  Happy Monday morning everybody. Weather station says don't get

  used to that nice cold weather. 90° gonna start creeping in,
• 0:18
  gonna start coming back, gonna make your life miserable.
• 0:24
  Man, the weather has been absolutely beautiful in St.
• 0:30
  Louis, MO here. Almost feels like we're in
• 0:32
  Montana in August. 60° this morning.
• 0:37
  Beautiful. I'm headed out to Sturgis
• 0:41
  tomorrow morning, so I will be landing in Rapid City, SD at
• 0:48
  11:30 Tuesday morning. I should be on my bike by 2:00.
• 0:53
  I'll be leaving Spearfish Canyon and I don't know where we'll go,
• 0:58
  but we'll be riding around. So we'll see you out there in
• 1:00
  Sturgis. I'll be out there Tuesday,
• 1:03
  Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. Four days is plenty for me.
• 1:10
  OK, So I always say that the media, the people, you are the
• 1:21
  gift that keeps giving. So there's a couple people now
• 1:28
  on social media says, oh, Kenny Wallace, all of a sudden he just
• 1:34
  turned coach Kenny Wallace was was talking good about NASCAR
• 1:40
  and we we could not get Kenny Wallace to talk bad about
• 1:44
  NASCAR. The fans say we don't like Kenny
• 1:49
  Wallace because he won't talk bad about NASCAR, Damn it.
• 1:54
  We want Kenny Wallace to say some bad things about NASCAR,
• 1:59
  damn it. And a lot of you were getting
• 2:03
  very mad at me that I just didn't talk a bunch of about
• 2:08
  NASCAR. You want me to talk NASCAR?
• 2:18
  OK, I think I I think I made my point right.
• 2:21
  You don't like NASCAR, but you watch it.
• 2:25
  And you wanted me to talk bad about NASCAR with you, and I
• 2:31
  didn't because I really didn't have nothing bad to talk about.
• 2:37
  So Mark Martin, my buddy Mark, he knows how much else.
• 2:40
  See, when I say Mark, I start smiling.
• 2:44
  You know, yesterday on coffee with Kenny, I said people give
• 2:49
  you valuable lessons and they don't even know they're giving
• 2:54
  it to you. So back in, in the 1980s, St.
• 3:03
  Paul, MN on Pit Rd. early in the morning, Mark Martin gave me one
• 3:12
  of my greatest lessons of all time.
• 3:13
  Now, Mark, Mark will say, I don't remember that.
• 3:17
  Well, you won't remember it, Mark, because it wasn't that
• 3:20
  meaningful to you, but it was very meaningful to me.
• 3:24
  There was a time that I was a chronic complainer.
• 3:28
  I'm embarrassed to say it, but I was going through some changing
• 3:32
  times. I was young, very young.
• 3:36
  Hell, I was still in school, so I must have been 1617 years old.
• 3:41
  ASA let me in the pit, signed a waiver, and I changed tires.
• 3:45
  Me and Paul Andrews. Me and Paul Andrews.
• 3:49
  There's plenty. I got pictures.
• 3:51
  I'll post them. So it was myself and Paul
• 3:53
  Andrews changing tires. AC Tucker was the Jack man.
• 3:59
  Oh, Steve was the gas man. John Childs, he would carry
• 4:05
  tires. But let me tell you what Mark
• 4:08
  Martin taught me. I was bitching and moaning that
• 4:12
  that morning and I'm not a bitcher and moaner and Mark
• 4:16
  Martin stepped right in my tire tracks and he looked me in the
• 4:20
  face. He goes.
• 4:20
  You sure do complain a lot. And he was serious and I was
• 4:25
  bitching and moaning that morning about something and I
• 4:27
  kind of knew I was. But what embarrassed me was Mark
• 4:30
  Martin heard me. If see, Kenny Wallace is the
• 4:34
  type person. If I'm going to do a lot of
• 4:35
  complaining, the key here is if I'm going to do a lot of
• 4:39
  complaining, if I'm going to do a lot of complaining, I don't
• 4:43
  want people to hear me because it's embarrassing, right?
• 4:46
  Because you're a chronic complainer.
• 4:50
  Well, when Mark Martin looked at me that day and said, damn,
• 4:53
  Herman, you're, you complain all the time, I was never so
• 4:58
  embarrassed in all my life. So Mark Martin changed my life
• 5:03
  because I swore from that day on I wouldn't be a chronic
• 5:06
  complainer. Are you a chronic complainer?
