Narrator/Producer
The following is a production of Dirty Mo Media.
Amy
Oh, yeah. This is the way it's going to be, girl. 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
Working that mouth. All right. Hi, guys. Dale and I are in the Dirty Mo Media studio for another round of Bless yous Heart. Let's get started.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
We're gonna have to go through the cards.
Amy
I mean, at this point, I feel like everybody needs to see what your little black box looks like.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
It's ain't even the best black box. Of all the black boxes that I
Amy
have, you have more.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
You have multiple black boxes just identical to that one. We have a lot of cards of value. It's a big collection I have.
Amy
Is there like a bunch of cards in there or is it just like a couple?
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I don't see it. Now you're curious. Now you want to see in my black box. You didn't even want to see in it earlier. You didn't want me to bring it in here in the room.
Amy
Yeah, I have a hard time taking it seriously. But if you want to show your
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
black hospital, you have to take it seriously.
Amy
Go get your black box.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
No, I'm not.
Amy
It's so shiny. And he had it sit in the middle of the dining table the other day, perfectly centered. It's the only thing on the table as if it was the centerpiece. And I walked by and just laughed like, this is what we're doing now.
Travis
He takes it everywhere. It's like his blankie.
Amy
It's his new purse security blanket. We should have security following him around.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
This is a box that you have
Amy
when you have overdone the cards, collect
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
cards, and you have cards of decent value, and you just want them to be in a box. This is the box you have. So.
Amy
Yeah.
Travis
How many cards are in there?
Amy
Crush him. Steal the cards.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
It's not even half full, probably. I don't know. There's probably about 150 cards in there. Oh, but my best card in this box right here, and I just found this. Got this one recently. Is this Bo Nix.
Amy
He pulled. You pulled this? You bought this? How'd you get this?
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I pulled it out of a pack. It's a color wheel. Bo Nicks, one of 10. It's worth about sitting right here, right now, about 3,500 bucks.
Travis
And so I said, let's get it somehow. Let's find a way to get it signed.
Amy
I don't want it signed. And Dale literally got panicked.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I don't want it.
Travis
I think that's what Cinnamon said.
Amy
Physically, like, almost seized up standing here.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
He was like, no, I don't want it signed. I like it the way it is.
Travis
But doesn't it add value?
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I don't think. I don't know.
Amy
Most signatures on something make it more valuable.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
That's. That's something for me to make to. To con. That's something for me to consider.
Amy
See short circuiting over here. He's like, I can't.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I can't.
Travis
Yeah, it becomes more valuable. Like, I just. AI just said it.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
So I've been.
Amy
How many things have you signed in your life, y'? All?
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I have been. I got back into collecting, and I have hit two really big cards, and it was that Ken Griffey Jr. Downtown, and this card and all the other cards that I've been landing are decent, but nothing crazy. And so let me just think. Let me just sit tight for a minute.
Amy
Let me just hold it.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Just let this sink in. It's kind of like.
Amy
Hug on it for a minute.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
It's kind of like winning a race. I need a few days for it
Amy
to sink in before you watch.
Travis
Wait, so when you want to race, you wouldn't. You wouldn't celebrate or anything immediately after, would you? You'd let it sink in, and then I celebrated. Okay, so let's get the sign and celebrate.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I'm not signing it. Signing it is not related. Yeah, I don't know about that. I don't know about signing it. I think I need to send it off to get it graded.
Amy
Wait, would you want to sign first before you had it graded?
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I mean, you can always bust it out of the. Out of the slab. If you ever wanted to get it signed, you could do that, but I don't. I'm not interested in getting it signed. I just like it the way it is. I pulled it out of the pack. That's the way I, like, got it.
Travis
I would go get it graded first
Narrator/Producer
if I give it to the guy.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
So if I hand it over to Bo Nix and he signs it and he's.
Amy
What if he smears it?
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Well, no, but he could. He could damage the edge or. Or soften a corner. I'd be pissed. Not that Bo Nicks would do that
Narrator/Producer
on purpose, but I'm just saying the hand just.
Amy
Everybody's in trouble.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
It trading hands and all this. No, it could. No, I got it.
Amy
Okay. You just hang on. Hang tight onto that box.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Hanging tight to it.
Amy
Don't let it get out of sight.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah.
Amy
Speaking out of sight, we have a good drink to sip on today, presented by High Rock. It is called the Sundrop Spritz, and it is a very fun drink because you can drink it right out of your can. You have 2 ounces of high rock vodka, 2 ounces of sundrop, and a splash of lime juice. So super simple. You can garnish it with the cherry if you like. Very refreshing.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
That is really good.
Amy
Wow. Dale's so surprised.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I am, because.
Amy
Is it the can that throws you off?
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
No, no, no. I expected it to taste like Sun Drop and vodka, which I've drank a lot, but it has. That's whatever.
Amy
Lime.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
The lime juice.
Amy
The lime cuts it.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yep.
Amy
It's super refreshing. We could pound those in the pool, couldn't we?
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
About 12 of those.
Amy
About 12.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I don't know if I need the sparkling water because it's already got Sundrop in it.
Amy
Well.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Oh, Sundrop is my sparkling water.
Amy
Yeah, well, I forgot about sparkling water.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Part the sun. The Sundrock is North Carolina's sparkling water.
Travis
I'd never even heard of Sundrop.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
If you want some sparkling water in North Carolina, they gonna hand your ass some Sun Drop.
Amy
Sun Drop? Forget about your water. Your soda water. Here it is, bud. Yeah, it's delicious. Don't forget to check out highrockvodka.com to find a bottle near you. You can use the store locator and find all of the Sugarlands products plus Hyrak vodka. Don't forget. You also must be 21 years or over. Please drink responsibly.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
That's right. Me and Amy went to Nashville Sunday. Texas Roadhouse was having a big national Sales meeting. All of their operators and owners were in the building. Over 2500 people easily. And we got up in front of them and celebrated the new, somewhat new, the dahlia drink that we've had on the menu. It's been on the menu and I don't know about a third of their stores for the last year, year or two. What's going nationwide now?
Amy
Yes.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Last week you can go. If you sit down at a Texas roadhouse anywhere in the country, there'll be a drink menu on the table. Our drink will be right there, front and center. The Del. Yeah. Is a creamsicle esque drink with high rock vodka. It's delicious.
Narrator/Producer
It.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
It's kicking ass everywhere they sell it. All of the Texas roadhouses have, have had a lot of success with it. And so that's why they're taking it all over the country. And so, yeah, we were out there celebrating the, the launch of, the national launch of the drink with them. So that was a lot of fun. Texas Roadhouse, they're a great group.
Travis
The best.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
They're an incredible company.
Amy
Very family oriented.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Treat their folks so nice.
Amy
Yes. And everyone we met that owns a restaurant in their area is kind of has that similar vibe. Everyone just really down to earth and great.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
They're. They're just regular people and we met all of them and they take great care of their, their operators and so we're really thankful to, to get to a partnership with them. So.
Amy
Yes. And the drink's delicious. And if you haven't been to a Texas roadhouse soon, visit one and try out.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
You're missing out.
