[Dale Jr.]

The following is a production of Dirty Mo Media.

[Amy]

Oh, yeah. This is the way it's going to be, girl. We're going to hang out, open a bunch of jars. You got big strong hands. Are you suffering from high crack?

[Dale Jr.]

I'm working.

[Amy]

Working that mouth.

[Dale Jr.]

Welcome to Bless yous Heart presented by Arby's. We're live here at the Fan Day at Junior Motorsports. SiriusXM has been live since I think 9 in the morning. Mike and some friends were just on the stage and now Amy and myself are up here. And after us will be another hour of Door Bumper Clear with Jordan Bianchi. But we're thankful to be here. Want to thank Arby's for providing our lunch today. I like the buffalo chicken sliders. If you thinking about what you want off the menu, their sliders are insane. So we're thankful to partner with them here at DirtyMome Media and also with Junior Motorsports. And as we like to do, Amy. So I want you to say.

[Amy]

Yeah, I want to start you guys off with a drink of the week. But welcome everyone. Thanks for hanging out with us today. We're excited to do the live show.

[Dale Jr.]

Yes.

[Amy]

Our drink of the week, presented by hi Rock, of course, is the Sudachi Lime Splash. So we had this a couple of weeks ago.

[Dale Jr.]

There you go.

[Amy]

And we have dubbed this the drink of the summer. So you have.

[Dale Jr.]

It's fantastic.

[Amy]

It's so light and so good. Red Bull Soudachi Lime, which I was calling Dale Dachi. And I feel like that's more fun, right? One ounce of Hyrak, one ounce of pineapple juice and one ounce of fresh lime juice and you just pour it all in this little glass and it's delicious. So try that out. Has anyone had one? And you have it. Is it good? You like it?

[Dale Jr.]

So, you know, full transparency. We started working with Red Bull a year ago. We did some soapbox derby stuff on Discovery Channel. And obviously working with Connor Zillich, who's a Red Bull athlete, we went to the F1 race with red Bull, which was absolutely a blast. And I've. I've enjoyed their product over the years. And Steve Tartt has a little. Couple Red Bulls up in the booth. One thing, you know, when we have them 600 milers, like we will this weekend, he might tap into a couple of those, and I might steal out of the cooler. But, yeah, this. This Sudachi.

[Amy]

That's how you say sudachi.

[Travis]

That's a good job.

[Amy]

He nailed it.

[Dale Jr.]

I'm gonna tell y', all, I've drank a lot of Red Bull. I like the red. All the different flavors I have. This one is miles better.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

Than anything else they got. I mean, we're all gonna like. Like what we like. We all love our. Our. You know, our stuff, how we love it. But this is by far my favorite flavor of Red Bull. And so. Yeah. Anyways, make sure you got your little High Rock vodka for the weekend. Thank you, High Rock Vodka, for everything you do for us here. Me and Amy are equity owners in that brand, and it's doing fantastic.

[Amy]

It is. Please visit highrockvodka.com if you want to find a bottle near you. They have a store locator, and you can find all of the stereo lines, products, including High Rock vodka. And then you got to Remember to be 20 years are over as well. So drink responsible.

[Dale Jr.]

It's lime. It's the lime in this drink. I love it.

[Amy]

Is it tart? Is that why you like it?

[Dale Jr.]

It's like candy.

[Amy]

It's like candy.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Yeah. Pretty good candy fans.

[Travis]

Amy, how are you doing this morning?

[Amy]

I'm a little rough. I. Thanks.

[Dale Jr.]

Wow. You gonna call her up?

[Amy]

Thanks for pointing that out, Travis. I'm a little shaky. I had event last night. I went to this speedway children's charity event with some girlfriends, and I had too much.

[Dale Jr.]

That's something I can't do. I can't call her out right in front of everybody.

[Amy]

I'm sorry. I'm a little shaky.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah. I can't believe she ain't. She's gonna smack you.

[Amy]

No, I'm not.

[Travis]

I'm nice there, though.

[Dale Jr.]

Okay. I don't see how you can get away with it.

[Amy]

He's sitting pretty far away.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah, he is.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

But you went to the Speedway children's charity event last night.

[Amy]

I did. It was amazing.

[Dale Jr.]

It was a band.

[Amy]

The band Perry played.

[Dale Jr.]

The band was the band Perry.

[Amy]

The band was Perry Perry.

[Dale Jr.]

They just call themselves Perry. No, they're the band.

[Amy]

The band Perry is there. Is their band.

[Dale Jr.]

The band is the band Perry.

[Amy]

Oh, my God.

[Dale Jr.]

That's tough. Did they think about that when they named themselves?

[Amy]

I think they were hoping this would happen. People would just keep repeating it just to try to make sense of it.

[Travis]

Well.

[Amy]

But it was wonderful. Yeah, it was great.

[Dale Jr.]

It was over at the 1010 Speedway.

[Amy]

That's right.

[Dale Jr.]

Strange name for speedway.

[Amy]

I don't understand what 1010 means.

[Dale Jr.]

These are my friends, so I can talk crap about it.

[Amy]

Marcus and Cassie Smith. Yes.

[Dale Jr.]

Tenths Speedway.

[Amy]

What does it mean?

[Dale Jr.]

Well, I guess ten tenths of a second. I don't know.

[Amy]

Does it have to do with racing?

[Dale Jr.]

10 10? I don't know.

[Amy]

Do you know, Travis?

[Travis]

I'll Google.

[Dale Jr.]

There's a.

[Amy]

Work the Google.

[Dale Jr.]

There's a vague reference to, like when you're racing hard, you're going 110 or you're going 1010. You're giving it all you got. You're, you're, you're. You know. I don't know. I'm just trying to make it make sense.

[Amy]

Well, we haven't been over there to race either.

[Dale Jr.]

I have been over there.

[Amy]

You haven't raced a car yet?

[Dale Jr.]

Nope. I had a friend of mine had a birthday party there and I went.

[Amy]

It's pretty neat, really.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah. My buddy, Garrett Barger, he's retired. He was retiring, actually. Not a birthday party. Maybe it was.

[Amy]

It was his 40th.

[Dale Jr.]

It was his 4. No, he's my age.

[Amy]

Oh, shoot. That's right. 50 then.

[Dale Jr.]

Maybe. I don't know. Anyways, this guy's a retired trooper and he had a big party and it's the first time I went over. It's beautiful.

[Amy]

Yeah, it's great.

[Dale Jr.]

They built this. You'll see it if you go over the racetrack this weekend. Maybe you've already been over there. But they got a road course right next to Charlotte Mer Speedway. Beautiful.

[Amy]

Yeah. It's an event space with the road course behind. And so, like Marcus and Mr. H, they'll take their fancy cars out there.

[Dale Jr.]

They go out there and run their fancy cars.

[Amy]

Yeah. Like the Ferraris. Yeah, things like that.

[Dale Jr.]

Stock cars. That's where it's at.

[Amy]

I don't know.

[Dale Jr.]

I don't know about them fancy cars.

[Amy]

I don't either. Well, yeah. We don't. We don't really have any of those.

[Dale Jr.]

Look, before we carry on, we've got a lot of topics to get into. We got a game to play. But there's a bit of, I guess some news that's come out in the last hour. Kyle Busch. I'm just going to read a quote that has been posted on social media from his. His group. Kyle is experiencing a severe illness resulting in hospital. Hospitalization. He's currently undergoing treatment, will not compete in any of his scheduled activities this weekend at Charlotte Merch Speedway. We're asking for understanding privacy as our family navigates this situation. That's just super scary. We're thinking about Kyle. I was texting with him yesterday morning about some cool stuff that we wanted to do together. And, you know, so anytime anybody in our family, you know, the whole industry is one giant family, and anytime anybody has any kind of a challenge in their lives, we. Our hearts go immediately to them. So we're thinking about Kyle and Samantha and their family, hoping that he's getting the treatment that he needs and that we can see him back at the racetrack very, very soon. So just be thinking about that.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Scary.

