The Dale Jr. Download blends family chaos, vacation stories, and racing talk. Amy and Dale unpack how their toddler “hot grabby hands” accidentally freed Dale’s wooden wedding ring from its box, then pivot to Dale smashing his phone in St. Martin while driving a doorless moke over rough roads. The phone’s crash alerts trigger emergency texts, leading to a frantic hunt using an iPad with 1% battery. Between sponsor drinks and workwear ads, they also discuss Talladega memories, kids’ preschool “muffins with mom,” and a surprisingly deep debate on soap, deodorant, and body-wash habits.
Dale and Amy are back with one of those episodes where things take a few unexpected turns in the best way. It starts with missing rings at home and somehow turns into Dale losing his phone on vacation… let’s just say Amy wasn’t thrilled in the moment, but now she’s making sure everyone knows. That kicks off a full search with alerts going off and everyone trying to track it down. Add in beach bars, strong batch drinks, and a few moments they definitely didn’t see coming, and you’ve got a trip they won’t forget anytime soon.
They also get into the real side of things, from balancing racing and family to the emotions that come with it, especially after a scary on-track moment that had Dale wishing he was there with the team. Then it’s straight into Ask Amy, where nothing is off limits. They debate the most annoying Disney princess, unpacking habits after vacation, get into some very questionable shower routines, and even touch on everything from deodorant to 3-in-1 shampoo. Watch the full episode and let us know your answers in the comments.

GMOE or gold and silver aftermarket parts
"and models and choose from three tiers of parts, including GMOE or gold and silver aftermarket parts. Visit GMparts.com for more information."
They’re talking about different “levels” of replacement parts. Some are closer to factory-style (GMOE), while others are more budget-oriented aftermarket options.
The ad is describing GM’s tiered parts lineup: GMOE (GM Original Equipment) and other aftermarket tiers (labeled “gold” and “silver”). These tiers generally indicate different levels of sourcing/spec and intended positioning versus OE.

Term
moke or a mokey
"And we have rented what they call a moke or a mokey. At one point when we were going through golf cart stuff, I wanted to buy one of these..."
A “Moke” is a tiny, simple open vehicle—kind of like a golf cart, but more like a basic utility car. People rent them for short trips around towns or resorts, especially where roads are rough or slow.
A “Moke” (often referring to the Mini Moke) is a small, open-top utility vehicle that’s commonly described as a glorified golf cart. It’s known for its simple, lightweight design and basic, off-road-ish use in coastal or resort areas.
"At one point when we were going through golf cart stuff, I wanted to buy one of these and Dale was against it."
A golf cart is a small, slow vehicle people drive around golf courses. Here, they’re using it as a reference to explain what the rented vehicle is like.
Golf carts are small, low-speed vehicles typically used on golf courses or for short local trips. In this context, they’re used as a comparison point to explain the Moke’s size and purpose.
"And so we're taking this thing back and forth on these rough roads down to the little town center. And it was a rough ride."
They’re driving it on bumpy, uneven roads. That makes a small, basic vehicle feel rougher and less comfortable than a regular car.
“Rough roads” is a key clue that the vehicle is being used on uneven surfaces, which can make open, lightweight vehicles feel especially bouncy and exposed. It also helps explain why the ride is described as rough compared to normal street driving.
"And it was a rough ride. There's no doors on this thing and the sides of it scoop super low."
No doors means it’s an open vehicle—more like a cart than a normal car. On bumpy roads, you’re more exposed, so you have to be extra careful.
“No doors” indicates an open-sided vehicle design, which changes how you ride—less weather protection and less side impact protection. It also affects how secure you feel on rough roads because there’s less physical barrier.
"Listen, the thing was completely annihilated and it was sending out code red alerts to all of his emergency contacts. Like he has been in a crash."
Some phones can automatically message a couple of trusted people if they think you’ve been in an accident. The goal is to get someone to check on you quickly, even if you can’t call.
“Emergency contacts” refers to a phone feature that can automatically notify pre-selected people when a crash is detected. It’s meant to speed up help by alerting someone immediately with the situation and location.
"Like he has been in a crash. So this phone flew out of his pocket because he just had a swim trunks on... It's so smart because either when it hit the ground or when a car ran over it, it sends an alert to my two emergency contacts, Amy and Kelly."
Some devices can tell when you’ve had a serious crash. If they think it happened, they can automatically send an alert and your location to people you trust.
Crash detection alerts are built into some smartphones and smartwatches. When sensors detect a severe impact or unusual motion, the device can trigger an SOS message and share location data with emergency contacts.
"Well, it's that audio. It's so smart because either when it hit the ground or when a car ran over it, it sends an alert to my two emergency contacts, Amy and Kelly. Well, Amy's phone is in her purse..."
“SOS” here means the phone is calling for help automatically. It can also tell your contacts where you are so they can respond faster.
In this context, “SOS” is the emergency signaling behavior where the phone sends an alert to emergency contacts after detecting a crash. It’s typically paired with location sharing so responders or contacts know where to look.
"Okay. We're looking and I've got my Garmin watch on and anytime I get near my phone with the Garmin watch, I'm going to get the text messages and all the alerts."
A Garmin watch is a smartwatch. It can connect to your phone and tell you when you’re getting messages or alerts.
A Garmin watch is a smartwatch that can pair with a phone to deliver notifications and alerts. In this segment, it’s being used to indicate when the phone is nearby, so the wearer can react quickly.
"So we, I'm not sharing my location with Amy, which I didn't realize that we always have. And so I'm going on her phone trying to find mine. And it's, it's like giving me a general area, not necessarily it's on the street."
Phone location tracking uses your phone’s location services. If location sharing isn’t set up right, it might only show a rough area instead of the exact location.
Location tracking relies on your phone’s GPS and/or network signals, and it often depends on whether location sharing is enabled. When sharing is limited, you may only get a broad area (city/state) instead of an exact spot like “on the street.”
Concept
connected-car / smartphone incident alerts
"How, and how cool is that technology that it sent out to my emergency contacts that there
was an issue and that it was destroyed by how many, maybe I ran over it multiple times
going back to look for it.
Certainly other cars hit it and it was still good enough, right?
To be screaming, here I am."
Even if a device is broken or you can’t see the screen, some systems can still send an alert and share where you are. That’s the same general idea behind many car safety and tracking features.
This segment highlights the broader idea of connected devices/vehicles sending alerts even when the primary device is damaged. The key takeaway is that some systems can still transmit location or status to others despite the screen being unusable.
"And he's like, well, man, let's just get out. [1156.9s] It's got to be here somewhere, man. [1158.0s] Let's just get out. [1158.7s] Let's pull over, man. [1159.6s] He's trying to calm Dale down."
Pull over just means you pull the car to the side and stop. It’s safer than trying to figure things out while still driving.
“Pull over” means moving the car to the side of the road to stop safely. In driving situations like this, it’s often used when navigation or visibility is unclear and the driver needs to check something without continuing to drive.
"You need work wear that can keep up with changing conditions,
[1389.3s] and true work has you covered.
[1391.0s] The T2 WorkPaint keeps you comfortable over a wide range of conditions."
True Work is a clothing brand. They’re talking about work pants that are meant to handle different weather while you’re working outside.
True Work is an apparel brand being promoted in the segment. They’re positioned as making workwear designed for changing weather so you can stay comfortable while working outside.
Company
T2 WorkPaint
"[1391.0s] The T2 WorkPaint keeps you comfortable over a wide range of conditions.
[1394.0s] These pants have four-way stretch for bending,
[1396.9s] kneeling, and climbing."
T2 WorkPaint is the name of a specific type of work pants being promoted. They’re saying it’s comfortable and made to handle different weather while you work outside.
T2 WorkPaint appears to be the name of a specific workwear product line being advertised. The segment claims it’s comfortable across changing conditions and highlights stretch and water resistance as key features.
"[1394.0s] These pants have four-way stretch for bending,
[1396.9s] kneeling, and climbing.
[1398.2s] A water-resistant finish to shed rain"
Four-way stretch means the fabric can stretch in more than one direction. That makes it easier to move when you’re bending or climbing while working.
Four-way stretch describes fabric that can stretch in multiple directions, typically improving mobility for activities like bending, kneeling, and climbing. In workwear, it helps reduce restriction when you’re moving around for long periods.
"[1398.2s] A water-resistant finish to shed rain
[1400.0s] and nine intelligent pockets to keep tools
[1402.0s] just where you need them."
Water-resistant finish means the material is treated to help repel rain. It won’t necessarily keep you completely dry like a waterproof jacket, but it helps.
A water-resistant finish means the fabric is treated to repel water to some degree, helping keep you drier during rain or wet conditions. It’s not the same as being fully waterproof, but it can improve comfort and reduce soaking.
"[1400.0s] and nine intelligent pockets to keep tools
[1402.0s] just where you need them.
[1403.2s] When I'm outside working,"
They’re saying the pants have lots of pockets—nine of them—meant to help you organize your tools. It’s more about convenience than anything car-related.
“Nine intelligent pockets” is a product feature describing multiple storage compartments designed to organize tools. For listeners, it’s relevant mainly as a practical workwear detail rather than an automotive concept.
"I just got a text from Kelly. Carson flipped. Does Dale know? And I'm like, in my head, I'm thinking just destroyed parts flying everywhere."
When they say the car “flipped,” it means it rolled over during the crash. That usually happens in a big impact and can cause lots of damage and flying parts.
“Flipped” refers to a race crash where the car rolls over, often after contact or loss of control. In NASCAR-style racing, flips can happen when a car gets airborne or digs into the track surface, leading to major damage and debris.
"And I'm like, you know, we, you can flip it Daytona."
Daytona is a famous NASCAR track. The speaker is basically saying that at Daytona, crashes can get so intense that cars can flip over.
Daytona refers to Daytona International Speedway, a major NASCAR venue known for high-speed racing and frequent multi-car incidents. Saying “you can flip it Daytona” implies the track’s conditions and speeds can make crashes more violent.
Topic
cars tour
"And like this weekend, [1945.5s] we had the cars tour and care way. [1948.0s] We've got Talladega for the Xfinity and I've got to divide and conquer, try to go to one or the other."
A “cars tour” is a kind of racing weekend where drivers compete in stock cars. The hosts are talking about trying to attend it and another race at the same time.
The “cars tour” refers to a racing event/series where stock cars compete, typically at regional tracks. In this segment, it’s part of the speaker’s weekend schedule alongside other racing commitments.
"And like this weekend, [1945.5s] we had the cars tour and care way. [1948.0s] We've got Talladega for the Xfinity and I've got to divide and conquer, try to go to one or the other."
