My Response To Dale Earnhardt Jr. On The NASCAR Hall Of Fame | Coffee With Kenny · Kenny Wallace Media

• 0:00
  Happy Tuesday morning everybody from a beautiful Florence,
• 0:07
  Italy. Man, I got to tell you, I'm
• 0:11
  having the time of my life. I think we have about 6 more
• 0:16
  days to go. Today's Tuesday will be coming
• 0:19
  home Sunday. Life finds a way to balance you
• 0:25
  out. Yesterday, the day before, we
• 0:29
  stayed at most likely one of the most beautiful hotels I've ever
• 0:33
  been at in my life. We stayed at the Waldorf Astoria
• 0:39
  in Rome, Italy, and that hotel had the best amenities I've ever
• 0:44
  seen. And I'm sure there's equal, but
• 0:48
  I've been to Tokyo 2 times. I've been to, you know, Greece
• 0:54
  and Canada and Mexico and I've seen a little bit.
• 1:00
  So the view here wins, wins at all.
• 1:04
  But let's take a look at your typical Rome hotel.
• 1:09
  So here we are, small, old and clean and nice.
• 1:16
  And that's it. This is the room.
• 1:19
  I mean, that's it. Got my clothes hanging in there.
• 1:23
  Hey, look, look at this, my first American sized coffee cup
• 1:29
  found right here in Florence, Italy.
• 1:33
  Let's let's take a look at how this how this coffee is made.
• 1:38
  OK, so one unique thing they have over here is kind of like
• 1:41
  instant coffee. So this is like hot water.
• 1:47
  And then they gave, they got these things here and, and you
• 1:51
  make a quick coffee, it's just hot water.
• 1:54
  And then of course, a lot of you would like to see a OK, the
• 1:57
  electric, everybody knows the electrics here.
• 2:00
  It's different. So they got like, so it's a it's
• 2:05
  a different, it's this is their electric, right?
• 2:09
  It's just different. So my daughter Brooke and her
• 2:15
  husband, Jake, they bought this thing for me that takes in,
• 2:19
  let's me plug my American plug. So it goes in like this, you
• 2:26
  know, goes in there and then I just, I'm able to take my
• 2:32
  American plug and go into there. Another thing that's typical
• 2:36
  about these European hotels, they will get this damn thing
• 2:42
  will knock you out. This baby's heavy.
• 2:46
  So, yeah, really cool. We've seen this before.
• 2:49
  When we went to last year, we went to Modena, we went to
• 2:53
  Ferrari and we stayed in a hotel room.
• 2:55
  But these, these older hotel rooms, they will give you this,
• 2:59
  this sumbitch to knock you out. It's awesome.
• 3:03
  But yeah, this is it. Just to, I mean, that's nice
• 3:07
  little, nice little room. OK, before we talk about this, I
• 3:14
  got to show you the best, the best of you.
• 3:16
  This is typical Italy over here near.
• 3:20
  All right, let's look. Nice little door.
• 3:25
  Watch this view, huh? And there it is, the legendary
• 3:40
  cathedral, The cathedral that you've all heard about, one of
• 3:44
  the most famous churches in all the world.
• 3:47
  And up there on that big hill, that's where Kim Kardashian got
• 3:51
  married to Kanye. Oh, yeah, Yeah, Florence is
• 3:56
  known for its art. How about that?
• 4:02
  We're staying right downtown. OK.
• 4:07
  Love this hotel. Like I said, little but sweet.
• 4:12
  All right, everybody. So as I was scrolling one more
• 4:17
  drink of drink of coffee here, as I was scrolling through
• 4:23
  social media this morning, it's it's early over here, 8:00,
• 4:27
  8-30, something like that. I missed something four days
• 4:33
  ago. Dale Earnhardt Junior, my dear
• 4:35
  friend, he said to Mark Martin. He said, now this is Dale
• 4:45
  Junior. Dale Junior said I, too, want to
• 4:47
  see Larry Phillips into the Hall of Fame.
• 4:50
  I'd be interested to see what Kenny Wallace has to say about
• 4:54
  this. So you all know by now that we
• 5:00
  all collaborate together. That's just the way it is.
• 5:06
  Dirty MO Media, Mike Davis and Dale Junior and of course, Kenny
• 5:11
  Wallace, Media, myself, Charlie Marlow, we're all in one big
• 5:15
  group. Everybody knows by now that Dale
• 5:19
  Junior, Mike Davis, Dirty MO Media, they own Herman Schrader.
• 5:25
  We put it all together, we produce it and then we give it
• 5:28
  to him. Same thing with Kenny
• 5:31
  conversation. If you go over it to Dirty MO
• 5:34
  Media podcast, all the Kenny conversations are in podcast
• 5:38
  form over there too. So you could say that all of us,
• 5:43
  we're one Big O team, even Jeff Gluck.
