  I look like I got a haircut because when I'm at the races I
• 0:12
  just don't like hair. But yet I want hair when I want
• 0:16
  it. So I had my daughter give me a
• 0:19
  haircut. She's so good.
• 0:22
  By the way, if you are a lady and you are around the Saint
• 0:28
  Louis area, check it out. Brandy Louder Wallace or Brandy
• 0:36
  Wallace Louder, whatever you want to say.
• 0:38
  Her maiden name is Wallace Brandy Louder.
• 0:43
  Brandy is world famous, she really is.
• 0:48
  She had a hair salon called B Lee Studios up in Birkdale up
• 0:53
  there, you know, in Charlotte, NC Birkdale's where all the
• 0:57
  wealthy people live, all the trophy girls, all the NASCAR
• 1:03
  girls, they come in, they come to Brandy.
• 1:06
  Brandy specializes and she is the best at what they call in
• 1:11
  the salon business. Cut, cut in color.
• 1:14
  Brandy can mix colors for you ladies better than anybody in
• 1:18
  America. It's all in her head.
• 1:20
  She's really good at it. So she does my hairs and I just
• 1:28
  realized I look like because I, you know, I got around last
• 1:34
  night, got around 11:30 at the racetrack and the dew settled in
• 1:38
  and all of a sudden I started losing my voice.
• 1:41
  Last couple days I've had this nasty like I feel good, but but
• 1:48
  I drank water all night long. I went through 5 bottles of
• 1:52
  water. So I'm drinking lots of water.
• 1:55
  I had bananas, apples. I instead of instead of eating
• 2:01
  an old the old hamburger last night at the racetrack, I take
• 2:04
  my lunch like a factory worker and my buddy that surprised me.
• 2:08
  He looked at me and I could tell these things looking at me.
• 2:12
  He goes, Herman, how much you weigh?
• 2:14
  I said, oh, about one 67168 because they eat good, but I
• 2:20
  drink plenty water. So just kind of, I don't know
• 2:25
  what's going on around here kind of in the air.
• 2:29
  OK, this is a late coffee with Kenny.
• 2:35
  Swear to God, my hand on the Bible was not going to do a
• 2:38
  coffee with Kenny today. But I thought, well, I'll put a
• 2:43
  little something out there. And I, you know, I put that post
• 2:47
  out there yesterday. The problem with NASCAR today is
• 2:52
  that people want to talk about the old days more than they do
• 2:56
  right now. Now, must give credit where
• 3:00
  credit's due. Mark Martin brought this up.
• 3:03
  Mark. Mark said.
• 3:04
  Herman explained to me why the YouTube races get way more views
• 3:09
  of the races today. Mark was right.
• 3:14
  So today I get on and I just start scrolling.
• 3:21
  I'm like, holy am I singing things?
• 3:24
  That post yesterday, just a typed post.
• 3:28
  I said. The real problem with NASCAR is
• 3:31
  people want to talk about the old days more than they do the
• 3:36
  drivers today. 225,000 likes or a quarter of a million.
• 3:49
  Holy Batman, did that statement hit a nerve.
• 3:56
  So let's talk about it. Let's take a drink.
• 3:59
  Coffee. Why does the good old days
• 4:09
  visit? I don't even know if I'm saying
• 4:14
  it right. You all know that we can't go
• 4:17
  back to the good old days, right?
• 4:19
  You know that. And, and here's why we cannot go
• 4:23
  back to the good old days. It's kind of like The Beatles.
• 4:29
  It's kind of like the great, you know, Aerosmith and good
• 4:34
  rock'n'roll music or even disco. They killed rock'n'roll, They
• 4:41
  killed disco. And I pay attention to music.
• 4:44
  But Youngblood from over in London.
• 4:48
  Youngblood is over here and you know, Rock'n'roll will never
• 4:52
  die. I love Rock'n'roll and
• 4:54
  Rock'n'roll is making a small comeback because of Young Blood,
• 4:58
  you know, and Ozzy Osbourne, he before Ozzy died, he said, OK,
• 5:03
  Young Blood is taking my place, so to speak, because Sharon,
• 5:08
  Ozzy's wife, she deemed she deemed Young Blood and so did
• 5:12
  Kelly, the kid and Jack, you know, the all the whole Osbourne
• 5:17
  group, they said Young Blood is, is the one.
• 5:20
  So then they he come over and he's torn America right now.
• 5:24
  He's a real edgy kid. He's got his hair slicked back,
• 5:28
  doesn't wear a shirt, got some leather pants on the girls
• 5:32
  loving and he's rocking. But the point is, is that he's
• 5:40
  he's hitting Rock'n'roll when they ask.
• 5:41
  He's like waking them up. Well, Aerosmith made a song with
• 5:45
  him and they're going. That's what we need for NASCAR
• 5:51
  right now. We need somebody to hit these
• 5:52
  son of a bitches in the ass and wake them up because Rusty's
• 5:58
  Rusty's going to be 70, Schrader 70.
• 6:02
  And then a lot of our drivers are dead.
• 6:04
  The drivers that made-up the good old days, they're gone.
• 6:07
  And then you question yourself, what is wrong with these drivers
• 6:12
  today? Well, they're all telling me
• 6:16
  that, oh, there's drivers out there.
• 6:18
  They're really fun. Will show us everybody so damn
• 6:23
  perfect. I'm the only son of a bitch left
• 6:25
  that is fun. I am the only son of a bitch
• 6:29
  left that will get jacked up on Sun Drop.
• 6:32
  I love Schrader. I love Schrader with my life.
• 6:36
  But he's afraid. He don't want to ruffle any
• 6:38
  feathers. He's always been like that.
• 6:43
  Dale Junior. He does a good job, but if you
• 6:46
  go to Kenny conversation, I said to Dale Junior, I said junior,
• 6:51
  now this is important. Listen to this.
• 6:53
  If you go to Kenny conversation right now, 300 and 300 and
• 6:59
  something 1000 views. It's a big interview.
• 7:02
  I did Kenny conversation with Dale junior.
• 7:04
  I said junior. I said you are so powerful,
• 7:08
  you're so big, you can rule the sport.
• 7:12
  I said, what's that make you feel like?
• 7:14
  He looks at me and he goes, I don't, I don't feel like that,
• 7:17
  He says. I feel like I'm in trouble with
• 7:19
  NASCAR all the time and I'm trying to make up from the most
• 7:26
  powerful racer in the world, Dale Earnhardt, junior people
• 7:32
  are lined up, you know, to get him to talk about their product.
• 7:36
  Georgia and South Carolina, by God, if Ozzy Osbourne and Sharon
• 7:43
  and Jack can pop young blood in the ass and go, hey, let's make
• 7:49
  Rock'n'roll great again and they start doing a deal with
• 7:53
  Aerosmith, That's what NASCAR needs.
• 7:56
  We need some of the old guys to come out of the woodworks and we
• 7:59
  need them to go. And NASCAR's great, man.

  mean, the old days were great. They were great.
• 8:19
  There's no doubt we were just a special group.
• 8:22
  You had me running my mouth. You had Rusty getting fined
• 8:27
  $2500 for saying. Then you had Dale Junior getting
• 8:33
  fine points and 25 grand for saying I ain't to my daddy when
• 8:40
  he won Talladega. We were cussing like a mother
• 8:45
