And we're way outside the f*** lines. Things of bad artists. Grover's, morning, glory. Shizu is coming up in just a moment. What do you have on the way, do you? I'm just now seeing some news about my favorite band, Cheap Trick. And one of the members of the band, something's going on with them. I'll tell you the story coming up next. All right, we'll get to that in just a moment.

Yeah, not that long ago, we had one of the members of Cheap Trick here in studio. I think Rick Nelson, they're a guitarist. And I asked him what you guys think about. There was a song he did way back in 19, he says called Mighty Wings. And that was a song he did for the top gut sounds. And he said that he said Rick told me that was a song. He literally hated the most. I was for some reason, I don't know why he said that. Why he hated that song? He hated it the most. Yeah, he just did not like that song for some reason. He just didn't really say why. All right, we'll get to that in just a moment. Here's someone says you buy a fake hornet's nest off of Amazon. I did see that trick. Now, I, but I think that only works. I think do she's the thing is actual. I think those are hornets, not bees. So I don't think getting a hornet's nest, I don't know, maybe it does. But I have carpenter bees and at my house, they love burrowing into stuff. And I've gotten rid of them a few times and then they end up coming back like a year later.

And somebody said you're supposed to put like hang these fake wasp nests, like by your, you know, wherever you're having this issue and it scares these carpenter bees away. Now, maybe that works. I don't know, but I've tried it yet. I also, I'm going to look at a crazy person hanging weird stuff off my house, you know? I'm sending a picture to Snitzer now, one of the guys on a different food truck. Can you sure? I'm sending a picture to Snitzer now. One of the guys created this water bottle trick and you'll see what he did it for us to put next to the applesauce. And then I sent a video to Charlie of the bees, not wasps that were. So that's the look at the, he did something with the water bottle where he cut it in half. Mm-hmm. And then what's in there? I think it's a liquid to go in, it's a little spout. And you can't get back up, I guess. Yeah, that's glaze. Don't that glaze. Oh, that's what they're after is the sweets.

Oh, they go, oh, so they go in there. So what he's done is cut the bottle in half. He's put it inside out kind of and then they go down for whatever reason they can't get back up. Yeah. Okay. And then here's the video. All right, let's see here. Over here, so I sense okay, there we go. Oh, man, she's sure for these things that up. Yeah. Oh my god. Whoa, those bees are wasps. Bees, I don't know, those kind of look like yellow jackets. Yeah, those are wasps. There are bees. No, those are definitely wasps. That's not a bee. They're not wasps. You said, why do you say that? Because I had a million people come by telling me what they were. What are they? If it was a wasps, it would have been way more dangerous. Those are wasps. Bees. What do you think those are, Charlie? I think they're bees, but I don't really know. People just call them bees, but I think they're bees. Because wasps are a little larger than that. Yeah, and wasps have that don't they have that dangle? Stinger. All right, all right. We do think it are the black looking wasps that has that kind of shape body.

Yeah, I don't know. Well, I don't know, but whatever the hell that is, I don't want to get stung by one of those. But they would eat that whole that whole cup. And then the sun would that's what they would focus on. Then you're on rovers morning glory. Good morning, Ben. Yeah, hi. You talking about the yellow jackets and the stuff. Well, you say the description, you just said a hornet has like a pinched waist through it. You know, like a segment that separates the rear end part. And they're very much longer in appearance. But yellow jackets have like the back and yellow striping on it, you know, banding. Anyway, and they are attracted to sweets, but they're also attracted to earth. Like if you're digging a fresh hole with dirt, they'll show up. I really don't know why, but they do. I worked in the cemetery. And if I was digging like say a cremation or something,

the thruster would definitely attract them. And I would actually I figured out that I could put my hands, you know, separate my hands and smack them like clap them. And that would like stun them. And then I'd squish them with my foot. Yeah, they'd drop and then they'd come. When you do that, well, no, no, they deserve it, you know, well, that's just what they do. They didn't deserve it. But I didn't want to get stung and I never got stung by one by doing it. And the other thing is what was I going to say? I think you'll have them. After you kill it, after you have. So I kill them. And then yeah, right. They put out a marker like a free moment, some sort. And that then is like I'll stuns out a signal. And then these other ones will show up one by one, one, you can know kind of searching out what is going on and what killed this one. She had to do it.

