Then we shift gears and talk about getting back on the golf course for the first time in a year, especially with Shawn finally being able to play again after his stem cell treatment.Somehow the conversation ends up with Shawn admitting his love for fantasy movies and TV shows — Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and all things wizards, dragons, and epic storylines — while Phantom tries to process how that fits into race car life.As always, it’s unscripted, unfiltered, and full of random tangents, shop talk, and opinions nobody asked for.🎧 Available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music📺 Full video available on YouTubeWelcome back to Moron Nation.\n"},"annotations":[{"startTime":362.2,"endTime":391.9,"type":"concept","title":"drag racing","url":"/glossary/drag-racing","quote":"...head down to Bradenton for the second race of the drag illustrated winter series for the U.S. Street Nights presented by Eminem transmissions...","canonicalId":"concept:drag-racing","priority":0.5,"confidence":0.9,"source":"hybrid-fuzzy+gpt-4o-mini","data":{"explanation":"Drag racing is a type of motor racing where vehicles compete to be the first to cross a finish line, usually over a straight quarter-mile track.
