[Amy]

Are you kidding me? I couldn't believe it. What's going on? The world is not your trash can.

[Dale Jr.]

I slept till 2. Smoking cigarettes and drinking amp energy.

[Amy]

Lord have mercy. Why is that so funny to you?

[Dale Jr.]

I didn't know we was gonna talk about that.

[Amy]

We're gonna talk about it, all right. I got the inside scoop on opening day for the Texas Whataburger chain that is now in Mooresville. And I feel like this is like.

[Dale Jr.]

Something to talk about.

[Amy]

It is God dropping a little nugget for me to make me feel at home?

[Dale Jr.]

We need to address it. First off, drink of the week, presented by High Rock Vodka. Today's drink is the Sundrops of Jupiter. Sundrops of Jupiter. Four ounces of Sun Drop. For those of you who aren't in local to North Carolina, Sundrop is a citrus soda comparable to to do or or Melly Yellow But I've drank Sundrop all my life. And it's been in our fridges since my dad was young, so. And I'm racing the Sundrop car this weekend at Tri county. And so it's, you know, some sun drop, 4 ounces, 2 ounces of high rock vodka, a splash of cherry juice. Then they have a cherry lemon sundrop, which you can also get in a red can. Cherry lemon Sundrop ice cubes.

[Amy]

Yeah. She froze the soda in ice cube in a tray and made that way it's never watered down too. It's like Sundrop, Sun Drop.

[Dale Jr.]

Sun Drop. Yeah. It's super sweet. Really, really good. So that's a nice drink. Visit highrockvodka.com for a locator on the store to be able to help you find a bottle near you so you're not traveling searching on a wild goose chase. Please remember to drink responsibly. And you must be 21 years or older or over. And so. Yeah, let's get right into it. I was. Isla's here. She's not in the room, but she's out in the lobby. I wanted her to come in here not for the show because we'd have to really clean it up. But I thought it'd be neat for her to see what we do.

[Amy]

I think she'd probably clam up.

[Dale Jr.]

She has zero interest.

[Amy]

No, she has no interest. She could care less about what anybody else is doing.

[Dale Jr.]

She's out there.

[Amy]

She gets this genetic trait from someone that. It's not her idea. It's not important. Oh, yeah. So she's. She's not in here with us.

[Dale Jr.]

Do you know what happened last night that was awesome? And I.

[Amy]

No, I don't. What?

[Dale Jr.]

This has nothing to do with nothing. Oh, but last night. Nicole is going to be five in a couple days.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

And big time for her. She's turning five. She's getting ready. She's going into boosters now. She doesn't need the car seats anymore, which is great for us.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

Get rid of those. Yeah. But last night I said as I was closing the door to her bedroom, good night, princess. And she said, good night, my king.

[Amy]

That's some straight bull.

[Dale Jr.]

She did.

[Amy]

Nuh.

[Dale Jr.]

I swear to God. You ask her.

[Amy]

I didn't even hear you chuckle last night when you put her to bed. So how am I supposed to believe that?

[Dale Jr.]

I was holding that one in. I just was.

[Amy]

You came into Isla's room after you put her down and said nothing about this.

[Dale Jr.]

I know I did. Well. Well, I didn't want y' all to.

[Amy]

Go, oh, he didn't want us to poo poo on his parade. I was feeling great, because even Isla probably would have been like, I didn't.

[Dale Jr.]

Want anybody to pop the balloon, but she did. I said. I mean, I said, good night, princess. Good night, my princess. I say something super sweet and most every time, and she said, good night, my king.

[Amy]

I was like, oh, that's ridiculous.

[Dale Jr.]

It was hilarious.

[Amy]

It's weird.

[Dale Jr.]

I thought it was awesome. She. She got into the car this morning and she. I saw her booster, and I said, oh, yeah.

[Amy]

So I. They. I got a new car.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy]

I saw the booster instead of trying to put the other car seat in, which is such a pain in the rear end, and I never get it tight enough anyway, I just threw a booster in. I was like, you got this, Coley. Just.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Sit in this. Don't tell anybody.

[Dale Jr.]

I said, hey, you got. You're in a booster now. She goes, yep. And she's climbing in there. And she. She goes, little goldfish. Like, it was hung down in there.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

She just said it, like, in such a funny way. She looked at me, goes, oh, just a little goldfish. And she put it in the little cup holder.

[Amy]

The cooling car clearly didn't last a day to be found already.

[Dale Jr.]

She's. She has such a funny sense of humor.

[Amy]

Yeah, she does. Everything's kind of matter of fact.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Nothing's very serious. Except for chocolate.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy]

And that's the only thing she takes.

[Dale Jr.]

Isla has gotten super huggy. Totally not a. Not. Not a hugger. Has now gotten huggy.

[Amy]

Yeah. You used to. She'd walk up to her, try to give her a hug, and she'd just go ahead and karate chop you, punch you, growl at you. She's like, get off of me. And now she wants to hug everybody. She's even hugging all her friends at school.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah. Which is.

[Amy]

I don't love that.

[Dale Jr.]

Not allowed. Yeah.

[Amy]

Yeah. But like, girlfriends, like, they're all hanging on each other, and I kind of remember my mom telling us that when we were like, quit hanging all over each other. It's so weird.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy]

So maybe it's just a phase kids go through.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah. Certainly a phase. But.

[Amy]

But she's back to being nice again.

[Dale Jr.]

One that I. Yeah, she is. I told her it's good. We were in the car getting ready to drop off yesterday, and I told her. I said, man, you have been awesome. You've been to such a good little girl here lately. I just wanted to tell you. Well, driven to Give is tonight. That is our annual. Our. We have an annual major sort of event for our. For the. For the foundation. And that is tonight we have a silent auction. Fans can be a part of it. I encourage you, even if you don't bid, just to go check out what we have, share with friends. Maybe you'll send a friend something that you think they may want to bid on. So even if you don't bid, you might be supporting us some way somehow. So go to the dalejrfoundation.org the dale junior foundation.org and the silent auction ends on October 3rd at 2pm so that's a couple days. It is the first.

[Amy]

Yeah, yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

So the auction won't end tonight. That's something I didn't know.

[Amy]

That's a new thing. So usually it ends the night of the event and it's. It's good if you are only able to bid if you're at the event. But we have taken that a little bit more broad now so that people that can attend have a chance to also support the foundation and find some cool items.

[Dale Jr.]

Some of my friends have been sending me some not so funny jokes about how there's a lot of Dallas Cowboys items.

[Amy]

Yeah, there's an Emmett Smith jersey in.

[Dale Jr.]

There on this auction. But hey, there's a lot of great things.

[Amy]

There are. There's some trips, small items, big items.

[Dale Jr.]

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Amy]

Lots of. Lots to look at.

[Dale Jr.]

Yes.

[Amy]

Check it out.

[Dale Jr.]

I'll. As I mentioned, I'm running this weekend at Tri county for. In the sundrop car. Tri County. We went and tested a couple weeks ago. It went all right.

[Amy]

Does that mean it went all right?

[Dale Jr.]

Well, I don't know. You know, I try.

[Amy]

What are you expecting when you roll up for a test?

[Dale Jr.]

I try not to be a pest. I try not to be pessimistic about this. But I'll be honest. Like there, I've ran the late model car, let's say a dozen times and it's probably a little bit more than that. But say I've ran it 12 times. There's some runs where it's not great and then there's some runs where it's pretty good.

[Amy]

That's the same car.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah. I mean, I'm just saying, like, you know, I've ran okay. Not. I've not ran great ever. Except for that one time in the red Bud car. The red Bud car. We were lights out.

[Amy]

Oh, yeah. The night that I lights out. Literally fell asleep.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah. That was the one race where it was like, man, we really did have the shot to win maybe the first race, too, when I. When I drove the Gold Bass pro car and. And was running good. So I've had a couple good runs.

[Amy]

Do you think it has to do with your mental state?

[Dale Jr.]

I honestly think it has to do. So we went testing, and I talked. I think I talked to you about this. So we go testing, and you did.

[Amy]

Talk to me about this. It's pretty funny.

[Dale Jr.]

It's. I don't know. We don't go ahead. We went. We went testing, and I can run the lap times that the other guys run. I can't. Hot lap. I ain't got a damn qualifying lap in me left.

[Amy]

And you never were like.

[Dale Jr.]

I know I never was.

[Amy]

And it was like the vein of your existence.

[Dale Jr.]

I know. In the first. You know, in the first several years of my career, I never felt like I was subpar at qualifying. All through the xfinity series in 98, 99, and through the bud years, the. There were ups and downs, but there were. There were some good qualifying runs mixed in there. That never made me feel like, man, this is a weakness for me. But for whatever reason, was there like.

[Amy]

A moment like a qualifying run, a weekend or something that, like, destroyed your confidence?

[Dale Jr.]

I don't know.

[Amy]

Thought about too hard.

[Dale Jr.]

I don't know what it is, but I've lost that edge or just that under. I've lost the knack for going out there and putting down a really hard, fast lap. It don't exist. You don't.

[Amy]

It doesn't. It doesn't exist.

[Dale Jr.]

Don't exist in me. And so we went to the test, right? And we're out there running and say we're running. I ran a really. My best lap was like a 91. And we run a lot of flats and teens and 20s, and we're like, I don't know if this is good. And so Kaden Quapple's there, Carson's younger brother. He races pros and late model stocks for us as well. Plan is for him to go full time next year in the cars tour for us. And I said, hey, man, put your suit on. Hop in here before we load this car up. And he gets in there and on, you know, 25 lap tires, running runs at 81, and that's two. That's a tenth faster. And I run on stickers. And. But, you know, his next lap, his second, third, fourth, fifth lap are exactly like mine. Flats, teens. It's just not. I can't go out there and just go, great for one lap. I don't know. And I'm turning 51. I've always had this sort of. I've always had this, you know, always sort of been interested in the mystery of why drivers slow down. You know, and every time I've had a guy on the Dale Jr. Download, like, not, not picking on anybody, but, like, interviewing a guy like Dale Jarrett, right. And saying, dale Jarrett, you were awesome. But, you know, at some point in your career, it goes. It goes away. It leaves you. Or there's variables.