And I killed one and then we got to run away. Yeah. Yeah. No, no, I didn't. I just killed them. Just kind of killing them. Just kill them. Kill, kill, kill. Cemetery worker as a body count of these things. You ever seen anything weird working in that cemetery? Well, I hated my boss. This is jerk. So I hate mine. Yeah, we're even. Yeah, I think I think it's universal. But so he was away for a while. And so the sky showed up and he was from the DEA. And he was from May County. And he said that some guy may have buried weapons and drugs on his mom at that. And so he has to look around and stuff. So I said, sure. Because I knew he was going to do. And he started digging holes all over the place. Really? So where the boss came back, yeah, because he was, you know,

and he had the metal detectors. So, yeah, you know, but so he started digging holes all over the place. By the time the boss got back, there was like, bitches everywhere all over the cemetery. Yes, what the hell's going on here? I go, well, this DEA guy showed up in explain to him what he said. I go and I, you know, I didn't want to get in trouble for, you know, so basically I kind of messed over the boss by doing that. Well, that's not weird. But that I also worked in a mass of Liam. And my boss told me when I started, was that I don't get scared from anything. He says whatever is dead stays dead. But I would get creeps once in a while. All right. I'm like a chill. Yeah. So a girl is going great. Yeah, you don't have people talking to you all day. Ben, all right. Thank you. I appreciate it. Those are yellow jackets, by the way. Well, it's very interesting because I have people here who claim to be beekeepers.

Lehigh Jeffrey, I'm a beekeeper. Dogey is feeding bees. Those are not wasps and Mark from Texas says, those are honeybees. You idiot. So I'm a beekeeper. They drink sugar water 50, 50 mix. Those are wasps. They're not wasps. They are wasps. They're bees. The yellow jackets, which is a wasp. It's a bee. Well, is it are they yellow jacket or a paper wasp? This is the yellow jacket being positive about that. You've put that through way. I hear something. Yeah. And it can, can I see that video again? Where's that video? I zoomed in on a picture. I zoomed in on a picture of one of them. There he goes. We can really look at it. Yellow jackets are black and yellow and not fuzzy. Where a bee is fuzzy. These were fuzzy. No, they're not fuzzy. The bees have like fuzzy little legs and a fuzzy face. These were fuzzy. Yeah, it's fuzzy. I think that's a, that looks like a lot like a paper wasp, Charlie. Like look at this. Hundreds of people that I saw over six days at a festival. Hundreds of people. Yes, do you not have to

put people that they were bees? Now one person said they're wasp, not one. I know because people are down. No, there's a paper wasp versus a yellow jacket. What do you think of that? I don't get it. Those might be paper wasps, whatever that is. They look very, very similar. Yeah, they're, it's a wasp. It's a bee. It's not about it. Do you see are you ready for the Shizu? Yep. Here we go. Here to Shizu. I'll roll over some more in glory. 40 year old woman in Jefferson County in Pennsylvania has died from complications linked to measles. So this marks the county's first measles related death during Pennsylvania's growing outbreak. State officials reported 676 cases across 37 counties as of September 11, along with 124 hospitalizations. Pennsylvania has already reported two infant deaths connected to measles back in August, and health officials say measles can cause serious illness at any age, including pneumonia and brain swelling.

This made me think of today's getting your shots. The flu shot, this count drug mart is coming today. You got to get your flu shot. Are you going to do it? Sure, yeah. I don't know if I'm allowed to. Why not? An old wives tale. Why are you not allowed to? If I have coming off whatever this congestion is. Wait, you're just tired. I'm exhausted. Yeah. You can get a little again skinning a flu shot if it was tired. I'll ask the doctor for pharmacists that's coming. I'll talk to him, my friend. About 5 million Americans have lost access to snap food benefits since a Republican-backed federal budget law took effect, including more than one and a half million children that's according to the center on budget and policy priorities. Now more changes will be coming starting October 1st when states will be required to pay 75% of the administrative costs of running the program. The law also expanded work requirements.

