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 me?

[Amy Earnhardt]

I couldn't believe it. What's going on? The world is not your trash can.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

I slept till 2, smoking cigarettes and drinking amp energy.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Lord have mercy. All right, so what do we got today? First thing I want to talk about is the pollen that's driving me crazy.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

It's a hard rain.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Last night we had a hard rain, but it's still stuck in my head. And poor Nicole, too. She's been wrecked all week.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Do you think that's what's wrong?

[Amy Earnhardt]

Yes, they've been playing outside.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

So much infection. You got a sore throat?

[Amy Earnhardt]

I mean, it's gone now. It's just because I've. You know when you go to sleep at night and it all settles. You wake up and you're kind of clogged up. No, I've been outside a lot. I was even walking Gus the other night because he's. Every time you let him out, he gets in the pool. So I didn't let him back in the house. I just took him on the walk so maybe he would dry out. And we went to go visit the donkeys and I even noticed the donkey's nostrils are full of yellow pollen. No, I mean like, this is just.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

We had a hard rain.

[Amy Earnhardt]

It's everywhere.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

That's. Some of. That's what you say. That's what you talk about when you're 50. Hard rain last night really knocked that pollen down. Should give you a little relief there, honey. Yeah, I was gonna say. So I don't want to say. This doesn't. This isn't a big deal to you because I don't want to speak for you, but you're. I don't. You don't often show your emotions around this type of stuff. But I was sitting upstairs with LW before we came down here to do this show. My. My. My wife, my. My bro, my brother in law.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Trying to think he's your brother.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

So he.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Everybody's working on short circuits this morning.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Yeah, I'm terrible with that stuff. I'm not good with names, numbers, phone numbers, dates, birthdays.

[Amy Earnhardt]

I think it's by choice because you could spread off any race stating to be NCAA video game stat. I would choose to be like that.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

A freaking savant if I could be one.

[Amy Earnhardt]

No, it's just. You're not interested in it. You could care less.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Well, that. That. That's different. That's somewhat true, but I would. Some people seem to. It seems to come so easy to remember everything. I'm terrible with remembering stuff like that. But like phone numbers can't. I couldn't tell you anyone's phone number but my own.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Well, I mean, in this day and age, you don't have to type it out.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Yeah.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Anyhow.

[Amy Earnhardt]

All right. Lw.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Lw. I was upstairs and I got it on. I got this picture. I took the picture this morning with your phone. Text it to myself so I would have it.

[Amy Earnhardt]

What?

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

My phone was in truck so I couldn't take the picture myself. So I took the picture with your phone, sent it to me. So I have it. I look had some. Has like a little spelling test every few days or so. What?

[Amy Earnhardt]

Every Monday?

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Every Monday spelling test, and she goes to. It's 12 words.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Maybe it's 10 words.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

10 words.

[Amy Earnhardt]

And she has to write a sentence with some of the words on the back, man.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

So when you're a parent, there'll be milestones, things your kids do that you're, you know, that you're like, you know, man, that's awesome. I can't believe it. Never thought I'd feel this way when I see them do this or that and the other or they take a first step or whatever. Right. Well, one of the things. There's two things that really, really make me proud of them now. There's. I mean, there's. There's a lot of things they do that make me proud, but there's two that stand out that are really very normal, common activities that aren't that big deal. One is brushing their teeth. I wish I would have done a better job as a child.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Yeah.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

At 10, 11, 12, 13. Right. I wish I would have done a better job with my teeth. But we all, you know, we all grow up and all of us realize, like, golly, you know, if I, you.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Know, Hindsight is always 22, and you're.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Like, you're going to the dentist and you're like, man, I should have did, you know, I should have done a better job. And, man, you see, I could get veneers or I could. I could go get my teeth looking pretty amazing. But you see people with their, you know, that have their original teeth, and you're like, man, that person did a really good job taking care of them. And I wish I would have done that.

[Amy Earnhardt]

And you don't have a bunch of fake teeth.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

No, I don't. But since I'm happy with my teeth, but I wish I would have done better. And so, you know, I smoked all those years and did all these things that. That tinted the colors and stuff, and so I have to go get them bleached and all that. But anyways, long story short, Nicole doesn't like to do it. And it bothers me.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Yeah.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

It makes me think about, like, am I gonna have to literally hold her hand? This for all of her teenage years, trying to get her to brush her teeth? Is she always going to be a person that just refuses to do it? And is she gonna skip, cheat, cut corners and be like me one day when she wakes up and she's 35 years old and goes, man, I should have done a better job of that? Now I have to go get this fixed and that fixed, and I wish I would have Done a better job. And so that's one thing, but the other. The whole reason I'm having this conversation is when. When Isla and eventually Nicole takes a simple, silly 10 word spelling test and brings home the 100 or the A plus.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Yeah.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

And a wow from the teacher and a smiley face and. I don't know.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Very gratifying.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Whoa. I don't know why that is such. I was talking to lw. I was like, I showed him a picture and I was like, man, when Wyatt was bringing these home for the first few times, didn't you? Wouldn't you. Weren't you surprised at this weird feeling that it gave you of pride and happiness and joy over some silly little spelling? It's like 10 words and what do you say? I was. He's. Of course, he was like, yeah, I did get a little funny feeling about it. And I was surprised at how that made me, how happy that made me. I didn't think it would matter that much to me. But again, like, I was a C student. I only tried hard enough to get the C. If I. If I somehow ended up with a C plus or B minus, I was like, whoa, I didn't expect to get that.

[Amy Earnhardt]

You know, we had A's in my house.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

No, I didn't. Kelly. Kelly was A's and B's. And she would have a B or one B or a couple B's and be very disappointed. I didn't care. I just didn't want to fail. And I'm, you know, otherwise mailed it in. And so I was again, kind of like going, you know, I guess like the teeth brushing and how I regretted not doing a better job of something so silly. I. I wish I would have done a better job in school because it felt super hard when you were in it. Right. But it wasn't. And. And so to see, like torture sometimes. Yeah. To see my little girl excel and try and even at this young age, do things better than I did is so rewarding and relieving. Yeah, I'm so proud of that.

[Amy Earnhardt]

I mean, they get new words every week we practice and she, you know, she's going over them and then on Monday mornings before school, we sit and do it one more time just so that she's got it fresh on her mind. And so we sat down Monday morning with her little tablet and I'm calling out the words. And Dale, who is usually busy feeding dogs, doing something else, was sitting next to Isla and I call out the word shown and she writes it down correctly. And Dale's like, nope, that's not how you spell shown.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Oh, this is funny.

[Amy Earnhardt]

And he thinks she's supposed to be writing, like, I've shown you how to do something. Sh. And it's not. It's shown like, the light has shone on your face or whatever. It's not a word you say very often. No, but in context, for the rest of the spelling list, it was just, you know, the word families that they're learning. So it was S, H, O, N.