[Dale Jr.]

It is. It is really scary. So the talking about speaking about Red Bull, you know, I've been. I've been finding myself when working with Red Bull, I've been finding myself in some unique scenarios and situations. Of course they do race.

[Amy]

What does that mean?

[Dale Jr.]

Well, you know, a lot of people, I think, were surprised to see me doing the Red Bull soapbox derby stuff or the soapbox race on Discovery last year. And they weren't, you know, they. They weren't sure what to think about that. But a lot of people enjoyed it and we had a lot of fun doing that. I did it with bags and. And you can watch that on, I guess it's still streaming on Discovery, but I had never been to a real soapbox race event. And if you. Yeah, they have a YouTube channel. There's 27 million something subscribers, and they have these Red Bull soapbox races all over the world and you can watch them and it's hilarious. There's often a lot of crashing, spectacular, you know, flips and spills and these carts and vehicles that these people are racing down this course. It's always in a city, they just going straight down the street, a big incline. There's jumps and all kinds of stuff. And these carts just fall apart and they're homemade and there's always a theme to each cart. And so if you haven't checked it out. It's really, really entertaining. And they do some other stuff too. I think over in Europe they fly. They fly vehicles off into the Channel, the English Channel, and see who can fly the furthest because Red Bull gives you wings. They're playing off of that theme. They do all kinds of fun, crazy stuff and we always usually end up laughing during this stuff. So it's. It's a lot of fun. I'd never been to one of those in person. I'd seen that stuff on YouTube before. But they had a race in Los Angeles. They invited us to it.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

And so you and I got to go see it firsthand. And I got to.

[Amy]

We got to take a friend along. You did the initial ride.

[Dale Jr.]

Some of y' all might know Brad. Brad Burroughs. He is an actor. He's. If you guys remember the Sunoco Racing Fuel commercial where the guy's waving the checkered flag, long pony. And he's got it. He's like a construction worker. That's Brad. You know when Brad was doing that commercial, you know his full time job was. He was mowing grass on the farm. Yes.

[Travis]

Is Brad the one that took the shots in Key west to get slapped?

[Dale Jr.]

Brad did take. Brad took some. There's a shot you can like to

[Amy]

have a good time.

[Dale Jr.]

Well, there's a. Let's explain what that is. There's a shot you can take in Key west in a bar and they, they smack you. You take the shot and then, then

[Amy]

the gals, the bartenders literally slaps you across the face. I don't know why anybody would sign up to do that.

[Dale Jr.]

Well, we. None of us were interested in that.

[Amy]

Seems very popular.

[Dale Jr.]

Brad, he's a stuntman. And so it. Anyhow, he's an actor. He's. He was in night school and a little, little spot in night school is a tow truck driver. So he's. He's done a lot of videos and you've seen him in racing commercials. He's probably done about 300 racing commercials over the last two decades. And you've seen him in there and didn't even know it. We took him with us and we made him go down the course in one of the.

[Amy]

He was one of the vehicles, the stunt dummy doing the initial.

[Dale Jr.]

He was the guinea pig.

[Amy]

I see. This is.

[Dale Jr.]

And first person down the course was Brad. Yeah. And so, so nervous and scared.

[Amy]

He was Brad. He didn't know how to work the vehicle. And part of the, of the. His looked like a Red Bull can.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy]

So he gets in there and part of the, the steering housing or something was not even bolted down. So they just took that out and he's holding onto it like, do I need this? What's this going to do? Is this whole thing just going to fall apart? So from the get go he was like, this is, this sucks and I'm, I'm going to die.

[Dale Jr.]

Brad is currently not mowing grass on the farm anymore. He's a FedEx driver in Illinois.

[Amy]

Yes.

[Dale Jr.]

And so I called him and I say, bud, I got a job I think you might want to do. So he met us in la. We sent him down the course. I got to interview some of the other participants, which was a lot of fun. They're all full of energy and they're all, There was one team that won the race, they were all Vin Diesel. All of them had bald heads and their, their cart was Vin Diesel. They ended up winning the race. Yeah. And so it was just a lot of fun.

[Amy]

I, I, the creativity and the energy of the teams is really fun. They have over 700 entries and they have to get it down to 40 people.

[Dale Jr.]

Red Bull is. So when I, when I partnered with them, they're like, hey, we need you to go to like three live events. And they'll send me like seven or eight places that I could, you know, things they have going on, whatever, you know, crazy wild stuff they've got going on all, all over the country. And you just kind of pick, all right, that looks fun, that looks fun. So that was one of the ones we got to do. And I don't know where we're going to end up next, but it's probably going to be at something that I never thought I would experience. That's kind of the deal with Red Bull. But that was, that was a lot of fun.

[Dale Jr.]

We got home and we had a graduation. Or was that before the graduate? That was before the graduation, wasn't it? Or not.

[Amy]

Remember? I can't remember what today is.

[Dale Jr.]

Yes, that was on Thursday.

[Amy]

Yeah, the girls have finished school. Nicole finished last week and then Isla finished on Monday. So we had some graduations. Isla didn't really graduate from anything. She just finished out her year, man. But Nicole finished preschool. She graduated from preschool and that was a tear jerker for me. It's like the end of an era. It's all big girl stuff. Now. Everybody with little kids understands this. When you get to that space and you want your kids going to the same school for easy drop off and all the things like it frees up a lot of time. But it's just sad because they're gonna get bigger and they're not going to be little babies anymore.

[Dale Jr.]

I think I could speak for everybody here. When y' all finished the third grade, you just got up and walked out of the classroom and. And mom or dad picked you up and that was the end of it.

[Amy]

That was that.

[Dale Jr.]

Well, we was in the auditorium. That was a big production. There was awards.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

It was gowns. That was for third grade. For first, second, third, fourth and fifth.

[Amy]

They do it for all of the classes, all the teachers.

[Dale Jr.]

I love it.

[Amy]

One of their students of certificates.

[Dale Jr.]

Wish I would have had something like that when I was graduating third grade.

[Amy]

Do you want a certificate? I can write your.

[Dale Jr.]

That was tough. Third was.

[Amy]

That's what yours is. Really tough. He's too tough.

[Dale Jr.]

Fourth grade was really tough.

[Amy]

Chatty Cathy.

[Dale Jr.]

I don't know how I got through that one.

[Amy]

The fourth grade.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy]

What was somebody about the fourth grade.

[Dale Jr.]

I don't. I don't remember paying much attention. I don't know how I got the grades.

[Amy]

Yeah. Fourth grade kind of is a word for me too.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah. I remember spider writing. You remember spider writing?

[Amy]

No. What the hell is that?

[Dale Jr.]

No. Where you write your name and then you color around it with different colors and it makes this big bright.

[Amy]

Doodling is what they call that. You did that. That's what you did in the fourth.

[Dale Jr.]

That's the kind of projects we did in fourth grade.

[Amy]

Oh, my gosh.

[Dale Jr.]

Now, now, now Isla's doing division.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

She's in all kinds of stuff. Yeah. They're way, way more advanced.

[Amy]

What we want, Right?

[Dale Jr.]

I guess. I don't know.

[Amy]

I feel like when she had nothing but Spider Right.

[Dale Jr.]

When she comes home with her homework, I feel bad for her, man. I'm like, I didn't have to do this. Sorry. I'm not supposed to cuss. I have a feeling we're on XM

[Amy]

post to do the thing.

[Dale Jr.]

Forgive me. And just hopefully we got a seven second delay. Somebody got the button there.

[Amy]

We need a bleep.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah. Now, I don't. I. I look at the homework the kids are doing and I'm. They're like that. They're doing stuff that I was probably doing two or three grades up.

[Amy]

Yeah, it's a little bit hard. But you. You had this issue.

[Dale Jr.]

I remember being able to. I remember being able to graduate out of high school only doing two algebras.

[Amy]

Really?

[Dale Jr.]

