Since we have a superstar guest. Don't say too much about it because we don't want to blame stealing our ideas. No, hell, no. Yeah, I'm only coming on here for notes. That's why I got my phone out. I'm going to take notes out of the table. Like, they do this well. He's going to go back.

He's going to go back. All right, listen, guys, we've got to get a beer tap in here. Beer tap. We need to get one on the table. On the table. We've got to one up them somehow. Hey, everybody. It's Dale Jr. for another episode of the Dale Jr.

Download. We got a guest on today. I'm excited about Ryan Blaney. We're going to bring you right in a start of the show. Perfect. Brian? I'm here. You ready?

I am. It's going to be a lot of fun. We got a lot of great things to talk about, obviously, Atlanta. And we got pristine auction back as well this week. We've got some pretty fun stuff to talk about that with Ryan Blaney. And we've got a new partner, Hopsy. We'll talk about what Hopsy is here in a bit. promo code.

Dale Jr. No space. Let's get started. Set cameras on level. Ship. Dale Arnhart Jr. Mike Davis. Dale Jr. Galmo.

All right, man. Where was the Ryan Blaney reference in that today? I didn't think we're going to have them at the top. We didn't know if we're going to have them. All right, all right. I was waiting on my name. He didn't get a custom sound design. Hold on. We'll do it pretty real.

Hold on. We'll do one. Ryan Blaney. Perfect. I'm going to use that on my podcast. I'm stealing a lot of stuff today. I'm going to take it. So as usual with me is Mike Davis. What's up? Co-host, Matthew Dillner, Leavon, in studio as well.

And Ryan Blaney. Ryan's going to be on the whole show. We're going to have him around. We'll see if he makes it. Yeah, it should be a lot of fun. You might fall out of the seat. I know. It's a grind.

So what's been going on, Blaney? Nothing. I mean, you got to race Atlanta yesterday. Everybody watched the race. Great race. Yeah. Look like you had a great shot to win. Yeah.

Had some problems at the end. Yeah. So that was the first race on the first race. the new package, you know, and everyone didn't really know what to expect. We got it, questions about it for a long time, and really my answer was, I don't know. I don't know how it's going to race. We haven't, just wait, wait until it races, and then you can, you can judge it, but honestly, Atlanta is, you know, it's kind of its own beast. You know, you can't really, like, I wouldn't even compare Atlanta to Vegas. Like, is there just going to be a completely different race, but

I thought the restarts were really exciting. You saw us four wide at sometimes, and, uh, there was some good passes for the lead and stuff. And, um, yeah, we had a shot to win the thing. And, You were leading. Yeah, we got the lead, which was astonishing for us at Atlanta. We got the lead, and we were running so good. But we come down on pit road, and they wrecked on pit road in front of us right in front of our pit stall, and there was some miscommunication. My crew chief thought I was over the line, but I wasn't.

Right. Was that the Ryan Preece? Yeah. McCleod and Preece. And there was some miscommunication there, and it just kind of all kind of. You backed off the jack. Yeah, so there was a lot of stuff going on. this car is spinning out.

So I kind of saw that, and my crew chief was yelling in my ear back up. So I was just hearing back up. I didn't even realize the right side was jacked up, so I felt like an idiot. It's chaos in that moment. Yeah. You know, there's a lot of things happening. You're trying to figure out what you're doing, holding the break for the guys trying to change the tires, people are hauling in a year.

I watched a lot of the race on TV. Then I had to go visit Mamaw, took Ayla over to see Mamma, and so we listened to the race on the MRN, and that's when you were taking a lead. It sounded awesome coming across the radio, a lot of action in that final segment. Fans just want to know, really, did you have fun? Did you enjoy racing in Atlanta yesterday? I did. I thought the package was pretty good. You could run all over the place. You know, like the last few years, the top of three and four in Atlanta hasn't really been that great. And you could actually

go up there and make some moves, especially on restarts, which was nice. And you could run from the bottom, middle, top of one and two. It was all pretty even. So I thought, I thought, It was all right. Behind cars wasn't as good as I expected. We struggled right behind cars. Like I said, I think Atlanta is kind of its own thing. I think we can get a little bit more of an idea what it's going to be like this weekend of Vegas. Do you like the surface at Atlanta? Yeah, I hope they don't pave it for a while. I mean, it... Y'all are similar in that way. Crowd goes wild. Yeah. I mean, it's... It was missed in all Saturday, and really the weepers weren't a problem. That's good to know. I mean, at a track like that

that has so much age on it, typically weepers do become a problem when you have so much rain. I mean, any racetracks are going to have weepers with that much rain, the fact that it held up pretty good. I mean, it poured Saturday night, and there was just a little bit of weepers, like, on the front stretch, and they were, like, out of the groove. Yeah, it was surprising to me actually how easy they dried up. Atlanta is one of my favorite racetracks. One of the things that I regret or wished I had been able to do was run on the original configuration before they put the dog leg in that, And that got me thinking about asking you a question about the three things that you wish you got to do in NASCAR.

Is there anything in NASCAR maybe because you're such a history buff? You like the history. Yeah. What about racing in the past would you like to go back and try or some era of cars, a racetrack that you didn't get to try? Both, though, were actually dumped in my mind. I love to go back and run like, you know, the 70s or 80 style cars. You know, I thought that was those cars are personally my favorite. just rewatching races.

Any particular car? I was a big fan of the Laguna. Olds 442. Yeah, when David Pearson drove for the Wood Brothers, that was my favorite car, and we were able to replicate that car. When he did the Triple Crown in 76, we did that car for Darlington.

So, like, that era of car, I thought was really great. That, and I wish I raced at Riverside. Really? Riverside was a cool racetrack. Yeah. You know, it's a shame. I think it's a mall now.

Yeah, they tore it down. I went to the last race there, or the second to last race there. When was the last race there? 86, 85, maybe 87. But, I mean, obviously being West Coast, I didn't go to the West Coast that often with Dad on those trips. But I remember going to one of the last Riverside races, and on the way to, and from the track to the hotel, dad drove me by where Ontario used to be. and talk about, you know, this is where the, you know, sign-in box was, where you get your credential box and or get your credentials,

and this is where it turned three and all that. So that was really cool that, that I got to see that. Both those places, I think, are, uh, parking lots are developed. Yeah, that's unfortunate. I always thought, uh, Bristol asphalt. I always, yeah, a short track, high-banked asphalt, you know, we talk, there's word, you know, there's, there's rumors that we might go back to Nashville. And I just, um, I love that place.

too. Fairgrounds. Yeah. Run a cup car there. It would be pretty fun. Yeah, I ran a late model there, a super late model there probably in 2010, and it was a blast. You were hauling the mail on a super late model around that place, and rough and high bank. It's rough, and the surface is much like Atlanta.

Yeah. Slick and worn out, each tires up. It'd be a cool. I think it's coming along well. I don't know a lot about it. Process of getting back to Nashville fairgrounds? Yeah. Yeah.

Do you know something that we don't know? I don't know. I feel like you guys know everything. I hear a lot of good positive. Well, I try to talk to Marcus Smith about it, who is interested in taking NASCAR back to the fairgrounds, and he says the process is coming along well. That city has got so much promise.

We're going back there for the banquet. For the banquet. It's perfect. Perfect sense. Way better than Vegas. Yeah. Vegas is great, but it's a long ways to go, and it's really kind of, I don't know.

Our roots are in the mid-Atlantic region, in the southeast. Nashville works for us, getting people to perform and so forth and come out there and be a part of that. It'll be a lot easier in Nashville. So it should be good for everybody. Closer for Korea has to get. A lot of our fans, you know, in that region, we really love to be a good time, too. Yeah, so it should be cool. I don't, you know, and I think that will encourage us to be racing in that city after we get that banquet happening. So we talked about your love for the history. Why do you love the history? I mean, you're, I don't know that we see a lot of guys tout that or talk much about that even though they may.

But you do. You wear the shirts. You've got the hats. Yeah, I just enjoy it. You know, and I think that just comes from watching my dad do it for a long time. You know, kind of the same as you and just growing up around the sport. Do you just like collecting hats and shirts? I collect hatch and shirts, you know, if I think they're cool, but trying to collect them from some of my favorite drivers. You know, I had growing up, whether it's sprint cars or, you know, NASCAR or whatever. So that's, I make that a priority to try to find drivers. that I really liked growing up.

But then if I see a neat racetrack shirt or something like that, I like getting it. How much time to either you dedicate to the searching of cool hats and shirts? I'm there. I'm kind of daily. Yeah. Daily? Every day. Are you daily?

Every other day. I've got searches saved that I can just go look at any time and see what's kind of curated into that catalog of stuff. And it's rare that I see something or buy. But the last thing I bought was a couple of a week ago. I bought a Bobby Allison Miller American racing shirt with his Buick on there. Yeah. And brand new from sports.

I think I got one of those. Yeah. But it's too small. You should probably have the one. Yeah. A little trade action going on. Do y'all ever sell or is it just buy? No.

No, I don't sell. I just collect. That's it. I sold a couple of magazines when I was trying to get the entire catalog of Circle Track and Stock Car Racing. Yeah. And magazine. And so I got a couple doubles and I sold the doubles.

Even if sometimes shirts come in, sometimes people just send me stuff now sometimes. It's amazing, right? It's kind of become your identity. So people, they want to offload stuff, they know where to go. So sometimes they'll send me shirts that are like child mediums, right? But I save them for, you should, you know, for my nephew or by a kid someday. Yeah, yeah.

