About this episode
A low-energy morning at home turns into a lively debate about hosting and dinner logistics—especially when delivery is slow where they live. The conversation swings from grocery runs and cooking to a playful “tacos vs hot dogs” argument, then lands on a bigger disagreement: whether tacos should be soft or hard. Between food talk, they share DC-area taco recommendations, a pickle-juice drink recipe, and a golf recap with tournament drama.

Jeep Commander
Dale and Amy are back for another episode of Bless Your ‘Hardt. While Mother’s Day might not have gone to plan, things still spiral into chaos, pickles, and unexpected life debates. You remember the pickles Dale and Amy cannot get enough of? Well, they brought some to share this time, and let’s just say the producers’ booth absolutely loved them. (But honestly, we are not surprised.)
You know as well as anyone that it isn’t an episode of Bless Your ‘Hardt without a few friendly debates. This week, we went all out playing This or That to make sure we stirred up a lot of opinions, including one question that got surprisingly heated: who would’ve thought Dale and Amy had such strong opinions on taco shells? Then we wrap things up with everyone’s favorite segment, Ask Amy, where YOU get to ask the questions.

The Jeep Commander is a larger SUV made to carry people and gear. It’s meant for everyday driving and road trips, with room for more than just a couple of passengers. If it’s mentioned in a podcast, it’s usually because someone is talking about what it’s like to drive or use.
The Jeep Commander is a mid-size SUV built for family hauling and everyday driving, with seating and space designed for multiple passengers. It’s often discussed because it represents Jeep’s approach to combining utility with a larger, more practical cabin. In a podcast, it may come up in everyday conversation or as a reference point for how certain vehicles behave or feel when used regularly.

The following is a production of Dirty Mo 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-crackers?
I'm working.
Working that mouth.
Hey guys, Dale and I are in the Dirty Mo Media Studio
for another round of Bless Your Heart.
Let's get started.
Let you down on Mother's Day.
He did let me down a little bit on Mother's Day.
Oh no.
And that's in...
We were going to talk about Mother's Day.
Well, let's just talk about it.
No.
Yeah.
Because I don't want to...
You don't want to talk about it now?
I don't want to talk about it now.
We were going to talk about it because I thought it was all right, but...
Listen, it was all right.
It was just all right.
I got to go to the spa.
I did get a massage, so that part was great.
But I get up there first thing in the morning,
and Dale's gotten out breakfast that I had made the day before.
Like, I pre-made breakfast the day before,
and he feeds the girls and then feeds himself and then puts it away
and does not leave it out or even make my breakfast.
Damn.
I know.
I'm like, okay, you're starting off on a weird foot,
but I'm about to leave, so I'm just going to let it go.
And I get how when it's kind of the same thing,
like the energy in the house is like sad.
The girls are sitting on the couch.
They look like they've been running a marathon.
Like, they're just worn out, which is fine.
But Dale didn't get up.
Like, I had to ask him for help to get in the door, and nobody was happy to see me.
Like, I was like just a regular old day with no energy and no like, we love you, mommy.
That's right.
You know, none of that.
There was none of that.
And then like five minutes into the, and once you got home.
Well, I noticed that the girls are watching some really ridiculous show that I,
it's probably fine, but I hate it.
We've been home 15 minutes, maybe.
And the girls just ran over there and turned on the TV,
and I wasn't really paying attention yet,
or I probably would have been like, yeah, let's not watch this.
It wasn't nothing.
It's just.
No, it's just some weird show.
I don't, I think it's fine.
It's just a kid show, but it's just weird particular.
There's an adult that plays with the kid in the show, and I don't like that.
I think it's weird.
I don't like our kids watching shows where there's adults playing.
Being goofy and clowny.
Being goofy and clowny.
Yeah.
I don't know.
That's a weird vibe.
It makes me feel weird.
If somebody was acting like that in my presence,
I would be like, yeah, don't talk to that person.
There's something wrong with that person.
I feel like a lot of kids shows really aren't like kid appropriate.
Yeah.
Even like, I don't know.
It was, it was just strange.
I don't want to get into that too deep.
But we don't have to say specific show names.
Everybody's.
No, I'm not.
I don't even know this.
Everybody's their name, to be honest.
Everybody teach their own, I guess.
But I walked in and I turned it off.
I'm like, y'all have, I know I don't want you watching this.
Let's watch something else.
And then Nicole got super mad and just walked over and punched me.
Five minutes, five minutes.
Right in the hip.
She got punched.
Yeah.
I'm like, you know what, screw this.
I went upstairs and I pouted.
I just literally, I didn't turn the TV on or anything.
I just sat in the bed and I was just like laying with my eyes closed,
like trying to like resent myself.
I was like, I was so relaxed from the spa and I came home and all that was happening.
I'm like, nope, you're not going to steal my joy.
And then the girls came upstairs and they were calling all over me.
Dale came upstairs.
And then I saw you were blue and then I sent them upstairs.
I went downstairs and said, y'all better go up there and cheer up your mother.
The whole thing was just.
It was comical, but not comical.
It was a load of bull.
But it was not, it was not what you would want.
I know my family loves me.
They just have a hard time showing it.
What is that all about?
Is it, do you need like, are you more of an affirmation person?
No, I just want access service.
I want service.
Like I want a little service and I love a present.
Like give me some, I would love a gift.
Just something simple.
Flowers, a gift, like show me that you care.
Go out of your way to show me that you care.
No, none of that.
I thought that the day at the car service and the day at the spa,
and I sent a friend along with her, I organized to a buddy to go along.
Last year she went by herself.
I thought that that was checking the boxes, but I didn't, I mean, you know, I get it.
I get up, make a couple of waffles.
It ain't like, it ain't like you got to make this grand breakfast.
Just like make an effort to show you care and I didn't do that.
And then I was planning on, you know, we went, I was like, she said,
she's like, when I was leaving, I was like, you're going to handle dinner, right?
You're going to handle dinner.
He goes, oh, I'm like, yes.
Well, I, what?
Please.
Yeah.
It's okay.
Yeah, sure.
For you, I'll do dinner, but you hadn't even thought about it.
No, like I was, you know, it's how I operate.
I don't think about it.
I just handle it when it comes and.
No prep.
No prep.
You can't really live life like that, especially like a meal.
That's how I am.
Well, and take some notes Travis.
It's hard to do that.
I'm bad.
I'm just, I'm like Dale.
Well, especially living out where we live, like you can't just door dash
something and it be there that fast.
You know what I mean?
Like you really do have to prep all of our meats in the freezer.
Like you have to think about it all the time.
I know.
And it takes an hour to get to us.
But I'm just, I wasn't, I was thinking the way I had thought this out was that
Amy was going to be gone all day.
And you know, I was like, Hey, don't rush home.
Just you got your friend.
I don't, you know, I didn't know what her plans were.
And I'm like, just open ended.
Whatever your day ends up being is your choice.
And I wasn't thinking about, well, she'll be home for dinner.
So let me make sure dinner's ready or I should prepare a nice dinner
because she'll be home.
I was just like, it's open ended, whatever happens, happens.
And on the way out, she said, you're going to handle dinner.
And I thought that meant the girls.
And I'm like, I mean, I don't know.
I was sure I'm going to feed them lunch and dinner.
I was figured out.
But like I didn't even, it was Sunday.
The spa is not going to stay open for dinner.
We ended up going, we ended up.
So this is how the day operates for me is like,
I didn't know what we were going to do when we got up that day with the,
I didn't know what me and the girls were going to do.
We weren't going to sit around the house.
I didn't want to take them to some silly park down the street
and watch them jump around on it.
That won't last very long.
No.
And so I'm like, I don't know what we're going to do.
Well, I'm like, you know what?
Let's go to Canapas and I'll take them to the statue.
Dad's statue.
Dad's statue ended up.
We go to the statue.
Great.
We read a plaque.
They took some pictures.
We took some pictures and then I'm like, well, let's,
let's look on our phone.
What can we eat around here?
Okay.
Chophouse 101 reservations only.
Okay.
Let's go over there.
See if they can get us in.
We walk over there.
Hey, can you get us in?
Yeah, we can get you in.
And we sat down and ate and that went good.
And then we got up and they're like,
they sold ice cream store, the fudge store.
They're like, can we get some fudge?
Great.
Let's go get some fudge.
And it's just like, that's just how I do it.
And we ended up having a great time.
And then I was, you know, Amy made it.
Amy, Amy's like, man, you know, I want you to make dinner
and I won't, I'm going to be here for that dinner.
So we went to the grocery store.
We got sides.
I tried to get some good stuff, but it was not exactly
how I wanted it to be.
