I Had Metal in My Eye, Rusty Wallace Tells an Epic NASCAR Story & My Friends Love The F1 Movie | Coffee With Kenny · Kenny Wallace Media

  Happy Friday morning, everybody. I drove myself back crazy
• 0:08
  yesterday. I was having an issue with that
• 0:14
  eye. See, see this eye right here?
• 0:16
  So it's a little weak looking. So anyway, yesterday's Thursday,
• 0:22
  but on Wednesday, Wednesday, I'm grinding.
• 0:25
  I'm grinding a little something on my race car.
• 0:30
  I had these glasses on and I had a shield on.
• 0:35
  Well, Wednesday night I go to bed.
• 0:37
  I'm like so, so I'm grinding like at 2O clock in the day and
• 0:42
  around 11 O clock at night. I go to bed.
• 0:43
  I'm like what what's going on here?
• 0:46
  I'm losing my mind. So I I go to the eye doctor and
• 0:50
  thank God they're able to get me in within one hour.
• 0:54
  They said doctors at lunch. So I went to lunch.
• 0:56
  I came back. Love my eye doctor.
• 1:00
  I put my face in this little deal.
• 1:02
  He put some yellow dye in there. He flips my eyelid up and goes,
• 1:06
  oh, yeah, I think I can help you.
• 1:08
  Sure enough, peels at this little bitty piece of metal.
• 1:12
  I mean, immediate relief. But all day yesterday, well,
• 1:18
  half a day yesterday, I was miserable.
• 1:21
  So thank you to the eye doctor. And the older I get, they say
• 1:27
  keep an eye on your eyes, it's important.
• 1:33
  OK, Yesterday I did a Kenny conversation with brother Rusty
• 1:41
  Wallace and Angie Skinner, Mike Skinner's wife.
• 1:47
  Brother Rusty is getting ready on August 8th with the Rusty
• 1:53
  Wallace ride. So I called it the Rusty Wallace
• 1:58
  Charity Ride, but you go to rustywallaceride.com.
• 2:02
  We're out in Sturgis. We're going to be starting
• 2:03
  downtown Deadwood. We're going to go around
• 2:07
  Spearfish Canyon. It's going to be a great time.
• 2:10
  Make sure you sign up. I will be there, Skinner will be
• 2:15
  there, Rusty will be there, Clint Boyer.
• 2:18
  There's going to be a lot of great people there, but Downtown
• 2:22
  Deadwood is awesome. We had Rusty and we had Angie
• 2:25
  Skinner on and we're going to do a little promo and I said, hey
• 2:28
  brother, hey Angie, let's talk a little NASCAR while we're on
• 2:31
  here. Wow.
• 2:34
  I think we got the very best Rusty Wallace of all time.
• 2:38
  Charlie is editing it all up right now while we promote the
• 2:42
  August 8th Rusty Wallace ride leaving Downtown Deadwood, South
• 2:50
  Dakota. We got some stories from Rusty
• 2:54
  that made me go. I didn't know that Rusty tells
• 2:58
  this story where he almost got kicked out by NASCAR for life
• 3:02
  and it's a real story. And I looked at him and I said I
• 3:05
  remember that. That's when, that was in 1989
• 3:09
  when Dale Senior come running to me and said you're going to have
• 3:13
  to drive the number 27 Kodiak. I believe it was a Kodiak
• 3:19
  sponsorship. He said, Herman, you're going to
• 3:22
  have to drive your brother Rusty's Cup car in the Daytona
• 3:24
  500. And I told Dale Senior, I said
• 3:27
  I'm not ready. It's just my very first year.
• 3:31
  Wait till this story comes out. Charlie's getting it ready right
• 3:35
  now. But buddy, it's a it, it, it, it
• 3:39
  is a whoa. And it's really good.
• 3:43
  Rusty takes us from the time it happens up to the office and
• 3:49
  Bill France Junior St. Wallace.
• 3:52
  If this video shows what I think's happened, you're out for
• 3:55
  life. You'll never come back to NASCAR
• 3:57
  again. I'm not going to spoil it, but
• 4:01
  absolutely unbelievable. So TuneIn, we did about an hour
• 4:06
  and 15 minutes with Rusty and Angie Skinner.
• 4:09
  Once again, we're getting ready for Rusty Wallace ride.
• 4:13
  Go to rustywallaceride.com. August 8th.
• 4:16
  I'll be out there from probably the third.
