  Happy Sunday morning, everybody. My wife was just not telling me
• 0:06
  what to do. There she is.
• 0:12
  All the ladies in my life are right in front of me.
• 0:18
  Mom, say hello. We're happy today.
• 0:24
  Happy, happy. If you're happy and you know it,
• 0:27
  stomp your feet. If you're, it's a great day.
• 0:34
  All right everybody, I want to thank you all for watching all
• 0:38
  the Mark Martin content. Mark Martin was wonderful and
• 0:42
  boy, you, you sure are showing up.
• 0:45
  I went over on YouTube and I see some of the videos are
• 0:49
  approaching over 100,000 views. And I know Mark Martin
• 0:53
  appreciates it because Mark had a lot of things to say and he
• 0:58
  really wanted to get it off his chest.
• 1:01
  And yes, I'm very thankful that Mark is a dear friend of mine.
• 1:07
  And when Mark Martin calls, he says, Herman, I love that damn
• 1:12
  coffee with Kenny. Your hair's all messed up.
• 1:15
  You're wearing them damn glasses.
• 1:17
  Except my hair looks look my, my hair's look pretty good today
• 1:21
  except my old ass. I run my head in this all the
• 1:23
  time. My family says, Dad, we're going
• 1:26
  to get you a helmet. You get older, you're running,
• 1:30
  you know, it's just the way it goes.
• 1:32
  But I didn't run into anything last night.
• 1:35
  And last night was a great night at the racetrack for me.
• 1:40
  We won the 2025 Fall Frost Classic and they inverted the
• 1:46
  damn field and I come from 4th through a couple sliders.
• 1:52
  I was engaged and I was full of piss and vinegar.
• 1:56
  I was ready to go. We actually won the Missouri
• 2:02
  Illinois regional championship, which is a very hard
• 2:05
  championship to want when I've never said anything to you all
• 2:09
  because I was trying to do it. I didn't want to jinx myself.
• 2:12
  So that that is 7 race tracks between Missouri and Illinois.
• 2:19
  It's between Brownstown, Highland, Peevely, Quincy,
• 2:23
  Granite, Benton, Missouri. Anyways, like 7 race tracks.
• 2:29
  We won that damn thing by 7 points on the last night.
• 2:33
  Then we won the what they call the Bullring championship.
• 2:38
  That is between the Peebly Racetrack here in Peebly,
• 2:41
  Missouri and also between the Brownstown Bullring in
• 2:46
  Brownstown, IL. Now we'll be honest with you,
• 2:49
  I'm raced out. This old man has had enough.
• 2:53
  I'm ready for the holiday season and it will be due.
• 2:58
  I'm ready to spend time with my family and put my race car to
• 3:03
  bed. OK, Later tonight I'll put out a
• 3:07
  little something that y'all can look at.
• 3:10
  Thanking all my sponsors, but I thanked Mark Martin.
• 3:14
  I told you all about what's been up in my racing, but right now
• 3:19
  it's all about my wife. My God, was she a success.
• 3:24
  I'm going to brag on her a little bit, then I'm going to
• 3:27
  turn the phone on her. She worked for six months.
• 3:36
  Kim, Kim's favorite person in her life, as a friend.
• 3:39
  Her Aunt Pat died of Lewy body dementia and she was by her side
• 3:46
  the whole time. So she lost a lot of time
• 3:50
  getting ready for her show that she loves dearly.
• 3:55
  Her and her little niece Amy, they spend every single day
• 4:00
  down, down the stairs. You know, in Saint Louis, we got
• 4:03
  basements. Basements are livable.
• 4:06
  They're walk out. So we got the upstairs there,
• 4:09
  but we got a basement And downstairs, Kim's wreath
• 4:12
  factory. She gets out of bed, puts her
• 4:16
  damn hair in a ponytail in the halls, ass downstairs.
• 4:20
  So let me scoot over here and here.
• 4:25
  She is the queen. Now I want to be clear, the love
• 4:30
  of my life also is my Mama. She made me.
• 4:34
  She made me. So if you don't like me, blame
• 4:37
  it on her. She's a bad ass though.
• 4:42
  Everything I everything I do is like her.
• 4:45
  So we'll get to my mom in a minute, OK, Well, there's Lucy.

• 6:11
  so to speak and and then working your ass off.
• 6:16
  Well, it was it was very hard, but every she came first to
• 6:21
  everything and I knew I'd get something done.
• 6:23
  I didn't know if I'd get all of that done, but once she passed
• 6:28
  me and Amy went to work and we were putting in so many hours
• 6:32
  from like 8. Sometimes I came up at like.

  What's leftover is going up. It's just going.
• 6:46
  Out one thing last night was the very first night in bed she did
• 6:51
  not get on her phone, so I knew she met her man.
• 6:55
  I was tired, but no, I'll fill those orders and then it'll
• 6:59
  probably take me about a week to do the orders I need and then
• 7:04
  we'll be on to Christmas. I never stopped, so there's
• 7:07
  always a next. Kim's craft show.
• 7:11
  I'm going to brag on my wife Kim's craft show.
• 7:14
  She made a believer in all of us four years ago.
• 7:16
  We're like, what the hell are you doing?
• 7:19
  Yesterday we had thousands of people there, no exaggeration.
• 7:23
  The people there, they'll tell you they came from, they drove
• 7:27
  from Pennsylvania, Michigan, they Michigan, Oklahoma City, OK
• 7:32
  City, Mississippi, Iowa. And here.
• 7:36
  Yeah, and we, we are forever thankful.
• 7:39
  But you had a really cool idea this year.
• 7:42
  You had waffles, but you had a food court.
• 7:44
  Tell us about the food court. Well, actually I had that last
• 7:49
  year, but. It looked different this year.
• 7:51
  Because it was in another room with all of the other stuff and
• 7:54
  it it just gives people a time to kind of bring their friends,
• 7:59
  sit down and talk a little bit and just kind of get into the
• 8:04
  holiday spirit. Yeah.
• 8:05
  So OK, we're at 8 minutes now and I want to talk to my mom for
• 8:10
  a minute. Look at this.
• 8:11
  Look at this. Louie, what the hell you doing?
• 8:16
  I'm not giving up the Kim. He's a fur collar mom.
• 8:18
  When you come into town, what did what did you think of all
• 8:21
  this crazy stuff we got going on?
• 8:23
  Do you think we're crazy? No, because I was there too at
• 8:27
  one time. Because Mom.
• 8:30
  Crazy. I mean, I, I know I was very
• 8:33
  proud of Kim. Of course I always am proud of
• 8:36
  Kim, but. She made a believer in all of
• 8:39
  us. Oh well, the both of you have
• 8:42
  the same focus. When you get on a project or a
• 8:45
  subject, you both can really get in there and focus.
• 8:51
  Look at him. Everything was so nice, friendly
• 8:56
  people, happy people. I I had to sit and laugh because
• 9:00
  they opened the doors and they were packed up outside waiting
• 9:04
  to get in and I stood there looking and all of a sudden they
• 9:08
  started rushing inside and they all seemed to know exactly what
• 9:13
  they. I did that video so they knew
• 9:15
  where things were. And they were just tickled, but
• 9:20
  she had this great waffle, this lady that came and made
• 9:26
  personalized she. Had a husband.
• 9:28
  Specialized waffles. And then you walk in the other
• 9:32
  room and here she had this. Really.
• 9:35
  Cute little Bistro looks like set up and it just couldn't have
• 9:41
  been any nicer. It was just so nice and
• 9:44
  everybody was happy and meeting greeting it it, it couldn't have
• 9:50
  been any better. And then, and then Kenny had a