I had some steaks out falling and I broiled and seared some steaks.
He just makes it really way too much work in his head.
Like he makes it harder for himself because it's not that hard
to like, if you were going to cook yourself dinner,
you wouldn't get this overwhelmed by it.
But because I've asked you to, it gets so like,
it wasn't, we, I was like, all right, guys, this will be great.
We'll have, we're going to go.
So we went to the statue, lunch, fudge.
We went home and we got home.
Those girls walked in the door and said, dad, we want to take a nap.
I was like, great.
So they all, they laid around a little bit, 20 minutes.
We're going to get up and we're going to the grocery store
and we did something else.
But we got up and we went to the grocery store and I love going to the grocery store.
I love it.
And so we walked around the grocery store with a cart.
We got some grapes and we looked at this and we looked,
we're looking for sides and what can we buy and is it got,
is it good ingredients and is, you know, sounds awful.
No, it was, I enjoy it.
The way he's describing the whole thing sounds like,
like the cadence of the day and the mood of the day.
It was like, and we got some side and we looked at the ingredients.
I enjoyed it.
I'm having fun.
The girls are having fun.
And we were, you know, we ended up getting some diet,
soft drinks and all that good stuff and just riding around in the cart,
just checking out and getting some things that the house needed.
And some dude wipes or whatever.
Oh my God, Ralph.
They don't need to know that.
No one needs to know that.
Dude wipes is a sponsor in our sport.
What do you, I mean,
the only thing he did buy at the grocery store that was
really sweet was some carrot cake.
I got her, we didn't buy it or steal it.
Why did it have to be your birthday?
You love carrot cake.
He bought it, I think.
It's like carrot cake can be had any day.
Yeah, I know.
I just feel like this is going to be one of those things.
I know she likes it.
It's imprinted now, so I'm just going to get it.
It wasn't an entire cake.
No, it wasn't.
It got me a slice and it was delicious.
I mean, I pulled it out of the fridge.
She goes, it's not my birthday.
I'm like, Amy, it's just a slice of carrot cake.
I know you like carrot cake.
Well, I'm not generally eating cake.
You know what I'm saying?
Dude, but it's your day.
It's Mother's Day.
Like you want it, but you don't want it.
I wanted my birthday.
You want to be, like you want the carrot in the service,
but then you don't want it.
You want it specifically and perfectly.
And like when I give it to you the way I give it to you,
you're like, man, that's not how I would want it.
That's not how I would do it.
I just don't think it's that hard.
We got fudge.
Yeah, we ate some fudge.
We ate cake.
We ate steak.
We ate all the things.
It's just, I felt like it was a little bit,
y'all didn't enjoy it as much as I was hoping.
Like it wasn't, it didn't feel like y'all were doing it
because you wanted to.
It felt like you were doing it because I asked you to,
which that's not fun.
So that's what it felt like.
Yeah.
That wasn't...
The spa was great.
I had a great, relaxing day.
I can't, I know what you mean
about the vibe in the house.
The vibe in the house.
It was like that when I woke up
and it was like that when I came home.
I know and I don't, I can't, look, I,
I'm not, the girls are going to be how they're going to be.
But, you know, I got, I mean, I've been in a mood
because of some shit I got going on.
And none of the, none of that had anything to do
with you or mother's day.
And I'm sorry that it felt that way in the house.
It's fine, but why are we still in the mood?
Can we please, can we please just be happy?
I don't know.
I am feeling like...
You know what, we should make you happy
all the day in pickles we bought this last weekend.
Yeah.
We went to DC to promote High Rock
and meet with Total Wine and got to,
really got to like meet some really awesome people
with Total Wine, which we've been dying to do.
And because we had so much time in DC,
we sent Joey and Grant to the orchard to get some pickles.
And this time we actually remembered to bring
some for you guys to try.
So we have sweet fire pickles,
and then we have the garlic sea salt pickles.
And all the garlic sea salt is what we always go for.
Butlers orchard.
Butlers orchard.
And right near DC.
Yes.
Oh man.
So can you give them to Abigail?
And she can take them back so they can try some.
Get your jaws ready, because they're about to get lit up.
I can't wait.
You might need a strongman back there to open up that jar.
I'll just say that.
A strongman.
Don't bang it on anything that's going to chip.
Tap it on the ground.
Okay.
It's open.
Okay.
It's a moment of truth.
Now I'm going to preface this one.
If you don't like it, don't you dare say I don't like it.
I've never let you have one of these.
No.
No, we've never shared them.
We've talked about them over and over.
Listen to that sound.
It's got a good, that's good.
That's good.
Yes.
Just smash the whole thing at once.
It's so tart.
I love pickles though.
But share with James.
Isn't it like a lot of flavor?
That's good.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It is insane.
Joey, go back.
Need more.
Yes.
We got seven cases.
I got seven cases.
That's how you...
He was going and I was texting with Pallie, our contact there,
and she's like, how many do you want?
I was like, how many can you spare?
Like, what do you have?
And she goes, well, I got this much.
And I was like, give me seven.
James is all about it.
Yep.
Hey, we'll bring more cans.
But yeah, they're freaking amazing.
And it's hard to get people that are listening to the show
to truly understand how good they are.
If you're in the DC area, you have to go check out.
You can put them out of the fridge.
I think they'd be even better.
They're so good.
That cold crust.
Well, wait, I got a comment about that.
He doesn't agree.
I don't agree with that.
Shocker.
No, I know I'm right.
So they're in the DC area, and we don't often go through there.
And so we would kind of have to get lucky with our friend
that was kind of had some family traveling through
or whatever they could pick up a case.
And they'd pick up one case.
And dude, I'd devour them in a couple of weeks.
And they'll hide them.
I'd hide them and hide them.
Even in the fridge, you'd hide them behind other things.
So I couldn't see them.
Yeah.
But now, you know, we just decided, all right,
we're just going to go ourselves.
And we up and went just to DC for this trip to see this or see this place.
And it's a big giant general store.
They got Apple, everything you could think of.
Last year we went, it was Apple season.
So they got just Apple's galore everywhere.
Chilies and spreads and meats.
And they got all the things, right?
And so if you get a chance to go to DC, it is worth it
because there's just so much in the store to check out.
Yeah.
But the pickles are, the pickles are worth a triple.
Right now they're doing strawberries.
So you can go strawberry pick.
But strawberry picking is the dumbest thing.
They're those.
I mean, I don't like taking my kids to strawberry pick.
Those pickles are never going to be any better
than just the way you had them.
Open the jar room temp because, and I'll tell you, they're still great.
But once you refrigerate them, the cold knocks a bunch of the tart,
knocks a bunch of the, the, the garlic and the, and this.
I think it makes it more mild.
Like the, that, that kick that you get initially when you eat it
is, is cut by 30% probably.
They're still great out of the fridge.
But man, room, room temp is fantastic.
Yeah.
This jar might be done by the before it shows over here.
We have another pickle for you to try.
This is the sweet fire sweet fire.
Now these are hot and spicy.
But, but you might, and you might need a fork for this.
Nah, just stick your paws in there.
Well, all right.
Take it.
So there we are now.
These are also great, but in smaller doses.
It's my bar of soap.
Like I can, it's my jar of pickles.
I can eat, I can eat the garlic deal all day long.
Those right there.
Come on Travis, you got this.
You've got this Travis.
This one's on there.
You can do it.
Why was the other ones?
Tap the top with something.
Isn't that a thing?
Like if you, come on.
Travis, Travis.
Here comes Ralph.
No, he's not helping me.
You stay away.
No, no, because then I go.
They're fighting over it now.
You can do it.
I'll show you.
Oh my goodness.
He's banging the jars together.
You look like Indiana Jones.
Why are you doing it?
Go do your show.
Because if you help me, then I have to live with that.
No, you do it.
Take it.
Oh, we got it.
They finally got it.
That was amazing.
He's going to bat to let that happen.
It's on the show.
Too bad it's being videotaped.
Okay.
All right.
Get ready for that.
Sweet fire.
Yeah.
I'm going with the first one.
You like the garlic?
I agree.
The garlic salt.
I agree.
I like the sweet fire, but they're just in smaller doses.
Wait, what'd you say, James?
That's very good.
They're both very good.
I'd rather eat the first one.
Yeah, garlic is our number one.
Once you hit the garlic ones in your mouth too,
like your whole mouth tastes like that.
It's awesome, man.
It's like jerky boys being so good.
You just can't stop talking about it and sharing people.
Yeah, those garlic sea salt pickles are the same.
I mean, it's fun to share with people as they are to enjoy and eat.
Yeah, because you know who it's going to kick their ass.
That's so good.
