Amy Earnhardt and Dale Earnhardt Jr. are back for another episode of Bless Your ‘Hardt. On today’s show, Amy and Dale unveil their new “Cocktail of the Day” presented by High Rock Vodka, and debate the nation’s hottest topic: is time travel real? Which naturally leads to a conversation about Bigfoot and aliens. Dale recaps his day spent with Cleetus McFarland in Talladega, which includes him driving the Dale truck. Finally, we close out the show with an extended version of #AskAmy, covering everything from Easter to Space to why 2000 crickets lived in Dale’s best friend’s bedroom for months.

Bless your heart. Oh yeah. This is the way it's going to be, girl. We're going to hang out.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Oh, you look amazing. I can stare at you today. Are you kidding?
Amy Earnhardt
I couldn't believe it. What's going on? The world is not your trash can.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I slept till 2. Smoking cigarettes and drinking AMP Energy.
Amy Earnhardt
Lord have mercy. We have our new cocktail of the week presented by High Rock. What are we drinking? Ralph, do you, do you see our sweet little treat here?
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah. We're drinking a High Rock chocolate espresso martini.
Amy Earnhardt
Yes. So we.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
So this is a rather cold chocolate bunny. You knocked the ears off of it.
Amy Earnhardt
It looks like it's gotten gotten in a scuffle.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
You knocked the ears off of it and put your drink in there.
Amy Earnhardt
Yes. So the drink is inside the hollowed out bunny and in light of Easter, I felt like this was nice and festive.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
So the.
Amy Earnhardt
Ooh, it's delish.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Is it? So the how you make this thing that's going to be in the description.
Amy Earnhardt
Yeah. We'll put the recipe and all the things in our story, so you guys can check that out later. But High rock espresso chocolate martini.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
That's weird.
Amy Earnhardt
It's weird.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
The drink's good. The metal straw is weird.
Amy Earnhardt
Oh. Oh, goodness. You and metal.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah.
Amy Earnhardt
Is it a jewelry straw?
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
It's a metal straw. But I went to.
Amy Earnhardt
It's pretty.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah. So when. When I have an ick, I know where.
Amy Earnhardt
I know what you're going to say I went.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
We go. When you go to the local sushi joint or whatever. For all my life, they gave us this wooden chopsticks. And now they're trying to give you these little plastic ones and metal ones that they reuse. And I'm like, wait a minute now. I don't want to use somebody else's chopsticks. I've been using the wooden ones. The one, you know, one used throw away. But they've gotten into, you know, give. Giving you these plastic ones and stuff. And I'm like, oh, man, I don't like that.
Amy Earnhardt
Well, the ick started when you went to South Korea.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I went to South Korea for the Olympics. And we went into this place to get this real serious experience, right? The genuine, authentic experience. They plopped down beside us an entire tray of metal chopsticks. There were probably a hundred in there. And I was like, all right, this is ch. It changed my life in a. For the worse. Some things, like make some things you experience. You're like, man, that was awesome. I'll never. I got a great perspective. This. This gave me a bad perspective. And I'm hesitant to share because I don't want to spread this to other people.
Amy Earnhardt
It's too late. You got to share.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
So I'm looking at that box of little tray of metal utensils, and I'm like, hundreds and hundreds of people. Hundreds of people have used every one of those, and I do not want to use them. I want the wooden pull out of the paper bag, break in half, use and throw away. I want the wooden chopsticks. I've been doing this all my life already. This thing I don't like, I already been doing it with silverware.
Amy Earnhardt
Yeah.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Forks, spoons, glasses. Everywhere I went, plates. I've been doing this. And now everywhere I go and have her, you know, we sit down to eat. I can't not look at that little wrapped up, neat piece of silverware, fork, spoon, and knife wrapped up in that little towel on the table and go, where's them dirty sewing guns been?
Amy Earnhardt
Here's the thing. They're not dirty. They've been sterilized and clean.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Well, then I go. Then my mind. So, right. My mind goes to. Did they really do a good job cleaning them? Did the person back there that's, you know, putting them things through the hot water that's necessary to kill any germs and bacteria do that, or did they rush it? You know, and so, you know, that's how I spiral out of control.
Amy Earnhardt
And so this is what happens when you sit down with Dale and he's at the dinner table at a restaurant and he's not got his phone out or anything. And all of a sudden he just gets really quiet, and you're like, he's mulling over something. And this is like the type of thing he's mulling over is who else's mouth has this been in? And he. Then he can't eat.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
He can't. So. And it's. And I.
Amy Earnhardt
But I've been doing shame for you. I hate that for you.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I'd been doing all my life eating. Eating silverware in different restaurants and not thinking nothing of it. And I was. I was unbothered until they threw those damn boxes. They threw that box of metal chopsticks in front of me, and it just unlocked this.
Amy Earnhardt
It rattled.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Pit of misery.
Amy Earnhardt
Yeah.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
And I was like, oh, no. And now I can't not think about it. And so I know that probably no one's used that straw. This straw, probably brand new.
Amy Earnhardt
This is just for you.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Now I'm. I mean, if you went to a store and got a drink and they put a metal straw in there and you're like, now drinking out of the same straw some Billy Bob used yesterday.
Amy Earnhardt
Well, straws are harder to clean than silverware, so. You do have a point. But I don't know. Metal straws are nice. The. The glass straws are hard for me, too. And, you know, usually when it's not a paper straw, it's way bigger. This one's a normal size, so that's good.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I'm going to complain a lot on this show, so I think people are figuring that out.
Amy Earnhardt
Oh, not just today, but every single time you sit here.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah. I can't not. I can't just sit down and have. Have a good time.
Amy Earnhardt
This is Dale Jr. Soapbox. That's what we should have called the show.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Sorry. Yeah, we got a good show today. So High rock. You'll see in the background right there. High Rock. We need to move the table because the. The thing. We don't want you to move your. Your mic.
Amy Earnhardt
I can move no, listen. No, no, you can't move the lady's leg around.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
We'll need to slide the table a little bit. But we want them high rock bottles right behind you.
Amy Earnhardt
I gotta come this way.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Come toward you.
Amy Earnhardt
I think we got the wheels locked up, but it's fine.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Okay, you're doing it. So you see the high rock bottles, the beautiful vase and the, and the, the green greenery, whatever that is. What are those? Where do they come from?
Amy Earnhardt
They're four year. I just pulled them out of the vase.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
They were in our four year out there. They're fake.
Amy Earnhardt
They were in our house.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Oh, in our house. Is it a specific type of flower? Not flower.
Amy Earnhardt
Elephant ear palms.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Elephant ear palms. So I just wanted to know some.
Amy Earnhardt
Home goods situation I picked up at some point in our life.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I just wanted to sound smart. Look, look at that high rock now right there in the, in the shot with you. Beautiful.
Amy Earnhardt
Now it's not turned the right way.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Well, it's when we're in the big screen, when we're on the big camera. Oh my gosh. So there we go. Hey, you're doing it.
Amy Earnhardt
Is that better?
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah. We got the high rock. We got the orange cream. We've got our drinks. We're going to do this every show, right?
Amy Earnhardt
Yes. We're going to have a drink of the week every show. High Rock is now one of our new sponsors and we're so excited about that. Of course, you guys know we are very proud of our hi Rock. If you want to check out hi Rock and find it near you, go to highrock.com and it'll show you what stores are available. And also remember, you must be 21 and you must drink responsibly through highrock vodka dot com.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Highrock vodka dot com. You can find out where it's located. But you can also, in some situations, some scenarios, some states order a bottle straight to your front door.
