Man, that seemed like it was a minute ago that
we were saying two months from now.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
You know, yeah, that's crazy.
Speaker 6 (04:39):
You know how dumb I am?
Speaker 1 (04:41):
I don't answer that.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
For like the last week, I'm like, man, what a
weird thing? The Wild have three games and then after
the Christmas break, seven on the road, season high seven
on the road.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Right.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
I didn't think for one second of why they were
on the road for seven straight games, never put two
seconds a thought into it. And then like three days ago.
Speaker 10 (04:58):
My.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Oh yeah, that's hey, how was yours?
Speaker 4 (05:01):
That was your drive last night to Elcho?
Speaker 6 (05:03):
Didn't go? I got postponed.
Speaker 10 (05:05):
Okay, Yeah, that's a good idea because I drove to
Harper's thing and it took me forever.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Once once the wind started blowing sideways and it looked
like it was gonna be blizzard conditions, they made the
call to postpone it. So we'll get down to Elcho
in the next couple of weeks, for sure. So I
was fifteen minutes down the road when I got the call,
and it was like, yeah, was glad to turn.
Speaker 6 (05:23):
Back because it was getting dicey, It was getting dice Oh.
Speaker 10 (05:27):
Yeah, yeah. Making plans is great. Plans getting canceled even better.
Speaker 6 (05:33):
Loved me like trivia. But yeah, that was a rough
That was a rough one.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
So let's we'll get down there.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
Where was that?
Speaker 12 (05:39):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (05:40):
Oh uh? Where's it? Hold on?
Speaker 10 (05:43):
Remember stay with me where my top story goes. It's
time for some news, by the way, in case you're
wondering what's going on in the whole white world. I
got there news for here, and an update on the
uh proposed uh the kid he wanted to do? Uh?
Who got arrested for wanting to shoot up schools in
Apple Valley. Did you guys read about that?
Speaker 1 (06:01):
No?
Speaker 10 (06:01):
Oh, man, hold on, let me get back to it.
Looks like I deleted. Apparently he went online and asked
which one he should go to, and that's how he
got caught. That's how they knew he was going to
do it.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Well, thank god crime as an adult put him away, right.
Speaker 8 (06:16):
That's heresy and make an example of the son of
a bees.
Speaker 10 (06:21):
Prosecutor say teen posted photos of guns to social media
with a poll asking which the school he should target.
The sixteen year old suspect is an Eastview High School
student who is facing charges for four felony accounts of
violent threats with the intent to terrorize. The Dakota County
District Court is charging him as a juvenile. The teenager
remains in custody ahead of hearing it on Tuesday. County
(06:44):
attorney said any threat of gun violence, especially when directed
the schools, is taken very seriously.
Speaker 8 (06:48):
Apparently not though if you're tried as a juvenile, get
a slap on the risk he's not going to learn
from it, and part of the responsibility of the prosecutors
in this situation is to deter other people from doing it,
and it by throwing the absolute hammer at them.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
Yeah, man, thank god.
Speaker 8 (07:05):
Because then even you have to assume that they're all serious.
But in the off chance that they're not and they're
just joking, you got to learn that it's not funny.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
And yeah, he had the guns.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Yeah, where'd he get the guns? Right? Right?
Speaker 10 (07:15):
You know, I mean he had He wasn't messing around,
you know, yep. Oh Jesus. So anyway, so there you go,
Thank god that didn't happen. Yes, NASCAR driver Greg Biffle
has died in a plane crash in North Carolina. We
talked about it earlier that the North Carolina State Highway
Patrols's Biffle was among these seven people killed when it
was his private jet burst into flames while landing at
Statesville Regional Airport, about fifty miles from Charlotte.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
His family was among the seven killed.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Jes Louise, It's awful, especially this kind of year.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
Just terrible.
Speaker 10 (07:45):
It looks like winter's getting ready to visit Las Vegas.
This weekend should be dry and mild, but next week
a different story. By Christmas Eve, they're going to get
in rain and start getting rain out there. Man, I
love it when it rains in Vegas.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
It rained when John and I were out there, a lot,
a lot.
Speaker 4 (07:59):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
I never noticed because I'm indoors. Good point.
Speaker 8 (08:04):
Yet when I walk in the rain to him always.
Speaker 4 (08:13):
I don't know.
Speaker 10 (08:13):
Man, I love walking in the rain. And when it's hot,
warm rain, it's even better. And that's always what it
is in Vegas.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
I love it.
Speaker 12 (08:19):
Uh.
Speaker 10 (08:20):
Two men are okay after getting stuck on a roller
coaster at Circuit of the Americans in Austin, Texas.
Speaker 6 (08:25):
Good nightmare, Yeah, the worst.
Speaker 10 (08:27):
They were suspended one hundred and thirty feet above the
ground when the Circuit Breaker ride just stopped right before
nine pm on Wednesday. Mechanics were able to get the
coaster going again, and the two gentlemen were able to
finally leave the ride after being stuck for about an hour. Man,
the whole time you're there, you're thinking, well, this is.
Speaker 6 (08:42):
It, this is what position was the actual.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
Military didn't I don't have that.
Speaker 6 (08:50):
Yeah, I know, likely not upside.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Down, and we probably would have heard the Mighty Acts
used to get stuck.
Speaker 6 (08:54):
Like once a month, you've googled the Mighty Acts I.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
Swear I was always so scared to go on it
because people used to get stuck on it all the time.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
No kidding.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Ninety degree angle?
Speaker 4 (09:08):
Oh up or down?
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Pointed up, trying to find that that's awful.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
It would be awful.
Speaker 6 (09:17):
Agree angle. Have you guys rode coasters lately?
Speaker 10 (09:21):
No, I'll never do last summer I've done that for
the last I probably don't.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Coaster days are dead me too.
Speaker 6 (09:27):
I love riding coast same, they're so fun.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
You get a high?
Speaker 6 (09:31):
Did Valley Fair last summer? Wild Thing was the best?
Speaker 1 (09:33):
So good?
Speaker 6 (09:34):
So holds up it does it's a sweet coaster. No,
it's so good. I love coasters. Why don't we go
road tripping?
Speaker 1 (09:40):
You and me ride?
Speaker 3 (09:41):
We'll do six flags across America? Yes, have you been
six days before? Yeah, but it's been twenty five years
or something like the one where it's like the dragon
and they don't they don't put something over the top
of you. It's just like a triangle that like locks
down on raging Bowl. Yeah, yeah, raging you I'm talking about. Yeah,
I've been there.
Speaker 6 (09:57):
Coaster of all time? That is maybe my all time favorite.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Question. It's so good, it's unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Your your feet are dangling, but the cart is still
underneath you, so it feels like you're just floating. It's
a it's the most surreal thing ever. It's awesome core.
Speaker 6 (10:16):
Yes, well that's the best gurney right or whatever.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Day of high school.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
It's got the Batman coaster, which is sweeten like you
fall forward.
Speaker 6 (10:26):
They still have Iron Wolf, which was the stand up coaster.
That was sweet core. Let's go, let's go a road
trip in time.
Speaker 13 (10:32):
I would love it.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
It's about time you guys went somewhere.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Cash. You're facing down by the way.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
One reported lightheaded, another one reported numbness in their leg, and.
Speaker 10 (10:45):
The people in front of the report of being covered
in urine because one.
Speaker 9 (10:49):
Of one of them said it was the greatest day
of his life. That was dwighte hot right down, dad, Yeah,
he got urinated on.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
Why would you like that?
Speaker 1 (10:56):
He's into it. He likes a warm rain, just like.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
I guess I get it.
Speaker 6 (11:01):
Tell me it wasn't raging bowl.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
The other one that has the false drop, like when
you hit the peak, they drop you.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
On a little platform just for a second.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
The trick you to think that it's like the big drop,
So it's a little like ten foot platform, so you
get the fake drop and.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Then the real drop. I feel it, and you think
that was it.
Speaker 6 (11:22):
Out of time.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
I'm so glad you know this because not a lot
of people know about this. It's so good.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Six hour drive and it's the best coaster I've ever
been on core.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
Wow, that's incredible.
Speaker 6 (11:30):

Speaker 4 (11:32):
I wish you would, wow if you didn't bring up
the raid.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
I haven't been there since I was like twenty, though,
so I have no idea if it still holds up.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
If it's a little rockier ride than it was back
in the day. Hopefully it's so smooth as ever, you
have no idea. I haven't been there since high school,
So man, clue.

Speaker 10 (11:56):
An automatic car that's treated like a stick shift.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
No, we can stop it. Holiday gets some snacks on
the way.
Speaker 6 (12:03):

two million Americans gonna go at least fifty miles or
more from home over this thirteen day holiday period, a

Speaker 14 (15:36):
Dusty here on the Power Trip presented by All Around,
your timber Tech deck building contractor.
Speaker 9 (15:43):
Thanks all Around, Thank you your MINNICOA while battle or
excuse me, the Vikings battle the Giants on Sunday at noon,
pregame at ten. Your Vikings are two and a half
point favorites. Christian Daris and Jonavan Hargrave. We're both out
of on Javon excuse me, and have not practiced this week,
so I doubt we will get Christian darisaw or Javon.
Speaker 10 (16:05):
I truly am surprised they haven't just put him on
the shelf same I thought they would this week. I
really like, no, I don't know anything about anything, but
I thought they would.
Speaker 9 (16:11):
And Brian O'Neill and Ryan Kelly were both limited yesterday.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
Do you think Javon Hargrave and Jonathan Allen are both
one and done with the Vikes or do you think
they're going to come back.
Speaker 9 (16:21):
I think one of them has a trickier contract to cut,
and I think that one's Jonathan Allen, So.
Speaker 6 (16:27):
Alan likely to come back hardreg maybe not, I would guess.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Yeah, I wonder why. We'll see. But they got it.
Speaker 9 (16:32):
Yeah, I think they got to get rid of like
fifty six million dollars.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
No they don't. The Caps and myth you can sign
whoever you want to whatever you want. Well, still your
turn now.
Speaker 9 (16:46):
The Week sixteen started with an epic game with the
Seahawks beating the Rams thirty eight to thirty seven and ot.