[Amy]

Is it just because you get more cautious in life, really?

[Dale Jr.]

No, I don't. It's a mystery. I have no ide idea.

[Amy]

So is that like, a question you ask every, like, verbatim, like, why do we slow down? And nobody can explain it?

[Dale Jr.]

No, it's very. It's different for different people. Injury, they get in a bad car, they lose good rides. You know, stuff like that. That's obvious.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

But, like, I've got a pretty solid race car. This thing should qualify top 10. It should race top 10. I'll probably not qualify that well with it. And if I did qualify well with it, I'd certainly race the way it should because I think I can run the race the way it needs to be. Ra. But for whatever reason, man, and, and so, yeah, going into this weekend, I'm looking forward to it. I want to do it. I signed up for it.

[Amy]

Your expectations.

[Dale Jr.]

But I don't know what to think about, like, going out there and just getting smoked by these kids.

[Amy]

Yeah, it hurts your feelings. So he came home and he's like. He'll never guess and tells the whole story. And he's like, I just. And he's stomping his feet, like, yeah, I just. It pisses me off so bad. I'm like, I've got all this. I said, dale, blink your eyes. And he goes. I'm like, that's how fast that was. Like that, that tenth that you're talking about. Like, let it go, man. It's just that big of a deal.

[Dale Jr.]

You're right. But I just. I want to. I, you know, I like being able to run these races and being somewhat competitive. And when you feel like you're going to the race and you're. You're get. You're handicapped, you know, in qualifying because of your age or your ability or your lack of sharpness or whatever it is. I don't know what it is, but you feel like you go into the race with that handicap in qualifying, that's going to sort of make the race more Difficult, but it should be fun. Hey, who knows? You know, I think every now and then a blind squirrel finds a nut. And I've had a couple good qualifying runs.

[Amy]

What'd you just say?

[Dale Jr.]

Blind. Even a blind squirrel can find a nut.

[Amy]

I got you.

[Dale Jr.]

So that's an old saying. So maybe. Maybe we get. Maybe we get lucky. I was talking to John Wood about this yesterday on our. On the Dale Jr. Download. John Wood is. Is like that as well.

[Amy]

How does he.

[Dale Jr.]

He. John Wood is a little younger than me, but he's the president at Wood Brothers Racing.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Dale Jr.]

And he is Z. Leonard's. Eddie's son. Glenn's grandson.

[Amy]

Got it.

[Dale Jr.]

Not Leonard would have been his uncle. Uncle. Yeah. And so. Great uncle. So every time Josh Berry runs good, we end up in a text conversation. And he's like. I'm like, hey, man, you know, badass going well today. And he goes, just keep watching.

[Amy]

What does that mean?

[Dale Jr.]

Like, it's about to come out and done anyway.

[Amy]

Like, it's not going to last. That's the type of attitude you have.

[Dale Jr.]

I know. I just said that.

[Amy]

What the wrong with that generation of you? You guys, like, y' all are like, it can't. Nothing good can last. And I told you that in a lot of aspects of life.

[Dale Jr.]

I agree. He. I'm sort of in and out of watching the race, and Josh didn't pit, stayed out. The rest of the field come down, get. Gets tires, and now Josh is starting on the front row. And I turn. I turn it back to the race, and I'm like, oh, Josh is starting first. And right around the same time, John text me, and he goes, here's. Well, it's fun while it lasted. That's what he said. And I'm like, john, you're leading. You're restarting first year, pal. What do you mean? And then I put it together. He's like, well, we're going to the back because we're on used tires with Josh run second, you know, to Blaney. And I told him on the show yesterday, I said, you know, I felt I was exactly like you. I went into everything, even when it was going well, thinking, when is it going to fall apart? What's it going to be this time? And Amy told me about the law of Attraction and that I was bringing. I was, you know, it. You can't. It's not magic.

[Amy]

It's not. It's not magic.

[Dale Jr.]

No. You can't think, oh, I want this to happen, and poof, it's going to be that way.

[Amy]

Right.

[Dale Jr.]

But if you are thinking negatively, that energy can often.

[Amy]

You're putting your energy into.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah, you can often.

[Amy]

That situation first.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah. You can often, like, allow yourself to accept or encourage that. That bad result. So I told him about that law of attraction. I said, ever since Amy come in, come into my life and told me about that, and I've been trying to, like, have a different attitude.

[Amy]

I'll try to think about it. Like, even if it's a small child, like, if they have a bad attitude all day, every day, it not only makes their day bad, but it's making everybody else's day bad around them. You know what I mean? So, like, you have to set yourself up for choosing joy. And.

[Dale Jr.]

That is the worst. Yeah, that's the worst feeling. I come in here sometimes in a bad mood and I feel guilty because I know that it brings everyone else down. And you're like, yeah, I don't want to mess with their day. I'm having a. You know, I'm mad about this or that.

[Amy]

Yeah, leave it outside.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah. Yeah. Well, I don't know where we're going.

[Amy]

But I want to talk about what we started talking about. Whataburger. So there are two Whataburger chains. Well, the universe knows this, right?

[Dale Jr.]

That's a.

[Amy]

North Carolina has their own Whataburger.

[Dale Jr.]

Yes, they do.

[Amy]

And it is great. It is like the old school drive in. They have not changed a thing. Since when did they open?

[Dale Jr.]

It's like a Sonic from 1950, from.

[Amy]

The 50s, 40s, maybe. Like, the hamburgers are the same size, the portions are the same size, and it's. It's great. But the Texas Whataburger chain that I grew up eating literally was the only fast food place we went to regularly. It was right outside the neighborhood. They even have breakfast tacos. They are now in Mooresville, and I'm sorry, freaking pumped. It's right there in front of Target, like, in an area of town. I circle most days, you know? And it opens on your birthday. Insider information from our friends at Whataburger. And they open on your birthday, which is next Friday. So I'm gonna be the first in line.

[Dale Jr.]

Okay.

[Amy]

And I'm just so excited because that even if I don't go all the time, just seeing the building there makes me feel good.

[Dale Jr.]

Feel good.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

I can appreciate that. The. The Whataburger from Texas is a. Is a. Is. Is a very big.

[Amy]

Yeah. It's a big change business. Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

And growing, obviously, coming all the way out here to North Carolina.

[Amy]

We've got Buc EE's here now. And now we have Whataburger.

[Dale Jr.]

The. The North Carolina Whataburger was very minimized to, you know, the Salisbury, Kannapolis, Concord, Mooresville area. And there's. There. There's only, you know, less than two dozen of them in existence at the peak, I suppose, if I had to guess. But. So.

[Amy]

Well, I hope it doesn't take the other water burger.

[Dale Jr.]

Of course. Yeah. I think that's important to say so. And I don't know how they are different. They are very different, but at the.

[Amy]

Same time, it's burgers and fries.

[Dale Jr.]

Confusing. Very confusing.

[Amy]

And it's spelled the same.

[Dale Jr.]

I don't know how they can both. I don't know how they can both exist in the same place.

[Amy]

I think. I think because of what you just said, realistic. Your Whataburger, the local Whataburger has not changed. Like, its dynamic is what makes it special.

[Dale Jr.]

The people that are going to that Whataburger, the old school North Carolina, where we are not going to stop going to it.

[Amy]

You're right.

[Dale Jr.]

So they're. The business they have, I don't think is going to be affected by the new Whataburger. It's just maybe going to be confusing.

[Amy]

We don't have an NC Whataburger in Mooresville.

[Dale Jr.]

No.

[Amy]

So, like.

[Dale Jr.]

Oh, yeah, we do.

[Amy]

Where? Oh, it's on Main Street. So, like. But they're not close. It's downtown. This right here, literally on the other side of town.

[Dale Jr.]

Well, I.

[Amy]

So maybe that will help, not affect anything. But I'm excited.

[Dale Jr.]

I have. I'll be honest. Look, I have. I have not been to our local Whataburger in a long time. I think I did take Isla there.

[Amy]

I've taken the girls through there.

[Dale Jr.]

Corn dogs, you know, just for her to experience what's going on.

[Amy]

You got her a witch doctor also?

[Dale Jr.]

I did. Well, she didn't drink like, you put.

[Amy]

All the sodas in there.

[Dale Jr.]

It's got Cherryland Sundrop in there. Pickle juice.

[Amy]

Yeah. Actual pickle in the bottom.

[Dale Jr.]

It's pretty terrible, but.

[Amy]

Unique.

[Dale Jr.]

So when I was. When I. When. When dad raced his. His bush car, his Xfinity team out of the garage in mama's backyard. He went there every day. This was before the farm out on Cottle Creek or Highway 3. This is in the 80s. I. Dad went there every morning. He would. You know, he would. Sometimes he didn't. There weren't appearances there. He wasn't so much of a businessman. Every day he Got up and drove to that shop and worked on his cars with Tony Senior and Rick Boston. I begged him to take me when I could when I wasn't in school. Begged him. And I'd ride with him to the shop and go play in the neighborhood with the kids. And at lunch, we never ate anything but the Water Burger in Kannapolis.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

Never ate anything else. There was no Hardee's eating. There was no nothing.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

And we always got the same orders. And you could get a extra order of pickles. And they were. The burger.

[Amy]

They're super dilly sliced.

[Dale Jr.]

Super dilly. So good. And so it's kind of like Sundrop. Like, I became. I worked with Mountain Dew. I've. You know, dad had Melly Yellow on his car at one point in the early 80s. But Sundrop's the home team. And you feel the same way about your Whataburger as I feel about mine?

