The following is a production of Dirty Mo' Media.
00:04
Oh, yeah, this is where it's going to be, girl.
00:05
If we're going to hang out, open a bunch of jars,
00:08
you've got big, strong hands.
00:12
Are you suffering from high-craft?
00:17
Working that mouth.
00:19
Hi, guys, Dale Jr. and I are back for our first episode
00:23
of our second season of Bless Your Heart.
00:25
We're in the Dirty Mo' Media studios.
00:27
How's it going, Hall of Famer?
00:29
Yeah, it's Hall of Fame week. Oh, yeah. I figured I'd fluff you a little.
00:32
I am not going to get to go. No, that's Daddy Daughter Dance.
00:36
Daddy Daughter Dance. Yeah. Yeah, the Hall of Fame is inducting their folks,
00:39
and I'm going to have to miss it this year, but for good reason. Yes.
00:44
I'm good to answer your question. Oh, good. Glad we're back. I'm glad.
00:49
I'm glad we're back, too. I've been missing the squeaky chair.
00:53
I've been missing doing the show and yeah. We're excited to have Travis on board this year.
00:58
Looking forward to it. Oh, yeah. We got a new producer.
01:02
We have a new producer. You know him very well, though.
01:05
That was a surprise under the tree this morning. The tree is still up.
01:10
Some of the Christmas decorations actually are still up at our house.
01:13
The tree has been removed, but my lazy ass has piled. I'm gathering all the Christmas trinkets,
01:19
and they're all in this sitting room. The totes are there. I just haven't put the stuff in.
01:25
We talked about, yeah, it's happened. It'll happen. We've been busy.
01:30
There's literally not been kind of, for Amy at least, that I can recall,
01:34
there's not really been a day that just kind of, okay, I got the day to do
01:38
a project or do whatever I'm going to do this. I thought Elle might have taken the
01:42
initiative last week and put some of the stuff away. She just came back from a big trip.
01:47
Yeah. So right before the trip, though, I threw out my back, so I wasn't lifting anything.
01:50
Just this is part of being old. We talked about being a grain right before we started the show.
01:54
Travis is 38. He's on the cusp of graininess, and you better watch out. Your back's going to
01:59
start doing weird things. Your knees are starting to start creaking. You're going to start just
02:03
having boogers fly out of your nose for no reason. You'll be having bigger boogers accumulate
02:08
in the corners of your nose. I get that. I don't know if it's because it's maybe just too dry
02:12
right now with the air. I used to not have to worry about keeping that thing free and clear,
02:17
but it's more daily. They're everywhere? Yeah. Do you sleep with your mouth open?
02:22
I drool a lot. That's amazing. So you're drooling and snotty every
02:28
when you wake up and then running your crusty all over? Yes. I'm basically like a five-year-old.
02:33
This is why you're single. Well, I'm not. Oh my gosh. All right. All right. Should we talk about
02:39
the drink of the week presented by Hierarch Vodka? Yes. Today's drink of the week is a
02:45
Cosmopolitan. You know, hear about these? I don't know what's in them. What's one of my things?
02:48
But you hear people ordering these all the time. On a few occasions this year,
02:56
we are going to line up the cocktail that we have with Hierarch's Drink of the Week
03:02
on their social channels. So check out Hierarch's social channels. We put a lot of content out on
03:08
there and we'll be having, you know, whatever we're having here is likely going to line up with what
03:14
they're promoting. You can also review the recipes as well. Right. So the Cosmopolitan is a,
03:20
you got to combine all this in a shaker with ice, two ounces of Hierarch Vodka,
03:26
1.5 ounces of triple sec, 1.5 ounces of cranberry juice, a little lime juice,
03:31
shake and strain. You can put a little lemon twist on there if you want.
03:36
We got some lemon in there. It's a classic. This is a classic. It's slightly refreshing.
03:40
And very refreshing. It's very cold too.
03:44
Yeah, tart. I like it. It's kind of like a, you know, kind of way I like candy and stuff like
03:48
that says I could drink it. I didn't know. I don't think I've ever had a Cosmopolitan.
03:54
Well, it's like got a stigma because it's usually like it's a pink drink and it's in a martini glass.
03:59
That's why I call it the Cosmopolitan. I can't do the short version. You can't call it a Cosmo?
04:05
No, because that leans even further into the stigma, you know, the pink and
04:10
the femininity. Sounds like it's a, you know, drink a female would order.
04:14
It is. It's like the drink of sex in the city. It's also like a, like you're at the pool,
04:19
the like women by the pool getting, they're going to order some Cosmopolitan. Cosmos are the drink
04:24
from sex in the city. So like forever it was like the drink that Carrie always ordered on
04:28
sex in the city. So it definitely has like a girl stigma. This reminds me, y'all know Jade Gerst,
04:33
great friend and used to be the bud PR representative back in the 2000s.
04:39
And so when I would go to the race track or do anything bud wiser, Jade made it happen,
04:44
made sure we were on time. We go to the drive through and, you know, we all got our quirks.
04:51
I love picking on Jade because he's just so fun. Does he take it well? Yes. Yes. He and I had a
05:03
still today. He wrote a few books, driver number eight and stuff like that. But we were going
05:08
through the drive through fast food joint and he gets up there and I tell him what I want. He
05:13
knows what he wants. He speaks in the microphone. I would like the number three combination
05:18
and the number six combination. And I'm like, combination, combination. Never heard anyone do
05:25
that. What? I was like combo, man. Does it even say it says combo on the thing? Yeah. Dude, he was
05:32
not having it. He was going thoroughly into the, into the vocabulary, going going with the
05:37
common. I'm like, are you, do you say combination when no one's here? What are you doing that for?
05:42
He didn't do that. Just make you laugh. No, he was totally serious and I was like, hold up.
05:47
I have a friend that doesn't say deli. They say deli cont, like Delica. Yeah.
05:52
That's so extra. Yes. It's too much. It is too much. Well, I get it now because I would say
06:00
cosmopolitan, please. If I were to order this, I feel like there's a good chance you might now.
06:05
I'm still testing it. I'm still testing it. I'm still testing it. I'm not sure. I like the
06:10
tardiness of it, the citrus and whatever going on there. Tardy party. It's a lot. I mean, it's a
06:15
lot. You couldn't, you wouldn't want to stack them, but you could have one. No, they say two.
06:20
You know how you, two martinis is like race for your limit. It's kind of like that, you know,
06:25
Bud Light Lime and stuff like that. Like it's all right, but I can't drink. I drink beer all day.
06:32
I can't drink like a lime flavored beer all day. Oh, I could drink a lime. Yeah. All day. Yeah.
06:38
He's got these pickle beers. I know we talked about that and he's one or two. Man, they're so good.
06:44
Donnas, I believe they're called. Yeah. They are out of this world and,
06:49
um, and I'll go, that's the only thing I'd go to, uh, well, not really, but that drives me to the
06:57
lick, to the liquor store, to the total wine. Like I'm not a regular, uh, going to the total wine
07:04
or, or the ABC store, but for that, yes, sir. So I, um, fortunately I have my high rock hand
07:12
deliver, but, uh, yeah, that's right. You didn't have to go anywhere to get that. I don't have to
07:19
have to get something out. That, I know people will be like pickle beer. It's really literally,
07:24
you know how we'll drink, um, pickle backs, pickle juice to kind of like get the new, you know, get
07:31
your, let your lights back. People, people, some people think that helps some people don't. I do.
