Amy Earnhardt
Hey, guys, it's Amy Earnhardt and my husband, Dale Jr. We're here in the Dirty Mo Media Studios for our second episode of Bless yous Heart.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
The following is a production of Dirty Mo Media.
Amy Earnhardt
Bless your heart. Oh, yeah. This is the way it's going to be, girl. We're going to hang out.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Oh, you look amazing. I could stare at you all day. Are you kidding?
Amy Earnhardt
I couldn't believe it. What's going on? The world is not your trash can.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I slept till two, smoking cigarettes and drinking amp energy.
Amy Earnhardt
Lord have mercy.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Foreign. Hey, everybody, it's Dale Jr. And we are back again after a week off with another episode of Bless your Heart with my wife, Amy.
Amy Earnhardt
How's it going?
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah, it's going good.
Amy Earnhardt
You seem a little on one this morning.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah. Hey, I think to come in here and do the podcast, like, the energy is important.
Amy Earnhardt
Yes.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
And. And so I don't. And so I try to, like, kind of find a way to get in that mood before I come on to do dirty air and stuff like that, but sometimes it don't always happen, but.
Amy Earnhardt
Well, I'm glad Mike was in here this morning.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah, we had a mood. We had. Yeah, we had a good 10 minutes. Warm up. Of giving each other a hard time. I don't know. You know, that's part of my personality. I can't shake it.
Amy Earnhardt
Yeah, I know. And it really never shows its face until it's like, in your face. There's no lead up, like, oh, he might be ornery today. Until, like, you're just blatantly. Yeah, yeah.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
And like, I don't like talking about myself, but I think I do want to talk about this.
Amy Earnhardt
Okay.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah. So listen, when I come into the room and I get like that, I'm not really mad and I'm not really annoyed.
Amy Earnhardt
You just want attention.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I just want. Not attention. I just want. I was. I wish. So I was mad at Mike because he didn't stay for the Daytona 500, but his w. But his daughter's 16th birthday is this week, and so he came home to do that. But then I turn on the Instagram and he's in here putting a ball around on the floor during the rain delay Sunday. And I thought, well, damn, I thought you went home for your kid's birthday. But you're. So.
Amy Earnhardt
You thought he was just home playing and goofing off.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I'm just like, you know, man, we're all in this emotional moment down here in Daytona, and he's a very, very important part of all of it, all of it. Right. And sometimes I get this idea that he's sort of removed himself from the. From the racing side of it, working on the media side of it and Dirty Mo Media. And he's less. How the racing goes up, you know, how it performs, good or bad, or how our seasons flow are less important in terms of, you know, he want. He wants. His whole focus is Dirty Mo Media. Right. That's a whole nother conversation, which I don't. I think that's great. I want Dirty Mo Media to succeed. And I was like, gosh, I wish he would have stayed. But, you know, I'm not really mad. I don't really. I want him to be home for his daughter, but he opens the door for me to give him a little bit of a hard time.
Amy Earnhardt
But I think he likes it. He loves the banter between the two of you.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
But I just. I guess I. I don't want people to. I guess I don't want people that were in this room or even Mike or you. And maybe you know me by now, but I'm not really annoyed.
Amy Earnhardt
I know. Dale, I tried to tell you this. Last time we had this conversation is. You like drama, and you refuse to.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Admit that something about that, for me, is actually fun.
Amy Earnhardt
Exactly. You like to poke at people, and you like drama, and Mike is smiling, and so you feel like I'm trying.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
To say something that might make Dalton laugh or Tim's laugh.
Amy Earnhardt
Yeah. Or you're clowning everybody. Yes. I see you. I have seen you for years.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
All right, well, I don't want anybody to think that I'm genuinely a jerk or just really, really annoyed.
Amy Earnhardt
Well, Mike's the only one you need to talk to about that. Just make sure his feelings aren't hurt. Cause y'all are both sensitive to a degree. Well, he's.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
He's fine. I mean, it's okay if he's. He's not sure what's going on, but.
Amy Earnhardt
You like leaving him hanging out a little bit.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Well, I mean, I will make sure that he knows it's not personal, but I think he know.
Amy Earnhardt
Okay. That's right. He's been around for a while, so he should know.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I gave him a hard time, but that's kind of part of my personality.
Amy Earnhardt
I know.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
So we have. We took a week off because we were in Daytona.
Amy Earnhardt
We did.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Did you?
Amy Earnhardt
Daytona was an epic event of its own.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
First off, the first show, I was really happy with it.
Amy Earnhardt
Yeah.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I thought the reaction to it was better than I expected. I thought people were like. Cause I Thought a lot of people were. I'll read social comments sometimes. And when we announced about the show, they were like, you know, Dirty Mo Media's got so much stuff, more stuff. Now.
Amy Earnhardt
Where did you read that?
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Just listen. Just hear me out.
Amy Earnhardt
This is why I'm not reading comments.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Right. Don't.
Amy Earnhardt
I'm not on X or Twitter.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
And they're like. They're like, well, you know, and. And the, The. There's some people. There's some people that are, like, not sure what this was going to be about, you know, And I think a lot of people that listened were really, really happy and surprised with the nature of the conversation and the tone. And it's completely different than other stuff that I do on Dirty Mo Media. So I don't see it as a rep. You know, sort of this repetition of a Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. It's just the same conversation around, racing over and over and over again. So I think for us, this. If it's a completely different. Different audience that likes this, that's good. That's okay. Sure. You know, everybody that listens to or watches our content around, like, for example, Dirty Air, if they don't want to, you know, if they sing their cup of tea, that's fine. We're not really trying to go after them. They're already in the tent, you know. But I was really happy with the way people reacted to it and especially a lot of people in our own. People we know.
Amy Earnhardt
Yeah. So I'm careful to read the comments. I'll read a couple.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
And then you got some messages from friends.
Amy Earnhardt
I did.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Both did. We were in those group texts. People were going, you know, people were texting us. I listened to that. It was awesome.
Amy Earnhardt
Yeah. They think it's funny. I'm glad I've. That's all I'm hoping for is that we can just banter and be our.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah.
Amy Earnhardt
You know, kind of talking selves and. And people will enjoy that because that's. We talk in sarcasm most of the time.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
We could have done a show if we tried. We could have found some time to throw an hour together, but it would.
Amy Earnhardt
Have been very hard.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
It wouldn't have been fun. This. We built this little basic space right here. This is our corner. This is our. These are our trees.
Amy Earnhardt
Our space is in progress.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I don't like. I don't like doing. I get like. I get like very stubborn or kind of locked in on, like I'm doing it here or nowhere. Like, I like, like our. Our dirty air too. Like, I want that table and I want it exactly in that position and I want to be right. I want. That's where I'm doing it. And I'm. There's no other option.
Amy Earnhardt
Yeah.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Like for, for example, today, it was snowing this morning and nobody was driving. And we were trying to figure out how our kids weren't going to school. We got one with a fever and, and can some. How can we get somebody to, to be at the house to, to watch them while we come here to this show? Right. We were thinking, well, maybe we'll do the show tomorrow, maybe we won't do the show. But there was. And we weren't gonna do it on, you know, on the couch at our house. I, like, I wanted it to be here.
Amy Earnhardt
Yeah, I did too. So to your point, I don't. I think the environment needs to be stable for it to be.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
So we didn't do one last week because we were in Daytona.