Amy
You are missing out.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah, it's a great drink.
Amy
I got a random question. So you and I are driving home from the airport from that visit and it's kind of hard getting through Troutman to turn off to get home. Traffic's gotten really heavy through there.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Right at the Waffle House there.
Amy
Yes, at the new Waffle House. So we're turning left across traffic and the seas part and let's. Dale gets to go through and this lady basically like stopped just to let him go. And instead of just like giving him like the handover, the steering wheel, like the common wave or like little baby tap on the horn, Dale does all the things. He waves like Forrest Gump. He toots his horn and he like gives her a high five, thumbs up. Like he did everything he possibly could to thank her for letting him through. I'm like, wow, that was a little extra, don't you think? He's like, what I want to make sure she knows I'm thankful.
Travis
I appreciate it. Because if someone doesn't, even if I don't see away from them, I'm mad at God.
Amy
I know. Like, I'm down for acknowledgment. I totally agree. But he overdid it so much. We're holding up traffic now because he wants to make sure she's looking out of her window and saw all his mannerisms. I'm like, that was for him especially too. I'm like, what was that?
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Why am I singling me low key
Amy
and laid back when it comes to most things? Like, you're like Mr.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Cool.
Amy
Like, yeah, I'm gonna wave off. I mean, you used to be. Maybe we graduated out of that. Maybe people.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I think I'm anxiety ridden and high strung.
Amy
You are. But you usually don't, like, let it fly out of your body like that. Like every freaking orca I think I walk around was flying through the air in that moment.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I'm like, big bundle of emotion. That's me.
Amy
Yeah, well, it all was visible in that moment. It was pretty damn funny. What's the proper way?
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
So listen, listen, listen.
Amy
I don't like getting my. I don't like getting a horn honked at me. I got to tell you, it makes me annoyed even.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I got.
Amy
It might be a nice honk.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
This is how. This is. This is how. This is how my life changed behind the wheel of an automobile.
Amy
Okay, like, we got heavy.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I've had a lot of moments in my life that were defining, defining moments with the steering wheel in my hand. But. When I was 20, roughly, my dad had me drive a race car for a man named Gary Hargett. And he lived down in. Near the South Carolina. North Carolina line, near Paisland, and coincidentally lived in. He lived in town Marshville, which is famous for God dog, the country singer.
Amy
Marshville.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Marshville.
Amy
Gosh. Man or woman?
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
You met him at the. At the Luke Combs concert. He's the great. One of the greatest country singers of all time.
Travis
Randy Travis.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Randy Travis.
Amy
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
So Randy Travis from. From Marshville.
Amy
I didn't know that.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
And, oh, I've heard some Randy Travis stories. He was a wild kid. He was in his teenagers, teenage years. He was wild in Marshville. But. So I'm a punk kid, you know, I'm a punk kid. Head banging to my. My stone temple pallets and nirvana and all that stuff. And hitting, you know, playing mailbox baseball out of the bed of my pickup truck, throwing exit cars and just a punk. And no one. I've driven a car since I was 16, and no one anywhere around where I live waved. Waving on the street. It wasn't a thing. But when you get about 6 to 10 miles outside of Marshville, everybody on the road starts to wave. And I would drive down there every Wednesday night. I worked at the dealership changing oil, and I would drive to Marshville an hour from my house every Wednesday night. And then back home, I'd work on my car for a couple hours and I'd drive back home. And then I'd go down there every weekend to go race with Gary. We drive. Drive the hour to Marshville, then we go to the beach, three and a half hours down the street and race and come home. So there's a lot of driving to Marshville. Lots and air. It never failed. You get within 10 miles of town limits, everybody that drives by just pops a hand up everyone. And it gets more and more frequent and consistent. And I loved it. And I was like, man, why isn't. Why are these people down here waving at total strangers going down their street? And then you get out of this area and up toward where I live, and everybody's complete. Nobody wants to engage or acknowledge anyone. Everybody's just like anybody. I don't care about your day.
Amy
It was like that in Texas, too. My dad always waved at people, and I remember him waving at people, but it was like the. And he'd do it. It's like somebody in the back window could see it.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I waved at a guy today. Let me in. I was downtown Charlotte, driving around that damn maniac town. All the traffic going on and people trying to get over and get this, get right and get left. And everybody's trying to get out of the gasoline, you know, And a guy let me in, and I'm. I'm like, man, I really appreciate it because I was in a spot, but
Amy
I get really nervous now. If I just put the hand up, like the basic hand up, that somebody's gonna think I'm flipping them off.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah.
Travis
Oh, you know, if they're flipping you
Amy
off, you should feel it for sure. But I just wouldn't want anybody to think I'm doing that well out of nervousness.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
So I feel like that there is not enough of that in this world. There's not enough kindness.
Amy
Basic kindness, just general.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Hey, what's up? Not nice. Just a hand on the steering wheel. A little finger, not whatever. Something small and easy. And so I do it all the time. Driving down our road especially, yeah, I just Feel like there needs to be more. That's just a small sample of some of what this. What we need more just in the world is just that, hey, what's up, neighbor? Kind of mentality.
Travis
Don't live in Connecticut, then. Yeah, they don't. You walk by someone, you'll say hello, and they're just head down, walk and like, the East Coast. Live up there at Northeast. It's like, yeah, it's hustle and bustle.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I hate that for them.
Amy
I hate that for them, too. That's a good way to put that.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I hate that for them.
Amy
They're not choosing Joy, that's for sure.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
But, I mean, I. I go to Boston. I know some great people, Massachusetts, and some really nice folks all over the country. But, yeah, there's little pockets, you know, where.
Amy
Yeah, it's more like get a little
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
bit more of that than normal. Yeah. But I, I. So, you know, we are driving down the road. Traffic is gridlock stopped for about two miles all the way back to the interstate. I'm trying to turn across lanes in on. Onto this road that'll take us home. And the person stops and lets me go through. She wasn't going if she didn't stop, she was just going to move forward. Half a car. I mean, she just, you know.
Amy
Yeah, traffic was stopped.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
She wasn't going anywhere. So it wasn't like she did me this massive favor. But it's just like, hey, I see what you did.
Narrator/Producer
Thank you for doing it.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Thumbs up, high five. If I could, you know, back slap. Maybe give you a hug, half hug.
Amy
He would have every. He was very excited in that moment. I just was like, wow, I can't believe that's really affected you.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
So sometimes in a better. I mean, plus, sometimes people are in better moods, and I'm that way. I get up in bad moods. Great moods, middle moods.
Amy
This week's been a roller coaster, man.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I was in a mood today is
Amy
shoes and a shirt match, as Travis said.
Travis
Yeah, I saw that walk in. I go, we're in a good one.
Amy
We're in a good mood. Everything's matching.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yesterday, I was in a really bad mood.
Amy
He woke up wanting to eat someone alive. Yesterday I almost texted him, like, don't eat someone today. I did text Stefan. It's like, hey, man, he's on the chin.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I hate that y' all are talking about me behind my back.
