• 0:02
  Happy Monday morning to everybody so jaded.
• 0:08
  You got your mama's smile, but your yesterday's child to me so
• 0:14
  jaded. Who sings that?
• 0:17
  All right, coffee with Kenny. A little bit of everything this
• 0:23
  morning. First thing we're gonna tackle
• 0:26
  is the Formula One race out there in Vegas.
• 0:32
  How about Max Verstappen? He wins US fourth straight
• 0:36
  Formula One championship. What is the deal with Formula
• 0:40
  One? It seems to me that drivers like
• 0:44
  Lewis Hamilton with Mercedes and then you know, you look at Max
• 0:49
  Verstappen, seems like they have superior equipment and then they
• 0:54
  rattle off these unbelievable like 6 year stints.
• 0:59
  Lewis Hamilton was unbeatable, won everything.
• 1:03
  Now here's Max Verstappen, he's unbeatable and he wins
• 1:06
  everything. Now we're going to see what
• 1:07
  happens when I think Lewis is going over to Ferrari next year.
• 1:11
  All right, But that's not the conversation at hand.
• 1:16
  There is a lot of people on XI just hate it that that Formula
• 1:22
  One race starts so late out there in Vegas.
• 1:26
  I hear you. I agree.
• 1:29
  So let's talk about it. It's Vegas, man.
• 1:33
  And Larry, Larry Mack Randall, he say night time is the right
• 1:38
  time. So there is a thought that there
• 1:45
  are some small shops out there in Vegas that are just pissed
• 1:50
  that Formula One is ruining their business.
• 1:52
  That one night, you know, it's a couple nights, whatever it is
• 1:57
  for as much money now respond right here.
• 2:00
  For as much money as that Formula One race brings in, I
• 2:04
  think I'd just bite it for a little bit.
• 2:06
  You know, I'm sure the city's going to help you out, but but I
• 2:09
  don't know everything. I'm sure there's a there's a mom
• 2:12
  or pop store that's pissed. It's, you know, getting roughed
• 2:15
  up and I'm sure you know, Formula One in the city is
• 2:18
  addressing it. However, they are also saying
• 2:22
  that the reason they run at night, there's the legendary
• 2:25
  gutter. Give me attention.
• 2:28
  So they're saying that the reason they run the Vegas race
• 2:33
  at night time is because they just shut that.
• 2:38
  They just shut that city down just for a little bit like, you
• 2:42
  know, Vegas is normal all during the day, all normal, all normal.
• 2:46
  And then all of a sudden like that and then they then they
• 2:51
  finish the road course, they put the barriers up and then they
• 2:54
  race. So they're telling me now
• 2:58
  respond right here because once again, you know it all.
• 3:01
  I know you do because you know everything.
• 3:03
  I think the reason they run that Vegas race so late at night is
• 3:07
  because they shut a lot of the streets down.
• 3:11
  You know, that's a short race when when you look at that
• 3:14
  Formula One race, that that's a really short race.
• 3:17
  And I think that's another reason people are liking Formula
• 3:20
  One now. My brother Mike went out there.
• 3:22
  My brother Mike was out there and they said it was packed.
• 3:27
  They're saying that there was only 9000 less people.
• 3:32
  Listen, I ain't going to call bullshit.
• 3:35
  I'm just going to say, OK, there it is.
• 3:37
  But Brother Mike was out there. They had a good time.
• 3:40
  It was a hell of a show. Then they had a division that
• 3:43
  ran before the Formula One cars, and they said that that was a
• 3:47
  hell of a show. So, but I'm here and the reason
• 3:50
  they run that race so late is because they shut the city down
• 3:55
  pretty much late at night. Could you imagine shutting it
• 3:59
  down for three days in a row? Can't happen, so respond right
• 4:03
  here. Let me know if I'm wrong, but
• 4:06
  that's what I'm hearing. OK, so I'm going to interview.
• 4:14
  We're going to have a Kenny conversation with Joey Logano on
• 4:18
  Tuesday. Kenny conversation.
• 4:21
  We talked about this Kenny conversation goes goes as hard
• 4:26
  as before. So we're going to talk with Joey
• 4:28
  Logano, and I know what I'm going to ask Joey.
• 4:31
  I saw an incredible interview with, you know, the captain
• 4:36
  Rodger Penske. Rodger says, look, man, we won
• 4:39
  42% of the races since a certain date this year.
• 4:42
  And, you know, we race with the point system NASCAR gives us.
