Don't usually need a trigger warning on these, but the first 10ish minutes is a conversation about how big a body of water would have to be for you to get in it if there was a dead body in it. No, we don't know why we talked about that either. After that, we talk about NASCAR changing up its controversial Playoff format, James' IMSA prep for Daytona, Josef's commercial, and more.

Clayton Anderson took some time off from his absurdly busy schedule around the IU Championship game in Miami to come on and chat with Hinch and Rossi, going into what this win means for IU, and what his journey through the music industry has been like. Also, he has a bar downtown, couldn't figure out how to bring that up organically in the show notes, but go check it out. And, if you want to know more about Clayton, check out his website!

James definitively says he hates Sour Patch Kids, and there's no way he can deny or walk that back at all. Go criticize him for it on Social Media. Plus, the 2026 racing season is kicking off with the Chili Bowl and the Roar Before the 24, we have a pretty great concert lineup, and more.

Hinch and Rossi (and definitely not Thim) got invited to watch IU whoop some butt in the Peach Bowl, and they take us through the day. Plus, Hinch reveals we may have a high-profile listener. If you're reading this, Mark, come on the show!

Pato slides in DMs, and Thim doesn't check the Off Track ones, which almost led to the guys missing the chance to cheer on IU in person this weekend. Plus, Alex is training for the season opener and Hinch agrees to bike 100 miles if Ross gets over his hatred of running and does a half marathon with Hinch.

James can't grasp his head around the concept of Christmas Eve Eve, plus the guys talk about traditions, plans for the holidays, IndyCar's new officiating system, and more. Like everyone else, we're mourning the passing of the Biffle Family and the others in the tragic accident last week.
