The following is a production of Dirty Mo Media.
Amy
Oh yeah this is the way it's going to be, girl. We're gonna hang out, open a bunch of jars. You got big, strong hands. Are you suffering from high crack?
Dale Jr.
I'm working.
Amy
Working that mouth. All right, foreign. Hey, guys. Dale and I are in the Dirty Mo Media studio for another round of Bless yous Heart. Let's get started.
Dale Jr.
Let you down on Mother's Day.
Amy
He did let me down a little bit on Mother's Day.
Travis
Oh, no.
Dale Jr.
And we were going to talk about Mother's Day.
Amy
Let's just talk about it. No.
Dale Jr.
Yeah, because I don't want to.
Amy
You don't want to talk about it?
Dale Jr.
I want to talk about it now. We were going to talk about it because I thought it was all right.
Amy
But listen, it was all right. It was just all right. I got to go to the spa. I did get a massage, so that part was great. But I get up there first thing in the morning, and Dale's gotten out breakfast that I had made the day before. Like, I, like, pre made breakfast the day before. And he feeds the girls and then feeds himself and then puts it away and does not leave it out or even make my breakfast.
Dale Jr.
Yep. Damn. I know.
Amy
Like, okay, Starting off on a weird foot, but I'm about to leave, so I'm just gonna let it go. And I get home, and it's kind of the same thing. Like, the energy in the house is, like, sad. The girls are sitting on the couch. They look like they've been running a marathon. Like, they're just worn out, which is fine. But Dale didn't get up. Like, I had to ask him for help to get in the door, and nobody was happy to see me. Like, it was, like, just a regular old day with no energy and no. Like, we love you, Mommy.
Dale Jr.
That's right.
Amy
You know, none of that. There was none of that.
Dale Jr.
And then, like, five minutes into the. And once you got home.
Amy
Well, I noticed that the girls are watching some really ridiculous show that I. It's probably fine, but I hate it.
Dale Jr.
We've been home 15 minutes maybe, and the girls just ran over there and turned on the tv. And I wasn't really paying attention yet, or I probably would have been like, yeah, let's not watch this. It wasn't nothing. It's just.
Amy
No, it's just some weird show. I don't. I think it's not.
Dale Jr.
It's not a kid show. But it's just. We're particular.
Amy
There's an adult that plays with the kid in the show, and I don't like that. I think it's weird.
Dale Jr.
I don't like our kids watching shows where there's adults playing, being goofy and clowny. Being goofy and clowny?
Amy
Yeah.
Dale Jr.
I don't know. That's a weird vibe.
Amy
It makes me feel weird. If somebody was acting like that in my presence, I would be like, don't talk to that person. There's something wrong with that person.
Travis
I feel like a lot of kids shows really aren't, like, kid appropriate.
Amy
Yeah.
Dale Jr.
Even, like, I don't know. I don't want to get into that too deep, but we don't have to
Travis
say specific show names. Everybody.
Amy
I don't even know this, to be honest.
Dale Jr.
Everybody teach their own.
Amy
But I walked in, I turned it off. I'm like, y' all have. I know. I don't want you watching this. Let's watch something else. And then Nicole punched her, got super mad, and just walked over and punched.
Dale Jr.
5 minutes. 5 minutes right in the head. She got punched.
Amy
Yeah. I'm like, you know what? Screw this. I went upstairs and I pouted. I just literally, I didn't turn the TV on anything. I just sat in the bed, and I was just, like, laying with my eyes closed, like, trying to, like, resend myself. I was like. I was so relaxed from the spa, and I came home and all that was happening. I'm like, nope, you're not gonna steal my joy. And then the girls came upstairs, and, well, I came all over me.
Dale Jr.
Dale came upstairs, and then I saw you were blue. And then I sent them upstairs. I went downstairs. I said, y' all better go up there and cheer up your mother.
Amy
The whole thing was just.
Dale Jr.
It was comical, but not comical.
Amy
It was a load of bull, but it was not. It was not what you would want.
Dale Jr.
She so.
Amy
I know my family loves me. They just have a hard time showing it. What is that all about?
Travis
Is it. Do you need, like. Are you more of an affirmation person?
Dale Jr.
No, I just want acts of service.
Amy
I want service. Like, I want a little service.
Travis
Okay.
Amy
And I love a present. Like, give me some. I would love a gift.
Travis
Just something simple.
Amy
Flowers, a gift. Like, show me that you care. Go out of your way to show me that you care. That. No, none of that.
Dale Jr.
I thought that the day at the car service and the day at the spa, and I sent a friend along with her. I organized to a buddy to go along last year. She went by herself. I thought that that was checking the boxes, but I didn't even. I mean, you know, I get it. I get up, make A couple waffles. It ain't like. It ain't like you got to make this grand breakfast. Just like, make an effort to show you care. And I didn't do that. And then I was planning on, you know, we went around. I was like, she said she's like.
Amy
When I was leaving, I was like, you're gonna handle dinner, right?
Dale Jr.
You're gonna handle dinner.
Amy
He goes, oh. I'm like, yes.
Dale Jr.
Well, I. What?
Amy
Please?
Dale Jr.
Yep.
Amy
Okay. Yeah, sure. For you, I'll do dinner. Well, he hadn't even thought about it.
Dale Jr.
No, Like, I was.
Amy
I.
Dale Jr.
That's how I operate. I don't think about it. I just handle it when it comes. And no prep. No prep.
Amy
You can't really live life like that, especially like a meal.
Travis
That's how I am.
Amy
Well, take some notes, Travis. It's hard to do that.
Travis
I'm bad. I'm just. I'm like Dale.
Amy
Well, especially living out where we live. Like, you can't just doordash something and it be there that fast. You know what I mean? Like, you really do have to prep all of our meats in the freezer. Like, you have to think about it
Dale Jr.
doordash all the time.
Amy
I know. And it takes an hour to get
Dale Jr.
to us, but I mean, I'm just, I'm. I wasn't. I was thinking. The way I had thought this out was that Amy was gonna be gone all day. And, you know, I was like, hey, don't rush home. Just, you got your friend. I don't, you know, I didn't know what her plans were. And I'm like, just open ended. Whatever your. Your day ends up being is your choice. And I wasn't thinking about, well, she'll be home for dinner, so let me make sure dinner's ready or I should prepare a nice dinner because she'll be home. I was just like, it's open ended. Whatever happens, happens. And on the way out, she said, you're gonna handle dinner. And I thought that meant the girls. And I'm like, I mean, I don't know. I was sure, I'm gonna feed him lunch and dinner. I'll figure it out. But, like, I didn't even.
Amy
It was Sunday. The spa's not gonna stay open for 10.
Dale Jr.
We ended up going, you know, we ended up. So this is how the day operates for me is like, I didn't know what we were going to do. When we got up that day with the. I didn't know what me and the girls were going to do. We weren't going to sit around the house. I didn't want to take them to some silly park down the street and watch them jump around on the.
Amy
You know, that won't last very long now.
Dale Jr.
And so I'm like, I don't know what we're gonna do. Well, I'm like, you know what? Let's go to Kannapolis, and I'll take him to the statue. Dad. Statue. That statue ended up. We go to the statue. Great. Had, you know, we read a plaque.
Amy
They took some pictures, which was some pictures.
Dale Jr.
And then I'm like, well, let's. Let's look on our phone. What can we eat around here? Okay, chop house 101. Reservations only. Okay, let's go over there, see if they can get us in. We walk over there. Hey, can you get us in? Yeah, we can get you in. And we sat down and ate, and that went good. And then we got up, and they're like. They saw the ice cream store, the fudge store. They're like, can we get some fudge? Great. Let's go get some fudge. And it's just like, that's just how I do it. And we ended up having a great time. And then I was. You know, Amy made it. Amy. Amy's like, man, you know, I want you to make dinner. And I'm. I won't. I'm going to be here for that dinner. So we went to the grocery store. We got sides. I tried to get some good stuff, but it was not exactly how I wanted it to be. I had some steaks out thawing, and I broiled and seared some steaks.
Amy
And he just makes it really way too much work in his head. Like, he makes it harder for himself because it's not that hard to, like, if you were going to cook yourself dinner, you wouldn't get this overwhelmed by it. But because I've asked you to, it gets so, like.
Dale Jr.
You're like, we.
Travis
We.
Dale Jr.
I was like, all right, well, guys, this will be great. We'll have. We're going to go. So we went to the statue. Lunch, Fudge. We went home, and we got home, those girls walked in the door and said, dad, we want to take a nap. I was like, great. So they all. They laid around a little bit. 20 minutes, we're gonna get up, and we're going to the grocery store. And we did something else, but we got up and we went to the grocery store. And I love going to grocery store. I love it. And so we walked around in the grocery store with a cart. We got some grapes, and we looked at this, and we looked. We're looking for sides and what can we buy? And is it got. Is it good ingredients and is.
Amy
Lord, help.
Dale Jr.
You know, this sounds awful. No, it was. I enjoy it.
Amy
The way he's describing the whole thing sounds like. Like the cadence of the day. In the mood of the day. It was like. And we got some side.
Dale Jr.
I enjoyed it.
Amy
And we looked at the ingredients.
Dale Jr.
I enjoyed it. I'm having fun. The girls are having fun. And we were. You know, we ended up getting some diet soft drinks and all that good stuff and just riding around in the cart, just checking out and getting some things that the house needed and some dude wipes or whatever.
Amy
Oh, my God, Ralph. They don't need to know that. No one needs to know that.
Dale Jr.
Dude wipes is a sponsor in our sport. What do you.
Amy
I mean, the only thing he did buy at the grocery store that was really sweet was some carrot cake I got her. That's not my birthday.
Travis
Did he buy it or steal it?
Dale Jr.
Why does it have to be your birthday? You love carrot cake.
Amy
He bought it.
Dale Jr.
I think it's like, carrot cake can be had any day.
Amy
Yeah, I know. I just feel like this isn't any higher. I know she likes imprinted now, so I'm just gonna get it.
Dale Jr.
It wasn't an entire cake.
Amy
No, it wasn't. He got sliced, and it was sliced. I mean, it was.
Dale Jr.
