The following is a production of Dirty Mo Media.
Amy
Bless your heart. Oh, yeah. This is the way it's going to be. We're going to hang out.
Dale
Oh, you look amazing.
Amy
I could stare at you all day.
Dale
Are you kidding me?
Amy
I couldn't believe it. What's going on? The world is not your trash can.
Dale
I slept till 2. Smoking cigarettes and drinking Amp Energy.
Amy
Lord have mercy. All right, well, let's get started.
Dale
Where should we begin?
Amy
Can we start off with what happened this morning at home with the kids? So we've seen this challenge called, like the cookie Challenge. And you're supposed to put the cookies out, covered up. Each. Each person gets their own little plate. And you put two cookies under each kid's napkin and you hide the cookies from your kids. You hide the cookies on a plate. Dad gets one, mom gets none. So everybody. Yeah, everybody's plate's covered.
Dale
Everybody's plates covered. We're all sitting at the table. I know that I have One cupcake?
Amy
Yeah. We had cupcakes from my birthday, so we use those instead of cookies.
Dale
Amy knows that she will have no cupcake in her plate. The kids don't know what's going on.
Amy
No.
Dale
And each of them will have two cupcakes.
Amy
They're like these little mini cupcakes.
Dale
It's a challenge.
Amy
Yes. So we uncover the bowls, and immediately they're both super excited that they get cupcakes for breakfast. And dad says, oh, I got one. And each year the girl says, I got two. And I said, I have none.
Dale
What?
Amy
Just, you know, being dramatic. And Nicole goes, ooh, ooh. That's, you know, like.
Dale
No, Nicole went. That's exactly what came out of her mouth.
Amy
Well, she looked at me like.
Dale
She looked at you went. She did. She started antagonizing you.
Amy
She was not bothered.
Dale
I heard it because, I mean, I know that sound. I make it. And so.
Amy
And Isla looks at hers, and she looks at me, and she gives me one of hers. So between the two children, we now know who is the empathetic one and who is not.
Dale
And I. It happened like I. I thought it would.
Amy
It happened the opposite.
Dale
You thought it was. You thought Nicole.
Amy
Yeah. Nicole's usually the one that will share food. She's more empathetic. She likes to cuddle. I thought she would be the one that would be more thoughtful, but it didn't work out.
Dale
So for me, this goes along with the idea that I have that me and Nicole are very similar. I, too, love cuddling, but I, too.
Amy
What? You both don't.
Dale
I, too, lack that awareness in those moments where I'm like, I should share this or I should have made. I should have taken care of this other person that's doing this with me. Right. Or made sure that they have.
Amy
You think that's a genetic trait?
Dale
Maybe not a genetic trait, but it's, like, acquired. Like, I think Nicole has learned from me because of our. I think because of our connection, whatever. Our weird chemistry or universal connection, because of our date, the dates of our births, and just the similarities I see in her and what I see when I see. I see a lot of myself in her. And we're connected. I think she, too, looks at me and goes, odd connection I have with this person.
Amy
I think it's just because you're both second kids.
Dale
And so, yeah, two. Yeah. All of those things, I think, make us magnets.
Amy
Okay.
Dale
And so she's, like, picking up a lot of my traits, good and bad. Right. And so I was. I. If you said if we should have asked each other, I guess, how this was gonna go, how we thought it might go.
Amy
Well, I told you yesterday in the plane, when we discussed doing this because we had the cupcakes on the way home, we're like, we have to do that challenge. I thought for sure Nicole would have given me one. And Isla reached across the table to hand me one. She was like, oh, that's so sad. Mom doesn't have one.
Dale
Yes.
Amy
And of course, I gave it back to her because I didn't really want to eat it to begin with. And we told her, like, it's just a test and gold star for you.
Dale
I was just relieved that one of the kids was.
Amy
Yeah, that's.
Dale
I was like. When we got done, I was thinking, damn, Amy, if neither one of our kids tried to hand you a cupcake, we'd be so sad.
Amy
We are doing some days thinking about what.
Dale
What are we doing wrong in parenting? But that's a fun challenge for parents. If you have two kids out there, or even, I guess you could do it with one even.
Amy
Sure.
Dale
But, you know, cookies, cupcakes, it doesn't. Whatever it has to be and just cover it all up. Sit them, you know, sit down, uncover it. Mom goes, oh, I don't have anything. Even dad can lean into that and go, yeah, Mom. Mom doesn't have one. And just see how the child reacts. It's pretty fun to watch over them.
Amy
All and just say nothing.
Dale
See if this kid that's really setting them up for fail.
Amy
Not really failing.
Dale
I think so.
Amy
Depends on the age of the kid. Especially if you just have one.
Dale
The person that told us about this said, you need to lean into it a little bit. It's like a kind of a guide them, guide them, guide them along least.
Amy
Well, it was fun because you don't.
Dale
Want them to not do it.
Amy
Yeah, I know. It was funny. It was a good way to start the day. This morning was dynamic at our house.
Dale
It was a couple things. Quick, I won't drag this out. This morning I got a text from Steve Latarc to download this app.
Amy
Yeah, I saw that. You sent that out. I did not. I did not touch that.
Dale
I said. It said. It said, join Steve Latart on the Beer Buddy app. And I texted him back, I said, man, these scam texts are getting better and better. More clever every day. And he laughed. And he's apparently with his son overseas where his son's going to college, and they're just kind of hanging out and enjoying some father son time. And his son was showing him this beer buddy app. So you basically download the app anytime you're having a drink. You check in and let your friends, your beer buddies know you're having a drink. And I don't know that it does much else other than that. I just got it this morning, and so I've been sending it out.
Amy
I'm tapping it right now just to see what it looks like. I don't know. This is too many steps.
Dale
I know. Well, I'm gonna try. You must post my first post.
Amy
Oh. Oh, you have to. Oh. You just send pictures of yourself.
Dale
Wait. And it has a picture in the picture.
Amy
Huh.
Ralph
It's. I think it sends the picture to both cameras so you'll see what's out in front of you and yourself.
Dale
I don't. Oh. So I don't really need it. I don't know. I don't understand what. Why is.
Amy
Are you too old?
Dale
Oh, I can flip it to show, like, what's going on me. And this is where I am.
Ralph
Yeah.
Dale
Ah, great.
Amy
Well, Steve's in Paris, so I'm sure his clips are pretty awesome right now. Yeah, he was sending me pictures of champagne yesterday.
Dale
I'll tag two people that are in this room.
Amy
Speaking of scams, we had something funny happen yesterday.
Dale
We did.
Amy
I got a text message from a man. I'll just read it to you. My phone is still a mess from Dale's social media post about my birthday. Let's see here. It says, hey, tell Dale to get a hold of me in the morning, please. My messages aren't going through to him for some reason. Thanks, Bill. And it's from an unknown number. And I googled the area code is from West Virginia. And so after talking to Dale, knowing that he doesn't know Bill from West Virginia, we just responded with, hey, Bill, I don't know Dale, but I would love to give you a cash offer on 642 Parkway Drive. Reply yes if interested or stop if wanting to unsubscribe to these messages. And he immediately replied, stop.
Ralph
Oh, my God.
Amy
So it could be a real person? We don't really know. It didn't go any further than that. He never text back afterwards, but I feel like we should mess with him a little bit more.
Dale
I don't know. I'm a little nervous because.
Amy
Who do you think it could possibly be?
Dale
Well, they're going to learn. We're going to learn when they hear this show. Yeah. So I don't know.
Amy
I don't feel like Bill's listening As a listener. Let's see here. I got one this morning. It was a different. It was an easy pass. So everybody's getting the easy pass ones. Yeah, I thought about just copy and pasting that into Bill's chain.