• 4:48
  So what do you want me to ask Joey Logano besides stupid
• 4:53
  questions? OK, besides stupid questions,
• 4:58
  what do you want me to ask Joey Logano?
• 5:01
  All right, that's that. So we're getting ready to start
• 5:07
  Herman Schrader here in a little bit.
• 5:09
  It's early this morning, on this Monday morning, getting ready to
• 5:12
  start Herman Schrader. We got a lot to talk about.
• 5:15
  There's a lot that went on in NASCAR, as you know, I tease
• 5:19
  you, NASCAR, NASCAR's failing so bad that, you know, Brad
• 5:25
  Keselowski starting that third team over there at Roush Fenway.
• 5:28
  Keselowski with Ryan Priest is the third driver.
• 5:33
  And then, of course, how about that Riley Herbst?
• 5:36
  Hell, I investigated Riley Herbst.
• 5:39
  I had no idea that they were jacked up with all that money.
• 5:43
  I was like, OK, Riley Herbst is a good driver.
• 5:47
  He's won a couple of Xfinity races this year.
• 5:49
  But why Riley Herbst? Well, he's a good driver, but
• 5:53
  the family owns terrible Herbst. Big old gas station chain out
• 5:57
  there on the West Coast. So congratulations to Riley and
• 6:02
  hey, his family might have a lot of money, but he can drive.
• 6:06
  He can drive. And if I'm a betting man, I
• 6:10
  understand sponsorship more than anybody.
• 6:13
  I went at that. I'm going to bet You see that
• 6:17
  Riley Herb's got Monster Energy drink as his sponsor.
• 6:21
  I'm betting. I think they got like what 98
• 6:24
  gas stations like a lot like enough to make a difference.
• 6:28
  I'm betting that terrible herpes, Riley herpes his family.
• 6:33
  I bet they're going to say we will put the Monster Energy
• 6:36
  drink in our stores if you do this.
• 6:39
  So that's the way that works, right?
• 6:43
  Riley herpes fam. Now respond right here, Riley if
• 6:45
  I'm wrong, because I know you watch Riley herpes.
• 6:48
  I know you watch this. Is it AB to B deal?
• 6:51
  Because that's interesting. I think it's fantastic because
• 6:54
  I'm a sponsor hunting guy. I think that's fantastic.
• 6:58
  So Riley, does the gas stations, do you trade out with Monster
• 7:03
  Energy drink? Is that the way that works?
• 7:05
  Put all the Monster Energy drinks in the store in the gas
• 7:09
  stations? If so, I think that's awesome.
• 7:13
  OK, so last night doubleheader out there, not am I saying the
• 7:21
  right Mercedes? Mercedes, the first race, you
• 7:27
  know, open wheel midgets. It's it's open wheel Midget
• 7:30
  time. It's open wheel Midget time.
• 7:33
  You don't hear a thing about open wheel midgets all summer
• 7:36
  long, but it's time for them to shine and it's exciting for me.
• 7:40
  So they're going to be out on the West Coast.
• 7:42
  They got the Chili Bowl coming up.
• 7:44
  But Corey Day, Corey Day, he's that young phenom.
• 7:48
  He will be driving for Hendrick Motorsport in the near future.
• 7:52
  Mark my words, this kids younger.
• 7:54
  I mean he's 18. But Corey Day wins the 1st A
• 7:58
  main. So they got rained out on
• 8:00
  Saturday. They got rained out on Saturday.
• 8:03
  So they did double features yesterday and into the night on
• 8:07
  Sunday night. So Corey Day wins the first
• 8:10
  feature. The second feature Kyle Larson
• 8:13
  reminds us all why he's awesome. He gets by Logan CV in the
• 8:18
  second A main and so Kyle Larson won the second one.
• 8:26
  Let me see who else. Buddy Colfoyd was the only
• 8:33
  driver to be in the top three. So congratulations, buddy.
• 8:37
  That was big. And I think that's nine top
• 8:40
  fives in a row for a Buddy Colfoyd or something like that.
• 8:44
  So respond right here. All right, I think I think we
• 8:47
  dressed it all. I think we dressed in Vegas.
• 8:50
  We dressed, you know, Riley Herbst and all the new news and
• 8:56
  NASCAR and what do you want me to ask?
• 8:58
  Joey Logano? And we also, Joyce addressed EU
• 9:01
  Shack race last night. All right, everybody, happy
• 9:07
  Monday morning.
