  Herman, do you have to comment on everything?
• 0:04
  Yes. Yes, I do.
• 0:07
  Even even when I'm in Cabo. How about that fancy camera
• 0:23
  work? Alright, I told my wife over.
• 0:27
  That's Brookie. There's Kim.
• 0:31
  So, I said breaking news in the garage area.
• 0:35
  Michael Andretti has been denied to race with Formula One.
• 0:42
  Why? How come?
• 0:45
  So Think about a Country Club. Or remember Bristol when you
• 0:52
  couldn't buy tickets and they said gotta wait for somebody to
• 0:55
  die to get tickets to get into Bristol Formula One.
• 1:02
  When I think of Formula One, I think of sophisticated
• 1:05
  machinery, incredible engineers, I think of airplanes basically
• 1:11
  on the ground. So some of these hold on, what
• 1:17
  in the hell? I don't even think that's
• 1:27
  Brittany. She ain't started drinking.
• 1:29
  So when you think of Formula One, you think of the most
• 1:33
  expensive of everything, very high end.
• 1:38
  This is a sport unlike NASCAR. So a lot of fans in NASCAR, they
• 1:43
  want everybody to be equal and they want NASCAR to apologize
• 1:48
  for having money. They want the drivers to
• 1:50
  apologize for making money. Let me tell you something.
• 1:54
  If you don't like people making money, Formula One is not the
• 1:58
  sport for you. They don't apologize for Jack
• 2:01
  over in Formula One. The more money they can make
• 2:05
  over there, the better it is, because it's a free enterprise,
• 2:08
  just like it is right here in America.
• 2:11
  So let's get to it. How come Formula One denied
• 2:15
  Michael Andretti Motorsports? Well, number one, if they let
• 2:21
  Michael Andretti into Formula One, that means they have to
• 2:24
  share revenue, they have to share money and they don't want
• 2:29
  to do that. The other reason is that they
• 2:33
  have all healthy teams right now and there's no teams selling out
• 2:38
  now. The only way Michael could make
• 2:41
  his way in there is if a team would fall out that way.
• 2:45
  The revenue sharing would stay the same.
• 2:49
  There are a lot of other things. Listen, they're they're saying
• 2:53
  some silly stuff like, well, we don't want Andrei to come in
• 2:57
  because we don't think they're going to be competitive And
• 3:01
  instead of them adding the Formula One, they'll be taking
• 3:05
  away. Well, that's like saying the
• 3:09
  Buffalo Bills aren't going to go to the AFC Championship or
• 3:14
  whatever championship that was NFC.
• 3:17
  So, you know, a lot of things are Cinderella stories.
• 3:20
  You ask yourself, well, how the hell did Haas get there then?
• 3:24
  Well, I guess Haas bought a team out that was dying and so they
• 3:30
  didn't have to change the revenue sharing.
• 3:33
  But I think really I needed to do this Kenny Wallace show, and
• 3:40
  it's not going to be 8 minutes. It's because I needed to educate
• 3:44
  you all on how Formula One works.
• 3:48
  I'm going to be nice and I'm not going to repeat myself.
• 3:50
  You know how, like I said, you all, you all want to keep people
• 3:54
  subdued. I don't want Denny Hamlin to
• 3:56
  make too much money. But that ain't the way it works
• 3:59
  in in Formula One. The more money, the the more it
• 4:03
  is. Big watches, damn jets and
• 4:07
  yachts and diamond earrings and they it ain't two carat.
• 4:11
  They're like 5:00 and 6:00. So Formula One is where all the
• 4:16
  money in the world is. And if you take any of their
• 4:19
  money away from them, if you, if you, you make, they don't want
• 4:23
  the pie bigger. I'm going to say it again
• 4:26
  Formula One, they do not want the pie bigger because if you
• 4:30
  make the pie bigger, that means they got a hand some out.
• 4:33
  And I'm going to leave you with this Formula One.
• 4:37
  Some of those teams have been there forever and and they're
• 4:39
  going to look at it and really like, we ain't letting you come
• 4:42
  in and and take some of the money that we have worked on our
• 4:45
  whole life. So there's going to be a lot of
• 4:48
  reasons out there, but that's the number one reason they don't
• 4:51
  want to share money. And well, yeah, and hear a lot
• 4:58
  of you are all. I love Formula One 'cause they
• 5:00
  got a Netflix special out. Well, NASCAR's got their own
• 5:03
  now.
