  Happy Thursday morning everybody, it's another
• 0:07
  beautiful day. Gonna be around 9697° again.
• 0:13
  Same temperature all week long but they're saying tomorrow,
• 0:17
  tomorrow's the big day. Friday high in like 81 with a
• 0:22
  little rain moving in. You ever notice when people get
• 0:26
  old, they get bored and all they do is talk about the weather?
• 0:32
  Hey, I can tell you this. When brother Rusty became a
• 0:36
  pilot, you know, Rusty had a jet.
• 0:40
  He had a airplane, you know. Well, hold on, let me explain
• 0:43
  it. That's a funny story right there
• 0:46
  too. Rusty had a prop plane one time
• 0:50
  and somebody, it was wealthy, said damn Wallace, why don't you
• 0:53
  have a jet? Why you got these props for?
• 0:57
  But anyway, Rusty used to have prop airplanes.
• 1:00
  Then he went to a Lear 31-A and a helicopter.
• 1:04
  So Rusty was a great pilot and a man.
• 1:08
  I sure was spoiled in the my NASCAR days 'cause I could fly
• 1:13
  with Rusty. We'd always be in his Bell
• 1:15
  helicopter going back and forth to Martinsville.
• 1:19
  Yeah, So Rusty would always watch the weather.
• 1:22
  I mean, you, you would come in his living room, he'd just be
• 1:25
  there all day watching The Weather Channel.
• 1:28
  I thought, how the hell can anybody watch The Weather
• 1:31
  Channel? Now?
• 1:33
  Here I am watching The Weather Channel because I race dirt cars
• 1:39
  so much. And you're, you're dealing with
• 1:41
  raw dirt, dirt racing and you know, you're trying to get
• 1:44
  ready, you know, can I, can I run Granite Friday?
• 1:47
  What gear am I going to put in? Do I put in my 588 or do I put
• 1:52
  in my 614, you know, for, for Pevely or, or do I go a 621, you
• 1:58
  know, for Quincy or, you know, do I do a 668 for Highland?
• 2:04
  See what I mean? So it's very important to know
• 2:07
  where we're going to race because, you know, I got
• 2:09
  different gears and different chassis setups for different
• 2:13
  tracks. So now I know why Rusty always
• 2:16
  watched The Weather Channel 'cause he was trying to be ready
• 2:20
  for his flight plan. Hey, we're going to New
• 2:22
  Hampshire. What's the weather look like on
• 2:24
  the way to New Hampshire? Hell, I didn't think I'd go this
• 2:27
  long on weather either. This, this went further than I
• 2:30
  thought it would. But yeah, that's why weather is
• 2:33
  important and that's why people watch The Weather Channel.
• 2:36
  They got to know what's up 'cause they're getting ready to
• 2:38
  travel. Did I just see Louis?
• 2:40
  There he is. There's the legend.
• 2:43
  Look at him. He's going there looking for his
• 2:45
  dear friends again, deer hunting season coming up.
• 2:48
  By the way, my wife, the deer are my wife's pets.
• 2:54
  You don't, you don't shoot her deer.
• 2:57
  She'd be highly upset. But I understand deer hunting
• 3:03
  and yes, unfortunately, man, if you didn't have deer hunting
• 3:08
  season, they'd be, they'd be everywhere.
• 3:11
  They are actually. I ran in a deer.
• 3:13
  I ran through a deer two years ago coming back from Quincy,
• 3:18
  wiped my, I had a Ford F453 deer coming at me and I'm, I'm off
• 3:23
  the road, you know, and man, they hit the side of my Ford
• 3:27
  F-450 at that time and destroyed the door and the bumper.
• 3:32
  But why do deer come at cars? It's like you got your lights on
• 3:36
  and they they run at your car. It's like, get away.
• 3:41
  They destroy the damn vehicle. OK, sip of coffee.
• 3:45
  Conversation at hand. Kyle Hammer, a friend of mine, a
• 3:55
  dirt racer, he texts me the other day.
• 3:59
  No, he called me. Kyle Hammer called me Kyle.
• 4:02
  Thank you. Sorry that you're part of coffee
• 4:04
  with Kenny. But the Herm Raider always tells
• 4:07
  the truth. You know, sometimes people call
• 4:10
  bullshit on me, but it's always the truth.
• 4:13
  So Kyle Hammer calls me and he says, Herman, how do you put up
• 4:19
  with all that? I'm like, what are you talking
• 4:21
  about? He goes, Oh my God, your comment
• 4:23
  section. I said, Kyle, it's like that
• 4:27
  every day of my life. He goes, I don't know how you do
• 4:31
  it. So I made a comment about
• 4:34
  something very simple, wasn't even controversial.
• 4:39
  But how do I say it? There are people out there that
• 4:47
  I don't know what happened to them when they were born, but
• 4:50
  man, they are mean. Son of a bitches.
