Speaker 1: Sean Merriman. What's up? Guys? Were back again with another
Speaker 1: lights out podcast with me Seawan Merriman And Uh, guess what.
Speaker 1: There's NASCAR time NASCAR season. Uh, Normally, in a in
Speaker 1: a typical situation, I'll probably get out to seven eight
Speaker 1: tracks a year. Uh. Last year's you know, we all
Speaker 1: were sitting at home and couldn't do anything, so uh
Speaker 1: going to the tracks was impossible. But I'm excited and
Speaker 1: can't wait for the season to break up and start
Speaker 1: this thing up. Bringing in the day Greg Guarding. Man. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know what I think about Gray is I met
Speaker 1: him when he was a kid. He was literally called
Speaker 1: the kid on the Cannon series. Uh, and I was
Speaker 1: hearing about him winning these races fifteen years old. Fifteen
Speaker 1: is some change, and they said, hey, man, his kid
Speaker 1: is is winning. I'm like, where is he? And I
Speaker 1: look at him I found him and literally it was
Speaker 1: a kid fifteen years old on the Cannon Series. I've
Speaker 1: been driving since he was three or four, and a
Speaker 1: lot of time, a lot of experience behind the wheel
Speaker 1: and and just a flat out grinder and a lot
Speaker 1: of confidence here. So I can't wait to bring in
Speaker 1: Gray Man. It's gonna be asking the conversation, Gray, where
Speaker 1: are you right now? You're down in Daytona? Right, No, No,
Speaker 1: we're actually not. Um, I'm running the Axfinity Series, so
Speaker 1: this is actually my shop right here, Jimmy means racing.
Speaker 1: Uh right, Actually my Daytona car isn't here yet. It's uh,
Speaker 1: it's at NASCAR getting ready to roll. But everything behind
Speaker 1: me is all the cars I'll be racing this year. Um.
Speaker 1: I think that that's our Phoenix car. There's our road
Speaker 1: course car. But we'll be heading down there on Thursday
Speaker 1: for Daytona. Was just about to say, when you guys
Speaker 1: gonna pack up the head down? That's right, because you're
Speaker 1: you're not that far away anyway. No, No, we're our
Speaker 1: shop is I think it's about it's about six and
Speaker 1: a half seven hours, so it's not too bad. I'm
Speaker 1: sure the haulers have to have to be there by
Speaker 1: Friday morning because we practice Friday evening. So we'll get
Speaker 1: in the car and leave Thursday. And that that's what's
Speaker 1: kind of cool about Daytona is like we we normally
Speaker 1: fly everywhere. But the coolest thing is like, ever since
Speaker 1: I was a little kid, me and my dad and
Speaker 1: grandfather would actually get in the car and drive to Daytona. Uh,
Speaker 1: and we just kind of kept it as a little
Speaker 1: road trip, you know, for the boys. You know. So
Speaker 1: I'm guessing that you're not staying till midnight eleven o'clock
Speaker 1: breaking down the equipment because I've been on that side
Speaker 1: of it too. No, no, no, I will if I
Speaker 1: need to, but I prefer not to. But um, now
Speaker 1: these guys they gotta handle man. There. I'm really excited
Speaker 1: about um obviously you know the Panini deal. The car
Speaker 1: looks unbelievable. Um, but just being back full time and
Speaker 1: and getting back in the group things, you know, like
Speaker 1: in Daytona second there last year, I think I think,
Speaker 1: I think we'll we'll have a lot to show this
Speaker 1: year and I'm excited about it to kick off. So
Speaker 1: tell so tell me about that with the Panini because
Speaker 1: I just did a trading car assigning for them some
Speaker 1: months ago, and uh, the guys hooked me up over there.
Speaker 1: So tell me, tell me a little bit about the
Speaker 1: partnership you got going on with them. Yeah, man, no,
Speaker 1: that's cool, No, I Um, Panini has just been such
Speaker 1: a great partner. You know. Uh, two years ago we
Speaker 1: kicked off our relationship. It was kind of crazy, you know,
Speaker 1: just a spear of the moment. We didn't have anybody
Speaker 1: on the car at Bristol, and my dad got in
Speaker 1: touch with Jason obviously from Panini, and the relationship just
Speaker 1: built from there more not just business, but you know,
Speaker 1: me and Jason, I mean I remember at Bristol like
Speaker 1: we were are being at the racetrack playing cornhole, like
Speaker 1: we were able to give Jason the full effect of
Speaker 1: of NASCAR the way we do it, you know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're no, we're not like the big teams, you know,
Speaker 1: We're we're kind of the bullnoses. We get out, we
Speaker 1: work and we have to kind of work for everything.