The Hawks trailed thirty to fourteen with thirteen minutes and
thirty four seconds left in the fourth. They scored two
time touchdowns, got both two point conversions. One of them
was basically a backwards pass that then the guy picked
up in the end zone, an unbelievable play watching on
(17:07):
social media, and then a ot The Rams scored a touchdown,
but then the Hawks scored and went for two puka
in the loss, two hundred and twenty five yards, two
touchdowns and twelve catches. The Seahawks are twelve and three.
The Rams are eleven and four. This is pretty guessable
because I'm bringing it up. Marny Seahawks all.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
Time, Marnee and Chris and Parish and Zackenhawks Seahawks all
time in the fourth quarter trailing by sixteen or more,
and last night they trailed by sixteen right thirty to fourteen.
Before last night in their franchise history, they had been
down one hundred and fifty five times with that scenario
(17:50):
sixteen or more in the fourth quarter. How many wins
in their franchise history had they had out of the
previous one hundred and fifty five times.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Zero.
Speaker 12 (18:03):
That's an impressive comeback. It has to be a small number.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
Two you say two, Parish you said zero, Chris, yeah, one, one,
Zachary yeah, baby.
Speaker 6 (18:19):
It doesn't matter. Parish is right.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Zero.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
They were zero and one fifty five in the fourth
quarter trailing sixteen or more until last night.
Speaker 6 (18:28):
That's their first ever win in that scenario.
Speaker 9 (18:31):
The Rams are the first team in NFL history to
lose with five hundred plus yard zero turnovers and three
plus opponent turnovers.
Speaker 12 (18:43):
I went to bed last night and yeah, congrats, And
then I got up and wasn't it literally until SaaS
just read this update and said the Seahawk. But I
was like, what, yeah, you assumed he was wrong? I
just I was like, wow, what did I miss? Because
(19:04):
I think Sam Darnold had just thrown an interception and
it was just going the wrong way. And I wasn't
really watching watching the game. It was just kind of
on and I'm like, okay, and what an update.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
But you're right.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
If you hear Matt Stafford throws for four hundred and
fifty seven yards, three touchdowns.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
And no interceptions, there's no way they lost. They did.
Speaker 12 (19:25):
You know who would be really happy about the outcome
of that game? Both of my brothers, who both have
a Seattle Seahawks tattoo, and.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
I what they have like Sea Hawks tattoos?
Speaker 1 (19:39):
How did that happen? Are they also from the Dakotas?
Speaker 12 (19:43):
They are from North Dakota as am I. But you
know I've told you about my mom's sisters that I
casino trip with. They are they mar They lit Yep,
margaing Colleen. They live in north of Seattle in Washington
and my parents it's actually lived out there as well.
My older brother was born there before they moved back
(20:04):
and we've lived our.
Speaker 13 (20:06):
Entire lives in North Dakota.
Speaker 12 (20:07):
But my brothers have this affinity because his two aunts,
those old ladies that I could see no gamble.
Speaker 15 (20:14):
With Margie and who main Colleen the color anti Keene.
I'm sorry, colored anti Keene is a yeah, though Colleen
is with the sea when you're.
Speaker 4 (20:26):
It's hard to say.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
He can all your hands out, marg G and Colleen Woodhawk.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
Marg G.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Yeah, well they gamble.
Speaker 5 (20:33):
Hold on and say it the gamble something about a tattoo.
Speaker 12 (20:41):
Yeah, because my brothers went out there maybe, I mean
it's been at least ten years. They went out there
for a game, as they have done before, and they
both came one a game I'm sorry he Seattle Seahawks game,
and they both came home with tattoos, one on the calf,
one on the shoulders.
Speaker 10 (20:59):
Lad thank you, thank you. I'm starting a new book
about Marny. What's it called superfluous?
Speaker 4 (21:12):
Is that a compliment.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
My brothers have?
Speaker 4 (21:16):
Oh well, I'm a Vikings fan.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
Do you have a Vikings tattoo? I don't have any, too,
same we're freaks now, we're like we're the weirdos. It
used to be if you had a tattoo, you're a weirdo. Now,
if you don't have a tattoo, you're a weirdo. M okay, Mars,
thanks Martin Garris, you have a Seahawks tattoo?
Speaker 1 (21:38):
No, I don't.
Speaker 6 (21:40):
You played in Seattle.
Speaker 4 (21:41):
I played in I love.
Speaker 7 (21:44):
Thunderbirds, absolutely underbirds. Yeah, I had a blast out there.
I love Seattle. Lorrain didn't bother me at all. I
can sleep in the rain. I sleep in the snow.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Is that one of those bits, like, just like the seahawks,
But seahawks is not a real thing, right, say, like
a fictional bird. There's no such thing as a seahawk.
Same thing with the thunderbird or not? Is that the
also fictional? Our logo was.
Speaker 13 (22:09):
A green and blue two can stamp.
Speaker 4 (22:12):
Oh, let me see it looked a lot.
Speaker 9 (22:14):
Tougher, but more or less, the internet of this building
is awful.
Speaker 4 (22:19):
Awful.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
It sucks.
Speaker 10 (22:20):
Sunderbird is primarily a powerful mythological giant bird.
Speaker 6 (22:22):
Okay, there you go, fake bird.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (22:25):
By the way, the Seahawks uniforms last night, Marn's pretty cool,
right Yeah? Yeah, Like they were kind of greenish in
a way that I've never seen them before.
Speaker 12 (22:33):
Agreed, And I like when the lower third scoreboard Zacho
matches the uniforms and how it changes every week.
Speaker 6 (22:44):
Yeah, very cool.
Speaker 4 (22:44):
Yeah, the Seahawks have.
Speaker 13 (22:45):
Had good uniforms for a long time.
Speaker 12 (22:47):
When they this year were their throwbacks from the Steve Largin.
Speaker 4 (22:54):
We played against them.
Speaker 12 (22:56):
So cool.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
I didn't love the neon green of that lime green that.
Speaker 12 (22:59):
They went too, but I mean it was distinct, but yeah,
but that throwback was so I didn't.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
Want to any of the game because I was watching
the wild win, right, Zachary, But man off air earlier,
a lot of people in this room lighting up al Michaels.
Speaker 4 (23:17):
Oh no, really curiously for.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
The two departed members of Power to Morning, Joe, Tommy
Olson and John Cass just how the call is?
Speaker 6 (23:27):
You guys are just hammering.
Speaker 9 (23:28):
There was a game winner last week that he didn't
and you've nailed it yesterday, Zach.
Speaker 6 (23:32):
And when you tweeted that Kevin.
Speaker 9 (23:33):
Harlan is on like the Sea team, he should be
the voice of Thursday Night is the third in command
at CBS Sports, and at such a waste because he'll
be doing Kansas City, Tennessee this weekend on just little
literally just a Missouri and Tennessee. Basically, he is a
national voice. He's a national talent.
Speaker 6 (23:52):
He's the best, all the.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
Respects in the world of Al Michaels.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
I love the guy, greatest hockey call or greatest really
one of these sports call.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
But he he just doesn't doesn't have it an what
happened last night? Though? What just a boring call? It
just does.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Yeah, he doesn't sound interested much at all. And again
I would say it's less for me about Alan the
boring nature of his calls now, and it's just more
about the fact that Kevin Harlan is universally loved. He's energetic,
he's funny, he's he would be a great uh fit
with Kirk and the rest of that Prime crew, which
(24:30):
is all about having fun and and and energy. It's
just it's a very weird juxtaposition of Al Michaels versus
the rest of that crew. Kevin Harland be great, but
and he's already on the payroll for Prime. He does
the NBA on Prime. So it's a perfect situation. Make
the call, Amazon, sauce, do you did you stay up
and watch the end of the game.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
I did not.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
You did not, But you've seen it. Yeah, give me
your best impression of what al Michaels did on the
game winning two point conversion in overtime.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Right now.
Speaker 9 (25:00):
Yeah, the Seahawks need this two point conversion for the victory.
Very ballsy to go for this two point conversion, even
though if they don't get it, they will probably lose
the first seat. Isn't that right, Kirk? Yes, you're correct.
Here we go. Donald stands behind the center checking out
them slabs, looks over to his wide receiver, wings at him,
(25:24):
blows him two kisses. I think that's a sign for
the play. Kirk is still with us. Are you sleeping? Okay, Kirk,
Here we go. Donald motions to the center to snap
the ball, also waves to two babes in the stands
with ginormous jugs. Donald takes the snap, drops back, looking
looking right, looking left, looking all over the place. Pass
(25:47):
rush comes in. He ducks under one guy, throws the
ball to a guy who hasn't played all season. The
ladies with the big jugs go wild. Seahawks.
Speaker 6 (25:56):
You're right, al Michaels has lost it.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Yeah, there's a little musburger in there, Yeah, buddy.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
Yeah, it's a little bit of Rosie in there too.
Speaker 9 (26:07):
The Wild beat the Blue Jackets five to Zacho and
Perry for their sixth straight win. Hartman, Terasenko and Ericson
that Calls scored for the Wild. Caprisof and Boldy chipped
in two empty net goals. The Wild are twenty one
nine and five. They battle the Oilers tomorrow at two.
Speaker 10 (26:27):
It's time for the Hockey Minute with Mark Parrish, brought
to you by.
Speaker 4 (26:29):
My friends at Saint Plant State University.
Speaker 7 (26:31):
We are seeing now with the Minnesota Wild some all
the adversity that went through last year with the injuries,
they learned that they can do the next man up,
especially when you're missing your best players most of the
year and you're still continuing to win your playoff team
to prove something to yourself. And right now they have
some serious top end talent with Quinn Hughes coming in.
(26:54):
Obviously the Boldie Ross or the Boldi ec prieze Off
connection is still there, and it's just it's amazing to watch.
I love watching Quinn Hughes and Brock Fraber play in
thirty minutes because you know what coming down the stretch,
coming into the playoffs, there's going to be nights they're
going to have to play that, so I want them
ready for that.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
And hey and you talked.
Speaker 7 (27:13):
We talked about depth on Wednesday, Hartman Johansson. These guys
are the depth players and they're kicking in scoring. So
I don't see much issues right now with us making
a run this.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
Year, Marky Mark, Well, yeah, is this the best wild
team in their twenty five year franchise history?
Speaker 1 (27:31):
It is? Yes? Really wow.
Speaker 7 (27:33):
Well with Quinn, Hughes and Rizov the goalie tandem right now,
Balstaad Augustuson, there's just it's amazing right now. Our decour
is terrifying. It went from a very very good, a
sneaky decour in the league to one of the best
instantly instantly. And I love Baalstad and Gustuson competing for
(27:55):
that job because man, they are making each other better
and better and better.
