00:00:27.675 --> 00:00:30.375
Uh, James is live on Fox right now, Uhhuh,

12
00:00:32.355 --> 00:00:33.375
to hear us talk.
13
00:00:33.595 --> 00:00:34.975
Yes. While he's, you know,
14
00:00:35.105 --> 00:00:36.975
we're filling in good substitute teachers.
15
00:00:37.655 --> 00:00:40.655
a cool, fun substitute teachers, right? I mean, yeah.
16
00:00:40.655 --> 00:00:42.335
You always wanted to have like the, the sub
17
00:00:42.335 --> 00:00:43.735
that was a little hungover and you just got
18
00:00:43.735 --> 00:00:45.055
to watch Bill Nye the science guy.
19
00:00:45.115 --> 00:00:47.855
Yep. Roll in the TV monitor. Yeah. Yeah.
20
00:00:47.855 --> 00:00:48.895
That was the way to go. The tv.
21
00:00:48.995 --> 00:00:50.495
That's when you knew you were gonna have a good day.
22
00:00:50.575 --> 00:00:52.335
I think he'd be a great substitute teacher in real life.
23
00:00:52.355 --> 00:00:53.415
Oh, I don't know, man.
24
00:00:54.695 --> 00:00:58.015
I spend a lot of time around kids, around my, my daughter
25
00:00:58.155 --> 00:00:59.455
and her friends and like,
26
00:00:59.455 --> 00:01:00.895
I like my daughter and her friends.
27
00:01:01.005 --> 00:01:03.495
Yeah. 'cause I have to say that 'cause they're here. Uhhuh.
28
00:01:03.835 --> 00:01:05.655
Um, I don't like anybody else's kids.
29
00:01:05.995 --> 00:01:07.935
My kids are asleep, so I'm sure yours are fine.
30
00:01:07.935 --> 00:01:09.735
He can say whatever you want about them. Rossi's.
31
00:01:09.735 --> 00:01:12.015
I, I met Rossi's baby the other day. He does have a kid.
32
00:01:12.015 --> 00:01:13.695
Kid. He's fine. Yeah, he was, he was fine. Fine.
33
00:01:13.975 --> 00:01:16.335
I mean, I don't like that they prioritize him over me.
34
00:01:16.365 --> 00:01:18.495
I've known him longer. That's true. You know? Yeah.
35
00:01:19.055 --> 00:01:20.295
I think I've spent more nights in
36
00:01:20.295 --> 00:01:21.495
that house than that baby has.
37
00:01:21.875 --> 00:01:24.255
Uh, yeah. He is two weeks old, so that tracks Yeah.
38
00:01:24.325 --> 00:01:27.295
Math tracks on that. Yeah. I'm like, I've spilled more.
39
00:01:27.965 --> 00:01:30.095
Yeah. Yeah. How are your kids doing?
40
00:01:30.165 --> 00:01:31.295
They're asleep, like I said.
41
00:01:31.395 --> 00:01:34.615
So it's been a miserable existence so far today. .
42
00:01:35.075 --> 00:01:37.175
But they're out here, baby, and they're track babies
43
00:01:37.235 --> 00:01:38.295
and raise 'em the right way.
44
00:01:38.295 --> 00:01:40.575
And they're cashed out now, so we're good to go. Yeah. Yeah.
45
00:01:40.645 --> 00:01:43.135
Were, are you guys having fun? Yeah, baby. Yeah.
46
00:01:43.925 --> 00:01:46.335
What we drinking? I, I don't have one.
47
00:01:46.395 --> 00:01:48.455
I'm on dad duty today. I mean, let's go pass. You can't one.
48
00:01:48.555 --> 00:01:49.615
You wanna pass me one? Okay.
49
00:01:49.735 --> 00:01:50.775
I mean, this is my last one,
50
00:01:50.875 --> 00:01:53.135
but I guess you're having me here, so I think,
51
00:01:53.175 --> 00:01:54.495
I think we'll, uh, we get some more.
52
00:01:54.765 --> 00:01:58.305
Sure. James is here. Hey.
53
00:01:59.645 --> 00:02:01.545
Hey buddy. Come on in.
54
00:02:01.745 --> 00:02:03.185
I don't know if I can stand with this thing
55
00:02:03.185 --> 00:02:04.345
on, so I'm just gonna stay sitting.
56
00:02:04.695 --> 00:02:06.985
Look at this guy with the fox approve.
57
00:02:07.145 --> 00:02:08.665
I mean, I gotta ask first Yeah.
58
00:02:08.665 --> 00:02:11.145
About the Fox uniform that they have you guys in
59
00:02:11.415 --> 00:02:13.905
with your each separate color jumpsuit,
60
00:02:14.405 --> 00:02:15.905
Uh,
Athleisure.
61
00:02:17.445 --> 00:02:18.825
Do they give you guys assigned colors?
62
00:02:19.565 --> 00:02:21.305
My mom dresses me now. It's great. Yeah.
63
00:02:21.365 --> 00:02:24.305
Um, yeah, so the only thing that matters is
64
00:02:24.305 --> 00:02:25.705
that Buxton has to be an oatmeal.
65
00:02:26.525 --> 00:02:30.545
His color palette is oatmeal, beige, oatmeals. Very neutral.
66
00:02:31.055 --> 00:02:32.345
I've noticed here. A lot of gray.
67
00:02:32.405 --> 00:02:33.945
And then townsend's a lot of blue.
68
00:02:34.135 --> 00:02:35.585
Yeah. Uh, Townsend, it's funny.
69
00:02:35.585 --> 00:02:39.305
Townsend wore a, uh, a Merlott shirt a few races ago
70
00:02:39.925 --> 00:02:43.465
and, uh, and his son saw him on TV and quickly texted him
71
00:02:43.465 --> 00:02:45.985
and said, actually, I think he texted, um, Heather, uh,
72
00:02:46.075 --> 00:02:47.225
Townsend's wife and said,
73
00:02:47.225 --> 00:02:48.385
Hey, ma, is everything okay at home?
74
00:02:49.065 --> 00:02:50.265
A dad's wearing a Merlott shirt.
75
00:02:50.365 --> 00:02:51.465
I'm not sure what that means,
76
00:02:51.605 --> 00:02:52.945
but it, I've never seen it before.
77
00:02:52.945 --> 00:02:54.065
It makes me very uncomfortable.
78
00:02:54.485 --> 00:02:57.025
So he's had to kind of embrace, you know, this new look
79
00:02:57.215 --> 00:03:00.085
that, uh, that we've all had really inspired by Will Buxton.
80
00:03:00.085 --> 00:03:01.325
As you can tell. I gonna say
81
00:03:01.325 --> 00:03:02.525
It's a good look. I'm jealous.
82
00:03:03.205 --> 00:03:04.205
I was. Hi, Hazel
.
83
00:03:05.545 --> 00:03:07.405
Hi Hazel. We got Hazel over there.
84
00:03:07.545 --> 00:03:09.045
We got Hazel over there. We got Evan over there.
85
00:03:09.345 --> 00:03:12.165
We got Evan, my family over there. This is great.
86
00:03:12.235 --> 00:03:13.885
Well, we got all you guys here, you guys.

Thank you so much for coming out.
88
00:03:15.535 --> 00:03:16.765
How's your carb day going so far?
89
00:03:18.215 --> 00:03:20.545
Yeah, I just saw, I saw one guy just pouring a beer bag.
90
00:03:20.545 --> 00:03:23.145

I got signature.
93
00:03:29.525 --> 00:03:31.105
You realize you're gonna have to cut your arm off now.
94
00:03:31.105 --> 00:03:32.425
Right? That's the only solution.
95
00:03:33.205 --> 00:03:34.905
So we had someone, someone came up
96
00:03:34.965 --> 00:03:37.105
and, uh, you got, you signed a hat.
97
00:03:37.105 --> 00:03:38.545
Yeah. Yeah. And we talked about this, right? Yeah.
98
00:03:38.545 --> 00:03:39.625
And there was a whole Twitter exchange
99
00:03:39.625 --> 00:03:40.745
about having to burn the hat.
100
00:03:40.845 --> 00:03:43.065
Yes. I saw her today. Okay. Did she burn the hat?
101
00:03:43.065 --> 00:03:46.065
The has been burned. What? ? Yeah. So, um, if

You burn that arm,
I we're gonna have to,
103
00:03:49.035 --> 00:03:50.745
we're gonna have to remove it somehow. No,
104
00:03:50.745 --> 00:03:51.785
She said she's gonna get a tattoo. Tattoo
105
00:03:51.825 --> 00:03:52.825
Tattooed.
106
00:03:52.995 --> 00:03:56.705
Ma'am, ma'am, I cannot implore you enough to not get
107
00:03:56.705 --> 00:03:57.825
that tattooed on your arm.
108
00:03:57.825 --> 00:04:00.865
That's what I said, . At least we're all on the same page.
109
00:04:00.865 --> 00:04:01.985
Yeah, we're all the same page.
110
00:04:01.985 --> 00:04:02.865
I think it's worth, I think it's worth it.

00:04:10.065 --> 00:04:11.265
shooter thrown to me by those ladies.

I'm good. Life's good. Well, life's great. .
118
00:04:13.615 --> 00:04:16.705
What, where would you rank Carb Day on your list of days?
119
00:04:16.885 --> 00:04:20.345
At the 500? Like for the month of May? Uh,
120

Yeah. And that's one
123
00:04:28.275 --> 00:04:29.635
of the reasons we got some cool stuff.

And that's, uh, we just had a fly over there happening.

race day that has not been announced.

but there's something so cool that is coming. Who, who's

Say it. Just say everybody.
137
00:04:54.415 --> 00:04:56.875
If everybody, I never liked that one anyway.

Um, but no, it's,

How many hot dogs do you think they weigh?
172
00:06:14.625 --> 00:06:18.645
1, 4, 8, 8, 8, 4, 400,000.
173
00:06:18.645 --> 00:06:19.765
40,001.
174
00:06:19.765 --> 00:06:23.525
Really big
One. 140,500 hot dogs. .
175
00:06:24.045 --> 00:06:26.285
That's how much these things weigh. Um,
176
00:06:27.145 --> 00:06:29.205
Do they have to go through inspection prior?
177
00:06:32.825 --> 00:06:35.045
No. ,
Too much relish in the back.
178
00:06:36.025 --> 00:06:37.045
the relish in the opportunity
179
00:06:37.065 --> 00:06:38.165
to race here at the Speedway.
180
00:06:38.165 --> 00:06:40.485
Guys, I can promise you that this guy's a pro. Dude.
181
00:06:40.575 --> 00:06:42.925
Sun's out, buns out. This race is gonna be lit.
182
00:06:43.115 --> 00:06:44.405
Very excited. Oh, you couldn't wait to say that.
183
00:06:44.905 --> 00:06:46.365
Oh, come on inspectors.
184
00:06:46.435 --> 00:06:48.925
It's gonna be all kosher.
. There you go.
185
00:06:49.345 --> 00:06:51.165
Um, so yeah, who's, who's excited
186
00:06:51.185 --> 00:06:53.085
for the weenie 500? Anybody? Come
187
00:06:53.105 --> 00:06:54.105
On.
188
00:06:54.185 --> 00:06:55.765
I'm not gonna lie. When I was first told about this,
189
00:06:55.865 --> 00:06:57.605
I'm like, that's a thing.
190
00:06:57.625 --> 00:06:59.365
That's something I, okay.
191
00:06:59.525 --> 00:07:01.005
I don't know how that's gonna go over. When
192
00:07:01.005 --> 00:07:02.205
You saw the announcement where you
193
00:07:02.205 --> 00:07:03.245
were like, oh man, no way.
194
00:07:03.245 --> 00:07:04.725
And then they said, you're gonna actually be calling
195
00:07:04.725 --> 00:07:06.085
that the,
196
00:07:06.105 --> 00:07:08.165
The part that just floored me is like,
197
00:07:08.165 --> 00:07:09.525
when it went out on social media
198
00:07:09.585 --> 00:07:10.685
and like I posted something about,
199
00:07:10.685 --> 00:07:12.325
or whatever, there were a number of replies
200
00:07:12.325 --> 00:07:13.605
that I got was through the roof.
201
00:07:13.665 --> 00:07:14.845
So clearly you guys are,
202
00:07:14.865 --> 00:07:18.045
are super jazzed about seeing weenies drive around. Um,
203
00:07:18.235 --> 00:07:19.235
Okay.
204
00:07:19.235 --> 00:07:20.605
But I wanna be clear, only if they wreck.
205
00:07:21.155 --> 00:07:22.605
Yeah. I don't think that's gonna happen. If
206
00:07:22.605 --> 00:07:24.245
It's a clean race, I'm gonna be so disappointed.
207
00:07:24.385 --> 00:07:25.845
No, it's gonna be nothing
I love more
208
00:07:25.845 --> 00:07:26.885
than a charcoal weenies.
209
00:07:27.275 --> 00:07:30.125
It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a two laps sprint
210
00:07:30.125 --> 00:07:32.085
to the finish and, uh,
211
00:07:32.345 --> 00:07:34.205
or, you know, it's a, it's a green white checkered.
212
00:07:34.675 --> 00:07:36.565
Okay. And, uh, you know,
213
00:07:36.565 --> 00:07:38.565
these things top out at about 60 miles an hour.
214
00:07:39.425 --> 00:07:41.885
Is it? Yeah.
. That's faster than
215
00:07:41.885 --> 00:07:42.965
I would want to go. It's faster
216
00:07:42.965 --> 00:07:44.245
Than I thought. They're
217
00:07:44.245 --> 00:07:45.245
Six seaters.
218
00:07:45.245 --> 00:07:46.405
They're like, it's really nice inside.
219
00:07:46.405 --> 00:07:48.285
They've got a hot dog dashboard. How
220
00:07:48.285 --> 00:07:49.645
Much is big meat paying you ?
221
00:07:51.115 --> 00:07:53.165
Look, we've had the VP of Meat on the show before.
222
00:07:53.265 --> 00:07:55.645
That's true. You have to be, you have to have been listening
223
00:07:55.645 --> 00:07:57.445
for a very long time to get that reference.
224
00:07:57.805 --> 00:08:00.045
H do you think, uh, you know, the, the, the,
225
00:08:00.045 --> 00:08:03.045
the wiener out , the wi what?
226
00:08:03.545 --> 00:08:05.685
The wiener out front. Now. Are they a sitting duck?
227
00:08:05.835 --> 00:08:09.045
Like is uh, the number two or number arrow wash?
228
00:08:09.045 --> 00:08:10.085
What's Yeah. Be able,
229
00:08:10.115 --> 00:08:11.725
there's quite a draft I would imagine
230
00:08:11.725 --> 00:08:13.005
Uhhuh on a, on a wiener.
231
00:08:13.035 --> 00:08:15.685
Okay. Yeah. Alright. It's not super aerodynamic. Yeah.
232
00:08:15.905 --> 00:08:17.325
Uh, in their current format. Uhhuh.
233
00:08:17.325 --> 00:08:18.965
But it's just the Speedway trim though.
234
00:08:18.965 --> 00:08:21.165
They've got the speedway wieners out there. Ah, yeah. Yeah.
235
00:08:21.165 --> 00:08:22.885
Not one of those road course wieners got. Yeah.
236
00:08:23.905 --> 00:08:25.925
Uh, . I think we, uh,
237
00:08:26.105 --> 00:08:27.105
No offense bud.
238
00:08:27.105 --> 00:08:28.725
It's just, it's sunlight. It's who's got
239
00:08:28.725 --> 00:08:30.085

Not for now. For now. True.

What's the worst one of those that you've got someone trying
248
00:08:49.565 --> 00:08:51.845
to drop, like creed stuff into your thing?
249

00:09:16.125 --> 00:09:17.125

A little knob, but

How are

268
00:09:23.125 --> 00:09:24.125
Phrasing.

We were just, we were just talking
270
00:09:24.205 --> 00:09:25.005

That's what happens though, right?
281
00:09:40.925 --> 00:09:42.565
You get to this point in the month and it's all great
282
00:09:42.565 --> 00:09:45.005
and you love it all, but ultimately you're just so anxious
283
00:09:45.025 --> 00:09:47.805
and, and excited now to get to the race, it was kind
284
00:09:47.805 --> 00:09:48.805
Of like my wedding.

that we can say have cooler jobs than us,
293
00:10:08.185 --> 00:10:09.245
but I think those Yeah,
294
00:10:09.245 --> 00:10:11.165
those pilots might actually have that.
295
00:10:11.425 --> 00:10:12.525

