[Dale Jr.]

The following is a production of Dirty Mo Media.

[Travis]

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.

[Travis]

Working that mouth. All right. Hi, guys. Dale Jr. I are in the DirtyMomedia studio for another round of Bless yous Heart. We're excited to be here. I had a birthday yesterday and I can happily say that I didn't just get one carrot cake. I got two.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah, that's true.

[Travis]

It was a good day. So let's get started.

[Amy]

You also have a gift.

[Travis]

I do?

[Amy]

Yep. Turn around. Flowers from Pyroc.

[Travis]

How cute is that? There's little tiny. Hi. Rock bottles in the flower arrangement.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah. Pretty neat.

[Travis]

That's adorable.

[Dale Jr.]

There you go. Well, we had a lot of fun yesterday. Went to dinner.

[Travis]

Yeah, it was pretty chill day.

[Dale Jr.]

Yep. There's a. There's a steakhouse in Mooresville that's called Epic Chop House and awesome Place. We go there quite a lot for special events for our family and so forth. There's a lot of great restaurants downtown Mooresville. Downtown Mooresville's changed quite a bit.

[Travis]

It's got a kind resurgence which is

[Dale Jr.]

shout out to all those new businesses down there. But Epic is kind of the one of our favorites. One of her. One of the first ones too.

[Travis]

Yes.

[Dale Jr.]

It was in the revitalization of the of the downtown area. Epic was kind of the first stone but pretty awesome place and yeah. So we got a lot to talk about. Let's get to the drink of the week.

[Travis]

Okay, well, the drink of the week is also birthday themed. It's called the birthday cake martini. I have on Good Accord that this is one of those slap your mama drinks.

[Amy]

It's really good.

[Travis]

It might even get you in your birthday suit.

[Dale Jr.]

Oh.

[Travis]

So we have 2 ounces of high rock vodka, 1 ounce of white chocolate liqueur, 1 ounce of amaretto, a half an ounce of heavy whipping cream, and then you brush the side of the glass with some vanilla frosting and gently roll it into either some sprinkles or edible glitter. And then you put it in the freezer to set. And then you shake your drink up and strain it into your glass. And it is like birthday cake in a glass. Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

Tastes pretty good.

[Travis]

Let me. Let me try. Pretty good. Doesn't sound like I like it. It's delicious. Oh, that's real good.

[Amy]

I told you.

[Travis]

Yeah, Travis said one's not enough and three is too many, so it's delicious.

[Dale Jr.]

Must want my Red Bulls like the Red.

[Travis]

Oh, you're going to take my drink. You took my Red Bull.

[Amy]

Y' all just taking everything.

[Travis]

Stealing. Just like our first date.

[Dale Jr.]

Red Bull's good. Little chaser.

[Travis]

That tastes good. I'll have some of that.

[Dale Jr.]

That. So we. Did you tell them to visit High Rock Vodka?

[Travis]

I did not. So if you want to find High Rock in your area, visit highrock vodka.com. there is a store locator on the website, so you can see where you can find it near you. And also, you've got to remember to be 21 years or over, you must drink responsively. What?

[Dale Jr.]

All the notes aren't on here.

[Amy]

What do you mean all the notes aren't on here?

[Travis]

No, I. I think he must have done it, like, while we were at dinner.

[Dale Jr.]

Oh, I put this on here the other day.

[Travis]

Dale has a car ding he wants to talk about. I mean, Dale dinged up the car.

[Dale Jr.]

No. So.

[Travis]

So it sounds like something I would do.

[Dale Jr.]

No, no, no. We were riding down the road. He just. I just see you edited the bless your heart on my phone. I'm getting a little too many touching my phone. It says, travis and Amy edited bless your heart.

[Travis]

He's full of it.

[Dale Jr.]

It's right here.

[Amy]

I will say I get notifications and it's. You look at it and it says one of you guys are editing and there's nothing's happening.

[Dale Jr.]

Well, there's something that I put in there right above Family Feud. Did the car ding?

[Travis]

So, did the car ding?

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Travis]

So in my notes, it said Dale Ding's car.

[Dale Jr.]

We're riding down the road, me and Isla riding down the road. And. I believe it was Isla. Gosh, it could have been Nicole. But we're riding down the road and they're in the back seat.

[Travis]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

And it was Isla, I'm pretty sure. So we've been driving for a while and I went over some, I went over some bumps or something and I just asked Isla, I was like, hey, you know, you buckled in back here because, you know, go over some bumps. It's like that's what. What you say.

[Travis]

And you, you were worried she was buckled.

[Dale Jr.]

But it, you know when it, when the, the truck bounced going through a pothole. And I, I said that in calming. Buckled up back there.

[Travis]

I knew she was just to make her understanding. You knew that she was, we're in control.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah. Cuz she's just not paying attention and she might go, why are we now bouncing through town? Town, Right. And so I just said it so that she didn't get nervous or anything.

[Travis]

Is that like the arm over this?

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah, kind of.

[Travis]

That's what happened when we were basically,

[Dale Jr.]

I was saying, it's all good, just pothole, don't get work, don't get worried. And then I started into this conversation and I was like, man, you wouldn't believe it. When I was a kid, Isla, we used to ride around in the back seat and the front seat not buckled. Like I would lay, I'd be laying all over that back seat sleeping or taking a nap, whatever. Right. Crawling and floorboard. I was like, can you believe that? That we just drove around town willy nilly, not buckled up? And I was, I'm having this, like I'm. I think her mind back there is exploding. Like, what?

[Travis]

Yeah. How is that possible? Why did you get to do that? What did she say?

[Dale Jr.]

I said, when I was a tiny kid in mom's car, I used to not ride around with my seatbelt on. She said, did the car ding?

[Travis]

Really?

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah. And I'm like, no, they didn't ding back then. I just thought that was freaking hilarious. Yeah, well, because in her mind, the 1978 Monte Carlo that my mom drove had an alert when the seat belt wasn't buckled and it dinged. A tone didn't start happening until the 2000s.

[Amy]

Late 2000. Yeah, right.

[Travis]

It's been a while.

[Dale Jr.]

She said she didn't go, wow, y' all rode around without seatbelts. How cool.

[Travis]

Or she's like, how'd you get away with that? The car didn't ding. The car must have dinged.

[Dale Jr.]

Did the car d. What are y'.

[Amy]

All.

[Dale Jr.]

Did y' all ride around with the damn car dinging the whole time?

[Travis]

Yeah. She's like, damn, that was annoying, too.

[Dale Jr.]

I thought that was funny as hell.

[Travis]

We had a similar conversation driving around the other day.

[Amy]

Yeah. We just.

[Travis]

Over keys.

[Dale Jr.]

We just drove for hours with the car dinging to support it.

[Travis]

Yeah. I had forgotten the key fob inside, so I had to go back in and get my key. And she goes, that's not actually a key. I was like, you're right. It's called a fob. I don't know why it's called fob, but it's a key fob. And it's, like, got buttons, makes the car turn on. And she's like, well, why is it a key fob? I was like, well. Cause the cars used to start with keys. Like Dad's old trucks. My El Camino. Like, you have to have an actual key, a physical key to turn it on, and you had to crank it. And she was like, that's weird. Maybe it was Nicole that I was talking to, because everything that she responds to, that's weird. I'm like, dang, that is kind of weird that they don't even know that cranking a car up is like hitting a button into them.

[Dale Jr.]

I saw this video on. On Instagram the other day, and it was all of these kids, and they were in. They had. Somebody had taken, like, all these kids and put them in, like, living rooms and. And different sets from the 80s or 70s. And they're all dressed in vintage clothing, and they're in these rooms that look like where me and you might have grown up. Right. Any kid next door. And they're. They're playing with something, and they're looking at the camera and they go. So in 20 years or so, in 30 years or so in the future, people are going to take pictures of their meals and text it to strangers. And stranger. Strangers are going to like and comment. And it's like saying all this.

[Travis]

That's amazing.

[Dale Jr.]

It's hilarious.

[Travis]

I wonder what that's gonna look like in the next 20 years. Yeah. It's so weird, the shit you do now.

[Dale Jr.]

I know.

[Travis]

Compared to, like, how rudimentary and simple life was, life is very weird now when you think about it like that.

[Dale Jr.]