07:36
I drink it, got salt in it and all the things. If I'm hung over a little swear or two of pickle
07:40
juice. And this is like kind of getting your pickle juice while you're drinking. So it's
07:45
justifies, so it's a good hangover drinks. It literally is like pickle juice and beer.
07:50
And it sounds probably bad, but I'm telling you, if you're, if you're any kind of a pickle person,
07:56
or if you decent, you know, if you're, you know, you'll mind pickles, I would try it. Donus.
08:02
Travis is gonna run out as soon as we're done. I would give it a try. You know what? If it was
08:06
a guy's name, I wouldn't like it as much. I kind of like it. It's Donna. What is that?
08:11
He doesn't want Travis putting his cocktail together because that's a weird thing. He,
08:15
he doesn't like that, but he doesn't, he does like a named cocktail that's named after a woman.
08:22
That doesn't make any sense. It's a beer, but it's Donna's. What if it was Burt's pickle beer?
08:28
I wouldn't like it as much, but I probably still drink it. But I'm like, damn Donna,
08:32
you got something good on here. This is good. Damn Donna, but I wouldn't go to Burt and go,
08:36
hey Burt, bad ass. Don't you have a drink named after you? The Dale. Yeah. Oh yeah. It's delicious.
08:42
It is. It's a very, it'd be better. If it was the Amy, I'd be better. If it was the Amy,
08:47
yeah. I wouldn't mind. I'm not, you know, they, they have to call it the Amy,
08:50
Whammy or something stupid. They insisted in naming it the Dale. Yeah. I always was uncomfortable
08:57
with that. I was in on that name. I think it's great. It's great. It's like walking around with
09:01
your name on your belt. I don't, you know, never was one of those kind of people. I wouldn't even
09:04
have my name on my uniform. Like people put it on their name, their name on their belt of
09:08
their racing uniform. Yeah. Or on the, I don't, I didn't want my name. I didn't even love the,
09:14
the addresses on the back, you know, the at Twitter and the Dale junior.coms and all that.
09:20
I, I didn't like having, I didn't like wearing merch with my name on it anywhere,
09:25
like a hat. So they'd make hats, right? And it'd have a little Dale junior on the side.
09:28
Well, I would get mine without that, but you know, the same hat to think about have that on there.
09:35
But like, I know who I am. I don't need to have my name on my belt with myself.
09:37
It just felt like a look at me kind of thing, you know? It's understandable. Yeah. But yeah.
09:44
Anyhow, we got a lot of things that have happened. Obviously, we haven't done the
09:47
show in too often during the off season. We did a couple, but like I said earlier,
09:52
Amy's been on vacation. Amy went on vacation for a good chunk of time.
09:56
I did. I went on a girl's trip for the first time in a really long time. We went to celebrate
10:01
one of my girlfriend's 50th birthdays. The last time we all went on a girl's group trip was 10
10:06
years ago for her 40th. Wow. So, um, isn't that hard to believe? Well, all of us have little kids
10:12
and like we just went through this period of time. Like we would take small weekend trips here and
10:16
there, but not the entire group. Um, so it was a lot of fun. I have to have a girl's group that's
10:21
like, we ride at dawn if somebody's in trouble. So like we are stuck together like sisters and
10:26
cousins, like good and bad. Just depends on what's going on, but like we are very good girlfriends.
10:32
So very grateful to have my girlfriends, but we had a great trip, went to Turks and Caicos
10:38
and found about 20 conch shells. We were snorkeling every day on a conch hunt.
10:43
What are you, 12th? I'm sorry? You're hunting for conch shells?
10:47
Conch shells. Yeah. They're beautiful. They're big.
10:49
Those big giant conch shells. So like if we go on a trip to the Bahamas or something,
10:52
the girls want us to bring back something, but they don't need any trinkets or anything.
10:58
We don't, I don't like clutter. Like we're trying to get rid of that kind of stuff in the house.
11:00
So we would try to find conch shells or something pretty we could take to the beach house and like
11:05
set in the yard, whatever. That makes sense. And so Christy, one of Dale's cousins and I are
11:10
great friends and she too has two kids that appreciate a conch shell. So we were on a conch hunt
11:16
the entire time we were there and then we went out on a boat twice. The second day we were there,
11:21
we found like the mother load and we're in like two to three feet of water, not that much. So
11:25
but we're snorkeling all over the place and she comes up and at one point she's got three of them
11:29
laid out on her arm. Like she's been doing it her entire life. So we had an entire table full
11:34
of conch shells to bring home. I didn't eat them. We ate one on the boat. He made some ceviche.
11:39
But after the last one I pulled up, he looked at me with his little eyeballs and I was like,
11:43
oh, hey buddy. And I couldn't do it after that. I couldn't order conch at the restaurants, couldn't
11:47
do it after that. He looked like a little cartoon. Like I saw the little antenna eyeballs.
11:52
I've never had conch. Ruin it for me. But it was fun finding them. There's so many. But girl strips
12:00
are going to happen more often. Dad stayed with the girls. I messed up. He had a great time. I messed
12:05
up, did a good job. He did a really good job. We've reached the next level of the game now.
12:10
He's leveled up. He's got more trips. So I'm out. I'm gone. He had the download that week that
12:15
you were gone. And on Tuesday, he's telling us, you got this. This is me and the girls, Amy's
12:19
way. Like this is easy. And then we're like, it's Tuesday morning, Dale. He's already celebrating
12:24
his victory. You're 48 hours in. We were not going to talk about that. He texted me after
12:30
he picked them up from school that day. And he's like, this is great. And I'm having a good time.
12:34
But dad, he's really tired. I think he took an app because he had some assistance. April came in on
12:40
Tuesday afternoon. And I think he actually took an app that afternoon. But yeah, it was, it was
12:45
great. They had a good time. I left and it got freezing. So they had to stay inside. But there
12:50
was a lot of activities happening. And I think they kept them busy. But I also left with Nicole
12:54
in a full on crazy attitude. Like she's been like on one for months. And I come back and it's gone.
13:01
So I don't know what happened. What kind of a magic voodoo happened when I was gone. But the kid is
13:06
she's found her manners again. So that's another reason I feel like I should leave more often.
13:10
Yeah. You know, dad's authority did something great to that child. So
13:17
Now, do you when you go on vacation, are you able to
13:20
separate? Are you like having that like mom guilt you miss him and like wanting to stay in touch?
13:26
I could separate no problem. They want to FaceTime me. So it's like, okay, now's a good time. I haven't
13:32
started into the margaritas yet. You know what I mean? Yeah, don't try to call me at dinner time.
13:37
We've been at it all day. You know, I mean, this is so funny. So when I if I leave, I
13:45
we don't have a conversation about this. So really, none of us, we don't like have a plan.
