We Had a Deadly Tornado in St. Louis & Thoughts on The Indy 500 | Coffee With Kenny · Kenny Wallace Media

• 0:04
  Saturday morning everybody happy Saturday morning man, you talk
• 0:09
  about a a beautiful day Oh my gosh, look at this not a cloud
• 0:17
  in the sky. So yesterday, on Friday,
• 0:22
  remember yesterday we we talked about dirt racing and I said
• 0:29
  they were announcing Armageddon in Saint Louis.
• 0:33
  And it was hot, it was muggy. And I'm looking down here, I'm
• 0:40
  at the front of the house and I'm looking, I see something
• 0:44
  down there over here. I don't know what it is.
• 0:49
  But anyway, listen to this. Remember I told you yesterday
• 0:53
  they were announcing Armageddon here and I was kind of acting
• 0:57
  silly. I said, you know how it goes.
• 0:59
  It starts out a beautiful sunny day, then a tornado comes.
• 1:05
  What? Damn.
• 1:08
  I didn't mean for it to happen and I didn't wish for it, but
• 1:12
  that's exactly what happened. We are World News right now.
• 1:17
  Holy moly. I, I feel so bad.
• 1:20
  I think 4, three to five people dead in the city of Saint Louis,
• 1:25
  right outside the city. You got the arch in about 5
• 1:31
  miles away you got, you got our park, Forest Park, Forest Park,
• 1:39
  where I think it was one of the very first world's Fair.
• 1:43
  But anyway, a tornado broke out right there.
• 1:46
  I mean it, it showed it. And what was wild is it formed
• 1:51
  maybe a couple miles right before that.
• 1:54
  So in other words, we had this crazy wind just everywhere.
• 1:57
  It was wild and, and right here the the wind and the, and the
• 2:03
  tornado blew, blew through like John Force.
• 2:06
  It was in and out like in 10 minutes, but it was forming
• 2:11
  right here. And then it got about 5 miles
• 2:14
  down and became a tornado and kind of went through the north
• 2:19
  side of Saint Louis and tore up a lot of stuff that killed some
• 2:23
  people. They got video of it.
• 2:27
  You can see some pictures the, the, the Gateway Arch, the arch,
• 2:32
  you know, has automatic pictures up in there.
• 2:34
  So the arch shows it because it came through around I'd say 3:00
• 2:40
  in the day. So anyway, my prayers to the
• 2:43
  people that died in the tornado here in Saint Louis, pretty much
• 2:48
  the city kind of remind me of that Nashville deal years ago
• 2:52
  where I think, you know, tornado is that something tornado pops
• 2:57
  up right in the most populated area.
• 3:00
  You see so many times these tornadoes pop up in the middle
• 3:02
  of a field, but this one popped up just like that one in
• 3:06
  Nashville did right in the middle of the damn city.
• 3:09
  You know, and those those homes are brick and they're old.
• 3:13
  It don't take much and sure enough, it, it, it was a sad
• 3:17
  deal. So my prayers to everybody in
• 3:19
  the city of Saint Louis. We had a curfew last night
• 3:22
  because, you know, you got some bad people, you got some bad
• 3:26
  people. They, they try that looting and
• 3:29
  stuff. Just gangsters mean people don't
• 3:32
  care about other people, you know, just start stealing
• 3:36
  everybody's stuff. So they impose their curfew, I
• 3:38
  guess around 10/10/30 last night.
• 3:42
  All right. As reported by Bob Pawcras, Bob
• 3:47
  Pawcras interviewed the captain. We are switching subjects right
• 3:55
  now. We are switching subjects right
• 3:59
  now. Bob Pawcras is, you know, has
• 4:04
  been double reporting. He reports on NASCAR and Fox TV
• 4:09
  has him over there for the Indy Carter series.
• 4:13
  Well, we got, you know, the big week coming up, the Indy 500,
• 4:17
  the Coke 600. By the way, Kyle Larson keeps
• 4:20
  wrecking everybody for the Indy 500.
• 4:24
  They're saying that these cars are handling horrible.
• 4:29
  Was it Santino Ferrucci? Santino Ferrucci, AJ Ford's
• 4:34
  driver says his car handles horrible, scared to death, can
• 4:38
  only look right in front of him. Can't even can't even
• 4:40
  concentrate on racing. He's busy wrecking it, but he
• 4:45
  hasn't wrecked yet. But you got some some people
• 4:50
  that are just giving up. And I guess it's weird these
• 4:53
  these engineers and and Andy, they, they design A car like I
• 4:58
  heard this in Formula One and it's what's going on with the
• 5:02
  Indy 500. Some of these engineers go,
• 5:04
  we're going to design a new car and then they take it out there
• 5:08
  and it's horrible. Can't even drive it.