Amy Earnhardt
Yes, of course, every state's a little different. So get online and check that out.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
People are asking us all the time. We're trying to get it everywhere. And it's funny, it's in these little pockets all across the country. I just went to Cordeal to race my late model this past weekend and went to a couple stores, went to a store down the street from the track and signed about three cases. We'll move on to what's up in life. New segment called what's up? I'm just kidding. We're not, we're not doing that. But that's what it says right here. What's up? Life updates. So me and Amy, we. She has a bag of receipts on the floor. We're gonna get to that in a minute.
Amy Earnhardt
Yeah, we'll get to that.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
So funny. Gosh, it's so funny. And this is gonna be. This is gonna drag.
Amy Earnhardt
Should I just get into that?
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah, it's the best thing going. I think we should save it.
Amy Earnhardt
Why calls.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
It's funny. Want to end on a good note. It's hilarious. I think we should try to get into time travel, our time travel discussion.
Amy Earnhardt
Really?
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yes.
Amy Earnhardt
All right, so listen, if this is.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Not any good, we're cutting it out. So if you're hearing it, it must have been good.
Amy Earnhardt
We're sitting on the couch, I'm looking at my phone, and the kids have gone to bed already. We've had a couple of high rock cocktails, and I see this Joe Rogan clip come up about. He's interviewing someone, and I forget who it was, but there's a book that was written in 1900, legitimately, this book exists, and it tells a story about basically predicting the future of Trump or Barron. Actually, Barron Trump is the last president. And I don't have the details because I didn't get the book. I didn't really want to go down that rabbit hole, but it basically kind of foreshadows all the things that are currently happening and might happen in the future with Baron. And so I'm like, this is really weird. How can someone possibly know that? Do you think that time travel is real? Do you think that this person actually traveled through time and wrote the book? Kind of like Back to the Future with the almanac, you know, like, is it possible that that's real? And Dale Jr looks over at me and goes, how can time travel not be real, Amy? And I looked at. I'm like, wait, what? And that's all he told me. There was nothing else. And so I want an explanation as to how he has just so adamantly come to that conclusion and could just drop that bomb like that and then just, you know, leave it. Please explain.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Well, I don't have, like, hard evidence, but you make a great point.
Amy Earnhardt
Well, no one does. There's so many theories about things that you feel like could really plausibly be real, but there's no real evidence.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
The way I feel about it is. So there are a lot of scenarios kind of like this book, right, that you're talking about. There's a lot of things that will. That'll kind of pop up. And in pop culture conversation about time Travel and there's been sitcoms and shows about it. And so, you know, it's. Time travel has kind of always been just like back to the future, right. It's always been this, this mystery and this, this thing that we all wonder about.
Amy Earnhardt
What I wonder is who said it first?
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah. So my, my feeling is, is that it's more than that. I don't, I would say that if I had to guess, it is absolutely more than likely real. Like, it's more, I would say that it's, it's more likely that time travel is possible and that there are, you know, so you got to think about, like in, about, you know, there's a, there's a there.
Amy Earnhardt
It's just so hard for me to believe that someone who doesn't like metal chopsticks can believe that time travel is real. They got us that go together.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
There's some, there are some things that are missing to convince me that time travel is real. Right. If time travel was real, we're humans, we're imperfect, we're, we're, we screw up, somebody would slip up somehow. If time travel was real some way, somehow it would, there would be a folly of sorts that would provide us all like the context of, oh crap, it is real. Right. And so, but please keep going.
Amy Earnhardt
That makes me feel like, I got a hard question for you.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
So that makes me, that makes me doubt time travel because there isn't any real hard evidence. It just feels like if it was real, there would be hard evidence. But I also know that like, I don't know how far into the future the human race goes. I imagine every several million years there's like a turnover of. Just like the dinosaurs, right. The dinosaurs are roaming the earth. Something happens, you know, meteor, whatever. Dinosaurs are gone. There is got to be an endpoint for us as humans or there's a trend or there's something that happens out there in the future millions of years down the road.
Amy Earnhardt
So here's my.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
So there's this long Runway, right, of technology and long run way of studying and developing and learning and processing. And there has to be there. I would, I would assume the chances are really high that the discovery of how time travel could work happens in the, in the span of the human race. Right. And it's in its entire existence on this planet. And so I would have moved. I would imagine that it's likely we eventually colonize another planet or. Right. I mean, why wouldn't we? Why? And, and certainly that technology will be developed to do such a thing. It Sounds crazy.
Amy Earnhardt
It sounds like you've been watching too many YouTube videos.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I just have open mind, and I have a. I'm the kind of person that believes everyone is good. Right. Until you prove otherwise, I'm not guard. I don't walk around guarded going, well, everyone I meet might be an. I walk around going, everyone I meet is a really good person unless they prove otherwise. Give me some hard evidence that you're a jerk. And so I think about life and technology and discovery the same way. Why can't. Why wouldn't it happen? Why, certainly it might happen.
Amy Earnhardt
Listen, I want it to be real. I want time travel to be real. I want Bigfoot to be real. I want aliens to be real. I want the fact that we may or may not have landed on the moon. I want that to be real. Like, there's so many things. Oh, you think Bigfoot is real? I get Bigfoot things in my phone all the time.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I would say I'm not feeling confident on Bigfoot.
Amy Earnhardt
Well, time travel is more elusive than Bigfoot. I got Bigfoot videos in my phone. There's no time travel evidence at all.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
There is. There's the hint, right. There's no hard evidence, but there's the hint that time travel could be possible.
Amy Earnhardt
And what, do you think that the aliens are the only ones that can time travel?
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Well, that's another thing.
Amy Earnhardt
So, like, if going back to you saying, we're humans, we screw up, that's a whole nother. Give it up.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
The alien thing is a whole nother conversation. So for most of my life, aliens were a pop culture sort of. For most of my life, my point of view, looking out into the world and the conversation around extraterrestrials and aliens, it was. It was. It was stuff for. It was sensationalized or. Or, like, stuff for movies. And, you know, there was this thing back in the day. I forget that radio. That thing that happened on the radio in the 50s or whatever it was, that everybody thought it was real. Right? Back before television, they had this radio broadcast. Everybody would sit down at night and listen to the radio, and they had this one radio broadcast where they faked. And an alien encounter or landing or some sort of crash or something that happened, and it really kind of got off the rails because everybody thought it was real. All right? Everybody that's at home listening to this is going, wow, this is really happening. Well, it was a hoax, and it was a. It was meant to be a hoax by the. By the radio broadcast.
Mike Davis
Orson Welles is the guy, right? Yep.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
And. And so that right there. That right there spawned this sort of fascination. Right. That was one major thing that spawned the fascination. Then you see, you know, the purported drawings on caves and stuff where, you know, these ancient.
Amy Earnhardt
Like, hieroglyphs just.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah. These ancient societies and so forth are. You could decipher, looking at these drawings on these. On, you know, of some of this stuff that they would discover from hundreds of, you know, thousands of years ago, where there's like, oh, well, that looks like a spaceship or that looks, you know, you could interpret it to be whatever you want. You know. Whatever you want.
Amy Earnhardt
Yeah.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
And so all of that just adds to the mystery. Well, now, you know, and then Tom DeLonge, you know, from Blink 182. Right.
Amy Earnhardt
Well, there's so many people, too, that say that they were abducted or they've got this, like, memory or this wild. What imagine, what you would imagine is a dream.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
You have all that going on.
Amy Earnhardt
We watched something recently about that. Like a person, I don't know if they were in the park or they were with their friends, and all of a sudden they are back in this space, but time has shifted. They are not in the same time that they were. It's been years. Years have passed. They imagined that they had this whole life that they didn't actually have, or vice versa.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah, yeah.
