  I've got a song on my mind. I've
• 0:04
  seen fire and I've seen rain. I've
• 0:07
  seen sunny days that I thought would never end.
• 0:12
  Sometimes if you don't know the
• 0:14
  words, you still sing it. Because
• 0:17
  that's what makes you feel good. Plus
• 0:19
  everybody make fun of you. That
• 0:21
  ain't the words and you're like, I know. Don't
• 0:23
  matter. Still sing the song. All
• 0:26
  right. Coffee with Kenny this morning.
• 0:29
  Parents by Louie. Louie
• 0:30
  the legend. The scoring pylon at Tel Aviva.
• 0:35
  I know all about it. Want
• 0:38
  to thank Denny Hamlin for complaining all the time?
• 0:43
  Denny Hanglin. Oh,
• 0:46
  yeah. How about, oh, Denny, I never
• 0:49
  saw that coming. I need to get him on Kenny
• 0:52
  Conversation and say, what's the story behind this new
• 0:56
  Denny Hamlin? But anyway, the scoring pylon
• 0:59
  at Tel Aviva. The scoring pylon, as we know,
• 1:05
  is so old, so old. And they kept it up so long
• 1:10
  that they couldn't find light bulbs for this damn
• 1:14
  thing. They searched all over the
• 1:17
  world. And they were barely keeping
• 1:20
  them lit up. You would see during the races
• 1:22
  that somewhere out, and you're like, they need to
• 1:25
  put a new light bulb in that damn scoring pylon.
• 1:29
  Well, come over to last year,
• 1:30
  they couldn't find any. So the scoring pylon down
• 1:34
  towards turn one, right at the start finish line at
• 1:37
  Tel Aviva, is so old that they literally quit making
• 1:41
  the light bulbs for it. So we know that. But
• 1:45
  then I thought to myself, there's so many lead
• 1:50
  changes that how the hell could you even keep the
• 1:53
  scoring pylon up there? I mean, I'll admit, I agree
• 1:57
  with Denny Hamlin. There's times I'd come. My
• 2:00
  god, I've ran a lot of races at Tel Aviva. You
• 2:03
  know, under the caution, you look up there, it kind
• 2:05
  of gives you that good ego. Hey,
• 2:07
  look at there. There's my number. I'm
• 2:09
  big damn. I'm on a scoring pylon. But
• 2:13
  that's son of a bitch. There's
• 2:15
  25 lead changes in one lap. So
• 2:20
  anyway, they tore it down. Oh
• 2:23
  my god, the outcry. They ruined Tel Aviva. The
• 2:27
  scoring pylon is gone. What?
• 2:31
  I say I nut believe that's that old redneck thing I
• 2:34
  do, because all my buddies down around Charlotte, you
• 2:37
  get down around those fish camps. You
• 2:39
  know, they got these fish camps. You
• 2:40
  get them. Fish camps in North Carolina,
• 2:44
  it's down or in between. It's
• 2:45
  in the back roads. And those boys, their country's
• 2:47
  all hell. And they go like this. They
• 2:49
  say, instead of saying, I cannot believe that, they
• 2:53
  go, I nut believe it's a shortcut. Instead
• 2:57
  of saying, I cannot believe. So
• 2:58
  that's why I get that. I nut believe they take the
• 3:02
  scoring pylons down at Tel Aviva. So
• 3:11
  what they've done is they brought in these really
• 3:13
  nice, big screens. And all the fans can see them.
• 3:17
  And they work on both sides.
• 3:19
  So even the fans from the
• 3:20
  inside can see it. So basically, it's like this.
• 3:25
  They brought in these new LED
• 3:27
  kick ass. There's the running orders on both
• 3:31
  sides. They're really good. You
• 3:33
  can really see them. But change is hard. I
• 3:38
  nut believe they took my scoring pylons down. How
• 3:42
  should I go? Hey, this is something for me
• 3:45
  to bitch about. Hey. So anyway, that's the
• 3:51
  story. They could not find the light
• 3:54
  bulbs anymore. The son of a bitch was so
• 3:56
  old. That's like keeping a computer
• 3:59
  over 10 years. It finally just goes, oh, it's
• 4:03
  working. And believe it or not, I don't
• 4:07
  know about you all. But how about these new light
• 4:09
  bulbs? You know when you go to buy
• 4:12
  these light bulbs now, have you ever seen them? I'm
• 4:14
  sure you all have. You go to Home Depot or
• 4:15
  Lowe's. You get these light bulbs and
• 4:17
  they got this little switch on. You
• 4:19
  buy one light bulb and you can make that son of a
• 4:22
  bitch 60 watt, 100 watt, whatever watt you want.
• 4:26
  It's kind of cool because I
• 4:28
  think it saves money, right? Instead
• 4:29
  of buying all the different wattage, you just buy one
• 4:33
  light bulb, the little switches there, and you
• 4:35
  make it go 100 watt, 60 watt. So
• 4:37
  instead of having all these light bulbs, you just got
• 4:39
  one light bulb. All right, listen, I need you
• 4:42
  to respond right here. What's
• 4:49
  my new nickname for Denny Hamlin? Not
• 4:52
  Debbie Downer. Something like Denny Downer. That's
• 4:57
  it. That's my new nickname for Denny.
• 4:59
  Or we should, Denny Hamlin, he
• 5:04
  should be that deal where like unions, you know,
• 5:09
  where you go and you state all your complaint. You
• 5:12
  know, my family's not doing good. Human
• 5:15
  resources. Denny Hamlin is the new, he's
• 5:18
  Denny Downer. Denny Downer. Denny
• 5:22
  Downer. Wah, wah, wah. The
• 5:25
  scoreboard's gone. I hate man's car. And
• 5:28
  Denny will also be in charge of human resources
• 5:31
  from now on. Denny, my dad's sick and I'm just
• 5:36
  upset about it. Well, son, let me tell you what
• 5:38
  to do.