Dale
No, I'm gonna be so mad. So he replied, stop. He's gonna be like, stop, stop, stop. Yeah, I get these scam texts and sometimes I'll write back like, you get the scam text about like, I want to buy your property. And it'll list some address and you're not familiar with. And it's apparently some address connected to the phone. The, the person who had the number before you. So all of your phone numbers, someone else had it at some point probably. Apparently the person that had the phone number that I have signed up for everything and subscribed to everything and their number. This number is everywhere. I get all kinds of stuff, you know, when, obviously everybody gets all the election texts when they, when all that stuff's going on. And so when, when we get. When I get those, I always write back. I either write back something super nasty or write back something like, Amy wrote like, hey, I don't know that, but I would love to buy your property at some made up address. And, and so we were, we were riding down the road and. And. And so the. Apparently these scam texts have gotten so sophisticated. People can get a text message from and what appears like a friend's phone number. And it'll even say the names like Kelly will maybe get a text and it'll say, hey, Kelly, I need to talk to you ASAP or whatever. It might say something Dale Jr. Or LW. Right.
Amy
And it's like, is that really happening for her?
Dale
No, but it. Look, I've heard about these where. These are very personalized scams, which is what I got. Yeah, well, but it's a real person. Yours is not a scammer.
Amy
I don't know that for sure.
Dale
No, yours is a real person.
Amy
How does that person have my phone number?
Dale
I don't know.
Amy
And it's not. His texts are not going through here.
Dale
It's going to. When we learn.
Amy
There's no way. You don't even. Like we even looked at the phone number. We Google searched the phone number.
Dale
It is a person. Because when you went wrote back your fake scam, they. They typed in stop.
Amy
Don't you think AI had to do that? No. It could totally be AI.
Dale
No, because AI would have did capital stop, which is what you put in your. Your text. They wrote capital S lowercase Top.
Amy
Oh, maybe if it's a lazy AI.
Dale
I mean, my goodness, Amy.
Amy
I don't believe it.
Dale
It is a real person on the. It's a Bill. And when we learn who it is, it's going to make so much sense and we're going to feel really foolish.
Amy
I don't feel foolish. I think this is funny. We didn't. We didn't say anything. I don't feel foolish.
Dale
I know, but we're going to go. Oh, damn that Bill. Oh, I remember. Bill, we're sorry. We're. This is what we were doing. That's how this is going to go for you. Okay.
Amy
I'm fine with it.
Dale
Well, all right. We'll see. We will. I'm going to make some notes when all this goes down. How fine with it you are.
Amy
Okay.
Dale
But I feel like it was very funny.
Amy
It was fun in the moment. It's harmless fun to mess with him.
Dale
It's harmless fun, Bill.
Amy
That's what he gets for texting me instead of somebody else.
Dale
You want to know something that's strange?
Amy
What?
Dale
On the weird front this morning.
Amy
I like keeping it weird. Yeah. Give it to me.
Dale
I need some help this morning. This has got me so spun out. So I'll try to make this make sense. There's cool logos and stuff that are connected to my nostalgia in racing. And so I'll have a small dozen or two dozen of those logos made in patch form. And then I got a guy that will put the patch on the hat for me, right? And I get the Richardson 112 or the 115 usually, and send them the patches and say, man, you just put it on a bunch of different hats. You'll make it look good and mail me the hats back. He mails me the hats back in a box, sleeved, all nice. It's good. I take them home and I wear them and I. I've done this a couple times, three or four times. Ryan upstairs will make the patch for me, and he designs a patch. He designs the patch from the logo. He gets a picture or something and designs the patch from the logo. And so I wore, for example, I wore this Osterlin patch throughout the entire speed weeks at Daytona. And I wore that because that was the team that dad drove for in his first Daytona 500. And instead of wearing a sponsor hat or junior motorsports hat, I wore that because it was in my. It was my first Daytona 500 as an owner. And I just love the. I don't know, the feeling. It gave me a feeling you know, and so I had those hats made with that Australin patch on there, probably two dozen. And I still have more than three quarters of those in that cardboard box in a sleeve. I may have gave in. I may have gave away eight of those hats, Max. And I gave them away to people I know very well. Very new. Yeah, very well.
Amy
Did someone not appreciate it and give it to someone else?
Dale
Someone. An individual. Nice guy walks into the lobby this morning before you got here, and he's got that hat on. And he says, yeah, you know, I'm working on this project. And I was like, oh, well, then I must have gave you that hat when we were working on. We were working on this project, a TV project together, and he's in production. And I said, I must have gave you that hat, man. Awesome hat. He goes, no, I bought it at the Mooresville antique Mall for 10 bucks. Wow.
Amy
It went out with the trash. Well, quit giving your away, man. I don't know.
Dale
I don't give it away. Like, oh, who will take all of this?
Amy
No, I understand you gifted that to someone. It was special. Special to you.
Dale
It didn't go out to Goodwill. I mean, we. We always donate, and we have.
Amy
Yeah, we donate.
Dale
I have a pickup truck that's parked in my garage. Yep, I have a pickup truck that's parked in my garage. We donate clothes all the time right now.
Amy
We sneak our kids toys out there too. And it is clothes.
Dale
It is slammed full right now with stuff I need to take to donate. And. But this was given away in, like, hey, man, I have had these special made. I think you'll like to have one. And I didn't give it to someone that I didn't think wanted it. So weird.
Amy
So now you gotta try to figure out.
Dale
Now I gotta go back and find out. Okay, where's this case in the antique mall. Who's connected to this case? How did it end up in the case? I don't know if I'll be able to go through the CSI work, but.
Amy
Which antique mall?
Dale
Mooresville.
Amy
The one over at Violino's.
Dale
There's only one.
Amy
Oh, no, there's cute. There's few, really. The biggest one is out there.
Dale
I'm assuming it's the big one. No, Burlington building. So somehow it ended up in a case. The guy said he's just walking through there and saw it. I was like, oh, I like that. That's. I recognize that. That's neat.
Amy
You didn't have them made that long ago either?
Dale
No. Damn.
Amy
We can. I can Help you figure this out.
Dale
If there's more in the case. What else is in the case?
Amy
You have one of those hats in the Suburban and I could, I could make a trip by the mall. This hat in here. Those ladies might remember, man, that spun.
Dale
Me out, that turned me upside down.
Amy
Well, if, if your friend is listening and he knows that he might help.
Dale
He, I'm certainly, you know, probably he got out of here before I thought to ask him. Like, hey, could you, could you tell me about what case or where the case is? Because I'll just go to the case and then I can ask the ladies.
Amy
And see what else is in there.
Dale
Yeah, there might be some other stuff in there. I go, hey, I know that and that. But I could ask the ladies like, hey, whose case is this? Right, right. I'm just curious and.
Amy
Well, there's not a ton of hat cases in there. We could probably figure it out.
Dale
Well, there's all sorts of old NASCAR stuff in there and there's. There's cases with hats, die casts and all kinds. Everything and everything in them. So I'm not thinking it's like a case just with just hats. It might have like all kinds of stuff in it. But man, and maybe I will. Maybe in about two hours I won't even care.
Amy
It hurt your feelings though. No, I know you. It's going to eat you up until.
Dale
You figure it did kind of hurt something. I don't know what it is.
Ralph
You gotta text everybody you gave it to and ask for a picture with it. Cuz you're making a. Yeah, I needed.
Amy
Selfie with this hat.
Dale
Yeah.
Ralph
And whoever doesn't send you one back, don't, don't. They got the person.
