Hello?

There's no Racing News down here.

Where ya off to?

Bob, this doesn't look good...

Are you lost...

The blue dot on the GPS won't help you here.

It's probably too late to turn back now anyway.

Baby Jessica, it appears you've fallen into the well.

Like a mummy at night fightin' with bright lightnin'.

I'm not here to save you. I'm just here for the ride. So, let me entertain you and everything will be fine.

Have you had it up to here? That's Rock Bottom.