In the future, you're gonna take a box and hit a square, and some stranger's gonna bring your food.

[Travis]

Yeah. Some random person is just gonna deliver it straight to your house. You're gonna tell people where you live?

[Dale Jr.]

Yes.

[Travis]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

Oh, it was like. It was like, in the future, people are going to post photos of themselves doing normal things and their kids. I was like, oh, yep. Yeah, that's what we're doing.

[Travis]

Damn it.

[Amy]

Have you guys ever ridden in one of those way mows, the driverless vehicles?

[Travis]

No, I'm scared as hell.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah, we've seen them.

[Travis]

I've heard about this in Vegas, too, and a lot of people are apprehensive to get in one.

[Dale Jr.]

I was in Vegas the other day and saw a couple up in the valet.

[Travis]

I don't think I'd be able to do it. And I've heard that people have gotten locked into those. Like, they've not been able to get out. And that would be my worst nightmare. Oh, I would have a heart attack in there. Like, that would be my coffin. You just find me in the car rolling around Vegas so can't get out.

[Amy]

That would be scary.

[Dale Jr.]

So we.

[Travis]

Have you ridden in one of those?

[Amy]

I have not. I would, though.

[Travis]

You would?

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Travis]

By yourself?

[Amy]

I'd want to do with a friend, probably.

[Travis]

So where's it needed, like, a friend experience? I feel like we need to get

[Dale Jr.]

Steven Stefan in here. Can you see if Steven is available and can he come to a hot mic in there in the booth? We have a mystery to solve. We have mystery to solve.

[Travis]

So we got around to the conversation about the keys, by the way, because of a keychain. Isla had a keychain she wanted to use, or she wanted. She saw a keychain, she had a keychain. She goes like, why do they call it a keychain? I don't understand. I was like, well, you know, people used to have keys for everything. You had a key for your house, you had a key for your car, you had a key for your locker, you had a key for this or that.

[Dale Jr.]

Sunny still has it.

[Travis]

Yeah. I'm like, sometimes, you know, all the keys, you have to have all of them at once. So you loop them together on those little rings, and then you'd have a keychain. And so that's how we got to the car thing.

[Amy]

Fob comes from. It's a German word.

[Travis]

It's a German word. Yeah, It's F A B, not F O, B.

[Amy]

So the word small pocket is F O B, K, E. And so that's how the fob comes from. And Steven's on his way down here.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah, Steven Steffen. So Stephen Stephan is a the dream, the dream team. A lot of folks know Stephen, but Stephen's kind of a jack of all trades. Does a lot of different things within the organization at Junior Emergency Sports and for me and Amy.

[Travis]

How's it going, Stefan?

[Dale Jr.]

Good.

[Amy]

How are you guys?

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah, pretty good. So let me tell us, set this up here. Amy loves carrot cake. We're gonna, you know, get her a carrot cake for. For her birthday. We.

[Travis]

Me for the first time ever.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah. And, you know, last year at this time, I forgot the carrot cake and I got her what I wanted, which was red velvet. Steve park come in here and delivered us a carrot cake from a local bakery.

[Travis]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

And Amy loved that carrot cake and said, when you get me one, get me one from this place.

[Travis]

Yes. Well, who doesn't like a local bakery anyway? It's special.

[Dale Jr.]

So I was. I'm going to go pick up a cake. And so I give. I went online, found the.

[Travis]

He found the bundt cake.

[Dale Jr.]

I found the bundt cake place. Oh, I see what happened.

[Amy]

So

[Dale Jr.]

I googled carrot cake near me, and it found.

[Travis]

He's so, so ill equipped to find a damn carrot cake in town. He has to Google carrot cake near me.

[Dale Jr.]

By chance, it brings up. I know what happened, Stephen. By chance, it brings up Good eats and sweets by Dan. And that is the place that Steve park brought the other. And that is pure coincidence that that is what it gave me.

[Travis]

God gave you that. God handed you that.

[Dale Jr.]

Here's the place you need to go. I screenshot it on my phone, has the phone number on it, and I text it to Steven. I said, stephen, call this number. Order the cake. I'm going to pick it up. Don't go get it. I'm going to get it. And so I didn't think it was a big deal if he ordered it, but I knew that for your cake, you wanted me to go actively go retrieve it.

[Travis]

So are you about to say fetch?

[Dale Jr.]

No. And so I'm going to go get this cake in my head. I have ordered the cake from a bunt cake place in them over by.

[Travis]

Everybody knows everything but bundt cakes. Yeah, the bundt cake joint.

[Dale Jr.]

It's everything.

[Travis]

They're everywhere now.

[Dale Jr.]

Cakes or something.

[Travis]

Yeah, everything in my head.

[Dale Jr.]

That's where we've ordered the cake from. And so when he says the cake is ready, I drive over to the bundt cake store and I that. That we'd have.

[Travis]

This is where there's a question in place still. Dale says he picks up the bundt cake.

[Dale Jr.]

He goes, let me get there. He hadn't even got to that part. I walk in thinking that this is where the cake's at.

[Travis]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

I walk up and I'm standing there thinking that there is an Amy cake in the back. The lady walks out and goes, hey, what do you need? You know, what can I do for you? What are you here for? You know? And I'm like, well, there's a birthday cake for Amy in the back. I'm here to get it. She goes, oh, okay. All right. She walks back there, you know, rummages around and produces a cake. And I'm in there waiting on her, and I found a card and all this stuff on the rack. And I'm like, all right, perfect. I'm going to get a card. I'll draw in it, and the kids can draw in it.

[Travis]

And I'll draw in it.

[Dale Jr.]

I'm gonna draw in it, and the kids can draw in it, and we'll give her the card. And lady produces a cake. I buy the card, the cake, and walk out. I've got the cake. Well, I put it in the refrigerator at home. It's still there.

[Travis]

We didn't even look at it.

[Dale Jr.]

A day later, this is on Monday, Tuesday, Stefan calls and says, hey, man, there's. They still got the cake. I was like, they ain't got the cake. I picked it up. And he's like, nah, man, they got the cake. They say, you ain't came and got it. And he's like, I'm gonna go take it. I'm gonna go take care of it.

[Travis]

I'm gonna go by there and see how. What's going on here.

[Dale Jr.]

And in my mind, I think he's going to the Bundt cake place. And he goes there, picks up a cake, he takes a picture of it, and I'm like, that's way different looking. And I said, well, bring.

[Travis]

He goes, that's not round. He asked me. He's like, what's the cakes with the hole in the middle? What's that called? I'm like, a Bundt cake. You got a Bundt cake? That's not the cake that we talked about.

[Dale Jr.]

So I said, stephen, bring that cake to the house. He brings it over. Now I got two cakes,

[Travis]

but we still don't know what type of cake is in the Bundt cake box or what other Amy is missing their cake.

[Dale Jr.]

Yes. So now we know. I figured it out. You ordered from the right place because that's the right. That's the. That's the number I gave you. I thought you ordered from Bundt cake. I went to Bundt cake, walked in there and pulled A cake out of that place that belonged to somebody else, and you brought the right cake. So we were able to eat the cake Amy wanted. But somebody from Bundt Cake is cakeless, or they just made you one.

[Travis]

Somebody else named Amy who also had a birthday this week. We're very sorry. We didn't mean to do that. But, you know, they've got lots of cakes in there. Surely they could reproduce another one.

[Dale Jr.]

Oh, my gosh.

[Travis]

But we still don't even know what flavor the cake is that we have. And they do make carrot cake. You must have gone in there and just made a scene, scared that lady, and she just gave you the cake.

[Dale Jr.]

I didn't make a scene.

[Travis]

Del Junior came in here raving about some cake, and so I just threw him one. He said, there's cake back there for me. Like, he held a gun to her. Like, give me no cake, Sleety.

[Dale Jr.]

No, that's not at all. I walked in, I said, you know, I'm. In my mind. She knows there's. You know, in my mind, I'm at the right place with the cake, and Amy's cake's back there. And I go, yeah, you got a cake for Amy in the back? I'm here to get it. And she goes, oh, okay, let me go back there. She goes back there, comes back out with a cake, and she goes, here you go. Happy birthday. You know, it's got all the things on it. Happy birthday. All the stuff on it.

