[Dirty Mo Media Announcer]

The following is a production of Dirty Mo Media.

[Dale Jr.]

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?

[Dirty Mo Media Announcer]

I'm working.

[Dale Jr.]

Working that mouth. Hey, guys. Welcome to the Dirty Mo Media Studio. This is Amy and Dale Jr. The one and the only. We have a good show for you today. Let's get started. I feel like you're just excited cause you're going to Nashville today.

[Amy]

No, I'm not.

[Dale Jr.]

That's such.

[Amy]

That's not it.

[Dale Jr.]

It is two.

[Amy]

It isn't like I'm looking forward to driving the race car, but we got two full days of practice. It's like too much. But if I. If I don't go, I mean, the other teams are there, so I gotta. I gotta go because the other teams are gonna go if I don't. If I don't go today. I'm giving them whole days of practice to take it, you know, to get a head start. So it's. I'm not. I think we should just be going tomorrow and practice. I am happy today because you are looking awesome. I told you that yesterday. And today. Your hair looks great, your makeup looks great.

[Dale Jr.]

I mean, thanks, honey. But like, that can't be why you matched your outfit. You're excited because you're going to Nashville because you get to race your car. Whether you want to admit it or not, whether the extra day of practice is in there or not.

[Amy]

I'm trying to tell you the truth.

[Dale Jr.]

You're getting excited. And if you're not excited, then why are you going to. So you're excited.

[Amy]

We had a poll A couple weeks ago about the spelling of the word amal.

[Dale Jr.]

We did. We had an entire situation with the shirt that was created without our input

[Amy]

for folks that don't know it's a word that I say. I don't even know or try. I'm not trying to say it. I don't know I'm saying it. But I'm always a word I use a lot to tell you I'm gonna do this.

[Dale Jr.]

I'm going to. It's a smashed up version of I'm

[Amy]

going to Amy and I. Amy's the one that recognized I say it. And she was the first one to say, okay, I think it's spelled this way. And so this is something we've done between us for years.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah, I do it just to make fun of him or to make him laugh, but I always type it out.

[Amy]

We started talking about it on this show.

[Dale Jr.]

Yes.

[Amy]

Dirty Mo Media wanted to make a shirt. And when I saw the shirt for the first time, they had this word spelled wrong. And so we had a debate and we sent the vote out to the public. How should we spell this word? And from what we've been told, the public has determined that me and Amy were spelling it incorrectly all these years.

[Dale Jr.]

I feel like that's complete. How can we spell it wrong when it's our word? Well, Dalton spelled it I, apostrophe M, apostrophe ll, which feels completely ridiculous. And so I've always texted to Dale if I'm, you know, for whatever reason, spelling it out imol. Like it's just one little word that doesn't make any sense. It's not English. It's just a word that he says out loud. That's how I spelled it. I phonetically spelled it out imol. But we lost. We freaking lost.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

The polls. The polls did not agree with us. I thought for sure we would win.

[Travis]

I thought the Dale vote. I thought the fans would just blindly support Dale.

[Dale Jr.]

I agree.

[Amy]

Well, I honestly feel like maybe I didn't campaign at all or enough.

[Travis]

But I think maybe they just saw

[Dale Jr.]

the poll and didn't maybe associate which one was which.

[Amy]

Yeah, they just went with their gut.

[Travis]

Maybe we need a revote.

[Amy]

No, it is what it is.

[Dale Jr.]

If they went with their gut and that's what they really feel, then that's fine. But I. I just feel like I. Since I'm going to. Well, first of all, I'm just going to keep spelling it the way I want to spell it. But if you buy that shirt, that's. That's just weird.

[Travis]

I think we should sell both options.

[Dale Jr.]

Oh yes.

[Travis]

And see which one sells the most. And put under yours Dale's version.

[Amy]

Dale.

[Travis]

Amy's version.

[Dale Jr.]

Like Taylor Swift. Yes, Taylor's version.

[Travis]

And then see which one sells the most.

[Dale Jr.]

That's hilarious.

[Amy]

Well, the other day Amy and I were talking and she has her very own Amal.

[Dale Jr.]

I don't agree that this is true. It was an accident.

[Amy]

It was an accident. Well, she said the other day I was talking about me and dad and she said, y', all, did y'.

[Dale Jr.]

All.

[Amy]

Did y'.

[Dale Jr.]

All.

[Amy]

Did y'.

[Dale Jr.]

All. I threw Joel together because I just got hung up on my big teeth.

[Amy]

She was trying to say, did y'.

[Dale Jr.]

All?

[Amy]

And she goes, did y' all such and such and such and such. Did y' all put that over there? Did y' all run that that way? And I was like, what? Do you have your very own ammo? I believe you do. I mean, I've said before, so it's D apostrophe J A L L Did y'.

[Dale Jr.]

All.

[Amy]

It.

[Dale Jr.]

I mean, I feel like that's pretty normal for a Texan to say. We had just come back from Texas when you asked me whatever it was, maybe I was just around my family too much. I came home and had a new word. You do that when you hang out with your friends. You come home and you're talking all kinds of crazy. I don't know, y'.

[Amy]

All. We did go to Texas for Easter.

[Dale Jr.]

We did.

[Amy]

We took our new fifth wheel. Fifth wheel. This is the second time we've used it. We used it at Daytona and then we took it out to Texas. It's awesome. We got an old. We got a base model last year and had that for several. Actually a couple of years and learned about the fifth wheel life and then decided to get a little bit of an upgrade and we'll mid bunk action for the girls. We've had to repair a few things that we've broken.

[Dale Jr.]

It's not the camp's fault, camper's fault. It's us. We broke.

[Amy]

We broke some shit in there and which I love working on it. It's easy to fix things and Kenny, my, my old bus driver still takes care of some of, you know, a lot of it for us and drove it to Texas for us and back. It'll be. It's been a new nice addition. But Texas, Easter, such a good time. I always. I, I love. I know. I'm not. I'm serious about this. Like I feel so lucky that I got My family. Your family? Yeah. Yeah. So like, you don't know how that's going to go with your in laws.

[Dale Jr.]

You don't. And sometimes it takes time to develop.

[Amy]

Listen, as a, as a male, it is like beat into our brains from a young age that we're not supposed to like our in laws.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah. Why is that?

[Amy]

Who tells you that men are supposed to dislike their mother?

[Dirty Mo Media Announcer]

In laws.

[Amy]

Their in laws. There's jokes that are told. You hear them, you know, when you're hanging around your dad and his buddies at the picnic table and they're just, you know, and then you hear. It's in pop culture comedy. Just all these, you know, in laws. In laws. In laws are this, this negative thing or this thing you're not going to enjoy. Something's going to be in your life, you're going to have to tolerate. But I got, I got really lucky.

[Dale Jr.]

Well, I wasn't worried when you met my family, but I was more worried about how they would receive you being around, you know, a celebrity, because none of us had ever met anybody that had any stature or whatever before. But they welcomed you with open arms. And so, like, going back there is just relaxing and fun. It really is. We just hang out. Everybody's in a good mood. Everybody's there to drink some beer and just make memories.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

There's no real agenda. That's the only thing. Like, when we get down there, I'm always worried that we're not going to have anything to do. Like we're going to be bored. And we're never bored. There's always something happening. The kids are always outside running around playing. Four Wheeling, whatever. So it's a lot of fun.

[Amy]

Yep. We. They got some, they got this old farm in the middle of, you know, it just, you know, imagine Texas Brush. Texas Brush in the middle of nowhere. And they got a farm that their grandparents and many generations actually lived in.

[Dale Jr.]

Yes. Actually, one of our relatives that came over from Germany is buried out on that property. Right.

[Amy]

And so.

[Dale Jr.]

Out in the middle of the brush.

[Amy]

Yeah. So it's got a lot of. It's very, very cool and got tons of the families very connected to it and they take care of it. And it's only, you know, it's a place where we go for holidays and gatherings and all that stuff. And they, you. We use the house, we go in the kitchen. We, we feed and cook and eat around the table and play games. Play games and stuff. And we bring all, Everybody brings their campers. So they've, They've, you Know, their dad's. Your dad's kind of modernized the electricity out there a little bit to be able to handle, you know, a handful of campers.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah. The first time we came out and tried to do that, we didn't have hookups for everybody, so it was kind of a mess. And so since then, we've developed.

[Amy]

So he's done a really good job.

[Travis]

Yeah, but it's nice to get your own space, too.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah, you have. You don't feel like you're invading, and you don't have to drive anywhere. So we used to, like, everybody came out, everybody went back into town, and that back and forth got to be a little taxing, and then you couldn't really enjoy yourself like we all wanted to. So. The camping thing is so fun.

[Amy]

Yeah. But it was a blast. We took a ton of high rock out there and dispersed.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah. We came home with nothing.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

Everybody.

[Amy]

We take the camp. We take the camper. We'll have beer, we'll have high rock, Some roaming man. Some sundrop. And we leave it all because it's like, more. It's just.

[Dale Jr.]

He just sets it out on one of the card tables. He's like, come one, come all. We had the minis. We had the big boys. We had all of it. Everybody loves that.

[Amy]

Speaking of high rock, we got the drink of the week, presented by High Rock Vodka. It is called the azalea.

[Dale Jr.]

Do you know what the azalea is?

[Travis]

It's.

[Amy]

I can tell you what's in it.

[Dale Jr.]

It's the official drink of the masters. Oh, it was a master suite.

[Amy]

Yeah. Okay. That makes sense.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy]

It is the master suite.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah. Travis's favorite thing on the planet.

[Amy]

1/2 ounce of High Rock vodka, 5 ounces of lemonade, and a half ounce of grenadine. If I drink grenadine, I break out in hives.

[Travis]

Allegedly.

[Amy]

Allegedly.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah, allegedly.

[Amy]

We don't know for sure because I've never been tested for allergies, but.

[Dale Jr.]

And he only breaks out after he's had a thousand beers.

[Travis]

And then I've got an allergy story to tell you after you're done with this.

[Amy]

So you fill a glass with ice, pour in your hot rock, vodka, lemonade, grenadine, stir, garnish it with a cherry for me. I'm going to drink classic Red Bull and vodka. The Red Bull Red is not too. Not too bad. I actually like it.