Yes. Y' all remember that. Now you. You boy, you can't get out of. You can't get them credits. Them two algebra classes ain't gonna get you graduated. Now you got to do. What's the next one? Calculus. Boy, I did everything I could not to do calculus. I was like, I ain't cut out for calculus.

[Amy]

I signed up for all of that stuff.

[Dale Jr.]

I just need to add and subtract and racing. That's all I need to do.

[Amy]

That's all we're doing. Just some basics.

[Dale Jr.]

I had some friends going into Cactus. I'm. What are you going in that for? You don't have to. You don't have to still graduate without it.

[Amy]

You don't have to do this.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah, that was my. My idea.

[Amy]

You just wanted to them to stay with you.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah. And I love telling this story. I had to. I had. You had to have two foreign language credits. And so my. I wasn't smart enough to take Spanish. I took French when Spanish is kind of French.

[Amy]

You took French?

[Dale Jr.]

Well, Spanish has some similarities to our own language. Right. So it's a little bit easier. I took French, and it has no similarities. Right. And so I'm in French class, and I know, like, a month or two in, I've made a massive mistake. I failed French one.

[Amy]

You did?

[Dale Jr.]

Yes. And I went to summer school for French one and then. And passed it.

[Amy]

Wow.

[Dale Jr.]

And then I failed French, too.

[Travis]

I failed Spanish, too.

[Dale Jr.]

I failed French, too. I didn't do summer school after French two. I took it the third. The second year.

[Amy]

You just stayed in the same classroom

[Dale Jr.]

over and over to the second year and failed it again. And then I went to summer school and passed it, and there was this nice little lady that gave me the summer school class, and the original French teacher protested me passing in summer.

[Amy]

This is. This is not right.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah, it was a. He was like, he ain't no way. He. He. He knows. Ain't no way. He knows it.

[Amy]

Well, you do remember a little French.

[Dale Jr.]

But I was thinking, oh, my gosh, I'm never going to graduate because of French.

[Amy]

Yeah. I took Latin like a dummy. I thought somebody told me that was going to help you on yours.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy]

And your ACT scores. And it did not.

[Dale Jr.]

The only thing good about French class was every Friday we listened to music. And so he pulled out a record player and had a bunch of records, and we would play records. And a lot of it was French music. And we're all singing along, but we played. He. He would allow us to play Stairway to Heaven, and we sang it in French.

[Amy]

That's so weird.

[Dale Jr.]

We always. Every. Every Friday, we got Stairway in Heaven. That was not gonna be denied. Right.

[Amy]

I can't believe I'm actually learning new things about you still.

[Dale Jr.]

Hey, it just comes up. It's not in there.

[Amy]

Oh, it's back in the file.

[Dale Jr.]

It's way in the back part. And the more I talk, the more it comes out. Does that make sense?

[Amy]

I mean. Yeah, it makes sense.

[Dale Jr.]

There's Red Bull's helping.

[Amy]

I hear that. You. So we've talked about this. A couple weeks ago, Dale had a moment with a football coach at the high school.

[Dale Jr.]

Oh, yeah. Speaking of high school, man, we're going. We're.

[Amy]

We're just gonna.

[Dale Jr.]

Doing a high school thing.

[Amy]

You're just gonna loop it around? Yeah.

[Travis]

Got big time.

[Amy]

He got.

[Dale Jr.]

I got big time.

[Amy]

He got big time by the football coach years ago, and we just talked about that. And then they sent him some gear from the high school. And so Dale actually got a phone call.

[Dale Jr.]

I got from the coach. A friend text me and said, hey, I know the coach. Coach heard about this. His wife gave him the clip, and he would love to talk to you. And I'm like, oh, man, I'm in trouble.

[Amy]

I would have been scared to call him and.

[Dale Jr.]

But I called him. I'm like, I'm gonna make this right. I called him and I talked to him. He's like, man, I remember that. He was like, I was in the middle of doing something. I was on a tractor, and I couldn't. I was like, I got to finish what I'm doing. He's like, I regret not getting down and saying, hey. I'm like, dude, you were fine. I felt stupid for even assuming I could go over there and just get your attention.

[Amy]

But he, too, had been thinking about it for a long time, apparently.

[Dale Jr.]

And I told him, I'm like, you gotta remember, man, I'm so funny. I'm like, just recently graduated. I hadn't been out of high school long. And I'm like, you're the football coach. Like, you're the man. You're Every male, at least that goes to this high school, looks up to you. Like, you're the football coach, your leader. You're a leader. You're shaping lives. You know, you're teaching these young guys on the football field. And even people that aren't playing, you know how to grow up. And so I'm thinking, man, you know, I was. I was.

[Amy]

He was just trying to teach you a lesson, is what you were thinking.

[Dale Jr.]

Well, I know. I was just trying to go meet somebody I looked up to and wish them good luck in the coming season. And I was like, don't think Anything. He was like, I feel bad. I was like, don't think anything about it. I feel stupid. But we did talk.

[Amy]

Same feelings.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah. Talk to the coach.

[Amy]

He's retired now, so they still have that same hair.

[Dale Jr.]

Because that was 30 years ago.

[Amy]

That was quite a while ago.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah, we settled it up, sorted it out. Some weird thing that happened. This little, tiny little interaction. We cleaned it up 30 years ago.

[Amy]

That's good.

[Dale Jr.]

Yep. Isn't it nice?

[Amy]

It is so nice. You know what's not nice?

[Dale Jr.]

What?

[Amy]

Getting pulled up. So it's Nicole's last day of preschool.

[Dale Jr.]

Y' all gotta give her a hard time.

[Amy]

He usually is not in the car with me going to preschool. He takes Isla to school, I take Nicole.

[Dale Jr.]

This was freaking fantastic.

[Amy]

And there's a stoplight right next to the school. You have to U turn. There's no left turn into the parking lot. So I do this every single day. We get to the light, everybody in front of me and behind me does the same thing. We don't wait for that thing to turn green. We just make our U turn. And I did this on the last day of preschool and I immediately got pulled over by a cop. There was a cop right behind me. And he's like, you look like you're from out of town. I'm like, actually, I'm a local and I just taken my daughter to school here because the plates on the car.

[Dale Jr.]

Plates on the car. Got a Florida plate on from our dealership.

[Amy]

And I should have just gone with that, except I had to give him my license and he would have figured it out anyway. I was like, honestly, I do this every day. And he's like, oh, well, you can't turn unless it's green. I'm like, well, it says U turn. It says U turn. Like, I don't know what the laws are. I grew up in Texas. We don't have U turns in Texas. Like that. And there's a protected right hand turn, Caddy corner. To me, it's like the whole thing's a mess, to be honest.

[Dale Jr.]

Was the light red?

[Amy]

The light was red and I ran it.

[Travis]

At what point have you ever said I'm allowed to go when it's red?

[Amy]

That day and every other day preceding it.

[Dale Jr.]

I know it. Right? I know it.

[Travis]

I usually take your side on a lot of things.

[Dale Jr.]

I can't on this one, we're sitting there and she. I'm like. I'm like. It was red. And it's a. You're turning across traffic because there's cars. We're at an intersection, right? So there's cars coming from our left that could be turning right.

[Amy]

There was nobody in that lane.

[Dale Jr.]

I know, but they are whether there is cars there or not. You're turning across traffic into.

[Amy]

I was not turning across. You're turning and literally turning your around the median.

[Dale Jr.]

Your U turn is putting you into oncoming traffic that's coming from the opposite direction. And so that's why the red light is there, to keep you from stop. You know, it's your turn. Wait. Wait for your turn. Amy said, well, there's. There's. You can turn on reds that are right. So she thought, if you can turn right on a red, why can't you turn left on?

[Amy]

Well, like, if you have a double right turn, the exit 33 turn, you know? Yeah, you can turn right out of the left. Dude, I At a red light.

[Dale Jr.]

You can turn right on a red light.

[Amy]

Listen, I made it.

[Dale Jr.]

You got away.

[Amy]

I've done it so many times. I can't believe.

[Dale Jr.]

