Speaker 1: and so we can't wait to have Bubba on and
Speaker 1: talk to him and get the emotions of what was
Speaker 1: what was going through his mind yesterday. But first o
Speaker 1: Jo prayers up for coach Prime. Coach Crime announced today
Speaker 1: he was a survivor of bladder cancer. He had a
Speaker 1: tumor removed off of his bladder and now that he's cured.
Speaker 1: If there's any takeaway from today's press pett confidence as
Speaker 1: a prostate cancer for the survivor myself, Oh Joe, it
Speaker 1: would be let's take a listen to what Coach Brian
Speaker 1: had to say.
Speaker 4: Yes, man, everybody get checked out, because if it wasn't
Speaker 4: for me getting tested for something else, they wouldn't have
Speaker 4: stumbled up on this and make sure you go to
Speaker 4: the get the right care. Because without wonderful people like this,
Speaker 4: I probably wouldn't be sitting here today because it grew
Speaker 4: so expeditiously. I could say, but please get yourself checked out.
Speaker 4: Especially African American men. We don't like going to the doctors.
Speaker 4: We don't like nothing to do with a doctor.
Speaker 2: You know that.
Speaker 4: So I'm not just talking to the brothers. I'm talking
Speaker 4: to my Caucasian brothers, my Hispanic brothers, my Asian brothers, everybody,
Speaker 4: and my sisters. And that's all y'all get checked out,
Speaker 4: because it could have been a whole another gathering if I.
Speaker 5: Had m.
Speaker 1: Uh, yeah, we knew Coach Prime was dealing with something.
Speaker 1: He didn't come show up to his camps that he
Speaker 1: was supposed to put on. He didn't show up to
Speaker 1: the spring things. So there's a lot of things going
Speaker 1: on that led people to believe that there was something
Speaker 1: seriously going on with Prime. We didn't know what it was.
Speaker 1: We just knew at a later day in time, the
Speaker 1: way that he's always been, he's going to be very forthcoming.
Speaker 1: He's going to tell you exactly what was going on,
Speaker 1: how long it's been going on, and what what the
Speaker 1: treatment or whatever he needed to do to get taken
Speaker 1: care of, you know, when he had the you know
Speaker 1: old Joe, Remember he had the amputation, he had his
Speaker 1: half some of his toes removed, and he had you know,
Speaker 1: and he was in dire straits in that situation, and
Speaker 1: he came, you know, once he started feeling better, he
Speaker 1: came and he told exactly what was happening. And so
Speaker 1: I always felt that I didn't know what was going on,
Speaker 1: but I knew it was serious because a lot of
Speaker 1: time I would send him text and I just get
Speaker 1: like one or two words back, same thing, kind of
Speaker 1: like what happened at Jackson State. So I knew it
Speaker 1: was serious, and I just left it alone. I said, now,
Speaker 1: when he's in a good and a better place and
Speaker 1: a good frame of mind, he'll be back the time,
Speaker 1: joking and laughing. And when and but when he's not
Speaker 1: joking and laughing, I know it's something serious because he's
Speaker 1: that type of guy. He's a very fun, fun loving,
Speaker 1: very outgoing guy. I'm just glad they caught this in time,
Speaker 1: they were able to catch what it was, remove it
Speaker 1: and get him all treated up. And uh, I'm glad
Speaker 1: coach Prime. You know, everybody here at night cap is
Speaker 1: senting our thoughts and prayers to you and glad you're
Speaker 1: feeling better, Bro. But uh, yeah, guys, go get it, go,
Speaker 1: get it done. Go get go, get go, get tested
Speaker 1: because O Joe, I'm a I'm a prostate cancer survivor,
Speaker 1: and prostate cancer is one of the more curable if
Speaker 1: detected early. That's my early screening and detection. It's very
Speaker 1: you know obviously if it runs in your family, but
Speaker 1: you know, go get tested.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: And you know I I'm in a high percentile. My
Speaker 1: father had My father died died of cancer. You know
Speaker 1: his brothers. He had two other brothers that died of cancer.
Speaker 1: So I'm already in that high percentile. Yes, So I
Speaker 1: didn't wait till the age they said we'll start getting
Speaker 1: tested at age forty. Nah, Bro, I started getting tested
Speaker 1: like at thirty three, thirty four, and they were able
Speaker 1: to detect it. End up getting a colonoscopy and finding
Speaker 1: out that I had it, and I got it treated,
Speaker 1: diagnosed in twenty sixteen, got treated in twenty seventeen, and
Speaker 1: I've been cancer free ever since, o Jo. But when
Speaker 1: you got the news that coach Prime had really had
Speaker 1: gone through something really, really serious. What was the first
Speaker 1: thoughts to go through your mind?
Speaker 5: Well, obviously I said prayers right away. I said prayers
Speaker 5: right away for him, understanding that I knew it was
Speaker 5: something serious for the simple fact that there was some things
Speaker 5: that he missed that he couldn't attend it. I know,
Speaker 5: if he couldn't attend certain events that they had planned
Speaker 5: for Colorado, I knew something was wrong. So finding the
Speaker 5: news out to day, I'm glad he did get it
Speaker 5: checked out in time. And listen, Prime been through his
Speaker 5: trials and tribulations. As he always says, m h every
Speaker 5: time God is using him as that messenger you know
Speaker 5: able to to give, give give fellas u as he
Speaker 5: as he said, all ethnicity is an opportunity to give
Speaker 5: that message out. Go get checked, Go get check, take yourself,
Speaker 5: take care your body and make sure make sure you okay.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you're right. Oh yo.
Speaker 1: The I'm sure I'm gonna share my story, but I'm
Speaker 1: gonna let I'm gonna let Prime have his right now.
Speaker 1: This is about Prime the day this week, but a
Speaker 1: later daying time down the road. I'll share some things
Speaker 1: that I've gone through that. Very few people know with
Speaker 1: that being said. But like I said, I mean and
Speaker 1: to see him out fishing and then he got his
Speaker 1: black you know, got that bag with him and and
Speaker 1: you know he said, man, I didn't sleep. And you know,
Speaker 1: once you get to that age, he and I, you know,
Speaker 1: timing out basically the same age is that, man, it's
Speaker 1: hard to get a great, nice sleep because you go
Speaker 1: to the bathroom so much. I try to cut myself
Speaker 1: off drinking drinking water at a certain period of time,
Speaker 1: but sometimes, you know, when I'm doing nightcap, my throat
Speaker 1: get parts. Then I you know, I end up drinking
Speaker 1: more than I should. And I know I'm gonna be
Speaker 1: up four or five times the night. It's gonna it's
Speaker 1: gonna interrupt my sleep. But guys, go get checked out.
Speaker 1: And he's absolutely right just speaking.
Speaker 2: You know. Growing up, first of all, we didn't have
Speaker 2: health care.
Speaker 1: So unless there was an absolute medical emergency you fall
Speaker 1: dead on the floor or something like that, you weren't going.
Speaker 2: To no doctor. Yes they were. They were gonna give
Speaker 2: you a home remedy.
Speaker 1: Your stomach hurt, whatever it is, Drink some ginger red
Speaker 1: or baking soda or something. You're not going to the
Speaker 1: you gotta gash, hey, go get some cob web. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, you're gonna put some paper towel and we're
Speaker 1: gonna we're gonna do it like that, but you're not
Speaker 1: going to the doctor. And so we kind of build
Speaker 1: up a fear of the doctor. But now, I think,
Speaker 1: knowing what we know, now, you know, everybody's trying to say, well,
Speaker 1: you know, shut service and repairs are the same thing.
Speaker 2: No, they're not. Service and repair is not the same thing.
Speaker 1: One is proactive, the other is reactive. Now I'll let
Speaker 1: you geniuses and that said there, I thought they were
Speaker 1: the same thing and had the crying emojis. I would
Speaker 1: let you geniuses figure out which one is proactive and
Speaker 1: which one is reactive. So, in other words, when you
Speaker 1: go get checked out, and I'm just what time is
Speaker 1: basically saying you're being proactive as opposed to being reactive,
Speaker 1: which means now is there you don't know they didn't
Speaker 1: catch it in the early the early stage. Just so
Speaker 1: hopefully it looks seems like they caught this in an
Speaker 1: early enough stage that he was able to get you know,
Speaker 1: he was able to get it removed and they whatever
Speaker 1: the treatment where the radiation, chemo, or whatever the case
Speaker 1: may be.
Speaker 2: Seemingly he said he's cancer free.
Speaker 1: That's what the doctor said, if I'm not mistaken, that
Speaker 1: was sitting next to him, and they got everything taken
Speaker 1: care of.
Speaker 2: And that's what you need to do, oh Joe.
Speaker 1: Don't wait until it's too late and then it's stage three,
Speaker 1: stage four. There's really nothing else now. All they can
Speaker 1: do is just make you comfortable, don't be afraid to
Speaker 1: go to the doctor, get everything taken care of, and
Speaker 1: so you can have a very productive life. And that
Speaker 1: just because you go o jo, that doesn't mean things
Speaker 1: are not going to happen. You can get your car
Speaker 1: service every year like you're supposed to every six months,
Speaker 1: and something still might happen to the car, but there's
Speaker 1: a greater chance that they'll find out something as opposed
Speaker 1: to you're in dire straits or dire emergency. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: oh Joe. We have more info coming out on Kristin Wilkins.
