Hey, it's Brett Vesely and I'm here with Byron from MMP Guns. Look, Byron, I have a friend wanting to sell some guns he inherited. What's the best way for him to do that?
C
Brett, the last thing you want to do is sell the gun to someone who can't legally own one. Tell him not to put himself at risk and come into MMP Guns where he'll get a fair offer and he can rest easy knowing it's not getting into the wrong hands.
A
Okay, but what if he lives out of state?
C
Easy legalgunbuyer.com and he can do it all online. It that simple.
D
There you have it.
A
MMP guns or legal gunbu.com the safe and legal way to sell your firearms.
E
You thought that was funny? You were laughing like a hyena when he said it.
D
What the hell is wrong with you? All right, there you go. Metallica is all we're thinking about for a little bit here. That's pretty good deal and you guys can benefit from it. The word is mega force. Dale is not coming in today. In the easy joke that we said he's getting a brain scan. They still haven't found it. Dot, dot, dot. Haha. But he is getting that. So good luck to our buddy Dale. He's going, he's going in there, taking a Look at the NFL's looking at his monster brain, trying to figure out, you know, what's going on. And I'm hoping.
F
Well, you heard from the past two players that died that were pretty young. One was like 52. And the family is totally.
D
Everybody wants brains. Yeah, well, that's the thing. And Dale's hopefully gets a huge paycheck. That's the, that's the goal in all this is to be make sure that the family's covered when Dale starts going full Dale on the end of this. But, you know, we'll see he and Nash on the podcast, which we had to miss this last week because of me again. But they have a bet on who's going to die first.
A
Who's your fanduel on?
D
Oh, you know, it's a tough one because Dave is so bright red and wound up so tight. There's no way his heart, it's an explosion. He is. He is an absolute tempest of blood pressure. And he says he's not, but he just talks. He turns bright red and it's just. He just looks like he's not going to make it. And then Dale, of course, is just hanging by a thread every step. You're just waiting for that to be the last one. So it is my fear that they will be at my funeral because that means something terrible has happened. There's no way. And I've made that there's no way I die of natural causes before either of those two. Even if I get diagnosed with something terrible today, I'm still going to outlive them. They maybe have the summer, the two of them, and they're going to go 1, 2. They're going to be like those old couples that die in the same week. There's no way. David.
F
He couldn't live without him.
D
Well, no, I just think that they're just unhealthy.
F
I can't quit.
D
I wish it was that. There's nothing romantic about it. They just. They're just both so wildly unhealthy. It's just going to be dominoes. Boom, boom. But. And, yeah, but Dale's going in. So we don't have a Dale today. And that's, you know, we'll live with that. But we do have is Ron Capps and he's NHRA superstar world champion. Multiple to too many to count. Not as many as John Force, but too many to count. And he's going to be popping in here in a little bit. They're doing some time trials, I guess today. Is that right?
F
He might be coming in with Maddie Gordon. Who Girl, that is the top fuel
D
he's got on his team.
F
On his team.
D
Nice. Yeah. Caps is a businessman now. That's awesome. One Ball Racing is going to join us in just a little bit for yet another. It's been probably 15 years of caps too. We've probably been at this with him for a long, long time. Maybe even more Long. Yeah, crazy longer. Ron Caps will be here in just a little bit. One of the best people on the planet. It's 98.
G
Morning sickness. Medicate Holmberg's morning sickness.
D
Well, for a guy who goes 350 miles an hour for a living, he sure is taking his sweet time getting here. To make him drive him? No, then we wouldn't even. Well, see you tomorrow. Ron Capp's gonna join us in just a little bit. We had that story earlier this morning about, would you shave 10 years off of your life expectancy? 10 mil for $10 million? I have it, Brady. Don't worry about it. You need to jump all over me anyway. What if the doctor said you got 11 years to live? Kyle came up with this, and he says, so what if your lifespan. The doctor said you got about 11 guaranteed years left, but for $10 million, we'll shave off 10 of those.
F
So you're down to 110 to 110 mil?
D
Yeah. You basically get one more year. Is it worth the 10 million? At what age do you stop thinking about that deal? I gotta take that because a guy,
F
one of the other people said, would you. How about 5 mil for 5 years?
