Welcome to Zach to the Future. I'm your co-host, Dashel Driscoll, joined today by Bayside's auto enthusiast. Mark Paul, Mark Paul. Hello, Dashel. You know, I'm not even going to do the pleasantries this time. I'm going to blow right past him. We've got a guest. We've got a big old episode. Let's just get into it. How does that sound, Mark Paul? This is a great episode. I'm so excited, see what I did there.

I did.

For my next, for our guest. Our guest. Thank you. It's our house, yes. Yes, I'm learning. I'm learning that this isn't just my show, my podcast, my life. I think it is, though. But yeah, that's okay, sure, it is kind of, but all right. It's really not. I mean, honestly, like, I, the amount of work that goes into this podcast every single week, if I didn't have you, I don't know what I do. I wish people could see what was going on before we even, like, we were just, we are like tech, it is, there's our guests in the background laughing. Yeah. Because he actually saw, he, you know, he peeked behind the curtain and he saw the,

the tech issues that we have every week and, and every single week. That's sort of the, that's life. The charm behind this show. The guest we keep talking about who's real and a human who exists, Rutledge Wood, Rutledge, welcome. We are, we are happy to have you with us. And may I give you a brief intro? As soon as people hear your voice, make sure you're real.

Oh, yeah. Of course. Yeah. Hey, thanks for having me. There he is. Wow. If you're not familiar with Rutledge Woods, I keep saying host is right in front of the tree. Not a forest, Ash. Oh, come on. I know. If you're not familiar with Rutledge, Wood.

He's one of the hosts of American Top Gear, former host of NASCAR Trackside, Netflix's The Floors Lava and the American Barbecue Showdown. Routledge, I feel like I could go on and on. I think that's why I was stumbling. You have a lot of host credits. It's silly. Southern and Hungry on Cooking Channel, Hyperdrive on Netflix. Let's talk about the stuff you cannot find

on Wikipedia, your fandom of Save by the Bell, which is why you're here. It's huge. I just want

you know, the first time that I met Mark Paul, I think we were at the Toyota Pro Celebrity Race

in Long Beach. And like so many other people, when they meet someone that they've watched for so many years,

I had that thing where you immediately are starstruck.

And in a second second, you're like, be cool, man.

He's just a normal guy.

He loves cars.

And I can't believe I get to do this with you guys.

To be friends with Mark Paul and to see this podcast happen to see Dashel that you're doing it

after Zach Moritz's trash.

It just is so full circle and amazing to be on here with you.

So fellas, thanks.

What a treat. Thank you for joining us.

Hey, and Dashel, I know the next question is, if I did my homework, but not only did I do my

homework, but Redledge has done his homework as well. When I called, do some people say, I call you

would, but, you know, dash will seem to call you woods um
