Speaker 2: and a record player in a giant television, your own refrigerator,
Speaker 2: your own a dressing room with a shower and toilet,
Speaker 2: all that jazz yep moham. And then there was a
Speaker 2: an artist gym that was only available to people who
Speaker 2: were playing music. That day. There was an artist hangout
Speaker 2: area with a football table and pinball and and pool
Speaker 2: and all that stuff. There was a like a very
Speaker 2: fancy kind of cafeteria lunch area where they served food
Speaker 2: all day long, and then there's an outdoor patio on
Speaker 2: each end of it where you can go outside and
Speaker 2: sit and not be bothered while you watch the other
Speaker 2: act I mean they thought of everything. Literally, that's great
Speaker 2: and that's just for us, let alone the fans. The
Speaker 2: place looked awesome.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so what about.
Speaker 5: The crew, Like, if like a big band comes in it,
Speaker 5: does a crew get that spot too?
Speaker 4: Is that just the artist and just the singer?
Speaker 2: The crew has their own areas as well that are
Speaker 2: that would be better than anyplace else that they would
Speaker 2: know for sure. But everything's laid out so perfectly well.
Speaker 2: I can't imagine once the artists come and play that place,
Speaker 2: are going to want to play anywhere else.
Speaker 4: Yeah, right, yeah, I mean the word's gonna spread rule.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And there were there were a number of other
Speaker 2: people from Live Nation, from other facilities around the country

Speaker 2: day and just a lot of people out there, and

Speaker 6: one of your staff members, maybe multiple staff members, went
Speaker 6: around the office and tried to get everybody that works
Speaker 6: there to do their quote smallest smile, which is a
Speaker 6: really funny bit that Pete Holmes has mentioned on multiple
Speaker 6: podcasts and talk shows. So you guys ran the compilation,

Speaker 2: The Mayo Clinic is helping small towns doctor it up
Speaker 2: by using AI.
Speaker 11: Through the ARPA H Paradigm Program. MAYO is developing artificial
Speaker 11: intelligence tools that can guide healthcare workers through procedures such
Speaker 11: as blood draws and IVY placements without requiring on site specialists.
Speaker 11: Researchers have already recorded hundreds of blood drop procedures to
Speaker 11: train the technology. May officials say the goal is to
Speaker 11: help patients receive high quality care closer to home, while
Speaker 11: expanding access to medical services in areas where specialty care
Speaker 11: is often limited. Tasha radl Minn.
Speaker 2: It's weird. Like every little town around where I grew up.
Speaker 2: Maybe it's the same for you. Ben. Every town had
Speaker 2: its own hospital, now not a single one of them does.
Speaker 2: The hospital I was born in is no longer there.
Speaker 2: So I know that there's a big need for doctrine
Speaker 2: out in the farm country. So maybe this is a
Speaker 2: very good use of AI.
Speaker 3: I don't know why do you need a hospital when
Speaker 3: you have webon d yes.
Speaker 6: If you get internet access, just google it, just kiss,
Speaker 6: just kiss, You'll be fine.

Speaker 3: Well that weird. You got real weird.
Speaker 2: Anybody list no realis to comment.
Speaker 4: Don't nobody take.
Speaker 2: No ranch with you if you're leaving town.
Speaker 12: The TSA is letting travelers know not to pack ranch
Speaker 12: dressing in their carry on luggage. In an Instagram post,
Speaker 12: the agency wrote, if you're visiting for a very large
Speaker 12: sporting event and you happen to discover ranch while you're here,
Speaker 12: please pack it in your checked bag on the way home.
Speaker 12: It seems that foreign World Cup fans have started a
Speaker 12: love affair with ranch dressing and are expected to try
Speaker 12: and take a lot of it home with them. In
Speaker 12: that Instagram post, the TSA referred to it as a
Speaker 12: new kind of dip diplomacy. I'm Tammy, Trihia.
Speaker 3: Tammy's funny. This is dip.
Speaker 2: They love the ranch. Apparently they ain't got ranches over
Speaker 2: there at the dealer.
Speaker 3: And as Zacho said, the one time he had it,
Speaker 3: it was terrible. Maxwell.
Speaker 6: You're a world traveler, but a lot of us have
Speaker 6: traveled parts of the world. Like when you go to
Speaker 6: other countries and you see their culture, you're like, man,
Speaker 6: what a cool way to live.
Speaker 3: Maybe I should do that more. Maybe I should do
Speaker 3: this more. I get outside.
Speaker 6: Oh man, that they you know, you start naming all
Speaker 6: the things that they do, right, wish the us did,
Speaker 6: and then when they come here, it's just like, I
Speaker 6: don't know about this country, but let's just take.
Speaker 3: The ranch and go home. Yeah, they're like the ranch.
Speaker 4: They are losing their minds.
Speaker 3: So funny.
Speaker 4: They are loving their minds of everything that that we
Speaker 4: do here.
Speaker 13: That's barbecue, BUCkies gas. They're going to BUCkies gas stations
Speaker 13: like it's the taj Mahal.
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, and it's amazing. Hey, pee wee.
Speaker 13: Have you seen those videos of the Japanese guys in
Speaker 13: Texas and the barbecue. No, it's dude, it's so funny.
Speaker 13: There's there's a guy and he's getting interviewed. He's like,
Speaker 13: I don't okay, I was about to do an accent.
Speaker 13: I'm not going to do the accent. But he can't
Speaker 13: speak English very well and he admits it. Anybody. He's
Speaker 13: just so excited and it's it's really fun.
Speaker 5: Actually speaks better English than you think. I mean, he's yeah,
Speaker 5: he was able to describe what like what he's tasting.
Speaker 6: So I know you've been to Japan and I again,
Speaker 6: I saw Elizabeth's trip on Twin City's Live to Japan.
Speaker 6: They worship seven eleven right, they love it everywhere.
Speaker 3: So the idea of like a gas is into a
Speaker 3: convenience story.
Speaker 6: It is probably not that foreign to them, but obviously
Speaker 6: it's a different dynamic here, and they're just geeking out
Speaker 6: over it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, weird.
Speaker 13: There's seven eleven or Family Mart, which is another brand
Speaker 13: out there. It's literally you could from one you can
Speaker 13: see another. There's that many, really Yeah, and it's like
Speaker 13: gourmet quality food.
Speaker 5: I think that's the fascinating they're They're loving BUCkies because
Speaker 5: of just a spectacle that's in there. I think the
Speaker 5: seven elevens in Japan are people are losing their minds because,
Speaker 5: like Maxo is saying, you can get gourmet food in a.
Speaker 4: Gas station and it's like two bucks.
Speaker 2: You can do that here, Holliday, I don't know if
Speaker 2: you guys heard of the rollers, if you or not,
Speaker 2: but you can. I love it, you know, a huge.

