  Wednesday morning, everybody, it's a it's a somber day.
• 0:10
  We are remembering the victims that lost their life in those
• 0:15
  twin towers in New York, 911 as they say, never forget 'cause if
• 0:22
  we ever forget that means we did not learn a lesson.
• 0:28
  That's why we say never forget. Man, Kim and myself and some
• 0:36
  friends, we went up to New York and we visited the memorial site
• 0:42
  and went down. I don't know how many levels
• 0:47
  down, but boy, I tell you what, you all somebody, if you haven't
• 0:53
  gone there, go and and you'll know why they say never forget.
• 1:00
  So that's today. Never forget how great America
• 1:05
  is. Well, right.
• 1:10
  How about the debate last night? Man, oh man, I tell you what
• 1:14
  around, I don't know, around 7:30 I went Nate late.
• 1:22
  I went to Chili's. They got a bowl at Chili's that
• 1:27
  I really like. It's called Fresh Mex Bowl is
• 1:32
  what I call it. It's really good.
• 1:34
  Grilled chicken got some things mixed in it.
• 1:37
  But what I noticed was that all the restaurants were way less
• 1:42
  busier than they normally are. So for all of you that aren't
• 1:46
  into politics, you're lying. I don't watch that stuff.
• 1:53
  I think the whole damn world was watching that debate.
• 1:56
  So I could tell by Texas Roadhouse on a Tuesday night
• 2:02
  packed, they go for the buttered rolls.
• 2:06
  Hey, why do you go to Texas Roadhouse?
• 2:08
  Oh, I like the buttered rolls. They consistent my steaks like
• 2:13
  this all the time. That's why I cut my steak and
• 2:16
  always look at it to make sure it's the same all the time.
• 2:21
  So Texas Roadhouse, everybody was like almost eerily empty.
• 2:28
  That was because of the debate on last night in the racing
• 2:34
  world, in the racing world. I, I found, I found it very odd
• 2:41
  that Hendrick and they're, they're Hendrick Motorsport.
• 2:48
  By the way, when I worked with TV, they jumped all of us.
• 2:53
  They told us it's not Hendricks. It's not a lot of Hendricks take
• 2:57
  the S off. It's, it's Hendrick.
• 3:01
  The stupid shit, right? The stupid shit throughout your
• 3:05
  life that people remind you of, it's not Hendricks, it's
• 3:10
  Hendrick. So Hendrick Motorsport, they
• 3:17
  announced yesterday on Tuesday that Kyle Larson is going to be
• 3:22
  doing the double next year. Makes you wonder why?
• 3:26
  Why did they announce it now? Well, it is in May May's, you
• 3:31
  know, January, February, March, April, May I get, you know, they
• 3:36
  start testing in April pretty much.
• 3:39
  So it is early in the year next year, I guess you could say.
• 3:44
  And it does take a long time to get ready for the Indy 500.
• 3:48
  So here we go again. Who will bitch and moan when the
• 3:55
  Indy 500 gets ring delayed and Kyle Larson does not get to the
• 4:04
  Coke 600? So here's what I'm going to say.
• 4:09
  Remember this, Kyle Larson received an exemption, right?
• 4:16
  He received one this year in 2023.
• 4:19
  So that means he'll receive another one.
• 4:22
  So I think it's that simple. You're asking yourself, what if
• 4:27
  it rains again and Kyle Larson cannot make it to the Coke 6000?
• 4:32
  It's pretty simple. He's going to get an exemption.
• 4:35
  So I would say simmer down and don't worry about it.
• 4:40
  Listen, Mr. Hendrick, no dummy. And I would say if it's that big
• 4:45
  of a deal, screw it, then don't run for the championship.
• 4:48
  Although, you know, Rick Hendrick is in charge of Kyle
• 4:54
  Larson. Kyle Larson works for him.
• 4:56
  So as far as worrying about that, I wouldn't even, I
• 4:59
  wouldn't even think about it. Kyle Larson is always going to
• 5:03
  drive for Hendrick. You know, they're, they're,
• 5:08
  they're part they, they got a charter.
