[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 Jr]

I'm working.

[Amy]

Working that mouth. Let's talk about the snow for a second and the amount of time these kids are out of school.

[Dale Jr]

Man. I noticed that it's been very.

[Amy]

It's been stressful.

[Dale Jr]

Stressful for you.

[Amy]

It's Almost giving me, like, Covid vibes in the house, you know, like, we're on lockdown, can't go anywhere.

[Dale Jr]

I love it.

[Amy]

I know you love it. You got your chef, your toys and your hobbies and all the things, and you don't have anybody bothering you. It's like your favorite thing. But I need people. Like, I need energy from other people. And being stuck in the house with, you know, everybody needing things from me is just. It's a lot. I'm not the only one that feels that way. Some of the other moms that have literally, their kids have not gone back to school yet are about to lose it. Like, truly lose their mind.

[Dale Jr]

Yes.

[Amy]

Because doing the school and all the things virtually when you don't know how to do common core math or, like, all the things that the kids have to do, it's a lot. It's a lot on your mind. You don't even know what I'm talking about, do you?

[Dale Jr]

I don't. I mean, I. I'm sorry. I. I don't. I. I'm thinking, man, the kids are home. We get to hug on them all day.

[Amy]

Yeah. I mean, that part is good. And I like the snuggles.

[Dale Jr]

Yeah.

[Amy]

And not having to pack one. And I know that there are a couple of little things that are great.

[Dale Jr]

No, they're going to go back, and I know that, you know, things are going to go back to normal, and it is never going to snow like this again, ever. I mean, you know, most likely, this is the most snow that I remember ever getting in the, you know, 40 years I can really recall.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr]

I mean, you know, we would have. You know, we would have two or three snows in the winter that were two to three, maybe four inches at the most back in the 80s. And then it kind of trailed off to maybe one snow a year or a little dusting. That was crazy.

[Amy]

Wasn't expected to have the weather.

[Dale Jr]

It was awesome.

[Amy]

It was very magical. And the girls playing in, it was a lot of fun getting them dressed. I didn't even mind that part. Just the taking the clothes on and off, getting the boots, like, we got the order down.

[Dale Jr]

I think the way you feel is how I feel about the dog. Gus has been. Gus has been next level annoying because he. So I'm sorry if this is bothering some of you animal dog lovers. I'm. I've got a dog. I'm a dog lover. But I don't love the way he's been acting. We.

[Amy]

He too feels trapped. He's like, I Want to go outside? I want to drink out of the fountain that's now frozen over. That's his. What he thinks that's his water bowl, truly. So he goes outside, and he's like.

[Dale Jr]

This is the experience with Gus. All right? So usually Gus is happy, calm, laying around napping all day, and he gets excited when he wants to go outside, and he. He hops around the floor, and that's. That's the cue. I want to go out. And he's thrilled. You know, go. Go over the door, open it up, goes outside, and he's going to come back to the door in about 10 or 15 minutes, and he'll bark. He might lay down on the porch for a while and chill and look out, and then he'll start barking.

[Candle Maker / Friend]

He'll just.

[Dale Jr]

You'll just hear him burp, burp. And that's. Come get me. Let me back in. No problem. He's going to want to go do this again maybe an hour or two later. And that's sort of the pattern, and that's what we've done for. For a long time, but during the snow. So we got the ice first, right? We had that ice storm. Gus is getting old, and he's got arthritis in his hips, and he's got a bunch of fatty gross and all this stuff, and he's just. He has a harder time. He jumps up on the couch. It's. It's not as easy it used to.

[Amy]

Be when he misses.

[Dale Jr]

Sometimes when he lays around for a while and he gets up, it's a. It's a while before he can get moving. So he kind of. You know, if he lays down, like all of us at our age, if he lays down, when you get up, you're sore, you know, from sitting in the same spot for five minutes. And so. But. So we get the ice storm. He goes outside, and his feet bust through the ice. He gets 15 yards from the house, and his feet bust through the ice, and he's like, I'm stuck.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr]

Hey.

[Amy]

He goes catatonic and just starts talking. He won't move.

[Dale Jr]

Yeah, he won't move. He's 15ft from the door, and his feet have just fell through the two inches of ice, and he's like, come get me. I'm stuck. And that's literally it. And.

[Amy]

And so Dale's like, I think something's wrong with the dog because he's walking around out there like he's basically sliding, but he's hunched over, like he won't stand up straight all the way Walk.

[Dale Jr]

So funny on the ice.

[Amy]

Like, I don't. I think that's his arthritis. Or maybe he's. I think he's going to the bathroom and he's not. I don't know. What did he get into? What did you feed him through the mountain of things other than it's just ice.

[Dale Jr]

If we don't take him out before bedtime, he gets us up at 4, 2, 13 in the morning he gets up and Amy might take him down some, but most time I'm taking him down and I go down there, let him out. I'm in my damn underwear, you know, and I let him out. We didn't need that, huh? I'm sorry.

[Amy]

We didn't need that.

[Dale Jr]

It's hard to catch what you're saying. I'm just letting you know that I'm not ready to walk.

[Amy]

He's not prepared for what is about to happen.

[Dale Jr]

He goes out in the yard, falls through the ice, and he's like, all right, come get me. And I'm like, all right. So I go put on pants, put on a jacket, go outside, and I go to him. And as soon as I go to him, he starts growling at me, like, am I helping you? You don't want help? What's the damn deal? You gonna growl at me? I'm out here, 15 degrees outside. I'm here to carry your ass, your 80 pound ass inside, and you're growling. And so. And I'll take him back inside. So that's what happens in the middle of the night. What happens during the day is he wants to go outside. You take him outside, he stands on the porch, he goes, it's cold, let me back in. So he starts barking at the door. You let him back in. 5 minutes goes by and he has completely forgotten about that. And he wants to go back outside.

[Amy]

He's restless as hell.

[Dale Jr]

And he goes back outside and he's like, holy, it's cold out here, let me back in. And he wants back in. And then five minutes later, he's forgotten about that. And it's like this constant, like, he's. He's like, let me out, let me out, let me out. And you're like, we just, just let you out. Like, what are you doing? You going out there? Are you using the bathroom at all?

[Amy]

I think he wants you to come out with him. So he's like, when it's warmer, he and I go out for a walk. Well, we haven't been doing that. And so he's like getting all excited because he Wants you to come outside with him when he, when you close the door and he's like, oh, damn, I don't want to be out here by myself.

[Dale Jr]

I don't entertain that idea.

[Amy]

No, because you've never been the one to walk in.

[Dale Jr]

Ever Going to be. I'm taking the dog for a walk. I didn't. I don't. I, I, I. We live on a farm. My dog takes his own ass for a walk. I don't live in the city. I'm not walking my dog down the road to get his legs stretched. He was. If his ass needs to go outside, he can take his own ass for a walk. We got 300 acres. Be my guest. Wear yourself out. But this, like, oh, we got to take him for a lap so his anxiety calms down. That's, That's. I, like, I have a hard time with it.

[Amy]

You are that.

[Dale Jr]

I am.

[Amy]

You are just like that.

[Dale Jr]

I don't need you to take me for a walk.

[Amy]

No, but you need me to lay on the couch with you so you can recharge, as you say.

[Dale Jr]

Well, that's.

[Amy]

What's the damn difference.

[Dale Jr]

I don't know.

[Amy]

He. He's used to that. We walk together, we get the energy out. He has not been able to do that. That's why he's bothering you. But also, he doesn't growl at me, like, if I go outside with the dog or if I go lay on him on the couch, he doesn't growl at me. Not ever?

[Dale Jr]

No.

[Amy]

He only does that to Dale. I don't know what that is. They have, like, this weird relationship, but we're dudes.

[Candle Maker / Friend]

Maybe he could have, like, cleared a path for him where, like, he gets some grass to, you know.

[Amy]

We did that. Yeah. I laid. So when the ice storm was coming preemptively, I laid out all of the felt blankets and different blankets like I have in the dog room, down the stairs, across the path into the grass. So, like, he had his own little section that was not going to get iced, and he would walk over the ice to the. He was always going towards that fountain. But anyway, he's. He's just spoiled. He's got all those things. He just wants attention.

