  I was laughing because I think I sat on these glasses and they're
• 0:06
  crooked. And I was going to, I was going
• 0:09
  to try to straighten these glasses out.
• 0:11
  So, you know, so it's all perfect, everything.
• 0:14
  And I said I'll let it fly. I'll let the glasses be crooked.
• 0:20
  That's me. OK.
• 0:25
  Subject of the day. Subject of the day the the
• 0:32
  disease. It is a disease.
• 0:36
  Before I start on this subject, I want to say this.
• 0:41
  I'm not going to ever say their names, but I've had winners and
• 0:44
  champions call me it because they're depressed and things
• 0:50
  aren't going good in their lives.
• 0:52
  And they call me and they go, Herman, man, I need you to help
• 0:55
  me feel better. And then we start talking.
• 0:58
  And my job in life is to make people feel better, make them
• 1:05
  feel better about themselves and make them feel happiness.
• 1:10
  Now these are some serious damn people, man.
• 1:12
  They've done 10 times what I've ever done.
• 1:15
  And they deal with depression and they deal with, they don't
• 1:20
  have the ability to be happy. And it does, it makes me very
• 1:24
  sad for them because it's, it's real.
• 1:26
  Either it's a chemical imbalance or it's something that happened
• 1:30
  earlier in the childhood. Man, 2 days ago, it got scary
• 1:37
  for me. I, I literally had to talk to
• 1:39
  somebody and man, I went in almost panic mode.
• 1:44
  So that that I wanted to let you know, and this is something I
• 1:50
  wanted to tell you. That way, when I talk to you
• 1:53
  about you, you'll understand that my ability is just a God's
• 2:03
  gift. I was just born like this.
• 2:05
  I was born happy. I, I don't know what it's like
• 2:09
  to look for all the bad that that is.
• 2:14
  That is something that struck me out.
• 2:15
  I'll be 62, August 23rd. Well, when I got around 56 years
• 2:21
  old, I said I'm going with it. I'm a weirdo.
• 2:24
  Hey, if being happy is weird, then so be it.
• 2:30
  And I've told people, and this is very important, don't get
• 2:35
  confused, me being happy and being silly.
• 2:41
  I'm a happy mother from a happy town.
• 2:45
  It's Hermanville, USA baby, right here.
• 2:49
  I've, I have, I lead. I lead a life where I wake up
• 2:54
  every morning. I'm like, OK, what's wrong?
• 2:56
  How can I fix it? Because I'm a leader.
• 2:59
  I fix. OK, Now let's talk about this
• 3:03
  phenomenon where we will not let NASCAR be good in our heads.
• 3:10
  We went through this with Mark the kid Martin out of
• 3:14
  Batesville, AR. Some people will not allow
• 3:20
  NASCAR to be good in their head no matter what.
• 3:27
  That some of you don't truly believe that NASCAR's not good.
• 3:34
  It's just that you don't know how to flip your switch to hey,
• 3:36
  man, everything's OK. Everything's OK, Nobody's dying.
• 3:41
  Like Ann Schrader said, calm down, nobody has cancer.
• 3:48
  This is a sport where cars race. I was thinking about that the
• 3:53
  other day, this new autonomous or whatever they call this
• 3:56
  vehicle where it's going to drive you around.
• 3:59
  I've had several very smart people say, Oh yeah, we need
• 4:02
  that 'cause there's there's a lot of people they don't know
• 4:04
  how to drive. I'm thinking, can you 100 years
• 4:09
  from now we'll be getting rid of the car and there will be no
• 4:13
  racing or what will we do? Will we have remote control
• 4:17
  racing as they say when they're talking to children?
• 4:22
  Hang in there, big boy. We'll get rid of the car all
• 4:25
  together. We won't even have in cars
• 4:29
  because everybody's so excited to get in a tube and let the
• 4:33
  tube drive you to where you want it to go.
