Leaning Right and Turning Left roars into the historic South Boston Speedway to catch up with Late Model Racing powerhouse Peyton Sellers! Listen as Peyton tells the boys about his journey in becoming a successful late model driver in the grass roots NASCAR Advance Auto Parts weekly series at local short tracks throughout Virginia, as well as his run for a record seventh championship at South Boston Speedway. Don't miss as Peyton discusses how NASCAR grabbed Peyton's crown for last year's weekly series championship with the stroke of a pen (they called it an "audit," we call it "getting screwed"), and find out where Peyton goes from here as he cuts his path in becoming a short track legend. But first, you must listen to Hermie and the Senator roast America's favorite podcast side-kick Shep Moss on his sudden and unexpected retirement from being "Captain Chaos" on the South Hill Virginia Town Council. As always, Shep never disappoints in the funny as he defends himself from the onslaught of crap his two friends dish out for leaving his post, and the resulting whirlwind that it has now created in the local town government that he once ruled. Finally, the boys discuss their race team, Sadler/Stanley Racing, getting back on the track as the SMART series gets back to racing for the last two months of the 2023 open-wheel asphalt modified season with their race car driving superstars, two of NASCAR's top 75 drivers of all time, Bobby Labonte and recently crowned champion of the SRX Thursday Night Thunder Series, Ryan Newman!

In the final episode of the LRTL "Lake Gaston Tapes," Hermie, Bill and one and only Shep Moss talk about Sen. Stanley's Bill SB 1515 (2023), which required that pornography websites that solicit a Virginia audience put a filter on its website to verify the age of the user and to protect children under the age of 18 from pornography on the internet. Listen as the guys discuss the specifics of this new law authored by Stanley, the horrible effects of pornography on children's growth into young adults, and the surprising reaction of the internet porn providers that decided to cease offering their website to people that live in Virginia, rather than comply with the law in order to protect children. Don't miss the part where Sadler, Shep and Stanley listen to and comment on a select few of the numerous and outrageous (and sometimes threatening) phone calls of protest by adults that the Senator received at his law office after the bill went into effect (warning: some of the language is strong). And make sure that you don't miss a guest appearance by the infamous "Plug Moore" in a hilarious conversation with the fellas!

In Stanley’s “Leaning Right Moment,” the guys talk about the internal politics of the possible match-up of Hermie with another Republican politician in the newly-created 17th State Senate District, and what endorsements really mean to a race. And, the Senator rails against a Northern Virginia liberal Democrat, state Delegate Elizabeth Guzman, who is submitting a new bill for consideration by the Virginia state legislature in 2023 that would subject parents to investigations by Child Protective Services, have their child removed from them, and face potential criminal charges if they didn’t acquiesce to and “affirm” their child’s desire to “transition” from their biological gender.

In this week’s episode of LRTL, Sadler and the Senator welcome Glen Davis, a Virginia State Delegate from the great city of Virginia Beach, to discuss the shenanigans afoot in the Virginia General Assembly that occurred in the state’s budget negotiations allowing an unconstitutional (and previously unheard of) change of the state’s criminal code, in yet another attempt to keep Virginia small businesses from participating in the emerging gaming market dominated by the out of state casinos. Hear first-hand how a small group of legislators subverted the Virginia Constitution and traditional legislative process to benefit out of state fat-cat corporations in an effort to hurt small business owners that run convenience stores, restaurants/bars and truck stops, and to defy the judicial system (and Sadler’s recent court victory) in Sadler and Stanley’s ongoing court battle to help these businesses that depend on skill games to keep their doors open and their workers employed. Del. Davis, Hermie and the Senator let you in on the secretive back-room process, why it is fundamentally flawed, as well as the reasons behind why a small handful of legislators intentionally kept the public and most of their state representatives from debating the issue; and, find out what you can do about it to make sure that your government keeps its word to be “by the people and for the people” in the future, so this never happens again. Listen as Hermie and Bill update you on how their lawsuit against big government overreach in protection of the little guy is progressing, and cheer them on as they stand up for truth, justice and the Virginia way! In Senator Stanley’s “Leaning Right Moment,” the boys discuss how the left blames Florida Governor DeSantis for both the hurricane and its aftermath (and why even Democrats aren’t buying what the liberals are selling here), why gas prices are on the rise once again and why the democrats record of failure on kitchen table issues that matter to everyday Americans keeps on growing, and what Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and her liberal elite pals believe is the proper (and clearly racist) role of illegal immigrants in today’s society. In Hermie Sadler’s “Turning Left Moment,” Sadler details the Sadler/Stanley Racing Team’s upcoming race at the historic Hickory Motor Speedway, their fundraising efforts for the family of Chris Beazley, a member of the racing community who was tragically killed in a car accident by a drunk driver, and Hermie goes in depth on the increasing concern by Cup drivers that the NASCAR® NextGen car is more unsafe than the previous model, and what can be done to make it safer for the drivers in the future.