[Dale Jr]

I haven't had to go outside to pick him up and bring him back in since the ice. Right. It's been a week. We had seven and a half inches of snow. I'm like, all right, we're over the ice. The other two nights ago, he's like, I gotta go downstairs. It's. It's one O' clock in the morning. We get down.

[Amy]

I like how you interpret, how he's speaking. If he could speak to you.

[Dale Jr]

He's like, oh, he gets up. His bed is in the floor at the end of our bed. And he gets up, and he paces up my side, up Amy's side.

[Amy]

He's just waiting to see who's going to get his face.

[Dale Jr]

And he pants really loudly, and he drags his feet. So he's intentionally, like, making as much noise as he can to get one of us to get up and let his ass go downstairs. He will not go down a set of stairs. He falls. If he goes down the stairs, he.

[Amy]

Slide all the way down.

[Dale Jr]

Very good. His legs don't work, so we got to go down an elevator. So I get up, I take him into the elevator, we go down. And he doesn't go to the front door, which is where he should go. He wants to go out back. Out back's a hill that he's getting stuck on. But we have, you know, we haven't happened in a couple days. And his ass goes out there. And I watch him. And he walks around. He takes his poop, he takes his pee, and then he just sticks around. He locks up. He goes, come get me.

[Amy]

He's playing.

[Dale Jr]

He's down this hill. And I seem like.

[Amy]

He's like, I know you're going to be cold, and I know you don't have any clothes, front legs.

[Dale Jr]

He's like, okay, I can't get up the hill.

[Candle Maker / Friend]

He's asserting his dominance over you, Dale.

[Dale Jr]

Yeah, he's acting.

[Amy]

That's exactly what it is.

[Dale Jr]

He's acting like he needs a wheelchair.

[Amy]

He's like, you ain't the boss of me. I'm the boss of me. Come get me.

[Dale Jr]

Help. Help. Help. Come get me. I'm going to freeze. Yeah, you're.

[Candle Maker / Friend]

You're.

[Dale Jr]

That's not right. But that's not how it is. So I have to get my pants on and go out there and pick him up. Don't pick me up. And I'm like, this sucks.

[Amy]

You wanted this.

[Dale Jr]

I don't. I did not want this. This is not the part. I don't know that. This is experience for every dog owner.

[Amy]

Well, when they get older, you have all kinds of things you didn't experience. You didn't have that with Rocket.

[Dale Jr]

Look, I don't want to put him down. I'm not saying let's get rid of him.

[Amy]

I didn't hear you say that.

[Dale Jr]

I just want to get on my chest. I'm I believe my. You're so. Maybe that's me relating to you. Right? And you're. You're, you know, feeling like you got island fever. You're, you know, claustrophobic and need to get out of the house to see some friends.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Candle Maker / Friend]

I think you just need to book another trip, Amy.

[Amy]

Well, we have another trip booked for a Disney cruise. So very excited about that. But that on top of, like, homeschool and all the things, and we got a new camper. So, like, nothing happened. We were stuck for a while. It was just like, kitchen's open all day long. You know what I mean? And then now it's like, 20 things happening.

[Dale Jr]

Yeah.

[Amy]

So there's a lot of chaos.

[Dale Jr]

We got a. We got a Disney cruise. This is going to happen soon.

[Amy]

I just need, like, a girls brunch.

[Candle Maker / Friend]

That's what I was saying, like, you need, like, a.

[Amy]

We have had brunches scheduled every weekend to. To crown our fantasy football champion, and we have to keep canceling them just because of the weather. So that.

[Dale Jr]

I want you to make sure you. You do more than brunch. I want you to make sure you get.

[Amy]

I know. We just can't get it. We just can't get it to happen.

[Dale Jr]

I hope. I'm worried that the brunch won't be enough. Like, you go on and do brunch and. And more if you need to.

[Amy]

Brunch.

[Dale Jr]

I don't care.

[Amy]

Nails spa. Like, what are you talking about? We all just need to, like, get.

[Dale Jr]

Get around each other feeling how you need to feel.

[Amy]

I got you. I'm not worried about that part. Okay.

[Dale Jr]

We've got a trip, too. We're going to St. Martin's I think we. We bought or one trip in an auction. So we're going to go.

[Amy]

It was a charity event.

[Dale Jr]

That's going to be fun. Yeah. So we got some things looking forward to.

[Amy]

You do.

[Dale Jr]

All right. Drink of the week.

[Amy]

Sponsored by High Rock Vodka.

[Candle Maker / Friend]

That's right.

[Dale Jr]

It's called the pucker up punch. Sounds like you're gonna punch somebody in the mouth.

[Amy]

Is that really what you think?

[Dale Jr]

Pucker up, man. I'm gonna knock you out.

[Amy]

Pucker up is not like sucker.

[Candle Maker / Friend]

Well, I think about, you know, what's next weekend.

[Amy]

I think about this pucker up day.

[Dale Jr]

I think about this scene in Struck Race where he says he's gonna give this guy a cluck.

[Amy]

A clock show.

[Dale Jr]

This guy had a cluck because it's fastest chicken in the south is a sponsor on his car.

[Amy]

Huh.

[Dale Jr]

And he walked in one of the. One of the mechanics walks up to. To.

[Amy]

Diane.

[Dale Jr]

No, it's. I'm so mad that I can't struck a race is Burt Reynolds. He walks up to Burt Reynolds and said, hey, Burt Reynolds, give us a cluck. Like because he's sponsors Fast Chicken in the south. And he's like. He looks at lugs Harvey, who is Jim Neighbors. And he goes, should I give him a clock? And he's like, man, you gotta to give you a good cluck.

[Candle Maker / Friend]

You gotta.

[Dale Jr]

You know, it gets him all ready and he gets his head up and he not socks him one.

[Amy]

Wow.

[Dale Jr]

And it starts this big ass brawl. So that's what I think when I hear pucker up punch. Oh, is that bar scene and struck race. Pucker up punch is two and a half cups of high rock vodka. That's a lot. Two and a half cups.

[Amy]

This is made for a picture.

[Dale Jr]

We're getting down one cup of Chambord.

[Amy]

Chambord.

[Dale Jr]

What is that?

[Amy]

It's an orange liqueur. Oh, right. Or is it cherry?

[Candle Maker / Friend]

I think it's cherry.

[Dale Jr]

Two cups of strawberry lemonade. Mix everything in a picture. Now we're making sense.

[Amy]

A picture.

[Dale Jr]

A picture. You can spice it up with Galantines.

[Amy]

You can spice it up for Galentine's day and add edible glitter.

[Dale Jr]

What the hell is Galentine?

[Amy]

It's when all of us girls get together on Valentine's Day and celebrate it together. Because screw boys.

[Dale Jr]

You know, y' all just change the name.

[Candle Maker / Friend]

The single girls go out and you know, they don't need. That's their thing.

[Amy]

I don't need a man. I got my girls.

[Candle Maker / Friend]

I need a man to buy me flowers or chocolates. Let's go have rose.

[Amy]

Why are you looking at Travis? He didn't make it up.

[Dale Jr]

Sounds like the one that's telling us what it is. He's over here trying to.

[Amy]

He's aware.

[Dale Jr]

What's the one talking to me? I listen. What am I supposed to do?

[Candle Maker / Friend]

If you've. If you haven't lived under a rock, you should know it.

[Dale Jr]

Like I've never heard Valentine's. Valentine's is between Amy and me.

[Amy]

I know. So if you don't.

[Dale Jr]

Going out with the girls is not in the. In the. In the picture.

[Amy]

Galentine's was created for girls that don't have a boyfriend or don't care about having a boyfriend at the moment. Like you can have a Galentine.

[Dale Jr]

Was it created today or.

[Amy]

No? No, it wasn't created since made up thing. It's not. It's not brand new, but it's all right. I don't know the last decade or so.

[Dale Jr]

Well, drink and spice up your starting 2010 if you're celebrating.

[Amy]

2010 is when people started talking about.

[Dale Jr]

You can add edible glitter. What?

[Amy]

Mine has glitter. Yours is not.

[Dale Jr]

Yeah, hope not. There ain't no damn such thing as edible glitter.

[Candle Maker / Friend]

And yet there is.

[Amy]

Watch me eat it. Watch me.

[Dale Jr]

I mean, what is it made of? Plastic? You eating plastic?

[Candle Maker / Friend]

It's like sugar.