Speaker 3: Pizza's elite.
Speaker 5: It is elite on It's basically the same thing. If
Speaker 5: you if you like it on pizza. You gotta like
Speaker 5: it on pasta.

Speaker 3: Yeah, the iPad essentially is the enemy.
Speaker 4: See that sounds nice. I play with the lily Pad.

Speaker 3: All three is amazing.
Speaker 1: Four.
Speaker 2: People were pissed about four because they said it didn't

Speaker 2: First three the saddest thing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, three is a tough one. I was like standing
Speaker 3: up in the theater and crying.

Speaker 2: the movie together in a theater, right. We were on vacation,
Speaker 2: the four of us, the four hockeys, and we sat
Speaker 2: down and by the end of it they had to
Speaker 2: wheel me out of there on a stretcher. I was
Speaker 2: crying so hard I put the muscle from crying. Have
Speaker 2: you ever told a muscle crying? That's how hard I cried?
Speaker 2: Which muscle? All of them? I mean, it's really something, man.

Speaker 2: Who was it that said it's the best film ever.
Speaker 3: Tarantino said, it's the perfect trilogy and he and he
Speaker 3: said he will never watch another Toy story because they
Speaker 3: shouldn't have gone past three because they ended it perfectly.
Speaker 4: But okay, so what was three again? Maybe I have

Speaker 3: you really second, I thought it might Yeah, I thought,
Speaker 3: I thought it got I would have burned the.