Well, might as well mention the drink at this point.
We're just getting all the...
Oh, yeah.
We forgot about our drink of the week.
It's real good.
We've been drinking pickle juice.
Haven't even gotten to our juice.
We need a pickle juice drink of the week.
We should have a pickle.
Okay, so that does make a really good dirty martini.
And a lot of people use that.
Hallie at the orchard, as she uses that for pickle back shots.
I could see.
Or like if you're a Bloody Mary fan.
Oh, yes.
Yep.
It's got some spice in there.
Yeah.
Okay, so the drink of the week, but presented by High Rock, is...
Where are we breeding?
Does it have a name?
The PGA Spiked Lemonade.
Oh, this is our PGA Spiked Lemonade.
So you have one ounce of PGA Championship Lemonade Moonshine.
One ounce of High Rock vodka.
Three ounces of lemonade.
And you talk with club soda.
So this is a super light one.
Very good.
Easy to drink.
Yeah, pretty good.
Very easy to drink.
And if you're at the PGA Championship this week.
Like that?
I would drink that and almost confuse it with water.
That does feel a little bit too easy to drink.
Drink it thinking you're hydrating on a hot day.
Just chugging.
We watched Boo Weekly this week.
Did you all watch?
Do you know who Boo Weekly is?
I know he is.
I didn't watch, but I'm, you know...
Well, it is the Champion's PGA Tour.
So it's like the...
The Senior Tour.
Senior Tour.
And it ain't easy to find.
Like, I mean, I'm sure golf fans know exactly where it's at.
But like for somebody going, oh, I'm gonna watch this.
I don't watch this any other week.
But this week I'm gonna watch it.
Because Boo went into the last round leading.
And, you know, so we went digging for it and I found it.
And I put it on and I'm like, damn, all right.
We can watch it.
And it was like...
We watched the last four holes.
We'll watch it.
The last four holes.
Ernie Ailes hit it in the water.
I was like, I mean, no, Ernie Ailes is probably a great guy.
But I was like...
Not that day he wouldn't.
I was like, all right, man.
We got four shot lead going into the last two holes.
It was awesome.
Dude.
And so the story with Boo Weekly is, A,
he's got a freaking awesome name.
Boo Weekly.
And I saw a clip that you might confine on social media,
where he hit a 62, I believe, or a 64.
It was a really, really low round score during the middle of a tournament,
probably about 20, 22 years ago.
And he was one shot off of the course record.
And they interviewed him after the round.
It's like Friday, Thursday.
And they're like, guys are coming off the course.
And they're like, hey, Boo Weekly, you just hit this incredible round.
He's like, yeah.
They're like, did you know it was one shot off the course record?
He's like, no, I didn't know that.
I'm just trying to make par.
And it was literally the majority of golf fans and other people as well,
because it went viral for what viral was in 22 years ago.
It introduced Boo Weekly to a lot of people, myself included.
And everybody's like, that guy's like me.
Or that guy could be my neighbor.
Or he's just a regular Joe.
He's just as honest and down-earth as it comes.
You see him and you're like, I could have a beer with that guy.
You think about these golf guys and they just seem like they're not as approachable or excessive.
Far more serious.
Well, yeah, like Scotty Shuffler, great dude, family man.
But I'm not going to sit there and have a beer with him.
Boo Weekly, yes.
And do you think you could walk up to him if you saw him at a tournament, right?
You would kind of be like, I don't know, man.
All them golf guys are kind of like the pitchers that are pitching the no hitter.
The no hitter, you know, it's kind of like, leave them alone.
Well, Boo's like the friendly.
Everybody I talk to that knows Boo says he's the friendliest person they've ever met in that realm,
in that environment.
Yeah.
And anyhow.
We're just good to watch him have that victory.
Well, we've been paying attention a little bit to him because he's trying to make a bit of a comeback.
He quit golf for a while, had a lot of injuries and stuff.
And he got his personal life in a good place.
And got everything going in the right direction there.
And that's made him healthier and happier.
And he started playing golf again.
And he joined the Champions Tour at about 48 years old or so.
He's been playing there for about four or five years, probably eight or nine tournaments.
He's doing OK.
Went in a couple of 100000 dollars a year making a living.
And, you know, he got his card, his tour card back.
And there's a clip online of that as well, where he's actually on the course finishing up his round.
And they're like, this round qualifies you to get your car back, whatever all that means.
It's everything for a golfer.
Dude, he literally started crying.
Is that what they do, though?
Like they do that during play?
Um, I've never seen it during play, but I could maybe.
He was coming off the last hole, the last green.
And they let he was literally in tears about how hard, you know, how much it's mean to him.
It means to him to have it back.
Maybe like NASCAR taking like we're taking our keys away or you can drive like it's without your card.
You can't really play knowing how much that meant to him.
And I mean, maybe this is like only 10, 12 months ago.
Here he is leading this round and going into the last.
And I was almost scared to turn on the TV to see where he was.
He did say that out loud.
He's like, I'm going to start watching this and then he's going to lose.
And it's going to be all my fault.
I'm like, I'm like, I'm, I'm turning it on.
I don't, I know he's in the middle of his round to final round.
I'm like scared to learn that is he in the lead steal.
And I was like, Amy, it's like turning on the commanders.
When as soon as I start watching, they start playing like shit.
And so it's all my fault, you know, and, um, is that really?
Do you think that way too?
About your teams?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, I've changed shirts.
Yeah.
In middle of the game, I've, I've changed outfits.
I've left a place to go watch somewhere else.
What?
It's not healthy.
I know, but that's what that's what fans do.
We turn it on and he, he's got a one shot lead.
He's on 14th hole and then we watched him win it.
And as soon as he wins, his wife comes running over, hugs him and starts.
Yes, she's crying.
And he's like, you got to stop.
You better stop because he's going to start crying.
She's crying.
She can't, they all know, you know, how this is.
What a story of dudes, 52 years old.
Casey Kane wins world outlaw race at 44, 46, whatever he is, you know, and it's just awesome
to see people that, you know, have dipped out of the top tier, right?
But still are doing what they love to do, right?
Race, golf, whatever it is and have success doing it.
Um, because they don't know that that's going to be a reality when you get out of the real deal
and retire from the full, you know, the couple level or the PGA tour,
you know, you don't know if you're ever going to win a tournament again.
Boo's last win was 2013, 2013.
He probably thought he'd never win another tournament.
Yeah.
Golf and racing are very similar and you're going to lose a whole lot more than you win.
And winning a tournament in golf is impossible.
I mean, there's like 80 dudes trying to do it.
He is very talented.
It was so awesome.
And, um, my favorite thing that happened Sunday.
It was his favorite thing that happened Sunday on Mother's Day.
Thanks for lifting us up, boo.
Thanks for lifting us up and bringing us together.
In the sports world.
Sorry, I forgot to put that in the couch.
Yes, I'm still sitting here, Ralph.
I'm still here.
I'm sorry.

We went to DC and so.
Yes, that's true.
They're on the shelves.
So find your store locator, near you on their locator and check it out.
So you're just talking about Buickley being approachable and that
people might be able to walk up to him and say hello and he would be very nice.
So that kind of reminds me of your story about the Blue Devils Coach, the Morrisville High
School Coach.
Well, they sent you something.
Are you serious?
Yes, they saw your story.
Did you know this?
Oh my God.
What in the hell did you know this?
So they've sent you a little love basket.
Oh, love basket.
I love it.
That's what I'm going to call it anyway.
All right.
You can go through it on your own.
When did you hear about this?
Well, Travis told me when I got here.
They sent it to Junior Motorsports.
Blue Devils.
Morrisville Blue Devils football.
Morrisville football.
We are a good football team.
It's actually a good looking hat.
I played soccer on the varsity team.
I got a letter jacket.
It fits me.
We made it to state.
It fits me now.
Yeah, we made it to state and lost.
But hey, there's a really good player on that team.
If I didn't know this was coming, I'd have worn it today.
Yeah, I know.
Worn the letter jacket.
Yes.
It's smaller than my letter jacket.
I won't aim you to wear it and she won't.
It's dirty.
It needs to be cleaned.
It's f***ing from 1990.
It's 1955.
Hopefully you can come join us for a football game as well.
He'll be on the sidelines.
The only thing you can call a play.
No, no, no.
No, no, no.
I want to say thank you to the Morrisville folks.
Whoever put that together.
That was so nice.
And I had a million amazing experiences as a student at Morrisville Senior High.
And since then, me and you've went to a game.
No, I've never been to a game.
You have gifted me merch for Christmas.
Me and you went and sat down the game right behind carrying them.
No.
We were.
Who was with me?