[Steve]

E. That's a real word.

[Amy Earnhardt]

It's a word. Yeah, but it's not really one you use.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

I didn't know that she had stone and shone and it. So it's all the words are always in these families and very similar.

[Amy Earnhardt]

And phones. So they're learning PDFs.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

You'll just change. Yeah. So the kid really just has to change the first few letters. And Amy, I'm not. I'm so. I'm not paying. I mean, I'm paying attention, but it didn't dawn on me. And she writes down. She writes it down, S, H, O, N, E. And I'm like. And she's like, no. And she starts to erase. And she's like. She's thinking in her head. And I'm like, yep. No, that's not it.

[Amy Earnhardt]

I've been writing this for a week. Like.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

And, I mean, we were sitting there.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Surely this isn't wrong.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Two minutes. And Amy's like, yeah, come on. What is it? You gotta get it right. Amy can't see it.

[Amy Earnhardt]

I can't see, but I assume he's up to speed.

[Steve]

Yeah.

[Amy Earnhardt]

And he's absolutely not. He's about to wreck her confidence.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

She looks over and she's like, no, she got it right. And I was like, really?

[Amy Earnhardt]

Dale's like, slithers down.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

I'm like, I don't know how to spell.

[Steve]

I've never seen that before.

[Amy Earnhardt]

I still don't know how to spell.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

I know. I'm like, I'm 50 and I don't know how to spell.

[Steve]

Give me that test. Let me try it.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Dale got a C yet again. And Isaac got an A. Yeah. But it is gratifying. And so he taped it up on the. I mean, she does this every week, and she usually does get 100 or maybe she'll miss one.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

But I do.

[Amy Earnhardt]

He made a really big deal out of it this week.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

And I want. I want.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Refrigerator.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Yeah. I don't want. So I'm trying to. So my reaction in the moment when she. When I see the test. Right. My reaction in the Moment is really important because I can make her. I can show her, Right. That I'm happy and try to trigger things in her mind that are like, wow, I did this thing. It got that result. I love that. I'm gonna. I'm gonna try to do that thing again. Or she'll go. Or she'll feel like it didn't matter. That was a lot of. Well, I'm more worried about, okay. I want her to. I want. There. I'm worried about her feeling pressure. Like, oh, man, I gotta do that every time.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Yeah.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

And that's not what I want. Right. I don't want her to think, God, I gotta live up to that standard every day. It's okay. I don't really get bothered when she misses a word or two words or whatever. I mean, I want her to do great.

[Amy Earnhardt]

We just want her to try.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Yeah.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

But I do want her to. I don't want. I don't want her to come home with a test, that's a great score. And me go, oh, cool, good job. On to my next. On the next thing I'm dealing with. I want her to, you know, I want her to know how proud I am, and I want her to, maybe when she's taken the next test, go, I'm going to try to do great. I really love how happy this makes dad.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Well, I've heard what you say in those moments. Instead of saying, like, that's so great. You got an A, you have to commend them on the work that they did or how hard they tried. So every time when she's doing something that's frustrating or hard, I. I have to remind her, like, you can try, try again. Don't quit. It's okay to fail. You're gonna fail until you get it right. Like you do that at anything new. Because she likes service, she likes to be helped. Nicole, on the other hand, wants to do everything on her own. Even if she screws it up, she's totally fine with that, but she wants to do it on her own. Isla likes to be helped. She's always been that way. It's just part of her personality. So she's one of those kids I have to constantly say, try again. Even if you're mad, just focus on what you're doing and try again. So I think that that's what you're supposed to say in those moments instead of like, nice job, you're the best. You know, you say, you worked so hard and you studied, look what you got. You know what I mean?

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Yeah.

[Steve]

I think putting that thing on the fridge, too, is a big. Like, I want another one on the fridge. That's a big motivator, too.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

I'm taping it up there.

[Amy Earnhardt]

That feels like it could be, like, putting the pressure situation there. Like it's a trophy now.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Well, I put it, I think, you know, so she wants. When she draws something, she's like, can we tape it up on the, you know, refrigerator?

[Amy Earnhardt]

At one point, there were. So refrigerators have wooden panels on them. They're not magnetic. So, like, we have Scotch tape, like, all over this thing. And at one point, there was artwork from one side to the other. Like, the whole wall was covered in paper.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

And it's not a new thing, but. No, I was putting it.

[Amy Earnhardt]

But it has been cleaned off.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Yeah, I was putting it up there. I was like, hey, look, Isla. And she looks over there, and she's like, hey, put some tape on the bottom so it doesn't flap around when you open the shutter door. I was like, good idea. You know, working together. Speaking of, Isla, this is. We had a little issue, so we did.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Oh, we didn't. Yeah, one of us had an issue.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

So Rick Allen was just fine. Yeah. Rick Allen built us. Built Isla a chair, small little chair.

[Amy Earnhardt]

When she was, like, a year old. It's not a new chair has her.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Name engraved in it. The lit. The top of the chair. The seat of the chair is glued to the frame, and it had been.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Set outside on the porch during some event and sat outside for a while. So, like, it's. The glue got brittle, and the top.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Has come loose, basically. Yeah, the. Yeah, the seat come loose from the top. Amy's like, hey, can you fix this? I'm like, yeah, I can fix it. And so. What the hell? I know what this is. Steve park has walked in, and Steve park has a surprise gift.

[TJ]

Well, Junior, you know how much I.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Like you, and I wanted to give you a gift, but this is.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Hi.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

I heard me and my buddy Dan from Good Eats and Sweets heard that you love carrot.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Yes.

[TJ]

And you did not want to get her a carrot.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

You want to get her a red velvet cake. Yes.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Isn't that fair? It's not fair, is it?

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

That was not fair.

[Amy Earnhardt]

No.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

We decided when we were watching the show, Dan said, you know what? I'll cook her the best carrot cakes you ever.

[Amy Earnhardt]

That's so nice.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Take a look at this. Whoa.

[Amy Earnhardt]

[Kenny]

Everything's homemade.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Good eats and sweet. I'm gonna write that in my note.

[Amy Earnhardt]

There's a scan thing. Yeah, I don't know if you can.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Scan thing, and maybe we'll put that. He's a big fan of the show, and he also wanted me to let you know that, you know, red velvet cake, it was originally derived from beets.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Oh, no way.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Yeah. She loves beets. I knew that.

[Amy Earnhardt]

I do like beets.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

I knew. I didn't know that. That's why I got that, because she's. She loves beets. Beet salad. She eats beet salad all the time. A lot of carrots in there. What we need to do. Let's guess how many carrots it takes. The closest one gets a free carrot. Thank you, Steve. All right. Thank you. Yes, sir. So that was pretty neat. Steve park come by. He's an incredible dude. I know you probably know this, but used to. He drove for my dad and was kind of part of the original DEI group and just a super awesome guy. Still around and still.

