Transcript

[Amy Earnhardt]

Guys, we're back in the studio this week for another episode of Bless yous Heart. I'm with my husband Dale, and we have Travis with us today. Alex is on vacation. He's in Mexico.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

I'm doing good. I wish I was Tim's.

[Amy Earnhardt]

You wish you were Tim's?

[Travis]

Yeah.

[Amy Earnhardt]

He doesn't want to be here. He wants to be in Mexico with Tim's. I don't blame you, Dale.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Where would you rather be?

[Amy Earnhardt]

Cancun Sounds great.

[Travis]

I'm right where I'm supposed to be.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Hey, Dale.

[Travis]

Yo.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

What are we doing for lunch today? I'm getting kind of hungry.

[Travis]

Well, I'm already on it. It's actually going to be delivered soon. Arby's Angus cheesesteak with a side of curly fries is on the way. It's the ultimate meat and cheese combination for steak lovers like you and me. It's actually the perfect balance of quarter pound of Angus steak, melted American cheese, fire roasted peppers and onions with a nice garlic spread to tie it all together. It's a must try. That's going to be our lunch sandwich.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Sounds delicious. But there's one thing I've learned is if you're talking about food, I got to trust you on this. You've never failed me yet.

[Travis]

I have not? No.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

You've nailed it.

[Travis]

Well, there you go, man. This sandwich has it all. When I first tried this, I was at the shop checking on the race cars and stuff, seeing if the guys need anything. We ordered up some Arby's, and when this Angus cheesesteak arrived, I was blown away by how much steak is actually on this thing. Definitely big enough to satisfy your hunger. Definitely tastes like a true American classic. Everybody check out your nearest Arby's today to try this Angus cheesesteak. And if you want it delivered like we do, use code dale for $0 delivery when you order through the Arby's app. That's code D A L E on the app, available for a limited time at participating U.S. locations. While supplies last in the summer, all.

[Unknown]

Of Oregon is our playground thanks to our incredible park system. That's why it's so cool that Oregon lottery gameplay, like video lottery or cash pop, helps support tons of park parks projects statewide like accessible trails at Silver Falls State park or upgrades to your favorite dog park in Newburgh. It's just one way a little lottery play for many Oregonians can add up to a lot of good the Oregon Lottery. Together, we do good things. Lottery games are based on chance and should be played for entertainment only. Must be 18 or older to play.

[Travis]

The following is a production of Dirty Mo Media.

[Amy Earnhardt]

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

[Travis]

I'm working.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Working that mouth. All right, let's get to our drink of the week. We have a cucumber mojito today, sponsored by hi Rock. So it's muddled cucumber and mint leaves, one and a half ounce. One and a half ounces of Hyrock ice and lemonade and sparkling water. So take a sip, Ralph. Should be really refreshing. Oh, that's yum.

[Travis]

Yeah, it's really good. Yeah.

[Amy Earnhardt]

I was a little nervous about you with the mint, but I don't mind. I don't taste too much, so. Yeah, it's more cucumber. Delish.

[Travis]

It's very. It's like. Tastes like it. Like the healthiest drink you could ever drink that has alcohol in it.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Yeah, it does.

[Travis]

I do taste the cucumber, which is interesting, but. And the men don't bother me. I've been getting into the mint here lately. Especially the mint chocolate chip ice cream.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Yeah, that's about it. We aren't eating real mint, please. Any herbs are not touching his food. He just hits the ice cream.

[Travis]

Yeah.

[Amy Earnhardt]

So we were at the beach. We go to ice cream shops in the evening and we have TJ and his family with us and they like to go to a specific ice cream store because they have, like, gluten free, allergy free, very specific ice creams. And so we go in there and they don't have mint chocolate chips. So Dale and Nicole literally leave us and go to the other ice cream shop just to get mint chocolate chips.

[Travis]

That was Nicole's preference.

[Amy Earnhardt]

I don't know. It feels like a group choice.

[Travis]

I will go to the ends of the earth. I will go to the ends of the block.

[Amy Earnhardt]

The ends of the block.

[Travis]

For the. For the girls.

[Amy Earnhardt]

For the flavor of ice cream.

[Travis]

Yeah, I will go to the ends of the block. I got some really bad news.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Of what?

[Travis]

Yeah, sad, sad, sad news about what? We are currently out of stock in the gift shop. No beef jerky.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Yeah, they're sold out on Amazon as well.

[Travis]

Jerky, boys, beef jerky has exploded. And if you follow my social media, I'm reposting that. All these comments, the people that have been able to acquire a bag or two talking about how it is truly the world's greatest beef jerky, they're like, all right, yeah, I've heard it. Yeah, they're pumping this up. Let me try it. And they'll say, damn it, they're right. And now it's out of stock. But there's light at the end of the tunnel, Travis, because I have helped the team at Jerky Boys purchase a dehydrator.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Oh, another new.

[Travis]

A new one.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

So you can double your output.

[Travis]

We have four sort of mid sized dehydrators that have been part of the production line since our inception. And I just bought a brand new dehydrator that is the size of all four of those combined. So we will double our production. We are what they call scaling up. That's what they call it. And so in the jerky world, that's what they call it scaling up. So, man, hang on to your hats, because production's about to go into warp speed and we'll be able to get back up on plane with the demand. Understand, we have had what they call in the jerky world a supply demand problem.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Oh, is it just for jerky, that phrase?

[Travis]

I'm sorry. All right, we can move on.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Did you rehearse this in your mind in the truck? What'd you listen to on the way over here? I got you.

[Travis]

So I listened to some pop punk. Very loud.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Very loud.

[Travis]

I love it.

[Amy Earnhardt]

He asked me if we wanted to ride together. I was like, no thanks. It's probably good. I need a little piece.

[Travis]

You know what? People take people drink energy drinks to sort of get up and get going. I need to turn on some loud alternative pop punk music that's like. That's like taking speed for me.

[Amy Earnhardt]

It takes the punk to the top.

[Travis]

And I'm only using that scaling take the punk. I'm only using that as an example because I saw a really cool comment on Reddit about Carson Hosavar's interview for the Dale Jr. Download. This guy said he has. This guy was complimenting Carson about he has the speed and he's not afraid to use it. And this other guy said that's something that could be said on the racetrack and in some infields. I thought that was really funny.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

That is.

