Transcript
- 0:00Happy Wednesday morning, everybody.
- 0:04Is daylight savings time coming back?
- 0:08I sure hope so. And looks like they're going to
- 0:12ban TikTok. Those are the two topics on
- 0:17Coffee with Kenny. All right, Daylight savings
- 0:23time. This topic came up last night.
- 0:26Kim and I, we're both looking at each other and she says I don't
- 0:31know why I've been so tired lately.
- 0:34I said well honey, I said it's winter time.
- 0:37I said these, this is Bang Bang time of the year.
- 0:44I don't know about you all, but the older you get, winter gets
- 0:50junky and I don't think it's been over 25° here in Saint
- 0:55Louis in about 3 weeks. So daylight savings time, isn't
- 1:02it amazing that that we could just make a decision and it
- 1:07really can, it really can control your life.
- 1:12I'm thinking, let's break it down.
- 1:15All right? And then you all respond right
- 1:16here. I'm thinking that I'm retired
- 1:21and you do know it's all about me because you know, you know,
- 1:27that's, that's what they said. Like if you do any voting, if
- 1:30you vote or anything, you know, you vote what's best for your
- 1:32family. So I, I get up out of bed.
- 1:38What around? Well, you guys have seen it
- 1:40before. I, I'm known to get up at 4:30
- 1:42in the morning and it's dark. So if it's dark at 4:30 in the
- 1:46morning and it's dark at 7:30 in the morning, well, then that's
- 1:50no big deal to me. I I don't really.
- 1:54Morning time's not a big thing to me.
- 1:56You know what I mean? I'm just up.
- 1:58If the sun comes up at 8:00, OK? I would rather have that light
- 2:04outside while I'm busy doing something.
- 2:08I don't like it. I don't like it getting dark at
- 2:114:50. I mean, as of right now, I can
- 2:16tell you when I was in, I'll never forget it as long as I
- 2:18live and listen to me as long as I live.
- 2:23Who started that? I'll never forget it as long as
- 2:26I live. I guess I won't because here I
- 2:31am. When I was a crew chief,
- 2:3319846321 years old, I guess I was 21 years old.
- 2:40I become a Cup crew chief, the Levi Garrett team, Joe Rutman.
- 2:44I'll never forget it. Went to the race shop.
- 2:49It was dark, went home, it was dark.
- 2:54So if it's going to be dark, I'd rather go to work in the dark
- 2:58and come home in the light. So I'm all for this this change
- 3:04if they do it. But what's crazy is I guess we
- 3:08got to do a deep dive and maybe you can help me with this.
- 3:11Respond right here. Why some of you like going to
- 3:16work in the dark and coming home in the dark.
- 3:20All we got to do, all we got to do is fix the clock one hour and
- 3:24you'll be coming home in the daylight.
- 3:26So I'm thinking to myself, you know, what about the will it
- 3:34save on what? What will it do to the electric
- 3:36companies? Will it, I mean, I believe that
- 3:40everybody knows what's up. And I just really think as far
- 3:45as happiness, I'm looking, I'm looking at this as far as
- 3:48happiness, I really think that if they get rid of daylight
- 3:53savings time, it'll just make everybody happier.
- 3:58And who who isn't all for happiness.
- 4:02So, you know, they say that there's this little thing up in
- 4:05your head. I've read, I've read a story
- 4:09about it. I've seen documents,
- 4:12documentaries about it. They say there's a sensory up in
- 4:16the up in the middle of your head.
- 4:18They they say that's why people up in Alaska.
- 4:21Did you know in Alaska, number one place for suicide, the
- 4:25number one place for, you know, drinking drunks is Alaska
- 4:30because it's dark all the time, being dark all the time.
- 4:33Well, there you go. You're dark all the time.
- 4:36Why you so dark? All right, Wow, that was good
- 4:41right there. I just, as Andy Petrie said, I
- 4:43just debull that. Why you got to be so dark all
- 4:47the time? And right now it's dark all the
- 4:49damn time. Let's get rid of that.
- 4:51We can do that. I don't care about it being dark
- 4:54in the morning. I want it.
- 4:56I want it light all damn day long.
- 4:58So that thing lights my head up and I'm ready to roll.
- 5:02All right, as Larry Mac Reynolds say, I think we bit that.
- 5:05I think we beat beat that Daylight savings time like a
- 5:08dead horse. OK, I like this kid.
- 5:15Kelly Clarkson. I like her.
- 5:17Oh, I love Brooke Shields, too. Oh, Brooke.
- 5:23How about old Brooke Shields, man, when she was a what was
- 5:26that? I forgot that show or that
- 5:28movie. Blue Lagoon.
- 5:30Blue Lagoon, Kelly Clarkson, she's a singer.
- 5:34She's good, all right. TikTok, TikTok, Paddy Wack, Give
- 5:40the dog a bone, stuff like that. All right, they say.
- 5:45They say TikTok is a threat to our national security because
- 5:54TikTok is owned by a foreign country.
- 6:00And when you sign up for TikTok, they know everything about you
- 6:03and they're collecting your data.
- 6:06So they have, they must have done something to make a big
- 6:11deal out of this because, you know, our national security says
- 6:18that Tik Tok's no good. I'm laughing to myself in a bad
- 6:23way. People say to me, Herman, do you
- 6:27have TikTok? I said, buddy, I'm doing all I
- 6:31can do. I've got Facebook, I've got X,
- 6:36I've got Snapchat, I've got Instagram and you want me to get
- 6:41TikTok? I think that'd be a full time
- 6:44job. And I, and I see all these
- 6:48people share these videos, you know, with TikTok and I, I know
- 6:53it's got to be fun. My buddy Billy Smith, he lives
- 6:55on TikTok. He's a racer.
- 6:57These racers, they live on TikTok.
- 7:00It must be a really good app. I, you know, I can't do another
- 7:08app. So that's the reason I don't do
- 7:12TikTok. Now I want to say this, this is
- 7:14controversial. I know for a fact that NASCAR
- 7:22needs TikTok. They put all their effort in
- 7:25TikTok because that's where all the kids are.
- 7:28And I know that if I think Tik Tok's going to get bought out, I
- 7:33think I think that that O'Leary guy, I think somebody's going to
- 7:39buy it at the last minute. I, I don't see TikTok being
- 7:44gone, but they saying like this week it's a big deal.
- 7:47Like it could go down. But NASCAR and all these race
- 7:53tracks that are high level, they're like, man, we don't want
- 7:57to, but we, we know that TikTok is huge.
- 8:02And I, I've never even been on TikTok.
- 8:05I only got the app not, not because I'm protesting.
- 8:09I just, I just have had no interest and I, I'm doing all I
- 8:13can do And these, these apps are just fine for me.
- 8:17But I know for a fact NASCAR says TikTok is, is very
- 8:22important to them. And they're, they've invested
- 8:24everything, all their highlights, everything's on
- 8:27TikTok. So I don't care one way or the
- 8:30other. But respond right here.
- 8:34Would you rather give up national security but have have
- 8:37your, your, your vice? Like you got to have that
- 8:41cigarette. You've got to have that
- 8:43cigarette. I've got to have this drink and
- 8:46that cigarette and that drink is TikTok.
- 8:48I can't do without TikTok. It helps me.
- 8:53All right, everybody, two things.
- 8:57Do you want daylight savings time and do you want TikTok?
- 9:02Respond right here. Give me your opinion as Dale
- 9:06Junior, say I then.