• 5:47
  Now, Jeff, Jeff probably don't like me.
• 5:52
  Not no, Jeff likes me, but I'm in his territory.
• 5:57
  Some of the NASCAR media, they're like, what the Hell's
• 6:00
  Wallace doing stepping into our territory?
• 6:03
  Well, guys, I don't step in your territory.
• 6:05
  You're journalist. You report on things.
• 6:09
  I give my opinion on what you report.
• 6:11
  That's what I do. But we're all together, OK?
• 6:15
  We're all the other one, one big old team.
• 6:19
  So I'm going to respond to my partner in crime, Dale
• 6:24
  Earnhardt, Junior junior, says Kenny Wallace.
• 6:27
  I'd like to hear your take about Larry Phillips being into the
• 6:31
  Hall of Fame. So I'm going to give it to you
• 6:34
  all. So I want Larry Phillips into
• 6:42
  the NASCAR Hall of Fame. However, I never knew that there
• 6:48
  were divisions in the Hall of Fame.
• 6:52
  Oh yeah, I bet you didn't either.
• 6:55
  So Larry Phillips has been turned down several times,
• 7:00
  probably 8 years in a row to be in the NASCAR Hall of Fame.
• 7:04
  So guess what they got Larry Phillips up for now that I
• 7:07
  didn't even know was possible. The Pioneer Hall of Fame.
• 7:14
  Oh, yeah, There's about five of them right now that can go into
• 7:18
  he's a pioneer. You know, I love that because a
• 7:24
  pioneer is somebody that was in the past.
• 7:27
  Even Richie Evans should maybe be a pioneer.
• 7:31
  A pioneer is somebody that is a trailblazer, clears the air,
• 7:36
  kind of like Danica Patrick or Janet Guthrie.
• 7:41
  They're pioneers. They cleared the path for the
• 7:44
  other ladies. Maybe Larry Phillips, maybe
• 7:47
  Richie Evans, maybe they they cleared the path.
• 7:51
  Larry Phillips cleared the path for Rusty Wallace, Kenny
• 7:54
  Schrader, Jamie McMurray, Carl Edwards, me, myself, my brother
• 8:00
  Mike Wallace. Maybe Richie Evans cleared the
• 8:03
  path for Jeff Podine, Ronnie Bouchard, all the Northeast
• 8:11
  guys. So my response to Dale Junior is
• 8:15
  this Junior, did you realize there's all these divisions in
• 8:20
  the NASCAR Hall of Fame? Oh yeah, Pioneer Media, Ken
• 8:25
  Squire Award. So if I can get Justin Algar
• 8:33
  into the, let's say, silver, I'd love that.
• 8:39
  I, too, want Justin Algar into the NASCAR Silver Hall of Fame.
• 8:48
  Now, I know that you all know that I'm right about this.
• 8:53
  I'm not going to argue about it because I'm a I'm a master
• 8:56
  debater. I know that's funny, right?
• 9:05
  So here's the way it will be. It will be the NASCAR Hall of
• 9:11
  Fame meant for the Cup drivers at the highest level there is,
• 9:17
  and they will wear the gold jacket, green jacket.
• 9:21
  Take the green jacket, put some gold around it up here.
• 9:25
  Tell all the drivers, please ship your green jackets back.
• 9:30
  Put a little gold somewhere. Now the O'Reilly Auto Parts
• 9:35
  drivers, they will get a green jacket, but somewhere on the
• 9:39
  jacket will be a nice little silver something.
• 9:42
  And then for the trucks, you too, you'll get bronze, you'll
• 9:46
  get a little bronze something somewhere.
• 9:49
  Now when things are started, they're not meant to be perfect.
• 9:53
  So come to find out there was some mistakes made and now with
• 9:58
  discussion and master debating, we've figured it out.
• 10:03
  So since they have denied my Larry Phillips into the NASCAR
• 10:07
  Hall of Fame, however, he's up now for Pioneer.
• 10:14
  What do you know? This is a great discussion, and
• 10:19
  discussion is what it's all about.
• 10:21
  And I'll leave you with something Mark Martin said.
• 10:25
  See, you people have got to be able to have a civil discussion
• 10:31
  without getting so mean. All right, everybody, I want
• 10:39
  Justin Algar into the NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Hall of Fame
• 10:45
  with a nice little silver streak, but he's not a Cup Hall
• 10:48
  of Famer. And remember this, I love Justin
• 10:52
  Algar because he's from the Midwest and his family and my
• 10:56
  family were family. But like I said, you mean to
• 11:00
  tell me you're going to put a truck driver like Matt Crafton
• 11:05
  or an Xfinity driver like Justin Agar right next to Richard
• 11:09
  Petty? I can see the headlines now.
• 11:14
  Denny Hamlin and Kenny Wallace, Versedale Junior and Kyle Petty.
• 11:22
  Have a great Tuesday, everybody.