This week is a very special episode of Leaning Right And Turning Left, where Hermie and Senator Stanley have a very frank and emotional conversation about Autism from the parents’ perspective. Mandi Calhoun and Hermie’s wife Angie Sadler join Bill and Hermie to discuss both the challenges and triumphs of raising children with Autism. Listen as they have an honest and open discussion on their respective family’s experiences raising their children, their struggles in dealing with a public educational system that (more often than not) fails parents with special needs children, and how parents can work together to change the system and ensure that their children can flourish—thereby giving them the best chance to lead wonderful, safe and productive lives as they grow into adulthood. Mandi and the group also discuss her efforts both to help parents through the challenges of raising their children, as well as to educate the special needs educators about current autism issues through her incredible organization F.E.A.T (“Families Embracing Autism Together”) – and, how you the audience member can get involved in and support this very important and special charitable organization. In Senator Stanley’s “Leaning Right Moment,” Bill and Hermie discuss three “quick hit” topics of the current goings-on in Virginia politics: the brewing debate over Governor Youngkin’s significant “parents first” revision of the previous Northam administration’s radical policy concerning transgender students in the public school system; the Democrat Leader in the House of Delegates ridiculously asserting in an Op-Ed that Republicans are an extreme “threat to public safety” because they believe in the 2nd Amendment; and, Sadler and the Senator even explore the recent headline-making physical altercation between two Republican Delegates from the Senator’s region who are both vying for the same seat in 2023 (that has now resulted in pending criminal charges being taken out by one against the other), and whether anyone wins when political altercations like these are determined in the courtroom rather than in the voting booth. In Hermie Sadler’s “Turning Left Moment,” the boys discuss the debacle of a race at Texas Motor Speedway, the current state of the Sadler/Stanley Racing Team, and speculate as to whether or not the remnants of Hurricane Ian will affect their upcoming race at Motor Mile Speedway in Radford this weekend. And hey, one of the best parts about this episode is that the boys’ side-kick, their favorite “plus one,” and the infamous Party Time DJ Shep “Burn-Pile” Moss is back in studio with Sadler and the Senator, and he is ready to Drop the Beat and Light the Fire to all the current topics discussed in today’s opening segment!

NASCAR® legend, NBC Sports Analyst and all-around great guy Kyle Petty sits down for a deep and compelling discussion with Sadler and the Senator in this week’s LRTL episode. Kyle discusses the release of his incredible new book, “Swerve or Die, Life At My Speed In The First Family of NASCAR® Racing,” and recalls for the boys some hilarious moments in his life, as well as some truly touching moments about his family and dealing with the tragedy of loss. Quite simply, this is the BEST LRTL PODCAST INTERVIEW EVER, and you must give it a listen. In Senator Stanley’s “Leaning Right Moment,” Hermie and Bill discuss when “inflation isn’t inflation” when it only rises “an inch,” according to our President, and how the left loves open borders and “Sanctuary Cities,” until some of the illegal immigrants that have crossed our southern border actually land in their backyard in the liberal elite haven of Martha’s Vineyard. In Hermie Sadler’s “Turning Left Moment,” Sadler and the Senator talk about their race team’s performance at the SMART Series Tour stop at Virginia’s Dominion Raceway and why Senator Stanley should never be left in charge of the team when Hermie is not around, because chaos ensues.

