| 0:00.0 | Hello, everyone. |
| 0:11.0 | Welcome back to Subpar with Colt Nost and Drew Stolts. |
| 0:14.0 | And before we get going here, one of our longtime sponsors, partners, Zone Nicotine. |
| 0:19.0 | Through them, we were able to meet an incredible man in Kyle Bush, who lost his life |
| 0:24.6 | this past week at just 41 years of age. |
| 0:27.1 | And we just want to send our thoughts and prayers to the Bush family, everyone around Kyle. |
| 0:31.9 | It was a tragic moment. |
| 0:33.4 | Like I said, we got to spend some time around him with our friends over his zone, going |
| 0:37.4 | out in the sand dunes outside of Las Vegas, riding around in those crazy Polaris vehicles, letting him scare the absolute shit out of us was one of the highlights of us on this podcast. In my opinion, the video was fantastic. He was with us at the Rider Cup. |
| 0:51.6 | Such a great dude. I mean, nicknamed Rowdy, and he lived up to the reputation, man. |
| 0:56.5 | He was a NASCAR legend, but more importantly, just a great dude and thoughts and prayers |
| 1:00.5 | to him and his family. |
| 1:02.2 | I thought a really cool move slees by NASCAR, who announced after his passing that his |
| 1:07.3 | number eight is going to be retired until his son, Brexton, who's 11 years old, |
| 1:11.7 | and already has 150 wins racing until he is, the time is for him to move to NASCAR. |
| 1:18.0 | He will be the only one that can represent that number, but just a tragic day, man. |
| 1:22.4 | I know we were all shocked when it happened, but I thought a real classy move there by |
| 1:25.7 | NASCAR doing that. |
| 1:27.2 | Yeah, I mean, that news, I mean, came out of left field. I just started getting texts about it. I had no idea that that was even a possibility. I think it took us by storm, of course, given our relationship with him, the racing world, by storm and everybody. You can see it in a sports center, different sports, all honoring Kyle Bush, man. He's |
| 1:44.9 | been the short time that we got to be friends with him, man. He couldn't have been better to us. It was always super friendly, super fun. Like you mentioned, the sand dunes, that was awesome. Got me to throw up out there. Actually, that's how good he is at his job. You know, Ryder Cup, all of it was was as nice as they come. Nice, his family as well. Just a tragic moment. But lucky that we got to know him. He was a good one. So R. I'll never forget us jumping out of the car. And him, he was so excited and proud of himself that you were puking. Ran up with his phone on video as it's like coming out of my nose and my eyeballs and everything. And he's like laughing. I was like, yeah, yeah, it was just a matter of time. I got so close to the finish line, but could keep it up. But man, yeah, he will be missed. He will be missed. That's a tough one. R.P. Kyle, man. We're thinking about the Bush family. All right, let's get going here on subpar sleeves. |
| 2:37.2 | What a week. be missed. That's a tough one. RIP call, man. We're thinking about the Bush family. |
| 2:35.4 | All right. |