[Amy Earnhardt]

You know, that's the first time I've actually met him.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Really? Oh, man.

[Amy Earnhardt]

I met this man for the first time, and he brought me a carrot cake. Isn't that nice?

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

I know some cool people.

[Amy Earnhardt]

I'm glad. I'm glad that they pay attention. Very cool, though.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Very cool.

[Amy Earnhardt]

It's heavy. We're gonna eat some. A little bit.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

So we were talking about this chair. Rick made a chair for Isla, and he wanted it fixed. I'm gonna try to fix it. I couldn't screw from the bottom up through the frame into the. Into the lid because the. The. The. The frame had these rails around it. And, man, I just was not thinking and drilled a hole in the lid and was gonna put screws down in the seat.

[Amy Earnhardt]

So he didn't just drill a hole. He drilled four holes with four different screws. And one looked like one finishing all four holes. All four screws were different, and it looked terrible. And one didn't have. Listen, this man can fix anything, which is why I asked him to fix the chair to begin with instead of just asking Rick to take it back and fix it for me. I'm like, my husband can put some plumbing and electrical together. This man can fix this chair. He Murdered it. He murdered the chair. When I saw it, I was so mad I literally saw red and I let him have it. I overreacted. But the top of that seat is ruined. And Isla was standing there and started to cry. And of course my reaction probably made her more upset, which is what Dale was trying to tell me in the moment. But I was just so pissed that he was like so careless. And so now we have to get Rick to fix the chair.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

So what happened was, is you got.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Bored and started screwing around with stuff in the garage.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

So I think that I could, I was. I couldn't find four screws the right length that were the same. That's true. I only found 3. 1. One hole didn't even have screw in. It wasn't a finishing nails. Just nothing in there. And then my. When I tried to bevel the screws to. Because they were countersink. Yeah.

[Amy Earnhardt]

It chewed up the wood.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

It messed the wood up. So the countersink looked terrible. Just a bad job all the way around. Really, really botch the whole thing. But Rick is coming by to take the chair and he's just going to make a new lid for it.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Cool.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Rick Allen, who we all love has that now that he's got, you know, some time. Not, not in the, not in the broadcast booth. He's a, he's a.

[Amy Earnhardt]

He is a full on carpenter. He can, he built their whole house. He can make anything.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

He can make anything.

[Amy Earnhardt]

And he does a really nice job.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Yes. Incredible.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Yeah.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

He can make anything out of wood. You know he did build a house entirely on his own.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Cabinets and everything.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Cabinets, furniture, chairs, whatever you need made. I don't, I'm not a carpenter. I'm not going to build nothing out of wood. Clearly.

[Amy Earnhardt]

I feel like that's where we stop is at wood.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

I think what I need to do though. All right, so he's fixing the chair. Chair's gonna get fixed. But I gotta figure out how to get some bits that bevel that wood better.

[Amy Earnhardt]

No, I think we're done.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Cuz I need a bit. You can't not have.

[Amy Earnhardt]

You need an apprenticeship before you get to.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

That man needs all the right tools. And I in that case did not have the right tools. I tried.

[Amy Earnhardt]

So in that moment, instead of just going, you know, I don't have the right tools. I'm just going to wait.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

I tried to bevel it with a larger bit and it was just a bad idea. I need the right tools.

[Amy Earnhardt]

All the things point to. I wasn't supposed to do this. I should have waited.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Yes.

[Amy Earnhardt]

I should have just glued it. I could have glued it back.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

[Amy Earnhardt]

Can I show them the video of you swatting the bees? So the wood covered bees are bad at our house. Really bad. We have wooden shutters on the house and then wooden corbels everywhere. They're being replaced.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

This is very. I just want to preface. I just want to preface this. If you're an animal lover, you might want to get your earmuffs out.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Just saying, if you happen to love carpenter bees, this is not for you. They are destroying our house. Like, there are so many areas where, like, stuff has to be. Like, we don't even get under that trellis downstairs anymore because surely it's completely hollowed out anyway. So we. Dale has a little racket, a racquetball racket, and he will just go outside and start wailing on the carpenter bees. And it's become a thing that now Isla likes to do. So they get out there together.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy Earnhardt]

And it's like that.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

It's like the tennis racket for badminton. Yeah. Not a good tennis racket. It's like a little easy, light, really lightweight.

[Steve]

You swing that thing around pretty heavy.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Oh, man. You can end some carpenter bees with that thing.

[Steve]

Yeah.

[Amy Earnhardt]

But it's now become a game. We have the carpenter bee traps with the little blocks that they crawl in and they hide and they can't get out. And those only work so well. I can't find it.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Oh, good.

[Amy Earnhardt]

I have some videos.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

There's some video of me running around doing this.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Oh, here it is.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Oh, yeah. Look at that, dude.

[Steve]

Nice vertical.

[Amy Earnhardt]

And he's got Isla doing it too. I've got videos of her. He's just.

[Steve]

That's kind of fun.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Get him.

[Amy Earnhardt]

He loves it.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

That's how he's fun.

[Amy Earnhardt]

He secretly likes it. I don't know if anybody else has any other helpful tips for carpenter bees. We've replaced some of the wood things with faux wood things around our house just to make them not want to hang out at our house anymore. But you can't get rid of all of it.

[Steve]

But is there something you could spray on, like, the outside?

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

You know what? Nah, man.

[Amy Earnhardt]

You know?

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

No, no, no, no, no.

[Amy Earnhardt]

The reason we have the spray that he was working with the mice hole so much with the other day is because of the bees. He used to spray. No, no, no, no.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

He's thinking like, spray like poison.

[Amy Earnhardt]

I know, I know.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Yeah, I do. So they.

[Amy Earnhardt]

They try not to use poison in.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

General, because the bees bore these holes into the wood way in there. And, like, if you're standing there at the garage door, you can hear them in there working. Like, they're just in there just cutting this wood, this boring this hole. And I took some expanding foam, and I'd spray it up in there and there. Dude, this. These little. So I'll spray that spanning foam in there, and it goes all into the tunnel they've made, because this vast system of tunnels, they've cut into this wood, and they will bore out around the. They'll come out another. They'll.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Right in front of your eyes. They'll just pop right out.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

They'll bore out of a new hole that they. They're like, oh, yeah, I'll just go somewhere. I'll just go this way. And I'm like, damn it. And so the spray foam isn't an idea now. So if you're. If you finally get rid of the bees, you could use the spray foam to fill the holes, and then, you know, you're good.