I couldn't believe it. You've been out there breaking the law all this time with the kids in the car.

[Amy]

Every day. Every day, breaking the law.

[Dale Jr.]

I mean, we ain't even got the wheel straight from the U turn. And it was like, whoop, yeah, yeah. I was like, holy moly.

[Amy]

Yeah. And he goes, what is that? I was like, it's a police car. She goes, we're getting pulled over.

[Dale Jr.]

And, hey, we are pulled real police officer. We are pulled over right beside the school. We are looking into the parking lot at all of the other parents that are waiting to drop their kid off. They are witnessing all of this. And Amy says to me, you just try to get out and take her down there.

[Amy]

I don't want her to be late at this point. I'm like, well, I don't know how

[Dale Jr.]

to get out and walk across the street and take her down this.

[Amy]

We were sidewalk. Yeah, it would have been fine. I just wanted him to get out of the car more than anything. I was like, he doesn't need to.

[Dale Jr.]

What was the guy in the police car gonna think when I got out of the car? Mid. Mid stop? Like, you were supposed to stay in the vehicle.

[Amy]

Well, the driver was in the vehicle.

[Dale Jr.]

He's gonna say. He's gonna think we're a bunch of lunatics. We ran a red light. Now we're getting out of the car,

[Travis]

Suspects on the road.

[Amy]

We should have just started running around it and screaming bees. What's that? Movie

[Dale Jr.]

time crew.

[Amy]

I'm on fire.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah, well, I loved it because it was. Our little girl was so entertained.

[Amy]

Yeah, I told. Yeah, I told Nicole. I was like, honestly, if daddy wasn't in here, we would never have told him that happened. She was like, oh, I would have. I got no, no one on my side with that.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy]

But you know, dude, the.

[Dale Jr.]

The officer was extremely kind and he

[Amy]

just gave me a verbal warning. I didn't have any paperwork or anything that I had to take home so I really could have gotten away with it. Sorry.

[Dale Jr.]

No, it was good. I was glad I was there.

[Amy]

Yeah, I bet you were.

[Dale Jr.]

Yep. So, you know we

[Amy]

always glad when you're around to see my embarrassing moments.

[Dale Jr.]

I know. I wonder how many times you are getting pulled over and I don't know about it.

[Dale Jr.]

we love to play games on this show, huh?

[Amy]

We're gonna play a game.

[Dale Jr.]

Yep.

[Sponsor Announcer]

Yeah, we have a game.

[Travis]

It's called Red Flag. Green Flag.

[Dale Jr.]

All right.

[Amy]

Gosh.

[Dale Jr.]

You get it. You won't just red flags only.

[Amy]

Red means stop.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Green means go.

[Dale Jr.]

And.

[Travis]

And so the fans have some too.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Did you tell Travis about that before today?

[Travis]

I had no idea.

[Amy]

Really? This is just. God's giving us the.

[Travis]

You think we prepared about this show?

[Amy]

Yes.

[Travis]

No.

[Amy]

I think you two are always a little scheming.

[Dale Jr.]

Yep. Amy has a red flag and a green flag in her hand and we're making sure she knows. Which means what red means.

[Travis]

So you pull through traffic when you

[Dale Jr.]

see what color Amy Red means Go whenever you want.

[Amy]

It means just look everywhere. Look all the directions. If nobody's coming, mash the gas.

[Travis]

All right, so I'm gonna ask some questions, and you'll say if it's a red flag or green flag. I think some fans have some flags.

[Sponsor Announcer]

Feel.

[Dale Jr.]

Oh, nice. We got a lot of flags out there. Awesome. Everybody's gonna participate.

[Travis]

So first question is, they don't like cats.

[Dale Jr.]

Wait, what?

[Amy]

Who doesn't like cats?

[Dale Jr.]

I don't say red flag.

[Amy]

Wait, wait. I want to know what. What's. What am I supposed to answer?

[Dale Jr.]

You're. Is that a red flag?

[Travis]

A green flag.

[Amy]

Oh, okay. They don't like red flag. You don't like cats.

[Travis]

That's a green flag.

[Amy]

There's not many red flags out there, y'. All.

[Dale Jr.]

That's some greens.

[Amy]

A lot of cat haters here.

[Dale Jr.]

Green flag if you don't. Oh, yeah. So some people just like no cats.

[Amy]

Travis, you don't like cats?

[Dale Jr.]

No cat.

[Sponsor Announcer]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

Is it. Is it an allergy? Some people do have that.

[Amy]

Are you scared?

[Dale Jr.]

Are they. Is it the shedding? Is it the tearing up of the furniture?

[Amy]

Is it the litter box? Yes. There's hands over the litter box.

[Travis]

They climb on the litter box.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah. Cleaning the litter box is a tough one. And those automatic ones, you know, they.

[Amy]

They stare at you while you're sleeping, too.

[Dale Jr.]

I like cats.

[Amy]

I do, too. I like cats.

[Dale Jr.]

You know why?

[Amy]

But I don't like any of the other things that come with cats.

[Dale Jr.]

I like cats because we used to have this one. His name was Tux, because he had a little tuxedo fur.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

And they could. He could get out the dog door, and he'd go out the back, and he'd get a mouse and play with it. And oftentimes he would just bring it to the steps and leave it there for you. Like, hey, look what I got. Look what I did.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

You know, and he's just proud of himself.

[Amy]

It was always mice, too.

[Dale Jr.]

It was never birds, little mice. And because we live, we basically, our house is built in a field. So there's field all around us, and there's mice everywhere. And so I called a mouse today in the garage.

[Amy]

Oh, you did?

[Dale Jr.]

Yep. So we. He brought a mouse, little field mouse into the house all the way upstairs. Jumped in the bed, on top of Amy on my. And let go of that mouse.

[Amy]

Dale was not home. And so this cat came all the way upstairs, and I had just moved in. I don't know if this is like, hey, welcome, or, hey, get the hell out out of here.

[Dale Jr.]

Y.

[Amy]

But he had come all the way. All the way up with his mouse, and it was alive. And he dropped it on my chest. He was making, like, a bellowing.

[Dale Jr.]

And it ran down her leg, straight

[Amy]

down my legs, and I shot straight off my back onto my feet on the other side of the bed. I was like, holy smokes. And then we found the mouse couple days later. Couple days later under the couch. She didn't.

[Dale Jr.]

Oh, my gosh.

[Amy]

But that wasn't perfect.

[Travis]

And that's why dogs are better.

[Amy]

And that's a good reason to like dogs better.

[Dale Jr.]

This cat's like, maybe it's hard to impress. I brought it all the way in here.

[Amy]

He's still alive. He's.

[Travis]

All right. Next question is they always place their phone with the screen down?

[Amy]

Oh, that's shady.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah, I do that.

[Amy]

That and shade screens. Like, what are we. What are we looking at, y'?

[Dale Jr.]

All.

[Travis]

Yeah, what if they're doing that so they focus on you?

[Dale Jr.]

Well, yeah.

[Amy]

So, like, it's down on the dinner table at the restaurant.

[Dale Jr.]

If you're. If we're. Just put it in your pocket, K. That's uncomfortable. Bones have gotten too big.

[Amy]

That's.

[Dale Jr.]

That's one problem. So I wish we'd never gotten bigger phones. I remember the original threes and the three S's. Like, those were nice. Fit right down in your pocket. Now they're huge. Yeah, but. And they're. There's no good place to carry them anymore. But with you. If we're at dinner and you go, get off your phone. I put it down. So I. It. It's. It's to keep me from being distracted, because I'll pick it back up because you'll feel it. Vibe. I see something, I'll go. If I see something, I go, oh, God, I gotta answer that. You know?

[Amy]

Yes, you do feel like you have to.

[Dale Jr.]

I put it away where it doesn't. Plus, I gotta watch it telling me about everything that's happening on that phone.

[Amy]

You're connected anyway.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah, but I don't know. I set mine down, up, down.

