About this episode
Dale and Amy bounce from collectible cards and a new drink partnership into a long, funny debate about driving manners, horn etiquette, and how much gratitude is too much when someone lets you merge. The conversation keeps drifting into everyday life: a beach drive, favorite Charleston-area food, houseboat plans, kids’ elaborate fake nails, and a tense moment when a child wandered off during a sleepover. Later, they play guessing games and trade opinions on Derby picks, emojis, and the kinds of personal laws they’d make.

This week’s episode of Bless Your ‘Hardt starts with a real conversation about something everyone deals with but rarely agrees on: driving etiquette. Dale and Amy break down a specific moment where a simple courtesy on the road turns into a full discussion about how people acknowledge each other behind the wheel. They dig into what feels polite versus awkward, and how different personalities show appreciation in those split-second interactions. It turns into a funny but surprisingly thoughtful look at how small habits in traffic say more about people than you might expect.
From there, the episode moves into a mix of family life and everyday chaos. There are birthday moments, stories around the house, and the kind of random updates that always seem to pop up in between everything else. Ask Amy is back with fan-submitted questions. They cover everything from go-to beauty products and favorite hats to Derby fashion takes, emoji habits, and completely random “would you make a law for this?” hypotheticals. It’s a fast-moving mix of real life, opinions, and laughs you won’t see coming.

Too Afraid to Ask
Term
cards
"Is there like a bunch of cards in there? Or is it just like a couple?... There's probably about 150 cards in there."
Here, “cards” means collectible trading cards. They’re talking about how many are in a box and how much one card is worth.
In this context, “cards” refers to collectible trading cards, not vehicle-related cards like key cards or service cards. The discussion is about card counts, storage, and the value of a specific collectible.
Term
black box
"How do I see it? Now you're curious. Now you want to see in my black box... But if you want to show your black box off, go get your black box."
A “black box” is a special device that records what a car is doing—like speed and events—so you can look back later. It’s often used after crashes or for tracking driving behavior.
A “black box” is a vehicle data recorder that logs driving events and sensor information (often used for crash investigation). In this segment, it’s being treated like a device the person wants to show off, implying it’s a specialized piece of equipment rather than a generic camera.
Concept
get it graded
"[273.0s] I think I need to send it off to get it graded. [276.3s] Wait, would you want to sign it first before you had it graded? [278.7s] I mean, you can always bust it out of the slab."
“Grading” means sending something to an expert service to check that it’s real and to rate how good its condition is. People do it because it can affect how much collectors are willing to pay.
“Grading” here refers to having a collectible evaluated and authenticated by a third-party service, typically assigning a condition score. In car-enthusiast circles this often comes up with collectible items tied to racing or automotive memorabilia, where condition and authenticity affect value.
Concept
slab
"[276.3s] Wait, would you want to sign it first before you had it graded? [278.7s] I mean, you can always bust it out of the slab. [282.5s] If you ever wanted to get it signed, you could do that."
A “slab” is the sealed, protective plastic case used by grading companies to hold an item after it’s graded. The point is to preserve condition and prevent handling damage, which is why the discussion mentions signing after or before it’s sealed.
Concept
soften the corner
"[295.5s] What if he swears it? [296.2s] Well, no, but he could, he could damage the edge or soften the corner. [301.1s] I'd be pissed."
“Softening the corner” means the sharp corner gets slightly worn down or rounded. Collectors care a lot because it can make the item look less perfect.
“Soften the corner” describes minor wear or rounding at an item’s corner, usually from handling or contact during signing. In grading contexts, even small edge/corner damage can lower the condition score.
Topic
driving home from the airport
"[509.9s] I got a random question. [512.2s] So you and I are driving home from the airport from that visit. [516.9s] And it's kind of hard getting through Troutman to turn off, [520.0s] to get home."
They’re talking about the drive home after flying in. It’s the setup for a conversation about how drivers should act on the road.
The hosts shift from talking about a restaurant partnership to a driving scenario—getting home after an airport visit. This sets up the episode’s theme about driving etiquette and how people behave on the road.
Topic
driving etiquette
"Traffic's gotten really heavy through there. Right at the Waffle House, sir? ... I'm like, wow, that was a little extra, don't you think?"
They’re talking about “driving etiquette,” meaning the little actions drivers do to be polite on the road. Here, they’re arguing about whether Dale’s extra gestures were too much.
The hosts are debating what’s considered polite or excessive behavior in traffic. In this segment, they focus on how drivers communicate thanks while letting someone merge or go first.
Term
horn honked
"[616.8s] So listen, listen, listen. [618.4s] Like, because I don't like getting a horn honked at me. [621.4s] I gotta tell you. [621.9s] It makes me annoyed."
The horn is the car’s loud warning sound. They’re saying they don’t like being honked at, because it makes them annoyed.
A “horn” is the vehicle’s audible warning device used to alert other drivers or pedestrians. “Honked” here is about using the horn as communication, and the speaker is saying it personally annoys them even if the intent might be friendly.
Concept
behind the wheel
"Even if like, it might be a nice honk. [626.0s] This is how my life changed behind the wheel of an automobile. [632.4s] Okay."
“Behind the wheel” just means you’re driving the car. They’re saying their life changed because of what happened while they were driving.
“Behind the wheel” means driving a car—being in control of the vehicle at the driver’s seat. In this segment, it’s used to introduce how the speaker’s driving experiences shaped their attitude.
Term
changing oil
"[750.8s] I worked at the dealership changing oil and I would drive to Marshville an hour from my house [757.1s] every Wednesday night and then back home."
Changing oil is basic car maintenance where you replace the old engine oil with new oil. It helps the engine run smoothly and protects it from wear.
“Changing oil” is routine maintenance where the engine’s oil is drained and replaced with fresh oil. It helps keep the engine lubricated and removes contaminants that build up over time.
Term
hand up
"You get within 10 miles of the town limits. Everybody drives by, just pops his hand up... If I just put the hand up, like the basic hand up that somebody's going to think I'm flipping them off."
They’re talking about a quick hand gesture drivers make to say “thanks” or “I see you.” The problem is that some people worry it could be mistaken for something rude.
In this context, “pops his hand up” and “put the hand up” refers to a brief gesture drivers use to acknowledge or communicate. It’s not a technical driving maneuver, but it’s a recognizable social signal that some drivers interpret differently depending on local norms.
Concept
merge etiquette
"I did a guy today, let me in. [819.1s] I was downtown Charlotte driving around that damn maniac town... people trying to get over and get this, get right and get left. People trying to get, you know, and a guy let me in..."
When someone says “let me in,” they mean they’re trying to change lanes or get into traffic. Being polite and predictable helps traffic move without near-misses.
“Let me in” is a real-world description of merge etiquette—how drivers coordinate when changing lanes or entering traffic. Good etiquette reduces conflict and helps traffic flow smoothly, while bad etiquette can make everyone more stressed.
Concept
lane changing
"I was downtown Charlotte driving around that damn maniac town, all the traffic going on and people trying to get over and get this, get right and get left."
They’re describing when cars move into a different lane in busy traffic. Doing it smoothly means you pick the right moment and don’t cut people off.
The segment describes drivers “trying to get over” and “get right and get left,” which is essentially lane changing in heavy traffic. Lane changes require spacing, signaling, and timing to avoid forcing other drivers to brake or swerve.
Concept
pregnant pause
"“That's rude. Because I give you like a pregnant pause at the light. And if you're not moving, if those light, if the brake lights haven't come off.”"
A “pregnant pause” here just means a short, intentional delay—like waiting a second at a green light before you go. They’re debating whether that delay is long enough that honking feels justified or rude.
In driving etiquette, a “pregnant pause” is the deliberate, brief hesitation at a traffic light before moving or before reacting. In this conversation, it’s used to justify when someone might honk (or not) if the light has changed but the car ahead hasn’t moved yet.
Term
brake lights
"But all I look for is if the brake lights come off, I'm good. Yeah. I don't need you to be like jumping it."
Brake lights are the red lights that turn on when someone presses the brake pedal. They’re basically a clear “I’m slowing down” signal to the cars behind.
Brake lights are the red lights on a car that illuminate when the driver applies the brakes. In the conversation, they’re using brake lights as a simple signal that the other driver has slowed down safely.
Term
long horn
"Now I do hit the long one. Like if you're getting cut off on that highway. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like you got to let him know."
A “long horn” is when you hold the horn for a longer beep instead of a quick tap. They’re saying it’s a clearer warning when someone cuts you off.
A “long horn” typically means holding the horn button for an extended sound to make the warning more noticeable. The hosts treat it as a safer, more communicative option when someone is cutting you off.
Concept
getting cut off
"Like if you're getting cut off on that highway. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like you got to let him know. For safety, you can use the long horn."
“Getting cut off” is when another car slides in front of you and you have to react, like braking or changing lanes. They’re talking about how to handle that situation without making it worse.
“Getting cut off” means another driver moves into your lane in a way that forces you to slow down or change your driving. The hosts connect it to etiquette and safety—using warnings rather than escalating the situation.
Concept
gas it
"My, my go-to when somebody cuts me off is to, is to gas it and get up this item. And it's there out of."
“Gas it” means you press the gas pedal harder to speed up quickly. They’re describing it as their instinct when someone cuts them off, which can be aggressive.
“Gas it” means pressing the accelerator quickly to increase speed. In the segment, it’s described as the speaker’s go-to reaction when someone cuts them off—an aggressive response that can be risky if there’s not enough space.
Concept
mashing the gas
"And he's also mashing the gas, but looking straight out. Not looking at all where he's going."
“Mashing the gas” just means stomping on the accelerator to make the car speed up quickly. In this context, it suggests the other driver was driving aggressively.
“Mashing the gas” means pressing the accelerator pedal aggressively, usually to get rapid acceleration. In driving etiquette discussions, it often implies the driver is acting with urgency or impatience rather than smoothly merging or passing.
Car
Dodge Challenger
"We get into Charlotte and this orange, orange Dodge Challenger kind of car, like literally raced around me. And as the lane was ending, they cut across my nose."
A Dodge Challenger is a popular American muscle car. Here it’s mentioned because it behaved aggressively—cutting across the narrator’s lane while they were driving.
The Dodge Challenger is a muscle car from Dodge, known for strong straight-line acceleration and wide availability in performance trims. In this story, it’s the specific car that cut across the narrator’s lane while they were driving into Charlotte.
Concept
lane was ending
"And as the lane was ending, they cut across my nose. And I mean, it was close and I floored it."
A lane “was ending” means the road is narrowing and you have to merge. The safe move is to merge carefully and give other drivers room instead of cutting in at the last second.
When a lane “is ending,” it’s a traffic situation where drivers must merge into the remaining lanes. Proper etiquette is to give space, signal, and merge smoothly—cutting across can force others to brake or swerve.
Concept
floored it
"And as the lane was ending, they cut across my nose. And I mean, it was close and I floored it."
“Floored it” means you pressed the gas pedal to the floor to accelerate as hard as possible. Here it sounds like the narrator did it to get away from a dangerous situation.
“Floored it” means pushing the accelerator pedal all the way down for maximum acceleration. Drivers often do this to avoid a hazard or to quickly create space when another vehicle cuts in too close.
Term
miles per gallon
"The other one is miles per gallon. So I'll be trying to run fast while not using the gas pedal unnecessarily to try to make sure the fuel is, because if we,"
Miles per gallon (MPG) is how efficiently a car uses fuel. It tells you how far you can drive on one gallon—higher MPG usually means you spend less on gas.
“Miles per gallon” (MPG) is a fuel-economy measure that tells you how many miles a vehicle can travel for each gallon of fuel. Higher MPG generally means the car is using less fuel to cover the same distance.
Term
gas pedal
"So I'll be trying to run fast while not using the gas pedal unnecessarily to try to make sure the fuel is, because if we, When we leave the house in South Carolina to go home,"
The gas pedal is what you press to make the car go faster. If you press it too much or too often, you usually use more gas.
The “gas pedal” is the accelerator pedal that controls engine power by regulating how much fuel and air the engine receives. In fuel-economy discussions, lighter or smarter pedal use can reduce unnecessary fuel burn.
Term
tandem drafting
"It's like, I'm always trying to like do really good on the gas mileage. And the third thing that is entertaining is if you're, if you get, get in a, if you're with a car that's in the same, running the same pace as you and y'all are on the road for like hours, you, you never make eye contact. There is no communication whatsoever between either driver, but it's, but for some reason you feel like you both are working together. It's like tandem drafting. Unspoken team situations."
Tandem drafting is when two cars kind of “work together” by driving close enough that the air resistance for the car behind gets reduced. It can help the back car keep speed more efficiently.
“Tandem drafting” is when two cars drive close together in the same direction, using the lead car’s airflow to reduce aerodynamic drag for the trailing car. It can make it easier to maintain speed with less effort, especially on highways.
Term
cruise control
"[1413.6s] It's not, that's perfect when you're on cruise control. [1415.6s] We've got to minimize our, our risk of, uh, [1417.7s] cruise control is not allowed because that ruins your mileage. [1420.4s] That ruins your gas mileage."
Cruise control is a feature that keeps your car at the same speed without you pressing the gas pedal. You set the speed once, and the car tries to maintain it until you turn it off or brake.
Cruise control is a driver-assistance feature that automatically holds a set speed using the car’s throttle and engine management. It can reduce workload on long drives, but it doesn’t override speed limits or account for traffic the way a careful driver does.
Term
gas mileage
"[1417.7s] cruise control is not allowed because that ruins your mileage. [1420.4s] That ruins your gas mileage. [1421.9s] Cruise control ruins the gas mileage?"
Gas mileage is how far your car can go on a gallon of gas (or how much fuel it uses). Things like speed, traffic, and hills can make it better or worse.
Gas mileage is how efficiently a vehicle uses fuel, usually measured as miles per gallon (MPG) or liters per 100 km. Driving style and conditions (traffic, hills, speed) can change it more than cruise control itself.
Concept
speed limit
"[1432.1s] I love cruise control. [1433.2s] When you're breaking, you know, when you're speeding [1435.1s] five, 10 mile an hour over the speed limit [1437.0s] and you've got a couple of guys around you"
The speed limit is the legally posted maximum speed for a road segment, set based on safety factors like traffic density, visibility, and road design. Exceeding it—especially by several miles per hour—can increase stopping distance needs and crash risk.