D
Like, five years is easy. Yeah. $5 million for five years. 10 million. And you've only got 11 left guaranteed. Like the doctor says, you've got 11 years to live. Your life expectancy for a man is 75. Right. So if you're 65 and somebody says, I'll give you $10 million, but you're gonna die this year, would you take it?
F
Yeah. Yeah, I wouldn't.
B
You wouldn't?
F
Yeah.
D
Why?
F
At 75?
D
Or you wanna. You want to. You want to careen this thing into the guardrails into your 70s? Yeah, I could, man. You think I'm not a doctor, but I'm pretty sure you're not gonna do that. It's gonna be ugly. You what?
A
Take 10 million for one year left?
H
Yeah, sure.
D
Why not?
A
Yeah, I've got a good run now. Run for that one year.
B
Exactly.
D
I keep saying that, like, if credits started rolling right now on this movie, it'd be like, that's fine. People always say life is short. I'm like, no, it's not. We're in the tail end of this thing and Act 3 is Dragon.
F
It would be a glorious year.
D
It'd be a great year.
I
Oh, you.
D
You would rather test out what you're going to be like in your 70s than take 10 million and just go for another 12 months.
F
The. You're gonna benefit from that would be Kirby.
D
Well, yeah.
F
The one year.
D
So how about it's Brewster's Millions, though? You gotta zero it out.
H
You can't.
D
You can't, like, start handing it off. I like that you said that and Ronnie part at the end to kind of keep yourself out of the doghouse. And that girl, that lady that steals from you. The. But for one year.
H
Yeah.
D
I think you should take it. If anybody in the room should be saying yes to that, it's you.
F
I get to pick the day when the year starts.
D
The day. The day the money arrives. You get 12 months.
A
Okay. As long as my dogs are taken care of.
D
That's kind of how I am. I'm like, people are fine because they've got cognitive reasoning, so I don't worry so much about leaving them behind. Yep. Dogs are like reliant on. But, you know, if you've got somebody taking care of them, like, all right, we're in good shape. I made sure everybody's in good. That's good. Yeah.
F
You don't want to spin those after the fact. Like, the pets, you know, you're making sure they're dealing that earlier. Or you.
D
What do you mean?
I
You live the whole time Megan's not dying with him.
D
Yeah. No matter low. What are you asking?
F
I don't know. I was just thinking, like, when would you. Yeah. Make sure the pets are right? I mean, like, if. If Megan wasn't in the lion.
D
I have. My Trajan estate plan is all about my pets. In fact, it's named the pet plan. Yeah, that's. It's. It's not about people. People can care for themselves. This is about them. And they're well taken care of. But if I had 10 million bucks, I'd be. The first thing I'd do is spend a few million dollars on making sure they've got, like, a facility for my dogs. That is outrageous. And then make sure that I put the proper people in place. Yeah, I don't have one of those oh, I gotta live forever kind of vibes. That's fine.
A
And I'm a thiago. Just text. Well, what about your wife? Go. You'll be taking care of the dogs.
D
There you go. She'll be fine. You make decisions, Mathias. You get dogs to look after.
A
Yeah.
D
And you're going to have a hell of a run with Brett, right, for that one year?
H
Hell, yeah.
D
One year. You get to be included in at least three months of that. And then he's going to start farming it out. But still, what does he have to lose. There's no way to do a divorce. You're going to take half. Yeah, that. That would be like.
F
Just cut her the half.
D
Think about it. Think of how freeing that would be. Like it just like. You don't have to sit and worry about any of that. It's like, okay, you're. Well, after three months, you're like, I'm gonna tote you around to this beach all day long.
F
Still work, John.
D
Yeah, I know. Those people piss me off again. It would be. The first thing I'd do is to go get plastic surgery on my middle finger to come here and flip everybody off on my last day. And I like working here. But yeah, one last year. That's not a bad thing. Brady. You can start eating those McDonald's arches at Breakneck speeds and not have to worry about anything.
A
Shamrock shakes.
D
The chase Shamrock shakes until you drown. Brady, you might not make a year. You might die in green milkshakes.
