we're going. We're good. This is this is it. We're already starting. Alright. Yeah. Yeah.
Too loud. Are you good? Okay. Every time I see you do something over there and start
mixing it, you know, like DJ quit. I feel like he's about to say I'm gonna, I'm gonna
either talk louder or I'm gonna feel like I need to be quieter. Okay. Yeah. No, really,
I can't hear you. Turn it up. You remember all that? Okay. We're doing this. Hang on.
Let me turn this off. Yeah, no, guys, we're doing this. We've talked about this a few
times. And this is it. We're gonna start. So first episode, moron nation unfiltered
episode one. Probably yes, moron nation unfiltered, but you guys, this is moron nation. Yeah,
two morons and a couple of mics is what this is going to be. And it's no different than us
sitting out working on the cars. But we're going to talk about other things that directly
doesn't always involve us. Well, and also sometimes we get off on a tangent of talking.
No, and people don't, you know, some people, which, what do you mean some people, some people
don't necessarily care to hear us talk. So, you know, you're you if you have chosen to click
into this and watch this podcast or listen to this podcast, you should know this is nothing
but talking. Yeah, like we like to talk, man. I can talk for an hour about taking a shit.
I've heard him do it. Talk about it and and do it. Do the deal. So, obviously, yeah,
that's probably Aaron coming in. Okay. Obviously, guys, let's let's let's talk about the elephant
in the room and not not either one of us, you know, not anymore. This is not the chief and
Sean show. Okay. I loved it guys. There's there's nothing that's the reason that is the reason
that we're doing this podcast. We had an amazing time doing it. That time has come and went.
Is that going to be fuel to do this? Absolutely, man. I mean, that is part of the history of us.
The only difference is you were behind it last time and now you're on it. You know,
Aiden is behind it now. Obviously, when me and chief parted ways, that podcast died with with that.
And it's not going to come back and we're not trying to be the chief and Sean show guys. This
is this is something totally different. This is something. I mean, it ain't totally totally
different. It's not. There's there's just been a replacement that or you know, that's right. And
we understand we're not trying to be that. We are going to tell you where we're at in life these
days versus we told you where we were at them. Yeah. And it will be some of the same but also
different, you know, because it's going to be the same banter of us laughing and us poking fun at
others and probably just pissing a lot of people off to be honest with you. I mean, I'm going to
I'm going to start off by eating a gummy and I'm just not going to care. I don't care. It is. It's
going to be that's the that's the party of my life these days, you know, and I'm not going to sugar
coat things. I have gotten soft in my older age. Soft soft with I mean, I don't know if it's soft
with a tea. I've gotten soft with a lowercase t because there's no coming back from soft with
uppercase t. I don't believe that there's any coming back. I still have it in me. I just
we've been kumbaya with a lot of people recently and once we started running MPK it that's the
way it kind of seemed and that's the way it kind of got and there's still plenty of people that I
it's not that I dislike them. Yeah, I just don't want to be friends with everybody.
I don't like a lot of people. I don't there's a there's a lot of people and the more that we race
the the more people that I don't like sorry I'm turning say so it was Billy Aiden. Okay,
I have been in the position that Aiden is in now and I wasn't good at it. A lot of y'all will
remember the podcast. The sound sucked 76% of the time at least. So Aiden, good luck and Godspeed
my friend. What's happening out there? Is that this heater kicked on? Gotta be. Is a heater running
out there? Yeah, can I have those glasses honey? It's either that or a little peach running. That's
what it sounds like, doesn't it? So with that being said guys.
Oh, was that loud? Sorry. Sorry. So with that being said guys, my name is Sean Ellington.
A lot of you know me as Murder Nova. We're morons. You're the fullest. We're not just
morons. We are the king morons. We are the morons that morons look up to. And I am Phantom.
Morons. Yes. So VP of moron nation. Yes. Yes. We're going to we're going to kick back. We're
going to have a good time and we're going to see where this leads. We've had a good thing going before
and it makes me it's something that I lay in bed at night and think about where could we be if we
would have kept going? We already we had tens of listeners. Tens of listeners. I mean it was probably
we have 30 maybe even 40 listeners probably by now by this time. What eight years later? I mean we
we got shut down in 2017. So yeah eight years. So I said something the other day and and Aidan is
I mean he's going to be a chip off the block. Which going to be? It upsets me a lot. I mean
but it's got to make you super mad but also at the same time you're like yeah. Yeah because it's
everything that I say, everything that I used to be, everything that I've done. He can't get anything
over on me. You know why? Because I know what he's thinking. So the other day I was like man just
thank me and chief would have kept up with the podcast what it would be today and Aidan said
yeah canceled. Oh yeah. And he's not wrong you know but at this point good luck canceling me.
Yeah I mean you've already got fired so. Who's going to cancel me? I don't have a boss.
The only boss that I have just left and she brought me my glasses. She knows I'm doing this.
And she knows what it is. Well because she knows what it's like whenever you put me in front of a
mic. Well that's why you put me in front of a camera and honestly guys we're not unless something
slips out that we really really don't want out there. We're not editing. We're not going to edit
this stuff. No but there is a reason that this isn't live. Oh yeah because yeah because I'm a
mouth is reckless sometimes and I'm a can't be trusted sometimes. It's it's not that we can't
get canceled or fired but you know people might choose to not give us money and that's kind of
what we're after these days. Yeah well we gotta be. Yeah we gotta be with the way that our life is
these days guys which brings us to our man and this first one guys is going to be a whole lot
of catching up. That's basically what this first podcast is going to be about. It's going to be
about us explaining to you guys kind of where we're at in life what we have planned. You know
we'll talk about where we've been a little bit too. When championships. Yeah I mean obviously
street outlaws is on TV right now. It is. I have not got to watch it because
truthfully I watched a couple but honestly man like if I'm not here working in this shop I go
home and I work in my own shop so I don't really. And we've been working a lot and it's been a lot
of late nights and it's another late night guys. It's we're starting this at 7.15 right now.
We're trying to get ready for winter series. Yes we don't want to jump ahead. We're going to talk
about that here in just a little bit but the fact that it's winter time doesn't really mean anything
to us. Yeah we still have to be out here in the shop and in the winter time the only thing that
winter time does is it means less racing and zero paychecks. And now that there's no street
outlaws there is zero paychecks and there hasn't been any paychecks for six months. So this is
how we make money guys. So like and subscribe on our YouTube. Yeah the YouTube so this will also
we're going to have to figure it out. It was a process last time to get the podcast on iTunes
and all the main podcast things. It will happen. It will be there. You will be able to either watch
us or listen to us on all of your favorite platforms. Yes but until then we are going to
film it and put it on YouTube. Yes because there's a lot of people like Aiden tells me whenever I
talked about this because man this has always been in the back of our heads to do something else
like this. And I've talked to lots of my buddies about doing it too and it just doesn't make sense.
I'm in the shop with you every day. It only makes sense for me and you to do it. I'm not going to
travel somewhere even if it's an hour away 45 minutes away and do it with with somebody else
whenever I think that we have the recipe here you know. So I mean the YouTube's turned out decent.
Yeah yeah so and you know how it is man. People's lives get in the way and let's just say that I
picked Dave to to do a podcast with. He's gone all the time. All the time. He is always up in
yes he literally told me he's leaving tomorrow and he's headed to New York where it's already
selling. So you know it only makes sense to do this guys and it's kind of like the YouTube man
even if it's not that good and you guys don't watch or listen we're going to keep on doing it.
We're just going to shove it down your throat and just keep on doing it man because that's
what we got these days. We're going to do this and when we're not racing we're going to be in the
shop working and we're going to try to pump out some videos and we'll sit down as of right now
we're going to try to do this what twice twice a month I think twice a month twice a month for
right now is what we're going to try to do and it'll depend on you guys you know if you watch it
we'll make more. Yeah and obviously as it gets better and we do we'll probably do more so.
So back to Street Outlaws being on TV season six the which was the last season it was ever filmed
it is on TV right now it's on Discovery and Discovery Go if you don't have cable you can
watch it on the app. The last race that I watched was Idaho and if you'll remember Idaho Idaho is
kind of always where we get our shit together every year and things start going our way well.
