  Happy Friday morning to everybody.
• 0:03
  It's a beautiful day right here in Arnold, MO.
• 0:08
  It's a big day, not just because it's Halloween.
• 0:13
  Hey, by the way, you want to hear a joke?
• 0:16
  You're going to hear it whether you want to or not.
• 0:19
  How come the witch could not get pregnant?
• 0:26
  How come the witch could not get pregnant because her husband had
• 0:34
  a Halloweenie? Because her husband had a
• 0:41
  Holloweenie. Now you will not believe who
• 0:45
  told me that? My Grandma Marie.
• 0:51
  We called her Mama Marie told me that Mama.
• 0:55
  Wow. All right, everybody.
• 0:58
  Well, it's Halloween, but it is the very first.
• 1:02
  Here's mine. Come around here.
• 1:04
  Show everybody. Kim's headed to the casino just
• 1:08
  for a few hours. I can't bring it down here, so
• 1:10
  let's get. OK.
• 1:10
  Let me see. OK, show it to me.
• 1:13
  Here's the other joke. What happens when you tell an
• 1:17
  egg a joke? What happens when you tell an
• 1:21
  egg a joke? It cracks up.
• 1:27
  Make money, make money. I love you.
• 1:33
  Eight 8:34 AM and her and her sister Kelly headed down to
• 1:38
  River City. They love that gambling.
• 1:42
  It's it's kind of like an old lady, you know, on Wednesday,
• 1:45
  you know, they they have their hair day or, or they have they
• 1:48
  play cards or Friday mornings. Kim heads to the casino with her
• 1:54
  sister because at 3:00, we got to be at our two grandbabies as
• 2:02
  they get off the bus to give them their Halloween bag of
• 2:05
  candy. Then we leave there.
• 2:09
  Then we go down to the other grandbabies because, you know,
• 2:12
  I'm Poppy, she's Grammy, and we make sure everybody is loved
• 2:17
  exactly the same. All right, Wow, what a start
• 2:21
  this morning. All right, let's get the NASCAR.
• 2:24
  OK, But it's Friday and here we go again.
• 2:29
  It's Friday, and tonight is the very first championship race of
• 2:34
  the weekend. So Friday night, tonight is the
• 2:37
  NASCAR Trucks, and then Saturday is the Xfinity Series.
• 2:41
  And by the way, this is the very last race that it will be called
• 2:46
  Xfinity. And by the way, I think they're
• 2:49
  going to run it with no commercials, something like
• 2:52
  that. Xfinity is doing something.
• 2:54
  I think it's going to be no commercials maybe, or side by
• 2:57
  side. And then of course, the new
• 3:02
  sponsorship is going to be OO O'Reilly Auto parts next year.
• 3:12
  And then Sunday is going to be the Cup championship.
• 3:16
  And boy, do I have a lot to say about everything.
• 3:22
  OK, Can you believe? And that's what this is going to
• 3:27
  be titled Can you believe A poll has come out.
• 3:32
  All of you, all of you have fell in love with Denny Hamlin all
• 3:38
  over again. So for the first time in Denny
• 3:45
  Hamlin's NASCAR history, he is in the top five for most popular
• 3:54
  driver voting. He can't believe it.
• 3:58
  And he's thinking, well, maybe it's all these reasons.
• 4:01
  Maybe it's because those sound bites.
• 4:04
  Denny Hamlin says. Maybe it was the sound bite in
• 4:07
  2017 at Martinsville. You know, the sound bite about
• 4:13
  Joe Olegano that's just racing. Or when he I guess he
• 4:18
  accidentally accidentally got in and spun Chase Elliott out.
• 4:23
  So Danny Hamlin says maybe you all started hating him for
• 4:26
  these. You know, I Joey, the guy said
• 4:29
  that's just real short track racing.
• 4:32
  Did that piss you off? Or when he spun out the most
• 4:37
  popular driver, Chase Elliott. But then he said, maybe what's
• 4:43
  turn the corner here is he said, was it Vegas that made you all
• 4:48
  start liking him? And Denny Hamlin also said
• 4:52
  there's no doubt in his mind this is Denny Hamlin's dad's
• 4:56
  last chance to see him win a championship.
• 5:00
  Denny Hamlin's dad, sadly, is getting ready to to die, getting
• 5:05
  ready to pass away. So I think you all do have a
• 5:09
  ticking heart out there. You do have a heart.
• 5:13
  And I think everybody sees that this is his showmanship.
• 5:17
  Denny Hamlin has always said he he loves talking trash.
