  Happy Friday morning, everybody. The remnants of the hurricane
• 0:08
  have hit Saint Louis. It's raining here, going to rain
• 0:11
  all day. My daughter Brittany, I feel so
• 0:15
  bad for her. Brittany's, what, 34 years old?
• 0:19
  And Brittany and all of her high school friends have babies now
• 0:24
  and they're all of age. And they were going to meet down
• 0:26
  at Key West and darn it, you know, they had to go through
• 0:31
  Charlotte, NC, to catch another plane, get a connection, and
• 0:35
  everything is cancelled in Charlotte.
• 0:39
  So anyway, Friday's are off day. There's a good look at our
• 0:45
  weather right here in Saint Louis.
• 0:49
  All right, in the news, we got two things I want to talk about
• 0:53
  this morning, Ticketmaster. As I get on X this morning,
• 0:58
  people are still talking about Ticketmaster.
• 1:01
  They are mad. And Cliff Daniels, did you know
• 1:06
  Cliff Daniels, the crew chief for Kyle Larson, was my engineer
• 1:11
  at Rab, which was Robbie Benton's team.
• 1:15
  When I drove for Robbie Benton, Cliff was a simple startup
• 1:19
  engineer and he is all over X. So anyway, let's talk about this
• 1:26
  Ticketmaster deal. I've learned a lot.
• 1:29
  I put out a video yesterday around 3:00 that hey, I don't
• 1:34
  understand. If Ticketmaster is so bad, why
• 1:41
  does every sporting event in the world to use them?
• 1:44
  And you all have told me that they are being sued.
• 1:49
  They're under federal investigation.
• 1:53
  On and on, my friends. I think we have to do a little
• 1:58
  more digging. Maybe there is something more to
• 2:01
  Ticketmaster than meets the eye. I just don't believe in my heart
• 2:07
  of all hearts that Major League Baseball and the NFL want to
• 2:13
  screw you. I don't believe that.
• 2:15
  Now, you can exaggerate a little bit here.
• 2:20
  There was one yesterday. Somebody said NASCAR hates us
• 2:25
  and of course it was a little bit of a comedy.
• 2:29
  I responded, yeah, NASCAR hates you.
• 2:33
  They created a scheme, let's get the fans.
• 2:36
  NASCAR said let's hate the fans. And then I said that's why I
• 2:43
  said 70% of you love to complain and hate.
• 2:48
  So I still believe you all and I am going with you all.
• 2:55
  OK, Ticketmaster, they're the bad people.
• 3:00
  But listen, I'm not an idiot. There's a reason the federal
• 3:06
  government and everybody uses Ticketmaster now.
• 3:13
  I see all the excess charges just like you do.
• 3:16
  Listen, I use all my tickets on my apps when I go to the
• 3:20
  baseball games, the hockey games, everything.
• 3:23
  I mean, even when I get my pit passes now, well, my sweet
• 3:27
  passes when, when, when K and LK and L ready mix out of Ohio,
• 3:33
  their sponsor of mine and what they do is they send me my sweet
• 3:37
  pass from Bristol and it comes through, you know, an app.
• 3:41
  So it's it's about impossible to get a, a paper ticket nowadays.
• 3:47
  Now you might be able to, but it's it's a lot of work.
• 3:51
  So anyway, this whole Ticketmaster deal, let's keep it
• 3:54
  up. Let's respond right here.
• 3:56
  And you've already told me why you hate it.
• 4:00
  And I agree with you. I don't like excess charges.
• 4:03
  When I go to the Bahamas and I go down there to Atlantis and I
• 4:09
  get a Coke and they charge me $8 for a Coke and, and on there is
• 4:16
  a fee because they got to bring it over in a boat because
• 4:19
  Atlantis is in the middle of an island and they got to ship
• 4:23
  Coca-Cola in. I guess I get it.
• 4:26
  I don't complain too bad. I'm like, well, they got to,
• 4:28
  they got to fly, they got to ship Coca-Cola in like, you
• 4:32
  know, it costs a lot of money to get some products to Atlantis,
• 4:36
  you know, down there in the Bahamas.
• 4:38
  But these excess charges for these tickets, there's got to be
• 4:43
  a reason we got to be able to Google it.
• 4:45
  So I need somebody to respond normally and with with heart.
• 4:53
  In other words, don't don't just go I hate Ticketmaster.
• 4:57
  There's got to be a reason they get away with it, OK.
• 5:01
  There's got to be a reason they get away with it OK.
