  Happy whatever day you want it to be and whatever date you want
• 0:05
  it to be. Hey, yesterday I said it's
• 0:13
  Friday, January 6th and I I it all up.
• 0:20
  And what I've learned is that if I mess something up, I I will
• 0:24
  get more responses. So respond right here.
• 0:28
  Should I mess things up? Like what day it is and what
• 0:31
  date? That way you all can correct me.
• 0:35
  Yeah, it's fun correcting people, isn't it?
• 0:39
  I love it. Hey, dumb ass, it's not January
• 0:42
  6th. Hey, but somebody said a good
• 0:46
  show, a good joke. I could see into the future
• 0:50
  because it was January 2nd yesterday and I said it's
• 0:54
  January 6th, so see, I can see into the future.
• 0:59
  All right. I do want to recognize that
• 1:01
  mistake. I thought it was funny as hell.
• 1:03
  I think 90% of the responses were about that.
• 1:06
  He said the wrong date. OK, I will admit it's almost
• 1:15
  noon, but Kim and I have been glued to the TV in there on
• 1:20
  today's World News. Very interesting.
• 1:25
  I do want to talk about NASCAR Victory Lane.
• 1:30
  As you all know, you're looking at the man right here, Joel,
• 1:35
  Robert, John Roberts and myself and either Kyle Petty or me,
• 1:40
  Sir. Excitement.
• 1:41
  Jimmy Spencer. There are always three of us on
• 1:45
  the NASCAR Victory Lane TV show. We made Victor Lane exciting for
• 1:52
  the NASCAR races. When the NASCAR Cup drivers,
• 1:56
  when they won the race, they were very excited.
• 1:59
  They'd come to Victor Lane. You know, back in the day, you
• 2:02
  had Bill Broderick. Remember the hat man?
• 2:05
  I see some pictures out there on social media.
• 2:09
  Where's the hat man? What's he doing?
• 2:12
  I heard that Bill Broderick ran a bar in Chicago.
• 2:17
  Is that true? Respond right here.
• 2:21
  Hey, Google it. Go to Google go where is the hat
• 2:24
  man from the old NASCAR Victory Lane living and it come up and
• 2:30
  it tell you you need to tell you Anyway, here's the point.
• 2:36
  NASCAR Victory Lane is not exciting anymore.
• 2:38
  I don't know who started this and they probably meant well,
• 2:43
  but it's time to correct it. It's, it's got really messy.
• 2:48
  You know, the driver wins the race nowadays.
• 2:51
  He spins out on the front straightaway.
• 2:54
  The crew comes running across the the the grass and the TV
• 2:59
  and, and the interview, they got to go running across it.
• 3:02
  It's just, it's just, it's not good.
• 3:05
  And here's why it's not good. So when we had NASCAR Victor
• 3:09
  Lane, it was exciting right away.
• 3:14
  You got a live look on TV. You could see the wife, the
• 3:19
  children, the crew chief, the owner, the sponsor people.
• 3:24
  So because of that, I feel like everybody's getting cheated.
• 3:29
  You know, when when Dale Earnhardt Senior would win.
• 3:32
  You got those awesome interviews with little Dale Junior.
• 3:37
  See, we're not getting those anymore.
• 3:39
  And for that reason, we need to go back to the legendary NASCAR
• 3:43
  Victory Lane. We need the car to come into
• 3:47
  Victor Lane. We'll go to commercial break
• 3:49
  after the race is over. You come back, the car's in
• 3:53
  Victor lane and there's everybody.
• 3:56
  There's the driver, there's the crew chief, there's the owner,
• 3:59
  there's the wife, there's the kids.
• 4:01
  That's the way it needs to be because right now we're missing
• 4:05
  out. You, you know for a fact you
• 4:07
  know this when anybody takes a picture of anything.
• 4:10
  What do you all do right now? That's right.
• 4:13
  You all zoom. You want to look in the
• 4:14
  background? You're trying to find like
• 4:17
  you're some investigator. Well, that's what we're missing
• 4:20
  right now. You want to see your wife?
• 4:23
  How is she dressed? Is she wearing a big diamond
• 4:25
  ring? Who did her hairs?