We like Idaho man. We do. That track has been good to us. It has it's up in elevation but
we're always fast there but we had we struggled early in the season we had some wiring issues
with the car had the car rewired went to Tulsa ran really good there and then from Tulsa we went up
to Idaho where we're kind of on a roll running good and then we line up with Lizzie's new car
and we made a hell of a pass and she drove away from us
pretty much from the 60 foot to the. See I thought that that was in
Vandemire. Nope Idaho. Okay man that was you you really couldn't do anything but laugh guys
because I was extremely happy with the pass that we made and to watch her drive out of my life
the way that she did I think I remember you saying man was it close on the big end and I was like
absolutely not no absolutely not you know uh obviously you know I'll take a minute to say this
to uh we miss Lizzie a lot um so to see her happy and doing well on tv it's it's it's pretty uplifting
too you know so it's good and I'm glad that it came out and I'm glad that she had a good season
for sure but it was very very humbling to watch her drive out of our lives because that's about
the time that our car was like you said coming around you know and we felt like we had a hot rod
hers was hot rodder man it was on one to say the least yes so congrats to her on that you know
she's done well um and so so then the next episode which just aired this Monday was Vandemire they did
a great eight and the Vandemire race on the same night her and Chuck 55 a big world of finals well
they finished the finals from Idaho in Vandemire yes and I was very upset about that yes as as the
team captain knowing how bad her being a nitrous car she would drag Chuck in Vandemire what is
oh that's that was the door so but what could you do you know there was no they they they couldn't
finish it so they wanted to fit in and I was I knew the outcome I knew that what the outcome was
going to be there's that is the outcome whenever you have a nitrous car that is running well and you
put it up in Vandemire it's not going to lose as much as what the boosted cars are going to I remember
I remember that race we uh you know we put head gaskets on the car to get some more compression
Chuck put different pistons in thinner head gaskets all kind of stuff to try to compensate yeah and
it just she drove away you know and then she ended up winning Vandemire too right no Kai won both
nights really I thought she won two in a row she won she did she won Tulsa in Idaho yeah yeah
but it is cool to see it on tv guys and I know including us
the reason that there's not a show anymore is because I don't have cable and I promise a lot
of you don't either that's just the way it is these days everything is streamed I stream everything
and I'm an old man so for the old for my generation to not have cable yeah it sucked at first because
I don't like changes um no I'm a guy who's set in my ways and I go home and I watch cable that's
what I do and now my whole life is turned upside down because all I do is watch youtube and uh
from time to time I watch netflix yeah but honestly I watch more youtube than I watch anything
you know uh so I don't necessarily watch a lot of youtube but I you know I watch netflix
hulu peacock like all that stuff so but yeah it's pretty crazy but that's that's the reason
that the viewership on all tv stuff has went down is because people don't watch tv and I get it
you know so I was I was I was trying to find the ratings and everything from how the show was
doing which which isn't great compared to what it used to be but also the number one television show
like on on monday night that used to be say 11 or 12 or 13 or 14 million is like
six or eight now you know what I mean so nobody has regular tv anywhere like you said everything is
streamed so it's so that that you know puts a damper on uh the money that that people like
discovery gets for tv shows and obviously with all of our hot rods our show is expensive to make
so yes very very expensive it's it was expensive to make it was expensive to get there like everything
about the whole deal is expensive but uh so bandamere's over uh kyle and both of those the next
race I will be watching I don't care what we're doing where we're at which will be important when
it's on but it's vegas oh yeah yeah you'll remember we did well we did well you know
you remember but also on the way to vegas it was a bad deal that's where I blew up my rig
again yeah yeah so it was good and bad at the same time yeah and we're working out of the little
trailer you know the rest of the year we had the big trailer there there and then after that
Aiden brought the little trailer out him and dad yeah you know we had to use little p to take
the stacker up there and man it was not happy it was not happy but that is kind of uh the end of
street up all like you know oh yeah no there's there's definitely not going to be any more
you know so it's at least they are showing this right now and honestly I don't believe
per how tv is now that the ratings are terrible it doesn't seem to be terrible like just going off
of like it's in look man why is this one fly in here I don't know what has happened I don't know
you need to get pope in here and oh I felt like you had him and then he flew off you know
I thought that was loud wasn't it he's uh maybe he knows that his life is almost ended and now
he's gonna get out of here so yep um what nothing you're just gonna sit and smile at us all
the time are you having a good time over there did it come back I don't see him yet oh good yeah good
so
so most recently guys we went down to the xrp and got to this is the second time we went last year
and it was the first time I don't know if any of you remember but it was the first time I ever
got in the 530 class and we went down there I took the 55 and I made it to what third third
third or fourth third or fourth something like that and so then phantom finally got his truck
done I'm sure you guys saw some of the videos if you didn't go check it out uh we are extremely
happy with the truck I know he is yeah so yeah you take it out and you run 530s the first time
we take the truck out and and tune on it and uh man it's just like clockwork runs 30s I do believe
that we could have went a lot faster with the truck down there but we were also running the 530 class
so basically we didn't mess with the tune up the whole time you were down there didn't touch it
after first round after the first round we know that he went it probably would have went in the
20s but he was he was playing the game on the big end you know he's pedaling it he's lifting
him and Aiden both and uh we went down there and and they both did well uh Aiden went probably his
fastest time obviously it was off the draggy but uh he pedaled it twice uh playing the game on the
big end and went uh 534 and it's pretty impressive man yes but the air was killer the track was good
we like xrp guys it's it's close to us it's always a good track and uh jimmy dale and poland can
can bring in the racers there were 66 cars there in that class this weekend yeah 66 impressive
like that's a lot of cars man and uh Aiden his first round drew a guy that races like they have
530 races down in texas every single weekend two or three times a weekend and it's the same people
and many is in every single one of them so when he's a veteran man he's good oh yeah the only reason
this is nothing bad against him he's a hell no he's a buddy of ours yeah um the only reason that
that we're so happy and shocked is because put it on paper and and Aiden shouldn't outrun many
man it's fly i'm gonna i'm gonna kill him you put it on paper and we were stoked this had
nothing to do with who he raced it had everything to do with him winning and going on to the next
round yep because he's been racing this car guys uh all last season with us well at three of the
races that jimmy dale and them had yep and he went rounds at the first one and then always got
beat the first round by cars that would actually run 530 you put the 55 at uh even an iffy track
no prep ish you know because that's what the no prep king stun was no prep ish then we can't leave
as hard as what it leaves down there because then you take a chance to spin in the tires and
that's why you need a car that all out will run 490s and then you can slow it down to what you need
that way uh when it's the middle of the day or heat of the track you could turn it up from
half track on and still run that et or car that runs 390s like the guy that i lost that's right
that won the deal the guy who came out won the deal yeah the guy who told everybody hey i'm just
out here testing yeah don't worry about it just all you got to do is don't go red yeah and then he
wins the whole race let's go to the button every pass smokes the tires at the 60 foot yeah smokes
the tires and you know what it takes to smoke the tires at that track at that track no i don't have
to be trying to run threes yeah yes unbelievable man and then that whatever yeah but so like i was
super stoked for aiden on his race against man he you know obviously because he ended up winning but
man he treed the shit out of him like he you told him leave first one of your only chances to beat
man he is you have to leave before him and he did he did it he did so and he's bumping the car good
all up until that last pass that he made and then and then he went in deep uh i think that that kind
of threw him off but also he had to reach down and put the shifter back in first don't know if he
put it in second or he said that it shifted in a second yeah i don't see how oh you knocked it
in a second okay that makes more sense a little accountability there yeah so he does yeah yeah
yeah he admits it whenever he messes up and he does things wrong so yeah yeah no uh it was a good
time um it was my first time you know my it was my first time to ever index race period um besides
Tulsa the week before where i went out first round so but it was a lot of fun i've i've been wanting
to enter little gangsters with my truck ever since it kind of became a thing and uh to get out there
and finally get to do it and then go some rounds man i was i was stoked it was it was a lot of fun