[Travis]

Yo, you totally did steal somebody's cake. Oh, my God. I feel like we need to go back and, like, apologize or. You said you just paid for the card. I thought you pay for.

[Dale Jr.]

I need to look at the receipt. But when. That's another thing. So when I asked her, I put the card on the table and I said, she. She sets the cake down and goes, you're all set. And I go, I know.

[Travis]

And I go, now we've stolen a cake.

[Dale Jr.]

I go, hey, I want to buy this card. And she rings the card up, like, five bucks. So I didn't pay for a cake.

[Travis]

Oh, my gosh.

[Dale Jr.]

But I'm. I mean, look, man, I'm not. I'm walking out thinking, damn, maybe he. He put a card on it or something. Yeah, if I. If that was the place, I would have. I'm.

[Travis]

You straight hijacked a cake.

[Dale Jr.]

I know. I. I mean, whoever paid whoever's cake, it was prepaid, I suppose.

[Travis]

Yeah, we need to go back and pay for the cake.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah, we'll take it back another eight.

[Travis]

No, we're not taking the cake back.

[Dale Jr.]

We should take it back.

[Travis]

We can't return the cake. We're not going to eat the cake. It's for us now. It's our cake now.

[Dale Jr.]

Okay.

[Travis]

This is kind of like the razor.

[Dale Jr.]

Like we haven't even eaten half of the second cake.

[Travis]

I know. It's really big, man.

[Dale Jr.]

Thought you were gonna bring it.

[Travis]

Well, I've was dealing with Nicole before I left and I couldn't. But I can still do that. I gotta run back by the house later and bring it back and share the cake, but I might just bring both and we can mystery. We can cut in and see what we actually came up with. We're very sorry about the Bundt cake.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah, we are. We'll figure it out.

[Travis]

We're gonna come back and pay for that.

[Dale Jr.]

We're by the bundt cake store and explain ourselves.

[Travis]

Oh, my God. That would be amazing. Do they do that there?

[Dale Jr.]

It is a carrot cake. You can see there's no way it's pink or blue in the middle. It's carrot colored.

[Travis]

They don't make carrot colored.

[Dale Jr.]

You know, it's a carrot cake colored cake.

[Travis]

So I went to breakfast yesterday. My girlfriend, Jamie Goddard, also brought me a mini, like a single version of a Bundt cake. That's carrot cake and they could be confused with a lot of other cakes. It's just like a brown cake. You know what I mean?

[Dale Jr.]

So we went to Epic for dinner. Thank you, Stephen. Yep.

[Amy]

Glad the mystery's been solved. Winter job sites don't mess around. Freezing mornings, wet conditions, wind that cuts right through your cheap gear. You need workwear that performs when it's brutal out there. True Work builds performance workwear like it matters. Because it does. Founded by a trade professional who was done with soaking wet, heavy gear slowing him down, Truwerk set out to make workwear that keeps pros comfortable, capable, and ready for whatever the day throws at them. True Work uses advanced performance fabrics, originally developed for extreme outdoor conditions, now engineered specifically for trade work. Designed with moisture wicking, wind resistant and insulated fabrics that keep you comfortable and mobile all day long, even in the harshest winter conditions. True Work came in clutch for me when we had the winter storm come through North Carolina. The S4 Tower of Parka was perfect for what I needed. Driveway is covered with snow. Needed to get out there and get it cleaned off. The tower parka got the job done. Fully weatherproof and insulated, built for the coldest and wettest job sites. As the snow's coming down, I stayed Dry. I stayed warm. I was happy. There's nothing worse than when you have a jacket that's just absorbing all the water. And underneath I had the tech flannel work shirt on. This thing is perfect. Warmth without the bulk. That's what I love. You can move around in it, stay mobile. The other thing I love about the flannel work shirt, it's not just for the job site. You can wear this thing to work. Going out to get drinks with the boys, throw that flannel work shirt on and go out there. It's perfect. It's versatile. You definitely need to have that. And you can't forget about the pants too. And true work has you covered with the T2 work pants. When I was out there shoveling, had these things on. They are perfect. They're durable, they're flexible. Best part, water resistant. Normally I would just have jeans on. Those things are just going to get wet, weigh you down, make you cold. The T2 work pants stop all of that. They are perfect. Don't let cheap gear slow you down. This winter, upgrade your day with work wear built like it matters. Get 15% off your first [e-mail] with code Dale Jr. That's T R U E W E R K.com at our

[Dale Jr.]

We went to Epic for dinner. And for the first time in history I've known Amy for 18 years. We discern and been married since 2016. 17.

[Travis]

Right on the this will be our 10th year anniversary.

[Dale Jr.]

Right on the hash mark there. Right on the border.

[Travis]

It's hard, it's hard to remember your year when it we got married on

[Dale Jr.]

the border of 16 and 17.

[Travis]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

And so this is the first time in history that Amy finished her meal before me.

[Travis]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Holy.

[Travis]

And the children. He usually eats his food lightning fast like someone's about to steal it. Like and there's no conversation. He's whining and dining, just eating with proper utensils, like with both hands, you know, like the Europeans do. I can't eat like that. And he's like taking his time and before you know it like the lady's coming by to ask us if we're done with our plates. And Dale's still eating, and he got a salad. It's not like he had a giant platter full of food to rummage through.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah, I had a shrimp cocktail. Awesome shrimp cocktail from Epic. And they had this salad that we get a little grilled chicken on.

[Travis]

It's got fried goat cheese balls on it. It's delicious. But, yeah, so he took his time yesterday. We know that he can do that.

[Dale Jr.]

The reason why.

[Travis]

But it was a marked event. It was a noted moment because he has never, ever, ever let that happen.

[Dale Jr.]

The service Epic is amazing, and everything about it is great. I want to say that because I'm going to say some comments, but I don't want it to go the wrong. Be taken in the wrong way. Amy asked me a question, so I went on a trip to Key west with my buddies. Took all of the old guard. Sonny, Brad Burrows.

[Travis]

They call themselves the Four Horsemen.

[Dale Jr.]

Four Horsemen and Brad. And it's me, Sean, David, Sonny, Brad, and Tim Duggar tagged along. We all went down there for two days, and we're about 25% into our dinner experience. And amigos. So what happened in Key West?

[Travis]

Yeah, we've been around. We've been each other around each other all week since he got home, and I haven't asked him about his trip yet.

[Dale Jr.]

Well, I started telling her, and I'm trying to tell her this story. The kids are. You know, every two minutes, you got to tell the kid to not. Can't lay down in your chair. You pick up your napkin, and the kids are asking us questions. So I can't get. I'm telling her this story. I can't get it out. The lady, our server, comes by, you need another drink. You need this, you need that. Y' all good? Everything tasting good. And so, like, I can't get the story told. And so I'm. I can eat. I'm not. That's why it took me so long to. To eat, because I'm trying to.

[Travis]

I've sincerely been to dinner with you so many times. I've just. There's no way that you've knocked conversation and still not eaten as fast as you have.

[Dale Jr.]

It's the story.

[Travis]

Yeah. So the story he was about to tell me also, I had to stop him because the kids probably didn't need to hear it. But it was so remarkable that I felt like we needed to talk with you about it because I feel like

[Dale Jr.]

you would appreciate the story you've been to Key West. We actually went at same time last year and had a great time down there. But we went down there. I went down there with mole buddies and you know, we just can't do it like we used to. And a couple of them were in bed early and I didn't, you know, I wasn't up as late as I usually were. Stay down there and. But we had a good time and. And we went to some great places that we always love to go to.

[Travis]

Including the candy shop.

[Dale Jr.]

Yep. And I went to the candy shop.

[Amy]

Did you get ice cream in like 20 spoons?

[Dale Jr.]

We got ice cream one night. So all of these, all the things, right. We had a lot of fun. Key west is a great town. We go into this bar called Tattoos and Scars. It's a little rectangular shaped bar. It's right next to Shots and Giggles, which is another place we love to go to. The. We're in, this is the second day and we're wounded a little bit. A couple of us, we're trying to get it going.

[Travis]

So this is like lunchtime.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah, it's definitely.

[Travis]

Or is this like the bar? First bar after waking up?

[Dale Jr.]