Speaker 1: Adam Shefter shares well it was an awkward kiss incident
Speaker 1: between Kristin Wilkins and a Raiders teammate. Wilkins kissed a
Speaker 1: fella player on the head and the teammate took offense
Speaker 1: to it. The incident happened inside the team meeting room.
Speaker 1: Report says the interaction was playful, but the teammate didn't
Speaker 1: see it that way. Chefter ads the incident was not
Speaker 1: the sole reason Wilkins was cut.
Speaker 2: Is the real, oh Joe? When wait? Hold on?
Speaker 1: This is this is Chefter talking allegedly this this was
Speaker 1: an incident that took place. When did men start playing
Speaker 1: like this? Ojo, forget, forget. I understand, it's twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1: It's a different time, and I don't get. I don't
Speaker 1: care what your letter is into alphabet.
Speaker 5: Be you.
Speaker 2: I'm cool with it.
Speaker 1: You be the L, you be the B, you be
Speaker 1: the T, you be the Q plu plural, whatever the
Speaker 1: case may be.
Speaker 2: Have at it.
Speaker 1: When did men in a football back in a setting
Speaker 1: like this? When did they start playing like this? Ohoe?
Speaker 1: Whether it after I left the game, whether it like
Speaker 1: last week, a couple of weeks ago, you stayed a
Speaker 1: little bit. I retired and know four you retired in
Speaker 1: twenty twelve from the NFL, so you stayed a little
Speaker 1: longer than I did. So when did this start happen too?
Speaker 5: Hey, I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 2: I think I think that's plays like.
Speaker 5: The people I hang around based on where I'm from,
Speaker 5: I don't I don't see that type activity. I don't
Speaker 5: see that type of Listen, we have treat me. We
Speaker 5: have played for Banna, but the playful Yeah, we and
Speaker 5: we we conducted. It ain't like that. It ain't in
Speaker 5: that manner. So is news to me. It's new to me.
Speaker 5: I don't know Christian Wilkinson. You know Perce Wilkins. I
Speaker 5: don't know him personally. You know, I know of him,
Speaker 5: you know as a fun, energetic type of player. He's
Speaker 5: done some funny things.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they got that picture when I think they're the
Speaker 1: National championship game of one game and.
Speaker 2: On the ground. Yeah yeah, it's just yeah, yeah, I'm like.
Speaker 1: Bro, guys don't play Look maybe maybe they do not
Speaker 1: and say, I'm just from an era the guys didn't
Speaker 1: play like that, and yeah, look, yeah.
Speaker 2: We horse played.
Speaker 1: We might nail somebody locker short shut, we might put
Speaker 1: powder or water in your shoulder pants and when you
Speaker 1: grab him it come down on top of you.
Speaker 2: Do guys horse play around like that? Yes?
Speaker 1: Do we soak the rookies clothes, put them in the
Speaker 1: cold tub and then put them in the freezer. Yes,
Speaker 1: we've seen guys, you know, basketball players put popcorn in
Speaker 1: the guy's car. But we've seen stuff like that, oh Joe,
Speaker 1: not like and I've seen some stuff in the locker room. Now,
Speaker 1: I've seen some guys play that. Even I was like,
Speaker 1: y'all nasty that grow.
Speaker 5: A But not not not today, magnitudough not not no, not.
Speaker 1: No, not no, not no, not no kissing on not
Speaker 1: even kissing on the forehead, not even though, no joking matter.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know. It's hard to say. I'm not
Speaker 5: in the locker room. I wasn't actually there. And obviously
Speaker 5: chef did his best job and describing what happened, and
Speaker 5: obviously to.
Speaker 1: Think about it, Ocho, remember we talked about it. Of
Speaker 1: all the things they could have said, why did they
Speaker 1: say this? Now, they could have said anything, he stole
Speaker 1: somebody car, he stole fifteen hundred dollars from somebody, he
Speaker 1: forged the check.
Speaker 2: Of all the.
Speaker 1: Things they could have tagged the young man with. Allegedly
Speaker 1: they put this.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, listen, Allegendly that's actually what happened. You know,
Speaker 5: it had to come from somewhere, So that means that's
Speaker 5: exactly what happened. Where they'll smoke this fire right where
Speaker 5: they'll smoke this fire. So it is what it is.
Speaker 5: Whoever the player was, they took offense to it, and
Speaker 5: maybe they got in a little scuffle. Maybe it caused
Speaker 5: an issue, and maybe that was just the icing on
Speaker 5: the cake for them to release him based on the
Speaker 5: other issues and other incidents about him missing games last
Speaker 5: year and then not doing what's required to make sure
Speaker 5: he gets on the field in the time man of
Speaker 5: this year. Maybe they up.
Speaker 1: If I'm not mistaken, Ojo, they said this incident happened earlier,
Speaker 1: so I don't know if it happened and say in
Speaker 1: the off season. It happened at some point in time
Speaker 1: during the season. Obviously there was there was a different
Speaker 1: a fracturing, A fracturing where they like, bro, you need
Speaker 1: the surgery. He says no. It seemed like he said no.
Speaker 1: Maybe they wanted a second opinion. He didn't want to
Speaker 1: get a second opinion, because here's the thing.
Speaker 2: You could have.
Speaker 1: You cauld like, okay, you got to tour an acl
Speaker 1: and doctor say, well, you need to get to say
Speaker 1: he like nomal let it hell on his own. You
Speaker 1: can do that. I wouldn't advise it, but you can
Speaker 1: do it. They tell you to go get a second opinion, Ojoe,
Speaker 1: you can do that, and both darkness say the same thing.
Speaker 1: You say, Noah, I'm good. I wouldn't advise it, but
Speaker 1: you can do that.
Speaker 2: I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't get why he wouldn't, considering he had guaranteed money.
Speaker 1: He had thirty five million dollars coming to him that
Speaker 1: was guaranteed, so he was at I could see, o Jo,
Speaker 1: if I didn't have guaranteed money coming in, if there
Speaker 1: was a situation like no, bro, I need to get
Speaker 1: on the field. But he got guaranteed money. And so
Speaker 1: they said, nah, it's not healing like it's supposed to.
Speaker 1: You need to have another surgery, right.
Speaker 2: I just don't.
Speaker 1: I don't get that. That's what's being reported now. We
Speaker 1: don't know what's true or not. But look, the truth
Speaker 1: is somewhere in between this box. Yeah, yeah, between the
Speaker 1: kids on the forehead, the second opinion they wanted to have.
Speaker 1: They wanted to have surgery again something. The truth is
Speaker 1: somewhere in here, oh Joe. We just don't know where
Speaker 1: it's at but we think the truth is somewhere in
Speaker 1: this box.
Speaker 5: Listen. What you can do is you can hear the
Speaker 5: situations right, and it's like having a puzzle piece. All right,
Speaker 5: we got we got good pieces to the puzzle, and
Speaker 5: you can just fill out the rest of the puzzle
Speaker 5: based on the actions that have happened and what you're hearing.
Speaker 5: So you missed games last year, Okay, yeah, well.
Speaker 1: I think you only played five games though, Joe, I
Speaker 1: think you got hurt after the fifth game.
Speaker 5: Listen, all right, we're going into a new season. You're
Speaker 5: still not healthy. You're right and got a second opinion.
Speaker 5: Maybe your second opinion said, you know what, you need
Speaker 5: to just relax and let it heal on the song.
Speaker 5: Maybe the team said, well you need to get surgery.
Speaker 5: So again, now we're going to another season. You missed
Speaker 5: so many games last year. Now the season rolling around again,
Speaker 5: you're still not healthy. You're not on the field. They
Speaker 5: see you on on camera dancing around, you know, having
Speaker 5: fun and doing doing stuff. That's that's not for one,
Speaker 5: helping the team too, that's not helping yourself.
Speaker 2: And three, what.
Speaker 5: We're paying you means as dollars to do, you're not
Speaker 5: earning that you're not earning that you're not gonna do
Speaker 5: that on our time, O our clock, right, And so
Speaker 5: they made a business decision.
Speaker 2: Yes, I agree.
Speaker 1: I'm looking at it like, like I said, if he's
Speaker 1: in the last year of his contract, he doesn't have
Speaker 1: this guaranteed money, and he thinks like, hey, I get it.
Speaker 1: I totally get it. But he got thirty he got,
Speaker 1: he got what he had already got like forty nine million,
Speaker 1: he got another seven coming this year, and then guess what, Ohoe,
Speaker 1: he got another twenty five coming, another twenty five, twenty
Speaker 1: seven coming following year.
Speaker 2: So he's protected. That's why.
Speaker 1: That's why guys want these guaranteed contracts, So Joe, so
Speaker 1: I can be protected not just for one year, but
Speaker 1: for multiple years.
Speaker 2: So I get it.
