  Happy Monday morning to everybody drinking my high
• 0:08
  octane coffee fueled by Sunoco. Had two things happened to me
• 0:14
  over the weekend that set up a pattern.
• 0:19
  Gave me some great stories to tell you right here on Coffee
• 0:22
  with Kenny. So I went and bought a generator
• 0:27
  and then a couple days later I watched a Netflix special on the
• 0:32
  Rock group Nickelback. What the hell does a generator
• 0:38
  and Nickelback have in common? Well, listen to this damn story.
• 0:43
  It has to do with, no, you don't like that.
• 0:48
  I'm like, what? You don't like either one of
• 0:51
  them? I'm like, Oh well, OK, let me
• 0:53
  tell you my story. So about four years ago, I'm I'm
• 1:01
  running my dirt car, but I had sold my big Ford F-450 dually
• 1:09
  sold my big trailer. Remember that those days I told
• 1:13
  you all that I'm right sizing. Well, with the with the Ford
• 1:18
  F-450 dually in the big white trailer.
• 1:21
  It was nice. You know, before that I had a
• 1:23
  double stacker. I carried 2 cars, had a big
• 1:27
  truck. So you would park next to your
• 1:33
  your competitors, right? I'm up in Jacksonville, IL and I
• 1:40
  got AI got an old generator and it's a clang and it's a hey
• 1:48
  Herman, how's that go again? That's the way my old generator
• 1:57
  went. You know, one of those, one of
• 1:59
  those old cheap generators because we got no money.
• 2:03
  We got no money. So we just go buy a generator
• 2:07
  because we going to do the best with what we got.
• 2:10
  We ain't going to worry about what we not going to drive that
• 2:14
  Chevy Frank Dean and I built try a little harder than everybody
• 2:19
  else. I'm doing the best with what I
• 2:22
  got. You didn't think I didn't know
• 2:26
  that was coming either. That is a that's an old NASCAR
• 2:32
  goes country song. Dave Marcus sang that song doing
• 2:36
  the best with what I got. I ain't going to worry about
• 2:39
  what I'm not. So I'm being poor.
• 2:43
  But I got a nice truck and trailer and I don't know any
• 2:46
  different that old that old generators just declining.
• 2:50
  And my dear friend Kenny Schrader walks up me and he said
• 2:55
  get a new generator. You're annoying.
• 2:59
  Your loud generator is annoying parked next to you here at
• 3:03
  Jacksonville, IL little bitty dirt track.
• 3:07
  Well, embarrassed me. So I said what kind of generator
• 3:12
  should I get? And he motions me on over and
• 3:14
  his his Honda generator. Kenny Schroeder got a Honda
• 3:18
  generator and it's just a pern. It's so quiet.
• 3:23
  It's quiet. Kenny's Honda generator.
• 3:25
  Kenny Schrader got a Honda generator 7500 Watt, whatever
• 3:31
  you want to call it, Voltage respond right here.
• 3:34
  What's the difference between Watt and voltage?
• 3:36
  I don't even know. I only went one through 12.
• 3:39
  I ain't that smart. So I go up here to Dave Muggin
• 3:44
  ass Honda and I got I get this son of a bitch $6000 to make
• 3:53
  Kenny Schrader happy. So I get a Honda generator
• 3:57
  because it's the best. They told me it's the best.
• 4:01
  So I go get this Honda generator and it's quiet.
• 4:06
  You can talk to yourself while it's going, but it was over
• 4:10
  $6000. Boy, Wallace must be nice have
• 4:14
  all that NASCAR money. No, I bought the son of a bitch
• 4:20
  because Schrader wanted me to. This is the true story.
• 4:25
  So let's take a little sip of this coffee.
• 4:32
  So now I sell the truck and trailer to Tate Bomber at out of
• 4:38
  Wisconsin. Hi Tate, your buddies are going
• 4:41
  to tell you about this. So I sell the truck and trailer
• 4:44
  to Tate Bomber and Tate goes, I really want that generator said,
• 4:49
  OK, I'll sell it to you for $4000, getting $2000 off it.
• 4:54
  My stuff's nice. Like when I sell stuff, you're
• 4:57
  getting something brand new. It's just broke in.
• 5:00
  It's better than new. When Kenny Wallace sells stuff,
• 5:03
  it's it's brand new and everybody knows that.
• 5:06
  That's why everybody wants to buy everything for me and then I
• 5:09
  price it to sell. If you buy something, you want
• 5:13
  to buy things for me because I, I almost give it away.
• 5:17
  So, you know, I, I sell everything now.
• 5:20
  Now I need a generator. So I hear from Michael Long, I
• 5:25
  hear from all the race car drivers.
• 5:28
  Jacob Pole, Oh wimpy Chris La Rose decals in my cars.
• 5:34
  All the race car drivers, all of the dirt racers, every one of
• 5:38
  them around this air like Herman, you need to go to Harbor
• 5:42
  Freight. They got a kick ass generator up
• 5:44
  there. It's quiet, $850 made in China.
• 5:51
  They break, you just take them back, they got warranty and you
• 5:53
  get a new one. I said, really, he says, But
• 5:57
  they never break. They're awesome.
• 5:59
  I said, OK, so all my buddies, all my buddies, all my dirt
• 6:03
  racers, they got these Harbor Freight generators.
• 6:06
  You go to Harbor Freight place is awesome.
• 6:09
  I love Harbor Freight. So I get this generator and it's
• 6:16
  three years later and it's perfect.
• 6:17
  There's nothing wrong with it. And I get I get the Harbor
• 6:20
  Freight generator 3500. It's enough.
• 6:25
  Does everything I want to do can you can stand right next to it
• 6:28
  and talk so Schrader won't get mad at me.