until my last round even then it was fun it was a good time no matter what guys uh it's always cold
down there god it was cold it's so cold and i wasn't even racing anything i was just spectating
and it was a great time yes it does and it was still a great time so uh chen and morgan and them
run a good show so it was a good event yep so bad that's something that we'll probably try to do a
little bit more yeah once we get Aiden's car done what no i didn't do that on purpose i just
hey sometimes i well we're gonna have to fix that because i'm gonna fidget as well yeah eventually
so um once we get Aiden Chevelle going i'll race the 55 phantom's truck will race 5 30s
Aiden's car will race 5 30s and then get Dalton to bring his car and run 5 30s and it's gonna be
amazing yep so um and maybe we're gonna have some more time to do it we don't really know
i mean we got nothing else to do well we got a few things to do which we can start talking
about that yeah so next year guys we got a few things going so uh ryan and i are going to and
Carson are going to have our own small tire races and it's not gonna be anything huge it's
gonna be at smaller venues littler tracks not a whole lot to win 10 15 000 and then we're gonna
have some other classes and we may do some other things at these events also not just drag racing
so uh pr i's in a couple of weeks and we're going to finish everything up and i really
feel bad for Carson because he's working his ass off on this deal you know and and he just
poor guy just can't get anything out of me and ryan well that's what i was fixing to say like
because damn trying to get you guys lined out yeah and and trying to get us lined out when
worth there is tough yeah try to get us lined out when you're halfway across the country yeah ryan's
doing his own stuff i'm doing my own stuff yeah and uh you guys are just kind of people that you
just you figure it all out and then say this is what we're doing we wing it yeah and and
Carson is so Carson's not a guy he is not a wing it guy he's got to have everything planned out
and he's done amazing on everything uh with that being said he's already reached out to all the
tracks he's already confirmed all the tracks uh we will have a schedule out soon guys and this is
gonna be that it's eight to ten races um what uh like did you say small tire stuff small tire
stuff like small tire like adan's car small tire or small tire car like og both did you get it
okay no i didn't see it go uh both like me and ryan will have i'll obviously have the og there
and uh we're gonna have some other classes i'm just not real sure yet and i don't want to
yeah put my foot in my mouth and say we're gonna have this class we're gonna be a little gangster
is gonna be at every every race no i'm not saying that but hey i have talked to jimmy dill and and
we might do a couple together yeah uh but even if they're not around we're still gonna have some
small tire stuff some some some sort of index racing oh yeah he got um we've talked about
lots of things uh i do know that a couple of the the venues that we're going to have burnout pits
yeah yeah so uh we're just gonna kind of go and and and have a good time we don't need
we're not gonna expect to get mpk events you know what i mean but eventually we might so
in my mind you're talking kind of like the uh forter race that we went to earlier this year
kind of like what kyan ryan did last winter okay i mean that i had a good time down there
other than going out for nothing huge man uh 10 to 15 thousand win and
just go meet the fans and have a good time yeah let the local fans bring their cars
okay get in where you fit in yeah so i think it'll be cool so with that being said i i that's
really about all i can talk about on that because i don't know a whole lot carson's probably upset
because i'm not paying attention i'm carson's carson's gonna be watching this he's like he's
already talking about it and then we're gonna end it here and you're gonna go yeah he didn't
tell him nothing so yes uh carson sorry buddy if you do listen i i know he's busy he's not going
if you're not going to yeah but he really has worked his ass off on this and he's put it all
together so okay so but enough enough of that i i i need to like what's coming up next for us
which we're fixing to leave for in the morning or tomorrow afternoon is
let's let's let's push that and talk about the pro mod stuff that we're doing next year
like we're obviously gonna race all of keith hanes all the midwest drag midwest drag race
you know i want to say midwest pro mod yeah that's the same thing um
we are going to we made sure that none of our races would fall on top of that
and we are going to race all season long and we i mean we plan to be in trouble if we're there
we plan on winning the championship so that's that's where we're at with it and that's what
we plan on doing we everyone loves us being there yes yes everybody loves us being there
everybody is is kumbaya on the starting line with us um and on the big end we don't even if we
feel a certain way about somebody that's there we don't tell them we keep that to ourselves
very very keep everything under our hats yeah we're the tv racers that are out there that uh
want to race fair and the real racers are the ones that play the starting starting line games and
yeah all that stuff so yeah i'm i'm i'm happy right now though i'm i'm in a good place in my
mind right now and i'm not gonna get upset about starting staging line duels and and uh who goes in
first and whatnot you know why because we go in second that's right did you see i carried that
over to my program also bet bet we go in second yeah yeah i uh look we learned our lesson and uh
brandon has even told me that's possibly one of the best thing that's ever happened to you i know
it wasn't cool at the time because it hurt a lot of stuff but now the way that you stage the car
and everything is way better so i like it i'm happy we're gonna see how it plays out at winter
series oh man i uh i'm ready for winter winter series i am too uh we we got the car fired up
last night guys uh to finish what else we're doing next year man that's really what we got on our
plate right now uh those two series mine iran's and karson's series and keith haney series and
other than that uh everybody knows that keith haney just came out with that big
nhra titan kb titan kb titan pro mod program uh i don't know if that translates over to us at all
obviously it would take a lot to get blue blue legal to race at nhra blue is a very nice car
very very nice car but it would still need some updating uh for us to be able to race it in nhra
plus i was going over the rules and for us to race that in nhra man we'd have to nut that thing
yeah 30 like we're they would limit us to 36 pounds of boost uh the weight isn't really a big deal
but the boost limit of 36 pounds that'd be that'd be killer uh and then did i see something that
they're going to eighth mile that's the other one okay i thought somebody see somebody was
telling me that that's in hr now not in hra very quarter mile
that's the other one yeah that's where you get free ice that's the that's the i hra over there
man if you guys like ice go race at i hra i the ice hot rod association yeah so free ice
man free ice that's all you ever hear about it it looks really cool a and the pouts are amazing
guys oh yeah and i'm not saying that we're not gonna go race some of their events but we're
probably not gonna go race any of their events so it uh i don't think that will happen but maybe
you never know it's hard to see the future like that it is it is um why am i bleeding now if we
were gonna go and race and strictly try to make money racing that's it's it's a it's a good place
to go you know it i mean the payouts are good the payouts are good but man you know they pay out
down to the quarters which is pretty good you know um but yeah i mean we touched on it
winter series what are you thinking last year last year we were there we missed this first race
because we were in brazil uh the snowbirds um and then the next two races we didn't qualify
which was uh pretty disheartening yeah it wasn't from lack of effort very very humbling guys but
we didn't know the car okay and and i'm gonna put it i'm gonna put that on it a lot um
we didn't have the test time
and that's really nobody's fault the car wasn't ready until the first race now after the first
race i'm sorry which would have been our first race the second race now what should have happened
is we should have stayed there after that race and tested until we got it right
yeah but there's only so much that we can do
as a driver and a crew chief yeah because it's not our car yes i mean we treat it like it like it is
and and and over this past year we 100 percent have taken it and and uh i told keith you know
and i'm gonna be honest with you it's a moth why is there so many bugs in here lots of bugs in here
and i don't feel like it's getting any warmer so uh and i told keith whenever we left world series of
pro mod i said hey man i'm gonna have to run this car the way that we want to run it and uh he said
absolutely you know so that's what we started doing after that we brought the car home here to our
shop and we blew it apart and we changed a lot of stuff and uh obviously we had a big problem with
the shocks that were down there uh we're not happy and luckily
oh yes scott scott kid well loaned us a brand new set and these aren't these these aren't some uh
these aren't some o'reilly shocks like this isn't a set of hundred dollar shocks this is a 15
thousand dollar set of shocks that he dug out of his trailer and said here go fix that pile of
shit yep hey and it did get better yeah we were and i'm sure that there's a lot of people that
are thinking the same thing but we were truly one more pass away from qualifying at that
race i mean we missed it by like a hundred yeah both races yeah that sucks man but hey it is what
it is we and we you've heard us say this a bunch get your shit together guys and we didn't have our
shit together that's the bottom line we didn't have our shit together and we didn't qualify very
very very humbling but we left there and we fixed it and then the first race in the midwest