Speaker 4 (27:59):
Man does that go?
Speaker 1 (28:01):
Yeah? I concur it was. It's it's fascinating.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
I mean, we knew over the summertime that this team
last year was was was good and they could have
certainly gone.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
Further if there wasn't a stupid off side called.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
But they they you know, they got better both you know,
as a cohesive unit, and as you mentioned Parish, I
mean they did learn their lesson. This was a very
tough time a year year ago because of all the injuries,
and there were good excuses to be made.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
But now they've learned from that.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Everybody's pitching and everybody's doing their job, and they put
themselves in a very very good position. The problem, of
course is uh, tough weekend had Oilers, obviously tough with David,
but the headline is.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
Going to be on the.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
Second night of a back to back Colorado Avalanche in
the town. Two losses all the year still and we're
almost at Christmas for Colorado. They've got an unbelievable squad,
but they're they're they're human babing.
Speaker 3 (28:59):
You know, there's you're in Tooiler's schedule and the ABS schedule.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
Who's that go?
Speaker 3 (29:03):
Why they are more afraid of us than we are
of them. I don't know if that's true. I just
wanted to say it all said, we're one team that.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Everyone else uh knows. They got to bring it.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
Bet Yeah, and then I don't think they want to
play us necessarily other at this point because gosh, we're
playing good hockey.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Five goals again, Come on, Quinn.
Speaker 3 (29:26):
Hughes has never lost his number of the middical Yeah.
Speaker 6 (29:31):
Wells and that goes into beast mode.
Speaker 4 (29:35):
That's hockey, I think sure.
Speaker 3 (29:38):
Is Vikey's news in a second William so Walach in
about twenty minutes, initials in like forty five.
Speaker 6 (29:42):
This is the power to a warning show. I'm a fan.
Speaker 4 (29:47):
F Hey, Happy, Happy.
Speaker 10 (30:07):
Christmas, every money, Good morning to you.
Speaker 4 (30:08):
Hope you're feeling good, Happy Christmas?
Speaker 10 (30:10):
Yeah, man, Marco, Merry Christmas to you, brother, thank you.
How you feeling the old parish households it feeling Christmas?
Speaker 7 (30:16):
It's oh, it's been feeling Christmas for a while. He
did a great job getting all the lights up, all
the decorations up, pretty much instantly after Thanksgiving.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
Yeah, it is weird to say Happy Christmas, right, but
it's also weird to say Mary Halloween, Mary fourth July,
Mary Valentine's Day.
Speaker 6 (30:32):
That sounds insane.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
You don't ever use the word Mary except for the
holiday season. Let's start doing that, you know, Mary Saint
Patrick's Day.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
Yeah, that's good.
Speaker 6 (30:43):
Like you don't like the ring of that, Marnie, you're
shaking your hand.
Speaker 10 (30:46):
Yeah, Mary Frost Awareness Month, Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 12 (30:51):
Right, let's Christmas stand out? It does I feel like
the holiday cheers in the era? Guy opened the door
for me. Nope, it was not Zach. It was a
younger man, even like maybe thirty. And he waited for me.
It was a good ten steps behind him, and he
waited and I said not good. I said thank you
(31:12):
very much, and you said you're welcome. Merry Christmas.
Speaker 10 (31:14):
Oh, I was like, did he say I hate to
watch you leave, but I love to watch you go?
Speaker 1 (31:19):
And then he said, have you been using vitamin C?
Speaker 4 (31:21):
Siah?
Speaker 1 (31:22):
Did he try to take did he try to tickle
your sides?
Speaker 3 (31:24):
Whoa, you're shaking the hand of William s Wallach, William
walcome to the show, William Marny.
Speaker 6 (31:30):
Gellner, Marniy Gello or Glener William Swash.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
How you doing?
Speaker 13 (31:33):
Get there? You guys doing?
Speaker 6 (31:34):
Good morning?
Speaker 13 (31:34):
Man?
Speaker 3 (31:35):
So eating prairie zone, Yeah, eating prairie Look at this dude, Nascar?
Speaker 4 (31:40):
What's going on?
Speaker 1 (31:41):
Man?
Speaker 4 (31:41):
I'm so happy you came in. Thanks for getting up early.
Speaker 16 (31:43):
Yeah, no problem. It's great to be here and great
great to be back home. Flew in last night, so
good to experience the chili weather. Well, I can flew
in from where North Carolina? Yeah, because, like you.
Speaker 3 (31:53):
Were saying, Chris, everybody's flying in and out of North Carolina. Obviously,
just terrible news yesterday. We can get your reaction here
in a second. But you're back just for the holidays
and you go back out or what's the plan.
Speaker 16 (32:02):
Yeah, we go back out the twenty first, and then
just spend Christmas there.
Speaker 10 (32:07):
I would guess that testing never ends, right testing.
Speaker 16 (32:11):
Yeah, honestly, this is my time off. We still have
simulator time, ok, twice a week for three hours, and
then actual testing is really limited in Nascars, so it
kind of sucks. They can't be in the car all
the time, which I'd prefer that over the simulator, but
you know, it is what it is.
Speaker 4 (32:30):
It's the nineteenth.
Speaker 13 (32:31):
Yeah, you go back in two days, three days, sorry,
three days.
Speaker 6 (32:35):
He's a mover and shaker with us.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
He doesn't have time.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
You can't drive Nascars stock cars in the snow.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
You gotta get out of here.
Speaker 10 (32:44):
The good part is that he got here from the
airport in three minutes. Yeah, you know, I mean, it's
it's time man.
Speaker 4 (32:50):
Yeah. Is it is it.
Speaker 10 (32:51):
Tough for you to get behind the wheel of a
regular car and not get speeding tickets.
Speaker 16 (32:55):
No, no, I haven't take it. Actually what Wow? Pulled
over twice, but I got out of it and it
was Dad.
Speaker 6 (33:04):
Sauce's dad get you out of it. He's a lawyer.
Speaker 13 (33:06):
Now that was my own doing nice.
Speaker 6 (33:10):
He was probably a gentleman. Chivalry is not dead.
Speaker 3 (33:12):
Being a gentleman, being nice, best officer yep sometimes helps.
Speaker 10 (33:15):
So again, before we get moving too far, sawallis right,
we're saying that correctly. Good Eden Prairie, Minnesota's own a
future NASCAR star, current NASCAR star has raced everything from
the Transam Series to a uh you know obviously Minard's
Arcis Series. You I mean, you've been in every type
of race car. What kind of racing do you prefer?
(33:36):
Your circle track?
Speaker 1 (33:37):
Guy?
Speaker 4 (33:37):
You like the road course stuff?
Speaker 16 (33:39):
Well this year I really like the road courses because
it gives you a lot to do. You know, you
gotta change gears, you manipulate the car a lot different
than the ovals.
Speaker 13 (33:47):
But the ovals are always gonna have my heart.
Speaker 16 (33:49):
That's what I grew up doing in They're the fastest
and highest pace.
Speaker 10 (33:54):
You started at Little el Coo Speedway, which is of
course where you were supposed to go last night there.
Speaker 16 (34:00):
I started at nine, at nine yep, in cars called
quarter midgets, quorter midgets yep.
Speaker 3 (34:05):
So he did somebody in your family did they love racing?
Or were you at nine years old just into cars
and said I want to try this.
Speaker 13 (34:12):
No, it was really on me. And then yeah, you.
Speaker 3 (34:15):
Have no history with racing in your family or almost
none now nothing.
Speaker 13 (34:19):
Was the first one to really watch NASCAR and enjoy it.
Speaker 6 (34:21):
So they took you down there at nine years old
and you're like, I want to give this a shot.
Speaker 13 (34:24):
Yeah, it was a king. It's called try it. You
like it, and I liked it.
Speaker 16 (34:28):
I did that for four years, and then moved the
legend cars and did that for two years when I
was twelve, and then got into a full bodies dot
car at fourteen?
Speaker 1 (34:35):
No kidding?
Speaker 10 (34:36):
Can I get deep in the weeds with him for
a minute, guys? Do you guys mind go for all?
Speaker 1 (34:39):
Right?
Speaker 10 (34:40):
So William I ran a legend at Elko and Raceway
Park for one year and then I ran a NASCAR
Late Model at Elko and Raceway for one year.
Speaker 1 (34:47):
Awesome.
Speaker 4 (34:48):
I was terrible, I really was.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
I was doing rady.
Speaker 10 (34:52):
So when you moved yeah, right when you moved out
of the tqs and to no it's just a ray Yeah,
was it a is that you guys call them up
here TQ mins midgets for you just court them?
Speaker 4 (35:02):
Okay, I got it. I grew up in Indiana. It's
a different world, as you will know.
Speaker 10 (35:07):
So when you moved into that Legends car, into those
tiny little tires, did you back it into the wall
as many times as I did?
Speaker 13 (35:13):
I know I did not.
Speaker 4 (35:14):
Oh my god.
Speaker 16 (35:16):
Maybe maybe you had a few self spins. That was
really about it. But I kept it clean.
Speaker 10 (35:21):
Turn three at Elco, going in as fast as I could. Yep,
those back tires broke loose and I hit that wall
so hard I can still feel it. Just back that
thing in there and that car was done. You never
raced that car again, Yeah, had to get a different one.
Speaker 16 (35:34):
That's actually one of the worst hits you can take
is backing it in because you're anticipating it and you
put your head forward and then you slam back into
the seat.
Speaker 13 (35:41):
That's how I got my first concussion. Was it really yep?
Speaker 4 (35:43):
Yeah? Those cars.
Speaker 10 (35:46):
One of the crazy things about racing to me that
I always find really fascinating is how much more difficult.
It is in some ways at the lower ranks of
the racing. To me, driving the Legend was much harder
than driving the Late Model because of the tires.
Speaker 4 (36:01):
Do you agree?
Speaker 1 (36:02):
Yeah?
Speaker 16 (36:02):
Absolutely, And the power to wait ratio is really huge,
and it's the most difficult car to drive, I think,
and that's why you kind of have to start out
and learning that, and then late Models it gets easier.
You have more grip, a little bit less horsepower to wait,
and but then when you get to NASCAR, they took
away some of our horse power. So we're hoping to
(36:22):
get some of that back to have a little bit
more fun.
