  Surprise happy Monday morning everybody from an incredible.
• 0:05
  This is Acropolis and that is the partheon.
• 0:09
  So Acropolis is what I'm going to show you.
• 0:12
  Let's do a 360. So that's the partheon.
• 0:17
  Acropolis is everything I'm showing you.
• 0:20
  We are in Athens, Greece. Look at that.
• 0:23
  That is Greece. They're packed in here like
• 0:26
  sardines. It's been wonderful.
• 0:28
  Look at this. So this is the entrance right
• 0:32
  here. It's hard to believe that they
• 0:35
  can save this stuff for thousands of years.
• 0:38
  And here's my dear friend John Skatoni.
• 0:41
  John, you know? Yeah.
• 0:43
  What do you got to say, John? It's pretty wild, ain't it?
• 0:46
  It is wild. We just travel the world by
• 0:48
  ourselves, don't we? We sure do.
• 0:51
  So John is the one that owns the SR22, the airplane, and we fly
• 0:55
  to all the trackside live races. He gets a hot pass, he goes in
• 0:59
  the garage and I do the show. So all right, everybody, cats
• 1:04
  are a big thing. Look here, there's a cat.
• 1:07
  It's the first cat we've seen. They treat cats like people
• 1:12
  here. Now, listen, I know a lot of you
• 1:13
  know all this, but hell, I'm here to show it.
• 1:17
  And there it all is. And cats are well fed here.
• 1:21
  They're like people, OK? I feel like the monologue should
• 1:26
  be the whole damn thing, but it's incredible.
• 1:30
  Look, I see the ocean out Yonder in the Chattahoochee Let's see,
• 1:34
  there's the ocean out there. Hey, you know what I should do,
• 1:39
  John? I'm going to walk over here and
• 1:40
  see if I can show them the, you know, the the Coliseum.
• 1:44
  OK, We are going to talk about the Goodyear for.
• 1:48
  Hey, switching subjects. Hang with me.
• 1:52
  I went to bed about 9:00 last night and the race got over.
• 1:55
  So we're 7 hours ahead of St. Louis, MO, 6 hours ahead of
• 2:00
  Darlington. The Goodyear 400 won by Tyra
• 2:04
  Reddick and did you know a little Larry Mcnugget here,
• 2:10
  Larry McReynolds? There's only been three people
• 2:13
  and that's Earnhardt, 3 people in the history of NASCAR to win
• 2:17
  the first four out of the six races.
• 2:21
  Awesome, Bill from Dawson Bill. Well, the thing of it is, is
• 2:25
  Ernie and Dan back at the shop? Did you know that Ernie Elliott
• 2:29
  built Bill Elliott's motors and Dan did all the transmission and
• 2:33
  rear ends? Bill Elliott and Dale Earnhardt
• 2:39
  senior the only two drivers and now three.
• 2:44
  Now, Tyler Reddick is the only the third driver in history to
• 2:50
  win the first four of the six races.
• 2:53
  I'm going over here trying to find.
• 2:54
  I don't think I'm going to be able to do it, but I want to
• 2:56
  show you how packed in here these homes are.
• 3:00
  This is Greece. Look at that.
• 3:02
  That's the city, man. Well, it's not really the city.
• 3:07
  Ain't that crazy. Look at the beep there.
• 3:16
  It's wild. I love this.
• 3:18
  You know, when I go back home, a lot of my race and friends,
• 3:21
  they're like, I don't like all that old.
• 3:23
  I'm like, well, I got hold on, watch this.
• 3:36
  Hey, everybody's doing it. What the hell, right?
• 3:40
  OK. Oh, look, some columns.
• 3:42
  How old do you think those babies are?
• 3:44
  I bet those are 3/4 every bit of 4000 years old.
• 3:49
  OK, I want to talk about that race.
• 3:52
  The Goodyear 400. Number one Tyler Radical won it.
• 3:55
  Did you see the trophy? It's old school trophy.
• 3:59
  I like that wooden, wooden type trophy for the Goodyear 400.
• 4:02
  Hell, might as well make the party on part of the backdrop,
• 4:05
  right? Brad Keselowski.
• 4:10
  Did you know since the last time he won, he's rattled off about
• 4:15
  6:00 second place finishes? I know Brad Kozlowski is a
• 4:20
  competitor and he's got to be getting pissed.
• 4:22
  He's probably so tired of running second.