Amy Earnhardt
And they, like, written these stories down like they really happened these.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah, there's a lot of people out there that have had these encounters and so forth, or purported weird. Say that these things have happened. Right, sure. So that. That's all been going on for decades and decades and decades. Right. And just kind of fill in the bucket of. Of mystery. And then I think in the last probably five years, it's super ramped up. Right. There's been this, you know, even the government has sort of went towards, like. Yep. There's a lot of. There's a lot of unidentified experiences and happenings. And there's. There's military pilots and so forth coming forward and saying, well, I experienced this.
Amy Earnhardt
I can't explain credible people.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Right. But they're like, they're not saying, I saw an alien.
Amy Earnhardt
Nope, that's true.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
They're just saying I saw something I can't explain. Right. That's all we have.
Amy Earnhardt
I totally agree. I'm not trying to say, like, we have a hard evidence. That's the whole point of this.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
And so, like, this is exactly just like time travel. If we are sitting here on this rock, spinning through the universe and all of this around us has developed out of off of Our hands and our creativity and we sprung out of the Earth to become what we see today. And if the universe is infinite and there are thousands and thousands of solar systems similar to ours, where there are probably more than likely thousands of bodies of planetary bodies and so forth that are spinning within the, the inhabitable zone, right, of, of oxygen and temperature and water and all of those things, how is it, I mean, the likelihood that there is another planet with life on it is through the roof.
Amy Earnhardt
Through the roof.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
And so if that's true, which I believe it is, then there's likely the possibility that one of those planets has a being on it that is more complex or more advanced than ours, or been around longer than ours to develop the technology that have developed or more than the technology that we have developed. It's absolutely possible and likely we keep.
Amy Earnhardt
Going back to the aliens over the time travel thing.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
If that is possible. That crazy idea that there are other beings on other planets is real, like is a likelihood. It is a likelihood. Now, could they travel here? I don't know. Can, can.
Amy Earnhardt
We can't travel there because we're dummies.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Well, we're a bunch of dummies. They may be just. They may be just like us, just kind of, you know, stringing it along day to day.
Amy Earnhardt
My pea brain is too small to figure out how to even wrap my head around those possibilities. So I know there's smarter people than me on the planet. I'm just saying don't think that it's that possible.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I would. If I have to be open minded to like a thing like tram travel. If. Because I believe that. I believe that, you know, just. There's no way.
Amy Earnhardt
You think it's like a black hole.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
There's no. I don't even know. I don't know what a black hole is.
Amy Earnhardt
Do you think you touch a stone and do it like they did on the Outlander?
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I'm just saying, like if, if, if. If the universe is space and all that is infinite, if it goes on forever. There are absolutely other planets. I want someone where something has sprouted out of the ground. Plant life or. I'm just. No, I'm just saying plant life and, and fish and. Or whatever, right? Or, you know, organisms. Manuals. Yeah, whatever. They, they. And it's likely that it looks nothing, nothing like this. Anything we would recognize.
Amy Earnhardt
It can't be the same, right?
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
It would be weird. It would. But it's there. It's got to be there. Why would it not be there? I mean, we are here.
Amy Earnhardt
If someone's listening and they have any experiences or knowledge. Please, please, please put it in the comments.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I am, I don't want to know.
Amy Earnhardt
Absolutely dying to hear also. Okay. If you could travel in time, where would you go? You get one moment and you get to be there for 24 hours and that's it.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Oh, 1979 Daytona 500.
Amy Earnhardt
All right, tell me about.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Where would you time travel? The people want to know.
Amy Earnhardt
I want to go to the 69 comeback special and watch Elvis.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yes. I love that.
Amy Earnhardt
Yeah.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
All right, so that, that's a great one. I would have loved to have seen Elvis.
Amy Earnhardt
And to your point, I can see that on tv. I mean, I watch that. I would have over and over.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah, Elvis in Vegas. Like one of the really, really good nights.
Amy Earnhardt
Dude, mine's empty already.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah, I'm close. I was trying not to drink too fast and get.
Amy Earnhardt
Gettin it all over me. It's a sloppy drink. Yeah, maybe I'm just sloppy. Yes. Keep going, Elvis.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yep.
Amy Earnhardt

Amy Earnhardt
Elvis, Elvis.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Elvis. So that's a joke in racing. So if you drive really deep into the corner and you say you go out and you qualify. Tony Jr. Used to say this all the time.
Amy Earnhardt
He saw lots of funny things.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Tony Jr. He'd be like, all right, man, we're getting ready to qualify. I want you to go out there and you drive her down in the corner till you see Elvis.
Amy Earnhardt
I love that.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
That's awesome.
Amy Earnhardt
I've never heard that.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
He's like, drive it down in the corner till you see Elvis.

McMuffin with an iced coffee from somewhere else, now is a great time to reconsider. In the Pacific Northwest, it's never too cold for an iced coffee in the morning. Grab yourself a medium caramel, French vanilla or classic iced coffee for just 2.29. Warning beverage may cause craving for McMuffin or hash browns. Prices and participation may vary. Cannot be combined with any other offer or combo meal.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yesterday. So this video comes out tomorrow. If you're listening to this show on a third on Thursday, as we're recording it, this video comes out. I went to hang out with Cletus McFarlane and I drove the Dale truck and I ran.
Amy Earnhardt
You were in Dega?
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yes, we went to Talladega and, and he, he let me take the Dale truck for a, for a pass, as they say in drag racing. So I have a couple things to say about this. Tony Stewart won an NHRA drag race this past weekend. I saw that and I'm sorry for hijacking your show. I'm talking a lot. I feel like I'm talking too much.
Amy Earnhardt
You never stop talking when you start drinking, ever so.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Well, that's why I'm fun. I'm fun when I drink.
Amy Earnhardt
As long as you let somebody talk to you. So he's like, I didn't finish my thought. I'm like, we're looping, we're looping, we're looping, we're looping.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Tony Stewart. Tony Stewart left dirt and paved oval racing to go drag racing. And I was sad. I love Tony Stewart. He has got a heart of gold.
Amy Earnhardt
Well, he married a drag racer. I know, right, that he tried it out.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I know. And I was. But I'm, I'm like, come back to the ovals. We need you. And so, you know, that's just my, my nostalgia.
Amy Earnhardt
And, well, Tony's a little bit of a rebel without, you know, just likes to be doing what he wants to do this.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Dude went and won. Won a drag race in the nhra, like, at the top of the game. I thought it was cool, but I. I did not really appreciate it for exactly what it was.
Amy Earnhardt
Yeah.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Because I don't know what it feels like to go 320 miles an hour, so.
Amy Earnhardt
I do. In an airplane.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Well, yeah, like. But you're still.
Amy Earnhardt
You know what I'm saying? You can't really feel it.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
So anyways, I got. I went to Talladega and I got in the. The Dale truck, and Cletus is like, hey, man, you're gonna do a burnout. This is how you do it. You can watch this video on Cletus's channel. It's so much fun. We go to Talladega, I give him a little bit of a history lesson. We're gonna have some content as well. Coming out on our Dirty Mo Media stuff with Cletus where we talk about it. And so. Yeah. What do you like when you drink?
Amy Earnhardt
I definitely don't start doing the robot when I get.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
You make fun of everyone. So anyways. All right. Anyways, I drive the Dell truck. All right, fine. Let's move on.
Amy Earnhardt
No, tell us. Okay, well, let me do it. Here's what you should. He was like. He showed me the video. I'm just. I'll just keep talking.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I don't want to say too much.
Amy Earnhardt
I know. So I'm giving you my perspective. You're going to already talk about it like a race car driver.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I need to take a break.