344
00:11:40.635 --> 00:11:41.285
Hang on. That
345
00:11:41.285 --> 00:11:41.805
Slap. No
346
00:11:41.805 --> 00:11:42.805
Way.
347
00:11:42.805 --> 00:11:43.485
Does the call come over the radio?
348
00:11:43.825 --> 00:11:45.445
Please remind the two drivers in front
349
00:11:45.465 --> 00:11:46.525
who writes their paycheck.
350
00:11:46.705 --> 00:11:49.005
Yes. I would say you wanna renew your contract,
351
00:11:49.015 --> 00:11:50.605
right? Think it, think it
352
00:11:51.035 --> 00:11:52.035
Last.
353
00:11:52.035 --> 00:11:52.485
You have two laps to, oh,
354
00:11:52.585 --> 00:11:54.125
you have two corners to think about it. ,
355
00:11:54.545 --> 00:11:55.565
As far as I'm concerned,
356
00:11:55.805 --> 00:11:57.165
alia's name isn't on the paycheck.
357
00:11:58.185 --> 00:12:01.965
Oh, this guy's name is on the paycheck over here. It's
358
00:12:01.965 --> 00:12:02.845
That guy. Oh my God.
359
00:12:02.915 --> 00:12:04.405
Alright, come on. This is the guy.
360
00:12:04.555 --> 00:12:06.245
This is a family affair now, right here.
361
00:12:06.545 --> 00:12:08.445
Hey, hey, hey. This
Is a family affair.
362
00:12:08.595 --> 00:12:10.405
Okay, before, before we get the boss's headset,
363
00:12:10.425 --> 00:12:13.605
the other boss's on you guys, how was, how was your day?
364
00:12:13.625 --> 00:12:15.965
How was the car? We'll start with Marcus. How do we feel?
365
00:12:15.965 --> 00:12:18.205
Like I said, last laps are done. Next laps count.
366
00:12:18.375 --> 00:12:19.445
How's the car? Well,
367
00:12:19.445 --> 00:12:21.605
Hang on before I start talking about my car.
368
00:12:21.605 --> 00:12:23.885
Okay, I wanna say that if it's the last lap
369
00:12:23.945 --> 00:12:26.205
and he's in P three, yeah, I actually feel,
370
00:12:26.265 --> 00:12:28.605
or at least P two, and I'm, I'm ahead of him.
371
00:12:28.605 --> 00:12:32.205
I feel confident because 50% of the time he forgets,
372
00:12:32.205 --> 00:12:33.285
which is the deploy
373
00:12:33.285 --> 00:12:34.285
button
.
374
00:12:35.905 --> 00:12:38.205
So,
So in that high stress moment, you're hoping
375
00:12:38.205 --> 00:12:39.605
that he gets it wrong and he's
376
00:12:39.605 --> 00:12:40.965
Just,
I'm ready for it.
377
00:12:42.825 --> 00:12:45.005
He starts regen and dragging the card. Honestly,
378
00:12:45.045 --> 00:12:46.565
I wouldn't be surprised if he, if he hits the button
379
00:12:46.565 --> 00:12:49.845
and he is like, no, it's hit and hold. It's not a
380
00:12:49.905 --> 00:12:50.905
hit.
.
381
00:12:50.905 --> 00:12:52.125
That is a, there is a possibility on
382
00:12:52.125 --> 00:12:53.285
that. For sure. For sure. So
383
00:12:53.285 --> 00:12:54.405
Maurice, just like, I don't wanna get it wrong
384
00:12:54.405 --> 00:12:56.445
and holds both down and just whatever happens, happens.
385
00:12:56.905 --> 00:12:58.285
So, Elio, you were talking about this
386
00:12:58.285 --> 00:13:00.045
with James yesterday when we were doing the,
387
00:13:00.045 --> 00:13:02.525
the series interviews about the, the mix up on the,
388
00:13:02.525 --> 00:13:05.085
the deploys on the left and the, the regions on the right,
389
00:13:05.385 --> 00:13:08.565
and sometimes it throws you off just some context for
390
00:13:08.565 --> 00:13:09.565
Everything.
391
00:13:09.565 --> 00:13:09.925
This guy, this, uh, this guy's steering wheel.
392
00:13:09.945 --> 00:13:11.365
So obviously they're doing the full season.
393
00:13:11.505 --> 00:13:12.845
I'm not, so I gotta pick up one.
394
00:13:12.945 --> 00:13:15.245
So last year, I, I copy, uh,
395
00:13:15.315 --> 00:13:17.925
basically everything from Felix, the, in terms of, uh,
396
00:13:18.185 --> 00:13:20.805
you know, steering wheel position and stuff like that.
397
00:13:20.825 --> 00:13:22.725
So this year I'm like, right, I'm gonna do the same way.
398
00:13:22.725 --> 00:13:26.125
So, and he, he deployed on the left, which means
399
00:13:26.785 --> 00:13:29.565
almost like a push to pass in, in, in the, in the left.
400
00:13:29.625 --> 00:13:32.365
And then obviously Aja on the right.
401
00:13:33.145 --> 00:13:34.765
Oh man, today got a bush.
402
00:13:34.815 --> 00:13:37.165
There was an issue, you know, that happening there.
403
00:13:37.385 --> 00:13:39.525
And I'm like, which budget? I'm pushing both .
404
00:13:40.075 --> 00:13:41.205
That was a glitch again.
405
00:13:41.265 --> 00:13:42.885
It happened, but, uh, but it's, uh,
406
00:13:42.885 --> 00:13:45.085
it's a little confus, but, uh, this
407
00:13:45.085 --> 00:13:47.125
Is the mad panic we're talking about in the last lap is
408
00:13:47.125 --> 00:13:48.485
hitting every and all buttons.
409
00:13:48.505 --> 00:13:49.405
The only thing that's gonna be
410
00:13:49.405 --> 00:13:50.525
is gonna be flat out. That's
411
00:13:50.525 --> 00:13:51.365
For sure. That's all it matters.
412
00:13:51.425 --> 00:13:53.565
I'm not gonna live.
Because for your first 500,
413
00:13:53.625 --> 00:13:55.285
it was basically like the Flintstones
414
00:13:55.285 --> 00:13:58.045
where you were just running under the car, right? Yeah,
415
00:13:58.045 --> 00:13:59.045
It's true.
416
00:13:59.045 --> 00:14:00.405
That's true. You actually throw a little bit of, uh,
417
00:14:00.585 --> 00:14:03.245
you know, the hawk. Hey, here we
418
00:14:03.245 --> 00:14:04.245
Go.
419
00:14:04.245 --> 00:14:04.405
I have good advice for you. Okay.
420
00:14:04.705 --> 00:14:08.805
So the deploy is always the opposite of your upshift hand.
421
00:14:09.185 --> 00:14:12.485
All right? So in catastrophe, it's your downshift hand.
422
00:14:12.985 --> 00:14:14.445
Go Broom, broom. Good, good.
423
00:14:15.865 --> 00:14:18.085
Marcus, we talked about this yesterday. That's terrible.
424
00:14:18.305 --> 00:14:21.285
You still, how have you not corrected how he says your name?
425
00:14:21.905 --> 00:14:24.805
Ah,
Helio. He still says Helio. Helio
426
00:14:24.805 --> 00:14:25.445
Helio. Helio
427
00:14:26.245 --> 00:14:27.445
H is silent. Helio
428
00:14:27.625 --> 00:14:28.625
Joe.
429
00:14:28.625 --> 00:14:28.925
Some respect. Hello
430
00:14:29.155 --> 00:14:30.155
Dear boss.
431
00:14:30.155 --> 00:14:31.085
It's okay. I'll show the reader.
432
00:14:31.325 --> 00:14:32.445
I told him yesterday, I thought that
433
00:14:32.645 --> 00:14:34.405
'cause he was like, oh, I love winding up Helio.
434
00:14:34.405 --> 00:14:36.365
Like, I love kind of, you know, taking jabs at him.
435
00:14:36.365 --> 00:14:38.245
And we have this fun little back and forth thing.
436
00:14:38.545 --> 00:14:40.365
And he kept referring to him as Helio.
437
00:14:40.425 --> 00:14:42.325
And I'm like, is that part of the shtick?
438
00:14:42.325 --> 00:14:44.725
Like, is that trying to piss him off? He's young is what?
439
00:14:44.865 --> 00:14:46.485
By the way, I didn't know he was saying it wrong. By the
440
00:14:46.485 --> 00:14:47.485
Way, he's young.
441
00:14:47.585 --> 00:14:51.525
24 years old. I'm not even young looking for chicks. Yeah.
442
00:14:51.625 --> 00:14:53.125
Wow. That's the problem. Yes. I thought
443
00:14:53.125 --> 00:14:53.685
You had it. He
444
00:14:53.685 --> 00:14:57.125
Is not are Youa
Big Raya guy.
445
00:14:57.785 --> 00:14:59.125
Big Raya guy. And so
446
00:14:59.625 --> 00:15:00.625
Now
Hold on, hold on, hold on.
447
00:15:00.625 --> 00:15:02.285
Hold up, hold up, hold up. Hold, hold up.
448
00:15:03.185 --> 00:15:04.885
I'm not the only one on Raya sitting on these
449
00:15:04.885 --> 00:15:05.925
couches. All right. Oh,
450
00:15:05.925 --> 00:15:06.925
Really?
451
00:15:07.055 --> 00:15:08.845
Hands up. If you're on Raya knew
452
00:15:08.925 --> 00:15:11.485
A single Elio
Ends up if you're a pariah.
453
00:15:12.265 --> 00:15:16.845
Oh, there it is. Breaking news.
454
00:15:17.765 --> 00:15:20.245
Breaking news. Now is your, is your, is your profile
455
00:15:20.245 --> 00:15:21.245
It's lot of pressure.
456
00:15:21.245 --> 00:15:21.925
It's a lot of pressure from this guy.
457
00:15:21.955 --> 00:15:22.965
This guy. Not this one.
458
00:15:23.075 --> 00:15:24.405
Well, yeah, yeah. I mean, you got some
459
00:15:24.405 --> 00:15:25.525
competition. I know, I
460
00:15:25.525 --> 00:15:26.525
Know,
I know.
461
00:15:26.525 --> 00:15:28.805
Does your profile have Elio, k, Neve or Spiderman? No,
462
00:15:29.015 --> 00:15:32.165
Those have, I think it's, I trying to, it's H
463
00:15:32.745 --> 00:15:34.285
hc hc. I didn't put the whole name
464
00:15:34.705 --> 00:15:36.005
HC four. That's, that's,
465
00:15:36.185 --> 00:15:37.185
Oh,
I like that.
466
00:15:37.185 --> 00:15:37.845
Yeah. Yeah. See, I'm gonna change.
467
00:15:37.915 --> 00:15:39.805
Look him up on Raya, ladies, gentlemen,
468
00:15:39.905 --> 00:15:42.565
if you're interested, you know, it's, uh, whatever. 20,
469
00:15:42.565 --> 00:15:43.565
20.
470
00:15:43.565 --> 00:15:44.445
Didn't even know that was a thing. Lio. I gotta know though.
471
00:15:44.745 --> 00:15:48.125
Yes, you get it done on Sunday. Okay, number five.
472
00:15:48.465 --> 00:15:51.205
Yes.
From Mr. Shank. And you. Right?
473
00:15:52.105 --> 00:15:53.725
What's the celebration? Oh, it's
474
00:15:53.725 --> 00:15:54.725
Gotta be all time.
475
00:15:55.785 --> 00:15:57.285
Not just climbing the fence. He's
476
00:15:57.285 --> 00:15:58.285
Gonna climb the pagoda.
477
00:15:58.315 --> 00:15:59.565
He's gonna go, he's gonna King Kong
478
00:15:59.565 --> 00:16:00.725
and all the way to 10th floor,
479
00:16:01.055 --> 00:16:02.055
He'll go nuts.
480
00:16:02.055 --> 00:16:04.925
He will go, because you climbed with him in 21. Nuts, man.
481
00:16:05.075 --> 00:16:08.765
Mari star, , uh, you know,
482
00:16:08.765 --> 00:16:11.645
maybe we get Creed though, a play or something for us. Oh,
483
00:16:12.165 --> 00:16:13.165
I like it.
484
00:16:13.165 --> 00:16:15.405
Private after party. Private show after party only.
485
00:16:15.435 --> 00:16:17.005
Only Amiah and, and private .
486
00:16:18.315 --> 00:16:19.845
It's just gonna be Marcus Elio,
487
00:16:19.845 --> 00:16:21.445
whoever they invite for Maria and Creed.
488
00:16:22.315 --> 00:16:24.245
Mike, you can go to. But that's it. I breathe it.
489
00:16:24.645 --> 00:16:26.245
I like to think that Elio, I like
490
00:16:26.245 --> 00:16:28.085
to think you have like a really humble, it's
491
00:16:28.165 --> 00:16:29.165
Pronounced .
492
00:16:29.925 --> 00:16:32.445
I like to think it's a really humble, like Raya bio,
493
00:16:32.545 --> 00:16:34.285
but then the picture is just for baby
494
00:16:34.355 --> 00:16:35.355
Borg
.
495
00:16:36.105 --> 00:16:37.445
He was, he was trying to do that.
496
00:16:37.525 --> 00:16:39.205
I was like, no man, that's too much. That's too much.
497
00:16:39.225 --> 00:16:41.805
He, he's, oh no, you gotta make it nicer. He's
498
00:16:41.805 --> 00:16:43.365
Such a dad When it comes to Raya.
499
00:16:43.365 --> 00:16:45.725
Like, you got, what you're gotta do is you gotta have a,
500
00:16:45.825 --> 00:16:47.205
you gotta have a professional photo,
501
00:16:47.205 --> 00:16:48.445
you've gotta have a smiley photo,
502
00:16:48.445 --> 00:16:49.445
you gotta have a jokey photo.
503
00:16:49.825 --> 00:16:51.805
You really gotta show all your assets. Right?
504
00:16:52.705 --> 00:16:54.165
, you're got a topless photo too.
505
00:16:54.165 --> 00:16:56.685
Have, because he's in shape. He's in shape.
506
00:16:56.685 --> 00:16:58.125
He's gotta show it off. So
507
00:16:58.505 --> 00:16:59.765
Marcus, you don't have any photos
508
00:16:59.795 --> 00:17:00.885
with anybody else, right?
509
00:17:00.885 --> 00:17:02.645
Just you, you're not doing the friend like Tim
510
00:17:02.705 --> 00:17:03.885
did on, on Tinder?
511
00:17:03.885 --> 00:17:04.885
No, not doing,
512
00:17:05.705 --> 00:17:07.565
Tim puts every picture with at least three other people,
513
00:17:07.905 --> 00:17:09.965
so you can never quite sure who they're looking at.
514
00:17:10.055 --> 00:17:11.445
Felix told me that the cool thing
515
00:17:11.445 --> 00:17:14.125
to do in his generation is to, to do a blokes shot.
516
00:17:14.145 --> 00:17:17.125
So like 10 blokes in a row doing like, see,
517
00:17:17.125 --> 00:17:18.125
Just don't, yeah.
518
00:17:18.125 --> 00:17:20.725
Yeah. I don don't think that works anymore. ? No, he's out.
519
00:17:20.755 --> 00:17:22.405
He's out. He is married now. It's fine. He's
520
00:17:22.405 --> 00:17:22.965
Out. So
521
00:17:22.965 --> 00:17:23.965
It worked.
522
00:17:24.305 --> 00:17:26.005
That's true. Yeah, that's true. Yeah.
523
00:17:26.215 --> 00:17:29.555
Where did you meet Emil? Uh, 22.
524
00:17:29.845 --> 00:17:31.715
Where? New York.
525
00:17:32.335 --> 00:17:35.155
How, how? Yeah. I love where you go.
526
00:17:35.315 --> 00:17:36.635
I love where you going? It
527
00:17:36.635 --> 00:17:38.075
Was through the grams,
Through
528
00:17:38.075 --> 00:17:39.075
The gram.
529
00:17:39.075 --> 00:17:39.955
The, oh, the dms you made the move.
530
00:17:39.955 --> 00:17:41.155
That's like the new dating app. I
531
00:17:41.155 --> 00:17:42.835
like the D is really the gram. You
532
00:17:42.835 --> 00:17:44.995
Made the move, Felix,
You slid in. She actually
533
00:17:45.025 --> 00:17:46.115
Technically did it.
534
00:17:46.665 --> 00:17:48.995
Well done. She slid on you. Yeah. Well done.
535
00:17:49.105 --> 00:17:50.125
That's an impressive move.
536
00:17:50.125 --> 00:17:52.085
It was a lot of like, it was a lot of liking
537
00:17:52.185 --> 00:17:53.405
and unliking before that.
538
00:17:53.405 --> 00:17:54.565
That was also back in my day.
539
00:17:54.585 --> 00:17:56.405
Oh, I, oh, I can't, I don't,
540
00:17:56.405 --> 00:17:57.565
I don't understand that game. That's so
541
00:17:57.565 --> 00:17:58.565
Un uncom.
542
00:17:58.565 --> 00:17:59.125
Joe, you remember we were talking about being
543
00:17:59.185 --> 00:18:00.405
old earlier? Uhhuh . Yeah.
544
00:18:00.455 --> 00:18:01.645
Uhhuh . I've never even
545
00:18:01.645 --> 00:18:02.925
Heard of Ryan. I thought this was his
546
00:18:02.925 --> 00:18:03.925
Girlfriend.
547
00:18:04.585 --> 00:18:07.285
No clue. No. Ryan's a dating app.
548
00:18:07.345 --> 00:18:09.725
For those that don't know this thing, uh,
549
00:18:09.915 --> 00:18:11.085
Mike, how's your month been?
550
00:18:11.955 --> 00:18:13.245
It's been good actually. Yeah. Yeah.
551
00:18:13.245 --> 00:18:14.885
We have fast race cars for sure.
552
00:18:15.345 --> 00:18:17.805
Is it rank this one on, you know, the,
553
00:18:17.945 --> 00:18:18.965
the maze that you've done.
554
00:18:19.025 --> 00:18:21.445
How stressful has this one been? Just kind of overall?
555
00:18:21.585 --> 00:18:22.925
It was, it's a, it's been tough.
556
00:18:23.115 --> 00:18:24.405
It's been a little tough on the team.
557
00:18:24.455 --> 00:18:26.685
We've just had so much work between this program
558
00:18:26.825 --> 00:18:27.845
and the sports car program.
559
00:18:27.845 --> 00:18:30.725
Right. We've got 110 people working and a lot going on.
560
00:18:30.785 --> 00:18:32.765
But these three really know what they're doing.
561
00:18:32.785 --> 00:18:34.085
We had a little setback with Marcus
562
00:18:34.155 --> 00:18:35.445
last Saturday. He had, he had
563
00:18:35.585 --> 00:18:36.565
Why? What happened? Little
564
00:18:36.615 --> 00:18:37.645
Super fast moment.
565
00:18:38.305 --> 00:18:40.565
And, uh, he sailed it off. That's not nice. That's
566
00:18:40.565 --> 00:18:41.565
Not nice.
567
00:18:41.565 --> 00:18:42.565
He, that's all we've talked about it. He
568
00:18:42.565 --> 00:18:43.565
Didn't lift.
569
00:18:43.565 --> 00:18:44.205
He went straight in.
570
00:18:44.945 --> 00:18:46.885
So, good man. Good man. But
571
00:18:46.885 --> 00:18:47.885
It's been great.
572
00:18:47.885 --> 00:18:50.325
Cars are good. We recovered with his, essentially his, uh,
573
00:18:50.325 --> 00:18:52.285
Detroit car is now his primary car now.
574
00:18:52.305 --> 00:18:55.165
But, uh, both, all, all three of 'em are really quick.
575
00:18:55.325 --> 00:18:56.645
I mean, we, we have good race
576
00:18:56.645 --> 00:18:57.925
cars. We'll just see how this goes.
577
00:18:58.025 --> 00:18:59.805
You talk about the sports car program and this program.
578
00:19:00.025 --> 00:19:03.125
How many, how many people that have to join the team?
579
00:19:03.305 --> 00:19:05.445
You know, I, I know it's not all just on the zero six,
580
00:19:05.445 --> 00:19:07.885
however you spread out, the extra personnel come are coming
581
00:19:07.885 --> 00:19:08.885
from the sports car program
582
00:19:08.885 --> 00:19:09.885
There.
583
00:19:09.885 --> 00:19:10.165
There's four or five. Okay.
584
00:19:10.165 --> 00:19:12.325
But a lot of just subcontractors that we've worked with
585
00:19:12.325 --> 00:19:13.485
and bring in for this event,
586
00:19:13.625 --> 00:19:15.205
and, uh, everyone helps everybody.
587
00:19:15.205 --> 00:19:17.125
When Marcus had his issue on Saturday morning,
588
00:19:17.425 --> 00:19:20.165
the whole team made sure that car got back to where it,
589
00:19:20.165 --> 00:19:21.685
it could run and be competitive,
590
00:19:21.765 --> 00:19:23.885
which was a, a thrash after that. It's been great.
591
00:19:24.065 --> 00:19:26.405
Marcus, I remember two years ago when I did this show
592
00:19:26.405 --> 00:19:27.605
with, with these guys.
593
00:19:27.865 --> 00:19:29.645
You were up here as well, and this is
594
00:19:29.645 --> 00:19:31.245
before you had done the Oval.
595
00:19:31.245 --> 00:19:32.965
Yeah. You were still green on all of that.
596
00:19:33.325 --> 00:19:34.965
I was still a baby. So
You're still a baby. Yeah.
597
00:19:34.965 --> 00:19:36.845
Which you still are a baby on Riot.
598
00:19:37.025 --> 00:19:41.165
But now what is the, what is the two years in, uh,
599
00:19:41.345 --> 00:19:42.885
how are you, how are you liking,
600
00:19:43.145 --> 00:19:45.405
how are you experiencing racing in a place like this?
601
00:19:45.605 --> 00:19:48.005
I feel like I've aged 15 years in the past
602
00:19:48.115 --> 00:19:49.115
Week.
603
00:19:49.115 --> 00:19:50.685
You look probably. You look at Yeah,
604
00:19:50.685 --> 00:19:52.845
I look at you look at almost as as hell.
605
00:19:53.155 --> 00:19:55.725
Yeah. Yeah. Almost as much as Helio. Yeah. Hell
606
00:19:56.585 --> 00:19:57.585
No.
607
00:19:57.585 --> 00:19:59.245
But in all seriousness, it's been a wild ride.
608
00:19:59.245 --> 00:20:01.445
Like this o learning ovals for the first time.
609
00:20:01.865 --> 00:20:04.565
My first, my first proper oval race was this event last
610
00:20:04.565 --> 00:20:06.245
year, but we had an engine failure on Lap four.
611
00:20:06.265 --> 00:20:09.165
Yep. So, in theory, my first Oval Race was actually in Iowa
612
00:20:09.625 --> 00:20:12.165
and it was, uh, it was a bag of laughs. I loved it. It was
613
00:20:12.165 --> 00:20:14.325
Like, honestly,
I've not heard that before.
614
00:20:14.605 --> 00:20:17.085
A bag of, of laughs.
A bag. A bag of laughs. I
615
00:20:17.085 --> 00:20:19.045
Gotta work that. That is good. We
616
00:20:19.045 --> 00:20:20.045
Had a good race actually.
617
00:20:20.145 --> 00:20:22.645
Um, and I, uh, I think I finished like eighth
618
00:20:22.785 --> 00:20:24.605
or something in my first Oval race.
619
00:20:24.665 --> 00:20:26.445
It was fun. And, and then Milwaukee
620
00:20:26.545 --> 00:20:28.285
and then all the, you know, all the,
621
00:20:28.305 --> 00:20:29.965
all the little oval, short oval stuff.
622
00:20:30.035 --> 00:20:31.645
It's been, it's been fun. Good.
623
00:20:31.645 --> 00:20:33.685
Um, and then coming back here for the second time,
624
00:20:33.865 --> 00:20:37.365
it was going really well up until the, uh, well, you know
625
00:20:37.475 --> 00:20:38.525
what happened on Saturday,
626
00:20:39.025 --> 00:20:40.565
but I think we've bounced back pretty well.
627
00:20:40.765 --> 00:20:42.405
I mean, now we've found some speed in our,
628
00:20:42.425 --> 00:20:43.885
in our Detroit wagon and,
629
00:20:44.505 --> 00:20:46.765
and there's no reason why I can't be up there. One, two,
630
00:20:46.765 --> 00:20:49.605
And three with hey, Leo and on Sunday
631
00:20:50.345 --> 00:20:53.285
and Felix, man, you're just ripping it around here, man.
632
00:20:53.305 --> 00:20:56.205
You, you always put up a good car. Put up a good fight here.
633
00:20:56.585 --> 00:20:59.245
How do you feel this year's different? Uh, yeah.
634
00:20:59.315 --> 00:21:01.645
It's, it's, I think also it's been a tough one.
635
00:21:01.745 --> 00:21:03.405
Uh, it's been more challenging,
636
00:21:03.745 --> 00:21:06.245
but it's probably been my best one overall.
637
00:21:06.345 --> 00:21:09.445
How so? How more challenging? Uh, just a qualifying man.
638
00:21:09.445 --> 00:21:12.325
Like I was, I was so tired after qualifying.
639
00:21:12.445 --> 00:21:14.965
I slept like 12 hours the day after. Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
640
00:21:15.065 --> 00:21:16.685
It was, uh, I don't know.
641
00:21:16.685 --> 00:21:18.565
The window of the car is just so small now
642
00:21:18.625 --> 00:21:20.365
and I feel like you just need to be very on top of it.
643
00:21:20.425 --> 00:21:22.925
You constantly need to, to, to look
644
00:21:22.925 --> 00:21:25.925
after your tools, the, the wind, the weather and,
645
00:21:26.025 --> 00:21:27.565
and it, it was just a lot too.
646
00:21:27.565 --> 00:21:30.325
Especially when it drags out into the fast 12 and Sure.
647
00:21:30.425 --> 00:21:31.765
And fast six. That's pretty,
648
00:21:31.865 --> 00:21:33.565
but it, it's, you know, a luxury of, uh,
649
00:21:34.065 --> 00:21:37.445
of having a good car and being quick and, uh, yeah.
650
00:21:39.115 --> 00:21:40.805
Well, got, oh, sorry. Go ahead. Uh, that
651
00:21:40.865 --> 00:21:42.085
Lap, he did 2 34.
652
00:21:42.185 --> 00:21:43.685
One on the warmup day on side.
653
00:21:43.685 --> 00:21:46.405
That is a, that was a freakishly fast lap. That's a big one.
654
00:21:46.645 --> 00:21:49.285
I think he'll tell you the car was, was moving.
655
00:21:49.515 --> 00:21:51.645
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Floating. If, if nothing else.
656
00:21:52.065 --> 00:21:54.365
No, no. Easy way to do 2 34. That's for
657
00:21:54.365 --> 00:21:55.365
Sure.
658
00:21:55.365 --> 00:21:56.285
I feel like those runs, it always feels like you're doing
659
00:21:56.285 --> 00:21:57.325
eight laps instead of four .
660
00:21:58.915 --> 00:22:02.045
Alright everybody, let's give a big round of applause
661
00:22:02.045 --> 00:22:03.885
to the entire Myers Shank racing crew.
662
00:22:04.155 --> 00:22:07.405
Elio Helio, Castro, Neve, who can be found on Raya,
663
00:22:07.415 --> 00:22:09.645
Felix Rosenquist, Marcus Armstrong,
664
00:22:09.645 --> 00:22:10.845
and of course, the man himself.
665
00:22:10.845 --> 00:22:13.485
Mike Shank. We wish them all the best in the Indy 500.
666
00:22:13.665 --> 00:22:17.645
Coming up here on Sunday, May 25th live 10:00 AM on Fox.
667
00:22:18.715 --> 00:22:20.045
Just gotta throw in all the plugs.
668
00:22:21.425 --> 00:22:22.525
Uh, and real quick,
669
00:22:23.015 --> 00:22:25.485
we've got an impromptu guest that we're gonna bring up.
670
00:22:25.485 --> 00:22:27.845
Ladies and gentlemen. I don't know if you listened to the,
671
00:22:27.865 --> 00:22:29.525
uh, live show from last Monday.
672
00:22:29.985 --> 00:22:32.405
Uh, we got spoiled by a, an impromptu guest
673
00:22:32.425 --> 00:22:34.205
who was the poll sitter, Robert Schwartzman.
674
00:22:34.575 --> 00:22:37.885
Today we've outdone ourselves. Even I'm impressed with this.
675
00:22:38.895 --> 00:22:43.325
We're gonna bring up the one, the only, the living legend,
676
00:22:44.225 --> 00:22:47.885
the 1969 in 500 winner, Mario and Trinity.
677
00:22:52.575 --> 00:22:53.995
Oh, and Alex Rossi's also coming.
678
00:22:54.575 --> 00:22:55.755
Oh, hey man.
679
00:22:56.025 --> 00:22:58.075
Nice. Alex to show up. Hey, we'll throw a headset on.
680
00:22:58.235 --> 00:23:01.475
You there, Mario, take your pick. Either one. Hi. Hi Alex.
681
00:23:01.645 --> 00:23:03.235
Happy to be here. Happy to be here. Yeah.
682
00:23:03.235 --> 00:23:04.595
You had no reason not to be here. Your debrief
683
00:23:04.595 --> 00:23:06.115
would've been nice and short. Honestly. Zero
684
00:23:06.115 --> 00:23:07.195
Things to
Debrief about.
685
00:23:07.195 --> 00:23:09.875
Yeah. How's the car? Wet. Wet. Moving on. Yeah. Okay.
686
00:23:10.225 --> 00:23:12.355
Alright. How you doing, man? How's it going, bud? Good.
687
00:23:12.785 --> 00:23:14.595
Yeah. Sweet. Awesome man.
688
00:23:15.045 --> 00:23:16.555
How's your, how's your month of May been?
689
00:23:17.215 --> 00:23:20.115
Oh, well, very uneventful for me. . Yeah.
690
00:23:20.585 --> 00:23:21.875
They keeping you busy? Good.
691
00:23:22.225 --> 00:23:25.715
Yeah. Yeah, pretty much. Yeah. It's good. All good though.
692
00:23:26.235 --> 00:23:29.275
'cause uh, I was watching all the, what's happening
693
00:23:29.275 --> 00:23:30.355
with the team and, uh,
694
00:23:30.705 --> 00:23:32.955
everybody was a little more relaxed than
695
00:23:32.955 --> 00:23:34.755
usual, so that's a good thing. Yeah.
696
00:23:35.065 --> 00:23:37.435
Good. So obviously you've seen, you know, a lot
697
00:23:37.435 --> 00:23:39.755
of different versions of Andre Auto Sport, um,
698
00:23:39.895 --> 00:23:41.475
and Andretti Global now and everything.
699
00:23:41.575 --> 00:23:43.595
So how's things been in 2025
700
00:23:43.695 --> 00:23:45.485
and what are you excited about? Yeah,
701
00:23:45.515 --> 00:23:47.925
Like I said, it seems to be pretty quiet,
702
00:23:48.105 --> 00:23:49.165
so we'll see what happens.
703
00:23:49.425 --> 00:23:51.645
Uh, obviously I'd like
704
00:23:51.645 --> 00:23:54.565
to see him a little further up on the speed charge,
705
00:23:54.745 --> 00:23:58.125
but, um, seemed like they feel comfortable
706
00:23:58.125 --> 00:23:59.885
with the chassis and so forth, so.
707
00:23:59.995 --> 00:24:02.045
Good. Good, good. We'll see what happens.
708
00:24:02.105 --> 00:24:03.885
Colton
Obviously had a fast car before,
709
00:24:04.105 --> 00:24:05.365
before qualifying, so. Yeah.
710
00:24:05.555 --> 00:24:07.325
Well, I said, uh,
711
00:24:07.725 --> 00:24:11.045
I don't know if they would be conservative or what, but, uh,
712
00:24:11.585 --> 00:24:13.725
but I, I'm confident that they're,
713
00:24:14.305 --> 00:24:15.965
So let's get your real opinion on something.
714
00:24:16.065 --> 00:24:17.605
Do we like Joey's jacket or is it,
715
00:24:17.925 --> 00:24:18.925
I love it.
716
00:24:18.925 --> 00:24:21.005
What do you think, Mario? You think Mario Turn, turn around.
717
00:24:21.005 --> 00:24:22.845
Give him the whole spin. Let him see what's on the back.
718
00:24:22.915 --> 00:24:25.165
Mario's a fashion guy.
Keep in mind, if you make fun
719
00:24:25.165 --> 00:24:26.485
of it, it will devastate him.
720
00:24:26.825 --> 00:24:28.245
So let's do it.
721
00:24:28.865 --> 00:24:30.405
Are you guys trying to sell that thing?
722
00:24:30.505 --> 00:24:33.685
No. ? No. No. He, he bought this, he paid full, full
723
00:24:34.085 --> 00:24:35.085
MSRP for
That soccer.
724
00:24:35.085 --> 00:24:36.125
No, they sent it to me. Oh, did
725
00:24:36.125 --> 00:24:38.805
that
. Wow.
726
00:24:39.195 --> 00:24:40.365
What do you think, Mr. Andretti?
727
00:24:40.905 --> 00:24:42.045
Oh, I'd love to have one.
728
00:24:42.295 --> 00:24:43.765
There you go. I'd love to have one.
729
00:24:43.765 --> 00:24:47.005
We're gonna get him one. Oh no.
730
00:24:47.185 --> 00:24:50.245
The man is stripping off off the jacket.
731
00:24:50.245 --> 00:24:53.725
Mario, that is is for you. Incredible shirt off his own bag.
732
00:24:53.725 --> 00:24:56.485
Incredible. That's amazing. Oh, now it's worth even more.
733
00:24:56.505 --> 00:24:58.925
Now you can't wear, I can't ever wear. You can't wear it.
734
00:25:01.045 --> 00:25:02.525
I know you request it, man. That's incredible.
735
00:25:02.965 --> 00:25:04.285
I always gonna recommend cleaning it.
736
00:25:04.425 --> 00:25:06.645
You've got, you've got the goat here,
737
00:25:06.665 --> 00:25:08.045
you've got Alex Rossi here.
738
00:25:08.045 --> 00:25:10.485
Unfortunately, that means I've gotta run and talk weenies.
739
00:25:10.625 --> 00:25:12.205
So guys, thank you so much for coming out.
740
00:25:12.205 --> 00:25:14.645
I'll leave in very capable hands just very quickly. Yes.
741
00:25:14.675 --> 00:25:16.085
What is your favorite weenie?
742
00:25:19.195 --> 00:25:21.325
What what are the, I don't even know what the options are.
743
00:25:21.665 --> 00:25:24.925
Any a Johnsonville brought from Road America?
744
00:25:25.545 --> 00:25:28.965
Is that Oh wow. All right. Love you guys
745
00:25:29.585 --> 00:25:30.845
For the crowd playing with the crowd.
746
00:25:30.945 --> 00:25:33.125
Yes. Oh, you,
Who are you sucking
747
00:25:33.125 --> 00:25:34.285
up to? Anyway, you want
748
00:25:35.165 --> 00:25:36.325
A bit faster up there, .
749
00:25:38.955 --> 00:25:41.365
Love you buddy. See ya, man. Mr.
750
00:25:41.365 --> 00:25:42.525
Andretti, this is so crazy,
751
00:25:42.635 --> 00:25:44.125
such an honor to be talking to you.
752
00:25:44.355 --> 00:25:45.685
It's the first first time I've been called
753
00:25:45.685 --> 00:25:46.805
Mr. Andretti today.
754
00:25:47.075 --> 00:25:49.285
Well, I'm, I am not
755
00:25:49.285 --> 00:25:50.325
gonna tell you anything other than that.
756
00:25:50.385 --> 00:25:52.445
But, uh, I got a 2-year-old son
757
00:25:53.465 --> 00:25:55.165
and he falls asleep every night.
758
00:25:55.235 --> 00:25:58.085
He's got the Mario Andretti car from the movie cars
759
00:25:58.425 --> 00:26:01.405
and he falls asleep with it, so he's gonna be blown away.
760
00:26:01.405 --> 00:26:03.525
And I'm talking to the real Mario Andretti right here.
761
00:26:03.985 --> 00:26:05.645
But yeah, you, you, I mean,
762
00:26:05.645 --> 00:26:06.765
obviously a legend of this place.
763
00:26:07.885 --> 00:26:10.245
I mean, what does coming back here every may mean to you
764
00:26:10.785 --> 00:26:13.765
and to what does Indianapolis mean to you, just as a whole?
765
00:26:14.395 --> 00:26:17.005
Well, I think everyone in this business is
766
00:26:17.005 --> 00:26:18.045
saying the same thing.
767
00:26:18.075 --> 00:26:20.885
That, uh, every year
768
00:26:21.465 --> 00:26:23.165
you are looking forward to something new.
769
00:26:23.165 --> 00:26:25.765
Something because you know, there's excitement here. Yeah.
770
00:26:25.765 --> 00:26:29.245
Yeah. You know how much it means career wise, especially,
771
00:26:29.345 --> 00:26:33.125
you know, you when you're driving this can change your,
772
00:26:33.445 --> 00:26:34.885
actually, your life, your career.
773
00:26:35.115 --> 00:26:37.045
Yeah. And, um, and again,
774
00:26:37.605 --> 00:26:39.005
I don't know if there's another event
775
00:26:39.005 --> 00:26:40.285
that can do that for you.
776
00:26:40.545 --> 00:26:44.765
So, uh, it's that important then see all the, you know,
777
00:26:44.785 --> 00:26:48.085
the interest in the fans that you have, uh, you know,
778
00:26:48.155 --> 00:26:49.365
from everywhere.
779
00:26:49.825 --> 00:26:53.205
So yeah. It's got, uh, everything that you could hope
780
00:26:53.225 --> 00:26:54.525
for actually right here.
781
00:26:54.595 --> 00:26:57.205
Totally.
I don't know if I ever told you this story.
782
00:26:57.265 --> 00:27:00.405
So 2016, right? We were having breakfast on Fast Friday.
783
00:27:00.405 --> 00:27:01.925
What happened? Uh, nothing.
784
00:27:02.505 --> 00:27:06.165
And, um, We were having breakfast in the hospitality
785
00:27:06.625 --> 00:27:07.885
and you were like, oh,
786
00:27:07.885 --> 00:27:10.165
are you excited about the boost going up?
787
00:27:10.305 --> 00:27:13.605
And I was like, no, no, I'm not excited at all.
788
00:27:13.985 --> 00:27:16.245
And, uh, you know, I, I didn't know what to expect
789
00:27:16.265 --> 00:27:17.205
and I didn't really have an
790
00:27:17.205 --> 00:27:18.605
understanding of what it was gonna be like.
791
00:27:19.105 --> 00:27:20.725
And you were like, don't worry about it.
792
00:27:21.075 --> 00:27:23.085
When you go 10 miles an hour faster, that's
793
00:27:23.085 --> 00:27:24.725
that much more down force that you have.
794
00:27:25.325 --> 00:27:26.965
'cause you're going through the air quicker.
795
00:27:27.545 --> 00:27:28.605
And that made a lot of sense.
796
00:27:28.865 --> 00:27:31.125
And ever since then, I rely on his words of wisdom.
797
00:27:31.625 --> 00:27:33.445
He just put you at ease and it worked out. Yeah.
798
00:27:33.485 --> 00:27:34.565
I mean, if you're gonna listen to anyone,
799
00:27:34.565 --> 00:27:36.285
it's Mario, Mr. Andre.
800
00:27:36.735 --> 00:27:41.085
Sorry.
Yeah. Well that's the thing though.
801
00:27:41.085 --> 00:27:43.845
You're right. I mean it's uh, it's uh,
802
00:27:44.695 --> 00:27:46.245
speed is down force.
803
00:27:46.245 --> 00:27:47.405
Exactly. Obviously
804
00:27:47.405 --> 00:27:50.005
because of the ground effect Yes. And all that. So
805
00:27:50.005 --> 00:27:51.285
That's why we need trim more.
806
00:27:52.225 --> 00:27:54.485
You can trim more when you are going faster. Yeah.
807
00:27:54.485 --> 00:27:56.965
You know, so, you know, don't tell anybody.
808
00:27:57.405 --> 00:27:59.285
I know. I know. So what does it mean for you?
809
00:27:59.345 --> 00:28:03.325
So Marco, he's celebrating his 20th Indy 500 this, uh,
810
00:28:03.395 --> 00:28:05.565
this weekend, which is amazing. Shout out Marco
811
00:28:06.345 --> 00:28:07.925
And Hey,
Big friend of the show.
812
00:28:08.225 --> 00:28:10.925
And obviously Tim James and I. So Yeah, of course.
813
00:28:11.085 --> 00:28:13.005
I mean, amazing for obviously your
814
00:28:13.025 --> 00:28:14.325
son, but now your grandson.
815
00:28:14.505 --> 00:28:16.565
Two decades of Indy, five hundreds. What's that mean?
816
00:28:16.795 --> 00:28:20.005
Well, you know what, it's our blood in the race, you know,
817
00:28:20.115 --> 00:28:22.285
it's, uh, can't get any better than that.
818
00:28:22.285 --> 00:28:25.765
Yeah. So gives me just that extra reason
819
00:28:25.905 --> 00:28:27.365
to come here and enjoy it.
820
00:28:27.785 --> 00:28:31.405
And much thing I am being, for being in the cockpit. Yep.
821
00:28:31.405 --> 00:28:34.645
Obviously, because I'll never really lose that.
822
00:28:35.105 --> 00:28:36.245
Uh, you know, that desire,
823
00:28:36.275 --> 00:28:37.205
That edge. Yeah. If
824
00:28:37.205 --> 00:28:38.205
You will.
825
00:28:38.205 --> 00:28:39.245
I don't know if I have an edge, but,
826
00:28:39.435 --> 00:28:40.725
Well, maybe
The desire.
827
00:28:40.725 --> 00:28:43.365
Yeah. You know, so I love it so much
828
00:28:43.505 --> 00:28:45.565
and, uh, this is my rodeo
829
00:28:46.185 --> 00:28:49.645
and, uh, to have family in it can get any better than that.
830
00:28:49.795 --> 00:28:53.005
Amazing.
I gotta know your man abouts town.
831
00:28:53.065 --> 00:28:54.965

