sweet. And so that's usually dinner if I'm on the road. The salty sweet. I get all that.

All the food groups. That's my road food group. But isn't it weird that I don't even want a fun you never? unless I'm seven counties over and I'm like, you're not anchoring for a funnion. You're right about that though. Even if you're in the grocery store

and you see funny, you're like, no, I don't need that. But gas station, that's mine. It sounds like when you're on the road, you go back to, like, you change the sixth grader or something. The Hawaiian punch. You have a great boy. Atomic.

Fireball. That's it. That's how we're doing the show. We're starting it right now. Thank you very much. We got a big hour, not this hour, but next hour. Joey Legano is coming in. Yes.

Champ. champs here. Yeah, man. NASCAR. And so he's going to come in and sit with us for a while and talk. We're going to talk about fights and going fast. And I don't know. But here's the thing.

I don't know a whole lot about NASCAR, but Morgan number one does, who used to work on this show. Now she works with me another part. But she's massive NASCAR fan. So she's going to do the interview with me. So when I ask something like, do you pee in your suit that she's like, hey, this race, you know? Oh, good. It's the balance. It's the balance.

Hey, thanks for hanging out with us. It's time for the mailbag. email and we read it on the air. It's something we call Bobby's Mailbag. Hello, Bobby Bones. I know, you've raised three puppies and Amy has a doodle of some sort, but I got a question. My husband and I just got a 10-week-old mini golden doodle. What is that?

A golden duttle. A golden retriever with a doodle, but somehow... What was a doodle? A poodle. A poodle. Sorry, poodle. But a miniature poodle comes from. Minature, yeah.

And we're wondering if the show could give any. tips and tricks for raising and training puppies, especially in the winter months. We live in a apartment complex, and we're looking into group puppy training at a pet store because it's more affordable. I think it's a good effort, and it can be exhausting, but a little encouragement and advice would be appreciated. Thanks, Golden Doodle Holly. Well, here's my first bit of advice is that it's normal when you want to pull your hair out and you're having an emotional breakdown. That's normal because you have a puppy and they're very, very hard. It's also very hard if you're trying to crate train your dog to not use the bathroom in the house, which we did, to leave them

in the crate because they whine and you feel sad and that you're a new puppy. That's hard, but you got to do it. You got to be strong because being strong for them then is actually more love because of what they will get from it overall and later. So it's very hard. Puppies are very hard. As long as you know that going in, you're fine. You just have to have consistency with the puppy from whatever it is that you have to be consistent with your rules. You have to be consistent with if you're training them, making sure they get their rewards. So consistency and knowing that it's okay that you want to pull your hair out because that's kind of the agreement you sign when you get a puppy because they're very hard. Amy?

Well, eventually you'll get there to the other side and you won't even remember those hard days because we are, my doodles a rescue and she was she was an adult when we got her, but she was not potty trained because she was tied up outside for most of her life. and I was like, we have this adult dog that is not potty trained and was using the, I mean, it was the worst and I'm like, what have we done? And then finally, she caught on and we did some training with her,

but Bobby's right, consistency is key because I am not consistent and she's a hot mess. Still, yeah. But that's big case. But she's potty trained. And here's the other practical advice I would give you, have the pee cleaner, the spray. Yeah, urine be gone or something like that.

There's urine gone. Yeah. Get a few bottles of this. that and just have it because you will use it. And it's just going to happen. And there's going to be furniture that gets chewed. There's a be collateral damage in this. Yeah, what do you do with that? Like, they're chewing the furniture. Oh, I bought this stuff that tastes really hot. You order it's for dogs and you can spray it

on things. You don't want them to chew. And it's supposed to be a really bad taste in their mouth so they won't lick it. That's cool. Yeah, I didn't do that. Mostly, if I see Ella, because Ella, occasionally will chew on some bottom piece of furniture if she's really bored or it's just restless. And I'll just leave the room. And it'd be like, Caitlin is, you seen Heller? You act like you didn't see anything? Okay. I said what I said?

That's messed up, man. I said what I said? I'll never say it again. Good luck with the puppy. It's going to be hard, but it's going to be worth it. Thank you for emailing. Close it up. We've got your email and we read it on your air.

Now it's about to close. Bobby's mail back.

So Joey Legano coming up in just a few minutes, which is why we're going to do Amy's Pile early. Yes. I know it feels odd, but let's do it now. Here's Amy's Pile of Stories.

that game. No, I only used to watch the cool kids play the game. I never got invited. Oh. But I didn't watch the show. Number four. You watch this one, the bear. It's a good one. Yeah, the cooking show, yeah. Well, it's not a, yeah, the chef, the fictional show about a chef whose brother dies. Yes. Not a cooking show. I'm, I said that wrong. Go ahead. Yellowstone at three. Love it. House of Dragons. Yeah, it's great. House of Deggons. Don't be insulting with your tone. Well, what is that? It's Game of Thrones. It's a prequel. It's excellent. Yeah. I'm sure it is. And at number one. It's the number one. It's the number two show. Say whatever you want. It's a number two show.