that we went to we won so at xrp and so uh ever since then we've we've had a hot rod
you know and and i think that uh we still have a hot rod which i saw somebody just the other day
after we said loaded up ready for winter series somebody said well it's too bad y'all don't test
we test it all year i said i saw that and i sat there for a minute i was like what yeah what do
you mean you don't test you know and the only thing i can think of is that this guy's a swan
strum fan okay hey hear me out hear me out i'm not this is not a dig at swan strum because i
truly truly do like justin i think justin's a good dude yeah but he tests non-stop they do okay
you don't need to test non-stop okay if you have your shit together you don't have to test that
much okay there is a a fine line in testing and wearing your shit out for no reason for for sure
like if you're if you're trying new stuff all the time or you're you know you got a brand new car
that you don't have any laps on and and you're trying to figure out what that needs but we
literally haven't changed anything on our car all year so everything so this guy is either a
swan strum fan who sees him test a lot which swan strum tests a lot because he does he changes a
lot of stuff up and uh he has a lot of different combinations but if you watch his social media
or you watch his youtube the dude is testing something every week you know what i mean yes
we don't have four promods no okay we have one that we tested and raced all year long
yes that is pretty damn lined out 60 laps or more okay so that is why i told this guy no we're not
testing you know i mean we'll test the week of but he's also probably watching the other people
that are gearing up and testing for winter series those guys probably didn't put the laps on their
cars than what we did well they're you know there's a lot of brand new like brand brand new cars that
are coming to this date yeah and then you see jimmy out testing because he's out getting the world
record and stuff and put a pin on that i want to talk about that too but uh uh just multiple people
out testing these promods and i get it i see why they're all testing and i'm not saying i mean i have
said that testing is for people who don't have their shit together but i'm not saying that we
don't need to test we're gonna test it's just we're not going to beat the brakes off of the car
no so the only reason in my mind that we need to make more than two passes is to make sure that
the tires are broke in and we're going to go straight because we had that problem with them
and the tire you know some of the tires that you're getting these days just the qc's gone down
do not coexist with each other no so uh getting the car to go straight is a thing nowadays
we know the car is lined out the car goes straight and it makes a lot of power so you
shouldn't have to chase your ass just from changing tires and that's what we had to do in tulsa and
finally we put the old tires back on it and it went straight again so we have a new another set of
wheels and we have two sets of brand new tires that are ready to be shaken down in two different
compounds just because they say that you use a different compound depending on the track condition
so we're we are we're more prepared this year than we were going into last year absolutely
absolutely i i wholeheartedly believe that and i i do think that i am going to be upset if we don't
do well oh man i'll be i'll be heartbroken if we don't if we don't if we don't do good i mean
we have a car that has been faster than can you put a percentage on it i mean 90 i i i would
is that too much hang on is that too high i mean i would say minimum of 80 of the cars
there's not a lot of people who've been 55 i said 90 no 55 oh yeah we've been 55 not a lot of people
and there's a lot of people have been i mean i'm not gonna say a lot of people the people who have
been in the 50s 58 59 yeah is the majority of the people that have been in the 50s so for us to go
55 in 104 air well we're gonna be at weight here too but for us to do that and then go
back to a track that is it is equally as good but the air be so much better have
have you been looking at the weather i haven't man because i don't want to get my hopes up too
much but i think that this car is going to run as fast as brandon wants it to i mean i believe
that too we we got to add weight to the car but 35 pounds man i'll be honest with you all turbos
don't care about that a little bit away that's 35 pounds we actually got a weight break this year
yeah we did mark but there's gonna be a lot of a lot of turbo cars correct there is so there's
more there's more turbo cars at this first race and i say this first race because who knows
they could take them off after the first race look guys turbo life ain't for everybody man it's hard
it's hard to stage them there's a reason that everybody's like and and i say everybody i've
been in that group of everybody before they're good qualifiers oh yeah i mean look look at uh
the the mpk car we were friday night heroes man whenever the track was good when it would cool
down the track would tighten up i'll promise you our ets were top three every friday night yep and
then couldn't do nothing the next day nope so they're they're good they're good qualifiers
they're not good test takers you know so once once uh eliminations go and a lot of it guys is
just because of the bullshit you got to deal with stage in the car you stage those cars man and it's
a mess and and i feel like i'm okay at it i've i've put up with my bullshit throughout the past
and and i've had to worry about not getting screwed as i stage the car and it's always something
man it just sucks and then you seem like a crybaby whenever you get out of the car and you and you
you know tell somebody what you think about them you know like and i've always been an advocate for
not only have your shit together but you the person that you're racing should never change
their program or whoever they're racing you shouldn't do that and i have always been
how can i not allow that person over there to screw me
and it's always something new it seems like they come up with what shit i didn't think about that
they always come up with new ways to screw always come up with a new way hey and and to be honest
with you guys there for a while once i swap the the mpk car from turbos to pro charger i'd do
anything i can't screw a turbo car aside from hurting their burns i'm not gonna i'm not gonna
hold somebody out that is the one thing that i won't do now i'm gonna i'm gonna make you see if
you can spool your shit and seven seven seven get in there early i'm gonna chuck it in there early
man hey i'm gonna sit there and i'm gonna boop boop i'm gonna i'm gonna go in and as soon as they
like their top one i'm gonna be double bolted as soon as it happens yeah as soon as it happens
so which you know that's nine i almost say 10 out of 10 people can spool their car in seven seconds
get in oh yeah if you can't then i'm gonna i'm gonna use that advantage yeah that's not hurting
your car no you know you're still gonna leave you're just probably not gonna leave on boost
exactly not as much boost anyways but i don't know man i i'm i'm getting to the point now
where we're not on the street anymore you know what i mean you don't have to play those games no
i mean i guess it's easy enough to get in people's heads without playing starting line games
you could get in people's heads before you even get in the car oh yeah you do it to scott all the time
i did i used to do it to scott all the time what do you mean you used to you still do i don't
care if y'all are good no we are good though hey i seen he won a race tonight he did and congrats
buddy what gulfport i think it is yeah yeah hey that that car look man that car's impressive it was
like or it is it's impressive on a big tire it's and and it looks like it was impressive on a on a
radial and now he's on a slick so it's just it seems like it's a good car man i'm happy for him
you know it's uh it's a dual it's an all-purpose car well it's it's cool because i think it's his
very first brand new car that they actually built for him yes so uh i think that the the other car
that uh rinke is racing now it was actually built for him wasn't it maybe but he never raced it he
sold it before he sold it for him ronnie bought it from scott scott never raced that car no not at all
i don't know maybe it was uh oh no that car with turbos no that was a silver car that's the one
that he swapped pro charger because it was turbo the first half of season and he put a pro charger
back on it because turbos just didn't work were we raced he scott never raced that gold car or tan
whatever color it is really yep what did he race before then uh that fourth gen transam
and john doe i thought he had another one in between there six gen just the silver one
they have that silver car for a couple years a few years okay
yeah i don't know i've slept since then but but yeah no that's pretty cool that he won that deal
um so doing what what are you sign language it back there 45 minutes nice oh man we ain't even
close to no yeah no we're just gonna keep on talking no i see at least three more two more
that we're gonna have to touch on you're talking about touching on kayla i'm not touching on kayla
i'm afraid that she would she would beat you up yeah put you in a headlock she would
armpits are probably smelly i want i want to talk about kayla later oh that's
i'm just playing kayla i'm gonna tell her she's somebody somebody's gonna hear it i'm gonna tell
her to beat you up so with that being said i do like our chances at winter series guys
but it's just gonna be amazing to i mean everybody that we've ever watched at promont's
gonna be there i mean everybody and okay so we're gonna qualify ahead of them
dude i i want to qualify number one at this race so bad at all three of them and and i wanted to
do that beforehand but now they have brought this deal in bickle has has come on board jerry bickle
race cars which is what blue is king dangling of door card chassis or drag i mean he builds
dragsters too anyways if you can qualify you guys will probably remember we talk about the bible