Xfinity is NASCAR’s second major series, kind of like a stepping-stone to the top NASCAR level. When they say “Talladega for the Xfinity,” they mean a NASCAR race weekend for that series.
“Xfinity” refers to the NASCAR Xfinity Series, which is the sport’s top developmental/feeder series below the Cup Series. Mentioning Xfinity signals the level and type of race the speaker is attending or supporting.
"I'm going to go to the cars tour because I'm after a couple weeks [1963.2s] ago. [1966.3s] I'm worried about those guys going to a little bull ring [1968.3s] and doing well."
A “bull ring” is a small race track with tight turns. Races there can feel crowded and chaotic, so it’s harder to stay out of trouble and do well.
A “bull ring” is a slang term for a small, tight race track that typically produces close racing and frequent traffic. The speaker is worried about the team doing well in that kind of environment, where positioning matters a lot.
"It started out with him just driving around with his truck, with a giant cooler in the back."
They’re just saying Danny used a pickup truck to get around. It sounds like he kept a big cooler in the back for drinks and hanging out.
A “truck” here is being used as the everyday vehicle for cruising around the area. The mention of a “giant cooler in the back” also hints at how the vehicle is being set up for casual outings rather than commuting.
"... But you drive down this little dirt road to the edge of this, of the beach."
The Ford Edge is a family-sized SUV that’s meant for normal road driving, but it can handle some rough surfaces. It’s often used for trips because it has room for people and gear. In the podcast, it sounds like it’s being used to reach a spot that’s not right on the main road.
The Ford Edge is a mid-size crossover SUV built for everyday driving with a comfortable ride and practical space. It’s the kind of vehicle that fits well with casual trips and light off-road use, like heading down a rough dirt road to reach a destination. It may come up in a podcast because it’s a common, versatile choice for getting to places where roads aren’t perfect.
"But you drive down this little dirt road to the edge of this, of the beach."
A dirt road is unpaved, so the tires can lose grip more easily than on pavement. You generally have to drive slower and be smoother to avoid getting stuck or sliding.
A “dirt road” implies unpaved surfaces with less traction and more bumps than pavement. That usually changes how you accelerate, brake, and steer to avoid slipping or bottoming out.
Concept
stalling on a steep descent
"The Moke would stalled if you went down the hill too fast... Turn it off, sort of cycle the power to get it going again, putting it in reverse."
When a car stalls on a hill, it usually means the engine isn’t getting the right conditions to keep running. Here, the fix was basically to slow down and change what the car was doing so the engine could restart and keep going.
Stalling on a steep descent can happen when engine speed and throttle/load conditions change abruptly—especially if the vehicle is forced into a low-speed, high-load, or unfavorable gear situation. The hosts’ workaround (“cycle the power,” then use reverse) suggests the engine management or drivetrain needed a reset to recover.
"...you get to the bottom of the hill and you mash the gas and it's not doing anything."
“Mashing the gas” means pressing the accelerator hard and fast. If the car doesn’t speed up when you do that, it usually means something is preventing the engine from responding.
“Mashing the gas” refers to a rapid, full-throttle input. If the engine doesn’t respond (as described here), it can point to a drivability issue such as stalling, fuel delivery problems, or a throttle/engine control condition that prevents immediate acceleration.
"...mash the gas and it's not doing anything. Turn it off, sort of cycle the power to get it going again, putting it in reverse."
“Cycle the power” just means shut the car off and restart it. People do this when a car acts weird or stalls, because rebooting can make it run normally again.
“Cycle the power” typically means turning the vehicle off and back on to reset the engine control system and clear a temporary fault. On older or mechanically simple cars, it can also help if the stall was caused by a transient fuel/air or sensor condition that clears after restart.
"So there was this guy and a buddy of ours and I was going to ride the Daytona with him for the races and he had a, oh, he had a Buick, a grand national badass car, which I want to own one, one day somehow."
The Buick Grand National is a famous older American performance car. People love it because it was built to be fast, and it has a turbocharged engine that gives it a lot of punch.
The Buick Grand National is a performance-focused muscle car from Buick’s late-1970s lineup, best known for its turbocharged V8 and strong straight-line performance. In enthusiast circles, it’s often associated with the “GN” era and a reputation for being quick and relatively rare compared with more common muscle cars.
"I just. The traction might just kick in. That's why I said it."
That phrase means the car finally starts gripping the road. When tires stop slipping and can “bite,” the car feels like it suddenly has traction and goes forward more effectively.
“Traction kick in” refers to the moment a car gains grip and can transfer engine power to the road instead of spinning the tires. This can be influenced by tire grip, drivetrain setup, and traction-control systems that reduce wheelspin.
"And so I'd flip that fan on a little light switch, turn that fan on, and I'd set the ashtray right next to the fan. And I had a fan cut into the wall and hose ran to the exterior of the house, kind of like a vent or vent for a dryer."
They installed a fan in the wall to push air out. That helps keep smoke smells from building up inside.
Cutting a fan into a wall is a form of ventilation that moves air out of a room. In this context, it’s being used to help control smoke/odor by exhausting air to the outside.
"And I had a fan cut into the wall and hose ran to the exterior of the house, kind of like a vent or vent for a dryer. And so I'd flip that fan on a little light switch, turn that fan on, and I'd set the ashtray right next to the fan."
The hose/duct carries air from inside to outside. It’s like how a dryer vent sends air out of the house.
Running a hose/duct to the exterior is a basic exhaust setup that routes air outside rather than recirculating it indoors. This is similar in concept to dryer venting, where hot or contaminated air is expelled outdoors.
"And I had one of them ashtrays where you could, you could flip it and it would drop everything into the can underneath. And so I'd sit there and have a cigarette."
An ashtray is where you put your cigarette ash and the cigarette when you’re done. Some types are made so you can dump everything out quickly.
An ashtray is a container used to hold cigarette ash and butts. Some ashtrays are designed to be emptied easily, which can reduce lingering odors in a room.
"And when we were at the racetrack, I had this little fan. So I had this couch on the interior of the bus and I'm watching TV and there's these windows right next to the couch."
A racetrack is a place built for racing cars. It’s where drivers and teams spend time before and after runs, so what happens “at the track” is usually tied to the racing schedule.
A racetrack is a controlled circuit where cars (and sometimes racing simulations) run laps under safety rules. In the context of this story, it’s where the speaker’s bus setup and smoking habit were happening around racing activity.
"So I had this couch on the interior of the bus and I'm watching TV and there's these windows right next to the couch. And I could, I could crank them open and they were just about, these windows were about five inches tall and they would, they would open up at an angle."
The “bus interior” is just the inside of the vehicle where people hang out. They’re describing how they used the windows and a fan to keep the air from getting smoky.
“Bus interior” here refers to the living/crew space inside a vehicle used for travel and downtime during racing. The speaker describes using small windows and a fan to manage smoke, which is a practical example of ventilation in a confined space.
Concept
withdrawal / "getting over the hump" after quitting smoking
"Once I got over the hump, it would took me about two months. And when I finally got over that hump, the actual smell of it made me disgusted and I didn't want to be near it."
Quitting nicotine can feel really rough at first. People often say there’s a “hard part” for a while, and then things get easier as your body adjusts.
The speaker describes the hardest phase of quitting smoking as a “hump,” after which cravings and habits become easier to manage. This is a common pattern with nicotine dependence: the body and brain adapt over weeks, and symptoms often peak early and then fade.
Concept
sense of smell changes after quitting cigarettes
"And I'm like, his sense of smell changed. Smoking. He got like his system cleansed out and then he could, his sense of smell came back."
When you stop smoking, your body can “reset,” and smells can feel way stronger than before. That can make cigarette smoke seem gross and hard to tolerate at first.
After quitting, the speaker says their sense of smell became more sensitive, making cigarette odor feel overwhelming. Nicotine and ongoing exposure can dull perception for some people, and once they stop, odors can seem much stronger.
"So I did go through the infield this happened during practice one day [3847.4s] We went and sat at the other opposite end of where we usually parked so I could see the car"
In a race track, the infield is the space inside the main oval. It’s often where teams park, work on cars, or where people can walk around.
The infield is the area inside the track’s oval where cars typically don’t drive during normal laps, but where teams, garages, and fan areas can be located. In NASCAR contexts, “going through the infield” usually means moving across that inner area rather than staying on the racing surface.
"So I did go through the infield this happened during practice one day [3847.4s] We went and sat at the other opposite end of where we usually parked so I could see the car ... It was just during practice."
Practice is when drivers run laps before the race to dial in their cars. It’s usually less chaotic than the race itself, but it’s still very important.
“Practice” refers to the on-track sessions before the main race where drivers test setups and learn how the car behaves. The segment places the story during practice, which helps explain why they’re talking about seeing cars and being in specific areas.
"But let's do a bless heart live from tall digger next year. Jesus [3862.0s] That would be fun"
Talladega is a famous NASCAR race track. It’s known for cars running very close together at very high speeds, so it’s a big deal for fans.
Talladega refers to Talladega Superspeedway, a NASCAR track known for high-speed pack racing. The hosts are talking about attending or broadcasting from the event, which is why the track name comes up here.
Term
play-by-play
"You think I'd be good at that. I'm just wondering if you'd even want to maybe we could have them ... You're doing the play-by-play. Yeah, play-by-play at the mud wrestling."
Play-by-play is when someone narrates what’s happening in real time. It’s the same idea as how race announcers talk during a live event.
Play-by-play is a broadcasting style where the announcer describes action as it happens, often with fast pacing and constant updates. Here it’s used metaphorically for calling a non-racing event, but it’s still a recognizable motorsport-adjacent media term.
Topic
Race here in North Carolina
"I went and watched him Race here in North Carolina All right, the one y'all reopened I forget because brain parts, but yeah, that was a great concert."
The hosts are referencing a NASCAR-style race in North Carolina, which is home to several major stock-car venues. Without the exact track name, it’s best treated as a general “NASCAR in NC” discussion.

Oh yeah, this is the way it's going to be, girl, if we're going to hang out, open a bunch
of jars, you got big strong hands.
Are you suffering from high crack?
I'm working.
Working that mouth.
You want to know some s***?
Yes.
For me today.
Well, just having this morning, you took Nicole to school, and so I've been missing
some things right on this, right at the front door.
It's like a new trend for Dale was in.
So I don't like regular rings, and I have these, you know, plastic bad boys that you
buy $10, $5, whatever on Amazon, and they come in fun with colors or whatever.
So I have a box of those right at the front door.
So if I want to change your outfit, change colors or whatever.
Yeah, yeah, I do.
Well, I went upstairs to say bye to Isla because I've been trying to show her a little more
affection and more attention.
Was she mad at you?
No, no, no.