An able-bodied adults without dependent must now meet those rules through age 64 instead of 54. States could face even larger costs beginning as early as 2027. So we'll see how this, a lot of people are really upset about that. Amazon has temporarily stopped using cargo airline 21 air after one of its Amazon branded Boeing 767's crashed in Miami. Oh, Catherine Steve was going bonkers over the cockpit voice recorder. Well, that's part of this. The plane overran the runway during landing. It struck vehicles and traveled about 1,300 feet beyond the pavement. Now investigators say cockpit recordings show the pilots were concerned about their speed and briefly considered going around before continuing the landing. Well, they didn't consider going around after they were already on the ground. And they're rolling and then they push the throttles up to 100% for four seconds while they're on the runway. And then they then they

pull them back to zero and they go off the runway. But Catherine Steve. What did he say about this? This is the most egregious example of pilot error he's ever seen in his entire career, that these guys 11 points during the flight, they were supposed to have a mandatory go-around, go-around, go-round, whatever. And he 11 different times. They were not properly configured at a thousand feet. You got to be configured at a thousand feet. You got to have everything ready to go. They were at 50 feet and still weren't properly configured. So he's going crazy, captain Steve. Well, the National Transportation Safety Board, they are investigating the crew's actions. So, might be in a little bit of trouble. I don't know. Judge Judy's in the news. Why would it, can they? What I saw, now I don't know, I don't know anything about this. But if your actions are so egregious that you end up in what happened, it says cargo plane goes off the end of the runway, across the street,

smashes a minivan full of people, kills them. And then severely injures other people and then comes to rest in a parking lot or feel the across from the airport. If your actions are so egregious, can they be criminally charged? I don't see why not. I mean, if it's that, look, people make mistakes in accidents and I think everyone understands that you go, man, that was a screw. Or, or, or, or, look, mistakes happen. We all recognize that. But if something goes beyond being a common, you know, a mistake to the point of Jesus Christ you're an idiot, you have to, I think they, could you be charged for being an idiot? I don't know. But something's got to, I think they need to have some sort of criminal charges against these. All I know is that regardless of the size and type of aircraft, there's a checklist that you go through to configure the aircraft for landing, that all pilots have to follow,

you know, to make sure that, you know, everything is in, is, you know, is in order, you know, to land. I mean, yeah, I mean, it's an all that's like, you're flying off 18 horn for example, there's a checklist you go through, you know, before you land, you're whether it be on a ship or on a runway. And that's like, with any aircraft type. Bruno 216 says, big whoop, illegals lost welfare. Of course, do she didn't mention that they banned illegals, not Americans. It's actually not true, but they have, I'm just a quick Google search says that they have expanded work requirements. They do have immigration restrictions. They do have stricter waivers. So it's affecting not just, you just take five million illegals off the rules. This is affecting just new rules that they have. I don't know, maybe I'm not saying the bad, I'm not saying the rules are bad. I don't know, I don't know anything about it, but you gotta get, gotta get the, get straight. Do your research, as I say, go on, douche. Judge Judy is retiring after more than 30 years on television.

Oh man, I didn't even know she was still doing that. The longtime TV personality whose real name is Judy Shindlin says her series, Judy Justice will air its final episode in October. The 83 year old told people that she has plenty of other interests and no longer wants to spend time in hair and makeup. It still wants her message to reach viewers. She said, I don't have to prove anything else. So she'll remain involved as a producer of her son Adam Levies, new courtroom series, Adam's law. He's an attorney who has also appeared on television before. So he's gonna kind of take over. And then congratulations to Lady Gaga, her and her fiance have welcomed their first child. We don't have any details, but she is officially a mom and the baby's name, gender and date of birth haven't been shared yet. Did I miss your story about what's your band, cheap trick? Did I come to you? I'm not done with the news. Oh, I thought you were done. It sounded like you said, and oh, okay. No, it's a congratulations to Lady Gaga. So,

source says that Gaga and her fiance both beam when they talk about being parents and they've been engaged since March of 2024. She's 40 and he'll be 43 a week from Saturday. Congratulations to them. And then the news about cheap trick is the guitarist Rick Nielsen apparently had a rough night during their show. This was on Thursday night in Aurora, Illinois. He started having trouble breathing during the fifth song of the set. Big eyes. And then he left the stage. And then after their next song, ate that a shame. They took a 10 minute break and Nielsen returned halfway through, but he had to play sitting down. And then he left the stage again after surrender. So as a result, the band had to cancel their show on Friday night. This video not from that show. No, no, no, no, no, no, a thousand years, a thousand years ago. Yeah, this is a way old. And then so their tour is scheduled to resume tomorrow night in Huntington, New York.