00:28:58.635 --> 00:28:59.635
Elmo. Where are you going?
834
00:29:01.215 --> 00:29:02.625
Whichever one is cheaper
835
00:29:06.045 --> 00:29:07.045
for you?
836
00:29:07.045 --> 00:29:07.985
It should be free. It should be free.
837
00:29:08.165 --> 00:29:09.265
So you should be good anyway.
838
00:29:09.265 --> 00:29:12.545
Where's, where's Joey going?
Whichever one is cheaper.
839
00:29:18.365 --> 00:29:20.705
I'm, I'm going wherever I could damn by with Alex,
840
00:29:20.805 --> 00:29:22.625
but that ain't ever happen, so No,
841
00:29:22.785 --> 00:29:23.945
I guess I'm not going anywhere.
842
00:29:24.445 --> 00:29:25.945
You know, we go wherever they have
843
00:29:25.945 --> 00:29:27.385
specials on prices, you know,
844
00:29:27.645 --> 00:29:29.065
You go Uhhuh, , Uhhuh .
845
00:29:29.175 --> 00:29:30.985
Yeah. Do you have to like, do you sit there
846
00:29:30.985 --> 00:29:34.665
and decide, okay, well this one has a stake named after me,
847
00:29:35.285 --> 00:29:36.865
but this one has a stake named after me.
848
00:29:36.865 --> 00:29:38.545
That's better Uhhuh or it's .
849
00:29:38.805 --> 00:29:40.265
Do you have to decide between the places
850
00:29:40.445 --> 00:29:41.685
or do you get the steaks named
851
00:29:41.685 --> 00:29:42.885
after you when you go to these places?
852
00:29:43.125 --> 00:29:44.125
I just look at the price.
853
00:29:44.315 --> 00:29:49.005
Okay. just out here bargain hunts. Yeah.
854
00:29:49.195 --> 00:29:50.285
Yeah. He's efficient.
855
00:29:50.725 --> 00:29:52.005
Wherever has a group ongoing, you know,
856
00:29:53.355 --> 00:29:54.845
Cracker Barrel probably has some good
857
00:29:54.845 --> 00:29:55.845
Options.
858
00:29:55.845 --> 00:29:57.445
Tell you what Alex can help. Yeah. Three
859
00:29:57.505 --> 00:29:58.645
For one type of thing.
860
00:29:59.475 --> 00:30:02.845
Yeah.
You ever been a Cracker Barrel? Mario ? No.
861
00:30:03.185 --> 00:30:04.485
No, but
I'll take you a Cracker Barrel
862
00:30:04.485 --> 00:30:05.805
Barrel that, that's on my bucket list.
863
00:30:06.705 --> 00:30:07.965
It should be. I think we can make
864
00:30:07.965 --> 00:30:09.165
that happen. Yeah, I know a guy
865
00:30:09.225 --> 00:30:10.225
Happen.
866
00:30:10.225 --> 00:30:11.725
I know a guy. I think you can order a bucket there. I
867
00:30:11.725 --> 00:30:14.205
Think , they have a lot of those. Yeah, they do.
868
00:30:14.705 --> 00:30:17.885
Um, Mario, what would you, uh, you know,
869
00:30:17.885 --> 00:30:20.445
when Marco 20 race, like Alex said,
870
00:30:20.505 --> 00:30:23.205
but started a little bit towards the back, you know,
871
00:30:23.205 --> 00:30:26.245
what would be your biggest piece of advice for him in terms
872
00:30:26.245 --> 00:30:27.685
of moving through the field on Sunday?
873
00:30:28.475 --> 00:30:31.365
Well, I don't think you need any needs. He's got
874
00:30:31.365 --> 00:30:32.125
The experience. Experience. Yeah.
875
00:30:32.905 --> 00:30:34.125
He is been here long enough
876
00:30:34.185 --> 00:30:37.685
and, uh, obviously you gotta read everything,
877
00:30:37.755 --> 00:30:40.645
what you have under you, where the capability is.
878
00:30:40.745 --> 00:30:44.005
Uh, so far they've been quite conservative with the power
879
00:30:44.005 --> 00:30:46.525
because, uh, it is a one-off driver.
880
00:30:47.065 --> 00:30:51.445
He gets one engine to do all of it, so they wanna make sure
881
00:30:51.445 --> 00:30:53.525
that they don't waste anything
882
00:30:53.745 --> 00:30:56.125
so you can go strong in the race.
883
00:30:56.345 --> 00:30:59.805
And, uh, and the important thing is
884
00:30:59.805 --> 00:31:01.405
that he's happy with the chassis.
885
00:31:02.025 --> 00:31:05.045
So now if he can look forward to, you know,
886
00:31:05.045 --> 00:31:08.005
some more power throughout the race, you know, for the race,
887
00:31:08.425 --> 00:31:10.925
that's gonna work for him quite well. What's
888
00:31:10.925 --> 00:31:12.405
Been like being a great grandfather?
889
00:31:13.505 --> 00:31:15.405
Uh, it's, it's a joy.
890
00:31:15.515 --> 00:31:17.045
Yeah. Do you have a favorite yet? .