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've got big, strong hands.
Are you suffering from high crack?
I'm working.
Working that mouth.
Hi guys, Dale and I are in the Dirty Mo Media Studio for another round of Bless Your Heart.
Let's get started.
We're going to have to go through the cards.
I mean, at this point, I feel like everybody needs to see what your little black box looks like.
It's not even the best black box of all the black boxes that I have.
You have more? You have multiple black boxes?
Just identical to that one. We have a lot of cards of value. It's a big collection. I have
a card.
Is there like a bunch of cards in there? Or is it just like a couple?
How do I see it? Now you're curious. Now you want to see in my black box.
And you didn't even want to see in it earlier.
You didn't even want me to bring it in here, in the room.
Yeah, I have a hard time taking it seriously.
But if you want to show your black box off, go get your black box.
It's just shiny and he had it sit in the middle of the dining table the other day.
Perfectly centered. It's the only thing on the table as if it was the centerpiece.
And I walked by and just laughed. I'm like, this is what we're doing now.
He takes it everywhere. It's like it's blanky.
It's his new purse. Security blanket. We should have security following him around.
This is a box that you have when you have overdone the cards.
Collect cards and you have cards of decent value and you just want them to be in a box.
This is the box you have.
How many cards are in there?
Brush him and steal the cards.
It's not even half full. Probably, I don't know.
There's probably about 150 cards in there.
But my best card in this box right here, and I just found this, got this one recently,
is this bow nicks.
You pulled this? You bought this? How'd you get this?
I pulled it out of a pack.
It's a color wheel, bow nicks, one of 10.
It's worth about sitting right here right now, about 3,500 bucks.
And so I said, let's find a way to get it signed.
I don't want it signed.
And Dale literally got panicked.
I don't want it signed.
I think that's what cinnamon's to it.
He physically almost seized up standing here.
He was like, no.
I don't want it signed. I like it the way it is.
But doesn't it add value?
I don't think, I don't know.
Most signatures on something make it more valuable.
That's something for me to consider.
See, short circuiting over here.
He's like, I can't touch my cards.
Yeah, it becomes more valuable.
AI just said it.
How many things have you signed in your life?
Y'all, I have been, I got back into collecting and I have hit two really big cards.
And it was that King Griffey Junior Downtown and this card.
And all the other cards that I've been landing are decent, but nothing crazy.
And so let me just, let me just sit tight for a minute.
Let me just let this sink in.
Let me just hug on it for a minute.
It's kind of like winning a race.
I need a few days for it to sink in.
Before you watch.
Wait, so when you want to race, you wouldn't celebrate or anything immediately after,
would you?
You'd let it sink in and then you'd celebrate.
Okay, so let's get this signed and celebrate.
I'm not signing it.
Signing it is not related.
Yeah, I don't know about that.
I don't know about signing it.
I think I need to send it off to get it graded.
Wait, would you want to sign it first before you had it graded?
I mean, you can always bust it out of the slab.
If you ever wanted to get it signed, you could do that.
But I don't, I'm not interested in getting it signed.
I just like it the way it is.
I pulled it out of the pack.
That's the way I like it.
Got it.
I would go get it graded first.
If I give it to the guy.
So if I hand it over to the bone next and he signs it and he's.
What if he swears it?
Well, no, but he could, he could damage the edge or soften the corner.
I'd be pissed.
Not that Bowen X would do that on purpose,
but I'm just saying the hand just everybody's in trouble.
It trading gloves, hands and all this.
No, it could.
No, I got it.
Okay.
You just hang tight onto that box.
Hang tight to it.
Don't let it get out of sight.
Yeah.
Speaking of out of sight, we have a good drink to sip on today.
Presented by high rock.
It is called the sun drop spritz.
And it is a very fun drink because you can drink it right out of your can.
You have two ounces of high rock vodka,
two ounces of sun drop and a splash of lime juice.
So super simple.
You can garnish it with a cherry if you like.
Very refreshing.
That is really good.
Dale's so surprised.
I am because.
Is it the can that throws you off?
No, no, no.
I expected it to taste like sun drop and vodka,
which I've drank a lot,
but it has that's whatever.
The lime juice.
The lime cuts it.
Yep.
It's super refreshing.
I could pound those in the pool, couldn't we?
About 12 of those.
About 12, yeah.
I don't know if I need the sparkling water
because that's how we get sun drop in it.
Well, the sun drop is my sparkling water.
Yeah, well, I forgot about sparkling water part.
The sun, the sun drop is North Carolina's sparkling water.
I never even heard of sun drop.
If you want some sparkling water in North Carolina,
there ain't going to go hand you last some sun drop.
Sun drop.
Forget about your water.
You're soda water.
Here it is, bud.
It's delicious.
Don't forget to check out highrockvodka.com
to find a bottle near you.
You can use the store locator
and find all of the Sugar Lens products
plus High Rock Vodka.
Don't forget, you also must be 21 years or over.
Please drink responsibly.
Yep, that's right.
Me and Amy went to Nashville Sunday.
Texas Roadhouse was having a big national sales meeting.
All of their operators and owners were in the building
over 2,500 people easily.
And we got up in front of them and celebrated the new,
somewhat new, the Dale Yed drink that we've had on the menu.
It's been on the menu.
And I want to know about a third of their stores
for the last year or two.
Well, it's going nationwide now.
Yes, last week.
You can go, if you sit down at a Texas Roadhouse
anywhere in the country,
there'll be a drink menu on the table.
Our drink will be right there, front and center.
The Dale Yed is a Cream Sickle-esque drink with High Rock Vodka.
It's delicious.
It's kicking ass everywhere they sell it.
All of the Texas Roadhouses have had a lot of success with it.
And so that's why they're taking it all over the country.
And so, yeah, we were out there celebrating the national launch
of the drink with them.
So that was a lot of fun.
Texas Roadhouse, they're a great group.
They're the best.
They're an incredible company.
Very family-oriented.
Treat their folks so nice.
Yes.
And everyone we met that owns a restaurant in their area
has kind of had that similar vibe.
Everyone just sits really down to earth and great.
They're just regular people.
And we met all of them.
And they take great care of their operators.
And so we're really thankful to get to a partnership with them.
Yes.
And the drink's delicious.
And if you haven't been to a Texas Roadhouse soon,
visit one and try out the Dale Yed.
You're missing out, honestly.
You are missing out.
Yeah, it's a great drink.
I got a random question.
So you and I are driving home from the airport from that visit.
And it's kind of hard getting through Troutman to turn off,
to get home.
Traffic's gotten really heavy through there.
Right at the Waffle House, sir?
Yes, at the new Waffle House.
So we're turning left across traffic and the seas part
and let Dale gets to go through.
And this lady basically stopped just to let him go.
And instead of just giving them the handover,
the steering wheel, the common wave,
or a little baby tap on the horn, Dale does all the things.
He waves, like, for a scump, he toots his horn,
and he, like, gives her a high five thumbs up.
Like, he did everything he possibly could
to thank her for letting him through.
I'm like, wow, that was a little extra, don't you think?
He's like, what?
I want to make sure she knows I'm thankful.
I appreciate it because if someone doesn't even,
if I don't see a way from them, I'm mad at her.
I know, like, I'm down for acknowledgement.
I totally agree.
I overdid it.
He overdid it so much we're holding up for traffic now
because he wants to make sure she's looking out of her window
and saw all of his mannerisms.
I'm like, that was, for him especially, too, I'm like, what was that?
Why am I singling me out?
Low key and laid back when it comes to most things.
Like, you're like, Mr. Cool, like, yeah, I'm gonna wave off.
I mean, you used to be, maybe we graduated out of that.
I think I'm really, I think I'm anxiety-ridden and high strong.
You are, but you usually don't, like, let it fly out of your body like that.
I think I walk around and a big bundle of emotion.
Well, it all was visible in that moment.
It was pretty damn funny.
What's the proper way?
So listen, listen, listen.
Like, because I don't like getting a horn honked at me.
I gotta tell you.
It makes me annoyed.
Even if like, it might be a nice honk.
This is how my life changed behind the wheel of an automobile.
Okay.
I feel like we're getting heavy.
I had a lot of moments in my life that were defining, defining moments with the steering
wheel in my hand, but when I was 20, roughly, my dad had me drive a race car for a man named Gary
Hargett and he lived down near the South Carolina, North Carolina line near Paisland.
And coincidentally lived in, he lived in town, Marshville, which is famous for the country singer.
Marshville?
Marshville.
Gosh.
And a woman.
You made him at the, at the Luke Holmes concert.
Oh s***, sweet.
Why are you gonna stump me?
He's the great, one of the greatest country singers of all time.
Randy Travis.
Randy Travis.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So Randy Travis from, from Marshville.
I didn't know that.
And, oh, I heard some Randy Travis stories.
He was a wild kid when he was in his teenagers, yeah, teenage years.
He was wild in Marshville, but so I'm a, I'm a punk kid.
You know, I'm a punk kid, head banging to my, my, uh, uh, stone timber pilots and Nirvana and
all that stuff and hitting, you know, playing mailbox baseball out of the bed of my pickup
truck, throwing exit cars and s***, just a punk.
And no one, I have driven a car since I was 16 and no one anywhere around where I live
waved, waving on the street.
It wasn't a thing.
But when you get about six to 10 miles outside of Marshville,
everybody on the road starts to wave and I would drive down there every Wednesday night.
I worked at the dealership changing oil and I would drive to Marshville an hour from my house
every Wednesday night and then back home.
I'd work on my car for a couple of hours and I'd drive back home and then I'd go down
there every weekend to go race with Gary.
We'd drive, drive the hour to Marshville and we'd go to the beach three and a half hours
down the street and race and come home.
So there's a lot of driving to Marshville, lots.
And it never failed.
You get within 10 miles of the town limits.
Everybody drives by, just pops his hand up, everyone and it gets more and more frequent
and consistent and I loved it.
And I was like, man, why isn't, why are these people down here waving at total strangers
going down their street?
And then you get out of this area and up toward where I live and everybody's complete
that nobody wants to, nobody wants to engage or, or, or acknowledge anyone.
Everybody's just like, buddy, I don't care about your day.
