  Happy Sunday morning, everybody. Boy, we had a banger last night.
• 0:07
  Look at this. They slept right there.
• 0:13
  All the grandbabies slept right here in the middle of the living
• 0:16
  room. OK What's your name, ma'am?
• 0:21
  Charlotte. Charlotte.
• 0:24
  Mila Jade. Charlotte, Mila and Jade.
• 0:29
  All right, everybody. Do you love Poppy?
• 0:32
  Yes. Why do you love me so much?
• 0:35
  Because you're. Awesome because because you're
• 0:41
  fun. Because I'm fun.
• 0:45
  OK, everybody. Well, the grandbabies are in the
• 0:48
  house. We had a great time last night.
• 0:50
  We went to Mcalister's Deli. We.
• 0:53
  Went to. Cold Stone got some ice cream
• 0:57
  and we had a good time. Then we came home and we watched
• 0:59
  the World Series, man, one of the greatest games.
• 1:03
  And listen, I'm a Saint Louis Cardinal boy and I, I'm a
• 1:08
  baseball guy. Everybody knows that.
• 1:10
  And the girls all fell asleep. And this morning, Charlotte,
• 1:16
  Charlotte said Poppy, who won that World Series.
• 1:19
  I said, Honey, that the Blue Jays had a runner on 3rd 3 times
• 1:25
  and at the very end of the game they had a runner on 3rd again
• 1:28
  with one out and they could not get them home.
• 1:31
  So congratulations to the Dodgers.
• 1:35
  They truly deserve the win because they had a what, three
• 1:40
  home runs at the end there to win it?
• 1:42
  So congratulations to the Los Angeles Dodgers, all right?
• 1:52
  It's going to be all about the playoffs now.
• 1:55
  On Friday night, we got lucky and we we crowned the accurate
• 2:00
  champion in the Truck Series. We watched Corey Heim.
• 2:06
  He dropped a Heim bomb. That's what Charlie Marlow said.
• 2:11
  Put that over on YouTube. That was the headline Heim bomb.
• 2:15
  But Corey Heim won it all, and that was the right champion.
• 2:19
  So you girls can leave whenever you want to leave.
• 2:21
  You don't got to hang out here. Poppy will make your cereal here
• 2:26
  in a little bit. OK, we got this.
• 2:29
  I got their cereal ready to go. Wait, I'll.
• 2:34
  Go. Somewhere.
• 2:34
  OK, here we go. Last night in the Xfinity
• 2:41
  Series, that was the perfect storm.
• 2:45
  But 1985 Bill Elliott won 11 races and did not win the
• 2:50
  Winston Cup championship. 1993 Rusty Wallace won 10 races, did
• 2:57
  not win the NASCAR Cup championship.
• 3:02
  It's the perfect storm. Everybody now, right up front,
• 3:07
  I'm going to, I'm going to let you know you all are right.
• 3:12
  It sucked. It was a bummer that Connor
• 3:16
  Zilich did not win the Xfinity championship with ten wins and
• 3:22
  your champion had two wins. Jeff Gluck said last night that
• 3:28
  there was a very weird vibe. Everybody was quiet at the
• 3:32
  racetrack. Jeff Gluck said that it was a
• 3:36
  very quiet atmosphere because everybody knew that there was a
• 3:41
  travesty. They knew that Connor Zilich
• 3:45
  should have been the champion, but he he wasn't.
• 3:49
  Now, I have a lot to say and we're just getting started, but
• 3:54
  let me let me give you all a cliche.
• 4:00
  Did we all turn the TV on and did you all go to the racetrack
• 4:05
  to watch Connor Zillich win the race?
• 4:09
  Because I did, I turned it on because I knew Connor Zillich
• 4:12
  was going to win the race and just finish off this
• 4:14
  championship. But really, how stupid that was,
• 4:18
  right? How what I just said was a
• 4:21
  cliche, how stupid that sounded. Oh, I'm going to the racetrack
• 4:24
  to watch Connor Zillich win. Well, if I knew Connor was going
• 4:27
  to win it, why would I even watch it?
• 4:31
  We all knew that this could happen and that's why you all
• 4:36
  were up in arms and you're devastated.
• 4:39
  Now. I want to say this about me.
• 4:43
  I'm not devastated. I'm not devastated because I
• 4:47
  knew for the last four or five years that this was the case.
• 4:54
  So why this year? Why this year?
• 4:57
  Respond right here, right now. Why this year is everybody
• 5:03
  jacked up on Mountain Dew? Why this year?
• 5:05
  Why not all the other years? Or were you jacked up on
• 5:09
  Mountain Dew the other years? But why is it this year that you
• 5:13
  guys sounded off? See, I, I didn't have a problem
• 5:17
  with it all because I knew this could happen.
• 5:19
  I I knew it was a one race deal. But did you all finally have
• 5:23
  enough respond right here? So it was the perfect storm
• 5:29
  NASCAR. They're feeling the heat this
• 5:32
  morning. They open up social media, they
• 5:36
  walk around the racetrack and everybody's just like zombies.