Yes,
Sir. So don't let the kids down.
921
00:32:20.285 --> 00:32:22.205
I understand that. Yes. Yeah.

I'll tell you, if you got a quick
923
00:32:24.445 --> 00:32:25.645
moment, I'll tell you the story.
924
00:32:25.945 --> 00:32:29.245
Yes, please. About, you know, when Marco was about, uh,
925
00:32:29.585 --> 00:32:31.845
six years of age in school, uh,
926
00:32:31.915 --> 00:32:34.405
teacher was asking all the kids, what does your
927
00:32:35.305 --> 00:32:36.325
dad do for a living?
928
00:32:36.745 --> 00:32:40.525
And so Marco told the teachers that my dad goes, uh,
929
00:32:40.525 --> 00:32:43.085
to the airport and makes bread. And
930
00:32:43.105 --> 00:32:44.105
so
.
931
00:32:45.705 --> 00:32:46.765
So I knew the teacher.
932
00:32:47.065 --> 00:32:50.445
And then, you know, that, I don't know, some weeks later,
933
00:32:50.585 --> 00:32:52.285
you know, I, I came across and,
934
00:32:52.505 --> 00:32:54.165
and the gentleman says, uh, you know,
935
00:32:54.355 --> 00:32:57.205
what did Malcolm mean when he said that you go
936
00:32:57.205 --> 00:32:58.445
to the airport and make the bread?
937
00:32:58.475 --> 00:33:02.405
Yeah. So what was happening is, Marco, I was always,
938
00:33:02.465 --> 00:33:03.925
you know, always going Yes.
939
00:33:03.945 --> 00:33:08.285
Always had a briefcase, a suitcase my hand and, and leaving.
940
00:33:08.425 --> 00:33:11.245
He says, but dad, where are you going now?
941
00:33:11.445 --> 00:33:13.725
I said, I'm going to the airport. I gotta make the bread.
942
00:33:15.345 --> 00:33:16.885
So
I mean, Michael, yeah.
943
00:33:17.845 --> 00:33:19.805
I gotta go up and make the bread. He
944
00:33:19.805 --> 00:33:20.445
Took it. Literally,
945
00:33:20.995 --> 00:33:21.995
They took
It.
946
00:33:21.995 --> 00:33:22.845
All right. Well,
947
00:33:22.965 --> 00:33:24.005
I thought I was baking bread.
948
00:33:24.225 --> 00:33:26.565
Oh dude, I can to make him bake some bread, man. Uhhuh.
949
00:33:26.825 --> 00:33:27.825
And then he'll break the bread.

Oh, let's go. Hey, hey. Take a seat.

00:34:31.665 --> 00:34:35.715
Come on. I don't know. I was not here last year, obviously.
975
00:34:36.095 --> 00:34:39.835
Um, well, you come every year.
976
00:34:40.015 --> 00:34:42.955
Is this your thing every year? Hell yeah, man. I love that.
977
00:34:42.975 --> 00:34:45.275
He, he is an Indy car fan. Well, thanks for being here.
978
00:34:45.455 --> 00:34:47.395
We appreciate you. Heck yeah, man. Yeah, right on.
979
00:34:47.515 --> 00:34:49.675
I like cars, bro. Anything with cars? Okay,
980
00:34:49.735 --> 00:34:51.275
I'm in, bro. So what are you driving right now?
981
00:34:51.695 --> 00:34:53.835
Uh, it depends on which sport, you know, like, uh,
982
00:34:53.915 --> 00:34:55.555
I have a drifting team, like I drift.
983
00:34:55.705 --> 00:35:00.035
Nice. Um, I actually make my owners allow me to drift. Okay.
984
00:35:00.135 --> 00:35:03.475
And, uh, I drift. I have a E 46 with a LS swap engine. Okay.
985
00:35:03.535 --> 00:35:05.515
But my daily, I drive a Escalade V
986
00:35:05.775 --> 00:35:08.835
and I have a, uh, S 63. Yes. Mercedes.
987
00:35:09.335 --> 00:35:11.155
So, quick question on the drifting thing. Yeah.
988
00:35:11.175 --> 00:35:12.475
Are we, are we for
989
00:35:12.895 --> 00:35:16.715
or against what, uh, Jim Kana did, um,
990
00:35:17.175 --> 00:35:18.875
to drifting, if you will?
991
00:35:19.155 --> 00:35:21.395
I mean, that was obviously an entertainment video. Yeah.
992
00:35:21.395 --> 00:35:24.915
That incorporated drifting, but it wasn't actually drifting.
993
00:35:25.095 --> 00:35:26.395
It, it wasn't really drifting,
994
00:35:26.415 --> 00:35:27.995
but it brought more eyes to it for sure.
995
00:35:28.015 --> 00:35:29.635
It brought more eyes to the sport.
996
00:35:29.735 --> 00:35:32.275
And anytime that you can bring more eyes to a sport that,
997
00:35:32.295 --> 00:35:34.635
you know, doesn't have the attention that it should.
998
00:35:34.655 --> 00:35:36.355
Yes. I'm for it. All right. I'm
999
00:35:36.355 --> 00:35:37.355
For it.
1000
00:35:37.355 --> 00:35:37.765
Yep. All media is good media.
1001
00:35:37.905 --> 00:35:42.085
All media is,
Well, yeah, actually, I mean, not
1002
00:35:42.085 --> 00:35:43.365
to say the obvious, but there's been a lot
1003
00:35:43.365 --> 00:35:44.525
of media this, this week.
1004
00:35:44.745 --> 00:35:46.365
Ah, and it hasn't been necessarily great.
1005
00:35:46.665 --> 00:35:47.885
And a people are paying attention.
1006
00:35:48.385 --> 00:35:50.965
So I think we're gonna, we're we're just on a rocket ship
1007
00:35:50.965 --> 00:35:52.045
of, of ratings right now.
1008

00:36:30.425 --> 00:36:32.325
Oh, oh, oh,
Oh. Like, she's a superstar
1027
00:36:32.625 --> 00:36:34.885
and she's so humble and she's so cool.
1028
00:36:35.485 --> 00:36:37.845
I think that, you know, she's, she's just dope bro.
1029
00:36:37.905 --> 00:36:39.165
And she like, she's super dope.
1030
00:36:39.395 --> 00:36:41.965
Like, I wasn't like really big on like what she's been in.
1031
00:36:41.965 --> 00:36:42.965
Sure. Like, I didn't know.
1032
00:36:43.065 --> 00:36:44.405
And then it was just like, yeah, that's Hailey.
1033
00:36:44.585 --> 00:36:45.925
I'm like, Hailey. All right, cool.
1034
00:36:45.925 --> 00:36:47.405
And then I, and then you look at what she's did
1035
00:36:47.405 --> 00:36:49.765
and it's like, yo, this girl is super dope, man.
1036
00:36:49.985 --> 00:36:53.405
So walk us through, walk us through your year last year.
1037
00:36:53.745 --> 00:36:57.725
Um, obviously a a a great run again for the team. Yeah.
1038
00:36:57.945 --> 00:37:01.525
Um, you know, in, in so many terms, you know, a favorite to,
1039
00:37:01.745 --> 00:37:03.045
to, to, to go all the way.
1040
00:37:03.665 --> 00:37:07.165
Um, I, I presume obviously a little bit disappointed
1041
00:37:07.165 --> 00:37:08.565
with how it ended up. Oh,
1042
00:37:09.225 --> 00:37:10.445
Who likes
Losing what?
1043
00:37:10.445 --> 00:37:13.165
Exactly. So, but what was the takeaways in
1044
00:37:13.165 --> 00:37:14.405
general from, from the year?
1045
00:37:15.345 --> 00:37:19.125
Uh, the takeaways is it's hard to win in the NFL. Yeah.
1046
00:37:19.235 --> 00:37:21.725
It's extremely hard. Every team is good.
1047
00:37:21.725 --> 00:37:22.925
Every team has a chance.
1048
00:37:23.545 --> 00:37:26.605
Um, the, the looking at
1049
00:37:26.705 --> 00:37:30.205
how the world looks at the NFL, they look at wins and losses
1050
00:37:31.065 --> 00:37:34.085
and they look at games matched up by wins and losses.
1051
00:37:34.195 --> 00:37:36.125
Like if we play a team that is oh,
1052
00:37:36.665 --> 00:37:40.005
or one in 11, like they're expecting us to just go out there
1053
00:37:40.005 --> 00:37:41.405
and just beat them to Sure.
1054
00:37:41.465 --> 00:37:44.765
To crumbles. But realistically, every team has an option.
1055
00:37:45.265 --> 00:37:47.405
Has an opportunity to win every Sunday. Yeah.
1056
00:37:47.545 --> 00:37:49.245
And, uh, it's hard, but, you know,
1057
00:37:49.385 --> 00:37:51.725
the takeaways is really just you, you have
1058
00:37:51.725 --> 00:37:52.885
to keep your mind sharp.
1059
00:37:52.945 --> 00:37:54.085
You have to keep your body sharp
1060
00:37:54.145 --> 00:37:55.845
and you have to keep going with it,
1061
00:37:55.845 --> 00:37:57.805
with the confident, um, mindset.
1062
00:37:58.325 --> 00:37:59.725
'cause you know, it's a long season.
1063
00:37:59.905 --> 00:38:01.805
So this is a question I've always been so curious about
1064
00:38:02.745 --> 00:38:05.045
is, and I'm sure it's not right,
1065
00:38:05.305 --> 00:38:07.885
but the preparation, going into a game against,
1066
00:38:08.015 --> 00:38:10.165
let's say an undefeated team versus a team
1067
00:38:10.185 --> 00:38:11.805
that's one in nine, right?
1068
00:38:12.025 --> 00:38:13.765
You're going through the same process. Yeah.
1069
00:38:13.785 --> 00:38:15.925
But do you have to consciously make an effort
1070
00:38:15.925 --> 00:38:18.445
to keep everyone still a hundred percent focused?
1071
00:38:18.845 --> 00:38:20.045
'cause it, it's not gonna come easy.
1072
00:38:20.445 --> 00:38:22.005
A hundred percent because like, you know,
1073
00:38:22.005 --> 00:38:24.645
every year you have young players, you have new players,
1074
00:38:24.705 --> 00:38:25.885
you have, you have players
1075
00:38:25.955 --> 00:38:26.955
that
,
1076
00:38:29.585 --> 00:38:31.725
Uh, you have brand new teammates every year.
1077
00:38:31.745 --> 00:38:33.565
So like, I've been with the bills for nine years.
1078
00:38:33.595 --> 00:38:35.525
Like, so Josh has been there for eight.
1079
00:38:35.545 --> 00:38:38.605
So like the older guys, we kind of know how
1080
00:38:38.605 --> 00:38:39.845
to respect the game.
1081
00:38:39.845 --> 00:38:41.045
And then you have young guys that like,
1082
00:38:41.045 --> 00:38:42.565
might go in and think exactly that.
1083
00:38:42.715 --> 00:38:44.885
Like, oh, like this is like just gonna be a walk. Right.
1084
00:38:45.105 --> 00:38:47.045
But it's not that. But it is hard.
1085
00:38:47.105 --> 00:38:49.165
It is definitely hard because when you're winning
1086
00:38:49.185 --> 00:38:50.965
and you're winning and you're winning, it kind
1087
00:38:50.965 --> 00:38:52.445
of just seems like it's just gonna happen.
1088
00:38:52.555 --> 00:38:54.885
Yeah. But realistically it's not.
1089
00:38:54.945 --> 00:38:56.605
And that's where you have to be a pro
1090
00:38:56.905 --> 00:38:59.805
and you have to dive back into you like, you know, the,
1091
00:38:59.905 --> 00:39:01.125
the, the fundamentals.
1092
00:39:01.245 --> 00:39:03.325
'cause you can get away from the fundamentals of the game
1093
00:39:03.515 --> 00:39:04.645
because of the wins.
1094
00:39:04.985 --> 00:39:06.605
But when you're a true pro, you know,
1095
00:39:06.605 --> 00:39:08.005
you help the young guys understand
1096
00:39:08.005 --> 00:39:09.525
that it's the fundamentals
1097
00:39:09.525 --> 00:39:10.925
and the small things that take you that
1098
00:39:11.365 --> 00:39:12.365
Distance.
1099
00:39:12.365 --> 00:39:14.045
I gotta tell an awesome story about Dion.
1100
00:39:14.265 --> 00:39:15.805
So I had a show in Buffalo,
1101
00:39:16.365 --> 00:39:18.965
a standup show in Buffalo a year ago.
1102
00:39:19.565 --> 00:39:22.125
I go through the Buffalo Bills facility, they bring me in.
1103
00:39:22.205 --> 00:39:23.565
I see Dion in the cafeteria
1104
00:39:23.655 --> 00:39:25.325
where they introduced me, Hey man, yeah.
1105
00:39:25.325 --> 00:39:26.965
You got a show here tonight? Yeah, I got a show.
1106
00:39:26.965 --> 00:39:28.885
It's at this place. He's like, oh, I might come through.
1107
00:39:29.145 --> 00:39:31.325
I'm like, Dion Dawkins has never come through
1108
00:39:31.325 --> 00:39:32.685
to my show, but I appreciate it.
1109
00:39:32.685 --> 00:39:34.925
Right. All of a sudden I end the show.
1110
00:39:34.925 --> 00:39:36.685
Everybody's like, Dion Dawkins is out
1111
00:39:36.685 --> 00:39:37.765
there, my show in Buffalo.
1112
00:39:38.065 --> 00:39:40.565
So Dion Dawkins, true to his word, came out
1113
00:39:40.785 --> 00:39:42.245
to see me perform out in Buffalo.
1114
00:39:42.945 --> 00:39:44.525
That's just the kind of dude, bro.
1115
00:39:44.595 --> 00:39:45.805
Yeah, bro. Was he fun? Yeah,
1116
00:39:45.805 --> 00:39:47.245
It was pretty funny, man. Cool, cool.
1117
00:39:47.245 --> 00:39:49.125
That's some stuff I love that I gotta run.
1118
00:39:49.705 --> 00:39:51.805
Um, listen, thanks for being here. Appreciate you sir.
1119
00:39:51.805 --> 00:39:53.405
Thanks for coming. Yes, sir. Love you. Alright.
1120
00:39:53.865 --> 00:39:56.165
See you brother. Alexander Ross. See right there.
1121
00:39:56.165 --> 00:39:57.725
Driver of the 20 car baby.
1122
00:39:57.795 --> 00:40:00.765
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He's gotta it go.
1123
00:40:00.985 --> 00:40:04.525
All right. Um, so, so Dion, you, you know, you've been,
1124
00:40:04.525 --> 00:40:06.045
like we said, you were here last year with us.
1125
00:40:06.045 --> 00:40:09.845
You've been in, in coming to the 500 for a long time.
1126
00:40:09.865 --> 00:40:11.965
Now you've gotten into drifting like
1127
00:40:11.965 --> 00:40:14.285
that doesn't seem like a normal route for people
1128
00:40:14.285 --> 00:40:15.445
that are in professional football.
1129
00:40:15.445 --> 00:40:17.165
So how did this, how did this come about?
1130
00:40:17.595 --> 00:40:18.645
This indie?
Yeah,
1131
00:40:18.945 --> 00:40:21.765
Daniel, um, my guy, Dan,
Dan Whale who's, yeah.
1132
00:40:22.135 --> 00:40:23.445
Who's around here somewhere. Daniel
1133
00:40:23.625 --> 00:40:24.625
Man.
1134
00:40:24.625 --> 00:40:26.965
Yeah. Daniel Whale. He's, he's over there with his family.
1135
00:40:27.315 --> 00:40:28.605
He's a big Bills fan. Yeah.
1136
00:40:28.705 --> 00:40:31.045
And he sent me a box of gear
1137
00:40:31.145 --> 00:40:32.805
and stuff when he was with Andretti
1138
00:40:33.145 --> 00:40:36.205
and he sent a bunch of gear and I had a big box in my locker
1139
00:40:36.495 --> 00:40:37.965
after practice in one day.
1140
00:40:37.965 --> 00:40:41.005
And I opened it up and it was just a bunch of cool stuff.
1141
00:40:41.225 --> 00:40:42.485
And I was like, yo, this is cool.
1142
00:40:42.745 --> 00:40:44.365
I'm not really used to this world.
1143
00:40:44.805 --> 00:40:47.045
I put the hat on, started rocking the hat every day
1144
00:40:47.105 --> 00:40:48.245
for media and stuff like that.
1145
00:40:48.345 --> 00:40:49.405
And, and it was cool.
1146
00:40:49.425 --> 00:40:52.085
And then, uh, he was like, I want you to, to come down.
1147
00:40:52.485 --> 00:40:54.565
I came down, I experienced this one time
1148
00:40:54.585 --> 00:40:57.205
and I was like, bro, this is one of the dopest things.
1149
00:40:57.355 --> 00:40:58.445
This, this becomes one
1150
00:40:58.445 --> 00:41:01.045
of the most populated places in America for this time.
1151
00:41:01.045 --> 00:41:03.285
And I'm like, bro, I want to add to that population.
1152
00:41:03.735 --> 00:41:06.965
Let's go, man. I love that. Yeah, absolutely. You
1153
00:41:06.965 --> 00:41:07.965
Know?
1154
00:41:07.965 --> 00:41:09.645
Absolutely. Yeah. Oh, cheese fan. Look, we got a cheese fan.
1155
00:41:09.705 --> 00:41:13.645
Oh, . And look at it being so polite. Hey, hey.
1156
00:41:13.645 --> 00:41:15.005
But you lucky I got these headphones on.
1157
00:41:15.005 --> 00:41:16.805
I'll jump over this gate, man. . Actually,
1158
00:41:18.165 --> 00:41:19.365
Actually that would
Be great.
1159
00:41:19.365 --> 00:41:20.445
People would be real brave out here.
1160
00:41:20.505 --> 00:41:21.685
I'm telling you. Yeah, that would
1161
00:41:21.925 --> 00:41:24.165
Be great for our numbers if you wanted to do that.
1162
00:41:24.955 --> 00:41:27.645
Yeah. , that's for sure. Fire with me. I'm sure.
1163
00:41:27.645 --> 00:41:30.765
Serious with it. Yeah. Yeah. Bring more eyeballs, stuff. No
1164
00:41:30.765 --> 00:41:32.605
Protection, brother. No protection.
1165
00:41:33.065 --> 00:41:34.445
So how does this, how does this compare though?
1166
00:41:34.485 --> 00:41:35.485
I mean, like, what do you, I mean,
1167
00:41:35.485 --> 00:41:37.005
you've been I'm sure to everything now.
1168
00:41:37.005 --> 00:41:39.205
Mm-hmm . I think you were at the Derby a few years ago. Yes.
1169
00:41:39.205 --> 00:41:41.485
Yep. Uh, I'm sure you've been to the Super Bowl.
1170
00:41:41.485 --> 00:41:43.005
We want you playing in the Super Bowl for sure.
1171
00:41:43.065 --> 00:41:44.925
But you, you know, I'm sure you've been there. Yep.
1172
00:41:45.225 --> 00:41:46.885
You're at the 500. You know what,
1173
00:41:46.885 --> 00:41:48.485
what's different about it compared
1174
00:41:48.485 --> 00:41:49.925
to those and how's it compare?
1175
00:41:50.545 --> 00:41:51.605
I'm gonna tell you the truth, bro.
1176
00:41:52.065 --> 00:41:53.925
You can't compare this to anything else.
1177
00:41:54.195 --> 00:41:56.845
This is, this is, this is a unique feeling.
1178
00:41:56.995 --> 00:41:58.285
This is a unique thing.
1179
00:41:58.985 --> 00:42:02.165
Uh, flying in here, landing here, listening
1180
00:42:02.165 --> 00:42:03.285
to the people on the plane.
1181
00:42:03.675 --> 00:42:06.925
Like, I was on a plane this, this morning at 5 45.
1182
00:42:06.945 --> 00:42:08.285
And everybody, not everybody,
1183
00:42:08.305 --> 00:42:10.205
but the majority of the people on the plane
1184
00:42:10.205 --> 00:42:11.285
were talking, right?
1185
00:42:11.355 --> 00:42:13.005
Like, they're not sleeping. They're excited
1186
00:42:13.005 --> 00:42:14.085
about the race getting here.
1187
00:42:14.085 --> 00:42:15.085
They're excited about race week.
1188
00:42:15.085 --> 00:42:16.645
Everybody's just excited about getting here.
1189
00:42:17.065 --> 00:42:18.605
Um, this is just a different feeling, bro.
1190
00:42:18.605 --> 00:42:20.245
Like, you have all different types of people,
1191
00:42:20.745 --> 00:42:22.765
all different types of hues, all different types
1192
00:42:22.765 --> 00:42:24.725