Future girlfriend, girlfriend. Yeah. Even like, I have something that you're going to love. I'm going to tell you right now, there's nothing cooler than Amy putting on an old Bobby Allison or David Pearson T-shirt. Yeah. Or even my dad's. We have several of my dad's old shirts from the 80s, and it's cool. Yeah, it's awesome.

So I just enjoy it. You said your favorite drivers, who are these guys? Who are your favorite drivers from the past? You know, I try to collect, I was a big Rusty Wallace fan from the past. Really? Yeah, I like Rusty. I didn't know that. Rusty's, yeah, it's been cool to get to know them a little bit over the years.

I have some Harry Gant stuff. Yeah. I was a big hairy. fan anything kind of Wood Brothers I can find like a Neil Bonnet stuff or I can't find I'm I'm searching for a Kail Yarbrough wood brothers racing shirt or hat and there's not a lot of I haven't seen him in in like 70 yeah you know there's not a lot of stuff out there but right before he went to Indycar for a couple years which is really weird right I mean he's in stock cars then he goes to USAC for two years and he goes back he just likes driving on that stuff

I was it's funny talking about so at Rogers Hall of Fame induction a few weeks weeks ago, I was talking to Bobby Allison, and he drove for Roger for a little bit, and he tested one of Rogers Indy cars. I believe it was at Michigan, and he was like, that is just ridiculously fast. So I think a lot of them guys kind of went and went and drove Indy Cars for a little bit. Yeah, I think Donnie Allison and Bobby both. Yeah. You would know. Yeah, they both ran at Indianapolis, so. Yeah. Yeah, but he was, he wasn't a fan of that. He was like, that's crazy, yeah. Bobby would drive anything, man. Yeah. But I actually, the sprint car stuff, I got a present on Christmas, like the best Christmas present I ever could have got was at my dad's mother's house up in Ohio.

And someone gave me this big chest, like a wooden chest he made with one of my dad's old sprint cars etched in the top of it. And you open it up, it was like treasure. And it was like 15 old sprint car shirts. There was some of my dad. There was a couple Brad Doty shirts in there, a Kinzer shirt. And then Doug Wolfgang, he's like one of my favorite sprint car drivers from back in the day. And it was that. And then I think there was a Swindell shirt in there, too.

But there was a good variety. So that was one of the coolest finds I got. So it's old sprint car shoes. You come, your family's background, spin car racing. How much sprint car racing did you do? I drove a sprint car about three times. Right. So to me, that's interesting because you would think that you spent a lot of time as a kid

growing up on dirt running sprint cars, but you didn't. No, yeah, that's what a lot of people think. Right. A lot of people think I was a dirt background guy, but I'm like, I drove a 4-10 sprint car maybe, yeah, maybe two or three times. And, you know, I've driven a big block modified a couple times. So what is your background? But asphalt, late models. Yeah.

So how it was, you know, I was born in Ohio and my dad was still racing sprint cars when I was born. But, you know, late 90s, we moved down to North Carolina when you started driving, you know, getting into the, you know, bush stuff and the cup stuff and started driving for Bill Davis. and around there when I was 8 or 9, you know, old enough to drive, we were already in North Carolina, and there's just no dirt sprint car stuff around here. So it was, all right, let's go quarter midget racing. Labani just built a new track over in Salisbury, so that's where we grew up racing. And then we went to Banderleros and legend cars and asphalt late models and with the past series for a long time.

And ran CRA a little bit if you guys remember CRA. No. Don't remember CRA? I don't know much about pass. Okay. The Pass series, it's still around. Dillner knows a lot about Pass and CRA. I remember when this guy was like knee-high to the grasshopper.

It was like, who's this little kid with a crackly little voice? Yeah. So those are super late models, fireglass bodies. Yes. Left-handers. Yep. Yeah, we'd run, you know, Hickory, Orange County, South Boston. Concord?

Concord. You'd end up on your roof. Yeah, I flipped over at Concord once. Wow, really? The lamest rollover ever. It was like, it was some. guy spun off of four and tons of smoke and I was only creeping through there at like probably 40 creeping through there at 40 but we just like jump wheels and it was like the slowest roll over

ever I was like that wasn't you had a lot of success in the late models and yeah we did pretty well in late models we won a championship in the past deal and uh CRA won and we did that for a long time I really missed late model racing I wish we would have kept one we sold all our stuff and bought a can N car we race K&N east uh we would only do like five or six races a year yeah like you at the big tracks like Iowa, Richmond, Dover, Bristol. We didn't go to the short track stuff. Family-owned car. Yeah, just me and my dad.

You know Trent Owen? Yes. He actually crew chiefly. He was working at Turner at the time. And he and dad know each other really well, and he would sit on the box for the races and kind of help set it up and stuff like that. That's cool.

Yeah, we had one car. Actually, we had two cars. We tried around the second car one time, and it was garbage. So that just sat in the corner. Never used it again. So we had one good car. And first time I remember seeing you race

was at Richmond and Xfinity Series Tommy Baldwin's car. How did that happen? Yeah, so it was I think that was 2012 and and dad was driving for Tommy

at the time in the Cup Series in that 36 car. They got an Xfinity car. It was an older RCR car. We had some money and sponsorship to kind of run it. I think we ran seven races in that car that year

and Richmond was the first one and I think we ran seventh in that race. That was probably the best car I've ever had at Richmond. And if I could, I wish I could redo it. I totally understand where you're coming from. I mean, the best, I ran, one of my first races was Bristol, and I drove for Ed Whitaker,

and that was the best driving car I ever drove at Richmond, or Bristol, even better than the one that I won the race in. Yeah. So, yeah, that was kind of the moment where I was like, oh, you know, I think a lot of people were turned, were like, took notice of you and you being, you know, your future being bright after that race at Richmond. That was the first time for a lot of people in a sport and industry being able to see what you can do. Right. Well, remember this when – so we ran Richmond, you know, around 7th. Great.

It's awesome. I think we talked to you a little bit, and you were like, we'll see how he does in Darlington. We were running Darlington the next week. I reckon, like, lap one and a half. Like, just destroy the damn thing off of two. I was like, well, my career is over. It's done. And that's really how you feel.

Yeah. Oh, yeah. I was like, man, we went from the highest to high. And that's the way the sport is. I think a lot of people don't, a lot of people don't really realize how tough emotionally the sport is. I had the same experience in Xfinity. Went to Charlotte to run the Wrangler car in 96. I think I'd ran one race at Myrtle Beach and had a great day, really fast, real happy.

And then went to, and I wrecked in practice. And so I went home and I thought my life, my career's over. That's the end of it. Yeah. Car dealership. My future. And dad came in there and said, what are you doing? Why aren't you fixing your car?

And I was like, why would I fix it? My career's over with. Fire guys don't fix their stuff. Yeah. Go, go fix it. What do you remember talking to Dale after your Richmond race, though? Actually, his dad came up to me. Yeah, I remember dad talking to him.

So, me and his dad, I'd always talk to him. him at intros and stuff. I didn't talk to a lot of guys, but Blaney was always so approachable, so nice, and we kind of came up together in Xfinity series, and I didn't know Ryan at all at this time, but we just always had a respect for each other and talk, you know, talk to each other. So is that where you guys started? I do most of my business on the intro stage. No, no, 100%. I remember that. I mean, not in the garage. No, the intro stage is where I talked to, Reagan Smith about driving for us. The intro stage is where I talked to Alex Bowman

for the first time about working with us. So, yeah, there's some good work you can do on the intro stage. And in that case, you... That's the only time, really, you get around the... Gave that boost of confidence to Blaney here and said, hey, we'll see how you do it, Darlington, and then he went and crashed after a life. Just destroyed it.

Yeah. And so you thought you were done. I thought I was done, man. I mean, everyone does in that situation. Everyone was like, oh, this, you know, kids just a freaking hack and stuff. Yeah. I think we ran that car a handful of other times. I had a couple more good runs in it. And then I remember Brad Kuzlowski came up to me.

We ran that Tommy car at Kentucky. I think we ran 7th at Kentucky, the old Kentucky. Brad talked to me right after the race. We walked back to the garage together. He was wanting to talk to me about driving his truck. And that was kind of the start of that deal. That's pretty cool. Yeah.

So after the race and intros, that's like when deals get done. That's the only time you can find an idle driver. Yeah, right. Really, yeah, to be able to get the conversation going. You've been a great representative for NASCAR right out of the gate, one of the guys that is willing to go and do and sort of help promote the sport outside of the small industry bubble. You've been that way since over the last couple years.

Is that something you take a lot of pride in? Yeah, I just... How did that develop? How did that develop? Yeah, like at a young age, I wasn't like that. I don't think a lot of guys are. Yeah, I was never like that, to be honest with you. You know, a handful years ago, I was very, I didn't want to do anything.

I was very shy. I didn't like doing anything. You know, as you kind of get into the sport, I feel like you kind of open up a little bit and be a little bit more comfortable with fans and doing stuff. And honestly, you know, doing stuff away from the racetrack and other markets, things like that, it's healthy for everybody. You know, it helps the sport. It helps yourself.

I don't mind doing it. You know, I mean, what else do I have going on? If I don't have any prior commitments, you know, to my job, obviously, you know, your job comes first. You know, I'm not going to miss anything for that. But, yeah, I just, I just like doing it. It's usually fun opportunities, too. I mean, you can't expect to do the things you want to do all the time. You know, sometimes you have to bite the bullet and go do, you know, radio shows and wherever. Podcasts. And these damn podcasts and stuff. But, um, no, I just, I enjoy doing it. I don't have a problem with it. Have you said no to anything? Yeah,

there's a couple things I've said no, too, but, um, they're kind of the way out there. I'm sorry. Have you said no to anything that you just did not want to do? Not because of a schedule conflict or anything like that. Yeah, they wanted to, I forget what the show was called, but they wanted me to go on like a blind dating show. And I was like, you will never, ever see me doing that. Yeah. That's me and Dance with Stars. Yeah. Yeah, don't do that.

