[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

The following is a production of Dirty Mo Media.

[Amy Earnhardt]

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

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

I'm Working.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Working that mouth.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

So our drink of the day, we got a high rock drink of the day. This is just high rock and soda, Amy. It's called the red ambulance.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Coca Cola is like technically known as a red ambulance if you are having a little bit of a hangy. And so today we have high rock and Coca Cola.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Yeah. So if you're not feeling all that awesome, this might get you back.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Dale had a big day yesterday, so he's a little bit in need of the red ambulance this morning. But as you as you know, check out highrockvodka.com to find high rock in your area. They have a store locator. And then also try to remember that you have to be 21 or over and you must drink responsively.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

We have had a little situation down here at this, this beach house and we can't keep up with the wasps and their, the rate at which they will build new nests. Like literally, we were sitting at the, at the table on the back porch and there's a wasp nest on the bottom of the table. I mean, my, my knee is literally feet. One foot from you thought too.

[Amy Earnhardt]

It actually stung him because of his reaction. He like jumped out of the chair and threw the chair back and he's like, oh, my God, I saw wasps get you.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

I saw wasps fly under there. And I'm like, he's only one reason he went under there. So I looked down and I'm like, damn sure is been sitting here for 30 minutes with wasps teaming all around my legs. But so we, they are just, you know, they are building everywhere in a corner. Oh yeah, all up in all little corners and crevices of this, of the out exterior roof. And we saw, we saw wasp fly up in the deck roof. And we go over there and look and dude, it's massive. It's like the size of my fist. This wasp nest and these 15 wasps on it. And the way, the way that you have to, to, to get to the nest, you kind of got to get up against the rail and almost shoot stuff. The stuff's going to land on you. You know, you don't want that stuff landing on you or breathing it even. So like, you had to, you had to do a real cumbersome way to get to it. And I wasn't quite ready to commit myself physically to that, but Amy grabbed the bottle and went and sprayed them and.

[Amy Earnhardt]

And well, here's the thing. We all wanted to sit outside and it's on the porch where like the big table and everything is right next to the bar. So we're all wanting to sit outside. And Dale, although he has the spray that shoots like 20ft in the air. And you don't have to stand that close like you said. You do have to kind of stand underneath it and spray back up into the ceiling because it's at an angle. I'm like, let's give me that can. Like, why are we waiting? He's like, I don't know. I'm just not ready to do that. Like, I'll spray him and I'll run inside, Everybody get inside, leave the door open. And so I sprayed the heck out of it. And then it was falling on me. I just put my hand above my head like this and. And sprayed and then ran off. And it started. They just started falling off and collapsed. And the eggs were falling out of that thing. It was absolutely repulsive, to be honest.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

So I got stung on the nose. About two years ago, I went over to the kids playset and I had a. I had this long extension thing, and it was kind of like a duster for high places. And I hit that dang wasp nest trying to knock it down. And they come after me. And boy, I fell, Skipped my leg, knees all up. But.

[Amy Earnhardt]

So that particular day, I told him, I said, there's a giant wasp nest in the playset. You need to get some spray and go out there and handle it. And he said, I don't need no spray. So he goes out there in his bare feet with. In sweatpants and with like a bat or a fly swatter or something. He's just going to knock it down. I'm like, you really should spray it first before you go knocking it down. Well, he didn't listen. And it's at the top, inside the top part of the playset. So he's got to like, climb up the little tiny ladder or slide down the slide to get out of there. And he knocked it down and came down and just kind of sat to watch it. And then they started attacking him. And he's backpedaling and falls off the edge of the playset ring. That's like got bricks all around. It falls in the yard, gets stung right on the nose. It was epically funny. Like we were. We're watching through the windows in the house Just like dying laughing because of the scene. It was. But he was warned.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

So the wasp was angry. And he's like, he did it. He saw. Was. Saw me. And he's like, that's who did it. And the thing is, like, in slow motion it just beeline straight at me and just ran into me wide open like a kamikaze pilot. And it just. It didn't slow and land, you know, it didn't kind of like, slow down and land and sting. It was just like, right in their face.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Yeah, and it.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Yeah, and it. And it. And I fell over and, I mean, I skipped the top of my feet. You don't. You know, you. You. You really fail when you skin up the tops of your feet. Yeah, but. Yeah, so I was a little apprehensive. I wasn't. No real hurry to get stung again. But Amy grabs the thing, sprays it. All these little eggs start falling out. And Amy's like, well, we gotta bust the eggs. We gotta keep. You know, we gotta mash the eggs or something. And so I'm looking around, and all we got this little shark, little tiny handheld shark, vacuum cleaner box. We had just gotten the vacuum cleaner out of it. And so Amy's out there, and I'm out there smashing these eggs with this cart, with this cardboard box. It was just the silliest thing.

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

They're not coming back. No, they're not.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

They will totally. If you don't knock the nest down, even though you sprayed the crap out of it, they will rebuild the nest. I don't know how they do it, even with the. You know, with the chemicals and stuff all over it. But you have to take the nest down because they'll just fix it. It's crazy.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Speaking of, I went back up there yesterday evening, and there were more live wasps on it.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Yeah, that'd be. Really.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Didn't get the job done, to be honest.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

No, I'm not sure. And it's a. It's a. It's like a. It's a intimidating size.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Yeah, it's pretty big.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Yeah. So at this property, we have a bouncy house. And I think we talked about this last week.

