Happy damn door bot got me. All right.
0:06
Happy Saturday morning, everybody.
0:08
About 7:15 AM and some old boy last night, he said, Wallace, I
0:17
don't like you holding that coffee cup up.
0:19
It's annoying. I said, well, I'm a rebel, so
0:23
we're going to do the whole show just like this.
0:27
I'm rebellious as hell, man. That's the way I was.
0:30
So All right, Christian Eckus in the truck race last night at
0:37
Martinsville. This is the subject ends up
0:41
getting into Taylor Gray, knocking him up the track after
0:44
the race. Their mother, each other.
0:50
And, you know, of course, I was in TV.
0:52
So you know what's coming next. We apologize for the language,
0:56
but I'm like, no, that's that's the way the man feels.
1:00
You know, just because you're on TV doesn't mean you can't cuss.
1:03
Of course, they make the rules to where, you know, you're not
1:08
supposed to show emotion. So in other words, you just lose
1:13
a race because some guy kind of punched up out of the way, you
1:17
know, Christian because he led the most laps.
1:19
He was the dominant truck. But Taylor Gray sweeps around
1:22
the outside of him getting into Turn 1 and takes off a neck.
1:26
This is in his mind. You know, Christian neck is
1:28
like, oh, no, I won't. I've been leading this whole
1:30
race. Pops him up out of the way.
1:32
Well, I'd be mad too. It's it's listen, I'm not going
1:37
to officiate this. This is Martinsville.
1:40
I'm not going to officiate who is right and who is wrong.
1:43
However, I agree with Mark Martin.
1:46
Mark Martin on exes man, driver etiquette is gone and it is
1:51
gone. That's basically because the Cup
1:53
guys do it and then the guys in the truck Sears go, I'm going to
1:57
be like the Cub guys. I'm knock the hell out of him,
1:59
move him out of the way. So Christian Eckus wins the race
2:05
and, and he does it the right way.
2:07
He, he, he won the race by half straight away.
2:10
So like, if you're going to hit me, you better get on out of
2:12
here 'cause you know, Taylor Gray, if he was quick enough, he
2:16
would have caught back to him and knocked him out of the way.
2:19
So that's my theory on that. If you're going to knock me out
2:22
of the way, you better, you better get away, 'cause I'm
2:26
coming back at you. So that's the way I officiate
2:28
that one. So I told you I wasn't going to
2:32
officiate it. But I'm just saying, you know,
2:35
if you're going to knock me out of the way, you better leave me.
2:38
You better make it to where I can't get back to you.
2:42
OK? Have I made my point?
2:44
Have I made my point? This is when the coffee mug is
2:47
in your face right here, Not here.
2:49
This, this is not in your face. This is in your face, man.
2:56
It's a beautiful day. So anyway, coffee with Kenny
3:02
this morning is just about Martinsville last night.
3:06
And you know, what are we going to see, you know, with this Cup
3:11
race when everything's on the line and you know, these Cup
3:14
guys, that they're professionals.
3:16
But old Felix about us, old Fifi, he taught me years ago in
3:21
that broken English from Cuba. He said kenna wall kenna.
3:25
He called me kenna, KENNA, kenna Wallace.
3:30
Desperate people do desperate things.
3:32
I'm like, yes, they do. It's called you're going crazy.
3:37
He gone crazy. Desperate people do desperate
3:40
things. So I broke down the end of that
3:45
truck race for you, and it did get pretty wild though, because
3:52
one of the ladies on Fox, you know, the truck races on Fox
3:56
still. And she goes the interview, I
4:00
think it was Taylor Gray, and he's pissed and he slaps the
4:06
microphone kind of out of her way.
4:08
Or maybe he didn't, maybe he did, but there's a lot of talk
4:11
about it and he's pissed. In years ago, when I grew up,
4:17
there was this thing called human drama of athletic
4:21
competition. So if you get knocked out of the
4:24
way and you know it's for a championship or something, do
4:27
you get out of the truck and go, Oh, it was such a tough
4:31
situation. It really irked me.