A high school football game?
Yes, and like 23 years ago.
Honey, I've never been there.
Maybe it was me and Sean.
I could tell you Amy and Sean confused.
I know.
I am so forgettable.
Man, I'm doing something wrong.
I'm sitting here trying to say something nice.
I am doing something very wrong to make an impression on this man.
I think I've just hit a lot of concrete and can't remember what I,
you know, who was at the game with me three years ago.
That's really what's happened.
Oh my gosh.
But listen, you can't keep blaming it on that.
Well, how the fuck else do I not remember who was at the game with me?
Because it wasn't important.
You got to go to the game.
I went to the game.
You remember what's important to you.
That's a thing for everyone, you know?
It was homecoming.
It was packed.
Yeah, I was in there for that.
Oh, I think it was sunny.
Thank you to Morseville football.
That means a world to me.
Yes, you've lifted him up.
Lifted his spirits.
I don't feel like you're blue anymore.
Well, I love, you know, North Carolina, Morseville.
I'm all nostalgic.
Nostalgia and very loyal to certain things like that.
And I'm glad that they sent the bag.
Yeah.
I pull for them.
I know you do.
Yeah.
You know what I don't pull for?
Phones in the bathroom.
I know that you talk about taking your phone or your iPad in the bathroom
because you want to sit forever.
But I was in a public restroom recently.
Not my iPad.
You don't take your iPad in it?
No.
I mean, when we're at home.
We have a little table in the bathroom.
Yeah, at home.
Home and public are two different things.
No, no, no.
I'm saying you do that at home.
I'll take my iPad in there and set it up.
Yeah, that's fine.
I don't watch old races and shit.
It's campin' and shit.
Listen, that's one thing.
I was in a public restroom recently when we were out of town
going to the bathroom.
And there was a lady in there using the restroom.
There were noises.
But she was on her phone.
You can't just say there were noises.
There were noises.
You had to explain what type of noises.
I think that we can just assume the noises.
The peeing, pooping noises.
Well, there's giggling noises.
It's a bathroom.
There's all kinds of noises.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah, but there's noodles too.
Was there washing hand noises?
Was there toilet paper noises?
You just don't know what kind of noise
was going to happen in a bathroom.
And she had a phone call going
that you could hear the person speaking.
So I don't know if it was at your piece or if she had her phone.
But the person on the other end of this phone call
likely was hearing all of the bathroom noises
happening around her.
While she was in the bathroom.
Or from her.
You know, she was sitting in the stall next to me.
And I just found that to be so pauling.
Like, I know I'm approved with bathroom and then things,
but that took it to a whole other level for me.
Have you ever had that experience?
Or do you have?
Have you ever done that?
Answered the phone while I was using the bathroom.
Whilst you were making noises in the bathroom?
It's funny.
I mean, you, you, it's funny you say that because.
Like nonchalantly, just having a conversation.
Listen, I called a friend of mine the other day.
And he answered the phone while he was in the bathroom.
And I thought, all right.
How did you know he was in the bathroom?
He said it.
I said, hey, pal, what's going on?
He's like, I'm in the bathroom using the toilet.
I was like, well, all righty.
Here we are.
See what I mean?
There's more of you.
And I'm like, well, I'm in the, I'm in the car with, I love.
With my family.
We're in the drop off line.
Just in case you need a phone.
You, your end.
Oh my gosh.
But, yeah.
So that's the thing people are doing.
I guess I'll see your person talking on the phone and raise you.
Do you have a friend that answers the phone while they're taking a dump?
It's like, or whatever they're doing, right?
Yeah.
I guess they're the same freed.
I hate when people are just on speakerphone or FaceTime in public.
I agree.
So annoying.
I am not going to answer the phone while I'm in the bathroom.
No, I'm not either.
Don't call me.
I probably don't have my phone in the bathroom either though.
Well, yeah.
Like I'm, I'm sure I would be the person if I got that thing out anyway
in a public restroom.
I'd probably drop it in the toilet.
Like I always have a disaster with my phone.
That is a danger when you have the.
I did that once in college.
Dropped it in a urinal.
Oh, gross.
Did you leave it in there?
Did you just leave it and walk away and just tell it a bit of a do?
Luckily it was after, after I flushed.
So I did like.
You flushed it thinking that was going to be good enough.
No, it's after I flushed the urinal.
I dropped it in there.
And so it got washed out.
No, you ain't talking.
You ain't.
No, you ain't talking your way out of this.
No, it's disgusting.
It's gross.
Oh, no, I didn't say it.
So didn't you probably wiped it off and then you put this up to your,
your 15 minutes later?
I went out, I went out to bring a person.
How's it going?
I knew one.
Never know what happened today.
Yes, I'm coming every Sunday.
Yeah.
I had to call my dad because it's the only phone number that I knew.
Oh, because it wasn't working.
And so I asked a person outside like,
Hey, can I borrow your phone?
My phone's broken.
Wait, you dropped it in there and it ruined it?
Yeah.
Urinals full of pee or water?
What?
We don't need to know.
Unless your urinals are dry.
How long ago was this?
College.
Oh yeah, it's forever.
See, the phones weren't resilient.
You can drop them in the swimming pool now.
They don't, they don't.
Yeah.
Good point.
And so I only knew one number of those.
I had to call my dad at like,
I don't know, 1130, whatever.
Like, hey, can you call one of my friends and tell them like,
I'll meet him here because.
Oh really?
Your dad was coordinating the rest of your journey free?
So I was like, call Drew.
Tell him I'm going back to his apartment.
Oh my gosh.
What a good dad.
I tell you, man, I'm still not.
I don't know that you can ever get used to walking down the street.
So I think we were, we were in Kanapolis Sunday,
walking just down the street and a guy comes walking by talking.
And it just takes you a second to realize they're on the phone.
That is so that little second right there.
When we were kids and there was a guy walking down the street,
talking to himself, your, your mom would pull you closer,
like, hey man, there's something wrong with that guy.
That's what you do.
That's what the feeling is.
Like when I've, the very first split second is that thought.
Like, hmm, what the hell's going on?
Okay girls.
Get close.
Where you at, Isla?
I know.
So that's embedded in there.
It's like a, it's like quick.
And then you're like, oh, I'm on the phone.
But uh.
Same thing like in an airport.
There's so many people on an airport.
Yeah, I guess.
It's startling.
Airport's a little understanding, but like you're at the Gersthorn.
There's people with headphones in them.
Like, can you not walk around the Gersthorn without headphones in?
So I've seen that.
I said that to him recently.
Yes.
Agreed.
The headphone thing.
I don't get that either.
There are people that drive their cars with headphones on,
which has to be illegal.
Like you can't hear the things you need to be able to hear,
like sirens and whatever just things you're supposed to react to.
Why are people doing that?
I think it is dangerous to ride in your car with,
if you're driving and operating a vehicle to wear headphones
or anything that's going to be noise canceling or whatever.
But, um, so yeah, I think I think we all agree there that that's not exactly how you ought to do it.
It's like, um, when you're riding a road bike,
you don't, you don't wear your plugs and stuff because you need to hear cars.
You need to hear things happening around you coming up behind you and all that.
But walking around, I think when Amy said that, and I've seen it too,
people will be around, you know, pushing their grocery carts into Gersthorn with headphones on.
You know, you got to remember like a lot of people are, you know, podcasting.
They're finding ways to get their favorite bless your heart episode in, you know, they're like,
Stop it. You can listen to that some other time.
You don't have to listen to Bless Your Heart at Gersthorn Store.
I need to incorporate, I need, I can't get my favorite bless your heart episode this week.
You know what? I can listen to it at the Gersthorn Store.
Why are you trying to make this make sense for people doing this?
Just listen on the car ride.
Well, I'm just saying, what's the point?
They're not there to talk to people.
They're not there to do nothing but get their groceries.
So why can't they listen to whatever they want?
It's just so weird and impersonal.
Like, I don't agree.
It feels antisocial.
It's very antisocial.
I don't agree. I think they're already, I mean, when you're walking around a grocery store,
everybody's in zombie land anyways.
No, that's not true.
Like, if somebody walked past me in the grocery store and we made eye contact,
we're like, Hey, how are you?
Yeah, I don't know.
Same thing is like that car wave situation that you've been explaining.
I know, but the person was general kindness.
The person, I'm only, I'm not going to do a hey, how are you?
I'm going to nod and smile and which is interesting because I do all of the waving
and everything else driving up and down the street.
Like, I'm so personal personable, but in that,
when you're in your car bubble and then when you're actually out in the wild,
you don't want to speak to people.
I do speak to people, but in the grocery store, you know,
they're on a mission.
