A new study 0:03:02.840 --> 0:03:05.280 provides sobering information on the impact of head trauma on 0:03:05.440 --> 0:03:08.320 NFL players. I don't know if you've seen new information 0:03:08.400 --> 0:03:11.200 or not, but this is brand new. According to Tammy Trio. 0:03:11.000 --> 0:03:14.799 Researchers at Boston University and Mass General Brigham say professional 0:03:14.840 --> 0:03:17.080 players are four times more likely to die of a 0:03:17.120 --> 0:03:21.640 neurodegenerative disease than the general population. Among the nearly twenty 0:03:21.680 --> 0:03:25.040 thousand former NFL players studied the length of their career 0:03:25.080 --> 0:03:28.120 played a role. Those with five plus seasons doubled the 0:03:28.200 --> 0:03:32.800 risk of contracting als, Parkinson's disease or dementia. I'm Tammy Trihio. 0:03:32.919 --> 0:03:35.400 Are you guys contacted about this stuff from time to time? 0:03:35.920 --> 0:03:39.800 Do they as that not something that the NFL reaches 0:03:39.800 --> 0:03:41.560 out to you guys about? He anybody the union? Does 0:03:41.600 --> 0:03:43.360 anybody reach out to you about this stuff. 0:03:43.200 --> 0:03:44.440 About being a part of the research. 0:03:44.480 --> 0:03:50.720 Yeah, yeah, no, I'm well, okay, kind kind of okay. Yeah, 0:03:50.760 --> 0:03:53.280 I don't really know how much the I don't know 0:03:53.280 --> 0:03:54.920 how much the information is shared. 0:03:55.080 --> 0:03:55.360 Got it? 0:03:55.440 --> 0:03:55.760 Okay. 0:03:55.800 --> 0:03:59.200 So we have a really like a great program for 0:03:59.280 --> 0:04:02.080 all the retired NFL players that you can go to 0:04:02.600 --> 0:04:06.880 I don't know, call it seven or eight major hospital systems, 0:04:06.960 --> 0:04:10.680 unfortunately Mayo's not one of them, and you can get 0:04:10.680 --> 0:04:13.560 your brain body They call it the Brain Body Assessment. 0:04:14.080 --> 0:04:15.800 I think that's what they officially call it. 0:04:15.840 --> 0:04:20.320 And it's basically like the Mayo Executive Physical really and 0:04:20.360 --> 0:04:22.800 they do it for free and they. 0:04:22.680 --> 0:04:24.279 Put you up. It was sweet. I went down to 0:04:24.320 --> 0:04:26.480 two lane. Oh my god, it was awesome. So you're 0:04:26.480 --> 0:04:28.800 supposed to watch every five years or something like that. 0:04:28.960 --> 0:04:31.000 Anyway, they go through the whole battery of tests, plus 0:04:31.000 --> 0:04:33.360 all these brain scans, plus all this cognitive testing. 0:04:33.440 --> 0:04:34.520 It's kind of exhausting. 0:04:34.600 --> 0:04:36.839 It's like it's two and a half full days, three 0:04:36.880 --> 0:04:40.120 days of testing, and you are mentally exhausted because you're 0:04:40.120 --> 0:04:44.599 going through all the cases. The thing is, I don't 0:04:44.640 --> 0:04:47.800 know if they share that, you know, like if they 0:04:48.120 --> 0:04:50.159 I mean, it would be fine with me. I suppose 0:04:50.240 --> 0:04:52.200 if it was privately shared with the research group. But 0:04:52.240 --> 0:04:54.240 they said like, hey, you know, if I'm not like 0:04:54.240 --> 0:04:56.000 a name, I'm just a number, and it's like here's 0:04:56.440 --> 0:04:58.440 you know, reference number, blah blah blah blah blah. 0:04:58.480 --> 0:05:00.360 These are his test scores. This is what you have. 0:05:01.240 --> 0:05:01.680 I mean, it's. 0:05:01.600 --> 0:05:03.360 Possible they do that, but I don't think I've ever 0:05:03.400 --> 0:05:05.760 been directly asked to be a part of like a 0:05:05.760 --> 0:05:06.839 brain study. 0:05:08.440 --> 0:05:09.200 Interesting, there you go. 0:05:09.360 --> 0:05:09.640 Cool. 0:05:09.880 --> 0:05:13.680 Well, I guess they're they're continued to keep an eye out, 0:05:13.760 --> 0:05:15.640 and that's a good thing, right, we need Well, the. 0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:17.320 Thing is like I want to know, I guess I 0:05:17.400 --> 0:05:19.200 want to do. I want to drill down even further 0:05:19.240 --> 0:05:23.120 into I wish they would tell us what are the 0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:27.200 key factors for that? Is it just head trauma? Is 0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:29.359 it just repeated head blows? Or is it lifestyle? 