[Amy Earnhardt]

But see, we really need help. We don't know how to do this.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

We need to get rid of this wood. This wood's just too soft, and they love it. And so they cook. They're gonna tear this wood up because they're. They're there. They won't get into the garage doors. That wood's too hard.

[Steve]

Yeah.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

And so this wood that we got in this particular wood jam of the garage doors is too soft, and they love it. And that's why they love that trellis, because that trellis wood's super soft. I was thinking about on the way here, some fashion faux pas that people do.

[Amy Earnhardt]

You were thinking about fashion faux pas on the way to the shop, if.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

You want me to tell you the truth. So I was trying. I was putting my hat on, and my hat was pushing my ear out a little bit, and I was like, man, I hate that. And so, because I don't, like. I like my hat to get. Go all the way down on my head but not put my ears out. And I was thinking, that must be why some people put their ears inside their hat. But every time I see somebody with their ears inside their hat, I think immediately, oh, man, You've never seen a man put on a hat like this and have his ears inside.

[Amy Earnhardt]

I've never noticed that if somebody around.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Me has done that, so I hate to call him out, but I think I saw Cold custard do it back in the day. When I see somebody do that, I'm like, man, I can't trust them. I don't trust that person.

[Amy Earnhardt]

It is a weird thing to do. It's like tucking your jeans into your socks a little bit.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Yeah. Like, who does that? I've never seen that. But socks with sandals.

[Amy Earnhardt]

So that's like a new thing that the kids are doing.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

So.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Yeah, I hear you something.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

That's fashion. And you see it and you go, oh, how. Why do they do that? Like, I would never do. I would never do that. Or how. Who. Who started that? That's terrible. Like, hats inside the ears is absolute. No. And I see it quite often, especially on the. On the west side of the country. There's a lot of people over there doing that.

[Amy Earnhardt]

California, Especially the Californians.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

California.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Is that true?

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

I.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Do you think it's just because the hats are bigger?

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

I don't. Yeah. I mean, they get there. They get their hats a little larger, but I see a lot of. I see a lot of racers and people in that. In the racing industry on the west coast that'll do it. You don't see as much over here, but sometimes you do. But the hats inside the ears bothers the hell out of me.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Hats inside of ears? Yeah, Ears inside of hats.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Or if you pull your hat down and you have your shades on the outside of the hat because the hat's so low. Hats inside of ears. Sock sandals.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Hats inside. Ears inside of your hat.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Ears and hats. Sorry, was I saying it backwards? Yeah, my bad, y'all. Hopefully everybody got the message.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Yeah, I think that they did, but it's.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

What are some fashion faux pas that you see and you go, mm, mm. Can't trust you.

[Amy Earnhardt]

We were watching a show last night.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

You have one?

[Amy Earnhardt]

We were watching a show last night, and I won't say which one, but there's a bunch of, like, 30 somethings sitting around having a birthday party. And the birthday girl stands up and she's literally just wearing a big old pair of panties. And, like, that's what we're doing now. We're just running around in our panties. It's not like late night. They had been out so early afternoon, and they weren't like a swimsuit bottom. There's just. I don't understand that.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Dale wore socks with his floafers. You know what flofers are?

[Steve]

I do not.

[Amy Earnhardt]

They are like a croc, but it looks like a loafer, and they call them flofers.

[Steve]

Oh, okay.

[Amy Earnhardt]

And so Dale was sent some as a gift. They have wings on him.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Who's Luke Combs?

[Amy Earnhardt]

Luke did that. The crocs are from Luke.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Both.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Oh, well, they have. So they have angel. They have wings on the tops of them. But he's running around with them with socks on. I don't think you're supposed to wear socks with those.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

I wore. Put them on just to go down and take the trash downstairs. I didn't wear them out to the damn bar or anything.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Well, you have worn your house shoes out accidentally. Like, more than once.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Accidentally, dude. I mean, that's when you know you're comfortable. And on vacations, when you walk out of the house in your house shoes and forget you got.

[Amy Earnhardt]

You've done it here.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

I know. I've came here, podcasted in my house shoes.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Really?

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

I don't do it on purpose. I don't walk out of the house and go, man, I'm lazy. I'm just gonna leave my house shoes on. I get here and I go, forgot to put on shoes. It's not an on purpose thing.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Well, I don't wear house shoes.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

That's an accidental thing.

[Steve]

How about white after Labor Day as a fashion faux pas?

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Right.

[Amy Earnhardt]

I don't know. I feel like the only thing that matters in that regard is linen. Like, you shouldn't wear linen in the middle of winter. Dale will oftentimes go to put a dress shirt on or something, and he'll put, like, a flannel shirt on, and it's July. I'm like, no, you can't wear that right now. But I think the colors aren't that big of a deal. Like, right after Labor Day. What's the other one? In the fall, you're not supposed to wear white, and then you're not supposed to wear it again until, like, after Memorial Day. Is that when it is? Like, Labor Day to Memorial Day? I feel like white's okay. Maybe not black jeans.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

I cannot stand V necks.

[Steve]

Yeah, I don't like V necks either.

[Amy Earnhardt]

He thinks V necks are for titties with cleavage.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Okay, that's true.

[Steve]

You're not wrong.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

I mean, V necks. I ain't doing V necks. And I see someone in a V neck. It's bothersome.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Even, like a short V neck.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Oh, yeah.

[Amy Earnhardt]

I don't really understand.

[Steve]

I don't get it.

[Amy Earnhardt]

It's just a. It's just a taste. He won't wear like a zipper placket shirt.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Quarter zips? Nope.

[Steve]

Really? That's like golfy.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

That's like, hey, quarter zips.

[Amy Earnhardt]

I don't like the zipper.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

I think, yeah, the zipper can poking me in the throat.

[Steve]

What are you doing all the way up?

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Well, no, but like it's. It don't you know you can't fold it down. It's not a collar.

[Steve]

That's true.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

So it's just kind of here floating around and whatever that is. And I hate jackets. Do that too. You'll get. I can't stand a big jacket or a jacket where the collar is just like a half collar. Can't fold down. And it's all. It's always in your way. It drives me crazy.

[Amy Earnhardt]

I can't turn my head.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Yeah, I am. I don't. I'm learning. I guess I'm just super freaking particular about clothes because I was on here the other day bitching about pants and how wear pants that are grabbing my.

[Amy Earnhardt]

You're particular about everything.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

I am. I am. Well, I know what I like. I know what makes me happy.

[Amy Earnhardt]

He won't wear cardigans either. I remember Steve Latart started like, he likes clothes and he likes to be stylish. And so he will put on like a dress shirt and like a cardigan over it. I'm like, that's pretty cool. Sale would you. He's like, absolutely. No, I'm not. I'm not Mr. Rogers. I'm not wearing a cardigan.

[Steve]

I can't see that either.