Amy
Do you remember who you gave them to?
Dale
I don't remember who I gave these hats to.
Ralph
That's the issue.
Dale
But I, I promise you, I've only given out less than a dozen to maybe less. Let me six or less people. It's not. There's the small net cast here, but let's move on. Okay, that's to be. To be continued. One thing I wanted to say also. Shout out to the inventor of the soft, soft close cabinets and toilet seats. I was talking to a buddy of mine, Lee, over at the parts counter. He's building a new house, right? And I'm thinking, man, this house is coming along really fast. Lee, are you in your house yet? Nope. But they put the cabinets in the other day and he's like, my little kids are learning what soft closed cabinets were because I saw one of them in the. In the kitchen. When we were walking through the house the other day, just looking around, trying to close the cabinet with his foot, and he's like, whoa, whoa, whoa, buddy. It'll close on its own. And so they're about to. They're about to move into this house. But I was like, you know what? I was like, that is a hell of an invention. And they have the toilet seats too. Like, you'll just. You'll just tap the lid and that thing just goes down real slow. And you know how much time that saves not having to, like, close it and put it down without. Because you don't want it to make a noise, right? You don't want it to go blown.
Amy
I don't care if it makes a noise. I just want you to close it.
Dale
Well, sometimes I'm taking my last pee, you're already in bed, and I don't want to bam. I don't want to be able to slam a. Slam a toilet lid down. But, man, up until probably about three or four years ago, toilet lids.
Amy
Three or four years ago?
Dale
Yeah. Well, our toilet, the ones I put in my house back when we built it. Shut. Don't. Don't shut slow. They slam. Like, if you tapped it, it would just slam. It would just fall.
Amy
The ones in the house, I replaced.
Dale
All of those when we got kids because we had those little toilet seats.
Amy
That the old seats closed soft.
Dale
Old seats did not close soft. Not the lid. Maybe the lid, but not the seat. And so when I would put it down, you had to hold it all the way down and rest it gently onto the, you know, the base of the toilet and not make a noise. And that's what you get.
Amy
Barbarian. You have to, like now, man, we.
Dale
Got the high tech stuff where, you know, which is probably pretty common these days. Everybody's probably got them now, but I just wanted to shout out whoever invented the soft close cabinets and the toilet seats.
Amy
You're so weird.
Dale
What? That's what? That's what this shows a lifestyle show that had made my life better. Saved me a ton of time. I can just tap the lid and I'll walk away instead of still standing in there putting the lid down. That's seconds.
Amy
How do we get the sink to make you wash your hands?
Dale
Stop. You don't have everybody in the world thinking, I don't wash my hands after I poo and pee. That's what everybody's gonna take away from this conversation. This whole thing about trying to celebrate the inventor of the guys he's just.
Amy
Trying to make sure the soft clothes works fast enough so he can rush to the sink and wash his hands.
Ralph
Thank you.
Dale
You're going to have everybody thinking I don't wash my hands after I use the bathroom. I wash sometimes. I just don't use soap.
Amy
Gross. Well, that's the whole freaking point.
Dale
Sometimes there's not any soap. What are you supposed to do?
Amy
There's always soap.
Dale
Not all the time. Not when you're, like, out and about. Maybe in our. In our own house.
Amy
Yes, honey, there's always soap when you're out and about.
Dale
See, this is what they're going to take away from this.
Amy
Is there not always soap in a men's bathroom? Somebody.
Ralph
Not a men's bathroom.
Dale
No, sir.
Amy
Really?
Dale
No. You're lucky.
Amy
Get paper towels and you'll get what is the problem?
Dale
And you'll go, this happened in Key west this past weekend. You'll go into the bathroom, there'll be no soap. You'll wash your hands and turn around and it's one of them damn blow air drying. You're like, I ain't got five minutes to stand here and get my hands dry.
Amy
I know it's Key West. And you'll be like, you just shake them out and pat them on your pants. You're good.
Dale
Then. You got to.
Amy
But at least they're clean.
Dale
No, no, no. You gotta wipe some of the water. Get the water off right now. You got it all over your body and your clothes. And then you gotta go turn the doorknob or grab the handle that the guy before you grab that didn't get his hands dry either. It is just all show. The man's bathroom experience, quite literally is not fun. Well, sometimes.
Amy
But I don't really know what to tell you there. But yeah. Thank God for a close a seat that closes softly so that you don't wake your wife up.

Speaking of Key west. Yeah, so we did went to Key West. Tim's and Travis from Dirty Bone Media went along and we were we had a great time. I need, I was thankful to get down there and probably the only real.
Amy
Window of time window of time to.
Dale
Do it until fall.
Amy
Yeah.
Dale
Funny thing happened though. So we get there and we go to Mary Ellen's great bar down this little alley. Awesome place though. And they they staff there is amazing. It does have touch tunes. So that drives it up near the top of the list of bars to go to at Key West. And of course we sit down and we're having some beers. It's just after lunch and we dive into the touch tunes and we're, you know, we have the agreement. Nobody skips, don't play, don't pay the extra coins to jump ahead.
Amy
Oh you did.
Dale
We did. We had that agreement that lasted for about an hour until I thought to play Eminence Front. And considering how we've discussed that very song on this show, I thought we could skip ahead with Eminence Front. And so we're sitting there and we must have been there two and a half hours having a Great time. We weren't really thinking to leave, but we were probably. Probably think, you know, there are some other places to go check out. And all of a sudden, what's New Pussycat, Please? And I'm like. And I'm. I'm sitting there. I'm Tell you what's going on in my head. I'm sitting there and I'm looking across the bar, seeing who's bobbing their head to this song. Like, there's. There's some.
Amy
How does what's New Pussycat Go?
Dale
I don't. It's. It's a Tom Jones.
Ralph
Tom Petty.
Dale
No, Tom Jones. Right.
Amy
I don't know.
Dale
Yeah, Tom Jones sings it, and so it's a very 70s, Poppy.
Amy
How's it going?
Dale
I don't know. I can't sing it.
Amy
You can't, huh?
Dale
You.
Amy
No, I probably shouldn't.
Dale
Okay.
Amy
You're a better singer than me. I thought for sure you'd go for it.
Dale
I don't know how. Whoa, whoa oh, whoa oh, yeah oh, yeah. And he just goes over and over with that. And I'm. But I'm. It's tolerable. I'm looking around and it actually, you know, it's tolerable because it's Key West. Key west is quirky. It's a quirky song. It kind of almost fit. You could. I mean, I looked around and thought somebody in here played it. And I'm like, I wonder if I can figure out who that was. And nobody's singing it. Nobody's mouthing the words. Nobody.
Amy
Nobody else is looking around to see who.
Dale
Nobody's bobbing their head. No, no. Everybody's just drinking their beers, having fun. There's some older folks here and there, folks my age, probably not older, but probably my age that I think is. You know, I look at them and go, they're older than me. They're probably 50. And so we're having a good time. And then after what's New Pussycat played Pussycat, what next song.
Ralph
The Macarena, I think arena came.
Dale
The Macarena. Played Macarena now. Then I started to. That's when I started to think.
Ralph
I think you said this was a mess.
Dale
That's when I started to think, somebody in here's effing with us. Somebody in here is, like, in there.
Amy
Trying to mess with the vibe.
Dale
Yeah, somebody's in here. Drank a little too many beers or had a little too. You know. They're just being goofy. I'm like, there's no way anybody wanted to play this Like, I can't wait to go play this song. But they're like, you know, we're having fun. This sounds fun. This will be funny. And I'm looking around going, all right, you know, we got to take back control. This damn jukebox. This is getting out of hand. And then we went and looked at the queue, so you can go into the app and you can see what songs are coming. So, you know, like, all right, my song's three songs away. Whatever. And next up are two back to back Celine Dion songs.