0:05:30.000 --> 0:05:30.160 Oh? 0:05:30.240 --> 0:05:31.360 Yeah, yeah, right right. 0:05:31.440 --> 0:05:33.640 You know, because there was there was a there was 0:05:33.680 --> 0:05:38.479 a a theory back in the day that these guys 0:05:38.480 --> 0:05:40.880 that would have brain issues and just overall health issues 0:05:40.880 --> 0:05:42.159 and a lot of a lot to do with the brain. 0:05:43.200 --> 0:05:47.320 Steroids were involved, street drugs were involved, you know, along 0:05:47.360 --> 0:05:50.440 with along with repeated head blows. Like, is it just 0:05:50.560 --> 0:05:53.400 one thing or is it a combination of a lot 0:05:53.400 --> 0:05:56.800 of lifestyle choices? Because you know now that we know 0:05:56.880 --> 0:06:00.000 what we know now about concussions and recovery is completely 0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:02.160 different than it was thirty forty years ago. 0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:06.480 Okay, so what is it? Is it just one thing 0:06:06.560 --> 0:06:08.159 or all of it? 0:06:09.480 --> 0:06:12.560 Yeah, that's good questions. I don't know. We'll keep an 0:06:12.600 --> 0:06:14.520 eye on. If I know more, I'll that, you know, 0:06:14.560 --> 0:06:20.080 I promise. Also in the news today, well there's seventy 0:06:20.080 --> 0:06:22.000 five different things. But this is an interesting thing and 0:06:22.400 --> 0:06:24.760 something I've never heard of before. Have you guys ever 0:06:24.760 --> 0:06:26.880 heard of transient global amnesia? 0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:28.719 No? No, either. 0:06:29.000 --> 0:06:32.760 But Katie Kirk has a journalist, Katie Kirk, is opening 0:06:32.800 --> 0:06:35.480 up about a health scare She experienced last month, known 0:06:35.480 --> 0:06:37.320 as transient global amnesia. 0:06:37.480 --> 0:06:40.320 Cork detailed the incident where she lost her memory in 0:06:40.360 --> 0:06:43.480 a sub stack post titled A day I'll never remember 0:06:43.800 --> 0:06:46.040 what began as a regular day and asked been turned 0:06:46.040 --> 0:06:48.479 into a medical mystery after she was taken to the 0:06:48.520 --> 0:06:52.040 hospital with no recollection of basic questions such as the 0:06:52.160 --> 0:06:55.080 year or who the president is. Doctors initially began a 0:06:55.120 --> 0:06:58.040 stroke protocol, but after a clean MRI and some tests 0:06:58.160 --> 0:07:02.640 ruled that out, the journalist was diagnosed with transient global amnesia. 0:07:02.800 --> 0:07:05.400 According to the Cleveland Clinic TG, it is a rare 0:07:05.440 --> 0:07:08.359 medical condition in which you experienced a sudden episode of 0:07:08.400 --> 0:07:11.720 memory loss, but it typically resolves on its own. I'm 0:07:11.720 --> 0:07:12.480 Mark Mayfield. 0:07:12.800 --> 0:07:16.480 Weird, very weird. Strange. Yeah, it's so strange. 0:07:16.840 --> 0:07:20.560 Never heard of that. No, No, I've had a stroke protocol. 0:07:24.920 --> 0:07:28.720 Causes and the triggers include sudden immersion in cold or 0:07:28.760 --> 0:07:31.040 hot water and sexual intercourse. 0:07:31.560 --> 0:07:35.400 Okay, so I don't know what Katie was doing. 0:07:38.600 --> 0:07:41.400 I mean, because I'll tell you what, man, I've done 0:07:41.960 --> 0:07:45.360 just two of those cold water immersion things, like what 0:07:45.360 --> 0:07:45.840 do you call those? 0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:46.320 Cold plunge? 0:07:46.400 --> 0:07:48.880 Yeah, cold plunge.