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

And so it's going to be interesting.

[Amy]

To see how, like, a house divided. So, like, same to your point, Whataburger was the only thing I ate. Even my dad, now, he work shift, work.

[Dale Jr.]

When we go to Texas, we eat whatever. Yeah, it's fine.

[Amy]

I like it, like, he wakes up and that's what he eats for lunch. He's like, two meals a day, like you do, eats Whataburger, and then he'll have dinner, and that's it. And so, like, it's always been a staple.

[Dale Jr.]

I've enjoyed going to it when we go there. I remember seeing it on Race Cars. Freaking David Starr had it on Jimmy Means his Bushcar a couple years ago. And so, I mean, I. And it's orange, which. I like orange, so. And I like that. It's like, when I go out to Texas to visit y', all, your family, I. I like doing the things that y' all do.

[Amy]

Yeah. The local things.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah. So, I mean, it is what it is. But that this is unprecedented.

[Amy]

It really feels like that there's never been.

[Dale Jr.]

Like, there's never been another store moved into another town that was named exactly the same. That there wasn't some sort of a controversy battle.

[Amy]

Yeah, right.

[Dale Jr.]

Like a legal ramification.

[Amy]

Yeah. There's something we're missing because they're here, so who knows? But I'm excited. I can't wait to go through the drive through, and I'm gonna be smiling from ear to ear. But your birthday is when it opens next Friday. So.

[Dale Jr.]

51 years old.

[Amy]

Yeah, 51. How was your 50th year?

[Dale Jr.]

The 50th year was awesome. I wish you could do it again. We had a friend of ours send us a photo the other day of our group picture from Bozeman when we were in Bozeman a year ago in Montana. And I hate how those great trips like that just come and go so quickly.

[Amy]

It feels like we had two years ago.

[Dale Jr.]

I know we haven't seen some of those people that were on that trip since then.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

Which is silly. And time to fly. Life's flying by.

[Amy]

Yeah, it does that.

[Dale Jr.]

It does. But I guess we won't do as much for the 51st year.

[Amy]

I suppose we've probably.

[Dale Jr.]

I'm not getting my hopes up. Celebrate 51 like we celebrated 50.

[Amy]

I think that was impossible.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy]

I might lose a kitty life if I have to celebrate a birthday like that again. We have a scary party planned for Nicole.

[Dale Jr.]

Yes. You want me to be some spooky?

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

Okay. I ordered a mask, or you ordered a mask?

[Amy]

I didn't order anything. It was just a suggestion.

[Dale Jr.]

Oh, I thought that was on order and coming.

[Amy]

No, I didn't order it. If you were going to wear it, I was just giving it to you. Yeah, I didn't order it.

[Dale Jr.]

Oh, man. Well, yeah, we got to get something here.

[Amy]

That might be too far for a birthday.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah, we don't have to get that aggressive. This is a Beetlejuice mask. The guy opens his mouth, has, like, a thousand teeth, and his eyeballs are in his throat. I was gonna wear that for Halloween, but apparently it's not ordered, so it's not coming. But I think the one I. When we were looking at it on your Amazon, it was for the. For it was a female size.

[Amy]

Oh, I don't know.

[Dale Jr.]

Is that one to fit?

[Amy]

How do we know that?

[Dale Jr.]

I looked at your Amazon orders to see if it was coming. I can't remember.

[Amy]

Are you sure? This doesn't feel like any of this would have happened. You would have known it was not on or.

[Dale Jr.]

You sent me a screenshot of it. I just remember seeing it and going, oh, I'm glad.

[Amy]

This is how confusion starts. And. And this is why women and men have such a hard time communicating. I send him a link. I'm like, hey, this is. Would be fun for you and TJ to do. And now he thinks Amy ordered it. It's on its way, but it's for a woman, so we're going to have a problem. Which. Where did that all come from? I haven't ordered anything.

[Dale Jr.]

I think as I get older, you.

[Amy]

Just fill in the blanks. With whatever your assumptions are.

[Dale Jr.]

My brain just. I need to go to the run prompt and type in defrag. You remember. Do you remember defragging your hard drive?

[Amy]

No.

[Dale Jr.]

No. Really?

[Alex]

Defragging.

[Amy]

We're millennials. We don't know how to do things like that.

[Dale Jr.]

I know clearing out my hard drive is fragmented and needs to be defragmented. That would help.

[Amy]

Where do we sign you up for that?

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Alex]

Is that like a store or something?

[Amy]

Is there.

[Dale Jr.]

That is a window.

[Amy]

We could drop you off. That's what we're going to do for your birthday.

[Dale Jr.]

We're going to find always. You know, there was a couple things you always did to your hard drive every now and then to keep it running smooth. Okay.

[Alex]

It's not even an option anymore.

[Amy]

I don't think it's not.

[Dale Jr.]

You guys wouldn't believe what. What it was like when. When I was in college, when you had floppy disks.

[Alex]

I. I knew floppy disks.

[Amy]

I know what floppy disks are.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Our piano, too, still runs off those floppy disks.

[Dale Jr.]

They do. I was on a computer in drafting class in. As a senior in Mooresville. It didn't. They didn't have Windows. It was just dos. You know, you'd start the computer and you put in your heart, you put in your floppy and you needed to know the command to run what was on the floppy. And it was just. You start. The computer enables the C prompt or the D prompt of, you know, the DOS prompt. And like, there wasn't no Windows or.

[Amy]

You know, so you had to, like, no coding language or something.

[Dale Jr.]

You just had to know how to. You had to know what to type in to get. To run whatever program was on. And it was usually written in Sharpie or something on the. On a. Written in pen on the. On the. On the. On the disc. But I used to play NAS Bill Elliott's NASCAR Challenge on DOS prompt. DOS version.

[Amy]

The computer was so rudimentary that it didn't even have like, dude icons you had to type in to get the computer system running. But they had a NASCAR game.

[Dale Jr.]

There was a Bill Elliott's NASCAR Challenge DOS version that I would take and run on on the computer at high school in the 12th grade. And I went. I remember the anxiety of wondering whether this computer could even run this. I mean, you know, I didn't know about computers back then, but I'm so.

[Amy]

You've had anxiety your entire life.

[Dale Jr.]

And I really wasn't supposed to be doing it. Playing video games in school.

[Amy]

That's where the anxiety.

[Dale Jr.]

You were just nervous about that part too. That makes more sense, man. That was my introduction to video games Racing Motorsports. Video Games was Bill Elliott's NASCAR challenge. That was some. It was awesome. Yeah. Looking at it now, the graphics are.

[Alex]

Terrible, but Alex is like, you are 51, man. Damn.

[Amy]

Bless you.

[Dale Jr.]

Hey, you want to help us design some Bless yous Heart merch? Here's your chance.

[Amy]

I got a random question.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Do you follow any weird niche accounts on your social media? If you do, are you going to share them anyway?

[Dale Jr.]

Let me see. I. I don't really do anything right now except for Instagram.

[Amy]

That's where all the good stuff is. That TikTok I went through and I basically just follow my followers.

[Dale Jr.]

That's not CIM51 fast.

[Amy]

You can't even find it. The only thing that I follow that probably you guys wouldn't is plastic surgery accounts.

[Dale Jr.]

Whoa.

[Amy]

Like, very into seeing the process and the before and afters. There's one specific that I follow. It's called the Beauty Broker. And so she's like, she's like a consultant that will help you find your doctor, depending on what procedure you want to have done.

[Dale Jr.]

I like where this is going.

[Amy]

And I mean, she's really good. And so these people are like, reborn. And so it's so fascinating to follow that. And like, I have a couple of friends that also follow those pages and we'll send them back and forth to each other. Like this one. You should mark and keep this one. This doctor was amazing. No, they look good. Like she's. She finds good doctors, not like, whatever local guy is just gonna do it for you. You know what I mean? So it's fun. But that's really the only niche thing I follow. I see lots of, lots of weird stuff on my search page.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Do you follow weird stuff?

[Dale Jr.]

I follow.

[Alex]

I don't know if he's weird. Is this one guy on TikTok that just like prank calls random stores and it's funny because he'll be like, I have my daughter, sweet 16 coming up. And it's like, I need a venue for 16,000. And it's like a small restaurant. And they freak out on the phone. They're like panicking and they're like, well, I don't think we could accommodate that. You need a stadium. And it's like, really funny. And he starts breaking down crying on the phone. Now they're consoling him. It's. It's a whole like five minute thing. It's one of the better prank calls I've ever heard.

[Amy]

That's pretty funny.

[Alex]

It's really funny.

[Amy]

I like it when it's entertaining like that. I did stumble onto one Yesterday I noticed another friend was following it too. So I was texting with her about it last night. But this, she's actually a travel agent and she will help you, like a high end concierge if you will. Like, she'll help you find a really nice watch or whatever. Yeah, but she does like parody re. What's it called when you're redoing it?

[Alex]

Sorry, Parodies.

[Amy]

Yeah, yeah, it's like a parody account, but the, the actual conversations were real, but she just uses fake names and all the, all the mess. So like to protect her clients. Yeah, but the conversations between these people, like the dad and the daughter going between her because she wants this like $90,000 watch and she's not coming to visit dad with his new 25 year old wife unless she gets the watch. And then like there's all these conversations back and forth and they're so long that there was like parts to it.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy]

And that's highly entertaining. But what's disturbing is that these accounts are real. Like real moments that happen between these crazy people with just like more money than sense.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy]

It makes you feel good about your choices and like your morals and all the things.

[Dale Jr.]

But I follow Zillow Gone Wild got a little chuckle.

[Alex]

What does that.

[Dale Jr.]

Zillow Gone Wild is a good one. There was a house on there yesterday that was a Las Vegas bunker house. And it's really cool. Downstairs in the bunker there was another house that have like a like a 70s romper room.

[Amy]

What?

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah, like a. It's kind of like a.

