It was such a compelling & fun episode, l decided it needed to be re-visited!

Enjoy this throwback episode, tell a friend, and thanks for listening!

Mario Andretti
Take a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know Mario Andretti. In this episode Mario and I chat about what brought his family to The United States, and how he and his twin brother Aldo got bitten by the racing bug. He shares some of his favorite memories of his driving career (which spanned from 1959 to 2000). We talk about some of the automotive innovations that started in racing and are now on every passenger car made; He also tells me what it was like to win the Daytona 500, The Indy 500, and the Formula One World Championship. Finally, we close the show out talking about his post racing businesses which include a winery, and the nationwide Andretti Indoor Carting and Games entertainment complexes. (I do challenge him to a race at the one near my house!)
Mario is a legend and a national treasure, who has made a name for himself all over the world in his sport as well as his compassion and generosity. It was a great honor to speak with 3 time US Driver of the Year, US Driver of the Quarter Century, and Driver of the Decade.

This is a re-release of my interview with Robert Carradine

Robert Carradine 1954-2026

Robert Carradine
Take a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know Robert Carradine. Bobby is part of the iconic Carradine family. From his father John to his brothers Keith, David, & Michael, to his niece Martha Plimpton, and his daughter Ever Carradine; this family is Hollywood royalty! In this episode, Bobby and I chat about so many of the things he has done. We discuss his first ever film, working with John Wayne, Revenge of the Nerds with James Cromwell and where that laugh came from! We also dive into his twenty year long career as a professional race car driver for Lotus, and the 24 Hours Of Daytona with Paul Newman. Bobby shares stories including using a bull whip to break a cigarette out of Jamie Lee Curtis’ mouth! We cover his playing Lizzie McGuire’s dad on the entire run of that show plus the movie, and even a weird “Wife Swap” story involving NFL great Terrell Owens. Finally, we chat about his band “The Checks” and his podcast “Party Nerds Pop-Cast”. Both of these projects are with his good buddy Richard Gabai. I have checked out the show, and I think it’s definitely worth giving a listen. I think you will enjoy it. Bobby graciously lets me play one of the songs by The Checks, and I think you will enjoy that as well. I can’t thank Bobby enough for being on the show. Make sure you show him some love!

Stewart Anstead
Take a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know Stewart Anstead. Stewart is an artist, more specifically a painter. He has produced some of the most beautiful and unique pieces I have ever seen. Some of his art is inspired by automobile racing, some is inspired by iconic athletes; but all of his pieces are themselves inspiring. In this episode, Stewart takes us on a journey of finding that thing in life that pulls you, that part of you that won’t be ignored. He shares with us the path that led him from California’s North Bay (Chico) to Utah (BYU), and the artistic steps along the way. We discuss the artistic value he sees in brands like: Nike, Converse, lettering, and even the human hand. Of course, we talk about such greats as: Warhol, Klimt, Picasso, Pollock, Banksy, and Bob Ross. Stewart’s art is hanging in many homes & businesses, including The San Francisco Giants back offices, and comedian Adam Carolla’s home. His art features the likes of: Paul Newman racecars, Shelby American, Secretariat, Rudy Ruettiger, Madison Baumgartner, and tons more. Stewart has an inspiring story, and I thank him so much for sharing. You can actually commission an Anstead Piece of your own, as he gives his contact info toward the end.

Take a walk with me down Fascination Street as I conclude my conversation with Texas Treasure Kinky Friedman. In this episode we start off by having a toast and a shot of bourbon!

Kinky tells some more stories, tells a joke or two, lets me play my favorite song from his previous album (Resurrection); and the show concludes with The Kinkster playing (LIVE) one of the songs off of his upcoming album The Poet of Motel 6. What a LEGEND.