Speaker 1: But uh, just so so thankful and fortunate for Panini. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, they gave me an opportunity. Actually, at the
Speaker 1: end of twenty nineteen, during the summertime, I told Jason
Speaker 1: and everybody, and I was like, hey, I need an
Speaker 1: engine for for Tyl Degan. If we get this engine,
Speaker 1: I know I can give myself a chance to win.
Speaker 1: And we lost by six ft finished second. You know,
Speaker 1: got a lot of TV times. So, like I said,
Speaker 1: it's it's amazing brand to be a part of. You know,
Speaker 1: now we're in our third year together, and this time
Speaker 1: we're full time. I got a full time ride again,
Speaker 1: and it's just I don't know, it's just like a
Speaker 1: fresh start. You know. Last year was a tough year
Speaker 1: obviously for everybody, all of us, you know, um so
Speaker 1: to break in the new year having my Panini colors
Speaker 1: and and and having you know, wearing this shirt allowed
Speaker 1: and proud to go to Daytona. So we're excited for
Speaker 1: another season together. You know, I think the first time,
Speaker 1: maybe I've met you indirectly or I kind of ran
Speaker 1: into years at the cann because that's why I started
Speaker 1: out at. So I got into the NASCAR around two
Speaker 1: thousand seven, two thousand and eight, and I remember, I
Speaker 1: don't know if it could have been around two thousand
Speaker 1: twelve or thirteen, somewhere around there. I think I ran
Speaker 1: into you one of the can In tracks is one
Speaker 1: of the short and the short tracks my friend cane
Speaker 1: in uh all two thousand and thirteen, fourteen thirteen. That's
Speaker 1: when it was Yeah, man, that's crazy. So how how
Speaker 1: has that been? Man? Because it's it's crazy. I was
Speaker 1: when I was there, and it would tell me about
Speaker 1: some kids, some young kids that was winning all these
Speaker 1: damn races. And I remember I started to look for
Speaker 1: you out of one of the tracks and I wanted
Speaker 1: to kind of run into you. Um, because that's why
Speaker 1: I started to really get into NASCAR and and understand, um,
Speaker 1: you know, kind of the short tracks and how certain
Speaker 1: things going, and then you know, climbing the ranks as
Speaker 1: you are right now with the Exfinity. Man, how's that
Speaker 1: whole process been from then? Man, it's been. Um, it's
Speaker 1: been a journey, to say the least, you know, I mean,
Speaker 1: the the amount of time and effort. You know that
Speaker 1: I've been really trying to work on my craft ever
Speaker 1: since I was, you know, nine years old. Is you know,
Speaker 1: just getting reps, practicing doing everything I can personally, mentally
Speaker 1: and physically to be at the top of my game.
Speaker 1: And and I think the coolest part for me though
Speaker 1: is I don't know. You know, I feel like everybody
Speaker 1: goes through this, but you always feel like you're always
Speaker 1: gonna have downs, right, You're always gonna have people say
Speaker 1: now that yeah, he's too young, he's not ready yet.
Speaker 1: So I feel like every every year that I moved up,
Speaker 1: I had to hit the reset button and and go
Speaker 1: out and prove people that I could get it done.
Speaker 1: And and I'm the type of person, you know, if
Speaker 1: you say I can't do something, I can promise you
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give everything I have to go get it
Speaker 1: done and prove that I can do it. So, um,
Speaker 1: my career has been a whirlwind. You know. I went
Speaker 1: to Cup when I was eighteen years old, which is crazy,
Speaker 1: but it's one of those deals. You know. It wasn't
Speaker 1: a big team, but it was something I couldn't turn down.
Speaker 1: So the amount of of guys that I've been able
Speaker 1: to race again, especially in a couple level, at such
Speaker 1: an early age, I felt like that's why I feel
Speaker 1: more confident in my ability today is because I've really
Speaker 1: been in the trenches, man, like having to grind it out.