She said, I pulled it out of the fridge. She goes, it's not my birthday. I'm like, amy, it's just a slice of carrot cake. I know you like carrot cake.
Amy
Well, I'm not generally eating cake, you
Travis
know, dude, but it's your day.
Amy
Yeah, it's your.
Dale Jr.
It's Mother's Day. Like, you want it, but you don't want it.
Amy
I wanted my birthday.
Dale Jr.
You want to be like, you want the care in the service, but then you don't want it. You want it. You want it specifically and perfectly. And, like, when I give it to you the way I give it to you, you're like, man, it's not how I would want. That's not how I would do it.
Amy
I just don't think it's that hard.
Dale Jr.
We got fudge.
Amy
Yeah, we ate some fudge. We ate cake. We ate steak. We ate all the things. It's just. I felt like it was a little bit. Y' all didn't enjoy it as much as I was hoping. Like, it wasn't. It didn't feel like y' all were doing it. Because you wanted to. It felt like you were doing it because I asked you to, which. That's not fun. So that's. That's what it felt like.
Dale Jr.
Yeah.
Amy
Yeah.
Dale Jr.
That wasn't great.
Amy
I had a great. I had a relaxing day, but I can't.
Dale Jr.
I know what you're. I know what you mean about the vibe in the house. Yeah, the vibe.
Amy
And it was like that when I came home.
Dale Jr.
I know. And I don't. I can't. Look, I. I'm not. The girls are going to be how they're going to be, but, you know, I got. I'm in a. I've been in a mood because of some I got going on, and none of the. None of that had anything to do with you or Mother's Day. And I'm sorry that it felt that way in the house.
Amy
That's fine. But why are we still in the mood? Can we please. Can we please just be happy?
Dale Jr.
I don't know. I am feeling like.
Amy
You know what should make you happy? All the damn pickles. We bought this last weekend.
Dale Jr.
Yeah.
Amy
We went to DC to promote High Rock and meet with Total Wine and got to really. Got to like, meet some really awesome people with Total Wine, which we've been dying to do. And because we had so much time in dc, we sent Joey and Grant to the orchard to get some pickles. And this time we actually remembered to bring some for you guys to try. So we have sweet fire pickles, and then we have the garlic sea salt pickles. And now the garlic sea salt is what we always go for.
Dale Jr.
Butler's Orchard. Butler's Orchard in right near D.C. yes. Oh, man.
Amy
So can you give them to Abigail and she can take them back so they can try some? Get your jaws ready because they're about to get lit up.
Travis
I can't wait.
Dale Jr.
You might need a strong man back there to open up that jar. I'll just say that a strong.
Amy
Don't bang it on anything. That's going to chip.
Dale Jr.
Tap it on the ground.
Amy
Okay, it's open.
Dale Jr.
Okay.
Amy
It's a moment of truth. Now, I'm going to preface this with if you don't like it, don't you dare say I don't like it. Never.
Dale Jr.
I've never let you have one of these.
Amy
No, no, he's never. We've never shared them. We've talked about them over and over.
Dale Jr.
Listen to that sound.
Travis
It's got a good. That's good. That's good.
Dale Jr.
Yes.
Amy
He just smashed the whole thing at once.
Dale Jr.
It's so tart.
Travis
I love pickles, though.
Amy
Let's share with James.
Dale Jr.
Isn't it, like, a lot of flavor? That's good. Yeah.
Amy
Yeah.
Dale Jr.
It is insane.
Travis
Joey, go back. Need more.
Dale Jr.
Yes.
Amy
We got seven cases of.
Dale Jr.
We got seven cases. Yes. That's how you.
Amy
He was going. And I was texting with Hallie, our contact there, and she's like, how many do you want? I was like, how many can you spare? Like, what do you have? And she goes, well, I got this much. And I was like, give me seven.
Dale Jr.
All about it. Y. Hey, we'll bring more cans. But yeah, they're so. I. They're freaking amazing. Hard to get people that are listening to the show to truly understand how good they are.
Amy
If you're in the D.C. area, you have to go check out.
Travis
So pull them out of the fridge. I think they'd be even better.
Amy
They're so good.
Dale Jr.
I gotta be. I gotta. I gotta comment about that.
Amy
But he doesn't agree.
Dale Jr.
I don't agree with that, but shocker. No.
Travis
That's why I know I'm right.
Dale Jr.
No. So they're in the D.C. area, and we don't often go through there. And so we would kind of have to get lucky with our friend that was kind of had some family traveling through or whatever that could pick up a case. And they'd pick up one case and, dude, I'd devour them in a couple of weeks.
Amy
Dale would hide them and hide them even in the fridge. He'd hide them behind everything so I couldn't see them.
Dale Jr.
Yeah. But now, you know, we. We just decided, all right, we're just going to go ourselves. And we up and went just to D.C. for this trip to see this or see this place. And it's a big giant general store. They got apple everything you could think of.
Amy
Last year we went. It was apple season, so they had just apples galore everywhere.
Dale Jr.
Jellies and spreads and meats, and they got all the things right. And so if you get a chance to go to DC, it is worth it because there's just so much in the store to check out. But the pickles are. The pickles are worth the trip along.
Amy
Right now they're doing strawberries, so you can go strawberry pick.
Travis
But strawberry picking is the dumbest thing.
Amy
I mean, I don't like taking my kids strawberry pick.
Dale Jr.
I like. Those pickles are never going to be any better than just the way you had them open the jar room temp. Because. And I'll tell you, they're still great. But once you Refrigerate them. The cold knocks a bunch of. The tart knocks a bunch of the. The garlic and the. And this.
Amy
That thinks it makes it more mild. Like the Z.
Dale Jr.
That kick that you get initially when you eat it is. Is cut by 30% probably. They're still great out of the fridge, but man, room still really room temp is fantastic.
Travis
Yeah. This jar might be done by the. Before the show's over.
Dale Jr.
Here, we have another pickle for you to try.
Amy
This is the.
Dale Jr.
This is called Sweet Fire. Now, these are hot and spicy, but. But you might. And you might need a fork for this.
Amy
Nah, just stick your paws in there.
Dale Jr.
Well, all right.
Amy
They are.
Dale Jr.
Now these are also great, but in smaller doses.
Amy
It's my bar of soap.
Dale Jr.
Like, I can.
Amy
It's my. Charles.
Dale Jr.
I can eat. I can eat the garlic deal all day long. Those right there. I have.
Amy
Come on, Travis. You got this. You got this, Travis.
Travis
This one's on there.
Amy
You can do it.
Travis
Why was the other one.
Amy
Tap the top with something. Isn't that a thing? Like if you. Yeah, come on, Travis. Travis. Here comes Ralph.
Dale Jr.
No, he's not helping me. You stay away. No, no, because then I no go.
Amy
They're fighting over it now. Oh, my goodness. He's banging the jars together. You look like Indiana.
Travis
Go do your show. Because if you help me, then I have to live with that.
Dale Jr.
No, you do it. Take it.
Amy
Oh, he got it. He finally got it. That was amazing. He wasn't about to let that happen.
Travis
It's on the show.
Amy
Too bad it's being videotaped.
Dale Jr.
Okay. All right. Get ready for that. Sweet Fire. Yeah, I'm.
Travis
I'm going with the first one.
Amy
You like the garlic. The garlic salt.
Dale Jr.
I agree. I like the Sweet Fire, but they're just in smaller doses.
Travis
Wait, what you say, James?
Dale Jr.
That's very good.
Amy
They're both very good. Yeah.
Travis
Eat the first one. Yeah. We're. Garlic is our number one.
Amy
Once you hit the garlic ones in your mouth too, like, your whole mouth tastes like that. Yeah.
Dale Jr.
It's awesome, man. We. And you know, it's kind of like. It's like jerky boys being so good. You just can't stop talking about it. And sure.
Amy
Yeah. Those garlic sea salt.
Dale Jr.
I mean, we. There is fun to eat. It's fun to share with people.
Amy
Yeah.
Dale Jr.
As they are. Enjoy and eat. Yeah. Because you're. You know, it's going to kick their ass. But it's so good.

Travis
well, might as well mention the drink at this point. We're just getting all the oh yeah,
Amy
we forgot about our drink of the week. We've been drinking pickle juice. I haven't even gotten to our juice.
Dale Jr.
We need a pickle juice drink of the week.
Amy
We should have a pickle. Okay, so that does make a really good dirty martini and a lot of people use that. Hallie at the Orchard says she uses that for pickleback shots.
Travis
I could see. Or like if you're a Bloody Mary fan.
Amy
Oh yes. Yep, it's got some spice in there.
Dale Jr.
Yeah.
Amy
Okay, so the drink of the week but presented by hi Rock.
Dale Jr.
This is nice.
Amy
Is where are we reading? Does it have a name?
Travis
The PJ Spiked Lemonade.
Amy
Oh, this is our PGA Spiked Lemonade. So you have one ounce of PGA championship lemonade, moonshine, one ounce of high rock vodka, three ounces of lemonade, and you top with club soda. So this is a super light one.
Dale Jr.
Very good.
Amy
Easy to drink.
Dale Jr.
Yeah, pretty good. Very easy to drink.
Travis
And if you're at the PGA Championship
Dale Jr.
this week like that, I would drink that and almost confuse it with water.
Amy
That does feel a little bit too easy to hydrate. Wow.
Dale Jr.
You drink it thinking you're hydrating on a hot day. Just chugging.
Amy
We watched Blue Weekly this week. Did y' all watch? Did y'. All. Do you know who I know he is?
Travis
I didn't watch, but I'm, you know.
Dale Jr.
Well, I know Champions PGA Tour, so
Travis
it's like the Senior Tour.
Dale Jr.
Senior Tour. And it ain't easy to find. Like, I mean, I'm sure. I'm sure golf fans know exactly where it's at, but like, for somebody going, oh, I'm going to watch this. I don't watch this anymore other week. But this week I'm gonna watch it because Boo went into the last round leading and, you know, so we look, we went digging for it and I found it and I put it on. I'm like, damn, all right, we get to watch it. And it was.
Amy
We watched the last four holes.
Dale Jr.
Yeah, the last four holes. Ernie Ailes hit it in the water. I was like, I mean, no, Ernie El's probably a great guy.
