You could hear the restraint in both of them whenever the stories came around to Theresa. Like if they spoke their true feelings there would be hell to pay.Enjoyed the Kelly Earnhardt episode. Good interaction between Jr. and Kelly and interesting stories of their early years.
Just posted on Junior's FB page --

Excited to have Hailie Deegan on the podcast next week.
That's what sets her apart from Decker and DanicaOnly got to hear 20 minutes of her interview so far but...WOW. She has a racer mindset, knows more about cars than you may think, and is crazy competitive. It really comes across. The rest will be interesting.

Could not believe the Jeff Gordon hate between Sr and rusty
They will surely do another show and tell the rest of the story. Dale Jr is really having good guests lately.Dale Jarrett was the guest today. He spoke in depth about his start in racing.
Quite an interesting story.
Really enjoyed the Chase Elliott episode. Fun conversation between he and dale jr.
Convo about the fight with Teresa was hilariousThis week --- Grandmother Earnhardt. This ought to be a good one.
I listen to the podcast first it fills in the gaps.Never realized how condensed the TV version is until today. They cut out some pretty decent chunks from the Chase interview in order to fit that hour window.
They really did chop it up, and even change the order of some comments. I mean, I understand why NBC left out the intro portion about funny moments at track or in NASCAR where they discussed Tim Richmond taking out his "member" in the Winston driver poster or DW farting in the tv booth, but it was hilarious. It was also fun to hear Chase getting a little feisty with Dale's mocking of living in Dawsonville. There were a couple times that you could tell that Chase wanted to give an honest answer, but had to think about what he was allowed to say per sponsors or NASCAR. (the favorite restaurant question, the question about Driver's Council)Never realized how condensed the TV version is until today.

I was honestly shocked to hear how OK he is with the current state of the cars and rules and such. He's an easy going guy, so the "let's just race" part didn't surprise me, but I'm not so sure he doesn't truthfully miss the high HP motors.They really did chop it up, and even change the order of some comments.

That did surprise me. I think he doesn't like it (talked bout how you get stuck behind someone that you're far better than but can't pass), but is more annoyed with NASCAR changing rules constantly or feigning interest in driver feedback. Like he said, "someone just make the rules and stick to it."I was honestly shocked to hear how OK he is with the current state of the cars and rules and such.

Well, Jr is here to address the commentary given during the broadcasts:
Needs bass BOOST!Need more bass.
No comment.
While I appreciate Dale Jr, addressing the topic honestly, I do have one disagreement. I listened to Barney Hall call races for YEARS without EVER hearing him get wound up like a teenage girl at Taylor Swift concert. It's alright to have SOME excitement, but for God sakes keep it under control.
they sound like their foot slipped off the pedal of their bicycles and we know what happened to the boys. Close to the sounds of a cat fight when they are in full song.Needs bass BOOST!
I personally like Jr and honestly he's the only guy with some type of sensibility in the booth. Burton and Letarte are by far worse with the screeching and I understand where he's coming from. He's had some moments where he is a bit off the wall, but not as bad as many make it out to be IMO.
Its a fine line because its either being excited, which I enjoy their passion. Or do we want another Vince Welch sounding horribly monotone even with some sort of excitement. I occasionally complain about the broadcast, but I think WE ALL complain way too much about the broadcasts. That's just me though, we should all be experts at volume control and get paid more than the guys controlling the audio.
Also, with the radio styled broadcats, they have to turn up the mics some to hear commentary over the engines.
Idk, but I think the commentary this year has improved slightly.People have a problem with NBC this year? Their coverage is excellent.