Amy
Yeah, yeah.
Ralph
Almost like the Titanic, like, song.
Dale
And I text Amy and I. I took a screenshot of.
Amy
I think, no, no, that's not how this happened.
Dale
How did it go?
Amy
You had. So here's the thing. I knew that you were going to be playing touch tunes at some point before you even left. Andrew and I had decided we were going to try to track you down.
Dale
Yep.
Amy
And with y'all. And so he finds the touch tune. He has the app and I don't. Because, you know, Dell's always playing the music. And so he finds the touch tunes bars. And I told you, I text you. I was like, I can't see where you are. I can't track you. Something's going on with our family sharing situation. So I couldn't track him. And so all weekend, I couldn't track him. And so when he got to Mary Ellen's, he texts and said, hey, we're sitting at Mary Ellen's, Damn it. And I was like, andrew, this is our chance. I was literally pulling in the front gate of the house. I stopped and I'm getting the mail. I stop him, like, this is our chance. He's at Mary Ellen's. You gotta do it. Cause he was gonna play what's new pussycat? Like 21 times.
Dale
Oh, my God.
Amy
It looping and keep going over and over again. And. But he couldn't get in there because it's an ami. So I text Tim Duggar.
Dale
That's an arrestable person.
Amy
Tim is the one that helped me do this. So we're googling, like, the most annoying songs to play in a bar. And we came up with a good short list.
Dale
And so.
Amy
But Tim was the one that played them.
Dale
Yeah. But at some point, I text you.
Amy
You text me when you're getting up to go to the bathroom. You're like, I'm going to the. To the bathroom. And I think we're gonna leave here because the music's getting really asked if you played this. No, I. You were walking and I text you. I. Because I thought you were. You didn't tell me you were leaving the bar.
Dale
Oh.
Amy
And I said, how's the music? And you're like, that's funny for you to ask. And I was like, that's it.
Dale
And then I said, did you play?
Amy
No. We left her because they started playing Celine Dion. And we were like, yes.
Ralph
I think we all looked at each other like, man, the vibes changed and we should get out of here.
Amy
Like, I knew that a Celine Dion song would really get underneath his.
Dale
On top of. On top of the fact that Celine Dion was coming down the pipe. A double whammy of Celine songs I got. I was. I guess, you know, I was a little. A good beer buzz going. And I played Eminence Front and it made me think of the song the Commissars in Town. Oh, that song. It's another 77 late. Or it's early 80s, probably it's 80s. And I quickly, like, typed that in. And the first one that popped up was Falco's version, which is, I think German. Falco. The band that sings Falco sings. Gosh darn it. Rock Me Amadeus.
Amy
Oh, yeah, yeah. That was one of your first records, right?
Dale
Awesome song. Yes, it was. Rock Me Amadeus was my first record along with the song Hold Me by. Yeah, like a 45. I got two signals. Singles. Signals, yeah, I got two singles and that was Rock Me Amadeus and Hold Me by Fleetwood Mac. And I had a little tiny Fisher Price record player. I played them on over and over. Same songs over and over. And I loved them and so got.
Amy
You think of that song.
Dale
Well, I know I was thinking about Eminence Front and thought, oh, I was. We're trying to stay in the same vein. Trying to say stay in the same style of music. So we didn't really kind of have the place people in there going, weird, weird song. Oh, another. This is such a vibe change. You were trying to stay in that little early 80s, late 70s rock and de Commissar. I don't even know if that's how you say it.
Amy
I don't think so.
Dale
But it's a song I know and like. But I chose the German version and we're walking out and they were like, man, yeah, let's leave Celine Dion. Yeah, we got to get out of here. And I said, yeah. I said, plus, there's a German version of this song that is going to play and we don't. I don't want to be in there when that plays. So when we left, we were like, we kind of did it. Shot ourselves in the foot. Or at least I shot us in the foot.
Amy
That's.
Dale
And I have no idea what the next 30 minutes was like in that bar and how they survived the rest of the day.
Amy
Well, that sucks, because that bar is really good.
Dale
Mary Ellen, we are sorry. We didn't have any intentions of coming here and screwing up things. They are such a great group and we love going there.
Amy
Yeah, we do.
Dale
But we had a fun time in. In the Keys. Checked out all the great places.
Amy
Dale told me. I asked him. Sorry for interrupting, but Dale, he's. You know how he drives around on the truck and he's like, well, this used to be farmland. The way he described the way he walked you all around and told you about everything. Yeah. Felt like he kind of did the same thing. Like, we used to sit here and do this. We used to do this over here. And then we would go here and.
Dale
We went into shots and giggles. And I'm like, great place. Thousands of beers on that couch right there, guys. And they're. They're like. They're not. They're like, yeah, okay. I'm like, so many memories. They're like, this is strange.
Amy
Did y'all get any of those boozy gummy bears? They have fireball soaked gummy bears?
Dale
Oh, hell no.
Ralph
No, but now we didn't.
Dale
No.
Amy
I should have gone with you. Y'all had a way better trip.
Ralph
No, it was fun. It was really fun. I had a blast.
Dale
It was good. Yeah, we watched a lot of basketball wrestling. I never watched. Yeah, we watched college wrestling before in my life and I ever thought to watch it. But apparently the day we watch it, one of the biggest upsets in.
Ralph
Yeah.
Dale
Yes. It was weird, kind of that that happened on the very day we sat down to watch. But we're in a sports bar with, like, basketball, men's basketball, wrestling, women's basketball, and we've got a little, you know, a dollar on this game and a dollar on that just for fun. And we had a great time. But, yeah, I was ready to leave when it was time to go, and now I'm ready to go back.
Amy
Oh, yeah.
Dale
Yes, I know. Yeah, we. We had our buffalo shrimp. Oh, my God. Remember I was talking about the buffalo shrimp? We had that twice.
Ralph
That was so good.
Dale
Is it so good?
Ralph
So good?
Dale
Yeah.
Ralph
I've been dreaming about it.
Amy
Yeah, it's really. It's weird because it's not, like, overly special in presentation or anything, but that taste is so craveable.
Dale
Yeah.
Amy
Yeah.
Ralph
I'LL remember that taste for the rest of my life. That buffalo shrimp.
Dale
Yeah. As soon as I'll go down there. And. I mean, it's a. It's. There's a. It's a. It's a tough balance between, like, two days is just. Right.
Amy
Yeah.
Dale
Two nights. Right. And. And we were there for three nights, and that's a little bit too long. And so. But, man, when you're so excited to go there, you're like, yes, let's go for three nights. But you get to that, you know, after the end of that second day, you're kind of like, yeah, this is about. This is just right. The third day was. The third day was tough on us.
Amy
You had gone first thing in the morning, and y'all had, like, two full days and two nights that probably would.
Dale
Have been pretty sure. Yeah. That's the way to do it. Fly down there in the morning early. Land before noon.
Amy
Yeah.
Dale
Have a full day. Another full day and go home.
Amy
Yeah.
Dale
And.
Amy
But after that, the wheels just fall off.
Dale
Yeah. You're kind of just kind of. It's like Groundhog Day. You're kind of just doing the same thing over and over and over. Great place, though. We had a lot of fun. I was glad to get back down there.
Amy
Awesome. You want to play a game?
Dale
Wait, what? So, what.
Amy
I missed High Rock. Yes. We had a big day with High Rock.