It's not the first bar. We went to Schooners every day. We went schooners obviously both days right out of the gate because we're staying at the marker, which is right next door to schooners. So we go to Schooners and I gotta think I got some tuna tacos, which is amazing. It's schooners. But so we're having, we're, we're getting going and we're at Tattoos and Scars. Our buddy Brad is a shot guy. He likes to take shots. Oh, all right.

[Travis]

So he's not really a beer drinker.

[Dale Jr.]

Not a beer drinker. Really? Yeah. So there's a shot, they get to talk into the bartender and there's a shot there that they'll smack you. Like the bartender take the shot, they slap you.

[Travis]

And so he says there's steps. It's like there's something on your hand. There's a drink, then there's a follow up drink. But you, you get slapped in the middle.

[Dale Jr.]

So yeah, there's a couple different things that happen. So don't bring it up. It's on. It is on their Instagram, the actual hit. Yes. So Brad wants to do this. What bar? Tattoo, Tattoos and Scars. Key West. So Brad wants to do this. Is it called the hurricane shot? I don't know. Maybe it is. But there's Brad taking his drink. Bartender gets up on the bar to do It. She throws a glass of water on him and then wallops.

[Travis]

Holy smokes. He goes, ah,

[Amy]

he peed.

[Travis]

For that, he needs a hug. She hugged him afterwards. I can't believe that that's a thing.

[Dale Jr.]

So this is a shot you can take tattoos and scars, and I'm standing there drinking a beer, talking to David or somebody, and I'm not really listening to Brad. But next thing I know, everybody's starting to get out of the way. And I'm like, what's about to happen? And so I'm. I'm off to the right. I'm off over the shoulder of whoever's filming this. And we all start to realize what, you know, we're getting told, oh, he's going to do the shot. And so we are all telling the girl, now knock him good. Now you better smack him good.

[Travis]

Oh, my God, guys suck.

[Dale Jr.]

And she slaps the shit out of him. And his lip blistered up, like, swelled

[Travis]

up like his tooth went through his mouth or something. And, like, bruises.

[Dale Jr.]

She smacked him so hard, it just kind of bruised his damn lip, his bottom lip. And so

[Travis]

I can't believe that that's a thing.

[Dale Jr.]

We asked her. Like, we were all like, shoot, man, you know, maybe we shouldn't have told her to hit him hard as she could. And she goes, everybody says that. Everybody tell. Don't feel bad. Everybody tells, you know, when we do a shot, all the buddy.

[Travis]

All the buddies don't half ass it.

[Dale Jr.]

All the buddies all say that. And so then we started taking, like, chat. Chad. We started taking Chad and asking Chad to make photos of Brad with his lip Morse the next day, you know what it's gonna look like tomorrow. And a lot of. We did a lot of Chad pics with the guys we had. There's one picture of us all not. I took the picture and put them all in race uniforms. So they're like. There's like one in a Chase Elliott uniform.

[Travis]

The only picture I saw, the one that he sent me, was the first day. No, you made Brad, who's got that long curly hair you could see. You made him look like Dog the Bounty Hunter.

[Dale Jr.]

Yes. Yeah, we started joking with him as soon as we got there about how he looked like Dog the Bounty Hunter.

[Travis]

He doesn't live in North Carolina anymore. He lives in Illinois. So, like, they don't get to braz him as much as they used to. And he's a lot of fun to hang out with.

[Amy]

Did Brad try to talk you into taking shots, or does he know?

[Dale Jr.]

Oh, no, he Knows.

[Travis]

No, he knows better.

[Dale Jr.]

He don't mess.

[Travis]

He don't care. He's like, I'm gonna do my own thing.

[Dale Jr.]

He like, the first day we get there and we've been there a couple hours and he's. He took Jaeger shots and he's like. He's like, man, I gotta get. I gotta get going. I'm ready. And we're like, it's all day, man. We're doing this all day. You don't have to run, just walk.

[Travis]

He's usually in bed at 8 o'. Clock. He's first one down.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Travis]

For obvious reasons.

[Dale Jr.]

But, yeah, I carried that. I carried him home from the bar.

[Travis]

First night.

[Amy]

Yes. Tim, the one that's leading the. Is Tim, the best drinker of this group.

[Dale Jr.]

Tim is now the youngest and best drinker of the group.

[Travis]

Yep.

[Dale Jr.]

Yep. None of us are in the routine anymore.

[Travis]

Yeah.

[Amy]

You don't have your fastball.

[Dale Jr.]

No.

[Travis]

He blames his drinking ability on us. He says that he learned how to binge drink being on trips with us when he first started coming down to Key west, that he didn't used to drink like that. Like, he'd go out for one night and then be hungover and then not. Not drink anymore. And then he hung out with us and we're like, you just gotta have another one. Have another.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Travis]

Hair of the dog, you know, that's why it's a saying.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Travis]

Because they. I mean, he is a lot younger than us, but he blames us.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Travis]

For his now ability, which he's proud of.

[Dale Jr.]

Like he does now until he came tang with us. But I meant, you know, those are fun days. But yeah, Key west is awesome. And that was probably the highlight of the trip. Honestly, that's crazy.

[Amy]

Guys are dumb.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Travis]

I would never sign up to do anything.

[Amy]

I would never.

[Travis]

What else do we have? Should we play a game?

[Dale Jr.]

Swatches.

[Travis]

Swatches, yes. Okay. So for my birthday, Dale got me. I don't know if you've heard about this, but have you seen the videos of people, like, having the color swatches laid across their chest?

[Amy]

No.

[Travis]

So that's the thing that you can do and have, like, your color palette for your skin tone given to you. So, like, everybody has certain. Certain colors that look better on them. And so it's like a thing that girls are doing now. My girlfriend Jill did it recently and they'll even tell you, like, based on your skin tone, what color your hair should be. So Dale's going to go down and do it with me and Charlotte. We're going to have our color swatches done.

[Amy]

Oh, he's doing it with you.

[Travis]

He's going to do it with me. Well, I tried to tell him, like, well, since you're going to go with me, what if they tell you the orange is, like, not your color? What are you going to do?

[Amy]

Oh, no.

[Travis]

He's like, I'm just going to grin and walk away.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah, that's good.

[Travis]

Whatever.

[Dale Jr.]

She. I mean, I probably.

[Travis]

Or whatever.

[Dale Jr.]

I don't think orange is really anybody's color, but I like orange because nobody else liked it.

[Travis]

But is that really why.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah, I liked orange because no one else. Everybody loves blue, red, pink, purple, and. And, you know, everybody loves all the. There's these set of colors that's very popular, and then there's this.

[Travis]

So orange felt like the outcast, so you adopted it.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Travis]

That's hilarious. You went hard.

[Dale Jr.]

Orange is the underdog of colors.

[Travis]

Okay.

[Dale Jr.]

So

[Travis]

it'll be fun. Isla wants me to take her with

[Dale Jr.]

her, but this is what I'm wondering. Jamie is a great friend of Amy's, and I think Jamie. Has Jamie been on here?

[Travis]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah. So James Jugs, Amy or Jamie asked. Jamie sent me this idea. She goes, hey, here's a cool idea. If you haven't got any. Anything for her birthday. And I always ping her friends for. For Christmas and birthday ideas, and they're always all talking about different things that I like, and it's always been very helpful. And I was like, man, that's not a physical gift. You know, I'm. I'm a little nervous that it's. Is it gonna be suffice, right? Is it gonna. How's this. How's this gonna go? And I also thought, all right, Jamie's, you know, Jamie's saying that I should get her this. And. And. And. And Jamie's like, you know, you get her and. And a guest, right? So she can take a friend. And I'm thinking, well, Jamie wants to be the friend, so that's got to line up, right? Or somebody's, you know, maybe gonna get their feelings hurt. And so I hand it to Amy. I'm like, hey, here's the deal. Apparently this is a cool thing. You're gonna go and it's taken care of, and you get to take a friend. And I'm just gonna say, jamie's the one that suggested it. And she goes, well, I'm taking. I'm taking you. And I'm like, oh, me? And I was like, I'll go. I was like, I'm probably the Only other person you could take without pissing Jamie off. Because if you were to take another friend after, Jamie's the one that suggested the gift.

[Travis]

Yeah, yeah. Jamie's not gonna be mad.

[Dale Jr.]

It's a good excuse. Jamie would definitely be mad. No, not with me. But if you took a different girlfriend.

[Travis]

Yeah. So here's the thing.