Amy Earnhardt
Right. There's just always a lot going on when we're at the racetrack and we.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Did have a lot going on Daytona. What'd you think about all that?
Amy Earnhardt
I thought it was incredible. You know, I really didn't understand the magnitude.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Really.
Amy Earnhardt
Forgive me. No, I'm not in this building. No, no, no. Not Daytona, the 500, just JRM having a car in that race. Until I got to the racetrack on Wednesday night and then got to go to the garage and see.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
You weren't gonna go. What made you go? You're like, I'm not going.
Amy Earnhardt
I just always feel like I'm in the way. I've always felt like that going to the racetrack with you. I didn't want to sit on the pit box because I was in the way. I mean, these guys are working, working, and I don't need to be in that space just looking around, you know what I mean? I feel like a race fan and I feel like I'm in the way. It's just as far as it goes, you know, I don't think past that. I just don't want to be a nuisance in the way. Look like I'm trying to get attention. And I was excited that I went because I got to meet some people that you worked with that I hadn't met before. Everyone's just always like, so nice and full of stories and all that. I almost got like, I got choked up with hearing the stories from all the guys about, you know, just full circle moments. It really got me choked up because they were so emotional and so excited about it. But it was cool. I mean, I'M excited for jrm. I hope that you guys can do that again. And even Justin and his parents, like, they were all so nervous, but it was cool to see that and I'm glad you talked me into going. But I also took the kids to Disney the next morning, so it was kind of my only shot to really.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yes.
Amy Earnhardt
That was the. See it before Disney was good. I went with Tamla Majors, TJ's wife, and she plans Disney trips.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
That's her job.
Amy Earnhardt
It's like a side job, so she.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Works from home, helping plan trips for other families.
Amy Earnhardt
She does that as like a side hustle because she's gone to Disney her entire life and just loves Disney so much. So anyway, she's like taking the sensei with you. I had no worries except for just what type of temper tantrums our kids were gonna throw. So it was easy, it was fun. And the girls had a BL. We walked like literally 10 miles a day a lot. And I had three kids in a double bob stroller pushing them around. So, like, really got a good workout in, I feel like. But we got to do everything we wanted to do and it was successful.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I saw this video that Tamla took on a roller coaster.
Amy Earnhardt
Yeah.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
With Nicole. Yes.
Amy Earnhardt
So we went on this like, small little roller coaster in Magic Kingdom.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
She filmed it. So you see Nicole like go through this experience and you can see, I want to play it. You see this look on 4 year old Nicole's face of. I know I'm supposed to be excited about this. Tamla says this is going to be great. I think it's going to be great. But then there as she's sort of coming up on heels and the movement and the. She's like, sees things and gets scared.
Amy Earnhardt
Yeah.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
And then gets happy and then scared again. Like, you can see all this.
Amy Earnhardt
Literally the roller coaster emotion she's on.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah.
Amy Earnhardt
You kind of never been in anything where her stomach's felt like that.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Right.
Amy Earnhardt
And she's a daredevil anyway, so she was excited to do it, even though she could see the ride before she.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Got on that was that. Watching that video, man, I was so jealous. Or I wanted to be. I was like, gosh, man, I wish I was Tamla. Right. Riding beside her. But that point of view was just amazing to see.
Amy Earnhardt
It was. It was impressive. She was able to hold her phone like that and take that video. I was riding with Isla, which. It was her first time in the road behind him. I was. No, I was in the car behind him. That's what I mean, Madeline and, uh, no Madeline. Stella rode together behind Tamla, so I was, like, even further back. But Isla had never ridden one either. But I have my phone in my backpack. I didn't think to sit there and videotape her. Like, she enjoyed it just as much. Um, she had her arms up. She was woohooing with me. It was fun. It was really fun.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Well, we got back from. You got back to the racetrack on Saturday morning, and we went out for intros for our Xfinity teams. We watched that whole process Sunday, same thing. Went out for intros, went through the whole process of the pre race.
Amy Earnhardt
That pre race was crazy, though.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah. On Sunday.
Amy Earnhardt
Right. The president was there, so everything was locked down. It was just. Yeah. Wild. Perfect word for it.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah.
Amy Earnhardt
It's always very intense. There's always so many people, and in a. In a good way. Yeah, it's very exciting. You can't really. I can't compare the energy to anything. We've been to Super Bowls with NBC to do things like that.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah, it's.
Amy Earnhardt
It's comparable, but it's just so much bigger.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah. The. The president came. Came to the race and made everything, like, 10 times more challenging. All of the drivers were late to the driver's meeting. So the driver's meeting begins, and we're standing there around the. They had the chairs for all the drivers. They had all their names labeled on the chairs for where they would sit. And we're standing there, and the driver's meeting starts. And only about 40% of the drivers were there.
Amy Earnhardt
We got there 30 minutes early, thinking we were going to be early, and we were not. The room was not early enough.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah.
Amy Earnhardt
Everyone had the same idea except for the drivers.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
And any. Any gate that you went through that you had walked through with. With a, you know, just flashing your hard card. Your entire life was a, you know, 75 to 100 person long check.
Amy Earnhardt
Yeah.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Where they're, like, wanding you and buzzing you, you know, walking through.
Amy Earnhardt
Yeah.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Everywhere.
Amy Earnhardt
I mean, you have to take your belt off, your hat, your glasses, all the things.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
We got done with the driver's meeting, and we're like, okay. Well, typically, you get out of the driver's meeting, you got a few minutes, you're like, all right, we'll run back to the camper and. And grab the kids or whatever and head to intros. And they're like, don't go that way. You'll have to get scanned again. You have to go. You should go this way. You won't have to get scanned and so it was just a.
Amy Earnhardt
We had to go out and get scanned again. Yeah, to go get. It was a lot of fun. A lot of people did make it in for intros because of that.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah, they were like a sea of people out in front of the racetrack. Not able to get in because it was taking so long to scan people and check things and gosh, you can't.
Amy Earnhardt
Really prepare for that type of process.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
You know, the race was great. We had some rain delays and stuff like that. But yeah, rain delays are fung in there.
Amy Earnhardt
Rain delays always not fun. They're not fun but they, they enable.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I don't mind them so much, but I know it's probably like you're ready to go home, you got kids to get to school and I don't know.
Amy Earnhardt
I've learned to just make the best of it. We used to play card games or whatever. I got on my phone and started. I had taken pictures of. And I know this is not your favorite thing. Took a picture of RC's rear end while we were standing there in the driver's meeting and I'm like, oh, okay. This is kind of fun. It's a fun challenge. I'm gonna see how many pictures of these butts I can get and see if I can get anybody on social media to guess whose rear end it is.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I come in there to sit down and you're like, you're like scheming and laughing and I'm like, what is going on? You're like, I took a bunch of pictures of everybody's asses and I'm going to go guess. Your ass game gets the ass game on Instagram. Unless you think it's.
Amy Earnhardt
Well, I showed him to you and I wanted you to help me. And you're like, I can't.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
You were like, think of, I need clues clue for. For Josh Berry and like I'm a fruit. Was like the only thing I could think of and. Or you thought of that and then you're like, think of a clue for Michael Waltrip. And I just can't do this.
Amy Earnhardt
I know. I was texting with Tim and he was helping me. I thought it was funny. I mean, I hope I didn't offend anybody. Corey Lajoie responded and he didn't mind. I had a lot of interaction. There were all these. So my following on Instagram is like 30 to 50 year old women for the most part. And so I know my audience and I played into it and they knew exactly who all of these men's butts were. RC's comments were amazing.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah.
