A highlight from MetaMask Partners with the World's BIGGEST Payment Firm!
"Welcome to The Morning Show, everybody. It is 1130 a .m. and it's September 6th. I'm here with AJ and the Druth. Hey, everybody. We have a great show lined up, everybody. We're going to talk some XRP and Asia. We're talking about Bitcoin millionaires, Bitcoin billionaires. We got some Tether news as well and also BlackRock doing some things and Coinbase taking action. And also, do you want to own Justin Bieber royalties as an NFT? We're going to talk about that as kind of a fun story right there. And then also, we might point out richest the person in every American state. We have the richest person in all 50 states. We're not going to go through all of them, but a little bit of fun with that. It's a pretty cool graphic too. How are we all doing today? Make sure you hit that like button, everybody. I think it's just time for us to just get right into the show. Make sure you're subbed to our channel here. Guys, make sure you follow me on XDZ underscore BTC. We're going to have the X minute at the end of the show. It's going to be a blast. You're going to definitely want to see what I've been tweeting and liking here, everybody. But let's just look at the markets. We've actually reduced the amount of coins by four. How do you lose your coin status on CoinGecko, AJ? You really got to mess up, I guess. I don't know. I don't know. Bear market, man. Bear market things, everybody. There's 848 exchanges. I need to start looking at that number as well. We are down, but you know what? Let me hit that refresh button. Sometimes DZ can bring us into the positive. It didn't work this time. $1 .07 trillion. 24 -hour volume is way down, though. We're not coming in at 29 billion. We're close to 50 just yesterday. Gas is only 33 gwei. Bitcoin dominance coming in at 46 .3. Feeling pretty good about my bet with Tim. Tim thinks it's going to go to 60%. It would be 62%, I think, or maybe 58 % on CoinGecko. We're going by the trading view metric. Feeling good about it, though, everybody. Now, let's look at the prices. We have Bitcoin. Bitcoin's down 0 .4%, everybody. We have Ethereum down 0 .7%. The markets, looks like the markets are really only down 0 .3%, 0 .2%. I wonder if that means there's a Tether print somewhere. XRP down 1%. We have Lido Stake Ether down right under 1%. Solana, losing a lot of those gains, folks. It is down 4 .5%. Didn't hold $20. AJ, how do you feel about Solana? I mean, can't seem to get past $20 and hold it. Yeah, I mean, it's definitely a psychological number, no question about that. I mean, the Visa news, it was big. I'm surprised people didn't pile in more, but it kind of just goes to show that the macro is more scary right now, especially everything that I've been seeing on the charts. September is never a good look. In general, the past six Septembers in a row have been bearish. Even in the bull run, still a bearish month. I just think the odds are stacked against Solana, despite the bullish news. And I think the odds are stacked for Chainlink, everybody. We have Chainlink up a little bit, up .4 1 % on this red day. XLM down 4 .5%. Chainlink, we're going to talk about some Chainlink as well. All right, let's look at the top gainers of the day. I heard if you hit the like button, you quadruple your chances that this will match your portfolio. So I'm gonna give you two seconds to go ahead and do it. One, two, all right, you clicked it. All right, now we have Casper. I didn't buy my Casper, AJ. Why didn't you tell me to buy Casper? It's my fault. You know why? I did. I did. And I didn't text you on purpose. I knew it. So why do you want to take food from my future children's mouths? It's not like that. Why do you want my dogs to starve? Do you hate dogs? No, I love dogs. I have a dog. I have a dog, Indy. All right, we have Crypto Savvy with the Super Chat. Still thinking we're going below 10k. I'm still thinking we're not Crypto Savvy. Hey, if we go below 10k, I'll give you a respectful Japanese bow. I won't go like full 90 -degree right angle, like submissive janitor looking at the CEO, but I'll give you a respectable bow there. Savvy says below 10k. AJ, do we go below 10k? Wait, below 10k on what? Bitcoin. On Bitcoin. Oh, God, no. I thought you were talking about something else. No way. No way. Santana, no need to delete that, Santana. There's no need to delete that. All right, we have Casper .2%. up 13 Again, I feel like I missed the boat. I bought 5 Chainlink instead like an idiot. Maybe I'll feel smart about it in the future, but I feel dumb today because I didn't buy Casper. We have Synthetix Network. It is up 5%. We have ThorChain up 3 .4%. Radix is always in that top 5 of losers and gainers here. Iota up 2%. And then, hey, you know, we do have Chainlink coming in at number 7 or number 8 there. All right, now let's hit the top losers. Okay, these are coins going down, going down the most. And it looks like Solana, followed by Stellar, then followed by RollBitCoin. So if you look at the weekly though, down 7%, down 2 .5%. So Stellar was in the green for the week until yesterday or until today, and then RollBit is down almost 20 % for the week there. We have eGold, also known as MultiverseX, down 3 .3%. Stacks, Stacks and Radix, always like hanging out in these top 5 areas. I don't know why. Then we have Casper, XDC. And after that, about 2 .5%. Nothing super, super crazy. Although we do have Gala. I was about to say, I'm surprised Gala is not down way more considering what happened there. I see a lot of people tweeting about the 1 .5%. So maybe there's something just a little bit psychological about the 1 .5 % there or 1 .5 cents there. So a lot of people are saying, hey, you know, it's beaten down so much. I'm going to buy more. So I think just people coming in and feeling good about that coin. Like we said, they probably just need one good, one good game. And then I expect a lot of positive price action. Nothing about the tokenomics, just a lot of positive price action. I also remember yesterday we looked at the Gala chart. It's like right at that double bottom. It didn't fall through that floor, which is good for like a reversal idea. But at the same time, it got completely wrecked from where it was even earlier this year. I remember Gala was one of the really big movers in the beginning of the year. Lost all of that momentum, but at least it didn't fall through and put in a lower low, double bottom. Hey, we have Armie Piper in the chat. I followed you today. Make sure you follow Armie Piper, everyone. I'm going to go work out and listen in. Cheers, chat. You take it easy. Armie Piper, hey, he's never, he's about the crypto gains, but he's about the real life gains too. Make sure you work your core, Armie Piper. Don't just go for the fluff muscles, talking to you, the people that curl in the squat rack. All right, you ready to talk about the main story here, MetaMask? Sure. Do you use MetaMask? Of course you use MetaMask. Of course I use MetaMask. So MetaMask is now allowing crypto cash out to PayPal and banks, but the fees could be high, folks. All right, there's a little bit of an asterisk here. They are the biggest self -custodial hot wallet. They have over 22 million users and they've added the option for users to convert cryptocurrencies into fiat like USD. As a growing list of Web3 players strive to make digital assets usable in the real world, the cash out feature initially supports the conversion of only ETH and two types of fiat depends on one location, but from there, MoonPay will take over and send the ETH to a user's designated bank account after calculating the exchange rate. Within minutes, the funds will show up in your bank. Users can also withdraw to PayPal, which is already a partner of MetaMask here. Let's see how the costs are divvied up according to MetaMask demo using MoonMask. The user chooses to withdraw 0 .5 % Ether. That's going to be roughly 80 bucks. It looks like this much is going to get gassed and then this much gets sold. So it looks like they're peeling off almost 20 % right there. Wait a minute. No, no, no. They're coming in and saying it's 8%. That's the, oh, that means there's an additional transaction cost. Okay. So we're not counting the gas fee in that total right there. Yeah, 0 .5. Okay. 0 .604.

People measure age in all kinds of ways. Most of us start with the number of years, but as I've started to discover on this season of the podcast, that doesn't really tell the whole story. I guess there's no denying that our bodies do go through some changes, but aging is not linear.

Welcome to the MMQB podcast. I am Matt Verteram, joined by Gilberto Manzano here. It is Thursday, August 24th, and that means we only have one week of preseason football up. We're all thankful for that. Gil, have you finished up your training camp tour? Are you done now, or you still got a few more you gotta hit? Yeah, no, I'm done, and when you said the date, Matt, I actually forgot what date it is today, so that tells me we're two weeks away from the real football season, so I am done with training camp. I don't know about you, Matt, but after like the fifth or sixth stop, I was over it. I saw enough, you know, kind of somewhat real football. I did check out a couple scrimmages, which felt like a little bit of real football, but before that I was like, I'm over the traveling. Let's just get to the Chiefs and the Lions for that. There's a night opener. Yeah, man, I went to eight camps. I saw nine teams because the Lions and the Giants had joined practice when I was up in Allen Park. The day that I woke up in Kansas City, I actually didn't know what city I was in when I woke up. I had like a two -second, I don't know if panic's the same. So, I'm done. I finished on Tuesday. I went up to Green Bay for the last one, which was kind of more of an add -on at the end. I had gone up there for OTAs to do a feature on Jordan Love, and I wanted to go back up there and visit with Matt Lafleur, and it was worth the six -hour round trip. It was a long, long bit of traveling one day, but we made it happen. How many camps did you get to over the course of the summer? I got to, I want to say eight, and I had like you with the extra one with the Saints. The Saints came to Southern California for joint scrimmage with the Chargers, so technically nine teams, but the way I think I did it was, I think it was five states. I drove to Las Vegas and Arizona, and then I flew to San Jose, Seattle, and Denver, and going from Seattle to Denver, that's the one I felt. But yeah, man, I primarily got the West Coast teams. I got, you know, eight teams. The ones that were easy was the ones in my backyard in LA, the Cowboys, the Chargers, and the Rams, but you know, after the, I got on the plane. You know, at one point I started thinking, I don't know how you did it, Matt, because you were driving everything. Me driving to Las Vegas and Arizona, that was too much. I couldn't do any more car rides after that. Yeah, I didn't fly for any of them. I'm based outside of Chicago. You're based in Los Angeles, so you, your teams are more sprawling for you. I mean, you're not driving to Seattle from LA. For me, the longest drive I had was Kansas City, which was like six and a half hours each way. So I did, I did make that happen. But luckily, like Chicago to Indy's not bad. Indy to Cincinnati's a couple hours. You know, it wasn't, wasn't too bad. Look, we're going to get into Trey Lance. We're going to get into, there was an injury at Broncos camp earlier today before us recording with Jerry Jeudy, with what appears to be a hamstring injury. We'll talk about that a little bit. But I, I want to ask you, so the eight teams you saw, or the eight practices you was the most impressive? And was there a team that stood out to you, either good or bad, that you were kind of surprised by? Yeah, it's a tough question, man, because I was thinking that because I got, I got a good balance of really bad teams from Arizona. I saw our guy, Connor Orr, had him at one and 16 for the, for his win -loss record, a story that came out today. So they, they, they looked like they're going to be really bad. And it was tough for me to figure out who's who on that roster. So I got that. And then I got all the really good teams, like the 49ers, you know, I'm high on the Seahawks, you know, that from our doing our, our midsummer prediction, by the way, that was tough. We had to pick our Super Bowl teams in what, like April or May we're going to do it again. And I'm so happy about that, but the Seahawks look good. I like the Cowboys a lot, but every year it's the same thing. Like they get far and they don't get past the second round. So I can't commit to them. Same thing with the Chargers. They just don't go far. Like they're really hyped to have a lot of good players. So I keep going back to the 49ers because they've shown to me to at least get to the Super Bowl, or at least make it to the NFC title game. And then Brock Purdie being healthy. That to me was all I needed to see to say, you know what? I like the Seahawks, but I'm going to leave that bandwagon and go to the 49ers. Do you believe in Purdie? I mean, look, obviously you believe in him enough that you're, you're, you're high in the Niners, but you know, they'll roll with Purdie, which we knew they would, if he was healthy. Lance is the third string guy. And I know you wrote a piece on trail, Lance, we can get to him in a little bit here. The roster's stacked. I don't think anybody questions that. I mean, they have all pros literally in almost every single meeting room. They, they, they have guys everywhere. They have a very good head coach in Kyle Shanahan, but they've been a team that they haven't found their quarterback or at least they haven't proven to have found their quarterback yet. They went to Jimmy Garoppolo. Garoppolo, of course, now with the Raiders, who you saw as well during your tour.

