  Happy Saturday morning, Kim said.
• 0:08
  I heard you in the basement. So she took that Halloween
• 0:12
  wreath down. OK, where's the where's the
• 0:16
  Thanksgiving wreath? Yeah, I know.
• 0:19
  I guess this is just wear and tear.
• 0:22
  Our dogs don't do that. I don't know what that is.
• 0:24
  I think it's just maybe sun coming through.
• 0:27
  We got to get that restained all right, It's a it's a beautiful
• 0:32
  day, said It's a beautiful day, said Herman Munster.
• 0:41
  It's raining. All right, breaking news in the
• 0:44
  garage area, big news out of Phoenix.
• 0:49
  First of all, let's start with the big one, Michael Jordan and
• 0:54
  at 2311 team that he owns him and Denny Hamlin and Front row
• 0:59
  Motorsport. They are O and three, everybody.
• 1:04
  You know, this is a strange phenomenon because you know, you
• 1:08
  know, you thought they might have had something, but you go
• 1:11
  back to all my videos. I'm right again, Herman's right
• 1:15
  again. And like I say, it's not
• 1:19
  important for me to be right. It doesn't doesn't do me any
• 1:23
  good, but when I'm right all the time like I am, it makes me look
• 1:29
  good. I hate it for him.
• 1:32
  But I said, man, be careful. NASCAR's got friends in
• 1:36
  Washington, DC. They know what they're up to.
• 1:40
  Richard Petty and the gang, they tried this stuff years ago, but
• 1:45
  the injunction failed. The judge ruled yesterday, on
• 1:49
  Friday. So right now, Michael Jordan,
• 1:53
  2311 in front row, they are. Oh, and three, it means they
• 1:57
  have tried to go against NASCAR while they sued them three times
• 2:01
  and they've lost all three times.
• 2:03
  Now, the lawsuit still goes on, but the injunction did not
• 2:07
  happen. They are not allowed to keep
• 2:11
  their charter if this court case keeps going in the next year.
• 2:17
  So once once January 1st hits, they do not have an they do not
• 2:23
  have a charter. And we've gone over this 1000
• 2:25
  times. What is a charter?
• 2:28
  A charter means that you make a lot more money in NASCAR and
• 2:32
  you're locked in every race. So it's still going to court.
• 2:37
  It's calm down. I know, my God, it's still going
• 2:41
  to court. But if you read the papers, it's
• 2:44
  they're not going after anything.
• 2:46
  They just want NASCAR to redo their charter system.
• 2:50
  They just feel like the teams need more money.
• 2:54
  But right now 2311 and front row sent out a beautiful comment.
• 3:00
  It basically says, hey, full steam ahead.
• 3:03
  We're going to Daytona with a charter without.
• 3:06
  And I'm like, damn, that means they got to qualify.
• 3:10
  That means if there's 43 cars, they only start in 40 and you
• 3:15
  know 9 times out of 10 they're going to make every race because
• 3:19
  here's why there's not that many teams in NASCAR.
• 3:24
  It's it's very expensive to buy a car.
• 3:29
  Those cars are a lot of money. We're talking like 350 grand,
• 3:34
  250 grand over 1/4 of $1,000,000.
• 3:37
  OK, so nobody's lined up to buy a car and go to Daytona.
• 3:42
  Joe Bob here in Saint Louis is not going to spend 250 grand on
• 3:46
  a car and then put a motor in it.
• 3:49
  Now we're 350 and, and, and go to Daytona cost a lot of money.
• 3:54
  So 2311 in front row, they just going to miss out on a lot of
• 3:59
  money. And but they're going to have a
• 4:01
  lot of heartache because when they go to Daytona, they're not
• 4:05
  going to have a charter. And that means they got to put a
• 4:07
  lot of effort into qualifying. But if only 40 cars show up,
• 4:13
  then they're they're locked in and, and I assume every single
• 4:16
  race next year there will not be over 40 cars.
• 4:19
  I'm making that call right now. I'm making that call right now,
• 4:22
  but who knows, because I know RFK, Brad Keselowski and them
• 4:28
  they're talking about starting another team.
• 4:30
  So if RFK, you know, Roush Fenway, Keselowski, if they
• 4:36
  start another team, that means more cars.
• 4:38
  So I don't know, let's let's watch that.