I'm so glad you said that. The smell. Oh yeah.

It's such an underrated
1202
00:42:39.955 --> 00:42:41.245
Park. It's that smell, bro.
1203
00:42:41.385 --> 00:42:42.845
You get in there and you,

Yeah. It only happens at a place like this. And
1206
00:42:46.645 --> 00:42:47.645
You gotta come to smell it.

You gotta come or like, look, and not to separate it,
1208
00:42:51.025 --> 00:42:52.085
but the drifting smell
1209
00:42:52.145 --> 00:42:54.525
of the burnt tires is similar to the smell out there.
1210
00:42:54.865 --> 00:42:58.005
It, it's, it's that burnt tire smell that really gets you
1211
00:42:58.005 --> 00:42:59.285

You ever done a pit stop?
1214
00:43:03.845 --> 00:43:05.445
I I, I feel like they, somebody would put you
1215
00:43:05.445 --> 00:43:07.125
on a pit stop, like a pit crew. Have you done
1216
00:43:07.125 --> 00:43:08.125
That?
1217
00:43:08.125 --> 00:43:09.325
I have been down there. I have never touched anything,
1218
00:43:09.345 --> 00:43:11.445
but I have been down there for a pit change. Yes.
1219
00:43:11.625 --> 00:43:13.005
He would be Tim, he would be a,
1220
00:43:13.165 --> 00:43:15.165
a baller at like tossing the tires.
1221
00:43:15.235 --> 00:43:17.205
Yeah. You know what I mean? Or run that gas there.
1222
00:43:17.205 --> 00:43:20.165
Or if the jack broke the car, just lift up himself.
1223
00:43:20.465 --> 00:43:21.765
All the guy right here. All
1224
00:43:21.765 --> 00:43:22.765

Right. Like all the big boys do. The big boy stuff.

The gas, the, the jack and what, like the tires? Yep.
1227
00:43:28.265 --> 00:43:30.605
Or the tires are like a medium guy. 'cause they have to run,
1228
00:43:30.785 --> 00:43:32.725
Run, run faster, run around. But
1229
00:43:32.725 --> 00:43:34.125
The big dudes with the gas
1230
00:43:34.125 --> 00:43:35.405
and they bring that thing over, they just,
1231
00:43:36.065 --> 00:43:37.085
and then they just get up outta there.
1232
00:43:37.145 --> 00:43:38.485

I come down, I go in the pits.
1308

We stand over by the, the uh, team. We just watch.
1309
00:46:07.705 --> 00:46:10.845
We just feel it. We actually go, I don't kiss the bricks.

00:46:11.205 --> 00:46:12.405
I don't kiss the bricks. Super.
1311
00:46:12.585 --> 00:46:14.245
Oh, you didn't win yet?
Yeah, yeah.
1312
00:46:14.245 --> 00:46:17.085
But you know, no obviously, but like, I don't go like,
1313
00:46:17.205 --> 00:46:18.165
'cause a lot like people like line
1314
00:46:18.165 --> 00:46:19.085
up and literally kiss the bricks.
1315
00:46:19.085 --> 00:46:21.805
Yeah. I don't kiss the bricks. I watch the people kiss the
1316
00:46:21.805 --> 00:46:22.805
Brick.
1317
00:46:22.805 --> 00:46:22.805
Does it gross you out? Too
1318
00:46:22.805 --> 00:46:23.965
many germs? Too many lips. I mean,
1319
00:46:23.965 --> 00:46:24.965
No.
1320
00:46:24.965 --> 00:46:25.845
Gross me out of just not kissing bricks. Alright.
1321
00:46:26.065 --> 00:46:27.085
You know, if it's not kissing bricks
1322
00:46:27.085 --> 00:46:28.765
Yet, don't wanna kiss bricks
Percent.
1323
00:46:29.205 --> 00:46:30.765
I thought it was like a respect thing.
1324
00:46:30.885 --> 00:46:32.125
I think you're like, well I can't do that.
1325
00:46:32.205 --> 00:46:33.245
I didn't win, you know.
1326
00:46:33.465 --> 00:46:34.565
But no, I get, because like,
1327
00:46:34.565 --> 00:46:35.845
that's also a weird thing to do.
1328
00:46:35.875 --> 00:46:36.965
It's, it's weird like kissing the brick.
1329
00:46:36.995 --> 00:46:39.045
I've never kissed the bricks. It's really, it's
1330
00:46:39.045 --> 00:46:40.045
Cool, but it's weird.
1331
00:46:40.085 --> 00:46:41.685
I didn't win. It's just not for show.
1332
00:46:42.035 --> 00:46:43.405
It's not for me. Who's kissed the bricks?
1333
00:46:43.405 --> 00:46:45.165
Does anybody else kissed the bricks down here? Look, look.
1334
00:46:45.165 --> 00:46:47.285
Brick kisser, brick kissed. The bricker brick. Brick kisser.
1335
00:46:47.285 --> 00:46:48.645
Come on, man. No, she's done it multiple times.
1336
00:46:49.385 --> 00:46:51.165
She was like, yeah, I've done it a couple times.
1337
00:46:52.505 --> 00:46:53.525
You'll, you'll see the people.
1338
00:46:53.585 --> 00:46:55.205
And, and we were just talking about this, I think it was,
1339
00:46:55.225 --> 00:46:57.725
uh, Felix Rosenquist when Hint was interviewing yesterday,
1340
00:46:58.135 --> 00:46:59.405
won't even step on 'em.
1341
00:46:59.595 --> 00:47:00.725
Okay. He, they will,
1342
00:47:00.785 --> 00:47:03.245
he will step over the bricks just to make sure.
1343
00:47:03.525 --> 00:47:04.685
'cause it's like a, no, I think it was,
1344
00:47:04.685 --> 00:47:07.605
it was Scott McLaughlin respecting he will step over the
1345
00:47:07.605 --> 00:47:09.085
bricks until he wins it.
1346
00:47:09.245 --> 00:47:11.805
A respecting Yeah.
As a driver. Absolutely. Right.
1347
00:47:11.805 --> 00:47:13.685
Yeah. I ain't ever getting one of those cars. Right.
1348
00:47:13.705 --> 00:47:14.765
So I'll kiss the bricks.
1349
00:47:14.985 --> 00:47:17.245
You know, I did the, I did the half marathon
1350
00:47:17.245 --> 00:47:18.565
around here a few weeks ago,
1351
00:47:18.585 --> 00:47:20.405
and people were like stopping mid run.
1352
00:47:20.505 --> 00:47:22.165
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I decided stuff.
1353
00:47:22.165 --> 00:47:23.685
If I stop, I'm not starting right.
1354
00:47:24.115 --> 00:47:28.925
I'll pass out on the bridge. Yeah. . Um, alright, so Dion.
1355
00:47:29.005 --> 00:47:31.165
Alright, so back to a little bit of football talk.

and, and your cupboard now.
1361
00:47:42.325 --> 00:47:46.125
Yeah. What's the, what do the Buffalo Bills need to do, bro?
1362
00:47:46.225 --> 00:47:47.445
To get over the top? Man,
1363
00:47:47.675 --> 00:47:50.605
They asked this question all of the time, you know,
1364
00:47:51.545 --> 00:47:53.485
and I'm gonna relate it to, to racing.
1365
00:47:53.945 --> 00:47:55.285
We have to just be in the race, bro.
1366
00:47:56.505 --> 00:47:58.565
As long as we're in the race, we have a chance to
1367
00:47:58.565 --> 00:47:59.965
Be there at the a t championship.
1368
00:48:00.385 --> 00:48:02.725
We just have to continue to have the opportunity to play.
1369
00:48:03.185 --> 00:48:05.885
You know, just keep giving us the opportunity to get there.
1370
00:48:06.545 --> 00:48:08.805
Let all the calls be what they are. Everything.
1371
00:48:08.865 --> 00:48:10.485
We just want everything just to be right.
1372
00:48:10.905 --> 00:48:12.565
As long as we have a chance, we have a chance.
1373
00:48:12.905 --> 00:48:15.485
At the end of the day, there's one winner, right? Yeah.
1374
00:48:15.695 --> 00:48:20.165
There is 31 losers Yeah. As units every year. I respect it.
1375
00:48:20.465 --> 00:48:22.405
I'm thankful for the positions that we've been in.
1376
00:48:23.105 --> 00:48:25.125
Sooner or later we will cross that line.
1377
00:48:25.385 --> 00:48:28.485
We have Josh Allen, they got me, they have these guys.
1378
00:48:28.865 --> 00:48:31.965

00:48:33.565 --> 00:48:36.005
That, that's, that's in our future, right? Yeah.
1381
00:48:36.035 --> 00:48:39.365
It's in our future. Whether it happens two years previous
1382
00:48:39.385 --> 00:48:42.445
or two years, like behind whatever,
1383
00:48:42.585 --> 00:48:44.165
or in front of us, it's gonna happen.
1384
00:48:44.705 --> 00:48:46.045
And, uh, I'm just thankful
1385
00:48:46.045 --> 00:48:47.485
to be in a position to keep swinging at it.
1386
00:48:47.545 --> 00:48:48.645
That's all we need. Keep

Mafia. Yeah.

Bills mafia. We don't look, but the fan base here is cool,
1394
00:48:58.325 --> 00:49:00.325
but there's so many different fan bases, right? Look,
1395
00:49:00.485 --> 00:49:01.765
I haven't seen anybody
Jump on a
1396
00:49:01.975 --> 00:49:03.005

00:49:15.885 --> 00:49:17.005
to jump through tables now.
1404

whenever you guys are out here, and it is killing him.
1435

So that's the last time we're gonna
1439
00:50:44.725 --> 00:50:45.845

00:50:57.235 --> 00:50:58.605
What are the, uh,
Go ahead.
1447
00:50:58.685 --> 00:50:59.885
I was gonna say, I did the, I get
1448
00:50:59.885 --> 00:51:02.725
to play the golf course once, like 20 years ago.
1449
00:51:03.075 --> 00:51:05.005
Okay. So I gotta see the track,
1450
00:51:05.025 --> 00:51:06.885
but I, yeah, it was the first time actually being, the first
1451
00:51:06.885 --> 00:51:07.885
Time seeing the cars.
1452
00:51:07.885 --> 00:51:09.445
So you guys probably just missed the cars
1453
00:51:09.575 --> 00:51:10.575
Going around.

Yeah. Yeah. What are the, uh,
1456
00:51:12.835 --> 00:51:14.565
initial takeaways from the Indianapolis

Motor Speedway here? What do you
1458
00:51:15.685 --> 00:51:16.685

Lot of people man. Yeah. Ton of people. It's massive.
1460
00:51:19.115 --> 00:51:20.685
It's a big place. A lot to take in.
1461
00:51:21.345 --> 00:51:22.845
Oh, man. Yeah. Do you know
1462
00:51:22.965 --> 00:51:24.165