[Dale Jr.]

That's very refreshing.

[Travis]

It is. It's so good.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah. You could probably pound a few of those if you were out in the sun watching some Golf tomorrow.

[Travis]

That's all I'm gonna be doing is hell y day. Speaking of allergies, though, I called to try to get an allergy appointment for, like, I haven't seasoned a bunch. They said I have to go three days without taking any. Like, Oligar, Claridin. I won't make it three days.

[Dale Jr.]

Really? Like, you're one of those people that

[Travis]

has allergies, and it's the worst it's ever been. I don't like, how am I supposed to go three days without any medicine?

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah, I don't know. Maybe this isn't the time of the year to do the allergies allergy test. Or you have to do it when it's, like, allergies.

[Travis]

I hope I could get something so I would stop being so, like, congested.

[Dale Jr.]

Oh, yeah. We have that going on in our house, too. You can hear Dale's voice. Isla's gotten to where every season she gets an ear infection. It doesn't matter how much I get ahead of it.

[Amy]

I think I just got a head cold. I've had it.

[Dale Jr.]

He refuses to. To believe that pollen has an effect on him.

[Amy]

I've just had it. I don't have allergies. I've never had them.

[Dale Jr.]

You can. You can get it every once in a while. You don't have to have, like, an allergy to the trees. But there's. The pollen is so bad right now. You walk outside and there's a whole sheet of yellow all over the porch.

[Amy]

I'm sure I'm bothered by that, but I think I went. We went to Texas, and around Friday, I started feeling like I getting a head cold.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah, Well, I mean, they have pollen in Texas, too. They've fallen everywhere. I don't know. I feel like that's what it is. Because you don't feel bad. It's just stuffiness.

[Amy]

I don't feel too bad. I think I need about an hour in the morning to get going. I feel like crap. And then I finally can get going.

[Dale Jr.]

Pressure in your face.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

I think that's all it is, personally.

[Amy]

Interesting.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah. So I've never had an allergy test, though. Have you?

[Travis]

The worst.

[Amy]

Why are they the worst?

[Travis]

Because they take these, like, little needles. Needles. And prick your back all over and see what you're allergic to.

[Dale Jr.]

Sounds kind of fun.

[Amy]

Good.

[Travis]

No, it's not fun, because then you just have these reactions on your back, and now you're itchy.

[Amy]

I can't see them. Oh.

[Dale Jr.]

Oh, they're itchy.

[Amy]

My back's. Itching right now. So what,

[Dale Jr.]

all you need is a basic lawn chair just to scratch your back.

[Amy]

I mean, an old man scraper, a little hand, little wooden hand. Like I'm. I'm.

[Travis]

Yeah, they're not fun.

[Amy]

I do want to know though, if I'm allergic to anything. Maybe I've been allergic to something my whole life and didn't know it.

[Dale Jr.]

I feel like you've got a milk. A little bit of a milk intolerance. It seems to mess your belly up.

[Amy]

If I.

[Dale Jr.]

That's going too far.

[Amy]

If I fart, Amy goes. Amy. So we're around each other literally almost 24, 7. So if I've eaten anything, a snack or a meal, she knows most likely what it was. And, and so if I fart, she goes right to that thing. Well, there it is, that beef jerky. Oh, it's a glass of water you just drank, not water.

[Dale Jr.]

Come on now. I met him. All he did drank that Red Bull, chicken wings, pizza. What else? Stir fry, like most, very salty, a lot of dairy. Like he eats cereal and his belly was wrecked. Like it smelled like a dead animal every time he farted.

[Travis]

But what's. If you're farting and your arms are

[Amy]

not supposed to smell?

[Dale Jr.]

It doesn't like that anymore. It doesn't smell like it used to. My God. It does not.

[Travis]

But if you're farting in private, I don't see the issue. I don't know why it's such.

[Dale Jr.]

It's not in. He never farts in private. He never farts in private. He waits till he's around people to do it. Dude, this is like one of the enjoys, so.

[Amy]

No, this is so true. So this is like I'm. I'm calling myself out. We were sitting around the Texas family. It's her, her dad, they won.

[Dale Jr.]

We just got in there.

[Amy]

Her dad got married. And there's this whole other family that joins us now. Right. So there's other married, two married couples, their kids, there's, I mean, bonus sisters and families.

[Dale Jr.]

Yes.

[Amy]

And they've. They've been in this life, you know, for we. I've known Amy for over a decade and I've known her family for over a decade, but these are some newer folks that are still in year like six or whatever.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy]

And so, you know, we're not only see each other a couple times a year at these holiday, we're sitting there in these, you know, around, around the campers and I had a fart and I just let it rip and like I would if I was Sitting on my couch. And as soon as I farted, I was like, I just farted in front of everybody. And they all were like, everyone. I mean, all of them were like.

[Dale Jr.]

It had an audible. Like, it was very audible. And I'm like. I just look over. I'm like, wow. Like, he's that comfortable.

[Amy]

I'm like, damn. You know, you just. And it. I. I knew I was gonna fart, and I was the one that chose to fart. And I was like, it ain't. Like it slipped out.

[Dale Jr.]

It was like, this is happening. He's reached this stage of life.

[Amy]

Yes.

[Dale Jr.]

What a. Not just being comfortable around people. My people. Your people. Which are your people.

[Amy]

But I will.

[Dale Jr.]

He's just at that age where, like, it's happening. Whether I've. Whether any of you people care about

[Amy]

it really possible that I could go over to this. To the office. Dirty mo. Media, you know, all you guys are hanging out around your cubicles and whatnot. And I'm. I might. I might could just, like, be that comfortable just to let one rip.

[Dale Jr.]

Just to ruin the entire environment.

[Travis]

I'm not that comfortable yet to do that.

[Amy]

I am. And then. But immediately, as soon as it happens, I go, damn it, why did I do that? Like, this is not the place.

[Dale Jr.]

The thought process is backwards.

[Amy]

Yeah. It's absolutely.

[Dale Jr.]

Like, there's no filter or, oh, maybe I should get up. It's just. It happens. And then he's like, oh, damn it.

[Amy]

And I do it with burping, too. Burps. Yeah, Let burp all the time. And I'm always burping.

[Dale Jr.]

It's like a belt around a light. Burp.

[Amy]

Yeah. I'm always burping around people and I'm like.

[Dale Jr.]

So, like, there's something to. Maybe you shouldn't have eaten that.

[Amy]

I know, but I'm saying, like, I don't even. I don't have that. I used to. I used to, like, hold a fart till I got off by myself. Or, you know, not try not to burp in front of people. I used to. I used to. But it's gone.

[Dale Jr.]

That's just gone.

[Travis]

It's better for your system to let it go.

[Amy]

I do not prefer it. I don't. I don't prefer to be that way. But I don't know what happened. Like, I've got. I've lost the, like, etiquette.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy]

And. And even the self awareness, I guess. I don't know.

[Dale Jr.]

I don't think you lost the awareness because you're. You feel. Have feelings afterwards.

[Amy]

I'LL burp or fart. And in a public with a group of people and. And I. As soon as it happens, I go, how did I do that? Why did I do that? I don't need to fart around these people. They don't need to hear me farting. No one else is farting audibly.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah, no one else. That's the thing. No one else is just ribboned. I don't know.

[Amy]

I used to laugh because I think the rumor was that Ryan Newman farted all the time. And, you know, you'd be riding a plane with him, and you're like, he

[Dale Jr.]

did have that reputation. Yes.

[Amy]

Huh?

[Dale Jr.]

He did have that reputation.

[Amy]

Right. And you're riding on the plane, you're thinking, is he farting on us? And then you're thinking you're in a plane, like, going to the race and you got a fly. You know, you're in one of those planes with all the people in there. You're like, how many people are here farting?

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Quietly, you know, just playing. Just full of fart air.

[Dale Jr.]

I've been on one of the teams.

[Amy]

You ever thought about that?

[Dale Jr.]

And it's like a giant hot box. They are farting all over you, and it is gross.

[Travis]

That's the worst. When you're on a plane and you got a fart and you're like, okay, maybe if I just let out quietly and then don't move my butt cheeks, it'll just stay under.

[Amy]

It'll sink into the seats.

[Travis]

It'll slowly go away.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

The problem is the seats aren't fabric anymore. They're all leather. So, like, there's no soaking it up. It's gonna go somewhere.

[Amy]

That is a dangerous proposition. Farting on a commercial airline, that is a dangerous proposition.

[Travis]

Especially if you're trying. You think you can get a quiet one out, then it's not.

[Dale Jr.]

And it's not.

[Amy]

Well, what if you did?

[Dale Jr.]

Then you're not around here.

[Amy]

I'm more worried about the smell. Because.

[Dale Jr.]

Because it's the thing. Yes. It's okay. It's how we started this conversation. Yeah.

[Amy]

I think a lot of us are very capable of sliding one out without anybody noticing. Audibly. But the smell.

[Travis]

And, I mean, you know, I still sneak my farts around my girlfriend. I haven't just let one out yet.

[Dale Jr.]

Really?

[Travis]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

That's sweet of you. They all led with it.

[Travis]

Wait till she falls asleep.

[Dale Jr.]

Gonna be lady.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

You're hanging around with me.

[Travis]

Maybe I should have done that.

[Amy]

I hid a few from you.

[Travis]

A few? It doesn't Once you leave one out, it doesn't matter.

[Amy]

Yeah, we went a few days.

[Dale Jr.]

I don't know. I don't. It's hard to remember. So. Too long ago.

[Amy]

Well, we were talking about High Rock Vodka and the drink of the week. Don't forget about going to the website highrockvodka.com to find a bottle near you. We'll have those, the new big handles out later in May. In May?

[Dale Jr.]

Yep.

[Amy]

Yeah. So very soon you'll be able to go over to the store and get you a big old 1.75. And remember to drink responsibly. You must be 21 or over.

[Dale Jr.]

Can we talk about Scamander right quick? Can we just hit back on Schematic?

[Travis]

Yes, let's do it.

[Amy]

I wondered if anybody gave a about that last week because, you know, we're not.