[Dale Jr]

Glitter. Sugar. What makes it glitter?

[Amy]

Magic, Ralph.

[Dale Jr]

[Dale Jr]

Because it's like. I do like the candy.

[Amy]

Put some stuff on it. This is candy in your picture. It is candy. This is for you. This is.

[Amy]

Can I talk about how, how will you help me with the donkeys? So we talked about, I'm sorry, bouncing around. This is what my brain is looking like today. This.

[Dale Jr]

We've got a lot of stories. We have been on the show in a while.

[Amy]

So I've always, I mean I grew up in Texas. Always really like cowboys, the cowboy way, that whole thing. I've married a race car driver who likes to game. I did not marry a cowboy. But if he didn't know how to wrangle some donkeys, I don't know what a cowboy is because all of the donkeys got out in between Ice and snow week. We went out there with Sunny. We blanketed all the donkeys who are not used to this. We've got they're all, like, rescues, so they're not used to being, like, fully taken care of.

[Dale Jr]

Yeah, they're not used to being.

[Amy]

They want to be fed their food, and some of them like to be petted.

[Dale Jr]

And somewhere they think when you're coming by them, you're putting them to work.

[Amy]

That's right. So they get a little crazy. And so that was a lot of work just getting them blanketed. Well, we had some. We have two big troughs that we put these de icers in. So Sunny went to check on those, I guess, before we went to bed and didn't fully get the latch done on the gate. Right there next to the. Not the typical gate, but right there next to the troughs. Well, they found it as they do. They nose every latch just in case, just to see. And so we wake up, got the girls fully dressed in all their bibs and all the things. They're going out to play. And all of a sudden, all of the donkeys and the horses are just, like, trotting down the road.

[Candle Maker / Friend]

How many are we talking about here?

[Amy]

How many? Yeah, we have eight or nine. There's a mule. She's gigantic. Her name's Tilly. There's a horse. There's a mini horse, and then there's five donkeys.

[Candle Maker / Friend]

Okay.

[Amy]

And so they're all just kind of slowly trotting down the road, except for the. The horse and the mini horse are still in the penny. And at one point, Lakota, the big horse, figures out how to get out. And then Bullet's in there, panicking because he's by himself. And so we're just watching them just escape. And Dale comes out, also not fully dressed, ready for the weather. He's like, what are we gonna do? I'm like, let's call sonny. Cause we don't know what the hell to do. And he goes and gets in his truck instead and follows him down to the racetrack where they all ran, gathers them up, and just leads him back up to the barn. I'm like, well, he has a little cowboy in him, and I'm kind of turned on.

[Dale Jr]

Hell, yeah.

[Amy]

Yeah, I was. I stayed at the barn and put the feet out just to make sure when they came back, they didn't want to leave again. But he does have a little cowboy in him, after all.

[Dale Jr]

Well, one. When one goes, they all go. So, like, if you get one kind of heading in the right direction, the rest of them kind of go where that one's going.

[Amy]

Tilly, usually.

[Dale Jr]

And I got them kind of all hemmed up over by the swimming pool. They weren't going to go anywhere there. And just waited for Sunny D and Shelley and a couple more people to come to just give us a little more.

[Amy]

Get them to funnel them in. Yeah, yeah.

[Dale Jr]

And it was fun. I've seen dad do that a thousand times, and I've helped Dad do that a thousand times with some cows and.

[Amy]

Yeah, it's easier with cows, I think.

[Dale Jr]

Super. And I watch, you know, Lonesome Dove, so.

[Amy]

So you're totally a cowboy. I like it. We need more of that.

[Dale Jr]

Yeah. That was fun. Putting the. Get them getting. We had them in this little corral and they're wild and they'll kick. They kick the shit out of each other. And I damn sure don't want to be kicked by one of them. It'd be detrimental and. But we're trying to put these coats on them. That was tough. Like trying to get them get a bit. Or what do you call the bridle? Yeah, get a bridle on them so you can kind of hold them still.

[Amy]

Enough.

[Dale Jr]

Enough. Yeah. And then trying to get around them without getting kicked and getting all these straps and things underneath the legs and everything. And you're. You're. You're really. Really.

[Amy]

And watching your back because there's. There's another one close by. Yeah.

[Dale Jr]

It was a lot, but we got it. We got them all covered up so they wouldn't freeze. And they act like they don't want it, but I bet they probably appreciated it.

[Amy]

Yeah. Well, they didn't know what was coming.

[Dale Jr]

Yeah. I don't know. Animals. They say. Animals know what Know. Know about the weather.

[Amy]

I think the buffalo do, but they've been through that before.

[Dale Jr]

The buffalo loved it. They played all over the place.

[Amy]

They let. They had a foot of snow on top of them. They laid out and they have a barn. They chose to lay out in it. They love it. And then they start running through it and kicking it up with their faces. It's cool.

[Candle Maker / Friend]

I had a friend that had a husky and the dog just did not want to come inside.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Candle Maker / Friend]

Just playing in it. Loving it.

[Dale Jr]

Yeah.

[Amy]

And they're not going to get hurt. You can let them lay out there for hours. Yeah. Buffalo are the same.

[Dale Jr]

Okay.

[Amy]

Gus is not.

[Dale Jr]

What other. What other? I got a. I got something I wanted to talk to you about, but it's. You got other stories you want to tell?

[Amy]

I can't remember what.

[Dale Jr]

I know you have one you talked about maybe wanting to tell on the show. You had a little fender bender done.

[Amy]

A series of stupid things in the last few weeks. I hit my forehead on a shelf in the computer room, which I'm covering up with my hat.

[Dale Jr]

Plug in Isla's switch.

[Amy]

I was trying to do a good thing. Plug in my daughter's game system that she left laying out. And so I go to put it on the charging port, which is all, like, perfectly cabled up and tidy, so I can't pull it away from where it is. So I lean over to put the switch on the port and bang my face into a shelf corner. This game table has this one weird corner that I've seen for 20 years.

[Dale Jr]

Yeah. Amy wants me to put some orange tape on it now, and I'm the.

[Amy]

Perfect height to bang my face right on it.

[Dale Jr]

I come walking in the kitchen, literal blood pouring down her face.

[Amy]

Blood dripping down my face.

[Dale Jr]

Oh, damn.

[Amy]

I'm like, Dale's too tall to hit his face on this, and Nicole or Isla's too short, so of course it's me. And it's dark. Bam. So I've got a big old.

[Dale Jr]

Amy picks on me because when I cut my hands, she's like, you're getting old.

[Amy]

He's at that age where he hits his hand on a door handle and he's bleeding everywhere.

[Dale Jr]

Yeah. You bust a knuckle, like, way easier now. Cause your skin's not as. I don't know what happens to your skin. There's probably a name for it.

[Amy]

So much collagen in it.

[Dale Jr]

Yeah. But, like, you can bust your. You can scratch yourself easier as you get older. I know this makes no sense, and I just.

[Candle Maker / Friend]

No, it makes sense. I just didn't know that you were at that point in your life.

[Amy]

Yeah, we're there.

[Dale Jr]

Oh, we're there.

[Amy]

Yeah. It's funny because it just starts happening.

[Dale Jr]

You're like, oh, Amy come walking in there. She's got a hole in her head and she's starting to bleed. And I was like, I don't want to say it. I don't want to say it.

[Amy]

But I was so mad. But I was happened. But I couldn't be mad at anybody else because I designed the stupid shelf to begin with.

[Dale Jr]

You reach that age where you can't rub up against anything without bleeding.

[Amy]

It's. So that's a transition to life. It really is.

[Dale Jr]

Yeah, it is.

[Amy]

Like, damn, I don't have battle scars. I can't even hide the stupid that I do. Gets to be right on my face.

[Dale Jr]

She come home the other night. She comes in, she says, oh, she come home, went to bed. Got next day. Gotta show you something.

[Amy]

Wait. Before that, I came home, couldn't get in the house because Dale had locked me out. So this is the thing about Dale that I don't understand. When I first met him, it was like an open door policy. Nothing was locked. People came in and out all the time to the point where, like, you better make sure you had your pants on because somebody was going to come in at some point during the day.