[Travis]

So anyhow, we have a couple things to talk about about our, you know, just life in general. We kind of go through a what's up segment where we just do some life updates and then we'll do. We got a game. It's called Poet Poetry for Neanderthals. This should be funny. And then we're going to do Ask Amy and then our closing thoughts. But so life updates. You have One about Isla and I had a little tiny girl crush.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Yeah. So we're at the beach for the fourth, and it's the actual fourth of July. We've done the golf cart parade, which was epic. And we're at our neighbor's house for a pool party, and there's a bunch of kids, a bunch of families. All the dads are in the pool with the kids, and all the moms are just hanging out, like serving drinks and snacks and whatever and hang out. There is this one little boy that Isla has played with over there before, and he's about the same age. And they were smitten with each other the first time they met. And this. This time they were like, extra stuck to each other. And not in like a super obvious way, but they were, like, following each other around equally. Not like he's chasing her. She was wanting to be close to him too, just playing in the pool. I mean, they're seven. They're innocent little kids. And then at one point, I see that they are jumping off the pool edge together over and over and over again, like a little team. And then they get out and he goes, hey, let's hold hands and jump. And she looks at him, she goes, no, thanks. And then they jump together. Anyway, didn't bother him a bit, but I was like, that a girl. Make him keep making him want more. Don't give it to him. And she said, no, thanks. She wasn't embarrassed about it at all until I asked her about it later, and then I made her cry because she was mortified. Dale FaceTimed us from the racetrack, and he's like, what's going on? I was like, well, guess what happened with Isla this afternoon. She got herself a little boyfriend and she lost it. I mean, full fledged meltdown. Tears. No, I don't. I'm like, it's okay. I love girls like boys. That happens. And she's like, it's not okay. She hid under the blanket for like a solid 10 minutes left on the couch, but it was precious. And the golf cart parade's always fun. We went and did that first thing in the morning, and Dale and TJ got to sit with us to do that. We basically tailgate in one of our neighbor's uncle's front yard on Sullivan's Island. And so golf carts, golf carts just hanging out. We have a bar set up on the back of ours. It always is a little tough because it's usually mega hot. There's mosquitoes all in the yard. You're just trying to wrangle the kids to not get in the road before everything starts. But there's some really good floats this year. There was one float that was. So all the golf carts are, like, fully decorated and Americana, whatever. Or people will make a theme.

[Travis]

Yeah. Movie themes. All kinds of things.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Yes. And so there's been a lot of, like, under the sea, Jaws. You just beachy stuff. Um, we had a Waffle House car this year. There was a Baywatch car.

[Travis]

And there's a lot. There's. Shoot, 40 or 50 carts at least. At the least.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Yeah.

[Travis]

They're lead. It's. It's on the back street, so it's not on, like, main street. So in your mind, if you're trying to imagine, it's kind of like a couple streets over on the. Like, the quiet back street covered by trees, residential houses all up, down both sides, and everybody kind of backs into each other's yards, and it's all golf carts backing into these spots, all the families, and everybody gets together. And then here comes the parade, and it's led by the sheriff or the fire truck, and. And they come through and they throw candy, and the kids bring buckets and. And fill the candy, fill the buckets up. And we just sit there and drink, you know, and. But then on this particular day, the fourth was the day that we're supposed to leave to go to the race in Chicago. And so me and TJ Were just kind of like, oh, man, we gotta get on a plane and go to Chicago. Right? And like, yes, we're excited about the race weekend, but damn it, you know, it sucks to have to leave this.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Do you get the last day blues when you're on vacation?

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Oh, all the time.

[Travis]

The last day blues are the.

[Amy Earnhardt]

I don't really get that. Dale will literally. It's gotten way better than it used to, but he would absolutely, like, 24 hours in advance, start getting frustrated and annoyed. Especially in Key West. He'd start locking up the house. And I was like, hi, we're still here. Yeah, we don't wait till tomorrow. Why are you.

[Travis]

I'm running around the house already, like, locking doors and deadbolts and that's excessive.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Draining the ice machine. And, like, we're not. We're not leaving now. We're leaving tomorrow.

[Travis]

Fridge of perishables.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Yeah. Just throwing stuff away.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Do you ease it down on the last day, or do you like this last day? Got to go hard.

[Travis]

So first day hard.

[Amy Earnhardt]

I would rather go harder on the last day.

[Travis]

I would, too, but I couldn't ever get My mind there.

[Amy Earnhardt]

So he had to go to work, so he couldn't really do that.

[Travis]

I was getting mad.

[Amy Earnhardt]

So he went hard the night before and woke up and was not feeling well. That's why this golf cart parade was a little hard for Dale. It was a lot of overstimulation Thursday.

[Travis]

I was, I thought that I had mentioned earlier in the week, man, you know, me and TJ had talked about going down to the pub, just sitting and having some beers. Just. TJ's a lot of fun. He's not a heavy drinker, which is great. I don't, I don't. You know, at times I kind of don't mind hanging out with him because he is. He's kind of moderate and so he's.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Not like a liability friend you have to worry about. You know what I mean? He's. He's gonna hang out and have a good time, go home when he's supposed.

[Travis]

To, but he will go sit at the pub and have a couple beers and we'll have all the conversations.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Yeah.

[Travis]

And we have a lot of similar things that we, we like, you know, in terms of video games and things to talk about. And so we had discussed going to the pub and he was all about it. We didn't go. I was like, man, you know, maybe Thursday night is night. We'll go and said that like on a Tuesday or Monday. We were there from Sunday on.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Yeah.

[Travis]

And so we were there for a while and he, he, he kind of forgot that maybe Thursday night was the night. And everybody else, everybody kind of was like, you know, it's been a long week.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Yeah. Everybody's exhausted.

[Travis]

Exhausted.

[Amy Earnhardt]

We've been in the sun all day, drinking all day, every day.

[Travis]

I'm in my mind on Thursday. I was like, hammer down. Today's my day. Yeah, I'm gonna, I'm gonna get, get in on, get on pace and just kind of hang in there.

[Amy Earnhardt]

I knew that you had that mindset when I came. So I had a boxing appointment. They have a guy come into the house and like, box with you. Tamel and I did that before we even did that class. He's downstairs in the pool by himself with a beer, floating around like an alligator. Just floating around. And I'm like, oh, where are the kids? Upstairs with tj. I'm like, he is. He's got the hat on. Like, there's no turning back. This is what he's gonna do today. I didn't know he was planning to stay up till two in the morning also. And I damn sure. Didn't know he was planning to take TJ to the pub the night before. We were going to get up at 8 for the golf cart parade. No, it didn't happen. TJ was exhausted and went to.

[Travis]

TJ was in bed at 9 o'. Clock.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Yeah. Not Dale.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Wait, so you. Did you go out alone?

[Travis]

I didn't go anywhere. I just kind of.