"AP's sports and Mike Reeves, it was a frantic finish at the Indianapolis 500, our Tom McKay reports. Josef Newgarden used a one lap shootout to grab the lead from 2022 champ Marcus Ericsson to win the Indy 500. You know, I wasn't looking to take anyone else out of the race, but I was going to put my car on the line to win. And I was either going to win the race or I was going to end up in the wall. Newgarden driving for team owner Roger Penske survived a chaotic final 40 miles, which saw the race stop three times for Rex. Major League Baseball the rays win a wild one over the Dodgers in Tampa Bay, correspondent Steve Carney provides the details. The Tampa Bay Rays used a 7th inning RBI ground out by wander Franco to break a ten ten tie and defeat the Los Angeles Dodgers 11 to ten. Both starters got hit around as Gavin stone allowed 7 runs in two innings of work, while Josh Fleming allowed ten runs in 6 innings, including 5 home runs, Tampa Bay finishes at ten game home stands 7 and three, while the Dodgers complete their longest road trip of 2023 with a four and 6 Mark. The Yankees used a 7 run third inning to defeat the Padres ten to 7, Aaron judge and Harrison Bader hit home runs to support winning pitcher Garrett Cole, who is now 6 and zero. This was a good team win today for sure. I mean, being able to kind of subdue them through the middle innings and keep the momentum. I thought played in our favor, but it's just such a luxury to have the offense. Other winners on the diamond were the guardians Orioles tigers royals, Blue Jays, brewers, reds, rockies, Astros, Marlins, Diamondbacks, Mariners, and braves on the PGA Tour emiliano grillo wins the Charles Schwab challenge in a playoff against Adam chic.

"Even though we were carting at the national level, it was more or less a hobby that me and my dad would go do on every weekend and got better and better at it. But it was never really the greatest Carter. And then I got into a racing school and got into a car when I was 12 and that's kind of where the light bulb switched in my head. I think just things in a car made more sense to me rather than a cart because there are fundamentally just so different on driving style and just things clicked in my head and 2012 did three years of it, almost won the championship the last year, finished second. That was when we were running our own team for it. So we were trying to compete with Cape Motorsports, who was like the gods of the Van Diemen F 2000 era. They won like, I think, eight of the last 10 championships with that car. Amazing. And we gave them a run for their money and that was when the new lights car was coming out. And that was when there was still the old star Mazda car, which it was only like six tenths quicker than the USF 2000 car. So it was like, why would we go jump up to six tenths quicker when there's a new lights car coming out? It kind of resets it for everybody. And everybody's got to learn a new car. So why not make it there? And we skipped that and went into lights. Did really well. Ran the freedom here. Our team finished one, two, three, four and won one at Ohio, did a number of podiums. We really podium mostly on the ovals, but had a really strong year and then came back again for the next year and engine issues, all kinds of mechanicals, found ourselves out of the championship and got approached by Dale Coyne to do three races and was like, okay, let's go do that. Yeah, good choice. And so my first races were in 2016. I was 19. So I was at the time, I was the youngest since Marco. Right, right. And then now it's just all 19. Starting to trend, bro. Yeah, it did kick down the door for sure. But I mean, we were really strong in those races and tried to get a full -time 2017 ride and just didn't happen. And it's just been an in -out and kind of driving everything. I've done some NASCAR stuff. I've done some stuff and then Indy cars. It's kind of been through everything. All right. Look for car number 50, RC Enerson on race day. Best of luck to you. Thanks a lot. Devlin DeFrancisco is our guest from our friends in Canada, Toronto. Good to see you, sir. How you feeling? Thanks for having me. Great to be here. Well, you're looking great. We are doing an informal survey. It seems more drivers have blue eyes. Yes. The track, they keep track of everything here. That's the one thing I've never seen before. I can't wait to see your research project on this. I mean, am I correct in saying everybody? Absolutely. Two of these guys have blue eyes today. I think mine are bluish green. They do change. Yeah, yeah. They change. I can see they're not hybrid. Hybrid, yeah. That's true. For the sake of my argument, let's just go with how correct I am. That's the way I like to do this. That's right. Yes, always right. Good seeing you. Great to have you here. Tell us about your mindset for the 107th running of the Indianapolis 500. We're excited. We're pumped. Obviously, qualifying didn't maybe go as we hoped, but we've got strong race cars. We seem to be quite good in traffic. We seem to be able to hit good fuel mileage. It's all to play for next week. A lot of things can happen. It's 500 miles, 200 laps. So as long as you're there at the end fighting, anything can happen. And it looks like great weather right now. The forecast there is like a 0 % chance of rain, which that takes a lot of anxiety away. At least you know that it's coming around the corner. They keep you busy these few days before the race? Do they have a lot to do? For sure. We visited the porch party yesterday, the Indianapolis Porch Party winners, which is amazing seeing some of the decor that they were doing out front of their houses and various media commitments that we've had to do. All enjoyable, all part of the month of May and just love to soak in every bit of it. How many have you done now? How many 500s? This is my second one. Is it a little easier now than not kind of understanding going through it one time or is it still kind of nerve -racking? Yes and no. For sure the goalposts move, right? There are different things each year you come looking for different things and different problems to attack on the car. But just also besides the race, the actual pomp and circumstance of it all, is that overwhelming at times? Do you like that part or is that like, oh my gosh, we have to do another thing? Because there's a lot. You guys all month long, you guys are going, right? I enjoy it all. I enjoy all of it. That's great. I feel blessed to be here. I feel very grateful to be here and take part, not only to be one of these competing, being able to fight and to fight forward and maybe fight for a win. But you know, to have such a great team behind me, I just feel very grateful. Growing up, who was your favorite Canadian racer? There have been a few, right? Yeah, there have been a few. One of them got robbed of a win here. That's right. We talked about that, old Townsend. You know, Paul Tracy has always been someone I... Yeah, he got screwed. I met him when I was very young when I was... He got screwed. I saw the film. Yeah. I met him when I was quite young, you know, Jack Villeneuve, you know. Oh sure, of course. He on went and did in Formula One. There are various guys to look up to as I was growing up. See, I feel like I could play Paul Tracy now. Yeah, like for sure. We're talking about... One of the things we've been asking is, as an actor, I'm always interested in like, okay, who do you think would play you in the movie about your life? Have you thought about that before? No, never. I've been asked before. I'd like to see Tom Cruise. Yeah, sure. It seems to be a popular answer. I mean, absolutely. I'd like to see Tom Cruise. Yeah, that's it. You can. You get to say it. I hope I look like that at 60. Yeah, absolutely. I was thinking Canadian John Candy's out. Well, a little too big. Ryan Reynolds, maybe? Ryan Reynolds? Yeah, he's a Canadian. Yeah, yeah. Lastly, do you have any particular rituals you go through the morning of or the night before? Do you not eat? Do you eat a little tiny bit? Do you drink coffee? What do you do? Tim Hortons? Do you just binge Timbits? Come on, what's your favorite Tim Hortons? This is important. The Timbits? No, what's your favorite flavor of the donuts, Tim Hortons? Boston cream. Boston cream. Good answer. Let's go. That's the correct answer, ladies and gentlemen. There is only one right answer. There is only one right answer. We wouldn't have judged you by your answer. We asked the tough questions here in the bottom, Tom Cruise. Yep. What do you think? I think that if you can get yourself a Boston cream before you race on Sunday, you're going to win. That might be a little heavy. I can't do that. That's how I would do it. We're actually driving to, we're driving to Muskoka after the race, so we might do a pit stop on the way there. There you go. All right. Depending on how we do on Sunday. That'd be the victory, Boston cream. Okay. Excellent. Good stuff. Devlin, thank you so much for your time. Thank you. Thanks for having me. Have a great race. You love Lala Kent on Vanderpump Rules. Now get to know her on Give Them Lala. With her assistant, Jess. What you did not see is when Raquel arrives and she wants to talk to me, I made her sit in a corner. Explain. Sit in a corner booth all by herself in the dark. Waiting for to talk to you. Waiting for me to finish dancing to 50 Cent. It's my birthday. Sit in a corner. Give Them Lala wherever you listen.