Speaker 1: But if the report is what Chef is saying is true,
Speaker 1: I just don't know when this started taking place. Guys
Speaker 1: like I said, hey, look like I said, oh Joe,
Speaker 1: we ain't look. I don't put I don't put more two.
Speaker 1: It gone through so many tubes of toothpaste, putting toothpaste
Speaker 1: on the guys during training camp because I know all
Speaker 1: he gonna do is just walk out the door and
Speaker 1: pull it shut. He ain't gonna look back at it.
Speaker 1: He just gonna grab it and got him. I done,
Speaker 1: poured so much alcohol and lit it on fire up
Speaker 1: under the door. Yeah, we play pranks like that, but
Speaker 1: we know. Look, you ain't don't touch a man's you know, boy,
Speaker 1: I saw somebody almost got the brakes beat off him.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: He took his hair, he took his brush, took the
Speaker 1: duke brush and caught his pubit, bushed his pubert air
Speaker 1: with it with his brush and put it back.
Speaker 2: Okay, See, people don't play now, man.
Speaker 1: It ain't nothing. It ain't nothing but a brush. It
Speaker 1: ain't it ain't that serious. People don't play the way
Speaker 1: you play. Everybody don't play like that. And you and
Speaker 1: you need to understand that because you dealing with Look,
Speaker 1: I said, I just don't. I don't get it. I
Speaker 1: just like I said, I grew up at a time
Speaker 1: where men men didn't play. Men rarely didn't play at all.
Speaker 1: I remember my grandfather and them telling no jokes like
Speaker 1: I said, and uh, we told the story of my brother.
Speaker 1: I just sat down with him about somebody made a
Speaker 1: joke about my grandfather's teeth, and as my grandfather was
Speaker 1: driving off.
Speaker 2: He had his teeth, he had his false teeth.
Speaker 1: They were sitting on the dash and got a uhuh,
Speaker 1: mister Barney, don't let don't let your teeth for a runaway.
Speaker 1: And my grandfather put that car in reverse. Stop that
Speaker 1: car and got out said, don't play. I'm enough to
Speaker 1: be your dad, is it. Don't play with me? He said,
Speaker 1: I'm a grown ass man. He say, find somebody to
Speaker 1: play with.
Speaker 2: And I'm not him. Man, Probably about five s here
Speaker 2: for each boy.
Speaker 1: My because if you know, back all people used to
Speaker 1: go to get the gas that you get that full service,
Speaker 1: O Joe, you know what I'm saying, They ain't get
Speaker 1: a pumpy whole gas. And hey, because you did the windows.
Speaker 1: And you know what I'm saying, Oh Joe, you did
Speaker 1: the window, got the windows all nights.
Speaker 5: And you know that they do that in Jersey. Huh
Speaker 5: oh they do that, They do that in Jersey.
Speaker 2: Okay man.
Speaker 1: And so I'm I'm I'm surprised.
Speaker 2: I'm really surprised that.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 1: And in the today's society that allegedly what Christian Wilkins did.
Speaker 1: I mean, because he's, like I said, there are some
Speaker 1: things that like and and and photos that surface and
Speaker 1: I don't know it might be AI. It's hard to say. Hell,
Speaker 1: I don't got the way. I don't really believe nothing
Speaker 1: no on the internet anymore because I don't even know
Speaker 1: if it's if it's real, low Choe, if it's AI,
Speaker 1: because hey, I have have it. You know, got alligator
Speaker 1: riding the horse. So I don't even know what to
Speaker 1: believe anymore, Oh Joe. But I'm just saying, God, stop
Speaker 1: playing so much. All these people in pranks and all
Speaker 1: this stuff. And you see people walking up and they
Speaker 1: trying to prank somebody and they do it all this stuff.
Speaker 1: Y'all start that, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah everybody, Yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: come on, come on that. You're gonna get yourself hurt.
Speaker 1: And the first thing somebody family gonna say they didn't
Speaker 1: have to do him like that, or they didn't have
Speaker 1: to do her do her like that.
Speaker 2: No, you didn't have.
Speaker 1: To play like that. People, everybody don't play the same.
Speaker 1: Somebody gonna let y'all have it, So just stop, just
Speaker 1: stop like because like you said, O Joe, that's a
Speaker 1: total stranger. You don't know that from Adam and I
Speaker 1: know somebody I know, I got great friends. But we
Speaker 1: know how to play and we know what to say
Speaker 1: when we play. You know certain things. There's certain things
Speaker 1: that's off limits, and you understand that.
Speaker 5: You always you did it with you always know what
Speaker 5: line not the cross. You know your friends. You always
Speaker 5: know what what what can get that? What buttons the push?
Speaker 3: You know it.
Speaker 5: Button's not the push. You know what line, not the cross,
Speaker 5: And there's there's great understanding with that when it's it's
Speaker 5: someone that you've been friends with for a very long time. Now,
Speaker 5: when it's second, when somebody knew like you're on a
Speaker 5: new team, a teammate that you don't know that well
Speaker 5: outside of that building, there's certain things you can't do.
Speaker 5: You can't conduct yourself, you know the way you conduct
Speaker 5: yourself with somebody known twenty twenty twenty five years.
Speaker 1: That's why you go in a new environment. You sit
Speaker 1: back and you observe. Yeah, okay, I can joke with him,
Speaker 1: I can't joke with him. Well I can say something
Speaker 1: like this to him. Yeah, I can't say that to him.
Speaker 1: You got to read the room.
Speaker 2: That's why you observed.
Speaker 1: Give yourself a month or two, three months, excuse me
Speaker 1: to observe and see who you can and can't. Yeah,
Speaker 1: who you can talk to, who you can make joke with,
Speaker 1: who you can do certain things too. You just need
Speaker 1: to be observing because being in a locker room, because
Speaker 1: you got a lot of different backgrounds, don't Joe. People
Speaker 1: come from a lot of different areas, I mean, the
Speaker 1: social economic background, the different religions, the different ideology, how
Speaker 1: somebody was raised, and you don't know what the trigger is.
Speaker 1: You just don't want to be the one to pull
Speaker 1: it right. So I'm sorry the young man, but hopefully
Speaker 1: they get this resolved because he's extremely talented.
Speaker 2: He can play, He's gone to the Pro Bowl. He
Speaker 2: can play.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he can rush the past, he's tremendous against the run.
Speaker 1: It seems to me that he really enjoys the game.
Speaker 1: Sometimes I think he enjoyed it too much. But this
Speaker 1: I just, like I said, we don't know Chefter's reporting
Speaker 1: that this incident did have but he's saying that's not
Speaker 1: the that's not the sole reason of why they chose
Speaker 1: to go in this direction. We don't know, Like I said,
Speaker 1: that's what Shepter's being reported. We're reporting, basically, we're commenting
Speaker 1: on what Shepter's reporting. What we do know is that
Speaker 1: he's been released and they're basically saying, we ain't paying you.
Speaker 1: He filed agreements with the NFLPA trying to get the
Speaker 1: guaranteed money that he believes he's old. We'll see how
Speaker 1: it plays out. Oh choe, y'all did my man wrong?
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahons was left off the ninety nine rating. Players
Speaker 1: with the ninety nine overall rating in Man twenty six
Speaker 1: were revealed today and they are sa Kwon Barkley, Lamar Jackson,
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, Justin Jefferson, Jamar Chase, Miles, Garrett, and Lane Johnson.
Speaker 2: What was mahon? Boys were? What was he? Ojo?
Speaker 3: Ninety eight? Oh?
Speaker 2: Okay, Oh, he's.
Speaker 5: A he's a ninety eight, like there are many quarterbacks.
Speaker 3: I know.
Speaker 5: They made it to the Super Bowl, right, we all
Speaker 5: football this year?
Speaker 2: Yeah, based on last year, he shouldn't have been ninety nine.
Speaker 5: That's the whole point. That's every The rating is based
Speaker 5: on your performance and what you did last year. Yes,
Speaker 5: they went to the Super Bowl. Yeah, but he def'
Speaker 5: and the standards in the metric system in which we
Speaker 5: judge Patrick Mahomes, who even though he's a ninety is
Speaker 5: still one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time. He's
Speaker 5: not a ninety nine based off last year's production. I'm
Speaker 5: not sure why people people chiefs, fans, they fussing at me.
Speaker 5: They argue with me, it's not a bet, but what Because.
Speaker 1: It's not a lot of time of chief you don't
Speaker 1: get you don't get a ninety nine to get to
Speaker 1: keep it forever. So I get to play like crap
Speaker 1: I throw forty interceptions. I'm still a ninety nine because
Speaker 1: I've had great years in the past.
Speaker 2: No, if you look at the guys, look at the.
Speaker 1: Season of Saquan had over two thousand yard Offensive Player
Speaker 1: of the Year. Look at Lamar Josh Allen was the MVP,
Speaker 1: the Jetta was Jella was.
Speaker 2: What he had.
Speaker 1: Second, I think the second most receiver yards behind Chase Miles.