Sorry, I just had a brain fart.
Did she kick you in the nuts?
One of my best, one of my favorite phrases is she kicked you in the nuts.
That's a great question.
Did she emotionally do that?
April said, hey, this is yours, I believe, and she held up a ring.
And she thought for sure it would be yours.
Was it one of those?
It was my wedding ring.
Huh?
My wooden.
How in the hell did that get out of the safe?
Who do you think picked it out of that box?
It wasn't in the safe?
It's in the box downstairs.
Nicole?
She took it up there into their playroom.
I got a confession then.
I'm missing my push present rings.
Those.
The pink ones.
Dude, I wore them.
I did not take my jewelry on vacation recently.
Yes, because I was wearing them last week and I didn't take my jewelry on vacation.
You know where you took them off?
Because I too tend to lose things.
Did you put them off?
They're usually in my jewelry thing.
So I think Nicole is wandering around.
I don't know when she's doing this because we're around her most of the time.
Well, we weren't the last weekend.
Well, yeah, a whole week, right?
Yeah.
So she got in the box and got your stuff.
Is it broken?
No, it's not.
But I now need to reevaluate where things are in the house.
I mean, I feel like that one should have been put away more.
You know, I have a little bit since you've literally never wear it.
I have a little bit of an understanding of why dad and Theresa put locks on all the
doors in the house now when I was a child.
And I sold $80 out of my dad's change.
They too lived with critters.
I mean, yeah, I feel you.
I went in my dad's bedroom and stole 80 bucks out of the big changed water jug
and to buy a Game Boy.
And now I know how that felt.
Yeah.
This is a little more serious.
We got some jewelry.
You've got some jewelry.
Well, different personal things missing.
I'm actually thinking I might put the wooden one, which is, Amy got me a wooden wedding ring.
It's made out of walnut.
It is.
At the time.
It is badass.
That we got married.
He refused to wear a metal band.
I don't even want you putting one on my hand when we get married.
And Kalo had not really come out with the silicone rings.
I think they were the first brand to really come out with those.
And so I was looking all over the internet to try to figure out what to do.
I think carbon fiber rings weren't anything yet either.
We've since figured those are a new thing.
And so he got a walnut wooden wedding band.
Gloss.
Pain is beautiful.
But also very fragile.
Yeah.
I'm not going to wear it all the time because fragile.
I wore it during the ceremony and all that because it's a ceremony, right?
It's a sign of identifier.
Yeah.
He took it off immediately after.
I would too.
Yeah.
If I ever get married, like I won't wear it.
Well, the silicone ones are, you can't even feel them.
Yeah.
That's what I would do.
I wear those too.
And I'm like doing other things and don't want to mess up my jewelry.
But man.
That's sinks.
I'm so glad that that wasn't like lost forever.
Well, you wouldn't have known forever.
Yes, I would have.
And I would have thought, how did I misplace it?
Where did I do it?
That's exactly the feeling I've had about my rings.
I'm ripping through my brain trying to find the files where the information
exists on where this thing is at.
And now I don't.
And I'm learning that it ain't actually my fault.
So you hate jewelry, but does the wooden one make you less?
Or is wooden and regular jewelry all the same?
It's really just the metal.
The metal.
Even if I wear jewelry and it's like shells or beads or like a leather bracelet or something
that he could care less.
It's just the metal stuff.
Gotcha.
Yes.
Can we get off this topic?
Well.
The conversation is around.
You've started this whole.
No, but you're changing the narrative.
Take it back.
We have a house critter stealing things in the house.
Our own critter stealing our things, little hot grabby hands and moving things around.
This is probably more upsetting because we went on vacation this last week and guess
who lost their phone before we get into the lost phone episode.
Wait a second.
Why don't we do a drink of the week?
Okay.
Come on, man.
You're coming.
They sponsored the show.
They're probably sitting here wondering when the fuck are they going to talk about the
vodka?
That's not what they're thinking.
Yes.
They too want to know what happened with your phone.
Well, we'll tell them just a moment after we talk about the sponsor by alcohol.
Oh, my gosh.
The week presented by high rock vodka.
This is the freezer door strawberry lemon drop.
Strawberry.
The freezer door strawberry lemon drop.
I mean, that's not long and hard to remember.
Listen, you can, you can make this in advance in a batch, which makes it very nice for parties.
Why the hell's a freezer door got to do with this?
You put it in the freezer.
That's where you store it there.
Oh, it's ready to rip.
It's a little tart.
It's tart, but it's good.
It's great for juice.
Let's see.
You could put ice on it if you wanted to kind of dumb it down.
There's four C of high rock vodka.
What's that mean?
Four cups of high rock vodka.
Four cups of high rock vodka.
So you can take the big boy, pour three and a half out and then add the rest to your drink.
One cup of fresh lemon juice.
It's okay if your lemon juice is five hours old or 10, but fresh is what you want.
Five hours?
Well, I don't know.
It's hit fresh and I was just going to make a joke because who's really got fresh lemon
juice laying around?
Well, it's jarred like you buy it or you squeeze it from your own lemons.
Buying it from the jar is not fresh.
No, that's what they're saying.
Fresh means you squeeze it yourself.
What if they only got the kind you get in a jar?
Still okay?
It'll be all right.
Yes, you're fine.
One cup of strawberry syrup.
It doesn't signify whether that needs to be fresh.
Three quarters of a cup of triple sec.
One half of a cup of water for dilution.
For what?
Dilution.
For dilution.
To dilute it.
Yep.
Dilution.
You combine all the ingredients in a newly released 1.75 liter high rock vodka bottle right here.
This bad boy.
You chill it in a freezer for four to six hours.
That's a big range.
Four to six.
Why not just four?
Why not six?
This is the beginning of the show.
After four to six hours, you're allowed to serve it.
Visit highrockvodka.com to find a bottle near you.
Remember to drink responsibly and you must be 21 years or over.
And you can get our new 1.75 liter bottles in stores.
In May.
In May.
We're not sure of the exact date, but it's coming out very soon.
This is good.
It's kind of tart.
I thought it had grapefruit juice in it, but it doesn't.
It does not.
So here's the thing about batch drinks, Ralph.
You can put this in the freezer and if you want, like you're out by the pool or whatever,
you grab the bottle, fill the glasses up with ice and just pour.
So it'll dilute it a little bit more as well.
I used to do this with orange juice jugs.
What do you mean?
I'd buy a gallon of orange juice.
I'd pour half of it out and put vodka in there and shake it up, put it in the refrigerator.
That was my drink for the night.
That was my drink for the party.
And you drink the whole thing?
I'd walk around carrying some.
Got my shit mixed up.
I got my shit mixed up.
I mean, it's so easy.
It is easy.
And so is this.
You didn't have to pour.
And you didn't have to chase a cup.
Wonder who's got 50 red solo cups sitting around.
You wonder which one's yours.
Yeah.
And you don't have to bartend.
Nope.
It's just easy.
I just put my freezer refrigerator and go grab it when I want a couple of drinks.
Carry it around a little while.
Put it back in the refrigerator.
Let it cool off.
Yeah.
So this is for you.
I like it.
Great.
Yep.
That's gonna be trouble.
Yeah, it could be trouble.
All right.
It's delicious.
Speaking of drinking responsibly, Dale lost his phone.
Why are we?
Dale did it too.
Dale lost his phone.
Dale lost his phone.
And it was smashed.
I've been waiting days to say that.
Oh my gosh.
Days.
And you didn't bring it with you, did you?
Oh, it is here.
Go get it.
It's upstairs.
Stefan, we need it.
Yep.
He smashed the shit out of it.
Yeah, I did.
All right.
So we're in St. Martin on this great trip.
We have had a day.
It's the first day.
I thought it was the second day.
Maybe it was.
It was early.
It was early on in the trip.
Yeah.
We had had a good...
Oh, it was definitely the first night.
It was?
It was.
No, it wasn't after St. Bart's.
Oh, there was a sporting event on.
And it was the night the Hornets lost to Orlando.
I got nothing.
I know.
Robbie probably has it.
I'll go up and get it.
You know, I did.
Stephen's at lunch.
Ah, shit.
Well, all right.
We are having a day.
We had so much fun.
We've drank too much.
You know how you are.
Definitely.
You know how you are first day.
You're excited to be wherever you are.
Yes.
We're going.
Camer down.
Yep.
Having a great time.
And we have rented what they call a moke or a mokey.
At one point when we were going through golf cart stuff,
I wanted to buy one of these and Dale was against it.
And we had never even driven one.
They used to run them in Sullivan's Islands and they stopped.
So we didn't get the chance to do that.
So I saw that they were renting them on this island.
I'm like, Joey, we have to get one of these.
And so it's, it's basically like a glorified golf cart.
And so we're taking this thing back and forth on these rough roads down
to the little town center.
And it was a rough ride.
There's no doors on this thing and the sides of it scoop super low.
So, you know, hang on, buckle up the whole thing back and forth,
go down to this little bar, come back home.
Dale can't find his phone.
Yep.
And meanwhile, we're getting text messages from both our pilot Joey
from Kelly to my phone to tear into him because I wasn't my answer my phone.
I was trying to be responsible for once and I kept it in my purse.
Anyway, Dale had run over his phone.
Wait a minute.
Whoa.
We don't know that for sure.
Listen, the thing was completely annihilated and it was sending out code red alerts
to all of his emergency contacts.
Like he has been in a crash.
So this phone flew out of his pocket because he just had a swim trunks on.
Fell out of his pocket when we had a bump and like flew in the road.
So he could have very well ran over.
The moat doesn't have doors.
No doors.
So the phone just flew, you know, we're bouncing on these little rough old roads.
Yeah.
It's we our house is like half a mile moat, less than that, less than that
from this, this bar that we'd be hanging out.
We had dinner and all that.
We're bouncing on the way home and the thing just kind of hopped out of my pocket.
Right.
Well, it's that audio.
It's so smart because either when it hit the ground or when a car ran over it,
it sends an alert to my two emergency contacts, Amy and Kelly.
Well, Amy's phone is in her purse and Kelly's texting us going, are y'all okay?
Texting the Duggers.
It says that he has been into a crash.
There's been a crash and accident.
Yeah.
And here's the here's the location of the accident.
And so Kelly takes Joey, the pilot, Joey's trying to leave his hotel room to drive to
wherever this pen is to find whatever the hell's happened there.
She had been trying to get hold of all this.
He thinks we're in a real accident.
And we weren't looking at her phones.
And we had, at that point, didn't even know he had lost his phone.
Amy didn't even pull her phone out to know she even got this text message.
She has no clue.
So I could have been in an accident and it wouldn't have, Amy would have been none the wiser.
Exactly.
That's true.