[Amy Earnhardt]

We did. We were talking about getting rid of the playset.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

All right, so the playset's gone. I got to figure out what I'm gonna do with this little spot in the yard that it made. But I got some rocks and stuff that I had in the bottom of the playset so it didn't grow a bunch of weeds up in the bottom of it. So I got a little yard work to do there. But we got rid of the playset, which was nice. There was three or four guys out there cutting this thing apart. It's hot. So I went out there and I gave him some cash. I said, hey, this Is just a little extra for being a hot day and doing this for me. And I appreciate a buddy of mine, Bruce, is a friend of ours down here. He's like, he knows somebody that can hold it off. So he called these guys. They showed up, like in just a couple of days. And so I was like, here's a little cash. Take, take. Bruce will send me the invoice and I'll pay for the service. But I didn't want to say hey. I didn't want to not say hey and thanks because they came out here and it was kind of been awkward if they come out here and did the job and, like, didn't see anybody on the property or say thanks or say hello. But I was really surprised that I was able to buy this particular one as cheap as it was this one cost. This one is three times or twice the size, height and everything of the one that we bought four years ago. But it's exactly the same price, relatively within a few bucks. So good price. Got the thing here. Once they got rid of the playset and we had room for it in the backyard, we blew it up. My friend Tim Duggar, that was on co host on the show a couple of weeks ago for Amy, came out to hang out for a couple days. And that was the. That was the reason for the. The heavy rev we had yesterday. But we. We put the bouncy house up in the morning. The girls, I. I told the girls when I put them to bed Tuesday night, I said, hey. I was like, y' all stay up here, sleep. Don't come down. Waking Tim up in the morning for. For the sun comes up because they get all excited. I was like, if y' all stay up here, sleep in the morning, do what you're supposed to do. We'll get that bouncy house ASAP. We'll get it out and blow it up. So 9 o' clock in the morning, I think we're out there inflating a bouncy house, and I'm gonna tell you, man, me and Tim have sat on the porch watching them jump and up slide and go and run around. It was awesome. It was like the perfect morning. One of the best mornings I've had down here in a long time. Just, it wasn't too hot, nice breeze, sitting there, having a couple cold beers and watching the kids just have the best time of their life. It was fun.

[Amy Earnhardt]

They were very excited. They usually wake up. If we have a house guest, they wake up and they will go straight to that person's room and wake them up. It is just their MO. And so that was kind of what Dale was saying is like, stay up here, do not go wake Tim up, and I'll get that bouncy house out. Well, she. They were both up by 7 o'. Clock. 6:45, 7 o'. Clock. But instead of going to Tim, they were just playing upstairs. And she finally heard me shuffle around in the kitchen. I was making a coffee, and she goes, mom, dad said if I didn't wake up before the sun, which I didn't, that the bouncy house could get out. And I was like, well, go talk to your dad. He's still in the bed, but go talk to your dad. So they were really excited. And the bouncy house is giant. I. I went down it. They all went down it. There's two slides. One of them's big and, like swirls around the edge of it. And there's another one that kind of like spills you out into the pool in the middle. And that one's much shorter, but it's much steeper. And Dale went down the big slide just fine. He got a little stuck at the pool part in the bottom, but then he went down the little slide and he. So when I went down it, I shot out like a little bullet, but I was straight. And so it just shot me out onto my back. Dale went down and had his feet flexed and his knees bent just enough. When he hit the bottom, it looked like he was going to ping pong porpo. And he jolted his back. Yeah, it was a hot mess, like a cartoon moment. Tim and I were just dying, laughing at him.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

My back's a little sore.

[Amy Earnhardt]

The technique there was a little off.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

It was bad. Well, it's like. I mean, it's like I jumped off a set of stairs and just sat on my ass. It was hurt like a mug. But we. So the bouncy house is a big success now. It's heavier and it's a big damn. Like, if we're getting it out, it's a.

[Amy Earnhardt]

It's a commitment.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

It's a commitment. Yeah.

[Amy Earnhardt]

It's so. It's too big for me to put away on my own. So it's just like when Dad's here, only what we get be getting this thing out. He's got it in a wheelbarrow so he could wheel it back into the garage because it's too heavy to carry, especially when it's wet.

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

Oh, I bet. Do you have to deflate it every time?

[Amy Earnhardt]

Yeah.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Oh, yeah, yeah. You Ball it up, it fits on top of a wheelbarrow barely. And you just wheelbarrow it into the, you know, the, the basement under the house. So it's actually kind of practical. Perfect for, you know, a little break from the pool or the beach. Speaking of the beach, we. I don't. I can't tell you the last time I've actually walked out there really. Amy take. Amy takes the dogs every morning just about for a walk and sometimes the girls and her will go out there in the evening when it's cool. But for whatever reason, I just haven't. Haven't been out there, hadn't seen it.

[Amy Earnhardt]

But you've been doing too, by the way, that you couldn't go out to the beach.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

We just been lazy, I guess, huh. You know, you meet people down here that live on the beach and you're. And they're like, yeah, I don't go out there much. And you're like, wait, how does that happen? How do you not go out there much? You know, you live on the beach. How do you not. But there's. I get. I kind of get it. Like you kind of almost can forget it's there, I guess, you know, because you got so much else. Other things going on. But anyways, it's been a wasps. Yeah, it's been a good. It's been a good week, but back to work. Almost done with broadcast and one more week going up to Indy today. I got us. I'm leaving right after we done. We get done recording this podcast and I'm going to do a Roto Rooter appearance and then on the way to Indy. But this is the last week of broadcasting and then what's in store? What are we going to do? Amy, we got. I know the kids got school coming up.

[Amy Earnhardt]

They're actually excited to go back to school. Isla was asking me when school started again, so she's very excited. We have one more vacation next week with family and we're going to go to Anna Maria, Florida. So we rented this house when Dale was the year of 50 and it got taken out by the hurricane. That whole little area was like heavily flooded, but the house made it. And most of the town is fine too, but we kind of rebooked that trip for next week, so we've never been to this part of Florida before. It should be fun. And then we'll have them back here, get the bouncy house back out.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Yeah, Anna Maria looks beautiful. I've not spent a bunch of time on the gulfed Gulf coast of Florida.