Amy Earnhardt
He showed me the video. The look on his face was like a kid in a candy shop. He was so excited. First of all, so was Cletus. He was at Dago. They let him have, like, full reign of the whole campus. He's in, like, the check booth or the check in booth and just having so much fun. He, too, was, like, fulfilling a childhood dream. And they get to take the truck out, which he has decaled and painted to look like the good wrench car. And Dale gets in it for the first time, not knowing what the hell to do, and does a sick burnout and too much, actually, apparently. I didn't know there was such a thing, but there's, like, all these rules. And so watching Dale do that was just so fun. He texted me when he was on his way back, and he's like, that was, like, way bigger and more epic than I thought it would be. I was like, were you scared? He's like, a little bit. I was like, but you haven't felt that in a really long time, like handling something and actually being a little nervous about it. So from that point of view, it was pretty cool.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Y'all have to watch all the content that comes out. Dirty Mo Media, Cletus McFarlane. And I don't want to spoil it, but, man, it was. It. It was so insane to. To launch that truck. You're sitting there kind of holding the. Holding the. I forget what he calls it, but I would call it the line lock. And so you got this little button on the steering wheel, and you've mashed the gas wide open. It's got twin turbos. It starts, those start spinning up, and that thing gets ready to launch, and he's standing over there and he'll let you know, like, all right, man, let off the button. And when you release that button, it.
Amy Earnhardt
Is shoot out of a gun.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
So when you get on a. Have you ever been on the roller coasters that like, take off. Take off from a stand and then.
Amy Earnhardt
They go up to their thing?
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
It's exactly like that, but multiplied many times in terms of speed and you're.
Amy Earnhardt
In control of it. Right.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
The first time.
Amy Earnhardt
So, like, that makes the whole experience totally different.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
The first time I. I did two runs because the first run, as soon as I let off the button, my whole body, like, went back in the seat and my foot literally came up off the floorboard. Cuz you got to. The gas pedal's up on the firewall, so you got to lift your foot and then mash it. And so your foot's kind of like this.
Amy Earnhardt
You're going against gravity and all the things.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
It took off and all of me went into the back of the truck and my foot come off the gas pedal. And then I had to mash it again. And it. And that unspooled the. The turbos. So I had to he come over these like, oh, something happened to the truck. It didn't run right. I'm like, no, that was me. I lifted off the gas. He's like, oh, you shouldn't lift. Don't live. Don't be a chicken. And so I had to run again. But then I realized I needed to really be more aggressive. Yeah. Be more intentional about the gas pedal because it is. You go from. It's an eighth mile. And I know there are faster things, so don't. You don't have to fill out the comments with this is faster. Do this. So in an eighth mile, it went from zero to 140 miles an hour.
Amy Earnhardt
Yeah.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
And I've never Been in anything that accelerated that quickly ever. And it just. The first.
Amy Earnhardt
You control of it.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah. The first run, it made me. It was like a jump scare. Like when you're walking through the woods, haunted woods, and somebody comes out with.
Amy Earnhardt
A chainsaw and Bigfoot comes out.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah. And you're like. So, like, the first time I let off that button, it jump scared me. And I was like, you know, and, yeah, it was crazy. I'm serious. I mean. And so my immediate thought was I was excited and happy and thrilled and wanted to try it again. But as I. Ten minutes later, I'm sitting there going, tony Stewart.
Amy Earnhardt
Yes. He's a baddie.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Holy shit. Yeah, he went 300. Like, how this guy, you know, he's. I've had a lot of the same experiences he's had in a race car, and now he learned to drive a dragster and be one of the best at it. Like, he won that race. So, I mean, he's. He's now accomplished. He can go out there and beat some of the best guys that are best at that. I was. It made me really, really.
Amy Earnhardt
Sometimes you go through experiences like this to have that revelation. Right.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Well, I'm a. I'm a selfish guy at times, and I'm like, gosh darn it, Tony Stewart get back in a race car. I want him in the ovals. I want to watch him race and wreck somebody and run hard and go. Go bumper to bumper. And I want him with fenders and banging doors. I miss that.
Amy Earnhardt
Well, he probably wants you to come race a drag car now.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah. And I'm like, man, what are you doing with them drag cars? And now I get it.
Amy Earnhardt
Yeah, it's. I mean, I can imagine how fun it is watching the video. It looked like a really awesome time.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Now I'm, like, even more eager, impressed by what he did.
Amy Earnhardt
Well, I did ask you yesterday.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
140 felt crazy.
Amy Earnhardt
Yeah.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
He went twice as fast.
Amy Earnhardt
That's bonkers. If you had the opportunity to try it, would you. You're not doing it.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Well, I don't.
Amy Earnhardt
It was fun for me to watch you learn something new like that, especially in racing, because I, of course, wouldn't have that opportunity otherwise.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I ran that truck twice. I've never drag raced in my life. Ever.
Amy Earnhardt
You've ran that truck twice. Oh, a truck.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I ran that truck twice that day. Two passes. The first one was. Was a joke. I was awful. The second one, I was a little better still. At the end of the. At the end of the eighth mile, there's A bump. A big bump on the back stretch. So back straight away at Talladega's. Rough. Rough as hell. And so when I went over that bump, my foot. My foot bounced off the floorboard. Yeah, it's hard to keep it wide open because you're going so fast. It's trying to throw you in the back of the truck. And so he's like, oh, man, now it's time to get in something faster. I'm like, I ain't even figured this out yet. Like, I've not mastered this. And he had the boost down, so, I mean, that truck will go even faster.
Amy Earnhardt
How fast does it go?
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I don't know, but he. He sees, like, I can turn the boost up and make it go quicker.
Amy Earnhardt
Yeah, I saw that.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
And so I'm like, hey, hold up. Pump the brakes. I'm not. You know, they're like, getting a Corvette. Chicken Foot wants out run 220 in the Corvette. I'm like, wait a minute. You know, just.
Amy Earnhardt
They had a Corvette there, too.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
No, but they're telling me, like, well, we can get you in something faster. I'm like, I want to go home. I want to get this right. I want to get this right. And then. Then maybe baby steps.
Amy Earnhardt
Yeah. But right now, let's see. Can I go home?
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah.
Amy Earnhardt
I love that you did it.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
It's fun.
Amy Earnhardt
I want to watch Tony race. We went and watched the.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
We got an invite. We did get an invite to go watch Tony race, but we did. It's next.
Amy Earnhardt
Are you racing here?
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
They're coming to Charlotte next weekend, but it's. But I'm going to the Cars Tour race at Orange county, and you're. And then we're going to Vegas for High Rock.
Amy Earnhardt
Oh, okay.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
So it's a weekend's full, so we can't. But we need to go. And we need to go somewhere besides Charlotte or where. We need to go see them at a different racetrack somewhere else.
Amy Earnhardt
We took Isla once, didn't we? No, you took me. I took you to watch John Force. Yes.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
And Ron Capps. And every member standing on me. And you stood on. At the tree with Ron Capps. One of you stood on the tree with one of the most decorated drag racers in the history of the sport. And I remember the greatest thing about it was, obviously, we're standing there. They get up to the tree. When they launched, I had been there before, so I kind of knew the feeling inside. And I was watching you. I knew.
Amy Earnhardt
I was like, man, the amount of energy and vibration that runs through your Body is crazy. Like, you can't compare it to anything else.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I would. I've never done this, but I bet you it's when you watch a. You know when you watch Elon or NASA launch one of them rockets.
Amy Earnhardt
Yeah.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
It'd be like standing at the base of that thing when it.
Amy Earnhardt
When it fired off maybe, like a mile away from a rocket ship.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
It's literally a rocket launching down a drag strip.
Amy Earnhardt
Damn.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I mean, stat. You know, a couple thousand horsepower.
Amy Earnhardt
It's crazy.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah. It shakes your body.
