  Happy Thursday morning, everybody still down here and
• 0:05
  beautiful cobble wobble baby. There's Lisa, there's downtown.
• 0:17
  Yep. I said, what are you doing Lisa?
• 0:20
  She said, I'm getting our bowling team ready for when I
• 0:22
  get back home And I said, OK, so, uh, they also call this what
• 0:29
  Kabul Baja like when you look on the map.
• 0:33
  So that brings up a good point. Kabul Baja.
• 0:36
  Did you know the Baja 1000 are in these parts?
• 0:42
  So from California down here, that's where the Baja 1000 is.
• 0:47
  Do they do more racing? I don't know, but that's one of
• 0:51
  those. Did you know, get on your Google
• 0:54
  right now, Google Baja 1000. You'll see it's just right.
• 0:59
  It starts or ends and changes every year.
• 1:02
  Just above Cabo right here. OK, I talked to Ricky Stenhouse
• 1:11
  yesterday and it was a great talk.
• 1:14
  I said Ricky did. Did Carson Hosabar call you?
• 1:20
  And he said he sure did. I said, well, I'm going to do
• 1:23
  coffee with Kenny this tomorrow, which is now, and I want to
• 1:27
  debolst it all. He said, all right.
• 1:31
  I said, what did Carson say to you?
• 1:33
  He said Carson said he'd come down that back straight away and
• 1:38
  thought he could get underneath Ricky cleanly and misjudged and
• 1:44
  ran right into Ricky's Stenhouse.
• 1:50
  So that's what Ricky said now I didn't I didn't say, hey, Ricky,
• 1:55
  are you still going to wreck him?
• 1:58
  That's something we can all gamble on.
• 2:02
  I'm going to say he's not going to wreck him.
• 2:06
  And here's why. This is the did you know part.
• 2:10
  So you know, when you want to find things out in life,
• 2:15
  sometimes there's way more to the story than you think there
• 2:18
  is looking there. No, come on in.
• 2:21
  Coffee with Kenny this morning. Look at him.
• 2:26
  Anytime he's got that towel on, it means that he's been working
• 2:29
  out, stretching. OK, so you say to yourself, why
• 2:38
  is Ricky Stenhouse not going to wreck Carson?
• 2:42
  I'm thinking he's not going to. That's just my guess.
• 2:45
  He still could. But did you know the owner of
• 2:52
  this race team, the owner of Spire, Jeff Dickerson.
• 2:57
  Jeff Dickerson texted me last year about how much I love my
• 3:01
  dirt racing. Jeff Dickerson, who owns Spire
• 3:06
  Rand Rand Midgets, was a girl, was an open wheel racer.
• 3:09
  I don't know much about it, but Jeff is very nice to me.
• 3:13
  I found him very pleasant. He just started texting me and I
• 3:18
  did a nice little Kenny conversation or I did a coffee
• 3:23
  with Kenny and Jeff just said, hey man, it was really nice.
• 3:25
  You I just talked about how Spire years ago, well, three
• 3:30
  years ago when Spire was nothing or maybe two years ago, I said
• 3:32
  watch that team's going to be somebody and I was right here
• 3:36
  they are. So Jeff Dickerson runs Spire and
• 3:42
  he used to be a race car driver. Here's the part.
• 3:46
  Here's the Paul Harvey moment. Ricky Stenhouse would still be
• 3:53
  in Mississippi if it weren't for Jeff Dickerson.
• 3:58
  Basically, Jeff Dickerson went and got Ricky Stenhouse out of
• 4:03
  Mississippi and said come on and let's go NASCAR.
• 4:07
  Now, I'm sure there's more of the story than that, but that's
• 4:09
  just my version. When you listen to Jeff
• 4:12
  Dickerson on, you know, Dale Junior's show on Monday or
• 4:17
  Tuesday, they asked Jeff Dickerson, what did you think
• 4:22
  when Carson, your driver, ran in and wrecked Ricky Stenhouse?
• 4:27
  Jeff Dickerson said, why did you do that, Carson?
• 4:31
  You didn't have to do that. You did not have to do that.
• 4:36
  The tough part is you got the mob over here going.
• 4:41
  You don't need to apologize. You're to the new Dale Senior,
• 4:45
  Carson Osvar. You can be the new Dale Senior.