Rick Nielsen is 77 years old. So hopefully he's okay. All right. There you go. That's Toshizia on Rover's Point in Glory. This is live at Budacan. I don't even know what Budacan is. Yes, that's their famous one. What's Budacan? Japan, isn't it? Don't know. Is that a city? I think it's a arena. Noreena. I don't know. I've ever just sung before. You have? Yeah. I hear this song on the radio. I like it on our classic station. The other cute tricks song. I like the flame. And one of my other favorites is their remade of Elvis Presley's Don't Be Crew. I thought it was really cool. Cody the Beekeeper. You're on Rovers, Morning Glory. Good morning, Cody the Beekeeper. Good morning, everyone. Dugey. Hey guys, I just want to clear up something. Dugey, I promise you, those are yellow jackets. So this time of year, basically the larva for the yellow jackets, they stop secreting

as sugary substance. So they're looking to build up for winter. So then they start going after like sweets and donut trucks. Well, they're not honey bees. Yes. All right, Cody. No, Cody, you keep bees yourself. I do. I was on the show. Remember I came in. But you're the one that almost killed Deeter. Oh, no. Deeter almost killed Deeter was not me. You must have been sweat and warranty. Yeah. Oh my god. I tried to call back into you guys for hours to clear that. But yeah. Deeter, that was scary. Well, is he brought in like a bunch of bee pollen or something? I thought you in some, I brought you in a little vial of bee pollen to try and he tried, he snorted it. He snorted it. And then he had, I guess almost, you don't even have to be allergic to bees or maybe they've slight allergy. You know, it just just so much of it, you're not supposed to snort it. And then he had to go to the hospital because he couldn't breathe. Then they're like,

they're like, I can't breathe. My throat is closing. I can't even talk. They're like, how stupid are you? All right, Cody. Well, thank you for I appreciate it. Absolutely. All right. Bye bye. Oh, sorry. I'm happy they're yellow jackets. I don't want do you to be a killer of honey bees because we need them. Well, yeah, they weren't as prevalent. People were worried about honey bees dying off because we need them for pollination. Everyone, if this flying around and it can sting you, people just call it a bee basically. Let's just mosquito. But you know what I mean. You know, maybe we get little drones that can pollinate the flowers instead of bees. And then the little drones wouldn't sting you. I'm not a big fan of bees. I just get to be honest with you. Anything that can sting me, I don't I don't want to be around it. Boy, do we have a lot to talk about this morning? Check our draft, kinks. Oh, not too happy. I am. I'm not too happy.

I think it one of my two picks correct. What an embarrassment yesterday. Absolute embarrassment. If you saw it, you know what I'm talking about. Let me take a quick break. We'll be right back on Rovers, Morning Glory. Hang on. Oh, yesterday I, yesterday I hit the track. It was out. So weird. Speed demon rover yesterday. I like all the things I do. I really, you know, a big mouth gets me. It's pre into stuff. We were, I was hit. It's, I don't know,

what was it like a month or two ago? I went to a baseball game, be two and I went to a baseball game. The one where B2 was almost killed by the fall ball. And the people who took us to the baseball game. I'm sitting there and I was talking to the guy. I had never met this guy before. And, you know, just, just, just talking about various, you know, guy stuff, manly man stuff. You know, I am when I get around the boys, you know, pretty masculine. And so he goes, hey, do you, even the cars? And I said, oh, I can't get enough of cars. I don't know anything about cars. You're a gear. Literally nothing about cars. I could tell you, I mean, every time somebody has ever opened the hood of a car in my entire life, I've just been like, yeah, yeah, just pretending like I know what they're showing me. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You know, like I can be clearly, remember, this dude comes over and he pops the hood and he's like, check this out and he's whatever car

that he had. And I'm like, yeah, I mean, you could, I had no idea what I was looking at. Zero. I don't know anything about cars. And anyway, so he goes, are you into cars? And I said, hey, I know. I'm really having a, I don't know, man. It's sorry. He goes to the idea. Have you ever raised a car before? I said, no. He goes, oh, you should give that a shot. I said, yeah, I'll do that. He goes, well, I'll take you sometime. I go, okay, let's go. Yeah. And then, and then like a month later, it's set up. And I think, I think my wife is like, hey, are you going to do that? I go, yeah, okay. See, I don't know anything about anything. And when I go, okay, I think it's going to be like a, a quick thing, like a leisurely, you know, like, yeah, I'll drive around the track once. And so yeah, yeah. All right. I don't do any research