Speaker 1: Garrett had an outstanding season, and Lane Johnson. We know
Speaker 1: what John Johnson represent. So these guys that are ninety nine,
Speaker 1: they're more. They earned that. So Patrick Mahomes didn't earn it.
Speaker 1: He didn't earn the ninety nine. He's a ninety eight,
Speaker 1: which is which is good if you're the game of
Speaker 1: ninety seven. I don't think he could have been mad
Speaker 1: considering how he played.
Speaker 5: Right, and I think people we watched the Chiefs last year,
Speaker 5: we watched some struggle, especially offensively, even though they were
Speaker 5: winning games. Because Patrick Mahomes is just that great when
Speaker 5: it comes to managing game and not turning the ball over.
Speaker 5: Patrick Mahomes last year he only threw for three.
Speaker 2: Yards first season under four thousand.
Speaker 5: Yeah, under four thousand in front of him, in front
Speaker 5: of him. Statistically, who do for more yards? Lamar Jackson, Yeah,
Speaker 5: Sam Darnold, Gino Smith, Baker Mayfield, Jared Goff and Joe Burrow.
Speaker 5: I mean, like, like, what are we talking about. It's
Speaker 5: not a bad thing Mahomes is still Last year it
Speaker 5: showed us that he's human.
Speaker 4: Lord.
Speaker 5: Patrick Mahomes is done so far in such a very
Speaker 5: short amount of time in his career.
Speaker 3: He is.
Speaker 5: It's these like superman in the sense, like man in
Speaker 5: the sense to the point we're comparing the Brady and
Speaker 5: he's still active with a long way to go.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, but it's not at oh oh Joe without
Speaker 1: further ado, Let's welcome in. He drives the number twenty
Speaker 1: three car for twenty three eleven racing. He has three
Speaker 1: career wins on the NASCAR circuit. He became the second
Speaker 1: black driver to win in the Cup Series with the
Speaker 1: victory in twenty twenty one at Talladego Supermotor Speedway, the
Speaker 1: first in his career for the twenty three eleven racing
Speaker 1: and yesterday he captured his first ever Crown Jule victory
Speaker 1: in the historic win at the Brickyard four hundred.
Speaker 2: You begin, mayh Bubba.
Speaker 1: We had a conversation a few uh this probably about
Speaker 1: four years ago, and you said, uh, I think you
Speaker 1: had just you had just started.
Speaker 2: With the uh the MJ. Denny Hamlin team.
Speaker 1: I think you had you had just just started, and
Speaker 1: you were talking about your expectations. You know, Hey, I
Speaker 1: want to win Daytona. If it's like you, like Shannon
Speaker 1: is the super Bowl? If you if you get a
Speaker 1: chance to win one game, what game you want to win?
Speaker 2: Super Bowl? For me?
Speaker 1: Well, that's how it is for NASCAR. You want to
Speaker 1: win Daytona. It wasn't Daytona, but it was one of
Speaker 1: the Crown Jewels. So you got Daytona, you got the
Speaker 1: Coca Cola six hundred, you got the Brickyard, and you
Speaker 1: got Darlington. That's when one of the Crown Jewels and
Speaker 1: the as it's winding down and you realize I'm about
Speaker 1: to win this. I'm about to win this. What's going
Speaker 1: through your mind? Bubbah?
Speaker 6: Well, first, thanks for having me, boys, I appreciation. Uh yes,
Speaker 6: it's an honor to be on here. Man the last last,
Speaker 6: twenty last. When we got the lead, honestly, I didn't
Speaker 6: know how many laps were left.
Speaker 3: I thought it was way more than twenty laps to go.
Speaker 6: So when my spotter told me twenty Togo, I'm like,
Speaker 6: oh shit, all right, we got we gotta get serious here.
Speaker 6: We got a chance. Rain came through, had a little
Speaker 6: bit of a delay. I had a red flag, but
Speaker 6: I told myself, like, I didn't want to win it
Speaker 6: this way. I won Talladega like this in twenty twenty one.
Speaker 6: We know how much controversy that started. I wanted to
Speaker 6: win at fair and squared straight up and get the
Speaker 6: twenty three back to victory lane, and so I just
Speaker 6: stayed in the ready mindset.
Speaker 3: We went back with a green white checker.
Speaker 6: To attempt two of them to be exact, and we're
Speaker 6: able to conquer both of them. So it's still kind
Speaker 6: of unbelievable to me. You know, I manifested a lot
Speaker 6: of good things waking up Sunday morning. But I put
Speaker 6: in my tweet that I still don't believe it, although
Speaker 6: I was believing the whole time leading up to it.
Speaker 3: So it's just weird, man, It's crazy. It's crazy, you know,
Speaker 3: did you go ahead?
Speaker 2: Oo?
Speaker 5: That was gonna be my next question. Most of the time,
Speaker 5: when you win something big like this and make history,
Speaker 5: you know, being one one of the second if I'm
Speaker 5: not mistaken to win in this big of this magnitude,
Speaker 5: has it even hits you yet? Has it hit you
Speaker 5: yet exactly what you've accomplished?
Speaker 3: It has you know?
Speaker 6: It had been going on three years, uh since I
Speaker 6: had been to Victory Lane, And you know, I've said
Speaker 6: it multiple times. You know, my buddy look and who
Speaker 6: drives a twelve car he wanted at Charlotte, and he
Speaker 6: had said he had gone on a little hiatus, and
Speaker 6: he had said, you don't know if you could do
Speaker 6: it anymore after you go for so long without winning.
Speaker 6: And so a lot of self doubt kind of was
Speaker 6: sitting in there, and and it was a lot of
Speaker 6: perseverance and overcoming that and we're here, We've done it.
Speaker 6: So now to get back through the flow of everything. Yes,
Speaker 6: I'm busy now I'm doing all the media stops. But
Speaker 6: this is how it was three years ago, and it's
Speaker 6: it's a great feeling like you're on top of the world. Uh,
Speaker 6: you know, everybody's looking at you different now and and
Speaker 6: and the people that continue to believe in you there
Speaker 6: kind of giving you like see I told you so.
Speaker 3: And that's a great feeling to have.
Speaker 2: Yeah, when you get to the track.
Speaker 1: When you got to the track, did you believe you
Speaker 1: had the type of car that could win.
Speaker 2: It for you?
Speaker 6: Well, I think when you get to the top level,
Speaker 6: before you even step foot on the field of the track,
Speaker 6: you have to believe.
Speaker 3: You have to have that percentage whatever that is right.
Speaker 3: You have to know that you have a fighting change.
Speaker 6: And with this team, that's what we created going on
Speaker 6: five years now with twenty three eleven.
Speaker 3: We wanted to show up.
Speaker 6: With the right people, the right cars, just the right
Speaker 6: equipment and partners to make this all work. You got
Speaker 6: to have everything to make this work in a sport
Speaker 6: and so yes, going in the Indie we finished fifth
Speaker 6: there last year. Knew we had some potential when through
Speaker 6: practice we were like thirty second in practice but practice
Speaker 6: was super weird, so we threw that out the window
Speaker 6: and then we qualified second. We missed the poll by
Speaker 6: thirteen hundreds of a second. So we knew we had
Speaker 6: a good car. We knew we had to be a
Speaker 6: good car. Okay, but Saturday is Saturday, Sunday is is
Speaker 6: race day.
Speaker 3: It's game day.
Speaker 6: Like it's a total different vibe and there's so many
Speaker 6: different scenarios. But like I said, I woke up and
Speaker 6: it was no one is taking this from me today,
Speaker 6: hours before the race, like I want that. I seen
Speaker 6: the trophy sitting in the driver's meeting and says I
Speaker 6: want that. The track president, a good friend of mine,
Speaker 6: Doug Ball said in two thousand and five, Tony Stewart won.
Speaker 6: You guys know these names. In twenty fifteen, Kyle Busch swan.
Speaker 6: He said, legends win on the year of number five,
Speaker 6: Legends in the making, current legends, whatever you want to be,
Speaker 6: So it is up to you guys who decides to win.
Speaker 6: And I said, I'm going to be that guy today
Speaker 6: hours before the race.
Speaker 3: And it all worked out.
Speaker 6: And man I said again in my tweet, I'm not
Speaker 6: the superstitious guy. I usually don't manifest I just kind
Speaker 6: of go with the flow. But Sunday was different, and
Speaker 6: I was confident in every move that I made and
Speaker 6: every outcome that was there, every scenario is that was there,
Speaker 6: and it was just a perfect recipe for an awesome day.
Speaker 6: Had the family there, had my nine month old and
Speaker 6: my wife there, was awesome.
Speaker 1: And that's what I was about to get into in
Speaker 1: late September. You and your wife, lovely wife, Amanda, who
Speaker 1: helped you your first child.
Speaker 3: That's right.
Speaker 2: What was that like, Bubba?
Speaker 1: I got my wife here, who's been by my side
Speaker 1: for the longest, and now I got a look.
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness.
Speaker 1: What was that moment like when they came to Victory
Speaker 1: Lane and you laid.
Speaker 2: Eyes on your wife and your child.
Speaker 3: You're you're related, right.