[Amy]

A romp room romper. Like what is that?

[Dale Jr.]

It's kind of like a bar, but there's a bunch. I don't know. That's what it called it. It said a 70s romper room, whatever that means. But it was like shag carpet, all orange, you know, bars and, you know, have a bar here and a, you know, gambling table, but very 70s.

[Amy]

And they're always on the weirdest places in the middle of these random parts of Pennsylvania or so Minnesota.

[Dale Jr.]

Since I follow them, I get a ton of, you know, old house renovation sites and stuff, which I always. 99 of them. I'm like, I'm glad I saw this. This is neat. You know, and then you get on, you get online and go see where they at, where they're located. You get this like, weird sort of. I get you get in this sort of weird like daydream of like if you actually bought it.

[Amy]

Oh, really? You go that far?

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah, I do, I do.

[Amy]

Could you picture yourself in the rumple room I was looking at, like, doing San Angels.

[Dale Jr.]

Like, Like I was looking at some mansion that had been remodeled that's in the middle of some small town in Indiana. It's. It's on Main street, you know, back. It was built in 1900s. It was, you know, Victorian house. Yeah. I mean, it's just beautiful inside, but right in downtown, you know, you know, small town America. And you're like, man, that. That's a nice place.

[Amy]

I get. Could you.

[Dale Jr.]

Could you live. Could you live right downtown in a small town? Like, could you live like two blocks off of Main street in Mooresville? And even if it was in like an old, nice renovated home, I could. Yeah. Like, I wouldn't. I wouldn't know what that experience is. Like, I've always lived down and old, down at the end of a road or out. I've always lived out in the country.

[Amy]

I would probably prefer to live a little bit far further removed from like, two streets over. But yeah, when I was living downtown.

[Dale Jr.]

When I was living in the thick of Kannapolis, I was too young to remember it, you know, So I don't know what it's like to like, live in a true neighborhood where everybody's on half an acre.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

You know, to stay on this topic longer than we should. I just.

[Amy]

A dragon.

[Dale Jr.]

I get. I get notifications of old rustic farmhouse in Spain or, you know, and it's. And they're out in the middle of nowhere. And it's neat, it's great spot. I mean, it's a pretty house, a little tiny swimming pool. And you're like, could I live there? You know, you really start running through your mind about like. Like, what would it. What would it take? Why wouldn't I. Why. What's holding me back? You know, and the government, Right.

[Amy]

Does not want you coming.

[Dale Jr.]

No. You're just like, who buys these things? Who does buy these? And. And. And you know, because I'm like, there was the guy. There was this guy that got real popular over this summer. Over the summer. He. He's like a regular dude. Worked a job, got a little. Went to the doctor and got a little, you know, had a little scare medically and decided I'm not living the way I want to live and sold everything and bought a boat and sailed to Hawaii. Yeah. You remember him?

[Alex]

Yeah. River Phoenix or not River Phoenix.

[Dale Jr.]

Nope.

[Amy]

That wasn't in my algorithm.

[Alex]

Some Phoenix or whatever. Yeah, his name.

[Dale Jr.]

Sailing with Phoenix. Yeah. So he's like him and his cat or something.

[Amy]

And a cat on a boat.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah. Dude. And he had. He's like. You know, he sailed some. He sailed some very simple waters for a little while to learn the boat before he took off, you know, But, I mean, he very. He was very much a novice, and he's out on this thing by himself with his little. I suppose he had some Elon Musk Internet, and he was, you know, every day sending in a video of, hey, this is what's going on today. This is what I'm doing. I don't know what. I don't know what I'm doing, but I'm doing it. You know, that was basically the vibe of, I don't. I've never done this before. I've never fixed this before. I don't know why this is broken. But. Or. Or. Today was an easy day, you know? And. And so since I started watching him, I get all these other. Hey, we just bought a catamaran. It was in a hurricane. It's. It's damaged. It was flipped upside down, and we're fixing it. And I'm, you know, something like, damn it. I'm kind of like, get drawn into all these.

[Amy]

Don't buy.

[Dale Jr.]

No, no, no. And I'm thinking in my mind, I'm like, I don't want to fix a boat, honey. But I'm thinking in my mind, I'm like, we already did that, man. I know, but I'm thinking. I'm thinking in my mind, like, are we going to get down to the end of this. Of our lives and go, hey, why didn't we buy a house somewhere in the middle of some country in the. You know, and just as a. You know, just go. Go hang, you know, and, like, we're locked into this. You know, we're locked into this place we live at and going to these schools, and we're, like, tethered to, like, you know, tethered to what we're doing, right? Tethered to everything. And there's these people out there that you. You're watching. They're like, I'm untethered, Joe. I'm gonna go do this.

[Amy]

You're not wired to be so free. We're not mentally wired. I know free birds.

[Dale Jr.]

Like, that ship is probably sailed, no pun intended. But I think I missed.

[Amy]

You know, I don't think I could spend my life with you on a boat with nobody else to talk to. Yeah, I don't mean that rudely. Like, I don't think that you would. You wouldn't thrive like that either.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy]

And after the kids get out of High school. If you want to buy a chateau in Spain, and I see Spanish, let's do that.

[Dale Jr.]

These people that are just like, you know, it's a guy and his new girlfriend or his new fiance, and they're like, yeah, we just. We're just gonna build this. Fix this boat. And that's what we're doing. We just sold our old boat. We got a new boat. We're staying with some friends over here. And it's like, man, that, you know, that sounds great.

[Amy]

In their twenties.

[Dale Jr.]

Yes. Or thirty. Makes a lot of sense, but it sounds really nice. You know, they're just kind of like, yeah, we're just on this island somewhere in the Caribbean. Just being.

[Amy]

Just doing Caribbean. Just being.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah. I'm like, man, damn it.

[Amy]

Yeah. You were racing.

[Dale Jr.]

I missed that opportunity, I guess, in my 20s and 30s.

[Amy]

Yep.

[Dale Jr.]

Of course, I was tethered to a lot of things then, too, but with racing and such, life is good. You see those and you're like, this meant to make. Am I supposed to be jealous because I'm feeling jealous?

[Amy]

Yes. That's what the Internet all. All the Internet does that. Everybody's posting like, they're good moments. Nobody's posting the ones I know.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Where's the video when they got stuck?

[Dale Jr.]

There's the common sense.

[Amy]

You know what I mean? Like, when all the was full. You know what I mean? And they're in the middle of the ocean, like, what are you. What are you doing? When it's really. They're not posting that stuff.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah, true.

[Amy]

You know?

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy]

I don't think that it's worth ridiculous.

[Dale Jr.]

I don't know. I guess I just should enjoy just watching someone else do it.

[Amy]

He doesn't know how to do that.

[Alex]

Watch someone else live my dream.

[Amy]

Hey, Alex, speaking of young girls, you have a new girlfriend.

[Alex]

I do.

[Dale Jr.]

Here we go. Talk about it.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

Dalton's like, whoa, wait, is this allowed sales?

[Amy]

Like, daydreaming over here about being young again and having a new girlfriend where you can go sailing.

[Dale Jr.]

I did not say I wanted a new girlfriend. Wait a minute. Don't get that going.

[Amy]

Let's just talk about your girlfriend.

[Dale Jr.]

Okay.

[Amy]

Okay. So you've got. Is she's girlfriend now.

[Alex]

She's girlfriend.

[Dale Jr.]

Yes.

[Amy]

Okay. How long have you been dating and how did you meet her?

[Alex]

We've been probably dating for, like, three months now.

[Amy]

He's twitching like, I can see his.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah. Bouncing up and down. How comfortable are you? How comfortable are you discussing this? On a scale of one to a thousand, what number. I know I don't want to, no.

[Amy]

How are you going to dial that Choice?

[Alex]

I'm like 990.

[Dale Jr.]

Oh, you're way up there.

[Alex]

I'm comfortable with it.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah. All right.

[Alex]

We met on a boat.

[Dale Jr.]

Like, you've been on a boat.

[Amy]

Well, I didn't see that irony coming.

[Dale Jr.]

Okay, we boat. We boat. We've been on a boat. Yeah.

[Alex]

Went on a boat. It was like mutual friends. They just random her and her friend randomly.

[Dale Jr.]

Oh, that's how you met her? Yeah.

[Alex]

So I, like, my friend had a boat. He invited me. He invited his friend. I didn't know her friend. She was the friend visiting in town. She's not from here.

[Dale Jr.]

Where's she from?

[Alex]

She's from Pennsylvania.

[Amy]

You met her here, though.

[Alex]

Met her here.

[Dale Jr.]

So you're dating long term?

[Alex]

Long distance?

[Dale Jr.]

Long distance.

[Amy]

Long term.

[Dale Jr.]

You're long term dating? Your. Your distance dating?

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

That's tough.

[Alex]

Which. It's tough, but it's actually kind of nice. I mean, I'm busy. She's busy.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Alex]

She has her own business, so it's like.

[Amy]

Are you all about the same age?

[Alex]

Yeah, she's a year or two older than me, but yeah.

[Amy]

Oh, yeah. So, okay, so she's, like, working, doing the whole thing up in Pennsylvania.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Alex]

And yeah, she's. She just moved to New Jersey. It's kind of close to my family, too, so I can go visit them.

[Amy]

Have they met?

[Alex]

No. I'm going up next week and they're going to meet her.

[Amy]

Really?

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Dude, that's a big step.

[Dale Jr.]

Big step.

[Alex]

I haven't brought a girl home to my parents in maybe 10 years.

[Amy]

Does your mom know she's coming, or is this a surprise?

[Alex]

Yes, they know.

[Amy]

Is she excited?

[Alex]

Yeah, they're very excited. Actually, they told me this year I have to bring a girl home for Thanksgiving. Or. This is, like, getting pathetic.

[Amy]

Or you're out.

[Alex]

This is getting pathetic.