[Amy Earnhardt]

It's really close to Tampa. Tim's.

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

Oh, is it really? Oh, yeah, like. Well, west coast side of Florida.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Yeah.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Yeah. And then we also get to see some of Amy's family or Texans. They're always a lot of fun to hang out with them. Feels like I haven't seen them in forever.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Yeah, we haven't, I think, since Easter.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Yeah, we have. We have another week down here before the end of the summer. The Budweiser cars tour race weekend. And I think you're going to Texas.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Oh, yeah.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

With the girls. That'll be badass.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Yeah.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

And then a Bass pro cars tour event as well. And then somewhere in all of that, Junior Motorsports is going to win 100 races. I'm nervous because there's some weekends I can't be there. Don't know how to feel about that.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Well, I think I feel like you should be fine in the next few weeks to be there.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Well, I mean, we're.

[Amy Earnhardt]

The chances are high it'll happen in the next few weeks.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Well, honey, I mean, Indies this weekend. If we do it there. If we do it this weekend, I'm there.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Right.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Next weekend we're out of town, and then it's like out of town, out of town, out of town. So we'll see. I think Watkins Glen, we got a great shot with. With Connor and. And so we should have some firepower in the. In the. In the. In the team that weekend. And I'm. And I can get there. I would. We're spending that week here at the beach. But I'm a. I could shoot up there for the day to see that race.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Yeah, for sure. I mean, I don't want you to miss it.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

No, I don't want to miss it, but it's going. Some of the stuff. I ain't got a choice but to be at these other things and not sure how to handle that.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Well, it's hard to be you, honey. It's just so hard to be Dale Jr.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Some days they're gonna be like, where's he at? Why ain't he there?

[Amy Earnhardt]

You know, I would wonder the same thing. You know what else I wonder?

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Why you put on death shows before bed. Like, why do we have to watch something about murder or people stealing things. People stealing people. Or, you know, weird things that happen on cruise ships. The last time you put on. I forget the name of it, but there's this girl named Amy, ironically, and she's on a cruise ship with her family, and she gets abd abducted, and they still haven't Found her. I think that she ended up in Barbados. They feel like they know where she's at, but they still haven't found her. So it took me two days to watch this series because I fell asleep the first night, and then the second night, I think I fell asleep again. So I don't. I don't think I even really watched the end of it. But anyway, Dale's M.O. is to put on horrible things like that. Right before he goes and he's out. He falls asleep in my lap where I can't move and get to the remote. So I'm like, sitting duck with this show. And he falls right asleep. Doesn't bother him at all. For me, it, like, infiltrates my dreams. If I'm watching stuff like that all of a sudden, like, World War II bombs are happening in my dreams or, like, something weird is happening. Does that happen to you?

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

No. I mean, I was thinking it was, like, fake. Like, scary stuff. Like. Not, like. No, like real documentaries, but.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

I mean, I guess the murder documentaries, I think, would linger at me a little bit, but like a World War II movie. I don't know. I wouldn't. I wouldn't care. I know.

[Amy Earnhardt]

It's like he used to fall asleep to the History Channel on every single night. And we. When I first moved in, I was like, dude, I can't. I'm used to, like, pure silence and pure darkness. And he's got World War II. And so, like, in the middle of the night, it's always that mundane sound of whoever's voice is doing the narration.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Is the reason why I like the Military Channel. Yeah. I mean, the reason why I liked it was because the guy, the narrator is always really, like, real flat, monotone, monotone. Now the bombs and stuff get loud. But there was also, like, you know, some online. You know, you could. There's online news, you. There's places you can go online and get. There's like, a person that just, like, reads the happenings of the day, you know, in the news. But it's real, like. And it's like, I will turn that on and not hear a damn word they're saying. But it's just the sound of that person just kind of talking in that tone that just sends me right to sleep.

[Amy Earnhardt]

That's crazy. Like, I can understand falling asleep watching the Golf Channel. You know what I mean? Like, that's kind of a soothing, happy noise.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Yeah, I suppose.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Extra chatter in your mind when you're trying to go to sleep.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

That's the other thing, too. Like, if I thought. I thought if I was listening to something informative, then I was getting smarter in my sleep. I got my. I wasn't. I wouldn't wake up. No. I wouldn't wake up the next day. And it's in there. Like, I don't remember it, but it's shoved in a file somewhere. You know what I mean? And so I might be having a conversation ten years from now and go, oh, yeah, I remember what happened there. You know, that. That was a heck of a battle they had that day. And. Oh, my God, you know, Eastern front and the Western front. I don't know. It's stuck. It's in there because I heard it in my sleep, but I don't. I can't get up and just recite it.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Yeah. I don't feel like it happens where you actually absorb it just as it's being told. It's, like, mashed in there with all your other thoughts and dreams and weirdness. You know what I mean?

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy Earnhardt]

And this weird dream that you have.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

I could see how that could be unhealthy.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Anyway, for. Amy didn't make it off the cruise ship, and we're scheduled to go on a cruise next year. Never been on a cruise in my life. It really is not my thing. And our good friend Tamla does Disney bookings. And so we kind of got to talking about going on a Disney cruise, and all of a sudden we're going on a Disney cruise. Like, happened pretty fast in the kitchen. And so I'm a little nervous about going. A lot of people, very peoplely. Nowhere to go. But, I mean, of course this Disney is going to be amazing. But the cruise, it's very, very.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

It's a really peoplely kind of place. Tim's. It's peoplely, peoplely. And.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, it'll be fine. I'm just a little nervous about the boat part. Dale's been on cruises before, but I.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Have not, so I went on one, and it's. It's nothing like what we're gonna experience. You know, it's Disney. It's. They should have it pretty buttoned up.

