  Happy Tuesday morning, everybody.
• 0:05
  Well, they sent me away. They teach me how to be
• 0:09
  sensible, illogical, practical. What a great song.
• 0:15
  You ever heard that song? There's a there's a remake on on
• 0:20
  everywhere TikTok X. There's this group out of
• 0:25
  Australia. I think it's called HCSS.
• 0:29
  Check them out, they are considered one of the greatest
• 0:32
  cover bands in the world. How about how about the
• 0:37
  legendary 2003 Chevrolet Suburban?
• 0:45
  204,000 miles. That baby right there is my
• 0:50
  gangster mobile. Yep, I ordered a brand new
• 0:59
  Toyota Tundrum. We will always keep that
• 1:02
  legendary gangster mobile. Keep that baby to go downtown
• 1:07
  Saint Louis to the games. Spare vehicle for the family.
• 1:14
  We'll keep it. We're never selling it.
• 1:17
  I got liability insurance on it and air conditioners got a leak.
• 1:23
  We refilled it twice. Joe, Rudy, my buddy up at AL's
• 1:27
  Auto Service. There's there's some stuff
• 1:32
  leaking here, there, everywhere. Even in your underwear.
• 1:36
  OK, it's all good. I'm keeping it.
• 1:39
  Calm down. Calm down.
• 1:41
  I'm keeping it. I'm making fun of the people
• 1:46
  that I'd run that zombie till she die.
• 1:55
  I'd run that I don't. It's all good.
• 1:59
  I'm keeping it. She going to go down in history,
• 2:01
  baby. All right.
• 2:05
  There are times in all the world.
• 2:09
  Well, there he is. There's the legend Louis in the
• 2:14
  house. Look at him.
• 2:19
  He's a nervous Nelly. He's always prancing around,
• 2:23
  trying to find, just always digging.
• 2:27
  OK, today's topic. I was strolling social media and
• 2:36
  Max Verstappen. Max Verstappen is a Formula One
• 2:42
  driver that has just been kicking everybody's ass
• 2:46
  Mercifully. So when you go through sports
• 2:52
  history, I mean, it kind of goes like this, right?
• 2:56
  The Yankees in baseball, they won everything.
• 2:59
  They they're 20 something time World Series champions.
• 3:04
  Then you go to football, you got, you know, the Steel
• 3:07
  Curtain, you get the, you know, Pittsburgh Steelers, you know,
• 3:12
  Terry Bradshaw, all the big boys there.
• 3:16
  Then you go to baseball, like I told you, Yankees, you know, you
• 3:20
  know, I mean, it goes on and on. Then you go to, to anything like
• 3:25
  NASCAR, you got the King Richard Petty, you know, then you got
• 3:30
  Dale Earnhardt, then you got Jimmie Johnson.
• 3:34
  You, you, you get what I'm saying, right?
• 3:36
  You have the greats and then these greats, they win, win,
• 3:40
  win, win. And then they start petering
• 3:43
  out. They just natural, natural.
• 3:49
  But maybe I'm too sent. Maybe I'm too sensitive.
• 3:54
  Right. So I, I read this article about
• 3:57
  Max Verstappen. Oh no, he's not.
• 4:01
  He's not winning. There's an old saying you can't
• 4:07
  win them all. There's an end to everything.
• 4:11
  I remember brother Rusty coming to the end and winning one races
• 4:17
  last year and he's saying this is it.
• 4:20
  It's just getting harder for me to win.
• 4:24
  Same within same with music. I mean, you do you look at
• 4:28
  people that do music, you know, they make all these hits and all
• 4:35
  of a sudden it get, it gets harder to write hits.
• 4:41
  Any of them. Anybody.
• 4:42
  I mean, I watched a beautiful special about Shania Twain.
• 4:44
  My God. She teamed up with Old Mutt Mutt
• 4:48
  Lange. Old Mutt and Herman.
• 4:51
  They they they made some hits. All right.
• 4:55
  Here. Here's the moral to the story.
• 4:58
  This is what I'm trying to get to.
• 5:00
  It's impossible to be great till death.
• 5:03
  You're gonna Peter out, you know, And, and I don't think
• 5:08
  it's, I think the story should read.
• 5:10
  What a run by Max Verstappen. Now, Max Verstappen is not done
• 5:16
  by any means, but the audacity, in other words, the the balls
• 5:22
  that these people do when they write these articles, it's like
• 5:26
  the world's coming to an end. Max Verstappen, he's quit
• 5:30
  winning everything. No, that's not the story.
• 5:33
  The story is, wow, what a run by Max Verstappen.
• 5:37
  Because we've seen this over and over and over, right?
• 5:42
  I don't, I don't, I don't think the story is he got the bubble
• 5:46
  headed bleach blonde. She comes on at 5.
• 5:49
  She tells you about the plane crash with a gleam in her eye.
• 5:53
  People love it when you die. Give me dirty laundry.
• 5:58
  People don't want you to celebrate your career until
• 6:00
  you're dead. Is he dead yet 'cause if he's
• 6:03
  not dead yet, I'm going to keep smashing on his head.
• 6:07
  What is it with people? What is it with people?
• 6:11
  I also read as Matt Yokum on X. He talked about how great Darryl
• 6:16
  Waltrip really was. Darryl Waltrip was a bad hombre,
• 6:22
  that guy. If you look up Darryl Waltrip
• 6:24
  now, Darryl, you know, and me and Rusty and a handful, we run
• 6:31
  that mouth. We love it.
• 6:37
  All right, they coming up here. I know what that's all about.
• 6:42
  1-2, three and two. The foe, Snoop Doggy Dogg and
• 6:48
  Doctor Dre is at the dough ready to make an entrance.
• 6:51
  So back on up, 'cause I'm getting ready to push up, so
• 6:55
  hand me the microphone so I can bust your bubble.
• 7:01
  Reminds me of that meme where the guy's, you know, his ADHD
• 7:07
  and he starts working on his car and his car starts missing.
• 7:10
  He goes and the ADH person starts dancing.
• 7:16
  So they don't recognize that the car's missing.
• 7:18
  They're like, hey, this is music man.
• 7:24
  So anyway, that's it. Respond right here.
• 7:30
  When people are great forever and they start petering out, do
• 7:34
  you think man, that was a great run or do you think, oh, he's
• 7:37
  not no good anymore? I don't like him.
• 7:42
  I find it odd how people don't celebrate people.
• 7:46
  It's only when you die, you got to fucking die.
• 7:49
  You got to die until they finally give up smashing your
• 7:52
  head. Have a great Tuesday and I'll
• 7:55
  see you in Benton. Benton, Missouri night hour and
• 7:58
  a half down the road. By the way, Arkansas old and
• 8:01
  boy, they got rained out last night and it was the right
• 8:03
  decision. It poured boatloads of rain
• 8:08
  right around 6:00 last night so it made the right decision.
• 8:13
  See you in Benton, MO night for the Summer Nationals Hell Tour.
