Very funny show and a great idea because it's set in the world of NASCAR, and it really, which is Ah, hugely popular part of America, you know, an Americana.

And so it seems to me like it was a good decision to set it there.

And your character, it feels like this gives you an impression to kind of try different things.

You know what I mean?

Like you've been.

You've been working a couple of impressions in there every now and then.

Oh, yeah, this is I'm not great at impressions, but one of my co workers did A s.

So I had to pull out in the De Niro impression right away.

Because just just the face.

Yeah, it was just one of those.

I'm not.

It's not good.

No.

Yeah.

I'm not good at impressions.

I don't have.

Do you have impressions?

I don't do.

I mean, I do cartoony impressions over the years of certain people.

Like for years.

I would do Schwarzenegger years and years ago.

And then I realized it's basically a dictator ranting on, did it.

Sounds like he has sausage in his mouth, but you do any of your friends?

Because I know you and Ray Romano were tight And everybody who, Ray.

Hey, uh, come on.

You know, that was always that one.

Then everybody started doing race, so I went away from that.

I had a little bit of a rocky for a while.

Rocky Balboa, the Rocky Balboa, which everybody had just hit my own.

Uh, it was all that stuff.

But what I like is I have a Mickey.

Yeah, Mickey Trainer.

No, Everyone does.

Rocky, no one does make it.

Let me try to do a Mickey, Okay?

You find bombs into your you must ban that.

You're fighting your correval e.

You have to.

Yeah.

Between him and Stallone, you you need subtitles to know what's going on.

That's that's very good.

That's very good.

The thing I don't I don't do a Ray Romano impression.

But the thing I've noticed about him is that for a guy who's had so much success in his life, it hasn't changed him at all.

And he's just And he's always just kind of, uh on and I don't know.

And every time I see him, I'm like, Chris, Good to see you.

is.

So it's a sunny day.

I could rain soon.

Uh, like I don't know.

Yeah, Yeah.

Personified.

Yeah.

He's amazing.

Amazing.

You can't.

You can't.

You won't get to talk very much into a conversation.

You'll get deep into it without him bringing up a skin tag or just something bad in his life that's gone awry.

You're like, all right.

Things are good, right?

You're doing all right.

Yeah, but come on.

You know, it's like, uh, how many years could I have left?

Uh, eso you play in the crew, You're the crew chief of this NASCAR racing team.

So And And what's again?

What's nice is it's a good ensemble piece, because it's it works into the show very nicely that there's a bunch of people you have to work with.

And so you get these great characters involved, and I would imagine also you get you get to have some real NASCAR personalities come in without a doubt.

Yeah, we've had Ryan Blaney and Cole Custer and these guys are great.

They're great actors.

To which which annoyed me honestly, they were very funny when they came on the set.

That's the one of the benefits of being having NASCAR behind you.

You know you're not doing smash occur.

You know where you're kind of making up this world.

They give you everything, they give you cars, and we've had the drivers and and all that.

But the key to it is, man is the cast of this one for me because, I mean, I've done domestic comedies before, and this is a workplace comedy, which is different for me, but the ball man U condition the ball to them, and they're just fantastic.

They're just so great.

They're young, good, funny.

They really pissed me off in a way because they are so good.

Like I thought I'd be the old guy, kind of given the tips of a sitcom, how a sitcom works and all that stuff they're really they're much better than I ever was.

So it za pleasure to share that.

I could relate to that.

I get really irritated when really good looking athletes are also very funny.

Yeah, and I'm like Blake Griffin, you don't need this.

You know, this is your so good in one area of your life, and then you do this, and I'm like, Oh, Oh, you're really quick and funny.

This is all I ever had.

Ah, little bit of And you know what I mean?

I can't dabble in what you're doing.

It's irritating.

Well, we have a clip here.

We have a clip here from the crew and anything we need to do to set this up.

I don't I'm not sure we need anything for it.

No, I don't think not during Cove it if we don't do setups during co vid?

No, they were taken away.

That's the thing I want.

When Covitz over and we all get vaccinated.

I want my setups.

I want set ups to come back.

Alright, let's take a look at this clip from the crew.

All right, Here you go.

And our waitress apologizes.

Ryan Blaney, grab your wings up car before she picks them up.

Son of a bitch!

Ryan Blaming what?

Pick me off?

I think so.

That's a weird way to lick your fingers.

I don't know.

Hey, what are you doing?

We figured you had enough wings.

You just shut down.

No, we mean like in life.

Oh, hey, I said I didn't see you there.

Well, you hop up on blaming shoulders and coming is one person.

I'm 58 That's average height if you're standing your helmet yard.

That helmet won the Daytona 500.

I just wanna have one meal without you bringing that up, man.

So they Yeah, and they have a sense of humor about themselves to really good on day.

One quick question you had.

I heard an audience laughing, so that was probably shot just pre Covic.

Are you able to shoot now?

And And how do you How do you work it out?

We shot seven episodes with a live audience, which was fire.

It was great.

And then we had three.

We were able to come back and finish the three without an audience.

So that was brutal because of the energy.

You don't you know, you you got to keep it up and you don't realize how much you fall off without that live audience.

Look, Kevin, you're talking to a guy who built his career on pity laughs, and so I need them very badly.