[Amy]

Like, you don't come back with a plus one. Yeah, you're in trouble.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Well, that's cute.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Alex]

So I'm excited.

[Amy]

I can't wait to see how that goes.

[Alex]

Oh, thank you. Yeah, she's good.

[Amy]

She's really pretty. I saw her on your Instagram.

[Alex]

Thank you.

[Amy]

So dating long distance for you is not that big of a deal.

[Alex]

Not right now. But, I mean, you guys started long distance, too.

[Amy]

We did, but we didn't have smartphones. Like, this is back when we were doing AOL instant Messenger and, like, you had to catch them. You know what I mean?

[Alex]

So way harder.

[Amy]

Way harder.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Alex]

Like, we've just Started to get into, like, maybe we, you know, call every night for, you know, an hour or two and.

[Amy]

So you have a routine.

[Alex]

Yeah, something like that. Yeah. Which I. It'll eventually get harder, but for right now, it's been all right.

[Amy]

Yeah. Do you say I love you yet?

[Alex]

No, did not say that yet.

[Amy]

He laughs, he's like, amy. All right, cut.

[Alex]

No, but you have any advice?

[Dale Jr.]

What are you doing? Make it funny.

[Amy]

Good Lord.

[Alex]

You have any advice for me?

[Amy]

Just go. Just. No. No advice. I feel like people that give advice on relationships, especially when they don't know the other person, they're just looking to try to stir up. I think you're doing fine.

[Dale Jr.]

All right.

[Amy]

Just be nice to her. That's all.

[Alex]

I think I am.

[Amy]

Yeah. Always be honest. Be nice. And I would take her mother a gift.

[Dale Jr.]

Jerky.

[Alex]

Okay. That's good advice.

[Amy]

Not jerky. Take that to dad. But something nice. Don't show up empty handed.

[Alex]

That's a good. That's actually good advice.

[Dale Jr.]

I think that the long distance thing is not a problem at all. Some people get nervous about that. Some people think. Well, some people may preemptively, like, not follow through or see it out a little while, you know, because they're anxious about how that could present a problem down the road. And so they're like, sort of like a defense mechanism.

[Amy]

Yeah. I mean, if you're not grounded and you don't have, like, if you get insecure about things, it could be hard.

[Dale Jr.]

What you'll learn from yourself and the other person as well to. To go through with it is probably a good. Good experience. Yeah.

[Amy]

Wait, we didn't talk about bad bunny. What's the bad bunny thing?

[Alex]

All right, so how would you say bad bunny?

[Amy]

I say bad bunny. I've heard him called the bunny.

[Dale Jr.]

The bunny.

[Amy]

Bad bunny.

[Alex]

Bad bunny.

[Amy]

Like, bad bunny.

[Alex]

Don't say the bees. There's no. You can't pronounce the bees. That's how you really say it.

[Amy]

Like, what?

[Dale Jr.]

Are you serious?

[Alex]

No, that's how it is.

[Amy]

Do it again.

[Alex]

Stop it. I swear he's Puerto Rican.

[Dale Jr.]

I ain't doing it. Come on. Sorry. There you go. What? Is that real?

[Alex]

He's Puerto Rican. So he's Spanish. So you don't. You don't like, pronounce the bees?

[Amy]

Oh, I like emphasize the bees.

[Alex]

Yeah, yeah.

[Amy]

That's funny.

[Dale Jr.]

What is this question? What's something you were scared of as a kid? That's ridiculous now that you're older.

[Alex]

Oh, yeah, I have one. My dad was allergic to cats, so he would told me because I wanted a cat when I was younger. He would be like, they'll rip your face off, so don't. They can't have a cat. And now looking back, that's the most ridiculous thing ever. Everybody had cats and I didn't even think twice. I'm like, no, they must love getting their face ripped off or something. And like they must cage it up.

[Amy]

The cats are the devil. They'll probably eat your face alive while you're sleeping.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Alex]

Just because he was allergic.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

I have one that kind of could fit in this box. So my mom let. My mom. I remember watching a scary movie when I lived with my mom. So I had to been six or younger. Probably younger than six. And that's the way mom was like, you know, go ahead four year old me, sit down. Let's watch some Friday the 13th.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah. And I'm like. And I'm watching this movie and I'll never forget the plot of the movie. These kids are the. In one particular segment, these kids are riding in the school bus and they drive into a fog and their fingernails turn colors and they turn into zombies. They killed people in the town. And I thought, man, I wonder what the name of that. I mean, so I've that imprinted on me. I never forgot. It must have scared out of me. When I was little. I went and looked for this movie recently, like a couple years back, I finally found this movie and it is a absolute like total like low budget. Never. You'd never know the name of it. I don't even know the name of it now. But I looked it up and it's not. It's called the Children. Yes. And people. It is. I don't even know if you can even watch it anywhere. Is it even like some. Is it even uploaded?

[Amy]

There's so many good old movies now that you can find.

[Dale Jr.]

It ain't good old. It ain't good at all. It's not good, is it? Man, we have to sit down and watch that movie.

[Amy]

It.

[Dale Jr.]

It would probably be terrible, terrible, terrible.

[Amy]

A lot of those are like, they were cheesy but. But the gruesome part was, was scary.

[Dale Jr.]

I was. I don't know that it was gruesome. I don't remember it being gruesome, like blood and gore. But it was just like, you know.

[Amy]

So the kids like don't eat your cats.

[Dale Jr.]

No, no, I don't think they were doing that. But I really can't remember anything else but my, my mom letting us watch a scary movie. Like that I think about our girls now and like. Oh yeah, never.

[Amy]

I watched scary movies like that too when I was a little.

[Dale Jr.]

I know. Like when the Children of the Corn.

[Amy]

And we had cornfields everywhere around town.

[Dale Jr.]

And when is the. When is that gonna. That's gonna eventually happen someday somewhere. We're gonna. You're gonna sit down. They're gonna watch a scary movie, whether it's with us or with some friends or whatever. And that's going to be an interesting experience for us.

[Amy]

I think Isla's not as affected by that stuff as Nicole is. Like, Isla chasing Nicole around the house will actually scare Nicole, even though she's antagonizing her and knows it's about to happen. And she knows Sila chasing her. She starts to scream like she's truly terrified. Isla like thinks it's hilarious.

[Dale Jr.]

Isla doesn't like to have anything coming after her or Nicole.

[Amy]

Nicole doesn't, but Isla doesn't care.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah, but that movie, you know, that would be. That maybe would be one like, you know, four year old me was probably scared to death and didn't sleep for three weeks. And now when I go back and look at that movie, I'm like, what a movie, right? Like, you're not even good.

[Amy]

I remember thinking that about the leprechaun.

[Dale Jr.]

What's the Rotten Tomatoes?

[Amy]

Did you watch the movie the Leprechaun? Yeah, it was Jennifer Aniston's like breakout.

[Dale Jr.]

Role, but it ain't even on Rotten Tomatoes.

[Amy]

What?

[Dale Jr.]

The children.

[Alex]

The children?

[Amy]

I don't know. Might be.

[Alex]

They got 5.4 stars on Google.

[Dale Jr.]

Out of how many?

[Alex]

10?

[Amy]

Oh, it's a.

[Dale Jr.]

Is 76 rotten? Is that good?

[Amy]

No. Is it?

[Dale Jr.]

That's really bad. No, that's not crap. Maybe I need to watch it.

[Alex]

Maybe it's better.

[Dale Jr.]

Children. I'll never forget it, man. That was like the first movie I ever remember seeing with my. And my mom let us watch it. Mom was, you know, mom was pretty.

[Amy]

Well, she was young. You know what I mean?

[Dale Jr.]

I'm not saying she was flawed.

[Amy]

No, no.

[Dale Jr.]

I'm saying we need an excuse for her.

[Amy]

We. Like she grew up with her like I grew up with my parents, but they were young so like they didn't make the choices that we would do now.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah. I rode in the back of her car. Zero seat belt.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

No Booster rolling around, eating all kinds of chocolate and candy all the time and going up to the grocery store and the corner store. Like walking six blocks to a convenience store with Kelly by ourselves at five years old. Five.

[Amy]

Yeah. It's crazy.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Alex]

Yes. Yes. I have the first letter that you guys have gotten.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Alex]

That you need to fix. All right, first one. This is Dear Amy and Dale, I'm a buffoon. I keep forgetting my wedding anniversary year after year. I've been married for five years and have always celebrated the day too early or too late. We got married on June 23, which is such a random day and hard to remember. I suggested we Change it to June 1st or July 1st for celebration reasons. It's easy to remember and no one will be disappointed. I've been sleeping on the couch for a week since I said this. How do I fix this?

[Amy]

Lord mercy. Yes, you are a buffoon.

[Dale Jr.]

Put a damn alert in your phone.

[Amy]

I mean, it's pretty easy. Yes. Put a calendar alert in your phone.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Put it on Your screensaver on your phone. I don't know, like here's my anniversary till your mind just memorizes the number.

[Dale Jr.]

I have all those dates in my calendar. Like I asked Amy to marry me on this date. Me and you know, whatever.

[Amy]

Which we don't celebrate all this stuff forget. Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

But it's also nice to have it there in case I wanted to say on that day, hey, today's a big day, honey. Guess you know we did this and you might go, oh great.

[Amy]

Take the trash out.

[Dale Jr.]

It's cool that he thought that's cool that he thinks of that. Yeah, I'm glad that he even. That even matters, you know?

[Alex]

How does he go to his wife now and be like, hey, does he say I'm gonna start writing this stuff?

[Amy]

What he should say is, you are right, I am a buffoon. I shouldn't have suggested that. How dare I want to change our anniversary just so I can remember it. Like, you're right. I'm gonna do something to try to help myself remember. And here's a really nice present for forgetting the last five years.

[Dale Jr.]

You get it tattooed if you want on your.