Travis
Do you guys.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
And you could have kindly included me on that text. It would have been funny. I'd have been like, no, I'm not You know, we could maybe, but no, Now. Now I'm. I'm just gonna assume that you're always talking behind my back. Whoa.
Travis
Don't me. I was not a part of this.
Amy
Always talking behind your back.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Who knows?
Travis
I was not included in this.
Amy
He was.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
He might be the next one.
Narrator/Producer
You might be in the next.
Amy
Just text Stephan, because you were. You had. I just knew you were coming up here to do your show, and. And he's usually meeting you in the lobby to, like.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah.
Amy
Get you to sign something or do something. And he was gonna be your first good morning. And I was like, he doesn't need to take this, too. I'm just going to text him. Heads up.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah.
Travis
Are you guys quick to hit your horn when you drive? No, because I've realized that.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
What do you mean, hit my horn?
Amy
Like, using it to.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah, I don't ever use my horn.
Travis
I think it's a problem for me.
Narrator/Producer
I don't ever.
Amy
A horn honker.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah, dude, that's a. That is a problem.
Travis
That's rude, because I give you, like, a pregnant pause at the light, and if you're not moving, if those light. If the brake lights haven't come off. What?
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Hey, let me.
Amy
That happens to me all the time. I'm the person you're honking at. You probably actually at me at the light, and I'm like, hey, there is
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
a moment where this does feel fine because the pregnant pause needs to be long.
Amy
Where did y' all come up with that term, by the way? The pregnant pause?
Travis
It's when I think it's when somebody tells you that they're pregnant. That's that pause where you, like the awkward. Isn't that where it comes from?
Amy
I don't know.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
No, it's a. It's a pregnant. A large pause.
Amy
An embellished.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
It's a bloated pause.
Amy
Bloated. My God, I hope you get roasted for that.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I probably could edit it out. We're not loaded paws, but, like, pregnant. A bloated paws. Whatever you want to call it. A large paws. An extended paw.
Amy
Extended paws. I get it. I get it. I get it. I get it. I get it. I get it. I am one of those people.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Well, look.
Amy
But also, I'm not gonna honk at someone. I will sit through a whole freaking light cycle.
Travis
Oh, no.
Amy
In that big of a scene.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
So listen, everybody's on their phones, and.
Amy
Well, sometimes I'm slinging chicken nuggets, and I. Yeah, I'm pregnant. The hell out of that line.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Sometimes you're sl. Slinging your chicken nuggets. But if he. If you're sitting there, light goes green. 1, 2, 3. I think at 3, you can do a horn, but it's got to be a beep.
Amy
Yeah.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
It's got to be a quick one.
Amy
Yeah. If it's. I get the long.
Travis
I don't hold the horn.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Longhorn.
Amy
Longhorn makes you want to get out of my window.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Rude. On any occasion. Longhorn is rude any. The only time you're allowed to use your horn and it be a kind like suggestion is the.
Travis
It's like a. Excuse me.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah, that's right. Hey.
Narrator/Producer
Hey, pal. Hey, pal.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
All right.
Travis
But all I look for is if the brake lights come off, I'm good.
Amy
Yeah.
Travis
I don't need you to be like, jumping. As long as he. The brake lights come off, I'm not hitting the horn.
Amy
Yeah.
Travis
Now I do hit the long one. Like, if you're getting cut off on the highway.
Amy
Yeah, yeah. Like, you gotta let them know safety. You can use the longhorn. Use that for sure all day.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
My go to in that moment of.
Amy
Do you want to tell him about our freaking Uber ride the other night?
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
My go to when somebody cuts me off is this is the gas it. And get up beside him and then stare at him.
Amy
He's that aggressive race car driver, I don't think. And he's also mashing the gas but looking straight at you. He's not looking at all where he's going.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I don't hit the horn, which I probably should just hit the horn instead. But I'm wanting to get. I'm wanting to make eye contact with him. So I'm like, what the. And. And I'll get up there and I'll be like, what. Hey, what you doing?
Travis
You know, arm out.
Narrator/Producer
Like.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Oh, yeah.
Amy
That's so Yankee of you, Ralph.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Oh, my gosh. We were driving down the road. We. I think this was on one of our first shows. We're driving down the road. We're coming home from the beach. Been driving for hours. We get into Charlotte and this orange chart Dodge, orange Dodge Challenger kind of car, like, literally raced around me. And as the. The lane was ending, they cut across my nose. And I mean, it was close, and I floored it. Like, I was. I was going to get him. See, this guy. Me and this guy were going to have a conversation. And Amy's. And Amy's like, as soon as I.
Amy
I've never seen him act like that.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
As soon as she heard the engines accelerate, she goes you got kids in the back.
Amy
Yeah. Mayday.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Like, oh, yeah.
Amy
Just a friendly reminder.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I totally forgot they were all in
Amy
the car in here.
Travis
Dale thought it was turn four. He's going for the checker.
Amy
You did. Here I come.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I was like. I was like, no way. You ain't doing that.
Amy
So sometimes when I get my horn, a horn honked at me. I, I feel like that. I'm like, you've caught me in the wrong minute. I am distracted for a bad reason. Somebody's in the car wanting something or whatever. And then that happens. I'm like, oh, my God. Somebody's going to get it, and it's going to be the guy behind me that's honking his horn. Yeah.
Travis
Can you imagine if you, you pass Dale and he pulls up and you're
Amy
like, that's Dale Earnhardt Jr. Yeah, that's happened before. Not because he's trying to be aggressive, because there was a situation on the road, but there have been, There have been people kind of sliding up and down on the highway because of that. You know, you're passing each other. You're passing the same people, really, all the time. Especially from South Carolina to here, back and forth, you know. So that's happened a few times.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I love that. We'll. We'll. When I'm driving from the beach, it's a three and a half hour drive. And so I have. There's three things that will entertain me on this boring ass drive, right? There's three things, and one is as soon as you pull out the driveway, you see on the. I do the, you know, the map. The map on. On ways. So it'll say, all right, your ETA is this time. And I'm like, all right, I got a challenge accepted. Yeah. Got to see how quickly I can cut that.
Amy
Shave a couple numbers off.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Shave some numbers off. The other one is miles per gallon. So I'll be. I'll be trying to run fast while not using the gas pedal unnecessarily to try to make sure the fuel is. Because when we leave the house in South Carolina to go home, we are going to get home in with a full tank. In the Suburban, we're going to usually have about 40 miles left on the tank. And so I'm always trying to get like 60 miles.
Amy
Yes. So traffic's bad, too. It's like real.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I'm always trying to, like, do really good on the gas mileage. And the third thing that is entertaining is if you're, if you get, get in a. If you're if you're with a car that's in the same. Running the same pace as you and y' all are on the road for like hours, you. You never make eye contact. There is no communication whatsoever between either driver. But it's. But for some reason you feel like you both are working together.
Travis
It's like tandem drafting.