If I wasn't with you, I would have been lost, lost.
Here's the phone.
She's good and smashed.
I'll do my best, Vanna.
It is terrible.
Well, look.
And this was in a case.
It was in a case.
It's still smashed, but the whole back and the whole front are just shattered.
So we're, we're getting this alert.
It doesn't even turn on.
Well, I had, I drove to the bar.
I ran back to the bar in the car.
I'm walking around.
It's kind of a courtyard with a lot of restaurants and they're all open air.
And so I'm walking to all the places we were and the people that work there, the bartenders,
the waiter that saw us, a guy that was playing music.
They're all like, yeah, really?
Okay.
We're looking and I've got my Garmin watch on and anytime I get near my phone with the
Garmin watch, I'm going to get the text messages and all the alerts.
Right.
I'm walking around waiting on this Garmin watch to start buzzing so I can know that I'm
within 20 feet or whatever of this phone.
It's not happening.
And as much as I want to believe the phone is there, it ain't there.
And so we drive back home.
When you get home, that's when we get the text messages.
Yeah.
And that's when we're starting to learn that, oh, the phone is in the street.
And he finally takes my phone so that he can track his phone.
Yeah.
Why don't you do it from the beginning?
Well, I don't know.
This is what happened.
So we, I'm not sharing my location with Amy, which I didn't realize that we always have.
And so I'm going on her phone trying to find mine.
And it's, it's like giving me a general area, not necessarily it's on the street.
It's like you're in this state, you're in this city, right?
It's not like, it's not giving me a direct info.
And then it dawned on me, get, get my iPad out.
So I get my iPad out.
My iPad is like, there it is.
There's your phone.
And I'm like, and so we take up my iPad's got 1%.
It's dead.
Right.
I can't take my iPad with me to locate the phone.
So I get Tim Duggar, our buddy to take a picture of the iPad screen and me and him drove down
the street and right where it said it was, is the phone land in the street going.
How, and how cool is that technology that it sent out to my emergency contacts that there
was an issue and that it was destroyed by how many, maybe I ran over it multiple times
going back to look for it.
Certainly other cars hit it and it was still good enough, right?
To be screaming, here I am.
The whole thing is just so ironic because he went postal when I lost mine and he went
postal even more when he lost his.
And I thought there's just nothing that's going to send this man more than somebody
losing their phone.
I have an opinion about that.
So I lost mine because it bounced out of my pocket.
I didn't lose mine.
It was my hotel room.
I know.
In my mind, I wasn't even that irresponsible.
I know.
In, in my mind, in both cases, my case and yours, I thought you left yours at a bar on
a table and I left mine at the bar somewhere, somehow, right, or in a chair.
And so, yeah, I don't like losing phones.
No, he does not like losing things.
He had Tim with him.
I stayed at the house with no technology.
So my phone.
And he's, he's like, Tim, his lip is curled.
He's like, get in this car, we're going to go down there, we're going to find this
phone.
And he's always got his, Tim, who had had a few beers and this picture of where the
phone might be, right?
So Tim's trying to tell him where to go holding this picture that with the map pins not moving,
right?
Like he's just looking at a photo and Dale's driving down the road in this little bumpy
mode trying to find it with his bouncing eyeballs.
And Tim's trying to tell him to stop and lo and behold, it was like another half a mile
at the road.
So they're arguing with each other like two, they're just terribly.
So this is, this is like, like siblings just.
This is so, so annoying.
So I got a picture of the phone.
It's in this right hand turn right before the right hand turn is a left hand turn.
This is a, I'm telling you this road that we're on is literally a quarter of a mile.
It's not a lot of road, but it's jungle on either side of it.
And it's the roads wide enough to feel like a sidewalk.
There is one, there is one area where this phone is going to be.
And there's only one little S left to right turn that it, that's it.
That's where the phone is.
And Tim, I'm like, Tim, look at the, look at the picture.
Let's find those two turns.
There's the phone.
And he's like, he's not looking at it.
And he's like, well, man, let's just get out.
It's got to be here somewhere, man.
Let's just get out.
Let's pull over, man.
It's going to be right here.
He's trying to calm Dale down.
And I'm like, no, Tim, look at the picture.
We're going to, it's in a right hand turn.
Let's get to a right hand turn.
That's where it's going to be.
Not right here.
Cause this is not where it says the phone.
And so if I would have stopped and listened to him,
we would have had to walk another, you know,
two, three football fields before we actually got to the phone.
And I'm like, God dang, just look at the picture.
So then they're arguing about that over and over again.
The picture says it's in a right hand turn.
Here we come up on the right hand turn.
How about we pull over here and look, you know, it was a show.
It was a show.
And you know what though?
The phone was destroyed.
I got it back on the phone, in the phone, credit cards,
driver's license, all that stuff.
Cause I got the phone wallet.
And that's the real problem.
I don't get why you do that.
I don't have to cut off.
I would never, cause I know better than myself.
I don't have to cut off all that.
You know, cause you got to cut the cards off.
You order the new card, wait for the new card to come,
go to the, get your new driver's license, all that bull.
So I got all that stuff.
Don't talk to me about my wallet case.
I know you're about to.
Yeah, I am.
You want to have your phone and your,
you want to carry some separate.
Why do you two things?
I don't want to keep the lock and the key together.
Why not?
Cause just in case it bounces out of your pocket.
If you lose one, you lose all.
Fine.
If I lose my phone, I still have my wallet and everything.
I lose my wallet.
I have my phone.
I don't plan on losing this on the gun.
I don't plan on doing a lot of things,
but I try to be smart.
I'm with you Travis.
So when I was in Vegas and lost mine,
I thought I was flying home on a commercial jet.
And I thought I can at least get on this airplane
cause I have my ID and my money and I can get out of here.
I can get a phone later, but you know,
in a lot of cases like you need, you need it to be separate.
A lot of times when we're on vacation and we're going out
like that, I might take the stuff out of it.
I mean, I don't always carry it with it.
I just saying that I do like the wallet cases
that gives you the option.
If you want to consolidate, it just feels better.
Yeah.
Usually he puts the stuff in my purse to be honest.
Yeah.
Carry everything.
Was it fun that it was Dale losing?
It was.
It wasn't fun in the moment.
Was it fun that it was Dale losing it?
What are you saying?
Because she always loses her phone.
The Lord gives it to the Lord, take it the way.
The Lord plays with you all the time.
I think it was a good exercise for everyone
that Dale lost his phone on vacation.
And I wasn't trying to relish it in the moment,
but I was for the rest of the trip very at peace
with the fact that he was so present
and didn't have all that communication.
It was fun for me because I'd sit there and go,
we'd be at dinner or sitting at a bar,
and they're all like,
and I'm like, you guys and your phones, what the hell?
Did he take his iPad everywhere?
No, he didn't.
He didn't take his iPad everywhere.
No, I didn't carry my iPad.
He did use my phone if he wanted to talk to anybody.
Who would carry their iPad to a beach bar?
Just to be able to be connected.
There really wasn't good enough service.
So I checked my phone every once in a while
to check in with the nanny and the kids and all the things.
It was good.
Apologize to Kelly and Joey the next day for everyone.
Sorry about that.
I knew what time it was,
and I knew what my heart rate was
and how many steps I'd taken.
Which is all you need on vacation.
What was Dale's heart rate when he lost his phone?
I'm surprised that thing didn't blow up.
I honestly had a great trip.
He went nuts.
I had a great trip,
and when I got home I had a new phone waiting on me.
And he was excited because he wanted it anyway.
Do you be fair?
He wanted that orange phone anyway.
Hey, I don't got a case
because I'm waiting on my wallet case to show up.
It's on the way.

How do you do acclimating back from vacation?
Because Dale is talking about coming back
it's a struggle to...
It's such a struggle.
I'm still drained.
I drained myself.
It's all self-induced.
I'm not sad that I'm not on the island anymore
because about three or four days is all I can handle.
Especially hanging out with them.
I was not hungover when I came home from my girls' trip
and we were there just as long.
Hanging out with them, it's hard.
It's hard.
Y'all got long hours to put in
and they don't sleep.
Does Tim's wife get after it too or is she a little...
No, she knows when to fold it
and she'll just have a Coca-Cola.
She gets a while to sit here and there
but she doesn't lose her coot.
I miss it.
The whole time we're on this trip
if we're riding by
we're on a couple boat trips when we're out there
and I'll be like, man, let's live on a boat.
He tried to talk, we end up living on a catamaran.
Let's live on a catamaran for a summer.
Just a summer.
Just give me a month, one month on a catamaran.
And then we start talking to the boat captain.
And then we're looking at these islands
and stuff we're passing and there's all these homes.
Yeah, I can do that.
Let's pick out a new house.
I'm like, Amy, let's just...
It seems easier.
Just imagine yourself like renting one of those homes
and just moving here and living here.
You know, I'm just a dreamer.
I'm not going to do it.
But we talked about this last year.
I love the idea of daydreaming about it.
He doesn't dream.
He manifests.
I know I manifest.
But there's a lot of things that I...
And then the wheels turn about how to actually make that happen.
So every time he starts daydreaming, I start getting nervous.
There's a lot of things I dream about
that I know aren't going to happen, then they don't.
But yeah, there are things that I do try to manifest
and they do happen, but that's good too.
Amy, you've told me to...
You're the one that told me to think about...
I know.
I should never have told him about the law of attraction
because he feels like...
He didn't really need the law to begin with
because I was really about choosing joy.
That's what I was trying to give him.
It was like, law of attraction, choose joy.
Let's keep our thoughts positive.
Amy believes in law of attraction.
And now he's buying houses in reared islands.
We've barely been to.
What if for a month...
He gave up video games and trading cards
for a house for a month.
I would do that.
We almost got into an argument.
Why are we doing that?
On the plane because to...
Tara, she goes,
hey, Dale, did you bring your video game?
And I look over and I'm like,
what?
And he's like, no.
I'm like, well good
because that would have sent me into the stratosphere.
We don't need to take that thing everywhere.
Yeah.
And now I'm getting mass chewed for...
Nobody chewed you.
You did the chewing.
You're the one that got mad.
No, I'm getting prodded about a video game console
that I didn't bring.
I'm glad he didn't bring that.
You know what would have happened
if he had brought that?
Well, let's hear all the things
that would have happened if I had brought it.
So it's like, it's been going on forever.
I'm like, I didn't bring it.
What are we doing?
Why are we talking about it?
Because it's what you do.
I didn't bring it.
It's not here.
Let's just go, man, that's cool.
Well done, Dale.
We appreciate you.
It's a good question.
It was a valid question.
I was trying to help you out
to get a house for a month.
Yeah.
Y'all got me worked up.