[Amy]

Oh, I hear that's like a curse. It's like getting a ring tattooed on your fingers that you don't have to wear your wedding ring. I don't know, it's got bad energy.

[Alex]

Really?

[Amy]

Okay, but there's so many things you could do to help yourself remember.

[Alex]

Yeah, I agree.

[Dale Jr.]

You could get one of. I got these cheap wedding rings and you could probably get one with the date on it.

[Alex]

That's true. You just get engraved.

[Dale Jr.]

It's on. You know, you just get it printed on there a little cheap wedding ring.

[Alex]

Yeah, this seems like a lazy. Just doesn't want to learn what he.

[Amy]

Feel bad for this chick.

[Alex]

Yeah, five years hasn't figured it out.

[Amy]

I mean but she should have known better, I guess, right?

[Alex]

Yeah, I agree.

[Amy]

Let him sleep on the couch as long as you want.

[Dale Jr.]

What's this guy's name?

[Alex]

Anonymous.

[Dale Jr.]

No, no, no, no. Let's give him a name. What would his it's got. It sounds like a Derek. Derek.

[Alex]

Okay, I was gonna say Steven.

[Amy]

I was gonna say like I don't know, Stephen.

[Dale Jr.]

Stephen. Sounds like he'd be more put together. This is definitely a Derek. Could be a Chad. Definitely a Chad on the couch.

[Alex]

All right, Chad. Hope that helps. Get off the couch. Alright, the next one. Amy. My husband also makes a lot of noise when he comes to bed, so I've instituted a curfew on the latest he can come to bed. Otherwise he sleeps on the couch or in the guest bedroom. Well, that's backfired because now all he does is sleep on the couch or in the guest bedroom. And he's been in the best mood the past few weeks since I've implemented the curfew. How do I fix the problem I created?

[Amy]

I don't know. That's a toughie. So I can't stand it when Dale sleeps on the couch. He did it on Saturday.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy]

I haven't talked to him since. Today's the first day I talked to him.

[Dale Jr.]

I smell like beer. So that's why I did that. That stuff.

[Amy]

Still annoying.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy]

I wake up at 4:30 and I'm like, he's not in the bed. Where is he? And I know he hasn't left. Like I know he's not gone, but I don't like that he didn't come to bed.

[Alex]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Because I'm still waking up anyway. Like, where is he? Where is he? You know what I mean?

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah. I drank beer all day and I was like, probably shouldn't go to the bedroom and. Because you know it's coming out of my nose. Every pore smell like beer. Yeah. I didn't. I thought it would be more annoying if I laid in the bed with her than to just crash on the couch.

[Amy]

I don't think there's a whole lot of thought there, honestly. I think he just crashed on the couch because he had been drinking beer all day. But either way, I don't like it when he didn't come to bed. So I understand. Now she's like, well, now he's on the couch and having time of his life.

[Alex]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Here's what I'm gonna say. Giving a man or anybody that you like a list of rules as their spouse or like a friend is not a good idea.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Like there needs to be a discussion about it. Like a friendly discussion. Like, hey, here, here's what I hear. Expectations, here's what I'd prefer. But because there needs to be like a meeting of the minds instead of somebody laying down the law. Like, that's not gonna work. I wouldn't want to be told what to do. He ain't gonna be wanna told what to do. Just doesn't work. Somebody's like resenting the other person. You know what I mean?

[Dale Jr.]

I'd agree with that.

[Amy]

I don't know. Now that he's on the couch, I would.

[Dale Jr.]

So Amy came to me and said Saturday night aside, Amy came to me and said, I don't like it when you sleep on the couch. And I'm like, okay, here's the reasons why I do that. And she goes, that don't bother me. Come on up to bed.

[Amy]

It hurts my feelings.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy]

And so somebody's not sleeping on the couch unless somebody else is mad at the other person. And so it doesn't make me feel good.

[Dale Jr.]

And two, like, similarly, you know, I'd brush my teeth downstairs because I didn't want to be brushing them next to the bedroom and waking her up as I'm coming to bed. That doesn't bother me. Brush your teeth upstairs. I'm like, okay. So I mean, like, to Amy's point, like, having the conversation with him and saying, hey, I'd rather you not sleep on the couch. Can you please come to bed? Even if it's late, Just come on up and letting him know that even if it's late, it's still okay to come on up to bed. I'd rather you do that even if you did wake me up, than to sleep alone. Than for them to sleep alone.

[Alex]

Yeah, right.

[Amy]

We're not married to be sleeping alone. What the hell is going on here?

[Dale Jr.]

So I think if you had Tammy's point, if you had that conversation, and he'll. He'll understand. He'll. He just wants the clearance. Right. He's doing what he thinks he should be doing to try to not bother. He just needs the clearance that it's good to come to bed. Not going to be a big deal. I'm not going to be mad. You're up late, all that stuff.

[Amy]

Honestly, at this point, it seems like this guy's sleeping on the couch just to make her mad because she gave him rules. I feel like the whole situation is.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Like, it's like tit for tat now.

[Alex]

But he knows it's working, too.

[Amy]

Yeah. Sounds like a water balloon fight. Or gun. A water gun fight might be in order. Like, shoot him with a water gun. See if he likes the couch.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah, that's a good one.

[Alex]

Or freeze the downstairs so he's like, cold.

[Amy]

Ice him out.

[Dale Jr.]

Yep.

[Alex]

Do something.

[Amy]

And hide all the blankets.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah. Oh, my God. This next one's insane. There's no way this next one's real. There's no way.

[Alex]

Anonymous listener. All right, next one. Dear Amy and Dale, I have identical twin daughters. They just turned four, and they look so alike that I've lost track of who's who. My wife says it's easy to tell. One has a different smile, but I don't see it. They look the same. I already feel like a horrible dad, so I started make marking one with a different color hair, tie, or bracelet so I could tell my wife found out I was doing this, and she's beyond mad. I can deal with the wife later. How do I fix knowing who's who?

[Amy]

Good Lord.

[Alex]

I know. I kind of understand where he's coming from, though.

[Amy]

I mean, they're four, so they are pretty. Like, their personalities haven't even really totally come out yet.

[Alex]

That's what I'm saying.

[Dale Jr.]

I think it should get easier. Is that your point?

[Alex]

So wait it out.

[Amy]

I feel like the hair tie thing is pretty clever, Right? I mean, I also understand his wife being annoyed that he can't tell them apart, but it sounds like he's spending enough time with them to do their hair. I don't know. Usually, like, if you can't tell your kids apart, it's because you're not really hanging out with them very often. Like. Yeah, but it sounds like he is.

[Alex]

My fear is he's gotten too far down the road of not knowing that he just doesn't know which ones. He doesn't have a baseline yet.

[Dale Jr.]

They're never gonna know. Yeah.

[Amy]

I don't know. This could work in. This can work in favor for the girls.

[Dale Jr.]

They're gonna know. They're never gonna know.

[Amy]

They're gonna know.

[Dale Jr.]

They're gonna know.

[Amy]

They're gonna know. I feel like the girls are gonna get older and use that to their advantage to trick their parents, especially him. Shoot.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy]

I don't know. This is such a bad thing for them.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Alex]

I knew twins in high school that they went to each other's classes.

[Dale Jr.]

It was a movie, like, a bunch. Yeah.

[Alex]

And parent rap never got fooled.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Alex]

Parent Trap's another one.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy]

I don't know. That's weird. But listen, I've never seen two identical twins that were so alike that they couldn't be told apart. Even like, friends. Kids. This poor guy just isn't paying enough attention.

[Alex]

Yeah, I. I think there's something too. Like, their personality needs to develop a little bit, which will happen soon. And then you'll.

[Dale Jr.]

It'll get easier.

[Alex]

It will.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Alex]

I agree.

[Dale Jr.]

They're in this sort of weird phase right now where they probably are as similar as they'll ever be.

[Amy]

I mean, pay attention to what they like to eat. Unless surely there's not. They don't do everything exactly the same besides their smile. Like, they're walking around smiling all day either. Right.

[Dale Jr.]

I know it probably wouldn't have been awesome in the first couple of years. But man, wouldn't twins be something of an experience? Yeah, that'd be five, seven, ten year old twins. Wouldn't that be an experience shoe?

[Amy]

I thought for sure there was going to be something else to that.

[Dale Jr.]

I just think it. I don't know, I don't want to say it'd be neat. I just think, you know, as a parent, knowing what I know about parenting, what limited things I do know about parenting, man, having twins all in the house, two similar looking people, that would be an experience.

[Amy]

So fraternal. I don't know if it's the same for fraternal twins and identical twins, but like, their personalities are usually kind of different. Like Isla goes to dance with a set of twins that she had in her preschool.

[Dale Jr.]

This guy's point. Like, some are like ridiculously the same.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

So say so. So similar. It's eerie.

[Amy]

Yeah, I've never, I've not been around twins like that. You know, every, every set of twins I've ever been around, I even grew up with two identical twins down the street. They had personality difference that were obvious.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy]

You know, so I don't know. Hopefully it does get easier for this guy.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah. Good luck. Well, the fixing segment was brought to you by Hellmans. We've got. We gotta shout out a real MVP in the kitchen and in life. That's Hellman's mayonnaise. For over 100 years, Hellman's has been bringing real high quality ingredients to the table, making it a true staple when things need fixing.

[Amy]

That's right. Whether you're smoothing things over with a buffalo chicken dip on a game day or buttering up your in laws with the best potato salad they've ever had, Hellman's delivers every time. With that creamy texture and rich, balanced flavor, it just works.

[Dale Jr.]

And if you need some inspiration, maybe you're cooking an apology dinner or trying to impress your way out of the doghouse. Hellmanns.com has tons of recipes to help you recover deliciously.

