  Happy Thursday morning, everybody.
• 0:05
  I think it's Thursday morning, Kim, is it Thursday morning?
• 0:10
  It is. Would you look at the little
• 0:14
  coffee mug I had to make? I had to get creative.
• 0:19
  So this beautiful, beautiful hotel that we are at has a nice
• 0:26
  coffee, but the coffee cups were too small and my coffee was all
• 0:31
  the way to the top. So I put it in my water glass.
• 0:35
  Hey, I got to have my coffee. It's just it's good for me.
• 0:40
  By God, it's the one. It's the one thing I can enjoy
• 0:42
  in the morning. So I don't care how I get my
• 0:45
  coffee, as long as I'm getting it, it's all good.
• 0:51
  All right, everybody, we are out here in Sonoma, California.
• 0:58
  It is actually a beautiful, beautiful Sonoma Wine Valley.
• 1:04
  And they got some of the best soil in the world.
• 1:09
  And out here, they create all these wine places 'cause they
• 1:15
  got good soil. Kim and I have been out here a
• 1:19
  lot, as you all know, all those years I raced at NASCAR, I raced
• 1:23
  out here at the Sonoma Raceway a lot.
• 1:27
  And not just did I race here a lot, but when I was working for
• 1:31
  Bank of America, I would fly from Charlotte, NC all the way
• 1:37
  across the United States. Have you ever looked on the map?
• 1:42
  We're we're on the very end of the United States.
• 1:46
  You know, sometimes you'll look, you'll go, hey, we're going to
• 1:48
  San Francisco. Holy moly, we're two hours
• 1:52
  behind Saint Louis right now. That's how we're next to the
• 1:55
  ocean. When you land in San Francisco,
• 1:59
  you come over the ocean and land.
• 2:01
  That's how, that's how far West we are here.
• 2:06
  My head is go West, young man. We went as far as we could.
• 2:11
  So Sonoma Wine Valley. I don't know why I'm thinking
• 2:15
  about Rico Abrew now. His father is so smart, so
• 2:19
  intelligent. Rico Abrew is a great Sprint car
• 2:22
  racer and his dad. Hey, Rico, if you hear about
• 2:26
  this respond, I don't know the exact name, but Rico's dad, I
• 2:31
  guess goes around the world. I mean, there is there is Abrew
• 2:35
  Vineyards. I get that.
• 2:36
  But I guess he's super smart, goes around the world, finds
• 2:40
  great soil and also builds, you know, vineyards for people that
• 2:46
  want to grow, you know, the, the wine, you know, the little
• 2:50
  grapes. Now I'm thinking of Lucille Ball
• 2:53
  smashing grapes. Remember on one of the Lucille
• 2:57
  Ball shows, they're smashing grapes with their feet, you
• 3:02
  know, because that's what I guess they did years ago.
• 3:05
  Hell, I don't know what I'm talking about.
• 3:06
  I'm just talking about what I saw on the TV.
• 3:11
  So anyway, Kim and I have been out here, you know, Bank of
• 3:15
  America. Getting back to that, I would
• 3:16
  fly from Charlotte out here and I would do appearances here at
• 3:21
  the racetrack for Bank of America looking at the Bears.
• 3:25
  Hold on, hold on, let's find it. Look at this.
• 3:27
  Look at this. It's the wildlife.
• 3:29
  We're do, we're doing coffee with Kenny.
• 3:31
  Let me guess, you did you already go get the breakfast?
• 3:34
  No, I'm on my way right now. Are you?
• 3:37
  I'm having coffee with Kenny. If you find a real coffee cup,
• 3:39
  bring me one back. Next door in the market.
• 3:43
  I'm on my way there now. I'll bring you one.
• 3:45
  Back look at the new hats, everybody like it.
• 3:47
  Good looking hat, you look good. And two-tone too.
• 3:51
  Hey, anything you want with we, we passed each other on the
• 3:54
  street last night. There's 250 of us riders.
• 3:58
  And Kyle Petty sang last night. Was it good?
• 4:01
  It was great. Was it typical Kyle Petty?
• 4:03
  Fantastic. Everybody loved it.
• 4:06
  Big crowd, so it was awesome. Yeah.
• 4:08
  All right. Well, I'll see you around.