B
First month.
D
Wouldn't that be a shame?
F
Impossible. The machines are never working.
D
That's true. They don't ever have those things up to snuff anyway. It's a good question, Kyle. I like that one. 10 million one year. Rather than, you know, dragging your single kidney nonsense, would it be different? 70s, 10 years earlier? What do you mean, 40s?
F
Like, yeah, when you're 40.
D
I don't know. Look who's here.
F
The gang is here.
D
Ron Caps brought beautiful people. You can go home. Come on in here, Maddie. Everybody sit down. No, we're going right on. I'm John. Cap, stand in the background. Maddie's here. For God's sake. What do we need to talk to you for? What are you going to the bathroom for? Christ, matty. He goes 700 miles an hour for a living. It took him an hour to get here. What was he walking?
E
What's up with that?
D
What is going on? Introduce yourself, Maddie. Who are you there? She's talking to Brett already. Grab that mic and. Yeah, get the headphones on so you can hear everything properly. You're a race car driver.
F
She's a speed demon.
D
You are. This is. Why do you hate your parents so much? Grab the mic and get in on us.
E
Okay. Okay. All right. I'm here. I'm here.
D
Matty. What's your last name?
E
Matty Gordon.
D
Matty Gordon. And you are a. You're a beautiful model race car driver.
E
I like that. That sounds cool.
D
You know it. Let's not pretend your Instagram with a little swag. Let's not pretend your Instagram isn't filled with you in, like, dresses and bikinis.
E
It's not.
I
It's not.
E
Not.
D
Why not?
E
Because I'm a race car driver.
D
I work on race cars, but fan base. Through the moon.
E
No, it's been good, though.
D
Yeah.
F
When she starts winning. How did you start.
D
How'd you get into that?
E
It's a family, so my grandfather started driving about 40 years ago, and then my dad drove for. For 30 years.
D
Holy cow.
E
My sister and I. I mean, we went. I went to my first race at eight days old.
C
So.
H
Does any remember it?
E
I know. You know how you have, like, those milestones?
D
Like.
E
Oh, you know, she started walking here. Well, I rolled over at Chicago. Everything's like. What racetrack?
F
Documented.
E
Right?
D
At the racetrack?
F
Yeah.
D
No kidding.
F
Yep.
E
Basically grew up at the racetrack.
D
So you grew up around the noise and the fun and all the stuff, right?
E
Yes.
D
Oh, I gotta get that one on.
E
Oh, yes.
D
And then. And then how do you run into caps?
E
So we're from the same hometown.
D
Oh, really?
E
So San Luis Obispo.
D
Oh, I'm sorry. I'll talk slower. I didn't know you're from where Ron's from. I've been speeding by you like one of your cousins. Yeah. All right, so you're from Slo. Okay, I gotcha. The slow, as they say.
E
The slow.
H
I've already warned her about you guys.
D
So you know why they call it slow, right?
E
I don't.
D
Because caps grew up there.
E
Oh, man. Good thing he's here to defend himself.
D
How do you have an accent from Kentucky?
F
It's a racing accident.
D
Who developed that in San Luis Obispo?
E
Yeah. You know, when you go to the races, you're around all those Midwest people, you know.
H
Oh, nice. Yeah.
D
Cabs. Doesn't have one of those.
F
That's part of the training. They teach you that accent.
H
Good thing there's no video in here, huh?
D
Yeah.
H
You turn red.
E
I'm getting red, guys.
B
Okay, so you.
D
You are. You're racing. So when is first time you start racing?
E
So we just finished testing. Got my. My license upgrade.
B
That was your first race?
E
My first race ever?
C
No, when.
D
When did you start? Like, when did you get behind the wheel and go, I'm doing this?
E
Well, I mean, I started driving when I was 8 years old, but I started my.
D
It's illegal.
E
I did testing in the top fuel car last week.
H
She drove an alcohol funny car. The slower funny cars. Yards. Yeah. 250 mile an hour.
D
That was passive.
F
So that's what I saw, like, last week or two weeks ago. You're signing the papers.
E
Yeah.
