  See her picture on the table? Don't look like she'd be able.
• 0:11
  George Jones. I told my buddy Tim Dugger, I
• 0:15
  said man, I said I found I found George Jones about 3 years ago.
• 0:22
  We were down in Florida as a big family and he's like, Herman,
• 0:26
  are you kidding me? I said yeah.
• 0:27
  I said I'm embarrassed, but it's all I listen to anymore.
• 0:30
  I, I know George Jones's soundtrack on my phone.
• 0:35
  Every time I fly, put those earbuds in, I listen to George
• 0:40
  I. So happy Thursday morning,
• 0:44
  everybody. It's a beautiful day.
• 0:46
  As you can tell, the swimming pool is closed.
• 0:51
  Very sad day, because I love summer.
• 0:54
  I always tell my grandbabies winter sucks.
• 0:58
  Poppy says winter sucks. They love winter though.
• 1:03
  They know Poppy, they love me and we have great grandkids.
• 1:09
  When I was young, snow was cool. Now that I'm old, snow is not
• 1:14
  cool because it don't stay around anymore, damn it.
• 1:17
  It snows and then it's slushy the very next day.
• 1:19
  All right, enough of that, Herman.
• 1:21
  A minute and 20 seconds of nothing but well, that was good
• 1:25
  talk. All right.
• 1:27
  Today's subject matter. It's kind of a deep 1 you you
• 1:31
  would not think it would be deep, but it is why Dale
• 1:39
  Earnhardt junior simply going to run a late model stock race.
• 1:45
  But Florence respond right here, Dale Earnhardt junior running a
• 1:50
  a nice little late model stock or whatever, whatever.
• 1:54
  OK in Florence, but they're going to put the number 8
• 2:00
  Budweiser paint job. See, you can tell I'm old school
• 2:08
  nowadays. Hell, I even think my my buddy,
• 2:12
  my redneck friend, Nick Hoffman, he, I had caught him call
• 2:15
  calling it livery, a livery. I'm like, come over here so I
• 2:21
  can slap you guys. So Dale Junior and everybody
• 2:26
  there at Junior Motorsports has announced that they're going to
• 2:32
  put the number 8 Budweiser paint job, the paint scheme, the
• 2:35
  design, not the livery. Livery is something over there
• 2:40
  in Europe. Livery.
• 2:43
  Give me my tea. So they're going to put that
• 2:48
  that design on one of his late models.
• 2:53
  Now, it did not surprise me that the fans responded so well, so
• 2:59
  nice. So the the subject matter today
• 3:03
  is OK, Dale Junior Simply put in the number 8 buzz wise.
• 3:07
  But Herman, there you go again. Slow down.
• 3:10
  I know you're excited, buddy. Calm down.
• 3:14
  OK, Herman, Jesus, why are the fans jacked up on sun drop about
• 3:24
  the number 8 Budweiser paint job There, I got it out.
• 3:31
  All right, let's let's break this down.
• 3:32
  It goes a lot deeper than it sounds like a OK, there you go
• 3:38
  now you happy? Hey Wallace, we got your coffee
• 3:41
  mug up there for there is so much negativity.
• 3:49
  There is so much anxiety. Have you ever learned that you
• 3:51
  know that that anxiety, that word I'm like when in the world
• 3:54
  did this anxiety start all over the world.
• 3:57
  I got anxiety. I'm like, well, I could get
• 4:00
  nervous. I don't know if I got anxiety in
• 4:03
  in some weird way. Now respond right here.
• 4:07
  Tell me why you're jacked up on Sun Drop about the Budweiser
• 4:11
  paint job on a nice little late model at a nice little Florence,
• 4:17
  SC race. It's not like this paint job is
• 4:20
  going in NASCAR, OK? It the paint job, from what I
• 4:25
  understand, is not going to run a NASCAR race, any type of
• 4:29
  NASCAR race. The Budweiser #8 paint job is
• 4:33
  simply going on one of his late model stocks at a nice little
• 4:38
  short track race. But everybody has lost their
• 4:41
  their minds and I love it. But let's break it down.
• 4:46
  Why everybody's jacked up on sun drop about this because of the
• 4:50
  anxiety nature because of the the elections.
• 4:55
  Your guy, your girl might not be doing the way you want them to.
• 5:00
  Everything's negative. Everything's bad.
• 5:02
  Not Dang. The only thing good in the world
• 5:04
  is the NFL, right? Because I always tease you all.
• 5:07
  You know, people bitch and complain about the prices, but
• 5:10
  if I tell you, you got to pay 2000 for the year to watch the
• 5:15
  NFL, you going to pay it. That's how much you love the
• 5:18
  NFL. So I think the NFL must really
• 5:22
  help people respond right here. If I'm wrong on that, 'cause I,
• 5:26
  I told my relative, he's a, he lives in Milwaukee and he owns,
• 5:30
  he paid $25 and he's got that certificate.