Amy
But I was like, not that day he wasn't.
Dale Jr.
I was like, all right, now we got four shot lead going into the last two holes.
Amy
It was awesome, dude.
Dale Jr.
And so the story with Boo Weekly is a. He's got a freaking awesome name, Boo Weekly. And I saw a clip that you might can find on social media where he hit a 62, I believe, or a 64. It was a really, really low round score during the middle of a tournament probably about 20, 22 years ago. And he was one shot off of the course record. And they interviewed him after the round. It's like Friday, Thursday. And they're like, you know, guys are coming off the course and they're like, hey, Boo Weekley, you know, you just hit this incredible round. He's like, yeah. They're like, did you know it was one shot off the course record? He's like, no, didn't know that. I just trying to make par, you know, and he. It was literally the for. It was. It was the majority of golf fans and other people as well, because it went viral, you know, for. For. For what? Viral was in 22 years ago, it introduced Boo Weekley to a lot of people, myself included. And everybody's like, that guy's like, me, or that guy could be my neighbor, or, man, he's just a regular joke.
Amy
Just as honest and down to earth as he comes.
Travis
You see him and you're like, I could have a beer with that guy.
Amy
Yeah.
Dale Jr.
You think about these golf guys, and they're just. They just seem like they're. They're difficult, you know, they're not as approachable or excessive.
Amy
Far more serious, you know?
Travis
Yeah. Like Scotty Scheffler, great dude, family man. But, like, I'm not gonna sit there and have a beer with him.
Dale Jr.
Yeah.
Travis
Boo weekly. Yes.
Dale Jr.
And. And do you think you could walk up to him if you saw him at a tournament? Right. You would kind of be like, I don't know, man. All them golf guys are kind of like the pitchers and that are pitching the no hitter. No, you know, the. The no hitter. You know, it's kind of like, leave him alone. Well, good booze. Like the friendly. Everybody I talked to that knows Boo says he's friendliest person they've ever met in that realm, in that environment.
Amy
Yeah. And anyhow, good to watch him have that victory.
Dale Jr.
Well, we've been. We've been paying attention a little bit to him because he's trying to make a bit of a comeback. He had to. He quit golf for a while. Had a lot of injuries and stuff, and he got his personal life on. On a good. In a good place and got everything going in the right direction there, and that's made him healthier and happier. And he started playing golf again, and he joined the Champions Tour at about 48 years old or so. He's been playing there for about four or five years, probably eight or nine tournaments. He's doing okay, winning a couple hundred thousand dollars a year, making a living. And, you know, he got his card, his tour card back, and there's a clip online of that as well, where he's actually on the course finishing up his round. And they're like, this round his. Qualifies you to get your car back, Whatever all that means.
Travis
It's everything for a golfer.
Dale Jr.
Dude. He literally started crying.
Amy
Is that what they do, though? Like, they do that during play?
Dale Jr.
It was.
Travis
I've never seen it during play, but I.
Dale Jr.
He was coming off the last hole, the last green, and they lit. He was literally in tears about how hard, how much it's mean to him, means to him to have it back.
Travis
It'd be like NASCAR Take like we're taking your keys away or you can drive like it's. Without your card. You can't really play.
Dale Jr.
Knowing how much that meant to him and I mean, maybe this is like only 10, 12 months ago. Here he is leading this round and going into the la and I, I was almost scared to turn on the TV to see where he was.
Amy
He did say that out loud. He's like, I'm going to start watching this and then he's going to lose and it's going to be all my fault. I'm like, golly, dude.
Dale Jr.
I'm like, I'm, I'm turning it on. I don't, I know he's in the middle of his round, final round. I'm like scared to learn that. Is he in lead still? And I was like, Amy, it's like turning on the commanders when as soon as I start watching they start playing like. And so it's all my fault, you know, and is that really.
Amy
How do you think that way too, about your teams?
Travis
Oh, yeah, yeah. I mean, I've changed shirts. Yeah. In the middle of the game, I've, I've changed outfits. I've left a place to go watch somewhere else.
Dale Jr.
What?
Travis
It's not healthy. I know, but that's what, that's what fans do.
Dale Jr.
We turn it on and he, he's got a one shot lead. He's on 14th hole. And then we watched him win it. And as soon as he wins, his wife comes running over, hugs him and starts, yeah, she's crying. And he's like, you gotta stop. You better stop because he's gonna start crying. She's crying. She can't. They all know, you know how this is. What a story. The dude's 52 years old. Casey Kane wins world outlaw race at 44, 46, whatever he is, you know, and it's just awesome to see people that, you know, have dipped out of the, the top tier. Right. But still are doing what they love to do, right. Race golf, whatever it is, and have success doing it because they don't know that that's going to be a reality when you get out of the real deal and retire from the full, you know, the cup level or the PGA Tour, you know, you don't know if you're ever going to win a tournament again. Boo's Last win was 2013. 2013. He probably thought he'd never win another tournament.
Travis
Yeah, golf and racing are very similar and you're going to lose a whole lot more than you win.
Dale Jr.
And winning a tournament in golf is impossible. I mean, there's like 80 dudes trying to do it.
Travis
Yep.
Amy
Yeah, he is spirit.
Dale Jr.
It was so awesome. And my favorite thing that happened Sunday.
Amy
It was his favorite thing that happened Sunday on Mother's Day.
Travis
Jesus.
Amy
Thanks for lifting us up. Thanks for lifting us up and bringing
Dale Jr.
us together in the sports world. Sorry, I forgot to put that on in. That was a little.
Amy
Yes, I'm still sitting here, Ralph. I'm still here.
Dale Jr.
I'm sorry.
Amy
Please visit highrock vodka.com to find a bottle near you. There is a store locator on their website. And you also must Remember to be 21 years or over and drink responsibly. Don't forget too to check out the Dahlia at Texas Roadhouse. That is nationwide. And then we're gonna come out with bigger bottles at Total Wine and all of the distributors, they're out now. I forget what part of the bottle.
Dale Jr.
We went to D.C. and saw them.
Amy
Yes, that's true. They're on the shelves. So find your store locator. Find your store near you on their locator and check it out. So you were just talking about Boo Weekly being approachable and that people might be able to walk up to him and say hello, and he would be very nice. So that kind of reminds me of your story about the Blue Devils coach, the Mooresville High School.
Dale Jr.
Oh, yeah, coach.
Amy
Well, they sent you something.
Dale Jr.
Are you serious?
Amy
Yes. I saw your story.
Dale Jr.
Did you know this? Oh, my God. What in the hell? How do you. Did you know this?
Amy
So they've sent you a little love basket.
Dale Jr.
Oh, love basket. I love it.
Amy
That's what I'm going to call it anyway. All right, you can go through.
Dale Jr.
When did you hear about this?
Amy
Well, Travis told me when I got the.
Travis
They sent it to Junior Motorsports.
Dale Jr.
Blue Devils. Moore's a Blue Devils football. More football. We are a good football team.
Travis
It's actually a good looking hat.
Dale Jr.
I played soccer on the varsity team. I got a letter jacket.
Amy
If it made it to state, it fits me now.
Dale Jr.
Yeah, we made it to state and lost. But hey, there's a really good player on that team.
Amy
If I had known this was coming, I'd have worn it today. I'd have worn the letter jacket. It's smaller than my letter jacket.
Dale Jr.
I want Amy to wear it. And she won't.
Amy
It's dirty. It needs to be cleaned.
Dale Jr.
It's from 1990, 1955. Hopefully you can come join us for a football game this fall.
Amy
So he'll be on the sidelines.
Travis
Only thing you can call a play.
Dale Jr.
No, no, no, no, no, no. I want to say thank you to the Mooresville folks, whoever put that together. That was so nice. And I had a million things that. I had a million amazing experiences. And as a.
Travis
As a.
Dale Jr.
As a student at Mooreville Senior High. And since then, me and you've went to a game.
Amy
No, I've never been to a game. You have gifted me merch for Christmas.
Dale Jr.
Me and you went and sat down the game right behind, carrying them.
Amy
No, we were.
Dale Jr.
Who was with me?
Amy
A high school football game.
Dale Jr.
Yes. And, like, two, three years ago.
Amy
Honey, I've never been there.
Dale Jr.
Damn. Maybe it was me and Sean.
Amy
Maybe.
Travis
I can see how you get Amy and Sean confused.
Amy
I know I am forgettable, man. I'm doing something wrong.
Dale Jr.
Sitting here trying to say I am
Amy
doing something very wrong. Make an impression on this man.
Dale Jr.
I think I've just hit a lot of concrete and can't remember what I. You know, who was at the game with me three years ago. That's really what's happened.
Amy
Oh, my gosh. But listen, you can't keep blaming it on that.
Dale Jr.
Well, how the else do I not remember who was at the game?
Amy
Because it wasn't important. You got to go to the game.
Dale Jr.
I went to the game.
Amy
You remember what's important to you? That's. That's. That's a thing for everyone. You know, like, it's like it was homecoming.
Dale Jr.
It was packed.
Amy
Yeah. I was in packed.
Dale Jr.
Oh, I think it was sunny. Yeah. Thank you. To Mooresville football. That means the world to me.
Amy
Yes. You've lifted him up, lifted his spirits. I don't feel like you're blue anymore.
Dale Jr.
Well, I love. I. I'm. I'm. I. You know, North Carolina, Mooresville. I'm all nostalgic nostalgia, and I'm very loyal to. To certain things like that. And I'm glad that they sent the bag. Yeah, I pull for them.
Amy
I know you do. You know what? I don't pull for phones in the bathroom. I know that you talk about taking your phone or your iPad in the bathroom because you want to sit forever, but I was in a public restroom.
Dale Jr.
Not my iPad.
Amy
You don't take your iPad. I mean, we have a table in the bathroom. Yeah. At home.
Travis
In public are two different things.
Amy
No, no, no. I'm saying you do that at home.
Dale Jr.
I'll take my iPad in there and say, set it up.
Travis
Yeah, that's fine.
Dale Jr.
I don't watch old races.
Amy
Listen, that's. That's one thing. I was in a Public restroom recently when we were out of town going to the bathroom and there was a lady in there using the restroom. There were noises, but she was on her phone.
