About this episode
Amy and Dale are back with another episode of Bless Your 'Hardt, and the Earnhardts might have a new family hobby. After their daughters discover a new obsession at golf camp, Amy starts plotting the family's future on the golf course while Dale isn't exactly ready to commit. Meanwhile, a post-Nashville sleep schedule has Dale running on fumes and relying on Amy for a very specific kind of support.
The conversation bounces from the origins of "Denny Bros" to updates on the Dale Jr. Foundation Tahoe giveaway, upcoming family adventures at Hersheypark, and a debate that becomes far more passionate than anyone expected. Then there's the gift. Amy brings something to the studio that leaves Dale completely speechless and threatens to derail the entire episode. If you've ever wondered what it takes to make Dale Jr. genuinely uncomfortable, you're about to find out.
Before wrapping the show, they tackle listener questions, grocery store etiquette, phone privacy, beach house construction chaos, and the traffic stop that continues to live rent-free in Amy's head. From family stories and random tangents to unexpected arguments and one unforgettable surprise, this episode has a little bit of everything.

The following is a production of Dirty Moe Media.
Oh yeah, this is where 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.
He's matching today, but it's all very neutral.
It's trying to...
Non-bright clothes.
I have a shoot.
You have to know you can't wear whatever I want today.
I thought they were going to dress you anyway.
Don't they usually do that?
They probably put a shirt on me,
but I'm going to try to stay in this one if they'll let me.
Oh really?
Yeah.
You're just going to like,
fuck, I'm doing a new me today.
I'm just going to just wear...
It's just a suggestion.
Whatever I want, people.
Well, I would have wore whatever I wanted.
It wouldn't be this.
What would it be?
You know what I wear, like T-shirt?
What would your first choice have been?
Just a T-shirt.
Just a T-shirt?
Hell yeah.
Why did we rock that look?
Just a T-shirt.
I would change my T-shirt only and my shoes.
And your shoes?
These pants are fine.
So we're happy with our pants?
Yeah.
Okay.
What's up?
Will you look nice?
Yeah, thanks.
Okay.
Welcome to Bless Your Heart.
Dale and I are in the Dirty Momedia Studios
for another round of our favorite podcast.
That was a great...
Was it?
Entry.
Yeah, we chopped it up a little bit
and then just rolled right into it.
I'm trying to get Travis more work.
No.
No, please don't do that.
Like less work.
That's like how he'll start to show us
just sitting there bulls***
and you went right into the intro.
All right, let's get started.
Perfect.
The girls are at golf camp this week.
They've had their first golf experience
and they didn't ask to sign up for golf.
But I'm not good usually at doing summer activities
because we're kind of traveling here and there.
But I heard about golf camp in Moorsville,
so I signed them up.
And they've never played golf before in their life
and they have the little friend Stella going with them.
So first day I take them.
It's beautiful whether they have their cute little outfits on.
The best part about it is their outfits.
Because for them too,
like they love getting in their little skirts
and their colored shirts
and they have their visors and the whole thing.
A little bit cold.
Five years old is standing in the mirror like...
Just really, really feeling herself and...
Looking at her hair.
She's like, hey dad, this is called a visor.
Yeah, she's like, isn't it weird?
There's no top on it.
Weird doesn't have a top on it.
It's a visor.
Yeah.
She's all about the outfit.
She doesn't even care what she's doing.
But she's happy about her outfit.
So it makes it fun.
This is crazy.
Yeah.
But they showed up the first day
and some of the kids had their own clubs
and they were the only girls also in their group.
It was a bunch of boys of all ages.
And then these three little girls
and their pink with their cute little stuff on
and they just definitely stuck out.
But we pull up and kind of get settled in.
And Stella, she's like panicking
because they don't have their clubs.
And she's like, we don't have sticks.
We don't have any sticks.
What are we going to do?
I was like, they have golf clubs for you.
You don't have to carry your clubs around.
I was like, also, and if you got your own clubs,
you got to carry them all the way up there.
So let's just use theirs.
And she's like, oh, okay.
So they have a good time.
I pick them up and they've decided
it's like their favorite sport.
They had a great old time.
So I don't know what they did at golf camp,
to be honest, because I can't really get it out of them.
Every time they try to describe it too, it's like,
yeah, you know, we hit the ball.
We hit two balls at the same time, blah, blah, blah.
I'm like, are you, you hit two balls at the same time?
How'd you do that?
She goes, well, it was an accident.
We're supposed to hit one and one with this way
and one with the other way.
But I don't know.
I don't really know what it looks like
because they're doing the driving range
on the other end of the golf course.
You can't really see them when you go pick them up.
But they're having fun.
Yeah, thanks, good.
How long is it?
It's just an hour and a half.
It's like basically like a golf lesson would be.
Okay.
Yeah, so.
One thing we do know is they play tic-tac-toe with chipping.
So they stand here and chip to a big tic-tac-toe board
to play tic-tac-toe.
So that did, that is one thing we did learn.
We learned that and then this might even be the same game,
but if they get it in a certain box or certain square,
they get a colored ball to play with.
And none of them have gotten one.
So apparently they're not very good.
They were using the driver yesterday
and Isla said it was really hard.
Yeah, this is a big deal because I've tried to find a way
to get them into something that has a school board.
Yeah.
So this is.
Anything that's not just girly.
I love it because they can play their entire life.
They learn how to play and they all seem to like it.
So we need to get them in some lessons.
But I was kind of thinking too maybe
we get ourselves some lessons so that we can play to play with them.
Why is that bothering you?
Like the idea of having to have a golf lesson with a pro.
I don't mind getting a golf lesson.
They got a long way to go before they're going to play around a golf.
I know, but here's the thing.
So I ain't going to be golfing with your five year old.
No, but we could golf while they're taking a lesson.
I saw some parents doing that.
They had their kids signed up with a private lesson.
One of the little girls that Isla goes to school with was there.
I mean, I was with and her parents were like doing their own thing.
I mean, you can golf.
Yeah.
You can also just like go to the driving range with them.
Totally like top golf.
Yeah.
We could do all of those things.
If we just open up,
it's still going.
That guy did run through it, but I think they fixed it.
Yeah.
I think it's still, I thought the business model tanked.
Now he's looking it up.
I don't think so.
Ours here is still open.
All right.
Right.
There it is.
Yeah.
It's still a thing.
Yes, it's absolutely still a thing is what AI says.
Here's another thing.
Maybe get the golf sim out the house.
That was that was going to be my next point, Travis.
Thank you for bringing that up.
We can knock the dust off the golf simulator and really get that thing going again.
And then I feel like I mean, it would be fun games too.
Listen, why do we have to take it?
No, no, no, no, for the girls like tic-tac-toe or whatever within.
No, I thought you meant like just like different types of games, not golf.
Like you could do digital games like you chip tic-tac-toe or something like that.
Well, let's get that going.
I feel like we're there and this golf camp was like
the perfect test for golf in general, but definitely the golf seven.
Because y'all can do that at home.
You don't have to go anywhere.
And you could have your pro come teach you in the house if you're worried about like, you know.
It'd be fun to do it on the course.
Okay.
I do too.
But I'm going to task us now with doing that.
Okay.
Getting a golf lesson.
So golf clubs for the girls, is that the next step?
I feel like we have one little set for Ayla.
We did, we got them forever ago when she was small to play at the golf simulator.
They're plastic and s***.
Oh, they're not metal?
No, I don't think so.
Oh, yeah, golf clubs.
Yeah, we're going to do some real deals.
If they're genuinely going to s*** this.
I think that you just give them three, you give them a driver,
one iron and a putter.
Sure.
Like that's it for a kid.
Yeah, I feel like for a kid, like they're not,
they don't need the sand wedge and a pitching wedge.
Like they're just,
fun.
All they're going to care about too is whatever cushion,
fun cover they get to put on their driver, you know, how it's going to go.
Sure.
But they'll have fun with that.