It was like that in Texas too.
My dad always waved at people and I remember him waving at people, but it was like the,
and he'd do it.
It's like somebody in the back window could see it.
I did a guy today, let me in.
I was downtown Charlotte driving around that damn maniac town, all the traffic going on and
people trying to get over and get this, get right and get left.
And everybody's trying to get, you know, and a guy let me in and I'm like, man, I really
appreciate it because I was in a spot, but I get really nervous now.
If I just put the hand up, like the basic hand up that somebody's going to think I'm
flipping them off.
Yeah.
Oh, you know, if they're flipping you off, you should feel it for sure.
But I just wouldn't want anybody to think I'm doing that out of nervousness.
So I feel like that there is not enough of that in this world.
There's not enough kindness.
Just basic kindness.
Just general, Hey, what's up?
Not nice.
Just a hand on the steering wheel, a little finger, whatever, something small and easy.
And so I do it all the time, driving down our road, especially.
Yeah.
I just feel like it, there needs to be more.
That's just a small sample of some of what this, what we need more just in the world
is just that, Hey, what's up neighbor kind of mentality.
Don't live in Connecticut then.
Yeah.
They don't, you walk by someone, you'll say hello and they're just head down walking
like East Coast live up there at Northeast.
It's like hustle and bustle.
I hate that for them too.
That's a good way to put that.
I hate that for them.
They're not choosing joy.
That's for sure.
But I mean, I, I go to Boston.
I know some great people, Massachusetts and some really nice folks all over the country.
But yeah, there's little pockets, you know, where you'll get a little bit more of that than normal.
Yeah.
But I, so, you know, we are driving down the road.
Traffic is gridlock stopped for about two miles all the way back to the interstate.
I'm trying to turn across lanes in, on, on to this road that'll take us home
and the person stops and lets me go through.
She wasn't going, if she didn't stop, she was just going to move forward half a car.
I mean, she just, you know,
Yeah, traffic won't stop.
She wouldn't go anywhere.
So it wasn't like she did me this massive favor, but it's just like, Hey,
I see what you did.
Thank you for doing it.
Thumbs up high five.
If I could, you know, back slap, maybe give you a hug, half hug.
He would have, every, he was very excited in that moment.
I just was like, wow, I can't believe that's really affected you so much.
Sometimes in a better, I mean, plus sometimes people are in better moods.
And I'm that way.
I get up in bad moods, great moods, middle moods.
This week's been a roller coaster.
Yeah, I was in a shitty mood.
Today is shoes in a shirt match as Travis.
Yeah, I saw him walking and I go, we're in a good one.
We're in a good mood.
Everything's matching.
Yesterday I was in a really bad mood.
He woke up wanting to eat someone alive yesterday.
I almost texted him like, don't eat someone today.
I did text Stefan.
I was like, Hey man, he's on the chip.
Just heads up.
I hate that you are talking about me behind my back.
Do you guys, you could have kindly included me on that text.
It would have been funny.
I'd have been like, no, I'm not.
You know, we could have.
Maybe.
But no, now I'm just going to assume that you're always talking behind my back.
Well, don't include me.
I was not a part of this.
We're always talking behind your back.
I was not included in this.
He wasn't.
You might be the next one.
Just text Stefan because you were, you had,
I just knew you're coming up here to do your show.
And, and he's usually meeting you in the lobby to like,
get you to sign something or do something.
And he was going to be your first good morning.
And I was like, he doesn't need to take this too.
I'm just going to text him heads up.
Yeah.
Are you guys quick to hit your horn when you drive?
No.
Because I've realized that.
What do you mean hit my horn?
Like using it to.
Yeah.
I don't ever use my horn.
Oh, I think it's a problem for me.
I don't.
You are a horn honker.
Yeah.
Dude, that's a, that is a problem.
That's rude.
Because I give you like a pregnant pause at the light.
And if you're not moving, if those light,
if the brake lights haven't come off.
What? Hey, let me.
That happens to me all the time.
I'm the person you're honking at.
You probably actually honked at me at the light.
And I'm like, ah.
Hey, there is a moment where this does feel fine
because the pregnant pause needs to be long.
Where did y'all come up with that term?
By the way, the pregnant pause.
I think it's when somebody tells you that they're pregnant.
That's a pause where you like.
The awkward don't know what to say.
Is that where it comes from?
I don't know.
No, it's a, it's a pregnant, a large pause.
An embellished.
Yes, it's a bloated pause.
A bloated? Oh my God.
I hope you get roasted for that comment.
You can edit it out.
We're not live.
A bloated pause.
But like pregnant, a bloated pause,
whatever you want to call it.
A large pause, an extended pause.
I get it.
I get it.
I get it.
I get it.
I get it.
I am one of those people.
Well, look.
But also I'm not going to honk at someone.
I will sit through a whole freaking lights.
Oh no.
So listen, everybody's on their phones.
And bull.
Well, sometimes I'm slinging chicken nuggets.
And I, yeah.
I'm sure the hell out of that.
Sometimes you're slinging your chicken nuggets.
But if he, if you're sitting there, light goes green.
One, two, three.
I think at three, you can do a horn,
but it's got to be a, it's got to be a quick one.
Yeah.
I get, I get the long.
I don't hold the horn.
Long horn.
Long horn makes you want to get out of my
f***ing room.
Long horn's your rude.
Long horn's rude.
In any occasion.
Long horn's rude.
The only time you're allowed to use your horn
and it be a kind like suggestion is the third.
It looks like a, excuse me.
Yeah.
That's right.
Hey, hey, pal.
Hey, pal.
All right.
But all I look for is if the brake lights come off, I'm good.
Yeah.
I don't need you to be like jumping it.
As long as he, the brake lights come off,
I'm not hitting the horn.
Yeah.
Now I do hit the long one.
Like if you're getting cut off on that highway.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like you got to let him know.
For safety, you can use the long horn.
Use that for sure all day.
My go-to in that moment.
Speaking of, do you want to tell them about
our fricking Uber ride the other night?
My, my go-to when somebody cuts me off is to,
is to gas it and get up this item.
And it's there out of.
He's that aggressive race car driver.
Yeah.
I don't think.
And he's also mashing the gas, but looking straight out.
Not looking at all where he's going.
I don't hit the horn, which I probably should,
just to hit the horn instead.
But I'm wanting to get, I'm wanting to make eye contact with him.
So I'm like, what the f***?
And I'll get up there and I'll be like, what?
Hey.
What you doing?
You know the arm out?
Oh yeah.
That's so Yankee of you, Ralph.
Oh my gosh.
We were driving down the road.
We were, I think this was on one of our first shows.
We're driving down the road.
We're coming home from the beach.
Been driving for hours.
We get into Charlotte and this orange,
orange Dodge Challenger kind of car,
like literally raced around me.
And as the lane was ending, they cut across my nose.
And I mean, it was close and I floored it.
Like I was bad.
I was going to f***ing see this guy.
Me and this guy were going to have a f***ing conversation.
And Amy's like, as soon as I...
I've never seen an act like that.
Soon as she heard the engines accelerate,
she goes, you got kids in the back.
Yeah.
Mayday.
I was like, oh yeah.
Just a fair fit for the reminder.
I totally forgot.
They're all in the car.
They all thought it was turn four.
He's going, oh man.
She's like, the f*** you did.
Here I come.
I was like, no way you ain't doing that shit.
So sometimes when I get my horn honked at me,
I feel like that.
I'm like, you've caught me in the wrong minute.
I am distracted for a bad reason.
Somebody's in the car wanting some or whatever.
And then that happens.
And I'm like, oh my God.
Somebody's going to get it.
And it's going to be the guy behind me
that's honking his horn.
Can you imagine if you pass Dale and he pulls up
and you're like, that's Dale Earnhardt Jr.?
Yeah.
That's happened before.
Not because he's trying to be aggressive
because there was a situation on the road,
but there have been people kind of sliding up and down
on the highway because of that.
You're passing each other.
You're passing the same people really.
All the time.
Especially from South Carolina here.
Back and forth, you know.
So that's happened a few times.
I love that.
When I'm driving from the beach,
it's a three and a half hour drive.
And so I have, there's three things that will entertain me
on this boring ass drive, right?
There's three things.
And one is, as soon as you pull out of the driveway,
you see on the, I do the, you know, the map on ways.
So it'll say, all right, you're ETAs this time.
And I'm like, all right.
Challenge accepted.
I gotta see how quickly I can cut that down.
Shave a couple numbers off.
Shave some numbers off.
The other one is miles per gallon.
So I'll be trying to run fast while not using the gas pedal
unnecessarily to try to make sure the fuel is, because if we,
When we leave the house in South Carolina to go home,
we are going to get home in, with a full tank in the suburban,
we're going to usually have about 40 miles left on the tank.
And so I'm always trying to get like 60 miles.
Yes.
So traffic's bad too.
It's like, I'm always trying to like do really good on the gas mileage.
And the third thing that is entertaining is if you're, if you get,
get in a, if you're, if you're with a car that's in the same,
running the same pace as you and y'all are on the road for like hours,
you, you never make eye contact.
There is no communication whatsoever between either driver,
but it's, but for some reason you feel like you both are working together.
It's like tandem drafting.
Unspoken team situations.
We just became best friends from the road.
We're, we're like, we're breaking the law by 10 mile an hour.
It's time for you to leave for a while, man.
Yeah.
All right. I'll leave for a while.
You leave for a while, you know.
It's not, that's perfect when you're on cruise control.
We've got to minimize our, our risk of, uh,
cruise control is not allowed because that ruins your mileage.
That ruins your gas mileage.
Cruise control ruins the gas mileage?
Yeah.
Cause it always runs really hard to get like,
in my mind, I can do it better.
I feel the same.
Yeah.
That felt the same.
Yeah.
I love cruise control.
When you're breaking, you know, when you're speeding
five, 10 mile an hour over the speed limit
and you've got a couple of guys around you
that are kind of doing it too,
it's kind of like, all right boys,
let's kind of, you know, somebody else leads every now and then.
Yeah, we're doing a dance.
Let's kind of, let's kind of keep it, keep it,
you know, keeping, they don't know who to catch.
They don't know who to pull over.
There's a lot, there's all of us doing this.
You know, there's a lot of strength in numbers.
It's smart to always have a few financial goals
and a really smart one you can set,
earning cashback on what you buy every day.
And with Discover, you can get this.