Sadler and The Senator are back again this week with yet another jam-packed Leaning Right and Turning Left episode full of fun, frivolity, legal issues impacting the nation, current politics and what’s new in the racing world. And, the boys welcome some of their favorite people to the show, Billy Riddle and the “Appalachian Podcast” boys for a sit-down about auto racing, life and the virtues of living the gentle fold in God’s palm, Appalachia (for y’all who listen to the show from up north, its pronounced “a-puh-LATCH-uh”). Hear how Billy and Bodean of the “Appalachian Podcast” were the first podcast that Sadler/Senator ever appeared on, and how they inspired Sadler and the Senator to start their very own podcast! It’s a great conversation recorded earlier during the Racetrack Revival week at the historic North Wilkesboro races, where Team SSR made history with Ryan Newman winning in the #39 car, so give a listen because you are gonna love it! In Senator Stanley’s Leaning Right Moment of the show, Bill and Hermie have a good laugh over “The Great Twitter Battle between Sen. Louise Lucas and Va. Attorney General Jason Miyares,” over Louise’s pot shot at Miyares, and Miyares’ return fire pot shot at Sen. Lucas-- about her Pot Shop! Then, Senator Stanley details his current representation of the Smith family of Loudoun County, and in particular, the father of the child sexually assaulted in the Loudoun County High School bathroom, who was arrested (and branded “a domestic terrorist”) for speaking out and standing up to the Loudoun County School Board for covering up the assault of his child so they could pass dangerous hyper-partisan transgender policies that put his daughter in harm’s way. Sen. Stanley gives an in-depth discussion about defending Scott against the unjust charges Loudoun’s George Soros-backed prosecutor has levied against him, and recounts their most recent major court victories in getting one of the charges dismissed (obstruction of justice), and having the Court grant Stanley’s motion to remove and recuse the politically biased and vindictive prosecutor from further involvement in the pending criminal case against the father. In Hermie’s Turning Left Moment, Hermie discusses the big news and long-term impact of Kyle Busch joining Richard Childress Racing, and how this signing could be made even more intriguing for the sport of NASCAR® if Kyle was put into a particularly numbered RCR vehicle that also used to be driven by one of the other bad boys of racing. Sadler also dives into Bubba Wallace’s Cup win at Kansas, and the upcoming SMART series race as their SS Racing makes a run for the championship.

In Senator Stanley’s Leaning Right Moment, he and Hermie discuss the President’s ugly and divisive speech that was “supposed” to unite us all, and riff on the current state of politics in Virginia and how their ongoing lawsuit for small businesses (and Hermie’s potential run for State Senate in 2023) is affecting the political landscape at the Capitol of the Commonwealth in Richmond. In Hermie’s Turning Left Moment, Sadler and the Senator talk in great detail about the stunning news and big changes that are coming to the North Wilkesboro Speedway, their adventures at last week’s SMART Series Tour race at Carteret Speedway in North Carolina, how their Sadler/Stanley Racing Team’s #22 fared on the track at the race, and what’s in store for the SS Racing Team in the upcoming race at Orange County Speedway as they make a final 5-race run for a SMART Series Championship.

This episode provides a behind the scenes look of all the work that has gone into rescuing the Envigo Beagles from a painful life of needless scientific experimentation at the Cumberland Breeding Facility in Virginia, with one of the original “beagle warriors,” John Ramer of Wyoming’s Kindness Ranch. Along with Homeward Trail’s Sue Bell, Senator Stanley and Hermie, John Ramer did not hesitate to jump into action to save these precious pups. Hear how it all happened from the very beginning, and how the ongoing removal of over 4,000 beagles from the Cumberland facility is progressing. And, hear the wonderful story about Uno, Ramer’s beagle that was the first to be loaded on the Kindness Ranch van, and who immediately touched the Ramer family’s heart. In Senator Stanley’s Leaning Right Moment, Hermie and Bill discuss the unfairness of Biden’s student loan bail out for the liberal educational elites, whether Republicans are “semi-facists” as the President claims, and Virginia’s Governor’s push back on 2021 legislation signed by his predecessor Ralph Northam that will tie Virginia’s greenhouse gas emissions to the ridiculous standards of California.

