- 0:00Oh Lord, I was tired. I woke up at 10:30 like a child.
- 0:08Just like the good old days. Happy Sunday morning, everybody.
- 0:17Did you know that about four months ago I tried to change
- 0:24coffee with Kenny? I did some short versions
- 0:28because I had some people giving me wrong information and I
- 0:33listen to them, I listen to people and then I decide what I
- 0:36want to do. So I didn't even say happy
- 0:42Sunday morning. I went directly into what the
- 0:44subject matter was going to be and the whole thing was over in
- 0:47like 3 minutes. And I did that for about four
- 0:51days in a row and everybody noticed the purest the ones that
- 0:57really like Coffee with Kenny. See, there's two Coffee with
- 1:00Kenny fans. There's the ones that love me

- 1:08lot of it's comedy, right? Then there's the ones that take
- 1:12me serious in a weird way. Like I said yesterday, I'm not
- 1:21crazy. I'm happy I'm not silly.
- 1:26I'm happy I grew up on Saturday Night Live.

- 1:44What do we they call this the something analog.
- 1:48No respond right here. I got brain fade.
- 1:52What did Johnny Carson monologue?
- 1:55This is my monologue. I welcome you in.
- 1:58I say good morning. Things like that.
- 2:00This is my monologue. OK, well, let's look at the TV.
- 2:07Look at this. Look at this.
- 2:09Would you Myrtle Beach, SC 25° right now and there's snow on
- 2:15the ground. That is crazy.
- 2:17Top left hand corner. That's that's Myrtle Beach and
- 2:21there's snow on the ground and and he just stuck.
- 2:28Myrtle Beach recorded a top ten all time.
- 2:32Well, I don't know, maybe it has snowed in Myrtle Beach before.
- 2:35Pretty rare north of Myrtle Beach.
- 2:40OK, let's get going. Robin Pemberton.
- 2:45Remember, he wasn't just a NASCAR official.
- 2:49He was brother Rusty's crew chief the year they won, I think
- 2:5210 rate or 10 poles. So Robin Pemberton is a dear
- 2:56friend of mine. Robin Pemberton has been on
- 2:59Kenny conversation. Robin text me this morning.
- 3:04Thank you for texting me, Robin. 11 to 14 inches in Greensboro.
- 3:11That's that's pretty big. So up at the racetrack at Bowman
- 3:18Gray, they had a phenomenon and they were lucky and that's
- 3:22awesome. The racetrack looks good this
- 3:24morning here on this Sunday morning, I think.
- 3:27Now listen, they had what there's called a dry slot.
- 3:31I'm watching. I watched The Weather Channel
- 3:33here. It was called a dry slot.
- 3:34They said Raleigh come out OK compared to 11 to 14 inches in
- 3:41Greensboro, exactly 1 foot in Charlotte, NC.
- 3:46It was a weather phenomenon and Can you believe that?
- 3:49That's awesome for, you know, Bowman Gray.
- 3:52Now the highways are junk around.
- 3:55They're running the race is one thing tomorrow.
- 3:59Running the race is one thing tomorrow.
- 4:02Do they need fans in the grandstands?
- 4:05Respond right here. I've said what I wanted to say.
- 4:08Everybody says, you know, what does Wallace think?
- 4:12You know, I told you to listen. I like Betrayer, said abort.
- 4:16I said let's run this thing on Wednesday.
- 4:17Or, you know, now I'm hearing Christopher Bell said that.
- 4:23There was rumblings, there was rumours.
- 4:25Let's just run the thing on Saturday next week.
- 4:28Why not a runner on Saturday? It's getting close to the Super
- 4:32Bowl. Fans are going to be close to
- 4:34their TV's. Everybody's going to be, you
- 4:37know, jacked up on sun drops, Super Bowl's tomorrow.
- 4:40You could run, you could run that race on Saturday if Fox
- 4:44could do it. You know, listen, I say what I
- 4:47say, but I do know it's easier than that coffee with Kenny's
- 4:52conversation, You know, it's like this that we talk about it.
- 4:57I understand that you just can't go around the rice on Saturday
- 5:00next week. But think about how awesome that
- 5:02would. Because like I say, the fans are
- 5:05already warmed up to their TV channel waiting on Sunday's
- 5:08Super Bowl. That way all this snows out of
- 5:11there. It just seems better than to try
- 5:14to. You know, the NASCAR rule is the
- 5:16next clear day. So like I said, we've got rained
- 5:20and fogged out at Michigan on a Sunday, then we went to run
- 5:24Monday. We couldn't run Monday.
- 5:25Then we ran a Tuesday. So it is clear.
- 5:28The normal NASCAR rules are we race the next clear day.
- 5:32So we've raced Tuesday at Michigan.
- 5:36This is not a points event. This is a special deal.
- 5:39The city of Winston Salem, they're jacked up on Sun Drop.
- 5:42This is the biggest thing that's happened in their city since the
- 5:46Winston forum, where we used to all go and 20,000 people would
- 5:49pile in and we had the big autograph session.
- 5:52Remember that? Respond right here.
- 5:54Give me some of your memories of the What was that?
- 5:58The Winston? Whatever we call that, I called
- 6:00it the forum. We'd all go in there and sign
- 6:02autographs and cars would be on display.
- 6:05Those were the days. So the dry slot was where there
- 6:12was snow on the left and on the right of Raleigh, and it didn't
- 6:16snow that much. It didn't get the one foot.
- 6:19I don't even know what it got, but we'll see.
- 6:27OK. So I think that's it for the
- 6:30weather now down here, down here in Ormond Beach or in Daytona.
- 6:37It's like Daytona is right there, This is Ormond Beach.
- 6:41A lot of people's pipes are frozen overnight.
- 6:44I got some friends that have, you know, texted me and they're
- 6:48mad at themselves. There was no heat tape around
- 6:51town or they didn't get heat tape.
- 6:53A lot of my buddies that have RV's, Schrader's, Kenny
- 6:59Schrader's pipes froze up as he was on his way from Saint Louis
- 7:03down and he's been working on getting those things fixed up.
- 7:08So what? What is simple up north, what is
- 7:11normal up north is not normal down here.
- 7:16Craiger called me, said Herman. Go out around the house, see if
- 7:19the water spickets are OK. So I said I will do that.
- 7:25I think I've been tired, everybody.
- 7:26I've been burning the candle at both ends.
- 7:28Been, man, I tell you what, the race has been going on pretty
- 7:30long. I've been I've been leaving the
- 7:32racetrack at midnight and getting to bed around one or two
- 7:35in the morning. I think it finally caught up
- 7:38with me. I need to start drinking more
- 7:41water. My pee is dark yellow.
- 7:44Hey, Wallace, We didn't need all that information.
- 7:47Well, you know, when you get older, you got to talk about
- 7:50your health, you know? All right, We'll see, everybody.
- 7:55We'll see. I know Ben Kennedy is adamant to
- 7:58run this damn thing tomorrow. I think it's just now.
- 8:01I think it's just that he wants to see if he can get it done.
- 8:04I'd run the damn thing on Saturday next week.
- 8:06That was not my idea. I was watching an interview with
- 8:09Christopher Bell and Christopher Bell said that rumor was being
- 8:13floated around. I would say Saturday's been the
- 8:17right thing to do with the highways being jumped up now.
- 8:21If you don't want no fans, run a son bitch right now.
- 8:27Have a great Was that a cuss word?
- 8:30Respond right here. I've been doing good.
- 8:34Have a great Sunday.