Amy
Unspoken team situation. We. We just became best friends on the road.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
We're. We're bl. We're breaking the law by 10 mile an hour. It's time for you to leave for a while, man. Yep. All right, I'll leave for a while. You leave for a while. You know, it's not.
Travis
That's perfect.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
When you're on a cruise, we got to minimize our. Our risk of.
Amy
Cruise control's not allowed because that ruins your mileage.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah.
Amy
That ruins your gas mileage.
Travis
Wait, cruise control ruins the gas mileage?
Amy
Yeah, because it always runs really hard to get.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Like, in my mind, I can do it better.
Amy
I feel the same. Yeah, I feel the same.
Travis
Yeah, I love cruise control.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
When you're, you know, when you're speeding 5, 10 mile an hour over the speed limit and you got a couple guys around you that are kind of doing it too, it's kind of like, all right, boys. It's kind of, you know, somebody else leads every now and then.
Amy
Yeah, we're doing a dance.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Let's kind of keep it, keep it.
Amy
Shit.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
You know, keep them. They don't know who to catch, they
Narrator/Producer
don't know who to pull over.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
There's a lot. It's all of us doing this, you know, There's a lot of strength in numbers.

Amy
Yes. I gave Travis. So he went down to Charleston last week and I gave him a short list of places that we like to hit up, and he went to one of our favorite restaurants on the island, the Longhorn Longbourn.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah, it's amazing.
Amy
And so there is this corn salad on the menu that we are obsessed with. There's like this limey tangy dressing. It's corn salad, corn, arugula, onions.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
It has arugula in it.
Amy
Yeah, he didn't even see the arugula. That's like I ate arugula.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
That's the one dish arugula in it
Amy
that I eat that he actually likes because he have. Yeah. Otherwise you're like, get that out of my food. And it's delicious. And so Travis, of course, has been instructed to order the corn salad. And he gets there and there's Nothing. No corn in the building.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I didn't know that. They only sold it during certain hours.
Travis
The bartender said they had like seven different menus depending on the time of day.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Unreal.
Amy
I didn't know that. They must have. That must be like a newer thing.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I thought orange salad just is universal. It should be on there all the time. It's one of the best dishes on Sullivan's Island. The corn salad at the longboard.
Amy
Yeah.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Is one of the best things you'll eat.
Amy
And it's supposed to be a shareable thing. And Dale gets it and like, literally puts his arm around.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I get it. And I'm like, get what you want?
Amy
Yeah. You get a couple spoonfuls out and then I get what you want.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Right now I'm taking the rest.
Travis
I thought about just name dropping you to see if maybe I can talk them into making a. I would have texted the owner.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Damn.
Amy
I knew too late.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Now you gotta go back.
Travis
Yeah, I just have to go back, which, I mean, I had a blast.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
How fun is it?
Travis
Like did Charleston on Friday, which was fun, but I'd rather do Shems Creek or Sullivan's Island.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah, we haven't done Shems Creek a bunch, but it's got a lot.
Amy
That's where the wreck is.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
A bunch.
Amy
Well.
Travis
Oh, it went to the wreck. Per your request.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
The wreck couldn't get in.
Travis
The outdoor area was closed for a private party.
Amy
Yeah. That's just a shame.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
We eat inside.
Travis
I wanted to be outside.
Amy
And he also didn't get there right when. So you have to go to the wreck right when it opens.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Inside is the authentic experience.
Amy
Yeah, but you also have to get there.
Narrator/Producer
Screamed in back porch.
Travis
Well, the problem was, though, I didn't get there early. So, like, the wait. And I like.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Oh, the wait. It is the simplest plate of food.
Amy
It is very southern, like low country style food. But also it was where they filmed a lot of the outer banks.
Travis
Okay.
Amy
So people go now too, because it's kind of a destination just because of that. So he couldn't get in. But yeah, the longboard and the corn salad. We're going to have to protest this menu that you were given.
Travis
Saturday at 2 apparently is not the right time to get the corn salad.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
So it's. It's good because it's light and you can, you know, if you're drinking and you're day drinking it don't turn it don't turn you upside down.
Amy
He text. He. Dale text me in an uproar, though. Like, you had all Three of us were not even in the same city. You're texting him about it, and he's texting me about him. Like, I don't know. I couldn't get corn at the farmer's market either. It was too.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Amy thought there was a national corn crisis.
Amy
I'm like, maybe there's a corn crisis.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Amy's like, well, you know, the price
Narrator/Producer
of corn has gone up.
Amy
It has, Josh.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
It's too expensive.
Travis
I wonder why you put. What's the corn crisis?
Narrator/Producer
Corn crisis.
Amy
He said he was bored at the racetrack, too. I'm like, why don't you just sit there and Google about the corn crisis?
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
There's a corn crisis from noon. Come back. Come back to the Gone.
Travis
But, yeah, I'm ready to go back because it was fun.
Amy
It's so fun. I miss it. We were going to try to go down there this weekend, but it's going to be raining, so we figured we'd stick sticking around.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I'm going to take her out on my houseboat.
Travis
Oh, you going to go out or.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I don't know. We might leave the dock. We might not.
Amy
Hey, I'll get some corn. You can come meet us. We'll try to recreate.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
You've checked the house boat out.
Travis
I like. That's awesome.
Amy
You've been on the boat?
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah.
Amy
Really?
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah.
Travis
When you and the girls were. I forget where you guys were at. And it was like a Saturday and
Amy
you had Travis on the boat. Did anybody else come?
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
No.
Travis
Nope.
Amy
That's.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I called him up and I said it was. I called you and Tims. It was like a random Saturday, and he's like, I'll come over. And we just sat on the top, drank about six beers.
Amy
Well, that's nice.
Travis
Yeah, that was fun.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Then he rolled out.
Amy
Then he rolled out. Yeah.
Travis
Well, I think it was a good purchase.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Huh?
Travis
I think it was a good purchase.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Oh, yes. I love it. I can't wait to see it. I'm gonna go see it tonight.
Travis
No, it was clean, fresh.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah. I'm gonna go look. Me and the girls are gonna go over there tonight and make sure everything operates. And then we might have a weekend overnighter.
Amy
You're going to try to just hang out at the dock?
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I might untie it and take her out for a couple hours just to stretch her legs.
Travis
You get it running.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Easy to get it going and go. It's not that hard. It's not that big of a deal.
Amy
No, it's not just a boat. Yeah, it's just a boat. Yes. So let's talk about Isla's birthday. Today is Isla's birthday. Yesterday was your dad's birthday, who would have been 75, which is like, wild to think of him being an old man.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah, I enjoy this one.
Amy
You enjoy what?
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
His birthday.
Amy
Yeah.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah.
Amy
It's not a sad day, is it?
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
No.
Amy
Like, nobody gets sad.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I usually don't. It usually doesn't register for some reason. I see a lot of posts on social media. I think it's all right. Yeah, it's cool. Every day is a great day, right? Every day is a Dylan Heart day. Not just a birthday, but, you know, because I see posts of dad all the time, every day, all year. So it's like, it's just a little bit more on his birthday, but this was the 75th, so that was just proud. More pride.