If I ever see you on Dancing with the Stars, I might delete your number off my phone. Would you do Dancing with the Stars? No. You would never do it. Never ever do Dancing with the Stars. There's not a paycheck you could make to make you want to do that. Give me a number. If they paid you a million dollars. Ooh.

What about? Would you do it for a million? Yeah. Just don't have those moves? But come back and ask him in a few years. I mean, a million dollars means something to you differently in your life.

Come back and ask me if I'm a little bit. Right now I would not do it. No. I just don't want to. You know what? Michael Wattrop sort of messed that up for everybody. I mean, like if you had any ideas like I can go on here and I'm not going to look like a fool.

But then Michael Wachnerner. Then you got Michael wearing a bikini and it's like, you know what? I'm not going to do it. There isn't money worth it. Yeah. I just couldn't do the damn salsa and then be out of breath of wait for someone to judge my salsa or something. What was the TV show I recently saw you on?

It was the new Magnum PI. That was perfect for you. And I didn't even know you were going to be on it. It came, the show came on after a race or something. It was after something I was watching. It was after the AFC championship game. And so I happened to see. I'm like, Blaney just walked into this room.

With Magnum P.I. And there was a, who was the other, there was somebody else that was famous in that scene? There was that Ken Jong, the guy from the hangover. That's right. That's right. And there was a football player was on there, Ohio State football player. Oh, yeah, it was like Eddie George. Yeah.

Is that who was? Yeah. Massive individual. He could still play today. Is he on that show regularly? Because that's what it felt like when I was watching it. No. Oh, okay.

No. I think that was a one-off. All those three guys were doing one-off. I think so, yeah. All of y'all of y'all. Yeah. Interesting. But that was fun.

They filmed that in Honolulu, Hawaii. And I was down there for vacation already. Oh, you were? Yeah. So I was on another island, and they were shooting on my travel day, so I just kind of, like, stopped by. How inconvenient. Yeah. Yeah.

You got to be glad that's your cameo. I mean, seriously. Wow, I wasn't on the right island. But that's, it's like 50 miles did the next island. It was a quick little. That goes back to your original question, is how Blaney does a lot of things that, I mean, You would never stop your vacation, right? No, you wouldn't stop me.

Even if it was in a vacation land. I was traveling anyway. Yeah. I was traveling anyway. I was there for 10 days. I didn't, I wanted to do something. I can't do nothing for 10 days, I mean, I just can't do it. Who were you out there with?

It was myself, Darrell Wallace, his girlfriend, my ex-roomate, his girlfriend, and then the Hemricks, Daniel and Kenzie Hemmerich came out there. So it was a good time. There was a group of us. Chase Elliott was not out there, and he was invited. Oh, yeah, what was that? No, he was lying. No, there's a big conspiracy on whether you guys actually invite Chase Elliott.

We invite him everywhere. He just likes to say we don't when he says no to it. See, he doesn't realize when he says that stuff, he was invited to Hawaii and Disney, and he turned both of them down. And when he says that stuff on live TV, like he doesn't understand the hate that comes down on us. Because people don't know. People think that we're actually mad at him and not inviting him places. when we did.

Boy, this is, they've resorted the screen-graving text message conversations to prove that Chase actually turned them down or was invited.

Yeah. Are you glad that your big TV movie kind of like big cameo, Hollywood cameo was better than, oh, hell no.

Shark teammate? Shark Nato 8? Sharknato 24. I don't know what is it. What are you referring to? You remember Keselowski, his teammate was in Shark Native. Oh, I got you.

And he got eight. Did he get eaten? Yeah. Actually, the shark came down from the sky and ate them. I thought, that was pretty awesome for Brad. I thought it was funny.

I would love to get eaten by a shark and charmedo. I mean, that's the whole premise of the movie is to be completely awful. Idiot. Yeah. What's this about the Guinness Book of World Records? You were doing something with selfies yesterday and how'd that work out? Honestly, it wasn't my idea. No.

You must have not broke the record. No, we missed it by seven. What? You were that close to the finish part? So it was 100, we needed 169 to win. So it's however many stuff You can take in three minutes So the record was 168

And I think we would have beat it Like we started off kind of sloppy Like so they had I was here And they had kind of two rows of people coming in So you'd like just kind of go back and forth And some people were kind of lollygagging And wanted to take a picture themselves And like, oh, we got to be fast here

And the beginning was bad And then they started actually like Pulling people out and like throwing them in And they started to get faster at it But just missed it by six, man. Man. So you think it's attainable? It's obtainable. Yeah, I thought we were going to get it really easy. You know, I mean, you think of it if you get one a second, you know, that's 180.

Are you willing to go for it again? Maybe next year, Atlanta. Yeah. But it wasn't my idea. I didn't think I was going to have fun doing it because I'm like, I don't want to take selfies, you know. I don't want to be known for the record setter at taking selfies. Right. Of all the records in the Guinness Booker's Records. It was actually pretty fun. You get competitive at it, just like anything. But it was. I didn't hear it. I heard about it over and over about you doing it, but didn't hear how.

I didn't hear the results either, but that's why you didn't hear about it because you lost. Yeah. It seems like you would do tryouts for that. If people are going to lollygag and something like that, I mean, you're going for a record here. I don't care what it is. If you're going for a record, man, you need people, you want to know their 40-yard dash time, at least. If they're going to contribute to your record. Yeah, the guy from their lolly-gagug.

Guinness book was there too. And like, yeah. Yeah. So I got a question on Twitter from a follower on Dirtymo Media. The crazy, they want to know what the craziest thing I got away with that dad never found out about and I'll let you go first Ryan. That dad never found out about. There's a few things that I don't think he knows, but...

You're willing to admit. It's tough because my dad's not here to kick my ass. Right. He doesn't know about this. I'll talk about I got a real bad in speeding ticket when I was 18. I had two in one year. I was 18 and I haven't got one since, which is good. And that's because mom put the fear of mom in me.

Right. How bad was it? It was bad. It was Over 100? No, it was like 93 and a 45. That's bad. I know.

And it was a whole like court thing. It was reckless driving, right? Even though there wasn't anyone, I wasn't weaving in and out. So the story behind this. I wasn't just going 90, I don't just to do it. I was running from the cops. It was completely valid. I just robbed a convenience store and I was trying to get away.

So you've ever been a caraway. Speedway. A race at Carraway the day before on Saturday, and we were leading the whole race, and we had a restart, and Ross Kenseth just absolutely sent me into turn one. Fall back to second. Matt's son, Matt's son, Matt Kenseth's son. Ended up finishing second. Not to Ross. Ross finished third.

Jeff Fultz won the race. So I was replaying that in my mind the next day. I was dropping my sister off at gymnastics, and I was pissed off and angry, and I was just going. And I just passed the cop. and I saw him look at me. I was like, ugh. And I was stopped by the time he turned around and got to me.

I was like, I know. Sorry, but yeah, that's, dad doesn't know about that. He might find out. But wow, impressive that you even had, you got to do court dates and everything, and he didn't find out. Yeah.

And mom knew. Oh, yeah, mom knew. Mom was ticked off. I wonder if he knows, and he just had a conversation with mom, and mom said, I handled it. Everything's cool. Maybe.

Yeah, stand down. He might know. I know he didn't, for sure, know. that he wasn't aware of this for like the first year. Maybe he found out eventually, but it's in the past. I'm what are you going to do about now? But now I don't speed at all. I haven't had a speed ticket in seven years.

Did the cop tell you that he gave your dad his first ticket? Because that's the one I would always get. I got four tickets before I was 18, and each different cop told me, I gave your dad his first ticket. But I got four tickets before I was 18. I haven't had one since. My, to answer this follower's question, the craziest thing I got away with was probably mailbox baseball. Oh, my God. Oh, man. Yeah. That's, that's, that's bad. Wow. And he would have

destroyed me. Yeah. And he knew. And he'd have been right. Oh, yeah. And the one thing that turned me away from doing that was we, I had this S-10 with a sliding glass back door. Yeah. And we hit one of those plastic barn looking mailboxes, and part of it came in there and gave me a wealth on the neck. And then, and we missed the box one time and knocked a big dent in the bed of the truck. So I was like, all, enough of that. Is this the, uh, is this you and the Parker's? Is this the Parker, uh, mailbox? I can't, I don't want to implicate anybody.

Well, it's been implicated, I believe. It's already passed the time of limitations. It hasn't been. I think it's you in the park, Hank Parker. Give up your accomplices here. Cops are coming. This is. We would, um, the other thing, too, I think that I can't believe we tried was we would,

I lived on one end of his property. Dad's had like 300 acres. I lived on one side and we would, on half. Halloween only, we would kind of hike to the other side of the property on the back side. There's this road with all these trees, and it was perfect for hiding in those trees and tossing eggs at cars. And so, but the real thrill was trying to get across the property without dad figuring it out. Right. Because.

That's like knowing everything I know about your dad, that could get you shot. Yeah. You know, I mean, trespassing on his property, that'll get you killed. He would probably chase you down on foot and tackle you. Right, because didn't he show up at a banquet with his arm in a cask? Because he beat up somebody? Yeah, I got she. Yeah.