Doesn't make it good. Hey, scoreboard. Look at the scoreboard. Yeah. Oh, yeah, look at it. Go ahead. Well, I don't watch number one either. Star Wars and or. Oh, it's number one. I start making fun of that one. Morgan, do you watch that one? Yeah, I did. You like it? It was really good. I'm a believer. I know Morgan likes upload and that's at number 10. Ball don't lie. You know, number one. It must be good. Ball don't lie. All right, what else you got? Okay, KFC is testing out funnel, cake, fries.

Are they sweet? Yeah, funnel cake is sweet. They've got the sugar powder, but it's just like a funnel cake, but in the shape of a fry. And if they roll this out to every KFC, for now it's in select ones, they say that you should pair it with, like, chicken strips,

and it's kind of that salty, sweet chicken waffle type thing, but with a funnel fry. I mean, I'm a sucker for a funnel cake. You know what I had that was really good? I paired it together. What? We have these orange drinks. They're like probiotic sodas.

My stomach's always really messed up. But it's like any orange work, sunkissed, whatever. I was eating some crackers Again, the stomach issue And I put the cracker on mouth And I was rushing So I poured the orange drink over the cracker

Because I was just trying to get it And I was like, oh, I didn't mean to do this, this, it's grow Oh It was really good Like a tangy It's like salty Yeah Okay, so the combo is

Put a cracker in your mouth And take a swig of the orange drink Sunny D This drink that I have is called Poppy P-O-P-PI And it's a probiotic soda Yeah I want to try that It's not like a dessert.

It's fine. I like that burn, which is why I was drinking sparkling water. And I try to fix my stomach issues different ways or like at least, you know, trim some corners. But don't drink it going, oh, Bobby really recommends the taste of it. Okay, what else? Well, I want to talk about some country songs that were almost done by other people. And speaking of fried chicken, chicken fried is by Zach Brown band. But that almost went to Alan Jackson.

Oh, yeah. Didn't he not want to do it because he had already done the baloney song? That's right. What's the song that he said? I like... I still like Bologna. Oh, you have this. He did a bunch of food song. And then where I come from, corn, bread and chicken.

That one's interesting because Zach Brown wrote that one and offered it to him as a songwriter. And he said no, but then Zach Brown did it. A lot of these were offered to people and they said no, then somebody else cut it. Because a songwriter had written it. All right, what else? Big Green Tractor.

Jake Owen passed on that and ended up being a number one. for Al Bean. I talked to him about this, and he was like, I just didn't feel like it was authentic to me. He goes, I didn't have a tractor.

I'm like from Florida. And I don't think he's angry. He didn't cut the song because I was like, bro, what? There's a lot of money. But eight second ride was him?

Yeah. But he's in a truck. He's in a truck. Oh, that one's right. He found a bull. Big old truck. I was going to say, Jake, you're Florida.

He never got in the bull. Yeah, exactly. That's a great question. But it's about a truck. Got it. He does have a big truck. That album, though, that whole album of his was definitely a different vibe from Jake. Yeah, I like I-Haw.

Yeah. Y'Haw. Yeah. E-Haw. All right. Whiskey Lullaby, Dirk's Bentley could have done it, but he thought it was too depressing. So it was a huge hit for Brad Paisley and Allison Crosons. I love it.

One of my favorite country songs of all time. He finally drank away her memory. I'm Amy. That's my pile. That was Amy's pile of stories. It's time for the good news. With Bobby. Tell me something good. Tanya Ragsdale and 11 of her friends

went to the Waple House in their town, and they had 100 bucks each. Their bill, after they all ate, was about 80 bucks. So everybody just put their hundred down and left the waitress a tip of $1,100. And that was their plan all along to eat and just basically pimp some joy.

The kind gesture brought the waitress to tears. She was talking to the TV station about it. Look at this lunchbox. She made the news for this tip. I know. I tried to... Made the news. Listen, when I tip people,

no one does anything about it. it. You didn't tip 1,100 bucks. I don't have 1100 bucks to give. And she didn't either, but she got with her friends and they all, it's a significant amount, obviously, 100 bucks. Okay, guys, you guys want to give me some money? No, no, they all did it together. That's what I'm saying. I'll tip somebody. Do you think if we were all eating together, which is what happened was, they would want to talk to you or pry Amy before you? Probably Amy. Because she's. But then I would say, oh, no, no, no, talk to my friend lunchbox.

And then they would say, oh, here, here's Bobby. It's Bobby Bones. I wouldn't do it. That's right. That's what I'm talking about. I'd give it to you. She says they always do some kind of gift, some kind of gesture. And this was the thing they wanted to do this year. And they went in, had some waffles, a little sausage, and tipped her. And that's awesome, that they made it a priority to do that. And I hope you guys do as well. And, you know, coming up soon, our St. Jude Radiothon, that's a way for you to give back as well. And that's coming up.

It's $19 a month, be a partner in hope, wait for that show. The date of that, hey, scuba, what's the date of our St. Jude? That's this week Thursday and Friday. Oh, it is. Yeah, it's uping this week. I should prepare better. It's Thursday and Friday this week. I thought it was that this week, this week or next week.