the chassis bible yes that's the bickle book if you can qualify number one at all three races
which is what martin micky did last year he did i know he missed it by one year didn't he if you
qualify number one at all three races you win a brand new jerry bickle promont brand new jerry
bickle promont it's yours it's unbelievable man like dude look man there's a reason that they call
him big dick mick hey and he could probably do it again this year i mean he's gonna be there he's
gonna be trying he's gonna be there he's gonna be there for a reason man he's coming to qualify
number one i didn't think that he was gonna race it anymore i thought that he was gonna put his car
in outlaw trim and then not trim race anymore yeah you know and and uh man we were kind of counting
on that he is uh yeah like i would hold my hopes and my chances of qualifying number one way higher
if he wasn't around yeah because that's what he does martin micky goes to drag races promont races
and he qualifies number one and then there's a good damn chance of it that he's gonna win the whole
race too because that's what he did at midwest drag racing series two years ago i know he qualified
number one like he qualified number one like 11 races in a row and then he won every race he went
to accept one in the midwest that year that he won the championship i know unbelievable man
mind boggling i know there's a reason that everybody looks up to him he is the he's the godfather
of turbos i mean he's gotta be gotta be so that's cool and then then and then like the chances of
this happening the chances of that happening again are i couldn't even tell you what the chances are
but then if you can win all three races winning winning two winning one race is tough winning
one race is unheard of like i mean somebody's gonna do it somebody on the property is gonna do it
yeah but man like to win one race not many people will get that opportunity man and kind of did it
yes he did so to win one race is hard to win two races in a row it's almost impossible it's
yes kins done it yes uh
did he did he win the two not last year oh no because steve king steve king won the third one
yeah i don't know but to win three races in a row yeah it's it's it's unbelievable but oh it but
if you do that you win a million dollars million dollars guys not just a million dollars not just
the 50 or 150 that it is to win the race itself it's because it's 50 at the first two and then the
world series promo it's like 150 or 100 or something like that i thought it was 50 100 and then 150
but i don't know maybe anyways a million dollars if you can win three races in a row
unbelievable what would you do with a million dollars i i don't know below it yeah 100 yeah 100
percent hang on i want to pause for a second guys we're gonna talk about our sponsor for this uh
yeah first little podcast okay how's that who is it let's bring it up man let's talk about it man
i'm so happy to talk about this one too look man if you guys want the winning combo okay
winning combo hit up our eric diller to proline racing and get yourself one of the
baddest bullets on the on the market like proline racing has been a part of our
program for how many years now i mean i feel like i was one of the first you got the had to be the
first proline engine in oklahoma back in 2011 i've got i mean there may have been somebody else but
at that point man we took them a cobbled up mess of big block parts and dillard is smart enough to
know look this guy ain't got no money but this guy right here he's he's on his way up he's got a
following and man he jumped on board with me you know and and he even did me a good deal like he's
done me good deals for forever like never gave me anything guys let's let's get that out there
never gave proline doesn't have to give things away um but man then once we stepped into i mean
we ran proline ever since them ever even with the small block proline and now the himmys are just
they they've got it figured out guys and you don't just run there you can get that same block same
heads same crank same piston same cams well maybe not the same cams from anybody but it isn't just
the parts that you get from them it's everything it's the whole network of stuff that you get when
you use proline racing um even whenever it was 2020 and you couldn't get parts guess who could
proline proline because they buy so many if you're just one dude trying to get some rods good luck
yes so so if you are headed down to the winter series and you're looking for that million dollar
payday you better have a proline in there or even if you're just out racing every weekend and you
want the best shot at winning hit up proline racing dot net yep see what they can do for you hit them
up they've they've got something for everybody's program but get the hemi yeah get the hemi save up
for the hemi guys because a hemi is designed to race it's a real racing motor so uh look what our
program has done not just being with proline we never had engine problems until we ran more than
80 82 pounds of boots yeah you know what I mean and then that was us that was that was on us because
we're morons but man we stepped into this hemi program and and we turned things around him he's
are made for racing yep so thank you so much proline racing uh we've been you know great all
these years very proud to be a part of the proline family that's right so okay so back to the million
dollars man million dollars man you know how many hemi's you could buy with that I do you can buy
almost 10 almost 10 you could probably buy nine probably buy nine and then the whatever that it's
over the hundred you know would would go to that yeah to that dealer tax a million dollars I know
it's unbelievable man and I don't know what the chances of that happening would be I'm not
statistic I bet I bet stat guy has a uh a decent idea yeah of what it would be yeah unbelievable
is so so so the the deal is uh Westbuck at drag illustrated partnered up with Richard Freeman
from Elite and they have put this together in the off chance that someone could win three races
in a row against 80 something of the baddest pro mods on earth get a million bucks it's crazy
absolutely crazy honestly man like and we've said this it doesn't just take a bad pro mod to win man
it takes a bad driver too and I don't know that I I'm up to par with them guys yet you know like
I mean it takes it takes everything man it's like it's not just a car it's not just a driver it's
not just a crew it's not just a tuner like all of that stuff has to be such a well oiled machine
everything has to work together and even then you need a ton of luck yep like just all there's
only so many times you can go double oh on the light before you end up going red yep you know
and then you bring in people like man let's talk about old dude I don't hate the dude yeah you
know what I mean on the light my god like the dude is he's got it man like I don't know what he
does but did you see his average reaction time I did so stat guy put out his stat guy's always
doing stats as the name would suggest for midwest drag racing series he put out like the top five
or six people based on their top six reaction reaction times during eliminations yes which is
even more impressive Jacob McNeil goes 009 on the average on the average on the average unbelievable
man yeah if I wouldn't have I had a couple that run that whole deal is all I did and one of them
was against Jacob McNeil whenever I mad I don't know I was just driving angry guys I was driving
angrily angry that was one time I've driven angry like that on the street before oh whenever you're
behind you know and you do everything you can you just force it down through there and I should
have done that but that's just part of it man it happens sometimes but you know but there was
people that was very close behind him oh yeah Keith was like number three or something maybe
Cali Mills was on there she can cut a light she can you know Kai's good at cutting a light
Kai never ran that series or I think that he would be pretty high up there yeah I mean dude
there's a lot of people that can cut a light uh uh Ken Cortuccio he's a bad man on the light
I mean every everyone down here what do you know the final number of actual interpromots
I've heard 86 I've heard 84 I've heard 80 I've heard 80s I don't know I just heard that it's in
the 80s like they're 80 there's 80 something people down here that are gonna be just the
baddest of the bad and all have a plan they all plan to be the best they can on the light they
plan to have the best tuners on the property to give them the best chance at winning and uh
it's gonna be tough man like gonna be so tough if it was tough if it wasn't tough man it wouldn't
be worth going no no it would it would just be another race at that point like what uh what Wes
has done to that to make this whole deal happens pretty cool yeah every year it just gets tougher
and tougher yeah and I feel like we have a car that is very very capable of running with anything
there I believe that too because it's exactly like Martin Mickey he's really good every year
yeah there's a reason it's exactly like Martin Mickey so yep so yep so pretty impressive one
dude that's going to be there for sure like we need to talk about this guy right now like
before we forget Jimmy Taylor world record holder what's your thoughts like what do you
think about what he has done I'm uh I'm disappointed they didn't get the four second barrier I think
that they could have I think that the reason that they didn't get that which and it may not have
even went that but I know that they turned the car down just to make a full pass because the track
probably wasn't what he wanted it to be I bet that track gets so terrible with that many cars
running up and down it oiling it down every other lap every other pass just douche just
the importance they just ruin that thing I know yeah golly well hey there was a lot of uh domestics
that were oiling everything down this year too so it wasn't just the front wheel drive cars yeah
yes it was but it's it's you know it's just part of it but I do believe that
I saw the car turn sideways that one time in and it was like right at the eight
where he's going already 240 miles per hour yes yes unbelievable like
