Saturday Was One of The Greatest Days of My Life Thanks To You All | Coffee With Kenny · Kenny Wallace Media

• 0:02
  Happy Sunday morning everybody. I am smiling, man, oh man.
• 0:09
  Saturday. Yesterday was incredible.
• 0:13
  I turned 62 years young. We had a garage sale.
• 0:20
  We won last night with the Sunoco Dirt car down at Pevely.
• 0:26
  It was a hell of a race and the NASCAR Cup Series had one hell
• 0:33
  of a race. So much to talk about.
• 0:37
  So let's get right to it, right? Get a little scratch out here,
• 0:45
  OK? I am 62 years young.
• 0:50
  I told a lot of my friends. I said, you know, birthdays
• 0:54
  really don't matter to me. But for some reason, this one,
• 0:58
  I'm paying attention. And the reason I'm paying
• 1:01
  attention is because I know 62 is a big deal because our
• 1:09
  federal government says, OK, you're 62, that means you're old
• 1:14
  and you're retired, and now we'll start giving you your
• 1:18
  Social Security money. Man, ever since I've been a kid,
• 1:23
  I've worked. And when I get my paycheck, you
• 1:26
  pay in, you pay into the federal government, you, you save your
• 1:30
  money. And now I'm so old, I'm 62 years
• 1:35
  young. And now it's time for me to
• 1:37
  collect my money. Wow, never thought this day
• 1:42
  would come. However, with great advice from
• 1:47
  my CPA, my accountant, my life coach, Ashok Chug, Gar, and of
• 1:54
  course my investor, we sat down last year and we circled 67
• 2:01
  years old. That's that's the age that I'm
• 2:06
  going to take start taking my Social Security and I'm thrilled
• 2:13
  to death to do so. I understand that I start taking
• 2:17
  Medicaid at 65. I know we have to.
• 2:20
  So I'll make sure I'm not late on that.
• 2:22
  I will get that a Medicare, Medicare, Medicaid means you
• 2:28
  need aid. So one thing I learned Medicare,
• 2:32
  Medicaid. So we'll take Medicare at at 65.
• 2:38
  All right, enough of that. The reason I address that is
• 2:43
  because I had some people on X going, I was wondering when you
• 2:46
  were going to start taking your, your Social Security.
• 2:49
  So I'll take it at 67. OK, how about how about
• 2:55
  yesterday? I mean, the garage sale?
• 2:59
  How did how did this all start? Well, we've got a hallway closet
• 3:07
  right here. Hell, hell.
• 3:09
  Let me just show it to you. This is the way it started.
• 3:13
  Hold on here. We're going to get over here to
• 3:16
  it. I'll turn the light on.
• 3:20
  Looky. There.
• 3:22
  That's me. And that's Kim.
• 3:24
  I love that. OK, so got the hallway clothes.
• 3:29
  I was getting ready to vacuum and I, I went in there to get
• 3:33
  the vacuum cleaner and couldn't, couldn't get the vacuum cleaner
• 3:42
  out of that hole. Now, right now, I don't know
• 3:44
  where the vacuum cleaners at, but I couldn't get the vacuum
• 3:50
  cleaner out because it was full of puzzles.
• 3:55
  Like I said the other day, like 60 puzzles.
• 3:58
  And I said OK, and there and and this is the way our I mean, does
• 4:02
  your dining room table. This is the way our dining room
• 4:04
  table looks all the time, all the time.
• 4:09
  You couldn't eat food on that stomach if you tried.
• 4:11
  Look at that. It's always like this and it's
• 4:18
  always Kim, the love of my life. Kim goes, don't mess with my
• 4:25
  stuff. I know right where it's at.
• 4:27
  I'm like, I'm sure you do. It's one hell of a disaster.
• 4:31
  So then Kim, all of a sudden Kim said that she couldn't walk
• 4:37
  downstairs 'cause there's so much all over the floor.
• 4:43
  So between me not being able to get the vacuum cleaner out of
• 4:47
  the closet 'cause there was 60 puzzles there and I counted them
• 4:52
  because I put them in bags and then put them over there to be
• 4:56
  done with. And then Kim couldn't walk
• 4:58
  downstairs because she had everywhere in her wreath
• 5:02
  factory. She said, you know what, I think
• 5:06
  we're going to have a garage sale.
