  Happy Wednesday morning, everybody.
• 0:04
  Man, it's a big day. It's a big day.
• 0:08
  I got a lot to say about Carson Hosavar and let's start like
• 0:14
  this. Here we are Wednesday morning.
• 0:18
  I open up social media and I mean, it's breaking news all
• 0:22
  over. NASCAR is going to race on the
• 0:27
  streets of San Diego, CA next year.
• 0:32
  I got to tell you. I got to tell you, I think I'm
• 0:36
  going to bite for that one and here's why.
• 0:41
  Brother Rusty. Brother Rusty, he said he went
• 0:44
  out there to see Don Perdone, the legendary NHRA drag racer.
• 0:52
  They call him the snake. Years ago, Brother Rusty went
• 0:56
  out to San Diego and he came back and I'll never forget it.
• 1:02
  He looked me square in the eye. Brother Rusty did.
• 1:04
  He said, I think I'm going to move to San Diego.
• 1:08
  It, it caught me off guard. I'm like, you can't leave your
• 1:12
  whole family here. I I was hurt.
• 1:14
  I was like, you can't leave us and move all the way across the
• 1:17
  United States. Why are you going to move to San
• 1:21
  Diego, CA? Rusty said.
• 1:25
  It's the most beautiful weather I've ever felt in global Earth.
• 1:33
  Hey, hey, I, I think I'm going to go for that.
• 1:35
  When, when, when Rusty says that.
• 1:39
  And I know Don Ferdone lives out that way, man.
• 1:44
  I'll tell you what I think NASCAR hit a home run here.
• 1:49
  That is one of the nicest touring destinations in all the
• 1:52
  world. And hell, I think I might go out
• 1:55
  there. I think I might go out there and
• 1:58
  watch that race. Who knows?
• 2:00
  We'll we'll see how it goes. But NASCAR announces this
• 2:04
  morning it it's everywhere. It's everywhere.
• 2:07
  Look, look at everywhere. I mean, it's you name it, Adam
• 2:10
  Stearns reporting it, Jeff Glucks reporting.
• 2:13
  Everybody's reporting at that. NASCAR is going to run a street
• 2:17
  course race next year. San Diego, CA Hold on now, guys,
• 2:24
  hold on, hold on. As Andy Petrie would say, I hold
• 2:28
  you, I hold you. I told you, man, NASCAR said
• 2:35
  they going to change it up. NASCAR said they going to change
• 2:40
  it up and Little Birdie told me that Chicago loves their St.
• 2:47
  horse race. I think NASCAR here's key.
• 2:51
  I think NASCAR knows how to do it.
• 2:54
  I think NASCAR knows how to set up these St. horse races.
• 2:58
  So here we go, here we go. They're they're looking for a
• 3:03
  new flock of fans. And I even think my old people,
• 3:07
  all us old people, you notice how I include myself, all of us
• 3:11
  old people, we might like that warm weather, huh?
• 3:16
  I I guarantee you Dale Junior's going to like it.
• 3:20
  I guarantee you Dale Junior's going to like it.
• 3:22
  So the reason I'm throwing him in the mix is because that might
• 3:26
  make you like it, right? Open mind, everybody.
• 3:31
  Open mind. Life is too beautiful.
• 3:35
  We're born. We have life.
• 3:36
  Breathe deep. Hold on, breathe with me.
• 3:42
  It's not that bad, OK? It's not that bad.
• 3:46
  NASCAR's going to race in San Diego.
• 3:48
  And after all, after all, there's nothing wrong with San
• 3:52
  Diego, CA OK, I'm going to get right to the point.
• 3:58
  Carson Hosavar got in trouble for saying little something
• 4:06
  about Mexico City, Mexico. Now, I just didn't think it was
• 4:09
  that big of a deal. I'm sorry, I did not think it
• 4:14
  was that big of a deal. However, his his team, Spire,
• 4:21
  they're cutting everybody off at at the pass.
• 4:23
  What that means is Spire Motorsports got whiff of Carson
• 4:29
  Osibar was on one of those streaming line deals.
• 4:33
  He was on Twitch or Twitch or Litch or Witch or one off Carson
• 4:40
  Hosavar was on one of those streaming deals before the race
• 4:46
  at Mexico City. That's key.
• 4:48
  Carson Hosavar was on one of those stream deals before the
• 4:56
  race at Mexico and he said a kids style type of derogatory
• 5:03
  comment. It was not a big deal.
• 5:05
  It was not the F word. It was not the F word.
• 5:10
  It was the S word. And he just said something
• 5:15
  derogatory towards Mexico City. Now you know me.
• 5:20
  I know a lot of you going to say, well, it was the truth and
• 5:23
  the people, people, come on now, I'm a daredevil.
• 5:27
  We all know that I'm a daredevil.
• 5:31
  I'm a daredevil, OK? I know that I'm the one that
• 5:36
  talks, but but I don't. I don't take the knife and I
• 5:41
  don't draw blood on people's skin.
• 5:43
  OK, I'm a good guy. I might say we're all old
• 5:47
  people, all you old people, but we're having fun.
• 5:53
  Hell, I'm old. I'll be 62 years old in August.
• 5:57
  We're all old. What do you want me to say?