Really? You know that story? I did not know this story. So a guy was working on a tractor during the day on dad's property, fixing a big tractor. And he saw some deer, went to a bar later that afternoon, happy hour drinking with a buddy his telling his buddy about the deer. More they drank, the braver they got. They decided they were going to come back to Dad's property at dark, around dark,

jump the fence and shoot one of the deer, right? Dad and his farm manager guy are walking the power line, and they're in the tree line. Walking this power line just happened to be there at that day. Yeah. And they heard a gun shot, and they saw the deer run down the power line and fall down. And so they hid in the tree line and waited for those guys to come up. the deer and when they got to the deer dad just ran after the one with the gun yeah and he

tackled the guy and broke his hand on his face oh geez and he's awesome he didn't he's only reason why he stopped punching the guy is because he the guy he recognized the guy's voice once the guy's in his face I guess once he started saying hey man stop wow uh so dad held yeah dad held him there until the cops got there but um he ended up getting his cast on his arm and he went to the banquet with that cast and his tucks, his black and white cast. And he told everybody a lie. I haven't heard that story. He told everybody a lie about how it happened and why, you know, because.

What did he tell everybody? Well, he didn't, I don't, he didn't tell everybody, you know, he didn't want people to know about his deer. Right. He didn't want more people showing up trying to sneak into his property because he had some really big bucks on that property. And he would, he was, he wasn't hunting it. He was just wanting them to be there because he liked watching them.

And so he told a different. story. But, um, all right. He's pretty badass, though. Yeah. That's pretty badass. Yeah. I don't know you're going to get more badass than that.

No. Well, you're going to stick around. So, uh, let's get to, uh, one of our partners, Pristine. This will be fun trying to, trying to share with, uh, Blaney about what Pristine auction is. You know what pristine auction is? Yeah, I've heard of it. Yeah. Yeah.

You're about to know for sure. Yeah. You're about the school. You're about to know that, yeah, you've definitely heard of it. I think I've done some stuff. You have done some stuff. Have you? Yes.

Yes. All right. All right. Well, that's awesome. So we're both very fond of pristine auction. It's an online sports auction website where you can bid and win on authentic sports memorabilia. I said it. You did it.

From the comfort of your home. Wherever you're at, you can bid, obviously, if you have internet. They have daily auctions that start at $1. There's no waiting around for days. And these are daily auctions. That means that they happen each day and they're done. Daily means. Right.

There's always auction ending her. Hurry, hurry, get to it. Right, Mike? That's right. Yeah. And especially if you want to do the 10-minute auction, they have different formats. And one of the fun ones is obviously the 10-minute auction because it happens real fast. They pop up, 10 minutes.

Got to be quick. A lot of times in those 10-minute auctions, you can snag some stuff real cheap. That's right. You get it for people, figure it out. They guarantee the authenticity. I said it. He did it again. Authenticity of all their items, and everything you purchase comes fully authenticate.

Boom, man. Come go three for three, though, could we? Authenticated. Mike, give Blaney your sheet. Let's see if he could do authenticity and authenticated. Come on. Let's see what you got, Blaney. Where are we reading?

Guarantee the authenticity. I like how you have to be. Fourth paragraph. Blaney's looking at the read sheet here. They got it. Spelled out. How do you say it. They got it.

Junior Cated of how you spell it. See what you got, Blaney. See what you got. Al-feniticity. Which one? Fourth paragraph. Just authenticity. They guarantee authenticity of their items

and everything you purchase come fully authenticated. Damn. By only the trusted sources. He's so good. Look at that. He's so good. Some deals are insane.

Don't miss out. Here's one. There's a pretty slick. It says 11 by 14 of my win at the roval. A little card. That's right. I think I signed them.

You did sign it. Yeah. Go check out. This little picture of it there for you. Let me look at that thing. Yeah. Yeah. Usually when Dale reads this, you're bidding on sports memorabilia.

Billia. Billia. Memor Libya and authenticity. Your picture right now, it's not an 8 by 10, Dale. I made sure I picked that of 11 by 14. Way cooler. And it's only $8.50 right now, man. So Blaney, you might want to get on there and bid on your own.

Wait, Blaney's deal is only $8. Only $8.50 for Blaney. Come on, Blaney. He won the race, people. It's easy. Do we know where Darrell Cartrop ended up? from last week. That's right.

I was going to bid on it and, like, put it up in the studio somewhere just to... I actually saw something that is... That had me at hello. I mean, it was like a... What was it? It's a tombstone... What are those guns called? Hallitzer?

A halitzer? Howitzer? Yeah. I love howitzer. It's signed by a Val Kilmer who played Doc Holliday. Dang. Yeah, dude. That's cool.

Nice. It's on there right now. It still is? We need to get that thing. That's pretty cool. Okay. Put it in here. We need you had, dude.

Let's win something from Pristina put it in here. Well, all right. That's Pristine Auction, P-R-I-S-T-I-N-E-Oction.com. All the items are real signed by the real people. Real sign. Really signed by the real people. You remember signing those, Brian? No.

You don't. It's pictures of it. Yes. Did it last week. No, I thought it was a machine that signed them. I didn't know. There's a stamp. There's a stamp.

I heard about that. You had a stamp under the table. Yeah. This is pristine. It's pristine. No, I do. I do remember sign all that stuff. I signed it in Phoenix at the hotel in Phoenix.

They had these lovely conference rooms and I signed all the stuff in there. All right. So it's the real deal. It's a pretty cool stuff on there. And apparently, Mike, there's not just racing stuff. Howard's served on that. Yeah, that's right. That's right.

When you register, though, for pristine auction, be sure to click or select Dale Junior download podcast from the drop-down menu. That's how they know that we sent you there. And they'll continue to support this podcast. that you like. Pristineauction.com. All right, so we have a poll on Dirtymo Media's Twitter handle, Ryan. Yeah.

We put this out Friday. Which millennial NASCAR driver are you hanging out with? On a Friday night. On a Friday night. I'm a millennial? Well, yeah. Yeah. By definition, I feel like it.

Okay. By definition, what is technically a millennial? It's from 19, I want to say, 1984. What? Let me pull it up. That feels too old. That feels crazy. Yeah.

1981 to 1996. No. Yes. No way. Come on. It's going to be like 91. I'm on the back end of being a millennial, apparently. So what are the kids born after 96?

Are they Gen Z, I think? That just sounds like a disease. That sounds like a great video game. Gen Z. So it's Friday night. Which millennial NASCAR driver are you hanging out? with and the poll options were Ryan Blaney, Chase, Elliott, Alex Bowman, and Bubba Wallace. And right now Blaney is leading with 49% of the votes.

No way. Yeah, Chase Elliott's at 27%. Whoa. He wasn't invited to the poll if you ask Chase. Bubba Wallace is 17%. Alex at 7. Wow. Poor Alex, man.

We had a lot of people that said you'd either choose Ryan or Bubba because they're a package deal. Oh. Yeah. Yeah, you might get both. You might get all three. You might get all three, yeah, if Chase is invited. That's good.

That's good that people want to hang out with me. I don't know why, but that's good. I'm beating Chase in a poll. That's like the first time ever on an internet poll that I've ever beaten Chase Elliott. Did people know that Blaney was coming on the pot? They didn't know at the time. No, they didn't. This is a legit poll.

They didn't know you were coming on the show when he was pulling out. That's good. I feel a lot better about it now. Now, are you a fun guy to party with, though? I don't know. You have to ask other people. I'm not going to say I think of myself. Okay. Out of the other guys, who's the most fun guy to drink some beers with? Dale, do you know? This is another question. Thank you. That's very nice. Dale is in this poll. I don't know. I don't know. You can't really judge yourself. You can't really rate yourself on.

Did you vote, Dale? Who would you vote for? Like, who would you want to have a beer within that? And don't be biased just because I'm here. I know, I know. I'll be honest. I've done. I've done. I've done. I've done. I've done. drank beers with Ryan. A lot. He lives just down the road for me, can do that pretty much anytime I won't. It'd be cool to drink a beer with Chase it to Pool Hall.

Yeah. Oh, in Dawsonville. I've never been to the pool hall. Even though you've been to Dawsonville. I've been to Dawsonville a lot. And he's not... He's not taking me to the pool hall. That would be the first thing I'd want to do.

Chase probably doesn't go to the pool. I don't think Chase goes to the pool. I don't think he does. But damn, what else is there going on in Dawsonville? Nothing. That would be the first, nothing against Dawsonville. That would be the first thing I'd want to do. Yeah, like a little downtown of Dawsonville where the pool hall is and all that stuff.

Like that's awesome. There's a really cool place, and I've never been there. I'm going to tell him he has invited me to the pool hall. And Alex lives relatively close. He's sort of in that sort of same area as me and you. He lives in between me and you. Right. So I can drink beer with him any time.

I'd have you. Bubba is always going to be playing video games. Yeah. Yeah, pretty much. And he got it. Who's not on this list? I'm trying to think who's not on this list that should have been on this list that would be fun to drink beer with? Maybe kind of the underrated, the unspoken person.

Noah Gragson, somebody said Noah should be on there, but I'm like, no, not yet. He's not of age. He's not old enough, yes. That's a terrible idea. William Byron's pretty fun. Oh, stop. Stop, for real. He just turned 21.

He turned 21 at our banquet in Vegas. And that was like the perfect day to turn 21. Trouble. He's fun. He's a good kid. He's a good kid, but I couldn't picture him drinking anything but like a, you know, like a blood, you know. Caprison. Yeah, Capriza.