• 5:08
  I said the greatest ideal ever. But before that I got her mother
• 5:12
  and and Kim together and I said team meeting.
• 5:16
  I say we are very clean people. Everything's clean.
• 5:20
  And her mother goes, but we're cluttered.
• 5:22
  I said, Dee, I said, but we don't have room anymore.
• 5:27
  So the garage sale yesterday, listen, thank you from the
• 5:31
  bottom of my heart. I mean, it was unbelievable.
• 5:36
  It was a little scary. Although I did call the
• 5:40
  Jefferson County Sheriff. He sent 2 wonderful police
• 5:44
  officers out here. Let's put it this way.
• 5:46
  At 7:30, my daughter Brandy wakes me up.
• 5:51
  She goes, Dad, we got no more room.
• 5:53
  You're going to have to get up. These people are waiting on you.
• 5:57
  And I'm like, it's a garage sale.
• 5:59
  Bye. But it turned into the fan club
• 6:04
  party. I don't it just, you know, we
• 6:06
  used, we used to have a fan club and it turned into a wonderful
• 6:10
  fan club. So I got up.
• 6:12
  I was up there about 7:45 and people were parked around the
• 6:18
  swimming pool, backed up around our house.
• 6:21
  So last night they said, you know, we had to put people
• 6:25
  somewhere. They had to open up the gates at
• 6:28
  7:00 or no, like 630 people were out on the road.
• 6:33
  I think you get the idea. It was an incredible garage
• 6:36
  sale. We probably had 400 pieces of
• 6:39
  die cast. All the die cast sold because to
• 6:43
  my surprise, Kim collected the rarest of die cast.
• 6:47
  I mean, high end stuff. It, it wasn't just Bobo die
• 6:51
  cast. I mean, this was the good stuff
• 6:54
  because they would give it to us.
• 6:56
  They'd make, you know, a die cast of mine.
• 6:59
  And then they would give us die cast of a as a thank you still,
• 7:03
  still in the plastic wrapper in the box.
• 7:07
  So we sold all the die cast. We sold a lot of helmets, lot of
• 7:13
  fire suits that was and that was deemed Kenny's corner.
• 7:17
  So, oh, by the way, breaking news, Kim did keep helmet and
• 7:24
  driver fire suit combination. So she's going to start up a
• 7:30
  bidding process. You all have been asking for it
• 7:32
  all over the United States. I see what you're saying.
• 7:36
  So Kim is going to start that. She says, she says she's got an
• 7:39
  handle. But I saw some good combinations
• 7:41
  up there, so stay tuned for the bidding process on that.
• 7:46
  She did put stuff aside, OK. The stuff we did not sell, it
• 7:51
  went to a really nice church over in Fenton.
• 7:56
  And I told him, I said there's nothing coming back.
• 8:00
  Oh, Louis, Louis, the legend, he said.
• 8:05
  He said you started the show without me.
• 8:12
  By the way, this is the second coffee cup, the original coffee
• 8:16
  cup. Some man drove me bat crazy.
• 8:20
  Please let me buy your coffee cup.
• 8:22
  I said it's a cup. It's the people that take care
• 8:26
  of our swimming pool and our hot tub.
• 8:29
  It's a plain cup. And I put a Sunoco decal on it.
• 8:31
  He goes, damn. So he gave me $22.00 for it.
• 8:34
  That's what he offered me. I said, what do you offer me
• 8:36
  for? And then I signed it.
• 8:40
  OK, once again, thank you so much from the bottom of my
• 8:46
  heart. I am blessed.
• 8:48
  But it was a little scary just because the people I got up in
• 8:53
  my underwear looked out the window.
• 8:54
  I'm like, Then I came in the kitchen.
• 8:57
  All the windows were open, all the blinds were open, so fans
• 9:00
  could have looked right in the kitchen as I got my start
• 9:03
  preparing my day's whole wheat toast.
• 9:07
  My day's 4% whole wheat toast. OK, we won last night.
• 9:16
  It was a hell of a race. I want to be clear that there is
• 9:21
  no such thing. Somebody said somebody put 3
• 9:25
  checkered flags and they put cherries.
