  Hello everyone and welcome in This is a complete different
• 0:05
  installment of the Kenny Wallace Show.
• 0:07
  Kenny Conversation Coffee with Kenny.
• 0:11
  You're looking at both of us and it is a big deal for US, 100,000
• 0:18
  subscribers. Charlie Marlow, we are
• 0:21
  celebrating 100,000 subscribers and this was all your ideal.
• 0:28
  Tell me your thoughts on 100,000 well.
• 0:32
  Kenny, it was my idea. But look, let's be real, this is
• 0:35
  your channel. You were, you were made for
• 0:37
  YouTube. I, I will say this, when I
• 0:40
  started doing YouTube in 2021 and I was doing it for myself
• 0:43
  and sports and whatnot. And obviously I've known you for
• 0:46
  about what, 1415 years just around Saint Louis.
• 0:49
  And I, I remember I saw on Twitter, somebody said to you,
• 0:53
  Kenny, get a YouTube. And you said something like, I
• 0:56
  don't want to deal with it. And literally I was sitting on
• 0:58
  my couch over here that night and I looked at it and I'm like
• 1:02
  7-8 months into doing YouTube and I'm thinking Kenny Wallace
• 1:05
  is freaking made for YouTube and you and you really are.
• 1:10
  So the fact that you didn't have one at that point, I can't
• 1:13
  believe. And, and look, 2 1/2 years in
• 1:15
  100,000 subscribers. I think this channel matters in
• 1:19
  the NASCAR and racing world. And that's all because of you.
• 1:22
  I know you want to give me some credit and we credit Jags and
• 1:25
  all that Jags is fantastic. But man, this is this is you.
• 1:28
  It's your opinions, it's your perspective, it's you getting
• 1:31
  the big time drivers when you have your Kenny conversations,
• 1:35
  they feel comfortable with you, they open up to you.
• 1:38
  They give you comments that they don't give other media members.
• 1:41
  I, I truly mean that. I'm not just blowing smoke up
• 1:44
  your ass. So man, it's been fun.
• 1:46
  I mean, look, dude, this is my full time job.
• 1:48
  Who'd have thought? You know, I didn't even grow up
• 1:51
  a NASCAR fan and now I watch NASCAR more than anything and
• 1:54
  and this is my full time job running this whole platform.
• 1:57
  So it's fantastic. I thank you man, It's great.
• 2:00
  Charlie, you have changed my life, my family's life.
• 2:03
  They love you. You're you're married.
• 2:05
  With kids, I love them. Thank you, my boss when I worked
• 2:10
  at at Fox TV. You know, I always tell people,
• 2:14
  Fox out of LA, you know, Fox, you know, the World Series, the
• 2:18
  Super Bowl, those people, when I retired, they gave me a really
• 2:23
  nice, you know, plaque thanking me for being there.
• 2:27
  Because I kind of did shock myself and everybody.
• 2:30
  I quit TV 'cause I got tired of being on the road.
• 2:33
  But it was Steve Craddock, he said.
• 2:35
  I told you that you were meant for YouTube, Charlie.
• 2:40
  What do you think he meant by that?
• 2:42
  Am I edgy? Do do I go places that nobody
• 2:45
  goes? Why am I meant for YouTube?
• 2:48
  What's what it was he What did he meant by that?
• 2:50
  What do you all mean by that? First of all, I think you're
• 2:53
  authentic and I think people like that.
• 2:56
  They don't mind if you say something funny or controversial
• 2:59
  or swear. Look, you're joking around the
• 3:01
  last couple days about making a sex tape.
• 3:03
  And obviously we know you weren't really going to do it.
• 3:06
  But here's an art thing. And I, I truly believe this
• 3:09
  because I felt this a little bit too when you work in what I'd
• 3:13
  call corporate media. So I, I worked for local TV and
• 3:17
  and local radio. You just know, sometimes there
• 3:20
  are topics that you can't touch, right?
• 3:23
  That you have a boss, they control your money.
• 3:25
  You don't want to get in trouble.
• 3:27
  There's a topic, Oh, do I want to really give my opinion on
• 3:30
  that? And so I'm sure you felt that
• 3:32
  probably a little bit working with the big time network and I
• 3:35
  think YouTube, you can just be, you can be you and people either
• 3:39
  like you or they don't, but you can swear, you can be
• 3:42
  controversial. You can talk about topics that
• 3:45
  maybe aren't talked about in other platforms.
• 3:47
  That's why I I love our channel, but I also love YouTube in
• 3:52
  general. I know they're not perfect.
• 3:53
  Sometimes they censor things that they shouldn't.
• 3:56
  I'm not saying they're perfect, but for a platform to allow
• 3:59
  people to really be themselves and be creative, you can't beat
• 4:02
  it in my opinion. And we got to give credit to
• 4:05
  Jags, we really do, because they reached out to me, David Salon,
• 4:12
  you know, everybody up there in Delaware.
• 4:14
  OH, listen, I've been with Jake's for 18 years and they
• 4:19
  said, Herman, give us a list of opportunities with you.
• 4:23
  So I, you know, I'm like dirt car, dirt car.