A Bartle's James Wine Cooler. You know? Something like a Mike's Hard Lemonade. You know. Yeah. I don't even, I guess now we've learned that he's probably doesn't constitute as a millennial. He's a Gen Z. He's a Gen Z.

Yeah, we've got to put him in the Gen Z poll. Yeah. got a segment column millennial words, Leah's going to lead off. All right, let's hear it. All right. So millennials basically have their own language. We're just trying to keep up. So I thought it would be a good idea.

See if Lainey knows these and if Dale doesn't. The first one is something that, sorry, I apologize in advance, Dale, you are guilty of. The term is called fubbing. Do you know what that means? Fubbing? I haven't heard of fubbing. I can think about a bunch of things Dale does that would probably be fubbing, but I don't know what fubbing means.

I've never heard that word. No, I haven't either. Not paying attention to something. Ding, ding, ding. Not paying attention to something is right? So, no, fubbing is snubbing someone to pay attention to your phone instead. Oh, he's a, oh, he's a fubber from way back. He's a fubber.

Oh, man, she's learned that about me in just a very short period of time. Dale is a fover. I wish I had a spelling of this. I didn't know it was a pH. Yes, P. I thought it was an F. No, yeah, like that would have gave it away. It was pH.

I would have known like phones. Well, it would have something to do with foes. It's P-H. That's the only word that begins with P-H. That's funny. All right, so what else you got? Do you guys know what Stan means? Say it again?

Stan. As in Stan. St-A-N. Stan. Do you know what that is? The M&M song? Yeah. That's the one thing that comes to my mind.

Yeah. I was thinking about like Stan like a guy's name. I'm curious to know if you guys have any of these. Stan is a combination of a stalker and a fan. Oh. I feel like, yeah. I think everybody has that. Everyone has one of those.

I would assume that a stalker probably is a fan. But not every fan is a stalker. No. Okay. But every stalker is fan. Yeah. So, let's see. Mike, what is that like?

Don't know. Don't know. Mike, tell us about it. Yeah, yeah, I got a lot of stands. I get you back for last week. A lot of stands. What if it's like a stalker name, a stand named Stan? Is that like a soccer fan named Stan?

That's a unicorn. Yeah. A stand named Stan. That's just like the Eminem song. Man. So for the record, nobody knew what that word was. Or fubbing. We've all, we've all.

We're all out of it. All right. What else? Oh, you got another. Yeah, I got one more. I bet you've probably used this on Chase. Pulled out the receipts when he says that you guys didn't invite me and you're like, yeah, I did.

Here's my proof. Pull out the receipts. No. Not the, I'd say like evidence. Yeah, that's what they call it. The receipts. The receipts. Like proof.

They picked a longer word to replace a shorter word. Text. That's the most millennial thing ever, right? Making things more difficult. So receipts aren't from just a store. No. They're like, it could be on social media or on your phone. I think they mean like red receipts, right, like on your phone or something like that.

I don't know. I see. Yeah. The red receipt. Yeah. Maybe that's what that means. We've talked about red receipts before. Have we?

On the show last year. Yeah. You got to have them on. I turn them on. I know. Me and you have them on. Do you have yours on? I don't think so.

I don't think so. I don't like that. It's courtesy. It is courtesy. But if I didn't, maybe I do, because I wouldn't be able to see that you've read it if I didn't have mine on. You can see that I read mine. No, that's what I'm saying. So I must have mine on, right?

We're having such a millennial conversation right now. I feel so much younger. You don't have yours on. He does. Oh, I don't. What is Mike? He's no millennial. Wow, that was, you went way out there for that one, didn't you?

Captain. What is he? Generation X. I'm assuming. Oh, he's an Xer. Yeah. Okay. Oh, like the...

Dale and I would be in the same generation, right? X or two, right? Yeah. WWE. WWE days. Our numbers are growing in here, Generation WWE. Generation Undertaker.

That's cool. All right, that was fun. Maybe we do that... If you ever come up on some new millennial words, please throw Mattis because we want to take a stab at it. I want to feel old. Yeah. All right.

What else we got? We got the hopsy. Oh, should we get to that? Because it's just so... I'm just looking forward to it, too. I'll be honest with you. Why don't you want to get to it? I just want to get to it because let's just be honest.

Maybe we'll be able to drink at work. That's what I'm saying. Let's do that. We did last week. Let's do it. We drank at work? Yeah, our beer toast. Yeah, beer toaster.

I love when the junior martialians. Oh, yeah. Congratulations on Michael and that's win. That was cool, man. That was awesome. Well, before we get to that, let's sit. You got a few more questions you wanted to ask. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Let's get a couple more quick. So we had an Xfinity race this weekend. Gotta say on the show, how awesome it was to see Jeffrey Earnhardt running well. Jeffrey ran great at Daytona, lesson laps. It is a restricting plate track. A lot of race car there and driver, but more race car. At Atlanta, though, that's a driver's race track, Ryan, wouldn't you say? Oh, sure.

And if he's going to go out there and show that he belongs, that would be the track to do it. A track like that. Yeah, I thought he did great. I watched him the whole weekend pretty much. and he got a restart on the front row. The last one, and restarting that top is so tough. You know that. He was supposed to be third, I think, and I was really happy.

I was like, oh, he's third. He's going to get second here and just top struggle getting going. But, no, I thought he did a great job. He doesn't have a full season. But if he keeps running like this, somehow, some way they're going to say, hey, man, we got a real opportunity to make the playoffs here. Is that something that creates more opportunities for Jeffrey? I hope so.

Yeah. But, man, that was, I didn't even know. what Jeffrey was capable of. He drove in the Canyon Series for DEI and had some great runs. Drove a race for us at Junior Motorsports in Richmond. Yeah. He ran into top 10 all night there,

finished 7 or 8th. So I was real happy with that. But other than that, he hadn't been able to showcase, I guess, what he's had, what kind of talent he's got. But he's doing it. And I'm excited. I'm going to look forward to the rest of the season seeing how he's doing.

A lot of people who up in arms about him driving Toyota, but he's created that relationship with Toyota. He's developed that relationship with them, and that's why he drives for that manufacturer. Pretty proud of Jeffrey. Can't wait to watch him continue to compete. Also, Dillard was talking about this new dirt track movie coming out. It's basically going straight to digital download.

John Travolta. You think? Yeah. That's your prediction. No, it's not a prediction. It's true. I've read it on the Internet, so it's true. John Travolta and Shania Twain.

Yes. It's a dirt track. movie. What's it called? Ah, dang it. Damn it, you're so excited about it, Matthew. Well, shoot, I didn't know we're going to talk about it in the show. Yeah, they're racing dirt late models. Right.

Right. Right. Yeah, yeah. It's been panned. Trading paint. Trading paint. It's, I haven't seen it, so I won't say what I think about it until I do, but... But you kind of already did. I mean... I think a lot of people have panned it to be bad. So, what are some of the worst racing movies? Oh, that's

easy. That one with Sylvester Stallone. Oh, that F1 movie. Driven. Driven. Oh, that's terrible. Driven was bad. He's picking up the quarters with his tires, with his right rear. Yeah, that's got to be it.

Driven was bad anymore. Driven was bad. There was a movie that had one of the quades in it. He was running street stock. I'm trying to look it up right now. Dennis Quaid? Yeah, I think it was Dennis or Randy. It was Dennis or Randy?

Yeah. One of them. It can't be Randy. It was awful. It was just awful. It was like one second he's running the street stock and then he's, you know, making out with some girl on a street stock, and it's just the worst thing I've ever seen. At any price?

At any price. I've never even heard of that. I haven't either. Well, buddy of mine, that's a modified racer. We've, like, taken this movie now, and he passed it to me, and then we keep on passing it to people. Because it's so bad. It's so bad to make it through the whole movie watching this thing. It is that bad.

I might have to buy that. At any price. What do you think is the best racing movie they've come out with? Last American Hero is my favorite, and it was made in 71 about Junior Johnson. And we got a picture of the cast on the wall over there next to the pinball machine. Yeah, Jeff Bridges, and was the lead actor, I believe, for Junior Jackson. But to me, there's some footage in there, and my grandfather Ralph is in that footage racing at Metrolinas. They mounted some cameras in some cars, and they're out there on dirt track,

and so you can see the number eight car of my grandfather Ralph on the track. And that, to me, is just crazy because there's not any other... video footage of Ralph driving and racing. Other than a race he won at Charlotte Motor Speedway. So that's just really cool for me. And plus, I thought the storyline was raw and authentic and true. So that was my favorite. And I'm a huge Jeff Bridges fan.

So everything he does is awesome. Yeah. Well, you about you? What's your favorite? I like that, remember that Rush movie that came out? Rush was great. With James Hunt. Yes.

That scene where he's putting the helmet on and the hospital is just epic. They did a good job of that movie. I thought that was cool. I like James Hunt. I thought he was a pretty unique character over in the F1 world. Would Senna qualify? That's not a motion picture. It's more of a documentary.

It's a documentary, but I think that would be top of the list just because it's true. I think you have the docs in there. Yeah. Docs there. Okay. That would be number one for me then. Then I think Senna's up there. Sinna's up there.

Okay. For sure. Sina is good. Dale. the documentary Dale. If you want to know the whole thing about Dale Earnhardt, the documentary Dale is the only

thing you need to watch. How about that unrivaled episode was pretty good. I didn't know a lot of that stuff. Unpopular or unpopular to some. I think I would say that Strucker Ace and Six Pack were great racing movies. Oh yeah.