• 4:11
  I left my damn boots at home. I I actually I accidentally
• 4:16
  grabbed Kim's boots. Oh no.
• 4:18
  So now I got to go get me some boots.
• 4:20
  I think it was you. You guys found me a place.
• 4:22
  It's a good. Reason to go to the Harley
• 4:24
  dealer. Yeah, 25 miles from here.
• 4:25
  So I'm going to the Harley dealer and now I have two pairs
• 4:29
  of boots I. Think they got one, Somebody
• 4:31
  said 14 miles. Away.
• 4:31
  Oh, I'm going to find that one. You'll find out.
• 4:33
  Yeah, they got, they got good ones there.
• 4:35
  They probably have a sale just for us.
• 4:36
  Yeah, today's a big day. I think maybe Matt, Ken says
• 4:39
  will arrive. Schrader will arrive.
• 4:41
  It's going to be a big day. Trouble.
• 4:43
  We have our time now. All right, Have a good
• 4:45
  breakfast, buddy. Be.
• 4:45
  Blessed, have a wonderful day. Awesome.
• 4:48
  You too. So one of the riders, that's the
• 4:51
  hat. But I would come, besides racing
• 4:55
  out here in NASCAR, I would come out here and do some appearances
• 5:01
  at the racetrack for Bank of America, 'cause if you did big
• 5:04
  banking, if you'd banked with Bank of America, they would, you
• 5:07
  know, you'd get to drive race cars around the racetrack.
• 5:11
  And then at their lunch break, a speech from a speech from me,
• 5:18
  Kenny Wallace. Imagine that.
• 5:20
  I'm never short for words. We would talk about everything.
• 5:27
  So, yeah, it's beautiful country out here.
• 5:31
  This is the Cal Petty 30th ride. Cal Petty and Morgan Petty and
• 5:39
  their children, they are so wonderful.
• 5:43
  This ride is for the greatest of causes.
• 5:46
  I I actually, I've never done anything that is such a good
• 5:49
  cause 'cause we've been to the Victory Junction gang camp up
• 5:53
  there in Raleigh, Durham. And these children are roughed
• 5:56
  up and God, you just want to give them a big hug and the
• 5:59
  money that it cost to realize their dreams.
• 6:02
  They have a beautiful swimming pool, they got archery, they got
• 6:06
  you name it, they make these children's dreams come true.
• 6:10
  So the Victory Junction gang camp, check it out.
• 6:14
  The money is just awesome. I think last year Morgan put
• 6:17
  out, Morgan Petty said that I think we raised 1.5 million.
• 6:22
  So always trying to give money away.
• 6:25
  And that's, that's hey, I'll never forget I was talking to
• 6:29
  Adam Wainwright, Adam Wainwright, one of the great
• 6:35
  baseball cardinal pitchers. And we were, you know, Adam has
• 6:39
  made probably $100 million or more.
• 6:42
  And he said he was going to do some TV for Fox.
• 6:47
  And he said my job now is to make as much money as I can and
• 6:50
  give it away. So, you know, a lot of people
• 6:54
  when they make a lot of money, then they retire 3840 years old
• 6:58
  and then they live their life doing fun things.
• 7:00
  And that's what we're doing right now.
• 7:02
  Listen, we will do the same thing for brother Rusty during
• 7:06
  Sturgis Rusty's ride. So Rusty's ride, that'll be in
• 7:10
  August. And we're going to give money
• 7:12
  away there too. So really looking forward to
• 7:15
  this. OK, this is me.
• 7:22
  Look at this tree. You can tell where this tree's
• 7:24
  been cut. And it's regrowed.
• 7:27
  Look at that. It's cut there.
• 7:31
  Ain't that wild? It's the little everybody.
• 7:36
  It's the little stuff. Kim is inside there.
• 7:40
  These are really cool. These are cottages.
• 7:43
  So everybody's here and we're having a good time.
• 7:46
  And I went where's Cup series? Where's Cup series running this
• 7:51
  week? I don't even know.
• 7:54
  It's hard to keep up with everything.
• 7:56
  Just when you think you know everything, you don't.
• 8:00
  Hey, I got a lot of friends that know everything.
• 8:02
  Just ask them. Everybody have a great, great
• 8:08
  Thursday.
