(Season 4 The Haunted House) Andy:"Oh he probably just stepped in a closet or somethin'." Barney:"Where you been!?" Gomer:"I must've stepped in a closet or somethin'." Andy:"See." Gomer:"It sure was a funny closet. I never would've found my way out again, if you hadn't gave me that push." Barney:"I didn't push you." Gomer:"Well, somebody or somethin' did."

Rescue From Gilligan's Island(1978) Skipper:"What seems to be the problem, Professor?" Professor:"Well, it's not fitting for some reason." Gilligan:"I bet I can make it fit! Give me a boost Skipper!" Skipper:"Certainly Little Buddy! Just put your foot in my hand and-"(Pushes Gilligan up so he can make the pole fit that's been giving Skipper and Professor all the problems.) Gilligan:"Whoa!"(Crashes thru hut roof.)"I think you got me a little to high Skipper!" Skipper:"Gilligan! You come down from there this minute!"

(Season 4 The Haunted House) Barney Fife:"Gomer!? Gomer!? Gome!? Andy! Andy! Gomer's gone! He was here one minute an' gone the next! Now do you believe me about this place!? Somethin' terrible happened to Gomer!"

Uncle Jesse's moonshine is high in OCTANE.

Here's one out of left field.... Michael McDowell is leaving Front Row Motorsports for Spire Motorsports, will drive the #71 Chevy in 2025 https://www.jayski.com/2024/05/08/michael-mcdowell-leaving-front-row-motorsports-at-seasons-end/ Also rumor is Stewart Haas Racing could be merging with another team or possibly shutting down at the end of the season. This could have something to do with FRM letting Michael go as they are rumored to be interested in SHR's charters so they might merge and become a 3 or 4 car team. Haas has more interest in F1 at the moment and Stewart is quite busy drag racing in NHRA.

Man

That would be helpful.

All the live F1 races are available through the same provider over here, so at least you only need one subscription.

Yeah I am not a fan of how they are airing NASCAR. Then again, I don't really sit down and watch it any more. I keep saying I should. But once it's off Fox, I really can't. I do subscribe to Amazon Prime, so I can actually watch that. So that part benefits me. Not TNT though.

Yep that's a great day for Motorsports fans, Monaco Grand Prix in the morning, Indy 500 at noon and World 600 at night.

Sounds like a good day. I still look forward to the Monaco Grand Prix (May 26th this year, BTW) even though it's rarely a very exciting race these days. It must be the historic setting.

The North American continent F1 races are on ABC for free, the rest are on ESPN except for Monaco which is live on ESPN in the morning then rebroadcast on ABC after the Indy 500 and before the World 600.

That's interesting. F1 has been owned/run by American company Liberty Media for a few years now and they've been actively trying to increase its popularity in the US. They briefly tried a couple NASCAR-like gimmicks (such as crank up the volume while we listen to the engines), but they quickly realized that F1 viewers didn't want that. Also, there are now three races in the US as well as a race each in Canada and Mexico, so more people can now get to see it. What are your viewing options for F1 in the US? Is it all subscription based? There are a couple of pay options over here, but I either wait for the free highlights show (so long as it's on at a reasonable hour) or catch up on F1's YouTube channel. The British Grand Prix is a protected event that has to be shown live for free.

Advisory

That kind of sucks about the streaming races next year. I'm not paying $120 or 130 a year for Prime and the ones on TNT will also be available on Max but you have to be a subscriber to the sports package on top of the Max subscription so that's going to be a no for me too. If Nascar thinks the tv ratings for races this year that have been on FS1 are off wait till next year. I do hope Dale jr's on track interviews will be posted to YouTube though, that will be an interesting tidbit. F1 actually beat NASCAR for the first time in USA viewership. Sundays Miami race averaged 3.1 million viewers with a peak of 3.6 million for the finish. The Kansas race only had 2.3 million viewers.

(Season 1 Limo One is Missing) Rosco and Enos almost collide into each other's car. Rosco:"You dumb dipstick! What're you tryin' to do?! Give me bodily injury!? Alright, where is she!? Did you let 'er go!?" Enos:"I didn't mean to Sheriff. I don't know where she went." Rosco:"Hush! Hush! Don't talk back to me while I'm yellin' at you!"

I'm sorry to disappoint Spike. I was going to report about Kyle Larson winning, but got talking to Hoss and didn't want to switch the topic. Thank you for covering my rear with all the news! Analysis: So far, 2024 shaping up to be an all-time NASCAR season I don't know if you posted this or not, but Dale Jr will be with TNT and Amazon next season.

Surprised Garrett didn't mention this already but Kyle Larson won by the closest margin ever in a cup race Sunday night. Now onto the Silly Season rumors.... Stewart Haas Racing is most likely going to shrink to a 3 car team and sell one of its charters. It sent out a memo to interested teams of what it wants $$$$ wise https://www.jayski.com/2024/05/07/will-stewart-haas-racing-downsize-next-year/ Interested buyers include 23XI racing, Front Row Motorsports, Legacy Motorclub and Trackhouse Racing. Speaking of Charters, NASCAR and teams still have not come to an agreement yet https://www.jayski.com/2024/05/06/the-latest-on-nascar-charter-negotiations/ NASCAR has also said it wants a charter owned by the France family however that might change due to heavy pushback from owners and drivers. NASCAR might be forced to dump the V8 by 2026 or beyond if manufacturers have their way. Certain manufacturers want to run hybrid engines that they already use in the vehicles they build. https://www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/Articles/2024/05/06/motorsports?publicationSource=sbj&issue=3bb600ea0db04fa1bc247cbf890b7096 If that happens I will not be watching, I enjoy hearing the loud V8's. With that rumor apparently Honda and Hyundai are in talks with joining NASCAR if they move to hybrid powertrains. V8 Supercars driver Will Brown has been in talks with RCR to drive the 33 for Sonoma https://www.jayski.com/2024/05/05/supercars-driver-will-brown-reportedly-making-cup-debut-with-richard-childress-racing-at-sonoma/

He came to F1 really young, and I could see how talented he was, but his first world title should've gone to Lewis Hamilton if the officials had followed the rules correctly. Since then he's made a few questionable moves on the track. So, while I can acknowledge his skill as a driver, I'm not a fan.

and NEVER gives him a raise