Amy Earnhardt
Yeah.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
And I watched your body, and we were standing there, and Amy goes, oh, yeah.
Amy Earnhardt
You know, and the second time, I was very excited.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I think I have it on video in my phone.
Amy Earnhardt
I think you do. Yeah.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
It was awesome. I was like, hell, yeah, it was. I. You know, I don't know anything that can get her that excited, so that was fun to watch.
Amy Earnhardt
Well, this excited me the other day. Can I.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Damn. I teed you right up for some.
Amy Earnhardt
Okay, okay. Ego. Settle down. Eat your bunny. I have a bag that I want to pull out, and this is a bag that sits on our countertop. We collect receipts. We keep our receipts. And please get a shot of him eating the bunny. He ate its face off.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
What the hell?
Amy Earnhardt
Damn bath salts. All right, so here's the thing. This. This sits on our countertop. It's full as It's. This is. We've neglected sending these in, so this is, like, a lot of pile up. But I'm putting some bills in here. The other day I had some, you know, pediatric receipts to put in here. Like, the kids went to the doctor's office, blah, blah, blah. And I see all these little wadded up pieces of paper in here. This is not how we file receipts. And I'm like, well, I didn't do that. Of course I didn't do that. Who else would have done that? Dale Earnhardt Jr. Receipt wads the first one I pulled out. You're gonna like this. Tim's. Cause you were there. It's from cvs, and I look, and it's from Duvall street in Key west, and it was wadded up, like, as small as it could possibly be. This is what he bought. What time are we at, too? Can I find the time? Can I find the time? Nope. I know it was after you guys had had dinner, but he was going back to the hotel, and so he stopped to get himself some Ben and Jerry's cookie dough ice cream, a Fiji water nerds gummy clusters, and a 24 pack of cutlery.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Wow.
Amy Earnhardt
So he could eat his ice cream.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Wow.
Amy Earnhardt
And instead of just properly folding it, he watered it up just so that nobody saw it, including himself.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
He just needed one spoon. I'm like, where am I gonna get one spoon?
Amy Earnhardt
You know, the hotel. This more likely has a silver spoon to send to your room.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I'd been drinking bottles so that you.
Amy Earnhardt
Could eat bonbons in your bed for 10 hours.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I wasn't going to ask for a.
Amy Earnhardt
Spoon, but every one of the receipts from Key west came in, like, wadded up, folded up. I'm like, this is absolute friends restaurant. I saw y'all had mimosas.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah, I did.
Amy Earnhardt
Yeah.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Let's go back.
Amy Earnhardt
Don't be sad.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I want to go back.
Amy Earnhardt
I. I want to go. Let's go.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
No, you don't.
Amy Earnhardt
I want to go for a day. Y'all want it for way too long. I don't have as much stamina.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
We tried.
Amy Earnhardt
You guys do.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
We tried to do three full days. It's a two full day thing.
Mike Davis
Yeah, I agree.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Something that I wanted to mention. This isn't really a story, but I just wanted to say that since we started doing the show, I feel like we've done like four or five episodes. This is number 10. Or nine.
Amy Earnhardt
This is 10.
Mike Davis
This is 10.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah. I. I've been doing the Dale Jr. Download for years, interviews with a lot of great people, and we've had some really great feedback from those interviews. We had Edwin. Edwin McCain this week, one of my favorite interviews. And he's not a racer. He's not your typical guest on the show. And I know that sometimes that kind of makes things a little squirrely for some of our listeners when we bring somebody in that's not a racer. Racer. But damn, it was a good interview.
Amy Earnhardt
He's such a good guy.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I. I know I have been blown away by the amount of people I went to Cordeal and Race the Late Model, and all the people that came up to me to talk about Dirty Mo Media or the podcast mentioned. Bless your heart, Amy, was. Where were you yesterday?
Amy Earnhardt
I went to the post office yesterday to mail out something, and I literally scurried out. No makeup on. I put a dress on just so I look like I did something yesterday to myself. And this sweet lady came up to me and said, my husband and I listen to your show. I think it's so much fun. You guys are a riot, and you just never know who really who's listening. Like I said, I feel like we're just sitting here chit chatting with ourselves, but nobody I Don't know who's really paying attention. So it's really neat to hear all of the fun comments and. And see your comments and just get the compliments.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
If you're. If. If you're hesitant about coming up and, you know, if you see us out and about and you're hesitant about coming up, please don't be. The feedback that we're getting is giving us a lot of confidence and letting us know what you like about the show.
Amy Earnhardt
Dale's really struggling with his confidence.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
No, I'm just saying I appreciate the. Appreciate it. People always wonder, like, you know, I hear it from people all the time. They're like, oh, I don't want to bug you. Even Edmund McCain, he's like, yeah, I didn't want to bother you for 20 years. I'm like, I wish you would have. But, I mean, I. We. I am digging the hell out of all this great feedback that we're getting from Bless yous Heart. And I want this to succeed. I'm proud of you. I'm proud of what we're doing. We're having fun, and so I'm glad that people are enjoying it. I knew that we went into this going, man, I don't know if people will like the content.
Amy Earnhardt
I don't really know what I'm doing and what are we doing here, and let's just chit chat and see how it goes.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
And there's a female demographic out there that I think would enjoy the show. But I've really been impressed by how many guys my age that are already listening to DJD and all our other stuff are going, yeah, I like this show, too.
Amy Earnhardt
I think it's gives people some relationship relatability, you know what I mean? Because that's what I get the most, is y'all are just like us, or we talk about that too, or, you know what I mean? It makes their banter feel more normal.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
This past weekend, I had people walking up to me with their sunglasses in their shirts going, what's up?
Amy Earnhardt
Every time I do it now, I'm like, dale J.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
They'll walk up with their ears in their hats. How's it going?
Amy Earnhardt
Next time y'all see Dale, make sure you got a Mr. T starter kit on. A bunch of jewelry, some chains.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Had some people talk to me. Yesterday a guy, we were at Talladega yesterday. Yesterday, a guy's like, hey, man, I'm suffering from high crack. Glad you guys are raising awareness.
Amy Earnhardt
The comments about the crack was so good. I got so many dms about that. And I read them. I can't respond to all of them just because I physically can't do that. But I didn't know low crack was a thing.
Mike Davis
Me either. That was the new one too.
Amy Earnhardt
Yes. One of my good friends responded about that. And I'm like, oh, my gosh. The cracks are like. People pay attention to things, I just don't. And that was one of them. And I thought it was so fun.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
There's one more before we get to ask Amy. I guess we'll do that next. There's a note here about going out to eat. Don't order too much. So I have no idea what this is. This is what's fun. We make notes and Amy has some notes and I have some notes and I don't really know what it is and she might not know what I'm gonna talk about. Here we go.
Amy Earnhardt
Dale takes me to dinner the other night. Aunt Kelly wants to keep the girls. It's Tuesday night. Random. They have homeschool on Wednesday.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
So date night.
Amy Earnhardt
Random. Night of the week to have a date night. I'm like, take me to dinner. We go to dinner. I'm dressed, he's dressed. We sit down, I'm gonna order margarita or whatever. And he is so in his head about something, he can't figure out what he wants to drink. And then we get the menu. The waitress comes over and she's like, we've eaten at this place before. She's like, have you seen our new menu? And he's like, he's spun out now. Now there's a new menu. And now he can't just order what he's ordered before. And so we sit down and we're. I'm ordered. I've looked at the menu. I know exactly what I'm going to get. And he starts him hawing about what he's going to order, knowing that I'm going to order food too, because we can't order too much food. Like, we can't order. He wants a cup of chowder. They have a bowl of chowder, but he wants a cup of chowder because he's 50 and he doesn't want to overeat before he gets his meal. Meanwhile, we're eating at 5:30. We always eat at 5, 5:30. We're like, you know, when we started, it's been like that for a while. I was going to blame kids, but it's really not the kids fault. We eat early and we sit down.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
And get places, offer the option of the cup of chowder or The. Or the bowl. I said, hey, it's a appetizer.