Speaker 4 (36:24):
Yeah, you're only going one hundred and ninety yeah, yeah.
Speaker 13 (36:26):
Yeah, Well that's wound up. Yeah right right right, William,
you are nineteen years old?
Speaker 6 (36:31):
Correct?
Speaker 12 (36:31):
Did you graduate high school like Edenbray High School at eighteen?
Speaker 4 (36:35):
Last year?
Speaker 16 (36:36):
So when COVID hit I switched online and then moved
to North Carolina to pursue racing.
Speaker 1 (36:40):
He did.
Speaker 6 (36:40):
Okay, So we did your parents stay here?
Speaker 16 (36:44):
My dad's here, he runs the family company. Yep, Hey
he's over there.
Speaker 12 (36:52):
Are you living in like a village of other young drivers?
Speaker 1 (36:57):
No?
Speaker 13 (36:57):
Actually, everybody lives yea, they all were.
Speaker 9 (37:01):
Yeah, it's one big Yeah.
Speaker 10 (37:04):
The drivers down in North Carol they get they give fires.
Speaker 4 (37:07):
Yeah, it's great.
Speaker 1 (37:08):
It's like a camp.
Speaker 13 (37:09):
Yeah yeah.
Speaker 6 (37:12):
William is the one, the only one that survived.
Speaker 1 (37:15):
So you said it fourteen. What year?
Speaker 6 (37:17):
How old were you when you moved in North Carolina?
Speaker 13 (37:19):
Twenty twenty one? So I guess fifteen.
Speaker 3 (37:21):
Uh kind of hard though, to leave your friends and
like the life that you knew, and just like I'm
going all in at fifteen years old, not twenty years
old like college age.
Speaker 6 (37:28):
We're going fifteen, just going for it.
Speaker 16 (37:30):
I guess it was a little bit weird, but I
didn't really think about it that much, and I came
home a good bit to see them because I had
more time then. But now it's about three times a year.
Speaker 6 (37:39):
Was there was there a plan B though?
Speaker 3 (37:41):
Or not? Was it all just I have to go
all in and if it doesn't work out, then I
have the rest of my life to figure out how
to get back on track. Yeah.
Speaker 16 (37:47):
Basically that if it doesn't work out, you kind of
have to figure it out. Then if you have a
plan B, that means you don't want it bad enough.
Speaker 3 (37:53):
I guess I've heard that actors and musicians say that
a lot, that you have to go in one hundred
percent without one foot out the door, because then you're
not fully committing. You have to be willing to fail,
but you have to go all in.
Speaker 13 (38:05):
Yep, that's.
Speaker 3 (38:08):
I don't know have the balls to do that now,
let alone at fourteen or fifteen years old. I don't
have that kind of gamble in me. I can I
ask you one other questions? This is the dumbest question
you're going to be asked in the next hour.
Speaker 13 (38:17):
That's fine.
Speaker 3 (38:18):
I have this theory, especially with NASCAR, that like you know,
Bryson Deshamba had to be a golfer based on the
name you don't have, you're destined to be a golfer.
Speaker 6 (38:29):
Has anybody in NASCAR asked you to change your name
to Billy?
Speaker 3 (38:32):
Because Billy's Sooalwich sounds like a NASCAR driver, William SWaCH
sounds like a lawyer, right like that, that's a really
distinguished sounding name.
Speaker 6 (38:40):
How do we get you to change it to Billy?
Speaker 4 (38:42):
How many times are you going to asked that question?
Speaker 11 (38:44):
Like can't you see Billy Soalich in the Daytona five hundred?
Speaker 16 (38:54):
Dad's in it sounds sounds like the winner sounds a
little bit more redneck, but that's exactly speeding tickets.
Speaker 1 (39:02):
William gets out of a speeding ticket.
Speaker 10 (39:05):
I'm sorry, did you say this is dad in serios?
We say, yeah, yeah, you know what Starky rules. Thank
you for everything you guys do.
Speaker 1 (39:11):
Man.
Speaker 10 (39:11):
I mean, honestly, we love Starky. You guys are the
best Starky hearing technologies. That's fantastic.
Speaker 1 (39:17):
Place was awesome. We were there just a couple of
months ago.
Speaker 10 (39:19):
Yeah, okay, so back to my uh stupid questions.
Speaker 4 (39:23):
Okay, all right, so then you move up.
Speaker 10 (39:26):
Did you run Alko ESK late models a lot or
did you go straight down to North Carolina run light Moss?
Speaker 3 (39:31):
Now?
Speaker 13 (39:31):
I went straight down to North Carolina.
Speaker 16 (39:32):
And then the next time I raced at Elko was
when the Arkha Manards series went there. Got the first
year I got second, and then the the last year
I went, which was I think it was last year.
Only last year we won that race in a three
wife finish. It was pretty cool to put that show
on for the fans.
Speaker 10 (39:49):
Do you find that it's much more difficult to run
the lower rungs of racing because the drivers are less.
Speaker 16 (39:59):
Predictable sometimes, yes, but the fields aren't as dense in
the competition. But I'm going to be running some late
model races this year more than I did last year,
and those are just really fun races to just keep
going and stay active because we don't have testing all
the time in the actual car.
Speaker 3 (40:17):
Back to going all in when you're fourteen or fifteen, right,
that means you have to on some level have a
little bit of fearlessness to you And now the fact
that you're a professional driver, how much fear is involved
on any given race? Do you have any fear or
is that a huge problem to even have that seep
into your brain at all?
Speaker 16 (40:35):
It's definitely an issue if it's all the time, maybe
like your first time at Daytona, you know, you don't
know what to expect, so you get some butterflies, but
you kind of have to feel in control and know
what you're doing and feel like you know what you're doing,
and then it all just kind of come together and
you'll get really comfortable. Once you're comfortable is when you
start pushing the car harder and you get faster.
Speaker 10 (40:58):
Well, yeah, I've told this story on the air and
I will said, do you remember the name Kevin Siwinski.
Have you ever met Kevin?
Speaker 13 (41:07):
I don't know if I've ever met him Bill.
Speaker 10 (41:09):
Yeah, So he was technically my teammate. I was way
above my pay grade. I was racing for Country Joe
Racing just because I had a sponsor. That was kind
of how it was. Right, And I'm early in the
racing season driving the late Model.
Speaker 4 (41:22):
I had this very fast car.
Speaker 10 (41:23):
The car that I was driving had won the championship
at Alcoe the year before, right, but I wasn't going
fast enough in it. I was qualifying like midfield and
a car that should have been on the pole. So
Kevin takes me out one day to practice and he says,
follow me around the racetrack. Don't break until I break.
Get on my tail. I don't care if you hit me.
Stay on my tail, but don't get off the gas
and hit the brake until you till I do. I said, okay,
(41:45):
I mean this, William. I could not physically keep my
foot off the break because every time we went into
the corner, I was thinking I'm going to die. There's
no because you get there's a certain point where the
car sets and you can feel your butt cheeks kind
of the right rear tire set in the corner and
you know you're set.
Speaker 4 (42:03):
You're okay.
Speaker 10 (42:04):
I could never get the car to that spot. I
was too afraid. That's when I knew I couldn't be
a race car driver.
Speaker 16 (42:09):
Yeah, it's tough. You really have to have that feel
in your butt. Like you're saying, it's true.
Speaker 4 (42:13):
I know it sounds weird, but it's true.
Speaker 13 (42:15):
It is.
Speaker 16 (42:16):
It is weird, a lot of people probably want to
understand it. But to go that extra mile, you kind
of have to do stuff you're not willing to do
and be uncomfortable. And whenever I take somebody in my
simulator at home we use I racing, they always think
as soon as they get off the frottle they just
slam on the brakes, and then they don't.
Speaker 13 (42:35):
They're not even at the corner and they're stopping.
Speaker 4 (42:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 16 (42:37):
So, but it's completely different what people think, and you
have to be really smooth.
Speaker 13 (42:40):
I'm a thoddle on the break.
Speaker 16 (42:41):
We really don't use much brake on tracks that are
bigger than half a mile.
Speaker 3 (42:46):
Well, oh, heavy note, But in your young career, have
you ever crossed paths with Greg Biffel.
Speaker 16 (42:53):
I have a few times. So the first time I
met him was when I was a race fan. I
went to Texas in fifteen, and you know, when you're
a kid, you meet the drivers and they come out
of their hollers and they sign your stuff and then
go back in. But I remember he was a really
genuine guy and just really nice and a lot of
the drivers are you know, signing stuff.
Speaker 13 (43:13):
Go, But he talked for a little bit.
Speaker 16 (43:15):
And then the last time I met him, I think
was two years ago at a late model race at
Tri County in North Carolina when he was doing all
the help for the hurricane victims in North Carolina. They
had him be the Grand Marshall and so we got
to meet him briefly before the race.
Speaker 4 (43:33):
Wow.
Speaker 6 (43:34):
Terrible yep, super tragic.
Speaker 10 (43:36):
Yes, a lot of traveling man, that's always there's a
lot going on. All right, Yeah, we should break and
come back and continue to meet our guests.
Speaker 1 (43:44):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (43:44):
Well we'll do fan Fible play initials in like twenty minutes.
Speaker 6 (43:47):
Are you familiar with the game, correct?
Speaker 13 (43:49):
I am.
Speaker 16 (43:49):
I'm excited to get to get one right.
Speaker 3 (43:52):
Yeah, all right, goals to be all right exactly, So
go for the win. I thought you were supposed to
be fearless, but I got it, and we're going. We're
going with William correct Yes, damn ty brandom, uh fan

Everybody to know on record that I said that I
was going to have sex with dude.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Was just a smooth operator.
Speaker 8 (01:37):
Problem is, near the end he had to wear like
a king size, a California king sized bed sheet to
cover him because he was just a building.
Speaker 10 (01:49):
No, I'm thinking of somebody else. Barry White wasn't on
the cartoon, right, Oh, chef, No, that was.

Speaker 6 (03:21):
It makes a lot of sense to me.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
It just it feels like it to me.
Speaker 6 (03:24):
But no, it feels like it has a great place.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
I've got one at my desk out there.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
You know, we can talk like strategy in form of
how to you like how it gets down, but form

Man, that seemed like it was a minute ago that
we were saying two months from now.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
You know, yeah, that's crazy.