Amy Earnhardt
Yes. A lot of meows, a lot of things like that. And Corey Lajoie, too. His picture was blurry and people knew what. What his butt was. So I thought it was fun, But I don't know. I'm weird like that. I wasn't doing it for anything other than just pure humor.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I thought it was fine. I thought it was good.
Amy Earnhardt
You got a little jealous.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah. Of course. I didn't see my picture of my ass on there.
Amy Earnhardt
You had your shirt out. And I tried. I told you, I tried. I was gonna even just lift it up and take a picture. But no, you were not available. Your butt wasn't available that day.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
All right, well, that was. Daytona, was great. We got home right back to reality. Sick kids and school delays and snow. It's been snowing all week. It's crazy.
Amy Earnhardt
I mean, I really like it.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Does it? I do. I don't mind it, but it's hard.
Amy Earnhardt
To prepare for anything.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
But we don't usually get snow. Yeah, like, for a steady day and a half, two days.
Amy Earnhardt
No, it's a surprise. For sure.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
It's a bit of a surprise. But we're doing. We're doing it. We're having fun. Kids are going to sled later today. I was thinking about putting Isla behind the. The gator and towing her around real slow.
Amy Earnhardt
So the last time you did that, I was on the sled with her and we slid underneath. I know, the buggy. So we're going to have to be careful. We did do that, but she remembers doing that. She was talking about it earlier. She's like, don't remember. When we went down the hill by the. By Whiskey River. I was like, yes, I do.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Maybe I'll take her to a hill and tow her up and let her sled down and tow her up. Just do that.
Amy Earnhardt
You can do it by the little track.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah. Yes. That's perfect.
Amy Earnhardt
Yeah, it's a big hill. We missed talking about Valentine's Day. We kind of missed Valentine's Day.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I want Valentine's Day. Oh, my gosh. That just came and went.
Amy Earnhardt
Yeah, it sure did.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Damn.
Amy Earnhardt
Valentine's Day was canceled at our house. I guess the girls got Valentine's, but you and I didn't. So I actually bought you candy usually, but I didn't give it to you because you didn't do anything. So I'm like, you know what? I'll keep this for myself.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Usually we go. So when we were having Valentine's Day in the past, we would Be in Daytona for speed weeks. And we would basically take ourselves to the local gas station and individually, one at a time, run in and get. Or groceries or drugstores.
Amy Earnhardt
Kenny would drive us to the Walgreens or something.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
This was our tradition.
Amy Earnhardt
Yeah.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
And we would go in there and get stuff. Just. Just a, you know, the cheese. This cheesy Valentine crap out of the drugstore.
Amy Earnhardt
Yeah.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
And then give it to each other in the bus.
Amy Earnhardt
We'd surprise each other. Yeah. Do you remember the year that I think it was. I forget which PR guy was.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I wasn't sure if we were. I wasn't sure how much Valentine's Day was necessary.
Amy Earnhardt
Well, I mean, you know, I don't feel like it's a super important holiday, but I guess we should do something to acknowledge our love for each other. Maybe we should go to dinner.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I'm doing that every day.
Amy Earnhardt
Oh, yeah. Spreading the love.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I know. Like, it's hard to make another. It's hard. I'm doing it so well.
Amy Earnhardt
Yeah.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Every day.
Amy Earnhardt
You sure are.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
It's hard to like, make one day.
Amy Earnhardt
Stand out in love all day.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
It's hard to make this one day stand out amongst the others. They're so amazing.
Amy Earnhardt
You're nuts.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Hey, this is Dale Jr. And for the latest Bless yous Heart gear, go to shop.dirtymomedia.com We've got plenty of options for everybody and adding new stuff every day. Go to shop.dirtymomedia.com I went. We went and had a fantasy football dinner where we took our trophy and celebrated our winner. You have a fantasy football league. You guys probably do four to six dinners a year throughout the calendar year. Right.
Amy Earnhardt
It's not usually the full group.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
It's a rough age.
Amy Earnhardt
We try to get together. Yes.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Y'all get together. Me and my guys, we get together once, maybe twice. We might pre. Pre. We might get together and pre. Drink the season. And then we're going to celebrate the champion. And we finally got together. We had postponed our dinner for a couple different reasons. People couldn't get there or the champion couldn't make or whatever. Right. Yeah. So we finally had our dinner. We went to the. This bar that's literally at the end of my driveway. It's four miles from the house. And we. It was great. We had beers and then we came home and you know, and I didn't feel any less unwound, honestly. I mean, that was over with.
Amy Earnhardt
When we had our fantasy football crowning dinner. I was up to like 2 in the morning.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah. I didn't Feel any more unwound. Like, it didn't.
Amy Earnhardt
Like, maybe you should start enjoying. You should come hang out with my friends. You might have.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I probably would enjoy that even if I didn't sit at the table. I could just sit any. You know, somewhere else in the.
Amy Earnhardt
Like a creeper staring at us.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
No, not staring at you, but I could just go sit at the end of the bar and just chill and just think and do what I want to do. Well, I don't want to interrupt your girl's deal. They're not going to want that. A dude at the table.
Amy Earnhardt
Well, I mean, you're not just a dude, and you've been friends with most of these people's entire life.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I know, but maybe the first time I just go sit at the end of the bar.
Amy Earnhardt
That would be weird. I'm going to really just say that. Yes. If I. Even if I follow you, if I accompanied you to an outing with your buddies, but I sat silently in the corner of the room.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Y'all go to a restaurant and you eat, and then you end up at a dive bar. That I get. I envy. Like, I'm. Damn. I want. I wish I was, you know, at. That.
Amy Earnhardt
We sat at the restaurant for four hours, so we made that into a bar.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Why don't you drop me off at the dive bar? You're going to eventually end up.
Amy Earnhardt
Why don't. I don't really know that. I don't really plan these events, so it's. That's why it's fun. Because there's no plans.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
That's right.
Amy Earnhardt
It just develops the way it happens.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I'm not going. This is a bad idea. Let's talk about FanDuel.
Amy Earnhardt
Okay.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
All right. So we. This is a. You know, this is not an ad because we do have a fanduel partnership here at Dirty Mo Media, but similar to how. Similar to how excited I was when you wanted to get in fantasy football the other day. You were like, make me a fanduel account. And it was for the Super Bowl. And I was like, damn. All right. She's like, I want to bet on the game. Right?
Amy Earnhardt
Yeah, that's right.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
You bet on the Eagles to win. They won. You made. You know.
Amy Earnhardt
Yeah. So I'm like, if I go to Vegas, I want to put it all on black. I'm not putting it all over the table. So I wanted to say just to.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Play a win or lose. Yeah. Yeah. And so you had a great experience, and then you were gifted 200 in bonus.
Amy Earnhardt
Yeah. So they don't. They gave me $200 in bonus bets for my small little winnings. They're like, okay, Amy, come on back. And so I. I. What do you call it? Ghosted.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
They expire in seven days.
Amy Earnhardt
They expire in seven days. So as soon as we get back from Daytona, I have, like, hours, an hour, whatever, to do my bets. And so instead of trying to put too much thought into it, I basically just copied all of Tim's bets.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah, Tim had a parlay.
