  • It’s the weed and Taco Bell

    These injuries today is caused by not practicing in pads and no starters playing preseason. They are not building up the body like they used to. Plus they eat Taco Bell, get high and play on the ps5. They are too soft today.

  • Nose hairs and strays

    Longtime Earnhardt fan and longtime listener, huge fan of dirtyMo and I really enjoy listening to Dale and the guys talk racing. Highlight of my work day. The knowledge and opinions are my favorite. But what’s up with not saying the NASCAR 26 codes out loud! I need that PlayStation code! Also let’s go Larson! He won the championship last year without winning.. let’s go momentum! Keep doing what y’all are doing, Hope to meet y’all someday!