There are people, though, that don't think they're great racing movies. It might be my favorite, but I don't think it qualifies as an incredible motion picture. That does not. But, you know, it was basically, I don't know if this is a good comparison, but of its time, it was sort of like Talladega Knights is everybody's favorite. And now, like, that was so, it was funny.

It was Kenny Rogers running up the stands at Atlanta. I mean, that's fast. I got a question. If you want to go back to the worst racing movies, would you put three starring Barry Pepper? Three would be in the worst racing movies for sure. And I met Barry Pepper, super nice guy. I'm extremely dedicated to making that as good as it could be. But I think that the budget killed them.

And the writing was horrific. The screenplay was just, yeah. It was horrific. And it was incorrect. There's just so many inconsistencies in there. People would come up and go, man, that was crazy that happened to you. And I'm like, well, it didn't happen to me. And I don't know why it was in the movie or it didn't happen to that.

But you mean they didn't meet Neil Bonnet by running through the woods and getting chased by people out of a racetrack? That's not how hanging out at the Her Locker burger. Oh, man. We're talking about racing movies. Ryan Blaney, you're a big Star Wars fan,

George Lucas, I imagine you think he's pretty awesome. For making that stuff, yeah. Right, yeah. So I watched Talladega Nights for the first time with George Lucas at Skywalker Ranch.

No way. What? What? I knew that was going to blow his mind. Yeah, it was mine. I'd love to go there. It's in Sonoma Valley. Yeah, the ranch.

Yeah. So we were at the racetrack racing that weekend, and somebody said, hey, you want to see it early. It wasn't out yet. And we're like, yeah. And they were like, well, you're going to go to Skywalker Ranch and watch it. And we're like, even better. So we go to Skywalker Ranch, and we're sitting in this theater. And here comes George Lucas, sit down behind us, sat down the row right behind me, right over my shoulder.

And we watched the movie. And I loved the first half. half of the movie. Like, I thought, as I'm sitting there watching it, and he's laughing, of course, I'm paying attention to see if he thinks it's good. But I thought the first half was really good, because it was supposed to be silly, funny, and it was. And then the second half sucked. I was so disappointed with the second half of the movie, them running across the finish line and all that silly crap. There's some funny parts in that movie. I mean, people ask me, they're like, does that movie make you mad? I'm like, no, it's funny. It doesn't make me

mad even. Why would it make me mad? I thought it was, of course, I got the chance to be in it a small piece. But I thought anytime they do a race a movie, even the bad ones, I'm happy about it. Because it's just the fact that they even want to make a movie about racing for me is a good thing. Except for driven. Well, let's just be honest. Well, I don't really care.

I don't care about it. I don't care about it. It was just awful. Well, that was an F1 movie. Yeah. Indy car. Wasn't Indy car? Yeah, Indycar.

I'll let the open wheel guys be mad about that one. I really don't care. All right, so we got a new partner for the show today, and I'm pretty excited about this one. It just so happens that me and Ryan would like to drink beer. So this is perfect. Yeah, it's perfect. And Ryan said before he was coming over that we were going to have some drinks,

but he didn't know we recorded at 9 o'clock in the morning, so he didn't bring beer. But no, we're going to have beer today. Perfect. This is the curing of beers. Okay. All right. Not the king of beers.

curing of beer. Hopsie is the company that's going to bring beer to the podcast today. Basically, it's having a tap in your house. Brilliant. It is. So having a tap in your house up to now has been extremely difficult because of the cleaning up and all that. But basically, this is having a tap in your house in the comfort of your own home without the price tag that you come to expect. You can have your own beer bar at home with what is called the sub. This is the sub here. The sub. Yeah. It's a countertop appliance that fits neatly in your kitchen, anywhere you want to put it, your bar, you're living room. It's a keg-a-rater.

That's right. It's basically a kegirator and a curing married together. This stuff creates extremely cold beer, I've been told, and we're going to try it out today. So you haven't tried it yet? This is the first time. Okay. It is supposed to be extremely fresh and very, very cold.

It doesn't make a mess. You don't get sticky beer all over the place and ruin your bar top. And the other thing, too, that I thought was really interesting is that you can, there's all types of beers from all kinds of brewers all over the country, like small brewers, big breweries. They all can provide beer for this. For the sub? For the sub.

That's so cool. That's cool. I was wondering what beer it is, do they make their own beer? Nope. They have a long list of breweries that they've partnered with. That's cool. They will ship these many kegs to your home, and it's easy to use. So let's drink.

How about that? Is that the next part? Is this like breakfast drinking? Yeah, let's try it. You got cups right there. You could be the hostess with most. That thing's nice, man. He puts the glass underneath the tap.

That's a terrible poor right there. What are you doing? You got to tilt that glass, brother. Oh, my gosh. That'll be yours. There you go. 45 degrees. There you go.

You got fired from being a bartender. Right away. Look at this. Trying out our hopsy. Oh, look at that pour. That's a nice head right there. New weekend gig for you. Tenderdale.

Bartender Dale. Better than water cooler, Dale. Bartender Dale. That should be the next one, man. Yeah, that's it. That'd be hilarious. We're going to call it now. Bartender Dale.

Who else? I do. I'll take one. It's cold. I don't think anybody's going to turn you down. Poor Dale's going to be working overtime here. No, they're 100% right. It is cold.

That thing's cool. It's so small, too. It's like you can hide that thing on a desk. That is cold, man. It smells nice. Here we go. This is a, I think this is a, IPA, so.

It's, it's like it. There we go. That's beer. It's, yeah, it's an IPA. I think that's got hops in it. Yeah, it's hoppy. It's hops and wheat and stuff.

That's really good, man. I like the fact that Dale hasn't spoke yet because he's just too busy drinking it. Boy, it's cold, though. It's cold. You know what? A cold beer, it doesn't really, like, I, I mind less about how it tastes if it's cold. If it's cold, I can drink it. Oh, yeah, you can take a terrible beer and make it cold, and it's really good.

Right. That's good stuff. Wow, this is cool. And so, like, how many different flavors do it? Did they provide us? We got two of those. You could see they're these little like, they look like soda cans, man. They're these little mini kegs.

And all you've got to do is open the thing up and put the darn thing in there and shut it and put the wire up through there. And it's so easy. Like, I could do it? Do you want to tell us about what we're drinking right now? Two quarts. How much alcohol are we drinking? 4.9. Oh, that's not too bad.

Here, I'll pass it around. Let's take it. All right. Let's see this here. Yeah, you just basically, they got a long list of partners, a lot of different breweries that will ship right to your house. Oh, there you go. and it's obviously easy to use. You throw that little thing in there, Mike, and it goes to town.

So are we going to leave this in our studio, or are you taking it home? What do you think? We'll leave it in here. Yes. And we'll get some more, we'll get another variety. We'll get some more variety of beers. Yeah, that's nice. All right, that's Hopsie, everybody.

Is there a discount code? To activate this discount code, Dale Jr., D-A-L-J-R, no space, Go to tryhopsy.com, T-R-Y-H-O-P-S-Y dot com slash Dale Jr. Use the promo code Dale Jr. You get a sub-home draft machine, two mini-kegs of beer, basically equivalent to two six-packs.

You get two hopsy glasses and a free membership in the monthly beer club. All of this is 99 bucks. Oh, beer club. That's cheap. Yes, beer club. All right. That's awesome.

Tryhopsy. com. B-R-Y-H-O-P-S-Y-S-Y dot com slash Dale Jr. Don't forget the promo code, Dale Jr. That's not my favorite. That's a cool deal, man. Yeah, man. That's an awesome, awesome thing.

What do I, so is this like, since I'm promoting this, do I get one? You get a cup of beer. Oh, I'll get me a cup. I'll use that discount code, though. I think that that would be the least we could do for having you on the show is to get you a hopsy. I'll at least do the discount code. Yeah.

Please do. The bad thing is I had to ask to be on the show. I didn't get approach to be on the show. I had to ask Dale. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Yeah, that's true. I had to invite myself. Oh, man.

Yeah. Yeah, it's not like it sounds. Yes, it is. Yes, it is. Yeah. Well, so, because Dale Jr. just happened to tell us, he's like, hey, guys, Blaney's going to be on the show on Monday. Almost as if it was his idea. I don't know what night I text you.

I might have had a few, and I was like, man, I need to be on your damn podcast. Well, I watched the, I watched Tony's, and that was cool. Did you like it? Oh, yeah, it was great. Yeah, Tony was, I like how you guys went over his best interviews. Oh, yeah. That stuff makes me laugh. He was always so funny with that.

We went over your best interviews. We're still waiting on some good ones, though. Yeah. I don't have any good ones. Well, no, not like Tony-esque. I don't think anyone's going to get Tony-esque. Have you ever had any of those? Because I don't remember any.

I said a bad word on TV before, and I didn't get in trouble for it, which was surprising. I said the S-word on TV. Chug. Yep. Keep your cups. We're keeping the cubs. Keep the cups. Chuck, chuck, chuck, chuck.

That's a boy, Blaney. Crushed it. Hey, that's what a pole leader looks like. That's a damn pole leader right there. That's what a Friday night with a millennial looks like. I cannot stand IPA. I don't either. I can only have a couple.

I like blondes and... You like beer. You like beer you can drink. Yes. This man, I will tell you can drink more beer than anybody I know. It is unreal. It's unbelievable. It's a compliment.

I've seen it. I've experienced it. Oh, whatever. Like, please. When's the last time we've drank beer together? We've, not that long. It's been a while. It's been a while for me, too, so don't worry.

I mean, I can tell you times we drank beer, and then all of a sudden he brings out water hoses and starts watering down everybody. Yeah. I was bored. I was bored. Yeah. There have been times. I was a water hose.