13:51
There's no rules or whatever. But when I go out of town, I feel this obligation to be like,
13:58
I'm, I'm good. We're, we're fine. We're okay. We're doing this. We're here. We're here. And
14:03
we're planning to do X, Y and Z. And that's it. And Amy doesn't really care. I mean, Amy's not
14:10
caring about this as much as I think. But when Amy goes out of town,
14:16
then she just like, you might hear from her around breakfast or right after breakfast before lunch
14:23
and nothing for the rest of the rest of the day. And you'll get up in the morning and be like,
14:27
Hey, y'all still good? I'll even text the other folks on the trip. Hey, man, y'all all right?
14:33
Amy's not answering her phone. And she'll lose it. Is she alive? Did she throw her back out again?
14:38
I know she okay, especially on this trip because of she left with her back a little. I slept on
14:43
the ice pack the whole night before because it tried to go out on me the night before I was
14:47
leaving. I was like, Oh, no. When that happens, Amy's down flat out on the couch, can't move,
14:54
can't do anything and totally uncomfortable. And I thought that maybe it could have happened. I
15:00
don't know. It just hadn't heard from her for a while. But yeah, she'll she'll go 12, 18 hours.
15:08
If we've talked about this, I'm gonna lose in my phone. Well, that's I tried very hard to make
15:12
sure that I was responsible and I left my phone in my room so that I didn't lose the damn thing.
15:16
That's fine. I wasn't in the oceans. Not as easy as finding in the middle of a casino. You know
15:20
what I'm saying? You can't search for it there. You've taken two trips in 10 years. Like we don't
15:24
have like a we don't have once it gets like understood and comfortable and yep. Amy's
15:30
because my buddies, they got some of their wives and they're better. They're better at
15:36
communication. Wives are on the trip to some of them weren't. Yeah, some of them. They were like,
15:39
Hey, man, y'all heard from the girls. Yeah, it'd be me one day texting the guys y'all heard from
15:43
the girls. Then it'd be the other guy the next day. Have y'all heard from the girls? You know,
15:47
because it'd be a different mom, you know, ghosting us that every other day. I feel like no news is
15:52
good news. There was no effort in ghosting. It was just like, we were in a moment relaxed in the
15:57
water. We were cotton man. We were not worried about our phones. Yeah, if you're not hearing from
16:03
them, that's a good thing. I think so too. And honestly, when I'm not hearing from him, I feel
16:06
the same way. Like if you don't need to check in, if you don't need answers to questions,
16:09
then you're good. But I also left a very detailed to do. Here's everybody's contact
16:15
information. Here's this is that. And the other he addresses like he had no question. He should
16:19
have had no questions, but yeah, we checked in and he had a guy's group, like a support group.
16:25
So some of the other guys on lives are on the trip. Yeah. And so immediately we all got together
16:30
on a group text and we're like, Hey, man, we're up and Adam this morning, kids,
16:35
teeth, the brush, we're going to be out of the house on time. Oh, drop off went good. Y'all
16:41
drop off go good. No, first, the first morning, one of the other ones didn't. Yeah. So like we
16:45
were consistently like walking each other through. So it was a support group. First couple of days.
16:52
Single dads. Oh yeah. We, um, we had a great week and I, that was the first time I'd really
16:57
been left to take care of the kids for sustained period of time. And it was a success. And now
17:02
he's comfortable to go on more trips, which would be fair though.
17:05
What trips for Amy means more trips for me. Cause like it's a one for one. When she goes,
17:11
I go, that's the way it works. It just said it out loud. He sure did. Is that not right?
17:17
I mean, I wouldn't have asked him Travis. I wouldn't have said, I would have been like
17:22
two for Amy, one for me. I was going on my trip. At this point, I've got backlogs to get
17:27
caught up. There's interest. She needs to be paid very retroactively. Right. Amy,
17:33
I had planned a trip to go away when Amy came back, but I left to, I left like in transition.
17:39
Like I left that morning high five. He left before I got home. I was gone before she got
17:43
back to the house. I had a forestry entry with no support. I got home and I was like, dang.
17:49
After all those days of raising hail, I, um, I went to the beach and set at a bar and drank beer
17:56
for a couple of days. He was more hungover after his two day trip than I was after my
17:59
four day trip. That helps around man. I got one fastball. We day drink and we sleep all night.
18:05
It was glorious, but yeah, I drank and then a night drink. Do you have a trip planned already?
18:11
Cause that's what you should do is while you guys still in that high, let's lock this trip
18:15
and now because the girls are going to get busy and forget. So what we decided is we're all going,
18:20
we have, it's all my fantasy footbally girls too. So we're going to meet for our crowning
18:24
brunch on the 31st. And it was supposed to be Sunday, but with the snow and everything,
18:30
we're going to push it back. We were going to do this hat game where everybody puts in
18:34
a destination they want to go to and nothing lame. Like if you put an Asheville, you're,
18:38
you don't get to go on the trip. You know what I mean? Yes. It has to be something cool.
18:42
And then we're going to pull the names out. We're not going here. We're not going here
18:45
until we get to the last one. And that's where we're going to go. And we're going to play in the
18:48
next one. They love that. Cool. I'm just going to take the guys to the beach. We're going to drink.
18:54
And listen to whatever pop punk Dale puts on the radio. I can't control the radio at the
18:59
bars down there. And whatever else Amy puts on the touch jins. But I like the day drink and
19:04
then try the night drink. And then I door dash breakfast. So whoever's awake first gets the
19:11
breakfast off the porch. Amy door dashed us breakfast. If I didn't, they wouldn't have any
19:14
food. He wouldn't let me deliver groceries. Like when he first got there, I was like,
19:18
please make sure there's at least water, some sodas, whatever to drink essentials. And so they
19:23
had those things and TP and they were pickle beer. Pickle beer. And so I was door dashing
19:29
breakfast every morning. Yeah. Yeah. Well, um, we are expecting a big storm. And so have y'all
19:40
y'all be obviously, I mean, you can't not follow what's been going on over the last three or four
19:44
days. They were predicting this insane, you know, foot of snow, six inches of snow in Charlotte,
19:51
getting everybody all riled up. I fell for it. And I feel like it's still a good, a good thing
19:57
to get riled up over woke up the next woke up a day later. And they're like, well, it's moved.
20:02
The target for the snow has moved north a thousand miles, which is not good for us. Cause now we're
20:08
in this situation where we're going to get a ton of ice and that tears up the trees and the power
20:13
lines and all that stuff. And so we're not sure what we're going to experience over the next
20:17
couple of days, but I'm still hoping for snow. I just want to go outside and play. I think everybody
20:21
prefer snow over the ice. Have you done any extra shopping, Amy? I've been going to do
20:27
extra shopping every single day, picking up snacks as I'm picking up the snacks. They're
20:31
eating them. So like by the time we actually get to the snowstorm, the snacks are going to be
20:34
dwindled. We're fine down. We are fine. So two things. Um, if you have like an outdoor plumbing
20:43
of like a sink or anything, anything that's outside the walls, your house, get you one of
20:48
them light clamps and he liked heat clamp lights and plug that dude in. I got, I did that this
20:55
morning. We got a little sink outside and I put a little light down there. Yeah. Yeah.