[Dale Jr.]

We aren't the gossip columnists.

[Amy]

We're not the gossip. We're not. We're. We might be the gossip show.

[Travis]

We are now.

[Amy]

We just don't know it.

[Dale Jr.]

Usually we're just gossiping about ourselves.

[Amy]

Yeah, we usually talk about ourselves.

[Dale Jr.]

Yes. But this is a self defreation.

[Amy]

I'm talking about this because we enjoy the show and we watch it.

[Dale Jr.]

And yes, we are invested. Our time is invested.

[Amy]

It is. But when we started the show, we knew that a lot of the people that initially were going to watch it were going to be the, the, you know, race fans originally. Race fans. Right. NASCAR fans, all that. So we're kind of like, hey man, you. This show's going not going to be what you're the same Adele Jr. Download. Right. And so. But I think we're in a place now where we've done enough of these that people can kind of know what to expect or not be too thrown off.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah. No, no. When we talk about based on the responses last week, if we were to

[Amy]

talk some reality television.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah. There are plenty of people that aren't just listening to this. They are also watching.

[Amy]

I felt like there was a lot of response there was positive.

[Dale Jr.]

But I'm gonna tell you, have you changed your. I've had so many clips coming at me, so many little memes and clips and then people analyzing all the things that's been my favorite part is watching all of the other Die Hards like overanalyze going back and watching the old shows and timeline and post. Like there are people cross examining post times with songs and all. I have a feeling that it's all. I think it's all Kyle's lover boy is like flying off the shelves.

[Amy]

Carl is a mess.

[Dale Jr.]

Business has been saved.

[Amy]

Who's that?

[Dirty Mo Media Announcer]

What's Carl?

[Travis]

So when he was interviewed, he was talking about on the street. He said that Carl is a mess. And everyone's like, what does Carl have to do with my mess?

[Dale Jr.]

What does Carl have to do with anything?

[Travis]

So now they're selling merchants sold out.

[Dale Jr.]

And he and Carl really weren't on the best of terms in the last episode. Like they didn't end the summer very on very good terms. So I don't know, does Carl have

[Amy]

to do with that?

[Travis]

Exactly.

[Dale Jr.]

Exactly. I think it's all a ruse.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah. Sierra was doing a. She's been doing this. She was on a red carpet doing her thing.

[Amy]

The whole thing is a put on.

[Dale Jr.]

I think the whole freaking thing's a put on.

[Amy]

Wow.

[Dale Jr.]

And where's Amanda?

[Amy]

I didn't think you were going to.

[Dale Jr.]

She disappeared.

[Amy]

I didn't think you were going to say that. I thought you were just going to switch sides.

[Dale Jr.]

I feel like they all knew what was happening all along. Kyle and Amanda were going to plan to get divorced. I think that they were.

[Amy]

You know what else?

[Dale Jr.]

Going around all summer underneath our nose in the show.

[Amy]

You know what else is a put on?

[Dale Jr.]

What?

[Amy]

Eminence front.

[Dale Jr.]

Okay.

[Dirty Mo Media Announcer]

It's a put on.

[Amy]

That's such a great song.

[Dale Jr.]

You are. Squirrel. Did you see Squirrel?

[Amy]

My favorite song.

[Travis]

That was actually well played.

[Amy]

It's my favorite song ever.

[Travis]

I don't think it was a put on, though.

[Dale Jr.]

You don't? I do. I really do. Did you see the interview that Sierra did with why am I forgetting Sweeney or what? Sydney Sweeney. Yes. And I. Sydney's watching the show, so, you know, everybody's paying attention to this Amanda thing. And she says something about, like, what happens next if you cheat on your ex? If your best friend steals your ex? You must get married. Right. To make it worth it. I feel like the whole thing is just like, why is she even talking about it?

[Amy]

Who said that?

[Dale Jr.]

Ciara and then Sydney Sweeney, they're, like, talking to each other about it. Sidney suggests that, like, now they should get married, Amanda and Wes. But. Yeah.

[Travis]

Because if you're gonna go this far and burn bridges and friendships, then you better be in it for it. Better be more than just sex. You can't just be in it for that.

[Dale Jr.]

That's why I think it's all fake. I don't think that any bridge is burned. I think it's all. I think Sierra's getting her moment. I think lover boy is getting back on the. Flying back off the shelves, and everybody's getting his lover boys going off the shelves. Yes. Kyle's posted a video the other day. He's like, you guys have no idea how much, like, his products are back ordered.

[Travis]

What is Amanda getting?

[Dale Jr.]

I don't know. But, like, does she need anything?

[Amy]

Well, is. Are they married still? Are they really divorced? They really did divorce.

[Dale Jr.]

I think so. I think, like, I don't think we would know that it wasn't real, actually.

[Amy]

So some of it's true, but I

[Dale Jr.]

think that they knew that they were going to go down that path before

[Amy]

the show and they utilized that opportunity to.

[Dale Jr.]

I think the whole summer was civil.

[Travis]

You might have me because I just realized Amanda didn't sign a prenup.

[Dale Jr.]

No.

[Travis]

So if lover boy tanked, they waited

[Dale Jr.]

till it got to a point where they could declare bankruptcy so that she didn't have to take it. You go down with it. Yeah. I think it's all, man.

[Amy]

Why would that. I don't know. I don't follow that.

[Travis]

She didn't sign a prenup. So her name's attached to all the lovers.

[Dale Jr.]

So she would assume his debt if they got divorced and that business wasn't. Wasn't in the black like they would. She would have to be viable for half the day. Yes.

[Travis]

I still think it's real.

[Dale Jr.]

I don't to be determined, but I don't feel like it's real.

[Amy]

We'll never really know whether it was true or not.

[Dale Jr.]

So I saw another thing this morning about this marketing agency that works with Bravo and they have product placement in every show.

[Travis]

Oh, yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

There were over 50 products placed in every single episode of the Summer House, including the watch that Kyle gave her.

[Amy]

So it's all a setup.

[Dale Jr.]

I think that there's plenty. That's bull.

[Amy]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Travis]

I mean, it's scripted to a degree.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah. Like throw these themed parties. Kyle, try your best to make it up to her. Here's a watch. You know what I mean?

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

If he's in that much debt, why is he buying Cartier? You know what I mean?

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

It's all fake.

[Amy]

No, I mean, we could dive.

[Dale Jr.]

I mean, I don't think all reality shows are fake, but I think we

[Amy]

could dive into the details of the. The stagedness of the show. Like, there's some times when, you know, they're having a party. Right. And everybody's partying. The parties feel kind of weird because they're all dressed up in outfits and then. But they invite locals that are just regular folks dressed like normal clothes.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah. And it feels like they open the floodgate and they always come rushing.

[Amy]

It feels like that. It's like a. But they're not. They're.

[Dale Jr.]

They're.

[Amy]

They do know some of these people that are showing up. They're not just random people that are like, okay, here comes the extras.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah. Right.

[Amy]

But.

[Dale Jr.]

But it does also feel like here comes the extras.

[Amy]

During every party, there's like a sit down with two people that they need to discuss the.

[Dale Jr.]

The.

[Amy]

The big drama in the room or in the house. I. I Watch it. Knowing that I'm probably getting. Getting a little.

[Dale Jr.]

See, I don't. We. We know the Southern charm folks. We know that that show is somewhat real. I know that there's probably similar things with products or whatever, but, like, we know enough about those people to know that they actually do get really annoyed with Craig. You know what I mean? Like, there's things.

[Amy]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So they don't have to manufacture any drama because it comes naturally.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah. But I have a very intuitive feeling that the Kyle and Amanda thing started sooner than we thought. They were already unraveling that and knew that they were going to. The divorce got finalized in January. You can't get divorced that damn fast.

[Travis]

I don't. But the west and Amanda thing, I think, is real.

[Dale Jr.]

I think that they are dating, but I think that they've been dating since the beginning of the summer. And Kyle knew all along.

[Travis]

Oh, yeah. I agree with that.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah. I think that all of that was just, oh, he didn't know. Sierra didn't know. I think all that part's okay.

[Travis]

That's understandable.

[Dale Jr.]

And how can you steal a best friend's ex? She's not your. Like, he's not yours to begin with. Like, why is she so mad? I'm gonna.

[Travis]

Girl code.

[Dale Jr.]

I know, but, like, is there, like, they weren't even really ever dating. They went on a couple of dates, but they didn't sleep together or anything like that.

[Travis]

Cyren West.

[Dale Jr.]

Not back in the day.

[Travis]

100%. They slept together.

[Amy]

No, they didn't.

[Dale Jr.]

She declared that they didn't in the show.

[Amy]

I doubt. I doubt that happened.

[Dale Jr.]

I don't know. I just. I can't wait to watch all my memes pop up and, like, give me more information, because I am very excited about, like, someone doing the due diligence to uncover all those little things.

[Travis]

I would know that.

[Dale Jr.]

I have a feeling. It's bullshit.

[Travis]

Last year, Amanda said was, like, undressed west about his dating, how he never had a girlfriend, blah, blah, blah. And now she's with them.

[Dale Jr.]

So, like, doesn't that make you think you're, like, what's. Which part's true?

[Amy]

I just don't see nothing against Wes at all, but I just don't see how they're. She's.

[Dale Jr.]

What's the appeal?

[Amy]

No, I just don't see them. I don't see her having interest in him.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah. Like, so until I saw all those. The arm rubbing and all those things, I didn't. I never saw them even kind of look twice at each other.

[Amy]

They Just don't seem like two people that would find compatible.

[Travis]

So he likes to party. He's basically. He's a younger Kyle. Yeah, he just doesn't DJ yet.

[Dale Jr.]

He's just a younger.

[Amy]

He kind of has a. He has a. He's on a whole nother plan. Right. He's on a whole nother route. And the girls that he's gonna date or be with are gonna have. They're gonna be over in this pool, and she's way over here in this pool.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy]

And she was a married woman, like, you know, had this plan.

[Dale Jr.]

None of it makes any real commitment

[Amy]

to me, you know, going down this path with this dude forever.

[Travis]

She wanted to move to out of the city. And we'll see yard and kids.