[Dale Jr.]

Jamie's the one that suggests we heard

[Travis]

about the colors from one of our other girlfriends who just had it done. Jamie and I, at the same time heard about it. So I don't. I mean, I'm just saying, in that conversation, they suggested that you should get this done, too, since you're on tv. Like, you should know your colors and know what looks best on you. Blah, blah, blah. So, like, all that part was part of the conversation.

[Dale Jr.]

I know, but I'm just telling you. She called me, said, you should get this for me and you. She could take a guest. She never said you should just send Amy. She said, send Amy and you can get her a guess. And I'm thinking, well, you're reading too far. I know how y' all are, and I know how Jamie is, and I know for a fact that Jamie would go if you took a different person.

[Travis]

I hear you. Well, I wasn't planning on taking.

[Dale Jr.]

You can take me without getting a reaction.

[Travis]

I think it would be a very fun experience to do with you.

[Amy]

What color do you think you're gonna get? Like, what are.

[Travis]

So. I don't know. Like, they. Jill, when she went, they told her that she was in an autumn. So, like, she has a little tiny fan deck now over colors that she can keep in her purse. So when she goes shopping, she can, like, kind of pick and choose based on what might look best on her. Of course, like, you're still going to want to wear black and different things. She was told black wasn't one of her colors. I'm like, blacks, everybody. Yeah, it's like, verbatim, blacks, everybody's color. So, like, I'm not taking my black out of my closet.

[Dale Jr.]

I don't know, man. I take this. I'd take what that lady said to heart.

[Amy]

What if they say, sweatshirts aren't your thing, Dale?

[Travis]

No more hoodies. You really do wear too many logos. When Dale and I get ready, I'm going anywhere. Going anywhere but somewhere. Like, if he's not going to the racetrack, we're going somewhere personal. Especially, like a family gathering or whatever. I'm like, we're not selling anything today. Please put on a plaid or a regular plain T shirt. Like, he gets sent back to the closet quite a bit. But he does have a lot of nice clothes. But that's going to force us both to, like, clean out the closet. And I am a hot mess in the closet. I know it. And I think maybe secretly Dale's like, I'm going to get her this, and this is going to force her to have to throw away half of these things or at least clean it up. Which isn't a bad idea.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Travis]

But I feel like that's a whole nother separate gift I need. Like, can I just get an extra set of arms or something for physically taking the stuff out? It's a lot.

[Dale Jr.]

Our closet is a. Is. Our closet has just recently crossed the line.

[Travis]

Well, I got rid of the hanging rack.

[Dale Jr.]

From ridiculous to crushing.

[Travis]

Yeah. Like, the walls are literally closing in on you. You almost have to, like, I have spread the. Spread the clothes.

[Dale Jr.]

So a small example this would be. Is Amy? Never Amy. Amy doesn't get rid of anything. That's not entirely true. But Amy doesn't get rid of anything. So, like, she accumulates and cumulate. She wears.

[Travis]

I don't get rid of my nice things.

[Dale Jr.]

No. She wears 20 of the things that are in there, but she doesn't get rid of. Like, it's just more and more stuff. Me, same thing. Like, I. Every year I accumulate a hundred new shirts. T shirts, like, all new logo shirts, all new sponsor shirts, all new Junior motorsport stuff. We got jerky boy stuff. We got this stuff. We got filter time. We got. Every. Every year there's like a new batch and there. And I don't really get. Get rid of the old batch. And so, like, it's just more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more Pop. You know, just busting at the seams.

[Travis]

And dresses are fluffier than T shirts, so.

[Dale Jr.]

And I've never. I haven't thrown away a pair of shoes in 20 years.

[Travis]

That's a fact. His shoes have dust bunnies on them. Like, I've got the shoe racks in the closet and the. There are certain, certain shoes that just like, you could write your name in.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah. I've got multiple pairs of shoes that haven't left the shelf in over 10 years.

[Amy]

Get rid of them.

[Dale Jr.]

I. I know. I want to do it. Here's the thing. I don't want. I don't know. I don't. I don't have a confidence in myself to go, I'm gonna throw this pair out.

[Travis]

No, he can't do it by himself. He cannot do it by himself.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Travis]

He'll get rid of the wrong thing,

[Dale Jr.]

I'll get rid of the wrong thing. And I'm like, Amy, he won't remember

[Travis]

what we actually just bought.

[Dale Jr.]

I know.

[Travis]

And what's old.

[Dale Jr.]

I'll throw away the new pair and keep the 10 year old pair.

[Travis]

Not. He's done that with some of his clothes.

[Amy]

Throw away the ones that have dust all over them.

[Dale Jr.]

Well, they all do. They all do. Because I try. I mean, I literally wear like the same five pair of shoes. But.

[Travis]

But when he goes somewhere nice, he needs to have the nice shoes. We just need to get rid of the dated stuff.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah, but I need. So I'll say I want to slide

[Travis]

in the window in the closet and I'm just gonna like, like a luge and I wish I lose my clothes out to a box in the lawn.

[Dale Jr.]

So I'll carry the down. If you just want to pile it up, put it on top of the stairs. But I. The thing is, I'm like, hey, Amy, come upstairs and help me decide what to throw away. And she's like, yeah, it's like the last thing I want to do today is go stand there.

[Travis]

He's like a child though.

[Dale Jr.]

Yep. Nope.

[Travis]

As soon as you sit down on the couch and get comfortable, he's like, oh, since you're free, I got something for you. I'm like, I was gonna relax now that the kids are doing their own thing. He's like, no, but now I need you. Like, no, not going up to the closet. So yeah, that's really the only time that I would say no to that. But you do need help.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah, I do. Well, we're thinking maybe the color swatch lady is going to kick us into

[Travis]

gear and it'll make it easier to get rid of some things.

[Dale Jr.]

Easier? Yeah. We donate everything we just. I got. We put it all in big trash bags and everything that we get rid of goes to Christian Mission.

Tattoos are supposed to be something like your younger self gets.

Oh, a beer. Anything. Not an animal. Anything.

That was easy right off the bat.

[Amy]

And giraffe is number one.

Sorry, I got mixed up. They're not even close to the same.

[Dale Jr.]

like, show off.

[Travis]

Your golf swing.

[Amy]

Yep.

[Dale Jr.]

I was going to say, I don't

[Travis]

know if you got a good one. It's worth showing off.

[Amy]

They love to. Golfers love to do that.

[Travis]

Yeah. Watch me go one more.

[Amy]

You can. You own it.

[Travis]

You own it.

[Amy]

It's a. It's an object.

[Dale Jr.]

It's not a car collection of some sort?

[Amy]

It could be.

[Dale Jr.]

Could be. Is it guns?

[Amy]

No.

[Dale Jr.]

Your helmet collection? Your liquor knife collection?

[Amy]

Oh, that. That would be a good one, yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

Your liquor collection?

[Travis]

Your wine collection.

[Amy]

That's not. It's power tools.

[Dale Jr.]

What the.

[Travis]

Stop. Who did you pull for this? Who shows off their power tools?

[Amy]

The Internet, man.

[Dale Jr.]

I don't know. I don't give a.

[Travis]

Get my Dremel.

[Dale Jr.]

Someone else's power tools. I don't.

[Amy]

Well, I'm not saying that these are my answers.

[Travis]

Yeah, we're looking at you like.

[Amy]

I mean, I don't own any power tools.

[Dale Jr.]

I'm just. We're just talking.

[Travis]

I'm not shocked by that. Not even a power drill.

[Dale Jr.]

I own, like, folks that are listening. So if I see some. If I see something in the garage or something, I go, where'd you get that? And then I'm gonna put a note in my head or take a picture of it and I'll get my own. But I don't. I don't go, hey, let's go out. Look at your power tools and stuff. Let me show you. Show them what you got in the garage. You know, I mean, is it a

[Travis]

matter of guys hanging out in the garage? And that's why it happens.

[Dale Jr.]

Probably.

[Travis]

Is that also sometimes the man cave? Yeah, that's probably how.

[Amy]

I mean, garage beers are, like, one of the best places.

[Travis]

Check this out.

[Dale Jr.]

The other day, we were. Oh, we. We. We had taken. Taken the kids to eat somewhere. And Amy's like, can we go by the Lowe's? I'm like, you damn right we can go by.

