  Happy Saturday morning, everybody.
• 0:07
  I'm going to show you what's going on right here in St.
• 0:10
  Louis, MO. There it is.
• 0:13
  We have had rain all night long. It's 49°.
• 0:20
  And and look at Louie. Look at Louie over there.
• 0:23
  He's like, I don't want anything to do with none of this.
• 0:27
  And look at Lucy right here. Look at that.
• 0:33
  And last but not least, look at me.
• 0:39
  It's cold, 49°. It's 8:10 in the morning, 8:10
• 0:45
  in the morning, and I got the fire on.
• 0:51
  And what is it? April 7th?
• 0:54
  I don't know what date it is. It's in the middle of April.
• 0:57
  So this is God's reminder it's not summer yet.
• 1:03
  It it could be where you're at. Oh, yeah.
• 1:05
  And we've done all that. We've already had the 95° here.
• 1:09
  It's 95°. Let's open the swimming pool up.
• 1:12
  We do it every year. We're dumb.
• 1:16
  Oh, it's so hot. We do it every year.
• 1:18
  We open the pull up. So tomorrow morning, on
• 1:22
  Saturday, supposed to be in the 30s.
• 1:25
  God's way of reminding you it's not summer yet.
• 1:32
  I think that was my monologue. OK, It was a great night last
• 1:37
  night. It was my ninth race of the
• 1:41
  year, but it was my first race in my new Mobile 1 dirt car.
• 1:47
  By the way, a lot of people want to know what kind of oil I run
• 1:51
  in that Mobile 1 dirt car. I run zero 50 racing oil.
• 1:57
  That's important to know racing oil.
• 2:01
  I think it's got a little, you know, I'm looking at the weather
• 2:04
  here. Looks like we got something
• 2:07
  coming in Friday or Saturday, but I don't know.
• 2:11
  It's got a little more zinc in it, I think respond right here.
• 2:15
  Let me know Google it chat GP. Hey watch, hey, ChatGPT, why is
• 2:22
  racing oil different than normal car passenger oil?
• 2:29
  Boom. It tell you everything.
• 2:32
  I love it. John Skatoni, my buddy, we're
• 2:36
  over there in Europe and you know, there's so much we wanted
• 2:39
  to know. And John, you know, you, you,
• 2:42
  you can get the cheap Jack Jack GPT free and you just got it.
• 2:49
  Going to go ChatGPT. Tell me why, you know.
• 2:54
  But anyway, yeah, Zero 50 almost forgot what I was talking about.
• 3:04
  So that's what we run and it's great motor oil.
• 3:06
  Like I told you yesterday, the new coffee mugs will be coming
• 3:10
  in. They're not in yet, but we're
• 3:13
  going to order them today. I'm going to call, I'm going to
• 3:16
  call R&R up my souvenir company over there in Valley Park, MO
• 3:21
  Going to call Neil Quick. He's a salesman.
• 3:24
  And of course Phil right out owns R&R.
• 3:28
  And we'll go. OK, let's let's start the, the
• 3:30
  new mobile one. Coffee mugs.
• 3:34
  I think we're going to keep some Sunoco coffee mugs on hand
• 3:38
  because people like to collect a coffee mug maybe one a year.
• 3:42
  You know, you open up my cupboard up there and I got all
• 3:44
  types of coffee mugs. So yeah, this has been a hit and
• 3:51
  I want to thank you all so much. But yeah, shop kennywallace.com
• 3:55
  and we got T-shirts, The Coffee with Kenny T-shirts look just
• 4:00
  like that. And of course we got the decals
• 4:02
  that look just like that. And we got the we got the Ghost
• 4:07
  line, which people like the ghost line.
• 4:09
  It's the T-shirt, the hoodie that got just one color.
• 4:15
  It's a, you know, so everything is black but with Gray,
• 4:18
  something nice to go out and eat in, you know.
• 4:24
  OK, so we won last night. It was exciting.
• 4:27
  It was a great start to the year and couldn't get any better.
• 4:35
  Started third in our heat and we won that put me They go by
• 4:40
  passing points. We won the A main from the pole,
• 4:47
  of course, like Schrader says. Where'd you start, Herman?
• 4:50
  I said on the pole, well, you better win.
• 4:53
  I'm like, buddy, there's some fast race car drivers here.
• 4:58
  You got the great Rick Canoyer, who I had to go against last
• 5:02
  year for the championship. You got probably our fastest
• 5:06
  race car driver in the Midwest right now, Trev Jacoby.
• 5:10
  You got the Stein King family, Owen Stein King and forgot the
• 5:15
  other one, two Stein Kings. They're fast.
• 5:18
  But yeah, you know, it's just like anywhere, any local
• 5:21
  racetrack, you're going to have heroes.
