  Happy Wednesday morning, everybody.
• 0:04
  Beautiful day here in Saint Louis.
• 0:07
  They say we going to be wearing shorts on Saturday, 74°.
• 0:14
  Are you kidding me? Middle of November.
• 0:19
  That's all right. I'll take it.
• 0:21
  I don't like the real cold weather.
• 0:24
  I do like change, but I don't like that real cold weather.
• 0:27
  All right, today's subject is here we go again.
• 0:33
  I think that's going to be the subject.
• 0:36
  Here we go again. NASCAR and Michael Jordan and
• 0:42
  and the the 2311 team in Front Row Motorsports.
• 0:47
  Everybody knows by now they're suing NASCAR for monopolistic
• 0:53
  practices. They're saying NASCAR needs to
• 0:58
  share their wealth, give us some more money because we don't
• 1:02
  think you're giving us enough. That's all it comes down to.
• 1:06
  The herminator dumbed it down for you.
• 1:11
  So yesterday, on Tuesday, breaking news in the garage
• 1:14
  area. Judge Bell if you remember told
• 1:18
  everybody got a year ago, y'all better, Y'all better fix this
• 1:24
  yourselves because you're getting ready to burn the house
• 1:28
  down, he said. I've never seen a group of
• 1:31
  people wanting to burn their own sport down and I agree.
• 1:37
  So yesterday Rodger Penske and Rick Hendrick, now I'm going to
• 1:46
  say this in a way you all understand it.
• 1:48
  I'm not doing it all legal mumbo jumbo, Rodger Penske, Rick
• 1:53
  Hendrick said. Look, we understand you want to
• 1:57
  interview us. We don't want you to interview
• 1:58
  us because we're too famous and we don't want, we don't want to
• 2:02
  tell you our business. That's fair.
• 2:05
  That's that's what they say in the real world, in the business
• 2:08
  world, we don't want to tell you about our money.
• 2:11
  It it might cause problems. Judge Bell literally said no.
• 2:20
  Rick Hendrick, Rodger Penske. You're going to have to be
• 2:25
  honest. You're going to have to be the
• 2:27
  new word, transparent. You're going to have to be
• 2:32
  transparent. You're going to have to tell us
• 2:33
  everything we need to know and everybody going to have to hear
• 2:36
  it. Holy moly.
• 2:40
  Now you know, Rodger Penske and Rick Hendrick, they're good men,
• 2:44
  so they're not going to lie. So what are they going to say?
• 2:49
  What are they going to ask them? Well, if you read what I read,
• 2:57
  you know Bob Pockras put out, everybody's putting it out.
• 3:01
  It was pretty wild. Can you believe it was my own
• 3:05
  friend Jeff Gordon? Jeff Gordon said publicly a year
• 3:09
  or so ago. He said we haven't turned a
• 3:14
  profit here at Hendrick Motorsport in 10 years.
• 3:21
  Well, it sounds it sounds harmless, right?
• 3:26
  But the people went, what? What do you mean you haven't
• 3:31
  made any money in NASCAR in the last 10 years at Hendrick
• 3:34
  Motorsport? So 2311 Front Row Motorsport,
• 3:41
  they're like, hey, yeah, look here.
• 3:43
  See, NASCAR needs to give us more money because Rick
• 3:47
  Hendrick, his representative, which is Jeff Gordon, Jeff
• 3:51
  Gordon said, hell, we haven't made any money over the last 10
• 3:55
  years. So in a weird way, that kind of
• 4:02
  that got the ball rolling. If Jeff Gordon says Hendrick
• 4:06
  Motorsport, we haven't made any money in 10 years, well, then
• 4:11
  that's why NASCAR needs to give us more money.
• 4:13
  And that's why Rodger Penske and Rick Hendrick, now they need to,
• 4:18
  they need to talk. Are they really not making any
• 4:21
  money? Well, I, I was surprised when
• 4:29
  Rodger Penske and Rick Hendrick said this.
• 4:33
  Now this is another piece of new, new news.
• 4:37
  They, they didn't want to talk, but they, they asked the judge,
• 4:40
  hey, don't ask us these certain questions.
• 4:46
  That's what it reads. But this is not me saying this.
• 4:49
  I'm telling you what I read. Rodger Penske Rick Hendrick
• 4:52
  said. Hey, Judge, don't ask us these
• 4:55
  certain questions. Judge Bill went, oh, no, Oh no.
• 5:01
  We're going to ask you everything we need to ask you
• 5:04
  and you're going to be transparent.
• 5:07
  So here we go. Rodger Penske, Rick Hendrick, 2
• 5:12
  of the finest, most honest men in the world or in life.
• 5:19
  Everybody wants to work for Rodger Penske and Rick Hendrick.
• 5:24
  So what are they going to say? What are they going to say?
• 5:28
  Somebody said to me on social media, hey Herman, what do you
• 5:34
  think they're going to ask Rick Hendrick and Rodger Penske?
• 5:38
  And so it's it's going to be pretty simple.
• 5:40
  They're going to ask them all the things you want to know,
• 5:43
  like, hey, do you guys make any money?
• 5:47
  And if you do make any money, how do you make it?
• 5:50
  Now this is my opinion. They're going to answer dead ass
• 5:56
  honest because they can also, if they want, they can subpoena
• 6:00
  their books. They can go, hey, let us see
• 6:04
  your books. Boy, that's going to get messy.
• 6:08
  You don't want to do that. So once again, we've repeated it
• 6:13
  100 times. This is why Judge Bell said,
• 6:18
  boys in the dark room, go on a dark room and figure it out
• 6:26
  yourself because you don't want this to go to court.
• 6:30
  And so it begins. This is what Judge Bell was
• 6:34
  talking about. Now, sure enough, before this
• 6:39
  trial starts, remember the trial starts.
• 6:42
  You know, there was there was a time there that NASCAR said,
• 6:47
  let's settle. Let's let's figure it out
• 6:49
  ourselves. Remember that about a month ago,
• 6:51
  Hell, everybody was happy. All right, they're going to
• 6:53
  settle themselves. Well, guess what happened?
• 6:57
  They got in a pissing match. They went back and forth and
• 7:00
  nothing got settled. So grown man with a big eagle.
• 7:06
  And now I guess we're going to really know if Rodger Penske and
• 7:11
  Rick Hendrick make money at NASCAR.
• 7:16
  Here's my thought. Do they make money at NASCAR?
• 7:24
  I think they do OK. I think by the time Rodger
• 7:27
  Penske, you know, get some of that free Shell Oil and he uses
• 7:33
  it for all of his dealerships and they trade back and forth, I
• 7:40
  think he does all right. However, like does he make
• 7:44
  money? Probably not.
• 7:48
  But is NASCAR good for business for Rick Hendrick and Rodger
• 7:52
  Penske? You know it is.
• 7:55
  You know it is. All right.
• 7:58
  Everybody have a great Wednesday.