what's you do it I don't know that I even want to attempt to go that fast in the eighth yes I
want to attempt to go as fast as we can possibly go in eighth man I I want to run some 40s and I
think that we will yeah but I don't know that I want to hang them out and go quarter mile I even
told him that us man go look brother yeah you know there's no coming back from that man it's like I
don't care what car you got who built your car 300 mile an hour man that's no joke roll one of them
things up at 300 mile an hour see what happens well okay so it's uncharted territory no one's been
that fast no everything that he's doing is trying to rip that car apart like no one knows what that
carbon's gonna do at 300 mile like yeah that I think they had to do it's gonna cave in I mean
they've had a rip off they had it in a wind tunnel I think or I know he was looking for a wind tunnel
but man you don't know you don't know like I mean even the wind tunnel yeah it's it's blowing on it
but it's not the the power of the car shaking everything while it's shaking and and dude they
broke parts like crazy just doing what they did yeah so you know you gotta be
and you gotta really want it to go out and have the mindset to I'm gonna set this record
like it's a commitment it is it's a commitment because he spent a lot of money and a lot of time
and a lot of change in parts way more than what we even realize the thing he's got a lot of money
he spent a lot of it he did he did no and I'm happy for him I'm glad that he did as well as he did
I really like Jimmy you know but as far as and and he's putting his money where his mouth is man
because he everybody has said it's very simple to do that on test and tune with a turbo car you know
and we talk about this oh yeah turbo cars are good testers yeah but let's see let's see how he
does on race day and that's what everybody's saying and that's where he's putting his money
where his mouth is because he's saying that during qualifying he will run in the 40s he did say that
I think that hey and I'm not saying that he won't I think so let's just let's just say the car's
300 pounds light to run what it was running okay it was it was it was it was 200 pounds lighter than
what we have to weigh 200 okay so 200 pounds 2480 is what he was is what he said he was we can't
get our car that light no not not with you in it no man jimmy's pretty close to the same size too
yep so he may be like I think he's actually a little bit bigger than you are now um so
I still think dude he was running 43 like clockwork like just bam bam bam bam add that 200
pounds back and there's no reason he doesn't run 53 like clockwork I wouldn't think so okay so and
that's being not generous at all he might be able to run 50 flat pretty easily and then consider the
air difference because when he ran their numbers what was it 102 102 it wasn't the best it wasn't bad
but it wasn't the best now of course he did it up at a place that you know everybody says this is
where everybody breaks records at so that's controversial too yes but I think I mean realistically
man I don't see him not being able to run 52 pretty easy well he was testing in Orlando last week
and the air was 104 there when he was testing and he didn't post his time but he posted a pass
and if it didn't go 55 or better I'd be very surprised I mean we went 55 in 104 error
probably on a better track than Orlando though maybe so I never I never been to Orlando but
yes uh michigan is very very good but uh he's he's gonna be tough there's gonna be so many tough
people there there's a couple turbo cars I didn't even think about but but seeing Jimmy and and he
acts like it's not a big deal like he's not he's not lacking in confidence no you know and I guess
that's what happens when you make that many passes and you go that much faster you slow it down just a
little bit you know obviously he's got to pull the bigger turbos off of it he's still gonna make
88 make plenty of power I mean what did he go at that IHRA race with 88's I don't know at 2700 he
went up he went at 54 didn't he I don't know did he yeah I'm pretty sure well then I mean he should
be able to run 52 53 once you change that error you would think so I mean we're gonna see in about
four or five days yep I mean I'm there for it you know what I mean if it does good for him that
just means that we can too obviously we want to go as fast as we can because we want to qualify for
higher than him yes just like he wants to qualify higher than us but uh it's gonna be a battle man
there's no doubt about it a turbo car will qualify you think so yes I am gonna stop I gotta piss
all right we're good
our producer's leaving that's all so I mean do you have any doubts that a turbo car
is going to be the one to set the fastest ET
man with those new centrifugals that are out yeah that new hearts and that new pro charger man
they make some steam they do I mean I would like to think that a turbo car is gonna go number one
and that it's gonna be us but man they outqualified us once yeah you know what I mean but the way I
look at it is yeah cuz Robin's gonna be there too yeah Robin's car is fast yeah fast fast fast um
but the way I look at that is I think that we can go faster than them in good air
I think in air that is not ideal they can go the same whereas we slow down no that's kind of what
it seemed like to me because every time that Robin outran us the air wasn't that great and we got
screwed out of our daytime our nighttime pass yeah no that's true that's true I don't know it's gonna
be interesting to see man oh for sure he's still gonna go fast there's there's a ton of new cars
with the hearts there's a ton of new cars with the new pro charger yep and uh you know they still
Manny had that new pro charger on his whenever he just set them to records too he did so for Manny
which you know how it is man not a fan of Manny's um okay and we're talking Manny Bejinga here uh
just not really a fan of his but got it hats off to him oh man hats off to him first off
he's a real racer second off he does whatever it takes to win yes you know hey and you got you
got to like that about him he he does everything that he has is fast um for him to go out and run 48
on a 275 is unbelievable considering that's a tenth over a tenth faster than what the record was
allegedly I mean the poster record the all the note the no let's not do the no time thing on this
they've been faster but you know until you can show somebody yeah it is what it is yeah no the
record before was a 60 flat yeah and I'm guessing that uh I don't care those guys can lie all they
want say how fast they've been they ain't been 48 no no I mean maybe in the 50s I would I would
believe I can I can buy that just because one or two of them that told us yeah you know I mean yeah
yeah um godly that whole deal was impressive also when you put the 315s on it went 231 to
the middle yeah blew my mind unbelievable which brings us to the small tire stuff that is going
to be pretty amazing we've never got to actually watch any racing except what we did in winter
series and now they're gonna have a 28105 class somebody is going threes on a 28 on a 28 slick
so somebody is gonna go in the three when we talk small tire guys like make no mistake a 275 radial
is way faster than a 28105 slick absolutely absolutely no one that we know of or has posted
has ever been a three second anything on a 28105 slick I don't know that anybody has man I honestly
think and the consensus of everything that I've heard is that the Prestons have been the fastest
that I mean there there's always like full cores or whatever you want to call them where
Zabo did it but he never really even said that he did that I that I can find I mean he was fast
but he was fast he was very fast but I don't think so though yeah I mean I feel like he probably
would have said you know what I mean I don't think so I think that the technology gets so much better
every year that how long has it been a long time yeah long time there's no way he was seven years
ahead of everybody else yeah I mean because honestly slick tire racing hasn't really been a thing
unless it's been on uh no prep you know what I mean like it just hasn't like all most small
tire stuff is radial it just has been if it's yeah because it's prepped yes and it's easy but
this whole slick deal that somebody's gonna pick up on that yeah yeah so this whole small
tire 28105 slick that uh is it Poland and Jimmydale that put this together also with with Wes I think
I think so so I'm not a hundred percent sure so this whole deal that they put together
I mean you've got radial guys put yeah Jimmydale is the one that called me yeah it asked me so you
got radial guys that are putting slicks on their car to come out and win I can I don't know how much
it's for but I think the big deal is for all these guys are trying to be the first three
second pass ever everybody's gonna be there man everybody all the big names will be there so all
these no time 275 cars that that you see and shit like they're all putting 28 inch slicks on and
they're all aiming to run three man basically they're chasing that three are the boards lit yeah
oh yeah that's even better that's even better no the boards are lit okay yeah that's that's even better
like I don't I don't like no time right it's the end of the year yeah yeah which Ryan doesn't care
Ryan's Ryan's gonna go fast I'm telling you right now I told Ryan look man somebody's gonna
run threes at that race it may as well be he needs to be like Ryan's been real close to the number
that I literally I've heard the fastest car on a slick has been a 0 9 a 4 0 9 that's pretty fast
yeah that's fast because the fastest we've been on on it guys we'll tell you guys we don't we don't
have a lot of stuff and we we ain't no no time grudge racers no you know whatever but we've been
420s so we've been 420s with og and that was before I realized everybody was running nitrous and
everything yeah we showed up to Tulsa with the og as the og was yeah they were fixing to roll
through some people yeah we were like man 430s 430s maybe 420s will probably win this deal man
then we were the only car out there that didn't have nitrous so anyways no g has nitrous now or