Speaker 6 (04:39):
You know how dumb I am?
Speaker 1 (04:41):
I don't answer that.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
For like the last week, I'm like, man, what a
weird thing? The Wild have three games and then after
the Christmas break, seven on the road, season high seven
on the road.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Right.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
I didn't think for one second of why they were
on the road for seven straight games, never put two
seconds a thought into it. And then like three days ago.
Speaker 10 (04:58):
My.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Oh yeah, that's hey, how was yours?
Speaker 4 (05:01):
That was your drive last night to Elcho?
Speaker 6 (05:03):
Didn't go? I got postponed.
Speaker 10 (05:05):
Okay, Yeah, that's a good idea because I drove to
Harper's thing and it took me forever.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Once once the wind started blowing sideways and it looked
like it was gonna be blizzard conditions, they made the
call to postpone it. So we'll get down to Elcho
in the next couple of weeks, for sure. So I
was fifteen minutes down the road when I got the call,
and it was like, yeah, was glad to turn.
Speaker 6 (05:23):
Back because it was getting dicey, It was getting dice Oh.
Speaker 10 (05:27):
Yeah, yeah. Making plans is great. Plans getting canceled even better.
Speaker 6 (05:33):
Loved me like trivia. But yeah, that was a rough
That was a rough one.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
So let's we'll get down there.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
Where was that?
Speaker 12 (05:39):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (05:40):
Oh uh? Where's it? Hold on?
Speaker 10 (05:43):
Remember stay with me where my top story goes. It's
time for some news, by the way, in case you're
wondering what's going on in the whole white world. I
got there news for here, and an update on the
uh proposed uh the kid he wanted to do? Uh?
Who got arrested for wanting to shoot up schools in
Apple Valley. Did you guys read about that?
Speaker 1 (06:01):
No?
Speaker 10 (06:01):
Oh, man, hold on, let me get back to it.
Looks like I deleted. Apparently he went online and asked
which one he should go to, and that's how he
got caught. That's how they knew he was going to
do it.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Well, thank god crime as an adult put him away, right.
Speaker 8 (06:16):
That's heresy and make an example of the son of
a bees.
Speaker 10 (06:21):
Prosecutor say teen posted photos of guns to social media
with a poll asking which the school he should target.
The sixteen year old suspect is an Eastview High School
student who is facing charges for four felony accounts of
violent threats with the intent to terrorize. The Dakota County
District Court is charging him as a juvenile. The teenager
remains in custody ahead of hearing it on Tuesday. County
(06:44):
attorney said any threat of gun violence, especially when directed
the schools, is taken very seriously.
Speaker 8 (06:48):
Apparently not though if you're tried as a juvenile, get
a slap on the risk he's not going to learn
from it, and part of the responsibility of the prosecutors
in this situation is to deter other people from doing it,
and it by throwing the absolute hammer at them.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
Yeah, man, thank god.
Speaker 8 (07:05):
Because then even you have to assume that they're all serious.
But in the off chance that they're not and they're
just joking, you got to learn that it's not funny.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
And yeah, he had the guns.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Yeah, where'd he get the guns? Right? Right?
Speaker 10 (07:15):
You know, I mean he had He wasn't messing around,
you know, yep. Oh Jesus. So anyway, so there you go,
Thank god that didn't happen. Yes, NASCAR driver Greg Biffle
has died in a plane crash in North Carolina. We
talked about it earlier that the North Carolina State Highway
Patrols's Biffle was among these seven people killed when it
was his private jet burst into flames while landing at
Statesville Regional Airport, about fifty miles from Charlotte.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
His family was among the seven killed.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Jes Louise, It's awful, especially this kind of year.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
Just terrible.
Speaker 10 (07:45):
It looks like winter's getting ready to visit Las Vegas.
This weekend should be dry and mild, but next week
a different story. By Christmas Eve, they're going to get
in rain and start getting rain out there. Man, I
love it when it rains in Vegas.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
It rained when John and I were out there, a lot,
a lot.
Speaker 4 (07:59):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
I never noticed because I'm indoors. Good point.
Speaker 8 (08:04):
Yet when I walk in the rain to him always.
Speaker 4 (08:13):
I don't know.
Speaker 10 (08:13):
Man, I love walking in the rain. And when it's hot,
warm rain, it's even better. And that's always what it
is in Vegas.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
I love it.
Speaker 12 (08:19):
Uh.
Speaker 10 (08:20):
Two men are okay after getting stuck on a roller
coaster at Circuit of the Americans in Austin, Texas.
Speaker 6 (08:25):
Good nightmare, Yeah, the worst.
Speaker 10 (08:27):
They were suspended one hundred and thirty feet above the
ground when the Circuit Breaker ride just stopped right before
nine pm on Wednesday. Mechanics were able to get the
coaster going again, and the two gentlemen were able to
finally leave the ride after being stuck for about an hour. Man,
the whole time you're there, you're thinking, well, this is.
Speaker 6 (08:42):
It, this is what position was the actual.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
Military didn't I don't have that.
Speaker 6 (08:50):
Yeah, I know, likely not upside.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Down, and we probably would have heard the Mighty Acts
used to get stuck.
Speaker 6 (08:54):
Like once a month, you've googled the Mighty Acts I.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
Swear I was always so scared to go on it
because people used to get stuck on it all the time.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
No kidding.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Ninety degree angle?
Speaker 4 (09:08):
Oh up or down?
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Pointed up, trying to find that that's awful.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
It would be awful.
Speaker 6 (09:17):
Agree angle. Have you guys rode coasters lately?
Speaker 10 (09:21):
No, I'll never do last summer I've done that for
the last I probably don't.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Coaster days are dead me too.
Speaker 6 (09:27):
I love riding coast same, they're so fun.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
You get a high?
Speaker 6 (09:31):
Did Valley Fair last summer? Wild Thing was the best?
Speaker 1 (09:33):
So good?
Speaker 6 (09:34):
So holds up it does it's a sweet coaster. No,
it's so good. I love coasters. Why don't we go
road tripping?
Speaker 1 (09:40):
You and me ride?
Speaker 3 (09:41):
We'll do six flags across America? Yes, have you been
six days before? Yeah, but it's been twenty five years
or something like the one where it's like the dragon
and they don't they don't put something over the top
of you. It's just like a triangle that like locks
down on raging Bowl. Yeah, yeah, raging you I'm talking about. Yeah,
I've been there.
Speaker 6 (09:57):
Coaster of all time? That is maybe my all time favorite.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Question. It's so good, it's unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Your your feet are dangling, but the cart is still
underneath you, so it feels like you're just floating. It's
a it's the most surreal thing ever. It's awesome core.
Speaker 6 (10:16):
Yes, well that's the best gurney right or whatever.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Day of high school.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
It's got the Batman coaster, which is sweeten like you
fall forward.
Speaker 6 (10:26):
They still have Iron Wolf, which was the stand up coaster.
That was sweet core. Let's go, let's go a road
trip in time.
Speaker 13 (10:32):
I would love it.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
It's about time you guys went somewhere.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Cash. You're facing down by the way.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
One reported lightheaded, another one reported numbness in their leg, and.
Speaker 10 (10:45):
The people in front of the report of being covered
in urine because one.
Speaker 9 (10:49):
Of one of them said it was the greatest day
of his life. That was dwighte hot right down, dad, Yeah,
he got urinated on.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
Why would you like that?
Speaker 1 (10:56):
He's into it. He likes a warm rain, just like.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
I guess I get it.
Speaker 6 (11:01):
Tell me it wasn't raging bowl.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
The other one that has the false drop, like when
you hit the peak, they drop you.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
On a little platform just for a second.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
The trick you to think that it's like the big drop,
So it's a little like ten foot platform, so you
get the fake drop and.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Then the real drop. I feel it, and you think
that was it.
Speaker 6 (11:22):
Out of time.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
I'm so glad you know this because not a lot
of people know about this. It's so good.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Six hour drive and it's the best coaster I've ever
been on core.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
Wow, that's incredible.
Speaker 6 (11:30):
Or I could kiss you on the mouth.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
I wish you would, wow if you didn't bring up
the raid.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
I haven't been there since I was like twenty, though,
so I have no idea if it still holds up.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
If it's a little rockier ride than it was back
in the day. Hopefully it's so smooth as ever, you
have no idea. I haven't been there since high school,
So man, clue.
Speaker 10 (11:46):
All right, power trip, road trip you and no, No,
just you and Tommy.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Yeah, this can be wit just all one twin sized bed,
one room.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
Yep, and that's it.
Speaker 10 (11:56):
An automatic car that's treated like a stick shift.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
No, we can stop it. Holiday gets some snacks on
the way.
Speaker 6 (12:03):
That'd be the best time.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
He's shifting with his mouth.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
No, No, it's a good question. The answer the question.
Speaker 10 (12:13):
JMK and LaGuardia and Newark airports are crowded with a
record high number of travelers moving around this holiday season.
The TSA believes today and tomorrow will be the busiest
days for travel. Triple A projects one hundred and twenty
two million Americans gonna go at least fifty miles or
more from home over this thirteen day holiday period, a
record high and more than two percent increase over last year.
Triple A says New York City is the seventh most
(12:33):
popular domestic travel destination. Gonna be interesting getting the Vikings

Marnie just walked in.
Speaker 14 (15:36):
Dusty here on the Power Trip presented by All Around,
your timber Tech deck building contractor.
Speaker 9 (15:43):
Thanks all Around, Thank you your MINNICOA while battle or
excuse me, the Vikings battle the Giants on Sunday at noon,
pregame at ten. Your Vikings are two and a half
point favorites. Christian Daris and Jonavan Hargrave. We're both out
of on Javon excuse me, and have not practiced this week,
so I doubt we will get Christian darisaw or Javon.
Speaker 10 (16:05):
I truly am surprised they haven't just put him on
the shelf same I thought they would this week. I
really like, no, I don't know anything about anything, but
I thought they would.
Speaker 9 (16:11):
And Brian O'Neill and Ryan Kelly were both limited yesterday.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
Do you think Javon Hargrave and Jonathan Allen are both
one and done with the Vikes or do you think
they're going to come back.
Speaker 9 (16:21):
I think one of them has a trickier contract to cut,
and I think that one's Jonathan Allen, So.