Okay, St. Jude Radioathon. This week, Thursday and Friday. We hope you can be a partner in hope. All right, thank you. That is what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. On the Bobby Bones show now. Joey Logano.

Joey, good to see you, man. Thank you. What's happening. Joey walked in and dropped a helmet off, and he said something snide, then sat down and laughed. So you brought this helmet. You're not an Arkansas Razorback football fan, I assume? I mean, I just thought a race car helmet looked better. That's all.

It does. It actually looks really cool. I'm we're going to leave it up here. So I appreciate that. This is my stupid question here. How much is a helmet like that cost? By the time you're all set and done like the actual race helmets, they're, you know, probably five, six grand, by the time you're all setting down with the radios on them. They're all carbon fiber. They're really nice and light. They got all the stuff. It's my head, okay? I don't want to cut any corners with my head. I get it. I guess my real question is how much can I pawn that for? Yeah. Well, I'm being honest, that's a replica. So you probably can get a couple hundred bucks for it.

Yeah, I'll take it. I'm super pumped you here. And so I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'm super pumped you here. And so one, the people who works closest with me and she's been a part of my show in my life for a long time. Morgan, come over here and have a seat. Morgan is a massive fan of NASCAR. Awesome. And she's going to make sure that I ask all the good questions that hardcore fans want to know because most of my questions are stupid. For example, you're really tall. How do you fit in a car?

I do. My car is, I mean, it's made for me. How tall are you? I'm 6'2. I'm one of the taller guys out there. But your seat, you know, it's a carbon fiber bucket, and then they pour an insert for you. So it's a foam. They build your seat around you basically?

They build a seat to fit you like perfectly. Do you do that in your real car, though? Can you be like, hey. I wish. Because it is the most comfortable thing in the world. You would never want to leave your car if you said. If you had a seat molded directly to your body the way we do, you would, it's awesome. Yeah, I'd like that.

Garth Brooks, I'm going to be this chair. That's what you need. You need a custom molded chair here for show. I got one from Garth Brooks is way better than you're. because Garth Brooks gave it to me. That's probably right. Yeah, yeah. That's probably right.

I'm flexing back. I can't compete with that. Okay, Morgan, that's my stupid question. What is a great, what's a great Joy Lugano question here that fans would want to know? Well, this is just a nosy question I have. So you, you won the clash, the first race of the season, but you kind of had to decide, am I going to potentially miss the birth of my daughter? How does that conversation go down?

I know we saw a little bit of it in the USA show, Race for the Championship. tip, but off-camera, like, how do you actually decide you may miss the birth of a child? It was hard because, I mean, it's like the worst spot. Like, it's good and bad, right? Because you're about to have, you know, a great moment with a birth of your, of your, our third child, our first daughter. And we're racing in L.A. We live in North Carolina.

So you're all the way across the country. It's our third kid. Everyone says a third one pops out like a slip and slide. So you're like, all right, this is going to happen pretty quick. and you don't know if you're going to get home in time. I'm going to be all the way out in the other side of the country. It's going to take me at least eight hours by the time I get on a plane, fly all the way home, drive to the hospital.

I do the whole thing, and I may miss that. And then I'm going to miss the race too. And so I did what any smart husband would do and said, honey, you tell me what to do. And so that's what worked out. And she said, you know what? When you leave to go out there, you're there. You're full committed.

go racing and then she was, I'll be fine. I'm like, okay. You said this. What about it if it had been the first kid, Joey, different situation? Gosh, I don't know. We were fortunate enough that he was born in January when we're not racing, so it was okay. I mean, it was a tough decision for sure because it's kind of the what if something goes wrong, right? Like, what if you need to be there for something? And thank God everything went smooth.

And the way it all worked out was perfectly. It's exactly the way we had it planned up was go out. when the race come home, we'll have the baby. How long until you had the baby once you got back home? It was two days later. Did you get on a plane right after the race? Yep. After the race, I flew home.

It was the next day we went into the hospital. You got lucky. I'm telling you she wouldn't have been so happy if all of a sudden he's on like turn eight and all of a sudden the baby starts coming out. That's awesome. What are you going to do? It's such a, it's a tough spot. It's a part of, it's the life we live too,

because you're put in a spot whether are you letting your family down, your wife down by not being there or you're letting your team down by not being there, right? They have a lot that's committed to our race team as well, right? There's a lot of bonuses and their families relying on you as well to go do your job. So now you're like, you're stuck in the middle and it's a, I mean, like I said, it's a great spot to be because you're assuming the birth of your child. It's great, but it's also a tough spot to be. If the baby would have started, let's say she went into labor, would they have told you in your ear during the race? So I said, you tell me like a rate after the race. Like if we crossed the start, finish a lot,

If she's having the baby, I am driving straight out of the racetrack. We're not doing media. I am driving the race car to the airport. I'm going. So I didn't have to do that, which was good, though. All right, Joey Lagano is here. We're talking, first of all, congrats on such a successful season. I mean, when you were coming in, there's a passion with college football fans and NASCAR fans.