[Amy]

So next time you're at the store, grab a jar of Hellman's. Because when life gets messy, Hellman's is the fixin that makes it all better. Hi, guys. Dale Jr. And I are in the studio for another round of Bless yous Heart and we are ready for your questions for Ask Amy what you got.

[Alex]

All right, Erica, first question. She wants to know, they just announced this year's super bowl halftime performer and it made me want to know, what was your favorite super bowl halftime performance of all time and who Would you want to see.

[Dale Jr.]

Perform.

[Amy]

It's Bad Bunny.

[Alex]

It's Bad Bunny.

[Amy]

Say it. We just learned today that we're saying Bad Bunny wrong. Because we are.

[Dale Jr.]

I didn't know how to say it to begin with.

[Amy]

He still won't try either. My favorite performance was Prince was pretty.

[Dale Jr.]

Good a couple years back. Yeah.

[Amy]

I really liked Beyonce.

[Alex]

Yeah, that was a good one.

[Amy]

I also really liked the Aerosmith. Britney Spears. Was it Justin Timberlake then, too?

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah. Janet Jackson. Was that that year?

[Amy]

I don't think that was the same year. That was just JT and Janet. When the titty happened.

[Dale Jr.]

The delay.

[Amy]

Yeah. 2004, I think mine was Aerosmith, Britney thing. That was really fun.

[Dale Jr.]

The.

[Alex]

The one made in LA with, like, Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre. That one was pretty cool, too. All the star power there.

[Dale Jr.]

Would.

[Alex]

Would you guys listen to Bad Bunny or.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

I don't know. Kendrick. Last year, right? Okay.

[Amy]

Last year. Yes.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah, that was pretty good.

[Amy]

His genes are what we noticed more than anything.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah. And one of the Williams sisters.

[Alex]

It was Serena, I think.

[Dale Jr.]

Serena. Yeah. And there's. There's, like, a storyline to that that was pretty interesting. The. Which I didn't know none of nothing about it, you know? You like. Yeah. Until that happened. Then you're like, oh, okay. Yeah. There's like, a little hidden message and everything. Yeah. The. I don't know who I would want to play because I. I don't know, man. It's like, I gotta get up and move around and what? Like, I don't.

[Amy]

You don't have to do anything. You just have to sit.

[Dale Jr.]

No, I gotta go get the. You know, get. I don't know.

[Alex]

It's like the break from the game.

[Dale Jr.]

He's saying, I know I don't plug in.

[Alex]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

To the. I don't plug into the halftime show. Like, I think some people, like, that's a big moment for the show.

[Amy]

Yeah. So a lot of people aren't caring about football. They just want to watch.

[Dale Jr.]

I know. I'm the football. I'm caring about the football. And when the football's not happening, that's when I'm like, all right, time to go.

[Amy]

For me, it just depends on the teams that are playing. Like, if there's good teams or teams that I'm interested in, I'll watch the whole thing.

[Dale Jr.]

I used to not get up during the commercials and be like, man, gotta. Gotta see every. Commercials are good. Yeah. They're gonna grade the commercials, and we're gonna read about them in the USA Today tomorrow. And who got the best rating and, like, who failed who. Who. Whose commercial sucked and whose was great. And, you know, it was very, very competitive.

[Amy]

Yeah. I always remember wanting to see the Clydesdales and whatever Budweiser commercial was happening.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah, yeah. I think Budweiser. They used to do the Bud bowl with Bud Light and the Budweiser bottles. And, man, I was a young. I guess I was a kid. That was amazing. I was as excited to see which. Which side was going to win the Bud bowl as the game itself. Like, I couldn't wait for the next little Bud bowl to learn if the. Who scored right and what had happened.

[Amy]

Do you remember the Budweiser frogs?

[Dale Jr.]

Yes. Oh, yeah. Budweiser there for a while was absolutely killing it.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

And every year they. They would unveil, like, the Budweiser frogs and that would be the. That would be the commercial of the year. And remember those. Those dudes answer the phone? It was, you know.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

Doing all that. I mean, that. Everybody was doing that.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

All of us were doing that.

[Amy]

Yeah. You know, me and my sisters were the Budweiser. We would do the Budweiser frog thing in the house.

[Dale Jr.]

Commercials, like, having that much of an impact.

[Amy]

Yeah. You know, I feel like those were more fun than the halftime show typically, anyway.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I can't think of who I would probably like.

[Amy]

I want to see a country artists. I know that's, like, never going to happen. I would like to see, like, the Red Clay Strays.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Like, something like, let's mix it up.

[Dale Jr.]

I think, you know, a bunch of different bands. So, like, red. Red Clay Strays comes out and plays a song. Right. Blink 182 comes out and plays a song. You know, get. You know, and you could have mash it up, though.

[Amy]

Like, I want to layer it where it, like, blends one into the next one.

[Dale Jr.]

I think you, you know, you have like three or four different stages all out there at once, and they just kind of like, spotlight, bam, bam. Over.

[Amy]

Yeah, yeah. Everybody's happy.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Alex]

I think that getting the up and coming artists is a great move because I know the NFL.

[Dale Jr.]

They.

[Alex]

It's used as more. They don't make money off this. The artist they've used as, like, exposure. So it probably should try to attack the middle, I'm sure.

[Dale Jr.]

I imagine, you know, there's probably some money on the back end of, like, the ownership money. Well, the performer coming in. It could be some. There could be some record label money coming in just to purchase the halftime show for that person to come play. But that wouldn't make sense because, like, you know, Prince playing it probably. They just called. Prince said, please, will you play this? You know, So I heard Taylor Swift.

[Amy]

Turned it down because she wasn't going to have ownership rights to her performance. So there is some type of ownership back in. Something that interesting.

[Alex]

Yeah, it is interesting. Next question from Dave. What are some things that you could only get in Texas, Amy, that you miss from time to time?

[Amy]

Well, I would say Whataburger, but I'm about to get that in Mooresville.

[Alex]

I know.

[Amy]

Honestly, the barbecue.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy]

There's so much different there. There are some places that do brisket around here, but the barbecue back home is just next level.

[Dale Jr.]

I need to cook you a brisket. I haven't done that.

[Amy]

Yeah, get the smoker out. Yeah, that'd be good. Throw a couple of chickens on there.

[Dale Jr.]

I've been, but feeling it might do it. Perfect. Perfect weather.

[Amy]

It is perfect weather. I miss Mexican food, too.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Alex]

It's different down there.

[Amy]

Tex Mex is just so good.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy]

And, I mean, I grew up eating breakfast tacos regularly, and I miss that. Like, homemade tortillas just full of stuff.

[Alex]

I can't even picture that.

[Amy]

It's delicious.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy]

So I probably miss that more than anything, the food.

[Alex]

Okay, interesting. Next one from Danielle. With it officially being fall. What is your favorite comfort food?

[Amy]

Soup. I like to soup. I like putting a pot of soup on, like, just clean out the fridge kind of thing. There's a few recipes that Dale and I both really like. I don't know. I'm in that weird phase of life with the kids being at their ages. Like, they're not eating what we're eating. So, like, if I cook soup and Dale and I don't want to eat it for four days straight, you know what I mean? That's kind of hard. I have to stick it in the freezer. So Dale's, like, not getting much homemade food these days, but I like to cook soups when it's cool outside.

[Dale Jr.]

Soups. Okay.

[Alex]

Dale, you have a favorite comfort food?

[Dale Jr.]

I really. I don't think so. Do I? I don't think so.

[Amy]

Comfort food.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy]

No, he'll eat whatever.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Pickles and beef jerky.

[Dale Jr.]

Beef jerky.

[Alex]

I would go get, like, candy, like Sour Patch Kids or something.

[Amy]

Really?

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Alex]

Just like a watch and teeth jerky. That's a good. That's a good comfort food. I feel like jerky snack food, but.

[Amy]

Like, for this time of year.

[Dale Jr.]

Screen. There we are. See this here?

[Amy]

You weren't saying right now you're saying anytime, Anytime. Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

Oh, beef jerky. And you can get [e-mail] or on Amazon. Now we're on Amazon, too. That's.

[Alex]

That's good.

[Dale Jr.]

Come and get it.

[Alex]

I will say for the fall, like sweets, like pie brownies.

[Amy]

I feel like that's baked goods.

[Alex]

I like them more in the fall.

[Amy]

I do, too.

[Dale Jr.]

When it's okay. Sushi. If I open up the fridge and I see an ice cream bucket, I open it. And if there's, like. If there's like a little bit left in the bottom, it's like, my obligation to finish it.

[Amy]

So the reason there's only a little bit left in the bottom anyway is because he's eaten all the other sections.

[Dale Jr.]

Because I've been eating on it for two weeks. But if I see just a little bit left, I'm like, I should just finish this. Get this. This is taking up too much space in here. Yeah. And relieve some space in the freezer. And that's a good thing, right?

[Alex]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Alex]

That's a job well done.

[Dale Jr.]

That's right.

[Alex]

Next question from Calvin. How early is too early to carve pumpkins? My girlfriend wants to do it now, but I think we should wait till Halloween week so they can be on the porch for trick or treaters.

[Amy]

Yeah. So that's a good question. We like to carve them early, too, just for the activity. But they brought so fast. Like, you're gonna. You're gonna be carving them again the week of Halloween. Our front porch, too, is, like, in the sun. So that's probably part of that problem. But yeah, I can. I would get the pumpkins and leave the pumpkins out and then carve them the week of Halloween like you suggest, because they will rot.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Alex]

Going to get the pumpkins is probably the most irritating thing, so you might as well just do that now because they're heavy. Well, as a guy, I don't want to go to a pumpkin patch with little, little snotty kids just because my girlfriend wants this. And to be honest, not to be honest, but yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

It's been a rough second half of the show.

[Amy]

Nephews and nephews. You have.

[Dale Jr.]

It's been a rough second half of the show for Tiffany here.

[Alex]

Oh, I think she'd be on board. There's a bar that needs to be drank at, and we need to get to that bar.