21:02
Downstairs in the kitchen, a pool kitchen. There's a sink. And so you put a little clamp and a heat
21:08
lamp and it's on a temperature sensor. So when it gets to a certain degrees, it turns the light
21:13
on. So it ain't on all the time, which is fine if you want to leave it on all the time. But
21:18
the other thing too is drip your faucets. So like get a faucet. Oh, get it dripping and just leave
21:25
it. Go into your house anywhere and turn on the faucet that you don't use because you'll turn,
21:31
you know, if you use it, you're going to turn it off. You'll use it, wash your hands, whatever
21:34
you're doing, then turn it off or get to leave it to drip. Go find a faucet or a, or something that
21:40
you're not going to use and turn it to a very, very slight drip and leave it. And I like to put
21:47
some paper towels down in the bottom because it splashes water everywhere, you know, after it drips
21:51
for a while, it just sprinkles water all over the top of the sink. And so the napkin is a PBS special.
21:56
I'm just helping people out there. We need to be helpful. They turn, they tune in to laugh,
22:01
but they also need some assistance and some good stuff up on snacks, booze, candles,
22:08
fire clickers, drip wipes. I'm worried about not being able to flush the toilets. The power
22:13
goes out. We get one flush and we don't have a generator plug at our house. We don't. We can't
22:18
generate our house. Nothing, but we, nothing will work. I have a generator. It'll run the camper.
22:25
So we got our camper from camping world. And that's like a last resort. So if we need to
22:32
get a cooler and save some of our groceries, we'll run them down to the camper and
22:36
I mean, we just set the groceries on the porch. Yeah. So you don't need, yeah,
22:40
whatever. I'm just great idea. My point is we're not going to be in trouble.
22:46
We've set grandpa off. I'm just saying, I got it. We can do for food.
22:51
We have frozen steaks and ground beef. We have a gas stove. So even if it doesn't ignite,
22:57
we can have the clicker. We can just turn the gas on. And I've got a generator that'll run any,
23:01
we got appliances and electrical cookers and grills and all that stuff downstairs.
23:06
We got a little, that little cheap flat iron grill. We got a little cheap flat iron electric
23:12
grill. We'll just heat off of that. It's fine. I'm, I'd be, I'd appreciate the challenge.
23:19
You know, it doesn't make sense. The people that stock up on toilet paper.
23:23
Exactly. Bread, milk and toilet paper. Where are you going to put all that?
23:27
Well, let me ask you a question. Are you going to more? No, no, no. Let me ask you a question.
23:32
So, I guess they were, they're not going to have it be able to get out for rights.
23:35
That's the thing. So I, I weren't, I wondered about that too. Cause during COVID that was,
23:40
that was toilet paper was the thing before COVID when we'd have storms or anything like that was
23:45
always milk and bread, you know, milk and bread, milk and bread. And then all of a sudden COVID came
23:49
and it was like toilet paper, toilet paper, toilet paper, like all of a sudden toilet paper shot
23:54
to the top and a big giant thing of toilet paper right now is like almost $30. But like,
24:01
to your point, like why? I think people truly believe that they might be in such a situation
24:06
to where they cannot go get toilet paper. And that would be the worst thing that could happen
24:12
is running out of toilet paper. That's, I'm assuming that's what's in their mind.
24:18
Like running out of toilet paper would be pretty tragic.
24:21
None of us have experienced it. I mean, we have in some small scenarios where you're in the bathroom
24:27
and you're like, somebody use the last. The cabinet's too far away. I've done my duty here.
24:33
Somebody has, I didn't even look and the rolls empty. You gotta do the waddle over.
24:37
Yeah. Now we're wobbling.
24:41
And I'll tell you who, if we have an empty roll on the toilet paper roll, it's, it's Nicole.
24:48
100%. 100% Nicole. Yeah. She'll throw the roll in the trash can though. She does,
24:53
she does do that, but she doesn't, she can't open the cabinet. It's hard. It like folds down.
24:58
And there's, well, I go into something. I've got that one bathroom over in the computer room.
25:02
I'll go in there and the toilet paper will be rolled off into the floor.
25:06
Isla does that too. I'm like, y'all, they just play with it like cats, you know.
25:11
They sit there and just watch it do whatever it does. That gets funny. Do you have any
25:14
storm essentials? Well, I'm in an apartment. So it's like, got all them people to support you.
25:20
No, but I don't have, I haven't got all the people around you to save your ass when something,
25:23
when you're, when you're, when you're low on toilet paper. It's like you go to one person's
25:26
house and use it up and then you go to the next person and everybody's together. I might just
25:29
go stay at a friend's this weekend. Like I don't like, or I might just hanging out.
25:34
If I knew that power is not going to go out, I'm good, but the second power goes out when
25:37
you're living alone during go nuts. Plus you don't have any wifi too. And
25:41
our wheel of the phones don't work that well. So now I'm just sitting there.
25:45
Well, we've got a wifi. We've got the internet. We got the Elon internet. So
25:50
I'll just fire that thing up. I forget about that thing too. Cause it's on the camper.
25:53
But yeah, I haven't bought anything yet, but I mean, you don't, there's not,
25:57
you don't need a ton of food and then beer and you're good. It should be fine.
26:03
It's good. It's good. The only thing I'm curious about is I've got work to do Monday
26:07
and next weekend is it going to be icy and not going to be able to,
26:11
we're going to have to, you know, cancel some responsibilities.
26:14
Yeah, I'm pretty sure you're going to, you need to look into that. The girl,
26:17
the kids aren't going to have school. If it rains too hard, they cancel school.
26:21
But I, I feel like it's, I don't know. I always feel like when they people freak out,
26:25
you don't get really what it's just supposed to get.
26:27
The buildup is just not that big of a deal. Yeah. It's usually what it works.
26:33
I have a funny story about Nicole since we're talking about family stuff and kids.
26:38
It was before I left for my trip. I picked her up from school
26:42
and you know how kids are like, you can't just say how was your day and then they'll
26:45
just tell you how their day was. You have to ask them like in a riddle style questions.
26:49
Like, do you think fun happened today? Do you think funny happened today?
26:52
Anybody get in trouble in class today? So I was like, Hey, Nicole, how, you know,
26:56
how was school? Did you have a good day? Was, was it a fun day at school? And she's like,
27:01
no, but something bad happened. I'm like, she's in preschool. What kind of bad could
27:05
happen at preschool? But there's nothing but chicks in her class. See, there's no boys.
27:10
But my mom flag goes up and like, something bad happened. Are you okay? Did everything,
27:14
are you like, what happened? That's bad. And she's like, I don't want to talk about it.
27:17
And I was like, Oh Lord. And at this point, she's just behind me in the car. So I tilt my
27:20
mirror down so I could see her face. And I'm like, what do you mean something bad happened?
27:25
Is it something I should call your teacher about? And she goes, no, like what a preposterous thing
27:29
that you would want to do that. And I'm like, well, then what happened? She goes, kindness, mom,
27:36
everybody was so kind today. And I was bored. I'm like, Oh my God. That's what she's bothered by
27:46
is it's, you know, just everybody being nice at school like they're supposed to.