[Amy Earnhardt]

He didn't go. But at 1:30 I texted him and I was like, hey, man, come downstairs. We gotta get up early. Blah, blah, blah. He's like, well, I'm gonna have to drive back from the Gulf from the pub. And then he laughs at his own comment. Like, I knew he wasn't at the pub, but I could hear him walking around. The lights were on. She's like, he just wants attention so bad. He wants me to come up there so bad, even if I'm mad that he's willing to make a comment like that.

[Travis]

I'm high risk.

[Amy Earnhardt]

He is the liability, friend.

[Travis]

High risk shots.

[Amy Earnhardt]

I just turned off a life Persona.

[Travis]

She's gonna come up there and drink a beer with me. 95% chance she's going to yell at me.

[Amy Earnhardt]

I didn't either, by the way. I went to sleep.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

See, so it was worth it then.

[Travis]

High risk shots.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Back in the day, I would have marched my sweet little ass up there and give him a new one, but I don't have the energy anymore. And I know he's full of it. Yeah, I could hear him stomping around.

[Travis]

So we get up the next morning and I'm not feeling too great. I'm actually feeling worse than normal. And we got a. She's like, all right. I mean the damn.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Start throwing vitamins at him. Drink this, eat this. Yes. You've got to get your. Together, get up.

[Travis]

This is the other thing. And I know I'm wrong, but the golf cart parade started at 8:30.

[Amy Earnhardt]

It starts at 9. We kind of have to get there and park around 8:30.

[Travis]

Right. And I'm thinking in my head, ain't no freaking way this was. It was this early ever.

[Amy Earnhardt]

It's always been that early.

[Travis]

Right? And I'm sitting there going, God dang. I don't. Why would they have it this early? I don't know.

[Amy Earnhardt]

So it's not so hot.

[Travis]

Yeah.

[Amy Earnhardt]

So they do it on Sullivan's and then you do it on Iop.

[Travis]

They do it on Sullivan's and then everyone moves to Isle of Palms.

[Amy Earnhardt]

And then it's an even bigger parade over there.

[Travis]

It's a con. There's A connector. It's a mile away. And they have a whole nother golf cart parade on the other island and a lot of the same golf carts as well as every golf cart on Isle of Palm. So it's even bigger. More, more, more.

[Amy Earnhardt]

More floats, more golf carts, more ambitious.

[Travis]

But on Isle of Palms, there's less. There's no trees. So you're sitting out there in the blazing sun. But there are a lot of people, you know, and what a lot of people do is, is they, they, they take, they drive around. Either the people sitting on the side of the road or the people on the golf carts have like five gallon buckets full of water with water guns and water guns. And they're shooting the heck out of each other all the time. So that's kind of.

[Amy Earnhardt]

It actually feels so good. You're, it's really, you're standing there wanting to get shot.

[Travis]

It's really fun. And, and, and so had we had me and TJ not had to fly at lunch and leave. We didn't even go to Isle of Palms and do that one. No, we skipped it. We would have been all in. We hell, we would have decorated our damn cart and been in the damn parade. You know, we keep telling ourselves we're going to do that.

[Amy Earnhardt]

I bought all the stuff to do it one year. We just didn't. We got lazy.

[Travis]

We need to do it. But man, it's a bummer having to leave the party early.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

That's the worst. You're leaving it early. Like people are still staying. Like it's not.

[Travis]

Oh, everybody around us, everybody around us, the family, the kids, everybody's just like, great, this is gonna be awesome day. Way to start the day. And me and TJ are like, we're getting ready to have to leave in two hours. Just sucks. And so me and TJ get in a car and I've got this melancholy, melancholy. I got this melancholy car that I drive down there and it fit the person, it fit the attitude.

[Amy Earnhardt]

You can't keep a nice car in that. The elements down there.

[Travis]

I got it. Yeah, I like. So we have, you know, we, we, we have this place down in South Carolina coast. And I like the fact that our car that we drive down there is very unassuming. It's like extremely unassuming. I don't even know what it's like a Chevy.

[Amy Earnhardt]

It's an old Chevy Traverse.

[Travis]

Old Chevy Traverse. I mean, it's like, it's almost 8, 10 years old. I think it's a 2012.

[Amy Earnhardt]

It's old and it stinks.

[Travis]

It stinks.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

But you know, you can fix that, right?

[Travis]

Huh?

[Amy Earnhardt]

The stink came with the car. It's embedded in the carpet. And at this point, there's just really. You know, we just drive it back and forth from the airport to the house, and then we drive the golf cart everywhere.

[Travis]

The salt air and all that stuff's gonna destroy everything down there. That house, the. The everything about the house kicks the house's ass. All of it. And so the wiring, the gas lines, electric, everything, you gotta stay on top of it, which I like. I like the. I like that I need to be responsible and tinker and fix, so. But I ain't putting no nice car down there. And the same thing, kind of with the golf cart. We're. We're sort of on a. We're in a phase where maybe conversation. Amy wants to get about golf cart, but I'm cheap. And I buy this used rental that's been beat to. This rental, has been used for years, and by everybody. And they. Well, I buy the rental, take it apart, put new batteries in it, paint it, make it look good. People even stop us and go, that's cute.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Do you ever think that they do that? Just to see what the story behind this whole situation is? Like, it's this cute. Where'd you get that? Well, you know, like, I don't really like it, but I want to know what's going on here.

[Travis]

My golf cart cost me five grand. If you buy a new golf cart today that's going to haul six people, it's $20,000, $25,000. It's ridiculous. And so.

[Amy Earnhardt]

But they have, like, really safe buckles and all the things.

[Travis]

Our buckles buckle.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Our buckles buckle sometimes. And the girls, like, you have to help the kids do all the things these. They're all rough.

[Travis]

Get all new buckles.

[Amy Earnhardt]

It's like the buckles on the buggy here.

[Travis]

The word buckle is a lot. So let's say, you know what happened, though, that was really nice, that I thought was funny and awesome is TJ rents a golf cart for his family. Nice new carts, probably a couple of years old, is a rental. But it's.

[Amy Earnhardt]

It's really cute.

[Travis]

Really cute cart. They bring it there, and I plug this thing. We plug it in to charge it, and it. I have one of those retractable extension cords on a. On a. On a wheel. It blew my extension cord up that I've been using on my golf cart for five years.

[Amy Earnhardt]

So we have a series of old. That works fine together. The New stuff doesn't work with the old stuff.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

So if you get anything past 2015, it won't work.

[Travis]

I'm like, this. I'm like, this new golf cart is a piece of crap. I can't even charge it.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

No, your cord is a piece of crap.

[Travis]

No, no, no, my cord's fine, Travis.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Thank you. Thank you.

[Travis]

My cord is great.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Only if it's used with an old model.