[Amy Earnhardt]

What about the new swim trunk? Like swim trunks for guys have gotten shorter and shorter and shorter. Like we're back to like the 80s length.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

I know I. I get on when I go buy board shorts. I get on there and now this is something I never had to worry about. But now I have to go and make sure. Okay, it's. There's a measurement from the crotch, the inseam. Right. I'm like, okay, you know, not seven inches. That's too short. I'm can't buy these. Don't have the nine inch, you know.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Yeah, they used to like hit your knees or go at least or below. And you could. They called, you know, they were baggy, called them baggies. They were board shorts. And now they're like. Everything has stretch in them and then they're skinny and they're tight. He ordered some. They're a size up from his typical pant size because he likes them Loose, and they were as tight as they could be. And he was so pissed off. Like, it ruins your spirit a little bit when your swimsuit doesn't fit. I don't matter if you're a girl or a guy, but that was fun.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

I have. I like board shorts that go down to just above the knee. And I've got a big ass, so it has to have. When I sit down, it has to be able to. If. If I sit down and it's trying to pull the waistband down, it's like, all right, this ain't got enough. Ain't enough room for my ass in here.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Yeah.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

And so I hate, like, you get. I buy cheap. I buy some cheap ass off of Amazon. Like a 19 pair, $19 pair of damn board shorts just because I think the color's cool. And I put them on and ain't enough material in the ass, and there's too much up front. So when you sit down, it's like you got all this balloon ballooned and baggied, and then your waistband's sliding down, crack. Your ass is coming out.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Yep. Not good.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Like, God damn it.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Not a good scene.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

I mean, it ain't hard to, like, just add a little extra material. People know. Everybody knows how everybody's body's made. I mean, they're all the same.

[Steve]

Oh, speaking of hats, I have an update about the Osterlin hat.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Yay.

[Steve]

If you'd like to know.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Oh, you do?

[Steve]

Yes. The guy reached out. He got it from the big Mooresville antique, like we said. It's in booth 34, the one with all the die cast, and it was in a pile of hats just sitting off to the side. And he's talked to the guy before about where he gets those, and he usually gets them at estate sales, race shops, or other businesses. And he bought it last summer.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Interesting.

[Steve]

So.

[Amy Earnhardt]

So he bought that hat.

[Steve]

He bought that hat at the big antique Mooresville place, and the guy got it from. From just a guy who. Whose booth it is. He knows him, and he says he always has kind of hats like that.

[Amy Earnhardt]

But he wouldn't give up whose booth it was.

[Steve]

It was booth 34. That's all he gave.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Yeah. It doesn't sound like that our culprit is the actual owner of the booth, which is a relief.

[Steve]

Yeah.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

And it must have been just somebody I gave it to that was like, yeah, I don't want this. That's just the way it is. I just got to live with it. I'm sure people want me to pursue this further, but I think I'm gonna close the case.

[Amy Earnhardt]

I mean, I kind of feel like we should go to the antique bar and just.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

I'm close.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Why?

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

I just. I don't know that the end result is really going to be that. That revealing or captivating for me.

[Amy Earnhardt]

So you're in a weird mood.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

No, I'm not. Well, I don't have any cream today. No sip of cream?

[Amy Earnhardt]

No. I'll cut you off after last week, by the way. That's what he was drinking when he messed with the chair. He drank a big old glass of sipping cream.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

That's true.

[Amy Earnhardt]

And then went and hacked up that chair connection there.

[Steve]

Something's to that.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Like, you are too loose and you have no couth right now. This is a pattern.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Today we're gonna do the show and then I'm gonna go over to the late model stock shop to say hello and check in. I haven't been over there much at all. And I've got a race next weekend in Cordeal, Georgia, and this will be the first race. I think that. I guess. You're not coming.

[Amy Earnhardt]

I'm not coming.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

You're not coming. Yeah. So Amy won't be there. You remember the voicemail that you played on here?

[Amy Earnhardt]

I do, yeah. I'm hoping to get another one, so.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

I love going racing. I'm gonna have a blast. But, oh, man, am I gonna miss my family. That's gonna be tough. What's going on this weekend? I'm going to Darlington. You're going to darling to watch the Xfinity race, hang out with Sammy.

[Amy Earnhardt]

I think that's it. I mean, we've got little things here and there. There needs to be some downtime. We've gotten to where we're so busy, if we don't have anything to do, we feel like we have to fill the void instead of just enjoying nothing and being like, it's okay to relax and it's okay to rest and it's okay for the kids to be bored. I don't like having, like, schedules.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Damn, I'm glad to hear you say that.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Play dates and things like that all the time. Like go outside and just get into something. Play in the dirt.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Yeah. We'll be sitting there and Amy's like, we gotta get these kids out of the house.

[Amy Earnhardt]

We gotta do this, that, and the other thing. They get stir crazy, but they just need to get out.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

I'm like, nobody was worried about me when I was a little kid.

[Amy Earnhardt]

You were outside.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

I know. I'm just saying. No, my parents weren't like, we need to take the kids and do X, Y and Z. They were just like, hey, get over and do that.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Well, life could have been a little bit better if you had a little bit more events with your family.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

These kids are in heaven. They have more than enough, and they do more than enough. They go more than enough. We take them all over the place. They need to just learn. They need to learn how to go upstairs and play.

[Amy Earnhardt]

I agree.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

You know, they're excited when they get something for Christmas and then they don't even fool with it the rest of the year.

[Amy Earnhardt]

I don't really know the answer except that they're used to having someone playing with them. I told Ayla the other day, she's like, I'm bored. I'm like, what are you gonna do about that? I'm not coming to play with you. What are you gonna do to fix that? So she just disappeared. And now the kids are getting old enough where they like to play together. I just worry about what they're getting into together.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

What do you mean?

[Amy Earnhardt]

Like, one of them's got the big idea and one of them's gonna help them do it. You know, they're conspiring now. They're into something like they're upstairs. They can sneak over to my. To the closet and get into my makeup.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Oh, yeah.

[Amy Earnhardt]

I went to put a skirt on the other day and there's a big hole in it. Cause they, like, run through the clothing racks and the way back, we've just got like big racks that are high so they can fly through there. And they do. And there's schmears on some of my skirts from, like somebody's got their face on it or holes in this and that. I'm like, you gotta be a little bit concerned when they're upstairs and they're quiet. As long as they're on their side, you can hear them stomping around, it's fine. But I'd rather them just kick them outside.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Yeah.

[Steve]

Silence is concerning.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Silence is concerning. Absolutely.

Awkward situations can really make you sweat for me it was being shown on national television during Ohio State football games in the college football playoffs.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Today we're gonna do a little blind ranking for our biggest fears. So there's gonna be 10 things Ralph and we have to put them in a ranking from 1 to 10. Just as they pop up we have to place them.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Yep.