• 4:19
  I'll be out in Sturgis for a week.
• 4:20
  Rusty, hell, he's going to be out there for a couple weeks,
• 4:23
  but I always love Sturgis, whether it's Sturgis, Spearfish
• 4:27
  Canyon, Full Throttle, you know, the Buffalo Chip, you name it.
• 4:34
  All that riding around there is just fantastic.
• 4:37
  So I'll be out there starting like August 2nd, August 3rd,
• 4:43
  something like that. I'll be out there for 4-5 days,
• 4:46
  so I got to get my bike out there.
• 4:48
  I like to ride my bike only. My bike is so awesome.
• 4:53
  It really is carbon fiber and it's light.
• 4:57
  OK, for the third subject of the day, we went to my eyes to the
• 5:02
  Rusty Wallace ride to yesterday. Something shocked me.
• 5:08
  I'm I'm down at detours eating lunch and my childhood friend
• 5:13
  Steve Mahoney, his wife Michelle and their daughter, grown up
• 5:18
  daughter, you know, in her 30s. And of course, I give Steve and
• 5:22
  Michelle a hug. And the daughter I know, I know
• 5:25
  of her, but she's kind of quiet. Out of nowhere, Steve says, oh,
• 5:30
  she loves Formula One. I'm like, what?
• 5:36
  Oh, she, she loves all sports. She loves Formula One.
• 5:40
  Got into this damn conversation. I'm like so strange around
• 5:45
  Arnold MO, Imperial MO. There's there's all these people
• 5:49
  that are huge race fans and fans of mine, but they don't say
• 5:52
  nothing. And I said, why do you like
• 5:55
  Formula One? Well, she said she started
• 5:59
  watching it a while back on when it was on ESPN, and I think it
• 6:06
  still is on ESPN. But the moral to the story is,
• 6:12
  is that this Formula One, they really have got into the psyche
• 6:16
  of these kids. The Netflix special, I know what
• 6:21
  started the conversation. They said we got back, they
• 6:24
  said, Kenny, we watched the Formula One movie with Brad
• 6:28
  Pitt. I said, boy, it's a good one,
• 6:30
  ain't it? They said, boy, it really is.
• 6:32
  I said, what's the reason that F1 movies doing so good is you
• 6:36
  don't have to be a racing fan. You don't have to be a racing
• 6:40
  fan. You know, the the storyline is,
• 6:44
  is the young kid is racing and he's struggling a little bit.
• 6:51
  He's going to be great. And, and the old bull comes in
• 6:56
  and kind of teaches and tutors the kid.
• 6:59
  And it, it, it's that timeline of when you're young,
• 7:03
  everybody's dumb. When you're young, everybody's
• 7:06
  dumb. And you go through all this
• 7:09
  trial and all this process. And then later on the kid
• 7:15
  realizes, oh damn, the old man does know what he's talking
• 7:19
  about. The old man really is good.
• 7:22
  And he figures out how to win and skin the cat differently,
• 7:27
  right? Yeah.
• 7:29
  I got some joke. OK, I'll clean this joke up.
• 7:35
  You know what the old bull said to the young bull?
• 7:37
  But the young bulls said, let's run down there.
• 7:39
  And all those bulls. The old bull says, no, let's
• 7:44
  walk down there. And all the bulls, the the young
• 7:49
  bull, he's in a hurry. Let's run down there.
• 7:52
  The old bulls like, no, let's walk down there.
• 7:54
  And we're going to do the same thing.
• 7:58
  You know that joke. All right, Everybody took me a
• 8:02
  while to get going this morning, but it's late 1030.
• 8:07
  I don't know if I'm going to Cedar Rapids Eye or not.
• 8:12
  They supposed to come. They supposed to come let me
• 8:15
  know here. Well, come, let me know.
• 8:16
  They're supposed to call me. Let me know I'm supposed to run
• 8:19
  Cedar Rapids Eye tonight for Landon Castle and his dad
• 8:23
  Rodger. They run Hawkeye down Speedway,
• 8:26
  but it shows rain coming in big time tonight.
• 8:28
  So up there in Cedar Rapids, we'll we'll know.
• 8:32
  I can actually see it see that up there that, that right there
• 8:40
  that that was going through that was going through Cedar Rapids
• 8:43
  this evening. So I, I don't know.
• 8:45
  They're going to let me know sometime soon.
• 8:48

• 8:53
  You got a metal in your eyes story.