[Travis]

Does it bear in the woods?

[Dale Jr.]

Hell, yes. I've been wanting to get an electric freaking chainsaw. You bet your ass. We're going to Lowe's. And so.

[Travis]

And I want to look at the plants like, I do. I was, you know, Girls are in the garden section and Dale's inside Lowe's. The. By the way, I went through the garden section with both children. Got a pallet full of flowers, got them loaded in the truck with the tailgate locked. So we're going up and over and up and over with all of our flowers before this guy even gets his stuff bought and checked out from the store inside.

[Dale Jr.]

Oh, he's wandering around.

[Travis]

He's just lollygagging through there, talking to all the ladies. He comes out with free bags of bird seed and all the things he was in there for to begin with.

[Dale Jr.]

I go into the. The plant section and the lady's like, anything I can help you? Is there anything you're looking for? And I said, my wife. And she goes, oh, well, they. They got such. Such. Here, let me give you a couple bags of bird seed. And I'm filling up my back, you know, my free bird seed and all kinds of stuff. And I got my little. So I. I bought a Sabbath side when it snowed real heavy, and me and the girls rode it back through the woods. And I ain't been back on my trails in a long time. And there was limbs everywhere, trees across trails and stuff. And I was like, I'm gonna give me a little electric battery powered chainsaw. They make a battery powered chain?

[Travis]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

And I'm like, I'm getting that. And so I wanted to get it sent to the house from Lowe's, but they require a signature. And I'm never.

[Travis]

We missed that. We tried twice and missed the guy at the gate twice.

[Dale Jr.]

I ain't never available for a signature. And so, yeah, I went in. She said, you wanna go Lowe's? I'm like, I do wanna go Lowe's.

[Travis]

I equally went in there asking for where my husband was, and they were like, I think he went back there to the new cigar bar. And I was like, I just looked at him. He goes, just kidding. We didn't. I. Just kidding. I wouldn't be shocked if that was an actual thing, but I was just shocked that I didn't know about it yet.

[Dale Jr.]

There's a speakeasy in the back.

[Travis]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Can you imagine if that Lowe's had beer?

[Dale Jr.]

It'd be great.

[Travis]

Why.

[Dale Jr.]

Why don't Lowe's. Why does it. Lowe's.

[Travis]

They should have a champagne bar in there too. Like, there's always one part of the couple that doesn't want to be in the lows, right?

[Amy]

Mimosas on Sundays, like, yeah, only in

[Dale Jr.]

opposite side of the store. They need a they need a champagne room for the ladies right next to the flowers. They need a little speakeasy for the men.

[Travis]

Yeah, you're welcome. Lowe's. Are you listening?

[Dale Jr.]

I mean, they got bars in grocery stores now.

[Travis]

Yeah. You can go to the Lowe's, sit and hang out.

[Dale Jr.]

It's not a crazy idea.

[Travis]

Yeah. They have happy hour at the Lowe's Foods.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah. And that's another thing. Like, what is up with the. Like, Lowe's Foods and then the Lowe's Hardware.

[Travis]

It's not the same out there.

[Dale Jr.]

I know it. Like, how did that happen? How was that allowed?

[Amy]

Probably because there's. It's only trademark under, like, Lowe's Home improvement. Home improvement stuff and not grocery store.

[Dale Jr.]

I think that they need to get together and somebody needs to decide to change it to, like, flows or floats.

[Amy]

I mean, forget that. How do we have a Whataburger? That's.

[Travis]

That.

[Amy]

That's the.

[Travis]

I know. You're just not like. Can we just share the. Brian's want to share the. Sean's want to share.

[Amy]

No, he's got a point.

[Travis]

That lows and lows. I mean, it's spelled exactly the same.

[Dale Jr.]

The Brian's.

[Travis]

We're back to the name thing. I shouldn't have brought this up, man. Whataburger, Lowe's, all of it.

[Dale Jr.]

Like, I was texting last night about a To. I was texting with a friend about a Brian, and I keep having to spell check, change the. Because my phone's trying to spell it one way, but it's supposed to be spelled the other way. And I'm like, God dang it.

[Amy]

I'd like to throw Laney into the mix, too. There's Laney, there's I, E, and there's E, Y. And I have. People have it spelled both ways, and it's like.

[Travis]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

The best part.

[Amy]

Come together.

[Dale Jr.]

The best part about the name debate was going into my comments and. And seeing all of the different Sean's.

[Travis]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

Vying for their.

[Travis]

Their, you know, S H, A U, N Wants in on this.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah. Yeah. They were supposed to do.

[Travis]

We're just throwing ourselves out here.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah. There was a whole third Sean that we hadn't.

[Travis]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

We hadn't even mentioned. And they were like, what about us? We need to be heard.

[Travis]

And it's clearly the third. The least popular spelling.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Travis]

That's funny. Like, don't leave us out. We're already dangling by a thread down here.

[Dale Jr.]

Fight for our lives. Oh, man.

[Travis]

It was funny. Sorry, we got off tangent.

[Amy]

No, it's good. All Right. We got one more. I think we fit in here. Five words that were used to describe the last kiss your man gave you.

[Travis]

The last kiss.

[Amy]

Yes.

[Travis]

Your man gave you.

[Amy]

This was. You know that you pull like a hundred people?

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Travis]

A peck.

[Dale Jr.]

Let's hear it ain't.

[Travis]

Nope. Sloppy.

[Dale Jr.]

Hey, let's go.

[Amy]

Sloppy was number two.

[Travis]

Hey, this is the universe.

[Dale Jr.]

Your man.

[Travis]

No, it's not my questionnaire.

[Dale Jr.]

No, I want the five. That's. You would describe the kiss I gave you.

[Travis]

Sweet.

[Amy]

That's five.

[Dale Jr.]

Oh, that's good. You're okay.

[Travis]

Nice.

[Dale Jr.]

Nice. Three more.

[Travis]

I like it doesn't count.

[Dale Jr.]

It's got to be an adjective.

[Travis]

Simple. Short.

[Dale Jr.]

Whoa, whoa. Simple. We're going off. No, I'm going off.

[Travis]

The last kiss quicker fails simple.

[Dale Jr.]

Now people are going to be giving me.

[Travis]

He gives me kisses in the morning in front of the kids. He's not going to make out me like there's Tasteful. Tasteful. Is that allowed Tasteful kiss? I don't know.

[Dale Jr.]

Dale's a simple.

[Travis]

Damn. He putting me on the spot.

[Amy]

Do you want the last two?

[Travis]

Okay, so wait. We started with sloppy.

[Amy]

Sloppy, quick and sweet. You've already got.

[Travis]

Oh, those were all part of the thing.

[Amy]

Yes.

[Travis]

What's the word for, like, when they go all in? There's gotta be just one word. It's not French. Super French. He was super French. What is it, Travis?

[Amy]

Warm and wet.

[Travis]

Woof. Give me a big old sloppy wet kiss.

[Dale Jr.]

Gross. Warm kiss.

[Travis]

That's what I mean. When you just describe a kiss, it doesn't sound as good as when you're actually getting the kiss. Even if it is warm and wet. We've done it. I think we did it.

[Travis]

Hello, Dale and I are. Sorry. I was gonna say hi, guys, and I said hello, so I screwed it all up. We're in the Dirty One Media Studios for another round. Bless yous Heart and Ask Amy. So what do you have for us?

[Amy]

All right, so first question is, do you have any advice for meeting a parent for the first time?

[Travis]

Being a parent for the first time?

[Dale Jr.]

No.

[Amy]

Meeting a parent, like, so you're dating someone and meeting their parents.

[Travis]

Well, I said this to Tims when he was meeting the parents for the first time. You always take a gift, like try to find out what they're into or something from, like, where you came from. Something that, like, represents you. And take a gift. Also, try to listen more than you speak because I feel like when you go in a little too hard, like you regret that. You know what I mean? Sometimes you say things that you just either you didn't mean, like you're nervous or you over chat. So trying to, like, listen more than you speak and always hang your presence. That's a good tone.

[Amy]

Dale, do you remember meeting Amy's parents?

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah, I mean, I'm more like, you know, being neat and tidy in the bathroom. If you use their bathroom, make sure you wipe the seat. Clean up after yourself.

[Travis]

Oh, my gosh.

