Podcast appearances and mentions of Rutledge Wood

Industry veteran Wendy Venturini joins Davey Segal this week (7:40) to discuss her vast career in and out of motorsports spanning almost a quarter of a century. She explains the misconception with her last name and ARCA Menards Series powerhouse Venturini Motorsports, growing up in a racing family, pursuing motorsports as a career avenue and starting at the bottom in production before working her way up to on air broadcasting. Venturini also shares the story of how the opportunity at SPEED came about while working at NASCAR Productions, the experience of working on NASCAR RaceDay with Rutledge Wood, Kenny Wallace, Jimmy Spencer, John Roberts and more, the differences and nuances between television and radio and what makes each discipline unique. She also reflects on her near fatal accident in 2018 at Sonoma, where she suffered a basilar skull fracture after being struck by a car, the road to recovery that followed (figuratively and literally) and those that helped her along the way to return to broadcasting some 2 months later (!) at Bristol Motor Speedway, of all places. She also dives into her entrepreneurial success as an owner of Burn Boot Camp franchises, how it may have helped save her life, what she'd still like to accomplish in her career and more. Davey also discusses Kyle Larson's dominant Bristol win and the ensuing industry reaction to the performance, previews Kansas to kick off the Cup Series Round of 12 and Papa Segal pays homage to "Big Daddy" Don Garlits.

While we normally stick to properties from our youth we would like to present an episode about something more modern...but still about something we did as kids. Welcome to season four, episode 138 of Digital Dissection: Pop Culture Nerdity! On this episode, Joe and Mark talk about the short-lived Netflix series "Floor is Lava!" Hosted by Rutledge Wood, this competition show makes our childhood imaginations come true by having constants traverse themed rooms where the floor is...you guess it, LAVA!! What do you think?

Joining Jarod today is Rutledge Wood. You may know Rutledge from Top Gear, Hot Wheels: Ultimate Challenge, or even Floor Is Lava. They discuss Rutledge's background, the landscape of EVs, and chat about a surprising connection: how golf carts played a role in shaping today's electric cars.

Jim Rutledge and Matt Hamilton start the show thanking their wonderful fans after Rob in Madison gifted them a personal locker full of gifts yesterday and they finally connected on a pizza lunch date with Dave in Deerfield. They ask fans if it would be more embarrassing for Matt to wear his Pizza Pocket hoodie or his personal Chef's outfit out to date night with wife Jen at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse, and they also have some fun with a disturbing screen capture of Ben Brust leftover from KBN earlier today. Matt catches up on last week's news during What Matt Missed, including the NFL Draft prospect who doesn't believe in space, Lebron reaching 40k career points, Leo Chenal on R&H, and RG3 sounding off on some chicken s***. They play Tinder Time with some recently-cut free agents, asking fans which they'd most like the Packers to sign this offseason. They wrap up Hour 1 by confusing Primetime with old-timey references of Leave it to Beaver and Rutledge Wood.

This is huge, guys. Brooke Breit joins us for the first episode of Season 3, and with her help we've blown the top off this whole thing, from a widely rumored (solely by us) missing episode to “analysts” closely watching Rutledge Wood. You may think it's just wild speculation, but to us it's just Podcast Science.Our theme song is “Lava” by Doctor Popular, you can find more of his music here: https://docpop.bandcamp.com/ Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Rutledge Wood isn't running around inside a racetrack as he has in years past, but he's still plenty busy. Rut catches us up on what he's been doing lately; being used where he fits best and telling stories; having to be comfortable engaging people and wondering around; if being on TV has helped him develop a thick skin of other skills; getting his start in racing through a Craigslist ad; being on TV for cars but having a marketing degree; learning to love cars from his dad; why cars were the thing that stuck with me; if his daughters will also have a love of cars; Floor is Lava being the biggest thing he's ever done; being recognized all over the world; his beard being a whole story; the weird dynamic of having merchandise; everything he can be seen right now and what's going on.