Amy Earnhardt
Yeah, it's parlay. I've won two of the three. It was fun. I was. I was really, really hoping that the hockey team would pull that last one off.
C
Yeah. Yeah. We were a day ahead. So they. I didn't know they were going to bench all their players, and that was a bad look for us. They still almost won, and they had players out.
Amy Earnhardt
But I told Dale, I was telling him this yesterday. I stayed up to watch all three of the periods, and I didn't watch the fourth one because I was tired. He's like, amy, there are only three. I was like, oh, well. Then I saw them.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
She's like, oh, man, I'm tired. Third period's over. Hopefully they win. I'm. That's the end of the game.
C
Law and Order is on now. But that's.
Amy Earnhardt
Yeah, I didn't get that far. I didn't get into the commercial.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Game's over.
Amy Earnhardt
Clearly, I was tired.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah.
Amy Earnhardt
Anyway, I have a fanduel account, and I'm going to dabble, and I think it will be fun. So I'm going to learn a lot about sports that I've never heard of.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Travis gave me a hard time for making this type of a bet, but what I thought you should have done with your bonus bets, because I was sitting there. We were. We were in Florida. You can't. There's no right.
Amy Earnhardt
You can't. You can't bet.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
So we're at an estate, and I'm like, crap, we gotta hurry home. And then the rain delay, and I'm like, we're not gonna get to use your bonus bets. You're gonna lose them. 200 bucks. My idea was to basically just take the bonus bets and make a very easy winnable bet to turn the $200 of fake money into, like, at least 150 to $200 real money.
Amy Earnhardt
Right. Like, just make us put it in the bank. Yeah, yeah.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
You don't have to. And you tell him. Which was, like, gonna pay out 350 if you won, which is great. But it was not. It was a harder Bet to win.
Amy Earnhardt
I know, but it wasn't my money. So it was just like.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
It's free money.
Amy Earnhardt
It's free money.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
You watched the hockey game that you would have never watched.
Amy Earnhardt
Right?
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Right. And like, Canada and USA play tonight. Huge game.
C
Huge game.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
How that. How the NHL broke the secret code to making an All Star format exciting is one. Is a hell of a story.
C
Oh, yeah.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Hell of a story.
C
Incredible.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
But, like, I'm more excited about the specific game that they're going to play tonight than any other game in the NHL will have all year, even the finals. So you can bet on it. I doubt it because it's such an even tough. I mean, I might put a little money on usa, but it's. I like to bet like a sure thing.
Amy Earnhardt
Maybe I will. Tim's.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah, maybe if you do, then I will. Because it'll make it fun that we're both invested in the same thing.
Amy Earnhardt
You're still invested. You're, like, sitting next to me on the couch like you're still kind of invested.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah, but I'm telling you what you wouldn't.
Amy Earnhardt
And if I lose you. Oh, I told you.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
No, no. You wouldn't believe what $5 will do. You don't know, man. $5 on a game is a massive difference in investment. Like, in, like, how much you'll enjoy watching it. Watching it. I mean, it don't. I don't know. Maybe not everybody's the same way, but for me, I can bet a damn dollar.
Amy Earnhardt
I know, but what I'm saying is my $5 is still your $5. It's like, kind of.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I mean, but this is. My money's in my little account. Your money's in your little account. You know what I'm saying?
Amy Earnhardt
I know what you're saying. I know what you're saying.
C
It brings up emotions that you didn't think you had towards hockey when you put in.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
No matter how much you put in. I don't even bet big. I don't need to. I don't need to. I have as much fun and it don't matter more. I mean, it actually hate. I actually hate when there's more money on the line. I don't enjoy that.
Amy Earnhardt
Right. It's not enjoyable to lose no more money. So I get that.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Like, I want to bet when I'm okay losing. Right. And I'm pretty cheap. You know that. Sorry, honey.
Amy Earnhardt
Frugal.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Frugal on certain things.
Amy Earnhardt
Yeah. Situational. Situational.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
What is this? Drinking while cooking dinner?
Amy Earnhardt
I don't know. The Internet has been feeding me all kinds of, like, weird memes, some that speak directly to me, I feel like. And I saw a video this guy put together of somebody making. He was making a dirty martini, but putting it on ice. Like he was coming up with going to the moon or something. I'm like, well, no, you put it on ice, Especially if you don't want it to be hot women. I mean, I do this every time I'm cooking dinner. I feel like Julia Child is to blame for this. You have a glass of wine or a cocktail as you're cooking dinner. It makes the whole process more enjoyable. Makes me relax. It gives me something to do while I'm not stirring the pot. You know what I'm saying? So, yeah, I've put ice cubes in my dirty martini and not put it in a martini glass like, a thousand times. And so I just felt like, I don't know. Sometimes you see really, really cool stuff on the Internet. Sometimes you see really, really weird stuff on the Internet, and then sometimes it's just like, that's not your original thought. Why are we sharing that? So that was just kind of.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
This is why I like beer. It's very simple.
Amy Earnhardt
Right. So if you saw somebody making a video about pouring it in a glass.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah.
Amy Earnhardt
Would you be like, no, Sherlock.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Oh, they were trying to be like, hey, innovative new idea.
Amy Earnhardt
Yes.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I'd be like, what the hell? Where's the new idea part?
Amy Earnhardt
Yeah, that's basically what it was.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Speaking of weird stuff. Weird stuff on the Internet. We had. We have this kind of thing. We wanted to do. This. This. It's the best thing I saw on social media.
Amy Earnhardt
Yes.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Okay. And we were supposed to bring anything. It could be anything. Funny, Crazy, interesting show and tell. For the most part, yes. What's yours?
Amy Earnhardt
Oh, well, mine. I put in my story, too. It's. I. My phone feeds me some really fun stuff back to me being weird and maybe what I'm searching or just looking at. So I found this video from the Guinness World Records page. And apparently it is a thing for people to limbo and roller skates. And so when you think of limbo, like you did as a kid, you did that, like, arching backwards, right? So this lady does it on her face, basically on her belly. Like, she's so close to the ground, it's between her and her half inch of roller skate, and her face is turned sideways. So it's like the weirdest thing I've ever seen. Did you watch it?
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah, we're going to.
Amy Earnhardt
Oh, yeah. All right. I know, so that's the thing. Like, there's so many questions. Like, a had. How did her. Her boobs, her suit not have any damage? Like, none. What sparks the thought to try to do that to begin with? Like, how do you even attempt to get into that position from the very first time? Like, I don't understand. I couldn't stop watching it.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
But it's a record. World record.
Amy Earnhardt
It's a world record. She broke.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Maybe she broke her arm.
Amy Earnhardt
So she's not the only one doing this.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
She's got to be. Look how she's holding her ankle.
Amy Earnhardt
I know. It's so bizarre.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yes.
Amy Earnhardt
How this person is, like, inhuman.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah. Pretty wild.
Amy Earnhardt
It is wild. I kind of got in a tailspin or rabbit hole looking at the Guinness page after that. Yeah.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I saw one more that is kind of in line with this. More funnier than anything. Just a lady doing a bass jump. She's just kind of strapped to this guy who does this for a living.
Amy Earnhardt
Is this her first time?
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
This is her first time. So let's take a listen.
C
Shout out tandem bass Moab on Instagram. That's where we found this video.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Need a bass jump.
Amy Earnhardt
Yes.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Oh, I believe that.
