Here's A Very Important Reminder | Coffee With Kenny · Kenny Wallace Media

• 0:00
  Happy Sunday morning, everybody. I got this song that I just
• 0:07
  can't get out of my head. It's an oldie but goodie.
• 0:11
  I got a man with a slow hand. I got a lover with an easy
• 0:19
  touch. I don't even know if those are
• 0:21
  the right words or not, but I think I heard it.
• 0:25
  Coming home from the awards ceremony last night is about a
• 0:30
  right at a right at a 2 hour drive up to Springfield, IL.
• 0:35
  I got out of there a little after 10.
• 0:37
  Come on home. Kim's laid in the bed.
• 0:40
  I opened the bedroom door and I said I got to love her with a
• 0:44
  slow hand. She looked at me and she says
• 0:48
  you are so sexy. I said come on.
• 0:52
  And then I said, all right, I got that little tick out.
• 1:01
  That was a tick I had. So I was born like that.
• 1:06
  I was diagnosed hyperactive attention deficit disorder.
• 1:11
  They tried to put me on Ritalin. It worked.
• 1:14
  And then my mother took me off of it.
• 1:17
  So blame my mom for the reason the way I am a tick.
• 1:23
  A tick means you just got to get it out.
• 1:27
  Look at my eyes. You know, I can see myself in
• 1:31
  this phone. You know, when you do videos.
• 1:36
  OK, Seems like I do this one time a year.
• 1:44
  And it's the old Rusty Wallace thing.
• 1:47
  And friends and great race car drivers have come up to me.
• 1:52
  They come up to me, they go like Brother Rusty says, you got to
• 1:56
  remind people because they remember what they want to,
• 2:01
  people remember what they want to.
• 2:05
  So here is our yearly reminder, everybody.
• 2:09
  So yesterday, you know, on Facebook where you go to the,
• 2:17
  you know, those little signals and you push on them and it's a
• 2:20
  shortcut to see what people are saying to you.
• 2:23
  So I pushed this in this guy as Ted, Ted Bourne, somebody like
• 2:29
  that. And it was, it was on the, it
• 2:32
  was on the comment section of what I thought about the Tulsa
• 2:37
  shootout. So if you want to see it, go to
• 2:40
  the Kenny Wallace. First of all, let me say this.
• 2:43
  The Kenny Wallace official page has 430,000 people.
• 2:50
  OK, my little private page, I don't know what it's got, you
• 2:53
  know, it's still, it's big. But the Kenny Wallace official
• 2:57
  page, that's the one that Facebook wants you to have.
• 3:00
  For like a lot of people, that was a deal that started when,
• 3:04
  when Facebook first started. They said, remember when
• 3:07
  Facebook first started, you don't get no more than 5000
• 3:10
  people. But if, if you're an athlete and
• 3:13
  you're somebody, we can start this other page or whatever.
• 3:17
  So years ago when I didn't know anything about it, this man
• 3:21
  started Facebook for me. Dale Johnson.
• 3:27
  I don't know where Dale's at in a million years, but he's up
• 3:30
  there around loud New Hampshire. Hi Dale, if you see this, but
• 3:35
  Dale Johnson, years ago, 100 years ago, he started my
• 3:39
  Facebook pages for me. And I'm like, why do I have two
• 3:42
  Facebook pages? He goes, well this first one I
• 3:45
  only lied to have 5000 people. Second one is where you can get
• 3:48
  it on. So that second one, that Kenny
• 3:51
  Wallace official page, I got 430,000 followers.
• 3:58
  Those are strong numbers. I don't care who you are, those
• 4:01
  are those are like holy crap. So regardless, it's a lot of
• 4:06
  people to follow one page. Now we can debate this and that
• 4:10
  about anything, but still there's 430,000 people to follow
• 4:14
  that page. So anyway, this man gets on
• 4:18
  there. And once again, it was during
• 4:21
  that coffee with Kenny where I gave my opinion on the mom and
• 4:25
  dads that, you know, get upset because their kid doesn't get on
• 4:28
  TV. It was the Tulsa shootout.