"Number of tattoos on the drivers. Are you the no tattoos school? No tattoos on me. This is really interesting. Doesn't fit the demographic really. I feel like everyone under 30 is covered. We've got a bunch of blue -eyed guys with no tattoos. I'm not sure what to make of that. You did great. What's your strategy? Do you have any particular things you're thinking about? Is it too early to really... Oh, wow. Yeah, I mean we're starting in a really good spot. P11, row four. You were the highest rookie. We set a couple of records on qualifying a day which very, was very special. Fastest rookie ever, right? Fastest rookie ever for one lap average and the second fastest after ever for four lap average. When you look at the guys I'm starting around, I got Mark Saracson on one side, Will Power on the other. So it's just very comforting to know I have a lot of experience around me and that I have a really good car. It's far better than starting in the back with a car that's not great. So yeah, really excited. Going into the month, I think from a fan perspective, outside perspective, it may have been maybe not as anticipated that both Voigt cars are gonna be in the Fast 12. Did you guys have intel or a distinct knowledge that it was tracking that direction prior to getting here? We knew at the beginning of the year that we were very good on super speedways based on our Texas performance and at Texas we weren't in our speedway cars. We didn't have all our bits that we do now just simply because we didn't have access to it as a team. So we really did everything we could to have the best equipment for this race. So as soon as we showed up with our 500 cars, which were prepped extremely well and the experience that some of the key players on the team have brought, it's just we knew we were fast when we had our first practice after the GMR Grand Prix. Are those prepped at the Indy shop or in the Texas shop? Right down here, yeah. Did you get to choose your helmet design? Oh yeah, that's completely me. What have you got? So I just announced it. I think it's two days ago. So it's my same fundamental design. The design is always the same. I just play with the colors. It's got the 500 official logo of this year everywhere on it, kind of small in all different directions and it's printed on this holographic vinyl. So it shines a lot and changes color in the sun. And the basic color of the helmet is white with the exposed carbon and then the visor is like this bright orange. So it's just very cool. Are you a, do you trade helmets? I haven't done any trades. I have every helmet I've ever used. I've never given any away. So we'll see, maybe in the future. Okay, well, if you win the Indy 500, will you get a tattoo? I don't think so, no. No, no, no, no. He was gonna hold it to you. The bore of water. Bring in the show on Monday and get one. Okay, well, it's been a great pleasure. Are you the only Dane in the field? Christian Longard's Danish as well. There we go. Yep. Do you speak Danish to him? Yeah, yeah, of course. Can you grow a better mustache? I think I could, yeah. It's not hard. I grow facial hair pretty quickly. His mustache is maybe not. Yeah, surely he's trimmed it. Now, what Northern Europeans have won this? Obviously, you've got Ari Leyendijk, Northern Europe. I mean, I would consider Kenny Brock's probably Northern. Yeah, Sweden. Europe. I mean, Marcus Erickson. I mean, a year ago. Yes, thank you. I mean, thank you. So it's time for the Danes to get in the winter circle? Yeah, that'd be amazing, yeah. I don't see why not. Is it live in Denmark? Can you watch it live, the race live? I'm sure you can. Yeah, I don't see why not. I'm sure they're able to find a way, yes. If you go back there, do people know that you're a race car driver? Yes. I mean, I haven't been back for three years now, but obviously the coverage is very strong. Being a part of Team Denmark as well. And I actually just had a Danish interview this morning and he also represents Autosport, which is a huge news source in Europe. So yeah, they definitely follow very closely. Okay, last question. We ask everybody, if they make the movie about you, who's going to play you in the movie? Oh, wow. I feel like, you know, my gut answer is Tom Cruise, just Top Gun, and it's relatable in a way with race car driving. So I'd say Tom Cruise. You could have just said some Danish soap opera star. And you would know. No idea. That's the guy you want to go with. Bent Larson. Wait a minute. No, he's a chess player. Well, thanks. It's been cool meeting you. Have a great race. Say hi to Mr. Floyd for us. Benjamin Peterson, ladies and gentlemen. Hey, hi. Welcome back. We've got Drew Powell here from Hollywood. This is Tom speaking. Sting, Ray, Rob is here with us. Do I even have to ask? I'm almost embarrassed. Everybody what's knows coming. Everybody. Let's do it. Do you want me to start? Just as handsome, but taller than the other Sting. Yeah, there you go. I mean, you know, how many are there? I know what your real name and I don't want to make you tell the story, but it's so cool. It is. Is Ray your middle name? No. So Sting Ray is actually my first name. First name. And then I have a middle name and then Rob is my last name. Amazing. Amazing. I love it. And they let you drive a Honda. Yeah. When I'm telling the story of my name, I usually have to cover the Honda logo up, but it worked out well. His middle name is Zaccord, so it's OK. Civic or something like that. Sting Ray, Civic, Rob. There we go. Welcome to Indianapolis. Thank you. 107th running of the Indianapolis 500 coming up. Your first one. A few days away. My first one. Oh my gosh. How does that feel? It's exciting. We had the most stressful weekend of my life last weekend trying to qualify for this event. Not really a position you want to be in as a driver, we made it and we're going racing this Sunday, so I'm excited about it. Let's go. So how does a guy get from the wilds of Idaho to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway? Well, we'll start with my name. My parents were big Corvette fans. And so if that... Here, hang on. Let me say that again. My parents are big Corvette fans. I cover up my Honda logo. We still love you, Honda. It's OK. Yep. And anyway, so that tells you part of the story. They passed their passion for cars along to me through my name. And so I grew up around drag races, autocross events, and my dad actually helped start the local Corvette club. And so I actually took my first steps at a Corvette club meeting. And so growing up in Idaho, there wasn't a lot of racing around there. And so when I was around four years old, I was watching a Nitro Circus video. You guys know what that is. Yeah. And Travis Pastrana, who's a multi -motor sport, talented driver. Good buddy of Connor Rood Daly, actually. Yeah. And he jumped a go -kart into a foam pit. And four -year -old singer saw that and was like, oh, that's what I want to do. And so I went to my mom and said, I want a go -kart and I want a foam pit. For my fifth birthday, I got the go -kart, but no foam pit. So here we are now, several years later. And by the time I was 14 years old, I'd been to Spain, Portugal, England, France, Belgium, Italy, all for the sake of driving go -karts. Won several championships there, got to race for a team internationally. And then I'd started to make the transition to cars when I was about 15 years old. And that was in the year 2016. So in 2016, I tried as much stuff as I could. I did dirt cars, did dirt modified, I did NASCAR, I did open wheel, I did sports cars. And I wanted to make sure that whatever I chose was the direction I wanted to take for the rest of my career. Because racing is unique in the sense that it's not a straight path to the top. It's more like shattered glass.