[Travis]

No, my cord come. I bought the damn. The cord is five years old.

[Amy Earnhardt]

We really got them mad now. Let's. Good job.

[Travis]

Anyways, I'm sitting there going, and they're so tame. Tamela and Amy are still there with the kids. We're leaving them. And I'm like, hey, y', all, you know, can't charge your brand new rental golf cart. So be, you know, be aware. Mine is great. Mine is charged. Still working. Very trustworthy. If you need to go anywhere, probably use my. My.

[Amy Earnhardt]

It worked this week and it's worked well lately. But I have had two instances with other moms with small children in the heat where that thing has broken down. And it has been a miserable experience. Like, one guy had to come replace all the batteries. It was stuck in the middle of the road.

[Travis]

Battery posts melted off.

[Amy Earnhardt]

How am I supposed. Like that's not even something I can work through.

[Travis]

That was interesting. Well, that ain't really the golf carts fault.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Whose fault is that?

[Travis]

That's me. That's the. So there's maintenance that you gotta do on golf carts. You gotta keep them batteries full of water and all of those things. And down there, that's a. That's kind of something that I, I probably need to stay more on top of.

[Amy Earnhardt]

It just never happens when he's driving it. It always happens when I am driving it.

[Travis]

Well, Amy, I know why that happens too.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Because you can't drive it. You can't drive it like you're supposed to drive it because then it falls apart. No, can't push the gas all the way down. Travis.

[Travis]

Amy gets on the golf cart on the floor.

[Amy Earnhardt]

We're going.

[Travis]

It's a golf cart ready to go. Hey, this is Dale Jr. And for the latest bless your heart gear, go to shop.dirtymomedia.com We've got plenty of options for everybody and adding new stuff every day. Go to shop.dirtymomedia.com hey, Dale. Yo.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

[Travis]

Well, I'm already on it. It's actually going to be delivered soon. Arby's Angus cheese steak with A side of curly fries is on the way. It's the ultimate meat and cheese combination for steak lovers like you and me. It's actually the perfect balance of quarter pound of Angus steak, melted American cheese fire roasted peppers and onions with a nice garlic spread to tie it all together. It's a must try. That's going to be our lunch sandwich.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Sounds delicious. But there's one thing I've learned is if you're talking about food, I got to trust you on this. You've never failed me yet.

[Travis]

I have not?

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

No, you've nailed it.

[Travis]

Well, there you go, man. This sandwich has it all. When I first tried this, I was at the shop checking on the race cars and stuff, seeing if the guys need anything. We ordered up some Arby's, and when this Angus cheesesteak arrived, I was blown away by how much steak is actually on this thing. Definitely big enough to satisfy your hunger. Tastes like a true American classic. Everybody check out your nearest Arby's today to try this Angus cheesesteak. And if you want it delivered like we do, use code dale for $0 delivery when you order through the Arby's app. That's code D A L E on the app. Available for a limited time at participating US locations while supplies last.

[Travis]

I had an S10 pickup truck restored. I had an S10 when I just started driving at 16. And I've always wanted another S10 just like it. And so I had. I had a bought S10, had it kind of fixed up.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Oh, you're gonna tell on me now? I just realized what you were about to.

[Travis]

Me and Amy were down at the saloon hanging out, raising a little hail, and Amy needed something from the house. Yes. And Amy's going to. I mean, I'm going to run up to the house and get this. Amy gets in my little S10 and I hear her all the way up to the house, and I'm like. I'm like, holy, this thing. It's like an old S10 restored. I'm like, she's running this thing like four times harder than I would.

[Amy Earnhardt]

And I'm like, damn, the music's so loud in the truck, I can't hear what the car sounds like.

[Travis]

Well, she just drive and she's on.

[Amy Earnhardt]

The floor that's not how I drive any car. That is not true.

[Travis]

And so I'm like, okay.

[Amy Earnhardt]

It was, like, stuck between the gears or something. It wasn't. It wasn't.

[Travis]

It was. It was. It doesn't shift. It's an old, old transmission, all that. So it doesn't. You kind of got to modulate the throttle to get it to shift into the next gear. And she's just like, full throttle. And it's like he's got a new.

[Amy Earnhardt]

He's got a new model lady, and he's got all these old model cars, and he's expecting me to know how to drive them.

[Travis]

But she gets on the golf cart and she's like on the mat. And it's like, when we ride and.

[Amy Earnhardt]

He'S driving, the girls are like, dad, why are we going so slow? They did that yesterday. Went on to feed the swans. The girls are on the back wanting to go fast. Daddy's a race car driver. We want to go fast. And that's what they think. That's what I think. And he's like, nope, we're just cruising. And they're like, God, the mosquitoes are getting us. Can you go a little faster? Isla has, like, armfuls of mosquito bites because he was going that slow.

[Travis]

They got those down at the pond.

[Amy Earnhardt]

No, they didn't.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

This gives a new golf cart.

[Travis]

We're not getting a new golf cart until this son of just combusting flame.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Split in half and fall apart right in front of his face.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Amy, give me the address. I'll make a road trip and we can all sabotage.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Send you the address. You can sneak in. I'll tell you exactly where to get around the camera.

[Travis]

My golf cart has. It has a tailgate on the back. It's like, got a little bed to haul.

[Amy Earnhardt]

I got trash around. We haul trash now on our golf. We are a trash truck.

[Travis]

Well, yeah, we have a ton of fricking trash, man. When we go to the beach, we accumulate so much trash, we cannot put it in the cans and expect the cans not to overfill.

[Amy Earnhardt]

And, well, also, there's the rats.

[Travis]

And we're never down there. We're never down there when trash runs. Trash runs on Thursday or Friday, and we're never there on Thursday and Friday.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

It sounds like when people say, your golf cart's cute. It's not a compliment is what it sounds like.

[Amy Earnhardt]

It sounds like it's a tee up for an explanation.

[Travis]

Our golf cart's good.

[Amy Earnhardt]

We're not getting a new golf cart. We're Just going to have to wait until the wheels fall off.

[Travis]

That's right.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

He'll buy new wheels.

[Amy Earnhardt]

He'll buy new wheels. That's probably true. But back to the golf cart parade. So we're going to do a. The theme next year. And the girls want to do under the Sea. I think we're going to have Aunt Jamie be Ursula. I really want everybody to be race car drivers. Or like all of us are. Dale Senior. We have mustaches.

[Travis]

We want to be. Because I don't have mustache.

[Amy Earnhardt]

You're not going to be there. You and TJ Will be gone again.

[Travis]

It'll be on Friday or Saturday.

[Amy Earnhardt]

It'll be on Saturday morning.