And there are a lot of parallels between the two. But I said, Joy Lagano is coming in. And some people, you would have thought I just slapped their grandma. Now, I had not met you. You are extremely warm. You walk in the room. You said hi to everybody. You're a kind guy.

But why would people not like you? What did you do to them, Joey? Well, nothing to them particularly, like directly. So here's the thing. I think this is true in probably all sports. And it's really hard for, I think, a lot of people to understand, is that when you get in a competitive environment, like driving a race car or playing football or basketball

or whatever it may be, you have to flip a switch and become very selfish. Because you have to win. It's not about being nice. It's not about doing the right thing. It's about winning the race. That's all that matters in those moments. So you become a different person.

And I think it's really hard for people to understand how you can do one thing on the racetrack and then get out, take your helmet off, and be a normal person, right? And like, be actually kind to people, right? But that's what it is, though. Like, my job is to go out there and win and kick everyone's butt. Like, that is the job.

So I get how that's kind of hard to understand, but I've also, like, tried to explain that for years that, like, we're all like that. I may be one of the more aggressive guys on the racetrack, and I think that's where a lot of this all comes from is that I don't get, I don't like getting pushed around. I always push back every time someone pushes me. So I think that aggressive nature is kind of shown a lot on the track.

And when you don't get to explain yourself after the race very well, it looks like people can interpret it however they want. Right. And so you kind of you get kind of both sides. Not everybody hates me. I agree. There was a lot of love. They're so loving there too. But people are passionate and with passion.

Listen, I would like to take every Alabama football fan and shake them because I'm, you know, market. But as individual people, I probably like most everyone. one of them. But the groups, we don't like each other because we almost, it's like a respect of hatred. Because we love our people and we respect how good they are. We don't want them to beat our people. So all of a sudden, we don't like that fan base. But what's great about it is passion, right? That's a build sports. Is that you're passionate about your team or your driver or whoever that is. And a lot of times when you're very passionate about the person, there's a team you like, you naturally just don't like the others because they're trying to beat

that person. They're trying to take your team down. Right. You know, it's funny you say that. So I do this show, five days a week. I have a couple of TV shows, and I tour doing stand-up. But when I'm not working, I don't talk. Like, I live my life. Look at me. I'm the center of attention, but then when I'm not, I'm a complete introvert. And so when you're saying that, like, you're super aggressive when you're driving and you're like the nicest dude when you walk in, there's a switch. I kind of have to flip off. You have to flip one on. I got to flip, but it's like almost two different people. Do you, when you're driving in the, are you aggressive when you're driving on? you know, Main Street. No, not as much. Maybe I used to be more than I should be. Kids changed all that for me, okay? Like, you kind of like, all of a sudden is a kid in the backseat, you know, you have to be a little smarter now.

And now when someone goes flying by me down on the highway, I'm like, you know. Do you like cars outside of racing? Oh, absolutely. I am a huge car guy. Antique cars, old cars. That's my thing, more than anything. Do you have a garage of them?

Yeah, it's probably too many. I have a car problem. Oh, how many? I like shoes. Yeah. He likes cars. That's his shoes. The Bobby Bone Show is proud to be supported by Grand Canyon University,

Morgan, what is your next educated question for Joy Ligano? I want to go back to like the drama of it all because that's one of my favorite parts. So obviously you're going to get into altercations with other drivers. It's happened. Sometimes you get into physical. fights with other drivers. But then you have to race alongside them for sometimes like years and years to come. So what's the process of making amends? Because NASCAR fans never forget. They never forget. Neither are the drivers. They remember everything too. And it's going to happen,

right? Because we compete against, it's the same drivers every week. It's a traveling circus, as I call it, is that you're going from racetrack to racetrack racing the same car, same driver, same teams. And you think about other sports football, if we keep making references to football, so we'll do that. You compete against a team and then you may not compete against them again all year or maybe it's three or four months before you see him again. There's time to like kind of let it settle. But when like something happens one week and then next week, there he is again right in front of you. You know, like, oh, what am I going to do? Right. Like you all, it hasn't died off yet. Like it's still that feeling of anger. It's all still there. So you react in different

ways and I did a lot of it the wrong way earlier in my career. And part of that is just coming into sports so young. I've been doing this for 15 years now and I started when I was 18. And so just like probably everyone in this room, you did some stupid things when you're 18. Yeah, I don't know. I did it in front of everyone on TV. And so they remember that. And that's part of reason why they don't like me now is another piece of that. There's only a small group, but there's a very passionate group. That's right. That's right. But it's kind of how you do it. right? And you have to earn respect out there. A lot of times the best way to earn respect is by giving respect. But you also have to stay in your ground, right? You can't get pushed around either. So there's

just a balance between all that. So when I'm driving sometimes, I'll get in the car and I'll drive somewhere and I'll be like, dang, I'm already here. I guess I zoned out. You ever like daydream and zone out while you're driving? No. No, it's different. Like, I mean, yes, when I'm driving down the road, yes. I'm like, how did I get here? I'm already at the mall? Or you take a wrong turn and you're like, oh. Or all of a sudden you wake up, you're like, why am I pouring milk on my head, Right. In the race car, I mean, it's very intense, right? Because you're pushing yourself, your vehicle at the absolute limit. And if you lose focus for a second, you hit the wall. And then your race is over. And so your heart rate is high. It's very intense. You're focused in like this ultra focus. And so it can't really, you can't really compare it very well to drive in a car. Okay. Let me make this comparison because you do race a lot. So I hosted American Idol once when Seacrest was that. out. And I was, I was on the show anyway, and they say, hey, we need you to host because Ryan's sick.

