  Happy Thursday morning, everybody.
• 0:06
  The legend. Louie in the house.
• 0:11
  Oh, Louie's a good dog. He's had his treats this
• 0:14
  morning. He's sitting up there like a
• 0:16
  king. He's a good looking dog, ain't
• 0:19
  he? All right.
• 0:23
  Had the strangest thing happened to me yesterday.
• 0:26
  I almost called an emergency press conference yesterday, so
• 0:30
  I'm eating lunch and my phone rings and I I see it's Don.
• 0:35
  Now, I'm not going to tell you Don's last name and all that.
• 0:41
  Some might be able to figure it out, but most people aren't
• 0:45
  going to know. Don and I decide to answer while
• 0:50
  I'm eating lunch, just because I know Don.
• 0:54
  Don starts this conversation out with me, kind of floors me,
• 0:58
  shocks me. He goes, I don't want you to
• 1:02
  take this the wrong way. He says please don't take this
• 1:05
  the wrong way. He says it like 2 times.
• 1:07
  I'm thinking, man, what happened?
• 1:10
  He goes, what you just like. You just really like that
• 1:13
  racing, don't you? I mean, you're you're going to
• 1:15
  race your whole life. And I realized he's he's pissed.
• 1:24
  But then I immediately went into reverse psychology.
• 1:26
  I said, OK, you're not mad at me.
• 1:30
  You're mad at yourself for not having something to do.
• 1:33
  I said, well, what? What's wrong with you?
• 1:37
  Well, you're just going to be just like Tom.
• 1:39
  Now. You have to figure out who Tom
• 1:41
  is. You're going to be just like
• 1:43
  Tom. You're just going to race your
• 1:44
  whole life. And it dawned on me, this guy
• 1:49
  wanted to talk, but he was. He was taking it out on me.
• 1:55
  Don was mad at me because I like racing.
• 2:00
  And and first of all, I said to him, I said, listen, I said when
• 2:06
  I do social media, I only let you see what I want you to see.
• 2:11
  I do coffee with Kenny, I do the Kenny Wallace Show, you know, we
• 2:16
  do Kenny conversation. I said, buddy, there's a lot
• 2:20
  more to me than just that. Damn social media, I said.
• 2:23
  I go to Cabo. I go to Key Largo.
• 2:28
  I race my dirt car. I like massages.
• 2:32
  I get in my hot tub. I have my family.
• 2:36
  I have my grandbabies. I go on a Cal Petty charity
• 2:40
  ride. I go with Rusty and Steven, you
• 2:44
  know, to Daytona Bike Week. I go to Sturgis.
• 2:49
  There's a lot more to me than just running that old race car.
• 2:52
  So if you think all I'm going to do is run that race car all the
• 2:56
  time. So I had to go and I had to go
• 3:00
  into repair mode with this guy. He's mad at me because I like
• 3:09
  racing. And then I responded to him.
• 3:12
  I said, well, if you're pissed at me because you're mad, you're
• 3:15
  mad at me because I like racing and that's in your eyes.
• 3:18
  That's all I do, which is false. I do way more than just race, I
• 3:23
  said. Why don't you look at Richard
• 3:24
  Petty, I said. That son of a bitch is 87 years
• 3:27
  old and he's in a NASCAR Cup garage every week.
• 3:30
  Call him up. Chew his ass out.
• 3:33
  Now, the only reason that I had an inkling of what he's talking
• 3:40
  about is I've got a brother that's pissed at me because I
• 3:48
  like racing still. So I guess here's here's the
• 3:54
  bottom line. When you have a friend or you
• 4:00
  have a family member that really likes doing something, don't get
• 4:06
  mad at them because they like doing something and you don't
• 4:08
  got anything to do. All my son in
• 4:36
  It's easy for me to keep my shop clean because everything had its
• 4:39
  place. Has this place.