Speaker 6 (16:27):
Alan likely to come back hardreg maybe not, I would guess.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Yeah, I wonder why. We'll see. But they got it.
Speaker 9 (16:32):
Yeah, I think they got to get rid of like
fifty six million dollars.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
No they don't. The Caps and myth you can sign
whoever you want to whatever you want. Well, still your
turn now.
Speaker 9 (16:46):
The Week sixteen started with an epic game with the
Seahawks beating the Rams thirty eight to thirty seven and ot.
The Hawks trailed thirty to fourteen with thirteen minutes and
thirty four seconds left in the fourth. They scored two
time touchdowns, got both two point conversions. One of them
was basically a backwards pass that then the guy picked
up in the end zone, an unbelievable play watching on
(17:07):
social media, and then a ot The Rams scored a touchdown,
but then the Hawks scored and went for two puka
in the loss, two hundred and twenty five yards, two
touchdowns and twelve catches. The Seahawks are twelve and three.
The Rams are eleven and four. This is pretty guessable
because I'm bringing it up. Marny Seahawks all.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
Time, Marnee and Chris and Parish and Zackenhawks Seahawks all
time in the fourth quarter trailing by sixteen or more,
and last night they trailed by sixteen right thirty to fourteen.
Before last night in their franchise history, they had been
down one hundred and fifty five times with that scenario
(17:50):
sixteen or more in the fourth quarter. How many wins
in their franchise history had they had out of the
previous one hundred and fifty five times.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Zero.
Speaker 12 (18:03):
That's an impressive comeback. It has to be a small number.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
Two you say two, Parish you said zero, Chris, yeah, one, one,
Zachary yeah, baby.
Speaker 6 (18:19):
It doesn't matter. Parish is right.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Zero.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
They were zero and one fifty five in the fourth
quarter trailing sixteen or more until last night.
Speaker 6 (18:28):
That's their first ever win in that scenario.
Speaker 9 (18:31):
The Rams are the first team in NFL history to
lose with five hundred plus yard zero turnovers and three
plus opponent turnovers.
Speaker 12 (18:43):
I went to bed last night and yeah, congrats, And
then I got up and wasn't it literally until SaaS
just read this update and said the Seahawk. But I
was like, what, yeah, you assumed he was wrong? I
just I was like, wow, what did I miss? Because
(19:04):
I think Sam Darnold had just thrown an interception and
it was just going the wrong way. And I wasn't
really watching watching the game. It was just kind of
on and I'm like, okay, and what an update.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
But you're right.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
If you hear Matt Stafford throws for four hundred and
fifty seven yards, three touchdowns.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
And no interceptions, there's no way they lost. They did.
Speaker 12 (19:25):
You know who would be really happy about the outcome
of that game? Both of my brothers, who both have
a Seattle Seahawks tattoo, and.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
I what they have like Sea Hawks tattoos?
Speaker 1 (19:39):
How did that happen? Are they also from the Dakotas?
Speaker 12 (19:43):
They are from North Dakota as am I. But you
know I've told you about my mom's sisters that I
casino trip with. They are they mar They lit Yep,
margaing Colleen. They live in north of Seattle in Washington
and my parents it's actually lived out there as well.
My older brother was born there before they moved back
(20:04):
and we've lived our.
Speaker 13 (20:06):
Entire lives in North Dakota.
Speaker 12 (20:07):
But my brothers have this affinity because his two aunts,
those old ladies that I could see no gamble.
Speaker 15 (20:14):
With Margie and who main Colleen the color anti Keene.
I'm sorry, colored anti Keene is a yeah, though Colleen
is with the sea when you're.
Speaker 4 (20:26):
It's hard to say.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
He can all your hands out, marg G and Colleen Woodhawk.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
Marg G.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Yeah, well they gamble.
Speaker 5 (20:33):
Hold on and say it the gamble something about a tattoo.
Speaker 12 (20:41):
Yeah, because my brothers went out there maybe, I mean
it's been at least ten years. They went out there
for a game, as they have done before, and they
both came one a game I'm sorry he Seattle Seahawks game,
and they both came home with tattoos, one on the calf,
one on the shoulders.
Speaker 10 (20:59):
Lad thank you, thank you. I'm starting a new book
about Marny. What's it called superfluous?
Speaker 4 (21:12):
Is that a compliment.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
My brothers have?
Speaker 4 (21:16):
Oh well, I'm a Vikings fan.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
Do you have a Vikings tattoo? I don't have any, too,
same we're freaks now, we're like we're the weirdos. It
used to be if you had a tattoo, you're a weirdo. Now,
if you don't have a tattoo, you're a weirdo. M okay, Mars,
thanks Martin Garris, you have a Seahawks tattoo?
Speaker 1 (21:38):
No, I don't.
Speaker 6 (21:40):
You played in Seattle.
Speaker 4 (21:41):
I played in I love.
Speaker 7 (21:44):
Thunderbirds, absolutely underbirds. Yeah, I had a blast out there.
I love Seattle. Lorrain didn't bother me at all. I
can sleep in the rain. I sleep in the snow.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Is that one of those bits, like, just like the seahawks,
But seahawks is not a real thing, right, say, like
a fictional bird. There's no such thing as a seahawk.
Same thing with the thunderbird or not? Is that the
also fictional? Our logo was.
Speaker 13 (22:09):
A green and blue two can stamp.
Speaker 4 (22:12):
Oh, let me see it looked a lot.
Speaker 9 (22:14):
Tougher, but more or less, the internet of this building
is awful.
Speaker 4 (22:19):
Awful.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
It sucks.
Speaker 10 (22:20):
Sunderbird is primarily a powerful mythological giant bird.
Speaker 6 (22:22):
Okay, there you go, fake bird.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (22:25):
By the way, the Seahawks uniforms last night, Marn's pretty cool,
right Yeah? Yeah, Like they were kind of greenish in
a way that I've never seen them before.
Speaker 12 (22:33):
Agreed, And I like when the lower third scoreboard Zacho
matches the uniforms and how it changes every week.
Speaker 6 (22:44):
Yeah, very cool.
Speaker 4 (22:44):
Yeah, the Seahawks have.
Speaker 13 (22:45):
Had good uniforms for a long time.
Speaker 12 (22:47):
When they this year were their throwbacks from the Steve Largin.
Speaker 4 (22:54):
We played against them.
Speaker 12 (22:56):
So cool.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
I didn't love the neon green of that lime green that.
Speaker 12 (22:59):
They went too, but I mean it was distinct, but yeah,
but that throwback was so I didn't.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
Want to any of the game because I was watching
the wild win, right, Zachary, But man off air earlier,
a lot of people in this room lighting up al Michaels.
Speaker 4 (23:17):
Oh no, really curiously for.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
The two departed members of Power to Morning, Joe, Tommy
Olson and John Cass just how the call is?
Speaker 6 (23:27):
You guys are just hammering.
Speaker 9 (23:28):
There was a game winner last week that he didn't
and you've nailed it yesterday, Zach.
Speaker 6 (23:32):
And when you tweeted that Kevin.
Speaker 9 (23:33):
Harlan is on like the Sea team, he should be
the voice of Thursday Night is the third in command
at CBS Sports, and at such a waste because he'll
be doing Kansas City, Tennessee this weekend on just little
literally just a Missouri and Tennessee. Basically, he is a
national voice. He's a national talent.
Speaker 6 (23:52):
He's the best, all the.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
Respects in the world of Al Michaels.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
I love the guy, greatest hockey call or greatest really
one of these sports call.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
But he he just doesn't doesn't have it an what
happened last night? Though? What just a boring call? It
just does.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Yeah, he doesn't sound interested much at all. And again
I would say it's less for me about Alan the
boring nature of his calls now, and it's just more
about the fact that Kevin Harlan is universally loved. He's energetic,
he's funny, he's he would be a great uh fit
with Kirk and the rest of that Prime crew, which
(24:30):
is all about having fun and and and energy. It's
just it's a very weird juxtaposition of Al Michaels versus
the rest of that crew. Kevin Harland be great, but
and he's already on the payroll for Prime. He does
the NBA on Prime. So it's a perfect situation. Make
the call, Amazon, sauce, do you did you stay up
and watch the end of the game.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
I did not.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
You did not, But you've seen it. Yeah, give me
your best impression of what al Michaels did on the
game winning two point conversion in overtime.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Right now.
Speaker 9 (25:00):
Yeah, the Seahawks need this two point conversion for the victory.
Very ballsy to go for this two point conversion, even
though if they don't get it, they will probably lose
the first seat. Isn't that right, Kirk? Yes, you're correct.
Here we go. Donald stands behind the center checking out
them slabs, looks over to his wide receiver, wings at him,
(25:24):
blows him two kisses. I think that's a sign for
the play. Kirk is still with us. Are you sleeping? Okay, Kirk,
Here we go. Donald motions to the center to snap
the ball, also waves to two babes in the stands
with ginormous jugs. Donald takes the snap, drops back, looking
looking right, looking left, looking all over the place. Pass
(25:47):
rush comes in. He ducks under one guy, throws the
ball to a guy who hasn't played all season. The
ladies with the big jugs go wild. Seahawks.
Speaker 6 (25:56):
You're right, al Michaels has lost it.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Yeah, there's a little musburger in there, Yeah, buddy.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
Yeah, it's a little bit of Rosie in there too.
Speaker 9 (26:07):
The Wild beat the Blue Jackets five to Zacho and
Perry for their sixth straight win. Hartman, Terasenko and Ericson
that Calls scored for the Wild. Caprisof and Boldy chipped
in two empty net goals. The Wild are twenty one
nine and five. They battle the Oilers tomorrow at two.
Speaker 10 (26:27):
It's time for the Hockey Minute with Mark Parrish, brought
to you by.
Speaker 4 (26:29):
My friends at Saint Plant State University.
Speaker 7 (26:31):
We are seeing now with the Minnesota Wild some all
the adversity that went through last year with the injuries,
they learned that they can do the next man up,
especially when you're missing your best players most of the
year and you're still continuing to win your playoff team
to prove something to yourself. And right now they have
some serious top end talent with Quinn Hughes coming in.
(26:54):
Obviously the Boldie Ross or the Boldi ec prieze Off
connection is still there, and it's just it's amazing to watch.
I love watching Quinn Hughes and Brock Fraber play in
thirty minutes because you know what coming down the stretch,
coming into the playoffs, there's going to be nights they're
going to have to play that, so I want them
ready for that.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
And hey and you talked.