[Steve]

As place them. Can't move them once.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Can't move them around.

[Steve]

One is the biggest fear. Tenth is the is the least least fear. Okay, our first fear. Deep water. Where are you gonna place that one?

[Amy Earnhardt]

Deep water Coming out with deep water first. Let's see. I would say six.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Six I go with let's move to seven.

[Steve]

Seven.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Is that all right?

[Steve]

I already put six. All right, so it's gonna be six.

[Amy Earnhardt]

There's Stuff in the deep water.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

We don't know that. He didn't say that. It's just deep water.

[Amy Earnhardt]

That's the assumption, though, when their fear is lying with the fact that I.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

This man.

[Amy Earnhardt]

There may be something lurking in the water.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

This man said deep water was something.

[Amy Earnhardt]

I used to get scared in the deep end of the swimming pool, knowing there was no fish in there.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

If he said deep water with something lurking, I'm moving it to 3, 2. He said deep water, period.

[Amy Earnhardt]

That's the fear, though. Your mind is what's creating the fear.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Mind do that? It's like racing a car. If you worried about getting hurt, you're gonna not.

[Amy Earnhardt]

That's why I preface this whole thing with are you scared of anything? The answer is meh. Not really.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Okay.

[Amy Earnhardt]

You're not scared of deep water? Thinking, like, there's a shark or something that could grab my foot.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

It might not be salt water.

[Amy Earnhardt]

There's stuff in every deep. There's every body of deep water. There's something. Okay, all right, what's next?

[Steve]

Next one is rejection.

[Amy Earnhardt]

That still is number one.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Yeah, that's pretty hot. I won't say three.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Really? Rejection, no over deep water?

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Yes. Rejection sucks, man. That's real. Deep water is just water. What the hell? Where would you put it, Amy, on your list?

[Amy Earnhardt]

Rejection? Yeah, maybe five.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Okay, so we'll put it at four. Four.

[Steve]

The next one's spiders.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Ten.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Ten.

[Steve]

Oh, really?

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

I'm gonna step on them.

[Steve]

Ghosts.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Ghosts.

[Steve]

Ghosts.

[Amy Earnhardt]

I don't know. Pretty. Pretty right in the middle.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Five.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Yeah. Five.

[Steve]

Five. All right, you have four, five, six, and ten already locked up. The next one is storms.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Nine.

[Steve]

Nine.

[Amy Earnhardt]

I mean, it could be. It could be. It's not just rain. Like, that's the thing. Storms could be.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Yeah. I mean, if we live somewhere different geographically, I might, you know, change that. But in North Carolina, there, for the.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Most part, we're not dealing with tsunamis or too many hurricanes. It's not that bad here.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Yeah.

[Steve]

How about mice?

[Amy Earnhardt]

I mean, if they're going to get lamer than mice, we might need to move it up.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

I mean, I would say a mouse, so it's funny you asked that, of course. Caught two in the last week.

[Steve]

Yeah, see, I would think this is low on your guys list because you have so much experience with mice.

[Amy Earnhardt]

So the. If the mouse was to jump on me, I would be freaking out.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Right. So I would. So that's true. I would, too.

[Amy Earnhardt]

I've had that happen, by the way. Have I told you that story?

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Oh, my gosh.

[Amy Earnhardt]

He Used to have cats.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

This is so awesome.

[Amy Earnhardt]

And so one of the cats, Tux, would go out the dog door and come right back in at night. He'd go out and prowl, catch field mice. They come in and he would leave him usually, like, in the dog room, which is downstairs, or on the steps outside. And they were dead. They were always dead. So he's at the racetrack one weekend, and I didn't go. Right. He was somewhere. I didn't go.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

I was there. I was in the bed with you.

[Amy Earnhardt]

You were not in the bed with me.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Really?

[Amy Earnhardt]

No, I was sleeping, and Killer was in the bed with me. You were not there. Tux comes in to the bedroom, making that weird. You know how cats do in the middle of the night if they're prowling around and I'm fully asleep. But I realize that Tux is now in the bed making this noise. And I open my eyes, and Tux's paws are on my chest. He's standing on me, and all of a sudden, I feel something scurry down my whole body. He brought a mouse all the way upstairs into the bed, into the bed to show it to me, and it was alive.

[Steve]

Oh, my God.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Crawled into the bed. Oh, it was the weirdest little scurry. Like, it was on top of the covers, I think. So. Like, I didn't fully feel it all the way down to my feet, but, like, I felt it down my chest. It was awful. We found that thing downstairs underneath the couch. It had gotten loose and, like, lived a couple days in the house somehow and then died under the couch. Yeah. So that's why I'm scared of the mice just a little bit more than Dale. Cause I know what that feels like.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

That's torture.

[Amy Earnhardt]

It was awful. And Tux is really proud of himself.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

So what open? What? What do we have open?

[Steve]

You have 1, 2, 3, 7, and 8 open. You guys are setting yourself up.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

7 and 8 here.

[Steve]

Yeah, 7 and 8's open.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

So you want to put mice at three?

[Amy Earnhardt]

No, for, like, I would say seven.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Seven. Okay.

[Steve]

You guys are setting yourself up here. Oh, there's blood's next. But there's going to be scarier ones. You got to think. But blood's the next one.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

3.

[Amy Earnhardt]

I'm not scared of blood so much. It's like, if. If, like, I. I can do boo boos and blood, no problem.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

You can, too. But I mean it. Sometimes if he's just.

[Amy Earnhardt]

If it's associated with, like, a bone sticking out of your leg, that's going to. I Don't know.

[Steve]

What about drawing blood? Like with the needle going in?

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

No, I don't like it. It's uncomfortable. Hurts a little bit.

[Steve]

You got eight open or one, two, three?

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

I'm gonna say that we're gonna need to put it at 8, but 3 would work too. Because sometimes when I see blood, I get scared. Like if I. If I don't know where it come from, I go, what. What happened? Who's bleeding? Why is there blood? So there is some fear.

[Amy Earnhardt]

I don't panic like he does when I see the. When I see things like that.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

So we were riding gator in the. Me and. Me and Truex were riding some gators one night in on my property. And we're just hauling ass around, just being idiots. And I got T on my gator. I think I have T.J. and Willie. My. My father.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Your stepdad.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Stepdad. And man, this was a long time ago. And Truex. I chased Truex into this field and he does a couple of donut or he. He just starts going in a circle and I start going in a circle and I'm trying to catch him. And so I'm running a tighter circle and I. And I rolled it, flipped it over, and I. It's on its side and I'm standing up in it and I'm looking down and I'm like, oh, no, Willie, you got some blood on you there, man. Bleeding. And so initially I was like, some. I've hurt Willie or, you know, so there's that.