Speaker 4: Why are you growling?
Speaker 2: I'm not growing don't There's no growling in SRI.
Speaker 3: I mean, that's all my dad says about it.
Speaker 6: It looks like if if you were a lizard person
Speaker 6: and you were trying to person, well, your friend hot
Speaker 6: Ice Randy probably believes that you are.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, by the way, Smitty Um said, toy story
Speaker 3: five is a plus.
Speaker 12: He's it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, what a relief.
Speaker 2: Smitty ciscl Wow.
Speaker 3: I'm so glad that he saw it. I was on
Speaker 3: the edge of my city ciscl genius. That's funny y
Speaker 3: the oom meter.
Speaker 4: Yeah, how many out of five?
Speaker 16: I think five. I think he gave it five live
Speaker 16: out of five oom five woms. But do them slow,
Speaker 16: that's only three. Go on logs, daddy, this is for you.
Speaker 16: The NBA Draft is tomorrow.
Speaker 3: The Wizards have the first pick, the Wolves have picked
Speaker 3: twenty eight, and everyone is expecting a Yannis trade sometime today.
Speaker 3: According to ESPN. Currently it's on the screen right now.
Speaker 6: The Heat and the Celtics are the two teams most
Speaker 6: aggressively pursuing the honest trade.
Speaker 3: But I mean the rumors say that the Wolves, yeah,
Speaker 3: are hovering my crush.
Speaker 2: Gersey said that, uh, the Wolves had some kid in
Speaker 2: that is expected to be a top twenty pick, so
Speaker 2: he's thinking they may be wheeling and dealing.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: The point guard from Alabama, what's his name?
Speaker 2: Hockey Freddy Prince Jr.
Speaker 4: From Greenbow, from Greenbell, Alabama, Alabata.
Speaker 3: That's right now, this says Wendell Clark, well other Wendors. See.
Speaker 3: The other reason is after you said that you had
Speaker 3: Wendell Clark gorge raved about him, and that might be
Speaker 3: the other thing. Oh see, it's the layers keeping.
Speaker 2: You just can't believe in my rosie.
Speaker 6: You should be mad at me. Then I cast you
Speaker 6: you a couple hundred bucks.
Speaker 3: You would have gotten. You would have would have won
Speaker 3: the part pit. Yeah, you're bad. You would have won
Speaker 3: the whole thing. Well, I might keep my mouth shut,
Speaker 3: that's all right. The Florida Panthers are trading for Brady Kachuck.
Speaker 3: He will be playing with his brother. The Senators will
Speaker 3: receive two first round picks in this draft, which is
Speaker 3: the ninth and twenty fifth overall picks.
Speaker 1: Then they will get a first round pick in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty nine that is top ten protected, and then a
Speaker 1: twenty thirty second round picks.
Speaker 3: Zacho, do we have a pick this year? I think so. No,
Speaker 3: I don't think we do. I think it went for
Speaker 3: what's his face?
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, I don't know. We used done Carson Dally.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, well played, but we don't have a pick
Speaker 1: in the first round. Now your thoughts on Brady, I mean,
Speaker 1: he's great, he is, he's a really good player. And man,
Speaker 1: our first is until like eighty ninth cheapers, right, so
Speaker 1: he would.
Speaker 6: Have been twenty fourth. That's the one that goes to Vancouver. Yeah,
Speaker 6: that's nothing. Yeah, no, and and so he uh yeah,
Speaker 6: they say he's talented. Would have been cool.
Speaker 1: Russell said that the while put in a big offer,
Speaker 1: including apparently Kevin Fallness's head.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they said that he has They would have to
Speaker 2: kill him if they brought him in. Yeah, soul.
Speaker 1: The good news for Fallness he was spared by Brady's
Speaker 1: love for his brother and wanted to go play down there.
Speaker 1: So window wide open there for Florida once again. Obviously
Speaker 1: they just won a Cup. They're looking to go back,
Speaker 1: and they have a second line that can certainly do that.
Speaker 1: But the Wild windows open right now as well, so
Speaker 1: they will probably have to pay a pretty pretty price
Speaker 1: for whoever it is. My hope is Larkin, but there's
Speaker 1: obviously some other names maybe that they can pull in
Speaker 1: here this summer and make this interesting.
Speaker 6: According to Wikipedia, what number is the Wild's first selection.
Speaker 3: In the twenty twenty six NHL drafts?
Speaker 2: One forty eight?
Speaker 3: Didn't Zac just say these three?
Speaker 4: Yeah? Didn't he say it? No?
Speaker 3: I thought I said it. Maybe I'm wrong, I thought,
Speaker 3: Zach Sunday, it's not eighty three, eighty nine, eighty nine?
Speaker 3: I thought, Hey, did you say eighty nine, I did.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I thought he said something like that.
Speaker 6: Then I meet Sauce because I was looking it up
Speaker 6: while he was talking. That's okay, Yeah, we So the
Speaker 6: second rounder that we lost was that the Michael McCarran one.
Speaker 3: Oh, Candy, Yes, I believe.
Speaker 6: So okay, So we lose McCarran in round two when
Speaker 6: he was in round one. So we picked eighty ninth,
Speaker 6: eighty ninth, and then we also gave up ninety four.
Speaker 3: Is that which one? Is that from man Bill garon
Speaker 3: Wheels and Deals?
Speaker 1: That was Columbus? Who was that for Colorado via Minnesota?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Oh that was the Was that the eurocheck one?
Speaker 3: According to Wikipedia? Maybe? So we have one pick this year?
Speaker 1: No, we got there's more round yeah and one thirty seven?
Speaker 1: So how many rounds are there and one just like
Speaker 1: the NFL?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Seven rounds? Well done?
Speaker 2: Yeah, hold out for hope.
Speaker 3: Yeah what hawks said. The one hundred and twenty sixth
Speaker 3: US Open was won by Wendell Clark nailed it. He
Speaker 3: led wire to wire. He's the first guy to do
Speaker 3: that since Martin Kimer did it in twenty fourteen, and
Speaker 3: the crowd was definitely against him. I don't know if
Speaker 3: you watched much of it Ben but man, he was
Speaker 3: he because he's not. He's the least like guy on
Speaker 3: tour pretty much.
Speaker 6: He had the big meltdown at what Okemond Yeah a