"It just depends what kind of world you're in. Well, on that same note, I've been asked this to all the drivers, who plays you in the movie? I think I would like that. What's his name? From American Sniper. Way cooler than me, so yeah, that'd be cool. Yeah, I can totally see that. Yeah, that's actually a pretty good call. He did a great job in that film. He did. Another possible Paul Newman, again, Mr. Millie. I can see the Newman, too. Your strategy to win this, baby? What's the plan? Strategy to win is basically, aside from leading, there's so many variables that you have to get right in this race to win it, to even have a shot at winning it. The field is as tight as it's ever been. Tight meaning there's so many good cars, and car -driver combinations, that it's going to be hard to separate yourself from them. You just have to methodically go about it and execute. I think if you do better on those things, on the pit laps, on the pit in, on the pit out, in the pit lane, the pit crew, the team has to execute, the driver has to execute, no errors, and then you're there at the fight. All you can ask for is to be at the fight at the end, the last six laps in a shootout. That's all you can ask for. Just like when I did it with Elio, we had no idea who was going to win that race, even 200 yards from the start -finish line. I didn't even know. You just have to put yourself in that position and get to the front. And this is number, how many 500s? 15. How many of those 15 do you think you had? It could have gone either way. You got the one against Elio, but there's got to be two or three others that you're right there. I knew in 2016 that I had the car to win as well. I had the same feeling I had in 2014, and 2016 in Townsend Bell hit me in pit lane and took the front wing off. That's why he's in the freaking booth. See what you get. 2017 had the same feeling as well, and the engine expired prematurely. Last question. Any unusual foods you don't eat or eat the night before the day of? Do you have coffee? Do you have to be careful? No, I'm good with that. Keep things simple and predictable, right? You're not going to go out to have fiery Mexican food the night before or something like that. You're going to keep in the straight and narrow on that. How about keep your game face, your head clear? Anything special that you do? No, I just need to have, on race day, there's so many people here, aside from the fans, friends, family. They all kind of sound like Charlie Brown, the Charlie Brown boys. And I just try and keep the blinders on. I need some time to myself just to get things together. And it's really tough on the grid. There's no other sport where somebody's going to go into battle. It's going to go into the biggest sporting event in their world, in their profession. And you're literally surrounded by people talking to you as you're getting in the car. Random people. Yeah, can I get a picture right before you get in the car? It is a very unique situation that way. So you really just have to keep your focus. Yeah, you should talk to my girl because not listening is my... Very good at that. He's really good at that. I am like an expert. I listen to the show every morning. Exactly. It's no idea. No idea. He doesn't even know I'm here right now. But here's one thing I have to say. One of the coolest things that I've, since I've become friends with some drivers, so I got a little access, right before the driver introductions, when you guys are in that room and it's you and just the close, the family, so kids, wife, whatever, girlfriends, that is such an interesting moment to me because you can feel the energy, right? Yeah, you can definitely feel it. Before you come out, but also that moment of like you're all in this together, even though you're competing against each other. It's such a unique spot. I can't think of another sport where they do that. No, it is a very unique spot. You're right. And you could feel the energy in there. You could feel tension as well. Like everybody's just balled up, ready to go, just, you know. And then prior to driver intros, you're just kind of waiting. And that's kind of the last moment that you have with your family prior to, you know, heading to the car and getting belted in. Yeah, you're right. That is a unique moment for sure. Yeah. Well, I guess one last of all the drivers, who is your closest friend of your fellow drivers? Do you have one that's a really good friend of yours? You know, I'm tight with quite a few, but you know, Hinchcliffe. Obviously, he's in the booth now. See what you get. See what you get. Stick them all up. Hunter's putting them all up there. Yeah, Marco, Marco Andrade Graham, Ray Hall and Alex. And who's the funniest? Hinch. He is. By far. Put him in the booth. Yeah, put him in the booth. And then from there, I mean, Will Power is a friend of mine, you know, but he's funny. I mean, he wouldn't think he, you know. Very dry. Very dry. Yeah. Connor Daley is pretty funny. Yeah. Yeah, Connor. He thinks he's funny. He's funny. Connor's funny. Do the Will Power had never heard the song Will Power? Didn't that classic, Lady Will Power? I don't know that song. I'm looking at you like you looked at me on Millie Bobby Brown. I have no idea what you're talking about. Is that a real song? Gary, maybe a dated reference. Gary Puckett and the Union Gap. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Pay the hell with you. Ryan Hunter Ray, ladies and gentlemen. Yes, sir. Go get him, kid. Thank you. Appreciate it. am. Here I We are here with Callum Eilat, who is in the number 77 for Hunko's Hollinger Racing. Little bit of a struggle this month, but you're in the field solidly. That has to feel good. Yeah, a little bit is an understatement, but it's been tough. It's been tough. You know, that's how it is sometimes. And unfortunately, we were the ones this year that had quite a big struggle and made a few changes to make it work, and we got in. But yeah, excited to be racing. Obviously, we've got a little bit more time with carb day coming up to fix any little issues we have. And yeah, should be a good race. Two hours to me doesn't seem like a lot of time to practice. Not enough. Not after the two weeks I've had. So I need way more, but for the others. I don't mean to offend you, but on the open test days, I was like, all right, I don't think he's gone out yet. No, that was kind of the way it was, all the way up until qualifying. That's the way it was for us. Limited testing. We're very far behind some others. But again, that's life sometimes. Yeah. Now, you were coming up the ranks. You finished second in Formula 2 in 2020 and did really well there with three wins and five pole positions. And then you switched over to IndyCar. What was your first experience in an oval and was it anything like you expected? First experience was in Texas. Lungard said that too. Why do they keep putting you guys in Texas as the first oval? I think that's the way it works because of the schedule, to be honest. It's a tough one, but also as a super speedway, it's I think a quite a good one to get started in. I don't know. Someone else makes the rules on that side. But yeah, I think my honest reaction coming in was, I don't know who came up with this idea, but they got some issues. I think when everything was under 100 miles an hour or whatever, it was all good. But now it's super fast. I mean, I've learned to appreciate how finely tuned everything is and how difficult the racing can be. And especially here at IMS, it's very, very tough. It's a very tough track, very tough racing and even tough to get the car in the window. So when people say it's a tough track to race, what exactly does that mean for those of us who have never been in the car? Anything from setting up the car, how you balance the car as a driver and the driving style you need to play around with it. And then the next thing is even the racing. The racing can be very close and very competitive or it can be very, very distant. And to be able to make a move, you have to be on

"Just because I'm from California doesn't mean I smoke the wacky tobacco. I actually asked Roger the other day during the Marlboro days, did he smoke? And he said he didn't smoke at all, which is incredible. That is pretty hard to believe. I thought being sponsored by Marlboro or whatever, you'd be like, well, what the hell? Hey, Rick, I know Rick Mears smoked. I can remember. Did he really? Yeah, I actually didn't ask him about that. Yeah, that's interesting. I remember seeing him with a cigarette. He's an amazing guy. That's a good guy to have in your corner. He's an awesome guy. How much has changed? It's so interesting that he can still help you even though it's got to be vastly different, but at the same time, there's so much stuff that's the same 25 years down the road or whatever it is. This track, it's so unique to any other we go to and the experience level here, whether you're Dixon or TK, you've immediately got an advantage on some guys, especially like myself, if you are a Dixon or a TK. I really lean on Rick for the track knowledge more so than anything, like the line and where I put the car and what to expect with this wind or whatever. It's just because he's done millions of laps around here and fast laps too. He's an incredible guy. He's cornered into our garage because every time he walks outside, he's just swarmed like a celebrity. He's a guru and I'm lucky to call a friend now. That's great. Okay, last question. Well, last question. What does it feel like to be a TV star? That 100 Days of Indie, especially that first episode, it was so great because you were so authentic, but was that weird? Are people noticing? Are you getting phone calls from friends and family and people? Not so much, but I had a lot more fans coming up to me and talking about the 33s. Oh, we're still doing Taco Tuesday, Taco Friday. Actually, we're going to do that tomorrow night. I'll be right over. So yeah, I think it's been awesome for the sport, man. Just to have that exposure and it will just get bigger and bigger, I think, and people will realize how cool this event is, not only for how cool the racing is, but I think the characters behind the sport as well, whether it's Marcel, whether it's Joseph, whether it's Simon Pagina, whether it's anyone that's in that rank, we have so many cool characters. Pato, for instance, is such an electric personality that we're very lucky to have in the sport and hopefully we can grow with. The whole with your wife and her family and all that, I just felt that was such a cool moment and to be a fly on the wall and be able to watch that. Everybody wants the behind the scenes and that's what they're asking for. And the way they packaged all that together was awesome. I felt like it came off really, really good for you and the family. I appreciate that. We've got a really cool group and my father -in -law drives my bus and mom -in -law is always there. It's for me, like I said in the show, it's awesome to have a family here, but not only here, but in New Zealand as well with my mom and dad. So yeah, it's awesome and having him drive the bus around has been really handy. That's cool. It saves my pocket a lot too. All right. Well, thank you. Thanks, guys. Appreciate it. Wait, do we say who plays you in a movie? No. We're asking everybody that. We need someone real good, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Leonardo DiCaprio. Yeah, there you go. Nice. I thought you might go with a New Zealand actor, but I think Taika Waititi could play you. Jason Momoa might be a little bit tough. I like it. Good choice. Cheers. Nice job, buddy. Thanks, guys. Cheers. Yeah, good stuff. My name is Chris Spangel here with Drew Powell for the Bob and Tom show. We're talking to Takuma Sato, who is car number 11, starting in the middle of row three. He is from Tokyo, Japan. Thank you for joining us this afternoon. Tell us about your month so far. Well, it's been an amazing journey, to be honest. As everybody else, too, so excited, of course, in the month of May. But not only for that. For me, it's a limited program this year. It's been a season now for the last 13 seasons. But this year, I'm representing for the Chip Kanase Racing on number 11 car for the Oval, which means this is my only second race for now. But talking about the environment, Chip Kanase Racing is obviously the leading team for entire years. And particularly for the recent years in the 500, it's very, very strong. So it's been a really good practice so far every day. And qualifying, for me, was a little bit bittersweet. I wanted to be a little bit higher. But Alex and my teammates showed the number 10 car was on pole. So we have speed. And we have a very strong package in the environment. It's just fantastic. Now, you're a two -time winner of the Indianapolis 500. When you go back to Japan, what is the reaction in Japan and your reputation in your home country? Well, they love it. But they do. Specifically for the motor racing, of course. The fans, whoever knows about the car racing, they obviously know it. And for the housewives and all the things, if you go to 100 % Japan, maybe there is a certain area that nothing knows about motor racing. But still, when we achieved such a winning in 2017 and 2020, the news is all over the place for the evening show and the morning show of the entire country. So it was magnificent. Are you able to walk down the street? Do they mob you? You can admit it. I can walk anywhere, no problem. Is there a difference in winning your first and your second in terms of your personal reaction to it? I think it's yes and no. I think it's both wins. You just can't compare it. Obviously, the winning is superb, the memories and nothing like it. But of course, you could say the first one has got just a significant impact because it's just the first win for the 500. It's just unbelievable. We made history to that. And particularly for the 350 ,000 people, which was just baffling around the magnitude and the impact of the energy that this venue had was just nothing like it. Now, of course, 2020 was a difficult year for everyone else. There were no fans at that race, right? Exactly. So we didn't have any spectators. So it was a zero. So if you look at the whole 360, it was just a gray groundster. But knowing that millions of people were cheering through the TV safely at the backyard of your house. So I think it was tough to say. When we won, obviously, the whole team, it was just such a special feeling. But we didn't get buzz from the 350 ,000 people. But again, we were so grateful we were able to do the race. We had to thank the Roger Panskis and all the Indy Car Sinks and all sponsors to understand and made it happen. That was so special. Well, I've got two questions. One, what is it like, as you mentioned this before, how have you tried to mentally prepare yourself for just the ovals? Is it hard to gear up? Do you have to do anything different this being your first year? It's not an easy, for sure. But now, by now, I have got enough experience to handle it, too. That you don't get the rhythm, you don't get the momentum from the previous races and stuff like that. Also, in a special, I moved the team, new team. So every member of the staff and engineers is just kind of unknown, right? So you have to build a great relationship, which we are today. However, I'm still catching up to my teammates and stuff like this. But it's a challenge, a great challenge. But are you more physically