Speaker 6: I'm on top of the car, I'm more out, I'm sweating,
Speaker 6: I'm soaking wet, and I was like doing an interview
Speaker 6: and I'm like, I haven't seen my wife and kid yet,
Speaker 6: like where they are, what's going on?
Speaker 3: And so you're going through the emotions.
Speaker 6: I'm trying not to pass out because I'm dehydrated and fatigued,
Speaker 6: and I see them and all of that goes away.
Speaker 3: It's just like us.
Speaker 6: Three are at the track for fifteen seconds and I
Speaker 6: see my kid. He cracks that smile when he sees
Speaker 6: when he sees me, and I'm already on top of
Speaker 6: the world, and I don't even know how you can
Speaker 6: get higher than that. And it was just just a
Speaker 6: really cool experience. You know, we were able to win
Speaker 6: in Daytona to start the year with the duel, but
Speaker 6: this one was Bex's first official win, so to have
Speaker 6: him there, he has no idea what's going on, but
Speaker 6: we have a ton of memories captured that we'll be
Speaker 6: able to talk about someday and I look forward to
Speaker 6: that moment. But Amanda being there as well, she's like
Speaker 6: you said, she's there every step of the way. He's
Speaker 6: been with me for going on ten years now and
Speaker 6: has gone through the trials and tribulations with me, right
Speaker 6: by my side. And the first thing she told me,
Speaker 6: and you could see it, she mouths it, we did it,
Speaker 6: We did it.
Speaker 3: We finally did it.
Speaker 6: We've been working so hard to get to this level,
Speaker 6: and now that we got our little sidekick, healthy baby boy.
Speaker 6: It is just I saw he did not He sat there,
Speaker 6: he was like, what are all doing? I didn't want
Speaker 6: to pourse it.
Speaker 3: I didn't want to pourse it. It was awesome, though,
Speaker 3: it was awesome.
Speaker 5: I want to go back to those moments, especially towards
Speaker 5: the end of the race. Obviously you had multiple cautions. Yeah,
Speaker 5: and you have to restart? Are you nervous? Would like
Speaker 5: I'm trying to think of, like what's going to your
Speaker 5: mind when when you're having to restart? Obviously already having
Speaker 5: a certain position, you're nervous when there's time to restart
Speaker 5: in case, my think and maybe somebody might come back
Speaker 5: and take the spot where I'm already at. Yeah, how
Speaker 5: did did you have to did you have to block
Speaker 5: people in or you know you have the yeah in
Speaker 5: everything that you do. Yeah.
Speaker 6: So so during that red flag, you know, I went
Speaker 6: through all the scenarios of what was going to happen.
Speaker 3: I knew, uh, well, the biggest thing, We'll back up
Speaker 3: a little bit.
Speaker 6: Uh when the caution came out with six to go,
Speaker 6: we were extremely tight on fuel, Like yeah, like that's
Speaker 6: Kuchi said, we have enough fuel for one overtime restart.
Speaker 3: That's it.
Speaker 6: And then this is all calculated out, so could be
Speaker 6: off by very little, but the technology and the data
Speaker 6: that we have nowadays.
Speaker 3: Uh, we don't miss that much. It's spot on, right.
Speaker 6: And so they're like, we have enough for one overtime
Speaker 6: restart if we go when we go back green. So
Speaker 6: I said, okay, So I go through my mental check clip. Okay,
Speaker 6: I gotta get a good start here. If I get
Speaker 6: a good push and I'm ahead, he's not gonna beat
Speaker 6: me through turn one or turn turn two. So we
Speaker 6: fire off and I don't get a good push. He
Speaker 6: gets a good push, he's ahead of me into one,
Speaker 6: and I said, okay, but those are off. We're gonna
Speaker 6: we're gonna battle this because I'm not, you know, giving
Speaker 6: up the spot, get the lead through two and uh
Speaker 6: defending playing a little cat and mouse down the backstretch.
Speaker 6: Caution comes out still in the lead. Well, I was
Speaker 6: just told that I only have a fuel, enough fuel
Speaker 6: for one of those.
Speaker 2: Here we go.
Speaker 3: We're about to do it again. Oh and so it's like,
Speaker 3: all right.
Speaker 6: There's no way that there's no way that I could
Speaker 6: end this way. I kind of had the angel Devil
Speaker 6: on each shoulder. It was like this is about to
Speaker 6: be ripped out from underneath you. And then the other
Speaker 6: part is like you got plenty of fuel in the tank.
Speaker 6: This is gonna be fine, and uh fast forward. It
Speaker 6: ended up being fine. We had a hell of a restart,
Speaker 6: got in the lead through turn one and and never
Speaker 6: looked back, and uh hell, I had enough fuel to
Speaker 6: do a burnout. I ran out of fuel backing up
Speaker 6: on onto the podium to go up to the top.
Speaker 3: So it was it was really cool, really cool.
Speaker 5: That's dope. That's dope.
Speaker 1: Yeah, thank you brother, the twenty three to xil Car.
Speaker 1: I mean you you were the first driver that that
Speaker 1: Mike and Danny hired in twenty twenty one.
Speaker 2: That's right.
Speaker 1: And you know you absolutely know how competitive Mike is.
Speaker 3: That's right.
Speaker 1: Danny if pretty, Danny is a little little calmer, but
Speaker 1: he's competitive also.
Speaker 3: That's right.
Speaker 2: When you're going through your drought that it never crossed
Speaker 2: your mind. Man, I got it. I got the wind
Speaker 2: this thing cause uh no, one J.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I one hundred percent. I thought about that every day.
Speaker 6: MJ has been super loyal to me and has been
Speaker 6: one of my biggest supporters. And it's not every day
Speaker 6: where somebody can say that, right, And so I definitely
Speaker 6: don't take those words for granted. I appreciate that support,
Speaker 6: but I also know he also told me, you know,
Speaker 6: don't get comfortable, you know, always always keep pushing for more,
Speaker 6: you know. And and I'm never the person to get
Speaker 6: comfortable because I am so competitive and I want to
Speaker 6: win every damn race that we enter. But MJ and
Speaker 6: Denny both know. It's a little bit different for Denny
Speaker 6: because he's in it. He's in the trenches as well.
Speaker 6: But they both know how hard.
Speaker 3: It is to win.
Speaker 6: And so when you're going up against guys like Dinny,
Speaker 6: I mean, Denny finished third, he was right there, you know,
Speaker 6: he's he's winning multiple so it's it's super hard. And
Speaker 6: so I didn't lose the sight of that that it's
Speaker 6: really hard and I'm giving it everything I have. But
Speaker 6: there was a time, like maybe a few years ago,
Speaker 6: where I felt like, you know, Denny was really really
Speaker 6: hard on me, and it's like, man, I'm I'm what
Speaker 6: do you want me to do? And I've quickly switched
Speaker 6: transition to I think both MJ and Denny see the
Speaker 6: potential in me that I don't see, and this is
Speaker 6: why everything is happening a certain way. And so I
Speaker 6: put it on my shoulders to figure out why it's
Speaker 6: why is that?
Speaker 3: What what are they seeing? Let's go find it?
Speaker 6: And I hate that it's taken three years, but hey,
Speaker 6: it's been one day since I've haven't won a race, now,
Speaker 6: you know, and not not a thousand whatever it was
Speaker 6: at one hundred races, whatever it was, and you know,
Speaker 6: it's it's I really appreciate those guys and understanding the
Speaker 6: the importance of competition and what it takes to be
Speaker 6: the absolute best. I had to beat the best this
Speaker 6: weekend to get the win, and so I really love
Speaker 6: the position that we're in now. Yes, it's only five
Speaker 6: races to go in the regular season, but there's so
Speaker 6: much weight lifted off my shoulders. The last three years,
Speaker 6: I have been the last guy or the first guy out,
Speaker 6: you know, the last guy in, first guy out. I
Speaker 6: have to the very end of the regular season have
Speaker 6: always just been super stressed out because you want to
Speaker 6: make the playoffs.
Speaker 3: It's a make or break. You know, we missed it.
Speaker 3: We were first car out last year.
Speaker 6: We missed it, and you're kind of just put on
Speaker 6: the shelf and we'll try again next year.
Speaker 3: Well we're in, baby, we're in.
Speaker 6: We're locked in, and now we can go and have
Speaker 6: some fun for these next five, really identify our week
Speaker 6: areas and sharpen our tools to get ready for a
Speaker 6: good playoff run because I truly believe in this team.
Speaker 6: A twenty three car has really upticked the performance from
Speaker 6: all avenues and man, it's it's been really cool. So well,
Speaker 6: just what an awesome day yesterday.
Speaker 1: If you don't mind sharing, what, uh, bubba, what did
Speaker 1: Mike say when you? When you when he got on
Speaker 1: the phone with you and you guys talked, what did
Speaker 1: he say to you?
Speaker 3: He was just super proud man. He was just really
Speaker 3: really proud, uh and really happy for me. And I
Speaker 3: was I was bummed.