• 4:31
  And he just gets on there and he's like, you know, basically
• 4:37
  get to the point. He says, you know, you take so
• 4:40
  long, you tell all these stories.
• 4:41
  It's like the life of Kenny Wallace.
• 4:44
  Get to the point so I take a deep breath, I take a sip of my
• 4:52
  coffee and I write this man a little love letter right here on
• 4:58
  Facebook for you all to see it's in the comment section.
• 5:04
  So when I wrote the little love letter in the comment section, I
• 5:07
  thought, you know what I really would like to get this off my
• 5:11
  chest. So I'll, I'll make it as a post
• 5:15
  too. So I'm right, dear Ted, I know
• 5:20
  we both are a lot alike. I'm hyper too, and most likely
• 5:24
  you like to do things fast, except me.
• 5:26
  I don't Make Love fast. Ask my wife.
• 5:29
  I'm real slow. That was that was another tick
• 5:34
  had to get that out because I know you, I know you people.
• 5:38
  If if I say I like to do things fast, I know right where your
• 5:41
  head goes to You're like, oh, but I bet he makes love fast.
• 5:45
  Oh, no, no, because I I probably could, but I make sure I don't.
• 5:56
  So anyway, I said, dear Ted, I am not a journalist.
• 6:04
  This I was kind of speechless. I'm like, this guy thinks this
• 6:11
  guy thinks I'm Bob Progress. This guy thinks I am Matt
• 6:15
  Weaver. This this guy thinks that I'm
• 6:18
  like a journalist. So I anyway, I put that up
• 6:24
  everywhere and I get it off my chest.
• 6:26
  Well, my family, they're the type of family where if I catch
• 6:32
  Kim watching my videos, she turns them down right away.
• 6:38
  But it's it's the funniest damn phenomenon if my wife catches
• 6:44
  and my and when, when I used when I used to have people
• 6:47
  helping me. You all know who you are.
• 6:50
  It could have been Austin. Austin it I don't think you made
• 6:54
  it this long worth 7 minutes. Austin can't.
• 6:56
  Austin can't go 7 minutes. He's he's a 2 minute guy.
• 6:59
  Austin told me if you can't say it in 2 minutes, I can't listen.
• 7:05
  Austin is the type of guy where he would be watching my videos,
• 7:09
  but he would turn him down and put him on his earbuds.
• 7:11
  People don't like me to see them watching my videos.
• 7:16
  I'm like just I want to say to my wife, I was like Kim, you can
• 7:19
  watch my videos just gathering with the other 100,000 that
• 7:23
  watch them. So anyway, just another reminder
• 7:29
  everybody, I'm not a journalist. And, and this morning I thought
• 7:34
  what what word should I use? Because I know, I know Charlie
• 7:39
  will beat this out if he wants to, but but I don't care.
• 7:42
  Beat beat me out. Charlie.
• 7:43
  I'm going to tell you what coffee with Kenny is, and I'm
• 7:47
  going to tell you what most of my stuff is.
• 7:50
  It's bull, OK? Basically everything I do is one
• 7:58
  big bull session. I'm a racer.
• 8:02
  I'm truly a racer. That's what I deem myself.
• 8:05
  Now, you might think I'm some type of news guy.
• 8:09
  No, no, no, no, Bob Pacrass and Matt Weaver.
• 8:13
  And what I do is I read, I read the news like you do.
• 8:18
  And then I just respond and I've I've told everybody that 100
• 8:22
  times. So if you want to continue to
• 8:27
  with me, this is the number one place.
• 8:29
  And I even said that to that guy.
• 8:31
  I'm like, look, the views we get on coffee with Kenny are
• 8:35
  humbling and I'm very thankful to all of you and I and I truly
• 8:38
  love you all. I really do.
• 8:42
  Like I told you in the past, my mom would say, Kenny Ken Hun,
• 8:48
  mom, I love you too. I don't think you made it this
• 8:50
  far either. But do do you know on most
• 8:54
  everything that's put on YouTube, even Mitchell
• 8:57
  Stapleton, Mitchell Stapleman, he'll get to like 20 minutes.