[Amy]

Yeah, we don't know these people. We just watch them on tv.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah, well, I have a feeling that they've gotten us all. And the other thing I saw this week that was really funny, that kind of had me laughing, was, do you watch anything with Theo Vaughn?

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

So he interviewed Ella Langley, who were all like, what? Who's Ella Langley?

[Travis]

What?

[Amy]

Who is that? Who is it?

[Dale Jr.]

The little brunette that sings country music. Excuse me. You look like you love me. You look like you love me.

[Amy]

I'm sorry.

[Travis]

You're not an Ella fella.

[Dale Jr.]

You're not an Ella fella. We listened to Ella Langley at least 14,000 times when we were in Texas.

[Amy]

Is that the song? She's from Texas.

[Dale Jr.]

She's from Texas. I can tell. Yeah.

[Amy]

Then I know who that is.

[Dale Jr.]

So he interviews Ella Langley, and she brought her guitar, and he's like, hey, you know, I want you to sing one of your songs. You'll sing a song. And she's like, okay, sure. You pick one out. And so he picks Dandelion. And before she ever got to playing it, he's like, I sometimes feel like a dandelion. And she looks at him like, wait, what you do that doesn't align with you? I feel like you're more like a rose. And he's like, no, I'm more like a vine. You know, vines that grows on your house that you can't get rid of. So they surmised he was like a kudzu. Just hilarious. I can't get enough of, like, watching where his brain goes. But it got me thinking, if I had to declare you a flower, what would it be? And I feel like you're more like a fiddle fig tree.

[Amy]

What the hell's a fiddle fig tree?

[Dale Jr.]

Well, hear me out. So, like, everyone likes a fiddle. Fig tree. You know, the tree that I have in the sunroom. The big giant one.

[Amy]

Sunroom? Which room is that?

[Dale Jr.]

Oh, my God. Dale. Hi, I'm Amy. Have we met before?

[Amy]

I don't know. We had a sun room.

[Dale Jr.]

Okay. It used to be a porch. That is now like the Butler's Pantry sign.

[Amy]

Yeah, the Butler's Pantry.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah. So it's kind of like the plant room, too.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Dale Jr.]

That big giant tree.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Dale Jr.]

That's a fiddle fig. They are really nice to look at. Everyone seems to like them. They're very hard to take care of.

[Amy]

Oh.

[Dale Jr.]

Kind of fickle. Like you can't move them. They like to stay in their place. If you over water them, they're mad. If you underwater them, the leaves fall off.

[Amy]

It's perfect.

[Dale Jr.]

So you're like a fiddle fig.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah. What am I?

[Amy]

Oh, man. I mean, you're just. Pink rose.

[Dale Jr.]

I don't know. A pink rose. The basic. Well, a pink rose.

[Amy]

I don't know. I mean.

[Dale Jr.]

Travis, what are you. Are you an azalea? Since you love the Master Zelda, I'm

[Travis]

an azalea this week, maybe. Like a cactus?

[Amy]

Yeah, cactus.

[Dale Jr.]

No, you're like giving cactus vibes. You like pink drinks. You're not a cactus.

[Amy]

Let's see. You're an orchid.

[Dale Jr.]

I'm an orchid?

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

Did you look at my notes? That's my favorite flower. Does that mean I'm an orchid? Do you know anything about orchids?

[Amy]

Oh, yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

What do you know about an orchid there?

[Amy]

If orchids, when you get one from the store, you got to be real careful with it because it could get damaged and you could. You could. You could ruin it real easy on the way home. And they need to be in the sun now by the window. And they. They. They bloom and they're beautiful. And then they go sort of dormant, but then they kind of come back. When this. When the season. You know, when the season's right, they kind of bloom again, like most flowers, I suppose. But when they're dormant, they're pretty. Pretty normal. There's just one little. It's just one little stick.

[Dale Jr.]

One little stick.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

When they're dormant, you're supposed to leave them alone.

[Amy]

Yeah. Don't touch it.

[Dale Jr.]

Don't touch it. Don't think about touching it.

[Amy]

That's exactly you. Like when. When you're. When you're in a mood. When you're in a mood, like an orchid, you gotta leave it alone. Don't touch it.

[Dale Jr.]

Don't even come over here.

[Amy]

No. And try to sneak in a Hug and some cuddling.

[Dale Jr.]

Nope, nope, nope, nope.

[Amy]

But Amy loves orchids, and so I think that that's not a basic bee flower at all.

[Dale Jr.]

No, it's not a. Pink roses, though.

[Amy]

Orchids are very. Well, I just said that out of. First thing popped in my brain. Women love roses, but we do.

[Dale Jr.]

There's nothing wrong with roses.

[Amy]

Orchids are very peculiar in particular. They're beautiful. They're unique and special and rare. Ish. And so they're kind of hard to mess.

[Dale Jr.]

They're hard to grow. They're hard to take care of.

[Amy]

It takes some effort.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah, it does. It takes some effort.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Travis]

Do you like poinsettias?

[Dale Jr.]

Yes. And I have a funny story about poinsettia. So, like, they're a tropical flower, and I didn't know that until recently, but my mom always had poinsettias out on the porch at Christmas. Like, she has Christmas stuff everywhere, but. And so they were. There were some inside, but she always kept them out on the porch. Well, I grew up in South Texas, and it was generally kind of warm around Christmas time. If it got cold, that was not normal. And so I was living with Dale, and this is back when Tammy was working with us, and I had gotten these really good looking poinsettias, and I put them out on the porch and she's like dying, laughing at me, and she's like, you know, those are gonna die out there. I said, really? I was like, my mom always had them on the porch. She goes, in Texas, they're tropicals. They're gonna die out there. I was like, oh, my God, really? She's like, yeah, they can't be below whatever temperature. And she showed me on her phone. So I feel like I was just a total dumb. Didn't know at all that these Christmas flowers are actually tropical flowers, which I think is kind of like a oxymoron anyway. Right?

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

You're just looking at me like, whatever, Amy.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

So after that, I got a bunch of fake poinsettias. Do you remember those big fake poinsettias I had? And I stuck them all in the fountain. We had an old fountain that I turned into a planter bed on the porch. I stuck a bunch of fake ones out there just so that Tammy could enjoy that because she could see them out of her little window right there.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah. She always thought that was funny.

[Amy]

I'm not interested in

[Dale Jr.]

flowers in general.

[Amy]

Flowers and landscaping and all that.

[Dale Jr.]

No, you're not.

[Travis]

Same.

[Dale Jr.]

No. Like, not a yard guy, huh?

[Travis]

No.

[Dale Jr.]

Dale's not either you give a. Yeah. It's like make it all dirt.

[Travis]

Just put stone down. Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

As long as it's not getting in the house. Make it all dirt. I love it. I'm very into it.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

At least there's one of us.

[Travis]

All right, so we're gonna play a little game called this or that. It's interesting that this topic was already brought up, so we'll make it an official question. Would you all. Would you always rather have a silent but deadly fart or loud and odorless?

[Dale Jr.]

Always. It has to be one always.

[Amy]

I'd say loud and odorless. I mean, at least everybody can laugh. Silent and deadly. It's brutal. Is brutal. And you're gonna feel terrible and guilty. No one, you know, sometimes you might get found out, but the smell, you know, you're gonna get tired of that. Even your. Even your own farts. And so God loud all the time.

[Dale Jr.]

It's so embarrassing to me.

[Amy]

I know, but you would be that guy. Eventually. You just get to go embrace it.

[Travis]

He's like, at least it doesn't smell.

[Amy]

Yeah, you're gonna have to embrace it. Hey, I'm the farting guy.

[Dale Jr.]

I think either way, I'm mortified.

[Amy]

I'm trying to make this work.

[Travis]

You gotta answer it, Amy.

[Dale Jr.]

I can't imagine being in the kitchen cooking and going. Just ripping.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

Riffing it, you know. Sorry.

[Amy]

Have I ever heard you fart?

[Dale Jr.]

No, I don't think so. And I'm not about to start.

[Amy]

I heard you burp. Girls love to fight.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah, I know. That's allowed.

[Dirty Mo Media Announcer]

Yeah, but.

[Amy]

I know, but you try not to. And I've heard. I think I remember the first time I heard you burp. It wasn't many, many years ago.

[Dale Jr.]

It was like I farted. He reacted like I had farted.

[Amy]

It was like. It was insane.

[Dale Jr.]

Which is why I don't fart in front of him. Or ever.

[Travis]

Yeah, girls don't fart.

[Dale Jr.]

Dale, have you ever. I would get, like, clowned for years about it.

[Amy]

Have you ever farted in private and then audible.

[Dale Jr.]

I don't know.

[Amy]

Even when you're by yourself through the fifth. Even when you're by yourself. Are you trying to, like, make it not make noise? Because you don't even want to hear that.

[Dale Jr.]

Because I'm a lady.

[Amy]

You're like, I don't even want to hear this.

[Dale Jr.]

I don't want to hear that either. No. Yeah, you nailed it.

[Travis]

All right, we'll go a little easier answer here. Sunrise or sunset?

[Dale Jr.]

Ooh, sunset. And then night. Night. I like sunsets because it's usually like just that time of the day where everybod kind of relaxing. And then the sky is so bright and pretty. I've seen plenty of sunrises, but usually sunsets are prettier. Yeah.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

Dale doesn't know what a sunrise looks like. He's never seen sun.

[Amy]

Plenty of sunrises when he's. Before he goes to bed and all nighters.

[Dale Jr.]

Does that count?

[Amy]

Doing the all nighters? Yeah, if you.

[Travis]

You can make it to sunrise.

[Amy]

We've watched. No, that we. In Key west, we watched the sunset.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah, we watched lots of sunsets in Key West.

[Amy]

The sunsets are pretty fun, I guess, but kind of anti climactic. You know, we would be in Key west, you know, raising hell, partying, going from bar to bar, and then Amy and the other girls that are on the trip would go, we gotta go watch the sunset at Sunset Pier. And I'm like, God dang it.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah. He can't be okay with anybody else having an idea. We have to sit in the same bar two or three hours until he wants to move to a different bar stool. And then we sit wherever he wants to sit for two or three hours. If anybody else has an idea, it's like, God dang it.

