  Happy Tuesday morning, everybody.
• 0:07
  It's a beautiful day outside. Of course, they say there's rain
• 0:12
  coming. Sure, there's rain coming.
• 0:15
  You know why it's close to me? Dirt racing this weekend, man.
• 0:20
  I don't know what is going on, but it's like a conveyor belt of
• 0:24
  rain. So it's beautiful on Monday,
• 0:28
  Tuesday, Wednesday, then the rain comes in Thursday, Friday,
• 0:32
  Saturday, then it's beautiful Sunday, Monday, Tuesday,
• 0:36
  Wednesday, then the rain comes in Thursday, Friday, Saturday.
• 0:42
  All the timing is is not good. So we will see if we race this
• 0:47
  weekend or not. But they do say the rain is not
• 0:51
  supposed to be as bad as it was last week.
• 0:56
  All right, everybody, as John Roberts would say, my buddy
• 1:02
  Johnny Roberts, he, he would joke around.
• 1:04
  He would say there's no pleasing you people.
• 1:09
  I think Johnny got that off of a, a movie.
• 1:13
  But we would get ready to do live TV.
• 1:16
  Of course, you know, John Roberts and myself, we worked
• 1:19
  together for, what, 14 years? John Robertson, myself, he, he
• 1:25
  was the host. I was, you know, kind of the
• 1:29
  color analyst. I would, you know, talk about
• 1:33
  what it was like to be out on the racetrack for 14 years and
• 1:39
  the people would just complain about everything.
• 1:41
  And Johnny, oh, Johnny Roberts would say, there's no pleasing
• 1:46
  you people. You're always angry.
• 1:50
  I've learned that it's just the nature of people.
• 1:53
  People love to complain. It's a sport.
• 1:56
  I'm not going to talk about something good.
• 1:59
  I'm going to complain because complaining is awesome, right?
• 2:05
  All right, what are you all complaining about now?
• 2:09
  What are you whining about? We're having fun.
• 2:15
  So calm down, everybody. We're having fun.
• 2:19
  Come to find out that we have talked about this in the past.
• 2:25
  Jeff Gluck started one of them. Jeff Gluck started.
• 2:29
  Was it a good race? Never heard of such a thing.
• 2:33
  Was it a good race? Like, like, what are you going
• 2:35
  to do? What are you going to do?
• 2:38
  Like, if it's not a good race, what are you going to do?
• 2:42
  If it was a good race, what are you going to do then?
• 2:48
  It it it's like now. Now the new one is TV networks.
• 2:55
  We have the Fox network, we have NBC, we have the CWI don't like
• 3:05
  the way TV shows the race. I'm like, what the hell does
• 3:09
  that even mean? What does that mean?
• 3:11
  You don't like the way the TV shows the race?
• 3:15
  Well, they're not at the racetrack and it just can't be
• 3:20
  good if the if they're not at the racetrack.
• 3:26
  Now people, seriously, we're going to get on social media and
• 3:35
  we're going to complain about how the races are shown, but yet
• 3:41
  you can simply look right there and see the race, right?
• 3:48
  There's there's this guy Hayward Parish.
• 3:51
  I met him at South Boston. He said exactly what I was
• 3:56
  thinking. He goes, I don't even understand
• 3:59
  this. What?
• 3:59
  What do you mean you don't like the way the race is shown?
• 4:03
  It's like there's the race on TVI just watch it.
• 4:07
  But there are some of you people that will diagnose and breakdown
• 4:12
  how the race is presented. I don't like the way that
• 4:16
  they're showing the rundown, the ticker tape.
• 4:19
  It's it's on the side or it's on the bottom.
• 4:22
  And I don't like that. And, and I don't like that, you
• 4:32
  know, they, they, they showed side by side commercial, but I
• 4:36
  don't like that. I just don't want them to ever
• 4:38
  go to break. I I don't like that guy because
• 4:45
  his voice is whiny. It whines kind of like I'm doing
• 4:48
  right now. You know, I'm I don't like that
• 4:51
  commentator's voice whines. I, I don't hear the the newest
• 4:57
  one blows me away. The newest one just shocked me.
• 5:02
  I mean, this one you should be embarrassed about.
• 5:06
  I don't like Jamie Little because she didn't know it was
• 5:10
  the last lap of the race at Rockingham.
• 5:18
  People, you should be ashamed of yourself.
• 5:21
  Jamie Little has been in this sport a long time.
• 5:24
  She's a professional, she's young, she's really good at what
• 5:28
  she does. She's she's down there as a pit
• 5:32
  reporter working her ass off. Then the next day she's up in
• 5:36
  the TV booth or she's wherever that she she's in Charlotte in
• 5:40
  the studios, then she's calling the race.
• 5:45
  My point is this, aren't we just happy to be able to have this
• 5:51
  Xfinity Series on The CW? Oh, here's another one.
• 5:56
  This, this one's really funny. There's a person all over X.
• 6:00
  They keep going nuts. I'm mad that CW doesn't have an
• 6:05
  app. They need to have an app.
• 6:07
  And this guy going bet nuts he wants The CW have an app.
