We're always talking about life on this show, and this episode is no different. Sometimes School just isn't for everyone, and this week we discuss why you should be able to learn what you want vs. what they want.

This episode is action packed, and we dont hold anything back! From talking about why old cars just did it better, to our Iowa Race Announcement we cover a lot in this one so hang on!

This week in the world of racing was a sad one. The Nascar community has lost one of the great ones. We talk all things Kyle Busch in this episode, and how this will impact the sport for years to come.

If you know nothing about a sport or profession please don't waste everyones time and make comments on it based on zero facts or knowledge.

In this Episode, Tanner and Erik will discuss quite a few different topics. We were both dealing with severe weather during the show so be ready to hear Tornado sirens, loud thunder, and plenty of opinions!

Erik and Tanner dive into a fast‑paced breakdown of the latest happenings in NASCAR — from on‑track drama to off‑track storylines shaping the sport right now. But this week, they’re tackling a bigger question too: why does the NASCAR conversation keep drifting toward the negative when there’s so much good happening in the sport?They unpack how social media, fan expectations, and the sport’s own history fuel the constant cycle of criticism, and they highlight the positives that deserve way more attention — rising talent, tighter competition, and some genuinely great racing.And then… the spicy topic of the week:Are the Dillon Brothers becoming the Paul Brothers of NASCAR?Erik and Tanner break down the comparison — the fame, the backlash, the branding, and whether the narrative is fair or just another case of fans looking for someone to roast.If you love NASCAR, love the debates, or just want a fresh perspective that cuts through the noise, this episode is for you.

We're Back! Yes we missed a week, but it doesn't seem like it. Today Tanner and Erik talk about automotive trends and why it's more fun to just do you. Chasing the internet fame has its price and usually it involves dollar signs. This is less racing and more life lessons we've learned, and we want to pass this onto you! Enjoy the episode and thank you for listening!