will have nitrous next time I take it out and honestly guys we would like to take it to this race
but taking two cars to any race man both the cars are gonna suffer in my opinion and we we want to
try to do well with blue and we want to focus on one race car I and I know some people are gonna
bring up Lyle when as soon as we say that because he races five cars at this event that's different
Lyle is not the crew chief of those cars and he's a damn good one yep absolutely and he very few
people can do what Lyle does regardless if he works on the cars whenever he gets out of them or not
yes very few people can do and guys trust us man we're fans of Lyle I'm very big fan of Lyle
we've always followed what he does whether it be in beer money or in Elvira or whatever whatever
other pro-modies or LVR car or produce anything you know because if there's seven classes of
race cars there he's going to be in six of them yes you know and going rounds and going rounds
in all of them chopping a tree down in every level yeah so that's that's that's different uh when you
talk about uh each of the cars he races has a crew yes you don't have one crew moving from six
different cars that's right that's what I'm saying you get to when you get us taking two cars to an
event uh it's us doing everything with them and it's gonna suffer so our all of our focus needs
to be on the pro-mod I mean that's that's what we're there for and uh that's that's why the
now if we go out first round or don't make the cut everybody's gonna go see you should have
brought the car man you may be right yeah but we're not going to that's the chance that we're
gonna take right now so we we just want to do well with blue and and show that we belong there
no not just some B team part timers that's right or whatever so but what else winter
series is going to be cool guys that's that's about all we can say about it and uh we're
not going to beat you to death on winter series because that's probably what I mean that's going
to be all of what we're doing next week so uh our youtube will be about it and you know I'm sure
we'll talk about it in the next podcast that we went number one and won the race and yeah
yeah what is man what I can't even imagine can't even imagine yeah look I've called it out before
man I've said you take us and you put us in any other organization and we're gonna fair out okay
and then boom Kai won the first one yep you know and look at everybody Robin wins a lot and it's
been number one qualifier Callie has been killing it she has been you know like finally won her first
pro mod race this year yeah pretty cool so you know we won our first pro mod race this year you know
so you know now I mean you know for being some fake tv racers I feel like the people from the
Street Outwells franchise have fared out fairly well in pro mod racing who else is gonna be there
I mean Scott will be there Scott cuts good lights I mean Bowman oh yeah Bowman Bowman went to the
semifinals last year the World Series of Pro Mod with the turbo car yep just throw that and then I
was sending it to finish line when he went by against Stevie and I feel like his nose is out of
head but it was this high above the finish line but Nate's gonna be there with his new car yep okay
so there's you Kai Bowman Nate uh Callie Robin Scott Scott oh yeah he's got his pro mod too I mean
Jimmy yeah yeah yeah me so there's eight man let's not forget somebody we're going to we don't
mean anything by it sorry that whatever yeah so I mean it's gonna be a good time guys it's
it's the who's who yeah no I mean that's that's exactly what it is like if you got the invite to
this deal it means you're considered one of the who's who of pro mod racing
I mean that's a it's it's pretty cool just to get the invite yeah we got that last year
this year we want to this year we want to yeah we want to do well so that's basically what all
of our focus is on right now yeah but as far as that goes uh I don't know it's gonna be amazing
and but it's gonna be tight like we're gonna it's gonna be a long week guys and
we're gonna test a little bit we're gonna race a little bit and then we move right on to SEMA
PRI PRI so we're heading straight from we're gonna load the car in it and not the stacker
and we're gonna leave the rig down in Florida and then we're gonna put blue in a smaller trailer
and we're gonna head straight to Indy where it's gonna be snowing oh god I hate snow and then
we gotta put blue in race star in the race star booth race star wheels or race star industries I
can't remember exactly what they're called but the wheels that are on blue race star yeah it's
gonna be in their booth alongside I think Keith Haney's new from oh no no no uh they're gonna
have a small tire car in there with I don't know if I'm supposed to say or not but it's one of their
new wheels that are coming out with first small tires it's a 69 Camaro I think it's white like
ooh yeah well it's uh that and the the engine will be in pro charger oh yeah the the engine for
the white car so so this is one of the first years in a long time that one of the novus hasn't been
at PRI but like you said the heart of the white car will be in the pro charger boot yeah it ripped
out this week so that's pretty cool pretty cool yeah so that being said there's not uh
nothing else after that we're gonna leave the rig down there until the next pro mod race
so we will have blue here with us we'll be able to go over everything uh make sure everything's
good to go and win our second race of the winter series I want to win so bad yeah like I know
everyone wants to but I want to no there's there's levels to that man and I explain this to Keith
one time and I don't I'm not a hundred percent sure that he understood because you gotta you
gotta be in our heads to understand how bad we want to win guys I told Keith one time that he
didn't understand that I wanted to win worse than anybody in the parking lot and he goes yeah man
everybody here wants to win so now I don't think you understand yeah like my stomach is in knots
I'm upset I'm worried I'm all that all at once yeah like because I I want to win I want to go
rounds and we'll do whatever it takes to win I mean I had to shut off but yeah like winning like
that's whenever we're at races even when we're not at races like I I think about what we can do
to better our program to put us in a better position to to win more races like I just want
to win like I don't want to just go out there and race I don't want to just go out there and
be able to post pictures of me standing on the starting line or any of that like I want to win
I don't like I just want to win it's it's it's very tough to for that to translate over to people
because it's hard to put into words like you can say I want to win and people like oh yeah I want
because everybody wants to win yeah we get it you know everybody wants to win okay you know
but you get out of the car and you're smiling and you're happy you know after you just lost
yeah that's not in my opinion that's not the we want to win yeah I'm anything but smiling
no doesn't come look man we act like babies we get we throw things and we punch stuff and I am a
terrible loser I have been forever dude back it's part of it I'm just not a good loser like it's
probably not one of my best qualities I am not a good loser which is crazy because we did it for
so long yeah it sucked yeah I did yeah I did bad until we said man I don't want to lose anymore
yeah yeah I like winning like better than losing yeah yeah um I don't know I feel like there's
probably more stuff we could talk about here there's lots of things but I see something on the board
and I don't know exactly what it is I just know that it's there what the Kayla do what is the
Kayla let's talk about this let's talk about this so like is it something that we can talk about
it's not like yeah hey me and Kayla are cool yeah we're cool we're like this now like there's been
times that we haven't been though and I do not like that yeah so there's I used to have to gauge
like what Kayla are we getting today you know so I'd be on the driver's meeting sometime I'd be like
it's uh you know depending on how she would look at me and you know you try not to look at her and
are we cool or no you know like and uh because I never want Kayla to not be on my side
she'd make it where it's not she makes it to where it's not fun just like Boosted can
on the internet that's because Boosted's so damn intelligent he is he is we used to fight we used
to fight with with Boosted on on the on the internet Boosted's had us ready to load up and head to
Dallas many a time very very very upset because it's just so smart and I promise you he wasn't
upset at all no whatever he was typing that stuff on the internet he was probably smiling about it
and he just knows I was mad you know but anyways we've all been in a good place for a long time
and with that you know with that uh she did just this little trend deal that I've seen people
do it before her and it's funny every time and it's the it's the the meme that says
people say you wouldn't have nothing if you wasn't for your husband yeah no shit I didn't
marry a loser you know it's that that's what she said yeah yeah yeah it's not her saying it though
she was uh oh like lip-syncing it okay she was saying it it was the other person saying it but
she was lip-syncing it and she's standing by the I think Boosted's new Corvette so and it was funny
man like also that's something Kayla would say yes yes funny as hell and I've seen the other
people do it too you know and man the people just were mad about it in the comments why I don't know
man I don't I don't like what were they mad at I I read it and I was like I don't even know what
you can look it up right one dude was upset saying that he contributes more than her husband
but just doesn't reap the benefits because he doesn't get paid as much why not yeah exactly
that's kind of what Kayla got on there and said but probably not so many words yeah yeah no yeah
but anyways that's not necessarily the point of it but anytime Kayla makes something post that's
controversy or something like that people talk about you know her physical shape okay which