• 5:59
  The old generation? I take a shortcut and I say yes,
• 6:03
  old people. And then we have fun with it
• 6:08
  because all of you watching, you're old and I'm old.
• 6:11
  That's about as mean as I am. OK, so Carson Hosavart makes a
• 6:17
  derogatory comment. His Spire Motorsports gets a
• 6:23
  hold of it and writes his big old apology letter.
• 6:25
  Then Carson comes out and he writes his big old apology
• 6:28
  letter. And then they take $50,000 and
• 6:32
  they split up in three and they donate it to people in Mexico
• 6:36
  City, Mexico that could use it. That was a very nice gesture.
• 6:43
  OK, now for all my rednecks out there, for all my rednecks out
• 6:49
  there that want to go, he should be able to say what he.
• 6:52
  I'm talking to y'all, I'm talking to you all.
• 6:56
  Simmer down. It's not that easy.
• 7:00
  OK, it's one thing me saying something.
• 7:03
  OK, I don't drive NASCAR anymore.
• 7:06
  OK, I don't drive NASCAR anymore.
• 7:09
  It's one thing me saying something.
• 7:11
  But Carson has big sponsors. Oh, now I forgot about that.
• 7:21
  When we look at what happened to our dear friend Kyle Larson, Oh
• 7:26
  yeah, let's remember that. It's a big boy sport nowadays.
• 7:32
  I'm going to tell you what we got away with a lot back in our
• 7:35
  day. In our day, we could cuss and
• 7:38
  yuck it up and everybody would laugh.
• 7:41
  Now with the FCA, the Federal Communication people, you can't
• 7:47
  say anything. They'll find you.
• 7:50
  So he was on some stream, Stream the old Twitch, whatever it's
• 7:55
  called. And most likely I'm, I'm going
• 7:58
  to tell you what most likely happened.
• 8:00
  I don't know exactly what happened, but most likely some
• 8:04
  media person got a hold of it and was probably getting ready
• 8:08
  to go back crazy, right? Kyle Larson's been in trouble,
• 8:14
  my brother Mike's been in trouble.
• 8:19
  All you got to do is just say something a little sideways and
• 8:22
  some media member get a hold of it and all of a sudden they
• 8:26
  going to they going to make a big to do out of it.
• 8:31
  Here's what I got to say. Carson Osavar is a good kid.
• 8:36
  He's 22 years old. God knows I said some dumb when
• 8:41
  I was 22. Carson's 22 years old.
• 8:45
  Carson wrote a nice apology letter.
• 8:49
  It was heartfelt. The teen gave away $50,000 to
• 8:55
  people that needed it in Mexico. So all's well that ends well.
• 9:02
  None of us are perfect, and neither are you.
• 9:05
  Neither am I. God knows, God knows I'm a Dick.
• 9:10
  I'm a prick. Look at me.
• 9:12
  I mean, I mean, I know I'm a good person.
• 9:15
  I know I'm a good person. I know I'm going to heaven and
• 9:19
  I'm a lover. But sometimes I poke and
• 9:22
  sometimes I poke a little too hard.
• 9:25
  Sometimes we all make mistakes. I'm not perfect.
• 9:28
  I pray to the good Lord every day.
• 9:30
  I say Lord, please forgive me of my sins.
• 9:35
  Damn fly right there. Get out of here.
• 9:41
  I'm thinking of Instagram right now.
• 9:43
  People that are like Virgos and ADHD.
• 9:46
  Hey, but I've been right the whole time.
• 9:48
  Remember out at the swimming pool, I said, I think I see a
• 9:51
  frog. Two days later, there's a damn
• 9:53
  mole. We found a dead mole in my
• 9:56
  skimmer. I was right about that one.
• 9:58
  Saw a deer the other day. Not damn fly right there.
• 10:03
  OK, everybody, I love you all. And you know, I do.
• 10:07
  Let's just let's, let's end like this.
• 10:09
  Remember last year when Fox TV shut down their studios?
• 10:14
  They invited me. Well, I saw I saw Kyle Petty
• 10:19
  hold in court with a bunch of the drivers and they didn't know
• 10:23
  I was walking up behind them and I was walking up behind them and
• 10:30
  they was talking about me. And they said how the hell can
• 10:33
  Kenny Wallace be so successful on all his YouTube shows?
• 10:39
  And Kyle Petty loves me. And Kyle says, man, Kenny
• 10:42
  Wallace is successful because he speaks from the heart.
• 10:45
  He said he says what he thinks. So I love you all.
• 10:48
  I love you all. We're not perfect, and neither
• 10:51
  are you. Neither are you.
• 10:53
  So don't be living in the glass house.
• 10:57
  Give give Carson Osvar a break. He's a good kid.
• 11:02
  Plus, like Dale Junior say, we need somebody to wreck the field
• 11:05
  up. Wait.
• 11:08
  Wait till you tomorrow. Tomorrow.
• 11:11
  My Mark Martin conversations coming out.
• 11:14
  Hour and 23 minutes. Mark made me laugh.
• 11:18
  He said just that. All right, we, we love Carson
• 11:23
  Hosavar. Give him a break.
• 11:27
  All right? See you in San Diego next year.