F
You're officially licen.
B
Yeah.
D
So you are not. You are just getting into this like right now.
H
Made her first runs last week.
E
Yes.
H
First time ever. Went 325 on her license.
D
That's your first try?
E
Yes. I went faster than I've ever gone, so I would go 271 to the quarter mile. I went over 280 to the eighth mile, which is half the distance.
F
That's all numbers.
D
So previously you were just driving Buicks around real fast.
B
Yeah.
F
What was your first car?
E
Toyota Tacoma.
D
And you were going like 95 and go woohoo.
E
Yeehaw.
D
All through San Luis Obispo and the need for speed like a cowboy hat. And then. And then
G
morning sickness medicate kupd.

G
Holmberg's morning sickness.
D
Yeah. I don't get the accent that's throwing me off.
E
Hey, I didn't know I had an accent till now.
F
Oh, my gosh.
A
You can definitely hear it.
D
We're driving around over there with Peso Ro.
F
There's a wrench in your hand. Yeah, you need.
E
I think I need a cowboy hat when I come to this race.
D
Next time. I think that's it. Yeah, we out there.
B
Look at Sam Simeon.
D
That's Sam Simeon. They got that castle. That's crazy. Anyway, so that's crazy that you're just now starting this?
E
Yes.
D
And is this human trafficking, or are you wanting to do this? Is Cass kidnapping?
F
Something was going on.
D
Because this doesn't seem like. You shouldn't even have the uniform yet. And here you are talking about the races.
F
I thought she said Ron bought me eight years ago.
D
Yeah, that's what I'm hearing. You're from San Luis Obispo now. Drop the hillbilly nonsense. I tell Tri Uncle Ron. Don't call me that.
F
She's in trouble after this. I told you, too heavy with the accent.
D
Jesus Christ. They're gonna know you're from Tennessee. Out.
E
Now.
D
We got Nancy Guthrie in the back
B
of the car, too.
D
What's going on? Sorry. Was that too far? Anyway, little too soon. Is it too soon? I gotta find her first. I get you. Anyway, so you're not really a race car driver yet?
E
Well, I've been a race car driver since I was 8 years old. But I'm a new Top Fuel driver.
D
I mean, I've been a professional baseball player since I was like seven. But I'm not. I haven't done it yet.
E
There you go.
A
There you.
D
You were going to get in your first race, like in the next. Like this year.
F
So did you go to the different levels, like pro stock or just right to Top Fuel?
E
Yeah, so I went junior dragsters for 10 years. Went into super Comp for about a year. Alcohol funny car for two years, and then now Top Fuel.
H
She drove her dad's alcohol funny car, which the cars like mine, but they go 260, 270. Her dad won a world championship in that same car. And then he got out of the seat and put her in a couple years ago. And ironically, I signed her license off in Minnesota in that funny car. So she jumped right into a 270 mile an hour. Funny car. And she's very mechanical. Like, I watched them grow up.
F
Is she AI.
D
Yeah, she's almost robotic.
H
But she. She works on the car, builds a clutch. Her and her sister build the whole race car. Pretty much.
D
Amazing.
H
So her dad is now back in the seat, but when we hired her, we built a team around her.
D
Awesome.
H
And so Carlisle Tools came on board, and she got her license upgrade. And so we kick off the season at the Gator Nationals in Florida next week. And then we come here.
D
What a story.
H
March Twentiet.
B
Yeah.
D
This is. I'm so happy for you. And I don't know you at all, but this is so cool that you just get to plop down in this thing right away. And. And were you friends with her dad?
H
Yeah. And so you guys grandfather actually erased a funny car back when I was a kid.
D
No kidding.
H
You know, my dad raced, and so I would see your grandpa. And then her dad at the time was a little younger than me, but he was a little kid running around the pit area. So.
D
Yeah.
H
Yeah, I've known him forever.
D
What a story. So then you've known the whole family for a long time. You kidnap her, take her away from the family, plop her down in a car.
E
I was waiting for somebody.
D
No, it's coming. I'm. I'm.
H
I'm.
D
No kidding. I'm literally floored that this is how this progression has occurred.
F
You hop in and you go at 260.