[Amy]

I'm the opposite. I don't really want to have to get that thing out and look. And sometimes I get it out. I'm like, oh, my gosh. There's, like, 100 text messages to respond to.

[Dale Jr.]

You ought to win a race.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

Get a lot of text messages.

[Amy]

Dale's phone would just die.

[Dale Jr.]

I love when drivers win races. Like, Honeycutt won the truck race last week. And I was like. I text them how many. How Many texts this morning? Yeah, I just kind of want to know. Usually it's like, the answer is usually about 250, 300.

[Amy]

That's craziness.

[Dale Jr.]

And then I say, all right, are you copying and pasting?

[Amy]

The answer is yes.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah. Because you'll mess around and copy and paste. So you'll say.

[Amy]

You don't put the name in there.

[Dale Jr.]

You get 250, 300 text messages, and it. You know, it's all your friends, and you'll be like, thanks, buddy. Appreciate it, buddy. And you'll send that to your mom or something accidentally because she'll be in there, and you're just going so fast, and it'll be like, oh, you know, call my mom, buddy.

[Amy]

I feel like your mom is a little one that wouldn't get mad about that. She probably just.

[Dale Jr.]

But it's a giveaway.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

That you're copying and pasting.

[Amy]

Yeah. Well, at least you respond to everyone. I don't think I would. Yeah, that's too much.

[Dale Jr.]

How could you? What did you just do? Tell your phone to call them all red.

[Amy]

Can you do that?

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Yeah. Just get rid of that red flag.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Travis]

Next question. They put ketchup on their eggs.

[Dale Jr.]

That's a red flag for me.

[Amy]

I think ketchup goes on.

[Dale Jr.]

I like red. I like ketchup.

[Amy]

Not as much as hot sauce, but my daddy puts ketchup. I like.

[Dale Jr.]

I like hot sauce or salsa or something like that on my eggs. What else we put on our eggs? Mayonnaise.

[Amy]

Mayonnaise.

[Dale Jr.]

Oh, my gosh. I love mayonnaise. Put it on eggs. I can't believe you admitted that in front of all of us.

[Travis]

If you have, like, an aioli on a sandwich, maybe.

[Amy]

Well, that's the same.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah, I guess. If it's a sandwich with. With bacon and all that, but just like. I'm thinking scrambled eggs.

[Travis]

Crazy.

[Amy]

Yeah. Liver mush.

[Travis]

We don't need that.

[Dale Jr.]

We do.

[Amy]

Travis doesn't like liver mush.

[Travis]

I've never had it.

[Amy]

We should have a tasting on here.

[Travis]

All right, I will.

[Dale Jr.]

Texas Pete. Hot sauce. Hot sauce on the eggs. Eggs by themselves. Man. That's boring. Yeah.

[Amy]

You get bored easy.

[Dale Jr.]

I think I. I need my eggs to be jazzy. I need them to be.

[Amy]

Wild them up with some sauce.

[Dale Jr.]

I need them. They ain't fun enough.

[Amy]

Buffalo by themselves.

[Dale Jr.]

Has anybody got a pen at home with chickens? Somebody was telling me. Yeah, chicken coop. Somebody's telling me the other day, I need to do that because the eggs are way better. That's.

[FanDuel Announcer]

Yeah.

[Amy]

What he doesn't understand is I already gave me chicken coop eggs. I don't get the eggs.

[Dale Jr.]

Amy wants to rescue donkeys and mules and cats. No. Chickens?

[Amy]

No. I don't want to deal with snakes.

[Dale Jr.]

Oh. I mean, the donkeys. Mules don't do nothing.

[Amy]

They're so sweet.

[Dale Jr.]

They're sweet, but they don't give us eggs.

[Amy]

You can't. Like, they give you hugs.

[Dale Jr.]

No.

[Amy]

You can hug on them.

[Dale Jr.]

I've chased him around trying to put the coats on when it was snowing.

[Amy]

Yeah, that was a disaster. I don't feel like y' all should

[Dale Jr.]

have seen that it's snowing.

[Amy]

Well, Dale, too. He's. He's not real. He's not real ginger around much. And so he gets out there and he's wafting the big things, making them all.

[Dale Jr.]

I'm not. I'm not. I need to sneak up on Ralph. Yeah.

[Amy]

Yeah. He's making a bunch of racket when

[Dale Jr.]

it was snowing, and Amy and Sonny were chasing the donkeys around for about two hours trying to get coats on them.

[Amy]

It took a lot longer than it should have.

[Dale Jr.]

It did. And they'll kick. Yeah, well, mess around.

[Travis]

Next question. They'll use your toothbrush.

[Amy]

Huh? Nobody's using my toothbrush.

[Dale Jr.]

Massive red flag.

[Amy]

No.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah, red flag. They'll use your toothbrush. Anybody? No One? No greens. Yeah. That's pretty straightforward.

[Travis]

I'm surprised, Dale. I thought you might actually borrow, too, first. Yeah, I could see you doing that.

[Dale Jr.]

Dale, let me ask you this. What if you're married and you're in a pinch still? No. There's a couple nods, couple greens, couple reds. Amy and I have done that.

[Amy]

Don't tell people that.

[Dale Jr.]

Why? I mean, it's been in a pinch.

[Amy]

Are you using mine when I'm not around?

[Dale Jr.]

No.

[Amy]

Like, if I leave it in the shower, sometimes I like to brush my.

[Dale Jr.]

When we're.

[Amy]

Shower? No, when.

[Dale Jr.]

Like we traveled somewhere and somebody forgot theirs or, you know, and it's happened. I can't count on one hand. A couple times.

[Travis]

Times.

[Amy]

I don't recall. I refuse to believe that that happened.

[Travis]

Nowadays, you just go down to the lobby. I feel like they have those, everybody.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah, I know. It doesn't happen all the time. Just once or twice.

[Travis]

They sleep with their socks on.

[Amy]

Fine.

[Dale Jr.]

No, I don't think it's something. I mean, I wouldn't do it.

[Amy]

You do do it.

[Dale Jr.]

I wouldn't.

[Amy]

What? What the heck.

[Dale Jr.]

I go to. If I go to bed with my

[Amy]

socks on, the sweatpants.

[Dale Jr.]

If I go to bed with my Socks on. That means I'm tired as hell.

[Amy]

He just fell in.

[Dale Jr.]

That means I'm too damn tired to take him off. I've had a long day where it's cold.

[Amy]

You're old now. You get cold.

[Dale Jr.]

I don't like the feeling of socks on in the bed.

[Amy]

Yeah, I don't like that feeling.

[Dale Jr.]

No.

[Amy]

It does keep you warm, though.

[Dale Jr.]

But I'll sleep in my sweatpants sometimes when it's cold.

[Amy]

I don't like that feeling either.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Get caught up in the sheets.

[Dale Jr.]

You wake up in the morning and they're up to your knees.

[Travis]

If I'm sick, I'll sleep with socks

[Sponsor Announcer]

on, but that's it.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

Sick.

[Travis]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

What's that gotta do?

[Amy]

Helps you break sweat.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah, I just.

[Amy]

Your fever.

[Dale Jr.]

Get all the blankets.

[Travis]

But then the socks will help, too.

[Dale Jr.]

Do y' all believe? Now, I know this. This is. This probably been proven, probably back in, like, the 1500s or way, way back. But when you. If you just pile all the blankets on and sweat, you can cure yourself. Like, you come out of there when you. You break the sweat, like, immediately you feel better. Isn't that cool? Now, that works. I like that.

[Amy]

I know. I think that's what the sock theory is.

[Dale Jr.]

Well, I get sick, and you come in there with all this. All this medicine and. And ointments and stuff, and I'm like, I'm just gonna cover up sweat. That. That fixes it.

[Amy]

No, it doesn't. Not just.

[Travis]

But it helps.

[Amy]

It does help.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy]

I think socks are fine.

[Dale Jr.]

All right.

[Amy]

Sick or not, I don't know.

[Dale Jr.]