Amy Earnhardt
What's going through your head right now? I feel like I should be more scared, but I feel completely safe with you. I'm plenty scared for both of us. She's just trying to talk herself into that. I feel brave and confident. Grit and grace. Let's do this, mother.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I like it. Joey Ming.
Amy Earnhardt
Counting at three.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Jump after you say one. Five. Four.
Amy Earnhardt
Three.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Two. One.
Amy Earnhardt
Oh, God. Yeah.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
You did it, girl.
Amy Earnhardt
Oh, my God. I could never look at this. I did it. You did it.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
You made it look easy.
Amy Earnhardt
I did it.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
You said people didn't think you'd do that.
Amy Earnhardt
Yeah. She was totally terrified. Just would not admit it out loud right now.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Who's having more fun than us? No one right now. There you go, Daniel.
Amy Earnhardt
And now I kind of want to do it.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Queen of the world.
Amy Earnhardt
There you go. Oh, my God. Yeah, they're in Utah. That looks. And just like that, we are on the ground, safe and sound. You can stand on up. Yeah.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
You just made a BASE jump.
Amy Earnhardt
Shook.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
She is.
Amy Earnhardt
I mean, you know how you have those dreams where you're falling off of a building? Have you ever had those? She literally just did that in real life.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah.
Amy Earnhardt
How do you get yourself on the.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Watch somebody go through that?
Amy Earnhardt
Would you ever do that?
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Well.
Amy Earnhardt
Like, how do you trust the parachute? How do you trust the guy? How do you trust all the things.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Oh, well, I mean, I think if I. I think if I'm in her phase of life, I'm doing it.
Amy Earnhardt
Okay.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Not now. My kids are too young. Our kids are too young. I need to have. I've got risk assessment right now. This is. I'm trying.
Amy Earnhardt
Not doing it. I'm just trying anytime soon.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I'm trying to survive for another decade, two decades, without any major issues, and then we can start taking more risks.
Amy Earnhardt
Yeah, okay.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah. Down the road. Once our kids. That's. I'm like, yep, they. They're. They're good. They got it. Once our kids start.
Amy Earnhardt
Then you're going to start just functioning, doing all the extreme sports.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
No, I just. Then I will do anything like that. I feel like I'm BASE jumping. We're doing it. I'll be like, okay, I'm with you.
Amy Earnhardt
Word. I don't know if I'll BASE jump. I don't know if I have the guts to do that.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
All right, we may have another. Another segment of the best thing I saw on social media, another thing that popped up that we were going to talk about, and I'm excited about this. So a friend of mine, probably around. He texted me the other day, and probably around 2014, he had lost his dad, but he texted me and another friend of mine, and he's like, hey, man, I just wanted to let y'all know I still got the voicemails y'all left me the day that my dad passed away, and he took a screenshot of his phone where his voicemails are, and I was like, wow. I was like, dang, dude, That's. That's. That's awesome. And I was like, you know, it was one of the moments where you're like, hey, we're. You're a real friend. Yeah, you too, bud. You know, you're a real dude.
Amy Earnhardt
I care.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah. And so I told you that, and I was like, Because I don't have any phone messages saved. You said you have a few.
Amy Earnhardt
I have a list of messages. The first one, the oldest one, is from you, and it's actually from Sean Brawley's phone because y'all were in Key west. But it's from January 16th, so that's quite a while ago. I have a bunch from my grandmother's, from my mom, just, you know, from 2016. From. Yes, 2016.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Are you gonna play it? Hey, just giving you a call. It's about, I don't know, 3:30 or something like that. We're getting ready to roll through tech.
Amy Earnhardt
Oh, this isn't it?
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
And then we got qualifying. My car is about 10th to 15th fast out of 53, and still pretty fine. But missing you guys pretty, pretty bad. Especially you. Just got so accustomed to you being present during these races and don't really like it when you're not here. I feel like something's missing. But anyways, it's been pretty fun. And keep looking at the. Keep looking at the integrate report right next to it. Waiting on you to walk to it. I love you and miss you. Can't wait to come home. Really can't wait to come home and spend some time together.
Amy Earnhardt
All right, that's not the one I was gonna play. The one I wanted to play is the oldest one. Hang on. This thing's jumping around. Here we go. All right, now, this One is from January 16, 2016, at 10:30 in the morning.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Hey, just Collins say there's breakfast at Harpoon Harry's. I got the Tenderloin Benedict ran through a home voice last night, and that's about all the news I got. Everything's good. Hope you're well. Permission. Talk to you later.
Amy Earnhardt
You said Brad threw up on the porch last night, and that's about all I got.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Oh, my gosh.
Amy Earnhardt
But, yeah, I saved some of those just in case. I want to have your voice just directed at me saved.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Oh, well, I like it. Yeah, well, I.
Amy Earnhardt
You should consider adopting that, just in case.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I wish There's a bunch of.
Amy Earnhardt
I feel like everybody should have.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
At least there's a bunch of voicemails I wish I had saved.
Amy Earnhardt
Yeah.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
What is this? Reveal. What Amy whispered in Dale's ear.
C
There's been a lot of that. You listening? You don't judge what we did two weeks ago. There's been a lot of questions about.
Amy Earnhardt
It on social media, so everybody wants to know the answer.
C
Everyone wants to know what you said.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Did y'all put that clip out?
Amy Earnhardt
No, it was just the end. They didn't put out. It was just me whispering. You whispering?
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah.
Amy Earnhardt
You've been over me.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
You didn't put the clip out of me reacting. Oh, we did.
Amy Earnhardt
Yeah, but not what you didn't do.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
You want to tell them what you did?
Amy Earnhardt
I mean, sure. I don't tell them. I use Dale's beard clippers to shave my bikini line, and I've been doing it for years. I have it on good merit that it's pretty common for women to do this.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
How am I supposed to feel about this? Guys?
Amy Earnhardt
It's.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I don't know what I'm supposed to think Am I supposed to be okay with it? Like, I'm almost. I'm almost impressed, but.
Amy Earnhardt
Because, well, here's the thing. You didn't know, and why should you?
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
What's that little scrape? That little thing?
Amy Earnhardt
Yeah. So you do lots of gross stuff. What is it? That's gross. Like, it's.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
What is it? What is the thing?
Amy Earnhardt
So we have a silicone scrubber thing. What is it for your scalp? It's just supposed to massage your scalp and kind of clean your scalp. And I have that in the shower. I come in the other day, and he's on the bench in the shower, using it to clean the shower head. Tile thing on the ceiling. I'm like, are you cleaning the mold off the thing? And that's. I put that on my phone.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
We get some calcium build up in the shower heads.
Amy Earnhardt
And he wasn't going to tell me he was doing that, but I called.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Him to knock him out. And I'm up there like, yeah, all this out here.
Amy Earnhardt
Yeah.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
You deserve shower head getting good.
Amy Earnhardt
You deserve everything. You get Ralph that water pressure.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Good. And she walks in, and I'm like, oh. She's like, you use that to do that? I'm like. So I got her another one for Christmas, put one in her stocking. This isn't. I feel like it's almost.
Amy Earnhardt
I'm scared to use it, though. It sits in the shower just like the other one. So as forgetful as this man is, I ain't trying it.
C
Yeah. Which one do you use to clean the shower head? Yeah.
Amy Earnhardt
I don't think it's that big of a deal, but I was scared to sit.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I'm over it now, man. The initial reaction, the initial time when I first heard it, I was like.