[Amy]

Oh, so you're gonna go to the farmer's market where they have cider over here, and she gets to do the pumpkins, and you'll Be over here. Except for when she needs help carrying them to the car.

[Alex]

Yeah, I'll be a gentleman. I'll carry it. I'll get the wagon.

[Amy]

But I'll get the wagon.

[Alex]

Yeah, I mean, I want to carve the pumpkin later.

[Amy]

So this is a good parlay question. Travis told me the other day that he thinks hikes are stupid and that no man on the planet wants to go on a hike. And I said, well, you as a species then are uninvited. And so I want to ask you if she wants to take you hiking. We've gone on little hikes, but I've taken the girls more than I'd taken Dale along just because he's busy. Is it because you're doing it for me?

[Dale Jr.]

What, me?

[Amy]

Like, if you go on a hike.

[Dale Jr.]

No, I need to burn some calories, drop some lbs.

[Amy]

You're doing it strictly for exercise activity. So, like, do you think hikes are stupid like Travis says?

[Alex]

I would do the same thing. I don't think I've ever gone on a hike that I didn't bring a beer to celebrate the top with. That's what I normally do.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah, we need to get Travis.

[Amy]

You can get a camelback and put beer in it.

[Dale Jr.]

No, no, no. I just saw this on the Internet. We need to get Travis. They have these things they make in either Japan, China, or somewhere. I saw it.

[Amy]

Where everything's made.

[Dale Jr.]

No, no, no. They have these things where you. It's a. You strap it around your waist, and you strap it around your knees, and it actually walks for you. And it. Yeah, it's like a. It's like, AI kind of learning your. Yeah. And the guys. This guy, he's like, hey, I'm. They have these things, like, help you walk, run, hike, whatever. I'm gonna go in this store. They said I could try it for free. And he goes in there, and they're like. The guy's like, it's. It's insane. You're not gonna believe when you put it on. He puts it on. He's like. And he's going. He's going across the floor. And he's like, I'm not doing anything. I'm going this way, you know? And he's like. And he goes. And he goes outside and he. He tells the guy. He's like, put it on super strength or whatever. He's like, put it on the highest setting. And the guy's like, okay, but be careful. He's like, be careful. This is. And he's like, can I run he's like, yes, but, like, carefully. And he takes off running down the street, and he's like, holy mackerel. He's, like, running, and this thing's doing it for him.

[Amy]

Does it hurt your muscles?

[Dale Jr.]

I don't think so. He seemed very comfortable.

[Amy]

Does he have a remote in his hand?

[Dale Jr.]

Yes. Buttons on the waist. Waist. It's like a big belt. Then there's these metal arms, and then it straps around your knee. And that. That goes.

[Amy]

You know, it seems so dangerous. It's assisted, really down. What if you hit the wrong button and hit turbo?

[Dale Jr.]

Have you ever. Have you ever. You know, the assisted mowers, like, you.

[Amy]

Know, they still creep me out.

[Dale Jr.]

There's one up here that's similar to what this is. Like, you start the motion. It's kind of like pedaling an electric bike. You start, and all of a sudden it gets easier and it starts helping you. And it. I mean, you're still moving, doing some movements. But that's what we need to get Travis. He'll love hiking.

[Amy]

Travis needs a walking travel set.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah. Travis will be like.

[Amy]

And a camelback.

[Dale Jr.]

Travis will try that and be like, I'm ready for Everest. That's it. That's it.

[Alex]

Next one from Sally. If you had to swap lives with anyone for a day, who would it be? But keep in mind, they get to swap. They get to be you as well.

[Amy]

I want to see what it's like to just, you know, do whatever.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Sleep.

[Dale Jr.]

Do whatever.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

All right.

[Amy]

I don't think that I really, like.

[Dale Jr.]

Once she climbed into my head, she would scream to get out. Let me out of here.

[Amy]

This is.

[Dale Jr.]

This is terrifying.

[Amy]

I might not. I might not be up your ass so much if I knew how scary it was in there. I don't know. I'm scared to, like, say anybody important, which would be a cool vantage point, like, maybe Taylor Swift for a day.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy]

I want to see how the access feels. You know what I mean? Like, truly, like, everything's available.

[Alex]

Yeah.

[Amy]

I don't know. Being the Queen of England would have been cool for a day. Same thing.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Like, put all the jewels on.

[Alex]

All the jewels all at once.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Alex]

I. I would take, like, a bird.

[Amy]

A bird?

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Alex]

Just gonna fly around, see what I do.

[Amy]

What are we doing?

[Alex]

Just want to see what I do.

[Dale Jr.]

You're just a bird.

[Amy]

You said anyone.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah, well, you're picking at things on the ground. Is this food? It's not food.

[Alex]

I would do that. I would just fly all day.

[Dale Jr.]

That's what I see. Birds doing you know what?

[Amy]

I.

[Dale Jr.]

This food. Nope, not food.

[Alex]

You could just. Wherever you want.

[Dale Jr.]

That's food. Okay, well, it's edible. It's not really.

[Amy]

This morning, I let Gus out, and I'm like, oh, there's a dead bird on the. On the porch. Is that a bad omen?

[Alex]

Well, if you swap places.

[Amy]

All right.

[Dale Jr.]

That was Bob. That wasn't me.

[Amy]

Are you a bird of prey at least?

[Alex]

I was just thinking a bird that flies. I wasn't being picky. Might be a seagull, Might be a crow. I don't know.

[Amy]

Oh, my God, man.

[Alex]

Nothing.

[Dale Jr.]

Dale.

[Alex]

He just wants to be Dale.

[Dale Jr.]

I. Me, I would probably want to be. I'd probably want to be something. Somebody that was adventurous. We talked about sailing earlier in the show. Somebody like, an expert at that. I've always been curious of sailing and what. You know, having the confidence to even go do that out, you know, out in the open ocean with the dangers that all that presents. But. Or, yeah. Like climbing Everest. Right. If you were somebody who is an expert at that type of thing, like, to be in their. To live that experience of climbing one of those mountains and the. Yeah.

[Amy]

So you could probably do that if you just train for it.

[Dale Jr.]

That's it.

[Amy]

He can't be a bird who says, yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

I mean, it's doable, but I would want to, like, plop into the body and mind of a person that knew everything already and was like, I'm the expert.

[Amy]

Let's go.

[Alex]

Okay.

[Dale Jr.]

I don't want to go through the process of becoming.

[Amy]

Oh, you're a lazy Everest climber.

[Dale Jr.]

We were asked who we swap lives with. Now I'm a lazy sov.

[Amy]

I said Everest climber. I never said Soviet. Oh, Lord. Okay, next question.

[Alex]

All right, I have one more question for you from Anna. What's the funniest nickname you've ever had as someone's called you?

[Amy]

My dad used to call me Booger.

[Dale Jr.]

Booger.

[Amy]

Do you?

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah, that's coming back.

[Amy]

Yeah, he used to call me Booger. Do you remember why?

[Dale Jr.]

We gotta know. We gotta know.

[Amy]

What was the 80s movie? They call you Booger, and he burped a lot.

[Dale Jr.]

Oh, the revenge. Vengeance of the Nerds.

[Amy]

Was it Revenge of the Nerds? I think so.

[Alex]

Yeah. Revenge of the Nerds, it was.

[Amy]

Yeah. So he was one of his favorite movies. And he laughed like those guys in the Revenge of the Nerds. That. Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy]

That's how my dad laughed watching tv.

[Dale Jr.]

What a great movie series.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

Vengeance of the Nerds. So good. I was Hammerhead. So dad was Iron Head. And they called me Hammerhead. June bug, which still sticks around every now and then. That was from Darrell Walter. Thank you.

[Amy]

That.

[Dale Jr.]

That. Goodness. I don't know. Do I have any more?

[Amy]

I feel like June bug is probably that.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Just because. Because as you grow up, that's not cute anymore.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

I mean, it wasn't cute. He gave it to me in, like, 2000. So, like, I was grown up.

[Amy]

I was assuming you were like, I.

[Dale Jr.]

Never was a June bug until Darrell Waltrip decided to say that on national television and a race broadcast.

[Amy]

Oh, yeah.

[Alex]

A grown man.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy]

I didn't know that.

[Dale Jr.]

I don't. Maybe dad said it every now and then. I don't remember it being a thing. He.

[Amy]

Oh, they didn't say your face. They said you were not around.

[Dale Jr.]

Little Lee.

[Alex]

Do you like that one, Lily?

[Dale Jr.]

I didn't really love it.

[Amy]

You didn't love it.

[Dale Jr.]

And so, you know, I didn't love it. And I blamed dad. Like, I held it. I held resentment against dad for it. I don't want to be little dad in some probably, let's just say like 96 or 7. He starts wearing these hats with this capital E on it. And he was not that kind of person. He didn't walk around with his name on his. You know, he didn't walk around like, look, this is me. Check me out. But he starts walking around. He wore. He tried to wear hats that he's trying to sell. And so he often wore hats that you could buy off his souvenir rig. Well, they. Somebody said, hey, we're going to make these hats with this capital E on it. And he starts wearing that thing around for like three or four days. And I was getting called little E a lot. And they called him Biggie. They did. He would come around, they go, where's Biggie? There's little League. Where's Biggie? Is Biggie here?

[Amy]

And listen, I think that's pretty normal.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah. But then he started wearing that hat, and I was like, big E go, what? Big ego. It's like, not big E anymore. It's just big ego.

[Amy]

So for you as a turn off.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah. I was like, dude, that ain't it.

[Amy]

That ain't it.

[Dale Jr.]

And he didn't. It didn't make it. That hat did not. Didn't last long.

[Amy]

You must have shared. I was like, man, the sentiment with a bunch of fans.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Yeah. So no little E. Got it.

[Dale Jr.]

No little E. Okay.

[Alex]