They're there to do their shopping.
And a lot of times people in the grocery stores don't have like present a pleasant
demeanor.
They don't, they're like,
because they're there to do a job, the grocery store, but not everybody does.
A lot of people don't even like going in them.
And so a lot of people that are in there aren't like loving the experience or excited about,
you know, getting all this shit that they got to get on there.
Because they're there like two or three times a week more than you.
Right. And so, yeah, exactly.
And so I'm not going to be like, Oh, hey, I'll fall, you know, bubbly and happy
when everybody else ain't feeling that way.
But I think if I was going in the grocery store two or three times a week, if I was,
you know, a dad or a mom, and that was my role, and I'm doing that all the time,
put on some headphones, listen to podcasts, music, whatever.
I don't think it's a big deal.
You can still smile, wave.
I think it's weird.
I stand by what that opinion.
I think it's just weird to be in public and close yourself off like that.
I don't know.
Headphones are for by yourself.
Yeah.
Taking a walk outside.
Like that's headphone time.
Gotcha.
I'm going to play a little game of this or that.
This or that.
And keep it real simple.
You want me to say that Christopher Walken video?
It's not his song.
Whose song is it?
You could go with this.
You could go with that.
You could be with this.
You could be with that.
Do you remember that video?
Yes, yes, yes.
Where he's dancing.
Christopher Walken's dancing around.
Huh?
Fatboy Slum.
Fatboy Slum?
Yeah, Fatboy Slum.
Christopher Walken is a treasure.
So first question is would you rather be each other's gym partners or workout solo?
Solo.
Solo.
I just feel like you're better off to be separate.
Dale grunts too much.
Oh my god.
I'm just kidding.
When's the last time you worked out Dale on the gym?
When's the last time I worked out?
I don't know.
About four months ago.
Three months ago.
I get in these little spurts where I'm like
gonna do it maybe two weeks, maybe four weeks, whatever.
He has these little programs.
He'll pull up on his phone with the aptiles on what to do and like it prompts him to do all the
things and he'll do that.
And once he gets to the goal, he's like okay, done.
I just, I don't have a routine.
It's hard to stay.
He's never been one to work out.
It's hard to stay at it.
I do enjoy it though.
That's why I had to do one where like I go to orange theory because I need someone to like
tell me what to do and like kind of push me.
Orange theory is hard.
Yeah, I enjoy it though.
Yeah.
I like riding my bike.
I have an indoor bike and my road bikes for outside.
I like riding bike either way.
The road biking thing is such a weird, has such a weird stigma, but it is so fun.
We, Dale and I have done that together.
So that is one thing we do together.
And I like weights.
And you don't really, but you don't really talk to each other, but it's fun to do,
to do the road bikes.
I have an e-bike because I can't keep up.
I love it being outdoors, exploring, riding around on the lake.
You see areas you don't see just riding around town.
Yeah, I don't think that's the same as like going to the gym.
Really going to the gym.
Like that.
Yeah, I don't, I'd rather do it.
I despise running.
Yeah.
I feel like everybody around you just finds is running.
Nobody's running.
Yeah.
Next question is, would you rather be the couple that hosts the party or disappears
early at the party?
Damn, can I be both hosts the party host and disappear early hosting.
So you want to disappear early?
I hate hosting.
Why do you hate hosting?
Because it's a, there's pressure.
You got to get the place clean.
You got, nope.
There's pressure that it's fun for everybody.
That you're, you got to make sure everybody's having a good time.
Make sure the music's right.
All the, you know, you don't love it either.
Like when we,
I do love it.
I don't, so here's the thing.
We have a different version of what's important when we're hosting.
I want to make sure that everybody's got enough food,
that there's water, there's things.
And Dale just wants everybody to come over.
And he's worried about music and the entertainment part of it.
The vibe.
Yeah.
And so if I start getting out catering and what he's like,
Oh my gosh, this is way too much.
I'm like, not really.
You have 30 people coming over here.
What if they need something to eat?
So we've always just disagreed about that part of it.
But he's, everybody always used to come over.
We've always hosted.
I don't mind.
We did disagree.
We don't anymore.
I'm fine with the, like feeding everybody.
I used to always think, so I was like, man, we're all,
everybody's coming over to drink.
Yeah.
We're not coming over here to eat a full spread.
Just snack and drink.
I'm like, we are here to drink.
And you know what?
The less eating, the better.
Yeah.
I mean, I understand that.
And then Amy comes into my life and she's like,
Hey, when everybody comes over there, I'm going to have tacos.
I'm like, no, what the f**k taco?
I'm going to have some hot dogs.
Yeah.
So we got a hot dog machine too from the old hauler.
And so like had the roller.
I would just keep hot dogs down there in the fridge
and have buns in the freezer and I could get them out
because inevitably around 10, 30 or 11, everyone was starving.
And people were still wanting to hang out.
Like a hot dog is not going to throw your whole night,
but you need to have a little food in there.
That thing was so good.
I'll tell you, we used to, she's, yeah, all that's true.
I miss it, man.
We used to sit down there and we used to have friends.
It was some of the best nights down there,
downstairs in the basement were when one or two people would,
like when Sean would come over and we just listened to music
and laugh and he'd watch him dance.
And Sean's always Sean was Sean's dancer.
Like when he loves to dance by himself, he doesn't need a partner.
He just forget the whole thing wiggling.
But, um, and we would just laugh.
Those are some fun, fun nights.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I do love an Irish goodbye though.
Yeah.
So Dale used to Irish goodbye at his own party.
Just go for the best.
That was his move.
Yeah.
But I mean at 234 and clock.
Yeah.
Like not, not midnight.
No, not midnight.
But there were still people around.
Yeah.
But I mean, damn, it's time.
No one's arguing with you on that.
I just think it's funny.
Like he had Irish goodbye at his own house.
Yeah.
Just disappear.
All right.
Next question.
Would you rather try something new or go back to your right of spot that you know you love?
Spot that I love.
Probably need to try.
Definitely.
I want new.
I want new.
Yeah.
I've been seeing all these cute little dive bars too in South Carolina and like the
little pockets around where our beach house is.
Different little.
Different little spaces.
Yeah.
We need to like explore.
Yeah.
I'm down with that.
New old spots.
Yeah.
I'm down with that.
I, I, I agree that that's fun.
Yeah.
That is fun.
It's hard.
It's, it's hard though, man.
You're like, oh, it's just, it's just easy to go to the spot.
It's just down the street.
You even know it's going to be a short thing.
It's over liable.
You know a good drink or a good meal.
And you're just like, yeah, it makes sense.
Next question.
Game night or movie night?
Movie.
You're going to say game, aren't you?
Like a board game though.
I think I'm going to go game night because our girls are getting, you know, Isla,
they're getting old enough to like.
They like to play games.
They do.
Yeah.
But like we weren't, we've all, it was all these candy land and shit.
And so.
Well, I've been playing yachts with them.
Well, I see.
Right.
Isla's getting old enough to where you could kind of get her to play some, you know,
some middle of the road, simpler adult, but, you know, games like Monopoly and so forth.
Maybe not Monopoly, but she's getting close.
And if you just kind of dumb it down a little bit where it's not real complicated,
I would try, I think, you know, we need to try to encourage or explore doing some of the game
game nights with the kids, not, you know, go fish and I feel like sequence could be a game that
because there is some strategy, but it's also as simple as whatever card you have,
you can lay a chip on that spot and you lay the card down.
So.
Okay.
I've never heard of that one.
Yeah.
So like.
I like.
Sequence.
I mean, it's something a little simpler.
I like life.
Oh, I love life.
Remember the.
Yeah.
So like life and Monopoly, those were like not my favorite games.
I like them.
I don't like those strategy games.
I do.
I like life and Monopoly.
Life is kind of, you know, just luck of the roll.
It's not really like Monopoly was more, I mean, you're rolling dice, but
you know, you kind of had to strategize on what houses you were going to buy and where
you were going to put trade and do all the things.
But life might be a game there.
They could play because you kind of, it's kind of like candy land, like an adult candy
land life is to me.
Yeah.
Because you kind of, you're just going around this path just like candy land and you get
married and you have your kids, marry, put your little kids in the car.
I don't think I've ever.
Oh yeah.
Are you kidding?
Are you going to college or do you get a job?
Yes.
That was always the first decision to the first choice and it's like job or college.
And then it's split the road splits and then you get married.
You put your little girl or your boy, you get kids in the car.
Is this meant to scare children?
No, it's life.
It's life.
It's like, you have to buy insurance.
Yeah.
Oh my gosh.
It's, but it's, it sounds depressing.
No, no.