"So I see him afterwards, many hours afterwards. And it's it's brought a tear to my eye many times because it does mean a lot. It's cool to see even the IMS radio broadcast. They I heard it this morning because I did an interview and they played what they were saying when I took the lead last year. And it's just, you know, or the two years ago. It's just it's awesome. This place means the most to me. And just having success, like doing it's awesome. But when you start to feel success here and when you start to feel that, you know, you're getting closer and closer to winning, that's that's what makes you want to do it even more. I was in the pagoda when you were when you were in the middle of that 40 laps. How the hell did you get in there? You know, I'm an actor. I pretend to be important. And Doug was was there and I ran into him and he was he was about as nervous a fellow as I've ever seen, like a stepfather. And then it was just but it really was like the whole place was so, you know, behind you. And it's because you're a good dude, you know, not just being a local guy. You're a good dude, as far as I know. Anyway, I think you need to win this thing. That's the goal. That's that is why we show up on Sundays. Last question. Any particular day of show, if you will, prep anything you don't do? No coffee? Light breakfast, no breakfast? Well, the race is too early to have lunch. So you just have a bit of a breakfast and maybe a little snack before before the race. But there's no real crazy tradition. I like going over the snake pit every morning. That's something that I've done as a bit of a tradition to see what's going on over there. The Schroeder production group, Chris Schroeder and Ashley Brown over there, who put the stage up and do all the production over there. They're great friends of mine and they're awesome people. And they do a great job putting that on every year. So I like going over there. And it's like about a 15, 20 minute window, 25 minutes. I want to meet Shaq. That would be cool. Oh, is he performing? He's performing. Is he legit? Is he like DJ Diesel, baby? Have you seen him before? Is he legit at all? Or is it a name? I assume it's awesome. I assume he puts on a great show because after many years of being an elite athlete, I'm sure he knows how to party. That's kind of what I like to do. And I enjoy it and just to just enjoy it with my family and friends. Connor Daly. Thanks, Connor. Thank you, guys. Give my best to your dad. I'm a huge fan. Thank you. My name is Chris Spangel. We are here with Drew Powell and we are talking to David Maloukas, who is the driver of the number 18 Dalecoin racing car. Tell us about your month of May so far. It's been unexpected, exciting. Well, kind of what we expected, but not really. We were expecting to come in to unload with a bit of a quicker car. You know, it's looking at Dalecoin's history, the car we had last year. And unfortunately, this season, it's been a bit of a struggle. We unloaded and we're like, oh, we got work to do. And we managed to find some of a race car qualifying came. Very tough day. Probably the most stressful day in my racing career. You know, we were struggling to, you know, not get bumped. Struggling to try to make it out of the last chance. But thankfully, you know, towards the end of the day, perseverance, a little bit of hope, we managed to put everything together and actually qualify 23rd, which we were just jumping. We were like, if you see our team, we look like we won pole. Like we were so we were more excited than the McLaren team actually getting but we were like, yeah, jumping through the roof. Yeah, when you're sitting there watching those cars go out and you say it's stressful, like what could you for those of us who've never been in that position, what would you liken that to? Like that that feeling of just watching other cars and you're just sitting there just waiting on your future. Yeah, I mean, the way qualifying day works, we have the we have the one run. So, you know, you come in with that run and we were right on the precipice of being in the last chance, which was from 30th onwards. And so we were always in that bubble zone is what they call it. And you always have to wait on the other people that are in last chance to go and do their laps. And because they are in last chance, they can go in lane one and lane one obviously deletes your time. But since they're in last chance anyways, it doesn't matter. You might as well just delete it and just keep going. So you're just kind of watching the board. And then as soon as they hit it, now you go in lane one and try to go again. And because you're trying to push the limit of the car so much, everything's on edge. So as a driver, you're out there and it's not an easy four laps. You are playing with the car at 240 miles an hour going sideways. And it is the most stressful four laps you can possibly do. And obviously from Honda's side, you're pushing the engine as much as you can. So you have to be on top of engine maps, on top of changes. So there's a lot going on for those four laps. And although it's only four laps, it is probably the longest four laps I've ever done. It feels like forever. But yeah, there's so much going on. And that's kind of why it's very stressful. You know, Drew, he has blue eyes, too. Hey, this is going on Tom's theory. Look, so Tom, the host of the show, we've realized today, talking to the drivers, that 80 % of you guys, the three that you missed all had blue eyes, too. So do you think there's some sort of working theory? Maybe there's a driving gene that's maybe of blue eyes. I mean, Jody, what color do you have blue eyes? The green? No, she can never be a driver, I don't think. That's crazy. So, wow. It's one of those things where I thought Tom was being Tom and like, okay, bro. But then everybody kept coming. Yeah. With the exception of the Brazilians and the Mexicans and the Japanese. Like, everybody else has blue eyes. So now I'm like, wait a minute. We're going

This is Chris Spangler here for the Bob and Tom show, here with actor Drew Powell, and we are joined by Graham Ray Hall. Graham, first race suit today. You're fresh out of the car. You had a golf tournament, and then you had 15 minutes in the car to loosen up. I did, yeah. Yeah, it was quick. Didn't get through the golf tournament, either. Ran out of time. Oh, really? The play was too slow. Christian Lundgaard was here, and he had a good time. And it's my golf tournament, so it's my fault, I guess, that we weren't quick enough. But yeah, it's been a little bit of a whirlwind few days for me. But we're here, and it was good to get out there, even for 15 minutes, just to see how different things are, because clearly, car to car, it's different. How big is the jump from your Ray Hall car to the Cusick car? Well, it's more just like the steering wheel is clearly a lot different. To get used to it, where the buttons are, the way the buttons feel. You know, in gloves, even just the feel of things is so critical. The RLL car, the buttons are kind of, they protrude out a long way. The dry Rambo Cusick Motorsports car, they're kind of flat with the wheels, so you've got to actually push in, so it feels quite different. But look, those are all things we'll adjust to. We got a couple hours tomorrow to figure it out and go from there. It definitely is a blur to jump in and just go. We're not going to rehash what every single other person in the media day has asked you, but I do want to ask about the difference, maybe between 20 years ago versus now. You're a Honda driver driving for a Chevy car. They allowed you to do that. The teams work together. Has the sport become a lot more collegial? Maybe it's competitive, but not as intense. No, I think it still is. I was very surprised to be here. In many ways, particularly, I think that people have seen this. I feel that the Chevy motor has been very, very strong. If you look at the cars that are up front, aside from the Ganassi team, most have been the Chevy. For them to allow me to drive that, I think is a little surprising. I think for Honda, there was a big surprise that they allowed me, simply because I've spent my whole career there. For the Chevy side, certainly, they've got information that they probably don't want me to know anything about. That's been a surprise. Did you have to sign an NDA? Somebody said that to me. You must have signed an NDA. I said, I got to sign an NDA to audition for a Marvel movie. I wouldn't sign anything, nothing at all. They trust you. You're a trustworthy guy. But they also don't tell me anything. If you don't get told a single thing. It's been a whirlwind, man. The last few days, holy smokes. It's hard to process what all is actually taking shape. Did you go home? No. Just been living in the motor home, man. Yeah. Living in the motor home. Let's see what happens. Got two little girls in there, two dogs. And my wife, Courtney, is somehow keeping it all together. It's awesome, dude. I'm not really sure how. It's awesome. I loved it. I've got a four and a half year old. I've got a baby due next month. Things for me have changed radically since having kids. How has having children, young kids, watching your daughter walk up and hug you on the race car, I might tear up thinking about it now. I mean, how has that changed things for you? That's when it got hard for me. I was kind of feeling OK. Not OK, but I mean, I was keeping it together. And then I looked over and I saw my wife with the two girls. And I was like, uh -oh. That's when you feel so much. Kryptonite. Yeah, it's just so hard. But here we are. We're back in it. We just needed a chance. We got a chance now. So let's see what happens. How did the car feel today? Hard to tell. Well, and it's windy. I mean, super windy today. I hope it's not like this on race day. Just more out of principle. This is tough. No fun being out there like this. But it's different. I mean, it's going to be different. It's going to feel handled different. It's going to feel different tomorrow. But I'm excited to get out there and get a sense of it. We'll see. Yeah. So we've been asking everybody all day long. I live from the Hollywood world. So they make a movie. And this sounds like they might be making a movie about this. There's been a lot of great drama. Who plays you in the movie? Oh, man. You tell me. Well, I'm available. And I think we're the same height. So I'm going to hit the gym for the next three years. And then we'll be fine. No, OK. Let's think about this. Because I don't know. What do people say? You look like an actor? They don't know. The only person I've ever told that I look like is Luke Bryan. Yeah, I see that. You know who just hit me from last year, actually? And we met last year for the first time here. It was Miles Teller. I could see some Miles Teller. You think so? Yeah. I'm not saying you guys look exactly alike. But I think he could do a good job with you. That movie was sweet. Wasn't it? It was awesome. It brought people back to the theater. I was so thankful for that movie. But yeah, I could see that. And man, what a story. This is what number for you? 500? 16. 16? 16. Oh, yeah. Yeah, a lot. The person that was born the year of the first is 16 years old right now. Learning to drive. I know. And well, I feel like most of the drivers I compete against were born on my first one, my first race. Especially these days. It's kind of strange. There's a lot of youth in the sport right now. A lot. R .C. Emerson was like, yeah, I came to my first one. Tony Kanaan started. It's like, ugh, I was a senior in high school. We're about