[Travis]

Yeah, we'll be gone and you'll be gone.

[Amy Earnhardt]

So it's just a bunch of girls.

[Travis]

Okay.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Which is why it would be more fun for us to dress up like race car drivers. And I'll be like little dudes. I think that would be so fun.

[Travis]

Little. Little mustaches.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Yeah.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Is going to be hot. But you need a fire suit and that's going to be hot.

[Amy Earnhardt]

It's going to be hot.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

So that doesn't work.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Well. It'll be fine. We can tough it out. Yeah.

[Travis]

Drivers do.

[Amy Earnhardt]

That's true. They have like spandex ones too that aren't probably insulated. Like, not a true fire suit. And I do have a little dress up one that one of the girls can wear that's an actual old gel senior. It's got the helmet and everything.

[Travis]

Yeah. Before we move on, I wanted to address the children's book in the room. The new Buster book is out. This is a Halloween themed book. Buster and the race car graveyard. So we, everybody knows we have a race car graveyard on our property. And Buster and his friends are going to go through the race car graveyard. Me and Amy, with each book that we make with Buster, me and Amy get more and more involved because we unders. We start to, you know, it's just become more and more comfortable to kind of immerse yourself into editing and all of that. Like asking for things to be a little different or writing it little, you know, writing the writing a little different to where it's easier to read. So now that I've been able to take these books into schools and stuff and read them in front of kids, you'll read it and you'll go, it's harder. It's hard to read that little part. I, I'll be more aware next time we get into writing the book on how it's read. Right. And so I'M excited about this one. I think the COVID looks amazing. Great. Great design illustration. Our illustrator is Ella, and she's been with us, obviously, since we started this. And she does such a great job.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

There's a Buster character named after your mom in this book. Correct.

[Travis]

There he is. So I'll. I'll read the. I'll read the new characters. If you've got any of the Buster books, you know, some of the. Some of the characters that we've had in the past. Coach Hogg, Jimmy Jam, Click, Buster, obviously, and Scuff. They're all in this. This one as well. But there's a couple new characters in this particular story, and one of them is. Let me get to it. Brenda. Is a rusty car that is a ghost in the graveyard. It's basically kind of like Buster and his friends are going through what might be like a haunted trail. Haunted forest. What you might do during Halloween with your friends. And Brenda is playing, jumping out and scaring some of the kids. And so, yeah, that's. That's pretty fun to kind of weave in some characters that are connected to real people in your life.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Yeah, there's a lot of people in there that have inspired some of the characters. So you can. You can get this pre order online at all of your major retailers. And it's released on August 12th. The retail store here at Junior Murder Sports will have it as early as next week, so you can stop by and buy one right here. Okay. We're gonna play a game. It's called Poetry for Neanderthals. So Dale and I each have a list of words that are different. And so we're gonna have to try to do our best with one syllable words describing our word to get the other person to guess it. All right, Ralph's gonna go first.

[Amy Earnhardt]

You did?

[Travis]

Oh, I had a bunch of hamsters.

[Amy Earnhardt]

That's weird. People that have hamsters are weird.

[Travis]

I was a kid.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Doesn't make. Is it still weird?

[Travis]

Are you serious?

[Amy Earnhardt]

My sister had a guinea pig and I thought it was so weird.

[Travis]

Who is.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Who said.

[Travis]

I've never ever heard anyone say, man. Hamster owners are just weird people.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Like, what do you do with it?

[Travis]

I was 8 or 10 years old. Okay.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Do they crawl?

[Travis]

People have rabbits. Snakes.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Those are. That's weird, too.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Really? I would classify a snake.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Let me get a gerbil. Like, huh.

[Travis]

Get a gerbil.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

It's so weird. Get a dog.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Honey, go get the cedar shavings. We need to change them out. I don't know.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

What do you do with it?

[Travis]

You just hold it.

[Amy Earnhardt]

It stinks like that.

[Travis]

You hear these people? It's weird. Y' all are weird the way y' all think. I had.

[Amy Earnhardt]

So what happened to your hamsters?

[Travis]

I got to tell you.

[Amy Earnhardt]

So feeling this is a bad ending.

[Travis]

Yep. Do you remember Days of our Lives and Patch and Kayla or what? Patch and. It was Patching somebody that were romantically involved in the soap opera Days of.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Our Lives at the T shirt. Your mom always were.

[Travis]

Yeah. No, that. That. Yes.

[Amy Earnhardt]

That was a show. But not them.

[Travis]

That was a show. But the couple before they fell off a boat.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Or Patch and Kayla.

[Travis]

Patch and Kayla. Patrick. Kayla. So my. This is like in the 80s, and I named my hamsters Patch and Kayla. And they. I had one aquarium and they had babies.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Oh, my.

[Travis]

And so I've got the hamster with the babies and Patch. Patches taking the babies out of the nest and take them across to the other side. He's mad.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Is he going to eat them?

[Travis]

I don't. That's what they had. That's the fear. And so they. He was trying to separate the baby and the mommies because he was. He's now like jealous or whatever. So I had to put Patch in his own aquarium. And. And that didn't go well. They patched it and didn't take that.

[Amy Earnhardt]

You killed your hamster. Have a broken heart?

[Travis]

I think so. I think that's what happened. And then, you know, the babies. It was a. It was too much for me. Too much for a 10 year old.

[Amy Earnhardt]

It's a lot for anyone. How do you deal with tiny little hamster babies?

[Travis]

Yeah, I didn't. I was not ready. I was not ready to. We weren't ready to scale up.

[Amy Earnhardt]

See where we think this is Weird notion comes from. This whole situation seems like something that an 8 year old boy shouldn't be going through.

[Travis]

I can scale the. Out of some jerky, but scaling up. Hamsters, hamsters, golf carts.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Can't scale up.

[Amy Earnhardt]

No.

[Travis]

I will never.

[Amy Earnhardt]

They're here to die.

[Travis]

I will never. You know, always in our hearts. Patch and Kayla and the babies.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

We need a T shirt.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Rest in peace. May you all rest in peace.

[Travis]

Always in our hearts.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Oh, my God. I'm so excited to get to go on vacation with you today.

[Travis]

I will never forget Patch, man. We were boys.

[Amy Earnhardt]

You're like you. You're in timeout and he's just decided to go ahead and just fall over.

[Travis]

I was doing what I thought was right and it just. I'll never forget it. Anytime I think each time the word hamster is mentioned, this is where my mind goes.

[Amy Earnhardt]

I bet you got some trauma.

[Travis]

I do. Oh, man.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Patch.