27:51
So that's, that's what I left in a nutshell. I was picking her up from school when Amy was
27:55
going on her trip. And which I don't ever pick her up. Amy picks Amy does Nicole's school pickups
28:01
and drop offs. I do I was so I don't really ever get to really go get Nicole. So I'm standing by
28:06
the door. The teacher sees me goes inside gets her brings her to the doorway. And there's a
28:16
in the hall. And this little girl looked at Nicole and said, bye, Nicole. And Nicole goes,
28:24
bye, because Nicole was in a great mood because I was picking her up daddy, daddy, daddy.
28:28
And that girl looked at her mom goes, mom, Nicole was nice to me said it just like that.
28:35
I mean, is she the class bully? I've heard nothing bad from the teachers. I'm a little concerned.
28:39
I was like, color, you not always nice. Like a big surprise when you're nice.
28:46
I know, but we're not getting notes or calls or communication from her teachers that, you know,
28:52
she's anything but a normal he's a going student. I feel like they're all scrappy or something's
28:58
going on in that class. If the teacher isn't saying something to you, then I don't think
29:03
I think you're nothing to worry about overthinking. Maybe she's just more matter of fact and some
29:07
kids are just yeah, maybe it's a mystery. Yeah, I think you're good. Yeah. Yeah. I'm not worried
29:14
about it. I'm not calling the teacher to find out. I'm not worried. No, no, no, you never call.
29:19
Yeah. Yeah. It's alarming. It's a little alarming when you have kids like you are
29:23
oversensitive to all those things. Like, Oh my God, am I raising a good person? It's always at
29:27
the top of mind. Yeah. And in those moments, you're like, Oh God, where do we go? Where do we go
29:32
wrong? That's the thing with Isla. You know, she turned out she's turned out awesome. And with
29:37
Nicole, I don't think we did anything wrong. It's just who she is. She is like
29:44
full full throttle. Full. She's got her own personality and
29:50
like we didn't like whatever's different in there is nothing we did.
29:57
It just came. It came like that. She came like that.
30:03
That's what stock coal is. Hey, man, did you do those modifications to that truck?
30:08
No, I bought it like this. Yeah. It came like that. Yep.
30:13
That flare was in there already. That's how it came. Yeah. So I love IT.
30:20
I do. And when I get a little free time at home, a lot of times I tend to pick up a
30:26
project that's electrical in nature or you'll find something that you can take apart and put
30:32
back together. So the room where the server is though is poured concrete. It's like almost
30:35
like a safe room. So there's no service down there. Even if he takes his phone for whatever
30:39
he's doing, there's no getting ahold of Ralph if he's downstairs messing with the computers.
30:44
But I took all I bought new towers that are four foot tall because all of the year over the years
30:53
over through burning up, getting hit by lightning, getting rid of stuff that I don't need anymore.
30:59
You know, you know, DVD players and stuff like that. Yeah. And so I tore, I tore all of the
31:05
components out of the tower and then reinstalled what I wanted in a short tower. And I did that
31:10
I've got towers on every floor. And I did this to two towers. And boy, that's like a two day
31:17
process. That's like a two day job. But it's so much fun. Like if I didn't make it in racing,
31:24
I'd probably be in IT. I'll take your word for it. That sounds boring. I freaking love it.
31:30
He starts talking about it. I'm like, I know it just happened with our listeners. Yeah.
31:37
We lost everybody. I'll take the light switches. I'll take the light switches apart and fix them.
31:42
Everybody right now is filling up the toilet paper on the handles or whatever you call it.
31:49
Check in their toilet. Everybody check in their toilet paper. Check in the water.
31:52
Making sure they're dripping faucets. Hey, if that's a hobby for you, it's a hobby for you.
31:56
It's a hobby for me. Yeah. Yeah. You can come home and there will be wire strong all the way
32:01
through the house. He's re literally rewiring things like, God dude, I know you can fix this,
32:07
but why? I mean, I kind of wish I had those. I just don't have the skills and don't care.
32:12
I can't stand something being in it. I can't stand a component like being in one of those
32:16
towers that's not being used or not plugged in or, you know, and the extra wires that go to it,
32:22
they can all go away. Everything get cleaner, simpler. I get,
32:27
um, he gets twitchy. OCD. Yeah. He gets twitchy. He opens the closet and he's like, uh,
32:32
what do you call that? Got to fix that. Yeah. Like I got to fix it. It's driving me crazy. Yeah.
32:38
Yeah. Just wanted to share that.
32:42
Thanks for that story, Ralph. That's what I'm doing these days.
32:49
I just wanted to say that I was late today. We were going to do this show
32:53
earlier an hour earlier, but I had a crown come off last night while I was eating dinner and I
32:56
went to the dentist this morning. I might, we talked about this on our Dale Jr. download,
33:02
how great my dentist is texting, right? When it happened, he said, come in eight o'clock in the
33:07
morning. I was there. Amy had to take both kids at school this morning and a glued crown right
33:12
back in. No problem. I've got a temporary, uh, next Wednesday, I get the permanent one put in
33:16
on this crown was done six years ago. And I was like, I was like, is it unusual for them to come
33:22
out? And she's like, Oh yeah. She's like around five, six years. The glue starts to get, well,
33:26
he's eating his dinner and he choose stuff very hard. Like you can hear him chewing from across
33:30
the room. And I am sensitive to that. I'm like one of those people, but I look over, I'm like,
33:36
he's in the middle of eating and he's not stopped eating. He's going to finish eating his dinner.
33:40
It's not like it alarmed him enough where he stopped eating. It popped out and he put it on
33:44
the table and it kept eating his dinner. Did it? Your mouth hurt? No. Well, I asked him,
33:50
my tooth is fine. He's like, how much candy have I been eating? What does that have to do with
33:56
anything? Like, because you used to tell me if I eat certain types of candy, it'll pull my crowns
34:01
off my teeth. And so, you know, considering how much time he's been suspended downstairs on this
34:06
IT work, I thought maybe he's been munching on fireballs or who knows what else down there.
34:10
It was nerds, nerd ropes. So we did get, so when I was with the boys, uh, Friday night,
34:19
we were sitting at Pose drinking beer at the bar and one of the boys ran down to the gas station
34:25
to get some scratch offs. And I did get him to get some nerds clusters. So we did have
34:30
a few nerds clusters about 10 o'clock at night. I have some of my bag. Yeah. I had some, I have
34:36
some at the house and I threw them away this morning. It's for the best. It is for the best.
34:41
But a lot of people will be, um, so I, I am very adamant with our girls about brushing their
34:50
teeth. And so I, I didn't do as good a job over the years when I was younger about taking,
34:57
taking better care of my teeth. And so I have a few crowns and, um, dad had a ton of crowns.
35:06
That's what you told me. Yeah. When I told Dale, I cracked my tooth on New
35:10
Year's Day and he goes, well, don't worry. Dale Earnhardt had 11 crowns. So you're,
35:13
you can still be great. Yeah. You can still achieve greatness.
35:16
You can still achieve greatness cause they learn how to have 11 crowns, 11.
35:22
That's hilarious. Yeah. It's the flossing that I forget to do sometimes. And I think that's
35:26
actually where you have the bigger issues. It's not the brush of the teeth.