Speaking of Sullivan's Island,
I had the pleasure of experiencing that.
But what is this corn salad?
Yes, I gave Travis, so he went down to Charleston last week
and I gave him a short list of places that we like to hit up.
And he went to one of our favorite restaurants
on the island, the Longboard.
Longboard, it's amazing.
And so there is this corn salad on the menu
that we are obsessed with.
There's like this limey, tangy dressing.
It's corn salad, corn, arugula, onions.
It has arugula in it?
Yeah, he didn't even see the arugula.
It's like, I ate arugula.
That's the one dish of arugula in it that I'll eat.
He actually likes, because otherwise you're like,
get that shit out of my food.
And it's delicious.
And so Travis, of course, has been instructed
to order the corn salad and he gets there
and there's nothing, no corn in the building.
I didn't know that they only sold it during certain hours.
The bartender said they had like seven different menus
depending on the time of day.
Unreal.
I didn't know that.
That must be like a newer thing.
I thought corn salad just is universal.
It should be on there all the time.
It's one of the best dishes on Sullivan's Island.
The corn salad at the longboard is one of the best things you'll eat.
And it's supposed to be a shareable thing and Dale gets it
and like literally puts his arm around it.
I get it.
I'm like, get what you want.
Yeah, you get a little spoonfuls out and then I eat the rest.
Get what you want right now.
I'm taking the rest.
I thought about just name dropping to see if maybe
I can talk them into making it for me.
I would have texted the owner.
I knew too late.
Now you got to go back.
Yeah, I just have to go back, which I mean, I had a blast.
How fun is it?
Like did Charles sit on Friday, which was fun,
but I'd rather do Shims Creek or Sullivan's Island.
We haven't done Shims Creek a bunch.
But it's got a lot.
That's not a bunch.
Well, oh, I went to the wreck per your request.
The outdoor area was closed for a private party.
Yeah, that's just a shame.
We eat inside.
I wanted to be outside.
We also didn't get there right.
So you have to go to the wreck right when it opens.
The inside is the authentic experience.
Yeah.
But you also have to get there as soon as it opens.
In the screen and in the back porch.
Well, the problem was though, I didn't get there early.
So like the weight and I like, oh, the weight is terrible.
It's terrible.
You can't make reservations.
And it is the simplest plate of food.
It is very southern, like low country style food.
But also it was where they filmed a lot of the outer banks.
Okay.
So people go now too, because it's kind of a destination
just because of that.
So he couldn't get in.
But yeah, the longboard and the corn salad,
we're going to have to protest this menu that you were given.
Saturday at two apparently is not the right time
to get the corn salad.
To get the corn salad.
Noted.
It's good because it's light.
And if you're drinking and you're day drinking,
it don't turn you upside down.
He text, Dale texted me in an uproar though.
Like you and all three of us were not even in the same city.
You're texting him about it.
He's texting me about it.
I'm like, I don't know.
I couldn't get corn at the farmer's market either.
It was too...
Amy thought there was a national corn storage.
I'm like, maybe there's a corn crisis.
Amy's like, well, you know the class of corn has gone up.
It has.
Josh couldn't even get corn at the farmer's market.
It's just too expensive.
I wonder why you put, what's the corn crisis?
Corn crisis.
He said he was bored at the racetrack too.
I'm like, why don't you just sit there and Google
about the corn crisis.
There's a corn crisis from noon to five.
Come back.
Really gone.
But yeah, I'm ready to go back because it was fun.
It is so fun.
I miss it.
We were going to try to go down there this weekend,
but it's going to be raining.
So we figured we'd stay.
We're sticking around.
I'm going to take her out on the houseboat.
Oh, you're going to go out or just...
You've been out.
I don't know.
We might leave the dock.
We might not.
Hey, I'll get some corn.
You can come meet us.
We'll try to recreate the salad.
You've checked the houseboat out.
Yeah, I like it.
It's awesome.
You've been on the boat?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Really?
When you and the girls were...
I forget where you guys were at.
And it was just like a Saturday.
And you had Travis on the boat?
Did anybody else come?
I called him up and I said...
I called you and Tim and Tim was busy.
And he's like, I'll come over.
And we just sat on the top, drank about six beers.
Well, it's nice.
Yeah.
That was fun.
Then he rolled out.
Then he rolled out.
Yeah, well...
I think it was a good purchase.
I think it was a good purchase.
Oh, yes.
I love it.
I can't wait to see it.
Did it stink?
I'm going to go see it tonight.
No, it was clean, fresh.
Fresh.
I'm going to go look.
Me and the girls are going to go over there tonight
and make sure everything operates.
And then we might have a weekend overnighter.
We're going to try to just hang out at the dock.
I might untie it and take her out for a couple of hours
just to stretch the legs.
You get it right.
It's easy to get it going and go.
It's not that hard.
It's not that big of a deal.
No, it's not.
It's just a boat.
Yeah.
It's just a boat.
Yes.
So let's talk about Isla's birthday.
Today is Isla's birthday.
Yesterday was your dad's birthday.
Who would have been 75,
which is like a while to think of him being an old man.
I enjoy this one.
You enjoy what?
His birthday.
Yeah.
It's not a sad day, is it?
Like nobody gets sad.
I usually don't.
It usually doesn't register for some reason.
I see a lot of posts on social media.
I think it's all right.
It's cool.
Every day is a great day, right?
Every day is a dayling heart day, not just a birthday.
But, you know, because I see posts of dad
all the time, every day, all year.
So it's like, it's just a little bit more on his birthday.
But this was a 75th.
So that was just proud, more pride, more happiness about it.
I don't know.
People were, people were like, you know, 75.
That's an important number.
Almost like as if he was still here.
All these people were like, you know,
you're seeing people like try to imagine
like what, you know, he might be doing or how he might be.
I told Dale last night, I was like,
we should put him into chat and like the latest photo we have
and see what chat would make him look like at 75.
Yeah.
And just for fun.
Yeah.
But I think he would still look,
you know how people say Harry Gantt
looks like he could still drive a race car?
That's the way I feel like dad would be.
He would still, he'd be gray and, and he might,
I don't know if he'd dye his hair or he might not.
I don't know.
Yeah.
It's hard to imagine that face.
It's especially with his mustache.
He'd probably, but he'd look no different.
Never mind him, but I can't imagine him dying his hair.
No, I can't either.
I can't imagine him taking it seriously enough.
I don't, yeah, I don't know.
Well, I don't know why I said that.
Take that out.
Take that out.
He didn't drive a black race car.
Yeah.
Everything was man and black,
be intimidated or all that.
Maybe he would.
I don't know why I think he might dye his hair, but.
Who knows?
I don't know.
That's just cool.
And yeah, it's so fun that dad and Isla's birthdays are together.
Isla hears and coalies.
Me and Nicole were two days apart.
Yeah.
So Isla's eight today.
We had her birthday party last week.
You got her, I saw you wrapping a gift this morning or yesterday with a little handle.
Is that like, is that the nail kit?
It's a trading card kit.
It's definitely not trading cards.
If I got her a special box like that and there were nothing but cards in there,
she'd be like, what's, what am I supposed to do with that?
She would expect jewels or something to be in there.
She, I don't know what she got.
She wanted it.
It was, she got a nail kit of sorts and then she got this little fashion thing where
she gets to design clothes and I think that's what's in that box.
I'm going to tell you the, I don't know.
She just left me a list.
I might get roasted for this because I'm not, I'm old.
It's going to sound, I'm going to sound like an old man here.
But so last Christmas and for a lot of holidays and so forth,
Chris, anytime there's a present situation, they get the little fake nails and they stick them on
and they play with them and then they come off and they change them and
they have stickers that go on their nails, all that stuff, which is fine.
I'm vacuuming.
I got them a little shark vacuum.
I'm vacuuming up fake nails all over the s***, especially after Christmas.
There's little fake nails everywhere.
They get sucked everywhere.
They're everywhere.
Yeah.
And you find them for days, but it's fine.
It's funny.
And so, but there's a new, there's a new thing in town.
It's worse.
It is so crazy.
I don't get it at all, but they love it.
So they, they get these fake nails and now they do, they do a nail on their fingernail.
They do a fake nail, right?
And then they, they glue like an object.
They've got gems or bows or like little plastic flowers or something.
Little plastic and they're, they're like, these things just sit on their nails.
They're three dimensional.
They're not.
Oh, damn.
They're big.
It's like a hood ornament.
They're objects.
Yes.
It's like a hood ornament.
It's like a hood ornament.
And, and Ila will do her nails, come downstairs and she'll have an angel, a bird, a star.
A ladybug.
A ladybug, all on her nails and she walks around the rest of the day like this.
Mom, can you give me a water?
Can you open it too?
Mom, can you, um, open my chips?
Yeah.
Cause she's, now she's got no freaking fingers.
So annoying.
I'm like, what in the hell?
Yeah.
And she's, she uses superglue to do this.
So she'll superglue the nail onto her finger so that it won't fall off.
And then she'll superglue the objects or gems or whatever on her fingernail
so that they don't fall off.
So now there's like little bottles of superglue kind of about.
Yep.
Yeah.
Which is terrifying.
The whole thing is just bad.
Yep.
Yeah.
And she does her sister's nails, which I think sweet as heck.
It was so sweet.
I tried to talk her out of it though because Nicole doesn't like having her nails done.
As soon as you even paint them, she pulls, she like rips it all off.
Or she'll eat it off.
Like she'll scrape it off her teeth.
I'm like, I don't want you to do that.
She's going to swallow one of those things.
Of course she does it anyway.
And Nicole's like walking around just like prancing and being fancy and like posing
because her nails, she's like, you know, being dramatic as Nicole is.
And so, and then, you know, 20 minutes later, they're laying all over the floor.
Yep.
Yeah.
No, I didn't, I did not get her any of those.
Who?
I didn't get any of that.
Who did it?
Who did it?
One of her friends.
We want a name.
That one's not coming back.
It was from her birthday party.
Yeah, that friend's no longer invited.
Me and the dad are going to have a conversation.
I'm just kidding.
So, it makes me like wonder like, okay, when they're 18, 25, whatever.
Is that what nails are going to be?
I don't know.
So like all the younger girls are doing that at the nail shop now too.
Like a nail design is really big.
I don't have the patience to sit there and get my nails painted like that.
Like it takes a lot of time.
The last time I did it, like a design on the tip.
Remember I did that like tortoise shell tip and Dale's like,
it looks like you've been working under the car.
It looks like your nails are actually dirtier than when you went to the nail shop.
It was a total fail.
So, I haven't done it in the kids since I just get like a basic paint.
And so, there are older girls doing that.
It's very popular now.
Oh my gosh.
That's why the kids are available.
And they can't do, they can't physically do shit without knocking them things off.
A lot of the girls have like claws.
They're like long, really long fingernails.
That's been around forever, but.
Well, it's all back.
It's very popular.
I know.
It'll phase out.
Don't worry about it.
Did you get the earrings in Nicole's ears this morning?
I didn't, but she, she sat there and tried for a while.
So, I only got a package in the mail from my grandmother, my grandmother.
So, they're a great grandmother.
And she always sends something for both of the kids.
And so, when Nicole got a little tiny set of earrings that have little Yorkies dangling from them,
and she's since taken both of her earrings out, but she's decided she is determined to
put these things in her ears.
So, she sits downstairs for at least a half an hour.
I went upstairs to like get ready to leave.
And I came back down and she's like, I couldn't do it.
I was like, we'll do it later.
She's like, I really want you to put them in my ears right now.
I want to go to school with them in my ears.
I was like, Kali, we don't think we have time for that.
And I didn't really want to like go through all that process.
So, we put them back in the bag and she didn't.
We just awarded.
But I have a feeling that's going to be my evening project.
Well, you're doing stuff.
I'm taking the girls to the boat.
That's right.
So, maybe we'll do it tomorrow.
So, Dale can do it.
Nope.
He sat there and watched her try to poke it through her ear.
And I was shocked.
I can't, I couldn't believe he stood there to watch that, you know.
Trying.
I'm trying to learn.
He was trying.
He was.
He let it happen.
No fits or nothing.
Not even a grimace.
Speaking of grimaces though, I have to tell you is that
Isla did something at the birthday party after you left.
He got up to go to the race track on Saturday morning.
Oh, after slum party.
Yeah.
So, we had a little slumber party.
There's only three girls there.
We had the little lady come do the tents.
Like everybody's seen it on the internet.
That's like the popular thing to do for a slumber party.
So, there's three girls in Isla.
So, there's four girls.
And the next morning, Dale gets up to leave.
So, I've got the girls by myself.
And the moms are coming to get him between 10 and 11 o'clock.
Well, the girl that's coming or leaving the earliest is
got a soccer game.
And so, like I'm trying to make sure that all other things are picked up
and the girls are outside playing on the play set
before the lady comes to like retrieve her tents.
And so, I've got the front door open.
They're outside.
I could hear them.
And all of a sudden, two of the girls come inside
and they're like, hey, Miss Amy, Isla left.
I'm like, what do you mean she left?
Well, she walked down the hill.
She said she was going to the other house.
So, your mom's old house, guest house.
I'm like, okay, that's not that big of a deal.
Isla's never wanted to just wander about.
And the barn is like the furthest she would go.
And so, I'm like, okay, don't worry.
I'm so closely having all the stuff picked up.
I'll be out in just a second.
And so, she and one of the other girls had walked down the hill.
And I knew that she knew where the key was, but when I got finished,
the girls came back to me.
They're like, hey, she still hasn't come back.
And so, I got a little worried.
I'm like, okay, great.
Maybe they're in the house down there just playing in the guest house.
You know what I mean?
So, I get in the suburban.
I'm like, I'm not walking down the hill.
Girls get in the car with me.
So, we go down the hill.
We go to the guest house.
I get to the front door.
It's locked.
And we get back in the car.
I drive down a little further.
I look at the pond.
No one's in the pond.
I immediately, like, I'm thinking, oh my gosh,
what if somebody fell in the water in the pond
or in the pool or something?
Check those boxes.
Everybody's not in the water.
And so, we get back in the car and we continue our journey around
by the saloon and around the whole property and didn't find them.
And we get back to the house.
I'm like, surely they just, like, beat us back here.
Or maybe they were at the place at the whole time
and they didn't really, they were hiding, I don't know.
And they're in the house.
Well, they weren't in the house.
And all of a sudden, they come walking up like 30 seconds later,
they had followed us up the road.
But they were down at the little racetrack.
And she had taken her friend all the way around the property
with no shoes on, didn't tell me she was leaving, and had me panicked.
I was trying to play it cool, but after I couldn't find him
after driving around, like, the panic was starting to set in.
And the little girl's mom was any second going to show up.
And I was not going to be able to tell her mom where her name kid was.
I told Ayla, I'm like, there's a few reasons why that's not okay.
And that's the, that's the first one.
Like, what am I supposed to tell her mother if she comes to retrieve her?
And I've got no clue where she's at.
So I don't know.
I don't even know what to do in those moments.
Of course, they're safe or inside the gate.
There's no, it's not that big of a deal.
Except she might always go to the worst, like.
The worst, yes.
Especially when you can't hear them.
You know, like, something really bad happened.
So anyway, I just thought I'd let you know how Saturday actually looked for me.
Interesting. She would never do that by herself.
She had a friend, we got to watch them.
She would never do that by herself.
When they, when they get teamed up, we got to watch them.
But summer parties are actually not that big of a deal.
Everybody makes a big deal about, oh my God, you're going to host a summer party.
That's like, got to be a lot of work.
It was fine.
It's smart to always have a few financial goals.
And a really smart one you can set, earning cash back on what you buy every day.
And with Discover, you can get this.