So I go up, and I didn't feel like the moment was too big for me, and I've done a lot of hosting things. And as I'm doing it, we're on camera, whatever. I find myself wondering what the score of the football game is that I'm missing because of this. Because I'm comfortable. I'm still doing a plus job, but I find myself, are you ever driving in your race and you're like, man, I wonder what's that? We're cooking for dinner tonight. Now. Dang. Now. I mean, I don't know if every driver will answer that the same as I do. But, I don't. Like I literally zone into something where it takes all my focus where I can't, I can't,

maybe you're smarter than me to where you can handle more than one thing at once. I literally can't do it. You're a champion. I can't do it. Morgan, next question. Okay. So rookies, they have to have like stripes on their car, right? Right.

Yeah. Is there any spoken or unspoken like initiation process as a rookie? And I know you're no longer one, obviously, but when you were a rookie, did you ever have any moments with veteran drivers where you're like, wow, they're ruthless. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I mean, so when you're a rookie in the in the Cup series, they put a stripe on the back bumper. It's called a rookie stripe.

So everybody knows this is the new guy, right? Like this guy may not know what he's there. It's like the magnet on the car. That's what it is. Yeah, be patient with me, please. It's like one of those things. And I mean, it definitely is like a lot of the drivers that have been around for a while. it's almost like they set the tone pretty, pretty aggressively with that driver, right?

They try to take control of like, hey, welcome to the big league moments, right? Like, here we are, you know, this is how we race. We're not standing up for this or whatever it may be. And I went through this, like, a lot. And it's funny. So I went through this a lot with Kevin Harvick earlier in my career. And we had a couple pushing, shoving matches and back and forth on the racetrack. And it's just like a, it's really hard to deal with.

And it's funny because now looking back, at it and I was talking to them last night. We were eating dinner together. And we were talking about some of the stuff. And I get it now. Like now that I've been around for a long time, I realized where I was screwing up and what I was doing wrong and how I came into the sport the wrong way. And I understand why he did what he did. But I didn't when I was 18 years old. So it's funny that, like, you can go through all that. And then you can have a friendship kind of away from the racetrack and and talking about it, you know, here we are 10, 12 years later after that. But, but, you're But kind of funny how that all works out.

Are you familiar with the band ACDC? I am. Okay. They're still here. A little before my time. A little before yours, obviously. So they have a league guitarist named Angus Young, and he goes out, and he says every night he loses like five to six pounds because he goes so hard. Now, there's a lot of intensity in what you do for hours at a time in a full body suit.

Do you lose weight from the time you get in the car to the time you get out? And does it affect what you eat that day or how much you drink that day? Yes. Yes. So our race car is like we don't have air conditioning. We don't have like a lot of the creature comforts that you guys have in your car while you're driving down the road because it weighs a lot. It robs horsepower from the car. So it gets really hot, right? So now our engines are running at, you know, 8700 RPM and we don't have air conditioning. So that's quite the water heater in front of us. And you can imagine that the water temps are, you know, 250, 260 degrees. Like it's hot. Well, all that, that temperature from the head. the engine, all that stuff, gets just put throughout the whole car. So a good rule of thumb, it's 40 degrees warmer inside the car than the outside air temp. So if it's a 90 degree day, it's 130 degrees inside the car. You're in there for three, three and a half hours throughout a 500 mile race. So yeah, you're going to sweat a lot. And you're working the whole time, right? You

have to stay focused. You have to do all this. But we train for it, right? It's not like it's, it sounds like, you guys are all looking at me like, oh my God, it sounds miserable. And sometimes it is, But you train for it. You do it every week. You hydrate. You eat correctly. You do all the things. Just like any other athlete before they prepare for a game.

It's the same for us as we prepare for a race. Dang. That's hot. Do you have like a little fan? I mean, he's got one of those lower. I'm like, they make them on Amazon. You put them around your neck. And it's a great idea.

I do have a top of the helmet. You see there is a little air duct on the top. And mine or the real one? Well, and both. but you're on the top and the back. They plug in and that's where you get outside air blown into your helmet so you can breathe fresh air. And it goes through like a CO filter

so where you don't get sick and all that from the fumes. So that's pretty much all you got. Dang, that's hardcore. Morgan, next question. Okay. So you mentioned race preparation. A lot goes into it before you actually make it to the track. I want to know what area you think most drivers,

like they slack the most in, if it's the sin. or what part they look forward to the least? I think probably every driver finds their own way to prepare, right? Like, everybody finds their own way and what works for them. And you have to realize what your weaknesses are and what your strengths are and try to play to those. And, you know, for me, the only way I'm going to feel confident is if I do all the prep work.

