All right, everybody, welcome back to another edition of the untitled jeff gluck podcast i'm your host

jeff luck and today i'm very happy to be joined by rutledge wood of nbc sports on the social spotlight

and rutledge is someone who i've been hoping to get on the social spotlight

all year long because he has a very positive attitude about life and is in general one of the

most genuine human beings I've ever met, incredibly friendly and warm toward people as we

discussed in this podcast. And that's something that I think a lot more of us could use these days, myself included,

is how to be more positive on social media and find some of the good in people there.

So with all that's going on in the world, this is a timely moment to speak with Rutledge

and I hope you'll enjoy the conversation that we had in my rental car at New

Hampshire Motor Speedway.

All right everybody, I'm here with Rutledge Wood.

We are in my rental car at New Hampshire Motor Speedway because it's the quietest place.

However, we've been talking for a while before we started this because Rutledge is just awesome.

Rutledge, how are you?

Hey, buddy. I'm great.

How you doing?

I'm doing great.

You always make me smile.

I got to say that when I see you, I'm going in for the hug because one time I think a couple

years ago maybe I saw you and I didn't go in for the hug and you seemed like, man, like,

where's the hug? So now I'm just like, dude, you know what?

You'll go in for the hug.