Dale Jr.
You can't just say there were noises.
Amy
There were noises.
Dale Jr.
You had to explain. What, what type of noises?
Amy
I. I think that we can just assume the noisy pooping noises. Well, there's the bathroom. There's all kinds of noises. You know what I'm saying?
Dale Jr.
Yeah, but there's no washing hand noises. Was there toilet paper noises?
Amy
You just don't know what kind of noise is going to happen in a bathroom. And she had a phone call going that you could hear the person speaking. So I don't know if it was an earpiece or she had her phone, but the person on the other end of this phone call likely was hearing all of the bathroom noises happening around her while she was in or from her. You know, she was sitting in the stall next to me and I just found that to be so appalling. Like, I know I'm a prude with bathroom and then things, but that took it to a whole nother level for me. Have you ever had that experience or do you have. Have you ever done that?
Dale Jr.
Answered the phone whilst I was using bathroom.
Amy
Whilst you were making noises in the bathroom.
Dale Jr.
It's funny, I mean, you, you. It's funny you say that because, like,
Amy
nonchalantly, just having a conversation.
Dale Jr.
Listen, I called a friend of mine the other day and he answered the phone while he was in the bathroom. And I thought, all right, how did
Amy
you know he was in the bathroom?
Dale Jr.
He said it.
Amy
Okay.
Dale Jr.
I said, hey, pal, what's going on? He's like, I'm in the bathroom using the toilet. Okay, well, alrighty, here we are.
Amy
See what I mean? There's more of you.
Dale Jr.
And I'm like, well, I'm in. I'm in the car with Isla, with my family.
Amy
We're in the drop off line, just in case you need to mute your end. Oh, my gosh.
Dale Jr.
But yeah, so that's the thing people are doing. I guess I'll see your person talking on the phone and. And raise you. Do you have a friend that answers the phone while they're taking a dump? It's like. Or whatever they're doing, right?
Amy
Yeah. I guess they're at the same breed.
Travis
I hate when people are just on speakerphone or FaceTime in public.
Amy
I agree. So annoying.
Dale Jr.
I am not gonna answer the phone while I'm in the bathroom.
Amy
No, I'm not either. Don't call me. I probably don't have my phone in the bathroom either, though. Well, yeah, Like, I'm damn sure I would be the person if I got that thing out anyway. In a public restroom, I'd probably drop it in the toilet. Like, I always have a disaster with my phone. No, I'm.
Dale Jr.
That is a danger when you have the.
Travis
I did that once in college. Dropped it in a urinal.
Dale Jr.
Did you leave it in there?
Amy
Did you just leave it and walk away and just tell it. Bid it do?
Travis
Luckily, it was after. After I flushed. So I did.
Dale Jr.
Like, you flushed it, thinking that was going to be good enough?
Travis
No, it's. After I flushed the urinal, I dropped it in there, and so it got washed out.
Dale Jr.
No, you ain't talk. You ain't. No. You ain't talking your way out of this.
Amy
No, it's disgusting.
Dale Jr.
It's gross.
Travis
Oh, no, I didn't say it because
Dale Jr.
then you probably wiped it off and then you put this up to your ear.
Travis
No.
Dale Jr.
Fifteen minutes later, I went out.
Travis
I went out to a random person.
Dale Jr.
How's it going? I knew. I don't know what happened today.
Amy
Yes, I'm coming every Sunday. Oh, yeah. Yeah.
Travis
I had to call my dad because it's the only phone number that I knew.
Amy
Oh. Because it wasn't working.
Travis
And so I asked a person outside, like, hey, can I borrow your phone? My phone's broken.
Dale Jr.
Wait, you dropped it in there and it ruined it?
Travis
Yeah.
Amy
Dang.
Dale Jr.
Urinals full of pee or water. What?
Amy
We don't need to know.
Dale Jr.
Most urinals are dry.
Amy
How long ago was this?
Travis
College?
Amy
Oh, yeah, it's forever. See, the phones weren't resilient. You can drop them in the swimming pool now. They don't. They don't care.
Dale Jr.
Yeah, good point.
Travis
And so I only knew one number, though. So I had to call my dad at, like, I don't know, 11:30. Whatever. Like, hey, can you call one of my friends and tell them, like, I'll meet him here? Because.
Amy
Oh, really? Your dad was coordinating the rest of your journey for you?
Travis
So I was like, I like, call Drew, tell him going back to his apartment.
Amy
Like, oh, my gosh, what a good dad.
Dale Jr.
I tell you, man, I'm still not. I don't know that you can ever get used to walking down the street. So I think we were. We were in Kannapolis Sunday, walking just down the street, and a guy comes walking by, talking, and it just takes you a second to realize they're on the phone. That is so. That little second right there when we were Kids.
Amy
And there was a guy walking down the street talking to himself. Your mom would pull you closer, like, hey, man, there's something wrong with that guy.
Dale Jr.
That's what you do.
Amy
That's what the feeling is.
Dale Jr.
Like when I've. The very first split second. Is that thought.
Amy
Yeah.
Dale Jr.
What the hell is going on? Okay, girls, get close. Yeah. Where you at, Isla?
Amy
I know. So that's embedded in it.
Dale Jr.
It's like a. It's like click. And then you're like, oh, on the phone. But same thing.
Amy
Like in an airport, there's so many people.
Dale Jr.
Startling.
Amy
Yeah, I guess it's startling.
Travis
Airport's a little understanding. But, like, you're at the grocery store and there's people with headphones in. I'm like, can you not walk around the grocery store without headphones in?
Amy
So I've seen that. I said that to him recently. Yes. Agreed. The headphone thing, I don't get that either.
Dale Jr.
Well, I think I.
Amy
People that drive their cars with headphones on.
Travis
Yeah.
Amy
Which has to be illegal. Like, you can't hear the things you need to be able to hear, like sirens and whatever. Just things you're supposed to react to. Why are people doing that?
Dale Jr.
I think it is dangerous to ride in your car with, if you're driving and operating a vehicle, to wear headphones or anything that's going to be noise canceling or whatever. But, yeah, I think. I think we all agree there that that's not exactly how you ought to do it. It's like when you're riding a road bike, you don't. You don't wear earplugs and stuff because you need to hear cars. You need to hear things happening around you, coming up behind you and all that. But walking, I think when Amy said that, and I've seen it, too, people be around, you know, pushing their grocery carts in the grocery store with headphones on. You know, you got to remember, like, a lot of people are, you know, podcasting. They're finding ways to get their favorite bless your heart episode in. You know, they're like, stop it.
Amy
You can listen to that some other time. You don't have.
Dale Jr.
I need to incorporate. I need. I can't get my favorite bless your heart episode this week. You know what? I can listen to it at the grocery store.
Amy
Are you trying to make this make sense? Grocery shopping, people doing this?
Travis
Just listen on the car ride.
Dale Jr.
Well, I'm just saying, what's the point? They're not there to talk to people. They're not there to do nothing but get their Groceries. So why can't they listen to whatever they want?
Amy
It's so weird and impersonal.
Dale Jr.
Like, I don't agree.
Travis
Feels antisocial.
Dale Jr.
I don't agree.
Amy
Social.
Dale Jr.
I don't agree. I think they're already. I mean, when you're walking around a grocery store, everybody's in zombieland anyways.
Amy
Nobody. No, that's not true. Like, I. If somebody walked past me in the grocery store and we made eye contact with, like, hey, how are you? Yeah, I don't. Same thing as, like, that car wave situation that you've been explaining. I know the person with general kindness, the person.
Dale Jr.
I'm only. I'm not going to do a hey, how are you? I'm going to nod and smile and. Which is interesting because I do all of the waving and everything else. Driving up and down the street, Like, I'm so personal personable. But in that when you're in your
Amy
car bubble and then when you're actually out in the wild, you don't want to speak.
Dale Jr.
I do speak to people, but in the grocery store, you know, they're on a mission. They're there to do their shopping. And a lot of. A lot of times people in grocery stores don't have, like, present a pleasant demeanor. They don't. They're like,
Travis
they're there to do a job.
Dale Jr.
The grocery store, but not everybody does. A lot of people don't even like going in them. And so a lot of people that are in there aren't, like, loving the experience or excited about, you know, getting all this, that they got to get
Amy
on because they're there, like, two or three times a week.
Dale Jr.
Right.
Amy
More than you.
Dale Jr.
And so. Yeah, exactly. And so I'm not gonna be like, oh, hey, I'll, you know, bubbly and happy when everybody else ain't feeling that way. But I think if I was going in the grocery store two or three times a week, if I was, you know, a dad or a mom, and that was my role, and I'm doing that all the time. Put on some headphones, listen to a podcast, music, whatever. I don't think it's a big deal. You can still smile, wave.
Amy
I think it's weird. I stand by it. I stand by that opinion. I think it's just weird to be in public and close yourself off like that. I don't know. Headphones are for by yourself.
Travis
Yeah.
Amy
Taking a walk outside, like, that's headphone time.
Dale Jr.
Gotcha.
Travis

Amy
That Christopher Walken video, it's not his song. Whose song is it?
Dale Jr.
You could go with this, you could go with that. You could be with this, you could be.
Amy
Do you remember that video?
Travis
Yes, yes, yes.
Dale Jr.
Where he's dancing.
Amy
Christopher Walken's dancing around.
Dale Jr.
Yeah. Huh.
Travis
Fat boy slim.
Dale Jr.
Yeah. Fat boys. Christopher Walken is a treasure.
Travis
So first question is, would you rather be each other's gym partners or workout solo?
Dale Jr.
Solo.
Amy
Solo.
Travis
I just feel like better off.
Amy
Too much.
Travis
Be separate.
Amy
Dale grunts Too much.
Dale Jr.
Oh my God.
Amy
I'm just kidding.
Travis
When's the last time you worked out Dale? In the gym.
Dale Jr.
When's the last time I worked out?
Amy
I don't know.
Dale Jr.
About four months ago, three months ago, maybe. I get these little. Getting these little spurts where I'm, like, gonna do it maybe two weeks, maybe four weeks, whatever.