He's not convinced.
I'm good.
God, what do I need to do?
I don't know.
You just don't seem enthused.
And I thought for sure with your outfit,
like golf was at the top of mind or something.
He's got a collared shirt on today.
That's not a golf shirt though.
I mean, it's his golf shirt as he's got.
But I've got real golf clothes.
Yeah, man.
Are you hiding back there with your biking clothes?
They're just, I have them.
What the hell?
I feel like he's got costumes or something I don't know about.
Amy thinks we're dressed for golf and it's like,
have a quarter zip and you got a polo on.
Do you see him walking around with a polo on ever?
I saw him on Tuesday with the polo.
Two days in a row.
Not your J.R.M. stuff that you have to order the racetrack.
That doesn't count.
It's still a polo.
I've worn a golf shirt.
It is like a golf shirt.
I did two days in a row of polos.
It's rare.
Probably been a year or so since I've done that.
Are you okay?
You're so happy, but you're not staying a whole lot.
I'm trying to have a, I'm having a hard time
landing on your movies.
Makes me uncomfortable.
What other sports have you tried to get the girls into?
We've really tried heavily to talk them both into soccer.
They were like, absolutely not.
That's not for me.
You know where my mood is?
A lot of their friends play softball and things like that too
and they're like, not interested at all.
My mood is, they don't want to be a part of a team.
Me being, us being under our foot pants laying on the couch.
Yeah.
Yes.
I couldn't hardly get him off that damn couch yesterday.
He comes home for two seconds.
There's like middle of the day.
I had sat on the couch also for some peace and quiet.
I didn't even have the TV going.
I was eating some lunch.
Sunny comes in, the water's off.
So now like the fish tank guy had just shown up.
I'm like, all right guys, we can't do anything with the water.
He was about to start pumping the water out.
I'm like, it's a whole moment of peace just like turned to shit.
And the issue was easily fixable with the water.
But anyway, I derailed any piece.
And then as soon as I get up and we fix all the water
and everything is working again, Dale comes in
and he wants to take a nap.
He just points to the couch and grunts at me.
He's like, and he used to do this to me
when we were in the bus when we first started dating.
He wouldn't say anything.
He just come in and he'd point to the couch like,
caveman style, like get over here woman.
And it wasn't because he wanted anything other than me to lay down
so he could use me as a pillow.
Yeah.
It's the best.
So it took me a minute to figure this out
because it became a pattern.
And so I'm like, all right, wait, if we're going to do this,
I'm going to go to the bathroom.
I'm going to get some snackies and a glass of wine or something
so that at least I'm entertained.
Because the other thing he would do too
is put something on the TV that you really didn't want to watch
and then like put the remote just far enough out of reach.
Yeah.
So anyway, he tried to pull that shit on me yesterday.
I was like, I don't think so, man.
And then Sonny walks in too again to talk about the water
and he sees Dale doing this.
And he goes, hey, man, I don't need to be here for this.
I'm like, no, no, he just wants me to be his pillow.
But that flew out pretty fast because the kids came right in too after that.
So, but he finally got me yesterday afternoon.
My sleep is all messed up.
Yeah.
I know.
I've noticed you went down to take Gus out last night and never came back.
I was so damn tired.
I knew if I walked back upstairs, it's going to wake me up.
Why don't you just...
So I just went right to the couch to continue sleeping.
Is that what you did?
Because I can get up, get him downstairs, get him outside,
and then get to the couch without actually waking up.
Really?
Yeah.
Like I can be like half asleep and not come all the way out of my...
Do you just have your eyes shut in the elevator?
Kind of.
Because the thing about the dog is he's old and he doesn't go down the stairs at all.
So we have to take him down through the elevator to get out.
And the lights in that thing are bright.
And so yeah, I usually when I take him down,
I do it without really getting all the way awake.
Yeah.
I hit the couch and went right back to sleep.
I don't have a problem falling back asleep.
I just...
And then Gus runs over and jumps on the couch.
Yeah.
And does that help?
Never mind.
Now you're some bodyguard with me and my buddy.
Just two boys hanging out right now.
Me and my buddy.
Okay.
Well, yeah, sleep is weird.
I've gotten in this little loop in the past couple of days.
I don't...
I think it was...
You know what it was?
This is come back from Nashville.
Yep, the Nashville race.
We got done.
We got home at 3.45.
Oh yeah, that kind of threw you off.
I slept.
I've been sleeping five hours at night
and about one hour in the afternoon
for the last several days.
I can't break it.
Last night was the first time that I had good sleep
because I got back Monday at 4.30 in the morning.
And so I've just been off too.
Like it's just...
You ripped pretty hard in Nashville.
Yeah.
All the games and everything y'all played were pretty fun to watch.
I don't know the whole gist of all of the...
The like, was it beer Olympics?
What were you guys doing at the racetrack?
Huh?
I didn't do any...
Wait, what?
Yes, you did.
I saw some squats.
Oh no, that was the...
That was...
That was the Navy thing at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
Oh, that wasn't in Nashville?
No.
Oh.
Man, I do live under a rock.
Sorry, I thought that was in Nashville.
I could see why you...
The clips came out this week.
Yeah.
Okay.
Nashville was just for play.
Is that the first time you've ever done squats?
No.
It was...
It was competition.
I was just trying to get them done fast.
I could tell.
Squats fast is a really funny thing.
I don't care who you are.
Yeah.
No, it looks funny.
That's what's as ridiculous.
I was like, look at him go.
Did you win?
We won though.
Sweet.
Congratulations.
Maybe Freddie and Dalton.
So Denny won Nashville.
They had some bet with Reddick.
And now Denny Bros is on the roof.
Denny Bros?
Denny Bros.
Is that part of their...
Long story short, we give him a hard time about his friendship with Denny.
And so me and TJ started calling him, mainly me,
started calling him Denny Bros.
Oh, hell.
You gave him a team name.
Here's the old Denny Bros.
They're excited today.
What is Denny thinking about this?
Denny loves it.
Our group Texas called the Denny Bros.
Denny's like, finally, somebody did it for me.
Now I don't have to do it myself.
And so they had a bet with Reddick that if Denny beat him at Nashville,
that they would put Denny Bros on the roof of Reddick's car.
I saw that happening.
On the name rail.
So that's the font is very like Mario also.
I'm surprised that Mr. Hanlon doesn't have this registered.
Well, he might be working on it.
He needs to.
But yeah, so they originally said, Steve Valletta said,
we'll put your name on it.
And I was like, I don't know my name.
That's not funny.
This could be his.
You know, instead of like everybody having like nation,
like Hamlin Nation.
Yeah.
This nation.
Yeah.
Denny Bros. is his nation.
It's way more fun to say.
It is.
Especially the way Dale says it.
Denny Bros.
He needs the damn trademark.
He does.
Well, if he needs a jingle too, we need Dale to do that as well.
Denny Bros.
But yeah, so like now I like I want Denny to win this weekend,
but Reddick winning would be cool because then the line,
I'll win diecast.
We'll have the Denny bro on it.
Of course.
Yes.
Because they take pictures of the car.
They don't leave anything out.
Not even.
It's where it's the passenger where the reddick's name is on the passenger side now.
Okay.
Yeah.
I mean, that's a reason to root for him.
That's pretty funny.
Yeah.
But I do agree.
They all need to like go with that.
It's pretty funny.
Yep.
I mean, it's not a posse.
Yeah, we had the DMP, the dirty mo posse.
Yeah.
I've always thought that was so funny, like especially landing on posse,
the word posse, say it over and over again.
It like loses its, it's one of those words that like loses its meaning.
Okay.
You know what it means?
Yes.
No.
I didn't choose it.
It just happened.
Posse.
It chose us.
Posse, posse, posse.
Denny bro.
It's not, I mean, it is what it is.
It is fine.
It's fine.
It's fine.
Are you excited about Pocono this weekend?
