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.\nThey 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.\nCheck out Dirty Mo Media on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DirtyMoMedia  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