• 9:28
  That means that that I'm so good that I cherry picked, that my
• 9:32
  competition's weak. Let me say something about that
• 9:36
  comment that is not showing any respect to the people I race.
• 9:43
  They are the best. They are.
• 9:45
  I put, I put our locals up. I would put our, if people came
• 9:50
  to our racetrack are any of our local trade race tracks, whether
• 9:54
  it's Tri-City Speedway and Granite Highland Peely, I would
• 9:59
  put our locals up against them. You got guys like, you know,
• 10:06
  Rick Canoyer, Steve Picu, Ryan Hamilton, hell, there was a guy
• 10:13
  last night, variant, I think that's his name #17 he was, you
• 10:18
  know, all year long. He's good race.
• 10:20
  But man, he was fast last night. I started 2nd row outside and I
• 10:25
  had to pass him on the outside for the lead and I, I had to
• 10:28
  peddle that son of a bitch. So it was a good win.
• 10:31
  And reminder, Taylor, Hertz senior, he would say, Herman,
• 10:37
  there's thousands of race car drivers all over the United
• 10:40
  States that are great and not all of them can be NASCAR.
• 10:46
  So once again, I know I've said it.
• 10:48
  When I line up, get ready to race, those thousands of rape
• 10:51
  great race car drivers that Earnhardt's talking about, he's
• 10:55
  here. Damn, I took up 11 minutes,
• 10:58
  everybody. All I'm going to do, I'll make
• 11:03
  it short and sweet and we'll talk about it more tomorrow.
• 11:08
  Not sure why, not sure why, but Ryan Blaney on lap 158 to lap
• 11:19
  160. In two laps, Ryan Blaney picked
• 11:24
  up 13 positions to win. What a race, the pitchers out
• 11:30
  there. Four wide at the finish line, 3
• 11:33
  wide behind them. My friends, if you're not
• 11:38
  entertained by that, I, I don't know what to say.
• 11:42
  What a race. And we'll get more on to that
• 11:44
  later. But also, how about Parker
• 11:47
  Kligerman? Parker Kligerman fills in for
• 11:52
  Connor Zilich and when wins the Xfinity race, his first real
• 11:59
  Xfinity win. Now, Parker won this race last
• 12:02
  year, but they deemed him illegal, Said his car was too
• 12:05
  low. But what a win for Parker
• 12:09
  Clickerman. I've always said, Parker, you're
• 12:12
  too good of a driver. Why are you doing TV?
• 12:16
  It just comes down to money. You got to have sponsorship.
• 12:19
  So here's a guy that wins but but is doing TV because he can't
• 12:25
  find money to give to the team. So congratulations, Parker
• 12:29
  Clickerman. I know that had to feel good.
• 12:32
  Still weird for me to see you on TV knowing you're a winning,
• 12:36
  knowing all along that you're a winner.
• 12:38
  And finally you got the got the real win.
• 12:42
  Connor Zilich was really appreciative.
• 12:44
  I was really impressed by Connor.
• 12:46
  I believe Connor Zilich was really happy for Parker.
• 12:53
  And by the way, on Sunday, track house team Track house made it
• 12:57
  official. They have, they have, they have
• 13:00
  hired Connor Zilich to replace Daniel Suarez next year in the
• 13:05
  cup series. All right, everybody, this is a
• 13:08
  long one, but there was a lot happening.
• 13:11
  I'll see you all, Quincy. We're going to give it another
• 13:13
  try. We're going to give it another
• 13:15
  try. It's cold outside.
• 13:19
  Finally, finally, though, the death heat and that high
• 13:24
  humidity have broke. See you in Quincy, IL tonight.
• 13:28
  And here's why tonight is finally my 30th points night.
• 13:36
  And that's the key #30 points races.
• 13:38
  So I'm going to go get my 30th points race.
• 13:42
  They take your 30 best finishes of the year.
• 13:47
  With all the rain outs and all the cancellations for heat.
• 13:51
  Hell, I could hardly get the 30 races this year.
• 13:54
  Two years ago, I ran 68. All right, everybody, listen.
• 14:00
  Thanks. Thanks so much.
• 14:02
  And all of you have a a great Sunday.
