  Happy Monday morning, everybody. Song of the day.
• 0:09
  Well, I've never been to Spain now, but I kind of like the
• 0:16
  music. I don't know all the words.
• 0:20
  That's not important. Remember I said about a week
• 0:24
  ago, never let the words get in away from singing a song.
• 0:29
  All right, everybody, it's Monday getting ready to do
• 0:36
  Herman Schrader and we've got a lot to talk about.
• 0:39
  There's been a lot going on this week.
• 0:43
  Of course, Tony Stewart T Stew is back by popular demand.
• 0:51
  He honed, honed his craft. Home means you really zoned in
• 0:57
  on it and you got good at your craft.
• 1:00
  And after so many years, Tony Stewart told me, he said,
• 1:05
  Herman, it started out to where I just wanted to communicate
• 1:10
  with Leah. At the time, Leah Pruitt, you
• 1:13
  know, was Tony Stewart's girlfriend.
• 1:15
  And he told me, he said, you know, it was a deal where she
• 1:18
  was talking all this lingo and I really didn't understand what
• 1:22
  she's talking about. True story.
• 1:25
  That's what Tony Stewart told me.
• 1:27
  So he said, you know, I went to go to take a little school.
• 1:30
  And then of course, it's like a bag of potato chips.
• 1:33
  Once you pick them up, you cannot put them down.
• 1:37
  So Tony Stewart gets really good.
• 1:42
  We we never had any doubt. I think we we followed the
• 1:46
  storyline, right? It's like, what's Tony doing?
• 1:50
  Oh, he left NASCAR. Oh, is Tony Stewart got a
• 1:54
  girlfriend? Oh, how long will this one last?
• 1:59
  This one lasts forever. Forever and ever.
• 2:04
  Ever and ever. Ever, ever and ever.
• 2:09
  Ay, man, who is that Randy? Is that Randy Jackson?
• 2:15
  I think Randy Jackson home is from down there by Rockingham.
• 2:20
  Remember now Rockingham, the truck races this Friday at
• 2:24
  Rockingham and then the Xfinity race I believe is sold out.
• 2:28
  But check on tickets, see if you might be able to get a ticket.
• 2:32
  The Xfinity race is this Saturday at Rockingham.
• 2:34
  So Kenny Schrader and myself, we will be down in the city of
• 2:39
  Rockingham on Thursday night and then Friday we'll be at the
• 2:46
  racetrack at 2:00 and we'll be signing all drafts, having a
• 2:50
  good time, talking it up, just like we do on Herman Schrader.
• 2:55
  But yeah, back to T Stew. Here he is.
• 2:58
  And he wins the four wide at Las Vegas.
• 3:02
  So they they got 4 lanes. This was one of those big NHRA
• 3:07
  drag races and Tony Stewart runs in the Top Fuel category.
• 3:11
  So you know, you got Top Fuel, you got Funny Car, you know you
• 3:16
  got a lot of other series, whether it's alcohol or bikes.
• 3:20
  But anyway, congratulations to Tony Stewart.
• 3:23
  Now, I talked to Tony Stewart last week.
• 3:27
  I said, Tony, I said you were my very first conversation on Kenny
• 3:32
  conversation. I said we are coming up on 100
• 3:38
  real Kenny conversations. I said respectfully my friend,
• 3:43
  would you please, you know, let's do it and celebrate.
• 3:47
  You had a whole new career. He said I'm 99% sure right now
• 3:53
  I'm holding my baby Dominic while Leo was doing something.
• 3:57
  So safe to say Tony Stewart has a nice new life and I think is
• 4:02
  worthy of a a new Kenny conversation 'cause he's got a
• 4:06
  new life running drag cars now, married to Leah, got a baby.
• 4:12
  So wow, what talk about making a successful turn in life.
• 4:17
  He's really done it. There's a perfect example right
• 4:20
  there where I preach your life will not change until you change
• 4:29
  your life. And Tony Stewart, by God, he
• 4:32
  changed his life. He said I'm leaving massacre,
• 4:35
  I'm out of here. I don't like what y'all are
• 4:37
  doing. Tony left and fell in love with
• 4:42
  a girl. I had a baby and just won one of
• 4:45
  the biggest drag races, you know, 4 wide out there in Vegas.
• 4:48
  That's no joke man. That was a hell of a race too.