uh, watching from Sunday? No clue.
1464
00:51:26.225 --> 00:51:27.845
No,
I think they're, I think we're gonna be right
1465
00:51:27.845 --> 00:51:29.885
above Felix's Road crew.
1466
00:51:30.235 --> 00:51:32.045
Okay. There we go. Right there. Hell yeah. Hell yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. So go ahead.
1470
00:51:40.145 --> 00:51:44.165
Um, alright, so you guys, I mean, you guys have been around
1471
00:51:44.345 --> 00:51:46.725
for what feels like forever.
1472
00:51:46.945 --> 00:51:49.165
For as long as I've been listening to music, you know,
1473
00:51:49.165 --> 00:51:50.125
we've been, we've been listening
1474
00:51:50.125 --> 00:51:51.045
to your music and loving it.
1475
00:51:51.145 --> 00:51:52.085
You guys have had like a
1476
00:51:52.205 --> 00:51:53.485
resurgence come, came back together.
1477
00:51:53.485 --> 00:51:54.405
You're, you're doing this stuff.
1478
00:51:54.755 --> 00:51:55.765
What, what's that been like?
1479
00:51:55.785 --> 00:51:57.325
How did it, how did it come back together
1480
00:51:57.465 --> 00:52:00.125
and how did this, the new tours start and things like that?
1481
00:52:00.705 --> 00:52:03.245
It all began, I think I called, uh, Scott
1482
00:52:03.345 --> 00:52:05.365
and we, we had done a rock cruise.
1483
00:52:05.675 --> 00:52:08.845
Yeah. And, um, I told Scott I think it would be a great
1484
00:52:08.845 --> 00:52:10.805
thing for us to do, and it, it did so well.
1485
00:52:10.805 --> 00:52:13.045
We're like, you know, let's schedule a tour.
1486
00:52:13.065 --> 00:52:14.365
And it's just kept on going, you know?
1487
00:52:14.365 --> 00:52:16.285
Now we're, now we're on our second year of touring.
1488
00:52:17.145 --> 00:52:19.045
You guys did, I, I, I got the notes.
1489
00:52:19.065 --> 00:52:20.725
You did that back in 2024, right?
1490
00:52:20.725 --> 00:52:22.045
The yacht, the, yep. Yeah. Cruise.
1491
00:52:22.045 --> 00:52:24.645
Mm-hmm. The, the, yeah. We did two in 2024.
1492
00:52:24.665 --> 00:52:29.045
We just did, uh, the 20 25 1 about a month ago. Okay.
1493
00:52:29.225 --> 00:52:31.325
So it's, it's an ongoing thing that we're gonna,
1494
00:52:31.325 --> 00:52:32.485
we're gonna keep cruising for a
1495
00:52:32.485 --> 00:52:33.485
While.
1496
00:52:33.485 --> 00:52:34.285
Was there, like, did you have to shake off some
1497
00:52:34.285 --> 00:52:35.685
of the dust come coming back?
1498
00:52:35.685 --> 00:52:37.165
Or was it, you guys just always been
1499
00:52:37.595 --> 00:52:38.595
It's like riding a bike.
1500
00:52:38.595 --> 00:52:39.645
Okay. . It's like bike
1501
00:52:40.955 --> 00:52:43.485
Just in front of, you know, tens of thousands of people.
1502
00:52:43.595 --> 00:52:46.005
Yeah. Yeah. It's a little different than rehearsing in
1503
00:52:46.005 --> 00:52:48.565
your, you know, your basement or whatever, but,
1504
00:52:48.675 --> 00:52:50.965
Well, that's something I'm curious about is that,
1505
00:52:50.965 --> 00:52:53.405
you know, creed, any band, a lot of people talk about,
1506
00:52:53.505 --> 00:52:55.605
you know, the, the front man Right.
1507
00:52:55.605 --> 00:52:57.725
And everything, but then behind the scenes, kind
1508
00:52:57.725 --> 00:52:59.925
of the guys running the engine, right?
1509
00:53:00.025 --> 00:53:02.285
We got the Indy cars out there running the engine.
1510
00:53:02.705 --> 00:53:04.085
Um, you know what, what,
1511
00:53:04.085 --> 00:53:05.285
what is that experience like for you?
1512
00:53:05.285 --> 00:53:07.085
How does that all come together for, for y'all?
1513
00:53:07.915 --> 00:53:11.085
It's been amazing. I mean, mark and myself
1514
00:53:11.105 --> 00:53:12.565
and Brian are bass player, have,
1515
00:53:12.635 --> 00:53:14.365
have been playing together for a long time.
1516
00:53:14.705 --> 00:53:17.805
Um, we've on and off with Scott through the years,
1517
00:53:17.825 --> 00:53:20.485
and now we're, we're back in a really, really good spot.
1518
00:53:20.785 --> 00:53:23.885
Um, everybody's in a great head space.
1519
00:53:24.305 --> 00:53:27.205
Uh, we're playing, I think, better than we ever have.
1520
00:53:27.945 --> 00:53:32.125
Um, and as far as, you know, everybody has their role
1521
00:53:32.225 --> 00:53:33.525
and we're comfortable in that role.
1522
00:53:33.665 --> 00:53:37.245
And, um, again, you've got, you got a driver,
1523
00:53:37.265 --> 00:53:38.725
you got a pit crew, you got a manager,
1524
00:53:38.785 --> 00:53:40.165
you got, you know, all that kind of stuff.
1525
00:53:40.165 --> 00:53:42.405
It, it's a, it's definitely a team effort to,
1526
00:53:42.465 --> 00:53:44.045
to put it all together.
1527
00:53:44.145 --> 00:53:46.285
And, and you said you're make a show like that on the road.
1528
00:53:46.465 --> 00:53:47.325
You said you're playing better
1529
00:53:47.325 --> 00:53:48.365
than you feel like you ever have.
1530
00:53:48.425 --> 00:53:51.605
How can you, how can you tell, what's the telling sign
1531
00:53:51.605 --> 00:53:53.805
that you feel like you are, are are doing that?
1532
00:53:54.845 --> 00:53:58.125
I think being comfortable.
1533
00:53:58.245 --> 00:54:01.525
I think not, you know, not having done it for a while
1534
00:54:01.525 --> 00:54:04.005
and then going back out and doing it and not being nervous
1535
00:54:04.145 --> 00:54:07.205
or being, you know, the worried about the,
1536
00:54:07.205 --> 00:54:09.325
what the outcome's gonna be, but just having confidence in
1537
00:54:09.485 --> 00:54:10.965
yourself and, and going out
1538
00:54:10.965 --> 00:54:12.565
and just doing the best of your ability.
1539
00:54:12.865 --> 00:54:15.325
Can you guys hear it after a long period of time of,
1540
00:54:15.425 --> 00:54:16.725
you know, and then all of a sudden you're back together
1541
00:54:16.725 --> 00:54:18.245
and you're playing, you could feel like, Hey,
1542
00:54:18.255 --> 00:54:19.885
we're, we're really doing this.
1543
00:54:19.885 --> 00:54:22.765
Yeah. We're sounding good. You can, yeah. Yeah. Okay. Nice.
1544
00:54:23.035 --> 00:54:26.525
It's like a car. Yeah. . Yeah.
1545
00:54:26.525 --> 00:54:27.805
Like these guys that are just like,
1546
00:54:27.805 --> 00:54:28.965
Hey man, our car feels good.
1547
00:54:28.965 --> 00:54:31.245
And they can feel it there. Yeah. I can't understand it.
1548
00:54:31.365 --> 00:54:33.245
'cause I'm not in a band and I'm not a race car driver,
1549
00:54:33.385 --> 00:54:34.805
but No, I take your word for it.
1550
00:54:34.805 --> 00:54:36.445
There you go. Yeah.
So, has,
1551
00:54:36.985 --> 00:54:40.445
has the band taken on new meaning in the, in 20 years?
1552
00:54:40.685 --> 00:54:41.725
I mean, is it,
1553
00:54:42.395 --> 00:54:43.395
Yeah.
1554
00:54:43.395 --> 00:54:44.485
You know, when we first started, you know,
1555
00:54:44.485 --> 00:54:45.965
we were getting songs on the radio
1556
00:54:46.065 --> 00:54:48.485
and you'd see your friends getting excited about it.
1557
00:54:48.485 --> 00:54:50.725
Now we go to see concerts, or we play concerts
1558
00:54:50.725 --> 00:54:53.565
and we see grown men and women crying at the show, .
1559
00:54:54.865 --> 00:54:56.445
So it's, it's
1560
00:54:56.445 --> 00:54:59.445
Cool to see that these songs have survived for decades
1561
00:54:59.625 --> 00:55:01.925
and become these, you know,
1562
00:55:01.925 --> 00:55:03.045
when we play one last breath,
1563
00:55:03.045 --> 00:55:04.605
people lose their minds. And it's,
1564
00:55:04.605 --> 00:55:05.605
It's, uh, yeah.
1565
00:55:05.605 --> 00:55:06.205
I, I did at your
1566
00:55:06.205 --> 00:55:09.085
concert,
, it's been great.
1567
00:55:09.115 --> 00:55:10.445
Yeah.
And you, you see,
1568
00:55:10.445 --> 00:55:11.845
you see generations of people now.
1569
00:55:11.845 --> 00:55:13.205
You see the fathers, sons,
1570
00:55:13.205 --> 00:55:14.405
mothers and daughters all coming out.
1571
00:55:15.025 --> 00:55:16.965
You have these great parents teaching their
1572
00:55:16.965 --> 00:55:18.005
kids to listen to the music.
1573
00:55:18.185 --> 00:55:19.645
So now we have another generation of fans.
1574
00:55:19.835 --> 00:55:23.325
Exactly. Tim had a fan out here earlier who had, uh,
1575
00:55:23.545 --> 00:55:26.805
him sign her arm and she's gonna get tattooed on her.
1576
00:55:26.985 --> 00:55:29.325
Yes. I'm sure that probably happens a lot for you guys. It,
1577
00:55:29.345 --> 00:55:30.285
It has happened. Yes. Yeah.
1578
00:55:30.925 --> 00:55:33.045
Happened. Is there anything wilder that's happened, uh,
1579
00:55:33.395 --> 00:55:34.605
request wise from fans?
1580
00:55:34.865 --> 00:55:36.485
I'm actually giving the tattoos now.
1581
00:55:36.785 --> 00:55:38.045
You do? Now? Okay.
Yeah.
1582
00:55:38.595 --> 00:55:40.645
Yeah. So you're signing and then doing the tattoo?
1583
00:55:40.865 --> 00:55:42.405
I'm an official tattoo artist now.
1584
00:55:42.405 --> 00:55:45.605
I got my license and I give tattoos, uh, for charity.
1585
00:55:46.065 --> 00:55:47.205
Oh, amazing
Man. Awesome.
1586
00:55:47.205 --> 00:55:49.605
I would, I would have everybody just look at his portfolio
1587
00:55:49.605 --> 00:55:52.605
before you sign up to get anything from him.
1588
00:55:52.835 --> 00:55:55.205
Joey and I have a lot of questionable tattoos,
1589
00:55:55.485 --> 00:55:56.805
I feel like between the two of us.
1590
00:55:57.075 --> 00:55:58.165
Yeah. I got the jacket on.
1591
00:55:58.325 --> 00:55:59.565
I can handle questionable anytime,
.
1592
00:56:01.665 --> 00:56:03.445
That's awesome, man. That's awesome.
1593
00:56:03.625 --> 00:56:05.725
So are you guys, um, do you have,
1594
00:56:06.025 --> 00:56:07.565
how much have you followed Indy car?
1595
00:56:07.565 --> 00:56:09.765
Do you follow any car at all? You follow Indy 500 at all?
1596
00:56:10.395 --> 00:56:12.205
I've always watched a 500 every year.
1597
00:56:12.365 --> 00:56:15.845
I can't say that I've been a, a true indie fan. Sure.
1598
00:56:15.905 --> 00:56:17.445
But obviously with a lot of
1599
00:56:17.475 --> 00:56:20.605
what has gone on over the last week and the last month
1600
00:56:20.605 --> 00:56:22.325
or so, since it's got announced, we've,
1601
00:56:22.495 --> 00:56:23.765
we've definitely been paying attention.
1602
00:56:23.765 --> 00:56:24.925
Yeah. Watching qualifying
1603
00:56:25.025 --> 00:56:27.525
and, uh, it's, uh,
1604
00:56:28.555 --> 00:56:30.605
it's, it's a production. It is.
1605
00:56:30.605 --> 00:56:32.845
Yeah. Yeah. Felix is looking good in the Creed
1606
00:56:32.845 --> 00:56:34.085
Cards. He Right.
1607
00:56:34.345 --> 00:56:35.885
He
Is. Have you guys gotten a chance to,
1608
00:56:36.025 --> 00:56:37.805
I'm sure you have, but chat with him or
1609
00:56:38.305 --> 00:56:39.305
Not yet?
1610
00:56:39.305 --> 00:56:40.525
We were, like, mark said,
1611
00:56:40.525 --> 00:56:42.965
we literally just got here about 20 minutes ago, so
1612
00:56:43.805 --> 00:56:46.325
I think the, we might have missed the opportunity
1613
00:56:46.505 --> 00:56:48.125
to do it today, but if not tomorrow,
1614
00:56:48.125 --> 00:56:49.925
definitely on Sunday, we'll get a chance to.
1615
00:56:50.585 --> 00:56:52.565
So there's, to shake some hands, there's a ton
1616
00:56:52.565 --> 00:56:53.645
that goes into the 500.
1617
00:56:53.645 --> 00:56:55.845
Right. They've been practicing the fly over today.
1618
00:56:55.845 --> 00:56:57.485
There's all the pump and circumstance tomorrow.
1619
00:56:57.485 --> 00:57:01.445
Just the, the traffic egress getting 450,000 people here.
1620
00:57:01.515 --> 00:57:04.485
Yeah. But there's a ton that goes into any live show.
1621
00:57:04.625 --> 00:57:07.685
And with your guys'. So just outta curiosity, maybe a little
1622
00:57:07.685 --> 00:57:09.365
inside baseball, do you have anything, do you have any
1623
00:57:09.365 --> 00:57:10.405
of the crazy riders?
1624
00:57:10.705 --> 00:57:13.005
Do you have like the, like the, make sure it's Blue M
1625
00:57:13.005 --> 00:57:14.205
and mss because they got that right.
1626
00:57:14.305 --> 00:57:16.205
The pyrotechnics are right. You know,
1627
00:57:16.465 --> 00:57:18.205
And that, that whole story about the blue m
1628
00:57:18.365 --> 00:57:21.525
and ms, what, it's, it's not because they want blue m ms.
1629
00:57:21.545 --> 00:57:24.085
No, it's, they wanna make sure that if they didn't find,
1630
00:57:24.595 --> 00:57:26.885
read that, that everything else would go wrong.
1631
00:57:26.885 --> 00:57:29.405
Yeah. And they wouldn't have the right lighting truss
1632
00:57:29.465 --> 00:57:31.045
or the, you know, ah, so they wanna
1633
00:57:31.045 --> 00:57:32.085
make sure people are paying attention.
1634
00:57:32.305 --> 00:57:33.325
So, but you guys don't have,
1635
00:57:33.625 --> 00:57:34.685
you guys don't have anything hidden
1636
00:57:34.735 --> 00:57:35.735
There?
1637
00:57:35.735 --> 00:57:37.405
No, nothing. Nothing crazy. Nothing
1638
00:57:37.405 --> 00:57:38.405
Crazy.
1639
00:57:38.405 --> 00:57:40.005
I, I guess we didn't have to have any glue s
1640
00:57:40.005 --> 00:57:42.205
ready for you guys, so, no. I should have known
1641
00:57:42.645 --> 00:57:43.805
Tomorrow. You will, but not today.
1642
00:57:43.805 --> 00:57:45.365
There's, sorry, there's Wiener Mobiles
1643
00:57:45.365 --> 00:57:46.365
Racing.
1644
00:57:46.365 --> 00:57:47.725
Yeah. I just, I just saw him go by pretty awesome.
1645
00:57:48.625 --> 00:57:50.285
We were, we were talking about though,
1646
00:57:50.285 --> 00:57:51.525
you said how you could hear that.
1647
00:57:51.525 --> 00:57:55.525
You guys sound good. You sound better.
1648
00:57:55.705 --> 00:57:57.405
Can, how does that kind
1649
00:57:57.405 --> 00:57:59.525
of musical chemistry come together for you guys?
1650
00:57:59.585 --> 00:58:00.685
And it's evolved over time
1651
00:58:00.715 --> 00:58:02.245
that you guys have been playing together for so
1652
00:58:02.245 --> 00:58:03.245
Long?
1653
00:58:03.245 --> 00:58:03.885
Well, I, I think it's just that. Yeah.
1654
00:58:03.885 --> 00:58:05.645
I think it's, we've been playing together for so long.
1655
00:58:05.765 --> 00:58:07.245
I mean, I think Mark
1656
00:58:07.245 --> 00:58:10.565
and I have now known each other for 31 years.
1657
00:58:10.745 --> 00:58:14.045
Yep. Um, and met, you know, jamming together.
1658
00:58:14.185 --> 00:58:18.005
So we obviously know each other's sort of intricacies and,
1659
00:58:18.025 --> 00:58:19.445
and tendencies and stuff like that.
1660
00:58:19.535 --> 00:58:21.605
Brian, uh, has been a part
1661
00:58:21.605 --> 00:58:23.045
of this pretty much the same amount of time.
1662
00:58:23.545 --> 00:58:25.725
And with Scott on and off again, we all met, you know,
1663
00:58:25.925 --> 00:58:28.325
together back in 1994 in Tallahassee.
1664
00:58:29.195 --> 00:58:30.245
Tallahassee. Yeah.
1665
00:58:30.545 --> 00:58:33.085
So, you know, playing together through all those years,
1666
00:58:34.545 --> 00:58:38.925
you just, you learn everybody's, it's like a, like any team
1667
00:58:38.935 --> 00:58:40.805
where, you know, the other person Sure.
1668
00:58:41.315 --> 00:58:43.205
What they're gonna do if it's in basketball
1669
00:58:43.205 --> 00:58:45.245
that this guy's gonna cut left and sure.
1670
00:58:45.525 --> 00:58:46.525
Somebody's cut the basket. You,
1671
00:58:46.945 --> 00:58:48.725
you just pick up on those tendencies over the years.
1672
00:58:48.825 --> 00:58:50.885
And that's just what we've done.
1673
00:58:51.505 --> 00:58:52.565
Do you guys feel, I mean,
1674
00:58:52.595 --> 00:58:54.325
it's gotta feel like a weird sense of life.
1675
00:58:54.425 --> 00:58:57.245
Not a weird, but it pretty big sense of pride
1676
00:58:57.245 --> 00:58:58.765
for you guys to be able to say Yeah.
1677
00:58:58.765 --> 00:59:01.205
After all this time, we're still, we're still
1678
00:59:01.205 --> 00:59:02.205
Rocking.
1679
00:59:02.205 --> 00:59:03.645
Absolutely. Absolutely. I mean, that's,
1680
00:59:04.425 --> 00:59:05.965
that's all we ever really asked
1681
00:59:05.965 --> 00:59:07.165
for in this business to begin with.
1682
00:59:07.165 --> 00:59:09.565
There's longevity. I mean, everybody, you want
1683
00:59:09.565 --> 00:59:10.725
that rise to stardom.
1684
00:59:10.725 --> 00:59:11.885
And we were fortunate enough to have that.
1685
00:59:11.905 --> 00:59:14.925
But there's so many bands that we've met along the way
1686
00:59:14.925 --> 00:59:17.325
that are fantastic bands that just went up and flamed out.
1687
00:59:17.395 --> 00:59:19.485
Yeah. And you don't hear from 'em again. Yeah.
1688
00:59:19.865 --> 00:59:22.445
For us to be able to still be doing this, you know,
1689
00:59:22.445 --> 00:59:23.525
decades later.
1690
00:59:23.635 --> 00:59:25.885
Yeah. Uh, we're, we're truly grateful
1691
00:59:26.105 --> 00:59:28.725
and blessed that, you know, we still get this opportunity.
1692
00:59:28.745 --> 00:59:30.765
Mm-hmm . Did you, did you ever have a point
1693
00:59:30.765 --> 00:59:33.565
where you thought maybe that, like, maybe it was going
1694
00:59:33.565 --> 00:59:34.845
to end like that, or It was,
1695
00:59:35.395 --> 00:59:37.365
Well, we had, we had a, we got together
1696
00:59:37.915 --> 00:59:39.965
back in 2013, I think it was
1697
00:59:40.745 --> 00:59:41.745
2009.
1698
00:59:41.745 --> 00:59:43.525
2009 for the second time.
1699
00:59:43.745 --> 00:59:47.285
And, um, it didn't go over as well as it has this time.
1700
00:59:47.285 --> 00:59:48.605
Okay. This time. Yeah.
1701
00:59:48.725 --> 00:59:51.005
I remember having a conversation with my agent, our agent,
1702
00:59:51.025 --> 00:59:54.645
and, um, he said, this is not as big as it was.
1703
00:59:54.645 --> 00:59:55.885
This is bigger than it's ever been.
1704
00:59:56.305 --> 00:59:58.125
The ticket sales, the, the attendance
1705
00:59:58.275 --> 01:00:03.165
that we've had has been Absolutely, uh, has blown our minds.
1706