Hey, I remember that. I was trying to wet down the dirt track. I remember that night at those. You just had to be standing on. No. No, no. It was actually inside the dirty dome. It was just...

I ran a... I tried to sneak off and go sleep on the couch over there, you know, behind the... Yeah, that didn't have... That didn't work out without. I hosed him down. Inside. Oh, man. Yeah.

Got his TVs wet, everything. Didn't care. Didn't care. I remember that one night I was at the town. And we, I got over there. I got over there a little late. Oh, yeah. You guys just got done doing something.

Doing something over there. And it was not good. That was a late night. Yeah. That was good. They got beds over there. That's fine. Yeah.

Well, that was great when I lived over there because it was like 200 yards through the woods. I just walked back to my house. It was great. Yeah. It was way easier. All right, everybody. It's Dale Jr. For the Dale Jr.

Download podcast. We got our guest, Brian Blaney here with Mike Davis. This is the Ask Junior Live portion of the show on YouTube, presented by Nationwide. Our partners at Nationwide are sponsoring this part of the show. get right to it. We've probably got some great questions coming in. We decided to have Blaney, our guest, part of the Last Junior Live, so let's see what's up. Chatroom is populating right now and a bunch of questions coming in. Kimberly H. hitting us up using hashtag Ask Junior. What's the most memorable story you can share from when you two were neighbors?

memorable. One of my favorite nights was you came over for my Pocono win. Oh, God, that was fun. That was so cool, man. man. Man. You brought coolers over and everything. I got back to the house and you already had like two giant coolers ready to go. And I thought that was the coolest thing. You guys came and hung out.

You and Andy came over. The first win kind of thing, you're going to be late because you have media to do and all those obligations, Victory Lane and everything. So the driver always kind of ends up getting there late and the team can kind of kickstart the party and he live right next door. I'm thinking, hey, somebody did it for me. and I wasn't the only one that brought coolers and beer, but I was like, you got to bring coolers,

you got to bring beer. Nobody, the team is flying home. You're flying home. Nobody can do it. Nobody can set all this up. And so luckily, you know, you got some other friends besides me, but several of us brought beer and coolers

and all kinds of stuff over there. And so when he got home, it was just turning the key and we were on. That was a fun night. Party organizer, Dale is pretty good, right? I mean, he can, he can throw one together pretty quick. He can. Yes, he can.

That was pretty neat. We raised that night. It was so fun. We did, man. That was fun. That was an awesome time. It was one of my favorite moments. It's only one first win.

All right. Heavy Huffman. Have you ever played a practical joke on somebody at the racetrack? Or when your fellow drivers away from it? Or have you had one pulled on you? Practical joke. At the track. I say away from the track, too, man.

As long as it's driver to driver. I probably had. I can't think of any time you've done that at the track because, I mean, it's typically all business at the track. You're not sitting there messing around. I would think. I'm trying to think, honestly, if you have, or have one, I don't even remember one pulled on you. I don't know. Yeah, not a lot at the track. I mean, you know, you kind of work in it and kind of all serious to track. There was 2014, actually, we were, me, I was driving trucks there for Brad, and so it was Bubba Wallace, and we were on a rain delay at Dover. You know, it rains all the time in Dover. So,

I got, you know, all the tire guys, they stack tires four high. And there was a port of John, right where he went and they were stacked high in there so I put like five tires high in front of the Fort John Doord and trapped a man so that was pretty funny but that was only under rain delay everything else is like Now there are people that do it I mean like Henry Benfield is the most epic person ever to pull pranks and we I think we've talked about that on the podcast yeah there's a there's a the story that pops

into my mind is dad and Rusty Wallace were going back and forth and dad put sardines under the seat of Rusty's car right up on the floorboard on top of the tailpipes. Wow. And, yeah, so that was apparently an extremely terrible experience for Rusty when he got in there and he had to practice the car. When practice starts, it starts. There's no, you know.

And so he got in there and ran a few laps and got that floorboard real hot and cooked them sardines and it started stinking up that whole interior of the car and it smelled like that the rest of the weekend. That's like an intricate. Ruthless. Ruthless plan. That's good. He put thought into that.

Have you ever heard of Henry Benfield? So Henry Bidfield worked, he worked for Junior Johnson, and he was awful, bad, bad about pulling pranks and just getting people back. What was the one thing where the officials pissed him off? At Phoenix, this was 2002, I was working with Jimmy Spencer. Henry was actually driving Jimmy's bus, and this was back before there was a tunnel at Phoenix, and so you had to cross the track at the backstretch. to get into the infield.

And they had locked it and closed it off right before practice. And Henry had gone to the store. They didn't let him in. So when you get stuck at that moment, you're out there all day now. You can't get in. And so he went back to the store. He was really infamous for using X-Lax,

chocolate X-Lax. And Vizene, both of which produced the type of effect that X-Lax does. I mean, right, Vizene, and he'll put it in your food. He knew that eating Vizene. Like, this is how bad this is. researcher. He's, he, yeah, he blazed trails on this. So basically, he went and he got these donuts and he put, he dipped them, he melted the X-Lax chocolate down, put the donuts in it, made these really hot donuts, and then handed them out to all the security guards. And it was

a cold day in Phoenix. It was in November, so they were just pounding them. I mean, boom, boom, boom. And then, uh, he had padlocked all of the port-a-johns. This is intricate, you. He pounded, except one in the infield, which he dipped the toilet. paper in gasoline or doused it in gasoline that won padlock so this is true this was ruthless stuff yeah he was doing and then of course that was on a Saturday on Sunday there were all new security guards none of them showed up the next day for the cup race and that was just a day in the life of Henry Benton he was doing that stuff a lot that's rough man and it wasn't like the gates closed like it wasn't their decision not their fault like practice started that's that's

terrible I don't know what would be worse the the vizine or X-lax donuts or the gas-covered toilet paper. I got to feel on the gas-covered toilet paper would be way worse than that. Especially after. Well, I mean, once it's... Yeah. I don't know.

Because you've already been through them. I don't even want to go into what that experience must be like, detailing, like... Yeah. Sorry. That's all we talk about on our podcast. But if it's gas covered, then it's soaked. So you're going to be all right. It's wet toilet paper, damn it.

That's true. You probably wouldn't go to that extreme. You got to do something. It's terrible. We always did... like around the shop just messing with people we would do the tie wrap around the drive shaft

get the big industrial tie wraps and you know go around I did that to your car I think you did yes you did and I forgot about that and so you know it's like tick tick tick and you're like what's going on send it to the shop

that's right and when you had the old door handles where you put your hand up under there grease up under the end yeah so Amber's the chime in right now and she says she wants to have confirmation so it's not you that's locking bubba in his bus locking him in his bus supposedly bubba had to come out of the hatch again in detona you know his

door locks on him somehow and so he gets locked in his bathroom and has to escape out of the hatch so they did it again this week the daytony did it again and i guess the door to his bathroom gets locked something happens to where he's locked in his bus and can't get out i think either the main door to the bus or whatever so he's got to go up through the hatch it happened last year in Dayton, I believe. That's happening again this year. That's pretty bad. He can't get out from the inside of his main door.

I've had it happen. His door is messed up, though, by the way. Right. Like, it's hard to close, hard to open sometimes. He has to fix it. But, yeah, no, it's not me. That's mean. Like, if I, I'm not going to make you late for practice.

That's the point of bailing out your emergency hats behind the toilet. Was he late for practice or something? No, he just had to climb out again, the roof. I would just love to be the person that's sitting there in the lot and seeing and Bubba Wallace in his fire suit or whatever, climbing out of a hatch like an astronaut. You had the roof hatch over the bathroom to irrigate the bathroom. I'm not that mean.

I won't do that. That would be such a great way to get somebody back. If you got wrecked by another driver would be to lock them in their motorhome right as practice is starting because that's like a driver's worst fear is to miss practice. Have you ever had dreams about missing practice? You know why? Because he has. He's been late.

I've been late for practice before. right. I got on the wrong plane once, or I missed the plane one time for a weekend, and that was terrible. But never missed practice. But yeah, that would be a good idea locking them in. That would be nice. You can't go back on the racetrack and turn them around anymore. So that'd be a fun way to get them. Resort to the motorhome lot. That's where that carries on. Now, we've had a few of these come in, so we have to ask it.

Tim Kay wants to know Blaney, did you ever get back on the free beer program? after Martinsville. Martinsville. Oh, and Dale Jr. Yeah, because obviously y'all drank beer. Beer together. You were on me in the fence first. Oh, let's not the same.

Let's hash this out. Perfect. So what happened? So y'all got into, y'all got a little bit of a mess there, right? We raced each other hard for 2017. For a couple weeks there. Yeah, like Phoenix.

Phoenix and Martinsville, race each other hard. And I just thought we were having fun. I didn't have any hard feelings about it. I didn't either, but... Yeah. I mean, especially when I got spun out, I was, I was like, God, I'm behind, you know, like, you get, you get that feeling of, I'm in the back now, but I wasn't that mad about it. Yeah.

I didn't mean to turn you. I mean, it wasn't like, it wasn't like, I'm going to turn down. Yeah. No, it's like... Turned me weird because you hit me in the right rear quarter panel. Yeah, because I was like, I was kind of outside and, like, you moved up, and I was just, it just happened. Like, just kind of come together, and it was... Yeah.

I didn't hear anything. It's all good. It wasn't delicious or nothing, but... Is there people out there that if you turn them, you would not feel bad about it one bit, one bit? Just yet. Yeah, there's some people that, yeah, if you end up turning them or on accident.