Next weekend, taking the kids to Pocono.
Next weekend, you're going where?
This weekend we go to Michigan.
That's right.
Jerry's pub.
Yeah.
Every time I get to the calendar to see what day he's leaving,
I usually just check to see when he's flying out.
There's always like a pub visit on Friday night.
I'm like, so you're pub crawling.
It's like your summer pub crawl.
It's a bar on the side of a lake.
Every weekend with Amazon, they have a dinner.
And that's where the dinner is.
Yeah.
I'm just jealous.
I want you to go.
I got dance recital this weekend.
Tiny girls have their ballet, ballet recital on Saturday.
So dad's going to miss that.
Ballet.
Ballet.
Where are my ballet shoes?
Yeah.
She knows it's wrong and just keeps going with it too now.
She's older enough to know better.
How many dances do they have?
Isla has two and Nicole just has one.
She just has a, I think it's ballet.
Isla does tap and jazz.
I'm going to miss them.
Yeah.
You're going to miss seeing that.
The grand finale.
So since dad's not going to be there, I have a fleet of girls coming.
I think I have like 12.
What time?
It's 12 to 1 on Saturday.
Oh, Saturday.
Yeah.
No, it's not bad.
Last year, I think you were in Nashville.
Is that right?
And you just flew out late and went, you stayed for it.
But yeah, this year it didn't really work out that way.
You can't do that.
But yeah.
So ballet is Saturday.
That's why we're not going to Michigan.
Not, you know, or the beach or anywhere else.
I'll send you videos.
They have, you know what you should do though,
is have flowers to send with me for them.
You know how like you go to a show and you give the kids flowers?
Yeah.
Okay.
I'm going to put that in my notes.
Yeah.
Or maybe just write them a letter or something like knock them dead.
What is it?
I don't know.
A letter in the flowers.
In the flowers.
Yeah.
Maybe we could get some of those.
Don't say break a leg because they won't get it.
They won't get it.
Adam Alexander texts me just now about how funny it is.
He says, I'm monitoring all of the things that are going in the Tahoe
for Wendell Junior's ride.
So if you go to the Dale Junior Foundation on Instagram,
you can see these little clips of me and Amy filling up the back of this Tahoe
with all the s*** we want to put in it.
And it's just stuff we're f*** with, you know?
What's some of the latest items?
Well, like one's like the tiniest Bluetooth speaker I could find.
It's the size of a quarter.
Oh.
It's like this big, but it's perfect.
It's got great sound.
It's perfect.
He bought about 20 of them.
So the funny part about that is he bought them in bulk
because he knew he was going to want to gift them for friends and things.
So he has new ones ready to like give out.
But in the clips, he always talks about what he pulls out of his closet.
And so I think that people are going to misconstru that it's used.
But it is this cute tiny little, it looks like a little pillow almost like it's tiny.
It's like probably perfect for traveling.
Yeah.
You can throw it in any backpack.
It charges up super fast too because it's so small.
Well, what else has gone in it?
Well, you just have to go to the Instagram to take a look.
We can't remember.
Travis rolled.
My favorite thing that's in there, there's two favorite things.
Besides all the high rock and other fun beverages,
we've stuck in there is you get this gigantic wagon that I found at Costco.
It's called the Gorilla and it's huge and it's heavy duty,
but it's also a dump truck.
So if you've got like any type of outdoor yard work or any type of activity outside
where you need something like that is Adam said, it's outstanding.
It's outstanding because I give him about saying the word outstanding all the time.
He says outstanding all the time.
Does he?
What is it that Steve says to your point?
To your point.
To your point.
Yeah.
My favorite thing that we put in the back of the Tahoe are all of the custom patch
hats that I've had made over the last couple of years.
So I'll get like a patch made and I'll do 20 hats and then I take them home
and I don't give them out to anybody.
I would, but I like keep them and they're like piled up in my closet and I'm like,
man, I really need to share these.
It's a good way to share them.
So there's all these hats that I've had custom patches made of like junior motorsports,
jerky boys, all these fun hats.
There's some Dale Earnhardt hats in there.
And so I put a big sleeve of them together.
I think whoever would win the Tahoe will love the patch hats.
Patch hats.
Are you excited about Pocono next week though?
So Pocono weekend is awesome.
The kids were going to Hershey Park.
We went last year and Isla made me so proud.
She got on the big coasters.
It was her first time riding roller coaster ever.
And she was, she made me so, so proud doing it.
And then Nicole watched her do it and wasn't big enough.
This year.
So Nicole has talked about it all year.
Every single.
Am I going to be big enough?
Yes.
Am I going to be big enough?
So we're going back and apparently she's tall enough.
I have Googled it.
We keep one of the standard like kid ruler things in their rooms
and measure them and write the dates.
And she is technically tall enough now to ride all the things Isla
was tall enough to ride last year.
Isla is probably tall enough to ride anything now.
Really close anyway.
But she is so excited.
There's one called the Super Duper Looper and it was made in the 70s.
And it's just got a couple of really simple loops in it.
And she couldn't ride that last year and it broke her heart.
All she wanted to do was go upside down.
We're doing it.
And so this year she gets to go do it.
And Hershey Park is awesome.
It is a great park.
There's a lot of rides.
There's so much chocolate, you know, because Hershey,
the only thing is I don't want to,
I hope we don't have to go through the chocolate bar line again.
They are, you're going to not going to get out of that.
Damn it.
That sucked.
What made you think?
We're going to go to Hershey Park,
but we're not making chocolate bars this year.
Why would we do that?
It just sucked.
There's like a long, slow ass line and this basic ass chocolate bar.
What?
All right.
So grandpa grump is going to sit in the car.
Hey man, the Hershey crew is coming after me, man.
I feel offended myself.
I can't even really say that.
You can sit in the car.
No, look, I like chocolate.
I like Hershey chocolate.
I can buy the freaking candy bar right off the shelf,
standing in that line.
And what, because have you done it before?
No, but it sounds like I'm never going to do it.
So you walk up, listen to anything you see, listen, you walk up,
you go up to this little kiosk and you punch in the candy bar you want to make.
And it's pretty neat.
You got a lot of different selections and stuff.
Tell them what the selections are.
What are they?
I don't remember.
So you get to make your own personalized candy bar.
Your name's on it.
You're good to pick your labels.
They come in a really nice tin, but there's fillings that you can put in.
And there's like six or seven options.
So you can get nothing and just have this giant chocolate bar,
or you can fill it with Heath or Sprinkles or Rice Krispies or all kinds of sh**.
And so you can pick all of them if you want.
You put on a little outfit.
You have your...
You put on a little hair net.
You put on a little face mask.
And a coat.
Are we coated?
Yeah.
Yeah, you're doing all this sh**.
It's awful.
Well, because it's like a clean space.
You don't want to hair your chocolate.
Everyone, all the other, you know, Hershey Park tourists are there just like you.
And you're all in this little line.
And everybody is...
The bar goes through the machine.
The machine is probably...
It's like 40 to 50 feet long?
Yeah, let's say it's 50 feet long.
The bar goes like f***** super slow.
What's killing him is his speed of the whole thing.
The bar is going like f***** barely moving.
And some people can't find their bar
and they're moving back and forth among the line.
That's not true.
Now you're just making things up.
No, I'm not.
Your name is on the TV.
It tells you what section you're f***** in.
It tells you exactly when your bar is doing the things.
That's why people are going so slow.
And then the bar goes into these little...
The bar goes into these little machines.
And there's a couple little pee poles.
You can see your bar crossed by.
When they're covering it with the chocolate
or putting specific things in.
And the people stand at the end of the machine
waiting on their bar to come out.
You don't get to come out.
They're waiting, waiting, waiting.
You're uninvited.
Waiting, waiting, waiting.
You're waiting behind them.
You're waiting behind their f*****.
Waiting, waiting, waiting.
It just takes forever.
The whole point is watching the process be done.
It's fun for little kids.