In Senator Stanley’s Leaning Right moment, sponsored by Senator Stanley’s college roommate Tom Graziano and his Farmville restaurant Charley’s Waterfront Café, Bill and Hermie discuss Virginia Gov. Youngkin’s unique and powerful initiatives to create private/public partnerships to save and revitalize Petersburg, one of the great historical cities of Virginia. Sadler and the Senator then relive “private citizen” Hermie’s foray into local politics and the speech he made at a local county’s Republican Committee (and the petty politics of those that may challenge him in a primary), as he determines whether to throw his hat in the ring for the newly created 17th District for the Virginia State Senate. And in Hermie’s Turning Left moment, sponsored by Stanley’s wife’s company Vista Installations, the boys talk about the races at Watkins Glen, the insertion of F1 racers into the cup race, the finish between Kyle Larson and Chase Elliott, and the good showing by our friend Chris Rice’s team Kaulig Racing in both the Xfinity and Cup races with AJ Allmendinger. Hermie also discusses the charter system, and how the racing would be even better if the Michael Waltrip Racing Team was still a force in NASCAR®.

Laugh with the boys as they agree on bet amounts, set the rules and time limits, and have an official “weigh-in” to kick off the weight loss battle royale!

In the 30th episode of Leaning Right and Turning Left, Hermie and the Senator are “turning left,” to record the events surrounding the return of open-wheel modified racing to the historic North Wilkesboro Speedway, and they sit down with the legendary crew chief for NASCAR® Hall of Famer Junior Johnson, the one and only Jeff Hammond, to talk about the history and future of this hallowed cathedral of racing. They recount the Tuesday night race where their driver, NASCAR® great Ryan Newman gets the checkers for Sadler/Stanley racing in the first race back at the track in over two decades. And, the boys tease what will be a phenomenal interview with the man who was the primary driving force in bringing back racing to North Wilkesboro for next week’s episode. In the “Leaning Right” moment, Sadler and the Senator discuss the price of politics, and how some in the political world view this podcast, and the no-holds barred way that Hermie and Bill deliver the unvarnished truth to power, as threatening to the “old boy” political system in Virginia. A historic day for racing and a wild ride for the listener make this episode a must listen! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
In this week’s episode of Leaning Right and Turning Left, Hermie pulls another superstar friend out of his phone book when the boys interview 6-time WWE Women’s Wrestling Champion Mickie James! Mickie recounts her road to professional wrestling superstardom, her incredible dual career as a country music star, and both she and The Senator get into a passionate and moving conversation about her Native American heritage as a member of Virginia’s historic Mattaponi tribe, when Mickie suddenly realizes that Senator Stanley is her mother’s (and other family member’s) trial attorney in their ongoing fight for freedom and women’s rights with the elders of the tribe who seek to silence their voice and ability for women to participate in tribal government. In this week’s Leaning Right moment, the Senator and Sadler discuss more “Left Lunacy” with former Prince Harry’s bashing America at the UN, liberal activists demanding that anthropologists stop referring to ancient human remains as either male or female, since they say there is “no way to know how they ‘identified’” when they were alive, the belief by a dopey college professor that a biological male can get pregnant, and even how a former dude being nominated for the NCAA’s “female athlete of the year” sets back women’s equality in Title IX collegiate athletics. In Hermie’s Turning Left moment, both he and his SS Racing Team partner discuss the upcoming and historic return of racing on the asphalt of North Wilkesboro Speedway on August 2nd and 3rd, with NASCAR® great Ryan Newman driving the SSR #39 open-wheel modified on opening night, and their top-tier team modified driver Jonathan Brown driving the car on the second night! And, the guys get yet another message on “Hermie’s Answering Machine” that asks them: “who’s better?” So pull those belts tight one more time ladies and gentlemen, its time to drop the green flag on another great episode of The Leaning Right and Turning Left with Sadler and The Senator Podcast!