into this at all, zero, zilch. And anyway, so we went to this, to this middle high old racetrack thing yesterday. And it's, I don't know, from my house, it's about an hour from my house had to be there at 715 sharp last night. 715 AM. There she is. You are not a morning. No, I am not the worst job for me ever because I until on the weekends, I usually sleep until 12 noon. I have timers set in the bedroom that I have shades that can go up and down like a electric and they're set that on Saturday and Sunday, they open at 12 noon. And that's what wakes me up on the weekend. So I do get, of course, my wife, we're going to be late. We make it there. We get there on time. And, and then I quickly realized I go, oh, man, this is no joke. This is not,

this is a little more involved. Not like go carts. This is a little bit more ice when the guy was pulling in and like this giant RV thing. And then, and then he has not only that, but he has another guy that works for him that has a truck with a trailer on it with these cars in there. How many cars did he have? I think he only had brought one actually. But the truck, it's a worker doing his a yes. And then, and then the, they have like this tow truck thing that they're that they're telling the trailer with. And it has gas in there. So they're gassing up their own car. I mean, that's a, this is an operation. I never, I mean, I, I, I don't know what I expected, but I didn't expect this. This kind of operation. And I, I realized, oh, man, all these people are really into this stuff. I am way out of my element here. Now, they do have at this event yesterday, they have beginners and stuff. And of course,

I've never done this before. So I'm, I'm, I'm lumped in with the beginners and they, they, you know, so you have it, give a driver meeting at 730 in the morning and, and then you have to go. Talk about what? What are they? I don't know because I missed it, honestly. Yeah, I was like hanging out and then, and then I get a text message. He's like, are you at the driver meeting? I'm like, oh, oh, yeah, yeah, I'm there. Yeah. So then I run over there real fast. And then they're showing, where did you show up late? No, I was there. I was on, I showed up late to the driver meeting. I didn't know I, I, I, he said that he had text to me the schedule of the events yesterday, but the text messages weren't going through. So I never got the text message. Anyway, so I go to this driver meeting and there's a lot of people at this thing. I don't know, a couple hundred two, three hundred, I don't know a lot of people. And, then, and they start showing you these flags and I go, you guys know what all the, we're going to go through all the flags. I go, I know what checkered flag. That's about it. Green

and checkered. Those are the two flags. And maybe what yellow is at a caution. I said, yeah, what's caution white means you're on the last lap of the race. Well, they, who knew they have 20 different flags with all sorts of different weird designs. How you would even be able to tell what the hell those flags mean? I have no clue. No, zero idea. Anyway, so they go through all that. Then they have like this, this classroom thing that you're, I guess these people are going for the whole weekend. So I, it's kind of mandatory that you go into this thing, I guess. I kind of hung out in the back because I was only there for one day. And I think this is really a three day thing. And it's like all these people are tired. They're like, oh, given their track experience from from the day before and all this kind of stuff. And I just go, oh, man, this is going to be. So then I start asking questions. And my wife was yelling at me for the past week or two since I, since I said I would do this. And she goes, why aren't you asking any questions? I go, no, I think it'd be fine. It would be all right. I don't like planning. I just

like showing up and doing things, you know, and then I realize after all this, I go, I better start asking some questions real fast because this is, this is, this is no joke. So then, so then we get, we get suited up. I got, you know, this guy's got this car. I think I sent Snitzler a picture of one of these cars that he has. This is the car that I was driving. Oh, this is legit. That's sharp. Yeah, this is this is it. And I mean, this is, so this one doesn't drive in the road at all. No, no, okay. It's got like that whole harness thing. And you know, for it's see, and it's got rolled cage thing in the bag. I mean, I, yeah, this thing is, it's not on the street. It's got slicks on it right there. They don't have the tire warmers on yet. I mean, that's a whole thing. I don't know much about racing. I don't know anything about racing as a matter of fact. So race cars never go on the road. They just go on the these ones. And I didn't even know that. And should the show I,

should it show the car for you asked. I did not ask. I think I believe from what I gathered from just people talk. I mean, you buy it and I think it's about 200,000 or something. And then I believe then you do some more stuff. You add some stuff. It's probably the harness all the stuff that I think that cage thing, the roll bar thing. I believe it's probably if I were to guess 250, 275 in that neighborhood, I'm talking, I don't know, total. I don't know. And so then and everybody's like so calm. And you know, I was asking all these questions because I'm starting to sweat now at this point. I go, this is not. And then you hear the group before me go and I go, oh man, we're in the parking lot set up by this dude's RV. And isn't what it sounds like behind me. I go, oh, no, this is this is a, yeah, this is this is no joke.