[Dale Jr.]

You don't want to leave, you know,

[Travis]

don't leave a trail in the bathroom.

[Dale Jr.]

You might have. You might.

[Amy]

If it wasn't the parents. Don't even worry about it.

[Travis]

Yeah, no kidding. Just go out the window if you do. By the way, I. I will get

[Dale Jr.]

something out of the refrigerator and. And you know, you know, drip something on the floor and not realize it. Or leave trash by the trash can that didn't make it all the way in.

[Travis]

So he's saying, don't be an animal.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Travis]

Be like, be polite.

[Dale Jr.]

Be a little more aware. Like in your own house. You know, I try to do the same thing, but sometimes maybe I'm not as thorough.

[Travis]

And so I can't believe that's your first answer. Well, I'm Just tidy in the back.

[Amy]

Don't pee on the toilet. Yeah.

[Travis]

Don't pee on the floor.

[Dale Jr.]

I'm like, you know, lift the lid. You know, clean everything up. Make sure they don't come in there behind you and go, damn, what an idiot.

[Travis]

Yeah, that's the thing. The same thing. Like, just don't be an idiot.

[Dale Jr.]

Take that and apply it to every. Everything.

[Travis]

Everything. Also, make sure that you are. I mean, you should do this anyway, but make sure you're showing your girl or your guy respect. Being polite to them is what parents are always looking at.

[Dale Jr.]

That's all.

[Travis]

How you treat them.

[Dale Jr.]

That's probably all the matters that's really important. Yeah.

[Amy]

I think Mr. And Mrs. Too, instead of their name.

[Travis]

Yes. Addressing appropriately. Yes. Having all the manners.

[Dale Jr.]

I was thinking, I mean, you're not. You don't have to be overly like, yes, sir, yes, ma', am, and all that stuff, because they're not that in. They're not. They're not tagging what you're. How you're treating them or how polite you are to them. Some of that matters. But to Amy's point, they're. They're really watching how you are to their. Their child.

[Travis]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

Kid. Right. And. And they're gonna analyze everything. How you spoke, how you looked, how you gestured, all the things in Interact. Any. Any interaction you have.

[Travis]

Have you ever had any awkward experiences where.

[Dale Jr.]

Because they're trying to guess, like, how you treat them when.

[Travis]

Yeah. They're not around and they're trying. Well, they're reading if you're genuine or not. So that's it. But have you ever had any awkward experiences meeting parents?

[Dale Jr.]

I've never really. I've not met too many.

[Travis]

You've not met too many parents?

[Dale Jr.]

Oh, I didn't get that. I didn't get that far into the relationship until me. I mean, we used to joke that, you know, if it went three months. That was a long one.

[Travis]

Who was doing the joking? You and your friend?

[Dale Jr.]

Buddies.

[Travis]

Travis, how about you? Have you met parents yet? You have a girlfriend?

[Dale Jr.]

I know we were all single and we didn't like when one of us was in a relationship.

[Travis]

Yeah, I remember that part of you. Nobody was allowed to have a girlfriend if you didn't have a girlfriend.

[Dale Jr.]

No. And I didn't. You know, I knew when I. When I was dating somebody, I'm like, ah, They're. They wish I was available that my buddies wish I could go do. And so I need to. I need to. I need to get rid of this.

[Travis]

Get rid of this this.

[Dale Jr.]

This thing, you know, this. Not this person. Not the person, but, like, I need to change this part of my life. I need to get out of this situation and back to hanging out with my buddies.

[Travis]

Well, okay, I don't really have an answer to that.

[Dale Jr.]

I'm so lucky Amy broke me.

[Amy]

I'll answer your question. Yes, I have. It was last night.

[Travis]

You met him last night.

[Amy]

Met her mom last night.

[Travis]

How did that go?

[Amy]

I think it went well. I brought her a beer because she likes IPAs.

[Travis]

Wait, say it again.

[Amy]

So she likes IPAs. So I brought her a six pack of.

[Travis]

You did take her a gift.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Travis]

That's so nice.

[Amy]

And she liked those beers, so it worked.

[Travis]

Nice.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Travis]

Well, good for you. So I have no doubt that you. Because you have manners anyway, that you did a good job, but taking a

[Dale Jr.]

gift is like, you're not around him all the time.

[Travis]

I'm around him enough. I'm pretty intuitive.

[Amy]

I can tell she's got a good read on me.

[Dale Jr.]

Okay.

[Travis]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Because I remember. Remember the dry jam?

[Travis]

You look so pretty today, Ralph. Does that make you feel better?

[Dale Jr.]

No, I'm just saying I'm around him. He's not always.

[Travis]

He's got manners. Y' all are dudes.

[Dale Jr.]

Always full of manners.

[Travis]

Oh, my gosh. He's jealous. We made him jealous.

[Dale Jr.]

I'm zero jealous.

[Travis]

I am zero jealous. You are? You are a hundred jealous. No, I'm just scratching his head now. Now the hat's off. Do we have another question?

[Amy]

How's the scar doing?

[Dale Jr.]

Physical. Single signal.

[Amy]

Is the scar. Is the scar gone?

[Travis]

Oh, yeah. Cup is gone. Well, it's right in the line of his ball cap, so you can't really

[Dale Jr.]

see it, but it's healed. It's not going to bleed anymore.

[Amy]

That's good. Next question. If you could go back to a specific age, what age would that be to relive?

[Travis]

Gosh, this is a good one.

[Dale Jr.]

So, Cam, our friend in South Carolina sent me a video on Instagram.

[Travis]

Oh, she did?

[Dale Jr.]

And it was a video of Darlington from this. Like, probably 68, 69. And it was a cup. Cars and trailers coming into Darlington to park in the garage. And it had, like, you know, some badass song from the 70s. And I was like, this wants me to. This. This makes me wish I had a time machine.

[Travis]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

And so.

[Travis]

But you weren't alive then. You were zero then.

[Dale Jr.]

I know I was zero then, but I think my mind always thinks about racing. Not like, oh, I'm, you know, my fourth birthday, or.

[Travis]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

Or this was a Fun year in my life.

[Travis]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

I would go. How old was I in 1979 so I could go to the Daytona 500, you know, so I think 1979 would be the year I would love to go back to.

[Travis]

So you're five.

[Dale Jr.]

Yes.

[Amy]

But you're doing all the things that you were when you're five.

[Dale Jr.]

All right, scratch that.

[Travis]

I would like to go back to like 11. Like, I know that's like such an awkward time of life, but I feel like I could. I feel like if I just did a couple things differently, I would have enjoyed it more.

[Amy]

And you're carefree at that age.

[Travis]

Like, I feel like I enjoyed it too much and I probably should have concentrated a little harder and like, compartmentalize some things. But, you know, both times were super interesting and fun.

[Amy]

I would take 21. 21, junior year of college. Yeah, you're just having fun.

[Travis]

Yeah, it was very carefree.

[Dale Jr.]

All right.

[Travis]

Dale was also very carefree that time of his life.

[Dale Jr.]

Sure, sure. I was late bloomer. I wasn't too crazy at 21, I think. Yeah. I mean, probably mid-80s. Honestly, would. I would go back to 1981, 82, something like that. Just moved in with dad and Teresa. And I don't really remember going to many races, but 81 was a badass year in NASCAR, and so I'd like to go. Go do that one again. You know what I've always thought would be neat. And so I think about. I think about this kind of all the time. Probably once a week, it'd be cool to time travel back to my dad that. Back to like the start of my dad's career with all of the knowledge that I have, which isn't even all that much. I mean, there's, there's guys that are in, in NASCAR with tons more knowledge than I have, but I'd love to go back in time and be the 12 or 13 year old kid, but have all this knowledge and be like, hey, dad, this is what you need to do to your car this weekend. And he'll be like, you're 12. What are you talking about?

[Travis]

Kick rock.

[Dale Jr.]

Convince him to, like, do it. And he'd be like, holy, he's a savant. How does he know this?

[Amy]

My kid's a genius.

[Dale Jr.]

Wouldn't that be insane? Yeah, yeah. That would be like lap in the field.

[Travis]

Yeah. Time traveling with knowledge, like they did. And I think I brought this up before, like, in fact, to the future when they have the almanac, of course. Man, that would be so fun.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah, yeah, it's so cool.