Speaker 1: You know, different rides here and they're trying to keep
Speaker 1: you know, staying in sport, and it's a tough business.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm being I'm being dead honest. There's been
Speaker 1: times that I've kind of looked at myself in the
Speaker 1: mirror and like, how how long can I keep doing this?
Speaker 1: You know, you you you feel like nothing can go
Speaker 1: your way, and but at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: you gotta keep grinding and you keep working. So for me,
Speaker 1: every time I move up, I you know, start with
Speaker 1: a new team or whatever that may be, it's time
Speaker 1: to go out and prove it and and show people
Speaker 1: that I can get it done, because at the end
Speaker 1: of the day, you're gonna have doubters. And I felt
Speaker 1: like those doubters over the years have you know, kind
Speaker 1: of fueled my my fire and my edge um to
Speaker 1: just be on my a game. So it's it's been
Speaker 1: a heck of a journey. But I'm one of those people,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't like to live and regret, you know,
Speaker 1: good or bad decisions that you know, I've had to
Speaker 1: make in my career. I look back on my career
Speaker 1: and I think that's what's molded me as the driver
Speaker 1: in the in the person that I am today. All
Speaker 1: the things I went through along the way. You know,
Speaker 1: I remember that was that was one of the talks
Speaker 1: because when your name came up when you're winning on
Speaker 1: a cannon canon level, they it was a lot of
Speaker 1: talk about you're not being ready, right and so now
Speaker 1: I can see a shift in your confidence due like
Speaker 1: you can't you say it one time? You wanted to
Speaker 1: be the greatest right of all time. You wanted to
Speaker 1: be the best at to do it, And I'm like, man,
Speaker 1: you right now it just seemed like, I mean, I
Speaker 1: don't know if you want to say it to night,
Speaker 1: but to me it sounds like you're sticking it to
Speaker 1: all the damn hater because I remember to talk then,
Speaker 1: you know, six seven years ago and too now I
Speaker 1: was like, hey, I'm trying to be the best you man,
Speaker 1: that that confidence which has been outstanding, No, I appreciate
Speaker 1: it now. That's I mean, that's the thing man like
Speaker 1: growing up, you know, one thing I'll give my parents
Speaker 1: and and the way my career path was, I never
Speaker 1: stayed in a division long enough to like dominate, right like,
Speaker 1: as soon as I was of age to move up
Speaker 1: and race against older guys, better better, better drivers, and
Speaker 1: and in teams I was moving up. So I feel
Speaker 1: like I was almost like the like the new kid
Speaker 1: on the block type of thing every year that I
Speaker 1: moved up. But like I, like I said, it was
Speaker 1: so good to be able to see new drivers. See
Speaker 1: once I got to the highest level. When you're racing
Speaker 1: against you know, Jimmy Johnson, like my heroes, Jeff Gordon, Um,
Speaker 1: you just learned so much for him, even if even
Speaker 1: if they're laughing sometimes, you know, you you get to
Speaker 1: see those guys and really learned from them. And um.
Speaker 1: But yeah, man, I don't I don't mind being the
Speaker 1: the kid. Uh the kid is what kind of my
Speaker 1: nickname was back in the day. Or the doughnut kid
Speaker 1: that too, I didn't. I didn't like the donut kid.
Speaker 1: How now we Uh it was funny. But my my
Speaker 1: sponsor for five straight years was Krispy Kreme, and our
Speaker 1: relationship it was a great partnership. You know, wish them
Speaker 1: all the best and and still love the obviously I
Speaker 1: love those donuts. But you know my thing was every
Speaker 1: year or every every year we go to the racetrack,
Speaker 1: every single race, we'd stopped the closest um Krispy Kreme,
Speaker 1: and we'd hand old teams, even our rivals, we've had
Speaker 1: them donuts, you know, with a smile, Hey, good luck
Speaker 1: this weekend. So that donut donut boy, donut kid kind
Speaker 1: of nickname is like, yeah, it was funny then, but
Speaker 1: I still have fans come up to me. You're like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: you're the donut boy, and I'm like, well, I mean,
Speaker 1: yeah I am when I was mean, but you know,
Speaker 1: I'll take it. And that's what makes it cool. Though.