So everybody's real calm and like everyone's, you know, maybe because I'm so my accent is a flat affect that they think that I'm calm, but inside I go, what is going on here? But nobody seems to worked up and then they go, okay, it's time to go. And then we go over to the car. I got to put this thing on this Hans device thing that goes around your neck. That's what say, I would have saved Dale Earnhardt if you would have had that. That's one they started doing this Hans device. I don't even know what it does. It keeps your neck or your head or something together with your, I don't know, I don't know what it does. But then they put this helmet on. I can't even get this guy down to helmet on. And the guy goes, it's just like a motorcycle helmet. I've never read in the motorcycle in my entire life. He gave me a dirty look. He goes, man, this guy, I just see, I didn't have, I just tell him be to on the way home. I had no father in the picture. And these are the excuses for you. No, I'm just touching. I'm explaining to her why I've never been into any of this stuff, because I had no father around when I was a kid. I was raised by a single mother and my grandmother

and it was all women. It's a miracle. I'm not a fashion designer right now, because that's the environment I was brought up in. And, uh, yeah, you're a botler. Did the helmet not fit because your head's too big? First of all, it's really tight. And then the whole strap system, I couldn't figure out. And then you've got to tighten this Hans device, snaps into that day. I don't know. So then I get into the car, I get all, you know, they bring the car down off these jacks, and then they plug into, it's very loud. And when you're going in the car and stuff, and you have these helmets, how do you hear anything when you have those helmets on? So they they have like this little system that you plug in your helmet too. So that you got, that you can talk to each other. So the guy, he gets into the passenger seat. I guess he's a off yet to be certified or something, I guess, instructor. So he's talking to me. And apparently,

we're a little bit, I guess the way that they do this is before your session starts, they have different groups. And I was in D group. That's like the, the, the losers of the, of the group, you know, people that have never done this before. Yeah. And, um, so when you, when you're groupage, let's say it's a 8 a.m. Or whatever time you're supposed to be out there, well, everybody lines up, right? You know, and then, and then everybody kind of goes all at, all at once, out of the line. Well, I don't know what happened. We were a little bit late getting over there. So we were not in this line. So the cars are already going around the track. And so I'm sitting here and then you know, man, the pit area. And then he's like, okay, you can go and I go, and there's cars with just right around. And you're out there. You go, go, and now you're, you're merging into traffic like, but you don't know how dry I have no clue. Could you put your blinkers on and do like a slow hazard hazards and just like slow go at it. I'm coming. Yeah,

like they need, they need, I need like a student driver or something on the other car. But then we go out and so I did four sessions as a matter of fact. Yes. And you're driving in the guys in the front with you. Yeah. And I did four sessions. I think each session lasts about 20 or 25 minutes. And the first session I get done. And my wife goes, oh, those people were all passing you. I go, of course, they were. I have no idea what I'm doing out there. Are you getting me? She goes, oh, that must have made you feel bad. I go really, honestly, it didn't it didn't make me feel bad at all because I'm just trying to survive out there. I'm just trying to not take this car off the road. So instead of getting her all horned up, seeing her man race this cool car. Yeah. She's over here just dry. She's drying up. I got bomb. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. So I get back and I start asking more

questions and more questions. And when you're in this car, it's weird. Like, I don't even know how to explain it. First of all, I get done with that first session. She goes, B2, I get back and B2 goes, how fast were you going? I said, I have no idea. No clue. All you're looking at is the road and to make sure you don't die. She goes, you know, look at the, at the, at the spedometer once I said, not one time that I look at anything. I had, I didn't take my eyes off that road. No clue how fast I was going. Did you have hands at 10 and 2? Of course. You have to because, yeah, there's no one hand in this. This is not a leisurely drive at all. I would show you the video from inside the car. I guess this is video from inside the car, but they didn't bring the laptop and he said, I have to download it. I'll send it. I'll send it to you or something. So I show it to you to show you what this looks like, but I don't even know if it does adjust it. So I mean, it's insane.

