• 2:29
  No, that's called the livery. No liver livers in in my body.
• 2:36
  You people, you get a little silly nowadays.
• 2:40
  I'm perfect. You know I'm perfect.
• 2:44
  You're dumb. I'm smart.
• 2:46
  Hey, Wallace. Wallace is dumb.
• 2:48
  I'm smart. All right, so Jeff Gordon and
• 2:55
  Tom Cruise going to make a movie about NASCAR.
• 2:59
  This is reported by Jenna Fryer. This is reported by Jenna Fryer.
• 3:04
  Not me. I read these things and then I
• 3:07
  give you my thoughts. So here's my thoughts.
• 3:13
  We always have to battle Formula One.
• 3:18
  So Formula One has got a, a movie and it's out like, like, I
• 3:23
  don't know if it's out, but it's coming attractions.
• 3:26
  Brad Pitt, they found, they found Brad Pitt and he made a
• 3:31
  good Formula One movie. And I feel like that right now
• 3:35
  we're in the business of whatever Formula One does.
• 3:39
  We need to do Formula One goes global.
• 3:42
  We need to be global. You know, Formula One's got new
• 3:48
  automakers. We need to have new automakers.
• 3:51
  You know, you see Chevrolet with Mario Andretti and some of the
• 3:56
  people that they got a new automaker.
• 3:57
  So it just seems like right now we're battling Formula One.
• 4:02
  So respond right here. What do you think about Jeff?
• 4:10
  Jeff, Hey, you know I'm Jeff Gordon in the black S S with a
• 4:15
  navigation Mama ER ER 0. I love Jeff.
• 4:22
  He's such a little badass. Got that little jacket he wears
• 4:24
  now keeps his midsection warm. It's like Jeff, you look, you
• 4:30
  look like mini me. You look like Rick Hendrick.
• 4:34
  Do your own deal, buddy. Hey, I'm a car owner.
• 4:37
  Well, here if you're a car owner, you have to wear one of
• 4:40
  these vest jackets because that's What Car owners do.
• 4:45
  Remind reminds me when I was a kid in NASCAR, if you was a crew
• 4:50
  chief, that meant you had to carry a a little briefcase.
• 4:55
  You look inside my briefcase. There might be I was like Dick
• 4:59
  Trickle. I said Dick Trickle.
• 5:00
  I said, trickle, let me see inside your little your little
• 5:03
  briefcase. He opened it up.
• 5:06
  He had like candy. Oh, no, I just I just carry the
• 5:11
  briefcase because that's what everybody does.
• 5:13
  So I'm just poking fun at my my dear friend Jeff Gordon.
• 5:17
  It's like Jeff never wore a damn vest in his life.
• 5:20
  And then all of a sudden he's he's helping.
• 5:24
  He's like the front man for Hendrick.
• 5:26
  You know, like Rick's getting of age.
• 5:29
  Hell it during the rain delay, during the rain delay for the
• 5:34
  Daytona 500, Rick Hendrick said, hell with this, I'm going home.
• 5:38
  So Rick got in his damn jet and flew home.
• 5:42
  Then he had to fly back because his car won the rice.
• 5:46
  So oh, oh, Rick Hendrick, like, hey, Jeff, I want you to be the
• 5:51
  front man here. You going to work for a living?
• 5:54
  You can pretend you're me, but you got to wear a vest just like
• 5:57
  I do. So Jeff Gordon is like mini me,
• 6:00
  Rick Hendrick now. All right.
• 6:04
  So I hope, I hope that when they make this Hollywood movie that
• 6:10
  Jeff, don't go Hollywood on us because they're goofy as hell
• 6:14
  out there. They're people in Hollywood.
• 6:17
  They're goofy people. Jeff, I know Tom Cruise is a
• 6:21
  good guy, but don't go don't go goofy.
• 6:24
  Don't don't let them pull you in their little cult out there.
• 6:27
  Those are some weirdos out there.
• 6:28
  And I think we all know that baby.
• 6:34
  I'm not fooling way down inside. All right.
• 6:42
  So I think we put that to bed. We got the Jeff Gordon and Tom
• 6:48
  Cruise going to make a Hollywood movie.
• 6:51
  Make a good one this time. Don't make a stupid one.
• 6:54
  Don't make a comedy. Why is it when Formula One makes
• 6:57
  a movie, it's it's like real, it's like digital.
• 7:01
  It's like about computers. Ours is about rednecks eating
• 7:05
  bananas. And we're we're we, I guess we
• 7:10
  are what we sew, right? We reap what we sow Is that what
• 7:14
  it is? Are we that redneck?
• 7:16
  Is it that obvious? Damn, I spent 7 minutes making
• 7:21
  making fun of Jeff Gordon in Hollywood movie.
• 7:25
  All right, what I really came on here to talk about very serious
• 7:31
  situation on actions detrimental yesterday.
• 7:37
  Denny Hamlin here. I'm going to Debold, all for
• 7:40
  you. OK, I'm going to give you my
• 7:42
  synopsis. Synopsis means I'm going to tell
• 7:45
  you what Denny said, but not exactly what he said.
• 7:49
  Denny Hamlin said I'm tired of NASCAR racing.