• 4:42
  Let's watch that. Let's see if more cars come into
• 4:46
  NASCAR. So you know, hey, I'm a I'm a
• 4:49
  crack a little joke right now. NASCAR is doing so bad that Brad
• 4:54
  Keselowski going to start another team up.
• 4:56
  Boy, NASCAR, we're losing so much money that we going to
• 5:00
  start another team up, says Brad Keselowski.
• 5:04
  Then you got, then you got these guys over here suing NASCAR
• 5:08
  because they say it's a monopoly.
• 5:09
  So listen, I understand Denny Hamlin and I understand Michael
• 5:15
  Jordan. They just want a bigger piece of
• 5:17
  the pie and I'm not condemning them whatsoever.
• 5:20
  I, I said that these guys are great athletes.
• 5:24
  They're used to dealing with, you know, other sports.
• 5:27
  So anyway, I just brought you up to date.
• 5:29
  The injunction did not go through.
• 5:31
  I gave you my opinion what that means.
• 5:34
  I cracked a couple jokes, you know, So that's that.
• 5:39
  All right, Let's take a drink of coffee yesterday in Phoenix.
• 5:45
  It was the State of the Union address by NASCAR.
• 5:48
  They do it every year. Steve O'Donnell and Steve
• 5:54
  Phelps, the two Steves, they they rule NASCAR.
• 5:58
  And Steve O'Donnell said, I might get in trouble saying
• 6:02
  this, but what happened at Martinsville really pissed
• 6:04
  NASCAR off. Pissed me off, is what he said.
• 6:07
  That's what Steve O'Donnell said.
• 6:10
  OK, I didn't say that. Steve O'Donnell said what
• 6:13
  happened? That Martinsville really pissed
• 6:16
  us off, meaning NASCAR. And here's why.
• 6:20
  Because the race was perfect until until all the blocking,
• 6:25
  the riding, the wall happened and then NASCAR had to respond
• 6:29
  to what the drivers did. Now NASCAR said we had a big
• 6:33
  phone call with the automakers, not OEM.
• 6:38
  Think he might have used that. So NASCAR did have a meeting
• 6:45
  with the with the automakers and told him you're done.
• 6:49
  Quit that stuff. We got all the audio.
• 6:52
  We hear you all. We see you all.
• 6:54
  I said it on coffee with Kenny yesterday.
• 6:57
  I said it on coffee with Kenny yesterday.
• 6:59
  NASCAR's got their own TV building.
• 7:02
  They can hear everything you all are saying now.
• 7:04
  So they going to start doing hand signs.
• 7:06
  When your driver comes off the corner, a guy's going to be at
• 7:09
  the dorm. You know what that mean, right?
• 7:13
  Did you see me? NASCAR can hear and see
• 7:17
  everything now because they got their own TV building down there
• 7:21
  and everybody's heard about that new TV communications building.
• 7:24
  So NASCAR is able to run through everything.
• 7:27
  Guys aren't hiding anymore. Racing Electronics is not going
• 7:31
  to provide you a separate channel and all that.
• 7:34
  And even if you do, they still can see what's up.
• 7:40
  They said today, right now, today, Saturday, they're going
• 7:43
  to have a big powwow with the drivers.
• 7:46
  And I think they've already made that message.
• 7:48
  I think everybody knows what NASCAR is going to say.
• 7:51
  Steve O'Donnell says they're going to tell the drivers, don't
• 7:55
  even listen to anybody anymore. That was your that was your one
• 7:58
  chance. NASCAR said the reason they did
• 8:01
  not find Ross Chastain, Bubba Wallace or Austin Dillon, the
• 8:07
  reason they didn't find them is because they're being told what
• 8:11
  to do by the automakers and their spotters.
• 8:14
  And the drivers are just doing what they're told to do because
• 8:17
  that's that's who they get paid. They get paid by the automakers.
• 8:22
  The automakers pays Richard Childerson.
• 8:24
  Richard pays his grandson Austin.
• 8:27
  So you you follow the money and the drivers are doing what
• 8:30
  they're told to do. So they said.
• 8:33
  But this was their only warning. They're not giving the drivers a
• 8:38
  break ever again. And that's what they said.