What did B2 do while you were driving? Well, she went to various parts of the track and she kind of watched a little bit, but you know, you're, it's a, I think the track is about a little over two miles long. So it was taking you. I might take you a little less than two minutes to go around the track. So you're only going by once every couple minutes and I'm just saying, there's that much for them to see really. Oh, there you go. There you went. And anyway. So then the second run I got a little bit a little more comfortable. And then the third by the third one, I was, I was, I was pretty, I was pretty good. I think I was, I think I was doing nobody passed me. By the time we got to the third one, we passed everybody. We went from getting passed by everyone to passing everybody. Now one person passed me on that Thursday. I'll pass me going on the fourth session. One person passed me, but then I passed them back. Oh, how fast was I going? I have no idea. What do you mean? I couldn't look at this. But I'll do it because I, I, I, I, I,

you couldn't take your eyes to go. And look, you have no idea how fast you're going. Lucy, you have no, you have no concept. I don't think anyone would unless you've done this before. I'm sure people listening who do this every weekend or all the time, they're like, oh, my God, roll over your soul over dramatic. But go back to the time you first did this. And maybe a lot of people, they, I think kids who like, if you're into this and you drive a little go cars and then you just go up and the regular cars and stuff like that, it probably all comes naturally, not to me. And, um, it's a, it's a PSA club racing. Yeah. I, I, I, here's a 10 year old video of somebody doing it. So it looks like, yes. There's no way you were going a hundred miles an hour. This is, oh, I, I, I asked, I go, what do you think my top speed was? I go, I'm probably like 140. No. What? It feels, it feels, if I was going 135 140, it feels like you're going 300 miles an hour on this, this back straight away right here. This is where you can really get speed up right here. Check

this out. How do you know when the curves, like when it's kind of fast, this guy gets up to here. It's almost to 120. You, you haven't floored this entire time right here. Oh, wow. Oh, I was changing gears. It's automatic. Oh, it was automatic. Yeah. Okay. I guess you can mess around with those paddle shifters if you want, but the car's going to do it way better, way better than you. This is exactly the track that we were on yesterday. It's just steering the same or is it like tighter? Oh, it's, it's much tighter. The car, it was pretty incredible. I felt very comfortable driving the car, but I mean, I felt there were a couple of times where you're like, oh, man, you could, I could have lost it right there, but not too frequently. The car does exactly what you wanted to do. It's really, it was really very responsive. And then this is where you're coming around and this is about where now you're coming up to

this part right here where this, so he's now officially done one lap right there. Are you? Oh, this guy's like, oh, you got to, you got to buy GT3. I go, I don't even know what a GT3 is. Anyway, so, are you going to do it again? So I shaved, I think, what I shaved, I think my lap time, let's just show you what this guy's lap time was on there on that video. Let's see. I think, I think my lap time on the first one, I think the first one out, I think I was like it two minutes or one 58. And then I think I got down to like 150 and I go, well, what's a good lap? And I think he said about one 30 or something, one 31. Yeah, this is one come to the end. One. Yeah, that's exactly that's what he said. He goes one 31 is a pretty good time. I think I was at

one 51. So I was 20 seconds slower than that, but I thought it was I had a good time. Look, that seems to, that's a, so the answer to your question, I don't think I'm going to become a racer because you got to have some serious cash to be thrown into that stuff. All right, that kind of cash. Now did it get you horned up because you're adrenaline's pumping? Did you feel like a man like where you excited in that way? No, I have, I'm telling you, I have, I'm the same all the time. I don't have ups and downs, peaks and valleys. I have no, I have a very flat affect, even in situations like that. I'm just very focused on what I'm doing there. Like I told you the story one time I went skydiving. I was crap in my pants and we land and the guy I went with he goes nuts. He's like, oh my god, that was awesome. That's great. And I just landed. I'm like, okay, done. We're done. I got it. Okay, landed. That's just the way I am.

What are you? Why are you giving me a dirty look like this? I don't think I've ever, I've seen you emotional a couple of times, like nothing. I just, yeah, just let loose have fun. Yeah, let it go. Just let it out. But you want to scream? I did that a couple of weeks ago. Why did you scream? Remember that hole when the women were throwing ice into the best hub or whatever they were doing and you just scream to let it all out. Yeah, why don't you do that right now? Hold it in like a girl holds in her sneeze. Why don't you just scream and let it out? Some emotion, you'll feel better. Somebody says, would you go to Mid-O'Hio to watch racing? If they're a client, yes. You bet your ass, I would. I can't wait to join Charlie at the Red Strat Kingos too. What do you get? Oh, yeah. So it was it was a really, it was a really good time. A very interesting experience. I like doing things I've never done