Amy Earnhardt
I'm like, there's one price. It doesn't say cup or bowl.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Well, I'm like, hey, you get what you get. How big is the bowl? And she goes, it's big. And I'm like, well, I don't really want all that. I just kind of want a little bit, because I'm just gonna have a little for my main course. And she's.
Amy Earnhardt
She just looks at him like, what do you want me to do about that?
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
She's like, we don't do it, obviously, which is fine. I'm just saying my thought process wasn't really, truly out of line.
Amy Earnhardt
He asked her. He's like, can you just put it in a cup? And she was like, I don't think we can do. The chef back there has got the bowl he wants to put it in. That's what's gonna happen. And so I order an appetizer. This sweet girl comes back, and she's like, I'm so sorry, but we're out of what you want. And I was like, you know what? Don't worry about it. I'm gonna share his jar. That way we don't have too much food on the plate. And so he just gets wigged out. He's like, what are you gonna order for your main? What am I. Oh, I'm gonna order this. It's like, oh, oh, oh. I'm like, I just wanna taste everything. We're on a date. Why do we have to do this? In front of the waitress, no less. Just let me order food. So he likes to make it awkward everywhere we go, and he's been doing that since we had our first date. You know, restaurants are a source of anxiety for Dale, and it really showed on Tuesday night.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yes. We went out there, and, I don't know, I said, hey, where you want to go eat? She said, I want to go eat something healthy. I heard, I want to go eat a salad, but she meant, I just want to eat something good for me. And so when we sit down, we got chowder. Then Amy's ordering little tacos, and I ordered ceviche. Yeah, little ceviche tacos. And then she ordered her main course, and I ordered mine. And I'm like. I'm like, man, I thought we were gonna eat a salad.
Amy Earnhardt
No, I said, healthy. Like, I don't want to go.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I'm like, oh, I'm confused.
Amy Earnhardt
He was just all out of sorts. Tuesday afternoon.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I don't know.
Amy Earnhardt
Yeah, something Happened anyway.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Our date night.
Amy Earnhardt
It made date night interesting or what? It was par for the course.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Our date night was fine. But I can't get enough of one on one time with you.
Amy Earnhardt
I love that and I hope that never changes. We get home, though. This is in addition to the awkward, awkward restaurant thing. We get home and it's 7 o'clock and we are. The sun's not even set yet. We both put our sweats on. We get on the couch. We have nothing to really watch, so we find a documentary to watch, which. I want to know how it ends, by the way. But don't yet.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I won't. Wait, wait.
Amy Earnhardt
I lay on him.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Just like, tell about the documentary.
Amy Earnhardt
Oh, wait, wait.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I'm not gonna ruin it. I'm just gonna tell them. They're gonna go, well, what was the. The documentary?
Amy Earnhardt
30 minutes are gonna go by and.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Then the 30 minutes are gonna go by right now.
Amy Earnhardt
Yeah.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
The documentary is this guy hides a million dollar chest full of golden trinkets in the Smoky Mountains or the Rocky Mountains.
Amy Earnhardt
We don't know where he hides it. Don't tell everybody.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I'm not gonna. That's the documentary.
Amy Earnhardt
The documentary is he hides a 2 million dollar trench and people searched for.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
It for 10 million.
Amy Earnhardt
And he puts a poem out and a book and you have to decipher it.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah, people took 10 years to find it. Now, it was a good documentary. I watched it.
Amy Earnhardt
There were three episodes.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I watched all of it.
Amy Earnhardt
I fell asleep on dale within about 30 minutes. And so he was hoping I would just hang out and chit chat or.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Whatever, cuddle a little bit.
Amy Earnhardt
I got 12 solid hours of sleep and it was the best date night of my life.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Now I.
Amy Earnhardt
He pouted.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I did.
Amy Earnhardt
He pouted hard. I'm like, you're not gonna get mad at me for this.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I gotta. And I got up in the morning and I was like.
Amy Earnhardt
He rolled over and put the blanket on his face. Like, don't look at me. I peeled it back. I'm like, are you awake? And he goes, one of those.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I was so mad. I was like, man, we were supposed to hang out.
Amy Earnhardt
We did.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
And she slept through it all.
Amy Earnhardt

Oh, amazing.
Mike Davis
So congrats to Ethan. Our first question. We kind of talked about this earlier on the show, but Jennifer wants to know all those celebrities went to space this week.
Amy Earnhardt
Yes.
Mike Davis
And they would want. She wants to know if you guys would go to space or not.
Amy Earnhardt
No, no, I'm gonna leave that to the professionals.
Mike Davis
Yeah, well, I mean, Katy Perry. I don't know if she's a professional, but. No. Doesn't interest you at all.
Amy Earnhardt
So, gosh, how do I be polite about this?
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
You better be polite.
Mike Davis
Oh, no.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
That was the most ridiculous thing I ever seen. No, I'm sorry. That really kind of where you were.
Amy Earnhardt
Thank you. Thank you for taking the words and doing it for me. I don't know. I feel like some people just need too much attention, and that's what I felt about that.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
That was so.
Amy Earnhardt
Going into space surely was absolutely sensationally cool, but the reactions and all the things otherwise. I have seen interviews with actual astronauts where they were like, are you kidding me?
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah.
Amy Earnhardt
You know, like, you know, you just barely got in there and came right back out and you're blessing the ground.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
There was a.
Amy Earnhardt
Get out of here.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
It was just. It was. I guess it was. The timing wasn't all that great because they had those astronauts that were kind of stuck up there for all those months.
Mike Davis
Yeah, well, they had the space station. She was stuck with her for, like, nine months or whatever.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah, yeah. And so they go up there for, like, four minutes.
Amy Earnhardt
Yeah.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Come back down, get out and kiss the ground.
Mike Davis
I think it's like, oh, that was it.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
It's like, okay, all right.
Amy Earnhardt
Yeah.
Mike Davis
And she looked at the phone, or there was, like, a camera, like, the whole time, too, which was like, I'd look outside and see the universe. Like, that was a little.
Amy Earnhardt
Yes.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I don't know. It didn't do them any favors, but it was fun. Listen, now, to be clear, like, if they said, hey, you want to go, take. Take off and do that? If you wanted that experience, I would absolutely want it, but I would not want it to be publicized.
Amy Earnhardt
I wouldn't want it to look anything like that one.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
No.
Mike Davis
Yeah.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah.
Mike Davis
The other debate that's come out of that is, would you rather go to space or, like, depths of the ocean?
Amy Earnhardt
Ooh, depths of the ocean, Probably.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I say space.
Amy Earnhardt
Yin and yang. Here we are.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
You say ocean.
Mike Davis
I'd say space.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah, we was.
Mike Davis
I Think there's a stat. We discovered more about space than we have the depths of the ocean.
Amy Earnhardt
I know, but that's why I want to go to the ocean. I'm a little scared to get so far. And, like, what if I float off into the. Never. Never.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
You're claustrophobic as hell.
Amy Earnhardt
I'm not getting any other thing very easily.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Dude, if you got in that. If you got in something and went down even a couple thousand feet, you would freak out. And the fact is, you can't, like, just come out of there quickly. Like, your process of getting back to the surface is going to be a long one, and you're going to lose your.
Amy Earnhardt
So I'm not going. Dale is.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I think, you know, there.
Amy Earnhardt
There was a. I don't like being held down, so. Yeah, I probably wouldn't be.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
There was a.
