We're trying to make sure it goes up. Expand NASCAR, expand our fan base.

I'm not tied to the news cycle. I can do an episode on cultural appropriation, not on Rachel Dolezal. We might make a joke about her, but that's not going to be the focus of the conversation.

Jack Lynch

The number one problem in our world is alienation, rich versus poor, black versus white, labor versus management, conservative versus liberal, East versus West . . . But Christ came to bring about reconciliation and peace.

Billy Graham

You got to treat Mobb Deep different because our fan base is different. Our fan base is in the 'hood across the world.