Oh my gosh.
Speaking of getting worked up
for the second time.
So we're sitting at the bar.
He doesn't have his phone.
I know you guys talked about this on Tuesday,
but the Xfinity race is happening.
The guys are running.
And Dale would typically have his phone
and put it on silent just so he could watch
and make sure he's keeping in touch
with what's going on.
And he couldn't do that.
And instead of having my phone up,
he just figured I'll just check in later
and figure out what happened.
But then we get a text that Carson flipped
and that was probably more,
more mad than the phone situation.
Oh, the phone wasn't a big deal.
Yeah.
He was frustrated with the phone.
We found the phone.
We found the phone.
I didn't care that I didn't get to use it anymore.
Had my iPad if I needed something,
emergency, you were here, everything's fine.
Karflippen sent him again.
I was like, wow, man.
And this guy just,
I don't know if we need to get you
like a boxing ring
or something to get some aggression out
because it's bottled up in there
because that would not have typically sent him
like it did.
But we had a moment where we were like,
it's okay, Dale.
And anytime you even tried to calm him down,
it was like, made it worse.
I hate the sound.
Listen, we're talking about a guy,
Carson Cuapo in this case,
could have been any of our,
we're talking about our drivers going to Kansas
and working their ass off and racing, right?
I'm in, I'm in, I'm in St. Martin's on vacation
drinking my ties.
I'm not, you know, I should not complain at all,
but I was like, you know,
this is what's happening in my head
and I'm just going to be honest.
And if it's not the way I should be thinking,
I apologize everybody.
But I'm just sitting there going,
you know, I'm just going to,
I don't have my phone,
so I can't really,
otherwise I'd prop it up with the NASCAR app open
and just be watching the hell out of the standings
and wondering how everybody's doing.
But I'm like, you know what?
I'm not going to grab Amy's phone
and power, you know, and sit here
and we're going to, oh, bye.
There they are.
The babies are here.
Little girlies.
Watch your fingers.
And so their lips.
So I'm just, I'm like, you know,
I'm just going to leave it,
I'm just going to leave it to,
leave it to the Lord.
Yeah, give it to God.
Give it to God.
They're going to race good.
I'm just going to sit here and have dinner.
I'm not going to,
I'm going to have some of my family
and I'm just going to trust it.
They have a good day
and we'll look at the standings
when it's all said and done
and they'll be in there in the top 10 somewhere.
Maybe a win.
That'd be great.
And you said,
I just got a text from Kelly.
Carson flipped.
Does Dale know?
And I'm like, in my head,
I'm thinking just destroyed parts flying everywhere.
A car just destroyed.
And I'm like, what, you know,
it's Carson flipped.
You know, of course it's Carson.
Okay.
And then I see a,
I grab her phone and I see the clip.
And I'm like, how in the hell?
It's like, like a lap two.
Yeah.
And I'm like, you know, we,
you can flip it Daytona.
You can flip it.
Talladega.
We flipping there.
I mean, it happens.
Okay.
We don't flip it.
Kansas.
We don't flip it.
These race tracks.
What the hell are we doing?
We're flipping.
And it's just a situation that he found himself in.
Byron takes me the next morning,
apologized and felt bad about it.
And I, I know he didn't do that on purpose
or wished it would have happened.
Right.
You know, of course,
Carson feels terrible about it.
I've talked to him since, but.
Yeah.
They flipped.
Everybody flipped.
In the morning.
I mean, in the moment,
we're sitting there.
It's the last night we're having dinner
and everybody's wore out.
Everybody's had a full weekend.
And I'm still trying to get the last,
you know, last good night out of the trip.
We're not going to leave till about lunch the next morning.
And I was like, damn, what a gut punch.
But I was angry.
You know, I just was mad at not anybody in particular,
but I was just mad about it.
It was fine.
It was just one of those things that was shocking.
Your reaction was shocking,
but I think it was built up over the phone and whatever.
I don't know.
Yeah.
I've noticed like no.
Like I've noticed in the last.
I've noticed that I've had,
I've had some moments like,
like that one where I was,
I was even like,
why am I so mad?
Am I so angry?
But I felt guilty not being there.
Right.
As an owner.
I'm not.
I felt guilty when those guys go to the race track
and I don't go with them.
I feel bad because I feel like I should go.
I should be going.
I should want to go.
I do want to go, but I should be going.
I should be there with them.
Should be an understood thing that you have either.
And like this weekend,
we had the cars tour and care way.
We've got Talladega for the Xfinity and I've got to divide
and conquer, try to go to one or the other.
And you feel like you want to be at both here.
We want to be value, you know,
because you can have a,
I can go to both and be an asset to what's happening there.
Right.
I'm going to go to the cars tour because I'm after a couple weeks
ago.
I'm worried about those guys going to a little bull ring
and doing well.
And I want to talk to them and try to be,
be present and hopefully influence a good day or a good
night for the tour.
But the weather looks bad.
So should I be going to Talladega?
I don't know.
And we got to go.
We got to go.
Oh my God.
We got to do it.
We got a slumber party at the house.
I feel bad.
I also has a birthday.
Yeah.
That's coming up.
So we have a party to do.
It's I was birthday.
It's coming up next Thursday.
So we decided to do a party on this Friday.
Yeah.
We got a slumber party happening for Friday night,
but that, you know, and so I got a,
I'm going to leave that with you at 10 in the morning or
some time in the morning.
That's okay.
That's when the kids go home.
How many kids are coming over?
Just three.
Oh.
It'll be easy.
They're just eight.
So it's not, you know, we don't do big parties unless it's
two hours at the saloon and then everybody takes off.
That's just, I would be, I would probably get anxiety too
like Dale if I had more than that.
But I struggle with that part of being the car owner,
but also like I, um, before like for the longest time,
and you know this and our relationship racing was number one.
Yeah.
Right.
And you, you were, you were not number one.
And I, um, of course we, we worked on that together.
And then I went to work for NBC and my boss Sam flood said to
me family first.
And he didn't, I didn't ask him about a birthday or any kind of
an off weekend or whatever.
He just looked at me and he said here it's family first.
He just wanted you to know, he's like, whatever needs to happen
with your family that goes first.
And so of course a year or two later, Amy's like, Hey,
my dad's having a birthday.
I would like you to go.
It's on your weekend that you got to work.
I call my boss.
He's like, I said, Hey, Amy wants me to go.
I don't, I don't ask for much, but he's like, go, you got to
do it.
Family first, man.
And I'm like, all right.
And that gave me the confidence honestly to be able to put them
first in anything.
Like it gave me that.
Alrighty to say.
Alrighty.
I don't know what it is.
Like I feel like I was always giving permission to like put
family over everything, racing, everything.
And I'm like, you know what, from here on out, I'm putting
family first and I'm not going to worry about who has a problem
with it.
And so when we have these trips or we go do something in Texas or
whatever, and I'm not going to go to the race, I usually tell
myself, Hey man, you got to put family first.
Hey, it's important for you to be here.
And that'll be okay.
And that'll be fine.
And they'll be all right.
And then they, you know, your, your family first on this trip.
And there they are flipping down the back straightaway on lap
two.
And you're like, uh, you know, I should be there.
Yeah, but they would have done that way.
If I was there, wouldn't have happened.
You know, that's the back to giving it to God.
That was God's intention, which for whatever reason, or, you know,
I'm worried about people going, why wasn't he there?
Why was he doing this thing goofing off or, or, you know, why
was he serving himself and not, you know, being an owner or
whatever?
Well, we weren't doing this goof off thing because I bought this
trip at a charity event three years ago and it was about to
expire.
So at the end of last year, I just booked it for whatever dates
they had available.
And that's why we went.
I gave that little life hack on our, on our podcast.
I think I might edit it out because I don't want that life
hack out to people.
I want to hold on to this thing.
We can share it here.
Well, I mean, it's look, we go, we go to all of the charity
events for our, for our friends and friends and drivers.
And we want the drivers to come to ours.
We go to theirs and everybody supports everybody.
We're all friends.
You've got friends that date or married to other drivers and
whatnot.
So we're supportive.
And we went to a charity event a couple of years ago and quite
a while ago and there was a, there was a, there was like a
vacation to Italy or something and Tuscany and we're like,
screw it.
Let's, let's bet on it.
And the trip was worth, let's say $8,000.
And man, that thing went way, well, well below what the
value was.
And you're like, you know what?
We bought it.
We supported the charity.
We supported tonight's fundraising.
We can take this event.
And even if we don't use it, we could give it away to one of
our employees and what, that's what we ended up doing that
particular year.
We gave that trip to our employee of the year, which gets
voted on by all our employees.
So we're like, in our minds, like, this is a good thing.
Bam, bam, bam.
Right?
Everybody's happy.
But you can go to these charity events and often there's
always a trip and they never go for, for the value.
And so like you can go.
It's rare that they do.
It's very rare that they go for more than what the value of
the trip is.
So you can get these really crazy good trips on, at a real
good discount.
I'm going to start going to charities more often.
Yeah.
And so we bought this one.
They also have a free drinks trip.
Sign me up.
We got this one below value and we are like, you know, we're
either going to use it or we're going to give it away.
And it was to a place we had never been to before.
And so I was like, honestly, let's just book it.
Yeah.
Figure out when we can go.
And if it makes sense for the kids, schedule or whatever,
we're going.
And so it was a house and it was a great house.
And it was in St. Martin.
Yeah.
We got on to Moke one day and we just rode around.
That was so much fun.
And I know it was boring because we weren't doing much, but
we're just driving around like just looking at other houses,
looking at the island and all the lagoons and all the stuff.
And I had a great, great trip.
It was so much fun.
What was your favorite part?
Danny's on the beach.
So Danny's is a little basically just a carport.
It started out with him just driving around with his truck,
with a giant cooler in the back.
And he always had rum punch and beer.
And now he parks the truck and you might drive around.
Every once in a while, it looks like it's ready to go.
But you drive down this little dirt road to the edge of this,
of the beach.
It's got a beach.
It's got a little parking area, five dollars for parking.
It's got a beach you can walk to.
It's got some rocky sort of cliffy.
Climb down on top of where the, where the waves come and crash in.
And then up on this little rise just above the beach is a
literally just a shed, a roof, an open air roof.
And he's got a little bar, a couple of chairs,
a couple of picnic tables and cold drinks.
And you can just sit there.
There's some music playing and Danny's there.
He's just hanging out.
Super nice guy.
He's the only bartender like he, he runs the bar.
We did go to Anguilla to Elvis's bar,
which is a top five bar in the, in the world, in my opinion.
It's got everything it does.
What's like the one thing you're like, that's what makes it so good.
It's right there in the bay.