Amy Earnhardt
There was into something taking off. Like a rocket?
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
No, there was an astronaut or someone that went up on the shuttle or something or went to the space station years ago. Long, long time ago. And they're. You know, there's all this conflict and tug of war and argument and frustration and just a bunch of unrest and so forth on Earth, right, where all these countries just can't all get along, and there's a lot of disagreement. And this astronaut went up and he said, man, when you go up there and you look back at Earth and you realize that we're all on that thing. So out of. It's out of control, right? It's out of our control. It's like. It's like. It really kind of puts it into perspective. There's no boundaries. There's no state lines or country borders and all that stuff. And you're just looking at it going, wow. And you're able to sit there and go look, looking down at all these people that are going, hey, you're not. You're wrong. You're wrong. You're wrong. And you're like, wow, all of y'all are wasting your time, right? Fighting over dumb. Just like, we're on this rock. Let's just figure it out. And so I would love that. I love that perspective.
Mike Davis
Yeah, that's interesting. Yeah, there's. I like those. The photos, too. Someone took a picture from space, and they're like, everybody in the universe but me is in.
Amy Earnhardt
This is in that weird flex.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I know. Sure.
Mike Davis
Our next question is from Sandra, and she wants to know Amy. She grew up going to a church every Sunday, twice on the holidays, and wants to know if your mom ever made you wear, like, a Hat or a bonnet for Easter Mass. Is that, like, a certain thing you do for church or something?
Amy Earnhardt
I grew up going to church every Sunday also. And mom would. I have two younger sisters, and mom would make us wear matching outfits, which has now become far more common, but she would even make our outfits. And so we have Easter photos in, like, these bloomery jumpsuits and permed short. I mean, we're talking, like, late 80s bobbed hair. There was a lot of. She put a lot of time and effort into these. So, like, we wore them, and we didn't say anything, but looking back, I mean, they were pretty wild. And there was one Christmas, too. We had Western Christmas printed clothes. I had, like, a wrap skirt, but it had, like, cowboy boots and Santa Claus with a hat on. You know, like, ridiculous. So we had a lot of stuff like that. And now I've. I don't know what it did. It imprinted on my mind, so I feel like I have to match my kids. And now my sisters and I, all the kids match, or they at least coordinate in their colors. Y'all's like, ugh, yeah, it's a lot. But if I don't do it, if I get Isla her own clothes and Nicole her own clothes for the same event, they're both like, but I want that one. And the other one's like, I want that one. And this is so. It does actually help mothers to do that. But I didn't have to wear a bonnet. I don't think, ever a hat or a bonnet, But I had some gnarly hairdos and some wild outfits to wear.
Mike Davis
Our bonnets. That thing that's, like that white.
Amy Earnhardt
Like, it's just like, more of, like, a cloth with, like, a brim that goes around your face and it ties under your neck.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
A Little House on the Prairie.
Amy Earnhardt
Yeah. Very prairie.
Mike Davis
Like, interesting. I never even heard of that. See, in the north, we just go to church. Whatever we're wearing doesn't matter. But.
Amy Earnhardt
Yeah. I don't think anybody really wore hats in my church. No, it wasn't. No. Everybody dressed like you got dressed? Yeah.
Mike Davis
Yeah. Interesting. Our next question is. Tom wants to know if the Easter Bunny is gonna be as generous as the tooth fairy this year.
Amy Earnhardt
The Easter bunny is even more generous.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Really?
Amy Earnhardt
Yeah. It's ridiculous. It's ridiculous. It's ridiculous. We do eastern nests in the yard. I talked about this. We pull the Spanish moss off the trees. The kids all make their, like, little nest in the yard, and they decorate it.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
This is Amy's Texas family.
Amy Earnhardt
Yes.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
These are hardworking Texas people. And I will say this. Amy's family does all of the holidays to the max.
Amy Earnhardt
It's like, it might be the last one. Let's just go for it. We love good time at a party and an event, and we love giving gifts. Could you say that's right?
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
We didn't do crap. We get a little basket from, you know, Target or Walmart and with some, you know, just a traditional thing right off the shelf. But Amy and her family, they get the Spanish moss off the trees and they make nests for the kids.
Amy Earnhardt
And the kids make the nest in the yard.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
We take. Yeah, the kids make the nest, and then we take the kids on a hayride to look for the Easter bunny. And while that's happening, the rest of the adults are filling those nests full of all kinds of fun, crazy toy, candy, snacks, all kinds of stuff. It's crazy.
Amy Earnhardt
It's amazing.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
It's crazy. It's good.
Amy Earnhardt
When we grew up, there was just three of us, Me and my two sisters. Dad didn't have any brothers and sisters, so we didn't really have any cousins. Mom had one brother who didn't have a son until, like, way later. So it wasn't that epic of an event. Like, it was still fun, but now there's a lot of kids. And so the yard is full of nests and it's chaos. And they. They get out of the car and immediately get their. They have their baskets. They go Easter egg hunt all around the yard, and then they sit at their nest and they open all their stuff. It's so much fun.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah, it's cool.
Mike Davis
Is the Easter egg hunt like the premiere event?
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah, pretty much like the kickoff. We'll go to church on Sunday, which is awesome.
Amy Earnhardt
Yeah. We do all this on Saturday, so it's just like fun day at the farm.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah. Church on Sundays in Victoria, Texas, at the local church and other the rest of the weekend, we're, you know, grilling, cooking, sitting around a campfire in chairs like this one and watching sports or just listening to music or sitting around.
Amy Earnhardt
Four wheeling, four wheel.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah. Kids are riding four wheelers. We'll go inside to the farmhouse and sit around the kitchen table and laugh.
Amy Earnhardt
Play dominoes at different games.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Chicken foot, all that stuff.
Amy Earnhardt
Nice.
Mike Davis
That's awesome.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
It's a blast.
Amy Earnhardt
It's so much fun.
Mike Davis
Does sound like a lot of fun. Next question. Also, Easter theme from Jessica. She wants to know if you ever dyed eggs with the girls for Easter. And if you did, how messy does it get?
Amy Earnhardt
I have. So I'VE watched all of the videos, and I did it with shaving cream. And you put the dye in the shaving cream with, like, the cupcake molds. And so each little thing has its own color, and they get their own dish. And so. And I always do that stuff outside. I mean, everything happens. Messy happens outside, but it's easier for them to see what they're doing, too. And they can make it swirly, and they have way more fun with that. I haven't done that this year.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
You know what I like about Easter eggs now that's come out? This used to. This didn't exist when I was young. Is where you put the egg on the thing, and it spins and you draw. Take it with Sharpie or a marker or something. And you can, you know, make it whatever color you want with a sharp.
Amy Earnhardt
I mean, we do have that little thing. So all the little plastic eggs, though, have been taken to, like, the playroom and used.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah.
Amy Earnhardt
To actually play with.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
So you can do real eggs on that.
Amy Earnhardt
I've never tried a real egg on that.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah, because it's white, and you can color any color you want.
Amy Earnhardt
Well, the egg in the game is hollow plastic, so it's real light. I don't know if a real one would work, but we could try.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah, I'm sure. I. I love that. I think it's easy.
Amy Earnhardt
I've seen so many fun things. I saw a thing the other day where somebody took old ties that they had gotten from a thrift store. You can do this with any fabric. And they put the vinegar water in the dish, but they had wrapped the egg up with this printed fabric and, like, it put the print all over the egg.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
You remember the old school deals that you slid over the egg and dropped it in hot water and it shrunk to it.
Mike Davis
Yes, yes.
Amy Earnhardt
Plastic shrink wrap. Yeah.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
And you're like, man, that's like the. That was kind of like the ghetto trailer park version.