[Amy Earnhardt]

That's scarier because that's why I would.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

But it was my head that was bleeding, but.

[Amy Earnhardt]

But it was. The blood was on Willie.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Dripping on Willie.

[Amy Earnhardt]

And I saw.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

I saw it. It just dripped one drop. And I was like, oh, man, Willie bleeding.

[Amy Earnhardt]

So if you get somebody else's blood on you. Yeah, that's a little. That goes into the ick box.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

That. So that's ick. But there was initial. Oh, crap, you know, some. And so I don't know.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Three. Three are.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

What about like when you cut your finger real bad? Not, you know, in the kitchen.

[Amy Earnhardt]

So I've done that, cuz I got.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

That's. No, there's not.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Initially.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

There's not like a fear initially when you're doing. When it happens?

[Amy Earnhardt]

No, I'm more mad at myself like, you fool. Cool. You should have known better. But anytime.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

I'm trying my hardest to get this to number three.

[Amy Earnhardt]

He likes. He wants three. He's scared.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Put it at seven. I'm not scared of blood.

[Steve]

Eight open seven's taken.

[Amy Earnhardt]

It's either eight or three.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Bloody eight. I tried. All right.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Hopefully the rest of them are scary.

[Steve]

This one, I'm interested to see what this one's all about. Heights.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Oh, you guys get her heights?

[Amy Earnhardt]

Yeah.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

I would say it's probably not a three, but we got no choice.

[Steve]

Would you have put that below blood?

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

I would. No, no. Heights are scarier than blood.

[Steve]

It's scarier than blood.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

I would say heights is probably a five or six, but three it is.

[Steve]

Three's not bad. How about snakes?

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

One or two?

[Steve]

You only got one or two, so.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

I definitely put it at one or two.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Let's put two.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Snakes are freaking freaky.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Yeah.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

All right.

[Steve]

Your number one fear. Crowds of people.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Crowds of people.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Snakes and crowds. But they can't do it. Yeah, no, I don't like crowds.

[Amy Earnhardt]

I don't love crowds either.

[Steve]

Where would you have put crowds of people if you had them all open?

[Amy Earnhardt]

I don't know. Eight probably put blood at three.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Tried to put blood at three. Damn it, Amy.

[Steve]

This is your list. You got crowds.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

That is marriage right there. In a nutshell. Yeah.

[Steve]

You had crowds of people. 1. Snakes. 2, heights.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

3.

[Steve]

Rejection. 4, ghost. 5, deep water.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

6.

[Steve]

Mice. 7, blood. 8, storms, 9. And spiders, 10.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

There you go.

[Steve]

That's the list.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

No, not too bad. I won't go somewhere if I think if I'm nervous. Like, I don't like crowds, so I won't go to a thing.

[Amy Earnhardt]

I would be more scared of ghosts than a crowd.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Like, there was a. Like, there's a concert last night, and I'm like, if I could go, I probably would be hesitant because of the crowd.

[Amy Earnhardt]

I went to Brixton Den on Friday, and it was awesome. I didn't think twice about the crowd. I saw people I knew.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

I know we're different.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Yeah, we are different. Obviously. Very different. Hi, guys. We are here for Ask Amy. Dale is making things awkward, as per usual.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Talking to you about something.

[Amy Earnhardt]

He's looking at his journal and reading me poems from his journal. He wrote. Yeah.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

I wrote you sonnets.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Yeah. Thanks for being here. If you haven't already, subscribe with the subscribe button for our YouTube page. And I think we're ready for some questions. What do you got, Tim?

[Steve]

We are. Our first question is from Kathy. She wants to know how the donkeys are doing.

[Amy Earnhardt]

The donkeys are doing really well. They've settled in and they're all, like, best friends now. I was just telling Dale I took a walk yesterday, and they all have pollen up their nose. Like, we all do. But they're having a great time.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Yeah.

[Steve]

They're getting along together.

[Amy Earnhardt]

They're all getting along. Yeah.

[Steve]

That's awesome. Our next question is from Travis with it being throwback weekend at Darlington. Amy, I have to ask you what you thought about Dale's frosted tips back in the day.

[Amy Earnhardt]

So it's funny. It feels like that's like a totally different human being that existed back then because the version of Dale that was then is definitely not the version of Dale I have now. I think any guy that frosted their hair careful was a little silly.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Careful.

[Amy Earnhardt]

I can't imagine him doing that, to be honest. Which is why I feel like is a totally different guy.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

He wasn't style.

[Steve]

Yeah, it was the style.

[Amy Earnhardt]

It was. I know, but like, I have to schedule his haircuts now. He refuses to even go. But back then he was going regularly to get his tips frosted. So I mean. Yeah, you know what I mean? Just.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

It was painful.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Yeah. He pulled it through the cap.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Didn't they put the cap on and they poke in there?

[Amy Earnhardt]

Yeah, they don't use those anymore.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

And they will always poke you. They don't have to go. They don't have to hurt you. But they crochet hook.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Yeah, it is painful.

[Steve]

That's funny. Speaking of which, like, one, the question is from Jake. The broadcast, I guess, was shown a lot of clips of Dale's last Martinsville win and he wants to know what. Do you have a favorite victory of Dale's that you were a part of?

[Amy Earnhardt]

That one was pretty up there. Yeah, I was there for the 500 win in Daytona and that was epic, too. That whole week was epic because it like is followed by media and traveling all over the place and you just don't really know how to wrap your head around all the things that are about to happen. Especially me. I've never done it before. But Martinsville was really special. We thought that stage was going to collapse because the guys were jumping up and down so hard and the clocks rocking all over the place.

[Steve]

Yeah.

[Amy Earnhardt]

So that one was really good.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

That's good.

[Steve]

It's got the best trophy, too.

[Amy Earnhardt]

It is a cool trophy.

[Steve]

Yeah.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

What was your favorite post race party?

[Amy Earnhardt]

I don't remember any of them, to be honest.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Me and, me and Latart were talking yesterday. So when we won, we always went back home and drank till the sun came up.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Yeah.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

And the biggest time, the biggest post race party that we had was after a third place run at Sonoma.

[Steve]

Oh, really?

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Yeah. We partied harder over that Third place run at Sonoma than we did. Any of the wins.

[Steve]

That's kind of funny.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Yeah. That was a surprise.

[Steve]

This next question is from Ronnie. I just became a grandpa for the first time, but I'm too young to be called Grandpa. What should I go by? And what did you guys call your grandparents?

[Amy Earnhardt]

Well, congratulations. That's so sweet. I have a granddaddy and a pawpaw. Both are still with us. You had a granddaddy? And we refer to Del Sr. As Papa Dale. Also Papa.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Papa. I like Papa. I like Pops. So we call Tony Senior Pops.

