• 0:15
  while. All right, I am jacked up.

  Our youngest daughter, Brittany, she is at the hospital.
• 0:29
  She's pregnant right now and she is in labor.
• 0:32
  She's in labor getting ready to have a Lenny.
• 0:35
  It's going to be a girl. I said Lenny, how you spell
• 0:38
  that, Britt? She says, LENII said, did you
• 0:43
  name that baby after me? Because Lenny rhymes with Kenny.
• 0:51
  All right, So she went to the hospital, her and her husband
• 0:57
  Brody, they went there about 3:30 this morning.
• 1:00
  And so things are going good right now.
• 1:04
  I'm going to do Herman Schrader here in a little bit and then
• 1:08
  I'll be headed up to the hospital.
• 1:10
  So prayers above for our youngest daughter, our baby
• 1:14

• 1:19
  That will be 6 grandbabies for Kim and myself.
• 1:23
  So damn excited. All right, OK.
• 1:31
  That's the highway. That's literally the way that
• 1:36
  that's that's 40 and up to 61 all on the way to Quincy.
• 1:42
  They're literally showing the route that I ran Sunday
• 1:46
  yesterday. Head up to Quincy.
• 1:49
  Quincy, MO. Quincy, IL Brain fade on this
• 1:55
  early morning. Did you know that Quincy was
• 1:57
  right, right there were, you know, right there in Hannibal,
• 2:02
  MO, you know, with Mark Twain and that legendary book and
• 2:06
  that, that area right there, that's, that's a nice little
• 2:09
  vacation area along the Mississippi River, all the Mark
• 2:12
  Twain stuff. So every time I go to Quincy,
• 2:15
  I've only gone there about four times this year, but that whole
• 2:19
  area. Quincy, IL Hannibal.
• 2:23
  That's all right there on the Mississippi Nets.
• 2:25
  That's the Mark Twain, you know, was a Huckleberry fan stuff, all
• 2:30
  that. I don't know.
• 2:31
  Respond right here. But I know it's a hell of a
• 2:33
  story. Did I tell you we won last
• 2:38
  night? Yes.
• 2:39
  I'm very excited about that. We've had a great year.
• 2:42
  Yeah, we've had a great year. And I'm.
• 2:44
  And I'm very thankful. I could say more, but I don't
• 2:47
  want to brag on myself. OK, Today is about Brad
• 2:56
  Keselowski. You know, Jeff Burton was the
• 3:02
  mayor in my day. And nowadays Brad Keselowski is
• 3:08
  the mayor of NASCAR, Great race car driver, very analytical.
• 3:14
  And did you know that he he owns a company that produces parts,
• 3:19
  makes parts, very innovative company.
• 3:22
  So there's a lot more to Brad Kozlowski than just race car
• 3:27
  driver. Great man husband.
• 3:32
  I get this is is Brad Kozlowski's wife named Paige?
• 3:36
  I think so got all those beautiful blonde haired baby
• 3:39
  girls. But there's a lot to Brad
• 3:42
  Keslowski. I like it.
• 3:46
  I like Brad. Very, very innovative, very
• 3:49
  analytical. So Brad Kozlowski's taking over
• 3:53
  the mayor role from Jeff Burton. So, you know, Kozlowski tries to
• 4:01
  win that race last night and coming to the checkered flag.
• 4:07
  Oh, sorry. Yeah.
• 4:09
  Saturday night, two nights ago, Kozlowski gets to the bumper of
• 4:15
  Christopher Bell and hits him hard going into three and
• 4:18
  doesn't move him enough and goes ahead and runs second.
• 4:22
  He really wants to win right now.
• 4:24
  But they started having fun interviewing him because
• 4:27
  Keselowski's the new quote. In other words, you're going to
• 4:31
  get good quotes. And what drew my to it was he
• 4:36
  gave a good interview and Mark Martin said brilliant interview.
• 4:40
  You have to listen to the whole thing.
• 4:43
  The reason Mark likes it is because during the interview
• 4:49
  they asked Brad about the championship and he said, Oh
• 4:52
  yeah, it's the championship is definitely not fair.
• 4:58
  It's meant for entertainment. So that's the conversation at
• 5:02
  hand Today. Got got the drag races coming to
• 5:15
  Saint Louis. That that race track in Saint
• 5:20
  Louis, it got it going on. Got it going on in Saint Louis.
• 5:23
  I mean, NASCAR race, IndyCar race, NHRA race.
• 5:28
  Sorry about that. When I have the TV on, I see
• 5:32
  what's up. OK, so getting back to to Brad,
• 5:35
  he says the championship chase is meant for entertainment.
• 5:39
  It's not fair. Mark Martin likes that.
• 5:47
  Mark Martin, my dear friend, is the gift that just keeps giving,
• 5:51
  gives me so many talking points. So respond right here.
• 5:55
  Is the championship fair or not? But is it good for
• 6:02
  entertainment? Because I know a lot of people
• 6:05
  that go, Oh my God, this is the week that they'll be kicking out
• 6:09
  four drivers because they're last.
• 6:13
  So when you have the championship play offs, play
• 6:16
  offs, it's a catchy name and everything, but we ain't
• 6:19
  playing. I'll never.
• 6:22
  Hey, the quote heard around the world, Mark Martin on Kenny
• 6:27
  conversation. It's a catchy name, play offs,
• 6:30
  but we ain't playing. Never forget it.
• 6:34
  So is the play offs. Is it fair?
• 6:40
  You start with 16 drivers, they make it.
• 6:43
  You run three races and in three races, if you're at the bottom
• 6:49
  of the barrel, if you're those last four, you're kicked out
• 6:52
  now. Seems OK to me, right?
• 6:58
  I mean, I guess you could go through and go, well, this ain't
• 7:00
  fair, That ain't fair. But I think everybody still
• 7:05
  worked up about Joey Logano, you know, getting in the playoffs
• 7:11
  when Bowman was kicked out last year for being too light at the
• 7:16
  Rowville. And technically Logano is out,
• 7:23
  but he gets in because Bowman was light and then he goes on a
• 7:29
  heater and he wins, wins everything.
• 7:33
  He won like 2-3 races in the playoffs.
• 7:36
  So I mean, I mean, what were they going to do with Bowman?
• 7:40
  What we're going to do act like he wasn't like, I mean, so you
• 7:44
  just do the next best thing. Joey the Gondols in.
• 7:47
  I mean, that's if you if if you win a race and you're found like
• 7:50
  the guy that runs second is the winner.
• 7:53
  It's the way it is. So is Brad Keselowski right?
• 8:01
  Is it not fair? Is it not fair?
• 8:04
  Because now here we are. Let me see now 7 races to go and
• 8:11
  if you're at the bottom of barrel again and and you ain't
• 8:14
  good enough to be up there, that means you get kicked out.
• 8:17
  So I I'm a little confused with what Brad said.
• 8:21
  It's not fair. Are the play offs fair?
• 8:28
  I think they're fair. I'm going to leave you with
• 8:30
  this. Ross Chastain on Trackside Live
• 8:33
  says, look, NASCAR gives us the rules.
• 8:36
  What are the rules? And we go race.
• 8:40
  All right, everybody getting ready to do Herman Schrader.
• 8:43
  I'll be headed up to the hospital.
• 8:45
  Lenny, our latest grandbaby is on the way.
• 8:50
  Pray for Brittany. Dear Lord, please keep Brittany
• 8:53
  safe. Amen.
• 8:55
  Have a great Monday, everybody.