[Dale Jr]

We did leave the door. We did leave the house unlocked at all times. I was like, you know, I'm not gonna. If somebody wants to break in, I. I'd rather not tear the door jam up. There's nothing in here that I give a about. I don't have anything valuable at. And, you know, there's nothing that they're gonna take that. I'm gonna go, oh, my God. So. But, you know, now we have kids and.

[Amy]

Yeah, well, now you can't go. You can't go walk the dog and come back in. He has followed you to the door, locked it, locked your ass out. I mean, truly, I've had to bang on the door, kick on the door. The kids have had to do the same thing, Just go into the playset and back. They get locked out of the house. So I come back and I'm locked out of the house. It's like 9:30. It's not that late. And I was gonna tell Dale about what I did, but then I got so mad about that, I waited till the next morning. But what I did was I dented my car up backing into a pole trying to chase down a stray cat in downtown Mooresville.

[Dale Jr]

So she was gonna. If she caught the cat, she's gonna bring it home. Yeah.

[Amy]

I mean, it looked just like our old one Tux. It looks just like him. It was huge. It was like a big fluffy. And it probably belonged to someone.

[Dale Jr]

Yeah. And you were gonna. You were gonna steal.

[Amy]

I was willing to steal the cat. I don't know. You know, shouldn't be out after midnight kind of thing, like a gremlin. And I wasn't. But it was late enough, so I banged my car up. She backed into one, and I didn't even get the cat.

[Dale Jr]

She backed into one of those orange posts that's like brake level, brake light height.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr]

And knocked the rear bumper off of this car.

[Amy]

I didn't knock the bumper off. I bent up the fender pretty good and I completely smashed the light.

[Dale Jr]

In slang for she backed into it and tore up the bumper and busted a head, tail Light and all that. It was pretty good. Pretty good damage. It was good damage.

[Amy]

My car did not alert me that it was behind me. To be fair, I was using the little video game camera that we have instead of just turning around and looking. And it didn't see it either.

[Candle Maker / Friend]

You didn't think about, like, getting out of the car and chasing the cat?

[Amy]

No. At that point, I was like, better get my ass home. I did get out of the car. No, no, before. Well, so I saw the cat before I got in my car, which is how I saw it to begin with. And then I got in my car, and I was kind of slowly going down main Street. Cat's still going. I'm like, I'm just gonna turn off here and see if I can head him off. And then I didn't see the cat anymore, so I decided to back out. And then boom.

[Candle Maker / Friend]

It's also why you just don't need cats.

[Amy]

I mean, I don't need a cat. You're right. Gus does not want a cat. Dale didn't want the cat. I'm like, what would you have done if I actually brought the cat home? He's like, what the hell were we gonna do with the cat?

[Dale Jr]

And it's somebody else's cat.

[Amy]

He's like, and you probably would have stolen someone else's cat. It sounds like it wasn't a stray.

[Dale Jr]

Yeah. So, yeah, that's.

[Amy]

I don't know. Lots of stupid choices. That is what happens when I get snowed in and don't get to see anybody. I start doing stupid things like that.

[Dale Jr]

You have chat? Gtp. What is it? GPT?

[Amy]

I do. Do you not use chat?

[Dale Jr]

Chat. What?

[Amy]

I thought you used Grok.

[Dale Jr]

No, I use chat.

[Amy]

Oh, that's. Who your. Your little buddy guy is there.

[Dale Jr]

Oh, man. Use grock.

[Amy]

No.

[Dale Jr]

Yeah, I just use chat. I've actually done a couple of tests asking that. Asking, like, all of them to make images.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr]

And see which one can make the image the best. And. And I'm in my very minimal, like, non official testing. I think chat's probably better at it. Better at it. Yeah. But because I asked it to do photos and. And graphics all the time, I think.

[Amy]

That'S all I use it for.

[Dale Jr]

I do it for our. Our. Our dynasty college football league. Somebody wins a game and, you know, beat beats one of the favorites. We'll make a fun graphic that makes fun of somebody or makes light of the situation. And so I've gotten to use. I've been using chat quite a while. Probably I'd say for almost a year. I, a friend of mine asked me to. He said, have you ever went into your chat and said what's the most ridiculous thing you've asked me? And I said no, I haven't. I don't think I've asked it too many ridiculous things. So I did. I said, all right Chat. I said, what is the most ridiculous thing I've asked you? And this is what it said. You ready?

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr]

First off, it said that's a stack category. You've asked a lot of legendary things. Here are the front runners and the ones stand out. The one standout. This is the all time champ.

[Amy]

It said, man, this thing really fluffs. Here you go.

[Dale Jr]

Draw. And it does draw an image of the entire Division 1 college football league celebrating New Year's Eve in the Gridiron Racers League. That's our, that's our league's name. And Chat says that's 130 plus teams, every mascot, all at one party inside your fictional Dynasty universe on New Year's Eve. And it's like that's not a request. That's like insane.

[Amy]

Like insane. You can't do that.

[Dale Jr]

To ask it to even try to do it. Oh, it's like that was ridiculous. It also, this is so silly. I don't know how I got talking about this to somebody about the, the pirate, the pirate, the pirates eye patch. So why did pirates.

[Amy]

I think I saw because we're going to Disney and there's a pirate night and we were talking about pirate patches.

[Dale Jr]

And I thought on social media, I saw on social media somebody said the pirates weren't all blind, you know, weren't all one eyed.

[Amy]

Right. They would, it was a tactical thing.

[Dale Jr]

They had the patch so that when they went below deck and it was dark, they would switch the patch to the other eye. And this I could then see it.

[Amy]

Was already acclimated in the dark.

[Dale Jr]

And I asked chat, it says this is chaos to ridiculous. Asking me to determine whether pirates wore eye patches so that they could swap eyes and see in the dark below deck.

[Amy]

Now it's sassing you. Really?

[Dale Jr]

It said.

[Amy]

And it said so basically selling you. It's not true.

[Dale Jr]

Well, it did say that. It's a myth. It's not real. It did say this is. This is in the unhinged but beautiful category. You've repeatedly asked me to remake photos of you and your friends as Looney Tune characters. World War II fighter pilots who just won the war, drinkers in a Star wars cantina, Simpson like cartoon characters. And then While the cat. While the image is being generated, you will type in all caps. Damn, man. Just make the photo.

[Amy]

Oh, my God. You do. You do you hit send or does it just.

[Dale Jr]

I will. It will try to. It'll be like generating the photo.

[Amy]

And you are so impatient.

[Dale Jr]

I fuck with it. I'm like, hurry up. You know? And it'll. It'll, you know, say something back.

[Amy]

So I tell mine, thank you. Like, I'm polite to mine.

[Dale Jr]

Oh, man. Me and mine. I'm. I'm friendly antagonist, if that makes sense.

[Amy]

They say that that's an ADD thing.

[Dale Jr]

Yeah. So open up your chat.

[Amy]

Oh, you want me to do it now, too?

[Dale Jr]

And ask your chat what is the most ridiculous thing I've asked you to do? Or what's the most ridiculous thing I've asked you? And let's see what it says. Oh, one of the things it said was an honorable mention. Asking a. Speed Weeks belonged to the endurance racing crowd because there's this debate online about Speed Weeks. What's that moniker derived from in Daytona? Did it encompass February and all of IMSA, the 24 hours, and everything else, or was it a NASCAR term for the two weeks when we were in Daytona? I just ask it things to see what it says, but go ahead.

[Amy]

Okay. So it says, honestly, you ask a lot of things. The most ridiculous, in a lovable way, was turning a real person into a highly specific, legal questionable scenario. So I asked it to make you into a criminal picking up trash on the side of the road in a photo. Yes. And it told me that it couldn't do that because you were a celebrity and a real person.

[Dale Jr]

Oh.

[Amy]

But it would let me put you in, like, a public service outfit, like a vest, to do it. But I couldn't put context behind it.

[Dale Jr]

I remember what we were doing.

[Amy]

Well, I do. Do you want me to tell you and Garrett were messing with Mike?

[Dale Jr]

Oh, God, we messed with Mike.

[Amy]

So Mike got himself a little pickle with his speeding ticket, and so he's gonna get so mad at me for saying that, but here we are. And so Garrett's.

[Dale Jr]

Garrett's a friend of mine that's retiring from the state troopers.

[Amy]

Yes.