Speaker 6: I was bummed that he wasn't there because Reddick teammate,
Speaker 6: he's got to win with MJ there. I think he's
Speaker 6: got multiple wins with MJ there and and I've yet
Speaker 6: to my three wins. He hasn't been there, but just okay.
Speaker 6: But I thought that one would have been maybe.
Speaker 3: Stay away. Hey, I got three of them. You ain't there,
Speaker 3: stay away, That's fine with me.
Speaker 6: But I said, man, I wish you were here, and
Speaker 6: he was like, well, I'll have a drink for you
Speaker 6: in spirit. So that was that was super cool. Uh,
Speaker 6: he's always watching. Uh from from a guy you guys,
Speaker 6: you guys know him. I mean, he could be doing
Speaker 6: so much other things with his time and money and.
Speaker 3: Effort, but he loves Nascar.
Speaker 6: He he's been a fan of this for so long,
Speaker 6: and he understands harsh, that's that's You're.
Speaker 3: Exactly right, that's exactly right. And he understands how hard it.
Speaker 6: Is, and he loves the process to see his his
Speaker 6: team go through to get to the top. So it's
Speaker 6: honored to be driving in the twenty three.

Speaker 5: Oh with Daytona, that'll be what that's during football season
Speaker 5: though by that time.
Speaker 3: Right, that's probably a month away.
Speaker 5: Okay, I'll see you in Daytona.
Speaker 3: You're gonna be there, all right?
Speaker 5: Perfect, yeah, because remember I'm in Miami.
Speaker 6: I'm right there, right, So that's uh, that's a Saturday
Speaker 6: night race.
Speaker 3: So August twenty.
Speaker 5: Third, Okay, I'll be there, all right.
Speaker 1: I'll hit you up, Buba. Let me ask you this,
Speaker 1: how did they determine the Crown Jewels? Because when I
Speaker 1: was when I was growing up, and I used to
Speaker 1: watch the NASCAR, you know, and I had the conversation,
Speaker 1: You're like, man, you really do know Nascar?
Speaker 2: When did? When did?
Speaker 1: Because Talladega Talladega was really next to Daytona when I
Speaker 1: was a kid, right, and so and you look at
Speaker 1: the Crown jewels they got, you know, you got obviously,
Speaker 1: we got the brickyard, and you got the Coca Cola
Speaker 1: six hundred in Charlotte, you got Daytona and then Darlington.
Speaker 2: How did how did Talladaga get kicked out?
Speaker 3: That's a good question.
Speaker 6: So I haven't really been a history buff and understood
Speaker 6: the importance. I appreciate the importance, but when all this
Speaker 6: came about, you know, I just kind of stumbled upon like, Okay,
Speaker 6: we got four Crown Jewels. But I would say since
Speaker 6: the early two thousand and late nineties, maybe early nineties,
Speaker 6: it's it's been kind of those four because they're always
Speaker 6: talked about every time they're on the schedule and we're
Speaker 6: getting close to them, Crown Jeel events are coming up,
Speaker 6: so Holliday, I think just because I don't know why
Speaker 6: it's changed, be honest with you, I could get off
Speaker 6: into the weeds and I'm not sure, but I know
Speaker 6: we got one of them, so we get.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I got what Hey, I got what.
Speaker 1: I got one of the slams, the construles, and I'm good.
Speaker 1: We had a conversation and I was asking you. I said, well,
Speaker 1: how much time do you spend on the track, And
Speaker 1: I want you to share with our chat that you like.
Speaker 2: Spend most of the time in the simulator. I've been.
Speaker 1: You know, the cars cost too much, we can't afford
Speaker 1: can't run the risk, correct, So we spent a lot
Speaker 1: of time in the simulators.
Speaker 2: Talk to my chat about that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I remember that conversation.
Speaker 6: Yeah, we uh, that's that's actually a really popular question
Speaker 6: that people always ask, like, what does.
Speaker 3: Practice look like? Well, we don't get any you know, let's.
Speaker 6: Go back fifteen ten, ten, fifteen years ago. Yeah, we
Speaker 6: were testing each and every day of the week. We'd
Speaker 6: race on Sunday, be testing Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, if you could.
Speaker 6: But nothing's free in this world, and it costs a
Speaker 6: lot of money. And so NASCAR looked at ways of
Speaker 6: becoming more cost efficient and bridging the gap from smaller
Speaker 6: budget teams the bigger budget teams, and so they eliminated testing. Right,
Speaker 6: the more testing, the more r and d you get,
Speaker 6: the more speed you find. As we're smaller teams, you
Speaker 6: don't really have that. So you had the disparity, right,
Speaker 6: and so now there's probably let's just say fifteen to
Speaker 6: twenty NASCAR mandated tests, but there's only three cars that
Speaker 6: are allowed. Sometimes there's two from each team that are
Speaker 6: allowed to go, but NASCAR mandates those and it's not
Speaker 6: every time that I get to go and do it.
Speaker 6: I haven't tested and over a year, and that's just
Speaker 6: one track.
Speaker 3: That's just one track.
Speaker 6: And so we spend all of our time weeks leading
Speaker 6: up for road courses. We'll spend every Wednesday for two
Speaker 6: hours getting ready for like Watkins Glenn right. And so
Speaker 6: some drivers do more, some drivers do less, some drivers
Speaker 6: don't do any at all. I I struggle a little
Speaker 6: bit because it is virtual, right it does. You don't
Speaker 6: have the sensation of speed, So that's a big factor
Speaker 6: that I rely on. Like my mind, my butt is
Speaker 6: telling me things to my feet to do, my hands
Speaker 6: to do, and you don't get that. But it is
Speaker 6: a good tool for engineers and crew chiefs. They they
Speaker 6: really have developed the software and the technology to basically
Speaker 6: take our setup, our physical setup, and plug it in
Speaker 6: the data world. And this is what you got, so
Speaker 6: give us our feedback. You're right, and it's and it's
Speaker 6: crazy to see how advanced it has come. So yeah,
Speaker 6: we spend hours on the virtual world getting ready for
Speaker 6: real life and expect it to be the same.
Speaker 5: You know, that's that's funny now that you said that.
Speaker 5: The way you practice obviously don't want to wreck the
Speaker 5: cars in real time having to practice, but doing it
Speaker 5: in the virtue world. How long before you can to
Speaker 5: rhythm the live track and feel comfortable at what you're doing.
Speaker 5: Obviously doing a version you have to memorize everything, understanding
Speaker 5: its well, you can get away with them? Can get
Speaker 5: Can I get away with this high? Can I go
Speaker 5: with low?
Speaker 2: Dragon?
Speaker 5: You the whole nine yards?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Yeah, but no, no.
Speaker 6: No, I'll give you a Chicago the street course that
Speaker 6: we ran. We were just there.
Speaker 3: There are three weeks ago.
Speaker 6: I believe it is actually pretty good on the sim,
Speaker 6: like things translate pretty well, and so we have our
Speaker 6: breaking markers. They have like eight hundred feet seven hundred feet,
Speaker 6: six hundred feet until the turn right, so that's your
Speaker 6: breaking markers, and so on the sim you pick out
Speaker 6: one and you get into a nice rhythm for for
Speaker 6: weeks and running that, and so it's like, all right,
Speaker 6: you know, we feel pretty good about it. We go
Speaker 6: off in real life and you break at the six
Speaker 6: hundred marker and it's like, oh, that's it, okay. So
Speaker 6: then sometimes it could be off maybe by one hundred feet,
Speaker 6: which is a lot, but you can creep up to it.
Speaker 2: And whatnot.
Speaker 3: We usually tend to creep up to it instead of
Speaker 3: overdo it and back off, because.
Speaker 6: When you're in a street course, there's not much room
Speaker 6: for overdoing. You are done and destroyed. So yes, you
Speaker 6: have to be mindful. So it's easy for us to
Speaker 6: creep up to But when the track translates and correlates
Speaker 6: really well in the virtual world, then it makes the
Speaker 6: process easier. So you're spending maybe three laps in real
Speaker 6: life to get comfortable right.
Speaker 1: And you mentioned Watkins Glean, which is a road course
Speaker 1: as normally is are these left turns now you're talking
Speaker 1: about right turns?
Speaker 2: How long did it take you to get comfortable with that?
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's taking me twenty three years. I've been doing it.
Speaker 6: Man, road courses, I've come a long way since my
Speaker 6: first road course race. So I've been in Cup for
Speaker 6: eight years now.
Speaker 3: Man, I was just terrible. I was so slow.
Speaker 6: Just if the breaking mark at that if the mark
Speaker 6: was go lift at the four hundred, I was lifting
Speaker 6: at the eight hundred.
Speaker 3: I was just not doing my job. It was bad.
Speaker 6: And now you know, we've we've been able to confidently
Speaker 6: say we looked at all of our road course stuff
Speaker 6: these finishes don't show it. But where we qualify, where
Speaker 6: we run, we can say we're a tenth twelfth place
Speaker 6: car on road courses, which is a massive step and
Speaker 6: I've really appreciated the grind to get there.
Speaker 3: It's been a lot of work.