Tommy's on his way out, Marcus 0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:41.720 Cheryl's just walked in, and I'm hearing that our guest, buddy, 0:10:41.720 --> 0:10:43.600 see you, tell me love everybody, see you later. I'm 0:10:43.640 --> 0:10:46.600 hearing that our guest, our NASCAR friend, williams so Watach 0:10:46.640 --> 0:10:48.439 is already there with us right now. So a lot's 0:10:48.480 --> 0:10:51.199 going on. We'll bring in Marcus Cheryl's in a moment. 0:10:51.240 --> 0:10:53.400 But William, Sir Watach, how are you, my friend? 0:10:53.480 --> 0:10:55.520 Good to see you. 0:10:55.679 --> 0:10:57.679 Welcome back to the party at morning show. Ben Leber's here, 0:10:57.679 --> 0:10:59.840 cast a thousands, we're all here and uh glad to 0:10:59.840 --> 0:11:01.800 have be honest always thinking. So our friends, it's Starky, 0:11:01.800 --> 0:11:03.640 and don't forget to go to starky dot com and 0:11:03.840 --> 0:11:05.200 you can get a free hearing tist on there and 0:11:05.200 --> 0:11:07.880 find out more about all their great ways to make 0:11:07.920 --> 0:11:11.640 your life better and make your hearing better as well. William, 0:11:11.679 --> 0:11:13.840 we're gonna get right to the point. I watched you 0:11:14.000 --> 0:11:16.720 marching down Pitt Lane. I wasn't sure if you were 0:11:16.720 --> 0:11:18.560 gonna go fight somebody or what, but I know you 0:11:18.600 --> 0:11:20.920 had some words with your teammate after he spun you 0:11:20.960 --> 0:11:22.600 into the infield. You had to go to the infield 0:11:22.640 --> 0:11:24.800 care center. Looks like you're one hundred percent fine. Tell 0:11:24.840 --> 0:11:27.000 me about what happened, and tell me about your conversation 0:11:27.080 --> 0:11:28.240 with Brent Cruz on pit row. 0:11:28.960 --> 0:11:29.240 Yeah. 0:11:29.240 --> 0:11:30.880 Well, first of all, we had a really good race 0:11:30.920 --> 0:11:32.360 and a really good car. 0:11:32.679 --> 0:11:34.800 Within the race, we had to go to the back 0:11:34.840 --> 0:11:37.880 from a pit stop penalty in the second stage, and 0:11:37.880 --> 0:11:40.560 we made it all the way back to fifth middle 0:11:40.640 --> 0:11:43.960 of the third stage, so I would say we had 0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:45.800 a car capable of at least the top three or 0:11:45.840 --> 0:11:48.439 maybe winning, So that was a good shot to get 0:11:48.440 --> 0:11:51.320 some points back. And then just had an incident with 0:11:51.360 --> 0:11:55.199 the a teammate and you know, kind of a racing incident, 0:11:55.240 --> 0:11:59.240 and it just was the worst time for that to happen, 0:11:59.280 --> 0:12:02.439 you know, because of our situation. So now we're a 0:12:02.480 --> 0:12:05.600 little farther out of the playoffs, so we got some 0:12:05.679 --> 0:12:08.439 good work to do coming up with the next four races. 0:12:09.720 --> 0:12:12.880 But yeah, obviously had a conversation with him. 0:12:12.880 --> 0:12:16.360 After the race, and we had meetings about it on Monday, 0:12:16.400 --> 0:12:19.640 and so it's all smoothed over and we should. 0:12:19.360 --> 0:12:19.959 Be ready to rip. 0:12:20.200 --> 0:12:23.000 Interesting, Ben, did you hear that after the races over 0:12:23.040 --> 0:12:25.200 they get back to the shop and they're teammates, so 0:12:25.240 --> 0:12:27.800 they got everybody got pulled them together, make sure everything's okay. 0:12:27.840 --> 0:12:29.760 I'm looking at the incident on my screen right now, Ben, 0:12:29.760 --> 0:12:31.680 if you want to turn around. Look, he just got 0:12:31.679 --> 0:12:34.320 into the left rear quarter panel of you, right below 0:12:34.360 --> 0:12:37.319 the the unreal signature there, and just just tapped you 0:12:37.320 --> 0:12:39.840 a little bit. Was it a rookie mistake on his part? 0:12:39.920 --> 0:12:41.719 Is that what you would say? 0:12:43.320 --> 0:12:45.400 I mean, he is a rookie, but he knows how 0:12:45.400 --> 0:12:50.080 to drive these cars very well. You know. 0:12:50.520 --> 0:12:53.920 So when you get close to somebody's rear bumper, it's 0:12:53.920 --> 0:12:56.559 called packing air, so you take air off the rear spoiler, 0:12:56.840 --> 0:12:59.160 so that's less rear down force, so you lose the. 0:12:59.080 --> 0:13:01.760 Rear of the car. And that was happening. 