Bert Kreischer 0:00

My new special, Lucky, is streaming right now on Netflix. Check it out.

Host 0:05

Is that why you wore a black shirt today?

Unnamed Guest 0:07

You got a little bit going. You know what?

Bert Kreischer 0:08

It's a lost cause. It's a vibe. Hey! Passion begets passion. I learned that a very long time ago. We talked about this with NASCAR very early. That's right. I trashed NASCAR to my buddy Elliot, right? My buddy Elliot, Elliot in the morning, biggest radio show in the Metro DC, Maryland area. I mean, just huge. And I was just making jokes, you know? Oh, all you gotta do is take a left or whatever. And he's like, he's like, yeah, maybe if like, a lot of people like it. So maybe you should like give it a chance. And I was like, what do you mean? And he's like, he's like, I mean, if that many people like it, maybe you're wrong and they're right. And I went, impossible. And he told me, he said, watch the last 10 minutes. Got to try something. Start somewhere. Yeah.

Bert Kreischer 0:58

So he said, I would love a cocktail. Would you like a cocktail?

Host 1:01

I will not say no to a cocktail.

Bert Kreischer 1:02

I will never say no.

Host 1:04

I am game for some cocktails. It's like dinner time on the East Coast. We may or may not have brought a couple Rebels or something, maybe.

Bert Kreischer 1:10

Red Bulls. Rebels. What's a Rebel? Rebel bourbon, baby. I got your bourbon right here. Yeah. I got your bourbon right here that you signed. Yeah, I love this. So he says, just watch the last 10 minutes. Is that the best way to introduce a newbie to NASCAR? Yeah, because you want to keep going over the... Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Host 1:27

Last 10 minutes of... Of a race. Of a race. Yeah, but like Daytona or Talladega is a way to really make someone a fan. Right, but the last 10 laps, last 10 minutes of a race, that's definitely where all the action starts to pick up, and people are probably more so running over each other, and we're creating chaos.

Bert Kreischer 1:42

That's entertainment. So I sat at a bar. I told him this story. You know the races it is. I don't remember what it is, but any NASCAR fan right now is going to go, shut the fuck up. I sat at a bar in D.C. on the phone with Elliot, and I said, okay, I'm game. What are we watching? And he goes, this is a good one. He's like, you are going to be happy. This is the perfect one. And I watched you in 2007. That's right. Where? Bristol? Bristol. At Bristol. And it is like, I mean, it's like Hall of Fame endings of a NASCAR race.

Host 2:12

It was a... Again, same thing. There was like three yellows in the last 20 laps of the race. And we go green. We have restarts and all that. Guys are crashing each other, running over each other. And lo and behold, I actually didn't get wrecked in that one. So I came out on top. So, yeah, we won that one. That was the first CO2 race. I hadn't met you yet. She hadn't met me yet. NASCAR didn't start for me yet. Wait. We had a bond before Samantha and I had a bond.

Bert Kreischer 2:35

I've known him longer than you?

Host 2:37

NASCAR did not exist to me until 08.

Bert Kreischer 2:40

Wait. So, wait. You just met him and you were like, what do you do for a living?

Host 2:43

No, it was so much worse than that. I was a promo girl in college.

Bert Kreischer 2:48

Promo girl? Hold on. Like you'd walk around with the shots and the... Yeah, I mean, whether it was shots or I'd go to sporting events, whatever.

Host 2:57

So at that time, I was working for Chevy, and my job was to get people hyped up to go for ride-alongs, but not in a race car. This is what I always tell people. It was in a Chevy Impala.

Bert Kreischer 3:06

It was the street car.

Host 3:07

Anybody can drive a street car.

Bert Kreischer 3:08

It was a pace car. Pace car rides. Wait, will that thing drive fast, that Impala you have out there? No, let's not.

Host 3:15

Is that what we have out there?

Bert Kreischer 3:16

Yeah.

Host 3:16

That was the first time we met. Yeah, so anyways, I was hyping people up. I went for a ride with him. We had the same t-shirts on. I assumed he was a promo boy. So I invited him out with my girlfriends and I. We were just chatting. Just chit-chatting. I said, you want to come out? We're all going to the bars that night. We're going to have so much fun. He's like, I have to work. I'm like, okay. Okay, all right, way to, like I thought we were vibing.