Speaker 6: But I have confidence showing up on road courses now,
Speaker 6: like I have confidence going to Indy and then road
Speaker 6: courses are right there beneath it.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 6: It's not going to match an oval because I haven't
Speaker 6: done it all my life. There's a lot of guys
Speaker 6: that have done it majority of their life, majority of
Speaker 6: their career. They can just show up and be really
Speaker 6: good at it, and so it's it's just a different
Speaker 6: craft that you have to learn how to develop and
Speaker 6: adapt to. That has taken a little bit more time
Speaker 6: for me, but it's finally starting to show up and
Speaker 6: pay off.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Okay, I got one more question, one more question. Okay,
Speaker 5: I almost come on us. I promise, I promise, I promise. Okay,
Speaker 5: when it comes to practice, right, I just want to
Speaker 5: know this virtually obviously or when you have simulations in
Speaker 5: the virtual world, do they obviously have cars as well?
Speaker 5: Do it assimilated that way? We have other cars or practice.
Speaker 3: Against Nope, nope, we were out there solo.
Speaker 6: So yeah, there's there's another factor that you're always by
Speaker 6: yourself and certain tracks you can work on, Like we
Speaker 6: don't have tire fall off, so the tires are always
Speaker 6: one grip, every time, every every part in the virtual world.
Speaker 6: That's not real in real life, right, So there's so
Speaker 6: many different factors. As soon as you roll out of
Speaker 6: the garage, your tires are already starting to eat up
Speaker 6: and change. So there's a lot of factors that are
Speaker 6: still a work in progress. This is many years after
Speaker 6: I am out. Will still always be developing simulation tools
Speaker 6: to get it even closer to real life, so it'll
Speaker 6: be exciting to see what's to come.
Speaker 2: Bubba, you drive now obviously.
Speaker 1: Rick Hendrick is a big car collector, MJ a car collector.
Speaker 1: Are drivers you guys drive for a living? Are you
Speaker 1: guys car collectors? Do you like cars?
Speaker 6: I love cars, I have I have a couple of
Speaker 6: toys I've posted.
Speaker 3: I have a couple of vintage cars. I got a
Speaker 3: Volkswagen Bug and a bus so those are fun.
Speaker 2: But you got a twenty three what you got a
Speaker 2: twenty three window? Windows? Yeah?
Speaker 6: That thing is that thing is pimped too, like it's
Speaker 6: it's actually off getting work done. Okay, it'll actually be back,
Speaker 6: I think within the next month, which I'm excited for.
Speaker 6: We got a bigger motor in it, so it's uh,
Speaker 6: it's gonna be fun. But Toyota cay Man is such
Speaker 6: a great partner of ours, and uh.
Speaker 3: I got a pretty sweet deal.
Speaker 6: I got a pretty good agent to work out a
Speaker 6: good deal I get. I get three personal vehicles from them,
Speaker 6: so I'm not complaining. I drive the new Toyota Tundra
Speaker 6: of TIERD pro. I got the Lexus g X five
Speaker 6: fifty uh, and then I got my bus driver one
Speaker 6: just a cruise around in the new brand new four
Speaker 6: Runner that just came out.
Speaker 3: So I'm living good. I got a lot of cars.
Speaker 2: I love cars.
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, we're good, right, you drive.
Speaker 5: Fast for a living. You didn't mention anything foreign that
Speaker 5: is really really fast.
Speaker 6: I'm good because I trust my race car way more
Speaker 6: than any street car that goes fast.
Speaker 3: Okay, so I'm good. I drive it on Sundays, okay.
Speaker 2: One yeah, yeah, Bubby, We're gonna get you out of her.
Speaker 1: This one for black young kids that may be listening
Speaker 1: and get them interested in NASCAR to be like you
Speaker 1: because you said at a very young age you driving
Speaker 1: the midgets and you like always wanted to be on
Speaker 1: the NASCAR, so you wanted to drive. How do we
Speaker 1: get other minorities interested in NASCAR?
Speaker 2: Oh Man, such a good question. I think it.
Speaker 3: I think winning on Sundays definitely helps.
Speaker 6: You know for me that that gets like the stake
Speaker 6: in the ground, that gets the roots in the ground
Speaker 6: right and creates a foundation how we make getting started
Speaker 6: in motorsports mainstream. It is so underground it doesn't matter
Speaker 6: if you're trying to be that one driver, Indy car driver,
Speaker 6: NASCAR driver. The go cart tracks are not some hey
Speaker 6: show up here and have a good time. It is
Speaker 6: underground and it costs a lot of money. And so
Speaker 6: I think it's understanding. There's probably so many kids out
Speaker 6: there that I know, there's so many kids out there
Speaker 6: that want to race and have no idea that there's
Speaker 6: a go car track or a racing facility within ten
Speaker 6: miles of their house, right.
Speaker 3: And it's about the exposure.
Speaker 6: It's about being comfortable to go out there and just watch,
Speaker 6: become a fan, learn as much as you can, and
Speaker 6: then when you build up the confidence, the courage. You
Speaker 6: go ask somebody, how do I do this? How do
Speaker 6: I become this? The first thing people are going to
Speaker 6: say is money. The way that the sport is evolved now,
Speaker 6: Like the driver that has them a lot of talent
Speaker 6: and no money versus the driver who has a lot
Speaker 6: of money and notes are no talent. You know, he
Speaker 6: is getting the opportunity first over the guy with talent,
Speaker 6: and so I hate that it's that way. But everything's
Speaker 6: gotten expensive these days, but motorsports, I mean, you're racing
Speaker 6: cards at the end of the day. It's expensive and
Speaker 6: so understanding that figuring out how to get your foot
Speaker 6: in the door, but understanding that it is so underground
Speaker 6: you have to do your research. I encourage everybody to
Speaker 6: get on Google Maps or whatever it is and type
Speaker 6: in race tracks nearby and go and enjoy it because
Speaker 6: there are so many different forms of racing to get
Speaker 6: started in, and everybody wants to be a driver. I
Speaker 6: get that, but there's only thirty eight thirty six of
Speaker 6: us I get to do it in the world. It
Speaker 6: gets harred. Not everybody can be a driver, but you
Speaker 6: can be a part of a race team. There are
Speaker 6: so many opportunities that I think all of us can
Speaker 6: do a better job of showcasing. Hey, this might be
Speaker 6: an avenue for you, This might be an avenue for you. Like,
Speaker 6: come be a part of our team in some fashion.
Speaker 6: Let's learn together and grow together.
Speaker 4: I like it.
Speaker 2: Bubba Man. Congratulations man, We're proud of you.
Speaker 3: Thank you.
Speaker 2: Check this out.
Speaker 1: When you win the Cup, you're in the playoff in
Speaker 1: the Cup, come back and celebrate with us.
Speaker 6: I'll be there. I'll be there from the racetrack. I'll
Speaker 6: call you from the bus from victory line.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 2: Appreciate it, Bubba Man.
Speaker 1: Congratulations, Congratulations on the new kid, Congratulations on the wind Man.
Speaker 2: Come back and see us soon. All right, we'll do.
Speaker 2: Thank you, guys, Bubba Wallace, Ladies, gentlemen, Yes, sir bad
Speaker 2: that was great. It was great. Like I said, i've
Speaker 2: had it.
Speaker 1: I've had him on, oh Joe when I when I
Speaker 1: first started club, I had them on and we talked
Speaker 1: a long time and got into the weeds of it,
Speaker 1: and we talked about the drivers. We you know, you
Speaker 1: know obviously Wendell Scott, but you know, we talked about
Speaker 1: Richard Patty and cal Yarborough and Bobby and Donnie Allison
Speaker 1: and Darryl Waltrip and you know all the guys Harry
Speaker 1: Gantt and Austin Bill from Dawsonville and Buddy Baker, the
Speaker 1: Wood Brothers, you know, oh Joe bad Back when I was,
Speaker 1: when I was a kid, Nascar was it in the South?
Speaker 2: Black, white, it didn't matter.
Speaker 1: You go to the you go to the convenience store
Speaker 1: and they had the band down of they had all
Speaker 1: the little bandawmnage. You saw all the racing cars. Uh
Speaker 1: uh Dale Earnhardt Sr. So you had, I mean, you
Speaker 1: had all the paraphern there, the jackets hanging up, the
Speaker 1: cavs uh. And then if you're from the South, you
Speaker 1: know exactly what I'm talking about. And there was no
Speaker 1: there was really no. There was no Iowa, there was
Speaker 1: no there was no California racing. Everything was from the South,
Speaker 1: basically from Virginia all the way down.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 1: It was it. It was unbelievable. And to talk about it, man,
Speaker 1: but I was, Uh. It was great to have Bubba
Speaker 1: on and get an opportunity to talk. You know, from
Speaker 1: time to time, I like having I like having guys
Speaker 1: on from a sport that we don't really talk about
Speaker 1: a whole lot, and it gives our chat, give the
Speaker 1: chats an opportunity to hear about something that they're probably
Speaker 1: not as familiar with, or and and and to get
Speaker 1: a guy get an opportunity on like Bubba to show
Speaker 1: his personality.