Speaker 1: How has all your expectations change? Right? Because yeah, not
Speaker 1: to cut you off, there there there it is, right,
Speaker 1: there's doughnut boy right here. Oh man, good. It's it's
Speaker 1: crazy because I feel old, you know, to even call
Speaker 1: you a kid. But I do remember, you know, being
Speaker 1: at the track and they were like, you know this
Speaker 1: kid just one, he's like fifteen. I said, get the
Speaker 1: hell out of here, no way, yeah, no, it's uh no,
Speaker 1: it was. It was cool. I look back on the
Speaker 1: cane in days two and and I just look back
Speaker 1: and I'm like, the guys that I was racing against
Speaker 1: every weekend and week out, those guys are those guys
Speaker 1: are on the Cup stage. I mean me and Chase Ella.
Speaker 1: I'll never I'll never forget me and Chase Ella. I
Speaker 1: was I was fifteen. They had the NASCAR next. A
Speaker 1: lot of people don't know this, but I was in
Speaker 1: the NASCAR next. I was fifteen. I was with you know,
Speaker 1: Chase Elly, Ryan Blainey, Corele Joy, Um, Daniel Swarrett. I
Speaker 1: mean we're talking, you know, this is the future of
Speaker 1: the sport. And here here's us kids. I'm fifteen years old,
Speaker 1: don'tly have my license yet. And I got you know,
Speaker 1: eighteen nineteen year old Chase Elliott, Ryan Blaney. You know,
Speaker 1: I was kind of the kid they picked on because
Speaker 1: I was. I was the young buck, you know. And
Speaker 1: I looked back like when we were doing all those
Speaker 1: events together, Um, you know, just goofing off in the
Speaker 1: hotel room, like all of us boys, just goofing off
Speaker 1: being typical teenagers, laughing, just carrying on, having a blast.
Speaker 1: And Chase just wins the championship. You know, you see
Speaker 1: these guys and and and I'm just really fortunate to
Speaker 1: be part of that group and and to grow up
Speaker 1: with those those type of guys, and and and you
Speaker 1: know the thing is, my career path obviously, is a
Speaker 1: little bit different than their's. You know, they they kind
Speaker 1: of blossom and went on to different things. But I
Speaker 1: really had to, you know, grind it out. Not saying
Speaker 1: that they didn't, but I really love seeing that. You know,
Speaker 1: I grew up around those guys and see they're having
Speaker 1: success and and I and I want to do the same.
Speaker 1: I want to raise some toe to toe for championships
Speaker 1: and wins and uh. It's just cool though, because those
Speaker 1: are the group the group, a group of guys that
Speaker 1: I was messing around with fifteen sixteen years old, Like,
Speaker 1: you know, guys were looking at us. Oh yeah, that's
Speaker 1: Bill elliott Son, and you're Grey Gold and Blaney, all
Speaker 1: of us just goofing off. Man. It's just it's pretty
Speaker 1: cool to see the success they're having. And I wish
Speaker 1: I'm nothing the best in the future, you know, It's
Speaker 1: it's nothing like that. I don't care how old you are.
Speaker 1: When you come in with those guys, you always look
Speaker 1: up to him in a way. But then you know,
Speaker 1: those those same guys who you look at as you know,
Speaker 1: idols and and and stars are the same people you're
Speaker 1: competing against. Has has that support been the same Because
Speaker 1: I know you mentioned Jimmy Johnson. I know and I've
Speaker 1: known Jimmy for a long time. He's always took under
Speaker 1: the young guys under his when he always showed love
Speaker 1: like you'll never hit Jimmy coming, you know, kind of
Speaker 1: be a certain type of way because the guy he
Speaker 1: thinks is coming up in the ranks. Was was any
Speaker 1: of those guys like that towards you, like where they
Speaker 1: just kind of took you under the wing. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: know you said the best name. I mean, Jimmy Johnson,
Speaker 1: Like you know, I grew up watching him. He was,
Speaker 1: you know, my idol, and I'll never forget. I was
Speaker 1: at I was in Atlanta. This is my it's my
Speaker 1: second Cup race ever. And I went up to Jimmy
Speaker 1: and I was kind of star struck a little bit
Speaker 1: to go up to him because I'm like, man, you know,
Speaker 1: we're about to practice and this is my second race.