4:33
He, he knocked me out of the way and, well, I'll just have to get
4:37
over. No, no, I wouldn't do that.
4:41
I'd say that mother knocked me out of the way.
4:43
Next time I get to him, I'll remember that.
4:46
Although, like I said, when I look at it, he should have got
4:49
back to him. So listen, I know nobody likes
4:52
what Christian Nekus did knocking Taylor Gray out of the
4:55
way. However, he should have been
4:59
able to get back to him and knock him out of the way.
5:02
All right, so the question begs is this.
5:06
I need you all to respond right here.
5:10
Will the Cup race be like there are?
5:12
OK, There it is, baby. That's the waffle truck.
5:16
There it is, 7:15. That's the waffle trailer right
5:19
there. Kim.
5:21
The waffle trailers here. There they are.
5:25
Race fans. Yes, Sir.
5:27
It's a big day. It's the big day.
5:30
It's Kim's craft show. This place will be standing room
5:35
only at 8:30. I better get in the shower.
5:38
So, oh, by the way, tonight I'm doing a black tie affair.
5:41
When this is all over, I'm going to go down to The Four Seasons
5:45
down there by the Arch for Kyle McClellan.
5:47
It'll raise about half, $1,000,000 for good 'cause
5:50
there's Louis, there's the legend.
5:52
It's going to be standing there moaning today.
5:56
I'm going to have my I'm going to take my race car, put it on
5:58
display here in a little bit. But I thought I'd knock out
6:01
coffee with Kenny. So anyway, let's get back to the
6:05
conversation. You ever noticed those people
6:07
when they when they get a little chippy, they're like, let's get
6:10
back to the conversation at hand.
6:14
I don't know why I did that. That looks stupid.
6:16
Whatever. I stop that talking to myself.
6:20
Excuse me? So this Cup race, Yeah, I'm
6:24
holding this coffee right here now.
6:26
That guy pissed me off. So anyway, what will the Cup
6:31
race be like? We watched Joey Logano and Matt
6:35
Kenseth go at it and they're, you know, they're showing
6:37
replays that has everybody calm down.
6:41
What's going to happen? You got Kyle Larson, he's he's 7
6:47
points out. You got Denny Hamlin, 18 points
6:50
out. I mean, you know, Dale
6:53
Earnhardt. Remember the story?
6:56
Remember the story Earnhardt told my brother Rusty?
7:00
Brother Rusty. My brother Rusty.
7:02
There goes Herman again. My brother Rusty.
7:05
Yes. I'm proud of my brother Rusty.
7:10
So Rusty. Oh, I had, by the way.
7:12
I had one guy say I was getting ready to quit following you.
7:15
I'm so tired of you talking about Haley digging.
7:18
I'm like people, you're weak. Quit it.
7:22
So anyway, my brother Rusty was sawing the ass off of Bill
7:28
Elliott back in the day and rusting end up finishing second
7:33
to Bill Elliott, Dale Earnhardt, senior, the man in black said
7:37
Wallace. All you had to do was knock,
7:41
knock, go Bill Elliott out of the way and you don't want the
7:44
Southern 500. Oh yeah, the fans would have
7:47
been mad, but they'd have got over it.
7:50
Now, that's still seniors, thought.
7:52
OK, I think that's D that's Kim's mom.
7:57
So is that what's going to happen this Sunday?
8:02
Respond right here. Do do you think what you do is
8:06
you just knock him out of the way to put yourself in the
8:09
championship and we all bitch and whine and five days later,
8:14
you forget about it because they'll be in Phoenix?
8:17
Respond right here. What kind of race do you think
8:20
we're going to see in the cups? Here's on Sunday.
8:23
It's Martinsville. It's Martinsville.
8:26
What kind of race do you think we're going to see the spawn
8:28
right here? Will it be like that truck race
8:31
to finish there?