Narrator/Producer
More.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
More happiness about it. I don't know. People were. People were like, you know, 75, that's a. That's an important number.
Amy
Almost like as if he was still here.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
All these people were like, you know, you know, you were. You're seeing people, like, try to imagine, like, what, you know, he might be doing or how he might be.
Amy
I told Dale last night, I was like, we should put him into chat and like, the latest photo we have and see what chat make him look like. It's 75.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah. And just for fun. Yeah. But I think he would still look. You know how people say Harry Gantt looks like he could still drive a race car? That's the way I feel like dad would be. You think he would just do. He'd be gray and. And he might. I don't know if he'd dye his hair. He might not. I don't know.
Amy
Yeah, it's hard to imagine that face, especially with his mustache, probably.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
But he'd look no different.
Travis
Never met him, but. I can't imagine him dyeing his hair.
Amy
No, I can't either. I can't imagine him taking it seriously enough like, to do that.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I don't. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know why I said that. Take that out. He didn't drive a black race car. You know, everything was man in Black, the intimidator, all that. Maybe he would. I don't know why I think he might dye his hair, but who knows, you know? I don't know. That's just cool. And.
Narrator/Producer
Yeah, it.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
It's so fun that dad and Isla's birthdays are together.
Amy
Kinda like yours and Coley's.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Me and Nicole were two days apart.
Amy
Yeah. So Isla's eight today. We had her birthday party last week.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
You got her. I saw you wrapping a gift this morning or yesterday with a little handle. Is that the nail kit?
Travis
It's a trading card kit.
Amy
It's definitely not trading cards. If I got her a special box like that and there were nothing but cards in there, she'd be like, what's. What am I supposed to do with that? She would expect jewelry, like jewels or something to be in there. I don't know what she got. She wanted it. It was. She got a nail kit of sorts. And then she got this little fashion where she gets to design clothes. And I think that's what's in that box.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I'm gonna tell you the.
Amy
I don't know. She just left me a list.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I might get roasted for this, because I'm not. I'm old. It's gonna sound. I'm gonna sound like an old man here. But. So last Christmas and. And for a lot of holidays and so forth. Chris. Anytime there's a present situation, they get the little fake nails and they stick them on and they play with them, and then they come off and they change them and they have stickers that go on their nails, all that stuff, which is fine. I'm vacuuming. I got my little shark vacuum. I'm vacuuming up fake nails all over. Especially after Christmas. There's little fake nails everywhere.
Amy
They get stuck.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
They're everywhere. Yeah. And you find them for days, but it's fine. It's funny. And so. But there's a new. There's a new thing in town.
Amy
It's worse.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
It is so crazy. I don't get it at all, but they love it. So they. They get these fake nails. And now they do. They do a nail on their fingernail. They do a fake nail, right? And then they. They glue like an object.
Amy
They've got gems or bows or, like little plastic flowers or something.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Little plastic. And they're like. These things just sit on their nails.
Amy
They're three dimensional.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah.
Travis
Oh, damn, they're big. It's like a hood.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
They're objects.
Amy
Yes, It's a hood ornament.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah, it's like a hood ornament. And Isla will do her nails, come downstairs, and she'll have an angel, a bird, a star, ladybug, all ladybug, all on her nails. And she walks around the rest of the day like this.
Amy
Mom, can you get me a water? Can you open it, too? Mom, can you open my chips? Yeah. Because now she's got no freaking Fingers. So annoying.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
What in the hell?
Amy
Yeah. And she uses super glue to do this. So she'll super glue the nail onto her finger so that it won't fall off. And then she'll super glue the objects or gems or whatever on her fingernail so that they don't fall off. So now there's like little bottles of super glue kind of about.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yep.
Amy
Yeah.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Which is terrifying.
Amy
It's just bad.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah. And she does her sister's nails, which I think sweet as heck.
Amy
It was so sweet. I tried to talk her out of it, though, because Nicole doesn't like having her nails done. As soon as you even paint them, she pulls. She, like, rips it all off or she'll eat it off. Like, she'll scrape it off with her teeth. I'm like, isla, I don't want you to do that. She's gonna swallow one of those things. Of course she does it anyway. And Nicole's, like, walking around just, like, prancing and being fancy and, like, posing. Cause of her nails. She's like, you know, being dramatic as Nicole is. And so. And then, you know, 20 minutes later, they're laying all over the floor.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yep.
Amy
Yeah. No, I didn't. I did not get her any of those.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Who?
Amy
I didn't get any of that.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Who did it?
Amy
Who did it? One of our friends.
Travis
We want a name.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
That one's not coming back.
Amy
It was from her birthday party.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah. Yeah.
Travis
That friend's no longer invited.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Me and. Me and the dad are going to have a conversation. No, I'm just kidding. So I. It makes me, like, wonder, like, okay, when they're 18, 25, whatever. Is that how. What nails are going to be?
Amy
I don't know. So, like, all the younger girls are doing that at the nail shop now, too. Like, a nail design is really big. I don't have the patience to sit there and get my nails painted like that. Like, it takes a lot of time. The last time I did a. Like a design on the tip, remember, I did, like, tortoiseshell at a tortoise shell tip. And Dale's like, it looks like you've been working under the car. It looks like your nails are actually dirtier than when you went to the nail shop.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah.
Amy
It was a total fail. So I haven't done it again since. I just get, like, a basic paint.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
But they're older girls.
Amy
There are older girls doing that. It's very popular now.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Oh, my gosh.
Amy
That's why the kits are available.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
And they can't do. They can't physically do shit without knocking them things off.
Amy
The girls have, like, claws. They're like, long. Really long.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
That's been around forever.
Amy
But it's all back. Yeah, it's very popular. I know it'll phase out. Don't worry about it.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Did you get the earrings in Nicole's ears this morning?
Amy
I didn't, but she. She sat there and tried for a while. So Isla got a package in the mail from my grandmother. My grandmother. So their great grandmother. And she always sends something for both of the kids. And so Nicole got a little tiny set of earrings that have little yorkies dangling from them. And she's since taken both of her earrings out, but she's decided she is determined to put these things in her ears. So she sits downstairs for at least a half an hour. I went upstairs to, like, get ready to leave, and I came back down and she's like, I couldn't do it. I was like, we'll do it later. She's like, I really want you to put them in my ears right now. I want to go to school with him in my ears. I was like, kohli, we don't think we have time for that. And I didn't really want to, like, go through all that process. So we put them back in the bag and she didn't. We just awarded, but I have a feeling that's going to be my evening project, is to try to get.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Well, you're doing stuff. I'm taking the girls to the boat.
Amy
That's right. So maybe we'll do it tomorrow so
Travis
Dale can do it.
Amy
Yeah.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Nope.
Amy
He sat there and watched her try to poke it through her ear. And I was shocked. I can't. I couldn't believe he stood there to watch that, you know, trying.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I'm trying to learn.
Amy
He was trying. He was. He let it happen. No fits or nothing. Not even a grimace. Speaking of grimaces, though, I have to tell you that Isla did something at the birthday party after you left. He got up to go to the racetrack on Saturday morning.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Oh. After. Slum party.