• 4:49
  You wreck everybody, make everybody afraid of you like
• 4:52
  Dale senior did some of you thinking that's like going hey,
• 4:58
  you can climb walls. You're the new spider man.
• 5:02
  You're spider man now. I appreciate my friend Dale
• 5:05
  Junior saying, hey, you know, dad got dad rough people up.
• 5:13
  Terry, She's a got a banana. That's a good bananas are good.
• 5:17
  So I appreciate y'all reminiscing and and thinking
• 5:21
  Carson can be Dale senior, but there's a little bit more of the
• 5:25
  psychology of that. Dale senior came in young and
• 5:30
  wrecked everybody up, pissed off everybody.
• 5:34
  But here's the problem. There was about four drivers
• 5:37
  back then. You had, you know, Richard Petty
• 5:42
  and Kale and Daryl and that was about it.
• 5:47
  Now I'm not going to say respond right here because I know what
• 5:50
  I'm talking about. When Dale Earnhardt senior
• 5:53
  started in NASCAR, there wasn't but about 3-4 drivers that can
• 5:57
  win on every week and the rest were were racing for a living.
• 6:03
  You know, Buddy Arrington Jimmy means these guys were racing
• 6:07
  NASCAR for a living. They didn't want no part of that
• 6:09
  running up front because that means that meant they had to run
• 6:12
  their motor 2R, that meant they had to put tires on.
• 6:15
  So back then when Dale Senior was roughing those guys up,
• 6:18
  there was three or four of them and that was it.
• 6:22
  Nowaday we got we got like 15 different winners.
• 6:28
  So they're going to come after you like a whole damn bunch of
• 6:32
  them. And you see it play out all the
• 6:34
  time. If you don't think one of these
• 6:36
  guys is wreck you, if you don't think one of these guys is going
• 6:40
  to come back and wreck you and they're going to get you, look
• 6:43
  no further than Matt Kenseth and Joey Logano.
• 6:48
  I mean, you see it play out all the time.
• 6:51
  It's eye for eye nowadays. There's no fucking around, you
• 6:55
  know, it's just now I don't think these guys nowadays, you
• 6:58
  know, I don't think you can emulate the old days.
• 7:02
  Earnhardt was a badass, no doubt had them gargoyle sunglasses on,
• 7:06
  had that mustache drop the rag. I mean, he was a character, He
• 7:10
  was a legend and you just there's never going to be
• 7:13
  another Dale senior. So let me get to the end here.
• 7:19
  The reason that I don't think Ricky Stenhouse is going to
• 7:25
  wreck Carson, he's because Jeff Dickerson the owner of Spire,
• 7:32
  most likely, most likely Jeff Dickerson the owner of Spire
• 7:38
  most likely called his driver and said listen I own these race
• 7:44
  cars and these son of a bitches are $500,000 each and right now
• 7:50
  Ricky's going to wreck your ass and you're going to be OK with
• 7:53
  it. But I'm not because I I'm going
• 7:55
  to have to fix it and fixing these cars is no joke now.
• 8:00
  So while you 2 create your pissing match, you're going to
• 8:04
  cost me $500,000 because you going to be cool.
• 8:08
  Oh look at me, I'm cool because I didn't apologize.
• 8:12
  I'm thinking Jeff Dirksen said get your ass on that phone and
• 8:15
  call Ricky put out this. Damn, you know, hey, it's good
• 8:20
  for all of us. Oh yeah, look at them wreck each
• 8:22
  other. Yeah, right there.
• 8:28
  Dumb as in the meanwhile, we like all the wrecking going on
• 8:33
  the car owners spending like hundred $200,000 when you wreck
• 8:38
  into the wall because it's a rear clip, it's a front clip.
• 8:40
  It's if it's a front clip, it's motor parts and it's a show.
• 8:48
  So that's in the end. That's why I think that's why I
• 8:50
  think Nate, now you do respond right here.
• 8:52
  Let's take a bet on it. Will Ricky Stenhouse, even
• 8:56
  though him and Jeff Dickerson are really good friends, will he
• 9:00
  wreck? Will Ricky wreck one of his best
• 9:02
  friend's cars? We'll see, won't we?
• 9:06
  I told you my take. Have a great day everybody.