Clearly he has done it before and we don't need to go back.
We brought it.
Bill can sit in the car.
Or he can go shop in the big store.
Because last year after we went through the chocolate bar situation.
There's one little ride you can do and it's great.
Really like old school.
Like probably original to the space.
So it's fun to see.
But clearly you don't need to go do that anymore either.
We brought those home.
They didn't eat them.
They laid in the damn fridge.
They didn't eat them because we wouldn't let the kids eat them.
They weren't going to eat the whole thing at once.
But now they're older.
The only person that doesn't have control with chocolate
besides Dale is Nicole.
Isla, she'll eat a couple of bites and be fine.
But I don't get what's...
You're not doing anything physically to make the chocolate yourself.
There's too many people.
You can go to different chocolate shops and physically make it.
You just go to the kiosk.
Why can't I just hit the enter button?
And you just follow the sum of the **** on the **** tram.
Yeah, I'm with Dale on this one.
I could just walk through the check-out line at a gas station there.
Grocery store and pick up a chocolate bar.
Well, there's a giant market with all the chocolate there also.
Dale spent more time buying bags and bags of **** he then threw away.
It is a **** handy store the size of Junior Motor Store.
It is.
It's huge.
It is **** awesome.
And everything you can imagine.
That is entertaining.
So that's what he will do while we're making chocolate bars.
You can get the grocery shopping done and we'll come make chocolate.
I'd be with Dale on this one.
I went into the...
I think he would enjoy doing it at least once.
It just took so long because there were so many people.
Yeah, I don't want to wait and stand.
No.
It was going to start to rain.
So here's the thing, there were rain clouds coming.
Everybody went to do that at the same time.
And that's why it took so long.
Dale doesn't get to go.
No, you are being punished.
That was so rude.
Dude, at least have a bar there.
Who talks about Willy Wonka or Hershey?
Willy Wonka's awesome.
With such disdain.
I just don't enjoy the candy bar making thing.
What if we start with that this year?
Start the trip off with a bang, standing in line.
It won't be anybody in line.
Everybody's just going to be riding the other coaster.
I don't go do it if there's not a massive rush to it.
But I thought that was probably the most popular.
Everybody...
It's that thing that everybody's like,
well, we can't go and not do that because that's the thing.
That's like the finale that you're making the candy bar.
You're at Hershey Park.
You're at a...
That's their thing is candy bars.
So you're making your own.
It's like the finale of the trip.
So I assumed that it would always...
It's always going to be this sort of hustling, bustling, busy space.
It might be, but we do have a guide helping us.
So we could probably plan it out better.
We also went right when everybody was trying to get out of the rain.
We go into the Junior Merch Sports size candy store.
We buy all the f***ing candy.
Ridiculous.
Because you're looking at it and you're like,
oh, I gotta have some of that.
They also have flavors of things that they don't have in it.
I've seen these in years.
Man, I haven't had this in forever.
And you come out of there and boy, you...
Everybody, everybody sacks a freaking candy.
A grocery cart full of s***.
Take it home and we're like...
What did we just do?
We're not f***ing this s***.
Bring it in next week.
We should have shared it.
We should have.
We didn't even bring it home from the Pocono house.
Like we put it all in the freezer to hide it from the kids and left it in there.
No, we didn't.
I brought it back.
You did?
Yes.
Have you been eating on it secretly?
No, it's gone gone.
I mean, that was a year ago.
I know.
I ate on it a little bit, but then I realized I needed to get rid of it.
Okay, you ordered the s***.
You only f***ing candy in the s*** rental house?
Well, I would have.
I thought that's what you were doing.
I didn't leave in a bam two pound bag of chocolate.
Hershey kisses in the Airbnb.
Oh my God.
Who does that?
The same guy.
I figured the same guy that didn't want to make the chocolate to begin with.
We go to the Airbnb.
Amy's the kind of person who's like,
we got to clean out all the refrigerator.
We got to the candy.
They tell you to do that.
I'm like, f*** it.
Leave it in there for the next person.
You don't.
Just water.
Yeah.
Leave it in the bottle of water in there.
I don't take out the water, Ralph.
God, he's so dramatic.
He will make some s*** up.
Cleaners come through.
And you don't, you can leave the...
There's usually like a list of things they want you to do.
You can leave that cheese in there.
Yeah.
No.
I would never eat anybody else's cheese.
Here's some eggs.
Sorry.
There's a couple of things I might touch, but cheese ain't one of them.
That's your favorite thing.
Hey, this is...
Would you?
What if there's some cheddar cheese in there?
Fresh bananas.
And if I showed up to Airbnb and there was food in there,
I'd throw it out.
But I wouldn't hate the person that left it.
I wouldn't be like, yeah, I get it.
There's an unopened bag of chips.
I'm going to open those puppies up and eat them.
Unopened, yes.
Chips, maybe.
What about an open cheese?
Unopened cheese.
What kind of cheese is it?
Cheddar cheese.
Nacho cheese.
It's like we're not eating somebody else's cheese.
Gross.
Now I don't even like cheese.
Cheese is gross now.
Cheese and posse are in the same little pocket together.
Cheese and posse.
You can sit over here in the corner.
Oh my gosh.
I got you a surprise.
Can I give him a surprise?
Am I ready for this?
Sure, show.
Sure.
What are you getting me surprises for?
Well, I thought about you when I saw this,
so I really wanted you to have it.
Come on, get in there.
It won't bite.
It looks like it did bite it one time.
Wait, be careful with her.
Her?
Her.
This is some sort of an animal.
The suspense.
Put the mic in front of you.
Is this a squirrel?
Put your microphone next to you.
This looks like a squirrel.
Yeah, it's a squirrel.
What?
On a pole.
There's tape on the top.
Don't break her.
She's your new best friend.
What the f**k is this?
Amy.
What?
How cute is that?
What is this?
I saw that and I thought,
Dale needs to have that.
Why?
It's like, it could be like your new Wilson.
You could sit and chit chat with it.
It chit chat with it.
It would chit chat back.
The f**k is going on with you.
I really thought she was cute.
What is the f**k?
I don't understand.
Listen, you're wanting to deck it out.
Where did you see this?
I saw it online.
I actually really bought this for our neighbor Margo
because they are moving and she's from West Virginia
and she sent me this forever ago.
And she's like, look at this little critter.
I'm like, and they were sold out.
So they had a new drop and I bought one immediately.
And I was like, Dale needs to have this.
We could put it in the bar.
You can hang out with it.
Or nobody else is there.
You can talk to it.
We need a name for the squirrel.
That's what I was thinking.
We need a name.
She needs a name.
Damn.
I mean, her technique is pretty damn good.
Now I know where your question that you text me comes from.
I told Travis to be thinking of his favorite stripper names.
Do you have any that come to mind?
He's terrified.
Oh my gosh.
We could call her Destiny.
We could call her...
She's from Missouri, by the way.
So that's the thing.
You get on Black Moth and they have a few of these
and all the squirrels come from different states.
So she's from Missouri.
I felt like she was the cutest.
She, when she was alive, she was in Missouri.
Yeah. Yeah. She was alive.
She was in Missouri.
That's f***ing wild.
Is it Missouri or Missouri?
Amy, it's pronounced Missouri.
Are you okay?
Listen, I'm having a great day.
Is this a call for help?
I haven't even had a cocktail yet.
No, this isn't a call for help.
I'm so excited about this little critter.
She needs a little fluff on her back.
She's a little...
Maybe we can put her on the set of DJD.
No.
Why not?
Well, put her on this set.
Don't you want to take her to the beach house?
Put her next to the boom base.
Why do you want to take her to the beach house?
I figured she could sit in the bar and you could...
Like, like a bar.
No, this is scary.
This is scary?
I'm just going to just come alive any minute.
It is a really good...
It's a really good squirrel.
Yeah, very well put together.
Um...
Yeah, so we need a name.
She's soft.