• 5:14
  Do you hear yourself or are you one of those guys that say or
• 5:20
  girls that say I just, I just bitch about what needs to be
• 5:23
  bitched about. Yeah, but it looks bad on you
• 5:28
  because successful people, they don't complain all the time.
• 5:33
  They deal with what they got that affects their life.
• 5:37
  So let me address some of you people saying, oh, that Kenny
• 5:44
  Wallace is talking bad about NASCAR with us.
• 5:46
  Oh, now Kenny Wallace turns around and talk like a like I'm
• 5:50
  in some little in club. Like you want me in your little
• 5:53
  bitch club, little Fight Club? Hey, Wallace, how come you don't
• 5:58
  talk about NASCAR with us? I'm going to answer that right
• 6:02
  now because I'm not a chronic complainer like you.
• 6:14
  I told everybody yesterday that I would address that situation.
• 6:20
  I specifically addressed a situation that was embarrassing.
• 6:24
  Reported by Adam Stern, NASCAR said they've hired a firm to
• 6:29
  help them how to go about communicating, winning back the
• 6:35
  old fans, the blue collar fans. And I found that appalling.
• 6:41
  Nate, NASCAR slipped in that news.
• 6:44
  Adam Starr don't dream up. That was NASCAR's way of going.
• 6:49
  Hey, we don't want to really admit it, but hey, Adam.
• 6:53
  And so Adam took the news and and, and ran with it.
• 6:57
  Well, I'm not a dummy. I know, I know NASCAR slipped in
• 7:01
  that news. And I'm like, Oh my God, how
• 7:04
  embarrassing. You're admitting that you dump
• 7:09
  the blue collar fans and now you got a, you got to somehow, you
• 7:13
  know, win them over. Now what's what's embarrassing
• 7:17
  is that it's been going on for 25 years now.
• 7:20
  Remember, the bitching started way back at the original font.
• 7:26
  You know, they call you know what the word time stamp means?
• 7:30
  Time stamp means. Oh yeah, I know where I was
• 7:33
  during 9/11. Why do I'm getting ready to get
• 7:38
  in the shower and I had TV on and I turned around and went Oh
• 7:41
  my God. See, because I just remember
• 7:44
  that. So timestamp means I remember
• 7:48
  all the bitch and the moaning started around Fontana, the
• 7:51
  California Speedway. That's when you all started in
• 7:54
  on your chronic complaining. And remember I said you've been
• 7:58
  complaining for 2025 years because now they built Fontana
• 8:02
  Speedway, they bulldoze it over, shut it down and y'all are still
• 8:07
  complaining. That, my friends, is in chronic
• 8:12
  complaining. James McFadden won the race at
• 8:21
  Knoxville last night by a straightaway.
• 8:24
  I didn't get on social media right away and go, oh boy, those
• 8:26
  Sprint car race at Knoxville was horrible.
• 8:29
  Nobody battled James McFadden. No, I thought.
• 8:33
  I thought that was pretty rare to make James McFadden he run
• 8:37
  away with a good job by the Australian.
• 8:44
  Congratulations, James McFadden. So hopefully I've explained
• 8:49
  myself now I'm right because I'm strong.
• 8:53
  You don't just can win me over. You don't talk to me.
• 8:56
  You should talk me. I'm going to talk you back here.
• 8:59
  Let me explain it this way. You throw a brick at me, I'm
• 9:05
  going to throw a block back. Now I'm not a bad ass.
• 9:10
  I'm just saying, OK, for the most part, I'm going to leave
• 9:14
  you with this racial. You're complaining.
• 9:16
  How much do you complain? Think about it.
• 9:19
  No, really think about it. Don't get upset with my little
• 9:23
  coffee with Kenny here. When you turn this off, you
• 9:26
  drive down to think about it. How much do you complain?
• 9:30
  I bet you complain a lot. And when you think about it,
• 9:33
  you're going to be embarrassed. Try to balance your lifeout
• 9:38
  Complain a little bit and love a lot.
• 9:41
  Complain a little bit and love a lot.
• 9:46
  All right, now that I've chewed your ass out because you jumped
• 9:49
  my ass. You started this, you started
• 9:52
  it. Have a great Monday everybody,
• 9:56
  and I do love you very much.