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

Yeah. The family ones are more. Are way less, like, I guess, wild than like, the, you know, drinking ones that are like, watch you don't get thrown overboard. Like, this is going to be so tame. It's.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Yeah. I'm just worried about, like, the technicalities of the boat, I guess. Also, have you seen. There's a. There's a whole documentary about this poop situation on a Cruise ship? No, it's new, but there's this horrible situation where this boat got stranded. They had sewage issues. They ended up having to get pulled into port. I haven't watched it. Obviously, I know enough to, like, not watch it, but see, there's lots of things to really worry about.

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

What's going. Is it just a poop boat? Like, what. What's going on?

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

A poop boat?

[Amy Earnhardt]

It basically turned into the poop boat.

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

Jeez, that's a nightmare.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Did they. Why don't they just dump the poop?

[Amy Earnhardt]

Yeah, I don't know. I don't. There was. There was mechanical issues, like they didn't have. Their systems were not working. They couldn't go anywhere. They couldn't pump the poop. They couldn't do any of that. One of us needs to watch it this week.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

I guess I can watch it, but.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Yeah, so there's, like, lots of stuff like that to worry about.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

I'm nervous. I am nervous to go on this cruise because it's your people. I used to hear about Rock Fever or Island Fever, where you go to, like, a small location or a small resort or something like that, and you feel claustrophobic and you. You got. Got. You want to leave because you feel confined or whatever. And I've heard about people having that experience when they go on to small vacations in the, you know, Caribbean or whatever, in little, tiny, tiny areas. And it could happen on a boat, too. You. You get. You feel like, look, I'm. I'm. I'm feeling claustrophobic. I need to get off. And that sensation's hard to get rid of. And so, yeah, that.

[Amy Earnhardt]

That's another. There's another thing to worry about. I don't like tight spaces. I don't like being held or. Yeah, like, the whole thing's gonna freak me out. I think I'm gonna have to talk myself into a happy place to get.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

On this boat, I guess. There's this area on the boat. This is what I'm kind of nervous about. And TJ and Tamela, TJ Majors, spotter, tj. They do the Disney stuff, all the Disney things. They do the cruise every year. They do all the Disney stuff, and they're like, oh, no, it's fine. You're gonna love it. They got this thing. They got this. They got that. You're gonna be great. But they keep telling us about this one specific thing where they. There's a space where the kids can go and only the kids can go in there, and they do games and activities and the parents don't go in there. Like, you can drop them off and see it, but you can't stay. And I'm apprehensive about it because they're like, yeah, you know, you just. Kids go in there and they're good for a couple hours. You can go roam around and have something to eat or go sit at the bar or whatever. And I'm like, I don't know.

[Amy Earnhardt]

I'm worried that one of our kids or both might just not want to be left in there. But, like, the princesses that are in there to, like, read books to them and do crafts.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

I know. So I need to see all this before my mind can sign off on it. You know what I'm saying?

[Amy Earnhardt]

You, like, have to take a slide to get down in there. So, like, it's very kid. Oh, it's like a magical place. They don't even want to come out, apparently. But, yeah, there are no other adults allowed in there except for the people, the attendants that are supposed to be there. And then the princesses come in and out, but that's about it. So, I mean, it feels like it's safe. Everybody has, like, their own little key card, and the kid has, like a label or whatever. Like, nobody's going in or out without the right person to get them in or out. So I don't know. It feels fine. Yeah. But I feel like Isla's gonna be like, I really want to go be by myself. I want to hang out with you. What are we doing? You know what I mean? Nicole, probably want to stay in there with Stella, and Ilo's not going to want to do that.

All right. So Tim's has a game for us called who tweeted this? So he's going to read a bunch of old tweets found on Twitter from NASCAR fans and different people in the communities, and we have to figure out who tweeted it, who said it.

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

Yeah. Way better game than last week's game.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Last week's game was.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Well, we'll see. We'll see.

[Amy Earnhardt]

It's like, read my mind. Ready? Go.

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

So this one. Yeah. You guys. You guys actually personally know all these people. So this is going to be. It's a little bit of a small array group to pick from. So the first one, I want to buy the gate security guard a beer that made Dale Jr. Show his hard card crying face emoji. This was tweeted on June 29, 2021. Not Bubba.

[Amy Earnhardt]

No, not Bubba.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Latart?

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

Nope.

[Amy Earnhardt]

TJ.

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

Nope.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Mike Davis.

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

Nope.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Blaney?

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

Nope.

[Amy Earnhardt]

This person's in Rick Allen.

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

Nope. Not Rick Allen. This person is not necessarily a NASCAR figure, but is around the community often.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Tim.

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

Yes. Tim Duggar.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Tim Duggar.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Oh, damn.

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

Our next one from July 5, 2014. Good Lord. Our late models won tonight. Just inject the beer straight into my bloodstream at this point.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Dale.

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

No, not Dale.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Just inject the beer straight into my bloodstream. Who else owns a late model?

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

I'm trying to think it might. I'm assuming that it's our car, our late model team that they're talking about.

[Amy Earnhardt]

My 2014 was a long time ago.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Carson.

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

Nope.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Oh, 2014.

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

2014. Yeah.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

And it wasn't me.

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

Nope. Was not you.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Kelly.

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

Nope. Wasn't Kelly.

[Amy Earnhardt]

That does not sound like something that your sister would Say Mike Davis.

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

It is Mike Davis. He wants the beer injected into his bloodstream.

[Amy Earnhardt]

I can't imagine him saying that either.