Speaker 7 (27:13):
We talked about depth on Wednesday, Hartman Johansson. These guys
are the depth players and they're kicking in scoring. So
I don't see much issues right now with us making
a run this.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
Year, Marky Mark, Well, yeah, is this the best wild
team in their twenty five year franchise history?
Speaker 1 (27:31):
It is? Yes? Really wow.
Speaker 7 (27:33):
Well with Quinn, Hughes and Rizov the goalie tandem right now,
Balstaad Augustuson, there's just it's amazing right now. Our decour
is terrifying. It went from a very very good, a
sneaky decour in the league to one of the best
instantly instantly. And I love Baalstad and Gustuson competing for
(27:55):
that job because man, they are making each other better
and better and better.
Speaker 4 (27:59):
Man does that go?
Speaker 1 (28:01):
Yeah? I concur it was. It's it's fascinating.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
I mean, we knew over the summertime that this team
last year was was was good and they could have
certainly gone.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
Further if there wasn't a stupid off side called.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
But they they you know, they got better both you know,
as a cohesive unit, and as you mentioned Parish, I
mean they did learn their lesson. This was a very
tough time a year year ago because of all the injuries,
and there were good excuses to be made.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
But now they've learned from that.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Everybody's pitching and everybody's doing their job, and they put
themselves in a very very good position. The problem, of
course is uh, tough weekend had Oilers, obviously tough with David,
but the headline is.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
Going to be on the.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
Second night of a back to back Colorado Avalanche in
the town. Two losses all the year still and we're
almost at Christmas for Colorado. They've got an unbelievable squad,
but they're they're they're human babing.
Speaker 3 (28:59):
You know, there's you're in Tooiler's schedule and the ABS schedule.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
Who's that go?
Speaker 3 (29:03):
Why they are more afraid of us than we are
of them. I don't know if that's true. I just
wanted to say it all said, we're one team that.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Everyone else uh knows. They got to bring it.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
Bet Yeah, and then I don't think they want to
play us necessarily other at this point because gosh, we're
playing good hockey.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Five goals again, Come on, Quinn.
Speaker 3 (29:26):
Hughes has never lost his number of the middical Yeah.
Speaker 6 (29:31):
Wells and that goes into beast mode.
Speaker 4 (29:35):
That's hockey, I think sure.
Speaker 3 (29:38):
Is Vikey's news in a second William so Walach in
about twenty minutes, initials in like forty five.
Speaker 6 (29:42):
This is the power to a warning show. I'm a fan.
Speaker 4 (29:47):
F Hey, Happy, Happy.
Speaker 10 (30:07):
Christmas, every money, Good morning to you.
Speaker 4 (30:08):
Hope you're feeling good, Happy Christmas?
Speaker 10 (30:10):
Yeah, man, Marco, Merry Christmas to you, brother, thank you.
How you feeling the old parish households it feeling Christmas?
Speaker 7 (30:16):
It's oh, it's been feeling Christmas for a while. He
did a great job getting all the lights up, all
the decorations up, pretty much instantly after Thanksgiving.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
Yeah, it is weird to say Happy Christmas, right, but
it's also weird to say Mary Halloween, Mary fourth July,
Mary Valentine's Day.
Speaker 6 (30:32):
That sounds insane.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
You don't ever use the word Mary except for the
holiday season. Let's start doing that, you know, Mary Saint
Patrick's Day.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
Yeah, that's good.
Speaker 6 (30:43):
Like you don't like the ring of that, Marnie, you're
shaking your hand.
Speaker 10 (30:46):
Yeah, Mary Frost Awareness Month, Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 12 (30:51):
Right, let's Christmas stand out? It does I feel like
the holiday cheers in the era? Guy opened the door
for me. Nope, it was not Zach. It was a
younger man, even like maybe thirty. And he waited for me.
It was a good ten steps behind him, and he
waited and I said not good. I said thank you
(31:12):
very much, and you said you're welcome. Merry Christmas.
Speaker 10 (31:14):
Oh, I was like, did he say I hate to
watch you leave, but I love to watch you go?
Speaker 1 (31:19):
And then he said, have you been using vitamin C?
Speaker 4 (31:21):
Siah?
Speaker 1 (31:22):
Did he try to take did he try to tickle
your sides?
Speaker 3 (31:24):
Whoa, you're shaking the hand of William s Wallach, William
walcome to the show, William Marny.
Speaker 6 (31:30):
Gellner, Marniy Gello or Glener William Swash.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
How you doing?
Speaker 13 (31:33):
Get there? You guys doing?
Speaker 6 (31:34):
Good morning?
Speaker 13 (31:34):
Man?
Speaker 3 (31:35):
So eating prairie zone, Yeah, eating prairie Look at this dude, Nascar?
Speaker 4 (31:40):
What's going on?
Speaker 1 (31:41):
Man?
Speaker 4 (31:41):
I'm so happy you came in. Thanks for getting up early.
Speaker 16 (31:43):
Yeah, no problem. It's great to be here and great
great to be back home. Flew in last night, so
good to experience the chili weather. Well, I can flew
in from where North Carolina? Yeah, because, like you.
Speaker 3 (31:53):
Were saying, Chris, everybody's flying in and out of North Carolina. Obviously,
just terrible news yesterday. We can get your reaction here
in a second. But you're back just for the holidays
and you go back out or what's the plan.
Speaker 16 (32:02):
Yeah, we go back out the twenty first, and then
just spend Christmas there.
Speaker 10 (32:07):
I would guess that testing never ends, right testing.
Speaker 16 (32:11):
Yeah, honestly, this is my time off. We still have
simulator time, ok, twice a week for three hours, and
then actual testing is really limited in Nascars, so it
kind of sucks. They can't be in the car all
the time, which I'd prefer that over the simulator, but
you know, it is what it is.
Speaker 4 (32:30):
It's the nineteenth.
Speaker 13 (32:31):
Yeah, you go back in two days, three days, sorry,
three days.
Speaker 6 (32:35):
He's a mover and shaker with us.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
He doesn't have time.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
You can't drive Nascars stock cars in the snow.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
You gotta get out of here.
Speaker 10 (32:44):
The good part is that he got here from the
airport in three minutes. Yeah, you know, I mean, it's
it's time man.
Speaker 4 (32:50):
Yeah. Is it is it.
Speaker 10 (32:51):
Tough for you to get behind the wheel of a
regular car and not get speeding tickets.
Speaker 16 (32:55):
No, no, I haven't take it. Actually what Wow? Pulled
over twice, but I got out of it and it
was Dad.
Speaker 6 (33:04):
Sauce's dad get you out of it. He's a lawyer.
Speaker 13 (33:06):
Now that was my own doing nice.
Speaker 6 (33:10):
He was probably a gentleman. Chivalry is not dead.
Speaker 3 (33:12):
Being a gentleman, being nice, best officer yep sometimes helps.
Speaker 10 (33:15):
So again, before we get moving too far, sawallis right,
we're saying that correctly. Good Eden Prairie, Minnesota's own a
future NASCAR star, current NASCAR star has raced everything from
the Transam Series to a uh you know obviously Minard's
Arcis Series. You I mean, you've been in every type
of race car. What kind of racing do you prefer?
(33:36):
Your circle track?
Speaker 1 (33:37):
Guy?
Speaker 4 (33:37):
You like the road course stuff?
Speaker 16 (33:39):
Well this year I really like the road courses because
it gives you a lot to do. You know, you
gotta change gears, you manipulate the car a lot different
than the ovals.
Speaker 13 (33:47):
But the ovals are always gonna have my heart.
Speaker 16 (33:49):
That's what I grew up doing in They're the fastest
and highest pace.
Speaker 10 (33:54):
You started at Little el Coo Speedway, which is of
course where you were supposed to go last night there.
Speaker 16 (34:00):
I started at nine, at nine yep, in cars called
quarter midgets, quorter midgets yep.
Speaker 3 (34:05):
So he did somebody in your family did they love racing?
Or were you at nine years old just into cars
and said I want to try this.
Speaker 13 (34:12):
No, it was really on me. And then yeah, you.
Speaker 3 (34:15):
Have no history with racing in your family or almost
none now nothing.
Speaker 13 (34:19):
Was the first one to really watch NASCAR and enjoy it.
Speaker 6 (34:21):
So they took you down there at nine years old
and you're like, I want to give this a shot.
Speaker 13 (34:24):
Yeah, it was a king. It's called try it. You
like it, and I liked it.
Speaker 16 (34:28):
I did that for four years, and then moved the
legend cars and did that for two years when I
was twelve, and then got into a full bodies dot
car at fourteen?
Speaker 1 (34:35):
No kidding?
Speaker 10 (34:36):
Can I get deep in the weeds with him for
a minute, guys? Do you guys mind go for all?
Speaker 1 (34:39):
Right?
Speaker 10 (34:40):
So William I ran a legend at Elko and Raceway
Park for one year and then I ran a NASCAR
Late Model at Elko and Raceway for one year.
Speaker 1 (34:47):
Awesome.
Speaker 4 (34:48):
I was terrible, I really was.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
I was doing rady.
Speaker 10 (34:52):
So when you moved yeah, right when you moved out
of the tqs and to no it's just a ray Yeah,
was it a is that you guys call them up
here TQ mins midgets for you just court them?
Speaker 4 (35:02):
Okay, I got it. I grew up in Indiana. It's
a different world, as you will know.
Speaker 10 (35:07):
So when you moved into that Legends car, into those
tiny little tires, did you back it into the wall
as many times as I did?
Speaker 13 (35:13):
I know I did not.
Speaker 4 (35:14):
Oh my god.
Speaker 16 (35:16):
Maybe maybe you had a few self spins. That was
really about it. But I kept it clean.
Speaker 10 (35:21):
Turn three at Elco, going in as fast as I could. Yep,
those back tires broke loose and I hit that wall
so hard I can still feel it. Just back that
thing in there and that car was done. You never
raced that car again, Yeah, had to get a different one.
Speaker 16 (35:34):
That's actually one of the worst hits you can take
is backing it in because you're anticipating it and you
put your head forward and then you slam back into
the seat.
Speaker 13 (35:41):
That's how I got my first concussion. Was it really yep?
Speaker 4 (35:43):
Yeah? Those cars.