Amy Earnhardt
That's like, everybody's tired. Let's just do this.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah, man, I've done that.
Amy Earnhardt
There's nothing wrong with solid color.
Mike Davis
Yeah, that was fun.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
No, I mean, yeah, that's what we had. Yeah.
Mike Davis
Lisa wants to know what's the best prank y'all have ever pulled on each other? Prank or in general? I guess you can go with.
Amy Earnhardt
I'm scared to pull pranks on him, to be real honest, because I've heard about the pranking between his buddy group.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah. Revenge is rough.
Amy Earnhardt
I'm worried about the revenge. Have I played a prank on you.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Ever I think you got me recently, I feel like. But I can't remember what happened.
Amy Earnhardt
I don't either. It must not have been very good. Yeah, they pranked each other. So here's how that played out. The only one I really. One of them got flowered. One of them had baby crickets release into their house and they were freaking everywhere for months and months and months.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Josh Snyder had like 2,000 crickets in this guy's bedroom.
Mike Davis
Damn. 2,000.
Amy Earnhardt
His best friend. Like they're good friends.
Mike Davis
How long did it take him to find them all?
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
They had to die.
Amy Earnhardt
They made it and created. They were.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Imagine what that night was like.
Amy Earnhardt
He was like, I fell asleep and.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I was like, you turn the light out and start rubbing them legs together.
Amy Earnhardt
Yeah. Oh my gosh. So no, I'm not really looking to do. To mess with all that.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Oh my gosh.
Amy Earnhardt
So he would do something gnarly.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah.
Amy Earnhardt
That would really hurt my feelings.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Oh my gosh. This one. Can I tell the one where they get the pregnancy test one?
Amy Earnhardt
Yeah.
Mike Davis
Oh boy.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
This makes me nauseous. So we would.
Amy Earnhardt
This had nothing to do with me.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
It was long before Amy. So we had, we had, we had a habit of getting drunk and whoever was still up at 4 in the morning or 3 in the morning, we would go to somebody's house and. And dump flour and a bucket of water on them or something. Right. And. And busting their house and getting their bedroom and. And. And just ruining their bed. Right. And. And we did that to a buddy of mine, Christopher. He will love this. He's a real estate agent these days. He used to work here in the. As a car chief and a mechanic in junior motorsports. But he got me back and it really put the skids on my pranking days. Oh no. He. I walked upstairs, I was dating this girl and I walked upstairs the bedroom in my house and there was a pregnancy positive pregnancy test on the counter. Oh boy. And I came downstairs and I was like, this is it? This is it? This is how you tell me? Like, you just leave? Yeah. I'm like, you leave it there. I was so floored and he was finally right. I learned what was going on. He had a friend that was pregnant and he got her to. To, to create the, the positive test.
Amy Earnhardt
She let him go on and on for a little bit. It was like finally she's like, okay, dumbass, it's a, it's a joke.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah. It's like a 6:12 hours.
Amy Earnhardt
That's enough of this 6 hour thing.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Of me like freaking out and going, oh, my gosh. What. What's going on?
Amy Earnhardt
Spiraling.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah. And he. Oh, man, it was so. That was so dirty. So wrong, wrong, wrong.
Amy Earnhardt
He got. He got you where it hurt. He knew exactly what to do.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Oh, yeah.
Mike Davis
So that put a halt to your pranking.
Amy Earnhardt
Yeah.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
It made me contemplate maybe I was getting out of hand on my pranking.
Amy Earnhardt
Getting out of hand just in general.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Should we tell we ruined his bedroom. We three or four of them busted in there and dumped a gallon of water on him and then threw a bag of flour.
Amy Earnhardt
Bags of flour. Like, pasted him up.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah. So his bedroom and his bed and everything was just destroyed. Couldn't even go back to sleep.
Amy Earnhardt
The crickets are the worst. That lasted forever.
Mike Davis
The crickets is.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Oh, my God.
Mike Davis
That's funny, though. Should we tell him the Mike Davis prank we pulled last week?
Amy Earnhardt
Oh, yeah. So last week, I had this card. I was gonna try to do it to Alex Timms, but we couldn't figure out how to put it in your space.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah, we're gonna do it to you.
Amy Earnhardt
Here in the studio while the show was running.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
But we knew you'd mess with it before we could get the cameras rolling and get the show started.
Mike Davis
Yeah, yeah. I'm down here early, so.
Amy Earnhardt
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Dale tried to get you out, and I couldn't get it out of my purse fast enough. So we saved it for Mike Davis. And it's a goat screaming card. And you. You stick it in a hidden place and push the button, and every three minutes, it makes this goat cry. And not like a bat, but like a scream.
Mike Davis
Yeah.
Amy Earnhardt
And so it's. And It'll run for 24 to 36 hours, it says. So we stuck it in his office and underneath his desk. And then when he found it, first of all, he was super pissed that it was happening. Everybody, of course, was, like, in the hall, watching, waiting for him to find it. We were terrible. We were all terrible. We couldn't even, like, let him. Let the suspense ride out. And then Dale's sitting in there just basically telling him where it is. So he pulls it off, and then, like, glitter flies all over the floor.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
It's stuck to whatever surface you want to stick it to. And when the person tries to remove it, glitter goes.
Amy Earnhardt
Glitter bomb. Yeah.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
And so. But Mike, it's sitting there making this noise every minute, every 60 seconds, which feels like three minutes. It maybe was longer, but it's like we're all sitting there waiting for it to make a noise again. So Mike would get Annoyed. And Mike would want to remove it. And Mike's the kind of guy. It's like, yeah, I'm not looking for it. Yeah, I'm not gonna look for it.
Amy Earnhardt
Dale even told him exactly where it was. I'm looking at my desk.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Come on, man. He's like, I'm not looking for it. I'm not looking for it. I'm not doing this. What are y'all. I'm not doing this. And everybody's got their camera phones out.
Amy Earnhardt
Oh, yeah, We've got video footage of this.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Finally. I'm. All right. Mike is under your desk. Just pull it off there. Please.
Amy Earnhardt
God, this is killing all of us.
Mike Davis
Well, there's another one behind the tv. And the next day, we're in his office for a meeting.
Amy Earnhardt
Right? So that's the same card.
Mike Davis
That's the same one.
Amy Earnhardt
That's the same card. So instead of taking it with me, I slid it halfway under the door. Cause he closed his door after that, and he was like, y'all.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah.
Mike Davis
Yeah.
Amy Earnhardt
And then somebody, I guess, one of the girls that were in there for the meeting held onto it and stuck it behind his tv. And Andrew Kurland texted me. He's like, how long does that thing last? Because I hear it's, like, torturing everybody. They found it behind the tv.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Put it in the ceiling tiles.
Amy Earnhardt
Yes. I'm not tall enough to mess with.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
That, but if I had a ladder, I would.
Mike Davis
That's funny.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Hilarious. My dad used to walk around. I've told this story before, and you can find these little things on ebay and so forth, but there's a little black box that you mash a button, and it has four sayings and, pardon my language, one, it would. And it says it like. And so you hit this. And he would walk around. This is, like, 1994. He walked around in the shop, and he was standing next to guys and that thing in his pocket, and he'd mash that button and go, you jerk.
Amy Earnhardt
Oh, my gosh.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
And he would just be sitting there, grinning like hell. He loved it. And I. I think I found one on ebay. I don't know if I don't remember if I bought it or not, but it's this little noisemaker. It says four things.
Amy Earnhardt
You're.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Stuff like that.
Amy Earnhardt
And you have to push the button.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
You push the button, and it makes the nap.
Amy Earnhardt
Whatever saying.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah, the sound. He just thought that was the greatest thing ever.