• 4:51
  All four of them from from all the videos I could see now you
• 4:55
  respond right here. But from all the videos I could
• 4:58
  see it was a great drag race. I mean all four took off.
• 5:03
  I don't think it. Are you kidding me?
• 5:06
  Are you kidding me? Waves of showers and storms.
• 5:16
  Me and Schrader making a big effort to get back Friday night,
• 5:19
  too, to run, run peevely, Federated Auto Parts Raceway
• 5:24
  Park. I'm going to run my dirt car,
• 5:26
  run my Sunoco dirt car this Saturday, peevely.
• 5:31
  But yeah, I, I, I think that's one thing I want to leave you
• 5:34
  with Tony Stewart. Your life will not change until
• 5:39
  you change your life. So if you don't like your life
• 5:44
  and you're bitching and moaning all this, No, no, we don't bitch
• 5:47
  and moan about that guy and this.
• 5:49
  I don't like my job. Change it because life goes so
• 5:54
  fast that it'll be over before you know, you'll be dead and
• 5:58
  don't even know it. You'll be like, damn it, I'd
• 6:00
  that's, that's what's going to happen.
• 6:02
  OK, I hear you all out there. I hear you.
• 6:09
  You know, Jeff Gluck took a poll and he said like 88% of you
• 6:15
  hated Bristol. They just ain't wrecking like
• 6:18
  you want them to again. Oh my God, What do I say?
• 6:29
  For me as a race car driver, it was a good race because I'm a
• 6:34
  race car driver. Race car drivers don't judge
• 6:38
  races by wrecks. You know, I, I think one of the
• 6:46
  reasons it was such a bad race in your point of view is listen
• 6:51
  to this stat. Kyle Larson leads 404 hundred
• 7:01
  and something laps out of 500. That's enough to go.
• 7:05
  Damn. Kyle Larson peeled out like John
• 7:09
  Force. Kyle Larson peeled out like John
• 7:13
  Force and just dominated. Listen to this in the last two
• 7:17
  Cup races. Listen to this stat out of the
• 7:22
  last two Cup races at Bristol. Kyle Larson is like LED like 800
• 7:28
  and something laps out of 1000. That's that's enough to make a
• 7:34
  bad race at Bristol. So as far as 80 something
• 7:41
  percent of you not liking the racing at Bristol, I guess we'll
• 7:48
  have to figure it out. But you know, we was all worried
• 7:54
  about them damn tires and they could go forever.
• 7:58
  We was all worried about them towers they were wearing down to
• 8:02
  the cords and they just ended up going forever.
• 8:05
  But respond right here. I'm going to leave it up to you.
• 8:09
  I've already I've already said everything I could ever say
• 8:12
  about you know what? This I I just think it's silly.
• 8:18
  It it's like the Cardinals, my baseball Cardinals beat Philly
• 8:22
  yesterday, outrun them seven to nothing.
• 8:26
  Well, for us it's it was wonderful.
• 8:28
  We loved it. We like we like 7 to nothing in
• 8:32
  baseball. We like our Cardinals to wax
• 8:35
  their ass. Now in racing car racing, you
• 8:40
  don't like that and I get that. I understand that.
• 8:42
  So it's going to be up to you respond right here.
• 8:46
  What do you want them to do? What do you want?
• 8:49
  I tell you what, what do you want?
• 8:51
  Because you don't know. You don't know what you want
• 8:53
  them to do because you don't have enough knowledge.
• 8:56
  And that was not, that was not an insult.
• 8:58
  I'm just assuming you don't know what to tell Goodyear.
• 9:01
  You don't, you know this car is listen, we said earlier this
• 9:06
  year you're going to have some bad races.
• 9:08
  They all cannot be winners, OK? So we can't get rid of the car,
• 9:14
  OK? Because the car has been, the
• 9:17
  finishes have been through the roof.
• 9:20
  This was a bad race, is what you all say.
• 9:23
  I don't think it was a bad race because racers don't think like
• 9:26
  that. But you respond right here.
• 9:30
  What did you want to see at Bristol?
• 9:33
  Did you want more cautions? Did you want more wrecks?
• 9:37
  Respond right here. All right, everybody, Herman
• 9:42
  Schrader getting ready to tape it.
• 9:45
  Have a beautiful Monday.