[Travis]

I don't know. This is neither here nor there. But the aquarium. The second aquarium that I got was a hand me down or something. In the bottom of it was cardboard. And he ate the bottom of the cake. He ate the bottom of it out. Trying to find a way to escape and get. And I dumb me had him side by side. So he's sitting there looking through the glass going, that's what I had. Now here I am, I'm in jail alone.

[Amy Earnhardt]

I'm a hand me down jail and.

[Travis]

Where I want to be. He's literally right here. Killed him.

[Amy Earnhardt]

You tortured his. God dang. Dale.

[Travis]

This has been a funny one.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Are we good for asking, man?

We still got more.

Hey guys, Dale and I are back in the Dirty Mo Media Studios today for another episode of Bless yous Heart. We've talked about a lot of funny things. If you haven't already, please hit our subscribe button on our YouTube page and also check out our merchop.dirtymomedia.com There is a new merch competition happening. I'm wearing one of the shirts here. This is Haven's shirt. So we have some staff members that have designed shirts and they're having a heavy competition at the moment. Dale's going to model a couple for you. I think there's five in total. Is that right?

[Travis]

Yeah.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Sit down by the mic, Dale. We can't hear you though. There's five in total, but a couple of them don't have their shirts down here.

[Travis]

Okay, well those guys are really going.

[Amy Earnhardt]

To be the we're going to put the link in story for you so that you can see them all.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Dirty Mo Media that's a darlington stripe.

[Travis]

On the Dirty Mo like a Darlington stripe. This is simply slide.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Yes. And mine says heart on the rocks, which obviously is the cutest, right?

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Yes, it's the best.

[Amy Earnhardt]

It's the best. So we're here for Ask Amy. What do you got?

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

All right, so first question comes from Bruce. Do you have a location that you guys want to take the girls on to vacation that they haven't been to yet?

[Travis]

Disney cruise.

[Amy Earnhardt]

We are. We are doing a Disney cruise.

[Travis]

Disney cruise planned.

[Amy Earnhardt]

They are very excited about that. I'd like to take them just down to the islands and. And do like a catamaran boat thing in the Bahamas or something. I feel like that would be fun. We did take Isla to the Bahamas when she was tiny and some of the other families that were with us had younger kids and it was a blast. We just boated around, played at the beach all day.

[Travis]

Yeah.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

And now they're at the age where the, like, they can remember these things so they can take them with them.

[Amy Earnhardt]

They would. They would remember. They would enjoy like seeing the turtles and the stingrays and all the things. Yes, it'd be fun.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Next question comes from Claire. What propaganda have you fallen for recently that you've bought online? So something you saw someone advertising that you bought?

[Amy Earnhardt]

I am. I like an ad. I really am like one of those people that falls victim to buying things I see on ads. I. I did just see one of my girlfriends post about a certain makeup and I'm like, I kind of stick to what I know works for me. So I've ordered that. I have yet to try it, but nothing like gadgety. Oh, I did just buy these bowls. So take it back from Crow Canyon, I think is the brand they sell serving bowls and trays and things that are this metal speckly painted. But there's a mixing bowl that's literally this big around and I don't know what I'm gonna do with it, but I did just unbox that yesterday.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Wait, so you bought this with no idea of what to do with it?

[Amy Earnhardt]

Well, so in the video she's making like family sized, catered, like catering sized pasta salad or a salad. It's good for like our get togethers, but I don't have like a direct need for it in the moment. But I thought I have to have that just. Cause I've never seen a bowl that large and I'm constantly trying to find something big enough to mix like pasta salad or whatever I'm making for Earnhardt gatherings or a birthday party or something. So it'll get used. But I was blown away at how big that was. I could fit like, Gus could lay in it. It was that big.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Holy. That's.

[Amy Earnhardt]

He could curl up in that thing for sure. Yeah.

[Travis]

I bought this thing that you stick to the floor, and it's a little flap and it holds the door shut. So if you got a door that wants to. You know that you won't. If you got a door that you like to keep open, but it's not level and it kind of likes to walk shut, this thing sticks to the floor, has a little flap. The door goes over the flap, knocks the flap down, the flap pops back up and holds the door shut open. And.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Can you send that to me?

[Travis]

It's plastic and it's piece plastic.

[Amy Earnhardt]

We need a redesign now.

[Travis]

It's. I mean, it works. But if I put that on the floor and Amy saw it, she'd go.

[Amy Earnhardt]

What the hell is that?

[Travis]

And I bought it for the. I bought it for our basement. A door downstairs in our basement. And it doesn't.

[Amy Earnhardt]

The one to the way back, it.

[Travis]

Just doesn't stick to the floors. Textured and it doesn't stick to it.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Have you thought about seeing if you could fix the door?

[Amy Earnhardt]

Yeah, that's one thing we could do. He did. He does like to. I bought like ham on a door.

[Travis]

Two or three of these things for. And they're like, you know, 12 bucks a piece or whatever. 12 bucks? Three even. I don't even know. Just garbage and didn't use them.

[Amy Earnhardt]

We do have like.

[Travis]

They got me.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Yeah.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

This next question comes from Travis. It's me. Any advice for going on a third date?

[Amy Earnhardt]

I was gonna ask you about your dating life. Cause we haven't talked about it since I was in forever ago. And we were swiping on the girl.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Right.

[Amy Earnhardt]

That went through dry January.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Yeah. And that didn't go anywhere.

[Amy Earnhardt]

So you're on the third date with the same person tomorrow. What have you done with her?

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Already did drinks first and then did dinner and drinks for the second.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Okay.

[Travis]

Is this like Simon says, like, dinner, dinner, drinks, dinner, drink?

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

No, but like the first one. First date, you just like to get drinks because then, like, it makes it casual and light hearted.

[Travis]

Damn, Travis.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Is she Mr.

[Travis]

Predictable?

[Amy Earnhardt]

Like, you could take her out on the lake. You could do a. Do you want to take her on your friends yet or are you not.

[Travis]

Going to do that?

[Amy Earnhardt]

No, I feel like a movie's kind of boring. Just because you're not gonna really talk to each other.

[Travis]

Yeah, go throw some axes.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Really?

[Travis]

No.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Okay, I've done that on a date before, and that's not.

[Amy Earnhardt]

It's a little scary.

[Travis]

What? You take her to escape room. I'd be a terrible partner.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

I hate escape rooms.

[Amy Earnhardt]

I do, too. So if somebody took me to an escape room on a date, I would show my ass. Like, I literally just freak out and scream.

[Travis]

How about. That's a great way to break up.

[Amy Earnhardt]

That's a good way to break up.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Then you're stuck in the room.

[Amy Earnhardt]

That's a real good way to break up. Dale. They'll spend a lifetime trying to do that.