Wasn't there a squirrel on Doorbell Clear this week?
Was there?
Uh, I think he called in because of Cletus being on.
Squirrel, McNally.
But I thought I saw some squirrel.
Maybe it was in the artwork or something.
I think...
In the thumbnail.
I don't know.
I wasn't on that show, but I think Squirrel did call in or something.
A guy named Squirrel called in.
I'm going to put it for the time being on top of the...
No, leave it right there.
I don't like it so close.
Why?
Cause it's creepy.
You have dead animals in the house.
What do you mean?
They're up on walls.
I'm not, like, sitting next to them.
We stare at them all day.
I know, but I'm not next to the deer head.
Well, you were when you killed it.
No, I wasn't.
Well, I'll take a picture with it.
That elk you drugged down the mountain.
Like, you've been around animals.
I carried that down the mountain.
I know.
It's just a squirrel.
Amy, here's what you do.
Now that I know he's scared of it,
I'm going to tote that s*** around everywhere.
And when you get out of bed early before him one morning,
put the squirrel in your house.
Just staring at him.
Just sit on my pillow.
Yes.
I'm going to put it in his rig.
It's going to be racing his car.
You see that Instagram reel I put on my story?
Oh, man, so good.
Well, what is it?
Don't hold out.
I'm surprised you didn't see it.
You don't never look at my Instagram.
I know you try to tell me that I'm on my phone all the time,
but I don't ever see yourself.
You're always on Instagram,
but you don't ever look at my s***.
You're looking at somebody.
You're always looking at everybody else s***
in my s***.
Simrig one?
Yeah, it's so good.
What is it?
Are we going to watch it?
If your wife is...
No, you got to play it.
Oh, yeah, I've seen this.
But it's a girl's talking about buying a handbag.
Yeah.
If you buy the Chanel bag,
if he's angry at you already,
he's still going to be angry if you buy the bag.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
You had that rig before I even came around,
so I feel like that doesn't even apply to you.
I got my rig in 2020, honey.
You've had...
Didn't we have one raced on the desk?
Well, whatever.
It's kind of the same thing.
Tomato tomato.
Yeah.
What?
Racing at a desk is not a rig.
It's racing.
It's just...
Yeah, I understand.
I ain't mad at the rig.
I know.
It was just funny.
But the squirrel's going to sit in it.
To show his s***.
I don't like you.
What's wrong with him?
It's so strange.
Her feelings are hurt.
You should say you're sorry.
Mercedes is upset with you.
Mercedes?
Mercedes.
That's too fancy for Missouri.
What?
He does not know who we married right now.
He's like, what the hell happened to my wife?
Listen, I can't believe you don't like it.
You can't believe it, really.
Do you not have a sense of humor?
Is this supposed to be fun?
It is funny.
She's trying to give you a hug.
She's like, got a little handcuffed.
You should turn her so she's looking directly at you.
She heard you like physical touch.
Oh, man.
Hey, girl.
Stop it.
She actually doesn't slide up and down.
That'd be fun.
They should make it where it spins.
Black Moth, are you listening?
Spin.
We want a spinning squirrel.
Am I up?
We could call her Blanche.
Okay.
Blanche?
I don't know.
She's got lots of fur.
Like one of the golden girls.
Thank you for being a friend.
See, maybe I should just talk to her.
She could be my new best friend.
She'll listen to you.
All right.
Do we have a game?
Should we do the drink first?
Oh, we should do the drink.
Yes, our drink of the week presented by High Rock.
What is our drink of the week?
What is it called today?
The Cherry Vodka Sour.
It's a cute little drink.
Must be strong.
Is it good?
Yeah, super tart.
Yeah, not bad.
Very good.
So two ounces of High Rock vodka,
one ounce of lemon juice,
three quarters of an ounce of simple syrup,
a half an ounce of cherry syrup,
and then you garnish it with cherries as well.
So you can just pour that right in the glass.
Delicious.
Visit highrockvodka.com to find a bottle near you.
They have a store locator that you can use to find
any of the High Rock or Sugar Lens products.
You must be 21 years or over.
Please drink responsibly.
Dirty Mo Media has a new show coming out
called This Cowboy Life.
It's featuring Jerome and Tiffany Davis,
the royal couple of the PBR.
You don't want to miss it.
Check this out.
Bring the energy.
Wake up.
I can tell that through all these stories,
through all your world championship,
I know that in your head,
you've always said,
I'm going to be a podcaster one day.
You know, I hope that at the end of the day,
that it'll bring somebody that hasn't really been around
this life that we live,
and it brings them to a whole new world.
And somebody will say,
dang, maybe these cowboys hate so bad after all.
I think if you can bring some smiles,
I love to hear Jerome's stories
and just how he carries himself.
So I'm all about if people can get a grin out of it,
if they can smile a little bit.
What's it going to be like, Jerome,
to have Tiffany as a co-host to a podcast?
Whoa, man.
See, this gift of gab I have,
maybe it'll come in a little handy on this deal.
If I keep Tiffany quiet every now and then,
so she'll let me talk, we'll be in good shape.
The only bad thing is I'm going to have to hear your stories
that I've heard 100 million times.
I'm going to have to hear them another time.
And they just get better every time.
Yeah, they do get a little more added into them every time.
I don't know why she puts up with me
and why she helps living this life that we go through,
but she does and she's awesome.
As far as 14, 1998, from when they opened the gate
to when you get hit, what do you remember from that?
The bull I had that night was knocking about John
and I'd been on him before
and he had hit me in the face in Vegas one time.
So I knew that I had to really stay over the front end
and try not to let him hit me in the face.
As it worked that night, he got me rocked back
and hit me in the face and knocked me out.
When he did, I dove in the ground, broke my neck.
Went from being at the top of my game
to the worst part of my life.
All happened within a gate opening at a bull ride.
I was as mad at God because I was like,
mind, did you do this to John?
He's a good guy.
You needed him on your team out here.
We were supposed to be getting married in May.
Right after I got hurt, I was at the hospital
and I told T.F. I said, I don't think this is going to work.
You need to, we need to regroup.
This is not the trail you need to be going down in.
If she would have left that day, I wouldn't have blamed her.
You know what I mean?
And I never would have said a bad word about her.
I never gave thought about leaving.
That wasn't an option, because I still had drum.
I couldn't talk her into it, so I was kind of glad
she hung around, I'll be honest.
I lived through it and it just made me tougher
and I was able to make a pretty good living at the sport.
It's been good to me.
When I look around and see everything that's here today,
it all comes from the love of the sport.
I mean, everything I wanted to do had to do with being a cowboy.
What is going on with the birds over there?
You just missed this whole shot.
I'm going to redo it, but I couldn't,
the birds missed the whole shot up, not me.
I thought we'd get ready to get attacked.
You like that dog bit.
I thought the birds was coming after us.
There was so many of them.
Just stay focused.
It's going to really bring a new light to what
this cowboy life's really about.
Hey, y'all, Dale and I are in the Dirty My Media Studio
for another round of Ask Amy.
We're excited for your questions.
What do you have?
So first question is, if you are at the gas station
and the pump says, see cashier, what do you do?
See cashier means I'm getting frustrated before I've even
done anything.
Why do they do that?
Like I go in, I pay, I see the cashier, of course.
So you actually go in though?
But what's the, yeah.
I mean, because I'm there because I need the gas.
I'm not going to go to another station.
But do you go to another pump?
No.
I'd rather just walk in and move my car to be honest.
Wait, you think the other pumps,
you don't have to see the cashier?
Yeah.
Or I'll try it again.
I'll just try to pump the gas anyways.
I always thought it was because sometimes I wanted you
to prepay or do whatever with your card
before you actually pumped any gas.
I remember prepaying with cash, but with credit,
like that doesn't...
Like a pre-approval or something.
I don't know.
It just depends on where you are.
I've had that happen.
It's usually that.
I'm not going in.
