  Happy Monday morning, everybody. It's Monday.
• 0:08
  It's Monday, all right. We got a 19 degrees, 19° and
• 0:18
  it's snowy. Everybody's stuck everywhere.
• 0:23
  Fox 2 crew stuck in the snow. All right we going to talk about
• 0:33
  snow today how we better than everybody and we can drive in
• 0:39
  the snow. Is that all of you?
• 0:44
  So once again, you know, wake up get my coffee.
• 0:50
  Think to myself I don't have anything to say today on coffee
• 0:53
  with Kenny. Then I start watching this and
• 0:56
  I'm thinking, Yep, I got a lot to say.
• 1:01
  So, you know, all the racers, all of you, you, all of us tough
• 1:07
  guys, we're like, we can drive in that snow because we're
• 1:11
  special. We're way different than all the
• 1:14
  other dummies. We can drive in the snow.
• 1:19
  So, Oh my God, my dad, Russ dad would live for this.
• 1:27
  I mean, when it would snow like this, we just how many of you
• 1:31
  out there just wanted, you wanted Armageddon, you do, you
• 1:36
  wanted snow destruction. So, you know, all the bread and
• 1:40
  the milk would be gone. All the schools would be closed
• 1:44
  down. Everybody just be paralyzed.
• 1:48
  Hey, be careful what you ask for, because right now that's
• 1:52
  the way it is in Saint Louis. We're pretty tough around here
• 1:56
  and we're used to this snow, but we got the we got all the the
• 2:01
  ice, you know, and it's 19° with a wind chill of six and all that
• 2:08
  stuff that they use, it just ain't working.
• 2:11
  So I'll never forget back in back in the 82, we had a snow
• 2:19
  that was just unbelievable. And I, you know, I was full of
• 2:23
  piss and vinegar and I'm like, I'm going to get to work.
• 2:26
  I will get to work. I'm Kenny Wallace, race car
• 2:29
  driver. Hell, I don't think I'd even
• 2:32
  raced yet. Of course I got up that morning,
• 2:36
  you know, and when you're young, you're going to you're going to
• 2:39
  win the world because there's nobody better than me.
• 2:42
  Nobody can drive in this snow except me because I'm special.
• 2:47
  How many of you kids out there are thinking that right now?
• 2:50
  I'm special. Nobody else will get to work
• 2:53
  except me. So anyway, I mean, it was, it
• 2:58
  was like it was just, there was nothing.
• 3:01
  I, I took off and I made it to work.
• 3:07
  I mean, it was like a foot of snow or more.
• 3:09
  I made it to work. But guess what happened when I
• 3:12
  got to work? Nobody was there and nobody and
• 3:18
  nobody was there all day long. So be careful trying to be the
• 3:23
  hero, you know, thinking you're going to get to work and join
• 3:26
  all your coworkers. You'll get to work and you'll be
• 3:30
  the dummy because no, nobody will be there.
• 3:33
  So and, and, and in my case, I got to work and I couldn't even
• 3:38
  get in the work because I had no keys because I was just low
• 3:42
  class worker. I I didn't have the keys to get
• 3:45
  into the business because it wasn't my business.
• 3:48
  So sometimes the joke's on all of you.
• 3:51
  You know, when you're young, I'm going to get to work and you get
• 3:54
  there and you can't get into work and then there's nobody
• 3:58
  there. So that's one of my stories.
• 4:01
  Respond right here. How many of you people just
• 4:04
  thought you was big time? You was going to get to work?
• 4:08
  All right, never forget this story.
• 4:12
  This this one's wild. So brother Rusty and and Patty,
• 4:17
  his wife snowing Rusty's got this.
• 4:22
  I don't know 1973 on the tree straight 6.
• 4:26
  So you know the ones on the tree on on the steering column three,
• 4:32
  you know, speed shifter years ago used to have.
• 4:39
  So Rusty tells me this story. We have a, we have a hill here
• 4:44
  on Old Lee May Ferry Rd. So he, we got Old Lee May Ferry
• 4:48
  Road and you got this big hill. It's called Burkhard Farms,
• 4:52
  Burkhard Farms. It's basically Burkhard farm
• 4:55
  people. They own all the property and we
• 4:59
  just call that Burkhard Farms, the hill on Old Lee May Ferry.
• 5:04
  Rusty, he comes down the hill and of course he's a race car
• 5:07
  driver. So that means he's special, you
• 5:10
  know, because race car drivers are they're better than anybody
• 5:12
  and they everybody else is in their way.
• 5:17
  So rusty comes down the hill and he goes to make a right.
• 5:21
  He goes to make the right and and can't make the right because
• 5:24
  it's ice, It's it's snow. But remember, he's special
• 5:27
  because he's a race car driver. He can't make the right and it
• 5:32
  starts sliding, sliding down into big ass.
• 5:38
  I mean, we're talking 30 foot a hole.
• 5:40
  It's a Creek and and stuck in there and flips over.
• 5:47
  True story. Rusty panics now rusting and
• 5:51
  Patty are in this, this, you know, 70, you know, Chevelle
• 5:56
  truck, you know, flips over. Rusty panics gets out, gets to
• 6:03
  the top and then goes, oh shit, Patty's still down there.
• 6:10
  So Rusty and all his glory. Now Rusty tells this story and
• 6:15
  he flips over and he's so it's, he's shocked, It's unbelievable.
• 6:21
  And he gets out, gets the top, realizes Patty's, so he goes
• 6:26
  back down, gets his wife. So the moral of story, everybody
• 6:33
  I see, I see a lot of bad asses out there.
• 6:37
  I'm better than anybody. I can drive in the snow and
• 6:42
  they're stuck this morning. Be careful.
• 6:46
  I've done it. I've done it.
• 6:50
  You know, listen, you know now they got all these front wheel
• 6:54
  drives and those front wheel drives.
• 6:58
  If it's only a front wheel drive, you'll get step.
• 7:01
  You get stuck in a heartbeat. You got to have 4 wheel drive.
• 7:04
  I don't see very many of these from look here got tractor
• 7:07
  trailer stuck going strike. That guy stuck going strike.
• 7:15
  Oh, never forget we the Kmart shut down up the road and now
• 7:22
  respond what your stories right here tell me how great you
• 7:26
  thought you were. I'm the greatest I can drive in
• 7:30
  the snow and yes, it's stuck. I went up to the one of my
• 7:35
  specialties was raise your hand. Raise your hand if and I'm
• 7:41
  raising my hand, we go up to the Kmart parking lot when I was a
• 7:45
  kid and just do Donuts. Wow.
• 7:50
  Well I had this whole they call them Gtos back in the day and it
• 7:55
  was pretty junky car. I had a couple junky car.
• 7:58
  I call them beaters. Raise your hand if you had a
• 8:00
  beater, did you have a beater? A beater is like I'd move trash
• 8:04
  cans with it. It was my old car, barely
• 8:08
  insured. But anyway, I I'm doing the
• 8:13
  Donuts and then there's a snow pile and I'm going to go.
• 8:15
  I'm just going to smash through the snow pile.
• 8:18
  Yeah, I got stuck on top of the snow pile.
• 8:23
  All right, everybody, I told you a couple of my stories, but
• 8:26
  especially you races out there. You the greatest, right?
• 8:29
  You the greatest. We run dirt.
• 8:31
  We're dirt racers. We don't get stuck in the snow.
• 8:36
  All right, everybody, take it easy out there.
• 8:39
  Now take it easy. I know you're the greatest of
• 8:42
  all time, but you're still gonna get stuck, you dumbass.