Speaker 5: And the funny thing too about it on is is
Speaker 5: I've been to many many NASCAR races. I can talk
Speaker 5: to Bourbons, talk to Pacifics a little bit. And I
Speaker 5: don't think people people actually want to give it a
Speaker 5: chance because they just view it as cars going fast
Speaker 5: in the circle.
Speaker 2: But yeah, strategy is a lot of strategy behind it,
Speaker 2: a lot.
Speaker 5: But I never I would never want to explain the
Speaker 5: strategy to somebody who's never been. I want to get
Speaker 5: you in an environment. I just need to get your environment.
Speaker 5: I just need to get you in them stands, get
Speaker 5: you a nice beer, get your hot dog, just some popcorn,
Speaker 5: and just then allow you to experience it there and
Speaker 5: then you'll get a better feel for it. It's more
Speaker 5: than just going in the circle, because just tell it,
Speaker 5: just tell you watch it on TV. It does no justice, man.
Speaker 1: Until until you see them cars traveling at one hundred
Speaker 1: and eighty to two hundred miles an hour and they're
Speaker 1: this far apart. So you talk about the full five
Speaker 1: or you go seventy five eighty five. I'm talking about
Speaker 1: highways that everybody knows. Or you set on the on
Speaker 1: rush out and you ate yep like o Jo say
Speaker 1: you rush hour and the cars are going traveling one
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty miles an hour and they're this close
Speaker 1: to each other.
Speaker 5: No room for error, There is no room for error.
Speaker 1: And when those cars come and then when those cars
Speaker 1: come by and you you could just I mean you
Speaker 1: could just hear it move.
Speaker 2: Hey.
Speaker 5: The best part is when the announcer says, drivers, start
Speaker 5: your engines, start it started. That feeling is it's like
Speaker 5: no other.
Speaker 1: When they find that bag up on your and they
Speaker 1: start head to the track and they start doing.
Speaker 2: Like this, and then warmed they wanted to grip mad
Speaker 2: Ain't not like it, on Joe, Ain't nothing like it.
Speaker 2: Man ain't nothing like it.
Speaker 5: You've been to Charlotte before. You've never been to Charlotte.
Speaker 2: I've never been to Charlotte.
Speaker 5: No, okay, yeah, Charlotte. I've been in Charlotte, Daytona, Iowa
Speaker 5: once Homestead, which is right, but like a thirty minute
Speaker 5: drive down the road.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we got Hampton, We we got Hampton. Hampton is
Speaker 1: so hard to get to because there's only one way
Speaker 1: in and there's one way out.
Speaker 5: That's traffic.
Speaker 1: So you talking about a couple of hundreds, Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, Hampton,
Speaker 1: Hampton Joy So there's only oh Joe, it's two lanes.
Speaker 2: So you going in bro So unless you get the
Speaker 2: helicopter in, good luck, good luck.
Speaker 1: But uh yeah, man, it's uh you got to, you
Speaker 1: got to, you got it. You need to experience it
Speaker 1: to get a true appreciation, all right, Joe, oh, Joe.
Speaker 2: Jared Jones says he just can't help himself today.
Speaker 1: He said last year's chance for CD Lamb's contract extension
Speaker 1: was much louder than yesterday's chance for Michaeh.
Speaker 2: Jerry said, Man, that was a little faint.
Speaker 1: Noise compared to the way they were hollering last year.
Speaker 2: Paid Lamb.
Speaker 1: Whoever's not in you could count it a few holler
Speaker 1: at that, but it was big and loud last year
Speaker 1: chance for Lamb.
Speaker 5: I don't know, I don't know. Listen. I told you
Speaker 5: what I think Jerry's doing. I told you what I
Speaker 5: think he's doing. He's purpose every time he's not Frankness.
Speaker 5: But every time it's time for a player to get paid,
Speaker 5: even though he has to pay them top dollar, I
Speaker 5: think he purposely waits the last to the last minute
Speaker 5: for a reason. He's doing on purpose so the attension
Speaker 5: can always be on the Cowboys, so the tension can
Speaker 5: always be on be on him. Let's say, what if
Speaker 5: he did pay Michael Parsons already? What would be the
Speaker 5: conversation would be the conversation right now?
Speaker 2: Are you? Are you what you're gonna do with DK?
Speaker 5: What do you mean that that that is scheduled to
Speaker 5: make what sixty sixty one, sixty two something like that?
Speaker 2: That's your billion dollars?
Speaker 3: Hey?
Speaker 2: Is it gonna extend him?
Speaker 5: Extend him? He just signed it.
Speaker 2: Man, he got two years. He got a little love
Speaker 2: of year left on that already. Yeah.
Speaker 1: That that that do that say? Hey, that's what I say.
Speaker 1: Oh Joe, Hey, that's what I say. These years go
Speaker 1: by fast. You look up. I mean, hey, I just
Speaker 1: remember celebrating the fiftieth birthday. Now I'm close to the sixty,
Speaker 1: then I am fifty. And that's the thing. You look up, man, Man,
Speaker 1: this time ain't waiting on nobody with you.
Speaker 5: Oh, it ain't one thing, and one thing is it
Speaker 5: will never do it will never, it would never say that.
Speaker 5: You remember that quote you said about why you wear
Speaker 5: a watch? Remember that quote? I got a rich out,
Speaker 5: I ain't got my pad? I will watch?
Speaker 3: Why?
Speaker 2: Hey? Hey, how value my time is not to tell time? Yeah?
Speaker 2: That guy after this year, that can have two years left?
Speaker 5: Okay, okay, dang that that that killing him? Boy, that
Speaker 5: killing him? They one hell of a team office eighty.
Speaker 1: Million dollars signing bonus two hundred and thirty one million
Speaker 1: and guaranteed money.
Speaker 5: That's what he got.
Speaker 2: That what that guy?
Speaker 5: Go ahead?
Speaker 2: Brother, Yeah, I'm.
Speaker 1: Mad at him at all. I mean, you know him
Speaker 1: much a man got to pay? How much a man
Speaker 1: got to be worth to pay you two hundred and
Speaker 1: thirty and guarantee it.
Speaker 5: I'm on now, come on now.
Speaker 1: Hey to the man, the man they got one hundred
Speaker 1: million dollar home. How much money do you think he
Speaker 1: actually got?
Speaker 5: If you can afford one hundred million dollar home, you
Speaker 5: know what? I give you one better? How about the
Speaker 5: man that had a three hundred and sixty million dollars.
Speaker 2: Yet that's a crew.
Speaker 1: You got to have a crew probably thirty thirty to
Speaker 1: fifty people.
Speaker 5: And don't get me started, man, there's a whole different
Speaker 5: We think athletes are rich, well, hell, what do you
Speaker 5: think for people that's paying them?
Speaker 3: On?
Speaker 1: No, they rich and wealthy, they're wealthy. Differ between well
Speaker 1: rich and wealthy. The wealthy the wealthy people pay the
Speaker 1: rich people's salary.
Speaker 2: That's how that work. That's how that worked. Oh, hold on,
Speaker 2: hold on, hold on.
Speaker 5: You know a there's another level above the wealthy people.
Speaker 2: The author, the ultra.
Speaker 5: Come on, man, Yeah, when you start.
Speaker 1: When you start getting all joed, when you start getting
Speaker 1: when you start getting to that twenty thirty. For first
Speaker 1: of all, you start getting twenty thirty billion, that's it.
Speaker 1: Now you get the fifty to seventy five. And then
Speaker 1: you get these guys that got a hundred, and then
Speaker 1: they go from one to one fifty, one fifty to
Speaker 1: two hundred, two hundred to two fifty. Now you're getting
Speaker 1: that Elon Muskin that's in a class by himself that
Speaker 1: he's three hundred billion. And then you know, you got
Speaker 1: Larry Ellison, and you got Mark Zuckerberg, and you got
Speaker 1: you know, Jeff Bezos.
Speaker 2: You got those guys the two hundreds. But but oh Joe,
Speaker 2: it's kind of like once you get like to a
Speaker 2: certain number, it's like hot.
Speaker 1: You your body don't know the difference between two hundred
Speaker 1: degrees and three hundred degrees.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, once you get fifty billion, you get fifty back.
Speaker 2: What what can't.
Speaker 1: You buy with fifty billion that you need to seventy
Speaker 1: five billion for? It's not just saying I want to
Speaker 1: have it, which I get. I ain't got no problem
Speaker 1: with that.
Speaker 5: And it's it's so funny when it comes to billionaires.
Speaker 5: The toys that they like to buy are completely different
Speaker 5: than what the million is like to buy their toys.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh yeah, they look they get they get let me,
Speaker 1: they dropping, they drop, they dropping, They dropping one hundred
Speaker 1: million to a million.
Speaker 2: Artwork, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: They got a painting, you know, Picasso or they God
Speaker 1: winn Raw. You know, they spend they spend money Michelangelo,
Speaker 1: They spending money on Picasto. They spending money like that,
Speaker 1: O Joe.
Speaker 2: You know. And they got a home over here.
Speaker 1: They got a home over there. And you know they