I try to mash the reset button to start over.
Just keep tapping or keep, or like if it's a tap.
I do not move to the next pump.
No, I'm not going to move the car.
No.
Like if it's a tap.
I'd rather go to a different gas station
than just move my car in the same one out of spite.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
Like if it's a tap, I'll then try to maybe insert the
card and see if that'll work differently.
Like, but I'm not moving.
Now, is it appropriate to leave your car at the pump
and go in and get stuff?
Yeah.
Yeah, sure.
I mean, especially if it's not busy.
If it's busy and somebody clearly is waiting to get gas
and you've done your business, you should move.
I think you move.
I think you move.
Period.
Really?
I wouldn't move unless it was busy.
Because what happens if it gets busy?
I mean, how long are you in the damn store?
What do you buy?
What are you buying?
What are you saying?
I mean, I'm sure it is most courteous to move your car,
but yeah.
What are you buying in this drug?
What are you buying in the gas station?
That's a good question.
What are you buying?
Candy.
What kind?
What kind?
Do you know what you want?
I like to peruse and see what they got.
You never know.
That's why you're moving your car.
He's perusing.
Because you never know what they're going to get.
I would like have standards.
I always get something to drink and then like M&Ms
or pretzels or something.
Keep it simple.
Yeah, basic, basic trusted items.
Yeah.
Next question is, what is your favorite George Strait song?
Easy Come, Easy Go.
I also really like The Fireman.
My favorite is Run.
Oh, that's a good one.
Across My Heart is another good one.
From Pure Country.
I watched the hell out of that movie as a kid.
Dusty.
No, I also like I come to expect it from you.
Is that the name of the song?
That's a great song.
That's a great song.
He's got so many good ones.
Yeah.
So, so many.
Wrapped is a good one.
Wrapped around your finger.
Yes, that's a good one.
Have you seen the documentary on Prime about Dean Dillon?
Nope.
The songwriter for basically all of George's stuff?
No, and Tim's been trying to tell us to watch that.
It's really good.
You said it's really good.
Yeah.
No, I haven't watched it.
We need to put that on our list.
We tried to watch some really ridiculous show last night
that popped up on my feed.
Ever since we started watching all these like random
documentaries that we've been talking about,
now my phone's giving me some even more weird ones.
And it was about these models in Studio 54.
I fell asleep for 10 minutes and I couldn't.
I couldn't.
Amy's like, hey, Amy hits me up on Instagram
and DM and she goes, let's watch this.
She's doing something in the house and I'm doing,
I'm messing with my car or something.
And she's like, let's watch this.
I'm like, all right.
She's like, let's put the kids to bed.
So I get up, put the kids down.
We get downstairs, we sit down, we turn this thing on
and we're sitting there watching for like 10 minutes
and I look over and Amy's like,
arm in the air, suspended out.
I was, yeah, I was.
And I could tell she wouldn't,
she wasn't watching because she was down into the pillows
and the blanket and everything.
And they're like, she couldn't even see the TV
from a vantage point.
I tried.
And so I started tickling the palm of her hand
and she woke up.
She was like, I was like.
I'm pretty sure I was drooling on myself.
My mouth was open, it was bad.
But the show was really bad too.
It was bad.
I forget what it was.
Yeah.
Something about, I don't remember.
If you get an advertisement for
something about Studio 54 and male models,
don't watch it.
It's really strange.
It's a series too.
It's not just one episode.
It was about a cult.
It's a cult.
It's a cult thing.
I couldn't really figure the cult part out though.
Like what are they culting over?
Yeah.
I couldn't figure that out.
It didn't have any real sense.
Yeah.
Are you something that would give up on,
if you don't like a show or a movie,
will you instantly give up?
Or are you trying to like see it through?
If it's a series,
and I know people around me have watched it
and they say it's good, I'll try.
Sometimes it takes an episode or two
to get into a series like that.
I'll try.
But if it's a movie or even a show like that, nope.
I'm off.
I'm off.
I'm either falling asleep or I just turn it off.
This one was about,
there was this guy that wanted to surround himself
with beautiful people.
And so it was female and male models.
It was all types of people and they were all in the scene
of the fashion model scene.
And they, he had this big building complex in New York City
where there's a lot of rooms and apartments and stuff.
And I don't know, they were a cult.
And there's not, we didn't finish it.
There wasn't anything frisky going on though.
There was no like.
No.
No.
There wasn't.
I don't know.
I mean, we didn't really finish it.
I did remember hearing him say that.
There was no like.
At first there was no, nothing nefarious.
Nefarious.
And then I'm assuming that it all went sideways at some point,
but we didn't get to that part.
No, we didn't.
I definitely didn't.
But yeah.
Clearly if Amy's falling asleep, it's probably not.
She's a snoozer.
Are you a quick fall asleep person though?
On the couch?
Yes.
And the bed?
No.
I lay in bed like trying to think about all the things
I'm supposed to be doing or I just play on my phone.
If I lay on the couch and especially if I watch something
that's new for whatever reason, it's really easy for me
to zone out and fall asleep.
I don't know.
Not in the bed?
That's why you're not supposed to get on your phone
in your bed because.
Yeah, that's what they say.
Your body then thinks it's supposed to be awake in the bed.
So that's, I don't, I'm the opposite.
If I go, if I go upstairs to get in bed, like going up,
the act of going upstairs, brushing my teeth and all that stuff
like wakes me up.
Like I get in the bed and if I open my phone, I don't care
if I'm looking at eBay or Instagram or reading anything.
Like it makes me super tired.
It's the reading part.
Yeah.
But the light is supposed to like.
Well, I turned my light on my phone down to zero
because I'm trying not to bother her.
So I turned my sound off and my screen brightness
as low as possible.
You need to get like those covers that like prevent people
from seeing your phone.
You want a shade screen?
No, that would cause problems.
We're not doing a shade screen.
But then you wouldn't worry about the brightness.
No.
When you think something was up if I put a shade screen
on my phone.
No, I would actually like be so I could be curious as to what
I was looking at, even though it was really curious as to what
you're looking at.
I know I can't even see what you're looking at now.
I'm not blind.
Shade screen or not.
Like dude, I'm, if I don't have my glasses on, I can't read
her screen at all from any distance.
So what's the big deal?
Then we keep the brightness down.
I mean, I don't look at my phone in the middle of the night
either.
I'm not waking you up.
I like this privacy screen because you're in, you know,
if you're in the booth with the guys working and somebody
texts you or you text me or something, I don't need
everybody to look at my phone and seeing what my wife's
saying or what anybody's saying.
Well, you got your watch on.
I know, but when I'm doing work, I turn my watch off.
So when I'm at the, when I'm, when I'm doing pre-race and
post-race, I turn the alerts on my watch off because I don't
want that the camera catching all my alerts.
Okay. Well, that's good.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I feel like a shade screen is silly.
It's good.
It's, it would be really nice with everything but you
because it's privacy, you know.
What they'll, yeah, people read your messages.
Who's reading your messages?
Like who's around you?
Read your shit in an airplane or something.
I mean, you know, at the bar, you're in your own airplane.
Nobody's reading your phone.
But if you're at the bar.
Put your phone away.
Talk to your friends.
We don't need to have your phone out at the bar.
Who are we texting?
Put it on.
Do not disturb.
So you're not getting like alerts all the time.
We're in meetings and we're in these little rental trailers
where we have our production meeting and stuff.
And there's so little room in there.
There's people sitting at the table and then there's people
lying against the wall.
And so, I mean, you know, you get a, you've got your phone
there, so I text you or you get an alert.
Something got shipped to your house or whatever, right?
You know, your eBay delivery got to the mailbox.
It don't matter what it is.
What the hell does it matter if anybody sees that?
I just don't want anyone seeing anything happening on my phone.
I don't know.
I'd prefer it.
It's fine because there is nothing nefarious,
but I just prefer that it not be, you know.
I feel like y'all are overthinking it.