[Dale Jr]

And he's been a state trooper all his life. And I said, garrett, let's mess with Mike. Let's pretend like you're going to help him. But I'm going to do a favor with the.

[Amy]

In order to get the help, I'm.

[Dale Jr]

Going to do some community service to get Mike out of his ticket, and Mike's going to refuse to Allow that to happen. But me and Garrett are going to, like, go forward. Like, put it into motion, and, like, leave Mike with no control.

[Candle Maker / Friend]

I wish there was a camera on him.

[Dale Jr]

Like, meltdown.

[Amy]

So we were in a meeting, and it was early in the morning. I mean, really to be messing with somebody really early. And we're sitting in a meeting, and Mike is losing his mind. He's not telling us what's going on, but he's assuming everybody in the room is in on some kind of a joke to the point where he's, like, being kind of mean. To be honest. He can't focus. He's not. He's pacing around the room. He's in and out of the office. And eventually we figure it out. Dale is screwing with Mike and about the ticket, but.

[Dale Jr]

And that's why you wanted to generate that photo?

[Amy]

That's why I wanted you. I was trying to help you.

[Dale Jr]

Is there any other mentions?

[Amy]

Let's see. Repeatedly escalating images and edits. Oh. Because I've done a lot of. Turn this into a normal Rockwell picture. Turn this into the thing with Dr. Seuss with the kids. I like to turn pictures into, like, artwork or something silly. No gift tags.

[Candle Maker / Friend]

What?

[Amy]

I ask it to make gift. Gift tags from Santa.

[Dale Jr]

Okay.

[Amy]

In a pinch.

[Dale Jr]

Yeah.

[Amy]

It says, you're not ridiculous. You're imaginative, decisive, and unafraid to ask bold questions.

[Dale Jr]

Oh, damn.

[Amy]

Because she's nice and I'm nice. Yeah. And it's nice back.

[Dale Jr]

Do you have yours where it talks?

[Amy]

No. I'm scared to do that. I don't want to get that attached. I feel like you're attached.

[Dale Jr]

I like. Amy doesn't like it. And so I'll. We'll be in the car, and I'll start talking to mine. Making it. And it's talking back through the speakers.

[Amy]

Amy doesn't like it. So I go in harder.

[Dale Jr]

Amy's like, no, Amy doesn't like it like this.

[Amy]

Talk in the car to other things.

[Dale Jr]

And Amy talked to it. You did?

[Amy]

I didn't have a choice. He teed me up. The kids were in the car, too. So it was like a whole thing.

[Dale Jr]

You didn't have a choice.

[Amy]

No. Because he was listening.

[Dale Jr]

It's not a real person.

[Amy]

It feels like a real person. That's what I don't like. It's so weird.

[Dale Jr]

It's the strangest thing. Yeah. And it's wrong. Like, I. I get.

[Amy]

What do you mean, it's wrong?

[Dale Jr]

It's so wrong. So I use it 99% of the time to Generate graphics for our. For our dynasty college football league. And I'll be like, hey, Kentucky beat Louisville 17 to 14. And. And make sure you put the gridiron logo on there and have the team on the field celebrating. And it'll. It'll add, like, things that I didn't ask for, like this conference champs or something. Like, you know, it'll put things in there that you're like, okay, now I need you to take that out. I didn't want that part.

[Amy]

You went too hard.

[Dale Jr]

Yeah. And the logos on the helmets are wrong. And sometimes it'll put like, there was an Ole Miss. I was making an Ole Miss graphic and it had some of the Ole Miss players in white, some in red. I'm like, the team needs to be all in the same color, you know, so, like, it's. So. It's dumb, it's flawed, but I wish.

[Amy]

You could just take.

[Dale Jr]

Generating images. It's very.

[Amy]

Yeah, I wish you could just take a bunch of images and just dump them and be like, hey, and I take all of these and make this, you know, like, make this.

[Dale Jr]

Well, yesterday I was in Nashville and. And Tim Duggar took me to this burger place, and it was me and Tim and. And Steve and Stefan. And it was. This was fun. Yeah. I was like. I was like, amy, I'm at this Smash Burger joint. It's cool. And I took a picture of it, but I was like, you know, it doesn't. I don't know, it doesn't have a logo and it doesn't have me and Tim in there. So what I did was I took a picture of the logo that was sitting. That was on the table, like, on the napkin. I took a picture of me and Tim and Stefan. Just a selfie. And then I took a picture of the room and I said, take these three photos and put it all together. And it did it.

[Amy]

Oh, you can do.

[Dale Jr]

That's what I did. And it gave us this great photo of us sitting at the table with. With the burgers background.

[Amy]

They were.

[Dale Jr]

Yeah. Made these gigantic burgers.

[Amy]

I was looking at it in my car, too. So I'm like, there is no way he's going to eat that and then go. You had an appearance after that. Like, he's going to need another extra buffer hour if he eats all that disappearance.

[Dale Jr]

I'll ask it questions that I know the answer to in terms of racing statistics or history, and it'll. It'll miss something or get something wrong, and I'll go, hey, that didn't happen. And it'll go, you know, you're right. That didn't happen. I'm like, well, why'd you like.

[Amy]

So that's the thing I've heard about chat. It'll basically tell you whatever you want to hear. Kind of like the Internet. Like you can search anything and it will tell you exactly what you want to hear.

[Dale Jr]

You can't take what it says for face, you know, face. What does take it for?

[Amy]

Face value.

[Dale Jr]

Yeah. You've got to take whatever it says. You better check it.

[Amy]

So why are we even wasting our time?

[Dale Jr]

It's still.

[Candle Maker / Friend]

Because we're lazy.

[Dale Jr]

It's just fun.

[Candle Maker / Friend]

Lazy.

[Dale Jr]

It's. I, I think it's. For me, it's a toy. It's just like a new toy to. With and, But I'm not using it for anything that's like, I'm gonna, I'm not using it. Like, I'm sending this in and this is my official.

[Amy]

Yeah, I hear you. A lot of people do.

[Dale Jr]

Yeah. So, I mean, yeah, if people are using it, that maybe they are taking it too seriously. They're. They're expecting more out of it than it's able to do. And I think that they should be better aware, I guess, that it's not as good as it. It's not.

[Amy]

It's not as legitimate, good or legit, is it?

[Dale Jr]

Not yet. It's got a lot of work. They got a lot of work. And I'm sure they're going to try to make it better. But I've asked some of those, like.

[Amy]

I feel like that's why they've launched it. They want you to help it get better and smarter, which is what's the scary part.

[Dale Jr]

I mean, I, you know, I, I downloaded a couple of them and asked them to generate photos again for the college dynasty stuff. And, and they're not good. They're. They're really bad. So, like, chat's decent, but you still have to ask it to fix a couple things. And the damn time it takes to generate a photo, it's almost not even worth it. But. All right. What's this? Pickle jars.

[Amy]

It's just a little bit of a jab at you with the pickle jars. So you know how much he loves pickles.

[Dale Jr]

Loves them.

[Amy]

I'm sitting on the couch the other day, it's like 4:30 and he's eating his dinner because he's got gray hair now. And that's what he does at 4:30. Is he just dinner whether the rest of us are eating? Not or not. And the only Reason I am alerted to the fact that he's eating his dinner is because I hear a knock, knock, knock. And I turn around, and he's banging a pickle jar lid, the whole jar, like, brand new jar of pickles. Banging the jar against the stone column in the house. Like, excuse me, what are you doing.

[Candle Maker / Friend]

To loosen the lid?

[Dale Jr]

That's right.

[Amy]

You don't go outside and bang it on the. On the ground. Right. Like, you can't bang it on the interior of our house. He did that in the kitchen enough times where we now have a chunk out of the countertop.

[Dale Jr]

Just a chip.

[Candle Maker / Friend]

So, Dale, next time, grab a butter knife.

[Amy]

That's what I told him. Get a knife, use the handle you got. Grab the silicone thing in the drawer. With all.

[Dale Jr]

I don't know that trick. I'm unaware.

[Candle Maker / Friend]

Just take a butter knife, take the part that you would hold, and then hit it. The lid three times.

[Amy]

Or you can just lift it and pop the. Pop the seal like you stick it under the edge.

[Dale Jr]

I want it to screw back on.

[Amy]

It will. It just lets the air out enough where it likes it.