Now don't, I'm going to set it up.
Yep.
You guys are going to pick up one person at a time.
You won't be able to see who you're holding.
You're going to ask questions and Dale will answer, Amy will answer it on like,
so you'd like, is it a woman?
Is it a man?
I got, so I'm going to go first.
For the audio listeners, we will put the answers in the description because obviously
you won't be able to see the video.
People will see it.
So he's going to hold up a stick with a face on it.
Yeah, you'll be able to see the face.
He can't.
Okay.
And I have to give descriptive words.
Can he see through there?
No, no.
What am I not allowed to say?
No, Dale will ask questions to you to try to guess it.
Oh, this is going to be, that's better.
Okay, keep going.
So Dale, Dale, you'll ask a question to Amy.
Does that, do I have a job?
Yes.
Do I wear a hat?
No.
Oh geez, do I wear a uniform?
Yes.
But I don't wear a hat.
Nope, no hat.
Ever.
Nope.
And I wear a uniform.
Yes.
Under no circumstances would I ever have a hat on?
Not for your job.
Okay.
Um, what about a helmet?
Nope, no helmet.
Do I use, do I use tools?
No.
Is my suit top and bottom, is my outfit the same?
Top and bottom?
Yeah.
Same color?
Yes.
Nurse?
No.
No.
These are like famous people.
A f*** man, I thought I had a job.
I thought it was like a job, like a job.
No, no, no, it's a person.
You're trying to get a specific name.
Oh really?
I don't even know that guy's name.
Oh f***.
So far Amazians are fine.
You didn't even play in a totally different game.
No, you're trying to guess the person's name.
All right.
You're getting closer.
You're wearing a uniform.
You'll get it.
You'll get it.
Well, you don't know it.
I don't.
That's fine.
I don't.
Travis does.
It'll be fine.
I think if you get closer, you'll figure it out.
And I have to think about it.
Okay.
I mean, I know who it is because I feel like you've talked
about this person lately, but you, I don't know his name.
How are they suit?
You are a uniform.
A uniform.
And I don't wear a helmet or a hat.
I'm not a driver.
No.
I'm not a, I'm not a, I'm not a, I'm not a Gucci for nothing.
Can you use something else?
Oh, that's really helpful.
Thank you.
I can't give you an answer.
So just ask questions.
Uh, I wear a microphone.
No.
Do I have a microphone?
No.
Do I play a sport?
Yes.
Basketball, football, basketball, Michael Jordan?
Nope.
He doesn't play anymore.