• 6:33
  So the other day my son-in-law, Brody sends me a coupon says
• 6:37
  hey, that same generator that they're selling that damn thing
• 6:40
  only on December 21st for a 595. I'm like, damn.
• 6:47
  And I got like, I got some Harbor Freight gift cards still
• 6:52
  leftover from my birthday. And I got these Visa credit
• 6:58
  cards that K&L ready mix, my sponsor, they give me a box of
• 7:02
  chocolates and they give me some nice little gift cards.
• 7:06
  Well, I gather these babies up and I March my ass right up to
• 7:09
  Harbor Freight and I get me a generator because I just want
• 7:13
  one, another one. I just want another one because
• 7:15
  it's like, hey, they're giving, they're giving them away.
• 7:17
  You might as well get one. So I spent like $365 and of
• 7:23
  course I think it's cool. So I post a coupon on Facebook
• 7:29
  to help all my buddies out. And actually Larry Hamilton goes
• 7:34
  and gets another one too. And he goes, Herman, thanks for
• 7:37
  posting that coupon. Now, I've done something real
• 7:40
  nice here. And I said, by the way, you get
• 7:43
  a free bucket when you go over and get this this generator that
• 7:47
  we all like. Now I've done told you why I go
• 7:50
  get this quiet generator. I've done spent the $6000 on
• 7:54
  the, you know, perfect one. What a an idiot I was.
• 8:00
  So I spent $850 on this generator, you know, four years
• 8:05
  ago and it's still running perfect, but I'm going to go get
• 8:07
  the same one because they're giving them away.
• 8:10
  I'm no different than you are. It's a deal.
• 8:12
  Oh, I got a deal, right. So I, oh, I'm, I'm relaxing late
• 8:21
  last night on Sunday night and I, I realize that I've done the
• 8:25
  wrong thing. I, I have people telling me
• 8:28
  that, hey, Wallace, that's a piece of junk you got there is
• 8:32
  made in China. I said, oh, so it's no good.
• 8:37
  No, it's no good. You don't like it.
• 8:44
  You know those type of people, right?
• 8:47
  They don't got one. Now these people don't got one,
• 8:50
  but they've done their research. This little generation made in
• 8:53
  China, and you don't like it. I'm like, but I do like it.
• 8:58
  It's really good. And if something happens to it,
• 9:02
  the warranty is awesome. You just take it back.
• 9:06
  Now, 99% of the people going to see this, they're going to go,
• 9:09
  that's right, Herman. But the moral of the story is
• 9:12
  you don't like it, you don't like it.
• 9:16
  I'm like, OK, now that's funny. Right now the same thing happens
• 9:23
  to me last night. I'm on Netflix and I'm watching
• 9:28
  a really good special about the rock group Nickelback out of
• 9:32
  Hannah. What?
• 9:34
  Over there in Canada by Calgary. OK, hell of a group.
• 9:40
  I mean, buddy, they got hit song after hit song and really,
• 9:44
  really good, really good Netflix special.
• 9:48
  Four guys come out of little bitty town over there by Calgary
• 9:53
  and they, they, they're doing it.
• 9:55
  And these guys, they got to borrow $4000 from their mom so
• 10:00
  their mom could get, they could get some records made.
• 10:04
  The lead singer takes out a $30,000 loan so he can keep
• 10:09
  going. And you know, the mom and dad,
• 10:12
  they all go Yep, Yep. And they make it.
• 10:16
  They made it to the big time. Well, all of a sudden every
• 10:22
  radio station in in America just playing their songs non-stop
• 10:26
  because they accidentally in one year made like 3, five hit songs
• 10:32
  in a row in a row, you know, So Nickelback's kicking ass.
• 10:38
  And then all of a sudden, like a bunch of bullies in school,
• 10:44
  there's this little thing online I don't like Nickelback.
• 10:47
  They're corporate. Their songs are too good.
• 10:53
  There's this goofy ass thought in rock music or in any type of
• 10:57
  music that you're selling out, if you sell songs that are too
• 11:02
  good. See, musicians are a little
• 11:05
  strange. They want you to make some bad
• 11:08
  songs, songs that nobody likes, but they tell a story that's
• 11:13
  true. And that's just an underground
• 11:15
  thought inside the music world. You can't.
• 11:19
  You can't always, you cannot make hit songs.
• 11:21
  You have to. You have to play songs that are
• 11:24
  no good. And then we'll let you have some
• 11:27
  hit songs every once in a while. That's why you see Miley Cyrus
• 11:30
  going hiding. A lot of these musicians know
• 11:34
  that too much. You see Taylor Swift now, she'll
• 11:38
  go quiet for a while. Well, Nickelback can.
• 11:41
  It cannot help it, right? They can't help it that the that
• 11:45
  the radio stations just keep playing their song.
• 11:48
  So all of a sudden there's become this new fad.
• 11:50
  Everybody going to hate Nickelback, which I thought was
• 11:53
  sad. I didn't like it.
• 11:57
  So I get on X and I said I like Nickelback. 100% cannot
• 12:08
  comprehend not liking Nickelback.
• 12:11
  Same thing as the generator. No, you don't know Wallace.
• 12:15
  You do not like Nickelback. I'm like, oh, I don't like them.
• 12:18
  OK. It's like being in grade school,
• 12:22
  you know? Hey, the Kansas City Chiefs are
• 12:25
  doing really good. Yeah, but they're barely
• 12:27
  winning. They're barely winning.
• 12:28
  You don't like them? You see the pattern set up here?
• 12:33
  When when you when you like something, it's really good.
• 12:35
  And then somebody tries to tell you you don't like it.
• 12:39
  Here's my message. Go yourself.
• 12:45
  Go yourself. All right.
• 12:51
  Have a great day.