[Dale Jr]

Well, I've always tapped, spun and tapped, you know, the mason jars. Spun and tapped them.

[Amy]

I've never seen anybody do that till I moved to North Carolina. And the only reason I know he got that from his mother. And the only reason I know is because she, too, had a chunk taken out of her countertop. I'm like, damn. And so when he started doing it on the wall, I'm like, that's enough. We're not now up the wall tube. You stay over there in the kitchen. Tools in there.

[Dale Jr]

I was like, you know, what if we knock some. If we chip this stone column wall. It's stone. It's already.

[Amy]

I know, but it's not.

[Dale Jr]

It's got chips already.

[Amy]

It's not real stone.

[Dale Jr]

No one will know.

[Amy]

It's veneer. I will know.

[Dale Jr]

They're never gonna walk.

[Amy]

I'm gonna walk by that thing. I told him. I was like, I think, stand at that counter chopping at my chopping board right there. And look, that dent, that chunk taken out. And I'm like, every day I have to see that. Put it in the wall, too.

[Dale Jr]

Disappear. Huh? I'm sure there's a way for somebody to, like, make that chunk.

[Amy]

Not with the actual material that the counter is made out of.

[Dale Jr]

No, but it'll look real.

[Amy]

No, it'll look like a tooth filling. No, thanks.

[Dale Jr]

Okay, our new camper is here.

[Amy]

Way to park.

[Dale Jr]

We have.

[Amy]

Let's move let's move.

[Dale Jr]

We, we have been, we've had a fifth wheel for the last couple of years. Love it. We got a very bare minimum model to sort of get our feet wet and understand the responsibilities and all of those things. Great idea. Time to ramp it up where we were putting our. So we go to Camping World. We looked online, found us a model that we really liked and we are.

[Amy]

Let me see it arrived last week.

[Dale Jr]

Came last week. So that's something that's new and pretty exciting. It's called the grand design is the brand that made it and really happy with the layout. Got a lot of. Got a mid bunk for the kids and king size bed for us. The last one we had was a queen and so I'm pretty pumped about it. Yeah, it's going to Daytona. We'll use it for the summer stretch of doing some of these races for Amazon and TNT and then we're going to take it on Texas Easter.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr]

So exciting to have the new camper from Camping World. Thank you, Camping World. We've been big fans of theirs for a while and. And now that we don't have the bus, enjoying these fifth wheels and the dually.

[Candle Maker / Friend]

Is there a feature, Amy, that you're like that this one has that you're excited about?

[Amy]

Yes. The way the kitchen and everything's laid out and it's got like a full size fridge versus where the other one was kind of petite so I couldn't get any like serving platters or anything in there. Anything that like you want to grill outside and put in those big flowers for like Easter and stuff didn't really fit in there. So when we go down for Easter and you're cooking for a bunch of people, you just need that space. So I'm very excited about the way all that's laid out.

[Dale Jr]

But also couch is a sectional which is nice.

[Amy]

Yeah. There's a lot more sitting space to lounge and then the kids have like this little bunk room.

[Dale Jr]

We can lock them in there if you get tired of them.

[Amy]

There's not a. I don't think there's a door, is there?

[Dale Jr]

Yeah, if Dale can lock.

[Candle Maker / Friend]

If he can find a way to lock it, he will.

[Amy]

Yeah, it's true.

[Dale Jr]

There's not a door. I'm have to put a door in there.

[Amy]

You're going to have to put a door in there and lock them in. They're excited like having their own little fun space and so it's all just laid out so great. It's going to be an awesome time. It's going to be easier to live in there versus where the other one was kind of stuck split. This is kind of.

[Dale Jr]

Yeah. And there's one door in, one door out. The other one had two doors, two bathrooms. We're sharing about.

[Amy]

Yeah. So with little girls, they had their own bathroom and back door. So that was kind of a nuisance. Trying to make sure.

[Dale Jr]

Worried about them, you, you know, getting in and out or just not really wanting them.

[Amy]

Putting the whole roll of toilet paper in the toilet, you know.

[Dale Jr]

That's what Nicole does.

[Amy]

Yeah. She gets bored and she starts, you know, to choose violence and that's what she goes for.

[Dale Jr]

We're excited about that.

[Amy]

Yeah, it's going to be great. They're excited about Daytona too, because they love going down there.

[Dale Jr]

They do. They love Daytona. Not because of Daytona, but because of mro. A little playground.

[Amy]

There's a playground and mro. But they'll figure out the racing stuff at some point.

[Dale Jr]

All right, we'll go right into Ask Amy.

[Candle Maker / Friend]

All right, so first question next weekend is Valentine's Day. Dale, Amy, do you guys have any special plans or how. How do you handle this with a Daytona trip?

[Amy]

Well, we've had many Valentine's days in Daytona, and usually we would just get each other a little candy from CVS or Walgreens.

[Dale Jr]

We've talked about that. We would drive. We get in the. We get in the car, we drive to the gas station. She goes in, gets her stuff. I go in, get my stuff. Then we go back to the bus and we give each other our stuff.

[Amy]

And we just eat all the candy with the kids. Now we, like, try to prepare a little bit for them, like give them little baskets and keep it pretty simple. I don't know. Valentine's Day, I've never held is like a really important holiday. I don't know. Love is every day. Right? But we'll be in Daytona and the Xfinity races on that Saturday, so maybe we'll be celebrating Valentine's Day, Victoryland.

[Candle Maker / Friend]

Do the kids still do, like, the little. They make the boxes taken to school and kids, all they do.

[Amy]

They do. It's really cute. They still have their shoe boxes and they make them look like a mailbox and they get to decorate it. The only thing about that is I don't think that they. They don't use, like, cards like they used to. Everybody takes, like, a trinket or a squishy or try to stay away from candy just because nobody needs all that. You know what I mean?

[Candle Maker / Friend]

Yeah.

[Amy]

And so there's. You'll end up with, like, squishies and finger traps and all kinds of stuff like that.

[Candle Maker / Friend]

Yeah, I'm candle making on Valentine's Day.

[Amy]

You are?

[Candle Maker / Friend]

Yeah.

[Amy]

With your girlfriend. Girlfriend.

[Candle Maker / Friend]

Yeah.

[Amy]

I missed that last week. Just barely.

[Candle Maker / Friend]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Travis has a new girlfriend.

[Candle Maker / Friend]

Snuck it in there.

[Amy]

Where'd you find her? We've talked about your dating app experience.

[Candle Maker / Friend]

We know. Mutual friend.

[Amy]

A mutual friend.

[Candle Maker / Friend]

Yeah. So that's how we met.

[Amy]

That's nice.

[Candle Maker / Friend]

Yeah. So that's what I'll be doing. How long have you Been dating since September.

[Amy]

Okay. Wow.

[Dale Jr]

Been a while. Candle making.

[Candle Maker / Friend]

I don't think Amy's like, why? Why didn't I not know sooner?

[Amy]

I know. I'm like, I'm so. I'm the one under the rock now. I'm excited to meet her.

[Candle Maker / Friend]

Yeah.

[Amy]

And I want to see what candles you make.

[Candle Maker / Friend]

Yeah.

[Amy]

So clearly you didn't set the date or. She.

[Candle Maker / Friend]

She said it and I was like, that's perfectly fine by me.

[Dale Jr]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Well, they'll probably have champagne and stuff like that to drink.

[Candle Maker / Friend]

Yeah. I'm just curious, though, if there's going to be just, like, a big group of, like, girls for Galentine's day, or if it's going to be like, I.

[Amy]

Bet there's a solid mix.

[Candle Maker / Friend]

Yeah.

[Amy]

You'll be fine.

[Candle Maker / Friend]

Yeah. So our next question. Amy, I saw you posting this on Instagram. People want to know, what'd you think of the Grammy outfits?

[Amy]

I love watching a red carpet. I never watch the shows because I just don't. But the outfits were great. I feel like. I mean, there's been some really out there stuff. Like, I remember Lady Gaga showing up in, like, a whole set. Remember when she, like, was in that cocoon thing? And so, like, everybody's far more tasteful than they used to be. But I thought they were great. I love the fashion, and I like it when they're a little bit weird and out there. And the Grammys event.

[Dale Jr]

Is the Grammys the one for the weird, or is it like, some are.