• 4:27
  And I fourth in line, like 4th on this list was Kenny Wallace
• 4:32
  YouTube show. Charlie, why do you think Jake's
• 4:36
  picked this YouTube show when we just got going?
• 4:40
  I mean, we weren't even really rolling.
• 4:42
  Maybe we were six months in. We're so grateful for Jags.
• 4:46
  Why do you think that? Why do you think they chose it?
• 4:50
  Well, first of all, Jags is a great company.
• 4:52
  Obviously, I'm from Ohio as well.
• 4:54
  Here's the deal. First of all, it's always the
• 4:56
  opposite. So look at your shirt right
• 4:57
  there. You got the Jags logo.
• 4:59
  Now we're recording, so I'm going to put the Jags logo here.
• 5:04
  After the. Pack.
• 5:05
  So you, I can't see it right now, but you're going to see it
• 5:07
  when I when I post this. Yeah.
• 5:09
  And here's the thing, Jags logo is up in that corner for every
• 5:14
  video. And I think it was something I
• 5:16
  looked, the last time I looked, it was like 2 million hours.
• 5:20
  Think about that 2 million hours.
• 5:23
  People can see that Jags logo right up there and they have
• 5:27
  that brand identity. And here's the other thing about
• 5:29
  YouTube I think is great. There's a clickable link right
• 5:33
  here that you can go directly from our videos to Jags website.
• 5:37
  You just click right there, boom, and go to their website
• 5:40
  and buy their product. So from a a business owner
• 5:43
  standpoint, how can you not love that?
• 5:45
  Plus we can show them exactly how many people are watching and
• 5:48
  for how long. Like sometimes in radio, like
• 5:51
  how many people are listening. I don't know.
• 5:52
  I can show Jags every month, every week, every year.
• 5:55
  Exactly. Literally how many millions of
• 5:59
  hours people have watched your channel Kenny for?
• 6:02
  close to 30 million views. And these are long form views,
• 6:05
  not the shorts. Those are easier to get. 30
• 6:08
  million we're approaching and something crazy like 2 million
• 6:11
  hours. People can see that Jeggs logo
• 6:13
  up here for the whole time. Charlie, thank you so much to
• 6:18
  all the fans out there. Thank you from the bottom of my
• 6:21
  heart. I really appreciate it.
• 6:23
  I want to, I want to share something.
• 6:24
  This is behind the scenes I have right here.
• 6:30
  Charlie, how many Kenny conversations have we done?
• 6:33
  I know exactly so. So we've released 62.
• 6:37
  We taped Bob Sergeant today. That will be 63.
• 6:41
  OK, we work hard here. It is a lot of fun, but it's all
• 6:46
  of you, all of you fans. We want to thank you.
• 6:49
  I've kept every one of my Kenny conversation notes.
• 6:53
  I make notes because when I interviewed Danica Patrick or
• 6:56
  Tony Stewart or Dale Junior or Kelly Earnhardt or anybody, I
• 7:03
  want to know and I want to do a good job for all of you.
• 7:05
  And so does Charlie. And Charlie edits everything up.
• 7:09
  This is a load of fun. My wife, she sits out there in
• 7:12
  the out there in the living room or she's in the basement and she
• 7:16
  can hear me. And when we're done, she'll go,
• 7:18
  hey, that was really good. So I knew we were on to
• 7:21
  something. But anyway, let's end up like
• 7:23
  this. Charlie from, from Charlie
• 7:27
  Marlow and myself to all of you out there.
• 7:30
  We're having fun and we're putting a lot of different
• 7:32
  things up here. We're we're excited that Rick
• 7:36
  Mast is here now. We love you all.
• 7:39
  They say 100, Charlie. Well, let's end it like this.
• 7:43
  Why is 100,000? Why is 100,000 subscribers?
• 7:50
  Why is it a big deal? Well, just look at how many
• 7:53
  millions of YouTube channels are out there.
• 7:56
  And, and you, you cited this article and I've seen it as
• 7:58
  well. If you Google this, it's
• 8:00
  something like .5%. You always hear people talk
• 8:03
  about the one percent 0.5. We're half of that.
• 8:07
  You know, we are in the top .5% of all YouTube channels ever in
• 8:11
  terms of subscribers. And again, this is kind of
• 8:14
  inside baseball, but the longer form views, it's harder to get
• 8:19
  those views than the shorts that a lot of the kids like these
• 8:22
  days. So look, this channel is, is
• 8:25
  big. It's important, I think and it's
• 8:27
  only growing and I only think it's going to get bigger.
• 8:29
  And again, that's credit to you and all the people out there
• 8:33
  that made it happen with the commenting, liking, subscribing,
• 8:36
  becoming a member and all that and and all the comments.
• 8:39
  It's great. When do we get our trophy?
• 8:43
  So we you called Mitchell Stapleton, of course, a couple
• 8:47
  minutes ago and he said, I figured I'd get an e-mail from
• 8:50
  YouTube, but apparently I have to go to creator support and I
• 8:53
  have to say, hey, let's get this trophy going so we can put it in
• 8:55
  your, in your back. Right here.
• 8:58
  All right, everybody, we love you.
• 9:01
  We appreciate you. Thanks for being part of our
• 9:04
  family and we just wanted to make a thank you video until the
• 9:07
  next one. See you later.