• 5:33
  He owns part of the Packers. I teased with him one day and he
• 5:36
  got aggressive with me. He goes, I don't care what I got
• 5:38
  to pay. I'm like, oh God, just acting
• 5:40
  silly. I was acting silly, Joe, but
• 5:44
  man, when you when you challenge people on paying for their NFL,
• 5:49
  they're like, we love the the game so much.
• 5:51
  We don't care. I think that's the only thing
• 5:55
  going good in in America right now is the NFL Now respond right
• 6:00
  here. OK, we already know it's a money
• 6:02
  machine, but we don't care because we love the game so
• 6:05
  much. So this this Budweiser when when
• 6:11
  Junior Motorsports and Dale Junior and Mike Davis and
• 6:14
  everybody when they put this on Dirty MO Media, I think what it
• 6:19
  did is you, you know how they say you, you cannot go back home
• 6:24
  or you can go back home or you cannot going back into the past.
• 6:31
  You know, sometimes you can go back home, is what I'm saying.
• 6:34
  Yes, you can. You just got to put an effort
• 6:37
  into it. And I think what this did simply
• 6:41
  this, it was like a signal when Dale Junior and them announced
• 6:45
  this number 8 Budweiser paint job, it, it made everybody feel
• 6:50
  like they were 30 years younger. Took us all back to when the
• 6:54
  economy was kicking ass. Things were going good and if
• 6:58
  things were bad, we didn't know it.
• 7:00
  That's key right there. I want you to listen to that.
• 7:03
  When Dale Junior had that paint job, when Dale Junior had the
• 7:08
  number 8 Budweiser paint job, if things were bad, we didn't know
• 7:12
  it. We thought it was a good time
• 7:15
  because I got the receipts. I'm going to bring you right now
• 7:18
  for a fact. The height of NASCAR was 2006.
• 7:23
  So let's say we were having fun all the way up to 2000 and six.
• 7:28
  2008 is when shit hit the fan bad.
• 7:32
  We know that. That's when the housing crisis
• 7:34
  kicked in. That's what everybody started.
• 7:39
  You know, things started going bad, right?
• 7:43
  All the drivers started retiring.
• 7:46
  Things weren't fun after 2008. So I, I believe in ending in
• 7:52
  ending, I believe the number 8 Budweiser paint job took us all
• 7:58
  back. It's like a therapy session
• 8:01
  there. That's what I was trying to get
• 8:02
  to. The number 8 Budweiser paint
• 8:05
  job. Paint scheme is like a wonderful
• 8:08
  therapy session. Everybody looked at that and
• 8:10
  they're like, what? Dale Junior's going to drive
• 8:13
  that? We don't care if it's in NASCAR
• 8:15
  or not. That's awesome.
• 8:17
  Oh, I remember those days. And I know for a fact all around
• 8:21
  America, all around the world right now, people are just
• 8:24
  talking about not literally the race Dale Junior's going to run,
• 8:29
  just that Budweiser. Listen, I'm in Saint Louis.
• 8:33
  I live right here. I can go down to Anheuser Busch,
• 8:36
  and I know those guys. Yeah.
• 8:39
  You know, you got to get legality right and all that
• 8:41
  mumbo jumbo. But when you get down to the
• 8:43
  brass tacks, what does the hell does that mean anyway?
• 8:46
  Brass tacks? I've never used that damn
• 8:48
  phrase. Herman.
• 8:49
  What? Where'd you get that from?
• 8:51
  I don't know. It just came out of nowhere.
• 8:54
  Brass tacks means what's the real taxes?
• 8:57
  What? What am I going to pay?
• 8:59
  I think Budweiser thought this is you know, hey, hold on now.
• 9:02
  Oh controversy Herman. I think this is AI think this is
• 9:07
  a good way for for Budweiser to clean up some of their own masks
• 9:10
  too respond right here. I think I think this is a good
• 9:15
  way for Budweiser to clean up some of their their tough
• 9:18
  situations they've been in right.
• 9:21
  So in ending, this is good therapy for all of us.
• 9:26
  Junior is back. He's running the number 8
• 9:30
  Budweiser card. The same paint job when I was
• 9:33
  happy, when Junior was doing good.
• 9:37
  All right. Hey, you know what I remember?
• 9:39
  I remember this race here when Junior was running, man, I'll
• 9:41
  tell you what. Yeah, I remember that too.
• 9:43
  Joe. Bob.
• 9:44
  Oh, man. I'll tell you what.
• 9:45
  My dad, he put down $10 on Junior when he had that paint
• 9:49
  job. He won.
• 9:50
  My dad took me out for an ice cream.
• 9:52
  It was awesome. I'll never forget it.
• 9:54
  Man, I love that paint job that. See what I'm saying?
• 9:58
  That's what happens. All right, everybody respond
• 10:01
  right here with your Dale Earnhardt junior #8 Iconic paint
• 10:07
  job memories. And if one of you says livery,
• 10:10
  I'm going to come through the phone.