35:29
It's great. It's an internal thing. No, no, no. I gotta, I gotta fix for the flossing.
35:34
Like me too, I've too struggled with being a flosser, regular flosser. And so I, um,
35:41
I get cleanings every four months instead of six. And so because as I've gotten older,
35:46
I've realized I need to do a better job. And so I go to the dentist more often,
35:50
but, and they'll always ask you, you're a floss. I'm like, no, but, um,
35:57
but I did eat some beef jerky today. That's it. If you are a regular customer of jerky boys,
36:02
beef jerky, I promise you, when you go to the dentist the next time you're cleaning,
36:06
you will proudly tell them, I am a regular flosser.
36:14
Buy this beef jerky and get a good.
36:16
Not only are you eating something very delicious and good for you, lean, low on calories,
36:25
but you're also now a regular flosser. Exactly what your dentist wants you to be.
36:31
That's hilarious. Gums will be healthier and happier.
36:35
Just saying. That's what's happened to me. That's what's happened to me. So
36:40
he's going to tell the girls this and now they're going to be asking for beef jerky now.
36:43
Oh, he pushes it off. Yeah, dude. I'm like, y'all.
36:45
He brings that back to the couch. He's like, he's, he stands in front of everybody passing
36:48
it out like, like grandma. I'm like, they're always like, we won't always want snacks.
36:54
Yeah. We sit down, we sat down the other night to eat dinner and Nicole had some rice
37:00
and earno some mac and cheese and chicken. I cut up for her and she's like, awesome.
37:06
She's eating a little bit and then she stops and she's like, I'm done. I was like,
37:10
eat one more piece of chicken. She's like, I don't want it because it has that.
37:13
And she points to a little charred mark. She doesn't like grill marks or anything.
37:17
She didn't know what that is and don't want it on there. So I cut the char mark off and here. Okay.
37:22
And so I throw it away and she goes and sits on the couch and goes, I want some pretzels.
37:30
I'm like, no, she's like, I want a snack. I'm like, we just, we're eating dinner and you just
37:35
said you were done and they made me throw it away. And now, no, no, you're not doing it.
37:41
Like, you don't, they can't, they can't like yet. She's just at that age group where snacks are
37:45
life. Yeah, it's just what it is. Every, every five minutes that kid wants a snack and you,
37:52
you gotta, you gotta be watching cause she goes to the cupboard. She'll be in there.
37:58
She'll monkey climb all the way up to the top and get whatever you can't hide anything from her.
38:01
I've said this before, she's like living with a raccoon. She's quiet and able and she will get
38:04
into anything and she'll leave a trail of things like she'll close the door to the pantry and
38:08
sit in there and eat the snacks and then put the snack packages back into the snack box,
38:12
walked in there the other day to organize all the gummy snacks and those fruit strips that I buy.
38:16
Half the damn box was empty, empty wrappers. She just gets one and slips it right back in there.
38:21
Yeah. You need to put a lock on the door, a little keypad. I can't do that. That would be too much.
38:27
That'd be too, we would forget the code. That's like, that's what they did to me.
38:32
I stole that money from daddy's change jar and they put locks on every door and scarring.
38:38
He's still traumatized from it. Maybe feel like an outcast. Oh my gosh.
38:43
You didn't do it again though. Yeah. Did we tell that story?
38:46
Where I stole all the money out of the dad's change jar to buy the Game Boy and he's like,
38:49
how'd you get that? I'm over there playing it on the couch and he's like, yes, we have.
38:52
He's nonchalantly just playing this new game system that he never crossed my mind that they would go.
38:58
How'd you get the money to buy that? Yeah, where is that? It's 80 bucks. Where'd you get that?
39:03
But that's what happened. Yeah. I'm over there. I'm over there like, hell yeah.
39:08
And the local pawn shop and the pawn guy called his dad and was like, hey man,
39:11
I got one of your business cards. I wonder where Nicole gets this from.
39:14
Right? She looks like me and acts like him. Really. We're in trouble.
39:19
She's like this mighty little force. Yeah.
39:23
She did it. Her getting the gummy bear packages and putting them back in the box is absolutely me.
39:29
She'd lie straight to your face if you ask her who did it.
39:33
Yeah. Yeah. That's full circle. I love when they eat the jerky because I just feel like
39:42
that when they're wanting snacks, it's typically gummy bears. Yeah, sugar. It's all sugar. Cinnamon,
39:47
sugar pretzels, all sugar. What's the chocolate? Nutella. Nutella? Where the hell that come?
39:55
I've never had Nutella in my life. I've never had a Nutella until like
40:00
probably about five, six, 10 years ago, Steve LaTart's eating it. And I'm like, what is that?
40:05
Where'd this come from? He eats Nutella and marshmallow fluff sandwiches, which
40:09
where did this come from? They make these little snack packs with Nutella on one side,
40:14
Nutella rags on the other side. Decades ago? Yes, it was. Was? Yeah. Well, I wasn't into
40:19
the thing. I don't know. No one ever talked about it. Well, it was European. It's a European
40:22
based company. So maybe it wasn't like such a thing here. I've always wondered like
40:26
brioche buns, were they a thing when I was younger and my family just couldn't afford it or
40:30
didn't want it? Or like, when did brioche buns become the rage? They're everywhere now.
40:35
I don't know. Like bakery bread is far more popular. Like you got wonder bread. You got whatever
40:40
loaf was around. I like the old school wonder bread. Just the color of the package gives me a
40:46
good nostalgia. Yeah, even though it could be, I don't care what it tastes like.
40:53
Hey guys, Dale, Junior and I are back in the Dirty Mo Media studio for our very first episode
40:58
of bless your heart for our second season. And we're ready for your questions. What you got?
41:03
The first question comes from Jamie and she wants to know where do you guys keep your phone
41:08
when it's on your person? Like in your pockets? When you keep your phone on your person? Yeah,
41:17
24 seven, which is why I lose it so much. But yes, like I don't, unless I have my purse on me,
41:21
I'm not going to have it put away. You don't put it in your pocket, your hoodie pocket, nothing.
41:27
Every once in a while, but I feel like it's dragged me down. It's uncomfortable.
41:32
Dale always walks around with his in his back pocket and he hates it. I do hate it because
41:36
it wears his one pocket out and he looks like he's got saggy bottom. I got one pocket when I
41:42
take the phone out after a few, you know, after a while, I got one baggy pocket, one really worn
41:50
out pocket worn out. It's like a stretched pocket and one regular pocket. Aren't you afraid though
41:56
that also like it's going to fall out or someone could take it back there. So I don't know what's
42:01
happening. That's what I'm saying. I'm not worried because I can't see it happening. He only does
42:06
it in the house out of mind. If he's out running around, I don't feel like you put that in your
42:10
back pocket. I wear my pair. I wear, this is a brand new pair of pants. I pulled the tags off
42:14
this morning. I wear these for three days. Yeah. I don't think anything wrong with that. So I put
42:21
my phone in my back pocket and on day two, three, it's kind of a little bigger than the other pocket.
42:24
The right one's a little off-sided. And she also says it makes my ass look bigger or something.