The rookie of the year.
Yep.
And Darryl's heart.
Our rookie of the year.
Yeah.
Yeah.
All right.
Amy, it's your turn.
All right.
Do you know who the person is?
Yes.
Okay.
Oh, dude.
Travis is chuckling.
It's like a little girl.
All right.
Am I a man?
Yep.
Am I a race car driver?
No.
Am I?
Am I loved?
Like, yeah.
And I'm not wildly hated.
Like, I'm not hated.
I'm like, okay.
No, you're not.
Am I an athlete?
No, I'm not athletic.
Oh my gosh.
Am I a loudmouth?
You can be.
You might, you can be at times.
Am I on TV?
Sometimes rarely, though.
Do I play a sport?
No.
Damn.
Is it Steve LaTarte?
Nope.
He's on TV sometimes.
He's on TV a lot.
Well.
I'd say he's on TV.
Yeah, I would call that a lot.
All right.
Yeah.
Sometimes on the TV.
Yeah, forget the TV part.
It's not going to help you.
Okay, forget it.
All right.
Yep.
Um, am I tall?
Nope.
I'm a short guy that's kind of a loudmouth on TV sometimes.
I'm not an athlete.
Don't worry about the TV sometimes part.
Am I a cartoon?
Am I a SpongeBob?
No, you're not a cartoon.
Damn, this is hard.
Not really.
Am I TJ?
No.
Oh, because we were talking about how he's not really athletic.
Is it Travis?
No.
I feel like he's more athletic.
Damn.
I'm athletic.
I said, she said, is it TJ?
I said to get warmer and she went to Travis.
Yeah, what the hell, Amy?
I don't know.
I feel like somebody is supposed to be working in this room on the TV.
Dang.
Freddie?
Forget about on the TV.
Yeah, get rid of the TV part.
I'm trying to remember all the other questions I asked.
I'm short.
I'm loudmouth.
He's not super short.
He's just not tall.
Can I get a hint?
He likes, um, Bud Light.
Well, who doesn't?
Who doesn't?
Oh, Tim.
Tim Duggar.
You said he's not athletic.
He's going to freaking kill your ass.
I think he's going to avoid-
He just beat up on this show.
He's going to veto us as friends in general
and never watch this show again.
Every time one of our shows come out,
we have to make, we have to-
Disclaimer.
Coddle him and get make that.
We have to make light, we have to make nice with him again.
Oh my gosh.
Okay.
You ready?
As somebody that I know-
No.
But I don't know who they are,
but they're not a friend of mine.
Do they play sport?
No.
No.
Are they, um-
They did.
They did play a sport.
Yeah.
Is it a sport?
Yeah.
Okay.
It's a questionable, whether it's a sport or something else.
All right.