Speaker 6: year ago where he trashed a locker and had to
Speaker 6: get anger management and had to pay for the lockers.
Speaker 3: And was going to get dance to hit it.
Speaker 6: So almost first of all, you're in the final group
Speaker 6: with Scotty. Everybody loves Scotty. Everybody wants Scotty to win.
Speaker 6: So every time Wyndham Clark hit the ball, it was
Speaker 6: getting the water on you the holes that were nine
Speaker 6: miles from the water. It wouldn't been yelled getting the
Speaker 6: water or get in the bunker when he had a ball.
Speaker 6: A couple of times he would have a ball laying
Speaker 6: on the green and then it just wouldn't quite hang
Speaker 6: on and it would roll off, and the cheers were
Speaker 6: gigantic Oho, and.
Speaker 3: Even I got to give Scotty Shuffler a lot of credit.
Speaker 6: Scotty never just came out and said, hey, that's trash,
Speaker 6: like you should be more positive than that. He basically
Speaker 6: was like that, that's not my thing. I don't love
Speaker 6: when people are cheering for failure. Right, cheering for one
Speaker 6: person and being quiet for somebody is very different than
Speaker 6: loudly laughing and cheering.
Speaker 3: When Wyndham Clark screwed up, so Scotty basically was like, yeah,
Speaker 3: I can't control the crowd, but that's not my favorite
Speaker 3: thing in the world when they're doing that.
Speaker 2: But it sounds like when Rosie does something good.
Speaker 3: Very similar. The perfect example of it is when he
Speaker 3: sinks that Birdie put on sixteen which wins it, and
Speaker 3: you see the crowd behind him, no joke about four
Speaker 3: people cheers.
Speaker 6: Yeah that Jewelry or Scotty, that is not eruption. The
Speaker 6: whole state of New York shakes.
Speaker 3: And a couple people literally were just sick.
Speaker 6: Yeah they well, and again I'll give credit to Windham
Speaker 6: after the tournament. Wyndham Wyndham is his actual first name, Yes, Mark.
Speaker 3: Quote man.
Speaker 6: They definitely didn't want me to win, so it's not
Speaker 6: like he didn't know this. Yeah, Dury felt it, definitely
Speaker 6: felt it, and they mentioned it about what saw us.
Speaker 6: About halfway through the final round, somebody Tarico basically said
Speaker 6: that there were a handful of.
Speaker 3: People removed from the course because.
Speaker 6: The PGA they kept yelling, so specifically, we're harassing Clark
Speaker 6: to the point where they got kicked out of the tournament.
Speaker 3: So he was dealing with that day.
Speaker 4: Good for him then all day.
Speaker 5: If you know, because obviously golf is something that's in
Speaker 5: your head the whole time. Your performance, like it's it's
Speaker 5: hard enough just to go out there and be in
Speaker 5: a pressure cooker like that situation then and then everybody
Speaker 5: just hates on you.
Speaker 4: I'm actually like happy that he was.
Speaker 6: And there's only one person that knows this, and it's
Speaker 6: it's Wyndham. But man, the front nine, it looked from
Speaker 6: afar on my couch that it was getting to him
Speaker 6: that he was going to collapse because they hated him.
Speaker 6: They were cheering against him. Every time Scotty did anything right,
Speaker 6: they went nuts.
Speaker 3: Get in there, Scotty, Happy birthday, Scotti. They were one
Speaker 3: hundred percent on his side, zero percent. When he blocked
Speaker 3: that one out on sixteen into the fescue, when it
Speaker 3: looked like it was plugged and it looks gonna be
Speaker 3: a bad shot, everybody around him, you could tell, was like,
Speaker 3: this is it. You were right?
Speaker 1: They wanted to and they the crowd erupted. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: some of the social media videos. There was a very
Speaker 1: tall guy that was kicked out. He kept calling the
Speaker 1: guy calling Windham Wendel brilliant.
Speaker 2: Sorry every time he said the words puppy dies, So
Speaker 2: please don't please, don't say sorry please.
Speaker 3: I just like the term eighteen. He was. He was
Speaker 3: in that like primary cut of rough. He was probably like.
Speaker 6: What six seven feet from that rescue Oh no, puppy
Speaker 6: oh oh wow.
Speaker 3: He Al was like a human.
Speaker 4: He does well, you have to die.
Speaker 13: Die.
Speaker 6: Remember all I've said multiple times that when I I
Speaker 6: was eighteen in January of nineteen ninety nine and the
Speaker 6: Vikings lost Nancy Title game and I had tears, Yeah,
Speaker 6: for like, I didn't flat out and cry, but I
Speaker 6: had tears in my eyes, and I felt depressed all
Speaker 6: day and I'm like, this is the last time I'm
Speaker 6: going to get emotionally attached to a sporting event I
Speaker 6: have nothing to do with. And then then it was
Speaker 6: yesterday and I was my heart was racing for five
Speaker 6: hours and it was the most lockdown to a sporting
Speaker 6: event I've been in years.
Speaker 3: It was freaking awesome. It was awesome. God, what was
Speaker 3: the difference You had money on gambling, you had money.
Speaker 4: On it yeah, man, it was the.
Speaker 6: Best Vikings news in a second. This is the Power
Speaker 6: Trim Morning Joe on the Fan.
Speaker 3: From the one eight hundred ask Gary Traffic Center. This
Speaker 3: report is sponsored by NAP Auto part.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry about being all jazzy in here.
Speaker 3: Well, the room's filling, I know, well in a good way.
Speaker 2: William and Brandon Brandon sawallach over there, just made their
Speaker 2: way in from Coronado.
Speaker 3: Ben, are you familiar with a Coronado Island?
Speaker 13: See?
Speaker 3: You know, I heard you say from earlier, and.
Speaker 5: I didn't know that they put a road course out there,
Speaker 5: and they did. Did they do it on the navel?
Speaker 5: They did at North North Island?
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's where they had it. So so a
Speaker 3: little bit of context, a little bit of background.
Speaker 5: The reason why Corey brought that up just because when
Speaker 5: I played, when I played for the Chargers, after I
Speaker 5: signed my deal here, I had a house, a small
Speaker 5: little cottage on Coronado. So like where you guys were
Speaker 5: as you go into North Island, my place was one
Speaker 5: block away.
Speaker 4: From that, Yeah, right on right on third Street.