• 5:10
  They signed up for the charter. Remember, the only holdouts we
• 5:13
  have is the 2311 group, which is Kenny Hamlin and Michael Jordan.
• 5:19
  And then of course the front row group, but everybody else has
• 5:23
  signed up. So Kyle Larson is good to go.
• 5:28
  But once again, I thought why they have that announcing that
• 5:31
  now. But I guess once the year's over
• 5:34
  that in that then Indy 500 comes up pretty quick.
• 5:38
  By the way, I must say that you know my experience of going to
• 5:43
  see the great AJ Foyt is something I will never forget.
• 5:48
  You all followed me to Indy this year.
• 5:50
  I went there a week before the Indy 500, had the time of my
• 5:54
  life, talked to AJ Foyt and like I say, I'm consistent.
• 6:00
  AJ fart. AJ Fart.
• 6:05
  That was funny. AJ Foyt.
• 6:08
  Hey Herman, get the shit out of your mouth.
• 6:12
  AJ Foyt, or as I would say AJ motherfucking Foyt.
• 6:17
  You always had to mother fuck when somebody's really a bad
• 6:20
  ass, right? I'd go to those Aerosmith
• 6:23
  concerts and they Steven fucking Tyler.
• 6:29
  So anyway, this is a case where I use the word fuck in a nice
• 6:33
  manner. See how nice it is?
• 6:36
  So he's a gnarly man. He is old school and my
• 6:42
  experience with AJ was one of the greatest of all time.
• 6:46
  He said to me when I first saw AJ, man, I don't like racing
• 6:51
  nowadays. They got all these damn
• 6:54
  engineers and I'm like, I hear you, AJ, man.
• 6:57
  I'll tell you what though, you would think, you would think
• 7:01
  that we would have lost AJ Foyt by now through everything he's
• 7:05
  been through. He's flipped that Caterpillar
• 7:08
  bull bulldozer, He's flipped it bees of attacking.
• 7:12
  He's been in bad wrecks and really, really incredible that
• 7:19
  AJ Foyt is still the man. He has such a bad ass.
• 7:23
  So anyway, I I think that's awesome.
• 7:26
  Respond right here. Do you think it's a bad idea
• 7:30
  that Kyle Larson is going to try to win the biggest race we have,
• 7:36
  the oldest race we have? Ray Haroon was the original
• 7:41
  winner, I think, I think Kyle Larson and Mr. H Rick Hendrick,
• 7:48
  I think their number one thing in life is NASCAR, but I think,
• 7:53
  I think their tie, they're tying with McLaren.
• 7:57
  You know, the, he's got so many dealerships.
• 7:59
  Rick Hendrick does. I think that's the tie in.
• 8:03
  It's, it's like, why is this so important to them?
• 8:05
  I I think McLaren and I think Mr. H and I think Kyle with
• 8:11
  Kyle, I think he just wants to get it right, right.
• 8:16
  He got what he have speed and pit Rd. last year, something
• 8:20
  like that. He wants to get it right.
• 8:23
  So with with Kyle arson, he wants one more shot at getting
• 8:27
  it right. And with, with, with Mr. H, with
• 8:29
  Rick, he's just got a huge tie in with McLaren.
• 8:32
  He's got what all those dealerships, you know, millions
• 8:35
  and millions of dollars. So I think it's important for
• 8:38
  both of them equally. I think it's more important for
• 8:42
  Mr. HI really do I think it's a big business opportunity.
• 8:46
  All right, everybody we cover covered it all.
• 8:48
  Let's remember 911 never forget and the debate.
• 8:56
  I imagine it the IT was big because all the restaurants were
• 9:00
  empty and Kyle Larson going for that Indy 501 more time.
• 9:07
  He's going to get an exemption if it rains out.
• 9:09
  So simmer down, simmer down. He's going to get an exemption
• 9:14
  if it rains out because he got one this year.
