All right. Somebody sent me this. Fifth fatality at the Isle of Man TT race.
I actually, when this came in, I usually just read them, like, as I'm talking
to you guys,
but that I had to look up. Now, the Isle of Man race is on the Isle of Man,
which is, I believe, I was going to go to this thing. I had everything lined up.
I was trying
to line up a gig. I was going with my buddy of mine. I was going to go to this
fucking thing
before all this COVID shit happened, and it's the most insane motorcycle race
out there.
They've had more deaths than years that they've had it, and these people just
drive a million miles
an hour through these little farm towns. I don't know how they do it, but they've
had five fatalities
this year alone. He says, hey, Bill, really don't mean to spam you. Maybe you
follow this news yourself,
but two more fatalities today. I'm just morbidly curious about the TT race. I'm
not that into motor
racing, but I've threatened to go to it for years with my brother, who is a big
petrol head.
You might be interested in the story of the Dunlop family from Northern Ireland.
Maybe you know them.
Know of them, I think is what you're trying to say. Dunlop, like the tires and
all of that stuff.
Big name in racing. The gist is the most successful Isle of Man TT rider ever
was Joey Dunlop. Oh,
okay. With 26 victories over the years. Jesus Christ. He was killed in a bike
road race in Estonia
in 2000. Um, his brother, Robert Dunlop had five TT victories. All right. Okay.
I'm, I'm going to go out
on a limb here and say the Dunlop family from Ireland is some of the toughest
people God ever created
here. His brother, Robert Dunlop had five TT victories. So, but in that family,
they had a total
of 31 victories. He was killed in a road race in Northern Ireland in 2008, the
Northwest 200. Robert
had two sons, William and Michael, and they featured in the documentary road.
Oh, they are featured in
the documentary road. Well, I'm watching that, which is worth checking out. Uh,
William was killed in a
bike road race just outside Dublin in 2018. My God, Jesus Christ. This is like
a reverse Pixar movie.
Uh, his brother, Michael, who has lost his uncle, father and brother still
races bikes and won two
events in the Isle of Man TT this year. He is now third on the list of most
wins. The mentality of
some of these riders is fascinating. All the best. I mean, it's got to be the
most interesting interview
ever. All right. Isle of Man, Roger Brad, Roger and Bradley stalked and die in
a sidecar crash.
So this was a father and son have been killed in a car, uh, uh, in a crash
during the racing of the
Isle of Man TT organizers have confirmed the pair from crew. I hope I said that
right. C-R-E-W-E
both died as a result of the incident at Ago's leap. Oh boy. During the second
lap of the second
sidecar race on Friday, passenger Bradley 21 was a newcomer to the event while
his father, Roger 56,
last competed at the TT in 2017. Five riders have now died at the event this
year. Holy shit.
Um, I gotta be honest, like the Isle of Man is the closest thing to what racing
was, you know,
back in the day in like the fifties and sixties where people like you got in
the car and you were
seriously risked like just a car. You were seriously risking death. I I've
recommended this book a number
of times. There's a book out there called the limit. And it's about the, uh,
the first F1 champion that was
American born. And, um, aside from an amazing accomplishment is just the amount
of death
that there was back then. And, uh, I know I've talked about this before in the
podcast, but forget
about on the track into the crowd, like the, the safety in the cars wasn't
there. And it certainly
wasn't there for the crowd. And these fucking guys would hit each other and
their cars would just go
flying into the crowd and they'd kill like fucking, I don't know, five, 15
fucking people. It was insane.
Um, and it's really amazing. Like the, uh, level of safety that they've, uh,
been able to achieve
over the years because of, you know, they always learn through people fucking
dying. Same thing with
aviation. So it becomes super safe because people give up their lives there. Um,
is there a place to,
there's gotta be a place to watch that live, um, that race every year? Uh, it's,
it is fucking,
that is no joke. That's you're putting on your big boy pants there. So rest in
peace to all five of
those riders, all everybody over there. Um, I don't know how they get the,
their balls into the
fucking riding leathers. Um, those are some throwback, throwback people. Um,
much respect.
Uh, there's gonna be some gun nut. Oh, how come you're not saying bad
motorcycles?
