  Happy Tuesday morning everybody. You talk about crazy Midwest
• 0:09
  weather. Up until 3-4 days ago we had
• 0:14
  death, heat and humidity. Now it's 56° out.
• 0:20
  I got the fireplace on and look what is back in action.
• 0:26
  The coffee with Kenny Little coat.
• 0:31
  It's cold this morning. All right, everybody, we got a
• 0:36
  variety of things to talk about. You know, me, I like to push the
• 0:43
  envelope. That means I like to talk about
• 0:46
  things that people think are taboo.
• 0:51
  Oh, hey, Wallace, I want to hear you talk about this one.
• 0:55
  See if Wallace talks about it. I love it.
• 1:00
  OK, so I see we have a lot of new people to coffee with.
• 1:06
  Kenny, I want to welcome you all.
• 1:08
  I love you. Now first topic we're going to
• 1:12
  talk about is my hairs. Yes, my hairs.
• 1:17
  Let's take the camera and scroll the top of my head.
• 1:22
  So I want all of you to slowly look at my hairs.
• 1:26
  OK, Going to put the coffee down.
• 1:31
  Hey, Waltz, What would you were to steal that that would burn
• 1:34
  your Weiner. Ha, ha.
• 1:39
  But I'm not going to spill it. All right, here we go.
• 1:43
  Ready. All right.
• 1:56
  OK, you see all that, All right? The bald people, they're
• 2:02
  obsessed with my hair. They're jealous of my beautiful
• 2:07
  hairs. HAIR capital S plurals.
• 2:15
  Guys, you're late to the party. Years ago, live on Speed TV from
• 2:21
  Daytona, I announced to the world that I spent $19,000
• 2:28
  Schrader, Schrader says. I told Schrader, you know,
• 2:33
  Schrader goes. You know, 25 years ago, Schrader
• 2:36
  goes. Your hair looks good, I said.
• 2:39
  I said, Schrader 22 Bosley transplants and you know, 9
• 2:46
  grand at a time. Schrader goes and that's all you
• 2:50
  got. That's all the hair they gave
• 2:52
  you for 19 grand. So anyway, I understand that a
• 2:58
  lot of people that are bald are jealous of my hairs.
• 3:02
  And listen, I love you all. And yes, So what?
• 3:09
  You know, hey, it's just the way it is.
• 3:12
  I thought I thought I'd try it and looks damn good.
• 3:16
  Of course you could tell I did it and that's fine, but still
• 3:21
  looks good. The doctor, what they do is they
• 3:27
  take and that you can, there's a slice in the back of my head
• 3:31
  like here. And there's 4 nurses and they,
• 3:36
  they each nurse takes a strip of hair like and and they grab each
• 3:42
  follicle. And then the doctor comes along
• 3:44
  with a knife just like a farm, just like a field.
• 3:50
  And they're farming. They replant those hairs.
• 3:54
  So they steal your hair from here, put it here.
• 3:57
  Now, that was back in the early 1800s when they did my hair
• 4:01
  operation. Nowadays they got to perfect it.
• 4:04
  You look at people like Chad Canals and a lot of those guys,
• 4:08
  they got a full head of hair. Now I think I'll just leave my
• 4:13
  alone. I'm getting so old now.
• 4:14
  Don't matter. But anyway, yeah, hey, I tell
• 4:18
  you another thing I did, I started getting all these sun
• 4:21
  spots all over my face and I was at my dermatologist.
• 4:25
  I go to dermatologist once or twice a year.
• 4:29
  My aunt Millie died. So I go to the dermatologist,
• 4:32
  She died of skin cancer situation.
• 4:35
  But but anyway, they take and they put this gel, you know,
• 4:40
  kind of numbs your face up a little bit and they go click,
• 4:42
  click, click, click. Anyway, and all those brown
• 4:46
  spots all over your face, all those sun spots, you know,
• 4:49
  you're looking in the mirror and you see all these little sun
• 4:51
  spots. It it is basically you wear
• 4:55
  those sun spots as pride. It means you've lived life hard.
• 5:00
  But anyway, I thought I'd look a little better.
• 5:02
  And they burned them all off and they all just kind of fell off.
• 5:06
  My daughter Brooke said. God, Dad, you look so much
• 5:10
  younger. So anyway, yeah, that's all I
• 5:14
  got for you. That's all my business.
• 5:17
  I hope you enjoyed that. And.
• 5:19
  Yeah. All right.
• 5:21
  I I saw a couple people that are new, They comment on my hair,
• 5:24
  say no, honestly, you know, I poked fun at all of you.
• 5:29
  But some people think they're going to get me.
• 5:32
  They're going to get me. Hey, look at Wallace's hairline.
• 5:35
  I don't give a flying what you look at.
• 5:37
  I really don't. I'm too old, OK this morning.
• 5:47
  I don't know why, because Darlington's coming up.
• 5:52
  The first race of the playoffs is coming up now.
• 5:55
  I want to stop for a minute. I know my voice is a little
• 5:58
  rough this morning. My Mama worries about that.
• 6:01
  She says, Ken, Hun, I'm worried about your voice.
• 6:05
  Mama, I love you. My voice is fine.
• 6:08
  I'm just a little got a frog in my throat this morning.
• 6:13
  Hey, maybe I'm getting sick. Wallace, go to the Mayo Clinic
• 6:17
  and get a full physical. Oh, I already did.
• 6:20
  All's good. Simmer down.
