2/8/2024 7:35am Every time this novelty raises it's head I'm reminded of that Shaun Palmer interview where he talks about the '99 Winter-X " I have a medal in that too, but I just kinda hide that one"... also the follow up to " What were they thinking?..." - " ratings, they're looking for all kinds of stuff". @ 8:55 in this...
