I saw some comments where people said, “Wallace just likes to hear himself talk.” And your point?

So, getting ready to have a Kenny conversation this morning with the great Greg Biffle. I’m a complimentary person. I like to compliment people. I’ve learned that this is very rare. I’m going to brag on myself for a minute. Darrell Waltrip’s wife, Stevie Waltrip, once said to me, “Kenny, you have a rare talent.” I asked, “What is that, Stevie?” She said, “You have the ability to talk nice about people.” She told me this 25 years ago, and it caught me off guard. I never realized it, but I am very rare. I’m different, and I can’t help it. I’m sorry, I was born this way. I did not grow up looking for bad in people.

Last night, I decided to repost some Kenny Conversations. Periodically, once every two weeks, I’ll repost some. People often suggest interviews I’ve already done, like with Rico Abreu or Dale Earnhardt Jr., and they missed it the first time. So, I reposted my conversation with Hailie Deegan. She ranks fourth all-time with 97,000 views. You should have seen the male chauvinists come out. I posted it, then went to dinner, and while waiting, I scrolled through the comments. Oh my God, the comments from some men! Here’s a woman out there in a man’s world, racing, and she did some winning early on in the Winston West Series. She won an asphalt race and a dirt race at the Vegas dirt track.

People are quick to point out she’s no good. Y’all are making yourselves look bad, sitting on the couch while that girl is out there. Maybe she’s in a junky car. Look at Kyle Busch right now—imagine if he was in his current situation his whole career. Look at Austin Dillon in the three car—he’s not running better than Kyle Busch. Maybe Hailie Deegan is not in a very good car. Regardless, when people are struggling, the last thing you want to do is tell them they’re no good.

I had no idea I was rare for talking nice about people. So, respond here—are you automatically negative, or do you try to pick people up? I find that people who talk negative right away, who don’t want others to do good, or point out others’ flaws, often had rough childhoods where they were always told they were no good. Me, I came out of my mama’s womb, jacked up on Mountain Dew, ready to live life.

I didn’t mean to ramble on, but there you go. We’re going to have a conversation with the Biff this morning. Next week, it’s Denny Hamlin. I’ll keep it around six minutes today. Did you wake up on the good side of the bed? Are you going to compliment people today, or talk about how everybody’s no good? Are you good, or do you not like yourself?

Have a great day!