• 6:26
  OK, so we're running Darlington this week for the first race in
• 6:32
  the playoffs. But so many years ago I won
• 6:37
  Bristol and that's the topic. That's that's what's out there
• 6:41
  right now on social media. Also, brother Rusty Wallace blew
• 6:49
  a right front tire and flipped at Bristol at that's that's in
• 6:53
  the news today and that's what we're going to go with.
• 6:56
  So let me tell you about that. It was during the tire wars.
• 7:02
  It was Hoosier. Hoosier tires.
• 7:04
  Not who's your daddy? Hey Waltz, who's your daddy?
• 7:11
  Not not who's your daddy, but who's your tires?
• 7:15
  It was verse Goodyear. Well, Rusty had some Hoosier
• 7:19
  tires on to qualify because they were they were fast.
• 7:22
  So brother Rusty is known for eating very fast.
• 7:28
  So he goes inside the Kodiak smokeless tobacco Blue Max race
• 7:33
  team. Barry Dotson, the crew chief
• 7:37
  man, had some great employees on that team.
• 7:43
  Had Todd Parrot. Harold Elliot, the Motor builder
• 7:48
  had some great people that went on to be crew chiefs.
• 7:52
  Jimmy God forgot. Two of them went on to be crew
• 7:55
  chiefs and win championships. I got brain fade.
• 8:01
  I forgot one of the other guys, but Todd Parrot went on to win
• 8:04
  Dale Jarrett's championship. Jimmy respond right here.
• 8:10
  Here was the other guy. He went on to win championship
• 8:13
  over at over at Joe Gibbs. Anyway, great team.
• 8:18
  So they all agreed to put on these Hoosier tires.
• 8:21
  With the Hoosier tires they flexed under, they rolled more
• 8:25
  and the right front rolled under and hit the the sway bar hind
• 8:29
  joint and blew the tire out as Rusty came off of turn 4 and
• 8:35
  Rusty hit the wall, flipped violently.
• 8:39
  Now remember I told you Rusty's a fast eater before he got in
• 8:44
  the car, he ran to the tractor trailer, made a he's big at
• 8:48
  hand. Just we're rednecks from
• 8:50
  Missouri. We love Bologna and cheese of
• 8:54
  mayonnaise on it. Back in the early 1800s, we did
• 8:57
  that. So Rusty Wolf, that sandwich
• 9:01
  down got in the car, went to make a qualified lap, hit that
• 9:05
  wall, flipped end over in and I just happened to be there.
• 9:09
  This was during the start of my racing career and I'm running
• 9:14
  ASA the American Speed Association.
• 9:17
  But somehow I go down there, I fly down there and I'm down
• 9:21
  there and this happened and I'm there and Oh my God, my heart
• 9:25
  sinks because I love my brother Rusty and I love my brother
• 9:29
  Mike, but I wear my heart on my sleeves for my brothers.
• 9:34
  What that means is if you with my brothers, you're with me.
• 9:39
  Now, I'm not trying to be a tough guy.
• 9:40
  I'm just telling you that's how much I love my family.
• 9:44
  So I go running to the front straightaway.
• 9:48
  Guess who's the first one on the car?
• 9:51
  Dale Earnhardt, senior #3 the man in black.
• 9:55
  Herman, help me take care of your brother, me and Earnhardt.
• 9:59
  Well, now that I think about it, I'm standing on the front
• 10:01
  straightaway for some reason watching Rusty make qualifying
• 10:04
  lap. But I'm pretty sure we were on
• 10:06
  the back straight away. I think.
• 10:09
  So Park, you know, with the blue Max car, the Kodiak smokeless
• 10:14
  tobacco car, me and Earnhardt's there.
• 10:18
  And as you see the stories, Doctor Jerry Punch saves Rusty's
• 10:23
  life. Because when Rusty wrecks, the
• 10:26
  sandwich comes up, comes back up, because the sandwich is not
• 10:30
  fully down in Rusty's esophagus. It comes up, it sticks in his
• 10:35
  Airways and Rusty's not breathing.
• 10:37
  Jerry Punch. Now Rusty's knocked out.
• 10:41
  Imagine this. Rusty's knocked out.
• 10:43
  That's how fast Bristol is. Doctor Jerry Punch lists Rusty
• 10:48
  up and saves Rusty's life. Now, if you go to the go, go to
• 10:55
  YouTube, push in Kenny Wallace, Doctor Jerry Punch.
• 10:59
  I did a nice impromptu, impromptu Kenny conversation
• 11:06
  with Doctor Jerry Punch from the Bristol Motor Speedway press
• 11:11
  room last year or the year before.
• 11:13
  But it's really there in detail and Doctor Punch talks about it.
• 11:18
  All right, everybody, I, you know, we can, we can choose more
• 11:21
  to talk about board. 11 minutes. And I I hope you all enjoyed
• 11:24
  that. Look at this.
• 11:26
  Look at that. Huh.
• 11:27
  Oh, just missed it. Crazy ass.
• 11:33
  It was just complete Armageddon this all summer.
• 11:36
  Now the weather is going to be beautiful.
• 11:38
  And don't you know, we're going to race in today, in December,
• 11:40
  We'll race into December. That the weather is advanced
• 11:44
  this year. It means it rains and it's
• 11:46
  horrible all summer and then it gets nice in September and it's
• 11:51
  going to stay nice forever. But it is cold this morning.
• 11:55
  It is cold. All right, everybody have a
• 12:00
  great Tuesday and respond right here.
• 12:03
  If you're jealous of my hair, all you bald guys quit taking
• 12:08
  out on me. I can't help it.
• 12:10
  Go get your own hair operation, damn it.