0:13:01.800 --> 0:13:03.560 So I had to, you know, get out of the 0:13:03.559 --> 0:13:05.560 throttle a little bit to try and save it. And 0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:08.320 then you know, obviously once he taps you in your sideways, 0:13:08.360 --> 0:13:12.560 it's kind of kind of over. So that's exactly what happened. 0:13:12.559 --> 0:13:15.360 It all happened, you know, pretty fast, and expect that 0:13:15.800 --> 0:13:17.600 he was a little better than me on that restart, 0:13:18.240 --> 0:13:20.280 and I think he could have passed me cleanly. But 0:13:20.520 --> 0:13:21.720 unfortunately I got together. 0:13:21.920 --> 0:13:24.600 It is interesting because and I we'll move away from 0:13:24.600 --> 0:13:27.240 this in a second, but Ben, you saw you started 0:13:27.240 --> 0:13:29.280 to lose the rear end a bit because he was, 0:13:29.679 --> 0:13:31.560 as you just said, affecting the air on your race 0:13:31.559 --> 0:13:33.200 car because he was so close to you. So even 0:13:33.240 --> 0:13:35.440 before he tapped, you were already getting squarely Because. 0:13:36.320 --> 0:13:38.880 Yes, yeah, I know, airs crucial, especially on the my 0:13:38.960 --> 0:13:41.520 and a half tracks where we're going super fast and 0:13:42.559 --> 0:13:45.199 you know we're not drafting there. Technically you can kind 0:13:45.200 --> 0:13:46.319 of get a little bit of a pull on a 0:13:46.360 --> 0:13:49.520 straight away, but the air is more effective in the corner. 0:13:51.000 --> 0:13:53.439 It's we call it dirty air. So you want to 0:13:53.440 --> 0:13:56.360 stay out of somebody somebody's wake. The guy who's in 0:13:56.400 --> 0:13:57.640 front of you, you want to stay out of his wake 0:13:57.720 --> 0:14:00.240 that he punches through the air at you. 0:14:01.360 --> 0:14:03.040 Always good to talk to you again. 0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:04.800 I am curious about this though I know that you 0:14:04.800 --> 0:14:07.320 don't have to get into like the personal things that 0:14:07.360 --> 0:14:09.840 happen with teammates, but I am curious just from a 0:14:09.920 --> 0:14:14.319 setup standpoint. You have two cars, same team, two different drivers. 0:14:15.000 --> 0:14:16.160 Is it how. 0:14:16.000 --> 0:14:19.920 Different are the cars on race day because you have 0:14:20.280 --> 0:14:23.960 the same engine, the same manufacturer. I'm sure the same 0:14:24.320 --> 0:14:27.920 kit setup, but you guys probably have different preferences and 0:14:28.000 --> 0:14:30.480 maybe how you drive, so like how much different are 0:14:30.520 --> 0:14:33.320 the cars that you're driving versus your teammate. 0:14:34.440 --> 0:14:37.880 Yeah, So going to a newer track like Chicago Land 0:14:38.360 --> 0:14:41.160 this year, it's not new. Last time we race it 0:14:41.200 --> 0:14:43.960 was twenty nineteen, but it's new ish for all the 0:14:44.080 --> 0:14:46.560 rule updates and new packages for the cars that NASCAR 0:14:46.640 --> 0:14:53.200 put out. You know, based off of sim drivers, all 0:14:53.200 --> 0:14:56.440 four of us probably, that was probably the most different 0:14:56.560 --> 0:15:00.760 race we were at. Setup wise, where else that we've 0:15:00.800 --> 0:15:03.920 been to, like three four years in a row. We're 0:15:03.920 --> 0:15:07.080 all pretty close. We all share notes. Everybody can see 0:15:07.080 --> 0:15:08.000 what everybody's running. 0:15:09.080 --> 0:15:09.600 At that point. 0:15:09.640 --> 0:15:13.320 It is down to driver preference and you know, crew 0:15:13.400 --> 0:15:16.840 chief preference and your sim model that you run, so 0:15:17.680 --> 0:15:20.000 you know, if the sim is running a little bit tight, 0:15:20.400 --> 0:15:23.400 which is not turning well with the front tires, you 0:15:23.440 --> 0:15:28.360 can probably get a little behind and you know, unload 0:15:28.400 --> 0:15:31.120 at the racetrack and practice a little loose because it's 0:15:31.120 --> 0:15:32.880 not right. So you have to make sure that's right 0:15:32.960 --> 0:15:35.200 before you go to the track because we don't get practice, 0:15:35.200 --> 0:15:37.800 so we have to use a simulator and all that 0:15:37.840 --> 0:15:39.920 simular time can sometimes not. 0:15:39.880 --> 0:15:41.680 Be worth it if the tire's not skilled. 