It's not a red flag for me, but it's just. I don't like it. I don't like it how it feels. So when you're doing it, it's kind of like wearing the sock with the seam around the toes.

[Amy]

Do they still make those?

[Dale Jr.]

Ain't wear those where the seam's got to go over the toes, Right. But I remember they probably don't make them anymore. But back in the day, the cheap socks, you know, had to seam around that toe go terrible. I remember having to, like, pull that thing up over the toe and shove my foot in the shoe fast so it'd stay there because you'll feel it.

[Amy]

You thought about it like you thought about it. Even when your foot got in the shoe, you're still thinking about the seam.

[Dale Jr.]

It bothers you. Yes. So our little girl, Nicole, I saw her the other day messing with her seam, getting it right.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

She's like, yeah, I know the feeling.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

And she's four. She was four when this was happening. I was like, that's my girl.

[Amy]

She straightens it up.

[Dale Jr.]

That seemed right. Can't have that thing bothering you.

[Amy]

I'm gonna add two of you. Yeah, she's very particular.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Travis]

Back in the day, they didn't have the no show socks. You have to roll them down yourself and like double layer. Yeah, that was the worst.

[Dale Jr.]

That took me a while to get. Get into the no show, no show socks. Yeah, that's a lot to say. But just the low sock. Like, I always had ankle high socks. But then I started dating Amy. She's like, you ain't wearing them. I'm like, with your shorts. Yeah, yeah, that looks weird.

[Amy]

Like, I don't care what you got on.

[Dale Jr.]

I was.

[Amy]

But if we're gonna go to keep those, you can't wear those.

[Dale Jr.]

I won't. Well, I was born in a time when that was perfectly normal. And then it become not normal. And I wasn't told about it.

[Amy]

You weren't ready?

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

And so I had to rethink socks.

[Amy]

I think tall socks are back in now. Even the girls are wearing, like just.

[Dale Jr.]

Just as I got it figured out, they're going to change it up. Yep, yep.

[Amy]

Recycling background.

[Travis]

All right, next question. They offer you boxed wine.

[Dale Jr.]

I don't care. I just started drinking a little bit of wine here lately. I'll take some box wine.

[Amy]

We like all the wine, right?

[Dale Jr.]

I didn't. I drank. I started out with orange juices with. With high rock or vodka. My dad drank it and so that's what I'm do. Everything dad did. That's what I always did. And then we got the Bud deal. And me and Dad, I don't like beer. I don't like it. It's 1998 and I don't drink it. Don't like it. Don't hang out my friends. I don't mess with it. And we're driving to dinner to Charlotte. Me and dad with Teresa, and we're going to have dinner with the. With August Busch and his dad, the dudes that own Anheuser Busch. And I said, dad, do I gotta drink a beer? He goes, yes. And he's.

[Amy]

I said, you drink it and you smile.

[Dale Jr.]

He said, you. He said, put that thing in front of you. He said, you don't have to finish it, but you better be acting like you're drinking it, acting like you're liking it. And so that was kind of introduction. I wasn't a big fan of it. All my friends were Drinking. I'm like, it don't taste good. But I acquired a taste for it.

[Amy]

Yeah, it didn't take. It really didn't take you long, I don't think.

[Dale Jr.]

And then what my point is, is, like, recently, Amy has me trying the wines, and I like the whites. I don't like the reds.

[Amy]

He doesn't drink it slow, though. So he chugs wine like chugs a beer, which is bad.

[Dale Jr.]

That's what I got to learn. You're not supposed to do that.

[Amy]

Before we went to the boat not that long ago, and I had gotten a bottle of white wine, and I was going to share it with him, and he drank the whole thing by himself. I was like, wow.

[Dale Jr.]

And then I. And it wasn't enough?

[Amy]

No. He's like, do you have any more of that?

[Travis]

What kind of water?

[Dale Jr.]

I don't know how you thought me and you were gonna enjoy that.

[Amy]

Just have a glass.

[Dale Jr.]

Wasn't enough, you know?

[Amy]

Yeah, just a little.

[Dale Jr.]

But it go. I drink it like beer, and I gotta learn how to sip it, but it. Sipping, it's not fun.

[Travis]

What kind of white wine?

[Dale Jr.]

You only want me to say it because, I don't know. I pronounce it Pinot. Grease. Pino. Grigio. How do you say it?

[Amy]

Pinot.

[Dale Jr.]

Pinot.

[Amy]

He puts it. You make it Spanish. Pino.

[Dale Jr.]

I put a Y in there. Hucks. People make fun of how I say Toyota.

[Amy]

You say lots of funny words.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah, that's the only one I like.

[Amy]

It's fun to watch him order it, too, at a restaurant, because he never. You never get that right. And the waitress is like, I don't think we have that.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah, I don't like. That's all I like. That's the only one.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Do you have another question?

[Travis]

I think we'll pivot to some Ask Amy questions now.

[Dale Jr.]

Oh, I love it. Thank you all for participating.

[Amy]

Yeah, that was fun.

[Dale Jr.]

I know it's warm out there. I appreciate y' all hanging in there for us.

the Dale Jr. Download comes from TalkAboutPD.com let's talk about Peyronie's disease or PD. It's not widely talked about and some men may feel reluctant to bring it up, but it's more common than you think. PD can happen when scar tissue builds up under the skin of the penis, causing a curve with a bump during an erection. That for some men may lead to pain during intimacy and impact mental health. A trusted urology specialist can help you diagnose PD and walk you through your options, including non surgical treatment. Visit talkaboutpd.com

[Travis]

so our first question had a couple of these people want to know how to was, how's Dale with doing the girl's hair?

[Amy]

He's not bad, but like going back to that ginger thing, he's not real gentle. I'm not gentle brushing their hair either. I mean, who's got time for gentle when you're doing the kids hair before school, they, they just do a ponytail. He can do that, but it's usually low. Like he doesn't put it high and make it spunky looking. It's just like utilitarian ponytail. And I feel like you do pretty good.

[Dale Jr.]

I think I do.

[FanDuel Terms Announcer]

Like, do you ever try like the

[Travis]

vacuum hack that they show?

[Amy]

No. No. The girls don't even like it when you run the vacuum. I feel like they would run away if he'd got the shop back out and try to. Have y' all seen that where the guys will like put the hair, suck up the hair in the shop vac and then the scrunchies on the shop vac already and slides it down.

[Dale Jr.]

Interesting.

[Travis]

Dale's got some now. He's gonna try it.

[Dale Jr.]

I need to make sure the shop vac's clean. It ain't right now.

[Amy]

No. It would be a disaster.

[Dale Jr.]

We need just a. Maybe just a small shop back for just hair.

[Amy]

A hair back.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah. I like doing the hair. I like doing those type of things. I like, I like it. I don't want to do it. It's not fun to do it. Putting hair up in a ponytail is hard to do. Kelly or Kelly's better at it. Amy's better at it. I'm. I'm a guy. I don't know how to do it. I've never done it before, so it's, you know, it. But I do like to show my girls that I'm capable, you know, and I kind of just like everything else. You want to show them that you're.

[Amy]

We'll try.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah. They need to trust that you can. You can be there for them and do things for them. And so.

[Amy]

But that's where we draw the line. There's no curling anything. There's no braiding. No.

[Dale Jr.]

Hell yeah. I wouldn't know how to braid hair. I don't want to learn. Don't make me learn that.

[Travis]

We need a Dale YouTube channel where he teaches other dads how to do.

[Amy]

How to do hairstyles.

[Dale Jr.]

Girl.

[Travis]

Things for the kids.

[Amy]

Oh, that'd be fun. No, we need submissions. Yeah, that, you know, things to paint their fingernails. Oh, I feel like he'd be good at that.

[Dale Jr.]

I probably have done that.

[Amy]

You have.

[Dale Jr.]

Remember, they.

[Amy]

Well, he won't. He won't let them paint his fingernails.

[Dale Jr.]

No.

[Amy]

And they asked to put makeup on him and he says no, he won't do it.

[Dale Jr.]

No.