D
Yeah. That's crazy.
H
Well, you got to get them. They got to come out and touch your race car and touch the engine. These guys.
B
Oh, yeah.
H
Good luck. Every time they do it.
F
I'll do that.
B
That's true.
E
Guys got to come out.
D
Yeah. Ron's always asking us to touch stuff. Is he doing the same. Wink at me. Wink at me. If that's a thing. Just do it. Just.
F
It's okay.
D
It's okay. Because he did it with Hagen for a while. Then Hagen got huge, and Hagen started working out.
J
Working out.
F
He's like, no more touching.
D
I worked out. I worked out with Hagen once. And he goes, never again. Every curl. Never again, Ron. Every curl.
E
He warned me about you guys. Now I know why.
D
Telling you.
B
It's scary.
H
Han did or they did?
D
Yeah. This is so cool. Good for you.
B
And do you golf?
E
Do I golf? Yeah, I can golf.
D
You can golf. That was the question.
H
Golf.
E
Am I going?
D
Ask your owner. Is she allowed to go? She love to answer that. Heck, back home in Tennessee. Oh, it's a bispo we to golf
E
all the time back in Tennessee.
D
We don't golf up there now. Come on back. Yeah. Oh, this is cool. All right, so now we're rooting for you. How old are you?
E
21.
D
Jesus Christ. This is too soon.
F
And so your sister is on the team too?
E
No, she's on my family's team. She builds all the short blocks for my dad's car. So if she left there, we'd be in big trouble.
H
You'd walk in their pit area and these two little girls are building the race car. It was crazy to walk in there for people to see that. And then she jumps in it and goes 270, man.
D
All right, that's incredible. That's. That's a story right there. All right. Maddie Gordon has joined us with Ron Capps, the great Ron Caps.
H
Yeah, I'm here too.
D
You're here as well.
H
How long it's been that way? All morning. We got to the tv, the first TV student want me. They just took her in there.
D
She's. I can't. You put your helmet on. That's all people want from you.
F
Yeah, you're better off. Just come in with a helmet.
D
Yeah, just wear the helmet and then like, who's that? You know, this is, this is a good move. Like, this is like, this is like what an incredible story. Like that is so great. And a rarely does somebody get a chance to be part of the championship team as well, which is really cool.
H
Yes.
E
No, it is, it's. It's beyond a dream, you know, this was never something that I thought was in the cards for me. They say shoot for the stars. This was like outer space.
F
And it happened quick.
E
It happened, man. It was the middle of my rookie season when Ron approached my dad and asked, hey, would she.
D
How much for that one?
E
You guys, I don't know where to go with this.
D
Back to Dollywood. I know where.
F
Yeah. If you weren't doing this, what would you be doing?
E
I don't know that I want to answer that. You guys are going to spin it.
D
Do you think if there was. If racing wasn't in the cards that you. What would you do? Did you go to college? You don't need college.
E
No, I actually. My sister and I started a manufacturing company. I was 15 and she was 13.
D
What are you making?
E
Anything metal. 10 foot racks to a little trinket.
H
No kidding.
E
Lathe parts.
H
She welds better than most guys on the team.
D
I can't do it.
F
Opening those direct mail pieces. And there you are hanging on garage Racks.
D
Yeah. Yeah. Wow, that's amazing.
F
Yeah.
H
Follow her Instagram and go back and you'll see her welding and in the shop building stuff. It's pretty wild.
D
Oh, that sounds boring when you say it. Watch this girl weld on Instagram.
F
Watch her make a bead.
D
I'm gonna go to AI and watch other things on Instagram. Chick welding. That sounds terrible.
F
Yeah.
D
And most of them, when you think of that, it's like flash. Is it Flash dance? You know the movie Flash Dance?
E
No, I did flash.
D
No, no, she. She wanted to weld or dance, but she was a weld welder.
H
Oh, yeah, about that.
D
Yeah, she was a welder. And there's never. You can't dance. You're a welder. And then she became a dancer.
F
She's a good welder, too.
A
How about that?
H
So bring up movies to her all the time. And she had no idea. What?