• 4:35
  People, you know, in 100 years from now, I'll tell you what,
• 4:39
  it's very possible in 100 years from now that you won't even
• 4:44
  have to drive the car. And auto racing could be gone
• 4:47
  because driving of the car, the ability of driving the car is
• 4:51
  just over. Because everybody's so excited
• 4:53
  about this new anonymous, autonomous, whatever the fuck
• 4:57
  you call it, that vehicle that drives you around.
• 4:59
  You don't even drive it. Here's the moral of coffee with
• 5:03
  Kenny this morning. You're yes, you, yes, you.
• 5:09
  I'm talking to you. You're you're looking at me like
• 5:11
  well, he ain't talking to me. There's somebody.
• 5:13
  No, I'm talking to you. You have an inability.
• 5:17
  Inability means you you don't know how to be happy.
• 5:21
  You don't know how to like racing just freely and love it.
• 5:29
  I have some people yesterday going, NHRA is where it at?
• 5:33
  It's full access. I'm like, Oh yeah, I love NHRA.
• 5:39
  Except they don't have nobody watching the drag races.
• 5:43
  OK, now me and Don Pernon, we talk every day.
• 5:48
  Me and the snake, we talk every day.
• 5:50
  Yes we do. Nobody loves NHRA more than me.
• 5:55
  But when people come on my timeline and they go NHRA is the
• 5:59
  best. It's full access and I want to
• 6:01
  yell in her ear, I want to go. Then why doesn't anybody can go
• 6:05
  or watch it? That's your opinion.
• 6:08
  See, everything you do is you try to down NASCAR, but it's
• 6:11
  stupid. It it it it sounds so it's like,
• 6:15
  you know, like me. I only went one through 12, but
• 6:18
  there you talk sounds like a six year old like you talk stupid.
• 6:24
  It's just it's OK though, because it's good content for
• 6:26
  me. Then I had some people yesterday
• 6:31
  get me a super late Model dirt race all day long over NASCAR.
• 6:36
  Great, awesome. However, they're getting ready
• 6:41
  to shut down local super Late Model racing around here.
• 6:45
  You know why? Because nobody comes to races
• 6:50
  now. You're going to have your your
• 6:52
  Eldora's, you're going to have Knoxville, you're going to have
• 6:57
  the Granddaddy's. You know, it's kind of like
• 6:59
  Indy. It's kind of like IndyCar
• 7:01
  racing. You have the Indianapolis 500
• 7:04
  and then the rest of the races, it's like a ghost town.
• 7:08
  It it, it's like Connor Daley. Connor Daley, calm down, calm
• 7:12
  down, their own race car driver Connor Daley said on Speed St.
• 7:17
  He said they did a horrible job advertising Iowa and that's why
• 7:24
  there was nobody in the grandstands and nobody watching
• 7:26
  it. So my message to most of you
• 7:30
  this morning is this, I love you, but your inability you, you
• 7:38
  don't know how to love. You don't know how to like.
• 7:41
  You're angry now I love you, but you need to practice to like all
• 7:49
  things like me. I see.
• 7:51
  Here's the difference. I like everything.
• 7:53
  I don't talk bad about. I don't talk bad about IndyCar.
• 7:57
  I don't talk bad about dirt racing.
• 7:59
  I just go. Look, I know you've made it, but
• 8:03
  NASCAR is number 1 and you're going to have to deal with it
• 8:06
  now. You're going to go.
• 8:06
  I don't have to deal with nothing.
• 8:07
  I'm my own person. Well, yeah, but you're on a
• 8:10
  little bitty island and that's fine to be the fonts.
• 8:13
  Look at me. I'm cool.
• 8:14
  Look at me. I'm different than anybody.
• 8:16
  But nobody gives way. You think?
• 8:18
  All I know is that there's 2.1 million people watching these
• 8:21
  Cup races and maybe 500,000 watching an IndyCar race.
• 8:26
  Now I will admit I've been very cocky this morning.
• 8:29
  That's not me. When you see me out in real, I'm
• 8:31
  very nice. Just wanted to get my point
• 8:34
  across today. Have a great day.