I think nobody's looking at your phone.
And it's not that big of a deal.
The only time really it's a big deal is your giant phone
or your iPad is making all the light in the middle of the night.
I'll give you a good example.
Even under the cover.
I'll give you a good example.
All right.
This is a really good example.
I'm ready for it.
It's really good.
It's really good.
The dumb thing about Twitter is you can't tell it to open up
on the follow thread.
Like when you open Twitter, it opens up on the for you.
It doesn't open on the follow.
So like if I could tell Twitter just to show me only the people that I follow,
that's what I would want and I wouldn't have nothing else on there.
I didn't even know that it did that.
It opens up on the for you.
So it's all this suggested and it gets a little out of hand sometimes.
Yeah.
And there's ads and stuff that you're like,
I don't really want to see this ad.
This isn't, you know, not wrong.
No.
And so, you know, you're looking at your Twitter feed and you're going through there
and you got there's on there that you don't really associate with,
but you're like, well, what the fuck?
I'm just going to the next thing.
But people might see it and go, oh, wow, does he follow that?
Or does he just does he subscribe to that theory or that idea?
I hear you.
And it's kind of like, all right, you're not going to.
I mean, Twitter sucks.
So just leave that at that.
That is a sucky thing about Twitter is that they force the for you part.
You can't pick it and tell it.
Just I want to just see who I'm following only.
I don't really like that about Instagram.
Not to the threads because like the threads banners going through there.
Oh, yeah.
And sometimes it tricks me.
I know you'll see something.
I don't like that.
I want to watch that.
But don't touch.
Leave the app.
Yeah, don't touch.
Don't think about touching it.
Don't touch it.
Just don't touch.
All right.
Next question is, is it appropriate to pick up fruit and vegetables at the grocery store
and then put it back down if you don't like it?
Well, Travis.
What?
I am the kind of chick that.
Is it appropriate to pick up fruit and vegetables at the grocery store to expect it?
Don't do this.
Don't, don't admit to what you're doing.
Why?
Okay.
It's too late.
I'm pretty sure people have seen me anyway.
Dale refuses to have anything but super crunchy grapes.
I don't touch the actual fruit.
I do it through the bag.
So let's just start there.
But I do touch the grapes and see which ones are the crunchiest.
I'll pick them up and I'm looking at the bottom and make sure there's.
Yeah, through the bag.
Yeah.
Oh no, not touching the actual fruit itself.
Yeah.
Oh, I'll pick up an apple.
I mean, apples are different because you're going to clean the shit out of those anyway
or peel them.
Grapes are not, you're not going to do that with them.
You're going to eat the whole skin and the whole thing.
So I love green grapes and the more sour tart, the better.
It's super hard to find the grapes like that.
Most most green grapes are kind of pretty, pretty middle of the road and sweet.
Yeah.
But you know, you got to, you do got to squeeze the grapes
because they're not super crunchy.
They're worthless soft grapes.
The flavor changes too.
He won't eat them.
The softer, the more ripe they get, I suppose, the more sweet they get.
But yeah, so I will make sure they're crunchy.
And then as I'm perusing in the store, I might eat one.
I did that the other day and he's like, you ate one in the store.
I was like, yes, it was already in my cart.
No, that's not.
They're so nasty.
So you're paying by the weight.
Well, I used to not, I regrettably trust me.
They have a trust.
I used to not wash grapes.
Sometimes I'd just get them and eat them.
And yeah, I do that.
Dude, dude, they're nasty.
Like I get done eating them and my hands are dirty.
And I'm like, holy shit, this is on the grapes.
And I know everybody's going on the other side of the screen telling us all the crap.
They're spraying all those grapes and everything.
Well, I don't, I get you organic grapes.
I watched the shit out of my guys.
Now we soak them in baking soda and get all the stuff off.
But I washed crap out of them.
There was a while where he was, you know, they're riding in these, you know,
they're riding in these trucks or however they get transported.
And the great bag itself is prefered.
So it's like all the dirt and road grime and everything else.
I mean, all the shipping grime, sneezing, whatever.
It's just dirty.
Yeah.
They're nasty as hell.
Yeah, you should wash them.
Yeah, I do pick up some of the things like potatoes, whatever, like you're peeling.
I don't feel like that's a big deal.
But if it's something you're going to put right in your mouth, I don't touch it.
An apple I'll pick up and I'll put back down.
It picks it up.
I don't think that's that big of a deal.
He lifts things and he puts them down.
I pick things up, I put them down.
Look at, make sure it's not bruised.
The next time you go to the grocery store and you pick an apple up,
I want you to say, I pick things up, I put things down.
I also, if I put it down, I, if I put it down, I assume nobody else is going to want that apple.
Hey, when you, when you, do you put it in the back so that nobody else grabs it?
You crush your shop.
When you grocery shop, do you talk to the other grocery shoppers?
Yeah.
Say hello.
Say, oh, do you talk to anybody?
You do?
Oh yeah.
Like, why do you do that?
It's being nice.
If I make eye contact with someone, I'm going to say hello.
Wait, this isn't a line.
The last time we had a grocery store conversation, it was about wearing headphones or earbuds
while you're grocery shopping.
And you said, I don't want to talk to anybody in the grocery store,
so I'm going to wear my headphones if I want to.
And now we're talking, we're making friends at the grocery store.
Yeah.
I mean, I don't have a problem.
Somebody has their headphones on.
I know that was annoying for some people,
but I don't mind if you got your headphones on, you're coming at me.
I'm just, I'm just going to nod.
And I'm not going to say anything because you can't hit me, but I'm all.
Give me a hand.
Are you giving people finger guns?
I don't know.
Let's not do finger guns.
Sometimes I do the.
Do you aim it and do one of these?
Sometimes I will.
If I know that they're going to, if I know that they're trying to resist
communication, I go a little bit.
Do you holster them afterwards?
Try to, it's like trying to break a wild horse.
Yeah.
I'd pay to see that.
I like to, to the people that don't want to communicate back are the best,
because then you got to try harder.
Yeah, you got to break them.
I like that was like talking to you back in the day.
Really?
Yeah.
And now we're grocery shopping and shooting people.
It's great.
Let's holster those puppies going forward at the grocery store.
I feel like we need to really do that to someone just to see.
And I really want you to say, I pick things up, I put things down.
Especially if somebody's standing close to you, like just to wig them out a little bit.
Next time I'm, if someone's by me, I'm like, hey, this apple, not good.
Oh no, that's not, that's not funny.
Just letting them know.
You should just set it on the board.
You should say something like the apples are good this week.
You should just see them if it's not true or you don't know, just make it up.
Or go to a fruit that's not.
Don't say something bad.
Go to the mangoes and.
Say something positive.
Ask anybody if they want to papaya, like just, you know.
The best apples I've seen all week.
You move away from the apples and the first person you come in contact with,
you go, the apples are good this week.
That's how you make friends at the grocery store.
Yeah.
You might find your new best friend.
Do you ever peel the corn at the grocery store?
No.
I don't.
If I find a good bag of grapes, I give an audible hell yeah.
Loud enough for the people within earshot can hear me.
Do you really?
No, he does that.
I do.
I go, I do it like a, not a hell yeah.
It's more like a hell yeah.
You know, you give a fist bump.
The person that's like five or so feet away.
I want them to know that I got a great bag of grapes.
I feel like we need a grocery store run.
I'm flacking myself up for the rest of the,
as a group.
I'm swiping myself up for the rest of the grocery shop and trip.
Because it is the first, like usually the first stop.
Grates are early.
Yeah.
Grates are real early, right in the door.
Do you ever put the grapes in the freezer?
We have done that, but I soaked them in champagne first.
That's really good.
Soaking them in champagne, freezing them, then you roll them in sugar when you take
them out when they're just like a little bit of so good.
Of course.
Yeah.
We do it.
I would just do water.
Put them in the freezer and we thought we were kicking ass.