D
Terrible. They don't know anything. Yeah, she just says Frozen references. You say Loki constantly, right? Oh, Loki. That was a good race.
H
But Loki.
D
I want some fries. I get up with some fries. Loki. I can lowkey go surprise. Yeah. Does she say stuff like that? Oh, nice job, Ron. That was perf. Perf.
F
Yeah.
D
How's that? That's it.
H
I got my strip this morning when I walked out.
D
CAPS, would you take. Would you cut 10 years off of your life for $10 million?
H
Is that the morning question?
D
I popped up and it's on my brain.
H
No, you wouldn't? No.
D
All right, well, that's how well Caps is doing.
H
I didn't think I'd make it this far. I mean, you said so.
F
I'm telling you, two years ago, that would have been different.
D
Get a heartbeat before all the championships. Like 10 million. I gotta boost that number a little bit. It's.
B
Maddie, would you.
D
You're young. Ten years off your life expectancy, you get $10 million. Right now you're one of those people wants to live a long time.
F
Yeah.
E
I'm gonna say no. No. I'm gonna say no.
D
That's dumb.
A
What was the other one, though? 10 million for the one.
D
If you had 10 years left, guaranteed. But they'll give you $10 million and they cut 10 years off. But you get one year with 10 million bucks to do whatever you want.
H
Oh, no, you wouldn't.
D
You'd live the 10 years broke.
E
Yeah, bro.
D
Well, nobody's gonna invest in you if you're gonna die. Hey, Ron, I have an idea. Did you. I don't know if you heard earlier, Josh Blue, the comedian Was here, and he's got cerebral palsy. And I hike Camelback mountain with him and stuff once because he wanted to hike. Kill him in Jaro. And I'm like, you're an idiot. Hike that with me, and then we'll talk. And it took six hours to hike. That takes an hour and 10 minutes normally. So Josh and I were on this thing, and he. And he put him. He came up with the idea of palsy on ice, where people with palsy race. And I'm frankly tired of handicapped people saying, oh, we can do whatever you can. No, you can't. And so we put this. We put a game, and you came to mind. We put a. We put a movie or like, a TV show together, proving to people with palsy they need to shut up about that whole. We can do it. And we put them behind the race car.
H
Oh.
D
And say, all right, punch it. You think you can do everything we can do.
H
Punch it.
D
Maddie makes a run. Bam. 280. And comes out like that. All right, Paulsey.
B
Beat that.
D
And then you say, you can't even do what she did, and she's brand new. And then we. And then make them, like, ice skate.
H
What would you call that? You know, to get a name?
F
Well, we had.
D
Stop being so proud of yourself. You're a wreck. Don't act like we don't notice that kind of thing. Josh would do it. He'd be all over that. Oh, yeah, he would. You know, he has people that said, I can do anything you can do. Like, no. And then I would just, like, run to my car or I'd, like, run up the stairs.
F
The Lamont race. We have to run.
D
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I would just be like, all right,
H
give me two laps down before he gets in.
D
I'm gonna show you that you can't. And it's not my fault, but quiet down. And then I just haul ass to my car, and then I drive my car. You can't even do that. Anyway, it's a different story.
F
I told you, Maddie, it's worth it for one season. We're not gonna re up the second season.
D
Well, no, it would be. Look, it would go viral. And I would play the role of the guy who's tired of hearing from, like, blind people who climb things. I'm like, remember, you know how they always have blind people that are like, we'll climb Mount Everest. And I'm like, just take them to Camelback. They won't know. And then march them up and down for, like, two days.
B
Days.
F
You gotta it's kind of cold, you know, just drop the temperature down.
D
Just say they're going through a heat spell. They're not gonna. You fly them around for 15 hours and you land in Phoenix. Anyway, it's nice to meet you, Maddie. It's not. And you guys want to do the entertainment drill with us? Yeah, Caps, what do you got for us? What's. What's on the brain for Ron? Caps, you always come in here and say, how's. How's the year gonna look? What are we good?
H
Yeah, we had a good test. Everything went good.
D
Testing in this weather?
H
You guys, we didn't test here. Test in Florida last week.
D
Okay. What are you doing here?