From that sport, yes.
Is Hank Parker Senior?
No.
Is Hank Parker Senior?
No.
Because maybe it's Fisherman.

No, not racing.
And I don't know them.
No, I don't think you know them.
Yeah.
Are they on TV?
Yes.
Are they a broadcaster?
No.
I wonder what they're doing on TV.
If they've retired-
What else could have someone on TV been doing?
If they kind of played a sport and then they are now on TV-
He's transcended his sport.
Is he an actor?
Yes.
Interesting.
It's an actor that kind of played a sport or played it's something that would-
We know it's a guy.

Who's about your age?
My age.
Do you know what the sport is?
Yeah.
Football, baseball, soccer?

Golf?
Nope.
Fishing?

Nope.
Hunting?
Can I give him a hint?
Yeah.
It was an inside sport.
He did play football in college.
That's gonna throw you out.
That's not what he's known for though.
He played as an indoor sport.
It was an indoor sport that he's not retired from.
An indoor sport.
Swimming?
No.
I mean, hey.
His outfit was real simpler to a swimsuit.
Right?
Yeah.
It was pretty tiny.
That's a good hat.
Indoor.
What do swimmers wear?
The little trunks, right?
It's so f***ing funny.
You've interviewed some of his competitors.
Yes, you have.
I've interviewed some of his competitors?
Yes.
Some of his competitors in acting?

He's like, don't-
Oh, wait, my turn.

Okay, you're picking up another one.
All right.
Oh, yeah, I think this is my favorite one.
You gave me all the hard ones, didn't you?
No.
You gave me the funny ones?
The good ones.
Oh, God.
Why did it take him a second?
He took a pregnant pause.
What the f*** was that?
What was that?
It took me a second to recognize who it was.
Is it Sidney Sweeney?
No.
No.
Why are you both laughing so hard?
Oh, am I close?
Yeah, I mean, you're in the age range.
No, well, when this picture was taken, maybe.
Is it Linda Vaughn?
No.
No.
I don't think I will react to Linda Vaughn that late.
You wouldn't have?
I don't think so.
I would go, oh.
Camille Anderson?
I'm just thinking about Boobs now.
Tyra Banks?
Are we just going to go through all the women?
With titties, yeah.
Okay, then we'll get there eventually, I imagine.
Okay, if that's the route you want to take, let's go.
Am I a model?
Not really, no.
Am I an actor?
Actress.
Probably 25, 30% of your life.
You did something else more than acting, but you did do some acting.
Am I an athlete also?
No.
Am I current?
Not really anymore.
Miss Piggy?
No, that's so terrible.
Am I blonde?
I'm blonde.
I used to act a little, but that wasn't my main job.
Who are the blondies?
Why can't I think of this?
Dolly Parton?
No, I wouldn't have reacted to Dolly Parton the way I did.
God, why is this so funny?
Because it's funny.
Because it is.
It is.
I feel like I'm going to be embarrassed, which is why I'm so mad that you held this for so long.
Really?
Damn.
You're going to...
Travis is dirty.
That's why he's dirty.
You're going to be mad that I held it in my hand or so on.
You're going to be mad that you held it.
Oh, damn.
Actually, if you could hold it over your face while we play this game, Amy?
No.
Don't do that.
No, Travis.
Let's establish her job, like her normal job.
Yes, so her normal job wasn't acting.
Is it Kim Kardashian?
No.
Is she on reality TV?
No.
Well, she had one.
Yeah, she did.
I forgot.
Is it Jessica Simpson?
The expression on this picture too is like,
get out of here.
All right, you ready?
I'm ready.
Oh, gosh.
What is that reaction?
All right, I was going to give you hints because I feel like I'm playing this game
all wrong all the beginning.
I know, right?
Go ahead.
Male or female?
You have to ask one question.
Is it a male?
Yes.
Is it a female?
You said two.
It's a male.
All right, thanks.
Athlete.
Stephen A. Smith would say no.
Stephen A. Smith would say no.
It's a race car driver.
Damn.
No.
It's me.
No.
No.
Martricks Jr.
Damn.
That was too easy, Travis.
Dang, what?
It's too easy.
It's somebody tricks.
All right, here's my last one.
All right.
No reaction whatsoever.
I don't know her name.
This is full Travis does.

OK, go.
So it's a woman.
Is she blonde?
No.
She's brunette.
Is she an actress?
Is she an athlete?
No.
Does she do a regular job?
No.
Is she a nurse?
Is she like someone we know in town?
She's a famous person.
Quite famous.
She's not an actress.
I should have made them all Jessica Simpson.
You should have.
That would have been funny.
Oh my god.
I'm trying to think.
Do I have big boobs?
What else?
I don't think so.
I'm sorry.
I don't know that answer.
I don't really think so.
Oh really?
I don't think so.
Nobody even knows?
Yeah, she doesn't know.

But is Sierra, most Sierra do?
She's on Thummer House.