[Amy]

I see people do like the Rock let his daughter put makeup all over

[Dale Jr.]

his face just so he could put it on Instagram.

[Amy]

Yeah, you're right.

[Dale Jr.]

He wouldn't. He ain't doing that unless he's put it on Instagram.

[Amy]

Yeah, that's still fun to watch.

[Dale Jr.]

All right,

[Travis]

next question is, who is somebody living that you haven't seen that you want to see in concert?

[Dale Jr.]

They're still alive.

[Travis]

Yeah. So, like, Elvis is not an answer.

[Amy]

Lynyrd Skynyrd. That would be who else? I wish I had seen the Stones when they came to town. They were here a couple years ago. Somebody I want to see. Ella Langley. She's coming to town, too.

[Travis]

I mean, you have to, being a Texas girl.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah, Amy's a big fan of hers.

[Amy]

Lainey Wilson. I did get to see her recently. She was fabulous.

[Travis]

I saw her open for Luke Combs.

[Amy]

You did?

[Travis]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Luke's great.

[Dale Jr.]

Is really great. I would like to see. Oh, it probably be Blink 182.

[Amy]

Blink 182.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Yeah, that would be good.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Travis]

Eminem would be up there. My childhood.

[Amy]

Yes, that would be fab.

[Dale Jr.]

Mine would be a rock or something like that.

[Amy]

Mine's always country. Kind of go lean towards country.

[Travis]

All right, next question is how long in a road trip can you ask to stop for a restroom break?

[Amy]

Oh, man, I feel like you need at least a three hour drive.

[Dale Jr.]

Wow. I mean, I'd be. I wouldn't. I wouldn't judge if it was an hour and a half.

[Amy]

I would like. You should have done that before you got in the car. Quit drinking all them sodas.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah, I don't.

[Amy]

I think, you know, we go down to the beach house and it's about three and a half hours and if I don't give the girls full water cups, like, if I give them or if I keep them up front, then sometimes we don't have to stop at all. But if we have to stop, that's like a whole 45 to an hour. Now they want to get a snack. Now they're.

[Dale Jr.]

Y' all are gonna laugh.

[Amy]

We have an adventure sideline. Adventure, you know what I mean? And it just makes the drive that much longer.

[Dale Jr.]

We. We're just trying to figure out the parenting thing. So we weren't always getting everything right. But we had this Suburban that we drive down to the beach and take the kids down there. About three and a half hour drive. And I. And we would have one them little. Little kid parties in the back.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

And if they had to pee, we just pull over on the side of the road and go. And let them go in the car. And because there's no rest areas anymore.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

You know. Yeah.

[Amy]

And they're tiny. It was easy for them to do that and we could keep going.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah. Then they got older. It's one of the things they kind of grew out of, which sucks.

[Amy]

Yeah. The last time we went down to the beach, Nicole had to go to the bathroom, and we weren't close to any.

[Dale Jr.]

Oh, my God, that sucked.

[Amy]

And I turned around and she's, like, almost in tears. I was like, oh, my gosh, are you okay? She goes, I have to go to the bathroom really bad. I couldn't go.

[Dale Jr.]

Like a failure of a parent.

[Amy]

Well, I didn't know you really had to go. But, you know, sometimes they just want to stop to get candy and, you know, see what they can get out of the gas station.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah. She was very. She was so uncomfortable and. Yeah.

[Amy]

Yeah, that was bad. That was a bad parent.

[Dale Jr.]

Yep. Oops.

[Travis]

And they probably wait till last second to tell you.

[Amy]

They do. They never tell you with, like, any time to spare. So that's another part of the problem. But, yeah, we figured it out. Poor kid.

[Travis]

Next question. Amy, is what's your favorite kind of plant to have at the house outside, like springtime to have?

[Amy]

I like hydrangeas because they're just so. They get so big and full and they bloom all summer long.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy]

I have some peonies that I'm obsessed with. I put those in the planter bed going out to the girls playset, and those come back every year. And they're really nice, but they only bloom once. And I did cut them. We have those all around the front tree as well. And I cut them and Put them in a vase inside and didn't check inside to see if there were any critters in them. And so I put them all in the water, walked away, came back about 30 minutes later, and there was little tiny bugs all over the dining table. So I have never cut those again to bring them in the house because they were. That was hard to fix. That was a hard. They've scattered everywhere.

[Travis]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Have you ever seen those?

[Dale Jr.]

No. No.

[Amy]

I don't even know what kind of bugs they were, but they hide down in the middle of the flowers. I like all flowers, but, you know, I like the ones that bloom over and over again, so the hydrangeas are good.

[Dale Jr.]

I like low maintenance stuff. What do they call it? Evergreen? Yeah. Good all year.

[Amy]

Dale likes a boxwood.

[Dale Jr.]

Put it in. Put it in the ground. Don't mess with it.

[Amy]

We recently put in some cactus at the front because it's. It's blazing sun, and so there's prickly pear growing all over the place.

[Dale Jr.]

Now we got cactus. I know.

[Travis]

You could grow that.

[Amy]

What says I married a Texas.

[Dale Jr.]

They survived the winter. Remember, it snowed like crazy this past. Yeah. They're still digging.

[Amy]

Yeah. They're getting a lot of plants.

[Travis]

Amy, do you ever think about, like, getting a garden?

[Amy]

Yes, I thought about getting a garden.

[Travis]

I like that first. Before you get your chickens.

[Amy]

I feel like that needs to be in the same space. A garden and a chicken coop.

[Dale Jr.]

Are you talking about garden on the ground or garden in the wooden box?

[Amy]

Probably raised beds.

[Dale Jr.]

Raised beds? Yeah, that's. That's a little smaller footprint, which I like.

[Amy]

Well, I want to make it big.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah. But I know mom had a couple of those.

[Amy]

I know. Yeah, we. We did that together.

[Dale Jr.]

Crazy stuff y' all grew in there was robust. Like, it grew really well.

[Amy]

It grew really well.

[Dale Jr.]

It seems more manageable than actually, like, plot of land that you're, you know, putting groves of corn down.

[Amy]

I'm not trying to till land, Rob.

[Dale Jr.]

Okay, I was hoping not, because I was probably going to be the.

[Amy]

You're gonna have to get on the tractor and do it. Oh, Lord. Maybe we could use the donkeys.

[Dale Jr.]

Chickens, Amy, Chickens.

[Travis]

What would you grow?

[Amy]

Just plants.

[Travis]

What vegetables or. What would you want?

[Amy]

I mean, everything. Tomatoes, tomatoes, cucumbers, all the herbs. Yeah, sprinkle herbs. And Dale's tomatoes.

[Dale Jr.]

Be cool. So much tomato sandwiches.

[Amy]

I've never had a tomato sandwich ever.

[Dale Jr.]

My goodness.

[Amy]

I mean, I've had a blt, but not like just straight tomato.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah, you gotta do tomato, salt and pepper mayo.

[Amy]

Yeah, you have Some weird combinations for sandwiches. Between that and then mayonnaise and bananas.

[Dale Jr.]

That was just.

[Amy]

It's just like a mush.

[Dale Jr.]

Very. Like in 1974. That was a really nice, cheap lunch.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Travis]

All right, I've got an idea. I'll try the liver mush if you try the tomato sandwich on one of our next shows.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Deal.

[Dale Jr.]

Oh, man. Yes.

[Amy]

You're gonna get the fresh white bread where it gets stuck to the roof of your mouth.

[Travis]

Whatever.

[Dale Jr.]

No, no, we'll sleep it to him plain. A little mustard. No bread.

[Amy]

Do you like mustard?

[Travis]

I hate mustard.

[Amy]

Oh, well, it's gonna be torture.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Fabulous.

[Dale Jr.]

He'll love it. We'll sleep. We'll do it plain. We'll just.

[Amy]

Is anyone in the audience like liver mush? Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

So good.

[Amy]

Gotta get it really crispy.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Delicious. I swore I would never try liver mush, and one day I did, and I was like, oh, this is really good.