• 5:04
  Next one real quick. Cliff Daniels and Chris Gay,
• 5:09
  Bart, even Dale Junior is on X right now talking about it.
• 5:15
  All these NASCAR Cup crew chiefs.
• 5:20
  You do know that I won this one again, right?
• 5:25
  I'm not a prick. My voice is low.
• 5:29
  I'm just saying, they say when you believe in something, say
• 5:35
  what you mean and mean what you say.
• 5:39
  I'll repeat that one. It's a tricky one.
• 5:42
  Say what you mean and mean what you say.
• 5:46
  So I did. I said what I meant, and I meant
• 5:49
  what I said about this Bristol deal is blown out of proportion.
• 5:52
  It's just it it's this snowball effect.
• 5:55
  It it it starts snowing a little.
• 5:57
  Snowball starts and somebody jumps on and goes, I hate the
• 6:00
  man. I hated Bristol.
• 6:02
  And then there's this other kid over here goes.
• 6:04
  Yeah, yeah. And then all of a sudden this
• 6:06
  mob just starts. It's just it got ridiculous.
• 6:12
  What's wrong, buddy? Oh, man.
• 6:14
  He's he's upset. What's wrong?
• 6:18
  What's wrong? Come here.
• 6:22
  It. It's the rain.
• 6:23
  Come here. Louie.
• 6:24
  Poppy loves you. Oh, God.
• 6:27
  It's OK. It's OK, buddy.
• 6:30
  Your Poppy's got you. Lay down right here.
• 6:32
  Here. Let's cover you up.
• 6:34
  Let's cover you up. Calm down.
• 6:36
  Calm down. It's OK.
• 6:40
  Oh, my God. I felt so bad for him.
• 6:42
  He was crying like a little baby.
• 6:45
  Oh, it's the rain. He all these Chihuahuas, they
• 6:48
  hate that rain. All right, Louie, I got to
• 6:52
  finish this up. OK, buddy, I calm you down.
• 6:57
  OK, so Cliff Daniels, the crew chief of Kyle Larson, Chris Gay,
• 7:06
  Bart, I don't really know who is crew chief and I can't keep up.
• 7:09
  Respond right here. Those guys have all come out and
• 7:12
  they said, OK, the car needs a little work, maybe get rid of
• 7:16
  the diffuser on the bottom. This that they and they're all
• 7:20
  like the last thing I saw Cliff Daniels, he was the winning crew
• 7:24
  chief at Bruce. The last thing I heard him say
• 7:27
  was, look, we got a good car. We just got to work on it.
• 7:31
  And I was right. Louis the legend, your fans want
• 7:39
  to make sure you're OK. I've never seen you like that.
• 7:43
  Wow. He was like, it's OK, man.
• 7:48
  This ranges, tears these dogs apart.
• 7:51
  And his sister, his sister must be like, deaf.
• 7:56
  She don't even know anything's going on.
• 7:57
  I think she is deaf sometimes. I really do.
• 8:00
  Look at her. She's over there.
• 8:02
  Lucy. Lucy.
• 8:04
  You don't even care, do you? You.
• 8:06
  You don't even care anything's going on, do you?
• 8:10
  No, Oh my God. OK, wow, what a morning, huh?
• 8:16
  All right, OK, everybody. Well, I think that's it went
• 8:21
  over the Ticketmaster deal, breaking news in the garage area
• 8:25
  for the first time. All these crew chiefs, when I
• 8:27
  say all Gabe Hart, Chris Gabe Hart, Cliff Daniels, they they
• 8:32
  just gave their opinion and it wasn't as bad as and there's a
• 8:37
  lot of fans going. Oh, and what's crazy is Kyle
• 8:41
  Larson comes on and the fans chew Kyle Larson's ass out,
• 8:46
  right? And that's when I responded and
• 8:48
  said this is unbelievable rate normal race fans telling, you
• 8:53
  know, Kyle Larson what to think. That's why when people talk shit
• 8:59
  to me, don't bother me at all. All you got to do is go on other
• 9:03
  people's timelines. I mean, great athletes and the
• 9:06
  fans talk so nasty to them. So when people talk nasty to me,
• 9:10
  I'm like, it ain't nothing. You ought to you ought to go see
• 9:13
  that timeline over there. The NFL.
• 9:15
  Oh, God, it's atrocious. You all are good to me.
• 9:19
  All right, Louis, say goodbye. Say goodbye.
• 9:23
  I got to tend to him.