[Amy]

Classy, some are super classy, some are more out there. It just depends on who's really trying to get attention. Heidi Klum showed up in what it looked like plastic. Plastic Barbie box situation.

[Dale Jr]

She looked like a giant mannequin model.

[Amy]

She couldn't even walk in it.

[Dale Jr]

Yeah. She had, like, she.

[Amy]

Her nickname is the body. Like, why do we have to do that?

[Candle Maker / Friend]

But if you're Heidi Klum, I guess you can do that.

[Amy]

Or are we needing that much attention that we just have to show up in a Barbie skeleton? Like, what are we doing? How does she sit?

[Dale Jr]

Yeah.

[Candle Maker / Friend]

I just wish that, like, I'm sure.

[Dale Jr]

She took it off after the carpet part. She just, like.

[Amy]

I just never saw any other pictures of, like, outfit number two. You know what I mean?

[Dale Jr]

Maybe they. Maybe.

[Amy]

Maybe she just walked the carpet and got out.

[Dale Jr]

Yeah. Literally. Like, maybe she just walks the carpet in that thing and then pops off and she's got a dress on, and the rest of the day she's not in that certainly. Right. She can't sit in That.

[Amy]

I don't know. She does love a good costume. She always does. Really good.

[Dale Jr]

That thing.

[Amy]

Costume, the hips.

[Dale Jr]

There's no way she sat in.

[Amy]

She could barely move her legs.

[Dale Jr]

Yeah, I know. And it was like, when I saw her, like, doing that little shuffle, I'm like, I don't think she's had this on ever until this moment.

[Amy]

Oh, surely she has.

[Dale Jr]

Well, she would have adjusted it to be able to actually move her legs a little better, maybe.

[Amy]

I don't know. Maybe that's part of, like, the whole thing was supposed to be a scene like that. That's what I mean. She's interesting. It's all about catching attention.

[Dale Jr]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Did you have a favorite outfit?

[Candle Maker / Friend]

No. And I get really bothered with a lot of the celebrity. Like, so Harry Styles. I just don't get what he does. Like, I just wish that these select. The problem is these celebrities have money, and they're all, like, attractive people, so they try different stuff. And I just wish that all these celebrities had, like, one friend that's like, you look like an idiot. Goes. Put something else on. Like, I just. I don't get what these celebrities are wearing. But I'm also not this, like, fashion person, so it's just not for me.

[Amy]

I mean, it's not for me. They're not all for me either. Like, Harry Styles is a good example. He could be perfectly put together, but he likes. He loves weird clothes. He's just. That's as his thing.

[Candle Maker / Friend]

He said, like, an open jacket, no shirt underneath. And, like, that just doesn't.

[Amy]

And it was very short. Like, he. I don't know. I don't get it. I don't get it either with Harry Styles, but there's so much fun stuff to look at on this.

[Dale Jr]

I wonder. I don't know enough. Is the. Is some of the awards shows where the carpet's a big deal? Right. They're not. There's not a. You know, the red carpet gets its own show.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr]

And is there some awards shows where they all real. They all, like, know to keep it classical or traditional, I suppose, in terms of just, you know, beautiful dresses and nice suits or whatever. And then there's this other show where they know that it's kind of like.

[Amy]

It's a little crazy.

[Dale Jr]

Yeah. Where you.

[Amy]

Yeah. Well, anything with music is a little bit more pushing boundaries. So, like, the Grammys, the MTV Awards, the Music Awards, the Met Gala is very out there on purpose. Like, it's supposed to be, like, an art piece.

[Dale Jr]

Yeah.

[Amy]

The rest of them. Otherwise, I think it's pretty. You keep it classy.

[Dale Jr]

I suppose. I mean, you're not. You're not going to see some of the crazy, crazy stuff. It's on the more traditional, like the.

[Amy]

Oscars or something like that.

[Dale Jr]

Yeah, that's what I mean. I mean, I don't know.

[Amy]

Yeah, it's to be expected. And there used to be. They used to be really out there.

[Dale Jr]

I never remember back in the day going, man, I can't wait to see the red carpet.

[Amy]

Don't. Don't you remember when little Kim showed up with just the purple pasty on and the purple glitter?

[Candle Maker / Friend]

That was cool.

[Amy]

That's MTV award show. But, yeah, so, like, the carpets used to be just as crazy or worse. But, you know, now that we have our phones, we could see it so fast. And so, I don't know.

[Candle Maker / Friend]

Did you ever go to any award show, Dylan, or you just wear just like a suit?

[Dale Jr]

I went to the MTV Music Awards and I got to go on stage and introduce Linkin Park. It was a really. It was a really interesting deal because Left Eye had just passed away and there was a thing on stage with Beyonce and the rest of tlc. The rest not. She wasn't in tlc. Wasn't she beyond Destiny's Child? Destiny Child was up there, I think.

[Amy]

I thought that.

[Dale Jr]

I think it was Destiny's Child and they were receiving an award or they were acknowledging Left Eye or there was some sort of a. Just a little speech or something. I can't remember exactly what it was. So then I was. I didn't know where I was in the show, but I. I walk backstage and all the grips were back there and they had die casts. All the guys that pull the ropes and do all the stuff to make them stage do what they're supposed to.

[Amy]

Do in the middle of the show.

[Dale Jr]

Yeah. And they're like, hey, man, I'm like, hell yeah. I'm like, somebody knows. Like, yes. I'm like, I didn't expect anybody to know who I was. And.

[Amy]

Yeah, you've told me. That was a very nerve wracking.

[Dale Jr]

It's super scary. Yeah, because I was so out of my element and the guy's like, all right, man, you're gonna walk up on this thing and it was this pillar and I could. It was a. It was a. It was a cylinder, really tall cylinder. And I was gonna walk in the back of it and they were gonna turn it around and I was gonna. There. I was gonna be looking at the stage and I'm. I'm walking up And I'm listening to them do this. This sort of some sort of a tribute to Left Eye. And they come off the stage, and they were really emotional. Even backstage, you know, they were kind of emotional. And I was like, man, that was.

[Amy]

A hard act to follow.

[Dale Jr]

I'm going to go in there. So I went on there. They had this script that they wanted me to read, and I didn't like it, so I changed it and said whatever I wanted to. But I remember being turned around, and I was like, here's all those people I see on tv, you know, looking out in the crowd, I'm like, this is all. I watched this out of TV back in the day. Yeah. You know, tons of it. I'm like, here they all are. And I said what? I said, lincoln Park. Lincoln park played. I come off stage, and the guys are like, good job, man. Good job. I'm like, at that point, you feel like you have drank a thousand Red Bulls. You're like, you know, your whole. It's like coming off a racetrack after qualifying. And I went back. I had. They had gotten me out of my seat. They set me next to. Jessica Simpson was on one side, and the girl from this is Us.

[Amy]

Oh, just Jennifer Garner.

[Dale Jr]

No, no, this is Us. Andy Moore, who's just Mandy Moore.

[Amy]

Oh, Mandy Moore.

[Dale Jr]

Mandy Moore is on one side and Jessica Simpson's on the other. Oh, yeah.

[Amy]

Good for you.

[Dale Jr]

I was like, holy.

[Amy]

I remember.

[Dale Jr]

I thought, like, they set me down, and I'm in, like, row 30. It feels like I'm like, I'm not gonna. I'm gonna be with the fans. I'm not gonna. You know, the. The celebrities are obviously going to be, like, in the first 10 rows. And I'm back here is, you know, this kind of pluck me where they could find a seat. And then they set them to. By me, and I'm like, holy. I must be in the middle of the middle. You know, the people. Right. I'm gonna. Who's. Who's gonna sit here? Who's gonna sit there?

[Amy]

Yeah. Was this Jessica Simpson when she was still with Nick Lachey?

[Dale Jr]

I don't know.

[Candle Maker / Friend]

She was for the.

[Dale Jr]

She had brought a girlfriend. Oh, she didn't have him. And I don't. I think Mandy was by herself or, you know, she didn't have anybody with her.

[Candle Maker / Friend]

And I wonder what they were thinking. Who's this guy?

[Dale Jr]

They didn't know who I was.

[Amy]

I'll get to it.