[Amy]

Yeah. Why are we messing up this good time?

[Dale Jr.]

Because we don't all enjoy the same thing.

[Amy]

We're gonna have. We're gonna go over to Sunset Pier, sit down, everybody's gonna get tired, sleepy, and then we gotta try to figure out how to fire everybody back up for the next round, go to the next bar.

[Dale Jr.]

That's not true. You go to Sunset Pier and get another drink. We're all sitting out there drinking margaritas.

[Amy]

Well, I'm afraid that you're. You're gonna see the sunset and want to go night night.

[Dale Jr.]

That's just your anxiety.

[Amy]

No, you just said it.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah, I mean, I do like to go to sleep now right after the sunsets, but we were in Key West. We all stayed up late.

[Travis]

I'm with Dale on this one. I like to just sit there. And you, like, you just like, look at you. Like, you're still good here. Like, you're.

[Amy]

Man, when I was a dude thing, I guess in my 20s, like when we were, you know, we were raised in hell back in the bud days, sometimes I would skip dinner.

[Dale Jr.]

You still do that?

[Amy]

Yeah. I'd be like, man, I ain't gonna eat. That's gonna slow me down.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah, they didn't eat any up.

[Amy]

My buddies were like, we're hungry, dude. And I'm like, how. Let's just power through.

[Dale Jr.]

You still do that? Did that when we were dating.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

When I moved in and we would have people out the house for pool day or whatever. And I'm not just talking about like a night party, like an all day event. He didn't want to have any food. And I'm like, I can't invite people over to the house and not have food and then expect them to drive

[Amy]

home to figure that out. Because she's like.

[Dale Jr.]

And I'm like, not going to just half ass it. I'm getting.

[Amy]

She's got. Yeah, she's going to have a whole layout sides and all this stuff.

[Dale Jr.]

He said he's invited three people, but what he really means is three plus 10. He's invited 13 people over, so there's a bunch of mouths.

[Amy]

They got. We got some bags of chips and they can eat them. They can eat them. There's plenty. We don't need to order catering. What the hell?

[Dale Jr.]

Yes, we do. Because I ain't cooking for all these freaking people that you've invited over. I'm getting catered. Tacos or whatever. Just sandwiches. Going to have some food.

[Amy]

And what will happen? We all have fun, and we're in a good mood. We're up on plane, we're partying good. And everybody eats, and then, you know, everybody goes to sleep.

[Travis]

See, I'm the snacker. So I remember when we were in Key West, I'm like, y' all want anything? They're like, no. I'm like, I'm ordering an app here. More.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Travis]

I'm just like, get some cheese curds here. Get some pimento.

[Dale Jr.]

Get out of control. Yeah, Yeah.

[Travis]

I always have to be snacking on something.

[Dale Jr.]

I like that idea. I like that, too. All right, like a little shared app.

[Travis]

Next question. Make a boring errand fun or getting dressed up for a real date?

[Amy]

What?

[Dale Jr.]

Make a boring errand.

[Travis]

Like, you run some errands, so then you're like, all right, let's. Let's go grab a drink and then do this and then. Or actually, like, have a planned date night where you get dressed up.

[Amy]

Planned date night. Dress up.

[Dale Jr.]

Ooh. I like a planned date night so I can really plan my outfit. I do love an impromptu situation, but that's just not typical.

[Amy]

I do that every day. That's every day.

[Dale Jr.]

What do you mean?

[Amy]

Every day is our impromptu situation. Like, what are we doing? What are we going? What's for dating?

[Dale Jr.]

I know, but we're not, like, stopping for a cocktail in between. Like, making it fun.

[Amy]

But it's fun.

[Dale Jr.]

We used to do that.

[Amy]

It's fun when we got a night

[Dale Jr.]

where we can go dedicated.

[Amy]

Yeah. Even if we had the kids, like, take them to dinner and stuff.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah. Sometimes when the kids are gone, we like to plan to do nothing and sit on the couch in our sweats. And that's fun, too.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Travis]

So speaking of sweats, would you rather always be overdressed or underdressed?

[Dale Jr.]

Overdressed all the time. I'm from Texas. Like, I mean, I don't even really do the Texas thing, but, like, we are taught to. You put your face on, jewelry's on, like, you've got an outfit. Like, life is short, and you are here to present.

[Amy]

If it was up to me, my closet would only have pants, T shirts, and hoodies, and that would be as high as I went. And then the rest of the time, I'd be in pajama. Pants.

[Dale Jr.]

He tried to tell me when we were in Texas he was going to put his gray sweatpants on. I was like, no you're not. He's like, why not? Everybody else is in their lounge clothes. Like no, no. Every man here is in their jeans. And you're not running around here in gray sweatpants.

[Travis]

You can't be running around in gray sweatpants.

[Dale Jr.]

Not in front of granny. No thank you.

[Travis]

No. Yeah, you got it.

[Amy]

Come on.

[Travis]

If they're black, you're red. You can't, you can't have gray sweatpants on out in public.

[Dale Jr.]

I mean he forgets that like gray sweatpants has a stigma and a season. They do, yeah.

[Travis]

100.

[Amy]

What's the stigma in gray sweatpants?

[Travis]

That's what guys wear when they're trying to attract girls.

[Amy]

Oh, I've never heard this. Wish I had known that when I was a kid.

[Travis]

No, it's more problem.

[Amy]

In high school I didn't wear gray sweatpants.

[Dale Jr.]

That's definitely what your problem was in high school. No, not enough gray sweatpants.

[Amy]

Yeah, this is silly.

[Dale Jr.]

No it's not. You put them on a stand in the mirror and be like oh, I see now.

[Travis]

Yeah, funny if I never. If I could always wear shorts, I'd be happy.

[Dale Jr.]

You wear shorts when it's cold outside even now.

[Travis]

I wore shorts today cuz it's going to get warm though in the afternoon.

[Dale Jr.]

65 when you're in the office.

[Travis]

Like it's just I was not meant to wear jeans pants.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah, you're usually in shorts. Yeah, that's true. You're dressed for golf though.

[Travis]

They golfers wear pants.

[Dale Jr.]

Oh, that's true.

[Travis]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

What are you dressed for then? Like what is it about the shorts for Travis? Yeah, just me showing off your legs.

[Travis]

Shorts and hoodies. That's my style.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah. So like one leg out of the sheets.

[Travis]

Yeah, exactly. Next question. Power nap or long nap?

[Dale Jr.]

Long nap. I'm not good at car leaping. Dale can fall asleep in a crowded room and pop up after 15 minutes and be refreshed.

[Amy]

Yes.

[Dale Jr.]

I'm not, I'm not good at nothing like that.

[Amy]

I, if I, I feel better after a 10 minute nap than I do after sleeping all evening.

[Travis]

Same.

[Amy]

We got up this morning and I'm like damn, I feel like I hit by a truck. Saying like I could lay back down and go another two hours and I've had six and a half to eight hours of sleep but I'll do a 10 minute nap in the middle of the day and be like hell yeah, I'm gonna go till two in the morning now.

[Dale Jr.]

That's probably the problem. If you didn't have those naps, you might go to bed at like 10 or 11.

[Amy]

I have been napping more. I used to not want to nap and only napped when it was in dire situations.

[Dale Jr.]

Like when you're having a conversation you don't like he used to fall asleep in the plane or anywhere if he had his sunglasses on or if he didn't have his sunglasses on, he put them on. That was code four. I'm taking a nap. You can keep talking, but I'm going to fall asleep. You have conversation with him and not realize he was asleep behind his glasses.

[Amy]

I'm just saying a new trend for me has been not all the time, but when it, when possible. Coming home, you know, three in the afternoon, four in the afternoon and sitting on the couch and falling asleep and then waking up at 5, 5:30 and being like, I got too much of a nap. Now I'm really weight awake and like at 10, 11, 12 tonight when Amy wants to go to bed, I'm going to be wide awake.

[Dale Jr.]

Mm.

[Amy]

But it's fun napping in the middle of the day. I used to not want to do it, but now I'm, I'm more.

[Dale Jr.]

You enjoy it into it.

[Travis]

Love a nap at like 12:00pm 1:00pm on the couch.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah. Especially like on a Saturday.

[Travis]

Yeah. Windows open. If it's kind of just a quick one. Yeah. Would you rather never use the bathroom again or never have to sleep again?

[Dale Jr.]

Whoa.

[Amy]

I, I prefer not to ever have to sleep again.

[Dale Jr.]

I prefer to never have to use the bathroom.

[Amy]

Really?

[Travis]

I think that's the easy one. I like sleeping.

[Dale Jr.]

I like sleeping a lot. I like the bed. I like the sheets. I like the coziness. What if, I guess you could still lay in the bed?

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Travis]

What if you're at a concert and you're used restroom, like traveling.

[Amy]

Oh my gosh. Okay. Yeah, that's a good point. You know when you, when you're in a place where you can't comfortably use

[Dale Jr.]

the restroom so like you don't have to. It's just not a thing.

[Travis]

Yeah. Just not a thing. It just goes away.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Travis]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Turn it off.

[Travis]

You're at the bar drinking beers.

[Dale Jr.]

Yep.

[Travis]

You have to worry about breaking the seal.

[Amy]

Okay. You're winning me over. I didn't mind, you know, so like it's, it's a man thing to, you know, go and sit in the toilet and grab a paper. Oh, racing magazine or something.

[Dale Jr.]

That's true.

[Amy]

And be there for like 20 minutes.

[Dale Jr.]

Chicks don't do that.

[Amy]

Or set up, you know, set up your iPad and watch some YouTube.

[Dale Jr.]

You what?

[Travis]

I think it.

[Dale Jr.]

You set up your iPad and watch YouTube in the bathroom.

[Amy]

Yeah. Watch videos about card collecting.

[Dale Jr.]

Do you watch videos?

[Travis]

No. So, like, my dad would go read a book. Me, I'm in and out. I can do the same thing on my couch. Yeah, I guess maybe you're like. Maybe when you're like a husband with kids, like, that's a way to get some, like, alone time.

[Amy]

I'm just. It's not.

[Dale Jr.]