Speaker 6: This could have been like the State Fair where you
Speaker 6: sold parking spots. You could say Balcony View of the
Speaker 6: race made.
Speaker 4: A why will I love Coronado?
Speaker 3: It is it is the best.
Speaker 4: It is spectacular.
Speaker 9: It's a cool little island.
Speaker 17: The streets are rough, yeah, in the in the car
Speaker 17: going on here for a few miles an hour. But yeah,
Speaker 17: it was a cool course and a great experience. I
Speaker 17: think we need to go back there for sure.
Speaker 6: You know, if if anybody had any balls, they would
Speaker 6: have you race over that giant arching bridge to Coronado Islands.
Speaker 3: Have you go two hundred miles an hour over that bridge.
Speaker 3: Let's see how you really are.
Speaker 9: Well, a full surround catch fans for that.
Speaker 6: Can you imagine? I mean that would be obviously, that'd
Speaker 6: be impossible. It's still just conceptually that would look aweesome. Yeah, awesome. Anyway, Yeah,
Speaker 6: good to see you man. You've been obviously we've had
Speaker 6: you on a couple of times since you won. But yeah,
Speaker 6: since the last time you were in studio. Your life's different.
Speaker 6: It just keeps improving.
Speaker 9: Yeah, growing. I got one answer right on the initials game.
Speaker 3: So correct, Which is the same thing as winning a race? Yeah?
Speaker 9: I mean yeah to me for sure.
Speaker 3: The same kind of pride out of your parents probably Yeah. Similar.
Speaker 17: Yeah, No, it's going to be back though, get me
Speaker 17: back in Minnesota, so hopefully we can get on here
Speaker 17: some more.
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, and a big week for you. We'll talk
Speaker 2: about all that. But first and foremost, Ben, I don't
Speaker 2: know if you've had an opportunity, you didn't know the
Speaker 2: race happens, so you haven't seen it. No, I did
Speaker 2: a huge crash right in front of William. Happened on Saturday,
Speaker 2: and that's a pretty violent hit. Man. You feel like,
Speaker 2: okay this morning.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm good.
Speaker 17: You know, you're kind of sore after some of those
Speaker 17: my shoulder, little sword, you know, yeah, part of it,
Speaker 17: but yeah, it just kind of happens right in front
Speaker 17: of you. And with the street course it's so narrow,
Speaker 17: you don't have anywhere to go, You're limited by the
Speaker 17: cars around you.
Speaker 6: So so how fast were you going during impacts?
Speaker 17: I'd probably say like one hundred and twenty whoa, so
Speaker 17: isn't abrough stop.
Speaker 6: So even if it's a quote man, good crash sounds oxymeronic.
Speaker 6: But even if it's a good one, it's just impossible
Speaker 6: to avoid soreness and bumps and bruises just based on
Speaker 6: the impact alone.
Speaker 3: Pretty much.
Speaker 17: Yeah, I mean with how I hit. So the suspension
Speaker 17: of the car is completely fine. It could have drove,
Speaker 17: but the chassis was kind of in a you shape,
Speaker 17: So the chassis took a lot of the hit.
Speaker 18: Yeah, but you're kind of bounced around like a pinball.
Speaker 18: Yeah you said that that one hurt.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, So what happens then when you because you have
Speaker 5: to get checked out medically, right, So yeah, can you
Speaker 5: take us a little bit behind the scenes of like
Speaker 5: when you crawl out of the car and the medics
Speaker 5: are they're like, what happens after that?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 17: Well they get you in the ambulance and then you
Speaker 17: got to drive all the way around. That track is
Speaker 17: a three three and a half mile track, so it's
Speaker 17: a long ambulance ride.
Speaker 9: You're usually in there with another driver, so it's a
Speaker 9: little awkward at times.
Speaker 17: But yeah, you go to the medical center every time
Speaker 17: you crash if you get out, but if you can
Speaker 17: drive it back to the pits after a crash, you
Speaker 17: don't have to get checked out or anything.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So what is that like, Brandon for you?
Speaker 6: Even if you again know like all right, that's not
Speaker 6: the worst crash in the world.
Speaker 3: I think he's okay.
Speaker 6: But as a as a father, Is it just super
Speaker 6: hard to watch your kid get into a car.
Speaker 3: Wreck and then jump into an ambulance.
Speaker 18: Absolutely impossible. You're not right, He's going faster than all
Speaker 18: of a sudd you know. I was sitting on top
Speaker 18: of the box and you see just the dust, and
Speaker 18: you hear the tires, and you look and and then
Speaker 18: you look at the monitor and you wait for the voice.
Speaker 10: Yeah, here that he's okay.
Speaker 18: And here heard the voice and like I said, you know,
Speaker 18: he said this one hurt yeah, more than your talladega.
Speaker 9: It took me a second to say that.
Speaker 17: I don't know if you were worried, but yeah, knocked
Speaker 17: the wind out of me for sure, kind of.
Speaker 1: Ye.
Speaker 3: So are there so there are there X rays and stuff.
Speaker 5: Let's start to go back to like you just say, oh,
Speaker 5: my shoulders a little sore. Because in the medical tent
Speaker 5: area when you got get checked out, are they doing
Speaker 5: like MRIs X rays? Are they just doing like a physical.
Speaker 17: No more of a physical check. Yeah, So if you
Speaker 17: do need an X ray, they'll send you somewhere else.
Speaker 17: Some medical centers do have the X rays. Yeah, but yeah,
Speaker 17: if you need anything seriously, go to hospital.
Speaker 4: Gotcha?
Speaker 2: Can you explain to me what you remember of seeing
Speaker 2: happening in front of you and how you reacted.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 17: Well, first of all, with the walls, it's really hard
Speaker 17: to see around the corner, just you know, like the
Speaker 17: concrete barriers are pretty tough to see around. So I
Speaker 17: was I think seventh or so and the forty one
Speaker 17: he hit the inside wall and shot to the outside
Speaker 17: with the ninety six, so just two cars were in it,
Speaker 17: and then they hit the fence and bounced back right
Speaker 17: in front of literally everybody. So I mean, you'd know