• 4:24
  He's wanting to get RFK back to where they belong.
• 4:29
  As far as Tyler Reddick winning for the 1st 6, I think he's just
• 4:34
  on a roll. But I think it's good for the
• 4:36
  sport. I think that once again, all
• 4:38
  Michael, listen, I'm going to be consistent in my verbiage.
• 4:41
  I think all Michael Jordan's friends, all those incredibly
• 4:46
  famous athletes, they're telling their friends and This is why
• 4:50
  NASCAR is on a roll right now. I also want to give you my take
• 4:55
  on what I saw in the Goodyear 400.
• 4:59
  Mark the kid, Martin out of Batesville, AR.
• 5:02
  Did you see how good Mark was on TV?
• 5:05
  You know, there's an old saying when I started getting a lot of
• 5:09
  followers about 3 years ago, somebody said to me, Kenny
• 5:16
  Wallace, you found your voice. It's like, what does that mean?
• 5:20
  It means I really know what I'm saying.
• 5:21
  I feel like what I'm saying, I, I feel it and I'm just saying
• 5:25
  it. That's Mark the kid Martin out
• 5:27
  of Batesville, AR Mark has found his voice.
• 5:30
  And did you see when they interviewed Mark Martin on, on
• 5:34
  Fox and you know, Jamie McMurray said, why do you feel so strong
• 5:38
  to be so boisterous? He said, Mark Martin, I'm going
• 5:41
  to imitate Mark because I know that's what the fans want.
• 5:45
  They want a full point system. But this is the best.
• 5:49
  This is the best that, you know, NASCAR's done.
• 5:51
  They've met me, You know, Mike, Mark's in charge.
• 5:54
  And I got to tell you also for those that think, you know,
• 5:57
  maybe NASCAR's mad at Mark Martin.
• 6:02
  NASCAR seems to be joining Mark Martin because they know he has
• 6:06
  the fan base. Everybody loves Mark Martin.
• 6:09
  So Mark Martin, you know, was basically the man in charge of
• 6:15
  this throwback weekend. And and I want to remind
• 6:17
  everybody of this. This was the Goodyear 400 in
• 6:21
  September will be the Southern 500.
• 6:24
  You know, there was a while I was like, oh, Southern 500.
• 6:27
  No, that was the Goodyear 400. But I like this.
• 6:32
  Every single car is not a throwback car.
• 6:36
  But did you see what they did? They brought in US the alumni.
• 6:40
  So Amber Wells, you know, they gave me my hard card.
• 6:44
  They gave me my alumni hat. She says, Kenny, are you going
• 6:47
  to be at Darlington? I said, my God, I'm going to
• 6:49
  Athens, Greece. Here I am at the Partheon.
• 6:51
  Here I am in Greece. So my point is this.
• 6:56
  Maybe, maybe not every car is a throwback, but all the drivers
• 7:04
  are there and this lady's smiling.
• 7:05
  Let me look here. They're watching me do my show.
• 7:08
  Say, wait, wait, she's got a baby underneath there.
• 7:12
  Hey, you don't get daddy. I'm never shy.
• 7:15
  I just keep their show rolling. When people are looking at me,
• 7:17
  stop and think about it. When I did NASCAR on Fox, I had
• 7:20
  5000 people and like, are you all ready to go?
• 7:23
  Like I'm telling the fans, we got to go.
• 7:26
  NASCAR race day Fueled by Sunoco starts right now.
• 7:32
  All right, everybody, we'll keep it right there at 8 minutes.
• 7:34
  I hope you enjoyed this unbelievable coffee with Kenny.
• 7:37
  Monday morning here in Athens, Greece, Acropolis, the Partheon,
• 7:42
  and this is just day one. We're going to go to Delphi.
• 7:46
  We are going to, what island are we going to go to?
• 7:48
  We're going to go to Delphi. We are here for 12.
• 7:52
  Not here, but we're in Europe for 12 days and we're going to
• 7:56
  go from here. Thursday evening.
• 7:58
  We're going into Sicily, then we're going to go into Rome.
• 8:01
  We're going to get a car. We're going to go to Florence,
• 8:04
  then we're going to end up up there at up at the legendary Rd.
• 8:08
  course Nurburgring. All right, everybody respond
• 8:12
  right here. I think Darlington was a hell of
• 8:15
  a situation. Listen, I think that the vibe at
• 8:17
  Darlington was better than the race, but it was a great race.
