• 0:00
  Happy Tuesday morning, everybody.
• 0:04
  From a very, very peaceful Caribbean, whatever you want to
• 0:10
  call this ocean. The hell?
• 0:11
  I don't even know where we're at.
• 0:13
  That's the beauty of it. Sometimes you get too much
• 0:16
  information and it's too much. Look at that, huh?
• 0:24
  Just beautiful. Wow, Just beautiful.
• 0:31
  We're headed to Grand Cayman. Let's take a look at the big
• 0:36
  boat here. Look at that.
• 0:40
  We don't want to drop the phone. We don't want to drop the phone
• 0:43
  because if we dropped it, the phone would be gone and you
• 0:46
  wouldn't know it because I wouldn't be able to get the
• 0:48
  phone. All right, we're going to step
• 0:52
  inside the room today. Kim's covering up.
• 0:56
  You will not show me. Let's shut the door.
• 1:01
  We got a good coffee with Kenny on tap.
• 1:05
  You got to. You got to shut the door.
• 1:07
  Here. They make you see here.
• 1:09
  Always, always make sure the doors shut.
• 1:16
  All right, I got my notes. I got my notes.
• 1:23
  I'm like Larry Macarena. I got my notes.
• 1:26
  What are you doing, Queen? Look at her.
• 1:34
  She don't want you to see her. OK, let's let's talk about
• 1:40
  today. So it's all about the NASCAR
• 1:44
  trial. I've been following it closely.
• 1:47
  We are on the second week of this trial.
• 1:52
  It is a long 1. Judge Bell has reprimanded
• 1:56
  everybody and they've added one hour.
• 2:00
  They've added one hour onto these court proceedings because
• 2:03
  they just can't get stuff done. So instead of starting at like 9
• 2:08
  to 5, they're going to go 8:30 to 5:30.
• 2:12
  That's one hour. So they're going to add 1 hour
• 2:15
  on because they're all taking too long.
• 2:18
  There's a lot on the line. There's a lot on the line.
• 2:23
  Let me see. It says there's $365 million on
• 2:28
  the line, $365,000,000. So two teams said that, hey, if
• 2:43
  NASCAR goes bad, we'll buy it. What?
• 2:49
  So reported by Adam Stern. Adam Stern says there are two
• 2:55
  teams that would be interested in purchasing NASCAR if things
• 3:01
  went bad. And now what does that mean?
• 3:05
  Just respond right here. And it's like, where'd you get
• 3:08
  the $5 billion from? Now, later in the day, Adam
• 3:13
  Stern said, you know, you, you can tell when Adam Stern touches
• 3:19
  a nerve with his reporting, 'cause he'll he said early in
• 3:22
  the day, two teams want to buy NASCAR If NASCAR goes bad, Well,
• 3:27
  then later in the day, you know, I mean, it could have been 9:00
• 3:30
  at night. Adam Stern reports NASCAR in the
• 3:35
  last two months has not want to sold, sell.
• 3:38
  So it's like everybody knows what's going on in the media.
• 3:42
  And it's like, hey, man, we don't want anybody to know we've
• 3:45
  ever thought about selling. But NASCAR in the past, around
• 3:47
  year 2018, they think, I think they went to Goldman Sachs and
• 3:52
  just said, hey, if we wanted to sell, what would be what would
• 3:57
  we be worth? Well, anyway, some economists
• 4:01
  come up with $5 billion. So what team would want to
• 4:08
  sponsor or buy NASCAR? I'm thinking it'd be have to be
• 4:14
  Rodger, Penske, Rodgers, the most wealthiest one or a or a
• 4:19
  team that has some funding behind them.
• 4:22
  They had switching gears now they had an economist specialist
• 4:27
  come in on behalf of the teams broke it down with all this math
• 4:33
  that none of us can pretend to understand.
• 4:38
  You got to go through all these charts with the bottom line is,
• 4:42
  is Michael Jordan and 2311, if they win the suit, if they win
• 4:47
  this, they want $365 million. Can you imagine that?
• 4:54
  This is why NASCAR's fighting for their life.
• 4:57
  And I can tell you I've been told NASCAR is not having fun.
• 5:03
  This, they are not cocky and this is serious stuff.
• 5:06
  And another thing I learned, NASCAR's Jim France who owns
• 5:13
  NASCAR, he is not happy that this stuff came out in e-mail
• 5:18
  form. He is not happy with what
• 5:21
  anything was said. So the survival of NASCAR's on
• 5:28
  the line is the way they look at it.
• 5:32
  So yeah, OK, I remember 3 weeks ago I said are we going to
• 5:35
  Daytona? Well, you know, depends.
• 5:38
  I, I think everything will be for sure appealed.
• 5:42
  You know, whoever wins or loses, they're going to appeal.