• 5:25
  You know, this is a perfect time for me to remind you all some
• 5:30
  fun I had with the great Dale Senior when motorhomes became a
• 5:35
  thing in NASCAR. I mean, you know, we, we were,
• 5:37
  we were putting 200,000 people, you know, in these race tracks
• 5:42
  at Charlotte, you know, Motor Speedway and of course Daytona
• 5:47
  and Talladega. But the motorhomes came and
• 5:50
  Earnhardt said, Herman, I'm going to pick you up in my
• 5:52
  motorhome. Let's go to Darlington together.
• 5:54
  I'm like, I mean, man, my heart was pounding.
• 5:57
  Just me and Dale senior went to Darlington and we got to talking
• 6:05
  and I reminded you all of this, but I'm just telling you exactly
• 6:08
  when it happened. So Earnhardt picks me up.
• 6:10
  I'm living, Kim and I and our kids were living in a Oakwood
• 6:15
  that was the brand, a double wide mobile home.
• 6:17
  Loved it. And Earnhardt pulls around our
• 6:21
  driveway, picks me up. There I am.
• 6:24
  We're headed to Darlington, the Southern 500, the track that's
• 6:28
  too tough to tame. We get to talking and he taught
• 6:33
  me a lesson, something I'll never forget.
• 6:35
  He said, Herman, there are thousands of great race car
• 6:40
  drivers all over America. They can't all be NASCAR.
• 6:46
  And, and that and I tell you all, and I just a reminder for
• 6:49
  some people that have never listened, every time I line up
• 6:52
  at these local dirt tracks, I mean, there they are just like
• 6:57
  Earnhardt said. And and also Earnhardt said,
• 7:00
  look, there's only 40 starting spots or however many we had
• 7:05
  back in the day. They all can't be NASCAR.
• 7:11
  You know, that's a whole nother subject right there.
• 7:12
  I find some people get angry. Some people get mad because
• 7:17
  they're not NASCAR, you know. Well, I'm not angry and I'm not
• 7:22
  mad, but I wanted to be. I tell you all the time, I
• 7:25
  wanted to be Jeff Gordon. But I'm very thankful for my
• 7:29
  life. You know, I'm happier than I've
• 7:31
  ever been at 62 years old. I guess all the bulls over, you
• 7:37
  know, every time I say that word, I think of I think of the
• 7:42
  great John Force. Hey, John, what makes you stand
• 7:47
  out above all the other drivers? Bullshit.
• 7:52
  I got a lot of bullshit. So I'm happy, super happy.
• 8:02
  Yeah, it's a whole another subject.
• 8:03
  I'll go about another minute listening to somebody.
• 8:10
  Last night I was getting ready to go to bed, but I was
• 8:12
  scrolling social media, laying in bed.
• 8:16
  God, it was somebody important. They said the biggest surprise,
• 8:20
  Oh, it was Travis Pastrana. Travis Pastrana.
• 8:24
  I was watching a little thing on Instagram.
• 8:26
  I think maybe he was being interviewed by Brian Deegan.
• 8:30
  You know, Brian Deegan started Metal Militia, come to find out,
• 8:33
  I thought it was a real rivalry, but they both pretend they hate
• 8:37
  each other. Brian Deegan and Travis
• 8:41
  Pastrana. But Pastrana said when he was
• 8:44
  motocross and he'd lined up on the on the gate, felt like he
• 8:47
  could win, became miserable over worrying about everything.
• 8:52
  And but he, he, he, he taught a valuable lesson.
• 8:58
  And I, and I've heard this out of Aaron Rodgers and other great
• 9:01
  athletes, there's a sense of misery required to win.
• 9:09
  You know, you can't be happy. You have to be focused.
• 9:12
  But Pastrana said he wasn't having any fun when he was
• 9:14
  motocrossing, you know, for the win for, you know, real
• 9:17
  motocrossing racing, not not the X Games.
• 9:22
  But I hear that out of more athletes, the misery that is
• 9:26
  required to be great. I was miserable.
• 9:33
  I was miserable NASCAR, because I wasn't very good.
• 9:37
  And now here I am in my retirement years, just I'm so
• 9:41
  happy I got a wonderful family, 6 grandbabies and Lila.
• 9:47
  Every day I go to the shop, I just say I'm going to go to
• 9:50
  lunch and little, little Lila, 2 years old, I go Poppy, I go,
• 9:56
  Yep, you're going there I am. Put her in the put her in the
• 10:00
  baby chair in the back of the truck.
• 10:03
  All right, everybody so much more to talk about, but we keep
• 10:06
  it well, 10 minutes already. All right, remember shop
• 10:10