Amy
He has these little programs he'll pull up on his phone where the app tells him what to do, and it prompts him to do all the things, and he'll do that. And once he gets to the goal, he's like, okay, done.
Dale Jr.
I just. I don't have a routine. It's hard to stay.
Amy
He's never been one to work out.
Dale Jr.
It's hard to stay at it. I do enjoy it, though.
Travis
That's why I had to do one where, like, I go to Orange Theory. Cause I need someone to, like, tell me what to do and, like, kind of push me a little.
Amy
Orange Theory is hard.
Dale Jr.
Yeah.
Travis
I enjoy it, though.
Amy
Yeah.
Dale Jr.
I like riding my bike. I have an indoor bike. I have my road bikes for outside. I like riding bike.
Amy
Either way, the road biking thing is such a weird. Has such a weird stigma. But it is so fun. Dale and I have done that together, so that is one thing we do together.
Dale Jr.
Weights.
Amy
And you don't really. But you don't really talk to each other. But it's fun to do. To do the road bikes. I have an E bike because I can't keep up.
Dale Jr.
I love being outdoors, exploring, riding around on the lake.
Amy
You see areas you don't see. Just riding around town.
Travis
Yeah. I don't think that's the same as, like, going to the gym.
Amy
Really? Going to the gym together like that.
Travis
Yeah. I don't. I'd rather do it all.
Dale Jr.
I despise running.
Amy
Yeah. I feel like everybody around you despises running. Nobody's running.
Travis
Yeah. Next question is, would you rather be the couple that hosts the party or disappears early at the party?
Dale Jr.
Damn.
Amy
Can I be both? Host the party host and disappear early?
Dale Jr.
Hosting.
Travis
So you want to disappear early?
Dale Jr.
I hate hosting.
Amy
Why do you hate hosting?
Dale Jr.
Because it's a. There's pressure.
Travis
You got to get the place clean.
Dale Jr.
Nope. There's pressure that it's fun for everybody, that you're. You gotta make sure everybody's having a good time, make sure the music's right. All the. You know. You don't love it either. Like, when we.
Amy
I do love it. I don't. So here's the thing. We have a different version of what's important when we're hosting. I wanna make sure that everybody's got enough food, that there's Water. There's things. And Dale just wants everybody to come over. And he's worried about music and the entertainment part of it.
Dale Jr.
The vibe.
Amy
Yeah. And so if I start getting out catering and what? He's like, oh, my gosh, this is way too much. I'm like, not really. You have 30 people coming over here. What if they need something to eat? So we've always just disagreed about that part of it. But he's. Everybody always used to come over. We've always hosted.
Dale Jr.
I don't mind. We did disagree. We don't anymore. I'm fine with the. I'm fine with, like, feeding everybody. I used to always think so. I was like, man, we're all. Everybody's coming over to drink. Yeah. We're not coming over here to eat a full spread.
Travis
I can drink.
Dale Jr.
I'm like, we are here to drink. And you know what? The less eating, the better.
Amy
Yeah, I mean, I understand that.
Dale Jr.
And then Amy comes into my life and she's like, hey, when everybody comes over there, I'm gonna have some tacos. I'm like, no, I'm gonna have some hot dogs.
Amy
Yeah. So we got a hot dog machine, too, from the old hauler. And so, like, I had the roller. I would just keep hot dogs down there in the fridge and have buns in the freezer and I could get them out because inevitably, around 10:30 or 11, everyone was starving and people were still wanting to hang out. Like, a hot dog's not going to throw your whole night, but you need to have a little food in there. That thing was so good.
Dale Jr.
I'll tell you. We used to. She's. Yeah, all that's true. I miss it, man. We. We used to sit down there and we used to have friends. It was some of the best nights down there, downstairs in the basement were when one or two people would. Like when Sean would come over and we just listen to music and laugh and he'd watch him dance and.
Amy
Yeah, Sean's always.
Dale Jr.
Sean was always. Sean was. Sean's a dancer. Like, when he loves to dance by
Amy
himself, he doesn't need a partner.
Dale Jr.
He's just forgetting this whole thing.
Amy
Wiggling.
Dale Jr.
Yeah, but. And we would just laugh. Those are some fun, fun nights.
Amy
Yeah.
Dale Jr.
Yeah.
Travis
I do love an Irish goodbye, though.
Amy
Yeah. So Dale used to Irish goodbye at his own party to Scope. That was his. That was his move.
Dale Jr.
Yeah, but I mean, at 2, 3, 4 o'.
Travis
Clock.
Amy
Yeah.
Dale Jr.
Like, not. Not midnight.
Amy
No, not midnight. But there were still people around.
Dale Jr.
Yeah, but I mean, damn, it's Time.
Amy
No one's arguing with you on that. I just think it's funny. Like, he had Irish goodbye at his own house.
Dale Jr.
Yeah.
Amy
Just disappear.
Travis
All right, next question. Would you rather try something new or go back to your. A spot that you know you love?
Dale Jr.
Spot that I love. Probably need to try.
Amy
I want new. I want new. Yeah, I've been seeing all these cute little dive bars too, in South Carolina and, like, little pockets around where our beach house is.
Dale Jr.
Different.
Amy
Different little spaces. Yeah, we need to, like, explore.
Dale Jr.
Yeah, I'm down with that.
Amy
New. Old spots.
Dale Jr.
Yeah, I'm down with that. I. I agree that that's fun. Yeah, that is fun. It's hard. It's hard, though, man. You're like, oh, it's just. It's just easy to go to this spot. It's just down the street, you know,
Amy
it's gonna be reliable.
Travis
You know, a good drink or a good meal and you're just like. Yeah, it makes sense. Next question. Game night or movie night?
Amy
Movie. You're gonna say game, aren't you?
Travis
Like a board game, though?
Dale Jr.
I think I'm gonna go game night because our girls are getting us, you know, Isla, they're getting old enough to, like.
Amy
They like to play games. They do.
Dale Jr.
Yeah. But, like, we weren't. We've all. It was always Candy Land, and. And so.
Amy
Well, I've been playing Yahtzee with them.
Dale Jr.
Well, right. Isla's getting old enough to where you could kind of get her to play some, you know, some middle of the road, simpler, adult, you know, games like Monopoly and so forth. Maybe not Monopoly, but she's getting close.
Amy
Yeah.
Dale Jr.
And if you just kind of dumb it down a little bit where it's not real complicated.
Amy
Yeah.
Dale Jr.
I would try. I think, you know, we need to try to encourage or explore doing some game game nights with the kids. Not, you know, go Fish.
Travis
And I feel like Sequence could be a game that. Because there is some strategy, but it's also as simple as whatever card you have, you can lay a chip on that spot and you. You lay the card down. So.
Amy
Okay, I've never heard that one.
Dale Jr.
Yeah, so, like, I like Sequence.
Travis
I mean, if something's a little simpler, I like Life.
Amy
Uno.
Dale Jr.
Oh, remember the.
Amy
Yeah. So like Life and Monopoly. Those were, like, not my favorite.
Dale Jr.
I like them.
Amy
I don't like the strategy games.
Dale Jr.
I do. I like Life and Monopoly. Life is kind of, you know, just luck of the role. It's not really like Monopoly was more. I mean, you're rolling dice, but, you know, you kind of had to strategize on what houses you're gonna buy and where you were going to put, trade and do all the things. But life might be a game there they could play because you kind of. It's kind of like Candyland, like an adult Candyland. Life is. Is it to me. Yeah. Because you can't. You' going around this path just like Candyland. And you get married and you have your kids. Remember, you put your little kids in the car.
Amy
I don't think I've ever.
Travis
Oh, yeah.
Dale Jr.
Are you kidding me?
Travis
Would you go to college or do you get a job?
Dale Jr.
Yes.
Travis
That was always the first.
Dale Jr.
You get to the first choice and it's like job or college.
Amy
Oh, really?
Dale Jr.
And then it split. The road splits. And then you get married. You put your little girl or your boy. You get kids.
Amy
Is this meant to scare children? Is this a tactic?
Dale Jr.
It's life.
Travis
It's like you have to buy insurance.
Dale Jr.
Yeah.
Amy
Oh, my gosh.
Dale Jr.
It's. But it's. It's.
Amy
It sounds depressing.
Dale Jr.
Oh, no. Yeah.
Amy
Okay. He sounds like we need to.
Dale Jr.
He's not doing a great job.
Amy
He's. He's. No, he's on your team.
Dale Jr.
Yeah. Yeah.
Travis
Remember Clue and. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
Amy
We've played Clue with Clues.
Dale Jr.
Who done it? You know?
Amy
Yeah, I played.
Dale Jr.
I've played Clue with the butler in the pantry with the hammer or crowbar, whatever.
Amy
I feel like that one would be more Nicole's vibe. She likes that kind of thing. Like spooky.
Dale Jr.
Never know. Yeah.
Amy
Trying to.
Dale Jr.
Yeah, I would love to do those. Play those.
Amy
Sounds like that's what we're doing.
Travis
I always played Monopoly, but I had the NFL edition, so they were all teams.
Amy
Oh, that's more fun.
Dale Jr.
Damn good. There's Monopoly.
Travis
At the time, it was the Broncos and the packers were the. The two best ones.
Amy
The two best ones. Yeah, we have a big Monopoly board.
Dale Jr.
Yes, we have a very professional.
Amy
It's wooden. Couple of things. Big box.
Dale Jr.
We have like a. Yeah, nice. Comes in a big. It's a. It's got drawers and for the money and everything.
Travis
Damn.
Dale Jr.
Like, it is. It is pro board, like for the profit. The prep is like the board the professionals play in the. In the Monopoly league.
Amy
Is there a thing.
Travis
No, there's like a big, like.
Dale Jr.
Yeah, the National Monopoly League.
Travis
There's like Monopoly tournaments.
Dale Jr.
The national. I think this one's actually the Champions edition. I'm just kidding. There's no such thing.
Travis
There is like, Monopoly tournaments, though.
Dale Jr.
I'm just kidding.
Amy
He picked it up at the Geek symposium.
Travis
The world at the world.
Dale Jr.
You're a geek, you blame it off. Oh, my gosh.
Travis
Speaking of food, soft or hard shell tacos?
