What makes the Big Suey different from other podcasts?
Welcome to the Big Suey, presented by DraftKings. Why are you listening to this show? The podcast that seems very similar to the other Dan Levitard podcast. I'm sorry, I'm not going to apologize for that. In fact, the only difference seems to be this imaging.
I have been tempted in restaurants just walking past tables to grab somebody's fries if they're just there.
That hasn't happened to you guys? I've done it. And now, here's the marching man to nowhere, fat face, and the habitual liar.
I was laughing on the way home yesterday because it is a particular kind of funny to speak to somebody who's not nicknamed Iceman and call them Iceman. Like of all of the nicknames, calling someone Iceman who doesn't go by Iceman is funnier than just getting a nickname wrong.
Like Frank Asoa.
Yeah, I mean, just it was ridiculous what I did yesterday.
It actually restored my faith in humanity a little bit because I put that 100% on AI. That's what AI said Christopher Bell's nickname was.
That is not just AI. It was also Wikipedia. So we're joined now by Maverick. Ryan Blaney is with us. And I'm very pleased to have one of the most popular drivers around with us as Homestead. Miami Speedway is hosting the NASCAR Cup Series this weekend, Sunday, March 23rd. That is FS1, 3 p.m. And I wonder about this because, Zaz, I don't know how your ears are doing in radio.
How does Ryan Blaney handle the noise and hearing challenges in racing?
I know that I all of a sudden.
My wife says bad.
Yeah. All of a sudden, I'm asking my wife all the time to repeat things, and I've got to imagine just given how loud. He's only 31 years old. Thank you for joining us, Ryan. But I got to imagine that one of the many drawbacks that happen from doing a dangerous thing like this for a living, this has to affect your hearing, how loud all of this is, correct?
That's why he's Maverick. That's why they call you Maverick.
Very good.
Comedy.
Iceman. Good job. Man, you're 0 for 2. I'm actually Iceman, but it's fine. No, thanks for having me, fellas. I appreciate it. But yeah, I mean, it's loud, man. I mean, I've been doing this since I was nine years old. I grew up watching my dad race, so I've been around the track forever. And it does. I mean, we do the best we can of like wearing in ears in the car, stuff like that to try to just muffle some of it. But it does digress a little bit. You see a lot of drivers that have retired, they are on hearing aids now, but it's just one of the drawbacks.
Did you have a choice in terms of what you were going to be other than a driver? Because anytime I'm around you guys, everyone starts at eight years old and everyone inherits it from their family.
Did Ryan Blaney always want to be a race car driver?
Yeah, it's always what I wanted to do just because I grew up around it and it was what I was most comfortable with, just watching my dad do it. I played other sports as a kid. You know, I, I love playing basketball. I love baseball. Um, but then I kind of had to come to a realization, like I'm probably not going to make it. I'm, I have my father's jeans. I'm probably going to be five, nine and like 140 pounds. And, Racing is probably the best route for me. But my dad never forced me to do it. He was always, are you sure you want to do this? Are you sure you want to go to the next step? So it was something that I just wanted to do what my dad did. I got lucky that I was able to get the opportunities and make a living off of doing this.
Do you have other places where you're an adrenaline junkie?
I'll be honest with you, like, not really. I don't really have to search for adrenaline too often. People ask all the time, like, oh, it's just is it just an adrenaline boost racing cars? And like, not really. Like, you're not white knuckling out there all the time. I think it's just what you're used to. But I try to find things that are more like relaxing to me, like going, you know, skiing and you know, I play a lot of golf. Those are relaxing things to me where I can just kind of decompress and just like be out there and not really have to worry about too much. So I don't really search for adrenaline too often.