Soaking them in champagne and rolling them in sugar.
You do you.
I'll do me.
You took it a step further.
So good.
Yeah.
I was just doing water.
I thought I was classing up the joint.
Next question is, how long are you willing to wait at a restaurant for your table?
None.
Not at all.
If it's just us two, maybe five minutes is max.
But there's too many options to wait.
If we've not made a reservation, we go in knowing we might be coming right back out,
just depending on where we are.
We went, uh, one of our favorite places on Sullivan's Island.
We went to Longboard.
We went to Longboard.
He wanted the corn.
We wanted the corn salad.
So we got on Longboard and they're like, it's going to be 30 minutes.
We had the kids with us.
We're like, yep.
They were already turning upside down on the bench.
We're like, no, they're already breaking shit out of here.
Yeah.
We had 30 minutes for a table.
But we didn't have a reservation.
We just were winging it.
When would you, when did you go with that?
Five o'clock.
It was Friday night.
Okay.
Five or six.
Right?
Thursday night?
I don't know.
Whenever you were there.
So I went on that Saturday.
It was Friday night.
Pretty dead, to be honest.
Dude, I mean, you can look in there.
There's plenty of empty tables.
They just have a.
It's officially summer time now.
So I think that's part of it.
They just have a plan.
Yeah.
I don't know their plan.
I don't question it.
I just say, all right, we'll go to the next place.
Yeah.
We should, what we should have asked before we left is,
is there corn in here or do you not have corn in here?
Corn salad.
We might wait.
We might go to the pub for a drink and come back.
Damn, we could have done that.
We could have done that.
We weren't thinking.
We're, our kids, so you, you hate kids in public
and it will make you spin out.
It'll make you wig out.
You just, you don't act like yourself.
Yeah.
When those moments are happening
and there's other people saying they're too waiting
and there's people watching.
If the kids are acting a fool,
you just, the first thing you do is abort mission.
Because you get stressed and you're not happy.
So where'd you guys end up going?
Where did we go?
Next one?
Next one.
Yeah.
Which is what the girls wanted anyway.
We got to the, we have a couple of projects.
Steve LaTart likes the, I got just got a text.
Steve likes the Blackstone that we're putting
in the Wendell Juniors ride.
All of your friends are looking through the.
Yeah.
They're watching the videos on Instagram.
Of the car.
On the Dale Junior Foundation Instagram.
And they're texting me about all the cool stuff that they love
that we're putting in the back of the Tahoe
for the Wendell Juniors ride.
Maybe we should put one of these in there.
That's a sales, sales pitch.
Yes.
Put the squirrel in there.
Yeah, please put that in there.
I got this for Dale as a gift and he doesn't like it.
She can hear you.
I do think it'd be good at the, at your bar though.
I don't want it.
I think it would work there.
We could put it in Whiskey River for sure.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Yeah.
It's fine.
Right next to the rail snake.
We'll take it to the freaking beach and then
can hang out there.
But at the beach, we go there.
We hadn't seen, we hadn't been there in a while.
They are putting in new drainage
on the street for the sea water and for the rain water.
Every time it rains all around our house,
side and front floods and you can't even get over to the beach.
I mean floods on a foot in the intersection.
Yeah, and it takes forever to go away.
Yeah, it does.
And so they're putting in new drainage pipes
and these things are
gigantic.
Five foot in diameter more maybe.
And they have dug up a trench in the street
from one block all the way down two blocks.
Two blocks, they've dug this giant trench in the street.
So the streets up can't use it.
The trench is wide enough to put a container in it.
Yeah.
There's a container that moves down.
That's how they keep the dirt out.
So they're putting the pipe down the street
and you can't use the road.
So we couldn't even use the driveway.
Yeah, the driveway is locked off.
Can't get out of the garage or anything.
We're trapped in the house.
Yeah, but it's good.
They're getting along.
I've been watching them on my cameras.
Some of our neighbors have had issues with
like they've broken water mains and like toilets
coming, having water coming out of them in their house.
There's always collateral damage.
So far we have had none of those issues,
but the neighbors have all been really frustrated
with the process since they lived there.
I go out there and make friends with them.
He walked straight out there and was like,
hey man, make him buddies.
Oh, that's the best.
Talk to them off in waters or something.
I go out there and make friends with them.
And they're like, I said, there's, you know,
they're working their ass off.
They are working their ass off.
They're moving these giant ass pipes
and running all this heavy machinery and shit,
digging this trench in the middle of the freaking summer.
And I'm like, man, you know, I'm glad you guys
are doing this work.
I'm sure glad I ain't having to do all this hard work
trying to compliment them, you know.
And they're like, they're like, yeah.
I was like, it's going good.
Everybody going, everybody, yeah, everything going good.
And he's like, yeah, everything's good.
There's a couple of people around here that are upset,
you know, on the, on the, I'm like, all right.
Well, you know, just kind of,
you get the information by talking to them.
They pow out and had a discussion
over where they'll wander the pavers.
Oh yeah.
They're like, hey, we're going to take some of your pavers up.
I'm like, do what you gotta do there, man.
Just stack them on the brick here.
Don't stack them on the yard.
Don't put them on the grass, man.
We'll be good.
Sure.
If you don't go down there and ask them or tell them
or whatever, they're going to do whatever.
Now they're going to be nicer to you.
They're going to treat your stuff better.
They did.
They were, they were great.
They did stop working rather early on.
Like, I guess it was Thursday.
But I've watched them on the camera.
They're now down past our house.
So they've got this, the pipes in the ground,
the dirt back on the pipe,
and they're hopefully going to be putting
some black top down here soon.
Yeah, I hope so.
You know, you've reached peak old status
when you're watching them on the camera, Dale.
I know.
I'm sorry.
That's your enjoyment.
Well, we're going down there in July.
So I'm hoping that there's some black top on the,
so we can get the golf cart out of the garage.
Yeah.
Just being able to use the house.
And yeah, how are you?
We didn't.
We didn't.
We didn't get anything.
We drove our Tahoe to dinner.
So the thing is too, like, on the front side of the house,
it's public parking for the beach.
So we could park, we could park there,
but anybody else could also park there.
So if you left to do anything,
you might not have anywhere to park around the house.
So that was a little difficult, but it was fine.
You had to find a way to, like,
barricade it off when you need to drive off,
so you still have it.
Well, the beach police probably would have got,
so I did pull in behind the forklift or whatever.
The day we were leaving, there was nowhere to park.
Beach police got mad.
It was Sunday, so it was a weekend,
and the beach was always crowded.
They were like, ma'am, stay in park here.
And they stopped and were like,
eyeballing my suburban.
And I was like, hey, man, that's mine.
This is our house.
I can't park.
We're getting ready to pull out and leave.
But I didn't, because they would have told me,
or given me a ticket or something, just because
those little beach police run around on the golf cart.
That's wild here.
Like Lisa, we need to kind of minimize all this.
Oh my gosh.
Pulled over and beating and all.
Yeah, Amy's a bit of a criminal.
I mean, somebody's got to have a little fun.
She's running red lights.
I will never, ever not U-turn and not think about that too.
I did a U-turn yesterday.
There was no light.
I'm like, who's to tell me who's what's right and wrong here?
Like I'm just freewheeling it all over the street now.
You know?
Can't take her anywhere, Dale.
Well, I think it's a good place to stop.
All right.
Thank you for your questions.
Hope you guys watched the show.
We had some fun, interesting topics.
And especially our squirrel.
If y'all want to know what this damn squirrel's doing here,
so do I.
And I don't think you're going to find any answers
watching this show back.
We need a name for our squirrel.
This was a present for Dale and he's not very excited about it.
Amy got me a stripper squirrel.
Finish the sentence there.
So we need a stripper name for our stripper squirrel.
If you would oblige us with some ideas, that would be awesome.
She came in with a big box and said she had a surprise.
I'm surprised.
Oh my gosh.
