GS:Well, my interest is piqued.
TM:He’s been banned from at least two bars for excessive use of jazz hands.
GS: Lorhaven, the bad boy of the NRR, uses jazz hands?
TM:I saw his journal once. He says he isn’t a bad boy but a misunderstood villain.
GS:His diary…
DM:Stop causing trouble, frat boy. Thanksgiving is going to be a shit show.
GS:You spend Thanksgiving with Lorhaven?
DM:He’s family.
GS to TM:You still don’t like talking about his accident, do you?
TM:Obviously.
GS:Even after all this time?
TM:Always.
GS:My question isn’t really about the accident, more about what came after.
GS:How hard was it getting back to normal after the accident?
DM:We didn’t go back to normal because our normal changed.
TM: It got better.
GS:Because you became parents?
DM:Because we were still together. Because the accident was terrible, but it gave us the courage to live full throttle. I don’t think I really realized how much I held back until I almost died.
GS:I never thought of you as a man who holds back.
DM:On the track, definitely not. But in other aspects of life, in relationships, it was harder to come out of my shell.
GS:What does coming out of your shell mean exactly?
DM:Being vulnerable.
GS:But now you are?
DM:Yeah.
GS:How hard was it getting back on the track and behind the wheel?
DM:It was hard. The hardest thing I’ve ever done in my career.
GS:What was that first time behind the wheel of your race car like?