Hey, y'all.
Dale and I are in the Dirty Mo' Media suit.
Sorry, we are in the Dirty Mo' Media studios
for another round of Ask Amy.
What are your questions, Travis?
All right, so first question here is.
You think that's so funny.
And it is.
Sorry, I do that a lot.
That's all right.
First time you ever done that.
No, I do that just about once a week.
She did it last week, too.
Not live.
Yeah, we are live.
Remember, we are like we counter down
and maybe makes her nervous.
Honestly, the game got me stuck.
Five, four, three.
I'll type it out next time.
So you can just read it.
It feels like it's like 1960 news television.
We're coming online.
We're coming live almost six p.m.
for the six o'clock news folks.
Get ready.
Dan, straighten your tie.
So our first question.
Someone wants to know what's one of your like every day
go to like beauty products that you use.
And every day go to beauty product.
Besides like I have this pretty simple routine.
I never skip my moisturizer just because
I'm getting to the age where you can't do that.
But I don't I don't put makeup on every day.
I just feel like that's not good for my skin.
But I think it's just my moisturizer.
Yeah, okay.
Makeup wise, like I don't really leave my house
without some eyebrows and my eyelashes
because my hair is super blonde.
And so it just looks like I'm a little sick.
I don't put some of that on.
But another question is we've had this a few times.
Someone wants to know where do you come up
with all your hats that you have on?
Some are gifts.
Some like this one right here I got from Laura Boyer
from our Bunko League.
She gave everybody a hat.
I buy a lot of hats from Briley King.
She owns a company called the Little Bird Trucking Company.
And so she's got just some fun designs.
And I love a trucker hat like like a big tall hat.
And I've bought a few out of the shop here.
I almost wear one today that said do it for Dale
but landed on Bunko instead.
I don't know.
Were you always a hat person?
Yeah, I've always loved hats.
Cowboy hats.
I mean, I would wear bigger hats if it was appropriate.
James here today was wearing a hat,
but he didn't like the point.
And he was like making a divot
because he said that was better.
And I'm like, now you just look dumb.
Now you just look dumb.
So it was better so it was more of a stock.
You just have a little crater at the top here.
Well, James has a very distinct taste in his outfit too.
Well, he had a trucker hat on,
which is like the first we've ever seen
where a trucker hat.
They're usually not so tall.
Yeah.
Speaking of hats,
will you be tuning into the Kentucky Derby this weekend
to watch the look at the outfits?
You bet.
That is one of my favorite fashion shows to watch
because everyone like really goes for it.
You don't really get to wear a hat in most places either,
especially the fascinators on like the big really overdone hats.
Some people go really out there and like decorate their own
and put horses and all kinds of like things on there.
And that's fun too.
It's just fun to see the fashions in general.
Dale and I got to go to the Derby a couple of times
and getting those outfits together was always really fun.
I went to the Derby for NBC
and they had about 25 expert analysts on their 12 hour coverage
and I picked the winner.
I remember that.
Over all of the experts.
He also picked his outfit after I had picked mine
and chose a pink jacket.
And he's on TV and it's his day.
I'm just getting to go along.
But I had this like really bright neon pink dress
and so after he decided on his outfit,
which was like days before we were leaving,
I had to re-do my whole look,
which is hard when you have a hat and all the things included.
Is it pink supposed to be for Friday?
Yes, the stakes, the oaks on Friday.
Yeah, on Friday you are pink.
I usually just find the fun horse name.
That's who I usually just like bet on.
Yeah, that's the only way I know how to bet.
I mean, you have to watch the numbers too,
but they change so much too in the last few minutes
that unless you're really paying attention,
it's hard to keep up with.
Maybe you could be like Isla for the next one
and put like a horse on your fingernails.
That would be, I should just let her decorate my fingernails.
Maybe she can do like jockey silk designs
and I have like all the diamonds and stuff on my fingernails.
I'm not going to tell her that Travis,
because she'll go for it.
I'm definitely going to tell her.
Next question.
This one is definitely out there in left field.
You can only have one vegetable to use as a weapon in combat.
What are you choosing?
A vegetable?
A potato?
Like they make potato guns already, right?
I didn't even think about that part of it.
I think that's the answer.
Yeah, unless you just want to get something really stinky.
Like broccoli.
Not the broccoli.
Only that's going to hurt though.
No, it won't hurt.
I don't know.
Yeah, potatoes.
Potato gun.
Potato guns.
Do the kids even make those anymore?
I don't know.
Kids, adults made them.
Kids didn't make them.
I'm saying like.
Use them.
Like play with them.
College kids now like is that still a thing?
I don't think they're college kids only thing.
That's when I used it.
He was in fraternity, it sounds like.
Well, I mean, I was a potato gun.
I never saw my daddy had.
So around here, I guess it's just late 30s, early 40s.
What are you shooting with a potato gun?
Potatoes?
Potatoes.
In real life.
No, what are you shooting at?
Like what is the point of a potato gun?
See how far it goes?
Stop signs.
Just see how far it goes.
Just shoot it in the sky and hope.
You'll just put more.
You put more and more stuff in there and it goes farther.
And it's literally just for fun.
Just for fun.
You're not doing anything real with it.
Yeah, you're not.
You damn sure can't even hardly aim with the thing.
It's just going to go where it goes.
We tried though.
We tried to hit like a stop sign.
Like shoot like a RPG kind of deal.
And you hold it over your shoulder like that.
Yeah, that's pretty stupid.
Well, listen, it was in college.
You know, we all survived.
We all survived some bad choices.
Yes, that's true.
Next question.
What are your most common used emojis?
Line is probably a heart.
I don't know.
It'll tell you.
The cry face, like I'm crying, laughing.
The crying emoji, laughing, crying, laughing.
The salute emoji.
I use that one a lot for like, I got you or.
I hear you.
I hear you.
The salute?
Yeah, he's saluting like this.
You use that one?
Yeah.
Oh.
That's kind of like, all right, got you.
He's never sent that one to me.
That's a guy's, yeah.
That's guys only.
I wouldn't salute a female.
Why the hell not?
I don't know.
I just wouldn't.
That would be weird going, you bet, ma'am.
You know, I don't know.
That would be awesome.
Yeah, okay.
Yeah, send me a salute.
All right, I'll send you a salute.
Mine are the cry face, the emoji with the hand over his face,
or the guy that's like doing the like wonky smile.
Yeah, I got the face palm guy.
That's the one I use.
I do the guy partying with the little party hat on.
Again, never sent me that one.
Because I do that when I'm happy about something.
I think something's great.
That's kind of like an exaggeration.
Like, hell yeah, party.
Let me see that.
I don't have that.
I'll just send it to you.
And then the little blushing guy, I use him a lot.
That's like, I am pleased.
Wait, blushing is I am pleased?
That doesn't make sense.
It's the guy smiling with red cheeks.
Oh, yeah, rosy cheeks.
That's the, I am very happy about this.
Whatever's happened in this conversation has pleased me.
The king is pleased.
I'm still hung up on that salute situation.
Yeah, I mean, it makes.
You should salute me.
Yeah, I'll just salute him.
Yeah, but then he's gonna, you could be like, oh, am I like,
you think I'm a drill instructor?
Like you could.
I am.
Do you know I send, I send the gun.
I send the muscle a lot.
To who?
I send the muscle.
The muscle emoji is like a hell yeah.
Like when you send your buddy the muscle one, that's kind of like,
you damn right.
Like, yeah, you want to get some beers.
You just respond with the muscle.
Or like, hey man, we're gonna go to the bar tomorrow night.
I'm excited.
Muscle.
I'm gonna start incorporating that.
Yeah, I feel like you should.
Muscle.
Amy used to hate it when I'd send her the thumbs up.
No, that's your sister.
I never cared.
Really?
Yeah.
Kelly doesn't really.
You told me.
She wants more of a, wherever an answer than just a thumbs up.
She feels like that's like a little too short.
I remember you saying that you didn't like, I'm one of your buddies.
Don't send me your thumbs up.
Yeah, I want to salute instead.
All right, you're gonna salute.
What, I wonder what people prefer.
What do you prefer to get?
Like Taney's point, she'd rather get a salute.
I just think it's fun to change it up.
I want different emojis.
What is the emoji with the star eyes?
Sometimes we send each other emojis that have nothing to do with the conversation.
Sometimes I don't know what emojis really mean,
but I send them thinking I've got my own little interpretation.
I feel like if you send a star eye,
that means somebody sent you something that you like.
Yes.
You like to see the picture or thing you like.
I send a little star eyes emoji when I'm like,
this is awesome.
I like that.
Okay.
But yeah, it's sometimes hard you've sent in.
You're like, I hope the person knows what I'm thinking.
Yeah, I hope we're all on the same page here with emojis.
I send the one with the smiley face with the hearts around it a lot.
I send Amy a kissy one.
He sends me the honeypot.
Is that what it's called, honeypot?
Where the guy's kissing.
No, the actual honeypot.
Like it looks like a honeycomb pot.
Instead of saying honey, I send, I go, what's up honeypot?
That's funny.
Um, yeah.
Yes.
Look at that.
I call her, I like to call her all the names that you think somebody might,
like I think I like to call her all the names that you think a guy might call his wife in the 70s.
Which were what?
Like sugar britches.
Sugar britches, yeah.
Um, I just like to call her funny little names like that, little nicknames.
I try hard to like switch it up like the next one,
one with sugar britches, the next one might be something completely different.
Sure.
Snookums.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Amy, do you have any pet names for Dale?
Not really.
Just Dale and Ralph.
Ralph.
Honey.
I call you honey.
Darling.
Sometimes I say darling.
I say it to the kids, maybe not Dale.
Yeah.
No, I don't get darling much.
Did you guys ever have any nicknames growing up?
No, I didn't.
I, because my name's so short anyway.
Yeah.
I was hammerhead.
He had a lot of nicknames.
Um, no, Amy's that I, like through college,
high school and college I got Amos.
I called that quite a bit and then Sonny would call me that too when I moved here.
He called me that.
So it's kind of like one that kind of traveled,
even though I didn't take it with me.
So that kind of reoccurred in life.
Yeah.
A lot of people will also just for like,
I had lots of nicknames within just refer to me by my last name a lot of times,
which I, I have a bunch of friends that like usually just refer to them by their last name.
I don't call them by their first name.
Always like was the enviotes of that.
So we had a, um, a buddy of ours named David Hobus and we all called him Hobus.
And I was just like, man, getting called, you know, by your last name must, must be cool.
That is pretty nice.
Yeah.
Sometimes I do that with Isla just to get her attention.
Well, yeah, I like that.
I like her last name only.
The Earnhardt name tossed around.
She turns and looks at me every time.
See, I knew when I was in trouble, when my mom would drop,
she'd say my first and middle and not the last name.
And it was like, oh, I'm in trouble.
Like that was down there and salute.
Yeah.
That was okay.
But yes, ma'am.
Yes, ma'am.
Yeah.
Uh, one more question here.
If you could make a law, can be big or small,
just something that you want to be a law that people have to follow.
Oh, man.
A law.
Oh my.
Can I just make a law for Dale?
Sure.
Sure law.
I was going to start a fight.
Oh, Jesus.
Let's not do that.
I feel like there should be a law for video games after a certain age.
That's dumb.
No, it's not.
Oh my gosh.
No more video games after the age of like 25.
No.
Yeah.
Oh my gosh.
I regret this question.
This is 20.
Yeah.
There's so many other things to do.
Like what?
Like things.
I mean, let me tell you this, having to pack an extra new petite game system for a vacation
because of the video games is, I feel like that's gone too far.
You know what I mean?
So I feel like after a certain age, you stop doing things, things like that.
I don't know.
Yeah.
I can't agree with that.
I know, unpopular opinion in the room, but that's how I feel.
Do you have a law?
Um, video games till I die.
That's my law.
That doesn't make sense.
Yeah.
Video games for life.
Gamers for life.
What?
Gamers.
Gamers for life.
I'm with the illness one.
Like what's wrong with it?
They take up too much time.
Yeah.
Maybe limit.
I used to sit on my race and rig for 10 hours straight.
Now I play college football for one hour and three times a week, take up too much time.
My law would be you can walk around outside with an open container.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, I like that one.
These social districts, just everything social district.
The only thing about that is people would be leaving them everywhere.
That's, that's like a lot of the reason why they don't do it in some cities, right?
It's because of the literary.
I don't know.
Yeah.
Like, I don't know.
I love it when I'm in Key West or any of those towns where I get to do that.
So I get you.
Well, it's Key West open or they just don't care.
I don't know.
We walk around everywhere.
They don't care.
I don't think they care.
Oh, yeah.
I don't know if it's open, to be honest.
But they sell you all those frozen drinks on the street.
Like, so I feel like it has to be.
Oh, yeah.
You're going bar to bar to bar.
Yeah.
I think on Beale Street or some of those streets,
it's open because you have that like that little bar that's the tiny bar that's right there
on the sidewalk.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
All right.
Well, I think that's a good place to end the show.
That's fine.
You talked about bars anymore.
I was going to be wanting to go to the bar.
Well, you can just drink some of your cocktail here.
Let's go to the bar.
All right.
