  This is a Kenny Schrader birthday celebration.
• 0:05
  Charlie Marlow. It is Kenny Schrader's 70th
• 0:10
  birthday. This is a big deal, my friend.
• 0:13
  Yes, it is. Now, do you think Schrader, is
• 0:15
  he going to appreciate us doing this video?
• 0:18
  Because I feel like he doesn't like to talk about his age.
• 0:21
  If you if you say, hey, somebody's an older racer, an
• 0:24
  older athlete, He always poo poos that.
• 0:26
  So are we allowed to celebrate 70 or what?
• 0:30
  We are going to celebrate it. And you're right, Kenny Schrader
• 0:34
  doesn't like to talk about age because he said, and I quote, I
• 0:39
  am going to race so long, the only time I will stop is when
• 0:42
  they cannot lift me in the race car.
• 0:46
  That's a pretty strong quote, don't you think, Charlie?
• 0:49
  I actually remember him saying that, but if you remember what
• 0:52
  he said after that, what? Else would.
• 0:54
  It do, yeah. I mean, I could.
• 0:56
  I can maybe see someday. No, I can't.
• 1:01
  I'm a race. I'm a race.
• 1:03
  I'm a race until I can't get in the car or it's no fun or my
• 1:12
  guys can't get me in the car. That's awesome, Charlie.
• 1:17
  That's a that's a sound bite. Wait a minute.
• 1:20
  I'll get some younger guys then because I'm going to get in the
• 1:24
  damn car. He said once they can't lift
• 1:27
  them in the car, he'll hire a crew.
• 1:29
  Bigger, stronger guys who can then lift them in the car.
• 1:33
  Well, with that, everybody, before we tell some Kenny
• 1:35
  Schrader stories, here we go. Happy birthday to you, Kenny
• 1:41

• 2:12
  Happy 70th birthday. It's your day.
• 2:15
  You tell everybody around you to go get you a beer or as.
• 2:19
  Hey, C1 of my funny things about Schrader is he would say Oh
• 2:24
  yeah, yeah, me and Jim. I'm like Jim who he would say me
• 2:30
  and Jim Beam. So I have a Jim Beam.
• 2:33
  Schrader. It's your day.
• 2:35
  Do you have any Kenny Schrader stories, Charlie?
• 2:37
  Something when we first started Herman Schrader or he would get
• 2:41
  on you, but he get frustrated trying to get on Herman Schrader
• 2:44
  sometimes, wouldn't he? Well, well, First off, I feel
• 2:47
  terrible. Here's why I'm a terrible
• 2:49
  producer on Herman Schrader. This week I was thinking of
• 2:52
  topics for jokes. And so here we are.
• 2:55
  It's actually May 28th as we record this.
• 2:58
  Today's my birthday. I'm 43.
• 3:00
  Nobody cares. By the way, if I would have
• 3:02
  looked this up, what? Hold on, are you kidding me?
• 3:07
  Listen to this. Happy birthday to Charlie
• 3:12
  Marlowe. Annie Wallace loves you.
• 3:16
  Thank you, Charlie. I will never forget the time
• 3:19
  that you called me and you said, Herman, let me start you a
• 3:23
  YouTube channel. And I said, Charlie, I'm too
• 3:26
  busy running this dirt car. This is all I want to do.
• 3:29
  You called me back. I said OK.
• 3:32
  And buddy, I owe you a lot. Thank you for giving me this
• 3:36
  life. We we've been out of the
• 3:38
  ballpark. Happy birthday my friend.
• 3:41
  Thank you, love you too, and I owe it all to you as well.
• 3:43
  And by the way, I wasn't trying to make that about my birthday,
• 3:46
  but it's funny because I was thinking of birthday jokes for
• 3:50
  Herman Schrader. If I would have looked up, I
• 3:53
  would have seen that Schrader's freaking 70th birthday was May
• 3:56
  29th, a much bigger deal. And then here I looked on
• 3:59
  Wikipedia today. I'm like, how did I forget that?
• 4:02
  But yeah, Schrader's great to to work with and it's always fun
• 4:08
  getting through all the technology, especially he's
• 4:11
  always on the road. I mean, he's in a different
• 4:14
  state or a different country. He was in Canada last week.
• 4:17
  He's in his motorhome. He's driving all over the
• 4:20
  freaking country and still doing the show.
• 4:23
  It's great. My friends tell me that my, my
• 4:26
  high end friends, you know, the, the, the big boys, they say,
• 4:30
  boy, Schrader, really no, Schrader's not going to admit
• 4:33
  this everybody, but I'm going to tell a little secret on Kenny
• 4:36
  Schrader. They say, Kenny Schrader says,
• 4:39
  hey, I got to do my, my podcast. I got to do my Herman Schrader
• 4:43
  show. They'll pull the truck over, get
• 4:45
  that Wi-Fi rolling. So we're we are having a good
• 4:49
  time on Herman Schrader. I got to say this about Kenny
• 4:53
  Schrader. He is definitely my other
• 4:56
  brother. We play off each other quite
• 5:00
  well and he is one of the greatest race car drivers of all
• 5:04
  time and all race car drivers respect him immensely.
• 5:09
  I'm talking Richard Petty, Kyle Larson, Tony Stewart, Dale
• 5:14
  Junior. Kenny Schrader is one of the
• 5:17
  most well respected race car drivers in our generation.
• 5:21
  He can go anywhere. And the greatest race car
• 5:26
  drivers of all time, I mean, Mario Andretti, they'll come
• 5:29
  right up the Schrader and start talking to him because Kenny
• 5:32
  Schrader is the epitome of race car driver and and that is the
• 5:39
  highest honor I can bestow on anybody.
• 5:42
  So happy 70th, Kenny Schrader and I know you're going to keep
• 5:47
  on racing buddy. Charlie, you want to close it
• 5:49
  out? Sure, what you said also the the
• 5:52
  fact, and this is from for, for both you guys.
• 5:55
  I mean, you guys inspire me. You know, I and I don't look at
• 5:58
  you guys as old. I I'd never say that around
• 6:00
  trader again because he doesn't like hearing that.
• 6:02
  But I mean here you are. What are you, 61, Trader, just
• 6:07
  turning 70 and you guys, to use the racing term, you're still
• 6:11
  digging, you're still racing, you're still doing all the media
• 6:15
  stuff, and it keeps you guys young.
• 6:18
  And so here I am, 43. But I think it's very inspiring
• 6:22
  that you guys are still kicking ass and still will probably for
• 6:26
  decades to come. Yes, we will celebrate Kenny
• 6:30
  Schrader. And by the way, he just won up
• 6:32
  in Moberly, MO. And if that doesn't tell you, I,
• 6:37
  if I know Schrader, he's looking forward to his first win at 70
• 6:40
  years old. So all right, Charlie, I think
• 6:44
  if we talk any more about him, he'll, he'll, he'll say stop it.
• 6:48
  Get off of there. But happy birthday to my dear
• 6:53
  brother and my partner in crime, Kenny Schrader.
• 6:56
  So happy birthday, Kenny Schrader.
• 7:00
  Happy birthday, Schrader.