"We're going to, next time my wife joins me, I'm going to call you up because we're on the north side too with my folks. We're going to find a good pub that will serve us some breakfast. I make pretty good sausage rolls. Don, let's go. I'll come over. Do you feel like even just a little bit confused at like what's going on here? I feel like I just came from England and a Waffle House right now. I'm hungry. That's all I have right now. Geez. Actually, it's one of the first ones I went to. It was new in my American adventure. We were in New Orleans and I went to a Waffle House. That is the last time I ever went into a Waffle House. I think what made it worse, I saw them prepping. Don't ever look behind the curtain. Just throw up a screen. Ignorance is bliss. I saw that thing go in the waffle maker. I couldn't bring myself to eat it. That should not be served by people. Is there an American fast food restaurant that you're really into? So many. You're like me, except you work out and you probably can resist temptation. You just drive by what and you just go, I got to have a BK today. I got to have Burger King. That's not on my list. What's your list? Chick -fil -A, maybe number one. Of course. Honestly, I'm class. There's me saying I'm not a BK guy. I do like Burger King. I like McDonald's. Have you had In -N -Out when you're in California? Love In -N -Out. I like Five Guys. I like all of them. I like Shake Shack. Now we're flowing. Big Pizza Guy. Basbo's. Great Pizza. Napoli's. Good Pizza. Greeks. Good Pizza. Monocles. We had a Greeks pizza on the square in Lebanon, Indiana. It was like living. Controversial. I like Arby's. Curly Fries. I'm okay with that. And then I've never been to Wendy's. I don't even know why. I've got no problem with Wendy. We're going to need a Wendy sponsorship here. I think you got a great opportunity. I actually love their social media account. I think it's brilliant. I don't know why. I've never been there. I've never been to Culver's. And I hear that's good too. I do like Greta's ice cream though. That's pretty clutch. Do you know the only thing about McDonald's that annoys me? The milkshake slash ice cream maker never works. And by the way, they're just lying. Sometimes I just want a cone. Just give me a cone. A little bit of a 99 whip. It's too hard to get a 99 whip. Put your freaking little flake in there. Give me a 99 flake. Someone get me a Cadbury flake. I think we're going to have to start a podcast. American and Englishmen and food. People are going to listen to this back and be like, what are they even all about? How many times a week do you eat fast food? Truthfully, not many. You don't get in a race car eating fast food. I like social cantina. That's kind of close to us. We like that. Big Chipotle guy. I like wall burgers. That's another one I've never mentioned. That's great. We need to just edit this of him like wistfully talking. Here's me saying I don't eat a lot. 42 minutes later. Yeah, he's still going. I've never dabbled on White Castle because someone said, give it a wide berth. Jacob's mad. He's what? Yeah, I don't know. It's one of those two in the morning and you've made some bad decisions and you're like, well, let's just add one more thing. Not to just keep having another one, but my next one. You talk about bad decisions at 2 AM. Skyline chili. Let's go. Come on, chili mac. That's a good decision. That's a good decision at 3 PM. It doesn't feel as good the next morning. I will never forget smelling my breath. With infused booze Skyline chili onions. And I was like, I think I'm going to die. I'm going to breathe in my own breath and I'm just going to keel over. Good night, everybody. And we're out. That's great. I love it, man. All right, Jack Harvey, the number 30 for Ray Hall Letterman. Oh yeah, racing. Best of luck to you. Racing. Best interview of the day. Hey, hi. It's Joseph Newgarden is our guest. And we continue this streak. Hey, hey. I am positive that there are more drivers with blue eyes. It's amazing. At least the ones that we talk to. Yeah. Keep in count of that. Well, he's very interested in it. I noticed like 10 drivers in, only one of them didn't have blue eyes. Yeah. And that actually kind of leads to a sort of serious thing. Didn't you do a lot of talking about the importance of sunscreen and... Oh, yes, for Out Run the Sun. Yeah, great, great charity organization. It's true. I mean, look, I think skin cancer is the most prevalent cancer that is out there. You can see why. I mean, we're exposed every day. It's hard, though. Not a lot of people think of it. And you got to be careful. I mean, enjoy yourself. Come out here, but just lather up. You're looking at a guy who did that thing where he did his face, and he did his ears, and he did the back of his neck, and he did his arms playing golf in Florida this weekend. But he didn't put anything on his legs as if the sun would somehow magically not touch the legs. They are burnt to a crisp. And I need to pay a little bit more attention to my buddy Joseph over here. Well, one of the important things about being a race car driver, you're not going to get much sun. That's true. Helmet. Out Run the Sun. Yeah. How do you like the setup now that you guys... It was really kind of an open thing, but it was almost a convertible. Now you guys are sort of in there. I don't know how we were doing it before without the screen. I really don't. And it's funny because when this was coming up, it's really the last safety innovation, major innovation for an Indy car. And historically, there's never been anything there, and I was not for it. I was like, hey, that's not the DNA of Indy car racing. We don't need to be putting that on the race car. So I was the opposition. I was on that side. I couldn't believe it. And now I look back and I go, what was I thinking? What were any of us thinking? It's nuts. But you could also go back 50, 60 years and look at some of the cars were driven then and say, what were these guys thinking? They'd have fuel cells wrapped around their bodies. I mean, it was like they were sitting on a bomb basically. So I think you just you only know what you know. And for us, that was normal to not have the screen. Now that the new normal is having the screen, I couldn't imagine taking that thing off. I mean, it's crazy. We didn't have more incidents. It's impossible for us to put ourselves in the car. But is there a difference sonically? I mean, can you hear better or does it affect the way you can look at things because of the glass? It is different, you know, because before your head was completely exposed and you're getting, you know, all the turbulence. When you were in the pack, you know, it's 33 cars here in Indy. When you were deep in the pack, the amount of buffeting and turbulence that you get directly to your face was unreal. Like it was hard. It was like you were in a wind tunnel. It was crazy to describe. Whereas now with the screen, the car is still moving, but you're not getting that directly, you know, on your helmet. So it is very different feel. How about sonically? Oh, yeah. You guys have to wear the earpieces. Oh, that's right. Yeah, that didn't change much. You know, I think that actually you hear the engine

We're here in Indiana, buddy. Romaine Grosjean. Romaine Grosjean. Romaine Grosjean, get over here, that's yeah, fine. Good enough. We typically end these interviews by our actor friend, Drew Powell, asking, go ahead. Okay. So who plays you in the movie? There's a movie about your life. Who's the actor? Oh, man. Yeah. That's a good question. I think the answer is obvious. The late Paul Newman. Now it's going to be tough. Oh, yeah. Look at those blue eyes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I can see Paul Newman. That's a, that's a big compliment. Okay. I would say I was going to say Gerard Depardieu, but I don't think, I don't think he could fit in the car. He'll be cutting some weight. Amazing actor though. He is amazing. No smoking in the car. Yeah, that's right. I'll have Paul Newman. That's a good choice. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And Mr. Newman used to be at the track all the time. Yeah. Did you ever see him out here? I did. Yeah. And one of the greatest moments of my life, I was talking with a friend of mine who was a friend of his, and he used to love listening to our silly race songs about the Indy 500, all those dumb songs we do. Yeah, sure. He thought they were hilarious. So, and Paul and I are both from Shaker Heights. That's where everything ends. No other comparison. Welcome to Indianapolis. Welcome to the Indianapolis 500. Great to see you. Thanks for taking the time to talk to us. Where do you stand with respect to your size with the other guys? Are you like right in the middle, average size? I'm actually quite tall. 5 180 '11", centimeters. So I'm quite tall, but I'm just better than them. So you can see over the dash. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I get that. Yeah. No, I'm quite tall, but the good thing with the Indy car, the cars are designed in a way that you've got quite a bit of room. So they're comfy enough for 500 miles. And what is your first language? French. Does someone talk to you during the race in French or is everybody speaking English? 98 % of the time we speak English, but my engineer is French. So when we want to talk strategy and the other team not to understand what we're saying, we go to French. So does he begin every phrase by going, ha ha ha. The situation is very much now that we need to save fuel and tire. After we see where we are. I think you're playing yourself in the movie. That's pretty darn good. Do you dream in French? I dream in both languages, English and French. When you dream about ladies, English or French? I'm married for like 11 years. Good answer. Good answer. Nice save. Can we get that on a loop so he can play that back? Send it to me. No, I can save, I can save your life right here. Watch this. In the movie, who plays your wife? Oh man. Oh sleeper subject. So when I met my wife, she's a small brunette. I told her that one of the most beautiful girl I knew was a tall blonde girl, an actress. And you know, just like, yeah, that could be my fantasy. And we go to that restaurant where you sit at a counter and I'm sitting and they sit next to me. It's free. And who comes and show up and sit next to me? That actress. And then my wife like, get the helmet and say, Hey, you can tell her now. I was like, ah, you know what, in real life, not as good as you. Nice play. Nice play. When you tell people you're a race car driver that don't know you, do they go, right? Do they believe it? Well, he's famous now. Everybody knows it from the Phoenix. Yeah. But sometimes my kids were like, yeah, my dad drives Formula One and the other kids were like, no, no, no, no. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And then after show up, they're like, oh my God. Yeah. Your kids think you're like super, I don't, my experience, my kids think I'm very normal and not that cool. Like they can see you on TV and the things you do climbing out of the fire, all that. How cool do your kids think you are? It's hard to say. I think, you know, they, they grew up in that environment where people once picture with you in the street and they kind of ask questions and they're like, no, I just, I just think that is cool because they race cars. I don't really know what they understand or not. We're trying to keep them working hard and explain to them that life that we live is not the normal life that dads normally don't, you know, cannot spend like four months in the winter at home and that you have a job. And yes, sometimes I'm away for a long time, but also sometimes I'm home for a long time. So we're just trying to tell them that they, they need to work hard. Once again, that sounds exactly like the number of times actor acting in pro sports, like my friends that are pro sports, it's exactly what you just said. And it's weird. And like my son would be, he would come to see me at work and he was in the bat cave, you know, like, but all he cared about was going to get the snacks at the service. You know, like that's kids, you know, they get free soda. Do you ski? I do. All right. From Switzerland? My grandfather was vice world champion of skiing. Whoa. 1950. That's a big deal. I was born on ski. I was, that was actually my first sport. Whoa. What's your favorite place to ski? I love the, I love the Alps in Europe, France and Switzerland, Italy. But I, my grandfather was vice world champion in Aspen, 1950. So I've always dreamed of going skiing in Aspen. Have you ever been there? No, 2020 I could not because I got the accident. 2021 I got the surgery. 2022 we moved to Miami.

