  Happy Monday morning everybody. As Herman Munster would say,
• 0:10
  it's a beautiful day out. Little, little cloudy and the
• 0:17
  cold weather moved in and boy, we got lucky.
• 0:20
  Those storms split us. We didn't, we didn't get
• 0:24
  anything so we good to go here. Umm, let me see.
• 0:30
  Got a little song on my mind today.
• 0:33
  Rambling man 'cause I'm a rambling man.
• 0:38
  Don't mess around with a good old rambling man.
• 0:42
  Left a girl in West Virginia down where the green grass
• 0:48
  grows. Sometimes I just, sometimes I
• 0:51
  just make up the words, 'cause I'm not going to let the words
• 0:54
  stop me from singing a song and feeling good.
• 1:00
  How about you? Is it important?
• 1:01
  I mean, it is fun to know all the words to a song, but it's
• 1:05
  not necessary. You can insert your own words
• 1:07
  and still have a good time. All right.
• 1:13
  Thought I'd come in the back of the house today.
• 1:16
  He's in the front yesterday. But look at that grass, would
• 1:20
  you? Damn.
• 1:21
  Looks good. Louis.
• 1:22
  The legend in the house. What you doing, Louis?
• 1:26
  He was sitting in there in the living room with me and I came
• 1:29
  out back and boom, here he comes.
• 1:32
  Where you going, homeboy? Look at him.
• 1:34
  He's a race car driver. All right, we going to talk
• 1:39
  about Denny Hamlin today. I didn't know what it was one of
• 1:44
  those deals where I woke up and didn't know what I was going to
• 1:46
  talk about. Getting ready to do Herman
• 1:48
  Schrader this morning and lot to say about Herman Schrader.
• 1:54
  You know, we taped that show on Mondays and then they aired on
• 1:58
  Wednesdays. So by the by the time Herman
• 2:02
  Schrader rolls around on Wednesday, they've already beat,
• 2:06
  beat the results and beat, beat down everything about the race.
• 2:10
  So I'm thinking about changing Herman Schrader up a little bit.
• 2:14
  I think we can just talk about everything and talk a little bit
• 2:17
  about the race. But all right.
• 2:20
  Denny Hamlin. Denny Hamlin wins his sixth race
• 2:27
  at Martinsville, but it's been 10 years since he won his last
• 2:33
  Cup race at Martinsville. Kind of shocked me because, you
• 2:37
  know, it's hard to win any Cup race.
• 2:39
  But that's his sixth win at Martinsville.
• 2:42
  And Denny tied my big, my Big Brother, the great man.
• 2:48
  When I say great, sometimes I think it takes us to get a
• 2:52
  little older to realize how good brother Rusty is.
• 2:56
  Man, I'll tell you what, my brother Rusty is a badass and
• 2:58
  I'm very proud of him. And, you know, my whole life
• 3:01
  people have tried to tease me that, oh, you're brother Rusty.
• 3:05
  And I'm like, yeah, my brother Rusty.
• 3:07
  I love him. That son of a bitch is good.
• 3:10
  And it's like the Don Don the snake Pernon, the great drag
• 3:14
  racer. He said, Herman, your brother
• 3:17
  Rusty's just damn good. And, you know, he really is.
• 3:21
  And I'm proud of Rusty. So Denny Hamlin tied the great
• 3:28
  Rusty Wallace with 55 Cup wins. Just count to 55.
• 3:36
  That tells you how good Jimmie Johnson and Jeff Gordon and the
• 3:40
  King Richard Petty. You know how how good those guys
• 3:45
  are. I mean, 55 Cup wins, Denny
• 3:48
  Hamlin, you are officially a bad ass.
• 3:51
  No matter, no matter how much you antagonize the fans, when
• 3:56
  you do quit racing, my friend, they're going to love you even
• 3:59
  more. So this morning, I just want to
• 4:02
  give a shout out to Denny Hamlin and talk a little bit about his
• 4:07
  sign. When Denny Hamlin won
• 4:10
  Martinsville, he brings this sign out and it says 11 #11
• 4:16
  against the world. See, I thought it was
• 4:20
  appropriate and I thought he was just having fun because, you
• 4:24
  know, the fans don't like Denny. Because Denny Hamlin has
• 4:27
  something that you want. Yes, I'm going to repeat that.