• 8:43
  Yeah. I think in ending, I want to
• 8:47
  congratulate Time Majeski. How about that Time Majeski wins
• 8:51
  the Truck Championship. He is the most hardcore, winning
• 8:57
  a short track driver. So Time Majeski wins the Truck
• 9:02
  Championship. His story's incredible.
• 9:04
  After the race, Time Majeski goes to the Media Center.
• 9:07
  Now, this guy, Time Majeski's won every short track race there
• 9:11
  is. There's no more for him to do.
• 9:13
  I want to ask him. I said, Manny, how come you
• 9:16
  ain't moving up the the chain? How come you know in an Xfinity
• 9:19
  series at least. And he just kind of shrugged his
• 9:21
  head. This guy as he's kind of like a
• 9:24
  Stewart freezing. Stewart freezing wins all in
• 9:28
  dirt races. Stewart freezing goes back to
• 9:30
  run the center steer mods up there in New York.
• 9:32
  And I mean just thrashes him. He just did it.
• 9:36
  Stewart Freezing goes and wins another 50 grand to win starting
• 9:39
  starting last and he's still in the Truck Series.
• 9:44
  Time Majeski wins everything there is and he's still in the
• 9:48
  in the Truck Series. But time Majeski story I got, I
• 9:53
  got I got an end like this. Ty says I win like the 2020
• 9:57
  snowball Derby, like he wins the biggest short track race ever
• 10:01
  and you're figuring Dale Junior, somebody's going to call this
• 10:05
  guy Thor sports, the big truck team.
• 10:09
  They call him. They don't offer him a ride.
• 10:11
  They said, would you like to be our truck engineer?
• 10:17
  They call it 2020 Snowball Derby champion.
• 10:22
  They call him and they say, hey, would you like to come work for
• 10:25
  us? We need an engineer.
• 10:28
  So kids, let this be a lesson. He was a diamond in the rough.
• 10:35
  And look at that. A diamond is like a rock.
• 10:37
  And then when you get it, you cut on it.
• 10:39
  You Polish it up. And that's what happened with
• 10:41
  time Majeski, he bet on the come and and the betting on the come
• 10:46
  means I think I'll go take this engineering job and I might get
• 10:50
  in one of those trucks and look at him now.
• 10:54
  So sometimes when you're trying to get to the top, you got to
• 10:57
  start at the bottom. So congratulations to Ty
• 11:00
  Majeski, one hell of a race car driver.
• 11:03
  So and yes, I picked Corey Heim to win it.
• 11:07
  I picked Corey Heim to win it. I'm not going to apologize.
• 11:11
  I was not wrong, I just wasn't right.
• 11:15
  He he he messed up. He he started 5th and I guess he
• 11:19
  he when you when you pass this, here's the rule.
• 11:23
  I know this rule. You've got to get past the start
• 11:26
  finish line before you pull out a line.
• 11:29
  What Corey Hine did is he pulled out a line before the start
• 11:34
  finish line and NASCAR, NASCAR don't like that short track
• 11:38
  stuff where everybody's every which way you you got to go past
• 11:42
  the start finish line in line unless somebody misses a shift
• 11:46
  or they can really see. So he pulled out a line.
• 11:49
  He went from 5th to 3rd and they put him to the back of the pack
• 11:53
  and but he Corey was not going to win the championship.
• 11:56
  He was not fast enough. He said that Corey Hynes said
• 12:00
  that he was 2/10 slower every lap than time Majeski time
• 12:05
  Majeski flat with their butts. All right, everybody, I broke it
• 12:10
  all down. I think I, I told you about the
• 12:12
  big meeting, told you about the big lawsuit.
• 12:17
  I told you about the injunction with Michael Jordan.
• 12:20
  I told you why what I told you about NASCAR saying, listen, we
• 12:25
  like the playoff system. NASCAR said we'd like this
• 12:28
  playoff system. And we hear you all out there
• 12:31
  complaining that Kyle Lars is not in.
• 12:34
  They hear you. But it's a playoff system, guys,
• 12:38
  you know, and Kyle just didn't go through the playoff system.
• 12:41
  Hard to have the winningest driver in the Final Four if he
• 12:46
  didn't make it through the playoff system.
• 12:49
  All right, whoa, this is a long one.
• 12:51
  NASCAR is the gift that just keeps giving.
• 12:54
  Once again, it's a beautiful day, said Herman Munster.
