Um, just the way you are. Wow. It's probably like, you're a big real man. I was fan way to go. I love Bruno Mars. I can't wait. Oh, yeah. You crushed it. Congratulations. Like, yeah, hold on. We will set you up. I got that allergy thing going. I'm pretty sure. I wouldn't have got one of those allergies. I mean, I keep reading that allergies and Phoenix are like an all-time high. And I think I have it. Or I've got to. I read another article that's something. You hit the West Coast. That is like a virus that's all the symptoms I have, I think. Is it just you? Is it Justin here, though? In this room? I started getting it last night. Okay. So normally I would tell you when it's all in here. I mean, don't get me wrong. It's amplified in this studio all the time. Yeah, I did take an allergy pill, which I never do. So hopefully they all. And then I thought you have to take allergy pills, like, for a long time before they kick in, but I don't know. But you know, I was insane to go over the weekend. Because my son camp, like, I don't like at some point, I'm like, when is basketball season going to be over for God's sake, but they keep winning. Well, that's awesome. I know. I know. So they just made the tournament. So the division to whatever march madness is that we're used to.
That's awesome. Yeah. So it's it's pretty cool. But so then I got back on Saturday and then yesterday. I wish I had freaking race car music. I keep thinking about. I posted on my stories the beginning to cars. Oh, yeah. And that show crow song. That's such a good song when you watch cars. It's such a great. But you never hear it anywhere else. You know, you hear life is the highway all over the place. But that's Cheryl crow's long is so good. So I was watching. I got invited to go to the NASCAR yesterday here in Phoenix, which the place has been here since 1964. And I've never been. And it was awesome. I was so blown away. I was not everything that I heard. Like, Oh, God traffic. It was piece of cake getting in there. It was a piece of cake. Leave it. And that to me is the biggest thing for me. Yeah, parking is always a big deal piece of cake in and out. Didn't get stuck in traffic at all. And then there's so much going on at this NASCAR event. It's like Disneyland for adults. Like, I got there at 915 930. But at 9 was a Joey Chestnut hot dog eating contest. Where was that? That was just happening. Yeah.
And then country singer Craig Morgan goes on and does a full on concert at 10. And then there's another concert at 11. And it's like all these huge artists. They're performing. He was just nuts, man. But then. Then you see, I got to go to the pit where you see all the cars and stuff. And I wasn't expecting that what I experienced there. I'm walking around. And you can see these. They're booths where the guys who own the cars are in there. And you can see all. I don't even know how to explain to you. But also, I mean, this one. Oh, because you know, Michael Jordan owns a car. Yeah. Big time right now. He owns a team. And he's one. They're winning. He's won three in a row, which has never been done before. So he's in the best mood possible. And Gail King was there of filming him. We're doing a story on him. And she had, I guess I didn't know that. And I'm walking through this. And I'm standing front of this booth. And I'm talking to this guy. And I look. And Michael Jordan is closer to me than where Kyle is. That's wild. Like where he's where this microphone is. Wow. And I'm just staring at him. And I just can't believe it. And then I'm recorded. I'm filming him.
I saw that. That looks pretty wild. Everything that you saw that I posted. I recorded three times as much as that. And then I felt like. Like I was trying to not be that that guy. Yeah. It's Michael Jordan. Yeah. I had to go up and say hi. Like you would have to go say hi. I had a picture of him when I met him in 1991. I love that picture. And I go. And I hold in this guy next to me. He's like, Michael, get a picture. Get a picture. And I hold up my picture to him and me. And I go, hey, we met when I was 20 in 1991 or something like that. He goes, he goes, be like that guy. Just get an old picture of us. Oh, so we can't get a good one. And then he came over. And you know, there's that guy. Easy sports guy. The guy that does all the restaurants. I've been on his. He'll be like, hey, what's your favorite restaurant? He was next to me. I was talking him for a long time. He's up big on social media. And he didn't even Michael Jordan was so low key. He didn't know that Michael Jordan was there. Oh, because he had pat on. He was kind of chilling. No, because there was Kurt Bush was there. Oh, yeah.
And the other guys that raced for Michael Jordan. So he was looking to Kurt Bush, who by the way, him and I Kurt Bush and I hit it off. So I'm having dinner with him. Oh, that's nice. You're having dinner with him. How does that happen? I have mutual friends. Turns out we have mutual friends and it was so bizarre. It's a genuine thing. And so Michael Jordan. So the food guy is like, Michael, what's your favorite restaurant? The Arizona. And he's where do you eat in Arizona? I didn't, but then later Michael answered his questions and he's going to post that later. But I was just staring at him. And it was awesome. But he's famous among famous people. Yeah, I couldn't even get past like, like I thought I normally I'm not like this. Like for anybody. If it was Justin Bieber, it was whoever was, but with him. And I think it's because when I was a kid, he was the biggest thing in the world. Right. I would be so star struck if I saw Michael Jordan. I would think I would like be like, I would have to go say hi, but I would be do mumbling. That what? But I was just scared. It's insane. Some celebrities like just surpassed being just themselves like Michael Jordan's even a brand. He's wearing his own shoes. He was wearing his own shoes.