When a Motorsports icon walks into the room, that room changes. Dale Earnhardt Jr. and co-host Mike Davis welcome four-time Indianapolis 500 winner Rick Mears to the table for a fascinating discussion about his storied racing career. From the streets of Bakersfield came a young man, with a motorcycle and a thirst for competition. The sensible influence of a mother, added two more wheels underneath Rick Mears. Little did she know that it would lead to being one of the fastest racers on the planet. First, young Rick honed his skills on the dirt of Ascot Park, jumping and sliding around in Sprint Buggies. The world of off-road racing took young him to the desert, where races like the Mint 400 and the Baja 1000 introduced Mears to some of the giants of Motorsport. As his reputation grew, so did opportunity. Bill Simpson plucked Mears from the dirt into open-wheeled racecars. Two years later, this quiet Californian was attempting to qualify for the Indianapolis 500. His first 500 attempt came with failure. The experience of not making the 33-car field came with learning opportunities and a random meeting that would change the course of Mears' life. Enter Roger Penske. The famed racing team owner tabbed the virtually unknown racer to pilot one of his open-wheeled beasts. The duo blossomed into what became one of the most successful driver-car owner combinations in the sports' history. Mears' style was calm and calculated. Rick admits that his demeaner led to an embarrassing and potentially dangerous moment in the opening laps of his first Indy 500. It was so bad, that he didn't even want to cue the radio to tell Roger Penske. It's a story you have to hear to believe. Rick says that "being strapped to a bomb," inside of an Indycar, will teach a racecar driver to go to the limit of speed and not go over. How did a young Mears deal with the ever-present factory of fear and develop the uncanny ability to walk a car to the edge of disaster so successfully? While his early career was pretty clean, disaster did strike Mears eventually. He admits to Dale Jr. and Mike that the horrific crash at San Air in Canada that left his feet shattered, was caused by driver error. Mears survived the crash but endured through most of his career feeling the pain caused by the incident. Mears became a four-time Indy 500 Champion, a feat only accomplished by three other drivers in the 104th running of the world's most famous race. But during some of those wins, Mears viewed Indy as just another race. It wasn't until later in his racing life, that he learned to appreciate what Indianapolis truly meant. Out of a curiosity created by filming the tv show "Lost Speedways" Mike Davis inquires about Rick Mears' take on the USAC / CART split in 1979. This question leads to Mears revealing that he had once tested a Formula-1 car and even had a signed contract with Bernie Ecclestone. Why did Mears stay the course in American open-wheel racing rather than a move overseas to the world of F1? Mears opens up about his disastrous 1992 Indy crash and the change in his mindset that led to hanging up the helmet. While many wanted him to go for an unprecedented 5th Indy 500 win, Mears knew it was his time to walk away. OPEN SEGMENT Before Mears entered the Bojangles Studio, the DJD gang took a fresh new swing at the "Open Segment" of the show to talk about: Kyle Busch leaving his racecar on pit road and walking away to the garage at Darlington. Joey Logano's controversial last lap contact with William Byron for the win. Is Joey doing it right? How should Byron handle it moving forward? Dale Jr. and Rutledge Wood's role in the Kentucky Derby broadcast and the awkwardness of interviewing Jack Harlow and Drake. What should the "Open Segment" of the show be called anyway? ASKJR presented by Xfinity Hannah Newhouse serves up fan questions about: Miami's F1 Weekend Strange Things Dale has autographed. North Wilkesboro Speedway News Dale's Rich Strike moment and more!

In this "From the Vault," Jim Beaver has television host and motorsports personality Rutledge Wood on the show.