Amy
Yeah. So we had a little summer party. There's only three girls there. I had the little lady come do the tents. Like, everybody's seen it on the Internet. That's like the popular thing to do for a slumber party. So there's three girls in is. There's four girls. And the next morning, Dale gets up to leave. So I've got the girls by myself, and the moms are coming to get them between 10 and 11 o'. Clock. Well, the Girl that's coming or leaving the earliest is got a soccer game. And so, like, I'm trying to make sure that all their things are picked up. And the girls are outside playing on the playset before the lady comes to, like, retrieve her tents. And so I've got the front door open, they're outside. I could hear them. And all of a sudden, two of the girls come inside and they're like, hey, Miss Amy. Isla left. I'm like, what do you mean she left? Well, she walked down the hill. She said she was going to the other house. So your mom's old house? Guest house. I'm like, okay, that's not that big of a deal. Isla's never wanted to just wander about. And the barn is like, the furthest she would go. And so I'm like, okay, don't worry. I'm so close to having all stuff picked up. I'll be out in just a second. And so she and one of the other girls had walked down the hill, and I knew that she knew where the key was. But when I got finished, the girls came back to me. They were like, hey, she still hasn't come back. And so I got a little worried. I'm like, okay, great, Maybe they're in the house down there, just playing in the guest house. You know what I mean? So I get in the Suburban, I'm like, I'm not walking down the hill. Girls get in the car with me. So. So we go down the hill, we go to the guest house. I get to the front door, it's locked, and we get back in the car. I drive down a little further, I look at the pond. No one's in the pond. Immediately, like, I'm thinking, oh, my gosh, what if somebody fell on the water in the pond or in the pool or something? Check those boxes. Everybody's not in the water. And so we get back in the car, we continue our journey around by the saloon and around the whole property and didn't find them. And we get back to the house. I'm like, surely they just, like, beat us back here. Or maybe they were at the place that the whole time. And they didn't really. They were hiding, I don't know. And they're in the house. Well, they weren't in the house. And all of a sudden they come walking up, like 30 seconds later. They had followed us up the road, but they were down at the little racetrack. And she had taken her friend all the way around the property with no shoes on. Didn't tell Me. She was leaving and had me panicked. I was trying to play it cool, but after I couldn't find him after driving around, like, the panic was starting to set in, and the little girl's mom was any second gonna show up, and I was not gonna be able to tell her mom where her name kill was. I told Isla, I'm like, there's a few reasons why that's not okay. And that's the. That's the first one. Like, what am I supposed to tell her mother if she comes to retrieve her? And I've got no clue where she's at. So I don't know. I don't even know what to do in those moments. Of course they're safe. They're inside the gate. There's no. It's not that big deal, except she's.
Travis
But your mind always goes to the
Amy
work, like, the worst.
Travis
Yeah.
Amy
Yes.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah.
Amy
Especially when you can't hear them. You know, like, you're like, something really bad happened. So, anyway, I just thought I'd let you know how Saturday actually looked for me.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Interesting. She would never do that by herself. She had a friend. We got to watch them.
Amy
She would never do that. When they're.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
When they're. When they get teamed up, we got to watch them.
Amy
But summer parties are actually not that big of a deal. Everybody makes a big deal about, oh, my God, you're gonna host a slumber party. That's, like, got to be a lot of work. It was fine.

Guys, it's back and I'm excited because now you don't have to go hunting all over for good barbecue. Arby's is bringing back that slow smoked goodness straight to the drive thru. I've been waiting all year for Arby's. Bring back their barbecue sandwich lineup this year and it's even better than ever. We're talking a quarter pound of pulled pork smoked for four hours and a quarter pound of chopped brisket smoked for a full 13 hours. Now that's real barbecue. Low and slow. On pit road, we work fast, but in the barbecue pit, slow is how you get it right and they got it right. And the sweet and spicy barbecue sauces are back too, so you can mix it up however you like. I'll be honest. 13 hour brisket from a drive thru. I had to try it. I picked up a sandwich the other day for lunch on my way to the shop and it surprised me. It's legit. Low and slow in fast food. It's kind of wild, but it works. Arby's is doing real authentic barbecue that's so good you won't believe that you got it at a drive thru. Everybody knows Arby's has the meats, so if you can count on anyone to do barbecue right, it had to be Arby's. Available for a limited time at participating locations while supplies last. Prices may vary. Get your barbecue sandwich at Arby's near you today.
Travis
All right, we play this game now. Don't I'm gonna set it up. Yep, you guys are gonna pick up one person at a time. You won't be able to See who you're holding? You're gonna ask questions, and Dale will answer. Amy will answer it on like. So you're like, is it a woman? Is it a man? Okay, so I'm gonna go first for the audio listeners. We will put the answers in the description, because obviously, you won't be able to see the video. People will be able to see it.
Amy
So he's gonna hold up face on it.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah.
Travis
You'll be able to see the face. He can't.
Amy
Okay. And I have to give descriptive words. Can he see through there?
Travis
No.

back and I'm excited because now you don't have to go hunting all over for good barbecue. Arby's is bringing back that slow smoked goodness straight to the drive thru. I've been waiting all year for Arby's. Bring back their barbecue sandwich lineup this year and it's even better than ever. We're talking a quarter pound of pulled pork smoked for four hours and a quarter pound of chopped brisket smoked for a full 13 hours. Now that's real barbecue. Low and slow. On pit road, we work fast, but in the barbecue pit, slow is how you get it right and they got it right. And the sweet and Spicy barbecue sauces are back too, so you can mix it up however you like. I'll be honest. 13 hour brisket from a drive thru. I had to try it. I picked up a sandwich the other day for lunch on my way to the shop and it surprised me. It's legit. Low and slow in fast food. It's kind of wild, but it works. Arby's is doing real authentic barbecue that's so good you won't believe that you got it at a drive thru. Everybody knows Arby's has the meats. So if you can count on anyone to do barbecue right, it had to be Arby's. Available for a limited time at participating locations while supplies last. Prices may vary. Get your barbecue sandwich at Arby's near you today.
Amy
Hey, y'. All. Dale and I are in the Dirty Mo media. Sorry. We are in the Dirty Mo media studios for another round of Ask Amy. What are your questions, Travis?
Travis
All right, so first question here is.
Amy
I think that's so funny and it is. Sorry, I do that a lot.
Travis
It's all right.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
First time you've ever done that?
Amy
No, I do that just about once a week.
Travis
She did it last week too.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Not live.
Travis
Yeah, we are live. Remember, we are live.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Like we count her down. Maybe makes her nervous.
Amy
Honestly, the game got me stumped.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
4, 3.
Travis
I'll type it up next time so you can just read.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Feels like it's like 1960 news television.
Narrator/Producer
We're coming online.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
We're coming live almost 6:00pm for the 6:00 clock news, folks. Get ready.
Amy
Dan, straighten your tie.
Travis
So our first question. Someone wants to know what's one of your everyday go to beauty products that you use?