Speaker 1: Like I'm just I'm the new kid again and I
Speaker 1: haven't had a whole lot of track time with with
Speaker 1: the big dogs. So I go up to Jimmy, and
Speaker 1: you know, I was kind of expecting a short answer.
Speaker 1: I just saw him. I saw him in the garage
Speaker 1: and and and I kind of ambushed him, like I
Speaker 1: was like wait, waiting to see him because I knew
Speaker 1: he was coming from his motor home. Well, I approached
Speaker 1: him and and the craziest thing, I didn't really know
Speaker 1: he knew my name or anything or watched me. He's like, hey,
Speaker 1: what's up, Gray, And just like me and you were talking,
Speaker 1: just me and him are chatting it up, you know,
Speaker 1: getting ready to go practice. And I'm like, yo, Jimmy,
Speaker 1: you know this is I've never been to Atlanta before.
Speaker 1: Man I said, uh, you know, I I if you
Speaker 1: got a couple of corners for me, I'd really appreciate it.
Speaker 1: And he literally took me through a whole lap, just
Speaker 1: just me and him, just like we're doing, just chatting
Speaker 1: it up. Took me through a whole lap of you know, hey,
Speaker 1: you need to lift here if you're tired, when your
Speaker 1: tires were out, and you know, maybe run the top. So,
Speaker 1: you know, you look at guys like that and to
Speaker 1: think that this guy just took out five minutes of
Speaker 1: his time to help the new rookie myself, you know,
Speaker 1: at Atlanta and he's you know, he's he's a seven
Speaker 1: time champion, you know, at two times days like you know,
Speaker 1: he's he's he's the goat. You know you put him
Speaker 1: on that pedestal, and I just thought it was so
Speaker 1: cool to to really get to interact with my idol um,
Speaker 1: Jimmy Johnson and and and just see the type of guy,
Speaker 1: you know. He he's one of those champions that always said,
Speaker 1: you know, growing up, me and my dad always talked
Speaker 1: about I always just want I envied him so much.
Speaker 1: I mean, he he's the family man, you know, good
Speaker 1: looking guy, he got the sponsors, you know, and he
Speaker 1: goes out and win. So um, I definitely appreciate that
Speaker 1: moment and I'll never forget it. And and I wish
Speaker 1: you know, Jimmy nothing but the best race and there's
Speaker 1: any cars man he Uh, I could tell he's having
Speaker 1: fun and I think he's just had an unbelievable career
Speaker 1: and I appreciate everything he's done for our sport. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: you're right right on the same path. Man. I've I've
Speaker 1: watched you for a long time. And what are you
Speaker 1: hoping to happen this weekend? I mean, what what if
Speaker 1: your team and the strategy and what's the mindset going
Speaker 1: into this weekend? No, I mean I'm I'm I'm very excited.
Speaker 1: And once again, you know, uh, to kind of fill
Speaker 1: you in about my deal this year with Bannini and
Speaker 1: full time I'll be racing for Jimmy means racing. I
Speaker 1: don't know, if you know, if a whole season, whole season, ye,
Speaker 1: number fifty two car and um, it's it's you know,
Speaker 1: I don't know, I've really enjoyed it. You know. Jimmy,
Speaker 1: he's uh, he's quite a character. You know. I don't
Speaker 1: know if you know this. He's a past driver, He's
Speaker 1: been in the sport, you know, for a long time. Owner.
Speaker 1: I mean, I put him in the classes. You know,
Speaker 1: he's a pioneer of our sport. I mean, this is
Speaker 1: all this guy knows and and and that's that's the
Speaker 1: type of people I want to race. Four. When I
Speaker 1: drove for Bobby Dotter in two thousand nineteen, you know,
Speaker 1: I had I had a lot of drive there because
Speaker 1: I knew I knew he's a racer. I love being
Speaker 1: around racers. And and that's the first thing when I
Speaker 1: came in and sat down with Jimmy about me possibly
Speaker 1: driving for him. Um, is he's just a role racer,
Speaker 1: you know. I mean you can tell by this show.
Speaker 1: He's had this shop since I think nineteen seventies something
Speaker 1: or nineteen eighty and he still races out of this shop.