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

He had a few tweets like that too. About back to back to back.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Back when Mike used to be fun.

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

This next one, it's from July 6, 2019. Woke up, ready to party, alarm on my beer drinking clock going off.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Dale.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

That's not me.

[Amy Earnhardt]

That sounds like a Dale, isn't it?

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

What? I did not tweet that.

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

Yes, you did. I have it right here.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

My alarm clock drinking, beer drinking, woke.

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

Up, woke up, ready to party. Alarm on my beer drinking clock going off.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

What year was that?

[Amy Earnhardt]

Bless you, dude.

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

2019.

[Amy Earnhardt]

What were we doing? I wonder? That was a Key west quote.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

That was like July probably Key West. Yeah, July.

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

This one probably is my favorite. Earnhardt once told me women control half the money and all the sex.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Ha ha ha ha.

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

This is from 2010. This is a while. Wow.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

What is it?

[Amy Earnhardt]

Kenny Wallace is Kenny Wallace.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Damn.

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

May 27, 2010.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Guess number one.

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

So this one's a two parter that I got here. The first one is sunny day in a pool with a beer. Is this heaven? Nope, just a Saturday night cup weekend. And then the response. Whose beer? He. He. So who. Who was the first, do you think?

[Amy Earnhardt]

He.

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

He.

[Amy Earnhardt]

I hate that.

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

Who do you think to be the first one?

[Amy Earnhardt]

Say it again.

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

Sunny day in a pool with a beer. Is this heaven? Nope, just a Saturday night cup weekend. Hashtag love them. I forgot that the first time man is from 2011.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Is this a response to a photo?

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

This is just. That's just a regular tweet.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Tweet.

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

Then the response was at this person whose beer? He. He.

[Amy Earnhardt]

God, I hope I didn't say that.

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

No, he did not say that. This. Do you want a hint? This might give it away though. It's a driver spotter combination.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Is it Dale and TJ?

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

Not Dale and TJ now from 2010. 2011.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Damn.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Good Lord.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Is it Bubba and Freddie?

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

No.

[Amy Earnhardt]

They'Re in the pool on a Saturday night on a cuff weekend. So it's not somebody that was racing.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

It's probably a driver. It's. It's a driver that may be too young to drink beer. I don't know because I'm.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Is this Kenny Wallace again?

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Who's beer?

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

One of these is tj. So you're kind of half right. I'll give you that one.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Is it Brad?

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

It's Brad tweeted it and TJ said the he. Yes.

[Amy Earnhardt]

That doesn't feel like a Brad thing at all. I know 20 and not PJ and he. I could see that. I don't think people that text hehe are just straight weirdos. There's so many other options.

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

2011, there's a lot of good tweets from TJ back then the next one, you basically spray all kinds of bacteria, fecal matter and viruses into the air. If you don't hashtag gross me.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Yes, that is you that you close that toilet lid. Close the toilet.

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

I didn't understand it. I'm like, if you don't. What?

[Amy Earnhardt]

If you don't close the lid. That was probably a response to Dale and going off on me asking him to close the toilet seat before he flushed the toilet.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Well, that's fun.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Yeah. I'm surprised, Amy.

[Amy Earnhardt]

I think I put a tweet out in a solid 10 years.

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

You have no. I had to dig back for yours.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

I wonder when Amy's last tweet was.

[Amy Earnhardt]

I don't know. It's been a long time.

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

You were way more active. Like before the pandemic era.

[Amy Earnhardt]

After I slowed down, I slowed down. I slowed down with social media a lot. But Twitter, after Dale was racing, after Dale stopped racing, I felt like I didn't really. Twitter didn't serve me very well. I always was like kept up with everything. And even if I wasn't at the racetrack for whatever reason, I could watch the leaderboard on Twitter.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy Earnhardt]

And then I kind of quit. So. Wah wah.

Let'S do some ass gaming. Tim's gonna read some questions and we've had some really fun, fun ones here over the past couple of episodes.

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

There is some really fun ones.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Oh goodness.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Are there.

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

The first one is Gray. He needs some help. He's never had a girlfriend before. He's been out with this girl three times and he wants to know how many dates is appropriate to ask her to be his girlfriend?

[Amy Earnhardt]

Hmm. I would say like 10 probably. That's a long time at least. That's too long I think.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

So.

[Amy Earnhardt]

That'S like we're dating for almost two months and then like we're gonna go steady after that. Right. I mean that's more than a day to week. There's really like not a good structured time limit for it. It just has to feel right going off. I feel like if you want to ask her, you should just ask her.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

You're going off of their react, you know, their sort of vibe and what your gauge what you're getting out of, you know, from them. You feel like it's that time you just kind of do it.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Don't ask daily. He's going to tell. He'll tell you how to run away.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Well, I, I got, I kept you around somehow. I did a few things right.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Yeah, I don't think there's a like a time limit or whatever on it. I would just say ask her.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Like if you really feel like it.

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

Three, three times. A little. There's two. I think that's a little.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Three dates.

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

Three dates. Yeah. Three dates.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Yeah. I mean I tends on the tens on the long end. I think I'm going to be asking this about 8, 7, 8.

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

I think guys too, you kind of know within the first 15, 20 minutes of the date if you, if you're going to date her or not really.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy Earnhardt]

That early.

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

Yeah.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

Guys for sure.

[Amy Earnhardt]

I feel like it takes girls a little Bit longer.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

We're very like.

[Amy Earnhardt]

It takes a little bit longer to peel back the layers.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

We're very. See, that's it. We're very surface layer. We're very like. Like what I see. Let's give us. Give us a run. I'm ready to commit. And then, you know, three months later, you're like, well, got down into the layers. Don't like it. Ready to get out. Abort, abort, abort.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Yeah, that feels like.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Hit the eject button.