"Now I just, if I take the lead going into one, I go into turn three. I'm kind of looking up. If I ever crash would be extremely I'm stupid because watching this people, but yes. Would it be harder? So last one, would it be harder to walk away winning it or finishing like second or third where you were like right on the cusp? I don't think it makes a difference. I think the decision that I made, I've known I'm still capable of winning and I know I can still decide to come back next year if that was the case that I was still going to be capable of winning. I think that the biggest thing for me is I'm going to enjoy. And then I think I wanted to enjoy with you guys, with my fans, all my four kids are here this time. And for them to witness what this place, the way this place treats me, it's more important than finishing second winning or whatever. How old are they now? 15, eight, six and four. Oh, wow. So four, like just old enough to really remember. My youngest is and she will probably remember less, but she really knows race cars. I mean, it's an awesome, when you try to show your kids you did something good in life, I think this place is going to show them their death. That letter that you wrote and you put it on the bricks, that was really a cool touch. And how have you kept the emotions in check this week? So I haven't. I cried when I wrote it for the first time. So I cried when I wrote it. I cried when I wrote it again, shooting it. And this week has just been depends, right? I mean, although you're really happy and somebody will say something that it will trigger and you get emotional and it's only going to get worse. I mean, driver's interest is going to be a mess. The parade is going to be a mess. I had people coming up to me qualifying day and I had this kid, he walked up to me, he had a 7 -Eleven hat, old, all beat up. He says, do you remember this hat? I said, well, I know it was my hat because I, us drivers, like you just talked about my hoodie. This hoodie, we only, drivers only have it. So if I'll give it to you, it's because somebody on the team, a driver in the team. And anyway, this kid said to me, you remember this hat? I said, well, I know it was my hat. He says, well, you gave it to me and he showed me a picture. But you're talking about 15 years ago. He is 20. And he was 5. And then you cry. Of course. Yeah. How could you not? So yeah, it's been up and down. Yeah. I love that story. Am I correct in saying that you have a sleeve with some tattoos? I have a tattoo. Yeah. And is it, do you have the Borg Warner on there? So you want to share? Sure. I'd love to see it. Yes. Oh, look at all this stuff. Basically, Tom, what I did it was I made a tattoo when I won with the biggest accomplices of my life. So it's the bricks, the Borg Warner. Then I have the hand imprints in the foot of my kids when they were born. My wedding date with my wife, the car number that I won. And I won the 24 hours of Daytona and you win a Rolex. That's the crown of the watch. So yeah. Who designed that? You designed it, but who did it? It was a guy in Sweden, actually. Sweden? Yeah. No, he was in Brazil at the time, but he's from Sweden. So yeah. See, that's a great story. You know, most people these days, they've got, you know, Daffy Duck, they got him from mall. My brother -in -law has a pink Panther holding a beer that's like, it used to be pink and now it's just gross. They don't go, is it Sweden? Where are we? Australia? Yeah. I think it was in Sheboygan. Yeah. Tony Kanan is our guest, TK. He is a fan favorite. Oh, isn't he? He could do it. Can you imagine that story? Then we make a movie. We're going to make a movie anyway. That's a good way to end it. You got to ask him the question. So when they make a movie about you, who plays you? Come on, Vin Diesel. There's no doubt. Great call. I don't know. It's not going to be an audition. It's either him or we're not making the movie. I mean, I feel like you're maybe a better actor than Vin Diesel. I'm just saying. I don't want to discuss that. That's great. I love it. Fast and furious indeed. Last question. Do you have any weird things you eat or don't eat before the race? Brazilian balls? Cheese balls? We're all weird. Come on. You know me for a long time. Anything unusual? No, I try not to eat, which I love, like sushi or raw fish, just because. But that's so stupid because you can eat bad food regardless. My food could just be bad. So what we try to do is, just funny, but whatever I eat on Friday night, the same food that was cooked from there, I'll eat Saturday night. Oh, so you know. You know you're eating something. That's good. That's interesting. Now that is an interesting quirk. So finally, we have a question that's almost real. And it's really boring because then, you know, the race is actually, we get a report to the green room at 11. We kind of have lunch at 10, 30 in the morning, and that's the same food. So it's the same food for three days. And it's two dinners and you call breakfast, but it's lunch. Do you think you'll live in Indiana forever? Will you go back to Brazil? I would never go back to Brazil. I think my family is all here. My wife, you know, went to school with your wife. Yes, exactly. The kids love here. Forever is a tough call, but I think, you know, with the smaller kids that we have, we have 18 years on us. Easy. It's pretty cool. I have 18 years to hate the winter, do the theater show that me and Tom do, that we play ridiculous roles. Oh, I'd like to see that. Do your kids speak Portuguese? Bilingual. I only speak Portuguese to them at home and my wife is American. So they speak both languages. Does she speak much? She does. She had to learn with four people, five people talking. Yes, but she does. Yeah. Mostly the swear words directed at you. That's how she learned how to speak Portuguese for me. And now we had to stop since the kids are not old enough to swear. Okay. Am I correct in saying Romaine? Am I getting that? Does that sound good? No. Okay. Because I'm about to give them a really nice. Roman. Roman. Roman Grosjean. Roman

The latest in sports
"AP sports I'm David Shuster, one game in both the NBA and NHL playoffs Sunday and they were completely different from a competitive standpoint. We start in the NBA with geth and kuba filling us in on Miami and Boston. The Miami Heat cruise to a three O series lead in the Eastern Conference Finals after blowing out the Boston Celtics one 28 one O two at home in game three. Gabe Vincent pace the heat with a playoff career high 29 points on 11 of 14 shooting. Caleb Martin added 18 points, Jimmy Butler scored 16 and bam adebayo 13. Boston stars Jayson Tatum and jaylen Brown were held to 14 and 12 points respectively on a combined 12 of 35 shooting. Miami can clinch its second NBA Finals birth in four seasons with a win in game four Tuesday. And now over to hockey with Mark Myers reporting on Las Vegas and Dallas. Chandler Stephenson scored early in overtime to give the golden knights a three to two win over the stars and a two O series lead the knights were able to tie the score in the final minute of regulation on a goal by Jonathan Marshall, Aiden hill made 26 saves in the Vegas nets, Jake Avengers stopped 21 shots for the stars who were now zero in four and overtime games this postseason. Turning to baseball, Houston completed a three game sweep of Oakland Sunday's final two zero and how bad are the a's well they're on pace to lose 138 games which would be a record. Other highlights Sunday Oscar Mercado with 5 RBI St. Louis ten 5 over the Dodgers and Cedric mullin 5 hits Baltimore 8 three over Toronto. To golf and Brooks Koepka won his 5th major title, he won the PGA Championship by two shots. That was good. Yeah, this one's this one's definitely special. I think this one's probably the most meaningful of them all with everything that's gone on, all the other crazy stuff over the last few years, but it feels good to be back and get number 5.

"And that's they did. You know, you could point at the stats and say, oh, wow, was it 70 yard run? They were ahead of the sticks all game long. You know, so what? Third and two, they got three yards. So they did a lot of quarterback sneaks or you know, the colts did whatever they wanted to really on offense in the running game. And to me, part of that was personnel. But look, he's right to be concerned. And on BSG when I predicted, how does this end for the Patriots? I have them losing at home in the divisional round to the Titans for exactly the reason that he's talking about. That the Titans given health given AJ Brown and Julio Julio Brown and Derek Henry, even without Derek Henry, they ran for 270 yards. If they get really, if they have threats on the outside to go along with an effective running game with Ben Jones owning whoever's in the middle of the Patriots line and not being able to hold up if Lawrence guy plays like he did against the colts and gotcha gets moved as well. If that happens, the season is over. That their patriots will not get off the field, it would be a redux of 2019 exactly what we saw when the Titans came in here. So you should be concerned. Is it a fatal flaw? Yeah, it could be. It all depends on the matchup, though. Everything. Like I said, I think they'll be better the second time around against the colts and plus you have a Carson Wentz who stinks. But yeah, if you run into the wrong team, you bet your ass, it could be a fatal flaw. All right, speaking of second time around baby preview and again, you'll talk more about this later in the week, but the bills coming up here on Sunday, it's a hat and T-shirt game. But as we mentioned briefly, there's almost nothing you can take from that first matchup and apply it to this one. So it really is, you know, I don't get cocky if you're a patriots fan because of how the first game went. This has anything you thought about the bills going into that one. You should think about them going into this one. Yeah, I mean, Sean mcdermot postgame speech about whoever the Panthers. First of all, the bills, if the Panthers had a real kicker or any kicker and Cam Newton wasn't canned Newton, they had their hands full in that game. And Josh Allen was crappy Josh Allen again for parts of that game. After the game, he said that the team he's like, we know, we know who's next. You know, it doesn't need to be said. They know they're basically saying like, you know, we owe them one. They came in here, embarrassed us, you know, made us not look good. I look like an idiot on the sideline. They are coming for revenge. And I can't wait to see what happens. Because, you know, I think the Patriots are a better team. I'm going to pick the Patriots..

"Inexcusable. It just is. That was a game that where they needed a lift from the special teams and instead they put more nails in the coffin for this team. Yeah. All right, three up. Hunter Henry. Look, we talked about some of the issues that I have with him. He still was one of the better players on this team. And did a really nice job in the past game. I thought Jamie Collins, when he got more run instead of juwan Bentley, he wasn't perfect either. He blew a couple edges. Basically everybody, when you're talking about somebody good in this game, they did some bad for change. And then there were two guys I wanted to mention three guys actually. Adrian Phillips, I thought that a nice job. JC Jackson got his hands on some passes. That was mostly Carson Wentz, but whatever he was there, he almost intercepted passes. And I thought David Andrews I had him for a clean sheet in the middle of the line. I thought he did a really nice job overall. So those are my. I'm going to throw in one with just a, we're going to add a three a, I just want to give because the expectations are so freaking low. Seeing Nikhil Harry do anything that resembles something that a receiver of his pedigree is supposed to do. That's literally all you've ever wanted to see from Nikhil Harry on his 30 yard grab there, which is be downfield one on one high point of ball uses big body box out, make the catch. And if you could just do that a little a couple of times, again, we're not talking about if you look at the Patriots. These aren't reliable go to 15 targeted game weapons. These are specialists. Each one should be able to do different things for you. If you could have Harry used his body and actually play like a large receiver from time to time, that could help some things. Again, they are dying in the red zone outside of Henry.