Duke basketball fans beware, the Tar Heel version of Christian Laettner is in the house with Hermie Sadler and Virginia State Senator Bill Stanley on this week’s explosive episode of Leaning Right and Turning Left With Sadler and the Senator!! Tyler Hansbrough, Chapel Hill Basketball phenom, NBA® star and all around great guy discusses with the boys his life, his record-breaking basketball career, the insanity of being friends with Hermie and his brother Eliott Sadler, his podcast, “SleepHawk Worldwide,” and what it feels like to have his Carolina jersey retired and hanging from the rafters alongside Michael Jordan’s in the Dean Smith Center Basketball Arena. In Senator Stanley’s “Leaning Right” moment, Sadler and the Senator dive deep into the hypocrisy of “The Left Lunacy” with First Lady Jill Biden’s ridiculous (and quite frankly demeaning) comparison of Hispanics to “breakfast tacos,” having liberal political operatives call a Latina Republican 2022 congressional candidate in Texas “Miss Enchiladas,” and they analyze in detail the recent national voter polling data that clearly demonstrates the negative effect that the extreme progressive left’s agenda is having on everyday Americans and the Hispanic community at large. The boys even discuss how the left just went nuts (not in a good way) over a the fact that a “Good Samaritan” hero with a firearm stopped a mass shooting at a shopping mall in Indiana (hint: the liberals actually try to blame the hero for carrying a licensed firearm into a “gun free zone” to save the day). And, in former NASCAR® driver and Fox Sports® analyst Hermie Sadler’s signature “Turning Left” moment, he discusses with the Senator the NASCAR® race at New Hampshire, the controversial news of emerging stock car superstar Tyler Reddick’s moving from the Richard Childress Racing Team to Denny Hamlin and Michael Jordan’s 23XI Cup team after the 2023 season, and Hermie’s triumphant return to the broadcasting booth for the FloRacing Channel for this week’s races at Virginia’s Langley Speedway.

The boys have a ton of laughs as well as serious moments with The Road Dogg while exploring his pathway of fame in the professional wrestling world. In the Senator’s “Leaning Right” moment, they explore current political events in both Virginia and America. And in Sadler’s “Turning Left” moment, Sadler and the Senator, along with their sidekick Shep Moss talk about the NASCAR® race at Atlanta, the SRX race at the Nashville Fairgrounds, where their friend Bobby Labonte won in an exciting race (with the Senator playing a prank on Labonte’s greatest fan, the Senator’s son Chandler during the race), and they even release their Sadler/Stanley Race Team’s Open-Wheel Modified driver line-up for the upcoming historic return to the North Wilkesboro Speedway races during the first week of August (hint: a NASCAR® legend will be getting into the seat of the SSR car).

Summary: In this week’s fact-filled and informative episode, Sadler and the Senator fight back against President Biden’s ridiculous claim that it is not his misguided energy policies that are to blame for the nation’s high gas prices, but rather it is the small business gas station owners who are to blame for the pain that all Americans are feeling at the pump, even though Biden’s Chief Economic Advisor says that these high gas prices are a part of the Democrats’ preservation of the new “Liberal World Order”-- whatever the heck that means. As a part of the Senator’s “Turning Right Moment,” the fellas welcome one of the most brilliant minds in the United States Congress, Rep. Morgan Griffith (Va-9), to engage in a compelling discussion about the true causes of the outrageous rise in in both inflation and gas prices in America, and what it will take for us all to band together to “Build Back Better, Just Like It Used To Be.” In Hermie Sadler’s “Turning Left” racing segment, Bill and Hermie discuss the Nascar® races at Road America in Wisconsin over the past weekend, their part-time driver Ryan Newman’s huge win in the SRX Series at Stafford (and Ryan’s daughter’s wearing of the Sadler/Stanley Racing Sweatshirt on national TV in Victory Lane), the SSR’s race team’s return to the SMART series at Caraway Speedway that didn’t end so well for their driver, their car (that almost flipped over in a wreck) or the team, as well as the race team’s new mascot, a rescue kitten found in the parking lot on race day, now named “Jon Boy” after their team’s open-wheel modified driver, Jonathan Brown.

Listen as Sadler and his buddy Shep Moss relive their funniest moments during Hermie’s racing career when he got to know some of the most famous grapplers in the “square circle,” how he got involved as a wrestler in the emerging NWA-Total Nonstop Action (NWA/TNA) Wrestling with WWE® Hall of Famer (and Sadler and The Senator’s Podcast Boss) “Double J” Jeff Jarrett, as well as his time running the local version of the organization throughout the country for the Jarrett family and NWA. And during Hermie’s “Turning Left” Moment, listen to the hilarious fun as the Senator is shocked to learn that not only did Hermie finally get a paying sponsor for his Turning Left moment, but also when Sadler reveals who that sponsor actually is, the Senator is left speechless for the first time in his life!