• 9:00
  He'll say, well, if you've made it this far, because see, on our
• 9:04
  analytics, we can see how long people watch.
• 9:08
  If I do a one hour YouTube special and it's really good,
• 9:13
  like, holy shit, this is really good.
• 9:16
  If people watch 30 minutes, that's unbelievable.
• 9:20
  Then they usually come back and we know that.
• 9:24
  We know that. So anyway, coffee with Kenny is
• 9:29
  a big bullshit session about the news of the day.
• 9:33
  So that is a reminder to what this is.
• 9:37
  This is not this is where I tell you like, well, yesterday I read
• 9:42
  that, you know, Helio Castroneves gets to start the
• 9:48
  Daytona 500. Doesn't even have to qualify
• 9:51
  because NASCAR is deemed that if you are a world class racer like
• 9:56
  Helio Castroneves, you know, Helios won four Indy 5 hundreds
• 10:01
  and he's won 3 Daytona 24 hour races.
• 10:05
  NASCAR come up with a new rule because there's no testing.
• 10:09
  You can't get ready to qualify for the Daytona 500.
• 10:13
  So NASCAR is now saying here's a new rule.
• 10:16
  If you somebody, if you somebody and we go, OK, you are a world
• 10:23
  class racer, you automatically are in the Daytona 500.
• 10:27
  Now we want you to qualify, but if you need a provisional,
• 10:31
  you're in it. So I gave that news and and then
• 10:35
  I said let's talk about it and I told stories about why I do
• 10:39
  agree with it. So by the time I tell you what
• 10:43
  the news is and then I gave you a couple stories, it's going to
• 10:47
  be 8 or 10 minutes long. That that's the way it is.
• 10:52
  Now Kim and I can sit in my bed and watch TMZ at night for 30
• 10:56
  straight minutes. And we love it.
• 10:58
  When it's over. It's like, oh, it's over.
• 11:00
  It's over, darn it. So I hope this is your yearly
• 11:07
  reminder. This is one big bull session.
• 11:12
  And I do this because it's fun. It's just fun.
• 11:17
  So I love you all. So this is your reminder.
• 11:20
  This is your reminder. I just bull about today's news.
• 11:28
  I tell you what's up, then I give you my opinion.
• 11:32
  All this started with me. I go down to the Mobil 1 gas
• 11:37
  station and and this guy goes Kenny Wallace.
• 11:41
  Hey, man, what did you think about Bubba Wallace and Kyle
• 11:44
  Larson fighting? Well, before you know what, I'm
• 11:47
  sitting there talking with the guy 10 damn minutes.
• 11:50
  Because I say something, he goes, well, then what about
• 11:52
  that? He starts asking me questions.
• 11:57
  So that's it. All right.
• 12:00
  Now this is 12 minutes long. I, I, I remember you'd go to a
• 12:04
  restaurant and they'd go be 10 minutes.
• 12:06
  And you're like, oh man, that's good.
• 12:08
  All right. Now if you go, hey, this is 30
• 12:11
  minutes. I'm like, I'm going to a
• 12:12
  different restaurant, but my whole life if you went to a
• 12:17
  restaurant, it was packed. They go be a 10 minute wait.
• 12:20
  Well, hell, you run out and tell your family it's only going to
• 12:22
  be 10 minutes. Get out of the car.
• 12:25
  That tells you how much society has changed.
• 12:27
  Now this one's going to be a little longer than 10 minutes,
• 12:32
  10 minutes. I don't think I could.
• 12:36
  If it's really good like my stuff is, people watch my stuff
• 12:40
  all the way in entirety because good.
• 12:47
  I love you all. Have a great Sunday.
• 12:50
  I'm headed down to the Convention Center at the Dome.
• 12:53
  So the Convention Center to the Dome are hooked together.
• 12:57
  It's the Saint Louis auto show. I'm going to be down there at
• 12:59
  the worldwide technology booth for the Highland Speedway.
• 13:05
  I'll be there from 12 to one on this Sunday.
• 13:08
  See y'all later. Have a great Sunday.