I have. I saw that on my phone yesterday too. That men spend up to seven years of their life in the bathroom hiding from their family.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Travis]

Did you do it when you're a single Dale?

[Amy]

No. No, I didn't see you hide from

[Dale Jr.]

your family in the back.

[Amy]

No.

[Dale Jr.]

Damn.

[Amy]

No, I just go in there and get a little by myself time and

[Dale Jr.]

just kind of the same thing. We don't have like a chair back on the toilet. Weirdo.

[Travis]

An airplane pillow.

[Amy]

Oh, my God. I can hear them.

[Dale Jr.]

Oh, my.

[Amy]

Just kidding. I'm just kidding.

[Dale Jr.]

You didn't do it right. You didn't go far enough away.

[Amy]

I'm just kidding. I. I like to go in there. I feel we have a little basket and I fill it up with racing.

[Dale Jr.]

I'm gonna take all that out of there. There's racing magazines and a little table. There's too much stuff in the bathroom.

[Amy]

Oh, yeah. And so I put these in their old, old programs from like the 50s and 60s and 70s. And I will read them. And this is my. This is one of my favorite things to do. I was sitting in there the other day reading an old Darlington program from the 50s. And they had an advertisement. I look at all the advertisements. They had this advertisement and it's like the. The Comfort Inn. Come have a steak. And it's this really cheesy, you know, single floor motel that existed in South Carolina and Darlington county back in the 50s. And I'll get on my phone and look, Google Earth the address and see what's still there. It's still there. And it'll be like, you know, abandoned or broken down or half busted up or remodeled and bigger or whatever, right? And you're like, holy, you know what businesses are still around? I got Daytona 500 programs and stuff. And just seeing what businesses are still operating like decades later, I found this whole transmission shop that's still owned by this family. Still family ran that was open in the 50s. And you're like, damn, they made it through everything, right? So that's kind of what I like to do when I'm on the toilet.

[Dale Jr.]

Genealogy.

[Travis]

You need to start freezing.

[Dale Jr.]

Genealogy.

[Amy]

Totally useless.

[Travis]

You gotta fight fire with fire. I mean, you got. We go in there now, spend 30 minutes in the bathroom.

[Dale Jr.]

I, I can't get five seconds in the bathroom without little fingers tapping on the door. If I don't have the door, the door is gonna fly right open and stay open. So, yeah, I don't get that. Privacy. The kids are just like trying to put their little finger on the door.

[Amy]

Amy is one of the Amy's. Amy is a person that when she uses the restroom, she turns the fan on and leaves it on. And so, and you know, she'll leave the restroom fans running. Fan just runs and runs, runs. And I don't know when it turns itself off or she turns it off

[Dale Jr.]

or I think, I think it's got like a thing.

[Amy]

It does turn.

[Dale Jr.]

The one upstairs has a timer. The one downstairs is not right.

[Amy]

And so I always know when she's used the bathroom because the fan's running. And I'll start, I guess you can even go, I'll start to go open the door. She goes, don't you go in there.

[Dale Jr.]

That's not true.

[Amy]

Yes, you do go use another one. You go use another one. Don't you go in there.

[Dale Jr.]

That's not true.

[Amy]

Yes, it is true. You know it's true. You can't admit it.

[Dale Jr.]

God, you're embarrassing.

[Amy]

Finally, rules are reversed on this show.

[Travis]

Yeah, we got one on Amy now.

[Dale Jr.]

Well, hey, Dale, that's what the fans. You might want to try using it the next time you go in there.

[Travis]

So when I go in, light a candle or something.

[Amy]

When I go in there, I watch

[Dale Jr.]

so much TV and hit the fan button.

[Amy]

She's like, did you put the seat down? Did you turn the fan on?

[Dale Jr.]

I'm like, sometimes he leaves the door wide ass open. And he's sitting there like, can you have some manners?

[Amy]

Do all the things I do. Shut the door now. Because I want to. You know, our little girls, I don't want them to think you shoot you with the door wide open.

[Dale Jr.]

But they don't need to see daddy doing that either.

[Amy]

Yeah, that's true.

[Dale Jr.]

There's so many elements here we used

[Amy]

when we didn't have kids. Dude, I didn't shut the door.

[Travis]

Well, I shut the door every time.

[Dale Jr.]

No, the man's an animal.

[Amy]

I'm inside my home, I'm door is shut. The front door.

[Travis]

Have some Decorum. Some couth.

[Amy]

I'm in there with Amy. It's just me and her.

[Dale Jr.]

We talked about this on the other show. He came in and sat behind me and poofed while I was brushing my teeth when I first met him.

[Travis]

Yeah, that's wild.

[Dale Jr.]

He's got no cool.

[Amy]

We are in a. We were in a loft. There was nowhere else to go.

[Dale Jr.]

I still think, like, there's waited for me to finish brushing my teeth.

[Travis]

I think that's one boundary that should just stay like separated with you and your significant other. The door should just be closed.

[Dale Jr.]

Is number two.

[Travis]

Yes.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Travis]

I personally think, number one, it should be closed.

[Amy]

Nine times out of ten. I agree with you. But then this particular instance, we were, we were in a. We're in tight spot. I had to go and I wasn't. She's in there. I'm like, I don't know how long she's going to need in this bathroom.

[Dale Jr.]

No, there's no conversation about it either. All right. Yeah, that's it. Well, yep.

[Amy]

I was like, hey, this is the one. And if she can handle this, we're good to go.

[Dale Jr.]

And that's what he said.

[Amy]

That's what I told you.

[Dale Jr.]

That's what it's gonna be, lady.

[Amy]

Yep. That's not. I didn't say lady.

[Dale Jr.]

You didn't, but that's what you. That's what the connotation was like, if you want to hang out with me, this is how it's going to be. Yeah, like, ugh, no, it isn't. I think I went too fresh in my mouth.

[Dale Jr.]

hi y'.

[Amy]

All.

[Dale Jr.]

Dale and I are in the Dirtymon Media Studios for another round of Ask Amy. We're excited for your questions. What you got Travis?

[Travis]

First question people want to know is are you guys up to date on the rocket launch? Where are you guys at with that?

[Dale Jr.]

Yes. So I thought today was Friday when I woke up and I dressed Nicole in a red, white and blue outfit for school and she watched Artemis videos on the NASA page all the way to school. We're excited about it. I've been following along.

[Amy]

What does that have to do with Friday?

[Dale Jr.]

You thought today they land tomorrow? Oh, I thought it was today and I was kind of excited this morning because that part's like the tough part. Just as exciting if not more nerve wracking than the takeoff.

[Amy]

Yeah. I will be tuned in for all

[Dale Jr.]

of that tomorrow at 8pm you get to watch it live night. They're going to land right off the coast of California.

[Travis]

Did you see where the commander named a crater Wife? If you could name something after Dale and Amy, each other, anything in like,

[Dale Jr.]

what would it be?

[Travis]

Yeah, would you want to?

[Dale Jr.]

I would. Dale Racetrack. Sorry, the short circuit. I would name an old racetrack after Dale.

[Amy]

What are you. Dale Earnhardt Jr. Speedway. Ralph Speedway.

[Dale Jr.]

Ralph. I don't know. Ralph's Roval.

[Travis]

The Ralph Raceway.

[Amy]

Ralph Roval.

[Dale Jr.]

Oh, I don't know.

[Amy]

I hate the Roval.

[Dale Jr.]

I know you don't like the Roval. We can figure it out. But I feel like a racetrack would be appropriate. I don't think. I don't know. Can't like, name a tree after you. That would feel weird.

[Travis]

A crater doesn't really seem. I mean, it's cool, but like if you could find a star that's never

[Dale Jr.]

been found before so you can dedicate stars to people. But I feel like I would name it. You have to be an astronaut.

[Amy]

I would name it.

[Dale Jr.]

Know the craters of the moon?

[Amy]

I would name and have that.

[Dale Jr.]

Right.

[Amy]

I would name an orchid after Amy. There's multiple styles and different orchids.

[Travis]

A hybrid.

[Amy]

Hybrid orchid. Orchid. Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

Romantic.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

I mean, his wife passed away and he has two daughters and he's in this rocket ship and he like people say that you've hung the moon. You know what I mean? So I think there was some connotation to that and like naming the crater after his wife.

[Travis]

And I'm guessing like, they probably.

[Amy]

Fantastic. And I mean, crater Carol. Yeah. Think about it. This dude's seen the moon unlike any other. Any other person.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Besides the other people in the capsule. And they've seen this. They've seen the moon from a perspective that will never understand.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah. And I think it was special for all of them. It was pretty cool, dude.

[Amy]

They talked about it. They were like. I can't even put. The guy was literally saying humans aren't equipped with the vocabulary to explain what we're seeing. We can't articulate it.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah, we.

[Amy]

We can't.

[Dale Jr.]

Can't quantify it.

[Amy]

That was really the most profound thing that I remember hearing.

[Dale Jr.]

I feel like I need a better answer than a racetrack, but I can't come up with one. I don't know.

[Travis]

I think if you have like a popular drink, a drink that like, everyone knew about. Instead of like, imagine if the mimosa was like the Amy.

[Amy]

Well, we have the Dahlia.

[Dale Jr.]

That's true. We do have a dahlia drink.

[Travis]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Hopefully. That's gonna be badass. And they're going nationwide with that.

[Dale Jr.]

They are. Excuse me. This week?

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

Next week.

[Amy]

Next week.

[Travis]

Wait, nationwide?

[Dale Jr.]

They're gonna go nationwide with the Dahlia next week.

[Amy]

Dahlia. Every Texas Roadhouse. Yep, it's good. It's like Creamsicle, I think, on the 15th.

[Dale Jr.]

Tax Day. Dahlia day.

[Amy]

Now, Dahlia, you could name, like, a really handy, practical tool after me, like a house, you know, a household.

[Dale Jr.]

Like some kind of a socket wrench.

[Amy]

Something that was like, every day. Every day.

[Dale Jr.]

Maybe the dent getter outer that I used to hammer up the fixtures with. That would be the deal. I don't know. That's a tough one. That's a tough question.

[Amy]

Speaking of which. And I need to. I need to ask everybody who's watching. We have a. We have a photo to hang. A big framed tapestry is what it's called, I guess.