42:29
Like weird. No, it looks like pancake. You have a bubble butt. Like it makes it look different.
42:34
I'm like, what is going on over there? Quit that. Do you ever put it in a front pocket when you're
42:38
traveling? I don't want to put it in my front pocket because I don't want it close to the jewels.
42:48
The proximity to the jewels is so much different if it's in your back pocket.
42:53
Look, I don't know what's going on with this thing and what it might be doing. They say you're
42:57
not supposed to sleep close to a charging phone and your mother had that issue. She had a,
43:03
she carried her fold flip phone in her bra and then she was a teacher and like,
43:10
so she just stick it in her shirt and she ended up with breast cancer and she's,
43:13
she's pretty sure that that's what caused the tumor right there because it's close
43:16
where she just keeps it. So you don't know, but I'm like, you know, I'd rather have to
43:20
try whatever it's doing to me. I'd rather have to travel through the fat of my ass and lay it right
43:25
up next to the jewels. You know what I'm saying? Yes. Yes, Elvis. We know what you're saying.
43:32
I'm thinking my ass is giving me a little saving my ass is saving me. We're going to keep that ass
43:37
fat and we're going to keep the jewels safe. That's what we're going to work on. I mean,
43:43
that's only my brain work. They didn't say like, don't put a laptop on my science.
43:48
He doesn't. He does not carry a laptop and put it on his lap. Yeah. Like they're saying,
43:52
like if you're using a laptop, it shouldn't be on your lap. Right. Because of the jewels. Yeah,
43:56
the jewels. I'll lay in bed. If your jewels are as precious as Dale's, you'd better not put it on your
44:02
lap. Yeah. He's red. We did it. We turned it red. Yeah. If you're laying in the bed,
44:10
I'll lay in the bed and do an iPad and I get, you know, I'm like,
44:15
really laying that across your chest, you know, I don't know. We don't know why all these tablets
44:23
and all this stuff is like, and this is like the radiation from two decades of technology here
44:30
that we don't have real information on on what it's truly doing around us. I don't know. I'm not.
44:36
I'm not a conspiracy theorist on that kind of stuff, but I don't want if I'm if I'm
44:42
unknowingly like doing some damage to myself, I don't want to learn that down the road. So I'd
44:47
rather in my scientific mind, I'm putting it in my back pocket. That's safer than carrying it in my
44:53
front. It Bill Nye over here says, I'll sleep next to it with the next in my head, but I ain't
44:57
going to put it in my front pocket. Yeah. Where do you sleep with? I don't sleep. I don't plug it in
45:01
around, but it don't matter. Yeah. It's a phone. I had board. But yeah, look, I'm not, I agree that
45:09
there's holes and so that explains why there's issues up here. There's a lot of holes and flaws
45:15
in my, um, in the way my, my, my mind works. But I say this too, like I don't carry it around
45:22
in my pocket as much anymore, like intentionally, like I like, like right now, like I don't want
45:29
it in my front pocket when I can set it over here, right? That makes sense. And it's uncomfortable.
45:34
They're too freaking big. Like we had, we had to keep making them bigger and bigger and bigger.
45:37
And of course I'm going to get the bigger one because it gets, you know, the new ones bigger,
45:42
got it. Well, they make them a little bigger, like a little bit bigger and I'm going to go buy it.
45:46
I wish they'd have never done that because they used to be playing into your masculinity.
45:50
But I know, and they used to, well, I had the small phone, the small version of the new phone,
45:55
and I've got all my old ones. I got my threes, my S threes. Well, I got every iPhone that we've
46:01
ever bought. I still have it. And the original ones were so small and easy. Like a toy. Convenient.
46:09
I'm walking into the stadium at Kansas City for a Chiefs game, Thursday night game,
46:18
or maybe it's a Monday night game. Either way, I'm doing this for NBC, me, LaTarte, all of us,
46:25
Jeff Burton and Rick Allen. And we're, we're going in there with NBC to do like a little
46:30
pregame sideline deal. And we're with one of our big NBC bosses. He's the head guy of our sports.
46:37
He's got his big max iPhone out and I've got my little one out. And he goes, he goes,
46:44
man, you know, in the line of work you're in, you ought to have the big phone. Everything on,
46:49
you know, everything's video. Big dog. Damn. It made him feel silly with his little
46:52
things. Mine's bigger. He goes into a lot of work with video and we're, you know,
46:56
broadcasting everything. Yeah, we're going to, we're going to watch a lot of stuff on this thing.
47:00
You ought to have the bigger screen. I was like, I, I, I captain, you got it.
47:05
And now, you know, you barely can carry it on you. You barely can carry it.
47:10
You almost need a purse. I mean, you almost need a purse. You almost need a dolly, maybe behind
47:17
you, carry it. You could put a little trailer hitch on your belt. This is getting out of control.
47:23
Okay. Sorry. It is. Do we have another question? We even have people watching this.
47:28
Next question is, if you could choose one of the girls movies to never see again,
47:33
what movie would that be? I ain't saying I had one little comment about Bluey and,
47:40
and got drug on the, on all, all the Bluey fans out there because I want a little comment critique,
47:46
but uh, really? Yeah, I don't want to even relive this. So
47:51
Bluey's great. Love Bluey. Oh lord. What have we been watching so much lately? They've been watching
47:57
this emoji movie the last couple of days and I had never sat through that one and it's kind of weird.
48:01
Not terrible. It's not bad. They got a new one with the Fox. What's the, the, the, they're on the
48:06
heist. I don't know. Um, you know, they're going, they're, they've been watching it over and over.
48:12
The zoo, the zoo movie. There's a new one in the theater right now. Right. They've been watching
48:16
that one. That's pretty decent. They're not hammering down and watching anything as religiously
48:20
as they were. So it's been easier. Like bouncing around, watching different movies and different
48:24
things. So nothing too bad. That's good. Honestly, we're, it's actually, we're in a good phase right
48:29
now. I will say probably making a mistake here. We watched a lot of cocoa melon, right? When we
48:37
were younger and uh, when the kids were younger, we had, we were in this phase of cocoa melon,
48:43
right? And I thought that we would move down from cocoa melon because they sort of, you know,
48:47
they sort of graduate to different things, but Nicole still loves cocoa.
48:50
They just loaded it on the Netflix. So she's found it on there and wants to watch it.
48:54
And it's like nursery rhymes and very baby oriented. So it's a little triggering.
48:58
It is a little trigger. That is a little bit. I don't let them watch the Barbie stuff on Netflix
49:01
either. Cause sorry Barbie, but the, the shows are catty. Yeah. They're like mean girl kind of
49:07
stuff. And I don't want the girls talking like that. Yeah. You don't want to learn those things.
49:10
Yeah. We're already combating enough with Nicole. Like we don't really need Barbie
49:13
giving her extra ammo, you know? Yeah. There is some truth to the girls will hear things.
49:21
They hear, you know, the girls will repeat things that they hear in shows. And so,
49:26
and they'll tell us too where they heard it. They'll say something to their sister about being
49:30
stupid or, or I'm not going to be your friend anymore. And they're just bro playing or having fun.