• 4:42
  Justin goes well, when I see this shop I see a a cornhole
• 4:46
  place. And I laughed and I was happy
• 4:49
  for him because I've sat down here on my big screen TV and me
• 4:57
  and Justin watch Real Cornhole Championships and I know he
• 5:01
  loves it and and see how I come across.
• 5:04
  I know he loves it. And Brody, Brody loves these
• 5:08
  outlaw carts. Loves it, I mean.
• 5:11
  And and then Jacob, my oldest son-in-law, he just loves being
• 5:15
  a really good dad. And he's a great golfer and he's
• 5:19
  a hell of an engineer. And when I see somebody that
• 5:24
  loves something, it doesn't annoy me like it does some of
• 5:27
  you. I'm happy for them.
• 5:30
  And it and it dawned on me that there goes that shaking stuff
• 5:34
  again. So it dawns on me that the
• 5:39
  people that get mad at people because they like something, it
• 5:42
  means their their life is incomplete.
• 5:45
  So if you're mad at me because I like racing so much, you need to
• 5:49
  find something to do. Now I could be mean.
• 5:53
  Go, you need to find a life, but you need to find something to
• 5:56
  do. Don't get mad at me because I
• 5:58
  like racing and furthermore, like coffee with Kenny that
• 6:03
  that's that much of my life. I do 8 minutes in the morning.
• 6:07
  Should I sit on the couch for an hour and a half?
• 6:09
  I got a full day today. I'm going to the dermatologist
• 6:13
  at 9:00, then at 10:30 I'm doing Kenny conversation with Ryan
• 6:18
  Blaney. Then when he's coming up here,
• 6:20
  we're going to decal the car. I got a lot of shit to do.
• 6:24
  So, you know, we'll be going to Cabo, we'll be going to Volusia
• 6:28
  to race. I mean, so there's way more to
• 6:31
  me than just running that old race car.
• 6:35
  So, Don, thank you for giving me good content because I got a
• 6:44
  brother that's pissed at me because all I do is race.
• 6:47
  But once again, I'm going to repeat myself.
• 6:50
  There's way more to Kenny Wallace than just racing.
• 6:56
  You can't race all the time. Once again, I'm going to tell
• 6:58
  you I was in the hot tub last night.
• 7:01
  I love massages. I go to Cabo for vacation.
• 7:05
  I go to Key Largo, I go on the Cow Petty charity ride.
• 7:10
  I go with Rusty to Sturgis. I go with Rusty to Bike Week.
• 7:14
  Then grandbabies keep me busy. I'm doing shit all the time with
• 7:19
  them babies. So there's there's just way more
• 7:21
  than me than that old race car. All right.
• 7:24
  Now I hope that hope this helps some people, but man, I'll tell
• 7:27
  you what I could tell that old boy was hurting and he felt
• 7:32
  here. Tony Stewart said it right.
• 7:35
  Tony Stewart, when you go to the local tracks and he has his pit
• 7:38
  area all marked off because he's famous.
• 7:43
  Tony Stewart looks to me and goes, you know her.
• 7:45
  He says nobody's afraid of you, they come up, they just chew
• 7:48
  your ass right out and said I know what's up with that.
• 7:51
  He goes, they feel comfortable around you.
• 7:54
  Tony's right. I have people that come up to me
• 7:56
  and chew my ass out. I have people that call me up
• 7:59
  and chew my ass out. What's up with that?
• 8:05
  I'm happy. I'm super happy.
• 8:08
  So you all, here's my advice to you.
• 8:11
  Find something to do and make yourself happy.
• 8:15
  That's what life's all about. We're put on earth to do things.
• 8:19
  I get excited to drink coffee. I get excited to go to the
• 8:23
  dermatologist. I'm excited to interview Damn
• 8:26
  Ryan by me at 10:30 and then I'm going to be really excited to
• 8:29
  eat lunch. Where am I going to eat lunch
• 8:31
  that day? And my car is getting decal
• 8:33
  today and I'm going to do a video of the car and thank all
• 8:36
  my sponsors and.
