Herm & Schrader
Hosted by SiriusXM, Dirty Mo Media · EN
Epically historic. Occasionally irreverent. Always hilarious. Never – and we mean never – giving a single solitary damn about anything but racing, drinking beer and telling stories, some even true. What else would you expect from a show with Kenny Wallace and Ken Schrader, the charismatic, fan-favorite, midwestern buddies who are still gettin’ it done on racetracks near you. On this show, Wallace and Schrader chime in on current events, rehash old stories from their NASCAR careers and engage in conversations that have always been private … until now. Be forewarned – the two Kennys play by nobody’s rules. They say what they want. They do what they do. They are what they are.