[Dale Jr.]

The Dangerous Summer Tapestry. It's a big flag. And I had it framed finally for Isla's room. Gigantic.

[Amy]

Well, all right. So for all of my life, everybody on this. On the stream. I need some help. We've been hanging photos. You know, they've got you. You did. You had the string across the back, and you hung it on the string, and you did this. And then sometimes there might be some hooks on each side, or you could do the. The Z clip. The Z clip. Well, now they're showing up, and they have these little sawtooth little things on the corners, Little zigzag. And I. I don't know what I'm supposed to do with that. I see that now. My. I got a mechanical mind, like, I can figure out. But I look at that on the back of the picture, and I go, what the am I supposed to do with this?

[Dale Jr.]

That actually gives you more leeway. So, like, he spins out when he sees this. I'm like, you don't understand. Like, if you get it just a little bit off, both teeth are so small that you cannot have it perfect and still get a straight nail.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Dirty Mo Media Announcer]

I'm putting two nails in the wall,

[Amy]

and it's gonna just. I'm gonna find a. Where. It's gonna find level somewhere.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Oh, I don't know.

[Dale Jr.]

So it had. It's still sitting on the floor. I picked this thing up, like, three weeks ago, and I'm usually the one that's like, I've got a list of things to do, but I'm slow to get to some of it. And so it took me forever to get this thing.

[Amy]

I'm sure I'm putting myself out here. I'm being vulnerable. I'm sure the Internet's gonna let me know. I'm sure our listeners are gonna let us know. Dude, it's simple. Just do. Just do. Bam, bam, bam. You're good. And I'm gonna go. All right, now it makes sense, but I don't think it makes sense to me. And I want to know who decided that this was like the now the way we're doing it. We did this. We had the string forever. Which wasn't perfect because, you know, you walk around the house and moving and it's kind of getting crooked and nothing ever. You know, every time you put something you hang a picture on a string, you're always kind of having to straighten it up. Yeah, but the Z clips are awesome. And there's other ways that we've hung stuff that just seems like easier than this little sawtooth thing on the corner. And I've got to hang this thing up.

[Dale Jr.]

He promised he would hang it.

[Amy]

And we're hanging it in a new wall that's been wallpapered.

[Dirty Mo Media Announcer]

Wallpaper.

[Dale Jr.]

Pressure's on.

[Amy]

Pressure's on.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Travis]

We got one guy here, Brad says it makes it more frustrating. So he agrees with you.

[Dale Jr.]

So here's the thing, too. The frame came with a template. So there's a giant piece of like butcher's paper.

[Amy]

I get it.

[Dale Jr.]

That shows you exactly. So you don't have to like go ham on the wall and worry about extra holes. I think that we'll be able to level that paper and do it and it'll be.

[Amy]

I get it. But I just feel like this is. Like this didn't make it easier.

[Travis]

So Jamie says take a piece of painter's tape and put it across the back marker exactly where you want the nails to go. And then put the painters tape on the wall, put your nails in, and then take the tape off.

[Amy]

That's a great way to do it. I just. We went from like one single mounting point in the wall to now having two. And now you gotta, like, you know, find the center of the wall. Now you gotta measure the distance between the two nails. Wherever the saw two things are. And you gotta do the, you know, find the center of that. And I mean, it's just like it's harder than it has to be.

[Dale Jr.]

You got this? I'm keeping.

[Amy]

And I'm going to get it up there. But it took us. I've had this tapestry thing from the Dangerous Summer Forever. And it's got these awesome balloons and things on it. It's beautiful. And we've had it forever. And I begged Amy to get it framed because Isla likes a couple of their songs. And this thing just fits her room.

[Dale Jr.]

It's so big that I took it to a couple of framers, and, like, we can't do anything that large. So I had to wait for this shop to open in Charlotte. They just opened in the last year.

[Amy]

She framed it in hot pink.

[Dale Jr.]

It's neon, like pink. Yeah.

[Amy]

It's badass.

[Dale Jr.]

We'll share a picture later when we get this super cool.

[Travis]

So we'll see in six months.

[Dale Jr.]

It's huge.

[Travis]

Next question is, did Nicole try the crybaby tear?

[Dale Jr.]

Yes, she did. Yeah, they both tried them. I tried them. I didn't think they were that sour. He had sour gumballs and all kinds of stuff in the bag to too. And she couldn't handle the gum.

[Amy]

No.

[Dale Jr.]

She actually came over and was, like, freaking out. She had to spit it in the sink.

[Amy]

Yeah, they liked it.

[Dale Jr.]

They loved them.

[Travis]

Which was her favorite?

[Dale Jr.]

The tears.

[Travis]

The tear.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy]

I like the gum.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah. I like the super, super sour stuff.

[Amy]

Nicole likes caramellos. The little caramels with the white stuff in the middle.

[Travis]

Okay.

[Amy]

That are in the wrapper.

[Dale Jr.]

I don't even know what that is. She likes chocolate.

[Amy]

Kelly loves them. Kelly always has them in her office.

[Dale Jr.]

Oh, I didn't know that.

[Amy]

The little caramel with the white center.

[Dale Jr.]

Oh, yeah.

[Amy]

Like a cream. I know you're talking about now that it's a stain. It's like a thing's been around for 100 years. It's like a very. But it's amazing. It's good. I love them too.

[Dale Jr.]

Sounds like something that would get stuck in your teeth.

[Amy]

It does. You have to be careful.

[Travis]

It'll take the crown with it.

[Dale Jr.]

Might take a crown, right?

[Amy]

Yeah. You got crowns. You gotta be careful.

[Travis]

Next question. If you could be an additional character in a TV show, what show would it be like? So it's. You're playing your. Like your.

[Amy]

I always wanted to be in the Office. Are you asking, like, what show would I plug myself into? I thought the Office was so badass, and I wanted to be in the Office.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah. What would be your role in the Office? Are you the IT guy?

[Amy]

Yeah. Perfect. I'm it that farts on everybody. Silent, deadly farts.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah. The guy that comes in with his shoes and his shirt, matching farts, and fixes everything. What's he gonna wear today? Is it gonna be orange on orange or blue and blue.

[Travis]

He's mismatched today. He's in a bad mood.

[Dale Jr.]

Oh, man, I've always wanted to be in Friends. I feel like that would be fun.

[Travis]

Did you see where the one person said that she felt like she was like the outcast or like the sixth friend recently? I forget who it was.

[Dale Jr.]

It Lisa.

[Amy]

Yeah, I figured it was her, if you had to guess.

[Dale Jr.]

Really?

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

Her character was, like.

[Amy]

Character was very, you know, in a

[Dale Jr.]

way, disconnected from the others. The other ones all had history together.

[Amy]

Yeah. And she never was romantic with any of them.

[Travis]

Claims nobody cared about her.

[Dale Jr.]

Oh, no. I feel like her character was, like, important. It kept everyone. It kept it, like, funny.

[Amy]

Held the glue. She was glue.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Remember when she got the sore throat or something and could sing?

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah. Smelly cat.

[Amy]

Yeah. She had like a frog in her

[Dale Jr.]

throat or something and then she coughed it up and she's like, oh, ew, ew, it's gone.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

And she hated her natural voice. Yeah. Oh, that sucks. I've seen a lot lately about Matthew Perry.

[Amy]

Her character was really the only one you could trust. She was the only one with any real sense. All the other ones were. Yeah, the other ones were like, just

[Dale Jr.]

sitting emotional basket cases.

[Amy]

Yeah, they were just a lot.

[Dale Jr.]

Except for Joey. He was pretty consistent.

[Amy]

Yeah, Joey was great.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah, he was.

[Travis]

Do you ever watch the show Suits?

[Dale Jr.]

I did. I binged the Suits show.

[Amy]

She did do that.

[Travis]

I would like to be on that show.

[Dale Jr.]

Me.

[Travis]

No, I would.

[Dale Jr.]

Oh, you want to be on that show?

[Travis]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

What would you. What would your role be? Are you like, just.

[Travis]

Just another.

[Dale Jr.]

Like just another warrior hanging out in

[Travis]

the office, living it up.

[Amy]

I would add Cheers to my list.

[Dale Jr.]

Oh, yeah, Cheers would be good.

[Amy]

I would love to Just been set, you know, just been an extra, sitting at the bar, just watching all that happen.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah, that would have been fun.

[Travis]

That'd be a good one.

[Amy]

Wouldn't have been fun. Just company.

[Dale Jr.]

Would have been.

[Amy]

Norm to walk in.

[Dale Jr.]

What? Norm.

[Amy]

Wouldn't have been fun. Just to sit there waiting on Norm to come in any moment. Norm, could you yell it? You know what Dumb stuff. Woody Harrell was gonna say that.

[Dale Jr.]

Well, yeah, that would have been fun watching Woody Harrelson.

[Amy]

Yeah, Woody Harrelson. Sorry, got his name wrong.

[Dale Jr.]

I feel like you could actually.

[Amy]

I watched that show a lot too.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy]

I remember when Fox, so I remember when Fox first started doing sitcoms, they bought the rights to, like, a bunch of. Of old shows. So they had night. They had like a two hour block where there was Night Court, the Golden Girls, maybe Cheers. There's like four shows and it was every night seven to nine. And I watched it when I was. I was still in high school. And you wouldn't think, you know, that I would be sitting there watching Cheers.

[Dale Jr.]

You should have more grace between playing

[Amy]

and less Cheers between playing my original Nintendo. Legends of Zelda.

[Dale Jr.]

What a balance. Legends of Zelda.

[Amy]

Such a time to be alive.

[Travis]

Her played Legends of Zelda.

[Amy]

I played Legends of Zelda, but it was frustrating.

[Dale Jr.]

Is that the game that was gold?

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah. I feel like I had that game,

[Amy]

but I didn't know that you just walked in these silly same very repetitive rooms trying to figure out what rock to move or how to figure out how to unlock something.

[Dale Jr.]

Sounds pretty boring.