Amy Earnhardt
There was so much buildup because you were worried it was going to be way bigger than it was, but it.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Was still crazy, is it not?
Amy Earnhardt
It's not.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
It was still. It was still significant.
Amy Earnhardt
I have learned that it's pretty common.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
All right, watch out, guys. Put your trimmers away.
Amy Earnhardt
Yeah. If you leave it on the counter and it's fully charged and ready to rip.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Better hide your trimmers.
Amy Earnhardt
You're setting yourselves up. It's your fault.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Hide your trimmers, guys. You don't know what's going on. What are you. What else are you using? What do you do with my toothbrush?
Amy Earnhardt
I use your tools. I don't use your toothbrush. I don't share toothbrushes.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
All right, well, you might use it for something else I don't know about.
Amy Earnhardt
I Might now.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Oh, goodness.
C
What's this? Black three car update.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Oh yeah, I got that. So we, I. We had a. We had a. A little clip. I think it was on our dirty air Tuesday. And we did some other stuff on social media. There was a gentleman that was a big fan of my dad's that owned one of his race cars that he raced in 1989, 1990, that he willed to me. And this man has passed away. And we got the notice that the car was willed to me and that it was coming. We've signed all the paperwork and done all the legal stuff. And the car showed up on dad's.
Amy Earnhardt
The anniversary of his anniversary of his.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Death of all days. Right. Coincidentally.
Amy Earnhardt
I thought that was amazing. I almost feel like when stuff like that happens, it's cosmic and totally something his dad is involved in.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I got a really great, great friend, a lot of friends at rcr, but Danny Lawrence, who I called and I said, hey, I'm try to figure out what the history is on this car. And I know that RCR has all that great con. Great information. They have it all stored away. They know exactly where this car would have raced. And I went and found the serial number. And at least so stamped on the. On the bar that goes behind the seat will be a serial number. And that serial number that I found is 3, 8 1089. And I believe the 81089 is the data manufacturing on the chassis. And the 3 obviously may represent the 3 car. And so they should be able to go into their archives and see and find that serial number and know where that car raced pretty much every race it ran. There's a gentleman that took care of this car for the man who passed away, who also I'm going to call later today and he should have some information. And we'll see if we can kind of take what he has and what RCR has and get. Get a reasonable understanding of the history of the car.
Amy Earnhardt
Yeah.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
And then. Yeah, then I'll know. I'll probably print that all out, put it in the car and that way we have it and understand.
Amy Earnhardt
What are you gonna do with the car?
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
It's at the house. It's. It's in the dirty dome under. Under a sheet of one of those plastic sheets.
Amy Earnhardt
Are you going to. Does it needed to be fixed up?
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
It's just gonna hang like it is.
Amy Earnhardt
It's just gonna hang.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah.
Amy Earnhardt
You won't bring it here?
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Maybe it may swap out here. I got, you know, I had this glass wall right here behind us. And I Put right now the set in the 1980s. 79, 80 Monte Carlos. That'll probably sit there a couple years, and then maybe I'll bring the lumen over here.
Amy Earnhardt
Cool.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I might have to redecal that aluminum because I think some of the stuff's incorrect. That's what I learned once I learned what. What I like to do is once I learn what race it ran, I'll get a photo of the car from that race, and then I will decal it exactly like that. I'm sure it's probably not. And then we'll make. You know, we'll. We'll clean up a couple rough things, but I ain't gonna mess with it much. It's pretty good. Yeah.
Amy Earnhardt
It looks like it was in really good shape.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah, it's fine. I might make sure it runs, drive it around a little bit, do a lap around the house. We have that bigger loop driveway.
Amy Earnhardt
You take it down the hill.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I just wanted to update everybody kind of where that was.
Amy Earnhardt
The driveway. Not the whole.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
The driveway.
Amy Earnhardt
Yeah.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I wanted to keep people in the loop on how that that's going. Or they'll ask if you don't. Yeah, they want to know.
Amy Earnhardt
It's a cool story. I can't believe that someone kept that for so long and kept it in good shape and gave it to you.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I know. I'm excited. We've had two great things happen this year.
Amy Earnhardt
Yeah. There was another lady that passed away who was a foundation supporter in general, and she donated a pretty good amount of money to the foundation when she passed. That was really amazing.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yes. All right, so let's move on to Ask Amy.
C
Let's do it. And we are live.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
All right, everybody, this is Amy and Dale for Bless yous Heart on Thursday. And we're live on our Dreamo Media handles. Thank you for tuning in with us today. We've had a great conversation so far on the show around a lot of different things. Valentine's Day or the lack thereof.
Amy Earnhardt
Valentine's Day for 500. What is it?
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Guess that ass Amy joins FanDuel. Drinking while cooking, saving voicemails, all kinds of fun stuff. And the fun's not over yet. We're gonna talk about, you know, some questions I guess y'all have posed on social media for Amy to answer. And then we have closing thoughts and a big surprise.
Amy Earnhardt
I get the surprise here.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah.
Amy Earnhardt
Oh, I hope it's so good, or I'm gonna. I don't know how to react all right. To this at all, to be honest.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Big surprise for Amy. So let's get right to the questions.
C
All right, well, Clark has our first question, and he wants you guys to settle this debate between his wife and himself. The person that controls the music when you're driving is the person that drives, not the passenger.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Agree.
Amy Earnhardt
So Dale would agree with that, but Dale controls the music no matter what environment we're in. So I feel like that's unfair. Here's the thing. If you want to control the music, I get to control the temperature in the car.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Great.
Amy Earnhardt
But Dale's always in control of the music. I don't know. That's hard. Maybe if you have to. Who drives all the time? That's the thing. If the person in the driver's seat is always in the driver's seat. That's not fair. You have to take turns, so.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Oh, man, I have to get this out.
Amy Earnhardt
Get what out? Do it. Oh, so be turning the music down.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Oh, gosh.
Amy Earnhardt
Listen, we don't have to rage, man.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I'm not raging, so it makes me rage. I know. We're driving. We're driving down the road. This is one. This is something just. I know that I just had to get used to, and I still don't have it mastered. But we'll be driving down the road, and I'll have the music. And I mean, it's just playing a normal volume.
Amy Earnhardt
That's relative term.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
But there's, you know, there's kids in the back, their iPads and all kinds of noise and doll. You know, there's just things. Right. And traffic might be getting a little annoying, whatever, but. And he'll just. Just casually reach over and just turn it down.
Amy Earnhardt
I casually, calmly, and I'm like, respectfully, politely, just turn the music down so I don't lose my mind.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I'm like.
Amy Earnhardt
I'm overstimulated by that point. That's why I do it. But if I ask you, you're going to go, ugh.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Anyway, it just. You turn it down. And I'm like, all right, I guess that's what we're doing.
Amy Earnhardt
That's right. That's what we're doing.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Sitting here. I got three hours to drive, and the music's barely audible half the time.
Amy Earnhardt
When we take that car ride, I drive. I drive. And you still play the music.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Well, you don't. I mean, you can. If you take over. Take over. Play it. So what I do before Amy gets in the car is I take all. I get in there and I take the. I fade everything all the way over to the left front speaker on the dash so that it's good and loud, but it'll be low for her. That's.
C
That's interesting.
