Have you ever had something pop into your head and struggled to remember if it actually happened? You’re not sure if it was something that the clump of brain<\/a> matter in your noggin just cooked it up on its own.<\/p>\n

Well, that was me with the time Tony Danza<\/a> rolled a go-kart while racing Rusty Wallace, but sure enough, it happened exactly 21 years ago.<\/p>\n

ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON’T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

So, you may recall \u2014 or have perhaps blocked it out like some kind of childhood trauma \u2014 but Tony Danza, the star of shows like “Taxi” <\/i>and “Who’s The Boss?<\/a>“, <\/i>had a daytime talk show that ran from 2004 to 2006.<\/p>\n

It was called “The Tony Danza Show,” which was also the name of a 1997 sitcom<\/a> that ran for just five episodes.<\/p>\n

It was not stellar. Unless your idea of stellar is hearing Tony talk about his daughter’s spelling test at school or making linguine and clams, in which case it kicked ass.<\/p>\n

However, on one fateful day \u2014 May 9, 2005 \u2014 the show aired what is by far the most memorable moment of its entire run.<\/p>\n

Danza had NASCAR<\/a> legend Rusty Wallace on the show, and of course, being a cookie-cutter daytime talk show, they decided to have the two race go-karts.<\/p>\n

Had that gone off without a hitch, it would’ve been forgotten.<\/p>\n

But there was a big, barrel-rolling hitch that made it very<\/i> memorable.<\/p>\n

You’d think a guy with taxi-driving experience would be a bit better behind the wheel.<\/p>\n

For years, I had this memory of seeing the promo for this, but I would wonder, “Did that happen or did I imagine it?”<\/p>\n

Of course, I hoped it was real because it is so hilarious. Also, I’d be really concerned if my wandering brain, when left to its own devices, started writing its own Tony Danza\/NASCAR crossover fan fiction.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, Tony came out of that one unscathed, and even more fortunately, the internet has kept it alive for over two decades.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