"indy" Discussed on Greg Bedard Patriots Podcast with Nick Cattles
"Reaction after the Patriots lost to the Indianapolis Colts on Saturday night was kind of like, what the hell happened after benefit of looking at the film? Anything come clear into clearer focus other than they played like total crap for three fourths of the game? Yeah, I just thought that this was not the same patriots team that we had watched for the previous 7 games, 7, 8 games. This is just this was more back to the two and four patriots team. I don't have any ready explanation for it. I don't think the people around the team have an explanation for it. I know we've heard Mac Jones at the podium, say stuff about guys, maybe sorry for themselves, about the biweek or whatever, whatever that means. Look, I'm not willing to go to extremes. I'm not willing to say, well, this is the first real adverse road environment that they played in all season and they spit the bit. Like, oh, they're never going to be able to do this this season. They're not going to be able to go in the playoffs and win on the road. They have to get home games. I'm not ready to say that. Because the first time for anything and they really haven't had many challenging road environments this season, the bills would have been won, but the weather sort of negated all of that. And but I'm also not willing to give them a pass and just be like, well, this was just a total aberration. They'll be back to the team that they were, you know, that's not who they were. It was just they were rusty coming off the buy. I'm not willing to make it. No, this is for them. They're not good enough. They're not good enough for that. That's the thing. You've had too many wins where you came away with it like they kind of sucked in this game, you know, Tennessee being one, buffalo was a total throwaway game..

Why Are We Affected? (MM #3916)
"The NASA minute. With Kevin mason. Yesterday I woke up to the news that Indy 504 time champion Al Unser had passed away. He was 82. Now when you hit that age, it shouldn't be a surprise, but even though he had cancer for a few years, it was a surprise, just because you're not there. You're not expecting it to happen, so you're not mentally prepared. Many of my friends, especially from Indianapolis, who grew up around the speedway, have a feeling in a connection to Allen's or senior whether we met him or not. I met him for a brief moment with a quick hello and how are you doing? And that was about it. But it was magical, because I watched him win those races on TV as a young kid, then a few hours later, Michael Nesmith of the Monkees passed away at the age of 78. And likewise, a lot of friends, both musically connected not, feeling the effects, and were all sharing our feelings, and I wonder why we're affected the way we are. We don't know these people, but they impacted our lives so greatly, but even though we're not prepared for it, it still hurts. And I really wish I could explain why it affects me and so many of my Friends so much.

Q&A: How Can I Launch a Set of Unique Enamel Pins?
"Is the most effective way of launching by enamel brain pins wholesale and getting them into the right hands at museum and hospital gift shops nationally. The pens are high. Quality enamel designed by me manufactured. In china they are loved by neuroscientists neurologists psychologists and others. Who work with the brain or people who have brain injuries or illnesses. I thought about emailing links and sending samples in fun and different packaging. Or i'm also wondering if i should go the more traditional route of the big expensive gift show. Thanks so much for all you do to help all of us out here. it's invaluable. thank you so much laura. you're awesome congratulations on going fulltime. I think you said you're doing that this month or soon. At least i'll listeners. I want to encourage you to check out laura's site one because we want to support her but also because it's a really good example here. Laura bundesbahn dot com. Bunsen be indy. Espn dot com and my first comment here before we talk about the new line of products. My first comment is i really respect her pricing. Like laura's work is not cheap. She's doing some really beautiful art. A lot of it has mixed media and it sells for a good amount of money. Like i'm looking at these pieces on the site. And i'm seeing eight hundred dollars nine hundred and fifty dollars thirty six hundred dollars. Three thousand six hundred fifteen hundred dollars etc so some really beautiful art and she's not afraid to sell it for a good price so good for her. She probably wouldn't be able to go full time. She was selling this work for fifty to one hundred dollars each also. This kind of pricing allows for some investing in marketing and some experiments especially when it comes to launching a new product line like launching these new enamel pins and so my that was my first thought about i respect the pricing. My second thought. As i heard the question was have you tried exhibiting and then at the end she mentioned the big expensive gift show you know. I think it's a risk. Nothing is guaranteed but might you regret it if you didn't try and if it were me in this situation i think i would which would tell me. Oh i should definitely try it. I think this is the time in which you invest it in which you are willing to do. Some more extensive experiments reaching out to her target market and sending physical samples. So i think she mentioned something about that. Kind of outreach. I would send physical samples of the pins not just a link or i might email and ask if i could send a physical sample just so a bit. More of a relationship has been established since it's ultimately a physical product. She wants to sell. And i assume it will be a lot lower price than the handcrafted one of a kind art that she also sells probably gonna help to see it in

"He chose to drop a nuclear bomb. So so is this tony. Georgia's kind of You mentioning mentioning nascar new mentioning jeff. Gordon is interesting because he's hard ease kind of a a side Topic i guess to all this but but he's probably indicative of something here right. I guess at least in you started tidal wave. Jeff gordon went. Nascar was instantly successful. And all of a sudden you had ryan newman. And dave blaney and tony stewart. I mean tony. Stewart to his credit. He he was a hoosier kid. He wanted to raise indy cars. And because of the i. r. l. He is the one poster boy. Success story of the irs putting short-track guy in an indycar guyon and having him show success but it didn't lead them having an along indycar career. It didn't lead to him. Winning the indy. Five hundred three times. And you know. Driving indy cars for fifteen or twenty years. He went to nascar soon. As you want an indie card an i. r. l. championship. So so what. I'm what i'm getting here. Getting at. Though i guess this is this is just as am i right in in sort of putting this out there. That may be in georgia's mind that this is. This is almost like a a battle. Maybe a looming battle between that of nascar and that of what was in could be quote unquote indycar racing. Almost feels like that. This was a split. Maybe for the attention of of the american racing enthusiast. Let's be clear. Nascar was a dictatorship by bill. France and bill france junior from day one was much less. It's much less soon now. Of course but certainly certainly up up. Until the brian france sierra it was one man made the decisions and tony. George had bill france junior telling him that in one ear at bernie ecclestone another example of a guy. Who's the one guy that is the the be all end all decision maker. He had these two guys telling him. You need to take control of this. They need you. You don't need them and ultimately everybody found out that they do need each other. That's interesting so this is almost an emulation. Perhaps by him to take this and maybe either return it to its roots or sort of. Lay down the law so to speak. But it also seems to me that by even sort of centralizing that the thought process and leveraging the proverbial crown jewel of s and in the five hundred indianapolis five hundred and it feels like a leverage play right. It's like hey guess what guys you can't do this without the indy. Five hundred as part of the as the crown jewel right. Here's here's the crux of it. I mean he had a lotta worthy goals. American drivers will tracks and all that and yes. He did leverage the indy. Five hundred but the bottom line is that he devalued the indy. Five hundred by leveraging at the way he did he could have gone about trying to gain greater control or bigger voice in indycar racing in many different ways other than starting a competing series against the cart indycar series at a time when indycar racing was at historic high levels of success in every measure. Okay so let's let's talk then more specifically about the early nineties and the the the the literal split i we were talking about the fishers. That sort of led up to this sort of major issue but you you're describing sport that at this time. The late eighties was really gaining steam. Getting a lot of attraction this cable television thing you know that that got fed with more and more events and stuff and it seems like it was a pie that was growing for all concerned. But maybe maybe can get a little granular of to sort of like what truly transpired. You're mentioning it this indycar this. Irl sort of offshoot and stuff. But maybe you can kind of sort of set the table for kind of what really happens in in ninety two specifically With this truly out in the open split well in november of ninety one. Tony george went to a card owners meeting and he made a proposal to essentially take over the company and they more or less laughed in his face. He got back on the airplane to go home. He m. f. hallway and said i'll show those guys and it took until march of ninety four in march of ninety four. He announced that he was going to form a new series of indycar races. Based around the indianapolis five hundred and nobody took him seriously and he kept making announcements. They were kind of vague and oblique and he held his ground and just kept saying look. I'm going to start a new series. It's gonna start nineteen ninety-six in of ninety five. He announced that starting spots for every one of his. Irl races including the indy. Five hundred would be reserved for ira points leaders and that was the message that if the cart teams didn't run the first dayrell race or the first two. Irl races of nineteen ninety-six. They would be effectively. Shooting for eight eligible positions in indy five hundred starting field and given the options that were being presented to them. The cart team owners chose not to participate in the nineteen ninety six indianapolis five hundred at the time. Roger penske owned michigan speedway they least michigan speedway from him and they staged a race called the us. Five hundred on may twenty ninth nineteen ninety-six in direct competition with the indy. Five hundred are. Let's talk about that for a second. Because this is obviously the the height of lunacy. Right i mean. In retrospect right and and big boys and their toys right so how how I don't even remember how this went down on television and stuff that that day and and how this was playing by the way all the way in the background of course is the world six hundred two on nascar circuit to so much race if you're sagan much later in the day much later today but but if you're a race fan right in again there's also i think there's also a formula one event usually very early the monaco right usually many years. Yes right so. I guess race fans this is like oh boy. This is like the ultimate a full house. I guess. But but i. I'm really curious about how these two indycar. Let's call it and i know that's what the official term per se in this case but you to directly competing races siphoning off the talent into what to mediocre events on the same day now well ninety percent of the talent was on the card side based on the statistics In the nineteen ninety-six indy. Five hundred there were a total of six indycar race. Wins on the grid and three of them were achieved by our alliance dyke In the grid for the us five hundred at one hundred thirty one indycar race wins so it was portrayed as at michigan for cart. They had the cars and stars. And at the indy five hundred it was portrayed as a bunch of low budget rubes who had no business being there and what transpired was the indy. Five hundred started at its traditional time of eleven. Am wish they'd go back to those days and.