01:00:03.165 --> 01:00:04.405
You know, it was over, over a
1707
01:00:04.405 --> 01:00:05.485
million tickets sold last year.
1708
01:00:05.585 --> 01:00:08.445
So it's been Wow. Uh, we've been very happy about it.
1709
01:00:08.445 --> 01:00:11.005
And now our kids are grown up enough now
1710
01:00:11.005 --> 01:00:12.325
that they can come and appreciate it.
1711
01:00:12.715 --> 01:00:15.005
They love coming out to the big shows and Yeah.
1712
01:00:15.105 --> 01:00:17.285
Um, they come out with us for the,
1713
01:00:17.625 --> 01:00:19.085
pretty much the whole tour, so it's
1714
01:00:19.085 --> 01:00:20.085
Good.
1715
01:00:20.085 --> 01:00:21.525
Yeah. Our kids are here now. My, my daughter. Oh, nice.
1716
01:00:21.545 --> 01:00:22.965
My daughter ran off to watch the, uh,
1717
01:00:22.965 --> 01:00:24.365
the Wiener race. Oh, hell
1718
01:00:24.365 --> 01:00:25.365
Yeah.
1719
01:00:25.365 --> 01:00:26.005
It sounded my interest in watching us.
1720
01:00:26.515 --> 01:00:27.845
Yeah, absolutely. You have to.
1721
01:00:28.065 --> 01:00:29.325
I'm out, dad.
What's been your
1722
01:00:29.335 --> 01:00:30.685
guys' favorite place to perform?
1723
01:00:32.105 --> 01:00:35.245
Oh, man. There's so many cool places that, you know,
1724
01:00:35.325 --> 01:00:37.005
we've had a chance to experience over the years.
1725
01:00:38.065 --> 01:00:40.285
You know, recently the stage coach festival was
1726
01:00:40.285 --> 01:00:41.285
There.
1727
01:00:41.285 --> 01:00:42.165
Yeah. We out there, stage coach out,
1728
01:00:42.345 --> 01:00:44.285
out in Coachella Valley, which was super cool,
1729
01:00:44.985 --> 01:00:46.485
but not necessarily our scene.
1730
01:00:46.515 --> 01:00:48.245
It's definitely more of a country music scene.
1731
01:00:48.345 --> 01:00:50.205
So, uh, they kind
1732
01:00:50.205 --> 01:00:51.885
of started incorporating rock bands in there,
1733
01:00:51.905 --> 01:00:54.365
and the crowd was just nuts.
1734
01:00:54.435 --> 01:00:57.365
They absolutely ate us up.
1735
01:00:57.665 --> 01:01:00.005
You feel like that's, that kind of like second generation,
1736
01:01:00.005 --> 01:01:02.165
could you feel that or see that in the crowd? Totally.
1737
01:01:02.235 --> 01:01:03.725
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Totally. You know, nowadays,
1738
01:01:03.925 --> 01:01:05.085
whenever you sell a ticket, you can see
1739
01:01:05.085 --> 01:01:06.485
where somebody's from, how old they are,
1740
01:01:06.485 --> 01:01:07.565
what their background is.
1741
01:01:07.865 --> 01:01:09.565
We sold most of our tickets
1742
01:01:09.565 --> 01:01:11.325
to people under, under the age of 35.
1743
01:01:11.545 --> 01:01:13.445
So it's, that's another generation of
1744
01:01:13.445 --> 01:01:14.445
Fans for us.
1745
01:01:14.445 --> 01:01:18.045
Yeah, man. Wow. That is, that's awesome.
1746
01:01:18.185 --> 01:01:21.365
So, do you have anything, you know, having the experience
1747
01:01:21.365 --> 01:01:23.565
of being, being through the industry through this,
1748
01:01:23.875 --> 01:01:26.205
this entire, like you said, decades mm-hmm .
1749
01:01:26.345 --> 01:01:29.045
If you had, if you were starting Creed today mm-hmm .
1750
01:01:30.255 --> 01:01:31.685
Would you have done anything differently?
1751
01:01:33.995 --> 01:01:36.685
It's, it's such a different world now. Yeah.
1752
01:01:36.685 --> 01:01:37.765
Like the music industry
1753
01:01:37.865 --> 01:01:40.205
and everything, there was no social media back then.
1754
01:01:40.205 --> 01:01:41.445
There was barely internet back
1755
01:01:41.445 --> 01:01:41.885
Then. Yeah.
1756
01:01:42.225 --> 01:01:44.915
You know, when we started. So it's,
1757
01:01:44.925 --> 01:01:48.795
everything is completely different in how bands get signed
1758
01:01:48.795 --> 01:01:50.995
and how they get marketed, how they get picked up.
1759
01:01:51.655 --> 01:01:54.835
Um, you know, the, the touring, uh,
1760
01:01:55.385 --> 01:01:56.835
it's just a completely different world.
1761
01:01:57.015 --> 01:02:00.195
So it, you know, we're, we're old farts now,
1762
01:02:00.295 --> 01:02:02.715
so it took us a while to like kind of catch up to,
1763
01:02:03.335 --> 01:02:06.795
to the way things are done, you know, in 2025.
1764
01:02:07.025 --> 01:02:08.795
Yeah. So, I don't, I don't,
1765
01:02:09.315 --> 01:02:10.635
I don't know how we would do it today.
1766
01:02:10.795 --> 01:02:12.235
Wouldn't be out there on TikTok
1767
01:02:12.295 --> 01:02:14.835
and, well, that I was Yeah, I was gonna ask that.
1768
01:02:14.835 --> 01:02:16.195
Does that piss you guys off?
1769
01:02:16.295 --> 01:02:19.325
As you know, the TikTok Well, we love it.
1770
01:02:19.545 --> 01:02:21.565
You love it, okay. . Yeah.
1771
01:02:21.865 --> 01:02:24.485
But in terms of, you know, there's, there's artists,
1772
01:02:24.515 --> 01:02:28.245
there's people who, they put a song out there on TikTok
1773
01:02:28.245 --> 01:02:29.445
that's a 42nd clip,
1774
01:02:29.465 --> 01:02:31.565
and all of a sudden it, you know, gets them up
1775
01:02:31.565 --> 01:02:32.805
to be on whatever award show
1776
01:02:32.805 --> 01:02:34.925
or whatever, somebody who you formed a 94.
1777
01:02:34.995 --> 01:02:37.765
Like you said, you kinda look around
1778
01:02:37.765 --> 01:02:39.725
and you're like, what the hell?
1779
01:02:39.865 --> 01:02:41.925
We, we, we, we, we were jamming out together.
1780
01:02:41.985 --> 01:02:43.525
We did all this shit for 30
1781
01:02:43.525 --> 01:02:45.685
years and now this, this person's up. Is that, no,
1782
01:02:45.685 --> 01:02:47.765
We got to double down on it. 'cause we got the, we got
1783
01:02:47.765 --> 01:02:50.285
The ,
We got to do what we did back in the day.
1784
01:02:50.385 --> 01:02:51.565
Now, now in this day, we don't have
1785
01:02:51.565 --> 01:02:53.365
to lift a finger in our stuff all over TikTok
1786
01:02:53.365 --> 01:02:55.525
and people are coming to buying tickets because of TikTok.
1787
01:02:55.525 --> 01:02:57.685
Yeah. Okay. So that's, to me, it's just,
1788
01:02:58.075 --> 01:02:59.845
it's just the cherry on the top. Yeah.
1789
01:02:59.955 --> 01:03:03.165
Yeah. Is the, I mean, yeah, that's a,
1790
01:03:03.165 --> 01:03:04.205
you mentioned the TikTok.
1791
01:03:04.285 --> 01:03:06.925
I mean, creed has kind of had this like revival in terms
1792
01:03:06.925 --> 01:03:09.045
of the internet and, and, and, and,
1793
01:03:09.065 --> 01:03:11.565
and kind of blasting everywhere in terms of, you know,
1794
01:03:11.705 --> 01:03:14.405
we always see the Thanksgiving Day show, right?
1795
01:03:14.435 --> 01:03:15.885
Yeah. You know, and that, that's something.
1796
01:03:15.905 --> 01:03:18.085
So you guys, I mean, you welcome that, right?
1797
01:03:18.085 --> 01:03:20.245
That's not something that you're like all nos
1798
01:03:20.245 --> 01:03:21.405
show you. You welcome it.
1799
01:03:21.405 --> 01:03:23.125
Yeah. You talk about the craziest show we've ever done.
1800
01:03:23.125 --> 01:03:24.685
That had to be the craziest thing we've ever
1801
01:03:24.685 --> 01:03:25.685
Done.
1802
01:03:25.685 --> 01:03:26.325
Okay. I was gonna, I was gonna ask you,
1803
01:03:26.325 --> 01:03:27.805
you guys haven't performed out here, but, uh,
1804
01:03:27.805 --> 01:03:29.165
and you've only been here for 25 minutes,
1805
01:03:29.425 --> 01:03:30.445
so I can't really compare,
1806
01:03:30.445 --> 01:03:31.965
but that was gonna be one of my questions is
1807
01:03:33.045 --> 01:03:34.685
Thanksgiving Day at Cowboy Stadium,
1808
01:03:35.065 --> 01:03:36.485
It was not spread mean.
1809
01:03:36.485 --> 01:03:38.125
There's like the four
1810
01:03:38.125 --> 01:03:39.805
of us just making sure we're kinda locked in,
1811
01:03:39.805 --> 01:03:41.525
but there's like a dude flying through the air.
1812
01:03:41.595 --> 01:03:45.045
Yeah. cheer leaders are behind you, you know, pompoms
1813
01:03:45.045 --> 01:03:46.365
and explosions
1814
01:03:46.365 --> 01:03:48.965
and, well, it was kind like random kids dancing every,
1815
01:03:49.155 --> 01:03:50.765
it's just like, what is happening?
1816
01:03:50.905 --> 01:03:52.005
How about when we're in Austria
1817
01:03:52.065 --> 01:03:52.805
and then we got
1818
01:03:52.805 --> 01:03:54.765
snowboarders flying in the air in front of us. That was,
1819
01:03:55.035 --> 01:03:56.035
That was pretty cool.
1820
01:03:56.035 --> 01:03:57.045
That was early on in the,
1821
01:03:57.045 --> 01:03:58.685
Uh, ice, ice tea was headlining, right?
1822
01:03:58.785 --> 01:04:00.405
Yep. Early on in the three days, we,
1823
01:04:00.425 --> 01:04:03.805
we played a snowboard fest in, uh, somewhere in Austria.
1824
01:04:04.465 --> 01:04:06.285
Wow.
So the stage was right at the end of the ramp.
1825
01:04:06.505 --> 01:04:08.205
Oh my, my God. So you see, watch these dudes, you
1826
01:04:08.205 --> 01:04:09.645
Know, as you're playing, as you're playing.
1827
01:04:09.785 --> 01:04:11.445
Wow. So, speaking of festivals,
1828
01:04:11.445 --> 01:04:13.085
you guys are doing your own festival now, right?
1829
01:04:13.105 --> 01:04:16.445
Yes, we are. You're in East Troy? Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1830
01:04:16.545 --> 01:04:18.085
So tell, tell us a bit about that.
1831
01:04:18.185 --> 01:04:19.205
How, how'd that come about?
1832
01:04:19.555 --> 01:04:22.445
Yeah, that's the summer of 99 and Beyond Festival.
1833
01:04:22.455 --> 01:04:25.045
We're trying to gather our friends from our genre and yeah.
1834
01:04:25.585 --> 01:04:28.605
Put together. Last year it was a one, one show,
1835
01:04:28.945 --> 01:04:30.485
but we want to grow every year
1836
01:04:30.485 --> 01:04:32.605
and do, uh, we're doing two nights this time.
1837
01:04:32.625 --> 01:04:34.845
Nickel Back's gonna headline the, uh,
1838
01:04:34.905 --> 01:04:36.405
the first night we're doing the second night.
1839
01:04:36.405 --> 01:04:39.125
Correct. Um, we've got a ton of great bands on there.
1840
01:04:39.235 --> 01:04:41.685
Hopefully next year we can do three days, but it's, uh,
1841
01:04:42.545 --> 01:04:43.545
Um, okay.
1842
01:04:43.545 --> 01:04:45.685
So Creed and Nickelback. Joe, are you in? Oh yeah. Forgot.
1843
01:04:45.705 --> 01:04:49.285
Are you kidding me? . . I'm a 93 baby. I mean, come on.
1844
01:04:49.285 --> 01:04:51.605
Yeah, let's go. Let's do it. Are you kidding me?
1845
01:04:52.185 --> 01:04:56.445
What's the, uh, immediately, what's the most
1846
01:04:57.205 --> 01:04:59.645
challenging song for you guys to play together Live?
1847
01:05:00.225 --> 01:05:02.845
It could be what it was 20 years ago or what it is now.
1848
01:05:03.075 --> 01:05:04.605
What is, what, what is that for you guys?
1849
01:05:04.785 --> 01:05:06.205
I'd say it's probably different for everybody.
1850
01:05:06.465 --> 01:05:08.005
For me, it's all the finger picked stuff,
1851
01:05:08.005 --> 01:05:09.645
where it's just me and the crowd, nobody else.
1852
01:05:09.835 --> 01:05:12.565
Okay. It's like a song, like One Last Breath, where there's
1853
01:05:13.085 --> 01:05:16.725
a finger picked clean thing that everybody's familiar with.
1854
01:05:16.725 --> 01:05:18.520
If I miss one little note, everybody's, everybody
1855
01:05:18.520 --> 01:05:19.520
Knows.
1856
01:05:19.520 --> 01:05:19.925
Yeah. . So, yeah.
1857
01:05:19.925 --> 01:05:21.685
Alright, well, let's, let's turn it out here.
1858
01:05:21.705 --> 01:05:24.685
Do we have any Creed fans out here? Come on. Come on.
1859
01:05:24.825 --> 01:05:27.165
Are are you kidding me? This is insane. Insane Guys.
1860
01:05:27.525 --> 01:05:31.805
Favorite songs, anything? No Arm. All of them. . Yeah. .
1861
01:05:33.745 --> 01:05:36.965
But I mean, so when you guys are going around,
1862
01:05:37.035 --> 01:05:38.445
when you're performing at these venues,
1863
01:05:38.525 --> 01:05:40.365
I know Joey was talking about like the the fan
1864
01:05:40.365 --> 01:05:41.805
who just had me sign her arm thing.
1865
01:05:42.145 --> 01:05:44.165
Do you, do you get fans who come up to you
1866
01:05:44.165 --> 01:05:45.365
and just want to connect
1867
01:05:45.385 --> 01:05:47.085
and tell you how impactful their
1868
01:05:47.085 --> 01:05:48.365
music has been in their lives?
1869
01:05:48.365 --> 01:05:49.365
Oh, absolutely. All the time. Absolutely.
1870
01:05:49.505 --> 01:05:50.845
Is it sometimes like, I mean, I'm sure
1871
01:05:50.845 --> 01:05:52.205
that's gotta be amazing.
1872
01:05:52.435 --> 01:05:53.645
Yeah. I want him, but,
1873
01:05:53.745 --> 01:05:55.485
but on the other hand, you're just like, you kind of miss,
1874
01:05:55.545 --> 01:05:56.645
you missed the point of that song.
1875
01:05:56.705 --> 01:05:58.725
That's not what, that's not what that was about. .
1876
01:05:59.925 --> 01:06:01.645
I think that's the good thing with music.
1877
01:06:01.745 --> 01:06:03.885
And, and Scott's always kinda said that with his lyrics.
1878
01:06:03.885 --> 01:06:06.245
It's, you know, he might've meant it one way,
1879
01:06:06.245 --> 01:06:07.565
but it's open to interpretation
1880
01:06:07.585 --> 01:06:09.965
and whatever that song means to you,
1881
01:06:10.285 --> 01:06:12.165
whatever feeling it gives you, whatever
1882
01:06:12.315 --> 01:06:13.315
It's how it
Should be.
1883
01:06:13.355 --> 01:06:15.525
Yeah. That's, and that's, that's the point of it.
1884
01:06:15.595 --> 01:06:17.685
Even if it was written about something completely different,
1885
01:06:17.705 --> 01:06:20.725
but as long as it, it resonates with you in a certain way,
1886
01:06:20.725 --> 01:06:22.005
then that's what matters.
1887
01:06:22.425 --> 01:06:24.885
Is there anybody ever, you know, that they, I mean,
1888
01:06:24.885 --> 01:06:26.005
I guess Tim just kind of asked that,
1889
01:06:26.005 --> 01:06:27.085
but you're just like, you're away.
1890
01:06:27.165 --> 01:06:28.565
I mean, it's open to interpretation,
1891
01:06:28.565 --> 01:06:30.725
but you're way off to, there's
1892
01:06:30.725 --> 01:06:32.805
Been a, there's been a couple, I can't remember anything
1893
01:06:33.205 --> 01:06:34.845
specific, but I can remember I'll,
1894
01:06:34.845 --> 01:06:36.005
I'll agree with somebody like, yeah,
1895
01:06:36.005 --> 01:06:37.085
this song's about this or that
1896
01:06:37.085 --> 01:06:38.245
that you wrote. I'm like, oh, it
1897
01:06:38.245 --> 01:06:39.245
is
.
1898
01:06:40.345 --> 01:06:41.525
You nailed it. That
Makes you feel good.
1899
01:06:41.705 --> 01:06:44.205
That's absolutely right. Yeah. But don't tell anyone Uhhuh .
1900
01:06:44.515 --> 01:06:46.725
Yeah. This is between us right here. Exactly.
1901
01:06:47.225 --> 01:06:51.485
So what does, after all these years, you know,
1902
01:06:51.715 --> 01:06:56.245
what does Creed 20, 25 years ago, you know, mean to you then
1903
01:06:56.245 --> 01:06:58.165
as, as opposed to now in 2025?
1904
01:06:58.385 --> 01:07:00.445
Is there a difference? Oh yeah. Big difference.
1905
01:07:00.755 --> 01:07:02.925
Back then we were, we were just like every
1906
01:07:02.925 --> 01:07:04.045
other band fighting to survive.
1907
01:07:04.065 --> 01:07:06.765
And, and every single you put out you,
1908
01:07:06.835 --> 01:07:07.845
your career could be over.
1909
01:07:07.845 --> 01:07:09.845
Every record you put out your career could be over. Yeah.
1910
01:07:10.065 --> 01:07:12.125
Now that we've known it's lasted all this time,
1911
01:07:12.225 --> 01:07:13.685
we can just enjoy it.
1912
01:07:13.835 --> 01:07:15.405
Yeah, yeah. You know, it's just, it's much,
1913
01:07:15.475 --> 01:07:18.925
it's much like he said, you're not up there, uh,
1914
01:07:18.925 --> 01:07:20.165
trying to prove yourself anymore.
1915
01:07:20.165 --> 01:07:21.365
You're just having a good time and it's,
1916
01:07:21.435 --> 01:07:23.325
it's much more relaxed. Yep.
1917
01:07:23.995 --> 01:07:25.925
Good. Couldn't say better.
That's awesome, man.
1918
01:07:25.945 --> 01:07:28.965
That's so great. That's, uh, one last one for me, Tim,
1919
01:07:29.085 --> 01:07:32.525
I don't know about you, but for, you know,
1920
01:07:32.605 --> 01:07:33.885
I have, I have kids now.
1921
01:07:34.185 --> 01:07:35.685
Tim has an 11-year-old.
1922
01:07:35.945 --> 01:07:40.525
Um, you know, if you were to tell someone who is wanting
1923
01:07:40.525 --> 01:07:42.925
to get in the music industry, who's wanting to start a,
1924
01:07:43.165 --> 01:07:47.365
a band, rock band now in 2025, what would you say?
1925
01:07:48.075 --> 01:07:49.565
There's only one piece of advice.
1926
01:07:49.995 --> 01:07:52.045
Like he was saying earlier, that the business has changed
1927
01:07:52.145 --> 01:07:54.405
so much, we wouldn't even know
1928
01:07:54.405 --> 01:07:55.525
how to do it ourselves anymore.
1929
01:07:55.725 --> 01:07:57.085
'cause it's, it's a completely different business.
1930
01:07:57.145 --> 01:08:00.005
But the one thing that stays true from the dawn
1931
01:08:00.005 --> 01:08:01.845
of musical time is write a good song.
1932
01:08:02.065 --> 01:08:04.005
Yep. Write the best song you can write.
1933
01:08:04.005 --> 01:08:05.685
There's nobody you know. That's, that's
1934
01:08:06.255 --> 01:08:08.125
spend all your time doing it for the right reasons.
1935
01:08:08.705 --> 01:08:10.525
And if that song is good enough,
1936
01:08:10.545 --> 01:08:12.285
it will be successful. That's
1937
01:08:12.365 --> 01:08:13.365
A hundred percent.
1938
01:08:13.365 --> 01:08:16.285
Yeah. Write a good song. Yeah. Yeah. All wrong with that.
1939
01:08:16.505 --> 01:08:18.045
Uh, my only other one is I wanna know
1940
01:08:18.145 --> 01:08:19.885
how I can get tickets on this cruise show, .
1941
01:08:23.465 --> 01:08:25.325
We might, we might know somebody who knows somebody.
1942
01:08:25.425 --> 01:08:27.685
You might be able to help me out on that. Maybe so.
1943
01:08:27.895 --> 01:08:29.805
Maybe So. We'll see. Alright, cool.