[Dale Jr.]

It sounds awful. And don't read the package.

[Amy]

Don't read it. But every eating a tamale, you don't want to know what's in the. Was really wrapped up in there.

[Dale Jr.]

Me and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Both like liver mush. We hardly talk, but if he's ever cooking it, he sends me a photo of his liver mush in the frying pan.

[Amy]

That's an odd thing to share.

[Dale Jr.]

We both just like it. And so when we're cooking it, I'll send him a picture.

[Amy]

You think of each other.

[Travis]

Well, it's because you don't have it that often.

[Dale Jr.]

That's what keeps us friends. Our love for Livermore connected with Livermudge.

[Amy]

Okay, for you.

[Travis]

Next question Is Dale's return to the booth. What's the girl's reaction when, like, they hear him on tv? Do they instantly, like, know it's him, or does it take a second?

[Amy]

They do now, but honestly, they don't let me put the race on, so that's a challenge. When he leaves, I have to fight them for the tv. We don't watch a whole lot of TV during the week, so on the weekends, they get to, you know, sit and watch Disney or whatever. And so I have to just remind them that the reason we're here, you know, have this nice home, and because Daddy's working and now he's at the racetrack, we're going to watch it. And so when they go to the racetrack, they totally get it, but on the tv, not so much.

[Dale Jr.]

I have.

[Amy]

He's got a couple of cameos, too, like movies, and we'll put Those. I was just seeing the kids.

[Dale Jr.]

So in Cars, the first Cars movie, I have like one little line in this three, you know, hour and a half, two hour movie. I've got this tiny little line in there. And I will sit with them through the whole movie waiting on that line.

[Amy]

He does, he stares at him, just.

[Dale Jr.]

And looking right at him, going to see this. See if they go, what was that? Who sounded familiar?

[Amy]

And they never do.

[Dale Jr.]

They never do. His heart, he comes and goes and it's like no reaction.

[Amy]

And he'll rewind it. I'm like, you don't need to do this.

[Dale Jr.]

I rewind about four or five times. Y' all hear anything unusual? Nope. What? No.

[Amy]

The only thing he hasn't tried yet is just repeating the line over and over again.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Travis]

Do you know what the line is?

[Dale Jr.]

I don't.

[Amy]

I don't either.

[Dale Jr.]

I mean this is like 20 years ago.

[Travis]

It was one line.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah. One thing that I did one day 20 years ago, I remember going to the studio out on the west coast to, to read the line right where it was. We were going to Sonoma for the race weekend and it was somewhere close or at least on the same side of the country. So they had me and several other people go out to, to, to, to read at their studio. And you walk in and it's this big giant building with all these offices and all these people hustling and bustling around. And we went through this door and behind this door was this giant warehouse. And there were all these. You ever drive down the road and you see the, the guys that are building sheds on the side of the road and they have their sheds for sale. It'll just be something you'd put in the backyard to keep your lawnmower in or whatever. And they'll have all shapes and sizes of sheds on the side of the road. Every town's got two or three of those little, little, little property or little businesses. Those little sheds were, were all over this, this warehouse. And that was where the artists worked and they were ally. They were allowed to do whatever they wanted on the inside of their shed.

[Amy]

And so strange way to work.

[Dale Jr.]

So I'll go into this one guy's shed and he had a speakeasy in the back with a, with poker. And I, you know, there was guys had little bars in the back of theirs and they had a little secret door. And Yeah, I mean, they were super creative inside. It was so fun.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

And that's their work environment every day.

[Amy]

That's pretty cool.

[Dale Jr.]

Like, we want to take a break, go hang out in the lounge out back. It's just this tiny little room, like no bigger than two of these squares right here. And, you know, they made it work. It was so fun to see how the business allowed them to kind of do whatever they wanted to just create.

[Amy]

And you. That was your takeaway from the whole thing, was the sheds?

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah. Like, hey, man, this guy's got roulette back here. We can play roulette.

[Amy]

You weren't. You weren't even there to work. You're like, I want to just see all the sheds.

[Dale Jr.]

I'm like, damn, I want the job. I want a job here.

[Amy]

I want a shed tear.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Amy]

That would have been neat to see. This is back before iPhones too. So you didn't have any pictures, did you?

[Travis]

No, I missed those times.

[Amy]

Yeah, it was. It was very free, that's for sure. I'm so glad I got through college without iPhones. All these kids now with all these. All the evidence. Yes, man, we really looked out there.

[Dale Jr.]

No, we did.

[Travis]

I deleted all my, like, Facebook photos when I graduated college.

[Amy]

You did?

[Travis]

I wish I would have backed them up, though.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Oh, you don't even have them?

[Travis]

No, I just deleted them.

[Dale Jr.]

Dumb.

[Amy]

I feel like they're in the universe somewhere. Facebook still has them. Deleted that cloud over there, they're net cloud.

[Travis]

I deleted my Twitter account, created a new one.

[Dale Jr.]

I was like, new.

[Amy]

Whole new beginning.

[Dale Jr.]

Damn, man. What were you running from?

[Amy]

I kind of want to see your pictures now, too. What did you do?

[Travis]

Yeah, we had some fun. It was like I would graduate right when, like, the iPhone was, like, coming out.

[Sponsor Announcer]

Yeah.

[Travis]

Last two years, you could take photos and stuff.

[Dale Jr.]

So it was. What was the first app? Remember we got our phones, our iPhones, and. And they're like, you can put apps on these things, games or whatever. I got the beer drinking one. Remember the beer drinking? When you turned it up, you pretend like you were drinking a beer on the screen.

[Amy]

Looked like a beer can.

[Dale Jr.]

99.99 for that. Just to.

[Amy]

Just to look.

[Dale Jr.]

Do that a couple times.

[Travis]

I miss the days of buying ringtones.

[Dale Jr.]

I wonder how much the guy, the beer beer app guy made off that thing.

[Amy]

He's probably doing pretty well, man.

[Dale Jr.]

I'm sure he spent it by now,

[Amy]

but he spent all of his money. Maybe he's making new apps. Yeah, I remember looped. Do you remember doing yes.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Tracking each other, basically is all you were doing.

[Travis]

So we got about two minutes left here, so let's be quick with this one. There it is. One more question is at what point in relationship should you offer a spare key?

[Amy]

Oh, dang.

[Travis]

Two minutes.

[Amy]

That's a.

[Dale Jr.]

That's a great question. I'm glad you had a good one for the end.

[Amy]

I feel like that's.

[Dale Jr.]

Spare key.

[Amy]

Amy, when you move in, like, you don't get a key till you move in.

[Dale Jr.]

Whoa.

[Amy]

Yeah. You're not just gonna come in and hang out when I'm not there, which why are you coming over if the door's locked?

[Dale Jr.]

Well, maybe I'm getting there before you.

[Amy]

No.

[Dale Jr.]

You know, maybe you're working late.

[Amy]

No, you're not.

[Dale Jr.]

And I'm like, hey, I'm hang out of your coming to stay. I'll be there early. No hide a key. Nothing.

[Amy]

Well, maybe there's a Hide a key, but it's not yours to take home. No, I feel like you don't get a key till you move in. Am I right with that?

[Dale Jr.]

Is that man?

[Amy]

I feel like that's a good standard. You can't just be giving keys out. All right. I like to change and you want your keys.

[Dale Jr.]

I like to show my trust. My trust is building. Here's a key.

[Amy]

No, that's too much responsibility.

[Dale Jr.]

Really?

[Amy]

Yeah. Because then you especially be like, here's a key. If you want to have dinner ready by five, that'll be great. You know, it's going to come with baggage and rules and all kinds of things.

[Dale Jr.]

Well, I don't know. I think. Yeah. I'm not good at relationships. I guess you taught me how to do everything so well.

[Amy]

I don't know if I'm doing it right, especially with the way that we're raising our children. There's a lot of touch and go moments.

[Travis]

She's the criminal.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Yeah, that's right. You go back to that light situation.