You would help. Wouldn't you be upset if he wasn't wearing high heels? I analyzed everything he was wearing. So he was wearing Oakley sunglasses, which I was all excited about because I have a pair. But I don't know if I have his pair, but I want to get that pair. But he was just hanging out like that's so weird. Well, I guess his job is owning the team. It's not like he's got a, you know, going and fix the fuel of the car. He's an owner, right? Watching that, by the way, watching the Ask Car. And then going and then sat in our seats and then watching the race, it was exactly like the movie cars. They come around and then, oh, and then there's a the pace car guy, right? You know, there's a guy in like a blue Corvette and he sets the pace, right? And I'm watching that guy. And I'm like, that must, if you don't do that for a living, that must be nerve-wracking to be the the pace car before the race starts. So the race, you do the pace that you go around the track a couple times. And then it's like time to go and the pace car gets off the track. So I'm in my little area in the pace, I'm filming the pace car and the race starts. And about five minutes later, Luis Gonzalez from the DMX pops up and comes over where I'm sitting. He's like, hey, man, hey, he goes, dude, I was driving the pace car.
I'm like, what? He was in, he was like, he was driving. He's like, he won the World Series. And I think this was more stressful for him and more exciting for him than winning the World Series. Did you see that? I was in, I was driving the pace car. And he just described every single minute of being in the pace car. I mean, how fast is he going? Like 80? He's got to be. Yeah, it's got to be good. He said we're in the rehearsal. There was a girl that was showing him and she took it a hundred and fifty miles an hour. And then here's the coolest thing that I did yesterday at the NASCAR thing. It was the coolest thing that I did. I didn't know you can do this and everybody can do this. It wasn't just me. You get to go sign the track with a marker. Yeah, when we went there, we did that. It was so cool. That was so freaking cool to be. Because then as the race cars are driving and finishing and the race is over, they're driving over my name. I wrote on the track. That's fun. Everybody goes there with a marker. You write, you sign your name. I'm going to post that video later today because I thought that was so cool. It's like so interactive. It makes you feel like you're really a part of like what's going on. And it's here. When's the next race? I want to go. This is what I thought. I interviewed Natasha. She's the president and you would love her.
She's from here. She's the first or only black woman president in NASCAR. That's so good. And she's amazing. I mean, her energy. I thought she just, she is something else. If you see the X factor, there should be an X factor TV show of not talent just vibes. Because she has vibes like this woman is like, oh my God, this woman is something. And if this, if this is where she ends, it's fine. But whatever she's doing next, she's just, it's just a rocket. So she was unbelievable. I think I'm going to misspeak care about NASCAR. I think there's like only two races here. I think there's two a season. I don't know what they do the rest of the time with this big ass track. Well, they actually Phoenix race. We does a lot with like, like schools and doing like kids stuff. They're really involved in the community. So they do stuff there all the time. But I mean, as far as making money and having a business. Well, sometimes they do concerts. IBM shows out there. They knew your Zeeve Johnson was there. I was pretty good. I would tell her to bring the backstreet boys. I think that'd be fun. Then we don't have to go all the way to Vegas together.
Yeah. Well, anyway, it was, it was quite a experience. So thank you. So you're going to be a NASCAR guy now. Yeah. Talk about race and be like that number, that number 14. He good. You go one time and you're kind of like in. Yeah. Yeah. It's so when we left the racers still going on. And it was the loudest thing I've ever experienced. Oh, yeah. There's something about the first time you see cars come around where you're like. Whoa. I ate so much food. I've been trying to eat healthy. I ate so much food. And there's ways to eat healthy there. But I had all the brownies, all the ice cream. It wasn't amazing as well. It was fantastic. Food was fantastic. I had the best time yesterday. So thank you, Phoenix race, right? Thank you, NASCAR. Thank you, Kurt Bush. And thank you, Michael Jordan. Forgive me that moment. Oh, it's a fat Joe. We had to say about fat Joe. Oh, yeah. I saw that. I saw him walk by and say, hey, you know what? Do you remember we had him on the show one time? Yeah. I don't know if you're ever in person, but he called in one time because he hated 50 cent. And they were fighting. And I remember he said he would beat the hell out of 50 cent. So he comes walking out and I go, hey, Joe, I go. It's John Jay kiss FM Phoenix. And he freaking turns over. He's like, how do you do him? I can't remember it. Everything.
Really? Yeah, I did. You could see him talking to me. And I thought I was taking a picture with him, but Blake was filming. Yeah, I thought it was a video. Yeah. So it was stupid. Like, I mean, I was like, I was like, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was like, I know, but he was talking to me. And I wasn't responding because I didn't want to have that picture with my mouth like, you know, yeah. Yeah. If I go fat Joe, like, hey, Joe. And then chicken. Anyway, he was really cool. He was really cool. No one knows what the future holds, but you deserve a weather app that can help. Weather bug is easy to use and provides forecasts for your every need.

After the big game like most people, I kept thinking about the commercials. And there was one that stayed with me. It was from the Blue Square Alliance against hate and it wasn't loud or flashy.
It showed a Jewish kid being targeted at school and another student who chose not to ignore it. As someone who was Jewish, that moment felt very real to me. Not dramatic, just familiar. And what struck me was how clearly it showed that hate doesn't always announce itself. But the impact is still huge. If you saw the Blue Square spot during the big game, it's worth thinking about. And if you want to show support, sharing the Blue Square is one small way to do that. You know what I could really go for right now?