oh like she looks like she could beat the brakes off of them well yeah you know she probably could
and and then you get the people who are like too manly for me and then you look at them dudes
yeah well let me tell you something first off you couldn't score her no matter what
what basically you're not her type either bro yeah yeah but they act like you know how it is like
you shoot somebody down before they get a chance to shoot you down because you know that they would
never take you anyways it's like that and and it's like you see all these people going
too manly for me she does nothing for me and I'm like clearly you can let's just bring up
you got Kayla here and you got Aaron here two totally totally different bodies okay both beautiful
okay I just don't what makes the dudes out there upset because a girl has muscle
I understand it's it's possibly not for everybody you know what I mean I mean but
she cares about herself she takes care of herself she's fit she trains every day dude that's a
full-time job yeah from what I can see you know because I follow her you know and I see the
crossfit stuff that she does you know it looks uh yes it's very exhausting very exhausting
you know what I mean but that's she probably realizes that's not for everybody
and she honestly she probably doesn't care I think it's cool yeah you know like I would
if Aaron ever got in the gym and got huge and got big muscles and stuff I would have zero problems
yeah zero you know but just reading the comments in there it is it's pretty amazing so I found it
it's got 54,000 reacts that's what I'm saying almost a thousand comments and 3500 shares so it
did everything that she wanted it to do yeah regardless of the answer saying it went viral and
you know maybe can we listen to it can we listen to it yeah
how cool is that though I mean that could very well be Kayla saying that 100%
she did that and I understand that it's a trend and a lot of people do that yeah
but that's her no it fits her that fits her that's awesome yeah you know and I think that that was
cool and and I have seen other people do it and I laugh just as hard at the other people but it's
even funnier coming from her who she would have the same attitude saying 100% yeah 100% yeah so
which you know how it is it's kind of borderline Kayla we love you don't be mad at it yeah no no
offense right now we didn't say anything okay I would never say anything to offend her X's and O's
anymore because I had before no you guys stand around and offend everyone else now together yes
yes me and Kayla you can't be together I cannot I cannot be on the starting line with Kayla
because she'll look at me and I'll go stop stop hey and it doesn't matter I probably already know
what she's thinking yeah she is the female version of me yes no she is because there's zero filter
from the brain to the mouth absolutely on either one of y'all absolutely yeah no I've said that
before she is she's the female version of me yeah or or sorry Kayla I'm the male version of her
she would probably prefer you say it like that yeah so but it's funny regardless because it fit her
and then the the people that are just upset in there because she works out I'm gonna have to
go read some of the comments I can imagine what they are because you know people suck well and then
it's also funny because she will see the people that say things oh she replied to oh yeah she'll
reply to him and it's funny that's my girl right there it's even better yeah because she doesn't
care what she says to people no no she'll probably she still has no filter I feel like I've
slowly got a filter over the years a little bit
like I'm not as reckless you don't just blurt it out used to not anymore yeah you don't just
blurt it out before yeah you would just I still have my thoughts but these days it's like I just
do I really care enough to say it yeah maybe not you know maybe not
yeah yeah talking about me when I was like 10 I was talking about you
a lot oh you still got that turtle I take care of that turtle for oh yeah I remember that turtle I
remember the turtle yeah was his name Earl Mr. Turtle Mr. Turtle oh that's right from my name is
Earl yeah that was one of our favorite shows ever it was a good one can't have any good good classics
like that anymore oh I should get canceled for sure Earl no yeah so um also this year we will
probably do some burnout stuff like the burnout stuff is cool you're talking about the like like
the skids like the Australian style like the Australian style skids you know obviously Aiden's
getting pretty good at it he is he is um so at this point he's getting so good at it that I want my
truck back well he got so good at it that he tried to burn your truck down a few times couple times
yes and now my truck is a piece of shit it is not in great shape
yes it needs to be gone over and fixed up and so we are going to build him his own
you know this winter when we have all this time yeah in our in our off time in our off time
which is uh happening how do we get fired and don't have any time still
because we're trying to hustle to make money
but yeah so you have a lot of money and you want to sponsor us you know and you enjoy
the us sitting around and talking and being able to race and do things like that let us know so so
here's the deal a lot of money is very very cool but even if you don't have a ton of money and you
have a business that you believe in just holler at us we can help you we can help you produce
results so yeah and it's not like we're just some losers sitting here going hey give us money
yeah there's there's stuff in it for y'all too you know like coming to the racetracks and seeing
your logo or whatever on the side of the car you know big dick your buddies man like rich people
that need tax write-offs anyways man what else do you got to do like yeah you got enough money
that you can buy whatever but your buddies have that enough money that they could buy the same
thing that you have yeah so and and and honestly it goes beyond that like seeing your logo on the
car is cool uh you know that's going to get hundreds of thousands to millions of people to see your
logo but us you know apart from that our social media presence our youtube presence our ability
to put it out there to drive people to your company like it's uh we're really good at it we have a
full marketing deck that's available to you that we'd be glad to send to you so just holler at us
if that's something that you're interested in and let's uh let's figure it out for the podcast for
youtube for the race car let's talk yep so i mean
that's how every professional race car driver does it has to obviously that's not how they do it
they're not on a podcast begging people for money maybe we're not professional yet because we haven't
figured out how to get the money i think once you figure out how to get the money it gets easier
kind of like like like everything else once you figure out how to win yeah winning gets a little
easier maybe so i don't know i don't know i i feel like i don't like to beg people for me to go out
and race and make a living you know what i mean but that's how all professional drivers do it well
yeah i mean they find sponsorships yeah i mean let's take john force for example
yeah he's got a lot of money now have you ever read about how he started out yes dude it's a like
separate yourself from how he you know that he feels about you yeah and and go and and watch
his beginnings man and it's pretty cool oh yeah oh yeah oh he made it you know it's cool and now
and i'm sure that there's a lot of other ones that have the same oh close to the same story
absolutely so it's
she's like 36 or 37 look she doesn't need the money yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah he has an empire well
and her husband is like a f1 racer or something like that yeah so she should retire and just follow
him around then yeah you know or if he was smart he'd retire and follow her around you know he
whatever if he was smart he'd just go ahead and leave that thing in there so he didn't have to
work either that's right he gets some of that forced empire money yeah
anyways i think uh yeah we're gonna call that for the first time i think so we're gonna we're
gonna work into this deal guys uh it's been a while since we've sit down and just bullshit about
things it's it's different when we're out in the shop and and working and and and back and forth
it's it's a little different kind of sitting here you know so yep it'll it'll get better
it'll get better and it will get worse for other people because we're we're not gonna hold anything
back guys if we have opinions about things we're gonna say it if we think a certain way about
something and it gets brought to our attention we're gonna talk about it so yeah i mean and also
like let us know what you think what what do you want to hear on this podcast you want to you
want to hear you want to hear more racing stories you want to hear more shop stories you want to
hear us talk current events like you know what do we i mean i don't i don't think we're gonna get
political i don't want to get i will i will never get political um not interested in it you believe
what you believe whatever has no effect on me they're all puppets anyways oh yeah no i think we
will definitely have some gas guys like that's that's that's the fun part are we set up getting
interview people are we set up where people can call in yet like like can we like get people to
FaceTimers if they can't be here you like how you do um west of stuff when he calls you in sometimes
yeah yeah just like a uh google meet
oh yeah i just downloaded that for the day did you yeah for our uh
sunglass people oh yeah yeah yeah even get you some even glasses yeah the even glasses are
really cool guys and uh we may be having something of our own come out pretty soon yes more on uh
more on more on that uh very soon but yes look for an announcement on that yep so
all right guys um yeah we'll see how this one does and we're gonna continue to do it from there
like we said earlier we don't care if you like it love it hate it uh we're gonna shove it down
y'all's throat until you like it that's right that's right but we know y'all like it so take care
till next time um we're gonna go race time to go racing