[Amy Earnhardt]

My dad is Pop. I don't know. Sometimes you gotta wait till I just see if the babies do it for you.

[Steve]

Yeah, they'll usually come up with the.

[Amy Earnhardt]

They come up with something cool and maybe something cooler than you would have. So you gotta. You can wait.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Unfortunately, I don't think he gets to choose.

[Steve]

Yeah, that's. Whatever they do. I think in the north it is more traditional Grandpa and grandma. But down south there's a lot more. Different names.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Yeah. Meemaw people. And it usually kind of goes together like that.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Where are you from?

[Steve]

Long Island, New York.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Yeah. You guys also say dungarees?

[Steve]

Dungarees, yeah, my dad says that.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Really?

[Steve]

Such a weird word.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

So I was like, how many freaking syllables is that instead of just pants or jeans?

[Steve]

I know, I don't even. Well, I think Dunkiris and jeans are different apparently.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

I remember.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Well, Duncan Reese was a brand.

[Steve]

Was it?

[Amy Earnhardt]

Yeah.

[Steve]

Oh, I didn't even know that.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

I remember. I remember we had this nanny back when we were kids that she said dungarees and I was like, oh, my God, I'm in hail.

[Amy Earnhardt]

I'm in. I'm in hail.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

I'm in hail.

[Steve]

Our next question, Josh, he's having baby number two. It's on the way. It'll be two under two and he wants to know how different is it going from one girl to two girls?

[Amy Earnhardt]

Oh, Josh, I'm going to pray for you and your soul. I'm just kidding. Two girls is great, but two under two, that's a lot. I will say this. It's life changing having the first baby and not so hard having another one because you just know what you're doing. But the dynamic changes forever in the house because the first child has to now compete with the second child for attention and the baby's nap schedule and all the things kind of take precedence. So everybody's got to be quiet where they didn't before. It's just a little harder that way. I Don't know. Two girls is. It's working out for us, but it's a lot like 1 is 1. I've heard this before, and it's true. 1 is 1 and 2 is 20. The energy level is, you know, very big. It's very big difference between one and two.

[Steve]

I think I've heard, like, Brad Keselowski say, it's like the more he had, the more. It's like you don't have enough arms or hands for all of them. You're just kind of like. You're hoping to kind of hang out. Playing zone or whatever is the famous quote. Yeah, I imagine that.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Yeah. But it's not bad. It's not that hard. And that them being so close together in age, they're best friends, so that's really good.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Yeah.

[Steve]

202. Seems like that's when they get older, they almost take care of themselves. Dale, any contact lens update is another one that come in the chat. They want to know about your contact lenses.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

We are not. We're not doing it.

[Amy Earnhardt]

They're still in the bag. All the little boxes are still in the bag. From the optometrist sitting in the bathroom like a bag of shame.

[Steve]

Yeah. What's the holdup?

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Well, there's a couple things. My vision isn't as good with them in as it is with glass. I mean, I think I actually see better without the lint. The contact. When I put the contacts lens in, my vision at distance gets worse. And so I feel like we just.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Need to revisit the actual.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

I think I need to go back and just give it a start from scratch with my eye doctor and see how that goes. Because, yeah, when I. They told me, they're like, you're not gonna see as good as you can with your glasses. Your glasses are always gonna be better. Right. And that's what they're telling me. They're like, your glasses are just always going to be clearer. And that's true, but I do get tired of, like, having them on my face, and so it would be nice to get to the. Where I could wear the contact lenses. But when I put them in, I see worse than even without lenses altogether. Right. So something's just not quite right there. But, yeah, I remember when I put them in, and I was. I was at the doctor's office, and I put them in, and I looked outside, and I was like. I was about to walk out the door. They were like, all right, have a great day. And I'm like, yeah, okay. And I got to the door, and I looked out the window, and I was like, I can't. Everything across the street's blurry. And I stopped. I turned around. I was like, hey, y'all. Like, everything. Everything at like, 200, 300, 500 yards is real blurry. Like, it's not clear at all. They're like, come back in here. And I went back in there, and we messed around, and I just never got satisfied with that. And I don't. I just rather. I wouldn't wear. I just rather not wear anything and just have some readers than to wear contacts that make me see worse.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Yeah, he doesn't like touching his eye either. Like, Amy has to put in, and.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

He has to take them out too much for him. Just. I could get that down, I think, eventually. But it's a tough thing, man, trying to get that thing in there.

[Steve]

There's a learning curve. There's a learning curve, for sure. Our last question in the chat is, they want to know if you guys. Who cooks the most at home and what is your favorite meal that you cook?

[Amy Earnhardt]

I absolutely cook the most at home. I feel like I show Dale my cards too early with cooking because. Yeah, I did. When we were dating. I started cooking mostly just because I didn't want to eat pizza and chicken wings.

[Steve]

Yeah.

[Amy Earnhardt]

And. And he'll eat anything I make for the most part. But his favorite meal, I think, is the buffalo chicken soup. Anything buffaloed he loves. He's been grilling steaks, though, lately, and so we're trying to make the girls just eat what we're eating instead of catering to them. So he's been in the kitchen a little bit more lately.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Yeah, I've been doing the steaks in a skillet and sear on the skillet and then into the oven for about eight minutes, and just been having fun with that, but not really going outdoors just yet. But it's about that time of year, you know, where you start going out. I've been wanting to smoke some ribs or something here on a Sunday, so maybe this weekend we'll do something.

[Amy Earnhardt]

But what's your favorite thing that I make?

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Yeah, that's. My mother used to make that. What was that? Casserole?

[Amy Earnhardt]

I don't know. So it's got mushrooms in it, which is why I don't make it chicken something. It was like a. Basically, like an Alfredo style.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Yeah, it was so good. She used to make one, and I'd eat on that for a couple weeks, and so that was kind of my favorite thing that she made. But Amy, I Mean, Amy cooks all kinds of awesome stuff. I would say, was it. Weren't we doing some, like, that peanut sauce noodle stuff? I love that anytime you're doing that stuff. But, yeah, she's right. There's a buffalo soup dish that she makes. It's really good. But.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Yeah, I haven't made that in a while.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

No, it's. I mean, it's. She. Every. There's not like a dish that's, like, super badass that stands out. There's just a lot of. I mean, they're all good.

[Amy Earnhardt]

He's like, I'm good. I'm fine.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Yeah, they're all good. And everything she cooks always tastes great, and she's always trying something different. Kenny, my coach driver, his. He. His salmon is very simple and basic, and anyone can do it. I know that it's not anything trick. He puts it in a fryer and the air fryer and. But it's always perfect.

[Steve]

Yeah.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

And he was a cook, so he.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Had a restaurant at work.

[Steve]

Oh, really?

[Amy Earnhardt]

Yeah. So he's got a leg up.