Amy
An everyday go to beauty product. Besides, like, I have this pretty simple routine. I never skip my moisturizer just because I'm getting to the age where you can't do that. But I don't. I don't put makeup on every day. I just feel like that's not good for my skin. But I think it's just my moisturizer. Yeah.
Travis
Okay.
Amy
Makeup wise, like, I don't really leave my house without some eyebrows and my eyelashes because my hair is super blonde and so it just looks like I'm a little sick. Put some of that on.
Travis
But another question is, we've had this a few times. Someone wants to know where do you come up with all your hats that you have on?
Amy
Some are gifts. Some like this one right here I got from Laura Boyer from our bunco league. She gave everybody a hat. I Buy a lot of hats from Briley King. She owns a company called the little bird trucking company. And so she's got just some fun designs. And I love a trucker hat, like a big, tall hat. And I've bought a few out of the shop here. I almost wore one today that said do it for Dale, but landed on Bumco instead. I don't know.
Travis
Were you always a hat person?
Amy
Yeah, I've always loved hats. Cowboy hat. I mean, I would wear bigger hats if it was appropriate.
Travis
But James here today was wearing a hat, but he didn't like the point. And he was like, making a divot because he said that was better. And I'm like, now you just look dumb.
Amy
Now you just look dumb. Dang. It was more my style.
Travis
You just had a little crater at the top here, man.
Amy
Well, James has a very distinct taste in his outfit, too.
Travis
He had a trucker hat on, which is like the first we've ever seen him wear a trucker hat.
Amy
Yeah, they're usually not so tall.
Travis
Yeah. Speaking of hats, will you be tuning into the Kentucky derby this weekend to watch? Look at the outfits.
Amy
You bet. That is one of my favorite fashion shows to watch because everyone, like, really goes for it. You don't really get to wear a hat in most places either, especially the fascinators and the big, really overdone hats. Some people go really out there and like, decorate their own and put horses and all kinds of, like, things on there. And that's fun, too. It's just fun to see the fashions in general. Dale and I got to go to the derby a couple times, and getting those outfits together was always really fun.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I. I went to the Derby for NBC and they had about 25 expert analysts on their 12 hour coverage, and I picked the winner. I remember that over all of the experts.
Amy
He also picked his outfit after I had picked mine and chose a pink jacket. And he's on TV and it's his day. I'm just getting to go along. But I had this really bright neon pink dress. And so after he decided on his outfit, which was like, days before we were leaving, I had to redo my whole look, which is hard when you have a hat and all the things included.
Travis
Isn't pink supposed to be for Friday?
Amy
Yes. The stakes. The oaks. On Friday? Yeah. On Friday you wear pink.
Travis
I usually just find, like, the fun horse name. That's who I usually just, like, bet on.
Amy
Yeah, that's the only way I know how to bet. I mean, you have to watch the numbers, too, but they change so much, too, in the last few minutes that unless you're really paying attention, it's hard to keep up with.
Travis
Maybe you could be like, Isla for the next one and put, like, a horse on your fingernails.
Amy
That would be. I should just let her decorate my fingernails. Maybe she can do, like, jockey silk designs and I can have, like, all the diamonds and stuff on my fingernails. I'm not gonna tell her that, Travis, because she'll go for it.
Travis
I'm definitely gonna tell her. Next question. This one is definitely out there in left field. You can only have one vegetable to use as a weapon in combat. What are you choosing?
Amy
A vegetable?
Travis
Yeah.
Amy
A potato. Like, they make potato guns already, right?
Travis
Oh, I didn't think about that part of it. I think that's the answer.
Amy
Yeah. Unless you just want to get something really stinky, like broccoli.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah, not the broccoli only.
Travis
That's gonna hurt, though.
Amy
No, it won't hurt. I don't know. Yeah. Potatoes. Potato gun.
Travis
Potato guns are. Do the kids even make those anymore?
Amy
I don't know.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah, kids. Adults made them. Kids didn't make them.
Amy
I'm saying, like, use them.
Travis
Like.
Amy
Like play with them.
Travis
College kids now, like, they're like. Is that still a thing?
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I don't think. I'm wondering if they're college kids. Only thing, that's when I used it.
Amy
He was in fraternity, it sounds like.
Travis
No, I mean, I was.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I wasn't a potato gun I ever saw my daddy head. So around here, I guess it's just, you know, late 30s, early 40s.
Amy
What are you shooting with a potato gun?
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Potato potatoes.
Amy
In real life? No, like, what are you shooting at? Like, what was the point of a potato gun?
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
See how far it goes.
Travis
Stop signs. Just shoot it in the sky and hope.
Narrator/Producer
You'll just put more.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
You put more and more stuff in there, and it goes farther, and it's
Amy
literally just for fun. Just for fun doing anything.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
You're not. Yeah, you're not. You damn sure. Can't even hardly aim with the thing. It's just going to go where it goes.
Travis
We tried, though. We tried to hit, like, a stop sign, like, shoot like a RPG kind of deal.
Amy
And you hold it over your shoulder like that.
Travis
Yeah.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
It's pretty stupid.
Travis
Well, listen, it was in college, you know.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
We all survived some bad choices.
Amy
Yes, that's true. Well, it's true.
Travis
Next question. What are your most common used emojis?
Amy
Get your phone. Mine is probably a heart. I don't know.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
It'll tell you.
Amy
The cry face. Like, I'm crying, laughing.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
The crying emoji. Laughing, crying, laughing. The salute emoji. I use that one a lot for like, I gotcha.
Travis

Dale Earnhardt Jr.

Amy

Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah. He's saluting like this.
Amy
You use that one?
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah. Oh, that's kind of like, all right, gotcha.
Amy
He's never sent that one to me.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
That's a guy's. Yeah. A female.
Amy
Why the hell not?
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I don't know. I just wouldn't. That would be weird going. You bet, ma'. Am. You know, that would be awesome. Okay.
Amy
Yeah, send me a salute.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
All right, I'll send you a salute.
Amy
I. Mine are the cry face. The emoji with the hand over his face, or the guy that's, like, doing the, like, wonky smile.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Like, I do. I got the face palm guy.
Travis
That's the one I use.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I do the. The guy partying with the little party hat on again.
Amy
Never sent me that one because it's.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I do. That one is like, when I'm in. When I'm happy about summer, I think something's great. That's kind of like an exaggeration. Like, hell, yeah, party.
Amy
Let me see that. I don't have that.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I just sent it to you. And then a little blushing. The little blushing guy. I use him a lot. That's like, I am pleased.
Travis
Wait, blushing as I am pleased?
Amy
Yes.
Travis
That doesn't make sense.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I mean, it's the guy smiling with red cheeks. Oh, yeah.
Amy
Rosy cheeks.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
That's the. I am very happy about this. Whatever's happened in this conversation has pleased me. Yeah.
Amy
The king is pleased.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Oh, Jesus.
Amy
Gosh, I'm so hung up on that salute situation.
Travis
Yeah, I mean, it makes sense.