• 4:28
  Where's the kids at? You know, Mark the kid, Martin
• 4:34
  out of Batesville, AR. And Matt Martin, his son and
• 4:38
  Arlene, they would go to Victory Lane.
• 4:41
  There were some really good looks at Matt when he was a baby
• 4:44
  in Victor Lane on TV live. Now, you might get some pictures
• 4:49
  nowadays, some still pictures. But you know, it's pretty cool
• 4:53
  when the family and the sponsors and everybody's in Victor Lane
• 4:56
  and, and as old Brett Musburger would say, you're looking live.
• 5:00
  And there's a little Matt Martin with his Mama, Arlene and Mark
• 5:04
  the kid. Oh, there's Jack Roush, there's
• 5:07
  the crew chief, Jimmy Finning. But nowaday it's just, it's
• 5:13
  complete chaos. And I'm not saying it's, it's
• 5:15
  absolutely horrible. I'm not saying it's horrible
• 5:19
  right now. It's just, it's just not as
• 5:20
  good. Let's put it that way.
• 5:23
  So I'm calling for these TV people.
• 5:27
  You know, it's kind of like monkey see, monkey do.
• 5:29
  Somebody started it. So like all the networks are
• 5:32
  doing it. So I'm calling on Fox, which is
• 5:36
  the people I worked for 14 years.
• 5:39
  Let's get back to the way I used to do it because it's all about
• 5:43
  me. I, you know, Joel Robert, Johnny
• 5:49
  Roberts, either Kyle Petty or Mr. Excitement, Jimmy Spencer
• 5:53
  and myself, you know, we would be there.
• 5:57
  You know, you were looking live. They did the, they did the live
• 6:01
  TV interview first. Then they would come to us and
• 6:04
  then we had NASCAR Victory Lane. So for all these reasons, the
• 6:09
  NASCAR victor lane has been diluted.
• 6:12
  You fans aren't seeing what you used to see.
• 6:16
  Maybe the first couple times like, oh, that's cool, the cars
• 6:19
  out there doing Donuts and look all the crews running across.
• 6:22
  But for it's become a disaster. It's not good.
• 6:29
  So once again, that is something that I'd like to add.
• 6:34
  OK, you all, you all want the points changed, right?
• 6:38
  Hell, while I'm at it, I might as well get on this bandwagon.
• 6:41
  Some of you said, hey, Kenny Wallace, you used to like the
• 6:45
  points. What happened to you now?
• 6:47
  And I said, oh, no, I've all I've always been consistent, but
• 6:51
  you've all run over me with the train and now I'm getting on the
• 6:54
  caboose. I'm I'm with you because you've
• 6:57
  all overruled me. I always said I wanted three
• 7:01
  races to determine determine the champion.
• 7:05
  So I I'm with you now because that's what you want.
• 7:09
  I'm not going to fight you till the end.
• 7:12
  So what I want now you all want your points changed.
• 7:15
  Here's what I want. See how it works.
• 7:18
  What I want is I want NASCAR Victor Lane back where it should
• 7:23
  be. And let's bring back somebody
• 7:25
  famous. Let's recreate.
• 7:27
  I mean, nobody can be Bill Broderick the hat man.
• 7:30
  That was his name. Nobody can be him, but let's
• 7:33
  create somebody that's got some wild ass hairdo.
• 7:36
  Bill Broderick, you know, he had that old mustache and beard and
• 7:41
  he was perfectly groomed. And the reason Bill Broderick
• 7:44
  was in there was he was controlling the hat exchanges.
• 7:48
  You take a picture of a hat, you know, everybody get get the
• 7:51
  Gatorade hat on, then everybody take the Gatorade hat off, then
• 7:55
  you put the Goodyear hat on and then you take the picture with
• 7:58
  the Goodyear hat, so on and so forth.
• 8:02
  That's the reason Bill Broderick was in there.
• 8:04
  He was in there. He was the he, he controlled
• 8:07
  Victory Lane. And that's one thing that is
• 8:10
  missing there. There's just suits in there now
• 8:14
  or some real nice lady. And it's like, who the hell
• 8:16
  these people? Let's get somebody that's
• 8:18
  entertaining back in Victory Lane.
• 8:20
  Let's get a leader in there. Let's get somebody looks a
• 8:23
  little awesome. All right, respond right here
• 8:28
  and happy whatever day it is.