Yeah.
Okay.
Sounds like we need to play a lot of jobs.
He's, he's, no, he's on your team.
Yeah.
Remember Clue?
Yes.
Yes, yes, yes.
We played Clue with kids.
Who done it?
You know.
Yeah.
I played, I played Clue with kids.
Butler and the pantry with the hammer or crowbar, whatever.
I feel like that one would be more Nicole's vibe.
She likes that kind of thing.
Like spooky.
You never know.
Trying to, yeah.
I would love to do those, play those.
Sounds like that's what we're doing.
I always played Monopoly, but I had the NFL edition, so they were all teams.
Oh, that's more fun.
Damn.
That sounds good.
So you like, at the time, at the time it was the Broncos and the Packers were the,
the two best ones.
The two best ones.
Yeah.
We had a big Monopoly boy.
Yes.
We have a very professional.
It's wooden.
Oh, we have like a, um, yeah.
Nice.
Comes in a big, it's a, it's got drawers inside for the money and everything.
Damn.
Like it is, it is the pro board.
Like for the, the pref, it's like the board, the professionals play in the, in the Monopoly league.
Is there a thing?
No, there's like a big like, yeah.
In the national Monopoly league.
There's like Monopoly tournaments.
The national.
I think this one's actually the, the champions edition.
I'm just kidding.
No, there's no such thing.
There is like Monopoly tournaments though.
I'm just kidding.
He picked it up at the geek symposium at the world.
You're a geek.
He's playing Monopoly.
Um, oh my gosh.
Speaking of food, uh, soft or hard shell tacos?
Soft.
Hard.
F***.
I'm with Dale on this one.
I don't do it.
He likes soft corn and I like, I like soft flour.
Sorry, soft porn.
Porn.
Wow.
Did you not hear her?
James.
She said soft porn.
Damn.
We lost James before Dale even responded.
Did you think she said it?
No.
James nodding.
I've got too much Botox in my lip and I can't even say the words.
He likes soft porn.
Corn.
Golly.
I like soft corn.
Soft corn.
Tortillas.
Oh, okay.
Tacos.
We're talking about tacos, guys.
Who eats hard corn?
God dang.
I'm out.
I mean.
I'm out of here.
Going home.
Like, we can't even talk about tacos.
The girls like crunchy tacos.
It's the only way I get them to eat tacos.
I can't, I do not know what in the hell people are thinking that like hard tacos.
It just falls apart.
Dude, as soon as you bite into it, it is a f***ing destroyer.
It is not a taco anymore.
You think that people that like hard tacos are just like crazy people?
Yes.
Really?
Yes.
Me and my kids are crazy.
I just think you should just get nachos.
Well, I love nachos too.
Like, don't, don't hold out on me.
I love a nacho.
There are more.
Hey, that's basically what a hard taco becomes after the first bite.
Yeah, I'm sure.
Late in nachos.
Yeah.
That's how I got Nicole to even eat nachos.
It's given her crunchy tacos.
It fell apart and I looked at her and said the exact same thing.
She's like, oh, you know, you got nachos.
Holy, you like nachos too?
Yeah.
She told her and she's like, oh, okay.
It's a massive disappointment when you open up the bag and they put the hard,
you put your taco in a hard shell and knocked us off.
Oh, yeah.
And you're like, s***.
Well, this thing going to be as good as I thought.
God, please.
All right, let's get off this topic.
Last one.
Would you rather binge watch your favorite show or watch one episode a week?
Oh, binge watch.
Yeah, binge watch.
That takes a lot of patience.
I'd rather eat the whole bucket of ice cream instead of one bite a day.
See, I like the, just I know, like Wednesdays at eight, Tuesdays at seven or whatever.
Were you a TGIF kind of guy?
Yeah, I remember the show 24.
Man, you ain't no fan of 24, are you?
Love 24.
God, like.
What's 24 about?
It's like a serious drama.
Key for Sutherland.
He like saved the world.
It's like a serious drama, like a Hill Street Blues.
I feel like that's when we were having parties in the basement.
Those, that's like the stint of our.
We were, we were raising hail.
We were raising hail when you were watching TV.
Well, yeah, I was 16.
Sorry, it wasn't raising hell.
24.
You old folks.
Watching Key for Sutherland.
So sad.
Well, that's it.
Hey, is that the game over now?
Well, that was the last question.
I know how it feels.
No, you guys are the old ones now.
I'm going to go raise hell and you guys are going to be in bed by.
Oh yeah.
You didn't write.
I'll be in bed watching Key for, you go have all the fun.
Amy's going to go binge 24.
Hi guys, Dale and I are in the Dirty Mo Media Studio for another round of Ask Amy.
What you got for us, Travis?
First question is what do you think about people that have social media accounts for their pets?
Ooh, I like it.
I don't mind it.
I have, I have followed a few.
You think it's weird?
Yes, it's weird.
I don't think it's that weird.
It's fun.
Everybody likes to look at pets and fun.
Like there was like a cat video thing for a while.
Everybody watched cat videos.
Now, like if you have a friend that's got a cute little doggy, you can watch the dog grow up.
There's two types.
It's okay if you're just sharing.
Like I think it's fine if you're sharing what the dog's doing.
So let's say it's a dog or a farm animal, whatever, right?
Or, you know, there's all kinds of pets that people have.
And maybe people, there are people who can rescue crazy, like wild animals, right?
And raise them up.
That's fun.
I like that.
I want to, you know, if you're, if you're just, here's your dog's social media account
and you're just posting photos of the dog.
Right.
Great.
But when you start posting as if you are the dog.
And I don't like that.
No good.
Yeah.
So I think that's super weird.
I think it's, honestly, I think it's weird when people do that in general, like.
For anything.
With anything.
Yes.
Like if you're posting as if you're the animal or you're like a kid or like if there's a couple
and like it's being posted, posted being made where it looks like you're posting for the other
person, I don't like it.
I feel like that's, it's obvious or first of all, so you're not fooling anybody.
It's strange.
And then I'm disannoyed.
Yeah.
Please be feeling a little weird.
I don't like joint accounts.
I don't either.
Don't like that either.
I don't understand it.
I don't run across that often.
I think it's less prevalent.
Like it used to be.
I don't know how I feel about that.
I think it used to be more popular just because like maybe he wasn't even on social media
and they just would share things together.
I don't know.
Yes.
Not really.
I think younger people do.
Yeah.
This next one comes from the chat.
Bryce wants to know, I need to buy Groomsman gifts, any ideas?
For a Groomsman gift?
He said, I think maybe a duffel bag.
What?
You need to buy Groomsman's gifts?
Yeah, that's what.
You got gifts for your Groomsman, I'm pretty sure.
Yeah.
So Groomsman, like power tools, I know you're going to laugh.
So like a freaking badass drill with a bunch of attachments or a really.
An engraved flask.
The flasks thing.
I don't get that.
Davis gave us a flask a year ago.
I'm like, I've never used a freaking flask in my life.
I get one of these like once every five years and then putting it in the game cabinet
with the other 10 I have and I'm never going to use.
I'm never going to.
I'm like, who's the flask guy?
You are.
I've got two as gifts and they're cool when you get them, but you never use them.
If you don't like put that in your back pocket next to your big phone.
If I invite you to a party and you come in and you pull a flask out and go,
hey, what's going on?
Y'all, I'm gonna be like, you're weird.
You're weird.
You're the weird one.
Like it's not 19 20.
Okay, we're going to put the flask up there with your harmonica and then,
you know, find you something more prevalent, like a power drill.
Yeah.
Oh my gosh.
Give me a power tool with a lot of attachments because every day a guy needs a damn screwdriver
and a power drill or like you had me put something together today in the garage and it's like,
man, when you get a new toy, it's a toy.
And it makes everything so much easier.
It just makes everything easier.
A Yeti cooler, like or another cooler.
Yeah.
Cool.
There's so many cool ones now.
Speakers.
I think the duffel bag, especially like if your groomsmen are like going to be traveling to
your wedding, like you get it to them before.
And everybody shows up with the same cute duffel.
I don't know, man.
The same matching bag.
Duffel bag.
Does the duffel have their name on it?
Like that initials on it.
Listen, that falls short of the importance of the moment.
Getting married is one of the best decisions you'll ever make in your life.
And you're only going to do this once.
So it's not big enough.
Okay.
Get the power tool, put it in the duffel bag, put the flask on the end and maybe put like
a thank you note, like a letter, like a handwritten note.
I know girls like that kind of stuff.
I don't know about guys, but like something personal inside.
Give it all to them.
Give them everything.
If you know a really, really damn good book.
Like, so that could be a couple of things.