So it's really like a lot of film review for me, a lot of meetings with the engineers and going through a lot of the setup stuff. Like that's where I really feel like I can impact a team the most and where I can help myself be prepared the most when it gets to race time. But, like, others go to the simulator a lot. I don't believe in the sim. I don't.

I don't believe in the sim. I don't. I don't go there. There's, like, this racing, like, simulator you get in, and it's like the coolest video game of all time. But it's pretty realistic, but not all the way realistic.

And so you can, like, to me, I think I can form a lot of bad habits and steer the team down the wrong direction. And so I don't believe in it 100%, so I don't go there a lot. And worked for Ross Chastain this season. He did a video game move, Yes. I don't know if that's correct or not, but he did it. Classic Ross, right? Yeah, classic

Ross. Yeah, he's like, who's Ross? Yeah, I have no idea. Yeah. Classic Ross, you know what I mean? But yeah, I mean, that's just, everyone finds their way. Like, you guys prepare for the show in different ways. I'm sure everybody has a different role in different jobs and do it differently. It's the same for us. All right, we have two questions each. So some of my athlete friends and some that I just know have had in their contracts say they can't ski or they can't bungee jump because they have obligations to their sponsor or their team. Are those in your deals with them too? Because you are an athlete for sure and you don't want to hurt yourself so you can't drive. Can you snow ski? It says in there just don't be an idiot basically. Don't go do something and get yourself hurt. If you do, you're out.

Do you make decisions based on that though? Like if you went to Colorado, you'd be like, I'm not going to ski. I mean, I went skiing with my son actually this week, but he's four, and we stayed on the bunny hill, and I was teaching him how to ski, and we were kind of going on the but no, I didn't not go to the top and try to go down because I just know, I don't want to take that risk. Motorcycles? Would you ride a motorcy? I don't do motor. I mean, I ride a quad a lot. Like, I ride a lot of stuff off road, because that's, to me, that's how I grew up. And in a way, it kind of keeps me sharp when we're not in the race car. Like, it's just, it's not easy to just go practice. Like, I can't pick up a ball and go shoot hoops. I can't just go get in a race car and drive it in my front yard

and, right, I think that I'm getting somewhere with it. Like, it's not that simple or easy for us. So, video game. There's that. There's also, to me, it's just driving something at its edge, whatever it is. Whether it's a go car or a, oh, I love this stuff. I love driving cars. No, I would never do that. Never, ever. I don't like heights. I'll stay on the ground. But I do think anytime you can push yourself to the limit, inside a vehicle, I think, helps you on race day.

at public.com slash disclosures. Morgan? Okay. I'm curious about the Nashville Fairgrounds because there's going to be a vote early next year that's basically going to help determine if NASCAR is going to race there again and you'll have not race there since the 80s. Why is this a track like Dale Jr. and other current drivers are so vocal about wanting to get back on the series. I think you know, it's a great question. That's how you know she's into this. She knows about the fairgrounds up

the road here. And Ross. She knows that too. Yes, very educated. I would say the main reason for the fairground, I think, is it's a very historic facility. It's not far from downtown, which is really good. I think we learned that a lot this year is if we bring the races to the

people, it is a whole different experience. When we race at the L.A. Cal We're racing downtown. The place was packed, and I think it was close to 70% of the people there were first-time racers, race fans, like never been to the racetrack before. 70% of the people there have never been to one before. So you think about the people that we haven't really reached out to yet. So I think a lot of times bringing the racetrack to the people, the fairgrounds kind of accomplishes that. It's an old facility that has a historic vibe, right? That throwback vibe. It's kind of cool. So I look forward to it. I hope. Hopefully we can all make it work, right? We're doing that at North Wilkesboro this year at the All-Star race. It's been shut down for years. It's been shut down for, shoot, I don't know how long. 30 years?

Yeah, long time. And Dell Jr. has also been really big. Big on that. Well, he's a big throwback guy. So it makes sense. But it's cool that, like, you know, Dale Jr. was our most popular driver for years. And, you know, now that he's retired and he's doing TV stuff,

but he still cares so much about the sport that he's always looking for ways to, you know, keep things going along and doing different things. And he has that throwback, you know, passion that he's, he's always pushing, which is great. Joey Lugano is here, and not talking about anyone specifically or even yourself at all, but sometimes when guys will hop out of the car

and they'll start swinging at each other, why would you take your helmet off when you, not you, but if you're going to fight, why take off protection in any world? I see them take their helmet off and then go to town. Football players do it too. Like, why would you take your helmet off? Well, I mean, you kind of,

but you have to. Like, I don't know. I feel like you have to. Like, that's the code of ethics? Yeah, I think like, Yeah, you gotta take it off. Like the Roman warriors didn't go, okay, time to battle. Pull your helmets off, guys.