Amy Earnhardt
I've never heard we're sitting close enough where it's not that different, you know, like you're not in a time capsule.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
You're gonna turn it down. I still can't get what I'm looking for here on, because I got literally this, this speaker right here playing. Yeah. And I. There was one time, I don't know, four, three, four years ago, I got in the car, put on some headphones. She didn't like that at all. Really?
Amy Earnhardt
I mean, how rude is that? How rude is that? Yeah. I'm so worried about my music experience here that I'm not even gonna acknowledge anybody else in the car. I just forget the fact that there's kids in here that might need some help. I'm here. This is what I'm doing.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Amy want. When Amy's. When Amy's overstimulated, she wants to turn the mutes down. When I'm over stimulated, I need it louder. And so sometimes, man, I just want to hear my music loud.
Amy Earnhardt
Dale, you do that every single day you get in the car.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I know.
Amy Earnhardt
So like on a road trip especially because I think that's all we're really talking about here. Yeah, it's. You have to play to your environment with your group.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
It's fine. It's fine. It's not that big of a deal. I'm just making the comment that. But you'll reach.
Amy Earnhardt
Certainly making it a big deal.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
You'll reach over and turn it down.
C
And I'm like, is there a number in the car where you guys know, like, that's where I always go to. That's like my safe?
Amy Earnhardt
No, I don't think that's established. No, there's not a number though, either.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
We don't have a number.
Amy Earnhardt
If there was, we'd be arguing all the time about it.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Numbers. 12. No, it's 8.
Amy Earnhardt
Yeah. We argue about the temperature in the car.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Is that a bigger deal to you? We argue about the temperature.
Amy Earnhardt
We argue about how hot bodied right now. He's always cold. He'd wear a hoodie in the middle of the summer. So he wants it on 75. When it's 75 outside. And I'm like, I can't breathe in here. Like, I'm turning my side to 62 just to piss him off.
C
Yeah, 75 is hot.
Amy Earnhardt
In the garden, it's hot.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I'll never run it. 72.
Amy Earnhardt
Probably as high as I go, 74 is. 75 is pretty common. It's not cold outside. I don't know if we answered our guest's question.
C
Yeah, Clark, I hope that helps.
Amy Earnhardt
Maybe Rock, Paper, Scissors it and then that's fair enough.
C
Yeah. Well, staying on music, our next question is, if one song played every time you entered a room, kind of like a wrestler's entrance, what song would you pick?
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Eminence Front.
Amy Earnhardt
Yeah, Desdale's funeral song.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Eminence Front is my funeral song. So, like, the intro to Eminence Front, that would apply in pretty much any and every scenario.
C
You wouldn't get tired of it at all.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Absolutely not. Have you ever heard it?
Amy Earnhardt
No, the beginning is more of a. I have to. Just instruments before he starts singing.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Oh, man. Hype.
C
That a hype song is what I would check, too.
Amy Earnhardt
It's a good. It's a good song. It's a vintage.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Would apply to any scenario.
C
Interesting. I have to get a list. I'm sorry, I haven't listened to it.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Hype Funeral, the worst day of your life. Any scenario.
C
How could it be your funeral and the best day?
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
All of it. It's a wide. It's a wide ranging. It can apply.
C
Really.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Oh, my gosh, man. Eminence Front, the intro to that. I'm hearing it in my head. It's.
Amy Earnhardt
Yeah, I am too. I don't really have a song, to be honest.
C
No.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I think if you could figure out a way to, like, loop Eminence, Eminence Front, just the instrumental, I would probably be able to walk around for the rest of my life with that playing lightly in the background.
C
Really?
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I would be in. I would step to the music. Oh, my gosh. And I would kill everything. I would kick ass.
Amy Earnhardt
Somebody get this man a little speaker.
C
You ever walk down. You walk down the street and you, like, have a song playing your head and you kind of move to it. Is that kind of the same thing?
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Oh, my God.
Amy Earnhardt
I don't have one. Can you. What would you play for me?
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
A what?
Amy Earnhardt
Like, what song you think applies to me? Because I don't really have, like, a theme song that I feel you're judging. Like you're looking at me judging, trying to come up with something.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Oh, the Titanic song.
Amy Earnhardt
The Titanic song. Celine Dion.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah, any Celine Dion song.
Amy Earnhardt
Why? Why?
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Because you like that name?
Amy Earnhardt
Yeah, I wanted to name Isla Celine, but it wasn't about Celine Dion. It was just because it was a pretty unique name.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
You asked me to just choose a song out of thin air. I just did.
Amy Earnhardt
Well, Your song sucks. That can't play every time I walk into the room. The last date.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Our song.
Amy Earnhardt
That's our song. It's not my song. Okay, well, I don't really have one, but his is good.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
You don't have one? Well, come on. You have favorite song, because Eminence Front is probably my favorite song.
Amy Earnhardt
All right, Mine smells like Teen Spirit, then.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
There you go. Wow.
Amy Earnhardt
Yeah.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Didn't see that coming.
Amy Earnhardt
Which post Malone did.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
This is the thing about her did.
Amy Earnhardt
With the Nirvana crew at the SNL thing, which I've watched over and over again. It was so good. Did you watch it? I thought I saw you.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
The clip I saw, it was good.
Amy Earnhardt
It's good.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
It's good, but damn, nothing beats the original. I know.
Amy Earnhardt
Well, we aren't getting that back, so, like, let's enjoy what we got. He did a good job. He did.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
He did. I was. It was. It's just. I think it's just good to see it all together.
Amy Earnhardt
Agreed. I loved watching how excited Dave was.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Everybody happy to. To do it, right?
Amy Earnhardt
Yes.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
They're not. Their emotions are not too heavy to have to, you know, so I can get up there and have fun.
Amy Earnhardt
Yeah. That song always lights me up, though. Like, it gives me real feelings every single time I hear it.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I. Amy hates my pop punk. Most of it.
Amy Earnhardt
I hate the term pop punk too, by the way.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
All right, well, let's call whatever you want to call it. Call it whatever you want. I'll start calling it that. She doesn't like most of the music I like, but then there's these little outliers, like.
Amy Earnhardt
Well, I grew up in, like, the 90s. That was my teen years.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
No, but I can't help hate this chair. I know. I hate it.
Amy Earnhardt
You should just put your mic turned up like this.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah, I'm gonna bring my own chair. But the. No, I was. I had a song. One of my walkout songs for Bristol was some 41, and it was. I think it was called Screaming Bloody Murder or something like that. But it's a. It's a fast. And she's like, hey, man, I like that.
Amy Earnhardt
I really like that song. I've always liked some 41, though, too.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah. But, I mean, there's. There's these moments where I. Man, if I could just make like, a.
Amy Earnhardt
Even like a. I also like Barry Manilow. You know what I mean? Like.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I know, I know. But I wish I. I wish I knew every, like, hardcore song that you actually like. And I would make that playlist.
Amy Earnhardt
Metallica, Inner Sandman, I would make that.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Playlist and be like, I know I can play these songs and not get the radio turned down ever. On the way to the beach, honey.
Amy Earnhardt
Nothing'S ever consistent with me. I'm just going to be in my emotions. Some days I'm with you, and some days I'm just sweating in the passenger seat, just waiting to get there.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
All right. All right.
C
Well, this is kind of a music theme to ask Amy. What'd you guys think of the super bowl halftime show with Kendrick Lamar?
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I liked it.
Amy Earnhardt
Loved it.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I've been listening to.
