What Do NASCAR & WWE Have in Common? | Coffee With Kenny · Kenny Wallace Media

• 0:02
  Happy Friday morning everybody from a very snowy St.
• 0:09
  Louis, MO. Can you believe this?
• 0:12
  Another looks to me like about another four or five inches
• 0:15
  today. Never saw this coming.
• 0:19
  I can always tell how much it snows by my table.
• 0:24
  My table was just about no snow. Now it's got lots of snow and
• 0:28
  it's still snowing. All right, well, today we are
• 0:34
  going to talk about a race or a show on X on social media.
• 0:44
  Had a had somebody act like they was trying to prove a point to
• 0:48
  me. They said, they said Kenny
• 0:53
  Wallace. NASCAR needs to take a look at
• 0:56
  this. So I look at it, WWE had a
• 1:04
  Netflix debut with 4.9 million viewers.
• 1:12
  Those are big numbers. Those are really big numbers
• 1:15
  considering a an IndyCar race. They're they're lucky if well,
• 1:21
  they they had a race last year in Alabama that didn't draw.
• 1:24
  But 168,000 people watching because they don't promote
• 1:30
  IndyCar league doesn't promote they they say they don't have
• 1:33
  money to promote their sport. The the, the greatest race cars,
• 1:41
  very engineering minded, but yet you got some people over here
• 1:47
  dressing up in a ring and fighting each other.
• 1:51
  Get 4.9 million views. The Daytona 500, you know, I
• 2:01
  mean, they've had views well up in your 710,000,000 people, but
• 2:07
  we're talking about going over here on Netflix.
• 2:10
  Netflix you got to pay for the subscription you you got to
• 2:14
  download it on your smart TV. You got to make an effort right?
• 2:19
  You have to make an effort to get on Netflix, you got to buy
• 2:23
  the subscription and WWE on their debut 4.9 million people.
• 2:32
  Now this is a true 2 prong study here.
• 2:37
  OK, number one, you know you hear some, that's me going
• 2:43
  through the snow right now. Look at this.
• 2:49
  What I won't do to get get y'all to look.
• 2:53
  It's like I've had so many. OK, look, here's the reason I'm
• 2:56
  out here. I've had so many people say
• 2:59
  Herman you need to go out in the snow.
• 3:01
  So damn it here I am and it's snowing its ass off on me.
• 3:06
  I don't know if you can see, but it's snowing pretty damn hard.
• 3:09
  All right, so the subject matter is what I just talked about.
• 3:15
  I, I have so many of you old people out there.
• 3:18
  Listen, I'm old too. I'm 61, but I'm a badass.
• 3:21
  Look how good I look. You know, you all say I hate
• 3:28
  NASCAR. They make me pay to watch it.
• 3:32
  I'm going to repeat that because I'm a smart ass right now, but
• 3:34
  I'm happy. That's the difference.
• 3:36
  I'm real happy. I'm happily being a smart ass.
• 3:39
  I don't like NASCAR. They make me pay to watch it,
• 3:46
  but you're yet here we are over here paying a good fee to get
• 3:52
  Netflix to watch wrestling and respectfully, those are great
• 3:58
  athletes. Those are great athletes and we
• 4:01
  know that they are great athletes.
• 4:03
  However, they have all clearly come out and said it's a show
• 4:10
  and 4.9 million people watched. So everything you say about
• 4:14
  NASCAR is wrong because you don't want to pay because you're
• 4:19
  too old and you remember the old days where you don't pay.
• 4:25
  But yet over here they pay whatever it takes to get Netflix
• 4:30
  to log on for 4.9 million people for WWE.
• 4:35
  So here, here's my case to all of you.
• 4:39
  Times are changing. You don't have to have TV, but
• 4:43
  you're going to have something now you you can sit in your
• 4:46
  house and nobody's going to see you.
• 4:49
  There's not going to be a camera on you.
• 4:52
  So you're only hurting yourself, but yet you're going to get on
• 4:55
  the phone that you pay for monthly.
• 5:00
  You know, you pay a good amount of money for your phone monthly.
• 5:03
  Now you, you got no money, but you're going to get on your
• 5:06
  phone that you pay hundreds of dollars, $100 a month, whatever
• 5:09
  it is. I know some of you are going to
• 5:11
  go. I don't pay for $60.00 a month.
• 5:14
  Well then, then you barely got a phone.
• 5:18
  You might have something that I don't know what it is, but
• 5:23
  you're going to pay for your phone to get on the phone and
• 5:26
  tell us I'm not watching. But yet you, you, you making the
• 5:29
  point. So, so it not in ending, but
• 5:35
  here's my point. This is where we are now.
• 5:40
  You're you're going to pay for what you want to watch.
• 5:44
  I don't know if you can still get free TVI guess you can, but
• 5:47
  you got to have Wi-Fi. You you can, you can take your
• 5:51
  phone that you pay for and use it as a hotspot.
• 5:54
  So in other words, you got the you got the smart TV on the
• 5:57
  wall. Now you need Wi-Fi to operate
• 6:00
  it. I guess you don't really don't
• 6:01
  need Wi-Fi, but I guess you could use your phone as a
• 6:04
  hotspot for a little bit. But then you got to one day
• 6:07
  you're going to have to use your phone.
• 6:09
  So it's hard to do it all and, and, and win the world and prove
• 6:14
  your point to me. The point I'm making is this,
• 6:19
  people are paying a lot of money to get on Netflix or Hulu or
• 6:23
  Warner Brothers, whatever it is. And that's where that's where
• 6:27
  NASCAR's going. That's my point.
• 6:30
  And there's going to be a lot of streaming in NASCAR this year
• 6:33
  and everybody's like, I hate NASCAR.
• 6:37
  Well, the WWE just put their first show on Netflix and it's
• 6:41
  4.9 million views. So I don't think NASCAR is going
• 6:46
  the wrong way. I think they're going the right
• 6:49
  way. Now my son in
• 7:04
  XYZABCDEFGHI look at me. I know, I know that.
• 7:13
  I know that Jake, Jake, my oldest, he's a smart man, but he
• 7:19
  don't like paying for TV. You go to my daughter Brooke's
• 7:22
  house and there's just like something up there.
• 7:23
  It's like, what is this? And they hold on my phone
• 7:28
  slipping away here that you go to my daughter Brooke's house
• 7:32
  and they just they just figured out they got that smart TV up
• 7:35
  there. They got the babies.
• 7:36
  They watch some type of TV. So in ending here, here's Mike.
• 7:42
  I want you to all respond right here.
• 7:44
  WWE got 4.9 million views on pay TV, Netflix.
• 7:53
  So so is NASCAR wrong? I think NASCAR did the right
• 7:56
  thing. I think NASCAR did the right
• 7:59
  thing. All right, respond right here,
• 8:01
  everybody. The subject matter is WWE 4.9
• 8:05
  million views on Netflix and that that's where we're headed.
• 8:09
  NASCAR cannot ignore that because everybody else is doing
• 8:13
  it. Remember us old people?
• 8:16
  We got to get with it. All right from a snowy Arnold,
• 8:20
  MO again, just just had the snow off that hot tub yesterday.
• 8:29
  Took it off, closing in on another three inches.
• 8:32
  Got to mighty.