H
Just media pump of the race. Came to see you guys.
D
Well, that's what we love. Yeah, but you didn't see us first. Or the longest.
H
You guys wouldn't see us first.
D
That's not true.
H
I. I know this is the prime time right before you're up there.
D
So you show up to the party right before it closes so you can leave.
H
Oh, yeah, maybe.
D
That's actually pretty smart. Maddie learned from him. He's good.
E
Okay.
D
He's very good. Now, do you think someday day the queen will capture the trophy from like the. The student will become the teacher? You want to beat Ron Capps eventually and have your own team?
F
Yeah.
D
Well, you run them off the track.
E
I. I can't say anything, but it'd be pretty cool to run Ron Capps at some point.
D
I don't know what that means.
E
Maybe.
H
Maybe we're in different categories.
D
Oh, yeah. But eventually her goal, your goal is to get like somewhere where he is, but you're running a different car comp
E
where you were in like the same level, but just different categories. So dragster versus funny car. We'll never race against each other.
D
Let's do that anyway. Let's switch over to what he's doing. Oh, and let's take the crown.
E
I mean, let's just race against each other.
B
Yeah, that's what I mean.
D
You think you could beat him now?
E
Actually, well, dragsters go faster, so maybe
D
we go all things.
H
Thank you. There we go. Thank you.
D
She just told what, a three time world champion now?
E
I have not gone faster than dragster typically. Go a little faster.
D
Pipe it. Wait, how fast you just told the three time world champion with a hesitation in your voice. We'll see.
F
I'm already burying you.
D
Like Today at age 21, she looked at you and said, ah, I could probably take him here and there.
F
His car's Cute.
D
Yeah, his car's adorable. And you're gonna.
H
I remember when I had my first beer.
D
Yeah, exactly. Wow.
G
Morning sickness medicate. Okay. You pd.
B
It's John Holmberg here from the morning sickness to tell you about the core Institute. People who met me found out that I've had four major operations in the last four years. They're blown away. I've had both shoulders replaced and both hips replaced because I was an absolute disaster before my surgeries. I was in pain. Now no one knows I've had any issues. People who hear multiple surgeries assume they'll never be the same again. It's just not true. I'm better than I've been in 20 years. Stop quitting the things you love and get back to being the pain free you.
F
You love.
B
The Core institute dot com. It's John Holberg here from the morning sickness. Time to talk about TV's Doug Hopkins of My Home Group and Doug Hopkins dot com. Another satisfied listener called TV's Doug Hopkins and sold her home for cash. She reached out. Her name's Ashley. And Doug wants to make it simple. Buy your house for cash as is. You don't have to do anything. Just like Ashley. No strings attached. If he moves that price, you get $5,000. Want to sell that place? Start the process online@doug hopkins.com or grab
D
the phone and sing Hopkins 1-800-sale now.
G
Brain sickness.
D
Watch this. Could she even come close to touching you on the track?
H
Yeah.
D
What? Yeah.
H
Yeah.
B
She could beat you in a race.
H
She's a badass.
D
Oh, I know she's a badass, but she could. You'd think she'd do it.
F
Yeah.
D
So somebody who's four weeks into this can take over.
H
We started to build this team. Usually, you know, every F1, all this. These. They have wealthy parents who bring millions of dollars to get a ride driving. Right. Nascar. It's always like that. We built a team around her. No money. So I built it that way. And I was even willing to get out of my car and put her in mine if we didn't have a chance to have another team. Top Fuel, Dragster. So I think she. Yeah, I. I do.
D
That's pretty awesome. He's even saying that because he. In his brain, he's like, no effing. But he's being all politically correct and stuff.
F
Yes.
D
He would destroy you. It wouldn't even be close. And he knows maybe.
H
Yeah.
D
Yeah. Wow. How's the one ball?
H
Good.
D
We're attacked. We're good. Good.
H
We're good.
F
She Puts the ear muffs on.
H
Yeah, it's just hanging around.
D
Yes, that's what it does. All right, Brady, give them stories, and let's do the entertainment drill. It's brought. I got a story about my eye you're gonna love.
H
I saw the picture.