0:15:41.760 --> 0:15:43.800 Right, So quick follow up to that. 0:15:44.520 --> 0:15:48.760 So, I'm assuming you guys have two individual separate spotters 0:15:48.760 --> 0:15:50.640 for you and your teammate. But is it the same 0:15:51.280 --> 0:15:53.720 crew chief that is communicating with both of you guys 0:15:53.760 --> 0:15:55.800 or you guys have separate crew chiefs that are giving 0:15:55.840 --> 0:15:59.560 you different opinions and options during the race. 0:16:00.360 --> 0:16:01.720 Yeah, no separate crew chiefs. 0:16:01.760 --> 0:16:04.920 So four separate crew chiefs, four separate spotters for all 0:16:05.280 --> 0:16:10.840 four drivers within jg R. Yeah, so that gives each 0:16:10.880 --> 0:16:13.960 driver a different strategy and you know, two tires, four tires, 0:16:14.000 --> 0:16:14.800 whatever you want. 0:16:14.640 --> 0:16:15.440 Pit, don't pit. 0:16:17.360 --> 0:16:19.800 Yeah, so that, you know, it makes it interesting, and 0:16:20.440 --> 0:16:22.720 each crew chief kind of has their own style and 0:16:22.960 --> 0:16:25.480 strategy of what they like to do in a race. 0:16:26.040 --> 0:16:28.520 I didn go go ahead, I'm sorry you mentioned the 0:16:28.920 --> 0:16:31.280 you know, the bad timing obviously for that rec because 0:16:31.320 --> 0:16:33.680 of the well, the new chase. I guess when I 0:16:33.680 --> 0:16:37.960 even calling that playoffs anymore? That situation, where where are 0:16:38.000 --> 0:16:40.360 you standing there? And what are the next couple of 0:16:40.400 --> 0:16:43.520 weeks look like as the regular season winds up? 0:16:44.520 --> 0:16:45.520 Yeah? 0:16:45.720 --> 0:16:48.560 I think so we're thirteenth, top twelve, make it in 0:16:48.680 --> 0:16:50.880 from the end of the year, So we're right there. 0:16:50.960 --> 0:16:52.880 I think we're there forty ish points out. 0:16:52.920 --> 0:16:56.240 Going into that race, we were maybe twenty points out, 0:16:56.280 --> 0:16:57.960 and you know, if we got a top five there, 0:16:58.000 --> 0:17:01.360 we're probably going to be ten fifteen points out. 0:17:01.360 --> 0:17:02.400 So we were gaining on it. 0:17:04.560 --> 0:17:06.800 So now these next few weeks are gonna be really 0:17:06.840 --> 0:17:10.000 important trying to get stage points. You know, obviously good 0:17:10.000 --> 0:17:13.720 finishes and you know, the people that we are racing 0:17:13.800 --> 0:17:16.680 in the chase, which just so happens to be my teammate, 0:17:18.520 --> 0:17:20.880 you know, it really depends on how their week goes 0:17:20.880 --> 0:17:21.280 as well. 0:17:22.240 --> 0:17:25.480 There you go again, Williams Wallach's Starky Racing and Joe 0:17:25.520 --> 0:17:27.680 Gibbs Racing. As you head into racing, where are you 0:17:27.680 --> 0:17:29.560 guys going this weekend? What's the track like and how 0:17:29.600 --> 0:17:31.720 do you feel about going into this last race before 0:17:31.720 --> 0:17:32.240 the chase. 0:17:32.800 --> 0:17:34.720 Yeah, so we're going to Atlanta this weekend. It's a 0:17:34.720 --> 0:17:35.560 mile and a half track. 0:17:36.680 --> 0:17:39.240 Our motors are going to be restricted, so we're gonna 0:17:39.240 --> 0:17:44.000 be drafting there. It's basically like Daytona on steroids, just 0:17:44.000 --> 0:17:49.040 because it's smaller. Everything happens twice as fast. It's actually 0:17:49.040 --> 0:17:50.880 really good racing. It's probably some of the best racing 0:17:50.960 --> 0:17:54.760 on the calendar. But you know we've been decent there. 0:17:55.000 --> 0:17:56.760 We can be better. We spend a lot of time 0:17:56.760 --> 0:18:00.720 with the simulator trying to prepare for this race. And yeah, 0:18:00.920 --> 0:18:02.960 so I think we're gonna go capitalize on what we can. 0:18:03.200 --> 0:18:05.240 Go get him. Man, we appreciate it. William so Waltach 0:18:05.240 --> 0:18:07.560 again is our guest Starkey dot Com.