• 7:54
  All these young kids just wreck each other all the time.
• 7:59
  Denny said I'm at the end of my career.
• 8:02
  He said that. He said I'm at the end.
• 8:05
  That's fine. And he is.
• 8:06
  He's 40, a little over 40 years old now.
• 8:09
  So if he's going to stay on pace, Jeff Gordon, Jeff Burton,
• 8:16
  Tony Stewart, Bobby Labonte, all those guys have retired like at
• 8:20
  42 years old. I don't know what that was all
• 8:23
  about, but that was even Clint Boyer.
• 8:26
  I asked Clint. I said, Clint, why?
• 8:28
  Why don't you even race anything anymore?
• 8:30
  You're only like 45 years old. He says, man, this is what Clint
• 8:35
  told me at Sturgis. He said, I've I've been racing
• 8:39
  since I've been a kid. He said, I, you know, I guess
• 8:42
  he's right. If you start racing at 16,
• 8:45
  you've had enough at 40. But if you start racing at 20,
• 8:48
  you're still racing at 50. So I guess Denny Hamlin has had
• 8:53
  enough. He was very disappointed in, he
• 8:57
  said he likes Cole Custer, but Cole Custer just beat the hell
• 9:01
  out of him during the Daytona 500 and he approached Cole.
• 9:06
  He said, Cole, what the hell is wrong with you?
• 9:08
  What? What will you keep turning the
• 9:09
  left on me? Why keep wrecking me?
• 9:15
  So Denny Hamlin on actions detrimental said everybody just
• 9:19
  keeps wrecking each other and I'm tired of it.
• 9:21
  And it's a really good one. It's about an hour and 19
• 9:24
  minutes. He said he woke up.
• 9:27
  He said he woke up feeling like a Clint Eastwood.
• 9:31
  Get the hell off my lawn. Denny Hamlin has had enough.
• 9:37
  Now, I can tell you how I know Denny's had enough because he
• 9:40
  slept on it. He went to sleep, he went to
• 9:44
  bed. He was awake at 4:20 AM Monday
• 9:48
  morning and he he texted the boys at Dirty MO and he went to
• 9:54
  bed and he was still pissed. You know when you're mad and
• 9:58
  they say calm down, just sleep on it.
• 10:02
  Then he slept on it and he's still pissed.
• 10:06
  So but then the the guy sitting next to him says, but you're a
• 10:11
  car owner. He said, Oh yeah, I'm a car
• 10:14
  owner. He says I'm looking out for the
• 10:15
  sport. I've had enough.
• 10:19
  I don't he I don't think he's going to get in trouble with
• 10:23
  NASCAR whatsoever because I listened to it and he didn't
• 10:26
  berate NASCAR. He didn't say anything about
• 10:28
  Elton Sawyer. He didn't say anything bad about
• 10:31
  NASCAR. He said I've had enough of this.
• 10:34
  He says, y'all driving like a bunch of fools wrecking each
• 10:37
  other. He said I've learned my art and
• 10:39
  craft. He said I spent 20 years
• 10:42
  studying Dale Earnhardt Junior's drafting techniques, Tony
• 10:46
  Stewart's drafting techniques. He says, oh, you know, he here's
• 10:49
  what I say. He won 3 Daytona, 5 hundreds
• 10:52
  with art and his craft. I say that.
• 10:57
  Now, let's go back to what Denny said.
• 10:59
  Denny says that these guys just knocked the hell out of each
• 11:01
  other and Denny's just disappointed.
• 11:05
  Here's what Denny said. I'm going to end like this.
• 11:07
  Everybody. If you agree with Denny Hamlin,
• 11:10
  respond right here. Denny Hamlin said it's all luck
• 11:14
  right now. When you go to Daytona and
• 11:17
  Talladega, it's all luck. He says, listen, you know, you
• 11:23
  know what will he be William Byron?
• 11:25
  He says, what do you think they're thinking right now?
• 11:28
  He said he said he hates it for Willie B because him winning the
• 11:32
  Daytona 500 is fake. It really diminishes it.
• 11:39
  So I I told you this was a synopsis.
• 11:43
  I'm not quoting Danny all the time.
• 11:45
  You can go listen to it. So before Danny calls me Danny,
• 11:48
  how this is a synopsis, don't get pissed at me.
• 11:51
  Basically, you know, you got to get lucky to win.
• 11:57
  So Denny, Denny's got a point. Hey, when you're running 8th in
• 12:04
  the Daytona 500 on the last corner and seven cars in front
• 12:09
  of you wreck and you win, you're lucky.
• 12:13
  But, but, but you did pretty good because you survived and,
• 12:19
  and you made it to the end. So Denny's had enough everybody.
• 12:24
  I think that's going to be the title.
• 12:26
  Jeff Gordon's going to make a Hollywood movie, and Denny
• 12:29
  Hamlin's had enough. All right, everybody, respond
• 12:34
  right here. Will Hollywood make a real movie
• 12:37
  this time? Are they going to make a movie
• 12:40
  about us eating a bunch of bananas?
• 12:46
  Oh my God, what a what a coffee with Kenny.
• 12:49
  This was Happy Tuesday, everybody.