Speaker 17: where to go, and you're going one hundred and twenty
Speaker 17: catching them who are going maybe twenty.
Speaker 9: At the time.
Speaker 3: Anything happening to them?
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean they moved the entire barrier back like
Speaker 9: five feet.
Speaker 2: They're okay, Yeah, they're goodding Yeah, yep, Yeah that was
Speaker 2: something else.
Speaker 6: So if I got into a car wreck going one
Speaker 6: hundred and twenty, it'd be the greatest story of my life.
Speaker 6: Like I that's but that's just your job now. Yeah,
Speaker 6: it's happened multiple times exactly way worse.
Speaker 2: I mean, you hit the wall in Talladega one time
Speaker 2: going a little faster than that.
Speaker 9: Right, Yeah, it's probably going one eighty or so. Slowed
Speaker 9: down to sixty and seconds.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Wow wow.
Speaker 2: So overall though the weekend out there at Cornado, not
Speaker 2: only was it a success on the track in a
Speaker 2: lot of ways, but off the track, man, I heard
Speaker 2: that almost every trailer sold out a merch at some
Speaker 2: point this weekend. The fans were crazy for this race
Speaker 2: out there. Would you, from what you saw say it
Speaker 2: was an overwhelming success as well?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Absolutely.
Speaker 17: I mean a lot of the market out there. There's
Speaker 17: not a lot of race fans. I think the stat
Speaker 17: was seventy five ish of people that was their first race. Wow,
Speaker 17: So that's that's good for the sport. The bridge was
Speaker 17: backed up every day going there. We had to go
Speaker 17: all the way around and down the island. So it
Speaker 17: was a huge success for southern California.
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 3: Sweet Yeah.
Speaker 2: And of course, because of the crash, you finished back
Speaker 2: in thirty six because the car wouldn't get going again,
Speaker 2: So that that's a that's a drag. But it's been
Speaker 2: a very successful season. I mean all the way back
Speaker 2: to when we saw you in Charlotte, even with the rain,
Speaker 2: you ran what fourth I believe in that race, and
Speaker 2: then the next week at Nashville Super speedway. You ran third,
Speaker 2: and then you go to Poconon and then you go
Speaker 2: to this track. And I'll tell you, man, say what
Speaker 2: you will about NASCAR racing and people just making fun
Speaker 2: because you just turn left. You couldn't have four more
Speaker 2: different tracks than you've had in the last four races. Yeah.
Speaker 9: Absolutely.
Speaker 17: I mean that's the one thing about NASCAR is the
Speaker 17: diversity of tracks. You know, you go to a half
Speaker 17: mile short track that's heavy breaking, and then you'll go
Speaker 17: to Bristol that's another half mile that's you know, thirty
Speaker 17: degrees of banking and really high speed, and then you
Speaker 17: got mile and a half mile tracks, road courses, super speedways.
Speaker 17: So they do a good job mixing it up and
Speaker 17: keeping it different.
Speaker 5: What happens So when you when you crash out, does
Speaker 5: your does your team just automatically pack up even though
Speaker 5: there's still race to be watched. I mean, do you
Speaker 5: guys just like pack up and leave or do you
Speaker 5: guys just stick around and like watch the end of
Speaker 5: the race just for research purposes?
Speaker 17: No, So we have a debrief every Tuesday, so all
Speaker 17: the teams that at JGR will get together and.
Speaker 9: Do a debrief. So that's when we kind of talk.
Speaker 17: About that, but you know they get a head start
Speaker 17: and go to the plane first, they pack up.
Speaker 9: Yep.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's it's a long day, right, I mean, there's
Speaker 2: a long long weekends, no doubt about it. So where
Speaker 2: do you guys go next?
Speaker 17: By the way, we got a Sonoma, Northern California, which
Speaker 17: is another road course, road course, one of my favorites.
Speaker 9: We got third there last year. Sweet Yeah, yeah, cool.
Speaker 2: That's crazy. How long did it die? And by the way,
Speaker 2: I I know you spend a lot of time in
Speaker 2: the simulator getting used to these tracks. Was there any
Speaker 2: way to do that for this track? You just went too? Yeah.
Speaker 17: So at first they kind of had a rough copy,
Speaker 17: like no visuals, the walls were completely blank, so it's
Speaker 17: kind of hard to learn.
Speaker 9: You didn't have a sense of where you're at.
Speaker 17: And then once they got you know, a better track
Speaker 17: map and started updating it, we really started to use it.
Speaker 17: And I'd say two hundred laps there on a three
Speaker 17: and a half mile course, so there.
Speaker 9: Was a lot of prep, one of the most and
Speaker 9: it sucks.
Speaker 17: You know, when you're running good, you're getting better throughout
Speaker 17: the race, and then you wreck and you're like, well,
Speaker 17: all that prep's gone, the next one.
Speaker 2: On to the next one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a pretty decent like hill or whatever you
Speaker 1: had to go down, like the cars were like almost
Speaker 1: jumping off.
Speaker 3: Oh where was it like driving off of that?
Speaker 17: Yeah, so you were Turn one was probably one of
Speaker 17: the trouble turns, i'd say of the course, and you're
Speaker 17: coming off of their sideways and your sideways all the
Speaker 17: way until you get all four tires off the ground.
Speaker 9: So that was new for me and kind of everybody.
Speaker 17: Yeah, well, going probably one hundred and twenty ish plus
Speaker 17: right there.
Speaker 2: Wow, So my goodness, man, it was really cool.
Speaker 17: It was a lot of fun as a driver, you know,
Speaker 17: getting airborne and then and then you have to break
Speaker 17: so you can't lock up the tires getting into one downhill.
Speaker 2: What are weekend? Man? And of course now you're here
Speaker 2: back in Minnesota because it's Special Olympics Week and you're
Speaker 2: a USA Games ambassador for the Special Olympics. Man, that's
Speaker 2: really really great. So glad you're involved in that. Tell
Speaker 2: me how you're going to be involved.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 17: So I'm gonna be in the Thrivant fan zone at