[Amy Earnhardt]

I mean, oh, my gosh.

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

That's exactly what happens. Next one is Tanner kind of similar, except he's had a girlfriend for six months and he needs your guys help because he. She took his favorite hoodie apparently over the weekend at a sleepover and she won't give it back. She now likes it, but he wears it all the time. H. How is he getting that thing back?

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Got to be pretty.

[Amy Earnhardt]

So this happened with Dale and I years ago. I think he just has to wait it out. Dale had a T shirt that had a hot dog and a mustard on it. Or is it ketchup and mustard? It was ketchup and mustard and they were high fiving each other. And it was one of his favorite T shirts.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

It was a hot dog and mustard.

[Amy Earnhardt]

High fiveing a hot dog mustard. And so I wanted to keep it. And he was like, okay, I'm gonna let you have this for a little while, but I want that back. And so eventually I did just give it back to him when I stopped wearing it to go to sleep. But, yeah, we had the same situation happen. I would say just. Just tell her you want it back or like, let her cuddle with it until she's annoyed with you and then maybe ask for it back. Maybe she'll throw it at you. Who knows?

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

Yeah, I think that's hers. I think that's hers until she's giving back. That's a tough ass. That's a fight waiting to happen. I don't know if a sweatshirt's worth it.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Exactly.

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

This next one's from Katie. She wants a Mr. Mom garage door update from fan day. That story where you backed into the garage door.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Mr. Mom did not escape. He's fine. The garage door, I think Dale was able to mess with it and fix it like the. It is a. There are wooden doors, wooden panel doors, and there are. You know, the ribs inside of it are metal. And so I bent the metal and it pushed the. Push the wood just a little. But I think Dale was able to fix it.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Yeah, all that stuff's back to normal. The only problem is is my vacuum out in the garage. It. And this has been the case since I've put it out there. Apparently those things cannot vacuum in the dark. So I have it set to run at 2 in the morning or something like that. Right. So it can just do its job and then in the morning, you know, it ain't running while we're out there trying to back cars in and out and running over to the top of it. So I have it running in the middle of the night and it's dark in there. And it'll say every day such Mr. Mr. Mom could not complete the whole work area. And it's because it's dark and it doesn't go. It kind of can't do some areas.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Just won't do it.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

I guess I don't understand that.

[Amy Earnhardt]

I mean, we need to get Mr. Mom a nightlight.

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

Yeah.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

You had a spotlight on.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Yeah, Just leave the light on in the garage. I don't know.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Give him his own headlamp.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

If I try to run that thing during the day, I know Amy's gonna drive over top of it next time.

[Amy Earnhardt]

I'm just gonna plow right over it. Just because again.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

It'S like an original.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Like that though too. Yeah, it's an old one.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

It's like an original Roomba that like. Yeah.

[Amy Earnhardt]

It's like it's never gonna die.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Doesn't have. Yeah. And it. But it doesn't do everything great. You know, the first roombas were kind of okay, you know.

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

Yeah.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Always kind of screwing up here and there. Now the new roombas or the. The later ones are much more sophisticated and smarter and. But this one's a, you know, pretty, pretty. This one's pretty incompetent.

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

But it's. It's. It's the OG But I. I'm tight.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

As hell, so I ain't going to throw it out till it stops just completely working.

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

Yeah, I get that.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

It's going to clean something.

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

This next question is from Lisa. She wants to know, Amy, how did Dale react to the news when you first told him you were pregnant for the first time?

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

We got that on film.

[Amy Earnhardt]

We do have that on film. I can share that with you. He. He was blown away. I've. I had taking the test by myself and I just kind of knew. I just felt weird. I didn't really know what it was. We were trying, but we were amateur leaf trying. We didn't really.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

What the does that mean?

[Amy Earnhardt]

It means like I. I wasn't tracking Anything.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

You just have people's head. You don't know where people's heads are going right now. We were trying, but we were amateurs. And this.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Well, I mean, when you try to get pregnant with a second kid, you know exactly what to do. You know what I'm saying?

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

You know exactly where it goes.

[Amy Earnhardt]

We had tried for years to not get pregnant, Right.

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

He figured it out, buddy.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Figured it out. That's where it goes.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Oh, my God. So anyway, I took the test by myself, and it was positive, and I took my breath away. But I was very excited because we were in that point of our lives where we were wanting to have babies. And then I got a onesie and I took another test just to make sure for sure, and I put them in a little bag for him. And so he had this, like, little gift to open, and it took him a minute to figure it out. Like, he just sat there and looked at it, like, in disbelief, basically. And then he cried. And then. So, like, the end of the video is like him crying into the onesie. It's really cute.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Yeah. Pretty incredible.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Do you even remember that?

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Oh, it's like the. It's incredible. It's incredible feeling like the. It's almost like it's a real emotional thing. And I don't. I don't know if this might sound wrong, but you ever. If you have somebody that you love that's going through an illness, and somehow it was a very serious situation, but somehow they come out the other side. Good. And you finally get that news that they're going to be fine. It's really like a. An emotional pop like that. Like, holy cow. You can't really comprehend what being a parent's like at that moment or what your future, you know, being. You know, what it's going to be like to have a child in your home and in your life. But just the news in the instant of that moment is that same sort of emotional pop or. Or height that you get from hearing some really, really great news about somebody you love.

[Amy Earnhardt]

When we found out we were pregnant with Nicole, we had wear a T shirt that said big sister. And Dale was in such shock. He's like, how do you already know it's a girl? He's the sister. She's a sister, no matter what.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

I know. I don't know why. When I saw the Isla, I was like, it's a girl. Like, how do you know already? Wow. I mean, it's not. It's before time to be able to tell that it's what sex it is. And, man, my mind was just in a pretzel.