Dale
We actually. So I poured. I poured this beer before Amy got here, and I wanted to check in on my beer Buddy app, which I can't really figure out how to do it, but I'll do that later. But I had this beer, and then Amy walks in with the sipping cream. And this is the Orange. Orange Dream sipping cream. You can get it from Sugarlands, and, man, this is the best stuff ever. If you like Creamsicle.
Amy
Yeah, it's very Creamsicle. They do sell all of their creams and all their moonshines at the ABC stores here, too.
Dale
Cream in that?
Amy
No, I didn't put anything. If you let it just sit on the ice, I know you have a hard time with patience.
Dale
Yeah.
Amy
Dale just keeps this in the freezer and just takes a sip out of the. Out of the jar.
Dale
Yeah.
Amy
But if you want to ice it down, it's.
Dale
This is their number one, or this is, like, one of their best sellers out of all their moonshines. And because it tastes amazing. And this is the same group that we have the High Rock vodka with. And we went to Gatlinburg yesterday and done a full day of Content, capturing photos and all kinds of stuff for the upcoming year. Trying to promote the High Rock Vodka. And a lot of people will say, you know, we're working hard to get High Rock Vodka everywhere, but there are some stores out there, right. When people tell us that they can't find it. But you can get it at highrockvodka.com, you can order it straight to your door.
Amy
Also, we've learned, too, if you go into your local liquor store and request it, they will order it for you. So the liquor industry is very interesting.
Dale
It is. Every state's different.
Amy
Every state is different.
Dale
We had a lot of fun.
Amy
Yeah. But the creams are great, and you can get those everywhere. If they've been around, they've been around.
Dale
Gatlinburg's a great town. Sugarlands has a little distillery right on Main Street. One of the most popular places in Gatlinburg. They have an aquarium.
Amy
There's so much to do.
Dale
It's a great place for kids because there's a lot of things for the kids to do in town. So we enjoy going there. But, yeah, that's what we did yesterday. Whole full day of that. So just wanted to get that shot. People are going to sit there and go, what are y'all drinking? What are y'all drinking? What's that? What's in the glasses?
Amy
Orange milk. Yeah?
Dale
Yep.
Amy
It's moonshine, and it's delicious. All right, let's play game. What?
Dale
That's changed the game for me.
Amy
Oh, goodness.
Dale
Because you're right. I. So I take this, and it's. It's moonshine. Right. So for me, it hits pretty hard. You. You know the. The back end. Right. Of every sip. And so I put it in the freezer because I wanted it as cold as it could possibly be. Because then it's like. I like to drink it that way, but this far surpasses that.
Amy
Well, because it's not as thick, either.
Dale
Yeah.
Amy
Wow.
Dale
Damn, that's good. It's so good. I mean, I'm not saying that.
Amy
Just follow me, Rob. Follow me.
Dale
I know this is the same. I have to cuss.
Ralph
Cuss.
Dale
Cause I got this same all the time. Everywhere we go, I'm looking at a menu. We go sit down to eat anywhere. I'll look at the menu. Oh, man, I love this. I love this. This is what I'm ordering. Heck, yeah. Put the menu down. Food comes. I look across the table.
Amy
Damn.
Dale
What'd you get? I wanted that. I should have got that.
Amy
Yeah, that looks.
Dale
That looks freaking awesome.
Amy
This has trailed back all the way to our first date.
Dale
Everybody freaking time.
Amy
Yeah. And so, like, yeah, he gets order envy every time. And now he gets to where he will. We have conversation. He's like, what are you gonna get? I'm gonna get this. Oh, maybe we can just share a little of this and that.
Dale
Yeah. But I'll tell most times when we were going to a restaurant where you got to order a plate of food. You know, if we go to a sandwich shop, I'll get my sandwich split with her, and we both. I get both. Both. Best of both worlds. But if we're going to get a plate of food, I just ask her what she's ordering, and then I don't say another thing. Waiter comes, what do you all be having? She'll put her order in, and I'll go, I'll have that. Just give me that.
Amy
Just give me that too.
Dale
I'm gonna be happy because I'm not gonna try to do it myself, because everything that I try to order, it's never as good or. Cause there's on the menu, not. You know, I just. 60% of the stuff on menu, I'm like, I don't know what that is. I don't know what that looks. I don't. I wouldn't even be able to guess what that looks like. I mean, yes, fish, chicken, steak, but all the other parts of it, right? The. The. The seasoning, whatever sauce might be on it, whatever sides, and the, you know, couscous and all this, you know, rice. And I'm like, I don't know if I want that. You know, I see. I see the word chicken, but I don't know about the rest of it.
Amy
And I'm not sure if it's so stressful for Dale.
Dale
And she'll order it. She'll go, oh, I'll have the couscous, Chicken, grilled. And I'm like, I don't sound good at all. And it gets here. And I'm like, damn, how did you know? And I just get the. You know, I just get.
Amy
You know, I try to make sure that I order what's appropriate for that restaurant. You know what I mean?
Dale
Damn it.
Ralph
The menu should have more pictures.
Amy
I will say, you should have more pictures.
Ralph
Way more pictures than what they got.
Amy
If they didn't have pictures at the Mexican food restaurants half the time. You really wouldn't know what you're getting.
Ralph
Yeah, exactly.
Amy
Like, just surprise me. I like chicken. I like chicken and cheese. Bring me something.
Dale
Pictures don't.
Amy
Pictures, they don't generally do it justice or look just like it. But, you know, there are certain places where it does make sense.
Ralph
Yeah. At least for drinks, too.
Dale
Yeah. Pictures are. Pictures are weird. Pictures make me feel weird on a menu.
Amy
Why?
Dale
I don't know.
Amy
What doesn't make you feel weird at a restaurant?
Dale
I mean, you know, I'm. You're riddled with anxiety.
Amy
Your experiences in life are just so vastly different than mine.
Dale
I know. I see menus with pictures and I'm like, are we at the right place?
Amy
At the right place? What does that mean?
Dale
I don't know. I just think this isn't going to be good food. They have to put pictures. I don't know.
Amy
But if they don't, I don't know what I'm about to eat. Oh, bless it.

Dale
I'm. I've not looked. So y'all. So Tim's and Amy, they'll. They'll pass around these game ideas, and so I have no idea what this game is. Apparently it's gonna. You. You look. You looked at the example that we were sent by Tim's.
Amy
I did briefly yesterday, but I didn't get to watch the whole thing, so it's gonna be just as off the cuff for me, I think. Yeah, it's pretty fun. It's called yell it out. So Tim's is gonna say a category and a part of the word it may or may not contain, like, a certain letter or a vowel. And then you and I will yell out our answers, and the first person that wins gets a point. Do you want me to give him an example so he knows how to.
Dale
Yes, please, because I forgot the rule.
Amy
So one of the examples is you can. Tims, you do this. You tell him.
Ralph
So it would be a crime that starts with the letter D or ends with the letter D. I'm sorry.
Dale
Oh, a crime that ends with the letter D. Yes.
Ralph
And you have to come up with any crime that ends with the letter D. Oh.
Dale
Oh, that's tough.
Amy
Yeah. What is a crime that ends with a letter D?
Dale
Robbed.
Amy
Robbed.
Ralph
Yeah. Murdered.
Amy
Murdered. Oh.
Dale
Yeah.
Ralph
It's for, like, quick, you know?
Dale
Yeah.
Amy
You're supposed to do it really fast.
Dale
And. And there is an answer that's correct.
Ralph
Yeah. Murder. Like, murder. It's fine.
Dale
Oh. But there could be multiple answers.
Ralph
Multiple answers.
Amy
We're competing against each other every one of these.
Dale
Are we getting points?