before and to see to actually, you know, when you watch stuff on TV and I'm not, obviously not at the same level of watching professional race car drivers obviously, but it gives you a new perspective on things when you do stuff like that. Will you do it again? Will you go back out there? No, seriously, would you? What the sky says you want to go back out? I got to get down to I got to get my lap time down to 131 there. Okay. It matches on the straightaways. You will hit 130 to 140. Man, it feels like you are going 250 miles per hour. It just you feel like it's going through the corners and stuff didn't really phase me too much, but that's straightaway. You realize and obviously you're going through the corner and you can go off the track and going high speed and it's, you know, it's, you don't want to crash. Yeah, how do you turn the corner going so fast? I would go off to the left because or in flip because you have to adjust to turn the corner. It's the car. It's very

late to the ground responsive and, but when you're on that straightaway, you realize if, if you, if there's a screw up at this and then it got it, I go, what if we have a blowout? Where's your going 140 miles an hour into tire blows? Yeah, you're screwed. What happened? Did you just, I meant you flip over? Yeah, I have no idea. Then come up and then I started thinking about it. I go, man, that will be because when you're going that fast, you are, you're in some serious trouble if something goes wrong. So it was a good time and maybe we'll have to, you don't have to get a team rover racing. I try it for sure. You're a driver. You guys want to be my drivers? Jeffrey, you want to drive? Yeah, to your crack. Yeah, I mean, as long as I don't crash, if I had a demolition, derby team, you'd be my first driver because you love to crash cars. Funny. This guy's been a more accident than anyone I've ever met in my entire life. Yeah, think about the number of accidents that Jeffrey has had. I guarantee you, he clips his all the rest of us combined. Oh, absolutely. Absolutely.

I think about that for a second. How many accidents have you, I've had one accident when I was a, like a 17 year old kid or something? Yeah, one wasn't my fault either. One major one where somebody was turning left into it and it was two lanes and the traffic was stopped. So the person left a window for me to come through and they waved me in and I didn't realize another car was coming. Another lane of traffic 16 or 17. I don't realize at that point, don't ever listen to that. Yeah, and got I think I turned into another car as it's driving somebody did that to me. And that's what happened to me. And then that was really growing up as a child. That was in a bad car accident. And I think I almost bit my tongue off. Oh, wow. I don't remember it. I was very young. Brother was like a baby. So I'm guessing it was one or two. But other than that, I mean, I bumped things. You know, that's pretty rare too. But you mean what things have you bumped?

The parking garage here is too tight in my truck. Oh, yeah. It's great to see you. Yeah. Do you see how many accidents you've been in? One really bad one when I lived with my boyfriend in Kansas City. Yeah. Somebody I was turning left and somebody ran light and smashed me ruined total the car. So one, you I think the one that you were in where you weren't driving, that doesn't count. Oh, yeah. Two, three snits or how many accidents have you been in? Driving. Maybe two. Once I hit a trash can. Uh-huh. That was my first accident. And once I was I got T-boneed, I was pulling up to a corner, a light. And so we had this coming out of the gas station and popped me when you say trash can. Oh, good. A dumpster. Oh, okay. That won't even count. But I won't count that. Okay. One, two, three, four, five. Crystal, how many have you been in? I've crashed two cars. Six, seven. And I bumped two people with no damage. Not people,

but cars and cars. Oh, okay. Really? Yeah. The one time my daughter was really young to maybe like four, three or four years old. And I mean, I barely touched the person in front of me, but we both pulled over. And when we pulled over, she had a toddler in the front seat. So she's like, no big deal. Just go on. Cause I probably go in like one or two miles now where I just didn't have my foot on the brake at the red light enough. And I did that on the highway because we were like dead stopped. You have moving forward, dead stop, move forward a little bit. And I bumped somebody. And the cops came and said, there's no damage on either one of your cars. That's how light a lot. Ape it was. But that those so I've kind of did seven accidents between everyone on the show. And Jeffrey has had seven accidents since we've known him. Yeah. You let alone his entire life. We know. Way more than seven. Way more than seven. I've got to take a break. How many accidents do you think you said in his entire life? 20? 20 to 30.

Oh, I've got to take a break. We'll be right back with the shoes of the news next. You know that payday feeling when your paycheck hits and you can finally breathe a little easier?