Dale Jr.
Soft.
Amy
Hard.
Travis
I'm with Dale on this one.
Amy
He likes soft corn. And I like. I like soft flour.
Dale Jr.
Soft porn.
Amy
Porn. Wow. Did you not hear her, James?
Dale Jr.
She said soft corn.
Amy
Damn. We lost James before Dale even responded.
Dale Jr.
Did you think she said it? No. James nodding.
Amy
I've got too much Botox in my lip and I can't even say the words right.
Dale Jr.
He likes soft porn.
Amy
Corn. Golly.
Dale Jr.
I like soft corn.
Amy
Soft corn tortillas.
Dale Jr.
Oh.
Amy
Instead of hard tacos, we're talking about tacos, guys.
Dale Jr.
Who eats the hardcorn?
Amy
God dang, I'm out. I mean, I'm out of here. Going home.
Dale Jr.
Like,
Amy
we can't even talk about tacos. The girls like crunchy tacos. It's the only way I get them to eat tacos.
Dale Jr.
I can't. I do not know what in the hell people are thinking that, like hard
Travis
tacos, it just falls apart.
Dale Jr.
Dude, as soon as you bite into it, it is destroyed. It is not a taco anymore.
Amy
You think that people that like hard tacos are just, like, crazy people?
Travis
Yes.
Amy
Really? Well, me and my kids are crazy.
Dale Jr.
I just think you should just get some nachos.
Amy
Well, I love nachos, too. Like, don't hold out on me. I love a nacho.
Dale Jr.
Hey, that's basically what a hard taco becomes after the first bite.
Amy
Yeah, sure.
Dale Jr.
Plate of nachos.
Amy
Yeah. That's how I got Nicole to even eat nachos. Giving her crunchy tacos. It fell apart and Isla looked at her and said the exact same thing. She's like, oh, now you got nachos. Coley, you like nachos, too? She told. And she's like, oh, okay.
Dale Jr.
It's a massive disappointment when you open up the bag and they put the hard. You put your taco in a hard shell and not the soft one, and you're like, well, this ain't gonna be as good as I thought.
Amy
Golly.
Dale Jr.
Yeah.
Travis
All right, let's get off this topic. Last one. Would you rather binge watch your favorite show or watch one episode a week?
Amy
Oh, binge watch.
Dale Jr.
Yeah, binge watch.
Amy
That takes a lot of patience.
Dale Jr.
I'd rather eat the whole bucket of ice cream.
Amy
Yeah.
Dale Jr.
Instead of one bite a day.
Travis
See, I like that. Just. I know, like, Wednesdays at 8, Tuesdays at 7 or whatever.
Dale Jr.
Like. Yeah.
Amy
Were you a TGIF kind of guy?
Travis
Yeah. Like, I remember. Like, you remember the show 24.
Dale Jr.
Man, you ain't no fan of 24, are you?
Travis
Love 24.
Amy
What's 24 about?
Travis
It's like a serious Kiefer Sutherland. Yeah, he like saved the world.
Dale Jr.
It's like a serious drama, like a Hill Street Blues.
Amy
I feel like that's when we were having parties in the basement. Those. That's like the bar.
Dale Jr.
We were. We were raising hell.
Amy
We were raising hell and you were watching TV.
Travis
Well, yeah, I was 24. 16. Sorry I wasn't raising hell.
Dale Jr.
24.
Amy
What a loser watching Kiefer Sutherland. So sad.
Travis
Well, that's it for this.
Amy
Is the game over now?
Travis
Well, that was the last question.
Dale Jr.
Now you know how it feels.
Travis
Now you guys are the old ones. Now I'm gonna go raise hell and you guys are gonna be in bed.
Amy
By you damn right I'll be in bed watching Kiefer. You go have all the fun.
Travis
Amy's gonna go binge. 24 men 50 and older are you making constant trips to the bathroom to pee, struggling with weak flow, or waking up all night to go? These are common symptoms of BPH or enlarged prostate. BPH can really impact your sleep, your energy and your quality of life. According to the American Urology Association, 50% of men will have enlarged prostate symptoms by age 50 and 90% of men will experience it in their lifetime. You don't have to be stuck on meds or face major surgery to find relief. Safe, effective non surgical treatment options exist. That's where the i10 procedure comes in. ITIN is a minimally invasive procedure designed to reshape prostate tissue and relieve symptoms with no cutting or permanent implants. Recovery is quick and can allow you to stop your prostate meds. Take back your nights and your daily life. If you or someone you love is experiencing symptoms of BPH, don't wait. Talk to a urologist or visit itin.com to learn more about whether the ITIN procedure could be right for you.

Amy
Hi, guys. Dale and I are in the Dirty Mo Media studio for another round of Ask Amy. What you got for us, Travis?
Travis
First question is, what do you think about people that have social media accounts for their pets?
Amy
Ooh, I like it. I don't mind it. I have. I have followed a few.
Dale Jr.
Weird.
Amy
You think it's weird?
Dale Jr.
It's weird.
Amy
I. I don't think it's that weird. It's fun. Everybody likes to look at pets and fun. Like, there was, like, a cat video thing for a while. Everybody watched cat videos. Now, like, if you have a friend that's got a cute little doggie, you can watch the dog.
Dale Jr.
There's two types. Well, there's. Maybe it's okay if you're just sharing. Like, I think it's fine if you're sharing what the. The dog's doing. So let's say, say it's a dog or farm animal, whatever, Right. Or, you know, there's all kinds of pets that people have, and maybe people. There are people even rescue crazy, like, wild animals. Right. And raise them up. That's fun. I like that. I want to, you know, if you're. If you're just. Here's your dog's social media account and you're just posting photos of the dog.
Amy
Right.
Dale Jr.
Great. But when you start posting as if you are the dog, and I know.
Amy
I don't like that.
Dale Jr.
No. Good.
Amy
Yeah. So I think that's super weird. I think it's. Honestly, I think it's weird when people do that in general. Like, for anything with. With anything.
Dale Jr.
Yes.
Amy
Like, if you're posting as if you're the animal or you're like a kid or like, if there's a couple and like, it's being posted, posts are being made where it looks like you're posting for the other person. I don't like it. I feel like that's. It's obvious or first of all, so you're not fooling anybody.
Dale Jr.
It's strange.
Amy
And then I'm just annoyed. Yeah. Leaves me feeling a little weird.
Travis
I don't like joint accounts.
Amy
I don't either.
Travis
Don't like that either.
Amy
I don't understand.
Dale Jr.
I don't run across that often.
Travis
I think it's less prevalent, like it used to be. I don't know how I feel about that.
Amy
I think it used to be more popular just because, like, maybe he wasn't even on social media and they just would share things together.
Dale Jr.
I don't know.
Amy
Not really. I think younger people do.
Dale Jr.
Yeah.
Travis
This next one comes from the chat. Bryce wants to know, I need to buy groomsmen gifts. Any ideas for a groomsman? Guess. He said, I think maybe a duffel bag.
Dale Jr.
What you need to buy groomsman's.
Travis
Yeah.
Amy
That's what you got gifts for your groomsmen? I'm pretty sure.
Dale Jr.
Yeah. So groomsmen like, power tools. I know you're gonna laugh. So, like, a freaking badass drill with a bunch of attachments or.
Amy
I feel like a flask. Like, an engraved flask.
Dale Jr.
The flasks thing. I don't get that.
Travis
And so it is.
Dale Jr.
Davis gave us a flask a year ago. I'm like, I've never used a freaking flask in my life. I get one of these, like, once every five years, and I'm putting it in the damn cabinet with the other 10 I have, and I'm never gonna use. I'm never gonna. I'm like, who's the last guy you are.
Travis
I've got two as gifts, and they're cool when you get them, but you never use them.
Amy
In your backpack pocket next to your big phone.
Dale Jr.
If I invite you to a party and you come in and. And you pull a flask out and go, hey, what's going on?
Amy
Y. I'm gonna be like, it's giving out weird.
Dale Jr.
You're weird.
Amy
You're.
Dale Jr.
You're the weird one. Like, it's not 1920.
Amy
Okay.
Dale Jr.
You're not wrong.
Amy
We're gonna put the flask up there with your harmonica and then, you know, find you something more prevalent, like a power tool.
Dale Jr.
Yeah, I, like, give me a power tool with a lot of attachments, because every day a guy needs a damn screwdriver and a power. You know, a power drill. Or like, you had me put something together today in the garage, and it's like, man, when you get a new toy, it's a toy, and.
Amy
And it makes everything so much easier.
Dale Jr.
Makes everything easier.
Amy
A yeti cooler, like. Or another cooler, like. Yeah, there's so many cool ones now. Speakers.
Travis
I think the duffel bag. Especially, like, if your groomsmen are like going to be traveling to your wedding. Like you get it to him before.
Amy
And everybody shows up with the same cute duffel.
Dale Jr.
I don't. I don't know, man.
Amy
The same matching bag, duffel bag. Does the duffel have their name on it? Like their initials on it?
Dale Jr.
Listen, that falls short of the, the importance of the, of the moment. Getting married is one of the best decisions you'll ever make in your life. And you're. You're only going to do this once.
Amy
So it's not big enough. Okay, get the power tool, put it in the duffel bag, put the flask on the end and maybe put like a thank you note, like a letter, like a handwritten note. I know girls like that kind of stuff. I don't know about guys, but like something, I don't know, personal inside. Give it all to them.
Dale Jr.
Given there's, if you know a really, really damn good book, like, so that could be a couple of things you could do. A power tool with attachments, a badass book.
Amy
A book like the Bible.
Dale Jr.
No.
Travis
What the.
Dale Jr.
Just listen. A book works when it's paired with multiple things. You can have a bag full of shit that's awesome to give. Look you.
Amy
How about some beef jerky?
Dale Jr.
Your buddies want a lot of cool
Amy
weekender with all the weekend things.
Dale Jr.
Throw a bag of jerky in there.
Amy
Maybe some vodka.
Travis
If you give me a book for being in your wedding.
Dale Jr.
Did I just tell you that I'm giving you a duffel bag with a power tool? Book jerky. Multiple things. Come on.
Amy
What else can we put in the bag?