• 5:11
  That's what's going on at the Indy 500 right now.
• 5:14
  Some of these guys can't even drive their car.
• 5:16
  As reported by Bob Pockras. I guess Kyle Arson's car is a
• 5:21
  new design and more difficult to drive.
• 5:25
  Well, Kyle, Arson, he reminds me of Jeff Gordon.
• 5:29
  You know, we, you know, there's this story about the Brickyard
• 5:33
  400 for NASCAR that all the Hendrick drivers got in this new
• 5:37
  design stock car and they said, Oh my God, this thing's
• 5:41
  horrible. Jeff Gordon got it and he goes,
• 5:44
  it's OK. And the other drivers like, what
• 5:47
  the hell? So this reminds me of Kyle
• 5:52
  Larson right now. Every all the other IndyCar
• 5:55
  drivers are like, Oh my God, now you got some that didn't change
• 5:59
  and they're hauling ass doing good.
• 6:02
  I think willpower was quick yesterday, like 232 Mile High.
• 6:07
  Like was it pay? What the hell?
• 6:11
  It's a damn Turkey over there, like a wild Turkey.
• 6:14
  You see it? I'll be damn.
• 6:19
  I've never seen a wild Turkey here.
• 6:20
  That's wild, a wild Turkey that's wild.
• 6:27
  He doing this. But anyway, I think pay Lou.
• 6:32
  He's the hero. Just bringing you guys up to
• 6:35
  speed. Willpower was quick.
• 6:37
  I believe Palu he's a new hero. He he was like second quick or
• 6:43
  so, but Kyle Larson keeps wrecking.
• 6:47
  He's wrecked twice. I don't know what's going to
• 6:51
  happen there. I I don't know if he's going to
• 6:54
  be able to keep it underneath him.
• 6:55
  He was just going through turn 3 and it just swapped ends on his
• 6:59
  fun out. Chances are he's going to wreck
• 7:03
  again. I hate, I hate to say it.
• 7:05
  I don't want it to happen. I don't want it to happen.
• 7:09
  Respond right here. Do you think Kyle Larson's going
• 7:12
  to wreck again? He's wrecked twice.
• 7:14
  The big story at India's. Some of these new design cars
• 7:18
  are undrivable and they're just they're just racing them.
• 7:21
  So it's going to be a wild Indy 500.
• 7:25
  All right. As reported by Bob Progress,
• 7:31
  231,000 people sold out. Sold out means there's no more
• 7:37
  seats left. I saw some silly stuff going on
• 7:40
  actually yesterday. Here's what a sell out means.
• 7:43
  Well, here's what I know. There's no more seats left at
• 7:47
  the Indy 500. There's no more tickets left.
• 7:50
  They sold 231,000 seats now. That's what Rodger Penske said.
• 7:57
  Rodger Penske said that 231 seats sold out and like another
• 8:03
  91,000 sold out in the middle of the infield, like another Super
• 8:09
  Bowl, for a total of like 320,000 people.
• 8:16
  Say that to yourself. Say that there's 320,000 people
• 8:23
  here. That's batch crazy, 320,000
• 8:31
  people, somebody said. I remember when there used to be
• 8:35
  450,000. Maybe what they do take
• 8:40
  grandstands away. Is that what they did respond
• 8:43
  right here, 320,000 people. Where are they going to park?
• 8:52
  We know they park in people's backyards.
• 8:55
  We know they park all over. Still unbelievable.
• 9:00
  All right, everybody, it's it's Saturday.
• 9:02
  We're racing tonight at Federated Auto Parts Raceway
• 9:05
  Park right here in the Peevely, Missouri.
• 9:10
  I decided not even to race yesterday.
• 9:13
  Glad I didn't because the track that I was going to go to races
• 9:18
  didn't get over till like midnight and the track was
• 9:22
  rubbed up one lane. They dropped just, hey, I'm not,
• 9:26
  I'm not breaking my arm. I am not patting myself on the
• 9:29
  back when the when my division came on the racetrack last night
• 9:34
  at that track I told you about, it was rubbed up right around
• 9:38
  the bottom just like I said it would.
• 9:40
  So it's a good thing I didn't even go up and that the race
• 9:45
  didn't get over till midnight. So I had to be tired.
• 9:48
  My be wore and I'd have been home at 4:00 in the morning
• 9:51
  because you had to stop and get gas and I had to get something
• 9:54
  to eat. So I'd have left out of there
• 9:56
  about 12:12. Thirty 12/31/30 2:30 I got home
• 10:00
  330. Now I'm fresh and ready to go to
• 10:03
  Pevely tonight. All right, everybody have a
• 10:07
  great Saturday.