So the, and the water is super calm.
It's got a bar made out of an old boat that they found on the
side of the road.
And it's like the front part of the bar is literally this old
wooden boat and it's got a great menu.
The vibe is chill.
They've got great music.
The music playing is always like just like good old stuff or
island music.
You might hear island music, then Nirvana and then Hurl Jam.
It's a good mix.
And there's beach chairs laying everywhere.
So you can just go lay down.
There's no like club fee.
So you can just roll up and hang out all day long.
It's a, it's the beach bar that just is, is just great all around.
And you'd get there and you don't, you don't particularly need to
leave.
You don't need to go bounce to the next place.
And so those are the, my favorite ones.
Danny's though.
Did you,
when none of us knew what Danny's was before we rolled up there on
our Moke, which was stalled out on the way up,
which made a scene and we got made fun of.
The Moke would stalled if you went down the hill too fast.
So there's a lot of heels and I just let her go and you get to
the bottom of the hill and you mash the gas and it's not doing
anything.
Turn it off, sort of cycle the power to get it going again,
putting it in reverse.
Terry, the only way to stop it from doing that was to go break
slow and keep the pace slow down the hill.
Yeah.
That was interesting.
It had a back speed.
Even if you weren't pushing the gas,
put her off and kill power if you got above 30 mile an hour.
Yeah.
So we rolled into Danny's with that silly Moke doing that and
got made fun of.
So immediately made friends with some people at the bar and we
get comfortable.
We go to some beer and Terry turns, which goes,
Amy, I think this is a naked bar.
I'm like,
a naked beach.
And then Tim says,
we heard that before we went there.
I didn't know where the naked beaches were.
No, no, no.
The lady that welcomed us into the house and helped us settle in,
said that next to Danny's is a nude beach.
Oh, I did not hear that.
I heard that.
I did not hear that.
So no wonder Tim was so excited about going to Danny's.
Tim started talking about it when she mentioned it.
Tim was like, oh, and he started talking to y'all about it.
Like, oh, yeah.
Yeah, but I didn't know that was by Danny's.
That makes sense.
That makes a lot more sense now.
Okay.
So we sit down and we're, we're just relaxing and hanging out
and Terry's like, I think this is the nude beach.
And then Tim says, no, I think this is the nude bar.
And I look up and it says, get naked.
There's like a little neon sign that's not lit up.
And it says, get naked.
I'm like, well, I mean, there's a lot of stuff hanging up,
old, old relics, license plates, you know,
all the typical garb that set a, you know, dive bar.
And none of the people around us are naked.
And for reference, none of us got naked.
We kept our clothes on.
And, and so there's one couple that was right in front of us
as our mokestal, they park and they come back to the bar.
And she's got a white shirt on that's got one button button
and some really giant knockers.
And they're at any moment with any twist,
with any giggle could fall right out.
And Tim was excited.
No, just you're gonna embarrass the s*** out of him.
Oh my God.
Well listen, none of us had ever been to a naked bar
or a naked beach.
That's not true.
And this lady was shopping for someone to get excited about it.
And so we're just all talking to each other, making friends.
And I don't know, it kind of entertained us.
It entertained us.
It entertained us for a very long time
because there are a couple more people that came up
with very sheer clothes on, but everybody had the clothes on.
Nobody took their clothes off.
It was just one of those things I didn't expect.
But, you know, provided some entertainment for sure.
Dale's not touching any of this.
He's like, not talking about it.
It didn't happen.
I didn't look.
You've been to Garden of Eden.
So it's not your first.
Yeah, but so there's always naked men up there.
And it's not like...
It's not the beach.
It's not...
Yeah, the whole vibe was totally different.
These were like, they've been to the bar before.
They knew what the gist was.
And they were there to serve.
Amy went up, was it the gardening where you got your...
Yeah, I got my boobs painted.
I was on a girl's trip.
She's on a girl's trip.
And I get a...
She's like, hey, we're, you know, she's in Key West, right?
She's on a girl's trip.
And I get a picture of her and her friend with their boobs painted.
And I'm like, where y'all...
Where you think you're going like that?
Like, where are you?
So listen.
Can you put your shirt back on?
Well, I did.
And I did.
Thanks for the pic, but put a shirt on.
I was like, I mean, this is awesome.
But now I'm worried where you're going with that.
It's like a drape.
You do it in private and then we put our dresses back on.
We just wanted to do it.
We've never done anything like that before.
And he was, he would damn sure not let me do that.
Even if he was there.
Yeah.
And I put my clothes back on because there would be another person involved.
And he's like, not going to let that happen.
So I knew I had one shot.
And I took it.
Yeah, you did.

Do you want to get into the fun facts?
Yeah, what's fun facts?
Fun facts about kids.
The fun fact you posted on your Instagram?
Oh, today?
Yeah.
Yeah, so I went to MomTJ with Nicole at the preschool.
They call it muffins with mom.
Muffins with mom, speaking of...
Like they do donuts with dads.
Speaking of getting your boo fainted, muffins.
Muffins are the opposite area.
Muffins with mom.
Jesus.
That's...
Okay.
Ralph.
What?
Drink some of your drink.
James thought it was funny.
It was funny.
Oh, my gosh.
I haven't had to put a disclaimer for creating on this show.
We've been sitting here talking with knockers and you want me to not chuckle about muffins
getting mentioned?
I was with Nicole doing muffins at the preschool.
Yes.
It was so cute.
They always give you the list of things and we eat muffins, of course, and then they
color and they sing a song.
Before we get to the list, she's been practicing winking.
Yeah.
And she's been trying to do it forever and she's not good at it.
And so, every once in a while, we're in a car.
I feel like this is such a hard transition for our listeners because I know it was for
me.
From nude beaches to muffins.
We'll put an ad break in between these two.
We need a big, long ad break before we start telling the story about going to preschool
and Nicole.
It's not wrong.
Oh, my God.
No, not.
Can you shift this shit around and put this first?
We'll put all the ad breaks.
Oh, my God.
I don't even know if I can tell it.
She's been trying to wink for weeks and she's always asking me, mom, am I doing it?
Am I doing it?
And I'll look back and she's like, I got to raise her whole face, moves, you know?
And so the reason that she's been trying to wink is because they had this little song
that they were going to do and she's like, if you're happy or if you're happy and you
know it, but it's if you love your mom and you know it and you have to blow kiss and
then you hug yourself and then you do a wink.
So she did that this morning and it was amazing.
And now I figure, like she's so, so she's like, I like that way.
She wants to keep everything a secret because she's got a surprise and it's a performance.
Oh, yes.
She did the same thing.
Oh, man.
Good for her.
And then the teacher said, I know for some of you guys, it's like the last, the last hurrah
pre-school and then I, it full sent me into like depression mode and I cried the whole
way.
Are you serious?
Yes.
I had to go pick up something for Isla's birthday party and I cried the whole way there.
I was like, ooh.
Are you serious?
The last thing.
They don't do anything with the moms at the next school.
What?
They do dad, the daddy daughter dance and they do like a son and mother thing.
I forget what it is, but no.
So that's it.
No more muffins with mom was the last hurrah.
It made me so sad, but she did make me a super cute little list.
This is my favorite part about doing these is their answer sheet of who they think you
are.
I like mom because mom likes this.
Yeah.
Mom's favorite.
This is that.
So she says my favorite food is tacos, which she nailed.
And she says my mom is really great at telling jokes.
So she thinks I'm funny, which that's pretty cool.
Yes.
And then I thought that was so cool.
She, but she says mom really likes to talk on her phone or call people on her phone.
I'm like, yep.
I never call people on my phone.
I don't even answer it.
It's just funny what they think they see you doing.
Keep going.
She's, she's really loves me because she lets me watch TV.
The thing to do with my mom is to watch Wednesday on the Adams family.
It's her new favorite show.
My mom's favorite story is target.
Yes.
The one thing that I love target here.
My mom say a lot is I love you.
I love you.
I love my mom because she's always hugs me.
She always hugs me.
Nicole loves hugs.
I think my mom is funny because she covers her eyes and says peek-a-boo.
Yeah.
I haven't done that in ages, but you know, maybe it's a, maybe I should go back.
They must have not been able to think of one.
She must have been struggling to think of one and maybe the teacher helped her with that one.
Well, last year she said the only thing I hear my mom say is no Coley.
So we've gone in a good direction.
Oh, by the way, I got the other earring out.
Whoa.
From Coley.
She let me do it yesterday morning.
What about Ilo?
When's that one happening?
I tried.
So, um, we're down to one pirate.
Ilo walks in this morning and just like the wink, Ilo walks in this morning and she's
looking for you.
She's in the bathroom coming.
She's coming closer and closer on here and she's going, mom, mom.
And I'm like, Hey, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in our bed, hadn't got out of bed yet.
And I'm like, Hey, I'm in here and she comes in there.
She goes, dad, I can whistle.
What?
And she goes, and it was really before, before she would go.
Yeah.
You know, and that's how Nicole does too.
And I'm like, yeah, okay.
And Ilo starts whistling.
I'm like, you're doing it.
You are doing it.
And she goes, yep, you curl your tongue up inside your mouth and.
Well, now she's got teeth too.
And I was like, you figured it out.
I can't whistle.
I suck into whistle.
I can't blow out to whistle.
And I'm like, she's going to, you're, I told her, I'm like, you're going to be whistling
all the time now.
I do noise that I can make great.
She was so proud of herself.
Yeah.
She came in this morning with a full.
I remember like being so excited to learn how to, like I could finally snap my fingers.
God, I'm like, you remember being young and not being able to do it.
She practices that too.
And other people being able to do it.
And you're like, I'm broken.
I'm broken.
Can't do it.
I can't, what, what's the trick?
You know.
Yeah.
You look at, you do anything you could to like try to get the friction on.
Nope.
She chose that too.
She walks around.
She's like.
Yep.
You got nothing.
Dude's used to, I'd never dipped, but dudes used to walk around with their.
Yeah.
Can you smack their fingers and I'm like, man, I want to be cool.
I almost kind of want to start dipping just to be able to figure out how to do that.
Cause that looks so cool.
I know you didn't think for, I tried to dip one time.
You ever tried to dip?
I've never.
I've tried Copenhagen once and it made me throw up 30 seconds.
You're not, you're.
I'm from Texas, honey.
We tried everything.
Yeah.
Well, my dumb ass.
So there was this guy and a buddy of ours and I was going to ride the Daytona with him
for the races and he had a, oh, he had a Buick, a grand national badass car, which I want
to own one, one day somehow.
I just.
The traction might just kick in.
That's why I said it.
Um, I want, I wanted to, I was, he's, he dipped something.
And, uh, so I'm like, I'll try that.