Speaker 17: Special Olympics flag football game.

Speaker 2: is involved as a gold sponsor for the Special Olympics
Speaker 2: as well, and that's Brandon Swallach. Your your dad is

Speaker 2: so much going on with Starky, and I have a
Speaker 2: lot of things I want to talk to you about

Speaker 18: We have over two hundred volunteers that are going to
Speaker 18: be participating, and we've been involved with Special Olympics since
Speaker 18: twenty twelve and taken care of over twenty five thousand
Speaker 18: athletes with variates.
Speaker 10: We've been in with the best.
Speaker 18: You know, we'll be seeing, you know, a couple hundred
Speaker 18: this week and today I'm going to play dad. Go
Speaker 18: down and be with William and you guys, got any
Speaker 18: insight tips for him for color commentary?
Speaker 2: Well PA's down the hallway, so well him down there too,
Speaker 2: And whatever he tells you do the opposite, I think
Speaker 2: is what we would say.
Speaker 10: This week's a lot of fun.
Speaker 18: It's just, you know, we we all work hard, play hard,
Speaker 18: but this brings joined happiness.
Speaker 2: Brandon, can I ask you real quickly because I know
Speaker 2: some and I'm I'm lucky to have some of the
Speaker 2: new technology coming from Starky, But I want to ask
Speaker 2: you a question. Just because I read a headline, I
Speaker 2: think I know the answer, but I want you to
Speaker 2: tell me from your perspective. You said in an interview
Speaker 2: the ear is the new risk. Tell me what you
Speaker 2: meant by that.
Speaker 18: Well, what we've done since twenty eighteen, we were the
Speaker 18: first to bring in integrated sensors and AI into hearing aids.
Speaker 18: I know when you know I've been in Starky for
Speaker 18: thirty two years down. I was never going to get
Speaker 18: into hearing aids, right, was going to do this, but
Speaker 18: you know, as summer intern job and thirty two years later,
Speaker 18: you know, keep advancing with the technology. I hired a
Speaker 18: new CTO out of the Bay Area and we've turned
Speaker 18: the hearing aid from a single purpose device to multipurpose device.
Speaker 18: So not only just for what it does, you know,
Speaker 18: for amplification and communication, but making it a health device too.
Speaker 10: So with the sensors, yes, you could track steps.
Speaker 18: We have fall detection because you know the population people
Speaker 18: that we work with prone to fall. Uh somebody follows
Speaker 18: it alert three people via text. But so you know,
Speaker 18: we're really you know, you use the year for the
Speaker 18: heart rate, temperature, all sorts of health devices. And you know,
Speaker 18: we're making like I said, the stigma around hearing hearing aids.
Speaker 10: I want to get rid of that. You know, hearing
Speaker 10: aids are cool. It's there, it's cool technology. What we're doing.
Speaker 10: It gives people an edge.
Speaker 4: It's yeah, that's remarkable.
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, I love that. By the way, I
Speaker 2: never thought about that, the fall technology, all of that stuff. Man,
Speaker 2: that makes sense. Why not have all of that in
Speaker 2: the year. If if you can basically put that kind
Speaker 2: of technology into anything this day, why not put why
Speaker 2: not put it in with the hearing aid? That makes
Speaker 2: perfect sense.
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's uh, we just have to It's it's complex.
Speaker 10: We have to make complex simple because.
Speaker 18: We're dealing with very very small, tight spaces and there's
Speaker 18: like three hundred and ten components inside the products that
Speaker 18: we provide. So it takes a couple of years, but
Speaker 18: you know, we're leading in the industry or just to
Speaker 18: keep doing what we can through technology help help people
Speaker 18: hear better, live better.
Speaker 3: Can it track steps? Because my watch tracks steps, but.
Speaker 14: When I'm playing poker for like ten hours, sometimes it
Speaker 14: says that I took six hundred steps because I folded
Speaker 14: that much. I'm worried if I get the hearing aid
Speaker 14: that keeps track of my steps that if I headbang
Speaker 14: too much, it's going to look like I ran a marathon. No,
Speaker 14: that's pretty cool though, man, A true health monitor in
Speaker 14: your ear.
Speaker 18: We started like a path when we first did it,
Speaker 18: just like anything, people like, what are you doing?
Speaker 10: You know nobody's gonna use it for steps?
Speaker 13: I get it.
Speaker 3: Buy a watch, right, How accurate can it be things
Speaker 3: like that.
Speaker 18: Well, you have to start somewhere, and there is a
Speaker 18: there's a population and demographic wark and obviously you know
Speaker 18: we're dealing with the aging population and people that need
Speaker 18: more and more.
Speaker 10: Of what we're building and designing.
Speaker 18: And you know, it's a fun job because you just
Speaker 18: get to try the what if?
Speaker 3: What if we do this?
Speaker 10: You know, take the risks, take the chances, and create
Speaker 10: new things.
Speaker 2: Just say you started as an intern, By the way.
Speaker 10: I did you really?
Speaker 9: Wow?
Speaker 18: Yeah, in nineteen ninety four, I was going to go
Speaker 18: second year of college in Minnesota. Uh, transferred up and
Speaker 18: my thirty it was uh two days ago, it was
Speaker 18: on Saturday. It was my thirty second year at Starkey
Speaker 18: and thirty two skip years later, I should say, so, yeah,
Speaker 18: thirty two years.
Speaker 2: Wow, that's really sunning. And by the way, to get started,
Speaker 2: just go on starky dot com. That's s T a
Speaker 2: r k e y starky dot com. You can take
Speaker 2: an online hearing test right there and get started on
Speaker 2: your journey as well. Because so many, I mean people
Speaker 2: of all ages are wearing headphones all the time and
Speaker 2: you have no idea what damage you might have done
Speaker 2: to your hearing if you have a ringing years is
Speaker 2: tonight is tenantis, Yeah, tenetus. There's a lot of things
Speaker 2: that can be done for you, especially out there for
Speaker 2: the our veteran population, a lot of people struggling with
Speaker 2: hearing loss and such like that. Go on starky dot
Speaker 2: com and try that online hearing test. It's it's really Uh,
Speaker 2: it's helped me so much. I got to tell you,