Amy
How's this feel?
Travis
Yeah, but then he's gonna be. You could be like, oh, am I like, you think I'm a drill instructor? Like, you could.
Amy
I am.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Do you know? I send. I send the gun. I send the muscle a lot. Yeah.
Travis
To who?
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I send the muscle. The muscle emoji is like a. Hell, yeah. Like, when you send your buddy the muscle one that's kind of like. You damn right.
Travis
Like, hey, you want to get some beers? You just respond with the muscle.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Or like, hey, man, we got to. We got a. Hey, man, we're going to go to the bar tomorrow night. I'm excited. Muscle.
Travis
I'm going to start incorporating that.
Amy
Yeah, I feel like you should muscle.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Amy used to hate it when I'd send her the thumbs up.
Amy
No, that's your sister. I never cared.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Really?
Amy
Yeah. Kelly doesn't really. You told me she wants more of a. More of an answer than just a thumbs up. She feels like that's, like, a little too short.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I remember you saying that you didn't like. I wouldn't. One of your buddies. Don't send me your thumbs up.
Amy
Yeah, I wanna. I wanna salute instead.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
All right, you're getting salutes. What about people prefer. What do you prefer to get? Like, Tami's point. She'd rather get a salute.
Amy
I just think it's fun to change it up. I want different emojis. Like, let's get.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
What is the emoji with the star eyes?
Amy
Sometimes we send each other emojis that have nothing to do with conversation.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
When I. I don't. Sometimes I don't know what emojis really mean, but I send them thinking I've got my own little interpretation.
Amy
I feel like if you send a star eyes, it means somebody sent you something that you like.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yes.
Amy
You like to see.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I do.
Amy
Star eyes.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
When I send a little star eyes emoji. When I'm like, this is awesome.
Travis
I like that. Okay. But, yeah, it's sometimes hard. You sit in, you're like, I hope the person knows what I'm thinking.
Amy
Yeah. I hope we're all on the same page here. With emojis. I send the one with the smiley face with the hearts around it. Okay. A lot.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I send Amy. Kissy one. The one where they're.
Amy
He sends me the honey pot.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Is that what it's called? Honey pot? Where the guy's kissing and.
Amy
No, there's the actual honey pot. Like a honey.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Instead of saying honey, I send.
Travis
Oh.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I go, what's up, Honey pot.
Travis
That's funny.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah. I call her. I like to call her all the names that you think somebody might like. I think. I like to call her all the names that you think a guy might call his wife in the 70s.
Travis
Which were what?
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Like Sugar Britches.
Amy
Sugar Britches? Yeah.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I just like to call her funny little names like that. Little nicknames. I try hard to, like, switch it up. Like the next one. One was Sugar Britches. The next one might be something completely different.
Amy
Sure. Snookums.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah.
Amy
Yeah.
Travis
Amy, do you have any pet names for Dale?
Amy
Not really.
Travis
Just Dale and Ralph.
Amy
Ralph. Honey, I call you Honey Darlin. Sometimes I say darling. I say it to the kids, maybe. Not Dale.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah. No, I don't get darling much.
Travis
Did you guys ever have any nicknames growing up?
Amy
No, I didn't. I. Because my name's so short.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Anyway, yeah, I was Hammerhead.
Amy
He had a lot of nicknames. No, Amy's that I like. Through college, high school, and college, I got Amos. I got called that quite a bit. And then Sonny would call me that, too. When I moved here, he called me that. So it's kind of like one that kind of traveled, even though I didn't take it with me. So that kind of reoccurred in life.
Travis
Interesting. Yeah. A lot of people would also just for, like. I had lots of nicknames, but then just refer to me by my last name a lot of times, which I have a bunch of friends that, like, usually just refer to them by their last name. I don't call them by their first name.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I always, like, was envious of that. So we had a buddy of ours named David Hobus, and we all called him Hobus. And I was like, man, getting called, you know, by your last name must. Must be cool.
Travis
That is pretty nice.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah.
Amy
Sometimes I do that with Isla just to get her attention.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Well, yeah, I like that.
Amy
I like your last name.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Only the Earnhardt name. Tossed around.
Amy
And she turns and looks at me every time.
Travis
See, I knew when I was in trouble, when my mom would drop, she'd say my first and middle and not the last name, and it was like, oh, I'm in trouble. Like, that was.
Amy
Get down there and salute.
Travis
Yeah, that was okay. Yes, ma'. Am.
Amy
Yes, ma'.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Am. Yeah.
Travis
One more question here. If you can make a law, can be big or small, just something that you want to be. A law that people have to follow.
Amy
Oh, man. A law.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Oh, my.
Amy
Can I just make a law for Dale?
Travis
Sure. Law.
Amy
I was gonna start a fight.
Travis
Oh, Jesus, let's not do that.
Amy
I feel like there should be a law for video games after a certain age.
Travis
That's dumb.
Amy
No, it's not.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Oh, my gosh.
Amy
There's no more video games after the age of, like, 25.
Travis
No.
Amy
Yeah.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Oh, my gosh.
Travis
I regret this question. This is 20.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah.
Amy
There's so many other things to do.
Travis
Like what?
Amy
Like, things. I mean, let me tell you this. Having to pack an extra new petite game system for a vacation because of the video games is. I feel like that's. We've gone too far. You know what I mean? So I feel like after a certain age, you stop doing things. Things like that. I don't know.
Travis
Yeah, I can't agree with that.
Amy
I know. Unpopular opinion in the room, but that's how I feel. Do you have a law?
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Video games. Till I Die. That's my law.
Amy
That doesn't make sense.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah.
Narrator/Producer
Video game for life.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Gamers for life.
Amy
What?
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Gamers.
Travis
Gamers for life. I'm with you on this one. Like, what's wrong with it?
Amy
They take up too much time.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah.
Travis
Maybe limit.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I used to sit on my racing rig for 10 hours straight. Now I play college football for one hour three times a week. Take up too much time.
Travis
My law would be you can walk around outside with an open container.
Amy
Oh, yeah, Yeah.
Travis
I mean, these social districts, just everything. Social district.
Amy
The only thing about that is people will be leaving them everywhere. That's. That's like a lot of the reason why they don't do it in some cities. Right. Is because of the little littering.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I don't know.
Amy
Yeah. Like, I don't know. I love it when I'm in Key west or any of those towns where I get to do that. So I get.
Travis
You wait, it's Key west open or they just don't care.
Amy
I don't know. That we walk around everywhere. I don't think they care.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah.
Amy
I don't know if it's open, to be honest, but they sell you all those frozen drinks on the street, like,
Travis
so I feel like that's true. Yeah.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
You're going bar to bar to bar.
Amy
Yeah.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I think on Beale street or some of those streets, it's open because you
Travis
have like that little bar that's the tiny bar that's right there on the sidewalk.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Travis
All right. Well, I think that's a good place to end the show.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
That was fun. We talked about bars anymore. I was gonna be wanting to go to the bar.
Amy
Well, you can just drink some of your cocktail here.

Let's go to the bar.