• 4:54
  So Kyle Hammer said I don't know how you do it.
• 4:57
  I've had hundreds and hundreds of people.
• 5:01
  I was on the Kyle Petty charity ride and somebody said so and
• 5:06
  so, very, very famous person and they put their head down.
• 5:11
  They said so and so doesn't like to be on social media.
• 5:14
  They said it's so toxic that people are so mean.
• 5:18
  I said, you know what, people are extremely mean, extremely
• 5:24
  aggressive and for the most part cold hearted like no heart.
• 5:31
  There is something going on in social media that I've learned
• 5:34
  now. People say social media is not
• 5:36
  real and, and they're right or they can get thinking a
• 5:41
  different way. They they forget that these are
• 5:44
  actually people. You know, people jumped on that
• 5:47
  word bot really big other the the the bots are running this.
• 5:52
  I'm like, no, that's not bots. That's actually people.
• 5:56
  That tells you how mean people are, how bad they are.
• 6:03
  So I want to answer Kyle Hammer. Kyle, you said how do you do it,
• 6:07
  Herman? Well, years ago, Tony Stewart
• 6:13
  said something to me. I'll never forget.
• 6:15
  He gave me a great compliment. He says, I don't know how you do
• 6:19
  it, Herman. Tony Stewart said it to me.
• 6:23
  I said, man, these people, they just need love.
• 6:25
  They need affection, Tony. And you know, the, the fans are
• 6:29
  super aggressive with Tony. Yeah, not now, but years ago.
• 6:35
  Tony now is married with a child.
• 6:38
  They've eased up on him, but with me and, and listen, they've
• 6:42
  got a lot better. And we've talked about this
• 6:44
  before, but I used to go to the dirt track and you would see
• 6:47
  them. I, I, I'd look, I'd be standing
• 6:50
  in my trailer and they would start picking up speed.
• 6:53
  The fans are almost start running and I could tell this
• 6:56
  one's going to be a Dick. They're very aggressive.
• 6:59
  They would come to the racetrack to tell me what they thought by
• 7:03
  God. And, and it seems like it's all
• 7:06
  calmed down now. For the most part, most people
• 7:11
  are good to me. However, I always say this and
• 7:14
  it's, it's a joke, but it's true.
• 7:17
  The drivers at the racetrack, they don't like me because they
• 7:20
  got to race me. And now the fans do like me.
• 7:24
  But let me tell you why things got going better for me.
• 7:26
  These are my rules for social media.
• 7:29
  You with me more than once. I don't have time for you and I
• 7:33
  don't care about that little thing going on out there.
• 7:36
  Oh real man, Don't block people. I block people.
• 7:39
  Like popcorn popping, you know, you look at a popcorn pop and
• 7:43
  pop, pop, pop. No, I block your ass now.
• 7:46
  I use mute right now. I mute people because I want
• 7:51
  social media to be a pleasure for me.
• 7:54
  I want to enjoy it. I want to debate with you
• 7:57
  people. I don't want people coming on
• 8:00
  here talking badge and you and you say what is badge?
• 8:05
  Well, not not debating with me, not talking with me just
• 8:09
  immediately, you know, talking badge.
• 8:12
  I mean, people talk badge to me. You guys don't see it a lot of
• 8:16
  times because I'll mute them or I'll block them.
• 8:20
  So that's my key. That's all there is to it.
• 8:22
  Everybody when Kyle Hammer said I don't know how you do it, I'm
• 8:26
  like, I knew what he meant. But see, I don't see these
• 8:29
  people. I think that I've blocked over
• 8:33
  600 people on X and I'm having the time of my life 'cause they
• 8:40
  run their mouth and I don't see them.
• 8:42
  And I and like, I'll look in the comments section and I'll see
• 8:45
  mute, mute, mute. Those are the, those are the
• 8:49
  Dick heads. Those are the ones they think I
• 8:52
  can see them. And now they've eased up.
• 8:54
  I don't see that many mutes anymore.
• 8:55
  They figured it out. I don't get on social media to
• 8:59
  be abused. I get on social media to have
• 9:02
  fun. So I'm a man baby and I'll block
• 9:09
  the out of you and I'll mute the out of you.
• 9:12
  Either you have fun and you love life or I don't have any time
• 9:15
  for you. So that's why I'm so happy
• 9:18
  because I don't see these mean people anymore.
• 9:21
  Some people are begging for me to unblock them.
• 9:25
  Charlie Marlow said. Herman, this man's been
• 9:27
  messaging me. Will you please unblock him?
• 9:29
  Give him a second chance. I went to his name.
• 9:32
  I said, oh, I recognize this dickhead old school Bill or
• 9:35
  whatever the hell his name was. I give you another chance,
• 9:38
  buddy. I give you another chance.
• 9:41
  Have a great, have a great Thursday, everybody.
• 9:45
  And I love you.