• 4:32
  And I'm aware that I repeat myself.
• 4:34
  And I know I'm famous for repeating myself, Herman
• 4:37
  repeating himself. Denny Hamlin gets under your
• 4:42
  skin and I know that and you know that and he talks a lot and
• 4:50
  did you know that the the sign that said 11 against the world,
• 4:55
  did you know that we all thought, oh, he's trying to get
• 4:57
  us, he's trying to get us, he's trying to make us mad at him
• 5:01
  'cause he loves it so. Reported by Bob Pacrass and of
• 5:06
  course, Jamie Little on the live interview.
• 5:09
  Jamie Little, man, she's a bad ass.
• 5:11
  I sure do like Jamie. She just, she's a, she's a lady,
• 5:17
  but got those tomboy qualities and man, she just kicks ass and
• 5:22
  everything she does. But after the race, Jamie Little
• 5:25
  says, you know, she's kind of digging for us fans, kind of
• 5:31
  like, what's, what's the flag mean, Danny?
• 5:33
  Are you trying to get us? Are you trying to make us mad
• 5:36
  'cause you know, a lot of us don't like you, Danny.
• 5:40
  So he answers it. But now I want to give a shout
• 5:43
  out to Bob Pockrass in a very calm environment after the race
• 5:47
  in the Media Center. Then he's like, I love talking.
• 5:53
  He says, you ask all my friends if I play basketball or he says
• 5:58
  if I play, you know, golf, He says, they know I'm going to
• 6:03
  talk. And he says maybe they don't
• 6:06
  like it. He says, but that's what fuels
• 6:09
  me now with, with, with, with Jamie right after the race.
• 6:17
  Then he gives a little bit different interview and he goes,
• 6:19
  well, you know, he says, I went to an Ohio State football game
• 6:23
  and with some of my friends and he says I've never been to a
• 6:26
  Ohio State football game. And Danny liked it.
• 6:30
  And if you noticed on social media during the winter, kind of
• 6:34
  he, he, he was very open minded and he said, OK, I'll go to this
• 6:38
  strange game with you. I, I'm not an Ohio fan, but I'll
• 6:41
  go with my Ohio friends. And he said he had a really good
• 6:46
  time. And that is, that is Ohio
• 6:49
  State's motto is Ohio State against the world.
• 6:56
  I think Danny liked that, obviously.
• 6:59
  So somebody had the the sign. He's like, hey, give me that
• 7:02
  sign, give me that sign. So he uses it for Victor Lane.
• 7:07
  So I'm gonna end like this, everybody.
• 7:11
  You might think you're getting under Denny Hamlin's skin.
• 7:15
  You might think that, and it might make you feel good that
• 7:19
  you think you're talking. You going to get Denny Hamlin?
• 7:24
  Little did you know, he loves it so.
• 7:30
  So nowadays, if you think you're going to get Denny Hamlin, maybe
• 7:35
  silence is your best method. Because Denny loves, loves talk.
• 7:42
  He loves it. He eats it up.
• 7:43
  And the more you Boo him, and I know I gotta tell you something.
• 7:47
  I noticed yesterday there wasn't very many, very many boos.
• 7:52
  I think, I think Denny has turned the corner.
• 7:56
  I think you fans are starting to like him.
• 7:59
  Why is that? Respond right here.
• 8:02
  Now, I know a lot of you are gonna go.
• 8:03
  I don't like Benny Hamlin. The point is, is you're not
• 8:07
  getting underneath his skin. He loves it.
• 8:11
  So how do you get somebody that likes doing what you like doing,
• 8:17
  talking? I think Denny is the king
• 8:20
  Stalker. You better up your game.
• 8:24
  Everybody. All right, Listen, have a great,
• 8:29
  great Monday.