You could do a power tool with attachments, a bad ass book.
A book?
Like the Bible?
No, what the?
Just listen, a book works when it's paired with multiple things.
You can have a bag full of shit.
That's awesome to give.
Look, you do.
How about some beef jerky?
Put some beef jerky in there.
Your buddies want a lot of cool shit.
Weekender with all the weekend things.
Yeah, throw a bag of jerky in there.
Maybe some vodka.
If you give me a book for being in your wedding.
Did I just tell you that I'm giving you a duffel bag
with a power tool book, jerky, multiple things.
Come on.
What else can we put in the bag?
Just give them when Dale Jr.'s ride is what you.
Give them a Tahoe.
Give them the keys to a brand new Tahoe.
Give them all the things that go in the Tahoe.
You know what a guy is like?
You know what a guy is like?
Alcohol.
But a good electric razor.
Yes, sir.
Is that a weird thing to give another man?
Yeah.
I don't think so because it's hard to find a good one.
Dude, I buy electric razor and three out of four times
it's fucking shit.
Bought one in.
Well, a lot of people don't use them.
Not every guy does.
Some guys still use, you know.
I never use a straight blade.
Just always electric.
I tear mine.
I get it all tore up when I try to use a regular razor.
Me too.
I like electric.
Yeah.
Or, you know, yeah, you could do trimmer, you know?
So if they got facial hair.
Give them two so they have one to share
with their significant other.
I don't know.
I'm just trying to think of things that I use daily
that I'm very, you know, that I like.
That I like and want someone else to have
because it's probably going to something they like.
Eric said he just bought them their suits for the wedding.
Oh, that's nice too.
That's a really nice.
Especially if you buy it because then they own it.
And that's a great gift.
If I was the one of the Greensman and you just bought
the damn suit I wore to the wedding, I'd be like.
Really?
I don't know.
A lot of people appreciate that.
Don't listen to him.
I don't know.
I would be.
I would be.
Where are you going to wear this?
Where am I going to wear this?
A suit?
But listen, if you have to wear the specific suit,
and especially if you're never going to wear it again,
wouldn't you appreciate not having to pay for it?
Oh, don't you?
You have to rent it.
Yes, most people.
Which is still going to be a couple hundred bucks.
I mean, I was renting or we're renting it?
You can rent.
Well, you sometimes rent.
You mostly rent, right?
Yeah.
Typically they rent.
Yeah.
I mean, but still it's expensive.
I want something practical I can use every day.
God dang.
I feel like I need to get you a power tool now.
Do you need a new drill?
No.
I feel like you do.
One person said some cigars.
Cigars are big.
I don't smoke cigars.
I don't smoke cigars.
I don't smoke cigars.
I'd be like, f**k them.
Who am I going to give these to?
I got to re-gift that.
Why are all of the traditional gifts from the 20s?
Like cigars, flasks.
Oh, you see hair.
You know what I mean?
Yes.
We need some new traditions.
We need to get them all those little popcorn hats,
you know, the little flat white hats that look, you know.
You know what I mean?
Do the foot thing again?
Yeah.
You don't talk about that.
Oh my gosh.
Do we have another question?
Next question is, what's your go-to app to order for the table?
Circus Gap.
The go-to app for the table?
Yeah, to order for the table.
It turns out where we are.
But Chipsons also obviously is like number one.
Guac.
Guac.
Like the dippies.
I don't know.
Where are we?
What restaurant are we at?
Fried Pickles.
To share?
Fried Pickles.
Always bread.
Have you tried fried peas?
No, we haven't.
We wouldn't dare put fried anything on those.
If they have shrimp cocktail, that's an absolute.
But you don't dare try to share that with them.
He will eat your finger.
He orders it just for himself.
Yeah, I do not prefer to share apps.
No, he doesn't.
I don't.
It has to be previously discussed before he even gets it.
Hey, I want to buy to that.
Can I have it?
Not, don't wait until it comes to the table first.
I do.
I do share.
Like we, you know, I know some apps come out and I'm like, yep, I'm not,
I'm not eating all of it and someone else is going to eat some of it.
And it's just the way it is.
But it's a matter of cleanliness.
Like he doesn't want to, he'll get the whatever and put it on his little plate.
So he's always been like that.
Shrimp cocktail, like I don't want to share that.
I don't want you reaching over and I don't want to, to share shrimp,
peeled shrimp with anybody.
Weird.
Is it because the shrimp are naked?
It might be, it might be because of that.
But, and, um, add a mommy.
Oh yeah.
That's another good one.
If you, if we go to eat, if we, if we go in the store and sit down and eat sushi
and I order edamame, I have ordered that for me, not to share.
Now does the table know?
Yes.
We already, we all, we order our own.
I'm not going to say it out loud.
Like don't touch that.
You just like order apps in it.
No, he doesn't preface that.
Okay.
No, no, no, no.
You just have to know that when you go in with Dale,
it comes, I bring it into my space and that's my signal.
And he hovers over it.
Keep your hands off.
Somebody wants to know, is a buffalo shrimp an appetizer?
Is that your dish?
That's a dish.
That's a dish.
So the buffalo shrimp too, especially in Key West at the raw bar,
it comes in its own little basket and we all order our own.
Yeah.
Mostly because they're so good.
We don't want to just have one.
We want to have the whole basket.
But what's your take on peeling each shrimp?
Because I think it's, I don't want to work for my food.
Yeah, it's a lot of work.
I think they're good, but the same.
I don't really want to do all of that mess,
especially if I'm out to eat.
Hard to get rid of the smell in your fingers.
You get it all over you.
Your fingers are just.
Yeah, old bay under your fingernails.
It's a mess.
They're good though.
They are tasty.
It is a lot of work.
I mean, when they, if they have already, when they got buffalo shrimp,
why bother, right?
Exactly.
Next question, Amy, what's one interior design that was popular that you were like,
I don't like?
What's one interior, what?
Design.
Like a style?
Yeah.
What was something that was like popular that you were like, nope.
I'm kind of over the farmhouse thing, to be honest.
Like everybody just has the exact same house.
All the white.
Yeah.
All the white, warden, baton, white farmhouse.
I feel like I'm really happy about, everybody calls it dopamine design,
like dopamine dressing, dopamine design.
Like just buy what you like and try to figure out how to be created together
so that it's just more fun and vibrant.
I feel like that's really fun in general.
But I don't know.
I just get, I've gotten bored with all of the tan and beige and neutrals.
What about ship lap?
Yeah.
So that's kind of in that, that farmhouse thing.
Like it's a ship lap.
Like Joanna Gaines, when she started that, it was, it was wonderful.
And it, and it does, it does look streamlined and clean and nice,
but they just got bored with everybody's houses looking exactly the same.
So that's it.
What's your take on the Barnominium, Barnominians?
I think Barnominiums are cool.
I think they have their place.
I feel like they're smart and especially if it's, you know,
it's efficient is what it is.
And, and so if you have toys you want to put in the back and you need,
so there's a Barnominium at the Ohio property.
That's basically what you have.
And it works for like the hunting property,
but I've seen some really cool ones here.
Yeah.
Next question here is, what's your stance on joint bachelor, bachelorette trips?
No.
If you have to do that, you shouldn't be getting married.
I think people that do that, it seems like it's a red flag.
You know, it's like a trust issue.
It's a trust issue usually.
I mean, if you're older, if it's like second marriage or whatever,
and, or the destination wedding is happening and you want to do it,
like, I don't know, in the same area, that makes sense.
And that's not a problem.
But if you have to do it, because your bride says,
you're not going to the strip club without me, right?
Then you probably should just not.
Dale, does it have to happen?
I mean, I don't, I think it's silly.
Like you should go and do your own thing.
Enjoy your time with your girlfriends.
Like I felt like, I feel like that it is the,
you know, the, your friends, the groomsmen, the bachelorettes,
it's their job to like take you somewhere and, and show you a good time.
And y'all have fun.
And remember, reflect and share stories and, and, and tell each other
how much you care about each other and all that stuff.
And don't, you're not doing that separate.
Yeah.
Right.
That's there.
It's the groomsmen.
If, if y'all end up at the same place,
the groomsmen and the girls failed.
Yeah.
I feel the same.
Right.
I feel like it just changes the whole vibe.
You can't let the grooms and the bride have any input that like getting,
being taken to somewhere you would have never thought to go.
And they should handle the accommodations and they should, they should, you know,
it should be the, that should be their gift to you, right?
To celebrate you.
Oh, so you're saying the groom should, whatever locations up to his groomsmen.
Yeah.
I feel like that used to be the way it went.