Ralph
Yes, points. We're keeping score.
Dale
Okay. Amy's gonna keep me good at this.
Amy
I don't know.
Dale
I'm feeling like I'm in I got some tough competition here. I'm in a tough match. All right?
Ralph
We're playing for real now.
Dale
Okay?
Amy
Okay.
Ralph
First one. Something found at a racetrack that starts.
Dale
With the letter S. Steering wheel.
Ralph
There you go.
Dale
Seat. There you go.
Ralph
Steering wheel.
Amy
Why are we race. Doing race questions.
Ralph
That's the only one, I promise. Something in this room containing only one vowel.
Amy
Mike.
Dale
There you go. No. Yeah.
Ralph
Yeah.
Dale
Mike didn't know if it was Mike Davis.
Amy
He's not here in person, but he's always with us.

An X. Freak ends with X. Fast food that ends with X.
Ralph
This is probably the toughest one.
Amy
Jack in the box.
Ralph
Yes.
Dale
Damn it. That's not fair because. Damn it. Probably more of those in Texas.
Amy
They do serve tacos at the ones in Texas.
Ralph
Something found on a desk contains a Y.
Dale
On a desk that contains a Y.
Ralph
Yes, that contains a Y.
Amy
That contains. I was thinking ending in. Yeah, me too.
Ralph
Sorry.
Amy
Recycling. On the desk.
Dale
What? No.
Ralph
No, I won't count that.
Dale
No.
Amy
Well, give us a word, Ralph.
Dale
Could be a computer, desk, copy paper, copier.
Amy
Nope, that doesn't have a. Yeah, I.
Ralph
Have a Y. I don't know. Copy paper is a little. Little fringe.
Dale
Little fringe.
Ralph
I don't know if I want to give it that point.
Amy
I don't know.
Ralph
Do you need another hint?
Dale
All the ones that I keep thinking of in the.
Amy
Sit at a desk for work.
Ralph
I know.
Dale
Or ee.
Ralph
Like, see, where I was when I came up with Sharpie game. It's on a computer. It's part of the computer setup.

Dale
Everything does, don't it?
Ralph
There's a couple.
Dale
Oh, Miami Heat.
Ralph
Yep.
Amy
I'm officially a loser, aren't I?
Ralph
Yep. That's it. Dale wins.
Amy
Yeah.
Dale
Lost the lead early, but we got it back.
Amy
His chair is squeaking so much.
Ralph
All right, we gotta keep.
Dale
Start keeping track while you're hard.
Amy
Good job.
Dale
You're so smart, honey.
Amy
Hey, guys, we are here for another episode of Ask Amy on Bless yous Heart. I'm here in the Dirty Room media studio with my husband Dale. How's it going, Ralph?
Dale
I am. I'm awesome today.
Amy
I'm awesome. Yeah, he's had a little orange cream, so he's feeling very happy right now. Before we get started with Ask Amy, I just wanted to remind everybody about our new merch line. I'm wearing one of our shirts now. We've got a lot of fun stuff. Is that a new one? Is that a hoodie? It's Shop. Excuse me.
Dale
Love this website.
Amy
Shop.dirtymomedia.com isn't that easy to say. Bless yous Heart has its own page. But all of our podcasts now have a lot of new fun merch, so check that out. And also, please subscribe if you haven't already. And I think we're ready for a few questions for you guys.
Ralph
Yeah. Our first one is from Frank. First off, happy birthday, Amy.
Amy
Oh, thank you, Frank.
Ralph
And his question is, how did you spend your birthday? Birthday? Did you have any nice plans?
Amy
Well, my birthday was on Tuesday. It was kind of a weird, rough week. My birthday was great. My birthday was great. I turned 43. It's another great year. But Junebug isn't doing very well, so I spent most of my time Monday and Tuesday trying to figure out what was going on with him. And he's with our vet right now, and so he's getting some tlc. But Dale had actually set up a little scavenger hunt for me when we woke up on Tuesday. And the girls had, like, hidden things around the house, little gifts and cards and things that they had made. And we had cake and they sang to me and all of those things. And then what did we do? It was Tuesday. I forget. Oh, we flew to Gatlinburg.
Dale
Yeah, we did. We went to Gatlinburg. And when we got to Gatlinburg, we went to this really nice restaurant called the Greenbrier that's in Gatlinburg. Awesome place. They took great care of us and we had a really, really nice dinner. And Amy out ordered me again, as she does. We talk about that earlier in the show, but yeah, it was kind of touch and go there for a while because Amy was doing the cleanse. Remember, we Were talking about the cleanse.
Amy
Yes.
Dale
Last week, she's doing the cleanse. So she's like, hey, I don't want.
Amy
To do anything for my birthday.
Dale
I don't want to do nothing.
Amy
Don't schedule anything, because I'm going to do this cleanse. This is, like, the only window of time I have. And so I did all the prep for the cleanse, and then as soon as Dale leaves to go on his trip with you guys, it's dinner time, and I'm pulling out snacks for the kids. They had eaten a bunch of stuff all day long, so Isla just wanted some chips and salsa. And of course, the first thing I did when I opened the bag of chips to pour them in the bag was eat one.
Dale
And I'm like, cleanse over.
Amy
So good. Three days of eating nothing but fruit, and I'm like, screw this. I can't do this by myself. So.
Dale
So the cleanse come to an end.
Amy
It came to an end. I'm gonna do it. I gave Dale's cleanse kit to a friend, and so we're gonna schedule a time to do it to, like, have.
Dale
A buddy system, but someone else is gonna.
Amy
Yeah. My birthday ended up being a great, normal day.
Dale
If you hadn't heard about things. If you hadn't heard about this cleanse, you need to go back and watch last week's show. I don't know how they do it.
Amy
But I have had a lot of feedback of other people that have done the exact same cleanse and people that I know that I didn't know had done it. They were like, it's epic. But you do need the solid 10 to 12 days to, like, dedicate to it, so. Birthday was great, Frank. Thanks for asking.
Ralph
That's good. Bill has a similar birthday question. He likes to. He wants to know, are you a cake person? Brownie cupcake. Like, what's your favorite birthday dessert? I guess.
Amy
Oh, well, my favorite cake is carrot cake. Oh, okay. Dale insists on getting me red velvet every year. He refuses to get me cake I like.
Dale
It's not a fruit or not even a cake material.
Amy
It's also not your birthday.
Dale
I know, but damn. I just can't make myself. I can't force myself to buy a carrot.
Amy
When you're buying cake for your wife, buy what she wants.
Dale
Get a tomato cake.
Amy
You could do better with celery.
Dale
Get a celery cake. How about some green? How about some. Some corn cake? I don't know what the hell. It's carrots.
Amy
It's like a Spice cake. Right.
Dale
It must have been tough times when they. When they were like, yep, carrots is all we got. I want a cake. And that's what the hell we're doing. We're making a carrot cake. Must have been tough times.
Amy
You're getting carrot cake for your birthday.
Dale
Hard times, as Dusty Robe would say. You don't know hard times.
Amy
They're still making it in mass production because it's delicious.
Ralph
I don't think I've ever had a carrot cake.
Amy
It's so good. It's got, like, spicy nutmeg and cinnamon and stuff like that in it. You don't even taste the carrots.
Ralph
Okay, all right.
Dale
I need to get my little dusty Rhodes figurine over here. You don't know hard times. We used to do carrot cake.
Amy
Bill, are you from West Virginia, by chance?
Ralph
Just about to say you are. Please comment in the chat.
Dale
Yeah, listen to the show to get that joke. I love those.