49:36
And, but they'll say it and we'll be like, where'd you hear that?
49:39
Yeah. We don't say that to you. Where'd you hear that? Yeah. And they'll tell you the show.
49:42
They'll be like, Oh, it's in this show. Block. Yeah. No more of that.
49:48
All right. Next question is rank the top nights of a four night trip in order of best to worst
49:53
in the night before the trip counts. So you have five selections. So like five selections,
49:59
the night before plus night one, two, three and four. Rank the what? You have a four night trip.
50:03
Yep. You rank your nights in order of best to worst. The first night before counts.
50:09
I think we'd both agree that the night before the trip is going to be in the back. Yeah,
50:15
least favorite. It's a little stressful packing and all the things getting organized.
50:19
And you're, you're like, relaxation doesn't actually start yet. Oh, see, I'm amped up.
50:24
Yeah. When you're, when you're single, when you don't have kids and you're like,
50:27
get to anticipate, your girl anticipation is more exciting. It's a piece of cake for me.
50:32
Okay. I'm going to take the days of the trip and they are, if there are how many, five,
50:38
five, four, four, four nights and you got to put them in order, right? Four nights,
50:43
including the night before, which is five. Yep. Right.
50:48
Night one on the trip is all, is going to be the blowout. You can't help it. You get there.
50:52
You're excited. We tried over and over and over on trips, especially going down to Key West.
50:57
Let's not go as hard on night one, but you can't help it. So the first night is number one,
51:02
followed by the second night, followed by the third night. The last night of the trip is the
51:08
worst of all five. Is it worse than the worst than the night before the trip? The last night on
51:15
the trip is sucky because, and I just experienced this with my friend, Sean. It was Friday. It was
51:26
and Saturday we had one more night and we're going to get up and drive home. And I tried so hard to
51:32
get him to drink a few beers and he was like, nope, I'm tired. I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm good. And I'm like,
51:39
man, this is just, let's just have a few more. It's, you know, we, we still got tonight and we
51:43
still, we're going to give them more. We'll be fine. And, uh, so, and, and then sometimes I'm in
51:49
that mood. Sometimes I'm like, man, I don't want to go home tomorrow, but I am and I'm mad about
51:53
that. And we used to go down to Key West and I can't, I can't get up. Last day of Vacation
51:57
Dale was an actual thing. He'd start closing up the shutters on the house and we had all day
52:01
to like play in the pool. We're like, dude, we're not leaving till tomorrow. We don't have to do
52:05
this. I'm starting to button up the house and he was like 24 hours early, silent, not talking to
52:09
anybody, just howling. I'm mad because we're going to go back to the great reality. I don't want to
52:15
leave. And I don't, I don't, I can't party tonight because I know what's tomorrow. I know what tomorrow
52:23
brings, right? And I'm mad about that. I don't know if I'm that way as much. No, we don't, we don't do
52:29
that anymore. We don't fight anymore. See, I put like, I am so excited the night before the trip.
52:34
Like I, I halfway ruined the first day because I didn't sleep as well. It's like, you know,
52:40
it's like Christmas, you know, waiting on Christmas at Christmas Eve.
52:44
For me, day two is the best day because I finally relaxed. Like first day on vacation
52:50
is like three or four for me. Like I'm, I'm excited. I'm there, but like I'm not fully relaxed yet.
52:57
I don't feel like I go as hard that day as like day two and three. Like those are my fun days.
53:02
And then day four, I'm just like, I'm not pouting, but I'm not as excited, but the day before is
53:08
like my least favorite day just cause I'm on and make sure I've got everything in order.
53:12
And like, it's more stressful than anything else. Yeah, day two.
53:17
This is making me want to go on a trip. Where are we going to go?
53:20
We got a trip plan coming up. Yeah, we're going skiing for spring break.
53:24
Oh, we got another one too. I mean, you were going to go skiing for spring break.
53:27
Yes, we're going skiing for spring break with my sister backwards. Like you go skiing on a
53:33
spring break. I know. So we've, we do a lot of beach trips and we want to teach the kids how to
53:38
ski. Okay. And like, I feel like it's a good time to go. My sister, Katie, those in Texas,
53:44
their kids are in, uh, are on spring break the same week, which is not normal for us. So like,
53:49
we're going to meet out there and, and the kids will all get to do it together. So,
53:52
and I guess how often do your kids get to play in snow? Right. I'm not excited.
53:59
I was going to operate and we're going to ski.
54:03
I don't feel the urge to go. I learned how to ski. I did it.
54:07
It's about the children. I know. Well, that's hopefully sees privately. That was kind of my
54:13
hope is that I would just hang with the kids. I will go through the skiing school and all the
54:17
things that I'll get my skis on. I'll go out on the slopes and do it with them.
54:22
But like, I do not have the urge to get up there and go down a green or anything like
54:26
that by myself. I did learn how to ski. I loved it. It was fun. I went over to
54:33
South Korea and skied with Mike. Incredible. But we should just do it with me this time
54:39
because the last time we went skiing, the last two times I was pregnant and we didn't get to
54:42
go down with you. It should be fun. There's tubing and all kinds of fun stuff. That's
54:45
probably what's going to happen. It's going to be real chill. I've never gone skiing.
54:49
I'm there. Like I'm too old. You can't be just
54:53
my dad's going. Is he going? Yeah. Oh, cool. Well, now I feel better about it. Yeah,
54:58
he's good. I didn't know he was going. Yeah, he's thought it was just the Fentons and yeah,
55:03
and dad and dad. Okay. Perfect. Her dad's awesome. If he can do it, I can do it. Yes.
55:09
But I would, I don't mind. I don't mind skiing, I guess. I don't know. It wasn't his choice. He
55:15
got told this is what was happening. So that's really where we are. Where are you going?
55:19
To Winter Park, Colorado. Okay. See, that's everything. It's like you're going to a place that's
55:23
like chill. It's not going to be like freezing cold when you're out there. Well, we weren't going to
55:28
go skiing in the Bahamas. No, but like if you go to like upstate New York or something, like
55:33
there's some areas where it's going to be colder where like if you go west, the snow is better
55:36
and it's not as cold. It's going to be great. There's, it's going to be fluffy snow. There's
55:45
going to be great. I think you're going to have fun. It'll be fine. I just,
55:50
I'm curious as to how getting them all ready and together and everybody
55:55
heading in the right direction is going to go. It's going to be mad chaos because like Nicole
55:58
and Isla have no idea what they're in for and the, the boots and the, all the stuff and they're,
56:05
they're going to get mad and no, you can see Nicole. Yeah. Come on. We're going to walk over
56:11
here. No. Well, she doesn't like being uncomfortable. She doesn't like being outside much. They're
56:17
going to like, they're going to go like two foot down the slope, the little bunny slope. They're
56:20
going to go like two foot and be like, they're going to be fine. And we signed him up for ski
56:25
lessons. They're going to be with an instructor with their cousins tubing. They're going to be fine.
56:29
We'll see. Go tubing. That'd be fun. Yeah. Don't bring your anxiety to the trip. Dale,
56:35
that has to stay at home.
56:39
What's all we got? Any more questions? Okay.
56:41