No, do you leave it on in case? It's not about being smart in that moment, okay? Like, you're already doing something stupid. You're fighting. It's already dumb in the first place. So we might as to go all out and take your helmet off while you're doing it. Okay. The extra dumb.

Do you feel it if you get hit? Or you adrenaline suspicion? What? If you get punched? Like at a race. Oh, like in the car? No, let's say you and me were running beside each other. And I'm like, pull over.

Is that what you do, point at the side? That's an idea. I put my blinker on after that. Yeah. So let's say you get in a fight. Wherever you guys fight, like on the side after the race. Are you your adrenaline up so much that you don't really feel it then? It's really not that many fights.

It doesn't happen that often. It's not a hockey game. And honestly, I haven't been involved in one in quite some time now. Because mainly my son can watch YouTube now. That's good. You're a dad. And it lives forever. That's why I don't fight.

There's like, there's better ways to handle it. Like I said, I made a lot of dumb mistakes when I was a kid. So there it is. If it happens anytime soon. Yeah, or just handle it differently. I'll leave your helmet down. Yeah. I want to see you rocking in the helmet and be like, I told them.

I told them. All right, Morgan, last question. Okay, last question. I try and convert all my friends into NASCAR fans because I just feel like it's so slept on. Morgan over their nose. Oh, she's darned. What's your best elevator pitch for the people listening that have never watched the race or given NASCAR chance?

I think you got to go to one to really get the full. experience, right? Like, just like most sports, like on TV is great, right, to watch and it has all that. But when you go to a race in person and you feel all the cars come by the first time, right? You have 40 cars going, you know, 150 to 200 miles an hour by you. That feeling, you can't replicate it anywhere. Like, there's no, like, think about, like, if you ever been sitting on the side of the road when you have a flat tire or something like that while you're waiting for AAA, and you see all the the car's going by at 70 miles an hour and they look like they're hauling the mail right like they look like they're going fast at 70 well like triple that you know what i mean like or more than double, at least, how much faster we're going and they're allowed and they're

bumping and banging and doing it. It's awesome. Like, I fell in love with this when I was a kid when I was six or seven years old and I haven't changed a bit since then. Like, I'm always going to be a race fan first. But the feeling of the adrenaline, all that stuff going is cool. And then as you start to learn to detail the technical side of the sport, the strategy side of the sport, it just keeps getting deeper, just like every other sport, right? Like, there's a casual way of watching it and then you can just fully immerse yourself into all the details. What are you involved in, Joey, that brings purpose to why you race cars? Meaning you get to do this, you get a platform.

So with that platform, you like to do blank. Yeah, that's a great question. And that's what I say, what's the why? Right? Like, why do you do this one? And, you know, my wife said it best to me one time. Once we were, we got married a few years ago. She just been, oh, that's almost eight, eight or nine years ago.

Don't say it wrong. This isn't live right now. And she said to me, she goes, when you're on your deathbed, do you want people or trophies? And that was kind of like the eye-opening experience for me. And I said I want both. And I think I could do that because I think you can take a trophy and do something with it. Right. Like no one's going to remember we won the championship this year 15 years from now.

No one's going to care. No one's going to know. It's just going to be a stat in a history book that someone's going to look at and it's going to move on. But if you take the platform that God's given me here to do something that impacts people for a long period of time, that's something that lasts for generations. And that's why we started at Joey Lugano Foundation. We give second chances that children and young adults in times of crisis, a lot of foster kids, foster families,

kids that just haven't been dealt maybe the best of hands. And they just need some loving, right? They just need somebody to support them, help them, you know, become a contributing member of society. And we work with a lot of organizations that do that. And basically, we use our race fans, our platform and all that to pour a little bit of fuel on, the sparks that these other organizations are doing, right?

We're trying to bring some light to what they're doing. And that's the why, right? That's the whole reason why we really do what we do. If not, these trophies, they're empty cups. Like, it doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things. So that's the main reason here. My last, not even a real question, but you have a ring on that is a monster. What is that?

That's the championship ring from this year. So they gave this to me. Is that the real one? That's the one right there. It's a little big and gaudy. It's a little flashier than I typically am. This is a pretty flashy thing to do. What is it?

I felt like it's, you know, we're here for the banquet. It's probably like the only time that I can wear it without like feeling like I'm a... It's a bell buckle. You know? Yeah.

It's a belt buckle. Like, Eddie, Eddie, we were getting, we headlined the, the, in Wyoming. Yeah,

it's, Freedom. Frontier days. It's a big deal. So Eddie, we headlined that show. And they gave us these big belt buckles. In it,

uh, it's not as big as ring. It's not as big as that ring. It's, It's heavy. It's a little much. But hey, you know what? If it won the whole thing, I might as well wear it for at least a weekend, right?

Well, I'm going to say this. You are my favorite driver. Am I the only one you ever met though? No. No? All right. No, not at all. Who's the one?

