This is the Statt Mann Baby. Time to Scatt a little bit. Between workouts, walks and bike rides I’ve become a pretty good consumer of podcasts. The Los Angeles Times, in fact, did a great series called Dirty John. I understand it’s even becoming a television show. Now the LA Times Studios have a series…

This is the Statt Mann Baby. Time to Scatt a little bit. How do you do a 19th anniversary show without first saying thank you to the Freak Nation. Without you no one would care about The Freaks. Thank you. It’s crazy to think about where we’ve come from. One hour. One station. And one…
IndyCar Road America Winner Alexander Rossi was in The Freak Nation Sunday night. His win Sunday afternoon was dominating leading 54 of 55 laps, an IndyCar record.