My dumb ass eight hour trip.
Oh no.
And I'm talking 30 minutes in, it hit me and I'm like, this ain't for me, man.
I spit it out and I'll lay it in the back of that.
All the way.
Just like I wanted to die.
It ruined you for the whole day.
Terrible.
Yeah.
I just remember throwing up.
I don't remember.
Never again.
I ain't never, I ain't never messing with that.
Never dipped or smoked a cigarette.
Really?
You're super pure.
I used to smoke this shit ton of cigarettes.
Yeah.
Dale used to smoke it.
Yeah.
This is a funny story.
I'm going to tell on you and we can, we can cut this out if y'all want.
So Dale, when I met him, I didn't know he smoked either and we weren't dating.
It was business meetings, whatever.
We had met him down at Whiskey River Charlotte because Gary Allen was opening like the bar
was just opening and he invited the whole group down.
And so he was sitting in his booth, smoking cigarettes and I'm like, he smokes?
I didn't know that.
And I'm like, ugh.
Like that's gross.
How would he do?
It's a deal breaker for me.
Same.
Like that's, that's a hard no for me.
Not that it was a hard yes for me anyway, but you know what I'm saying.
And so for like the next several years, I did everything I could to make him feel like
it was like the most important thing that he did was to quit smoking.
He used to sit in his bus and like smoke out the window and he had fans everywhere.
The house never smelled like smoking.
He really didn't either.
It was kind of impressive.
I never smoked.
Only time I smoked in the house was like downstairs in the basement drinking, which is in the house.
But I had a, at my computer, I played video games more, I played video games all day.
And I had a fan cut into the wall and hose ran to the exterior of the house, kind of like a vent or vent for a dryer.
And so I'd flip that fan on a little light switch, turn that fan on, and I'd set the ashtray right next to the fan.
And I had one of them ashtrays where you could, you could flip it and it would drop everything into the can underneath.
And so I'd sit there and have a cigarette.
I'd smoke racing online.
I mean, I would smoke one after the other over and over.
But I would, I would light the cigarette, take the drag or two, run a race, and then the cigarette would be burnt out by the time I was done.
I never, you know, and so I was going through all these cigarettes, not really even smoking them.
I would have so many butts in this ashtray that it would catch on fire.
And like, I'd have to put, I'd have to put water in it to stop it.
What a hazard.
It was a hazard.
It was crazy.
And when we were at the racetrack, I had this little fan.
So I had this couch on the interior of the bus and I'm watching TV and there's these windows right next to the couch.
And I could, I could crank them open and they were just about, these windows were about five inches tall and they would, they would open up at an angle.
I'd lay a little fan, just a little square fan right there and put the ashtray on top of the couch and it sucked the smoke right out the window.
And so that's how I kept the bus from stinking.
But like Matt Kenseth part right next to me.
He loved it.
And he.
He's like, Katie's really, really ready for you to stop smoking.
He would, I hit it from everybody and Matt comes over to me one day.
He goes, you need to quit smoking out of that bus, man.
And I mean, he would know every time I fired one up cause I'd be poor and smoke be pouring out of the damn side of the bus when he was sitting there.
Cause I don't know.
He's not cooking stir fry.
I didn't give him.
I didn't give him.
I just hit it from everybody because I thought it was bad for a driver to be thought of as a smoker.
But I mean, Dick Trickle did it, but, um, and my dad hated smoking.
He didn't want me to, he didn't, he wouldn't have approved of it, but eventually I just quit.
I tried to, I tried to, I tried to quit a lot of different times and finally I got it to stick.
And once I quit, the funniest thing happened.
Once I quit, um, like I would be around it at a restaurant when I was a smoker.
When I was a smoker, I'd be around it in a restaurant or, you know, whatever and not really think that much of it.
I didn't think it stunk.
I didn't think it smelled strong or bad or anything like that.
And if somebody was a block away from me, I couldn't smell it.
And as soon as I quit smoking cigarettes, the smell of it instantly became just disgusting.
And so it was hard.
Once I got over the hump, it would took me about two months.
And when I finally got over that hump, the actual smell of it made me disgusted and I didn't want to be near it.
And if I saw, if I could smell a cigarette from like a block away, we'd be in Key West.
And I'm like, his sense of smell changed.
Smoking.
He got like his system cleansed out and then he could, his sense of smell came back.
I'm like, it feels like it's right here.
And it would be somebody walking in front of us, you know, half a block away and the winds blowing it toward us.
And I'm like, damn, that's strong.
Let's change this move.
Let's go left on this next street and get away from them.
But and we'd got, I couldn't, we had a bar that we love down there and I had to stop going to it because the inside of it smelled so bad.
And which I mean, you know, I was thankful because I was afraid that I was always going to be wanting and Jones in first mode.
And even when I got the drink and I did, I tried maybe one or once or twice to have a cigarette and it's just disgusting.
And I'm like, well, a lot of people like still want to have a cigarette like years later, they're still like fighting the cravings.
And it was opposite for me for some reason.
It just became repulsive.
And so I don't like to be anywhere near it now.
And that's the way it's kind of always been.
So took a lot of kick that habit, but it was a good one to kick.
Amen.
All right, that's the show everybody.
Appreciate y'all.
For Ralph here at the podium.
For all you out there that are trying to, trying to kick that habit.
I wouldn't give up.
Oh, you need a good nag.
Yeah.
Yeah, that and a couple months and you think you got her kicked.

Hey guys, Dale and I are in the studio for another round of Ask Amy.
We're excited for you to listen to the show and for your questions.
What do you got?
The first question is, what Disney princess is the most annoying?
Sorry?
What Disney princess is the most annoying?
Yeah, I can't help you here.
Why not, Dale?
I don't know any of them.
Yeah, you do.
I mean, I don't know the annoying one.
Let's see, that's a good question.
I want to do a good answer.
I kind of feel like it's Ariel because she gave up all that stuff like her voice and everything for that prince.
She didn't have any negotiation skills, you know what I mean?
She just went in and gave Ursula everything.
I don't know.
You can't just give up?
You can't just give up everything.
The rest of them have pretty good songs though.
I don't know.
I love Disney and I grew up listening or watching all the shows, singing songs and everything.
So what's your favorite then?
My favorite's Aurora, which is Sleeping Beauty.
I always thought she was cooler than the rest of them.
I don't know.
Music's good.
And Elsa, we've listened to a lot of Frozen.
I think Elsa was probably the one annoying for me because she was like...
On repeat.
No, not because, because...
She's selfish.
She was selfish.
And she was like, you know, I can't be around my sister.
Like, come on, man.
You know, why can't you be like, she wouldn't return, reciprocate the relationship and love that she had, that Anna had for her.
And I'm like, man, she's kind of...
Just be honest.
She's kind of being rude.
Figure it out.
Don't make her sad.
Yeah.
And she couldn't turn off the, you know, forever storm.
I mean, you know, she froze everything.
There's a whole lot of I can'ts.
She just didn't seem like she wanted to try.
Yeah.
Let's turn off.
I didn't appreciate how she treated Anna.
I really didn't.
You know what I mean?
There we go.
See, he did pay attention.
Well, it was hesitant to say because everyone loves Frozen.
Of course, I think Frozen's awesome.
Well, I love the little mermaid too, but I just felt like...
And Elsa is like the star, right?
But Anna was actually the better person of the two.
Yeah.
Well, she gets to be queen.
She's less flawed person-wise.
Yeah.
That's true.
Yeah.
There we go.
Next question is with Talladega this weekend.
They want to know, Amy, what was your first experience like to go into Talladega?
There was a lot of buildup for Talladega.
I got a lot of stories from all of Dale's friends, from Dale himself.
But I have...
I myself, like the racing is amazing.
I have never been into the infield to Talladega Boulevard, even now.
Everyone is going to assist you go.
I've never been there.
I've heard of the mud wrestling, of the barbecue wrestling, of the Jell-O wrestling, of the
KY wrestling.
I've never seen any of it.
I used to sit in the bus with Dale just being bored, waiting for the racing part to happen.
Even if we had friends camping, I wasn't going out.
Why not?
Dale did not want me having fun if he wasn't having fun.
That's right.
I didn't drink or party or any of that at the racetrack.
I used to have a rule that Amy wouldn't allow to drink if I couldn't drink.
I don't want her to get drunk.
That did happen once in Daytona.
Josh Snyder and I, who were sharing affinity for Tequila, shared a few shots while Dale
was doing the race.
He gets back to the bus and he rips.
Josh, he's like, how dare you?
What the hell are you thinking?
Y'all are sitting in here drinking.
You're getting her drunk and I'm out there racing this car.
Busting my ass.
Busting my ass.
Busting my ass.
Ridiculous in my life.
Where's the loyalty?
Yeah.
We were both like, oh.
I went to grade all the time.
We were being fans.
Ever since then, I was like, ah, better not.
That was some part of Dale.
I don't want to see you again, but you know if you had a point. Yeah, but I saw it
I want to ride through Kenny wouldn't even take me through there wheat
So I did go through the infield this happened during practice one day
We went and sat at the other opposite end of where we usually parked so I could see the car
We should go see the cars go by unfortunately tell diggers this weekend. We could vote we could book the next one
But let's do a bless heart live from tall digger next year. Jesus
That would be fun
I don't know you want to do it. You want to cut you want to call the wrestling matches
You think I'd be good at that. I'm just wondering if you'd even want to maybe we could have them
Hmm, what would we call it?
Well, they probably already got the names for it. Oh, we don't get to host our own. No
You're doing the play-by-play. Yeah, play-by-play at the mud wrestling. Okay, maybe
But I want to do mud. I want to do like condiment
mustard wrestling
Barbecue barbecue sauce
Strawberry jelly something tasty, you know peanut butter and jelly. Oh peanut butter. That sounds very rough
Not the chunky we did get jelly shots thrown at us though that day. It was just during practice. Okay, and I they were closed
They were sharing them
This was years ago. You're saying no until a day. So you did go down the street
It was like during the middle of the day. No, yeah, that doesn't count. It was you know, Kenny and I and he's like holy smokes
They're throwing matters at the golf cart
You went kind of to the to the strip when we went and watched him play it's at that stage
One year. That wasn't at Talladega. I went and watched him
Race here in North Carolina
All right, the one y'all reopened I forget because brain parts, but yeah, that was a great concert. Look, I mean you
That's great. That's actually a great trip because the kids can do cut
Yeah, so as crunchy as it gets it's also very good for the family. I feel like we were there last year space for the kids in the infield
We didn't go last year we usually go around the hill. We did not go last year. We went the year before I
Remember trying to get yes, I did. I didn't go. Yes
And they held they had reptiles and the that's right
MRO like the I get pictures the kids are holding Python. I have them there just for the day spiders. Yeah, holy crap
What a dad
Listen you can do it again this weekend if you're going no, we're gonna go and we'll go in the fall
And take the kids will take the camper will take the kids to the playground to do the Halloween Halloween thing
We'll go out in the Boulevard and then we'll go home do a live show. We'll get up Sunday morning
Listen, there's gonna be a show whether we're doing it or not
I want to see it Sunday morning before the race starts and say audio so you get on TV. Yeah, that's a great idea
Thanks for that. Thanks for that question. We just now have a new family of trips
Speaking of Jello shots. What are you a fan of Jello shots? I am a fan of Jello shots
I just wish there was a less annoying way to get them out of the cup. Yeah, like I wish there was somebody would invent a cup
Anybody that's got that engineering mind that has a little thing that swirls around
Loosens it. So you don't have to use your tongue. I've got you covered
When you store them flip them upside down. So it comes out on the lid. Oh, that's genius
Where have you been or you're pinky?