[Travis]

If you're like, you're wanting to break up with them, but you don't know how to do it. Or you can take them to the escape room and just be a terrible partner. And they'll be like, I hate you. And you'll be like, God.

[Amy Earnhardt]

See you later.

[Travis]

Got it. Ding.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Oh, my God. I'm so lucky. I'm so lucky.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

You nabbed yourself a winner.

[Amy Earnhardt]

He's so romantic. I don't know. What about brunch?

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

So we were gonna do Friday night, but I guess you could do Saturday brunch.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Is it not a sleepover? We're not sleeping over yet.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

We'll find out.

[Travis]

Oh, my gosh.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Maybe you get to do both.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Never know.

[Travis]

This is like he needs some real advice.

[Amy Earnhardt]

I know. So she's trying.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

You're talking about escape rooms and axe throwing.

[Amy Earnhardt]

I would want to go to dinner again. Take her somewhere nicer.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Okay.

[Travis]

Maybe upscale the dinner.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Upscale the dinner? Yeah. Phil's all about upscale this conversation.

[Travis]

Hey, I would say you could give her some jerky. Boys. Beef jerky.

[Amy Earnhardt]

But they're sold out.

[Travis]

Greatest beef jerky in the world. I mean, wouldn't you want to give somebody something that's so incredible?

[Amy Earnhardt]

Maybe if they're still together by Christmas, she can put summoners.

[Travis]

That would truly show her.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

I feel like that's a five year anniversary gift.

[Travis]

Hey, that would be a great way to show her is how much you care about her. To give her something so incredible and.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Something that's so hard to get.

[Travis]

Yeah. And something that's really possible. I've scoured the ends of the earth for this bag of jerky.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Oh, my gosh. I don't know if this is much help, but I would upscale the dinner. And then maybe there's another experience or like a bar you could go to for cocktails afterwards.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Okay.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Just to kind of change up the scene.

[Travis]

Are you nervous, though? Don't you feel like if you take her to a bar for Cocktails. It. It actually kind of presents this opportunity to be like, friend zone and, like, her to go, really, I'm not into this.

[Amy Earnhardt]

I'm not taking her.

[Travis]

It's an easy out.

[Amy Earnhardt]

We're not taking her to the bar. Bar. You're taking her to a nicer, swanky place where you can sit and talk. He's thinking, like, I'm sitting at the corner of a dive bar, going to Hank's, and I'm really not talking to anybody. I'm going to Hank's, you know, see you tomorrow morning. If I can remember from here on.

[Travis]

Out, I guess that's what he's got to be careful with. If you're a guy and you take her to for drinks and cocktails, don't take her somewhere where.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Have a couple waters while you're at the bar.

[Travis]

Well, don't take her somewhere where you might end up, like, being more interested in having the good time that you usually had there.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

That's why you go to an upscale.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Besides go somewhere new for birthday.

[Travis]

You can't go somewhere where your attention erodes away from the date her, the purpose.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Yeah, you go to, like, a place that sells wine. Like, upscale cocktails and stuff like that. Not where, like, they sells wine.

[Amy Earnhardt]

There are, like, piano bars and all kinds of fun stuff like that to do downtown.

[Travis]

Publix.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Go to Lowe's grocery store.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Dale.

[Travis]

They have a bar.

[Amy Earnhardt]

They also have carrot cake.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

So speaking of relationships, then, Bella wants to know who said, I love you first?

[Travis]

Oh, man. Do you remember?

[Amy Earnhardt]

I think I said it first.

[Travis]

I'm sure I did.

[Amy Earnhardt]

I mean, I remember, but I probably shouldn't share all the details. You should have said it shortly after.

[Travis]

I don't remember this. Tell.

[Amy Earnhardt]

No.

[Travis]

Why not, Dale? Shouldn't we, Dale?

[Amy Earnhardt]

No, I don't think so.

[Travis]

Just. You told me you loved me.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Yes.

[Travis]

All right, great.

[Amy Earnhardt]

And you said it back.

[Travis]

That's how it happens. I think that's probably common for most people.

[Amy Earnhardt]

It just flew out of my mouth. I didn't even mean. It wasn't like an intentional.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

She didn't mean it.

[Travis]

It was like. I don't know what I will speak for her. She was like an uncorked bottle of champagne that had been shaken up, and she was. It was just. It just escaped out. She was holding it in for all this time and finally, like, could not stop it from flying out of her mouth.

[Amy Earnhardt]

And part of me was like, oh, no. What did I just do?

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Did you feel pressure to say it back, Dale, or were you already thinking about it?

[Travis]

I was probably already thinking about it.

[Amy Earnhardt]

So that's why he said it back very quickly. It was.

[Travis]

I was probably sitting there going, man, I really love this girl. I want to tell her I love her, but I don't want to.

[Amy Earnhardt]

I can't be uncool.

[Travis]

Well, no, I didn't. I was like, maybe she'll out. She. I was just assuming she was going to go, whoa, whoa, slow down. Chill out.

[Amy Earnhardt]

He was probably also still thinking about that escape room thing. Like, I'm not sure yet if I really want to keep her around too long. So if I tell her I love her, I can't take her to the escape room.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

I need to know that she loves me first before I take her there.

[Amy Earnhardt]

They had other. Come on, Dale. Yes, he did.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

No, I don't know if they did. It's like a new thing.

[Travis]

Yeah, they didn't have it back then. Oh, wait.

[Amy Earnhardt]

We're not that old.

[Travis]

We are.

[Amy Earnhardt]

You are.

[Travis]

Well, that's interesting. I didn't know she said it first.

[Amy Earnhardt]

I can't wait to hear how your date goes, Travis of a full report.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Last time I text you guys, I said I should have listened to Amy.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Yeah, if it doesn't feel right, you.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Should just don't go on a date if she's doing tribunal.

[Travis]

Right.

[Amy Earnhardt]

So you're already predicting failure.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

No, no, no, no.

[Amy Earnhardt]

We were talking about him in his third date. No, this is last. This is December.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

January.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Yeah, it was January. He was going to go on a date with this girl, and she was like, oh, I'm doing dry January. I'm like, we should probably just swipe. And he said, move it to February. Yeah, but apparently that didn't go anywhere. This is a totally different person now. He's up to speed. Good point. What other questions?

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Next question comes from Daniel. Who would win in a battle? The characters from Bluey or the characters from Paw Patrol? And who would you want to win?

[Amy Earnhardt]

Oh, I would want Bluey to win. That is the best cartoon ever.

[Travis]

I feel like Paw Patrol because they're first responders, and they know. Well, they got tools, how to. They know how to fight.