[Amy]

It was pretty boring. But you know, it's just like anything else. It when, when I remember it in my head, like playing Mario Brothers, original Mario Brothers, Legends of Zelda, Double Dribble, all those games. Excite Bike. They were amazing. We played them hours and hours and hours over and over and over and over. And then me and you bought the original Nintendo and I bought like 150 used games and we plugged it in, started playing it. We're like, this is terrible.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Like the graphics can't make this out. What is this? You know, it's awful.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah.

[Amy]

And we were playing on like a 13 inch television back in the 80s.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah. Well, that's why this is badass. The picture was better because it was so much smaller. It wasn't programmed, you know, to be on the bigger screen.

[Amy]

40 inch TV or something. Yeah, it's funny.

[Travis]

One more question. Here is Amy, do you have a meal that you like to cook that the rest of the family doesn't like?

[Amy]

But it's like you're like all of

[Dale Jr.]

them fall into that category right now. My kids don't want to eat anything. I cook and I used to cook a lot for Dale and I love cooking. I used to just like get in the kitchen and whatever I had, I would make something. There wasn't like a recipe and what. You know, it usually turned out pretty well. And these days I feel like I've lost my touch. I tried to meal prep the other day and I didn't have any white rice. And like one of those rice bowl things that you see people bake off in the oven. And I had brown rice and it was still crunchy. And I cooked that for twice as long as it said to because brown rice takes forever. And it was terrible. I couldn't even Eat it. And Dale's. Dale put. Gets the chips out and was, like, scooping it and eating it with tortilla chips. I'm like, is that what you have to do to, like, psych yourself up to eat it and pretend like the whole thing's supposed to be crunchy with a chip? It was terrible. So I don't really. I don't feel like I've lost my touch, but I don't know.

[Travis]

Dale, is there a meal that you like?

[Amy]

Well, you've done some curry dishes. I'm not a big curry fan.

[Dale Jr.]

No. He hates curry. So if I do, like, a coconut milk curry situation.

[Amy]

Yeah. I don't like that.

[Dale Jr.]

Not eating that.

[Amy]

Anything with just a soup that I

[Dale Jr.]

make that like that.

[Amy]

If it has. What's the herb that I don't like?

[Dale Jr.]

Cilantro.

[Amy]

Cilantro. It's got cilantro on it. Like, it's dead. Dead. No. For me.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah. I feel like I've learned my lesson there. I don't even buy cilantro just in case.

[Amy]

Remember when we were. We had. We had something going on there for a while where there was, like. We were eating. There was a dish or something we were eating, and we had. It was like. It was sand. Remember? It had grid or something?

[Dale Jr.]

Yes. That was the salt. I bought the salt from. Freaking home goods, dude.

[Amy]

We. For a year.

[Dale Jr.]

Granules of sand in it.

[Travis]

What?

[Dale Jr.]

Yes.

[Amy]

For a year, I thought.

[Dale Jr.]

We thought it was the quinoa. I was. I would rinse the quinoa. He's like, I hate that. And so ever since then, he refuses to eat quinoa because he thinks it's.

[Travis]

How did you find out it was the sun for.

[Amy]

You know, for a while, let's say 10 to 12 months. We're like, you know, every once a week, you know, we'd be having dinner, and I'm like, what the hell? It's like sand. It's just like. It'd be, like, one granular in your whole meal. That would be.

[Dale Jr.]

Ruined the whole.

[Amy]

But it would ruin it because you're, like, through that. That is definitely not supposed to be in there.

[GM Genuine Parts Announcer]

Yeah.

[Amy]

And then you're like, I'm not gonna eat the rest of this. I don't want to eat. I don't want to bite into a piece of sand.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah. It was like a pink Himalayan sea salt grinder, and it had sand in it.

[Amy]

Damn right. I figured that out. Good, because it did go away. It did disappear. You know, Amy never told me. She just was like, yeah, throwing that away. I Won't tell anybody.

[Dale Jr.]

Well, it wasn't planned. I'm like, I figured it out, but

[Amy]

I'm not gonna let them know that they're say, the coast is clear. No more sand in your food. I remember that. That was a tough era.

[Dale Jr.]

It was. It was frustrating for the cook, too. She's like, putting all this effort in what I told Amy.

[Amy]

I was like, I think I've got dirt or sand in my. She's like, what? No, you don't.

[Travis]

Are you sure it was sand or was it just the salt wasn't getting like.

[Dale Jr.]

No, it was absolutely. Because the salt will melt down.

[Amy]

And it took.

[Dale Jr.]

It was sand.

[Amy]

Yeah. I mean, for like three or four weeks. She was like, super insulted that I would even.

[Dale Jr.]

Well, he's always the one to, like, get the hair. If I, like, don't have my hair tied up, he gets the hair in his food or he gets the fishbone or. And then, like, now it's sand. So for a hot minute there, I'm like, oh, my God.

[Amy]

That's another thing.

[Dale Jr.]

If you just don't like it, just say you don't like it. You don't have to blame it on sand.

[Amy]

That's another thing. The fish bones, like, we'll. I hate that.

[Dale Jr.]

It does suck when you get fresh fish. That's not farm raised. They have little tiny fish pones in them sometimes.

[Amy]

Let's not eat them. Let's just not eat it.

[Dale Jr.]

Well, I don't get fish very often, but I'm not.

[Amy]

No, but, like, I do not like to sit down, no matter how good it tastes, and eat something going, hope I don't get a fishbone. Got it. Got a fishbone today. I mean, we're. I'm sitting there eating it. We. You fix something about.

[Dale Jr.]

You will eat through a chicken wing and pull the bones out of your mouth and you'll eat through the fish bones.

[Amy]

Are these tiny little things you can't even see and you don't even know you got one. It's kind of like the grain of salt or the sand. You'll. You'll go, nope, there it is. Found one. And let's try not to choke. So let me get that out of there. And it's okay. Not. I don't enjoy it.

[Travis]

I'm with Dale on this one. Like, you go to a fancy restaurant, you order a fish and, like, they bring out the whole fish. I'm like, y' all couldn't have. Like, I don't.

[Amy]

If I know it's coming out on the bone, I'M I've ordered it. I chose it. But at home, we get salmon fillets, and sometimes they'll have bones in them. I'm like, damn. Like, let's just cut the filet in such a way that doesn't have that.

[Travis]

I agree.

[Amy]

Right. Let's just not. That shouldn't be like. I just would rather not eat it. I'd rather cook a piece of steak or something.

[Dale Jr.]

Okay, well, no more fish.

[Amy]

I do want fish. There is fish. I know it exists.

[Dirty Mo Media Announcer]

That doesn't have bones in it.

[Dale Jr.]

You don't buy it knowing that.

[Amy]

You don't.

[Travis]

Yeah, you do.

[Dale Jr.]

No. Like, when you get it from the counter, you don't know that it's got a bunch of tiny. The last time I cooked it, they were so tiny, I couldn't even pull them out. With, like, my little tweezer things I have, they were super small, which just makes it worse.

[Travis]

If it's big, you can see it.

[Amy]

You can.

[Dale Jr.]

When they were little, they were so little. Like, they weren't stabbing the roof of your mouth.

[Amy]

We're sitting there. We're sitting there.

[Dale Jr.]

Before he even eats it, I'm like, disclaimer.

[Amy]

No. I was halfway through the bowl.

[Dale Jr.]

That's not true.

[Amy]

And she goes, hey, by the way, might be a bone or two in there. Just be careful.

[Dale Jr.]

That's not true. I handed you the bowl and told

[Amy]

you that this is a turn of events. And so I finished the food, and I get over to the table, or I get over to the kitchen and put my bowl away and whatever. Put my bowl in the sink, and there's still some fillets there. And I'm like, I have one more bite, and I take a little bite, and sure enough, like, three or four little, tiny little bones.

[Dale Jr.]

So you did it to yourself.

[Dirty Mo Media Announcer]

And I'm like, hey, why are we giving people.

[Amy]

Why we sending people? Why do we send this home, you know, with people carrying home fish with bones in it? What we're doing, I don't know.

[Dale Jr.]

Does everybody complain about this?

[Travis]

I would

[Amy]

show of hands. Everyone in the room.

[Travis]

Everyone's gonna side with Amy.

[Amy]

If you knew a piece of filet was possibly gonna have bones in it, would you buy it and take it home?

[Travis]

Jay is the only one.

[Amy]

Jay. Okay. He's a wild man.

[Dale Jr.]

It's like having a steak with gristle on it. Like, you just gotta eat around it.

[Amy]

Yeah. You think gristle is like, bones?

[Dale Jr.]

Worse.

[Amy]

Worse than bones.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah. She doesn't Freaking meat fat. I am out. I'm done eating.

[Amy]

Yeah. Same way with chicken.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah, if I get a weird.

[Amy]

Amy doesn't eat anything on the bottom.

[Dale Jr.]

Like it bite into the hole or something.

[Amy]

She won't eat ribs. What?

[Travis]

You only eat ribs.

[Amy]

She doesn't like her teeth.

[Dale Jr.]

My teeth are not hitting that bone.

[Amy]

Hit the bone.

[Dale Jr.]

The same thing with chicken wings. Like, I'm not eating through skin.

[Travis]

What if it's gonna fall off the bone?

[Dale Jr.]

I mean, I can take a piece of chicken and like, pull it and like full chicken and fine, I can touch it, but I'm not fighting it.

[Amy]

She's not gonna eat a drumstick. She's not gonna eat a rib.

[Dale Jr.]

That could be a vein in there.

[Amy]

A vein?

[Travis]

But you'll eat fish with bones.

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah, I mean, I don't purposely eat the bones.

[Amy]

Dude. Hey, I like what you did there.

[Dale Jr.]

They're not. They're not the same texture.

[Amy]

I hear you. This is interesting. Just.

[Dale Jr.]

I don't know, it's weird. I'm a quirky gal. I don't know what to say. Yeah, I don't know. The gristle and all that stuff is like, you can't chew through it. You got to just mentally go, okay, got to swallow that. It's going to have to go down the hatch.

[Travis]

Yep, I think that's a good place to end.

[Dale Jr.]

Thank you for your questions. We've had a good show. Please.

[Amy]

Did we even take anybody's questions?

[Dale Jr.]

Yeah, just a bunch of conversation there. Sorry.