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

This next one's from Jeff. He wants to know, do you guys remember the first kind of embarrassing thing you did in Yalls relationship where you're like, well, he or she's never coming back. Now, that was. That's a little too much. Or the first thing you share. It's a little tough question, but, yeah.

[Amy Earnhardt]

I mean, I remember what Dale did.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Oh.

[Amy Earnhardt]

But he didn't feel embarrassed about it whatsoever. I was having a sleepover, and I got up to brush my teeth to go to work because we're still building the house. And I was going to run up to the job site, and he comes in and sits down behind me to go to the bathroom. And so by sitting, I think, you know what he's doing. Yeah. And so I'm like. I turn around my toothbrush mid mouth, mid brush. I'm like. He goes, huh. I think we've talked about that before on his show. I don't know. What embarrassing things did I do? You try to block those out. You're like, okay, hopefully that's like. You ignore it. Hopefully this didn't really happen.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

No, I don't think I've. I don't think there's ever been anything that Amy's ever done even close to.

[Amy Earnhardt]

If I did, it didn't happen in front of him.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

I think in this.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Here's the thing. I'm also. I don't take myself super seriously. And if I do something stupid, I'm probably going to tell him about it first or make a joke about it myself, too. I feel like you have to take ownership of those things or otherwise it kind of eats, you know, it eats at you. Yeah, right. Like, if it's got. You got to just be proud of it. Almost not.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

This isn't that serious, but Amy burped in front of me for the first time I believe in. In ever the other day.

[Amy Earnhardt]

No, I didn't. No, I didn't. I did, too. Okay. I can make. I can also make myself burp, which I won't do. But my sister and I used to take turns doing ABC. We could burp the ABCs. And we used to do it to make my dad laugh. And that was, like, always the mo. We'd sit down for dinner and whatever we could do to make our serious dad, like, laugh at the end of the day was. Was our goal. And so we would make ourselves burp. And he thought it was hilarious.

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

He loves burps. That's funny.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

He doesn't I don't know.

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

That's true.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

We sitting out by the pool, like, three or four days ago, and Amy just goes. I was like. I was like, damn, I've never heard that.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Oh, come on. Surely you've heard that before.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

You have never perped in front of me.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Well, we're both letting it go then. Whoops.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Because I told. Remember? Because I'm like, hey, I'm trying to do better. I'm trying to not burp.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Yeah.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

In front of her. And I keep on doing it. I'm just terrible. I've been burping all week. We'll be here, you know, just sitting right next to her, just like. And not.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Is there something that happens when you get a little older like, that you physically can't hold it back? Like, you just can't.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

You can. You can. It just. I've gotten in this habit of, like, feeling like I don't have to have any manners.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Couth. Yeah, Manners. Yeah.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

Do you guys get embarrassed at all? Do you feel embarrassment? Really?

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

At all?

[Amy Earnhardt]

Yeah.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Yep.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Sure.

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

Really?

[Amy Earnhardt]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

I can't really see that. I feel like it's just like, all right, whatever that happened.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Really?

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

Yeah.

[Amy Earnhardt]

You think that you. You don't feel like he and I.

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

With you guys, I'm like, this must be so. It must be the worst thing ever to make you guys feel embarrassed.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Yeah. It would have to be something pretty big.

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

Yeah. Like, it wouldn't be easy.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy Earnhardt]

No.

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

Like, burping in public, you'd be like, nah, whatever. That's.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Yeah. Yeah. I. I get embarrassed. Like, I get a little bit embarrassed by. So Tim. Tim, come out here. We. Me and Tim Duggar hadn't seen each other in a long time, and he's like, hey, I'll come hang out for a day at the beach while y' all were there. So he kind of. He flies in and we're all excited, man. It's gonna be great. We're gonna make the most of this. Woohoo. Gonna be fun. And we get up yesterday and again. Yeah. We put the bouncy house out. We had a dang awesome morning. And. But, you know, probably should have hydrated dry. Probably should have drank a little bit more water. About middle of the afternoon, I was like, tim, I'm. I'm tired. I'm like, I'm. I'm ready to shut down. I want to go lay down, you know?

[Amy Earnhardt]

And so Tim's like, you better get your.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Yeah. Tim's like. Tim's like, what? I'm like, yeah, I Don't know what's going on. I just don't feel. Feel great. I don't feel great. I'm not drunk. I just don't. I feel like I want to sleep. And so I laid on the couch and went to sleep. So that's a little embarrassing because he came all the way out here and we didn't really get to stand on the throttle. But it's probably for the better because I've got an appearance today and I don't need to be too hungover. I need to be pretty sharp.

[Amy Earnhardt]

But he always feels a little embarrassed when he can't pirate like he used to.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

I wanted to pirate and I couldn't pirate yesterday.

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

That. I feel that. That makes sense. I get that. All right, my last question for you guys. It is Shark Week, apparently.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Okay?

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

One, do you guys celebrate? And two, would you ever dive with sharks?