Yeah, just sort of just flip them upside down after you
Yeah, that's a good idea. We had some at the farm for Easter
Yeah, Aunt Shana always makes Jello shots for the adults and separate ones for the kids which
But
They're just Jello cups. Yeah, Jello. Yeah, and so yeah, we always have them, but she I don't think she even knows that trick
We're gonna have to teach Aunt Shana how to do that
Welcome
Speaking of your vacation and how long after getting back do you unpack?
We're still packed. They're still packed. Yeah, I'm very bad about that
But I've been telling everybody to how dirty I am in the closet. I have done a
Lot of work to get that closet cleaned up and so I can open it clean it out and get it done pretty fast at the moment
So hopefully today. I got my shirt out cuz I got this on my trip
It says don't be a little bitch and we got this at one of the beach clubs
We went to was the beach club called Calitua Calitua and Calitua
And so you sit on the beach and you can hang out and then you can have lunch
And there's a little boutique in there and the lady gave this to me. So yep, I told her I would wear it
Do you unpack your clothes when you're on vacation? You just grab out of the suitcase?
I usually like to hang them up, but this time I've just grabbed some of my things
And then I had too much to hang up. So I just I'm usually
Unpack as soon as I get home. I don't care if I'm there for two nights
I will take everything out of the bag and put it in a drawer. He unpacks and
Unpack like I'm moving in
This particular trip I left I left all the shit in the bag. I might have wore some shit two days in a row
I don't know. No, you'd know he didn't he he has like a travel bag that he puts all the dirties in
So he takes it as he wears it just stuffs it in there
Nothing got worn the way I intended it to you know, you pack your bags like alright, I'll wear this for day one
Here's day two. Here's this shirt this these shorts and da-da-da. It just all yes
Yeah, it matched it matched it didn't it didn't matter
It worked out fine. Yeah, the next time we're gonna have shorts with pockets zipper pockets or something
So that phoned and if you weren't swim trunks, you're just screwed. Yeah, that's what he was wearing swim trunks. I learned my lesson
Next question I'm curious if this is a guy or girl who you think this
Question comes from at what age should guys stop using three-in-one shampoo body wash? I feel like that you should not use that ever
That's a that's a you question. Well, I have so many products the damn shower
I think three-in-one
Shampoo conditioner. I mean, I don't know. Is it really cleaning you if it's conditioning you at the same time?
How does it do that? I don't have a problem with that the body wash part has never worked for me
Yeah, he likes a bar soap. Yep. I will if I use body wash
it doesn't
It doesn't clean as well
He doesn't want to get out of the shower feeling slippery. Yeah, like no
I'll just shoot you straight. So like like I
You know, we're all gonna learn some you check your pits, right like everybody everybody checks their own pits
I'm sure right at some point. Yeah, and I
Can every now and then I'm like
You know not great
You know, I don't we I don't wear cologne. I used to wear cologne. I used to wear deodorant. I don't
Anymore. Yeah, did you believe it? Yeah, we're deodorant. I don't know. Yeah, don't straight hippies over here
Yeah, it's got so many chemicals in it. Yeah, so
That's a whole nother story
There is a specific type of cologne that I will wear and I found this in Hawaii probably 2002
2003 and it has no
It has none of the aluminum's or all that weird shit in or whatever. He's already deodorant deodorant. I'm sorry
And so it's a roll-on kind of deodorant and it's a
Calvin Klein or whatever it is. I forget what it's called
But I'll buy that and and I actually took some on this vacation and I used it a couple days
So I do wear deodorant every now and then but usually I don't why but how do you stop from like the sweat and the smell?
I don't so here's the thing
Do you know but you don't stink as bad so when you're putting that stuff on your body all the time?
Yeah, you're clogging up your lymphatic system. You're putting heavy metals in
When you're all your body's trying to do anyways get that stuff out
So like you're you're creating an issue in your lymphatic system
You do go for like a week or two period where you felt you smell like the Grinch when your body's like trying to get it all
Out when you stop using it and then it's not that bad. It really isn't I I don't have
Body odor, I guess. I mean, I don't think every now and then though
I do so you like you just make sure like you get in there when you're showering to make sure they're extra clean
Scrubs it with a dial bar or a dub bar or whatever
For two weeks to see it's a good test if you're going to do this body washes are off the table because they don't
Clean and they don't take the smell, right? So like that's my experience like a bar soap
Good any kind of soap. I don't care what it is. I have a spraying dub whatever we're going to use
That stuff works good for me and I get in the pits real good
And because it has the other stuff has to conditioning agents and it's not but I can't use like body wash
No, even in the you go to hotels, you know, the
Body wash that's you don't do none. It don't it don't clean me
Especially I do think you go the hotels down. They have the giant ones. They're like already in there
Yeah, I feel like those are just like water down to begin with they're just shampoo
I just have never had I've never used a body wash and went, you know, that's better than soap
I just never have and so
Yeah, I don't know what the question was three and one three and one so here's the body wash
Here's the follow-up. How does a man need to when does a man need to stop using body wash?
I think it just depends on who you are
I feel like if it's if it's cleaning body wash is not what you need to be using to clean yourself
You need to use a bar of soap. I use body wash. I use the soap to body wash. Yeah, body wash in a loofa
Yeah, so that's the thing. He doesn't use any extra fluffy stuff. Use rags or anything
You're taking the dirty bar of soap every day and just hitting this bits and bits. It's my bar soap pits and bits
It ain't nobody else's
What the fuck cuz it's my bar because it's my
There's no double dipping am I some weirdo what no
Everything
How many times do you reuse a towel?
Couple yeah a couple times. Thank you. I'd use at least twice. Yeah, I mean, I'm
Every time I'm using it. I'm clean
Right, just dry it so sometimes we're using the same towel
There's just one on the bar and it's too far to get to the new ones
I use the damn thing till it ain't there anymore. They're not gonna get another one Amy's
Amy's the one that's the cider of when the towel goes away
And so I just keep using the same one until it's not there and then I go get the one get one off the shelf
Love it. Um, next now next question. What warning label would you give your life?
What warning label do you like would you come with? Oh my god?
Ain't as sweet as she looks I don't know
Fight fire with fire tail kind of label is that what is that even telling me? I don't know
Caution it's probably a question that you need to have her answer for me. I mean, okay, so what's Dale's?
Caution label warning label you just got out of having to do this. Hell. I know for you. No, you didn't know he's gonna have to answer it
Oh, man, what is Dale's Dale's is?
Dale's is keep your days. Amy's is keep your distance in the morning. I
Used to be a morning. I don't know why you think you want to get that hug at nine o'clock. You better be strategic
Why don't you get up before nine o'clock?
That's why I'm annoyed coming at nine o'clock. I give you a breakfast is done
The kids are put together and ready for school already
Dale's would be addicted to video games addicted straight addicted to video games
Refuses for life life gamer for life
Is that it sure I don't know the rest of it seems fluid that seems like the only thing that's not yeah, right?
Yeah, as long as maybe it's just like addicted personality like he gets addicted to anything goes in hard
Addictive personality. Well, I think that's a good place to end the show

I want a batch recipe that Dale is very excited about yeah made a big jug of it
Yes, so we have a we have a bigger job
I am curious after this show. What are the habits of our listeners? Are you?
Shower cloth bar soap just bar soap. Are you body wash?
Are you three-in-one? Are you are you shampoo and conditioner separate?
Do you hit your pits and bits and then get out?
Yeah, you wash everything. We were who was it that we so this is kind of where I got the I
Got the notion to give it this give it give this the go
I mean not that I was a whole lot different beforehand, but it's the husband and wife
the girl from
Save and Sarah Marshall
Yeah, what about yeah her and her husband talk. Yeah, they were talking on their show. This was five six years ago how
They kind of they kind of did away with deodorants and they don't even really I may be misspeaking
But they were talking about how you know, they were pretty bait
They were pretty very basic and and how they use soap in the shower and so forth and I'm like alright
Yeah, I remember stopping when I
Always thought this shower. I always just thought this shower
They do not bathe their children daily instead waiting until they can quote smell or quote seed dirt to avoid dry skin
And conserve water. Yeah
Well, I thought it was for other reasons a little more dynamic than I thought I
Thought they were talking about themselves and in their own habits, but I was like, yeah, okay
I mean, I've never really had a BO problem
Amy would tell me obviously if she was like, hey, dude, your pits are pretty smelly
And so I just get in there with the bar soap and that's good enough for me
I don't need a wash rag wash rags to me or just like a
Extra necessary part of the puzzle. That's not necessarily
Not necessarily necessarily necessarily I'm just curious what other people's habits are
Am I different am I different? I like a washcloth to clean my face. I don't use it on my bod. Really. Okay. I just I
get in
So I go from head to toe right cuz you're washing the dirt down. Yeah, you don't wash your feet first and then your hair
So I get in and I go
Shampoo, okay, we got that done
Adam Sandler on us
Now let's put the let's put the conditioner in there goes on for us
I put the conditioner in and I'm gonna let it set for a minute, you know kind of do its thing and then I get my
soap bar soap and get my hands
All sudsy and then I wash my face
Right got my face clean get my beard good and clean and then I wash the conditioner out with all the soap and everything
And I'm clean from the chin up and then I wash my body with the bar soap. I mean, I don't know how else people do it
Listen, I go all I get my feet everything like you know, I washed my whole body
Like some people might not do all that or maybe they do more just curious
I'm scared to respond now. I do what I do and that's all I do me out here being brave putting it all out there
You're scared to even tell people
I'm glad you're clean. I'm thankful. I am
Amy would say look man. No, you don't see it. So grateful that military school must have taught you well
Mm-hmm. All right. Thanks guys