• 5:45
  It's going to go to this court and then it'll go to the Supreme
• 5:47
  Court. It's going to go on for a long
• 5:49
  time. I can't imagine that there being
• 5:53
  a settlement anytime in the future.
• 5:55
  But regardless, the judge is going to rule what he's judging.
• 5:59
  And I feel like the judge is prepared, like he he already
• 6:02
  knows if NASCAR were to lose, he's got to already know what
• 6:05
  he's going to say to NASCAR. I don't think it's a deal where
• 6:08
  if NASCAR loses, the judge is going to have he's going to need
• 6:11
  time to think about it. I think the judge has had 9-10
• 6:15
  months to think about it. Let's see what else we got here.
• 6:20
  I think that's it. Those are my highlights.
• 6:22
  OK, switching gears, this one here is crazy.
• 6:28
  As reported by Adam Stern, this, this AI, as you can see,
• 6:35
  everybody's getting frustrated on social media 'cause you know,
• 6:38
  everybody is now going, is this real?
• 6:41
  Is this fake? Now, Now you know what AI is.
• 6:44
  Respond right here. How many times have have you got
• 6:49
  hoaxed and thought something was real and it's not?
• 6:51
  So this artificial intelligence is crazy.
• 6:55
  Well, as reported by Adam Stern, guess what's next?
• 6:58
  They might want to take these Formula One cars and another
• 7:01
  division and do an, what they call it autonomous.
• 7:04
  Anonymous where there's no drivers.
• 7:08
  What, what the That don't even make sense.
• 7:11
  You would have engineers and they would control 6 cars with
• 7:16
  six engineers and there'd be no drivers in them and they would
• 7:19
  race each other with no drivers, just autonomous, whatever.
• 7:24
  Anonymous. Anonymous means you don't you
• 7:28
  don't know and not anonymous means I don't know.
• 7:31
  So there'd be no drivers. They'd have to create fans too,
• 7:35
  because there'd be no fans. That's my that's my best line on
• 7:39
  that one. OK, The Dome, downtown Saint
• 7:48
  Louis, that dirt race, highest ratings in Flow history.
• 7:54
  So there it is, everybody. The Dome, the date is perfect.
• 8:00
  It's in the middle of December. Nobody's doing nothing.
• 8:03
  They're watching the Dome. And just for that, you know,
• 8:06
  everybody's going to want to be advertising.
• 8:08
  And the snowball Derby was rained out.
• 8:11
  All right, switching gears, Snowball Derby controversy time.
• 8:18
  Majeski should have won this race.
• 8:23
  They ruled that he jumped the start and that gave Steven Nasi
• 8:28
  the win. Now here's the here's the
• 8:30
  kicker. So many years ago, within the
• 8:33
  last five years, Nasi won this race and in tech they said he
• 8:39
  was illegal case. He had a little bit of, oh, I
• 8:42
  don't know, something his bait, his brakes had up.
• 8:45
  What do they call that gold stuff had a different material
• 8:49
  that maybe they shouldn't had in one little part of the brake.
• 8:52
  So while Steven Nasi straight up won the Snowball Derby so many
• 8:56
  years ago, he got DQ D and guess who they gave the race to?
• 9:01
  That's right, time Majeski. So this year time Majeski wins
• 9:06
  the race and they deemed that time Majeski had an illegal
• 9:11
  restart. And guess who they gave the
• 9:13
  race? They gave it to Steven Nasi.
• 9:17
  So these two, they they can't win it.
• 9:21
  It's a it's crazy that snowball Derby.
• 9:25
  And let me tell you, I'm going to give you my opinion on the
• 9:27
  snowball Derby. To me, it's neither here or
• 9:30
  there this or that. They were playing games.
• 9:34
  You know, Steven Ashley's the best at the business on, you
• 9:37
  know, holding back on the restarts.
• 9:38
  And we all know that, Ty, we all know how Ty Majeski is on the
• 9:43
  starts. Forget all that.
• 9:45
  Forget all that. This this snowball Derby is
• 9:49
  marred in controversy. Chase Elliott one at one year,
• 9:53
  but he was dequeued because he had tungsten.
• 9:56
  Let me see I have other ones it it is just always drama and if
• 10:01
  nasty with his is is magnesium. That's the word I'm looking for
• 10:06
  magnesium little piece apart in the break there.
• 10:10
  The snowball Derby has a problem just ending with the real
• 10:13
  winner. Always some little bulls that
• 10:16
  really don't matter. You're not supposed to have
• 10:19
  tungsten, but Chase Ellie had a piece of tung, tungsten and
• 10:23
  let's whatever, you know, come on, I know whatever, but it's
• 10:27
  just always some bullshit deal. Snowball Derby has got to get a
• 10:31
  run going in the future, just with a winner.
• 10:36
  All right, everybody, there's a lot of news right there.
• 10:41
  Another, oh, another 11 minute or yesterday it was 12 so I'm
• 10:45
  faster. Have a beautiful Tuesday.