[Amy Earnhardt]

We don't celebrate Shark Week, but I would love to get in a cage and have sharks around me. We've been to like, the Bahamas. We've been to the islands and been around sharks. Like, we're all fascinated by sharks. Even Isla loves watching the shark videos on Discovery. Like, we're all into it, but I don't think that. I know Dale doesn't want to get in the water with them, especially like a great white, but I would love to do that.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

No interest. I'm very. I'll say this, this is something fun to share. So I don't like being in the water with something underneath me and I don't care what it is. It can be a fish. It could be a sunken, sunken boat. It can be a plane. I don't care. But I don't. Something about that is extremely, extremely unsettling and, and creepy, scary, creepy. And so I'm fascinated by shipwrecks and planes and things that are in, you know, off the, you know, off in the water, in a barrier, in a. In a reef somewhere or whatever. And what's the story? And how'd that get there? There was. We were. We went with Latart and Jeff Burton and Rick Allen and all them. I think on that trip on the. When we rented a boat, there was a. Like there was kind of like a B. A B52 or like a, a large size plane from the 70s that had crashed in this, in this lagoon. It had taken off from the Runway and either failed to. Failed to get it up in the air or, or landed short or whatever. Right? But it's in this. It's in like 20 foot of water. And it had. I had to summon all the courage I had to get in the water and. And swim around it. And there's something about, like, if you're. If you're. If you're in the water and you're. And you got your head out of the water, but there's a big body of something underneath you, even if you can't know you're not within reach of it. It's just scary. I don't know what. I don't know how. I just. I'm. I'm panicked that it's there and that I don't know what you know. I don't know how to explain it.

[Amy Earnhardt]

But I remember you telling me that we were snorkeling around that boat because it still had the propeller and everything on the front of it, so you'd be careful you didn't get kind of, like, washed into it because there were. There was quite a bit of wake and waves. And Dale's like. I don't know why, but I feel like that thing's gonna just, like, come alive or.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy Earnhardt]

What if it moves? Or what if I get in and, like, I hit it and I've got barnacles scratched up, you know?

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Well, we were. I snorkeled a much deeper shipwreck years ago. It's probably 30 foot of water. And we just snorkel. Snorkeled across the top of the surface of the water, looking down. There were some sharks at the bottom. The. Not the kind that are really going to bother you, small sharks, but something like that. Yeah, they were down there swimming around. And this is an old wooden boat, probably about 180 foot long, and. And we were snorkeling over that and even that. To me, I, like, I need to have my eyes on it at all times when I can. When I can see it, I'm okay. But as soon as I pick my head up and. And I'm like, there's a. It's a sheer panic that comes over me because I don't. Because I just need to. It's this thing down there underneath me, and I'm. It's like I can't see. It's like a. I can't explain it. I wish somebody knew what the word was or how to explain this phobia or whatever.

[Amy Earnhardt]

There's probably somebody else that shares that with you.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy Earnhardt]

But I am worried about the water. Like, there's something I can't see that's about to come get real close to me. And that would make me Freak out. And you're not supposed to flail around. When you freak out when there's sharks and whatever around you in the water, you're supposed to stay calm.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Where we were here at in South Carolina Thames, there, we have fished less than a mile away from the.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Right here, the beach less than a.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Mile from our shore and caught sharks and.

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

Really?

[Amy Earnhardt]

Yeah, a lot of sharks.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

How big was that one shark? I call. Right.

[Amy Earnhardt]

The lemon shark was huge. It was really big. It was like 10 foot long.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Wow.

[Amy Earnhardt]

And there's like little nerd sharks. Hammerheads. There's hammerheads everywhere around here. I mean, they don't.

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

Really close to the shore. Really, really crazy.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Yeah.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

And so we get out there and the kids. I'll get out there and I just go to my. Maybe to my. The bottom of my pant. Right. I mean, I'm just a little over my knees deep in the water just to get a little refreshing, cool off. I'm not swimming in there further than that. But my. Our little girls will go. They'll go out there in front of you. Just a few feet now, but they're, you know, they're up to their chest, probably three foot of water. And I'm like, that's far enough. That's far. And they're looking at me like, what in the hell is wrong with you? Why are you scared to go for this? You know, this ain't nothing. And I'm like, no, that's it. No, no, too far. Come back.

[Amy Earnhardt]

So there are sharks, and even in the tide pool, there's a bunch of kite surfers. And so there's one kite surfing video from right out here on Sullivan's. This guy has a head camera on and he falls off of his surfboard or his kite surfing board and looks straight down at the bottom of this very shallow pool. And there's a giant shark. Like, it's maybe 10ft of water. It's not that deep anymore. But one time it was a giant shark just hanging out.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

How does it get there? That's how.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Well, so the tide comes in and out. And so like back in the day, like it used to come in and create this big pool and then would go out, it would like just shallow out and the sharks and everything would leave. But you never really knew what was down there. We used to see dolphins come through. Yeah, it's pretty. It's pretty scary.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Yeah, it's pretty sketchy.

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

That is sketchy. I'd download the shark tracker app, see where they're all going.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Yeah, that is fun to watch.

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

Yeah, it is for sure. But it's scary to know where exactly how close they are, where they're at.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Yeah, I need to get that app. Shark tracker.

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

Someone said it's.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Maybe you don't need to know, Dale.

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

It's like Santa Claus tracker but for adults. That's what somebody compared to. That's all we got for Ask Amy today.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Thank you guys for your questions as always. We appreciate them. And please don't forget to to subscribe to our YouTube channel if you haven't already.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

I heard a rumor you did. Amy bought like 250 shirts.

[Amy Earnhardt]

I didn't. I bought four.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Okay.

[Amy Earnhardt]

I bought four.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Amy. You sure?

[Amy Earnhardt]

Yeah.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Okay.

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

I do know the margin of victory was like 20 something, so it was a 20 shirt. Yeah, it was a good. It was a good size lead, I think.

[Amy Earnhardt]

Oh, you feel like that's a good lead? I felt like that was pretty tight.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Which shirt was the worst?

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

Andrews. I'm getting lucky today tonight.

[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]

Yeah, that was pretty, pretty stupid.

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

His quote was I peaked too early promoting it. But I think that was just.

[Amy Earnhardt]

That's what he should have put on the shirt. I peaked too early.

[Dale Jr. (Dale Earnhardt Jr.)]

Yeah, maybe. Maybe I would have won.