Travis
Just give them Wendell Jr's ride is
Amy
what you give him a Tahoe, Give him the keys to a brand new Tahoe.
Travis
Give them all the things that go in the top.
Dale Jr.
Guys like, you know, guys like. Is alcohol. Alcohol, but a good electric razor. Yes, sir.
Amy
Is that a weird thing to give another man?
Dale Jr.
Yeah, I don't think so. Because it's hard to find a good one. Dude, I'll go, I'll buy electric razor. And not three out of four times
Travis
it's bought one in.
Dale Jr.
Well, a lot of people don't use them. Not every guy does. Some guys still use, you know, I've
Travis
never used a straight blade. Just always electric.
Dale Jr.
I tear my. I get all tore up when I try to use a regular razor.
Amy
Me too. I like electric.
Dale Jr.
Yeah. Or you know. Yeah, you could do trimmer. You know, so if they got facial
Amy
hair, give them too so they have one to share with their significant other.
Dale Jr.
I don't Know, I'm just trying to think of things that I use daily that I'm very, you know, that I like, that I like and want someone else to have, because it's probably gonna. Something they like.
Travis
Eric said he just bought them their suits for the wedding.
Amy
Oh, that's nice too.
Travis
That's a really nice suit.
Amy
Especially if you buy it, because then they own it. And that's a great gift.
Dale Jr.
I would. If I was the. One of the groomsmen and. And you just bought the damn suit I wore to the wedding.
Amy
I'd be like, really? A lot of people appreciate that. Don't listen to him.
Dale Jr.
I ain't gonna wear this again. When am I gonna wear this?
Travis
A suit?
Amy
But listen, if you have to wear this specific suit, and especially if you're never gonna wear it again, wouldn't you appreciate not having to pay for it?
Dale Jr.
Oh, don't you.
Travis
You have to rent it, which is still going to be a couple hundred bucks.
Amy
I mean, I was renting or renting it.
Travis
You can rent. Well, you sometimes rent, right?
Amy
What?
Dale Jr.
Yeah, they rent.
Amy
Yeah. I mean, but still, it's expensive.
Dale Jr.
I don't know, man. I want something practical I can use every day.
Amy
God dang. I feel like I need to get you a power tool now. Do you need a new drill?
Dale Jr.
No.
Amy
I feel like you do.
Travis
One person said some cigars.
Amy
Cigars are big.
Dale Jr.
I don't smoke.
Travis
I don't smoke them.
Dale Jr.
So I'll be like, who am I gonna give these to? I gotta re. Gift that.
Amy
Why are all of the traditional gifts from the twenties like cigars, flasks.
Dale Jr.
Oh, you see, hair.
Amy
You know what I mean? We need some new traditions.
Dale Jr.
We need to get them all those little popcorn hats, you know, little flat white hats that look. You know what I mean?
Amy
Do the foot thing again.
Dale Jr.
You know what I'm talking about?
Amy
This. Oh, my gosh. Do we have another question?
Travis
Next question is, what's your go to at the table?
Dale Jr.
Circle guy.
Amy
The go to app for the table?
Travis
Yeah, to order for the table.
Amy
Depends on where we are. But chips and salsa obviously is like number one.
Dale Jr.
Guac.
Amy
Guac. Like the dip. The dippies. I don't know. Where are we? What restaurant are we at?
Dale Jr.
Yeah.
Amy
Fried pickles, always bread.
Travis
Have you tried frying these?
Amy
No, we haven't. We would dare put fried anything on those.
Dale Jr.
They have shrimp cocktail. That's absolutely.
Amy
But you don't dare try to share that with him. He will eat your finger. He. He orders it just for himself.
Dale Jr.
Yeah, I. If I. I do not I do not prefer to share apps.
Amy
No, he doesn't. What?
Dale Jr.
I don't.
Amy
It has to be previously discussed before he even gets it. Hey, I want a bite of that. Can I have it? Not. Not. Don't wait till it comes to the table first.
Dale Jr.
I do. I do share. Like, we, you know, I know some apps come out, and I'm like, yep, I'm not. I'm not eating all of it, and someone else is gonna eat some of it, and it's just the way it is.
Amy
But it's a matter of cleanliness. Like, he doesn't want to keep. He'll get the whatever and put it on his little plate. He's always been like, shrimp cocktail.
Dale Jr.
Like, I don't want to share that. I don't want you reaching over and I don't want to. I don't want to share shrimp, peeled shrimp with anybody. Weird.
Amy
Is it because the shrimp are naked?
Dale Jr.
It might be. Might be because of that, but. And edamame.
Amy
Oh, yeah, that's another good one.
Dale Jr.
If we go to eat. If we go in the store and sit down and eat sushi and I order edamame. I have ordered that for me not to share.
Travis
Now does the table know?
Amy
Yes, we already. We are. We order our own.
Dale Jr.
I'm not gonna say it out loud.
Travis
You just, like, order apps, and it's.
Amy
No, he doesn't preface that.
Travis
Okay.
Amy
No, no, no, no. You just have to know that when you go eat with Dale, it comes.
Dale Jr.
I bring it into my space, and that's my signal.
Amy
And he hovers over there.
Dale Jr.
Keep your hands off.
Travis
Somebody wants to know, is buffalo shrimp an appetizer? Is that your dish?
Amy
That's a dish.
Dale Jr.
That's a dish.
Amy
So buffalo shrimp, too. Especially in Key west at the raw bar. It comes in its own little basket, and we all order our own.
Dale Jr.
Yeah.
Amy
Mostly because they're so good. We don't want to just have one. We want to have the whole basket.
Travis
But what's your take on peel and eat shrimp? Because I think it's. I don't want to work for my food.
Dale Jr.
Yeah, it's a lot of work.
Amy
I think they're good, but the same. I don't really want to do all of that mess. Especially hard to out.
Dale Jr.
Hard to get rid of the smelling. You get it all over you.
Amy
Your fingers are just old bay under your fingernails. Yeah, it's a mess.
Dale Jr.
They're good, though. They are, but it is a lot of work. I mean, when they. If they have already. When they got buffalo shrimp, why bother Right, Exactly.
Travis
Next question. Amy, what's one interior design that was popular that you were like. I don't like.
Amy
What's one interior?
Travis
What design?
Amy
Like, a style?
Travis
Yeah. What was something that was, like, popular that you were like. Nope.
Amy
I'm kind of over the farmhouse thing, to be honest. Like, everybody just has the exact same house.
Dale Jr.
All the white.
Amy
Yeah, all the white. Wardenbatten white farmhouse. I feel like I'm really happy about. Everybody calls it dopamine design. Like dopamine dressing. Dopamine design. Like, just buy what you like and try to figure out how to procure it together so that it's just more fun and vibrant. I feel like that's really fun in general, but I don't know, I just get bored with all of the tan and beige and neutrals.
Travis
What about shiplap?
Amy
Yeah, so that's kind of in that farmhouse thing. Like, it's the Shiplap. Like Joanna Gaines, when she started that. Yeah, it was wonderful, and it does look streamlined and clean and nice. But they just got bored with everybody's houses looking exactly the same, so that's it.
Travis
What's your take on the barndominium? Barndominiums.
Amy
I think barndominiums are cool. I think they have their place. I feel like they're smart. And especially if it's, you know, it's efficient is what it is. And so if you have toys you want to put in the back and you need. So there's a barndominium at the Ohio property that's basically what you have, and it works for, like, the hunting property. But I've seen some really cool ones here.
Travis
Yeah. Next question here is, what's your stance on joint bachelor bachelorette trips?
Amy
No, if you have to do that, you shouldn't be getting married. I think people that do that, it seems like it's a red flag, you
Travis
know, it's like a trust issue.
Amy
They don't want to. It's a trust issue usually. I mean, if you're older, if it's, like, second marriage or whatever or the destination wedding is happening and you want to do it, like, I don't know, in the same area, that makes sense, and that's not a problem. But if you have to do it because your bride says, you're not going to the strip club without me. Right. Then you probably should just not. Dale, does it have.
Dale Jr.
I mean, I don't. I think it's silly. Like, you should go and do your own thing.
Amy
Enjoy your time.
Dale Jr.
Yeah.
Amy
With friends.
Dale Jr.
Like, I felt like. I feel like that it is the, you know, the, your friends, the groomsmen, the, the bachelorettes, it's their job to like take you somewhere and, and show you a good time and y' all have fun and remember, reflect and share stories and, and, and tell each other how much you care about each other and all that stuff. And don't. You're not, you're doing that separate. Yeah, right. That's there. It's the groomsmen. If, if the, if y' all end up at the same place, the groomsmen and the, the, the girls failed.
Amy
Yeah, I feel the same.
Dale Jr.
Right.
Amy
I feel like it just changes the whole vibe.
Dale Jr.
You can't let the grooms and the bride have any input that like getting. Being taken to somewhere you would have never thought to go.
Amy
Yeah.
Dale Jr.
And they should handle the accommodations and they should, they should, you know, it should be the, that should be their gift to you. Right. To celebrate you.
Travis
Oh, so you're saying the grooms at whatever locations up to his groomsmen.
Amy
Yeah, I feel like that used to be the way it went and then like all of a sudden the bride and the groom got involved and now like the bride and especially because social media became a thing, everybody has to like have the coolest party. So like the bride gets involved and decides where she's going. Now everybody has to go figure that out.
Dale Jr.
Should get together and all make the decision where you're going, where you're taking your buddy who's getting married and what, what are you all going to do, what you're going to experience. And that should be, that should be what it is.
Amy
Yeah.
Dale Jr.
Same thing for the, the girls.
Amy
I feel like it's getting out of hand to what we're doing. Like it used to just be a night. It used to just be like something close. You didn't have to be like Costa Rica or Anguilla. Like it didn't have to be that. Of course. That was amazing. But like they don't have to be that extravagant.
Travis
Who wants to have a one night party because you're just doing it in
Dale Jr.
your hometown then I remember that's what
Amy
people used to do.
Dale Jr.
Yeah, I know. I do now remember like hearing back people doing the overnighter or something.
Amy
Yeah.
Dale Jr.
Yeah. Wow. I forgot that was a thing.
Travis
That seems dumb.