In this week’s episode, Sadler and the Senator welcome Virginia’s First District Congressional Committee Chairman and Senate Republican Caucus Communications Director Jeff Ryer and the Executive Director of the Republican Party of Virginia Ken Nunnenkamp to discuss the current state of politics both nationally and in Virginia, the Glen Youngkin, Winsome Earle-Sears and Jason Miyares’ historic victories in 2021, the upcoming federal election this November, and what it will take for Republicans to win back the House of Delegates and State Senate in 2023. And then the crew discusses how somebody who wants to run for a state or local office can win, and make a difference. In the podcast’s “Hermie’s Answering Machine” moment, a caller colorfully asks Hermie’s opinion about a long-standing state senator’s use of clearly foul language in a public speech, and whether its appropriate for an elected official to do so (or even if there is a double standard in the use of such language between Democrats and Republicans). So if you want a great lesson in politics and being a future candidate, this is the episode for you! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Sadler and the Senator bring to the table on this week’s episode of “Leaning Right and Turning Left” an informative and hilarious discussion with Sadler family friend and superstar racing spotter Brett Griffin (co-host of The “Door, Bumper, Clear” podcast and spotter for Kaulig Racing) about the good, the bad, (and the occasionally ugly) side of professional stock car racing in America, his hope for the future of the sport he loves; and, Hermie and Brett even tell some stories of their past adventures with Elliott Sadler when they were all in the racing business together back in the day—well, to the extent that they can tell the tales without getting each other in trouble! In his “Leaning Right” moment, Stanley and Sadler discuss the current condition of the state budget in Virginia and how it affects (if at all) their ongoing fight of the overreach of big government against the small business owner. And in his (almost sponsored) “Turning Left” moment, Hermie breaks down the return of NASCAR® racing to Kenny Wallace Country, good ol’ St. Louis Missouri, as well as the return of The Sadler/Stanley Racing team and the SMART Modified Tour to Caraway Speedway on Wednesday, June 29th!

In yet another compelling episode, Hermie and Senator Stanley continue to take on the important current issues in both racing and politics. They open the show by discussing the great racing that occurred over the Memorial Day holiday weekend in both the Indy 500, and Denny Hamlin’s victory in the World (aka “Coca-Cola”) 600, as well as revealing the back-room shenanigans that are going on in Virginia with the General Assembly trying to pass a budget that includes an (previously unheard of) attempt to protect big-time out of state gambling interests at the expense of Virginia small business owners like Hermie. The guys expose for all to see the efforts a very few in state government to radically change the Virginia State Code through budget language, and to actively interfere with Sadler’s successful (and still pending) court case. Hermie and the Senator pull back the curtain on an otherwise secretive legislative budget-writing process that is controlled by those privileged few legislators who continue to impose their will and agenda against the majority of the other duly-elected members of the Virginia legislature. And, Sadler and Stanley together outline how they will continue to stand up against this unconstitutional attack against Virginia small businesses, and will continue their fight against government overreach -- not only because it is the right thing to do, but also because they believe that vigilance is the eternal price of liberty, victory and justice.

In this absolutely “must-listen to” episode, when the Senator teases Hermie with the audio of some awesome and hilarious commercials made by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson for Hermie back in the day when Sadler owned a GM dealership, Hermie shocks us all when he opens up in an in-depth and emotionally-frank conversation about their friendship during that time. Hermie candidly reveals to us how close both he and The Rock were to forming their own NASCAR® team in the early 2000’s (which would have been HUGE for both racing and wrestling during that era), only to have those hopes and dreams dissolve into utter disappointment and thoughts of what could have been. Learn both how and why it happened, and who might have actually had a hand in the demise in the “Sadler/Rock” Race Team. Then in the second segment, Sadler and the Senator talk to the “Lightening Rod of Virginia Politics,” Democratic State Senator Joe Morrissey (D-16), about the current state of Virginia and national politics, and how we move forward, together, for the good of all of the citizens of the Commonwealth. And in the final segment, the Senator uses his “Leaning Right” moment to review the stunning report released by Governor Youngkin’s office on the current state of Virginia’s Public School system, and Hermie goes over everything he hated about the NASCAR® All-Star Race in Texas.