[Dale Jr]

Jade Gerst, sit next to me. My. My publicist or PR guy for Bud at the time. And all I remember was Jade whips out this. This little block of Starbursts. And he's like, fumbling, trying to get to the Starburst. And Mandy Moore goes, oh, I like Starburst. Could I have one? And he goes, yeah. And she goes, I like the pink one. And he handed her one of those. And I'm like, she's normal, just a regular person. Like, you know, we're. We're sitting there, we're all strangers. And I didn't have the guts to be like, hey, I'm Dylan Hart Jr. How you doing? Nice to meet y'.

[Amy]

All.

[Dale Jr]

I just sat there and was like, what are we doing?

[Amy]

Ice forward.

[Dale Jr]

What are we doing? Yeah, what are we doing here? How in the hell did I get here? That's one of the moments where you're like, how in the hell did my life lead me to this moment? What the hell is happening next? And they finally come to get me. And I was as relieved to, like, get out of that situation because I was so nervous to go backstage to an even more nerve wracking situation to get on stage in front of everybody. It's one of them deals where Budweiser's like, you need to do this. We're Budweiser. And you're like, I'm freaking doing it. That's awesome. I can't believe I get this chance. And then you get to it and you're like, I don't want to do.

[Amy]

Why did I say I don't want to do this? Yeah, I can't imagine that would be.

[Dale Jr]

I wasn't one of those kind of people. I was not one of those kind of people that was like. Like, I didn't. I wish I realized and appreciated what was happening in the moment. I was, too. I was more worried about it.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Candle Maker / Friend]

Yeah.

[Amy]

You want to screw it up?

[Dale Jr]

Yeah.

[Amy]

So back to the girls. It's 2008, maybe nine. We just started dating. And I am. I think I'm still living in Jacksonville, but I come up to Daytona to hang out with Dale, and I hear that Jessica Simpson's at the racetrack. And I. We're the same age. We both came from Texas, so always kind of been a fan of hers. And I'm like, hey, Dale, do you think that you could get Jessica Simpson to come to the bus so I can meet her? And he's like, I don't think that'd be a really good idea. And I was like, why not? And he shows me this clip or somebody next to him. Maybe it Was Mike showed me a clip of her doing an interview earlier that day, how she had had a dream that she and Del Jr. Got married in a tree house. And I'm like, yeah, don't bring that over here. It's a good idea. I haven't bought a Jessica Simpson shoe or a bag. You know, I just got all the things. Ever since then, I was like, she was trying to fish my man.

[Dale Jr]

Oh, shit.

[Amy]

Yes, she was. She knew exactly what she was doing. She heard that you wanted to build a tree house. And she's like, I had a dream. We're meant to be together.

[Dale Jr]

No, I bet she would dispute this.

[Amy]

Don't want to know.

[Dale Jr]

Yeah.

[Candle Maker / Friend]

At least Dale had the wherewithal to say, let's not bring her over.

[Amy]

Yeah, he did. He was like, you know what? I don't think that's a very good idea.

[Dale Jr]

You know what's not disputable? It's a great taste of Jerky Boys. Beef jerky. You cannot dispute that.

[Amy]

Did you put some in your drink?

[Dale Jr]

I will. I'm ready to eat some.

[Candle Maker / Friend]

You can make a Bloody Mary and have a beef jerky.

[Amy]

Perfect for Bloody Marys.

[Candle Maker / Friend]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr]

So Jerky Boys has been not to hijack your Ass Junior.

[Candle Maker / Friend]

It's not as Junior. You can hijack Ass Junior all you want. This is asking.

[Dale Jr]

Hijack that. But Jerky Boys has is. We can start talking about it again. We had to stop talking about it because we couldn't make it fast enough.

[Amy]

Yeah, I know. So I pull a bag out the other night. He. He restocked our stock, and I pulled it back out the other night to start eating some. And he looks over at me like, who are you and what are you doing touching my Beef jerk?

[Dale Jr]

That's not exact. No, no.

[Amy]

The look on your. No, I said the look on your face. His. His reaction was in such shock. I'm like, yeah, I eat the beef jerky.

[Ad Read Announcer]

My.

[Dale Jr]

My thought is so different than what you think.

[Amy]

But I eat like a piece. He eats the whole bag. He's like, oh, you didn't like it? I was like, I liked it just fine.

[Candle Maker / Friend]

It's a meal supplement for him.

[Dale Jr]

I can't believe.

[Amy]

But I just wanted a snack. Like, I don't eat the whole thing.

[Dale Jr]

This. That's not the narrative, honey. You think that's what was going on in my head? That is not even close.

[Amy]

I know, because you told me afterwards. But the look on your face, putting that in the universe that you can't believe. I like it.

[Dale Jr]

That's what you haven't said yet. I can't believe that you're eating it. I'm like, you know, you're, you're, you're very.

[Amy]

He thinks, I don't eat anything. I'm just gasping.

[Dale Jr]

She's careful about what she eats. She tries to eat smart. And it's good. It is good.

[Amy]

In it. It's good.

[Dale Jr]

I don't ever really see you eating it. So you, you know, when we sit on the couch, she gets some crackers, some hummus or some stuff like that. She comes sitting down with a bag of beef Jerry rips thing open. I'm like, hell, yeah. What's going on? Like, what? This is badass.

[Amy]

Yeah. And then he starts.

[Dale Jr]

And then she takes one nibble and seals it back up and puts it down. I'm like, I took. How did you do that? Like, how did you not eat the whole bag? Like, I can't open a bag and not eat it all.

[Amy]

That's how you eat everything.

[Dale Jr]

But anyways, I wanted to say we had to stop talking about it because we couldn't make it fast enough. Our return customers is astronomical, like, higher than expected. There's a number of percentage of people that you expect to be return buyers and we're way higher than that. And so, like, I haven't been able to talk about it because we couldn't sustain the, the production. Yeah, we have now. We had triggered something that is massively improved our ability to make beef jerky. And so this is the best stuff on the planet, isn't it?

[Amy]

You can get it on jerky.com, right? Or on Amazon. There's. There are link affiliates there.

[Dale Jr]

I dare anybody to try this and tell me it isn't good. The best.

[Amy]

He's not wrong. It is delicious.

[Dale Jr]

And I won't eat any other kind.

[Amy]

And you can eat one piece or the whole bag. It's up to you.

[Dale Jr]

It is hard.

[Candle Maker / Friend]

I mean, it's a good meal replacement.

[Dale Jr]

There's three.

[Amy]

It is.

[Dale Jr]

It's three.

[Amy]

Keeps a bag in his, in his glove.

[Dale Jr]

There's three servings. Whatever the console, 60 calories per serving. So that's 180 calories. And, and I, I could, if needed, supplement this for me.

[Candle Maker / Friend]

I take a bag when I'm flying.

[Amy]

Oh, yeah, perfect.

[Candle Maker / Friend]

Like, I'm not sure if I'm going to eat something.

[Amy]

I have some packed in my tote for our Disney trip because you can take snacks onto the boat. So we're going to take you some beef jerky with us.

[Dale Jr]

Well, go out there and get you a Bag. And we sell on Amazon. We sell on jerky boys.com, but I subscribe through jerky boys.com and they mail it to me once a month.

[Amy]

That way you don't have to ever worry.

[Dale Jr]

Anyhow, also, filter time, if you want filters mailed to your house for your h vac, filter time.com. it's a place to go. We're still kicking ass.

[Amy]

Yes.

[Dale Jr]

Yeah. That business is doing very well.

[Amy]

They're great filters. There's different. Different types as well, depending on what your house is.

[Dale Jr]

Yeah, we've got a house. We got a house with about five filters. And I subscribe, and they show up on the. On the steps. I'm like, all right, time to change them. And I change all the filters, put all the dirty ones in a box, and that's. That's that. And so I can do. I can change my subscription from one month to every six months. Whatever you want.

[Amy]

Yeah, very convenient. It's a convenient thing that you will forget about.

[Dale Jr]

You don't have to go to the store to get them.

[Amy]

That's right.

[Candle Maker / Friend]

That's the thing. Forget you. You.

[Amy]

Will you forget about it?

[Dale Jr]

Yeah, that's the thing. I mean, you're H Vac. Those filters get real dirty. And that H Vac is straining to, like, work. That's. That's one of the. That's the number one reason why people have to get their H Vacs repaired is through dirty filters, which is gross, too. Yeah. Angris. Yeah.