Speaker 1: So a lot of history here. And I'm really excited
Speaker 1: what my self can bring to the table as driving
Speaker 1: for him, you know, just a little bit, maybe a
Speaker 1: different flavor. And I like our combination. You know, you
Speaker 1: got the old school guy, the the guy that used
Speaker 1: to race in the Cup Series, is owned his own
Speaker 1: team forever, and he's bringing in the you know me,
Speaker 1: the new guy, and and I just like that combination.
Speaker 1: And I think what we can do this year will
Speaker 1: shock a lot of people. And and I think going
Speaker 1: into this weekend, we just need to have a good,
Speaker 1: solid race, put ourselves in a position. We we got
Speaker 1: an e CR motor, which we're very excited about. And
Speaker 1: you know, I feel like I've done a good job. Yep.
Speaker 1: That'll be under the hood, which you know is a
Speaker 1: big help because last year I had a e c
Speaker 1: R when I finished second. I finished second with e
Speaker 1: c R within the Panini car at Talladega. So I
Speaker 1: just think, man, you know how you know how Daytona is.
Speaker 1: You gotta stay out of the rex, but you also
Speaker 1: gotta put yourself in position, you know, me and my career.
Speaker 1: Chief have been talking a little bit, just trying to,
Speaker 1: you know, make sure that we do all the right
Speaker 1: things to uh get a good result. But the main,
Speaker 1: the main thing is, I really think I can put
Speaker 1: myself in position I'd really love to give Panini and
Speaker 1: Jimmy means racing to win and man, that'd be a perfect,
Speaker 1: perfect start of the year. So that's what we're gonna
Speaker 1: be shooting for. That's awesome. So me just being how
Speaker 1: I am in my personality, I can't wait to see
Speaker 1: things get extremely aggressive, those that last stretch to me,
Speaker 1: That to me is now that the funniest part is
Speaker 1: I I tell people all the time it's like, you know,
Speaker 1: we might run, especially Daytona. Daytona is the worst. I
Speaker 1: think it's actually worse than Talladega because you know, Daytona
Speaker 1: is a little bit it's it's it's a lot tighter
Speaker 1: than Talla Talladegas. Why, Like we're four wide, that's easy.
Speaker 1: But when you're three four wide at Daytona, I mean
Speaker 1: we're talking, I could reach out and touch the guy
Speaker 1: next to me, like you know, it's it's it's tight.
Speaker 1: But I swear every year when the spotter says ten
Speaker 1: laps to go, all of us drivers, we just take
Speaker 1: our helmets off, we throw our brains right out the door.
Speaker 1: It's just I mean, the moves were making. I'm thinking
Speaker 1: there's still ten laps to go, and then I mean,
Speaker 1: I I can't say much because I'm just as bad
Speaker 1: as any of them. But you know, hey, when it
Speaker 1: gets down to the nitty gritty, you know we're talking
Speaker 1: Daytona here, you'll do. I mean, I wrecked my mom
Speaker 1: to win at Daytona. I mean, there's a lot of
Speaker 1: a lot of history there, so trust me, the aggression
Speaker 1: is going to be at a at all time high
Speaker 1: when when he gets about ten minutes ago. But I'm
Speaker 1: excited about it. Hey, that's a good thing. I'm getting
Speaker 1: chills thinking ab I'm getting you're telling me. I'm sitting
Speaker 1: there getting hyped it myself and also piste off because
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna make it this year. But a great man,
Speaker 1: good luck down there. Uh, come out clean and if
Speaker 1: you gotta get a little you know, aggressive towards the
Speaker 1: end of that thing to pull it out, man, go
Speaker 1: ahead and do your thing. You got it, brother, Hey man,
Speaker 1: thanks for having me on. Man, I really appreciate your time.
Speaker 1: You got it man, Thank you, appreciate you, Yes, sir,
Speaker 1: Thanks Bro, Thanks guys for tuning into another lights Out
Speaker 1: podcast with me, Swan Marriman and great Gulden Man. That's
Speaker 1: that was. That was dope for me. That was really
Speaker 1: cool for a few things, for a few different reasons.
Speaker 1: I remember him being a kid in fifteen years old
Speaker 1: at the tracks and uh, you know, people were just
Speaker 1: saying he wasn't ready, he wasn't ready. And to see