Speaker 2: for what I do for a living, my hearing matters
Speaker 2: as much as anything, so I appreciate it. That's a
Speaker 2: lot of fun. It's been good, good, very helpful.
Speaker 1: You mentioned that aging demographic, but it is getting younger
Speaker 1: because of those headphones, right, I mean, everybody's hearing music
Speaker 1: louder and more consistently louder than ever before.
Speaker 18: Yeah, it's a no pun intended here, but it's a
Speaker 18: quiet pandemic because one in six teenagers.
Speaker 10: Have a hearing loss already.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 18: Really, yes, exactly what you were just saying because of
Speaker 18: the noise concerts here, AirPods, headphones, you name it. So
Speaker 18: you know, we have our sound gear products. So we're
Speaker 18: working now, which is a growing business in uh, you know,
Speaker 18: hearing protection, protect that healthy hearing because you need it.
Speaker 18: You're you're right, you take it for granted. When people
Speaker 18: have hearing loss. It's like, I'm not going to die
Speaker 18: from it. You know, it's okay, I'll get by. But
Speaker 18: you're feeding the brain. You're that's your fitness for the brain,
Speaker 18: because out of the five census, what's the brain.
Speaker 10: You're hearing, so it keeps them active.
Speaker 18: And one of the things that you see with hearing
Speaker 18: loss is people start getting you know, disconnected, they get
Speaker 18: lonely early on set of Alzheimer's.
Speaker 10: You know, there's been a lot of reports, the Lancet
Speaker 10: Report and.
Speaker 18: Others the last couple of years come out and you know,
Speaker 18: healthy hearing can you know, having that can onset the
Speaker 18: early sets of demension Alzheimer's.
Speaker 2: Wow, I gotta believe too. With what you do, William,
Speaker 2: I bet a lot of our veteran NASCAR drivers have
Speaker 2: a ton of hearing loss because they used to wear
Speaker 2: nothing inside those race cars and it's very loud inside
Speaker 2: a race car.
Speaker 17: Yeah, absolutely, I mean you know now today all the
Speaker 17: drivers where sound you're hearing protection in the race car
Speaker 17: to communicate with the teams. But Starkey has a lot
Speaker 17: of good relations with all the old racers Richard Petty.
Speaker 3: A lot of.
Speaker 10: We took care of all.
Speaker 17: Yeah, that's all those guys definitely hurting from it. And
Speaker 17: it's kind of funny. It's only their right ear. Sometimes
Speaker 17: it has more of a hearing loss than the left
Speaker 17: because of the exhaust on the right side of the car.
Speaker 4: Oh no, kidding, Wow.
Speaker 5: So is the technology such that when you're in the car,
Speaker 5: the modern the modern technology in the modern cars, like,
Speaker 5: is it noise canceling for a lot of the engine
Speaker 5: noise and you're just hearing the comms? Like how does
Speaker 5: how do you differentiate between the sound of the car itself?
Speaker 3: And then like you're pit crew talking to you in
Speaker 3: a spotter.
Speaker 17: Yes, I mean you can troll the volume on your
Speaker 17: radio so you can have it loud quiet.
Speaker 9: You know, if you don't want to hear them at all,
Speaker 9: you can just turn it off. But you want to
Speaker 9: hear the engine a little bit.
Speaker 17: You need to hear the RPMs of wind to shift,
Speaker 17: and you know, you can tell a lot by the
Speaker 17: motor and by the end of the straightaway if you
Speaker 17: had a good corner, a good exit, So you don't
Speaker 17: want to take that.
Speaker 18: Away from the ex Our algorithms are also picking up speech.
Speaker 18: I mean it's identifying the speech using AI detect the
Speaker 18: environmental and the background noise and then soften the.
Speaker 10: Rumbles per se, but picking up speech.
Speaker 2: Then I've got these sound gear phantoms from these guys, okay,
Speaker 2: And I can't tell you how it works. I can't
Speaker 2: even imagine, but I just know everything else around me
Speaker 2: is lower. But I can hear you talking like you're
Speaker 2: standing right beside men. They obviously know how it works.
Speaker 2: I have no idea, but I'm going to tell you
Speaker 2: that's exactly when we were at the race. Zacho and
Speaker 2: I were at the races. He could talk to me
Speaker 2: and he had to tell me to speak up because
Speaker 2: I was talking so quietly because I thought I was
Speaker 2: talking very loud. It's the craziest thing, man, It's really something.
Speaker 5: Well, I didn't talk to you guys because whenever we
Speaker 5: do for Twin City's Live, whenever we do live shows,
Speaker 5: my if B. I know, the IFB I think is
Speaker 5: probably the lowest technology from what you guys are talking about,
Speaker 5: but like it is hard to hear producer in my ear,
Speaker 5: and then I hear the crowd noise like behind me
Speaker 5: and around me. I'm like I got to crank up
Speaker 5: this damn. I'd be always as high as it can go.
Speaker 5: And then the producer says something to me and the
Speaker 5: blast my ear drum and I'm like, ah, this is
Speaker 5: a mess.
Speaker 10: Oh we could take care of you.
Speaker 3: Come on it.
Speaker 2: Yeah all right, see, thank you big wow. Well then,
Speaker 2: and if you could teach me how to drive one
Speaker 2: hundred and eighty miles prod, it'd be greatest.
Speaker 9: Well, I'd love that you can do that a straight line?
Speaker 9: Just fine. You gotta turn.
Speaker 2: The turning is the hard party, I no doubt about it. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I know again William and brandonon Walach are here with us,
Speaker 2: and can the number eighteen Toyota for Joe Gibs. Racing
Speaker 2: is Starky racing. Thank you for stopping by, man hanging around,
Speaker 2: We're gonna hang out. This is where we got some
Speaker 2: Viking stuff to talk about, and so much more so
Speaker 2: stick And.
Speaker 6: There's breaking news that's not breaking news on ESPN. It's
Speaker 6: kind of a strange breaking news thing. We'll discuss what's
Speaker 6: kind of going on after this.
Speaker 3: It will be big break news. But it's weird to
Speaker 3: call this breaking news, right.
Speaker 5: Yeah, right now, because I saw the big banner pop
Speaker 5: up and said breaking news and and red and then
Speaker 5: this is what they so
Speaker 6: We'll explain it after this power tripple from Morning Joe
Speaker 6: on the Fan ban from the one a