[Amy Earnhardt]

They got all the trinkets and the. Yeah, they've got, like, superpowers and stuff, don't they?

[Travis]

They do, but I would want, like.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

A hose, too, from your fire truck. Like, you can.

[Travis]

They're first responders, and they probably do have some training.

[Amy Earnhardt]

I would. I would want the dogs to win.

[Travis]

They probably have some training.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Not. Not the Paw Patrol dogs. The dingoes. Bingo. The dingo. No. Is She a blue heeler? I don't know.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

I've never seen either of these.

[Amy Earnhardt]

You haven't? It's really funny. It's cheeky. It's hilarious. They're Australian and it's awesome.

[Travis]

You've never seen Bluey? Nope. Yeah, the Bluey characters will probably meet the Paw Patrol and then want them to role play in the backyard.

[Amy Earnhardt]

That's cheer. That's true.

[Travis]

Yeah. So they would probably get their asses kicked.

[Amy Earnhardt]

It would be a sneak attack by Bluey and Bingo.

[Travis]

Oh, really?

[Amy Earnhardt]

I think so. Yeah.

[Travis]

They are pretty creative.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Yeah. They seem to be able to talk their dad into doing everything that they want.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Last question comes from Derek. How late after the 4th of July can you set off fireworks?

[Amy Earnhardt]

I don't know. We didn't even make the fireworks this year. The boys left and didn't keep us rolling, so we were in bed. They shoot off at the beach at 9.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

No, but not like the time of day like after the fourth of July. So like tonight, can you set off fireworks and is it okay?

[Amy Earnhardt]

I feel like all weekend. So the fourth of July was on a Friday. People were shooting fireworks off in their yards all weekend.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

But so tonight, could you do it?

[Amy Earnhardt]

I mean, I wouldn't be annoyed. Who didn't like fireworks?

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

I feel like you've got through the weekend and let's put it to bed.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Really?

[Travis]

I agree with that.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

People are trying to get on with their wives. Get to bed and you're setting off fireworks.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Like, well, if they're. If it's happening lately, yeah, that would be annoying. But I mean, we have stuff like that happening around our house.

[Travis]

I would say that the person that is still shooting off fireworks on Monday after the weekend, you can't really trust that person.

[Amy Earnhardt]

What if they didn't get the weekend off?

[Travis]

They would be the kind of person that would tell you like, if you're like, hey, man, I'm gonna go to the. I'll go to the pub for some beers. Yeah, I'll meet you down there. And they never show up.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

I mean, setting them off on Monday, they would have had Sunday off at the worst.

[Amy Earnhardt]

I don't know. Some people worked all weekend. I don't know.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Then figure it out. Are they working at 10pm every night and they have Monday? They're all like, no, we Monday too late.

[Travis]

We're back on. You know, we're back on the live train.

[Amy Earnhardt]

I didn't expect you two to be so rigid, but okay. No fun. No more fun. No, I've got a couple fireworks laid in the garage, and I want to know what it is, but I won't do it. I'll have to wait till next year.

[Travis]

I know what it is. Since me and you are busy on Monday, we don't want. We're like, hey, we were supposed to party Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, and now we're working, so you should be working or not. You can't keep partying. Yeah.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

You got a couple days before the holiday.

[Amy Earnhardt]

That's what yalls probably.

[Travis]

Yeah.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

No, I didn't. Personally, I don't care for.

[Travis]

He won't admit it.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

I don't really care for fireworks much.

[Travis]

That's the problem.

[Amy Earnhardt]

You're just a fun police altogether now.

[Travis]

It's great. I don't even like fireworks.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

You have.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Did you get burned as a kid with one?

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

No, I just never. Like, if I'm. They're out, like, cool. But I'm not gonna be like, I need to go buy fireworks. And you set them off.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Oh, I freaking love doing that. Pulling up to the fireworks stand at home because you can't buy them in North Carolina. So, like, in Texas and South Carolina, you can just buy them everywhere. It is so much fun getting to the stand and, like, you've got your mindset on sparklers and some simple stuff that the kids can play with. And then your eyes get big and you're like, oh, what does that do? What does that do? And the guy's like, well, these are actually really, really good. He pulls up the box from, you know, the not displayed stuff we bought.

[Travis]

Like, these are the illegal fireworks.

[Amy Earnhardt]

These are the illegal fireworks. Have fun.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Do you ever have Roman candle wars?

[Amy Earnhardt]

We never. No, we didn't do wars. But, yeah, we had, like, my dad had metal tubes made for us to hold them, make them safe.

[Travis]

We safe. We shot each other with roman candles.

[Amy Earnhardt]

We were a bunch of little girls. We didn't do that stuff.

[Travis]

But we have it on video.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Did you?

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Yeah, Yeah, I mean, I've done it. I'm just not a big firework person. But I think you got a couple days before the holiday. You can set them off and then by the weekend. Moving on. Okay, that's my stance. And that's all we got for asking me.

[Amy Earnhardt]

All right, well, thank you for your questions, Travis. I loved yours. I can't wait to hear how your day goes.

[Travis]

Full report.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Yes, I need a full report. If you haven't already, please hit the subscribe button. Check out shop dirtymomedia.com we need to begin.

[Travis]

We need to give Travis a word. A word that he has to use during his date.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Like. Oh, like shenanigans or strenuous. Strenuous.

[Travis]

Strenuous.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

But it's not gonna be like. There's not, like, a recording of it. Like, so, like.

[Amy Earnhardt]

But you're gonna be honest and report back. This is gonna be great.

[Travis]

How do you work strenuous?

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

I thought Dale was gonna say love.

[Travis]

No. How do you str. Not gonna do that.

[Amy Earnhardt]

I love this beer would be easy.

[Travis]

You gotta figure out how to work strenuous.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Strenuous conversation work is strenuous when you're.

[Amy Earnhardt]

With Dale Jr. Don't talk about Dale on your date. You got to talk about yourself.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Strenuous. All right. I can get that in there.

[Travis]

Yeah.

[Amy Earnhardt]

I can't wait to hear how that goes. All right.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

That's your favorite, right? You always want to know about Tim's dating life. That's your.

[Amy Earnhardt]

He won't. He won't open up either.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

He's younger, though.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Is he? Yeah, I can see. I don't even know how old he is. I can't tell.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

He's, like, in his 20s still.

[Amy Earnhardt]

I'm gonna have to crack the egg. He's a baby. All right, well, thank you guys for your questions. We will see you next week. Please hit the subscribe button if you haven't already. Check out the [e-mail] and don't forget about the competition. Hotter on the rocks. We need to win. See you next week.