Dale Jr.
It does seem dumb.
Travis
Now you can only go wherever is close to wherever you live. What if you live in.
Dale Jr.
I know, I agree. But that's Amy's right. Like the majority, like if you. We jump back 30.
Amy
It was just a party. It wasn't A trip. It wasn't like a weekend. It was just night in that wild.
Dale Jr.
Yeah, now my. My mind is totally like. No, it's got to be a trip.
Travis
It's got to be at least a two night, three night trip.
Dale Jr.
Yeah, but it used to be like a bachelorette party one night or bachelor. Bachelor party. You're going. Taking your buddy to the strip club. Raise hell yeah. Wow.
Amy
Simpler times.
Dale Jr.
Yeah.
Travis
I've never been to a strip club.
Amy
Good for you.
Dale Jr.
Ever.
Amy
And you are a golden child, man. Gold star for Travis. Are all these. Are all these questions from you?
Travis
No. No, no.
Amy
Are you getting married?
Travis
No. Let's see here. What's one food you couldn't live without?
Amy
Cheese.
Travis
What kind? We gotta narrow this down.
Amy
Cheddar cheese. I know the basic cheese. That's me. My favorite thing is a bean and cheese burrito. Like a bean and cheese quesadilla. Like beans and cheese. That's what I ate growing up. My favorite
Travis
basic.
Amy
Yeah. What's yours?
Dale Jr.
I mean, I could live without anything. I could just move on to the next thing I like.
Amy
What? That's not the question.
Dale Jr.
Well, what's your favorite food? Well, I love buffalo sauce.
Amy
Well, that's not a food. It's a condiment.
Dale Jr.
I know, but if it didn't, if it was gone, if it was taken from me, I'd just go to a one or something.
Amy
Okay. Are we gonna live with that?
Dale Jr.
If it was ice cream, like, I don't know. I don't have a. I don't have something that's like that high on my list.
Travis
That's interesting.
Amy
Steak.
Dale Jr.
I could do without it.
Travis
See, I love steak, but I don't have it that often.
Dale Jr.
I like it.
Amy
Really.
Dale Jr.
I like to eat it, but I could make sure I can make do
Travis
if you took tacos away from me.
Amy
Tacos?
Travis
Yeah.
Amy
Yeah, tacos would like as a food. Yeah, tacos.
Dale Jr.
I feel like after a period of time I would just forget that it even existed.
Amy
Tacos is my go to thing to make. If I can't make anything else or if I've got a bunch of foods that I feel like don't even make sense together. I make them in a skillet and put it in a shell.
Dale Jr.
Yeah.
Amy
Like tacos is just like always at the top of mind.
Travis
Or pizza. That's.
Amy
Yeah. But I could probably do without pizza.
Travis
No, I couldn't.
Amy
You couldn't?
Travis
No. I probably have it at least once every two weeks at the longest.
Amy
Oh, yeah, we have pizza like probably
Travis
more like once a week.
Amy
Yeah. If I Didn't have kids. I wouldn't have pizza so often. Like, before kids, we didn't eat pizza that much.
Dale Jr.
I bought a bunch of those at the grocery store. They didn't have the ones. The green wise ones, but I got some others.
Amy
When Dale goes to the store, he gets frozen pizza. A very. A large amount of whatever he likes. He forgets the storage capacity of the refrigerator or the freezer. He buys in bulk, and he's not at the bulk store either.
Travis
Do you have a chest freezer, though?
Amy
Yeah, we do.
Dale Jr.
So we have plenty of options to.
Amy
We just have to scatter them all around the house in all of the different areas.
Travis
You forget that they're in.
Amy
You open it, you're like, surprise. Another pizza.
Dale Jr.
Frozen pizza. Like, it keeps for a while. So, like, buy five, and now you don't have to buy one for a bit. Yeah, but we got plenty.
Travis
Somebody here said crab legs is what they couldn't do without.
Amy
Gross.
Dale Jr.
That's like, oh, my gosh.
Amy
Okay.
Travis
That's a choice.
Dale Jr.
I have a crab legs.
Amy
No, don't. Don't tell it.
Dale Jr.
I do. I gotta do it.
Amy
That's why I feel like, this is gross.
Travis
We're live.
Amy
Just remember the name. We were at home eating crab legs. We had them shipped in. It was a gift from someone, and we had some company over to help us eat this large amount of crab legs. I had steamed them in the oven as directed. And then we sat down to eat, and we had the cracker. The pincher things to crack them open. And the person sitting across from me saw that I was having a hard time and decided to help. So he cracked a bunch open and then just dangled the meat across the table until I ate it. And Dale looked at me, and he's like, yeah, you gonna eat that? Whoa. God, that looked good. Oh, my God. I'm gonna die. So.
Dale Jr.
So this. This person's hands were covered.
Amy
Touched and touching it, they were covered
Dale Jr.
in, like, crab meat.
Travis
Yeah.
Dale Jr.
Debris.
Amy
All the shrapnel that comes out of it, all that.
Dale Jr.
And they pull this meat out of this thing. And he's like.
Amy
It almost slurped in my eyes.
Dale Jr.
And they're like. They're like, here you go, Amy.
Amy
I was like.
Dale Jr.
And I'm like, I'm good.
Amy
He's, like, looking at Amy. I'm like, yeah, no, no, that's helping. He's helping you.
Dale Jr.
Yeah, yeah, you gotta eat that.
Amy
It was so, so bad. And now. But we're both equally traumatized by it. We haven't. I haven't eaten a damn crab leg since.
Dale Jr.
I haven't either. I mean, we have. Was awful.
Amy
Yeah.
Dale Jr.
It was so, so gross.
Amy
Yeah. In our own home.
Dale Jr.
Could you, like, take crab meat out of someone's hand and eat it?
Amy
Another grown up gross.
Dale Jr.
No.
Travis
If your fingers have touched the food that, like, I'm gonna eat, like. No.
Amy
Yeah. All over it. Paul did the whole thing. So Dale was terrified it was gonna happen to him, too. So he was cracking the hell out.
Travis
That's what you should not. Amy is like, dale, it's your turn.
Dale Jr.
I could not get up from that table fast enough. I was like, yeah, I'm full, man. This is great. That's good. So, y', all, next time, I'm gonna start cleaning up.
Amy
Party's over.
Dale Jr.
Yeah, I was in. I won't tell. I was in Phoenix. Not Phoenix. Memphis. We had just ran a race at Memphis Motorsports park in Xfinity Series 1999. I think I run second, and I'm about to clinch the championship. Or maybe had clinched it, I guess, or. We're in good shape. Near the end of the year, we're in a great mood. We are in the car, driving out of this racetrack through traffic. I am in the car with Larry McReynolds, of all people. I think he was working the booth or something that day. And in the back seat is a very good friend of mine that I was racing with. I don't want to name his name because it's up to him to really reveal his. His identity. But he's in the back seat, and it's a guy I raced with that day. He's in the xfinity race with me, and he's coming home. He's riding back with me. We're all going back home, and we're stuck in a little bit of traffic, and a race fan recognizes who's in the car, and a couple people start coming around the car. Hey, man, good job, y'. All. Good race, everybody. Yep, yep. We're just on. Yep, yep. I appreciate it, man. Sign a. Sign a postcard, whatever. This fan, this guy walks up and he's holding hot dogs with his bare hands.
Amy
Gross.
Dale Jr.
And he says, y' all hungry?
Amy
Never been more full, actually.
Dale Jr.
My buddy in the back says, I am hungry, actually.
Amy
Oh, no.
Dale Jr.
And took the two.
Amy
You learned nothing.
Dale Jr.
Took the two hot dogs.
Travis
Just a hot dog. No bun.
Dale Jr.
Out of this guy's hand. No bun.
Amy
Two hot dogs from this random person
Dale Jr.
out of this man's hand and instantly ate them. And then instantly. I mean, before we get on the plane. He is throwing up all over the place.
Amy
Why? Because of what he was thinking. He thought about when he was.
Dale Jr.
I don't know. Either he. Either the thought of it or it actually did make him sick. But I was just with this guy the other day. We were laughing about this. But he's.
Amy
He's still traumatized.
Dale Jr.
No.
Amy
Is it his crab leg? Can he eat hot dogs?
Dale Jr.
That's his.
Amy
That's his crap.
Travis
I'm go over here and feed you a pickle.
Amy
Oh my gosh. That would be similar. Probably a little less gross because it's not meat.
Travis
That's disgusting.
Dale Jr.
That is so good.
Amy
Yeah, I don't.
Dale Jr.
I can say that I've.
Amy
I don't think we've eaten crab legs since.
Dale Jr.
I haven't eaten grab legs. I'm not getting. Gotten sick and like, like that. I haven't ever. I don't get sick.
Amy
He's the perfect man, though. He doesn't get no.
Travis
Yeah, we learned last week. Yeah, they broke them. I can't broke the mold.
Dale Jr.
I remember the last time I threw up. It was about eight years ago.
Travis
I threw up less than a year ago.
Amy
I'm not. I mean, I'm good. We're not.
Travis
This is a hotel in Nashville.
Amy
Oh, gosh. Oh my gosh. All right. Do we have any more questions? We don't need to check.
Travis
That's a good way to end the show.
Dale Jr.
Okay. I mean, we still have anybody watching.
Amy
No, probably not. We're done.
Dale Jr.
We're out.
Amy

Host: Dale Earnhardt Jr. & Amy Earnhardt
Produced by: Dirty Mo Media, SiriusXM
In this spirited and candid episode, Dale Jr. and his wife Amy return to the “Bless Your Heart” segment for a laid-back, behind-the-scenes discussion about family life, marriage quirks, divisive food preferences (including their famous taco debate), and everyday etiquette. Together with producer Travis, the couple shares humorous stories from Mother’s Day, reviews the best pickles ever, deep-dives on sharing (or not sharing) food at dinner, debates about public phone habits, and answers listener questions on everything from social media for pets to the best groomsmen gifts and interior design turn-offs.
Dale Jr. remains as unfiltered and homegrown as ever, while Amy delivers punchy honesty and warmth—as they bicker, laugh, and ultimately agree to disagree (especially about hard shell tacos).
