In the beginning of 2022, Hermie and Bill were embroiled in (what has turned out to be a totally successful) lawsuit against Governor Northam and Attorney General Mark Herring in a fight for small businesses over government overreach– so what did these two knuckleheads decide to do? Well first, they started a race team (Sadler/Stanley Racing) in order to highlight short track racing in rural areas and the importance of small businesses in those areas; and then, they started this podcast in order to document their legal fight against the government — to talk about short track racing and current NASCAR® news — to explore state and national politics that matter to us all on an honest and open platform — and even to discuss their mutual passion for professional wrasslin’! I mean, where else can you get all of that content wrapped up in one show? Here, that’s where!
The boys announce that because of the incredible success of the show, they have been signed for another year, and discuss all the big topics and celebrity guests in the world of politics, wrasslin’ and racing that they are going to have on the podcast in 2023. Listen as they discuss today’s political climate, the process of candidate nomination in Virginia, and they even discuss what appears to be the casinos’ recent “charm offensive” in the media heading into the GA session. And, perhaps most shockingly, Hermie and Bill reveal what may be a new strategy of the Virginia Lottery to screw small business convenience store owners if they have legitimate skill games in their stores. Sadler and Stanley finish up the first segment of the podcast by talking about how Christmas weekend went for their families, a look back on the year that is ending and the one that is to begin, and even discuss their personal New Year’s resolutions to start 2023 on the good foot! And then, Hermie Sadler picks his favorite racing interview of the podcast this year, and we play it for you — NASCAR® LEGEND KYLE PETTY!!!