And then like all of a sudden the bride and the groom got involved
and now like, especially because social media became a thing, everybody has to like
have the coolest party.
So like the bride gets involved and decides where she's going now.
Everybody has to go figure that out.
Should get together and all make the decision where you're going,
where you're taking your buddy who's getting married.
What y'all going to do, what you're going to experience.
And, and that should be, that should be what it is.
Same thing for the, the girls.
I feel like it's getting out of hand too, what we're doing.
Like it used to just be a night.
It used to just be like something close.
You didn't have to be like Costa Rica or Anguilla.
Like it didn't have to be that.
Of course that was amazing, but like they don't have to be that extravagant.
I don't know.
But once they have a one night party because you're just doing it in your hometown then.
I remember.
That's what people used to do.
Yeah, I know.
I do now remember like hearing people doing this overnight or something.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Wow.
Forgot that was a thing.
That seems dumb.
That does seem dumb now.
You can only go wherever is close to wherever you live.
What if you live in.
I know, I agree.
But that's, Amy's right.
Like the majority, like if you jump back 30, 20 years ago.
It was just a party.
It wasn't a trip.
It wasn't like a weekend.
It was just a night.
Isn't it wild?
Yeah.
Because now my mind is totally like, no, it's gotta be a trip.
It's gotta be at least a two night, three night trip.
Yeah.
But it used to be like a bachelorette party one night or bachelorette party.
You're going to take your buddy to the strip club or you fail.
Yeah.
Wow.
Simpler times.
Yeah.
I've never been to a strip club.
Good for you.
Ever?
Never.
Man, you are a golden child.
Gold star for Travis.
Are all these questions from you?
No, no, no.
Are you getting married?
No.
Let's see here.
What's one food you couldn't live without?
Cheese.
What kind?
We're gonna narrow this down.
Cheddar cheese.
I know the basic cheese.
That's me.
My favorite thing is a bean and cheese burrito.
Like a bean and cheese quesadilla.
Like beans and cheese.
That's what I ate growing up.
My favorite.
This is white-grilled basic.
Yeah.
What's yours?
I mean, I could live without anything.
I could just move on to the next thing I like.
What?
That's not the question.
Well, what would your favorite food?
Well, I love buffalo sauce.
But that's not a food.
It's a condiment.
I know.
But if it didn't, if it was gone, taken from me,
I'd just go to A1 or something.
Okay.
Are we gonna live with that?
If it was ice cream?
Like, I don't know.
I don't have a, something that's like that high on my list.
That's interesting.
Steak?
I could do without it.
See, I love steak, but I don't have it that often.
I like it.
Really?
I like to eat it.
But I could make sure, I can make do.
If you took tacos away from me.
Tacos?
Yeah.
Yeah, tacos, it was like as a food.
I feel like after a period of time, I would just forget that it even existed.
Tacos is my go-to thing to make.
If I can't make anything else or if I've got a bunch of foods
that I feel like don't even make sense together,
I'll make them in a skillet and put it in a shell.
Like, tacos is just like always at the top of mind.
Or pizza.
That's...
Yeah, but I probably do without pizza.
I couldn't.
You couldn't?
No.
Hmm.
I probably have it at least once every two weeks at the longest.
Oh, yeah.
We have pizza at least once a week.
Like, more like once a week.
Yeah.
If I didn't have kids, I wouldn't have pizza so often.
Before kids, we didn't eat pizza that much.
I bought a bunch of those at the store.
They didn't have the ones that were green wisely.
But I got some others.
When Dale goes to the store, he gets a very,
a large amount of whatever he likes.
He forgets the storage capacity of the refrigerator
or the freezer.
He buys a bulk.
And he's not at the bulk store either.
Do you have a chest freezer though?
Yeah, we do.
So, we have plenty of options to...
We just have to scatter them all around the house
in all of the different areas.
And then you forget that they're in.
You open it and you're like,
surprise another pizza.
They're frozen pizza.
Like, it keeps for a while.
So, like, buy five and now you don't have to buy one for a bit.
Yeah.
But we got plenty.
Somebody here said crab legs is what they couldn't do without.
Gross.
That's like...
Oh my gosh.
That's a choice.
I have a crab legs though.
No, don't tell it.
I do.
I gotta do it.
We're live.
That's why I feel like this is gross.
We're live.
Just remember.
He had to associate the name.
We were at home eating crab legs.
We had them shipped in.
It was a gift from someone.
And we had some company over to help us eat
this large amount of crab legs.
I had steamed them in the oven as they're directed.
And then, you know, we sat down to eat
and we had the cracker, you know,
the pincher things to crack them open.
And the person sitting across from me
saw that I was having a hard time
and decided to help.
So he cracked a bunch open and then just
dangled the meat across until I ate it.
And Dale looked at me and he's like,
yeah, are you going to eat that?
Whoa, God, that looked good.
God, I'm going to die.
So this person's hands were covered.
Touched and touching it.
They were covered in like crab meat,
debris, crack.
All the shrapnel that comes out of the leg.
And they pulled this meat out of this thing.
And he's like.
It almost slurped him in.
And they're like, they're like, here you go, Amy.
And I'm like, I'm good.
He's like, I'm looking at Amy.
I'm like, yeah.
No, no, that's helmet.
He's helping you.
Yeah, you're going to eat that.
It was so, so bad.
And now we're both equally traumatized by it.
We haven't eaten a damn crab leg since.
I haven't either.
I mean, we haven't.
It was awful.
Yeah.
It was so, so gross.
Yeah, in our own home.
Could you like take crab meat out of someone's hand and eat it?
Another grown up.
Gross.
No.
If your fingers have touched the food that like I'm going to eat.
Yeah.
No.
Yeah.
All over it.
Paul did the whole thing.
Dale was terrified.
It was going to happen to him too.
So he was cracking the hell out.
See, that's what you get at Amy is like, Dale, it's your turn.
I could not get up from that table fast enough.
I was like, yeah, I'm full.
Man, this is good.
That's good.
See y'all next time.
I'm going to start cleaning up.
Party's over.
Yeah.
I was in, I won't tell.
I was in Phoenix.
Not Phoenix.
Memphis.
We had just ran a race at Memphis Motorsports Park
in the Xfinity Series 1999.
I think I run second and I'm about to clinch the championship
or maybe had clinched it, I guess, or we're in good shape.
Near the end of year.
We're in great mood.
We are in the car driving out of this racetrack through traffic.
I am in the car with Larry McRinalds of all people.
I think he was working the booth or something that day.
And in the back seat is a very good friend of mine
that I was racing with.
I don't want to name his name because it's up to him
to really reveal his identity.
He's in the back seat and it's a guy I raced with that day.
He's in the Xfinity race with me and he's coming home.
He's riding back with me.
We're all going back home and we're stuck in a little bit
of traffic and a race fan recognizes who's in the car.
And a couple of people start coming around the car.
Hey man, good job y'all.
Good race everybody.
Yep, yep, we're just on.
Yep, yep, I appreciate it man.
Sign a postcard, whatever.
This fan, this guy walks up and he's holding hot dogs
with his bare hands.
Gross.
And he says, y'all hungry?
Never been more full actually.
My buddy in the back says, I am hungry actually.
Oh no.
And took the two hot dogs.
Just a hot dog, no bun.
Out of this guy's hand, no bun.
Two hot dogs.
From this random person.
Out of this man's hand and instantly ate them.
And then instantly, I mean, before we get on the plane,
he is throwing up all over the place.
Why?
Because of what he was thinking.
He thought about what he just said.
I don't know if it may, either the thought of it
or it actually did make him sick.
But I was just with this guy the other day,
we were laughing about this.
But he's still traumatized.
Is it his crab leg?
Can he eat hot dogs?
That's his, that's his crab leg.
He can't eat hot dogs.
I'm going to go over here and feed you.
Oh my gosh.
That would be similar.
Probably a little less gross because it's not meat.
Disgusting.
That is so gross.
Yeah.
I don't, can say that I've.
I don't think we've eaten crab leg since.
I haven't eaten crab leg since.
I've not gotten, gotten sick and like, like that.
I haven't ever, I don't get sick.
He's the perfect man though.
He doesn't get sick.
Yeah, we learned last week.
Yeah.
They broke the, they broke the mold.
I remember the last time I threw up,
it was about eight years ago.
I threw up less than a year ago.
I'm not, I mean, I'm good.
We're going to eat.
This is a hotel in Nashville.
Oh my gosh.
All right.
We have any more questions?
We don't need to talk about this.
I think that's a good way to end the show.
Okay.
I mean, we still have anybody watching?
No, probably not.
We're done.
Thank you guys for tuning in.
Hope you are still with your food and not throwing up.