• 5:22
  You know, that's what Michael Jordan done in in the basketball
• 5:26
  games. Maybe you maybe you didn't
• 5:31
  understand that he he likes egging some of you on like me.
• 5:39
  I love you all. I promise you.
• 5:41
  I'm a lover. Of course, you all already know
• 5:43
  that. But I do like egging some of the
• 5:45
  mean people on, and sometimes if you're reading my stuff, you
• 5:50
  catch the wrath. And I think that's what the deal
• 5:53
  is with Denny. Denny's a good guy.
• 5:54
  I've always told you I love Denny Hamlin.
• 5:57
  He's nice to me. Sent me like 3 pairs of Nike
• 6:01
  tennis shoes. I love them.
• 6:03
  So Denny just feels like that. Maybe you accidentally saw the
• 6:09
  human side of him when he won Vegas, and maybe that's made you
• 6:14
  all understand. Oh, Denny's then he's just a
• 6:19
  showman. He's just having fun with us.
• 6:21
  And maybe it's just clicked with you all that oh, he's been
• 6:26
  having fun with us. Who knows?
• 6:30
  Respond right here. And of course, the all important
• 6:34
  poll on this Friday morning go to Jeff Gluck's social media
• 6:38
  account on X Jeff Gluck is taking a poll and it is awesome.
• 6:44
  There's thousands of people that have already voted.
• 6:46
  Thousands, 51% of the people want Denny Hamlin to win the
• 6:53
  championship. So the four drivers are listed,
• 6:57
  it's William Byron, Kyle Larson, Chase Briscoe and Denny Hamlin.
• 7:03
  And right now on X51 percent of you want Denny Hamlin to win the
• 7:08
  championship, respond right here.
• 7:11
  Have you all realized right here at the end of Denny Hamlin's
• 7:14
  career that he's been trash talking y'all and that he really
• 7:18
  is a good person? Because everybody really knows
• 7:22
  Denny's a good person. They all golf with Denny.
• 7:25
  All the drivers like Denny Hamlin, man, 7 minutes and 30
• 7:29
  seconds and we're not done. Let's finish like this and I'll
• 7:37
  kind of speed it up a little bit.
• 7:41
  This makes me go Oh my this gives me a headache.
• 7:46
  Did you know tonight in the truck race Corey Heim has eleven
• 7:53
  wins and in the old days Corey Heim will have already he would
• 7:58
  he would have wrapped the championship up a month ago.
• 8:02
  Corey Heim with 11 truck wins and Ty Majeski right now was
• 8:08
  quickest in practice. Can can Kai, can Ty Majeski,
• 8:14
  will Ty Majeski steal the championship from Corey Heim
• 8:19
  with 11 truck wins this year? That makes you go Oh my God, If
• 8:26
  that don't make you go Oh my God, check out the Xfinity
• 8:29
  Series with ten wins. Connor Zilich.
• 8:34
  Connor Zilich can lose the Rookie of the Year because right
• 8:37
  now they've reset the points, and Carson Quapple and Connor
• 8:42
  Zillich both have 4000. That's just the way it is.
• 8:46
  Carson Quapple and Connor Zillich both have 4000 points.
• 8:52
  So if Carson Quapple outruns Connor Zillich, he's your Rookie
• 8:58
  of the Year. And of course, the elephant in
• 9:04
  the room, if Connor Zillich has a bad race, he can lose the
• 9:10
  championship. And in the end, on Sunday, on
• 9:18
  Sunday, Who Will Win it all? And like I've always said, like
• 9:25
  I've always said, when it first started, I didn't think much of
• 9:29
  it. And I just sincerely said,
• 9:30
  listen, I like I like this playoffs.
• 9:34
  I just don't like one race determining our champion.
• 9:39
  I'd like to see a, you know, like a month long playoff.
• 9:44
  I always said three races. I do want to see three races
• 9:48
  determine a championship. So on this, on this Friday or
• 9:55
  tomorrow, on Saturday, Saturday. NASCAR President Steve O'Donnell
• 9:59
  will have the State of the Union address, but he said he's not
• 10:04
  going to announce the championship format for next
• 10:07
  year because it will be a new one.
• 10:09
  Remember, everybody, next year everything changes.
• 10:12
  So no need to even complain. Next year, the points change.
• 10:17
  Next year we end the championship at Miami Homestead.
• 10:21
  So Penske don't win the race. And I'll leave you with this.
• 10:28
  I really believe that Ryan Blaney or Joey Logano win the
• 10:33
  race on Sunday. I think the champion does not
• 10:38
  win the race. Oh, my God, my head hurts.
• 10:47
  All right, everybody respond right here if you've made it to
• 10:52
  11 minutes.