[Amy]

Next question. So the hall of Fame has been discussed a lot this week. We're not going to get to that part, but if you could go to any, like, specific thing, like a clothing hall of fame or a movie hall, like, what is something you want to go and just like, seal the best of everything, like a candy hall of fame. Try all candies.

[Travis]

Or a fashion hall of fame would be really cool. They do that. They do expos. You know, like expositions for different designers and even the Met Gala. Like, that would be fun to walk through and see all the things when they have those displayed. Just that the theme changes every year. But I don't know. We've been to, like, plenty of exposed with cars and I've even seen, like, old military planes. And even though I'm not interested in it, it's fun to look at.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Travis]

All the paintings and everything from the warplanes.

[Dale Jr.]

And I don't think that's where I'd probably. I would rather go to, like a history museum or something where you could actually see tangible things.

[Travis]

I'd like to see an old ship, like a real ship. I know they don't exist anymore because they are made of.

[Amy]

Well, I mean, if you go to Hawaii, if you go to Pearl harbor, you can go on and.

[Travis]

Yeah, that's true. I mean, like a pirate ship. Like.

[Dale Jr.]

Oh.

[Travis]

Or like the Nina, the Pinta and the Santa Maria. Like, where are those guys? Yeah, I thought one of them was still around. I could be wrong.

[Dale Jr.]

I don't know. There's stuff like that, though, that you can go see.

[Travis]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Travis]

You know, I haven't seen that. I hear is amazing. Is the ark in Kentucky. Noah's ark. They built one.

[Dale Jr.]

Oh, they built a.

[Travis]

A new one. Oh, it's not.

[Amy]

I'm like, wait a second here. That's why I was about to.

[Dale Jr.]

They say that the ark is. They found it. You know, you've seen those. You see that stuff on social media for the last several years where they, like, it might be. This ridge line is shaped this way. It's in this mountainous region where it makes, you know, it kind of lines up with the biblical information and they're like, you know, sonar into the ground.

[Amy]

And what I think would be cool is if you like a 90s hall of Fame and you go into a room and it's like they just play like those shows and have like the snacks that used to have in the meals, like a very. Like, you just sit there and like for an hour and golf yourself. Engulf yourself and like you're 12 years old again. Just like Saturday mornings.

[Dale Jr.]

Well, that would be cool. One of my favorite. We went to Orlando theme park. Remember the drive in?

[Travis]

Yeah. So we were at Universal Studios and they. They have a. A drive in cinema that you said. And you eat.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah. They have a retro drive in and this is. It's not super thorough, but it was really, really cool. So you sit in this. You sit in a car.

[Amy]

I've been there.

[Dale Jr.]

Yep. You sit in a car. That's a little booth. They serve you basically, you know, cheeseburger fries. And you're watching these old sci fi movies on loop.

[Amy]

Yep.

[Dale Jr.]

And they're. I mean, I could have. Sitting there for hours. It was so much fun.

[Amy]

Did you go to the place where it's like an old school diner?

[Travis]

Yes.

[Amy]

They refused to let me have dessert until I finished my meal. Like it was.

[Travis]

You have to finish like your vegetables

[Amy]

before you get to the dessert. Yes.

[Dale Jr.]

I'm like, this is.

[Amy]

This is. I'm on vacation. I want dessert. Like, what are we doing here?

[Travis]

Meanwhile, the brownie cart's rolling around the restaurant.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Travis]

Yeah. Nope.

[Amy]

I hated it.

[Travis]

It's a neat vibe. But yeah, their rules are serious in there. I forgot about that part.

[Dale Jr.]

I do. I see stuff like that on my Instagram all the time. There's like a Red Dead Redemption themed bar. And you'll see stuff like that where they'll be like, they're in this town and it's always Midwest somewhere. Somewhere far away, unreachable by. By car. And you're like, it's this such and such theme bar. And you're like, yeah, that'd be. I wanna, like, I wanna. I wanna go do these. See these places?

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Travis]

Like that's a real thing.

[Dale Jr.]

Yes.

[Travis]

A Red Dead Redemption bar.

[Dale Jr.]

There's a video game. Western video.

[Travis]

I remember the game.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Travis]

And so used to play that in the theater.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Travis]

Gigantic screen.

[Amy]

I bet that was awesome.

[Travis]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Was it Red Dead one or two?

[Dale Jr.]

I think two. Yeah, both. I played both.

[Amy]

But yeah, I recently got into. I don't for the first time ever. Played it like two years ago.

[Dale Jr.]

Really stands up.

[Travis]

He used to sit down there. There's no windows in the theater. And he used to sit down there for hours. A long time. He like, didn't know what time it was.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Travis]

All night.

[Amy]

Yeah. Because you can play it. There's not like a. You can just golf and do your own thing for two hours. You don't have to follow, like the game, you know, story arc.

[Dale Jr.]

Yep.

[Travis]

So, yeah, I don't know. Vintage candies would be fun.

[Dale Jr.]

There's vintage candies.

[Travis]

Yeah. Like going through a hall of fame of things. Candy would be.

[Dale Jr.]

I wouldn't like going. I would not like going. Unless they were. It was available to. To buy.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

Like, if you go up and they're like, here's the hall of fame of candies, and there's. Here's. Here's some badass old. And you're like, I kind of want to try it. Yeah, I kind of want to do, you know, give me some of that.

[Amy]

Yeah, I think you have to do that. You can't be included.

[Travis]

Like, give me some of that.

[Amy]

If you have some candy but you can't offer it, then you can't be in there.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah. That's a big old tease I went into. So we was in Key west, and we started off at Schooners on the second day, and I had to go to use the bathroom, so I went. Run back in the hotel room, did that. And the guys went on down to the next bar. So while they went on down the next bar, I kind of wandered around town a little bit by myself, and I went up. I went up to our little house and took a selfie with it and sent it to Amy.

[Travis]

Yeah. And don't cry.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah. I went to our. Our house, and then to the house we remodeled. I walked past it, too, but walking down Duval, they have a candy shop, and I went in there and I bought some caramels with the.

[Travis]

I mean, he just had a tooth pop off on the last vacation, and now he's at the candy shop getting caramels.

[Amy]

You think he's learned his lesson?

[Dale Jr.]

No, no caramels. And then the. Some chewing gum, and then the crybabies, the little tears. Oh, I love sour. So the cry baby, the little tear. Crybaby. Tears are. Are super sour.

[Travis]

I've never had those.

[Dale Jr.]

Yes, right there.

[Travis]

I didn't know that was a thing.

[Dale Jr.]

You're right on them. You're all over it.

[Amy]

Never had they before.

[Dale Jr.]

So I got some of the gum. Sour gum. You just had it, and you got

[Travis]

some sour gum, got some of the

[Dale Jr.]

tears, and basically you put it in one giant bag, and I'm over there with the shovels, just shoveling my stuff into my bag, and I walk over there, and I put it on the counter, and the lady goes, oh, my. What the hell? No judgment. It's a candy store. What the hell? What do you mean, oh, my? What do people walk up here with an ounce?

[Travis]

Maybe she's trying to connect with you. I don't know.

[Dale Jr.]

No, she, like, was like.

[Amy]

Oh, you know, that sounds like a judgment. Oh, my.

[Dale Jr.]

It was. Yeah. I was like, hey, now we're in the freaking candy store, and there's, like, literally freaking megatons of this in this room. What do you think people were? I don't know. I was a little taken aback.

[Amy]

Well, how much? So how much was the weight of candy?

[Travis]

How much did you pay for the candy? I don't know.

[Dale Jr.]

A pound of candy.

[Travis]

A pound of candy?

[Amy]

That's not that much.

[Travis]

It wasn't a lot. He didn't bring any of it home.

[Amy]

Well, yeah, you're not bringing candy, backstairs.

[Dale Jr.]

It's upstairs in the library.

[Travis]

Oh, he did where his baseball card collection is.

[Dale Jr.]

I'll give you some.

[Amy]

That's good.

[Travis]

I like my teeth. We'll keep my teeth.

[Amy]

You can have teeth and still have candy.

[Travis]

Yeah, apparently not him. He's. Some caramels are gonna pull him right off.

[Dale Jr.]

No.

[Travis]

All right, do you have any more questions?

[Amy]

Nope, that's it.