Amy
So I do like carrot cake. Favorite dessert? I don't know. Chocolate chip cookies. I'm pretty simple. I don't eat a lot of sweets, to be honest.
Ralph
Yeah, no. Chocolate chip cookies is more of the hard outside and the soft inside.
Amy
Yes, that's the perfect chocolate chip cookies.
Dale
Me and Amy came up. Well, I'm sure this is already happening somewhere, but me and Amy came. We had a really cool thought for a dessert. The other night, we were at dinner, and they brought out this cheesecake that had been sort of half dipped or covered in chocolate that hardened. So it was, like, hardened put in the freezer.
Amy
Yeah.
Dale
And so, yeah, it was like a dip cone. And so, like, taking. And it had little coconut on it all through it, which some people are good with that. But I'm not a coconut. I don't like the pulp or in my orange juice. I don't like the coconut in my cake.
Amy
Right.
Dale
And so I was like, man, regular cheesecake dipped in chocolate and frozen. They do that in Key West.
Amy
Yeah, they do that with the key lime.
Dale
Lime. And I'm like, somebody around the world's doing this little, you know, just a little slice, right? Little. Little. Perfect.
Amy
I'm like, so basically, you want bon bons at dessert? Because that's all that really is.
Dale
And it reminded me of the awesome cupcake sushi we used to get.
Amy
Did y'all get that when y'all were down there?
Dale
And when people.
Amy
Oh, my gosh.
Dale
People. Initially, I know I didn't think about doing. When people hear that for the first time, they go, cupcake sushi. What in the hell? Like, cupcake with people, they think it's like, sushi blended, like sushi and cupcake mashup. No, that's not what this is. It is. Go ahead.
Amy
It's like a cake pop. It's cake and chocolate, and it's rolled to look like a piece of sushi. But it's dessert, and it's got, like, sprinkles and different, like, chocolate beads and things on the top to look like the caviar. It is all dessert, and it's absolutely delicious. And our friend Lori down in Key west patented it, and she started selling it out of the fish market a while ago. So we found it there, but we.
Dale
Used to eat it.
Amy
She does ship now she sends it everywhere.
Dale
Dozens. We see it at least a dozen times a year.
Amy
Yeah, that's probably one of the best things we've ever found.
Dale
We. We had it. We had her come to the house once. What. What event was that? Or something to do?
Amy
It was for our engagement.
Dale
It was our engagement party. She come and set up, and everybody got.
Amy
Yeah, she made it in front of you as you were ordering it, just like the sushi guy would do, you.
Dale
Know, and it's cold. You keep it in the refrigerator or the freezer, and it comes in a little sushi tray, just like your. Your, you know, order of, you know, your rolls, tuna roll or whatever, and you can keep it in the freezer, and you just walk by there and grab one.
Amy
And everything Dale does is, like, walk by the freezer. I'm gonna walk by and get a swig. Things so good, though.
Ralph
Yeah, that's good. Our next question is from Guillermo, and he would like to know what. What's a well liked food that you can't stand? Like, for example, I hate queso, and people love queso.
Dale
Why?
Amy
What?
Ralph
It's too cheesy?
Amy
It's just too cheesy. If I want texture.
Ralph
It's just. If I want cheese, I'll just put it on the chip. Like, nacho style.
Dale
Yeah.
Ralph
I don't need to dip it in the cheese.
Amy
Oh, I could put queso literally on anything.
Dale
I will say oysters. Like, I like queso.
Amy
Oyster fan at all.
Dale
I do like queso, but I don't like the melting pot.
Ralph
Like, the fondue.
Amy
That's different types of cheese.
Dale
I know. I'm just saying, like, I do like queso, but I don't like. I don't want to go to that restaurant and sit around with a bunch of people and just dip.
Ralph
Dip in. Yeah, but a chocolate Fondue. Now that is different.
Amy
That is different.
Ralph
That's pretty good.
Amy
So the fondue at a. At a place like that is not the same cheese. It's not. It's not.
Dale
I don't want to do that. If you ever think about, hey, does Dale want to go do this? I want to know.
Amy
Those aren't two things I'd stick together. So they're in good shape.
Dale
You answered the question.
Amy
Yeah. Oysters. I don't like raw oysters because of the texture of it. It's more of a mindset. I've tried them. They've come. They've gone down and come back up. We did have fried oysters the other night at dinner that were incredible. So I've eaten oysters. But raw oysters, I guess, would be my.
Dale
Mine is probably.
Amy
Or mushrooms. I hate all mushrooms.
Dale
Mushrooms. Mine's probably carrot cake.
Ralph
Carrot cake.
Amy
His is Joy.
Dale
Very popular cake.
Amy
He's Joy. He hates Joy for me.
Dale
Very popular cake.
Ralph
All right, well, Bonnie, our next question. She would like to know if you could watch a TV show or a movie again for the first time, what would it be? That's a good question.
Amy
For the first time.
Ralph
Yeah. I think at the office, you know, watching that for the first time was so funny.
Amy
Yeah, the office is really good.
Ralph
Something like that, man.
Dale
There's several that pop into my mind. I mean, E.T. wyatt or E.T. and Tombstone. Forrest Gump.
Amy
A league of their own.
Dale
A league of their own. Yeah. Every good movie.
Amy
Yeah. More so movies than series. You can still watch series.
Dale
Everything you ever like.
Amy
Forget some of the episodes and it's fresh and a lot of them are in syndication. The ones that we all really like.
Ralph
Is A league of the. A league of your own. The movie you still sit down and watch full like.
Amy
Yes. And still get teary eyed at the end because the two sisters come back together. I love it.
Dale
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Ralph
That's a good one. This one is from. Oh, Oofy is the Twitter handle. If you could have one.
Dale
It is a nickname.
Ralph
If you could have one fictional character as a friend, who would it be?
Amy
Fictional character.
Ralph
Fictional character. Maybe Goofy would be one as a friend.
Amy
Oh, my God.
Dale
Ricky Bobby.
Ralph
Ricky Bobby. That's a really good answer.
Amy
So that's not a cartoon character.
Ralph
It doesn't have to be a cartoon. No, just, you know, made up.
Amy
Dang. That's really hard.
Ralph
It's a tough one to kick on spot. I go back to Michael Scott.
Dale
Yeah, Michael Scott, maybe. I guess the Bandit. Phoebe Smoking the Bandit.
Ralph
Great answer.
Dale
Burt Reynolds.
Ralph
Reynolds, yeah.
Amy
That's so hard.
Ralph
That's a thinker.
Dale
Not really.
Amy
I don't fantasize about stuff.
Dale
That's like an easy. It's like an easy question for guys, hard for women. Yeah, you think all of, like, your heroes and you're like your movie hero.
Amy
I don't know.
Ralph
All right, well, Jen would like to know. She says, hey, Amy, love your style. Do you have a favorite place you shop?
Amy
Not really. I kind of shop all over the place. I shop. We can shop dirtymomedia.com for your new pleasure hard gear. There are. I like to boutique shop. So, like, support local businesses, and I have a few around here that I like. I don't know. I kind of shop all over.
Dale
Great place.
Amy
Like, I'm always looking, window shopping.
Dale
I've got a personal favorite, Amazon. If I can't find my brand there, I just, you know, can't trust it.
Amy
That chair is doing something to his personality, I think. Or maybe it's the orange cream.
Dale
It's Orange Creamsicle.
Ralph
I think that's it.
Dale
I shop on Zappos sometimes. I used to shop a lot on Zappos. Then they stopped carrying my favorite tennis shoe, and we just haven't been the same since.
Amy
Are you okay? Are you gonna make it?