We've met a few. Tony Stewart liked her feet. It was weird. Do you know him? Do you know Tony? I know Tony. Did you know he's maybe has a foot fetish? I did not know this.

Yeah, he was talking to her about her feet. Yeah, he kept staring at him. On the air or like afterwards? No, no. We were at a. creepy conversation about your feet. Race and maybe interviewing him for something and he kept looking at them and then

I don't know. We don't have to spend a lot of time on this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I feel like I got to know more about it now. Okay. He just said, he said, you have nice feet. And he walked away. Morgan, who did I just... Who did I just do the TV show with? Howlbush.

Oh. You know what? That guy. You know, here's the thing. I'll be honest with you, Joey. I get on this and I'm not supposed to say what show it was yet, but we did a show together. And I didn't know who he was. And I thought they brought on like a fan to like be a part. That would over well. And I was just confused. And I said, because he had, his house was in the background. And I said, dang, whatever you do must pay well. I didn't know it was. And I think he thought I was kidding, but I wasn't because I didn't know who he was. And then later I realized he was a driver.

And I said, oh, this is Kyle Bush. And I remember somebody was like, oh, yeah, that's Kyle Bush. And now, what's he known for? Because the reaction wasn't positive when I said that to who I was with. They were like, oh, yeah, that's Kyle. He's a love him or hate him type of person. He's a big personality. He's a big personality. He's very emotional and really speaks his mind a lot.

And he's a character. He's a character in our sport for sure. He's a very talented race car driver. You know, he's one of the best on the racetrack. I ended up liking him fine. I just didn't know who he was at first. and I thought he thought I was joking, but I don't know,

I just thought I was a dude who I was team, I didn't, it was a whole thing, but in the end, look at us. You're my favorite. I met him, met Bush, I met Denny Hamlin, you met him.

And you know this guy Ross now. Ross, Justin. Bro. Marilla man. Yeah. Joey, you're awesome, man. You can't,

you know, sometimes I'm a little hesitant or a little apprehensive, but yeah, you're the guy. You're my guy. All right. I like the nicest guy. I got to come.

I kind of bought your love. But that's okay. You know, it actually put you a quarter step back because I was like, he's trying to buy my love. Oh. But then. Now, I should have gave it to you afterwards. No, no, it's still good. It's still good.

I like it. Okay, listen, you guys follow Joey at Joey Lagano. That's my new favorite driver. I'm going to be watching. Thank you. Get on the track. Do you shift your gears, win some stuff. That's what we do?

That's it, right? So what do we look for to make sure it's your car? Number 22. That's it. Bright. It's bright, shell, Pennzo, Ford, Mustang. Bright, yellow and red car. You can't miss.

It's the one that stands out the most. He's the guy. I like that. He's a guy winning. Okay. But yeah, but once they start going in circles, you can't tell. Well, they don't show the people in the back. I mean.

You'll see, it's the yellow one. It stands out. It's one of the only yellow cars out there. That's easy. Okay, got you. Yeah. Big fan here. Thank you.

Here he is. Our friend, Joey Ligano. All right, guys. Thank you. It's time for the good news. With Amy. Tell me something good. Lauren Summi just turned 105 years old.

She lives at a hundred and five years old. She lives at. an assisted living home in Cherryville, North Carolina. And the people that work there, they treated her to a big old party because 105 years on this earth and she'd never had a big party before. Wait, what?

And I'm one that's like, oh, poor me, I never had a birthday party. She's 105 and never had one? Yeah, so one of the staff members... At 100? They didn't give her a party? That's crazy. At 100.

If I don't know somebody and I know they're 100, I give him a party. That's epic. Okay. So, special shout out to Jody, Langford who works there and she put on social media and asked others in the community to, you know, help celebrate Lauren and 1,200 birthday cards arrived from people all over the country and then they had a big party. There was square dancing, line dancing, a miniature pony named

Daniel Jackson. All those cards, those, too much. But it's thoughtful. It is, but it's like, what are you going to open all of them? She can die for you and get to all thousands of them. No, but just seeing the stack. Yes, it is great. I love to see that. I love to see people do it. But there's got to be a way, that's a go-fund me. Everybody put it in a dollar that's gonna buy it. I don't know. I like it. I love the effort. I think we could channel it a little differently. Like everybody sign something online, write a nice message,

then donate to like her favorite thing or something. But she's 105. That's awesome. I would love to be 105. As long as you're still. Exactly. You got to fully. I'd rather be half and alive at 105. Really? Yeah. Even if I had to change you?

Yes. Have you? You've had to at 33. Do you changed an old person before? Not in the last week or so. But it's okay, Amy. He'd be the one getting changed. He's cool with that.

He gives a crap. Me, and then they change it. There you go. That's a great story. I love the people stood up and sent a card. That's really sweet. And shout out to all caregivers out there because you are the heroes. Great and small.

Caregivers great and small. Good tidings to you all. All right, that's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. Air Tasker helps you check off your to-do list. I need the wasp nest gone, house cleaned, and my dog taken to his overpriced hair. Go to Airtasker.com or download the app.