When Boris Said sat down at the "Table of Truth" with Dale Earnhardt Jr and co-host Mike Davis, he thought it would be a discussion of his racing career. Little did he know that it would be a deep look into a fascinating life story from living on food stamps to racing championships and everything in between.A big pivot point came right away in Boris' childhood when his father, an accomplished racer himself, left him and his mother to fend for themselves. With little supervision and getting mixed up in the wrong crowd, young Boris found adventure in a life of crime. From stealing cars and robbing houses, Boris did a lot of things he isn't proud of. It was an admission nobody at the table expected from the likeable racer and left the room shocked. Doing it the wrong way stopped when he got caught, which led to a fork in the road. The fork he chose? Auto Racing.Boris took a carefree approach to an industry he knew nothing of and joined that with a fearless ferocity behind the wheel. But let's not be fooled, the Connecticut kid with an afro did lean on his past life of crime, and use a few dirty tricks to jumpstart his racing career. Within a year, this no-name driver was competing for wins and then championships in the Sports Car racing world. Said was on a path that would lead him to become a winner on stages worldwide at places like Germany's Nürburgring and the 24-Hours of Daytona. He was a Trans-Am Series Champion in 2004. But, a large part of his popularity in the states, came from his opportunities driving in the NASCAR Series.Big Boris talks about how he got the call to fill in for Jimmy Spencer and how the team had no idea how green the driver was heading into his first time on track at New York's Watkins Glen Speedway. He details an opportunity that followed to test for the Wood Brothers and how that opened doors for him in the Stock Car world. The first big door to open was from one of racing's biggest stars, Dale Earnhardt. The Intimidator wanted Boris to teach his son, Dale Jr., how to get around a road course faster. And that he did. Said and Dale Jr. share details about their first meeting and how their friendship and respect grew.Oh, and y'all know we love a good Dale Earnhardt story! Boris has some of the best, including the day Dale Earnhardt fetched him a peanut butter sandwich. And if that isn't enough, Said will go down in history as one of the few drivers to ever hop behind the wheel of the famed #3 at the personal request of Dale Sr. It's a moment that had him grinning from ear to ear.Said also shares another bond with Dale Jr. They were teammates for Corvette Racing when Dale Jr suffered burns in a fiery crash at Sonoma Speedway in 2004. Said details his recollection of the crash and takes us into the Infield Care Center with Dale Jr as he dealt with the trauma of his burns.Don't worry fans... Dale Jr. heard you and asked Boris about his famous dust-up with Greg Biffle at Watkins Glen. I mean, we had to right? From that to testing a Cup car all day in jeans and a t-shirt, the stories are amazing.Before Boris came into the room Dale Jr and Mike break down Dale's Los Angeles trip doing pre-game coverage with Rutledge Wood for NBC's broadcast of Super Bowl LVI. Jr. got snapped at by a dinosaur while interviewing Jeff Goldblum, hung out at a skate park, and compared business endeavors with G.O.A.T's like Jerry Rice and Troy Aikman. Damn, it was a good day. And when he got home, he worked on a homemade surprise for his family he details at the table.Leah Vaughn gets in a bunch of questions in this week's AskJr including Dale's favorite Olympic event to why he flies the flag for painted side-skirts on racecars but doesn't have them on the cars he owns at Jr. Motorsports. That and much more. To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Jr. got snapped at by a dinosaur while interviewing Jeff Goldblum, hung out at a skate park, and compared business endeavors with G.O.A.T's like Jerry Rice and Troy Aikman. Damn, it was a good day. And when he got home, he worked on a homemade surprise for his family he details at the table. Leah Vaughn gets in a bunch of questions in this week's AskJr including Dale's favorite Olympic event to why he flies the flag for painted side-skirts on racecars but doesn't have them on the cars he owns at Jr. Motorsports. That and much more. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

This is a gameshow on Netflix that is based on what you used to do as a kid when you were in your living room and pretended that the floor was molten lava and you had to jump from one piece of furniture to another. This game could only be played when I was home alone. My mama would not have put up with that for one second. Between feeding the cows, conversing with Will-e-talk, my ventriloquist dummy, and the lava thing, I had a rich and fulfilling childhood. If my middle name was Wayne, I could have turned out to be a serial killer.       Of course the premise of the show is to have a room, could be a living room, bedroom, or basement etc., that in place of a floor, is molten lava. I'm not sure what the lava is but it's thick, viscous, and red and there is 80,000 gallons of it. It is constantly bubbling and from time to time there are eruptions that sprays it all over the constants. There are three teams competing. Each team is made up of three people that are connect to each other. The first episode consisted of a mother and her twins, one team was identical triplets, and the other three youth pastors.    They work their way through the obstacles by jumping, swinging, and sliding while trying not to fall into the lava. They are hidden things that you can use to help you, like a rope you pull that drops something down. There are multiple paths and strategy is required. Each person that makes it to safety is a point. At the end of the game the most points win. The winning team gets $10,000 and a lava lamp trophy.       The coolest part of the game is if someone falls into the lava they are gone. They do not resurface, they are just gone. The rest of the team treats them like they are dead. They mourn the loss but keep going. We don't see them again until the team gets back together at the end. That was a great decision. Of course you know they aren't really dead, but it just adds something to the show.       The worst part of the show is the banter between the teammates. They never shut up, and everything they say is annoying. “Mom, this is why you do Pilates!” I'm not sure if the show is giving them suggestions on their banter, or if they get picked because of their goofiness.  The only thing more annoying is the announcer, Rutledge Wood, from Top Gear. All he does is state the obvious, that we are already seeing, using the worst puns possible. “That math teacher is finally adding himself to the equation.”       The action part with leaps face first on rocks is pretty interesting even though the rocks seem reasonably soft, the contestants still get banged up.       This show is fairly entertaining, but at the same time annoying. I watched the first 3 episodes out of 10 and I'm pretty sure I got all I wanted. You may like it better than me, you'll know for sure after the first 15 minutes.       My Score: 2 Budweisers could have been 3 if it was a little less annoying.       Learn more about your ad choices.