Amy Earnhardt
So for me, Kendrick on the. Yeah. Dale has been listening to that on repeat. To be honest, I. I don't really, truly remember the song. And it's. What, you know, neither here nor there. I thought the performance was great. I loved watching Serena get out there and dance. And she looks really good, too, by the way. And I loved Ken Kendrick's jeans. Dale made a comment about the boot cut jeans because he used to rock those.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I still do. And, I mean, I still have some. They're not like, I've been like, these pants that I'm wearing now, I think this is. These things are like a decade old.
Amy Earnhardt
You like a relaxed fit. You have some that are a little bit bigger in the legs that I think look a little sloppy. So, like, I don't want you to wear them.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I bought a new pair of jeans in a long, long time.
Amy Earnhardt
No. Well, you save them, too. Like, he's got stacks. He fluctuates in his weight. He's got a stack of 32s, got a stack of 33s and 34s, and he just, like, shuffles them out.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
So I love the. Thanks for telling everybody my waistline. I love the seventies. I love the seventies. And I love. I love the, you know, all my. Our. Our favorite two cars that we have is the 77 Olds Cutlass and the 76 Laguna. And I love. I loved NASCAR in the 70s. I love the shape of cars, you know, production cars. I loved style. And bell bottoms. I thought bell bottoms. I've always thought bell bottoms are just really cool. Right. And you wear that sometimes you have some pants that'll just like, hide your entire shoe.
Amy Earnhardt
Yeah.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
And I feel like I look taller.
Amy Earnhardt
I am taller because of my platforms are giant underneath.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
And probably, what, 20 years ago, they were kind of in. And we were all kind of wearing a version of a bell bottom in a sense, like a. Just a big, wide pant, Right?
Amy Earnhardt
Yeah.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
And. And so he's out there walking on stage during that halftime. And I'm like, amy, are they back?
Amy Earnhardt
I know this. Is he like, literally, but like, look at his jeans.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Is he literally like bringing bell bottles back right now? Is this happening right as well? Were watching this show, the bell bottom. We're all.
Amy Earnhardt
Everybody's gonna be walking around the bell bottom thing. The flares are coming back. He's like, I'm so excited in that moment. We haven't even gotten 30 seconds into the song. And there's been so much on Instagram and all the things about these jeans. They're women's jeans. They're made by a company called Celine and they're thirteen hundred dollar jeans. Yeah. And they're sold out.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I won't be buying.
Amy Earnhardt
I know you're not gonna buy them anyway, but I thought all of those points were very interesting.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I like bell bottom jeans, man.
Amy Earnhardt
I don't know why any pair.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I don't know why they left. I don't know why people quit wearing them. I don't like that tapered tight stuff where you damn sock socks showing. And you. I don't love joggers.
C
You don't like joggers?
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I don't understand.
Amy Earnhardt
Like, no, he doesn't wear a jogger ever.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Dude, when I go get pants hemmed like a. Like a suit or slack, I'm like, give me a little extra down there.
Amy Earnhardt
Yeah, they always want to, like down.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I don't want like half of my shin out. What is that?
C
I don't know that either. That's weird.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I don't get that.
C
It's like capris.
Amy Earnhardt
It's a little too far.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Sometimes guys will be sitting around and like, totally comfortable. I'm like, that looks uncomfortable as hell. Like your pants riding up in your crotch and it just looks uncomfortable. Yeah, I'm like, so I don't understand buying wearing jeans like that too that are just completely tight all the way. My calves are really big anyways, for some reason. Just weird.
Amy Earnhardt
Maybe that's what it's about. You like a flare because your calves have room.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Dude, if I put on a pair of slacks and they're grabbing my calves and he's fussy. Not I'm fussy.
Amy Earnhardt
He's pissed for going anywhere.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
And I can't wash my slacks as soon as I put them in the dry cleaner or, you know, get them clean. They own my. They own my. They're on my calf muscle.
C
That sucks.
Amy Earnhardt
There's really no fix.
C
There's no fix. I feel like we just answered this next question.
Amy Earnhardt
Flared slacks.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Flared slacks. Yes.
C
But the next question was, what's one fashion trend you wish to that would return or go away? I feel like you kind of just answered that with the bell bottoms, though.
Amy Earnhardt
Yeah, we wish the. We like the bigger jeans. I wish that wearing your bra as a shirt would go away. Is that a thing Lately and apparently the low rise jean thing, wearing just.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
The bra people are just walking around.
Amy Earnhardt
Just bras all just like with your undergarments. Basically. Yeah.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
No, no jacket, no shirt. No shirt.
C
Where's that?
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Wait, sorry.
Amy Earnhardt
I'm sorry. How have you not noticed that I haven't seen this?
C
Where is this happening?
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
It's acceptable and it is happening. Where people walk around wearing only a bra.
Amy Earnhardt
Yeah.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
From the waist up.
Amy Earnhardt
I mean, it doesn't look like your standard underwire cup bra, but it's like a bralette thing or something like tiny.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Dang.
Amy Earnhardt
That's wild. That and like the booty shorts where like you can see a girl's butt crease hanging out of her shorts. Like that needs to go away before Isla gets old enough to start wearing that or I'm going to lose. Like we're going to have World War three in my house because she's not going outside like that. But yeah, the low rise is apparently coming back. Like when I was in college, which was obscene. Like the zipper was like an inch and a half long. Obscene.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah.
Amy Earnhardt
I remember going home for Thanksgiving. My dad's like, will you put some clothes on?
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah.
Amy Earnhardt
What? That's not pants.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah.
C
So a big thing now is that with guys wearing these hats that have the logo upside down and backwards. Have you seen those, Dale?
Amy Earnhardt
No, I have one.
C
Do you? I like them. But a lot of people are very upset about that. They think it's stupid. I gotta like.
Amy Earnhardt
Well, so I feel like that's for a selfie thing. It's the right way when you look in the mirror with your selfie. Right.
C
Yeah, it was. Somebody wore it. It was like a new style now. And now like the older generation is like, these are stupid.
Amy Earnhardt
To be fair, I haven't worn mine out of the house, so I have one, but I haven't worn it.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Let me ask you this question. You get to choose only one decade and that is the style for the rest of your life. Which decade are you choosing?
Amy Earnhardt
For me, maybe the 50s, 60s.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
And you went back?
Amy Earnhardt
I didn't experience it. It's very feminine. Girls are wearing the dresses, like more structured clothing. I feel like that looks good on everybody.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
What about a decade you had lived in and experienced? I like the 80s.
Amy Earnhardt
The 80s was wild. I like the 90s. I like the grunge thing and I like.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I like going on. You like the 90s and grunge? Oh, yeah. That was pretty good. Flannels.
Amy Earnhardt
Yeah. We could live in the grunge phase.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I get old pants and T shirts. I like the 80s. And I try to find swim trunks like this with all the, like, OB2OBs. Oh, you found a column, like, just.
Amy Earnhardt
Like they say, by the bell graphics.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah. Random shapes and squares and bright colors and neon.
C
Is that 80s? Is that 80s style? The bright colors.
Amy Earnhardt
Late 80s. Early. Yeah, early 90s. I don't know. The bright colors is what makes them think of the 80s. But, like, do you remember jams? Have you ever heard of jams?
C
No, I've never heard of jam.
Amy Earnhardt
Like MC Hammer pants, but bright colors.
C
Yeah.
Amy Earnhardt
And that kind of reminds you of that. I feel like.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