• 5:41
  It's like, what the hell just happened?
• 5:44
  The guy that won the championship only won two races.
• 5:51
  Now, here's the other thing I want to say.
• 5:53
  And I want, I want everybody to take a drink of coffee on this
• 5:55
  one. Shame on Jesse Love for winning
• 6:03
  that race. He should have never won that
• 6:05
  race. Now he's the damn champion.
• 6:10
  Did you see how beautiful Jesse Love's family was?
• 6:14
  The father, the sisters? Do you know Connor Zillich
• 6:20
  Loves? Jesse Love?
• 6:21
  They're like, they're like dear friends now.
• 6:25
  They said Connor Zillich went to Victor Lane and congratulated
• 6:29
  his friend. Jesse Love had the race of his
• 6:31
  life and Jesse Love had the race of his life.
• 6:35
  And because you all don't like this championship Chip Chase,
• 6:42
  are we supposed to shame him for winning?
• 6:45
  He didn't have anything to do with it.
• 6:49
  We should be happy for Jesse Love, but nobody is.
• 6:53
  We got away with in the truck race at the very end, Thank God,
• 6:57
  Corey Heim one, But here we are right now throwing daggers.
• 7:04
  Not really, but I have two cliches.
• 7:08
  Hey, let's turn the race on and watch counter Zillich win
• 7:12
  because he had to win to win the championship.
• 7:15
  Pretty much in this situation where all the playoffs can be.
• 7:19
  And isn't it right? NASCAR does have the right
• 7:23
  contenders, right? You look at the Cup Series, the
• 7:26
  race today, they're lined up 123, Danny Hamlin on pole,
• 7:32
  William Byron second, Kyle Larson 3rd and Chase Briscoe
• 7:36
  12th. Well, then the Xfinity race, you
• 7:39
  had Jesse Love, who won the race, Conor Zilla 2nd, and then
• 7:43
  of course, our hero Justin Hugger, he faded.
• 7:49
  He faded back, I think to 4th or 5th, but they all were right on
• 7:54
  top of each other. So we had the right cars.
• 7:59
  We just got the wrong champion. Now, let me address the elephant
• 8:06
  in the room. You all are going to want to get
• 8:11
  me. You're going to want to pile on
• 8:13
  me. Kenny Wallace is stupid.
• 8:16
  Kenny Wallace is an idiot. People like me, I'm smart.
• 8:21
  We don't talk like that. Dumb people.
• 8:24
  Some of you dumb people. Yeah, I said it.
• 8:27
  Some of you talk badly of me over a sport, and that's OK.
• 8:34
  That's OK, because I got thick skin and I'm a I'm a smart man.
• 8:40
  But for some of you throwing all your daggers at me, bring it.
• 8:45
  Bring it. What do you think you that?
• 8:49
  What do you think of being mean to Poppy?
• 8:53
  What are you thinking in people being mean to me?
• 8:55
  They don't. Like it?
• 8:59
  They don't like it, they'll they'll grow up there learning.
• 9:03
  So anyway, you can get your ass right on here and mother all you
• 9:10
  want. Sorry girls, don't ever cuss.
• 9:15
  That's fine. You can do that all you want to
• 9:17
  me, but it ain't going to matter because for three or four years
• 9:22
  this playoff system has been fine and it was this year you
• 9:27
  all got jacked up on Mountain Dew.
• 9:29
  Now I'm consistent in my verbiage.
• 9:32
  I said I love this playoff system.
• 9:36
  I just wish it was a free race playoff.
• 9:38
  I've always said that from day one, but I've never run out of
• 9:43
  breath. Like all of you.
• 9:46
  This is why I don't watch NASCAR.
• 9:49
  The second race of the year. The points are bad, so I'm a
• 9:54
  tough guy. Bring it.
• 9:57
  Bring it all you want. Just exhaust yourself.
• 9:59
  You know why? Because tonight, tonight NASCAR
• 10:04
  is over. Tuesday.
• 10:07
  Did you know Tuesday? If you've made it this far,
• 10:10
  Tuesday is the award ceremony this Tuesday.
• 10:14
  And I like this. This is kind of new.
• 10:16
  NASCAR's like, OK, we'll keep everybody out here on the West
• 10:19
  Coast, World War, our champions. And I'm telling you what, on
• 10:22
  Wednesday, this Wednesday, I mean, it is over, over.
• 10:27
  And you all will have to wait till next year to do your
• 10:29
  bitching. All right, everybody, I said
• 10:34
  what I wanted to say. It was the perfect storm.
• 10:39
  We turned the TV on to watch Connor Zillich win.
• 10:41
  He didn't. Should we should we throw Jack
• 10:46
  daggers at Jesse Love for winning?
• 10:48
  Hell no. Is the point system wrong?
• 10:52
  Yes. But I'm just taken aback by how
• 10:55
  you all have lost your life over this.
• 11:01
  All right, everybody have a great Sunday.