Dale
I. Do you know what I like to do? I did this yesterday. We were at the Jesus. Now this is how we're talking about shopping.
Amy
Yeah, girl shops. Girl shopping. I know when you shop for me. Where do you go? Well, besides Amazon.
Dale
Capital.
Amy
Capital this.
Dale
There's a friend at Capital that will text me, knowing what moments are coming up in the calendar year, and she'll go, hey, got this thing. Take a look.
Amy
Yeah. When Dale says he doesn't know what to get, I'm like, just use your resources.
Dale
Yeah, I will just text. I'll just text her friends. Yeah, that's what you. Have you guys heard anything Amy say? Anything? And they're. They're so resourceful because they do. They'll be like, oh, yeah, here, I got this purse. She's talking about this purse last week. I'm like, damn. Like, I didn't expect you to have an answer. And there you go.
Amy
Yeah, easy peasy.
Dale
Yeah.
Amy
I'm not gonna sit and talk handbags with you.
Dale
I know, but they just remember it. And then they'll say, oh, yeah, let me send you a link to this thing. I'm like, wow. Yeah, that was really easy.
Amy
Yeah. What was our asker's name? Damn.
Dale
These don't.
Ralph
Was Jen.
Amy
Jen. I'm gonna put a List of tags in story. So you can just go and check out the ones that I actually look at.
Dale
I'm here. I feel like that would be shout out to all the. All the guys out there wearing straight leg, relaxed fit. This damn slim.
Amy
I am not bringing the cream back.
Dale
Yes. I have to shout out to all the pant makers out there making the relaxed and straight legs. Can't wait till the boot cut is back in style so I can bring them back out.
Amy
They are for women. The men are wearing the skinny pants.
Dale
Yep. Set has never something like, I could never wear a pair of pants that held on to me because they do they. I see people all the time walking around, even here, that the pants are holding on to you all the way to the ankle like this. I can't.
Ralph
Not a joggers guy.
Dale
My pant has to go over the tongue of my shoe and stay there all day.
Amy
Question.
Ralph
We have one more question.
Amy
Okay.
Dale
Have I made that clear? Okay, we move on. All right.
Ralph
Josh is going to close us out and he wants to know who has the higher screen time.
Amy
Oh, I actually debated this because he's. I feel like he's always on his phone scrolling and looking at things.
Dale
This is.
Amy
But I am on my phone.
Dale
Keep my mouth shut.
Amy
I am on my phone quite a bit, but I'm ordering dog food or scheduling something for the kids. I'm not actually just fluffing and like entertaining myself. So our screen time is pretty similar. But he has an iPad, an iPhone, a computer, an iracing rig. Like, he's.
Ralph
He's always on a screen.
Amy
Always looking on a screen.
Ralph
Okay.
Amy
Whereas I'm just. I've got my phone and for the most part it's doing something productive. It's about 50. 50, like joy and just working on something.
Ralph
Yeah.
Dale
She's 100% correct. Yes.
Ralph
What would your times be like? Average. You think?
Amy
Oh, God. And too high. Let's look.
Ralph
Mine's really bad.
Amy
Thanks to Dale's birthday thing, my phone died twice on Tuesday.
Dale
Oh, yes. Thank y'all. A shout out to everybody who saw my story. I actually tagged it online to tag Amy. We killed her phone around 5:00 in the afternoon. She sit there and rode on about 5 to 10% trying to recharge that thing the rest of the day. Just chugging along to the finish line. Good job.
Amy
Daily average is 4 hours and 25 minutes.
Ralph
That's really good.
Dale
Where are we finding this?
Amy
Straight in your settings. I'm looking at myself, but that's 53% down from last week. So last week I must have been around six or seven hours.
Ralph
Yeah. On Monday, mine was 13 hours, so that's a long time.
Amy
But you're working on your phone, too.
Ralph
I'm always on my phone working.
Dale
You will need to use this device more for your screen time to be recorded.
Amy
Handed over.
Ralph
Is that just today's?
Amy
No, that's just the. That's the orange cream. Talking screen time, seven hours, 11 minutes. That's his average. And that's down 23 from last week, too. Mine was 4:11.
Dale
Damn. Wait, you're more.
Amy
Four hours. Yours is seven.
Ralph
Damn.
Dale
There's no way that's.
Amy
He refuses to believe he's on his own as much as he is. He refuses it.
Dale
I look at Amy, and she's on her phone.
Amy
We're at the shoe house. Every time we get ready to. We do, like, these little clips. As soon as we're done with each one, he turns and grabs his phone to the point where everybody's like, dale. Really? Wait for Dale to put his phone down so he can get started.
Dale
Let's dive in a little deeper and go to app and website activity. My. My top one is messages one hour a day. Probably a solid one hour.
Amy
How do you know?
Dale
It says in very hard to see. Faint.
Amy
Yeah.
Dale
Nope. Down. Right there. There. Go back up.
Amy
God dang, Dale.
Dale
Right there, honey. Messages. Instagram.
Amy
Yeah, but it doesn't say. It doesn't have.
Dale
The bar has a little number next to it.
Amy
Yeah, but it says six hours, and my average is four.
Dale
That's how much you're using that app per day.
Amy
That's impossible for the week.
Ralph
Yeah. Might be a week.
Dale
Oh, really?
Ralph
Yeah.
Amy
Most used daily average is 1 hour, 12 minutes.
Dale
That's what mine says right now. Oh, you're on weekly at the top.
Amy
Yeah.
Dale
So I'm on daily. Yeah. Go there now. Go to the apps.
Amy
45 minutes on Instagram messages is 24 minutes.
Dale
My Instagram ain't even in my top. I'm.
Amy
Well, I'm sure the X is at the top of yours.
Dale
Messages. Calculate messages. Calculator. Notes. Calculator photos. Safari beer buddy calculator.
Amy
What are you calculating?
Ralph
Why is that top?
Amy
Is it in order from Most to least 27 minutes?
Dale
For the calculator.
Amy
I'm dying to know.
Ralph
Long time on the calculator.
Dale
Ebay.
Amy
What are you calculating?
Dale
Five minutes. On eBay, everything's five minutes.
Amy
I feel you're not answering the question. What are you using the calculator for?
Dale
I don't know.
Amy
I don't I want to see your phone. He ain't lying.
Ralph
Yeah, that's crazy.
Amy
It is crazy.
Ralph
Calculator should never be in your mouth calculating. It should never be.
Amy
I've never seen you use the calculator. Where is X?
Dale
I don't use X.
Amy
Where's the.
Dale
I mean, not that much.
Amy
What the hell?
Dale
I don't look at it.
Amy
What about the one that you use on your gaming thing? The gaming chit chat.
Dale
Oh, numbers.
Amy
No, not numbers. The other one.
Dale
Oh, Discord.
Amy
Discord. Where's that?
Dale
I don't know. I'm not on there that much. I just check it briefly.
Ralph
He's definitely got day toggled.
Amy
Okay, so if you go to week instead of just this last day, X is at the top with seven hours.
Ralph
That's a good way to end. Ask Amy.
Dale
That was a very detailed, personal look at our lives.
Ralph
Thank you, Josh.
Amy
Now we know who the real weirdo is, and we all thought it was me.
Dale
What was weird about mine? Did I use the calculator a little.
Amy
Bit yesterday for 27 minutes. That's kind of weird.
Dale
It just could have been open. Like, you could have just laying there.
Amy
And that's calculating the time, but it's just. It's just sitting there, not being pushed.
Dale
We were working all day yesterday. I could have had it open and just laid it down.
Amy
What would you be calculating at a photo shoot?
Dale
I don't know. I don't. I don't know, honey. Trying to think.