D
Did you see it? Horrifying, isn't it?
B
How?
D
Well, because. Well, I'm through the. The major part. I've got a gas. I keep saying it, but I got a gas bubble floating around in my eye right now. So if I do this to you, it's because I've got water, basically, inside.
F
It's like a Magic 8 ball.
D
Oh, you. Is it flushing? I was at.
H
Picture was gnarly.
D
Oh, it's gross. That was after the surgery. But I. I was at a steakhouse last night, and across from my table was an. An. Man from India, and he's cutting his. And I guess I was. I was winking at him the whole time. Didn't realize. And he just stopped cutting it. And I was like, well, you shouldn't be here anyway, because this is cow.
H
He was a Pink Panther fan. Hector Cluso over there.
D
Exactly. Switching. Like, what are you doing here?
B
That's.
D
You can't eat that. That's against everything you believe in. He had a steak. He's just carving it up, and he just put his knife and fork down and looked at me like, what are you looking at? Like, oh, Jesus.
F
What's your problem?
D
Yeah. I've been winking at that guy for an hour.
H
Double agent.
D
Yeah. So the entertainment drill is brought to you by Dr. Jay Schwartz and the Schwartz laser eye team over there. That. That center is unbelievable. And I tell you that. Complimentary consultation. You got floaties in your eyes at all?
H
I do. Yeah.
D
Go get checked.
H
I know. I've gotten.
D
Check. Did you. I tore my retina.
H
It's the negative G forces when the chutes open.
D
Can't imagine.
H
And so I have them a little more, and I've had a doctor tell me eventually I'm gonna have. When I get older, I'm gonna have surgery for them.
D
Don't wait.
H
Okay. For the.
D
For the retinal.
H
I'm gonna come back for the race. I want to make an appointment.
D
Oh, yeah. Oh, look, we're already.
H
Set me up. Yeah.
D
Complimentary consultation. Get it looked at, because it's not so much that it hurts or anything, because it doesn't. You have to stay face down for seven days, 24 hours. Oh, oh, try that. Try laying down for, like, an hour.
H
Yeah. For how long?
D
Seven Days. Well, actually five plus one if it's not, like, quite better. And it was. Yeah, it was horrible.
H
You know, Big Daddy Don Garla's retired because the retinas peeled off from the parachute setting.
D
Oh, is that real?
H
Yeah. Swear to God.
F
Yeah, I used to watch him when he was railing the tower.
D
The one time some kid walked up, said, daddy, Garland Garlett, I remember you back when you were relevant. And he put his arm around it
F
as a compliment, but, like.
D
Yeah. And garlic's went, what? And then they took the picture. That's exactly how that went down. Anyway, Dr. Jay Schwartz will take care of you. And if you're even seeing floaties or concerned, just get your eyes checked. When's the last time you got your eyes checked? Dr. J will handle that. Not that Dr. J. Dr. J. Schwartz. If Dr. J comes in, you're like, I'm leaving. This is not a professional. But he'll dunk on your eyes is what I'm saying. You go to Schwartz Laser Eye center, get that complimentary consultation and make sure. Sure you don't have to do the crap. I. I'm like Jesus of eyeballs. I went through it, so you didn't have to. And now I'm warning you how to avoid this thing. Schwarz Laser eye Center. It's teamidoc.com Brady. Entertain me with your friends.
F
Amanda Seyfried wore a prosthetic butthole for one of her recent movies.

Host: John Holmberg with Brady Bogen, Bret Vesely, Dick Toledo
Special Guests: Ron Capps (NHRA Champion), Maddi Gordon (NHRA Top Fuel Rookie)
This lively episode of Holmberg’s Morning Sickness kicks off with a philosophical twist, as the crew debates a viral "would you rather" scenario: Would you take $10 million today if you were guaranteed to die in a year? The show then shifts gears with in-studio appearances by NHRA legend Ron Capps and up-and-coming racer Maddi Gordon, exploring the world of professional drag racing, family legacies in motorsports, rookie nerves, and the lighter side of racing culture. The tone is irreverent, fast-paced, and packed with both inside jokes and insightful racing industry tidbits.