You still sleep well at night. Yeah, I won't turn anybody on purpose, but like if an accident happens, I'd be like, well, he blocked or something like that. Have you ever, let's not even talk a cup. Let's go back to super late models, Zinclair, K&M, whatever. Did you ever run over anybody? Like on purpose?

On purpose. Like, I'm going to spin you out. Yeah. Like, I'm going, you may be mad of going to this corner and dumping you. Not that I can remember. Really? No, I don't, I don't, no. You're that much of a gentleman?

Yeah, I mean, I haven't really, no. That's surprising. I don't like wrecked anybody. Did you ever race against Ross Kenseth again after that situation? Because then you ended up with a speeding ticket on top of it. A little bit. I just forgot about that thing. You move on.

I move on fast, man. I don't hold grudges or nothing like that. stuff happens on the racetrack. Most of the time, they're unintentional. You know, I mean, you're mad at the time, but that person doesn't mean to screw you over. You know, it just happens. Yeah.

So, you know. But what about you, Dale? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. It's like the Kool-Aid guy there. He's like, oh, yeah. I mean, I've ran over a couple people. Yeah.

And nothing you're proud of, but, man, God, sometimes you just make terrible decisions. Yeah. You know? It's hard in the heat of the moment. Yeah, in the heat of the moment. You're like, I'm going to get you and you do it and you're a couple weeks go by and you're like,

I didn't have to do that. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Stephen Gibson chiming in. Ask Ryan, well, you know, I'm asking you right now. Ryan, what concerts have you been thinking about going to this year? Any on your radar? Yeah, there's a couple on my radar. I went to a couple of shows back to back. A week before Daytona, I saw Jamie Johnson in Cherokee, North Carolina at the Harris Casino and Resort. up there and it's very weird. Cherokee is a dry county

and then they have a massive Harris which I thought was a little strange in the middle of the mountains. But he played up there so that was cool to see him on Friday night and then it was only about an hour drive to Asheville where I saw a couple heavy metal bands play in Asheville. So I had two

good shows back to back of different genres but you ever heard of Coulter Wall? No. Oh yeah. You know Coulter? He's a Canadian. up from there, and he's a really great country singer. Very Western. Very Western.

And he's playing in Athens, Georgia, on our off weekend. So I might be going down to see him. So that one's on my radar currently. That would be funny if you didn't invite Chase to Athens, Georgia. Yeah, I already talked to him about it this weekend. He said no. He said no, obviously. He said maybe, so that means no.

That means no. He's waiting out to see if he's got better options. That's right. All right. The greatest handle so far today. Grumpy seamstress would like to know. Blaney, has Sturgel destroyed anything in the house yet? Sturgle, my dog.

No. Great name for a dog, by the way. Thank you. After Sturgle Simpson. Sturgle Simpson, yeah. No, he has actually done pretty good at not chewing furniture or anything like that. Got him trained to go out and do his business? He's off training right now, actually.

But no, he did really good at the potty training stuff. You know, it's rough for like the first week. Right. Because they just don't know any better, right? So, but he's been really good. I dropped him off last week, and he's there in Andy's place for three weeks. So I'm excited to get him back, man. You know, I've lived by myself for a long time and, you know, I liked it.

And then it had a dog for a couple months, and I miss him. Yeah, once you do it and you check it and you check. check that box, it's hard to, can't you uncheck it? Like when we had a boxer killer and when he passed away, I was like, I got to get another dog, man. This is a spouse just ain't the same. You get one right away. Yeah, but no, he's been good. He's a good dog. So, he's getting big. All right, Amelda wants to know this from Dale. Tilly the Mules. It's like pets and stuff. It's like the pet hour here on DJD. Tilly the Mule seems like a nice addition to your fam. What's the story behind you and Amy getting Tilly?

is this new donkey, big giant female donkey. Basically, the, I don't really know the whole story, but I'm thinking that where it was being boarded wasn't an option anymore. And so those people knew that we had a place for it to be and a barn and all that. And with, I don't know, Amy's just really passionate about animals and said, hey, you know, you mind if we take Tilly in? And we have a small miniature horse, very old miniature horse that's been on our property for a really long time. And Amy's like, man, maybe they'll like to be, you know,

she should like some company. So Tilly's out there now. We've actually remodeled the barn a little bit to allow for Tilly to get in there and do what she needs to do and hang out when it's cold. but it's all Amy, man. Amy's big into, you know, rescue and so forth and taking care of animals. And, you know, it's what you wanted to do.

So I'm all for it. I was very excited. I love donkeys. Donkeys are cool. Hey, uh, it's a big. Donkeys are cool, man. This thing is huge. Really?

Is he friendly? It's a girl. Oh, okay. Is she friendly? Yeah. Real, real kind and gentle, but damn, it's big. I'm, you got to come see it, Mike. I'll come see it.

I don't know. we can, I don't know if I can help you understand how giant this donkey. Is it the size of a horse? Yes, it is. It's the size of a horse? I'm sure it's not a horse. It's not a horse. Okay.

But it's huge. Are you sure? You positive? You bought it. Yeah, could be a horse. They might have duped you. Appreciate everybody for tuning in for Ashtonor Live. Thanks, Ryan, for sticking around to be part of Ask Junior Live for our fans on YouTube.

Thanks for following the Dirtymoe Media handles. And thanks nationwide for presenting. White flag, last lap Last lap We talked about White flag We know Blaney's not going to turn you

Well, he ain't going to feel bad about it That's funny No Keep talking about white flag White flag right there White flag Dale one year ago today You and I were wrapping up

A week at the Winter Olympics Where it was on this very day Dale Jr says to me I got a good idea Let's go skiing And so I said Okay Dale It sounds like a great idea

And that's where That's the last time I remember having two good needs knees. That's the last, it was a year ago that I remembered having a right knee that actually worked well. Since then, it is not. Do you remember much about our South Korea trip?

I do. It was great. It was a good time, one of it. A trip of a lifetime. It was a trip of a lifetime. It was a lot of fun. And I did enjoy the doctor appointments after when we got back to figure out what was going on with my knee.

I took a lot of spills. Dale Jr. did not. I just learned on New Year's. and it was in I mean I just couldn't believe we were skiing in South Korea that was a trip it was cool it was cool I thought I had learned but then I realized I did not learn all there is to learn about it because I never made it down uh in one piece all right our numbers uh suggests we have a ton of new listeners if everyone who listened also the one thing I do remember about that was I went back I went down the double black diamond or what the hell ever okay that's debatable I don't know that you did

I did I don't know that you did it was the most frightening thing that I've ever done because I was I got to going too fast yeah and just had I had zero control but I stayed up I didn't go down yeah but it was a I was not in control the entire time so you're saying because there's no one to really you know that one mic at the bottom of the hill that's basically a straight wall I went down that one I know which one you're talking about I don't remember seeing you come down that doesn't matter you're saying so you're saying it didn't happen I'm saying it's debatable. I don't care whether he thinks it happened or not.

I don't know that he did. I'll tell you right now, it was the most frightening thing I've ever done in my life. It's like jumping all a four-story building. It might have been a single black diamond or maybe a blue diamond or something. I don't care. It doesn't matter. It was terribly frightening.

And that's all, I mean, that was a great day, but boy, that was a terrible decision at the end for me. I don't know what the pecking order. I don't know how that works. Do you remember what slopes I was skiing?

I honestly, I'm asking because I don't. I mean, like, step above the bunny hills. We went all the way to the top and just sort of took the real easy. Yeah, probably like the greens.

Yeah. It goes like, green or blue? Is that the green or blue? Yeah. Do you do this? I snowboard. You do?

Are you good? I'm never skied, but I enjoy snowboarding. Man, it's fun. Skiing is so fun. I need to learn. I need to learn how to ski, but. Well, I imagine snowboard is fun as well,

but I have, I've been dying to go back. Yeah. Maybe we try snowboarding. That, I just like, you can snowboard. I mean, it's not like we're skiing together anyways because you're right i don't have to do it with you after all your after all your

falls after about two one after one trip you don't want to be seen with me after one after one when i get to the bottom i'm going back to the top and we're completely we don't see each other the rest of the day till we get done except except i remember laying there in the snow and i hear him laughing and because he's i happen to fall he's on the sky lift and he's going right over me as i'm looking straight up into the sky. That's just good timing right there. It was awful timing. Did you see him fall?

Yes. It was embarrassing. I just like how Dale was like, oh, it was a great day. Meanwhile, Mike's laying there with a knee. I had Dale laughing at me, and then I had this little,

like, six-year-old South Korean girl come up and just kick up a bunch of snow that just went all over me as she goes and blows by me, and it was just like, the most mortifying moment of my life right here. And it hurt. You'll have that.

He will. Snowboardings, all right. You'll, your wrist will hurt a lot after you snowboard because you're catching yourself after you fall. Is it better on your knees? He has very weak joints. His knees are terrible. Your right knee. So it kind of depends how you board, but you turn like with your back foot, right?

So like if you have the right knee on the back, maybe it's going to. I don't know, but you turn a lot with your knees because you have no poles to kind of move you. You wouldn't be good at it because you can't turn with your knees. He didn't say that though. You do. You use a lot of your knees and hips to turn the board. Yeah, I would suck at it. I won't try that.

So maybe you should just go back to skiing. Or maybe I should do neither. Or maybe you should do neither. Maybe you could bring a tube up and just tube down these slopes. That'd be awesome. I've never seen anyone do that. Those trees feel the same when you run into them. Whether you're on a tube or a snowboard or a ski.