• 6:12
  The only way I watch my races is on an app.
• 6:17
  I'm like, well, that's a first. That's a first.
• 6:22
  You know, here's what's funny about The CW Everybody I know of
• 6:27
  that is poor, that doesn't have money, They want to watch a race
• 6:32
  with rabbit ears like they want to go back to the old TV's with
• 6:37
  antennas, like, you know, with antennas and they want they want
• 6:42
  to watch the race free. Well, let me tell you something
• 6:47
  I learned. The CW is free.
• 6:50
  It's on rabbit ears. It I grew up with these channels
• 6:55
  in Saint Louis, channel 24511 and 30 those those five TV
• 7:03
  stations is it was all there was.
• 7:06
  Channel 11 is The CW network. It's free.
• 7:10
  The CW is free and it's all across America.
• 7:14
  And you know why? I know now maybe you don't have
• 7:18
  The CW, but that's your affiliates issue.
• 7:21
  Not, not not everybody else. Here's why I know The CW is the
• 7:26
  best network for the Xfinity Series.
• 7:29
  For all these years, the highest rating an Xfinity race would get
• 7:35
  was 2 to 500,000 people. Now listen, this is very, this
• 7:40
  is very big for all these years, the Xfinity Series, the old Bush
• 7:45
  series, even when it was the TNN network days and CMT and all
• 7:50
  that, the highest rating the Xfinity Series would ever get
• 7:54
  would be 2 to 500,000 people. Now every single Xfinity, right
• 8:01
  now, every single Xfinity race is 1,000,200.
• 8:06
  So that means there's a half a million more people getting and
• 8:10
  watching the Xfinity race. So if your town does not have
• 8:15
  The CW network, that means your affiliate doesn't want to cover
• 8:18
  it, but it's out there and, and, and that's why there's over a
• 8:24
  half a million. That's 500,000 more people
• 8:29
  watching the Xfinity race. I don't like this TV because
• 8:36
  because that guy's voice is whining in and here's the other
• 8:40
  one right now. You say you don't like The CW
• 8:43
  and you don't like Fox. I took a poll.
• 8:45
  It's on X right after this. I'll show it to you.
• 8:50
  I said what are your favorite? OK, I'll play along.
• 8:53
  I will play along with your little game here.
• 8:56
  OK Jeff Gluckus. Was it a good race or bad race?
• 9:00
  I hate NASCAR, that's why I'm going to vote.
• 9:06
  Meaning you watch the race. So now we got this new one where
• 9:11
  I said, OK, I'll play along. They were just complaining about
• 9:15
  TV, just whining and complaining, even though all we
• 9:18
  got to do is just sit there and watch the race.
• 9:21
  So you cannot watch the race. You just can't watch it.
• 9:24
  So now you start looking at how they scroll the rundown of the
• 9:28
  running order or how that you paying attention to the the
• 9:31
  person's voice. Y'all goofiest at times you
• 9:34
  really pay attention to the wrong stuff.
• 9:36
  Just watch the race. That's all you got to do is
• 9:38
  watch it watch the race, watch the car.
• 9:41
  No, I I want to pay attention to the person's voice and how they
• 9:46
  show the rundown of the running order.
• 9:48
  Oh, and by the way, they're they're not there to track.
• 9:51
  They're in a studio and I didn't know that, but I read it.
• 9:55
  That's another one. You don't even know that the
• 9:59
  announcers are in a studio, but you read it somewhere.
• 10:02
  So that aggravates you people. Take a deep breath.
• 10:07
  My Lord, do do you just judge everything?
• 10:10
  I don't like the sun today because because there's some
• 10:13
  clouds, see them clouds right there.
• 10:15
  I don't like the sun because the clouds are around the sun.
• 10:22
  So the bottom line is, I say, what network do you like best?
• 10:26
  Fox, CWNBC, they said that they like NBC the best.
• 10:33
  You know why? Because they're not on the
• 10:36
  network right now. And by the way, Dale Junior
• 10:38
  doesn't even work for NBC anymore.
• 10:41
  Dale Junior does not work for NBC anymore.
• 10:48
  So it's not even a popularity contest.
• 10:52
  Here's one thing you all taught me.
• 10:53
  Whatever network is covering the race, you don't like that
• 10:57
  network. So here's what will happen.
• 10:59
  NBC will come in and then you all will go.
• 11:03
  I don't like NBC. I'm like, oh, which one you
• 11:06
  like? You go.
• 11:06
  I like Fox. So one thing I've learned about
• 11:09
  you all is whatever network is covering the race, you don't
• 11:13
  like that network. I love you all.
• 11:18
  All right, have a great Wednesday.
• 11:20
  Everybody respond right here. Why do you complain about all
• 11:25
  the networks? It don't matter which one it is.
• 11:27
  Whatever network is up, you complain about it even when it's
• 11:31
  free. Why do you come?
• 11:33
  Are you a complainer? Respond right here, Herman.
• 11:36
  You can say it in this tone, Herman.
• 11:39
  I'm just a natural complainer. It's the way I grew up.
• 11:41
  I like complaining. All right, everybody have a
• 11:46
  great Wednesday.