Speaker 10 (35:46):
One of the crazy things about racing to me that
I always find really fascinating is how much more difficult.
It is in some ways at the lower ranks of
the racing. To me, driving the Legend was much harder
than driving the Late Model because of the tires.
Speaker 4 (36:01):
Do you agree?
Speaker 1 (36:02):
Yeah?
Speaker 16 (36:02):
Absolutely, And the power to wait ratio is really huge,
and it's the most difficult car to drive, I think,
and that's why you kind of have to start out
and learning that, and then late Models it gets easier.
You have more grip, a little bit less horsepower to wait,
and but then when you get to NASCAR, they took
away some of our horse power. So we're hoping to
(36:22):
get some of that back to have a little bit
more fun.
Speaker 4 (36:24):
Yeah, you're only going one hundred and ninety yeah, yeah.
Speaker 13 (36:26):
Yeah, Well that's wound up. Yeah right right right, William,
you are nineteen years old?
Speaker 6 (36:31):
Correct?
Speaker 12 (36:31):
Did you graduate high school like Edenbray High School at eighteen?
Speaker 4 (36:35):
Last year?
Speaker 16 (36:36):
So when COVID hit I switched online and then moved
to North Carolina to pursue racing.
Speaker 1 (36:40):
He did.
Speaker 6 (36:40):
Okay, So we did your parents stay here?
Speaker 16 (36:44):
My dad's here, he runs the family company. Yep, Hey
he's over there.
Speaker 12 (36:52):
Are you living in like a village of other young drivers?
Speaker 1 (36:57):
No?
Speaker 13 (36:57):
Actually, everybody lives yea, they all were.
Speaker 9 (37:01):
Yeah, it's one big Yeah.
Speaker 10 (37:04):
The drivers down in North Carol they get they give fires.
Speaker 4 (37:07):
Yeah, it's great.
Speaker 1 (37:08):
It's like a camp.
Speaker 13 (37:09):
Yeah yeah.
Speaker 6 (37:12):
William is the one, the only one that survived.
Speaker 1 (37:15):
So you said it fourteen. What year?
Speaker 6 (37:17):
How old were you when you moved in North Carolina?
Speaker 13 (37:19):
Twenty twenty one? So I guess fifteen.
Speaker 3 (37:21):
Uh kind of hard though, to leave your friends and
like the life that you knew, and just like I'm
going all in at fifteen years old, not twenty years
old like college age.
Speaker 6 (37:28):
We're going fifteen, just going for it.
Speaker 16 (37:30):
I guess it was a little bit weird, but I
didn't really think about it that much, and I came
home a good bit to see them because I had
more time then. But now it's about three times a year.
Speaker 6 (37:39):
Was there was there a plan B though?
Speaker 3 (37:41):
Or not? Was it all just I have to go
all in and if it doesn't work out, then I
have the rest of my life to figure out how
to get back on track. Yeah.
Speaker 16 (37:47):
Basically that if it doesn't work out, you kind of
have to figure it out. Then if you have a
plan B, that means you don't want it bad enough.
Speaker 3 (37:53):
I guess I've heard that actors and musicians say that
a lot, that you have to go in one hundred
percent without one foot out the door, because then you're
not fully committing. You have to be willing to fail,
but you have to go all in.
Speaker 13 (38:05):
Yep, that's.
Speaker 3 (38:08):
I don't know have the balls to do that now,
let alone at fourteen or fifteen years old. I don't
have that kind of gamble in me. I can I
ask you one other questions? This is the dumbest question
you're going to be asked in the next hour.
Speaker 13 (38:17):
That's fine.
Speaker 3 (38:18):
I have this theory, especially with NASCAR, that like you know,
Bryson Deshamba had to be a golfer based on the
name you don't have, you're destined to be a golfer.
Speaker 6 (38:29):
Has anybody in NASCAR asked you to change your name
to Billy?
Speaker 3 (38:32):
Because Billy's Sooalwich sounds like a NASCAR driver, William SWaCH
sounds like a lawyer, right like that, that's a really
distinguished sounding name.
Speaker 6 (38:40):
How do we get you to change it to Billy?
Speaker 4 (38:42):
How many times are you going to asked that question?
Speaker 11 (38:44):
Like can't you see Billy Soalich in the Daytona five hundred?
Speaker 16 (38:54):
Dad's in it sounds sounds like the winner sounds a
little bit more redneck, but that's exactly speeding tickets.
Speaker 1 (39:02):
William gets out of a speeding ticket.
Speaker 10 (39:05):
I'm sorry, did you say this is dad in serios?
We say, yeah, yeah, you know what Starky rules. Thank
you for everything you guys do.
Speaker 1 (39:11):
Man.
Speaker 10 (39:11):
I mean, honestly, we love Starky. You guys are the
best Starky hearing technologies. That's fantastic.
Speaker 1 (39:17):
Place was awesome. We were there just a couple of
months ago.
Speaker 10 (39:19):
Yeah, okay, so back to my uh stupid questions.
Speaker 4 (39:23):
Okay, all right, so then you move up.
Speaker 10 (39:26):
Did you run Alko ESK late models a lot or
did you go straight down to North Carolina run light Moss?
Speaker 3 (39:31):
Now?
Speaker 13 (39:31):
I went straight down to North Carolina.
Speaker 16 (39:32):
And then the next time I raced at Elko was
when the Arkha Manards series went there. Got the first
year I got second, and then the the last year
I went, which was I think it was last year.
Only last year we won that race in a three
wife finish. It was pretty cool to put that show
on for the fans.
Speaker 10 (39:49):
Do you find that it's much more difficult to run
the lower rungs of racing because the drivers are less.
Speaker 16 (39:59):
Predictable sometimes, yes, but the fields aren't as dense in
the competition. But I'm going to be running some late
model races this year more than I did last year,
and those are just really fun races to just keep
going and stay active because we don't have testing all
the time in the actual car.
Speaker 3 (40:17):
Back to going all in when you're fourteen or fifteen, right,
that means you have to on some level have a
little bit of fearlessness to you And now the fact
that you're a professional driver, how much fear is involved
on any given race? Do you have any fear or
is that a huge problem to even have that seep
into your brain at all?
Speaker 16 (40:35):
It's definitely an issue if it's all the time, maybe
like your first time at Daytona, you know, you don't
know what to expect, so you get some butterflies, but
you kind of have to feel in control and know
what you're doing and feel like you know what you're doing,
and then it all just kind of come together and
you'll get really comfortable. Once you're comfortable is when you
start pushing the car harder and you get faster.
Speaker 10 (40:58):
Well, yeah, I've told this story on the air and
I will said, do you remember the name Kevin Siwinski.
Have you ever met Kevin?
Speaker 13 (41:07):
I don't know if I've ever met him Bill.
Speaker 10 (41:09):
Yeah, So he was technically my teammate. I was way
above my pay grade. I was racing for Country Joe
Racing just because I had a sponsor. That was kind
of how it was. Right, And I'm early in the
racing season driving the late Model.
Speaker 4 (41:22):
I had this very fast car.
Speaker 10 (41:23):
The car that I was driving had won the championship
at Alcoe the year before, right, but I wasn't going
fast enough in it. I was qualifying like midfield and
a car that should have been on the pole. So
Kevin takes me out one day to practice and he says,
follow me around the racetrack. Don't break until I break.
Get on my tail. I don't care if you hit me.
Stay on my tail, but don't get off the gas
and hit the brake until you till I do. I said, okay,
(41:45):
I mean this, William. I could not physically keep my
foot off the break because every time we went into
the corner, I was thinking I'm going to die. There's
no because you get there's a certain point where the
car sets and you can feel your butt cheeks kind
of the right rear tire set in the corner and
you know you're set.
Speaker 4 (42:03):
You're okay.
Speaker 10 (42:04):
I could never get the car to that spot. I
was too afraid. That's when I knew I couldn't be
a race car driver.
Speaker 16 (42:09):
Yeah, it's tough. You really have to have that feel
in your butt. Like you're saying, it's true.
Speaker 4 (42:13):
I know it sounds weird, but it's true.
Speaker 13 (42:15):
It is.
Speaker 16 (42:16):
It is weird, a lot of people probably want to
understand it. But to go that extra mile, you kind
of have to do stuff you're not willing to do
and be uncomfortable. And whenever I take somebody in my
simulator at home we use I racing, they always think
as soon as they get off the frottle they just
slam on the brakes, and then they don't.
Speaker 13 (42:35):
They're not even at the corner and they're stopping.
Speaker 4 (42:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 16 (42:37):
So, but it's completely different what people think, and you
have to be really smooth.
Speaker 13 (42:40):
I'm a thoddle on the break.
Speaker 16 (42:41):
We really don't use much brake on tracks that are
bigger than half a mile.
Speaker 3 (42:46):
Well, oh, heavy note, But in your young career, have
you ever crossed paths with Greg Biffel.
Speaker 16 (42:53):
I have a few times. So the first time I
met him was when I was a race fan. I
went to Texas in fifteen, and you know, when you're
a kid, you meet the drivers and they come out
of their hollers and they sign your stuff and then
go back in. But I remember he was a really
genuine guy and just really nice and a lot of
the drivers are you know, signing stuff.
Speaker 13 (43:13):
Go, But he talked for a little bit.
Speaker 16 (43:15):
And then the last time I met him, I think
was two years ago at a late model race at
Tri County in North Carolina when he was doing all
the help for the hurricane victims in North Carolina. They
had him be the Grand Marshall and so we got
to meet him briefly before the race.
Speaker 4 (43:33):
Wow.
Speaker 6 (43:34):
Terrible yep, super tragic.
Speaker 10 (43:36):
Yes, a lot of traveling man, that's always there's a
lot going on. All right, Yeah, we should break and
come back and continue to meet our guests.
Speaker 1 (43:44):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (43:44):
Well we'll do fan Fible play initials in like twenty minutes.
Speaker 6 (43:47):
Are you familiar with the game, correct?
Speaker 13 (43:49):
I am.
Speaker 16 (43:49):
I'm excited to get to get one right.
Speaker 3 (43:52):
Yeah, all right, goals to be all right exactly, So
go for the win. I thought you were supposed to
be fearless, but I got it, and we're going. We're
going with William correct Yes, damn ty brandom, uh fan
five in a second more with William Sawalla to the
rest of the Power Drip Morning Show. After this on