Your line. I what a perfect timing. Oh my.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Well, not Indiana or Indianapolis,

01:09:32.205 --> 01:09:33.985
but at the Motor Speedway have not
1969
01:09:33.985 --> 01:09:35.105
been to the spectacle before.
1970
01:09:35.125 --> 01:09:37.065
The Well, welcome man. Thank you. This is great.

01:09:37.065 --> 01:09:38.745
We're so excited to have you guys. Dude. Yeah.
1972
01:09:38.765 --> 01:09:40.305
Me and Tim were talking about Right Tim,
1973
01:09:40.305 --> 01:09:42.465
that all American rejects is like,
1974
01:09:42.465 --> 01:09:43.585
you guys were our MySpace songs.
1975
01:09:43.585 --> 01:09:44.665
You know what I'm saying? , I,
1976
01:09:45.445 --> 01:09:46.945
we had all that going. You know,
1977
01:09:46.945 --> 01:09:48.105
What's the dynamic here?
1978
01:09:48.265 --> 01:09:49.665
'cause Tim looks like the guy on the couch
1979
01:09:49.805 --> 01:09:52.185
and it looks like it's your, it's your, like your your rich
1980
01:09:52.185 --> 01:09:53.185
Friend couch.
1981
01:09:53.185 --> 01:09:53.985
This actually, this actually isn't .
1982
01:09:56.285 --> 01:09:57.465
That's that's fair. Like,
1983
01:09:57.465 --> 01:09:59.225
Like I was Tim, man, I was the kid
1984
01:09:59.225 --> 01:10:00.585
who was raiding the fridge and eating the
1985
01:10:00.585 --> 01:10:01.705
gushers in the rich kid's
1986
01:10:01.705 --> 01:10:02.705
House.
1987
01:10:02.705 --> 01:10:04.185
I literally just went and grabbed a beer from the audience.
1988
01:10:04.305 --> 01:10:05.785
I love this. So you're not, you, you read
1989
01:10:05.865 --> 01:10:07.105
that incredibly well.
1990
01:10:07.475 --> 01:10:09.065
Tim's really
Warming up. Yeah. Yeah.
1991
01:10:09.065 --> 01:10:11.105
This isn't actually, uh, either of our shows,
1992
01:10:11.165 --> 01:10:12.625
but we're glad you're here anyways. Nice.
1993
01:10:12.895 --> 01:10:13.745
Dope. Yeah, yeah.
Yeah. ,
1994
01:10:14.175 --> 01:10:15.625
they're, they're race car drivers.
1995
01:10:15.695 --> 01:10:18.185
They have stuff going on. There's a pit stop competition.
1996
01:10:18.285 --> 01:10:19.865
One of 'em is calling it on Fox, so
1997
01:10:19.965 --> 01:10:20.965
Oh, cool.
1998
01:10:20.965 --> 01:10:22.345
Their show. Yeah. Gotcha man.
1999
01:10:22.565 --> 01:10:24.425
But we're their friend. He's, he's on the show.
2000
01:10:24.815 --> 01:10:26.745
He's on their cap and I'm just a friend. Yeah.
2001
01:10:26.765 --> 01:10:27.785
And I filled in and,
2002
01:10:27.965 --> 01:10:29.745
but it's devastating to know that you got the
2003
01:10:29.765 --> 01:10:31.385
Manage their money. Like you're, you got
2004
01:10:31.385 --> 01:10:32.425
The correct reit that's .

01:10:33.805 --> 01:10:37.945
You're, you're getting a CPA from me. Totally. Yeah.

01:10:38.225 --> 01:10:39.225
CPA from me. Definitely

01:10:39.245 --> 01:10:40.465
Day trade, bro. Dope.
2008
01:10:40.605 --> 01:10:45.425
You dude d in math my whole life could be further
2009
01:10:45.525 --> 01:10:48.585
off , but he can recommend some great cryptos.
2010
01:10:50.825 --> 01:10:53.705
I smell that shit. Yeah. Yep. Absolutely. All right.

Yeah, man. Well this is like the cherry on the end
2015
01:11:01.225 --> 01:11:05.585
of a week that, uh, has kind of taken, uh, us to a bizarre,
2016
01:11:06.205 --> 01:11:09.985
uh, like, uh, jettison into, I don't know, sort
2017
01:11:09.985 --> 01:11:11.905
of a zeitgeist relevance for five minutes.
2018
01:11:12.045 --> 01:11:13.765
So we're just sitting here and soaking up into it.
2019
01:11:13.765 --> 01:11:14.965
It's awesome. I love it. Well,
2020
01:11:14.965 --> 01:11:16.085
We were, we were talking about it
2021
01:11:16.085 --> 01:11:17.965
before you guys were doing like the house party
2022
01:11:17.965 --> 01:11:19.565
shows. That's insane. Yeah.
2023
01:11:19.565 --> 01:11:21.165
Like who'd to thunk? That'd be a thing. .
2024
01:11:22.705 --> 01:11:25.245
But it's like, it's, it's like you said, it's taken over.
2025
01:11:25.245 --> 01:11:26.365
People were making a huge
2026
01:11:26.515 --> 01:11:27.515
Deal outta it.
2027
01:11:27.515 --> 01:11:28.605
It's wild. We, we like did this on a whim
2028
01:11:28.725 --> 01:11:30.005
'cause we knew we had Carb Day here.
2029
01:11:30.005 --> 01:11:33.005
We had this corporate chauffeur Kroger in
2030
01:11:33.005 --> 01:11:35.005
Cincinnati Weeks ago.
2031
01:11:35.585 --> 01:11:37.645
And we're like, let's just play house parties up
2032
01:11:37.645 --> 01:11:38.685
until we get to Indy.
2033
01:11:38.745 --> 01:11:40.525
And so we played, uh, green Bay,
2034
01:11:41.035 --> 01:11:42.405
like the college in Green Bay.
2035
01:11:42.405 --> 01:11:43.485
That was weird. Uh,
2036
01:11:43.675 --> 01:11:44.605
Chicago. And
2037
01:11:44.605 --> 01:11:46.005
Then it started taking off. We did Chicago,
2038
01:11:46.275 --> 01:11:48.685
Minneapolis, and
A bowling alley in Minneapolis.
2039
01:11:48.755 --> 01:11:52.045
Dude. Oh man. This bowling alley was just so stoked
2040
01:11:52.475 --> 01:11:54.245
that he's like, you guys made my summer.
2041
01:11:54.275 --> 01:11:56.765
Like, because we took donations at the door. Oh man.
2042
01:11:56.765 --> 01:11:57.805
Because we weren't selling tickets.
2043
01:11:57.895 --> 01:11:59.525
We're like, man, screw this in this world
2044
01:11:59.525 --> 01:12:02.525
where we're just like, concerts are so <inaudible> expensive
2045
01:12:02.545 --> 01:12:04.725
and it's just so hard to get access now.
2046
01:12:04.725 --> 01:12:07.045
Yeah. You know? Um, we're like, let's just do free shows
2047
01:12:07.045 --> 01:12:08.965
and do donations for local college,
2048
01:12:08.975 --> 01:12:10.805
radio stations, local businesses.
2049
01:12:10.865 --> 01:12:12.285
And, and it worked. So
2050
01:12:12.285 --> 01:12:13.805
You feel like, I mean, obviously, you know,
2051
01:12:13.805 --> 01:12:16.645
you guys are at this point in, in, in your career together
2052
01:12:16.665 --> 01:12:19.845
as a band that like, you feel like you can just do that.
2053
01:12:19.905 --> 01:12:21.645
No problem. You're not even worried about ticket sales.
2054
01:12:21.645 --> 01:12:23.925
You're like, yeah, let's give back. We're at that point. I,
2055
01:12:24.005 --> 01:12:25.005
I, yeah.
2056
01:12:25.005 --> 01:12:25.725
I don't know, man. I think we, like,
2057
01:12:25.745 --> 01:12:27.565
of course we're excited to share new music.
2058
01:12:27.625 --> 01:12:29.725
We have a new record called Sandbox coming out.
2059
01:12:29.725 --> 01:12:32.885
We've got a new song called Easy Come Easy Go on June 5th.
2060
01:12:33.095 --> 01:12:34.245
Sweet. So there was
2061
01:12:34.435 --> 01:12:36.125
Next week, June 5th
New.
2062
01:12:36.125 --> 01:12:38.885
That's right, baby. But there, there was purpose with it.
2063
01:12:38.905 --> 01:12:42.765
But the, the, the messaging of what it became to
2064
01:12:42.785 --> 01:12:45.365
so many people who were in attendance, I think made it,
2065
01:12:45.505 --> 01:12:47.525
it just made it a whole big love bomb
2066
01:12:47.625 --> 01:12:48.805
for a lot of people. So,
2067
01:12:49.225 --> 01:12:50.445
And I think I saw it.
2068
01:12:50.585 --> 01:12:53.605
Uh, I think we reposted somebody's story that said, is this
2069
01:12:53.605 --> 01:12:54.765
what it was like to go
2070
01:12:54.765 --> 01:12:56.685
to high school parties in the two thousands?
2071
01:12:58.445 --> 01:13:01.525
Somebody in Nashville. Somebody was ven mowing, renting
2072
01:13:02.125 --> 01:13:03.965

2073
01:13:04.005 --> 01:13:05.045
$150
.
2074
01:13:05.705 --> 01:13:06.885
Wow. Just to see you guys
2075

150 bucks to That's
2077
01:13:11.845 --> 01:13:12.845
Crazy.
2078
01:13:12.845 --> 01:13:15.165
If that is though. Like what high school parties were like

It's the jacket, Joey. Oh yeah. Me and you.

2096
01:14:00.205 --> 01:14:01.765
I was trading texts with him. My phone just died.
2097
01:14:01.765 --> 01:14:04.565
But he said, he said, uh, I go, Hey man, do you want

So
Start doing, it's like, it's very,
2106
01:14:20.595 --> 01:14:22.205
it's like just such a positive energy.
2107
01:14:22.205 --> 01:14:24.045
He's like, brother, we're gonna go down there.

The man is a walking legend and
2114
01:14:38.315 --> 01:14:40.205
He's
Exactly as you hope he would be.
2115
01:14:40.955 --> 01:14:43.205
This might seem like overkill, but I think I would print
2116
01:14:43.265 --> 01:14:46.565
and frame that if I ever got that I,
2117
01:14:46.635 --> 01:14:48.485
that would Right. On the, he's not the
2118
01:14:48.565 --> 01:14:50.845
First person to say that
I would do it.
2119
01:14:50.845 --> 01:14:52.165
And he wasn't even talking to me.
2120
01:14:52.355 --> 01:14:53.605
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
2121
01:14:53.605 --> 01:14:57.645
It just, just to have that, it's like Tim, Tim gives me a,
2122
01:14:57.765 --> 01:15:01.485
a hard time because I got a response back from James Ka.
2123
01:15:01.745 --> 01:15:04.525
You guys familiar with Whoa. Yeah. Late. Great.
2124

2125
01:15:08.065 --> 01:15:10.965
And I was like, Santino such a badass, James Conn.
2126
01:15:11.145 --> 01:15:13.885
And he sent me a tweet back and Tim was the first person.
2127
01:15:14.035 --> 01:15:15.565
He's like, you won the internet for the day
2128
01:15:15.565 --> 01:15:17.645
because James Conn responded to me
2129
01:15:18.345 --> 01:15:19.445
and I still have that photo.
2130
01:15:19.705 --> 01:15:22.485
And you mentioned printing it off and framing it. Yeah.
2131
01:15:22.485 --> 01:15:25.445
Dude, I gotta do that. Right? I gotta do James Conn.
2132
01:15:25.545 --> 01:15:26.765
And you gotta do Brett Michaels.
2133
01:15:26.765 --> 01:15:27.885
That's right. That's awesome.
2134
01:15:28.075 --> 01:15:29.205
Make pillowcases outta that
2135
01:15:29.325 --> 01:15:30.325

01:15:51.445 --> 01:15:53.205
obscure town, ask a race car driver.

who are coming to see you guys.

Maybe, you know, people come out
2156
01:16:12.285 --> 01:16:13.405
to Carb Day and well, no, no.
2157
01:16:13.525 --> 01:16:14.525
I think they're here to see cars.
2158
01:16:15.225 --> 01:16:17.485
But, but people out, people come out, people come, come.
2159
01:16:17.485 --> 01:16:20.365
It was a Wier day every year. And they go to the concerts.

01:16:20.365 --> 01:16:21.925
They don't, but they're outta carb day.
2161
01:16:22.265 --> 01:16:25.085
Except for those, you know, all American rejects.
2162
01:16:25.085 --> 01:16:26.885
In a sentence, what do you got?
2163
01:16:27.195 --> 01:16:29.285

What What's the, what's the,

01:16:34.165 --> 01:16:35.325
I have a list of questions here
2166
01:16:35.325 --> 01:16:38.245
that I was so, I don't know.
2167
01:16:38.405 --> 01:16:39.965
I was enjoying our conversation
2168
01:16:40.065 --> 01:16:42.925
and I'm like, I guess we gotta do the, you you plug back in.
2169
01:16:42.955 --> 01:16:45.285
Yeah, I gotta plug back into that. I want to
2170
01:16:45.995 --> 01:16:48.005
Sins like, like sin, like SIN
2171
01:16:48.305 --> 01:16:49.925
Syn. And
2172
01:16:50.605 --> 01:16:51.965
I thought you said, oh,
I thought you said,
2173
01:16:52.945 --> 01:16:55.165
and one, we all, we got three different inter
2174
01:16:55.885 --> 01:16:57.045
I heard the All American region.
2175
01:16:57.385 --> 01:16:58.765
So it turns out it wasn't the person
2176
01:16:58.765 --> 01:17:00.165
who wrote the question. Joey.
2177
01:17:00.395 --> 01:17:02.805
Yeah. I'd say pet. That's a little nag.
2178
01:17:02.825 --> 01:17:04.205
Choppa. Maybe some amber in there
2179
01:17:04.385 --> 01:17:05.385
In that .
2180
01:17:09.505 --> 01:17:11.565
Ah, that question. That was a stupid question. No, no.
2181
01:17:11.715 --> 01:17:13.085
That was a stupid question. No,
2182
01:17:13.285 --> 01:17:14.365
Oklahoma boys and t-shirt
2183
01:17:14.365 --> 01:17:15.765
and jeans that do that Don't,
2184
01:17:15.765 --> 01:17:17.365
that aren't trying to, I don't know.
2185
01:17:17.535 --> 01:17:18.925
Shake your purse strings, man.
2186
01:17:18.925 --> 01:17:21.245
We just want you to come and listen to the music with us.
2187
01:17:21.245 --> 01:17:22.765
That's us. That's eight sentences.
2188
01:17:23.305 --> 01:17:25.365
See, I would frame that. No, that was a great sentence.
2189
01:17:27.705 --> 01:17:32.365
And we got a great sense of who you are in that syn sense.
2190
01:17:32.635 --> 01:17:33.925
Nice. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
2191
01:17:34.065 --> 01:17:36.805
Um, you guys are Oklahoma boys. Yeah. Yeah.

01:17:36.835 --> 01:17:40.685
That feels like, uh, never really country that motorsport,
2193
01:17:41.105 --> 01:17:42.125
you know, maybe there's some motor.
2194
01:17:42.305 --> 01:17:43.965

No, but the difference, you guys, I mean, 20 years,
2277
01:20:37.085 --> 01:20:38.365
that's a dude.
2278
01:20:38.525 --> 01:20:40.005
I mean, I've been married for six
2279
01:20:40.025 --> 01:20:42.445
and I'm like, Jesus, 20 years for my wife.
2280
01:20:42.705 --> 01:20:45.565
And you guys have you guys have been together for that long?
2281
01:20:45.885 --> 01:20:47.205
I mean, how does that happen to
2282
01:20:47.205 --> 01:20:48.765
where you guys can make it work for
2283
01:20:49.465 --> 01:20:52.405
Uh, you know, I think two decades, you know, we've toured
2284
01:20:52.405 --> 01:20:54.165
with bands that are from like Jersey, you know,
2285
01:20:54.165 --> 01:20:55.885
and I'm not trying to blanket statement jersey,
2286
01:20:55.945 --> 01:20:59.485
but like, there's a hard sort of like brutal kind of energy
2287
01:20:59.485 --> 01:21:01.845
between these guys out, like this band we toured with,
2288
01:21:01.845 --> 01:21:04.085
and they, they're fighting each other backstage
2289
01:21:04.085 --> 01:21:06.325
and they come up to one of the guys name was Vinny.
2290
01:21:06.325 --> 01:21:07.725
He's like, yo, dude, so
2291
01:21:07.725 --> 01:21:10.205
what you guys don't like, you guys never
2292
01:21:10.205 --> 01:21:11.205
fight
.
2293
01:21:12.425 --> 01:21:13.405
And we looked at each other and
2294
01:21:13.405 --> 01:21:14.325
I just remember being like, nah.
2295
01:21:14.435 --> 01:21:16.685
He's like, dude, that's <inaudible> crazy, man.
2296
01:21:16.685 --> 01:21:18.045
We beat the out of each other. .
2297
01:21:18.925 --> 01:21:20.645
I love that. That's normal. That's the most
2298
01:21:20.885 --> 01:21:22.285
Jersey thing I've ever heard.
2299
01:21:22.505 --> 01:21:25.365
That's . And his name was Vin. Vin .
2300
01:21:26.115 --> 01:21:27.525
Yeah. Must be Italian
2301
01:21:27.955 --> 01:21:28.955
Also.
2302
01:21:28.955 --> 01:21:30.725
Like Oklahoma didn't really have a scene for rock bands,
2303
01:21:30.825 --> 01:21:33.525
so like, we were the, the four guys doing it.
2304
01:21:33.785 --> 01:21:36.205
So like, I don't know, like we just had
2305
01:21:36.205 --> 01:21:38.325
to stick together, you know what I mean? Good for you.
2306
01:21:38.435 --> 01:21:41.645
Yeah. Crazy thing.
That Jersey band that was abba.
2307
01:21:42.145 --> 01:21:44.805
Oh, a lot of
People don't know they're from there.
2308
01:21:47.275 --> 01:21:49.125
That was Germany. The
Sweden of America.
2309
01:21:49.275 --> 01:21:52.325
Yeah.
. I thought it was German.
2310
01:21:52.425 --> 01:21:53.605
So you guys said you were the only ones out
2311
01:21:53.605 --> 01:21:54.645
there in Oklahoma doing this?
2312
01:21:54.795 --> 01:21:55.925
Well, I mean, probably not,
2313
01:21:56.025 --> 01:21:57.325
but like, we were the only ones that really
2314
01:21:57.955 --> 01:21:59.045
knew each other when we were
2315
01:21:59.045 --> 01:22:00.045
Coming up.
2316
01:22:00.045 --> 01:22:01.525
It was like the flaming lips and then like
2317
01:22:02.725 --> 01:22:04.885
Hansen
And then like a big qua.
2318
01:22:04.995 --> 01:22:07.645
Like we, the only reason why we got to play college party
2319
01:22:07.785 --> 01:22:09.605
or college like bars in town was
2320
01:22:09.605 --> 01:22:12.765
because no college band existed in Stillwater.
2321
01:22:13.265 --> 01:22:17.445
Um, so I had my, you know, we, we typed up a fake parental,
2322
01:22:17.545 --> 01:22:19.965
uh, signature and had somebody notarize it.
2323
01:22:19.985 --> 01:22:21.165
So like, when I was 14
2324
01:22:21.165 --> 01:22:24.165
and 15, we were, we were playing three hour sets on Thursday
2325
01:22:24.165 --> 01:22:26.045
nights at the local college bar at colleges.
2326
01:22:26.045 --> 01:22:27.245
Yeah, man. And like,
2327
01:22:27.265 --> 01:22:29.085
and then by the time Swing Swing,
2328
01:22:29.105 --> 01:22:30.325
our first song started breaking.
2329
01:22:30.825 --> 01:22:33.285
We, the thing was full, like, packed
2330
01:22:33.435 --> 01:22:35.605
