The following is a production of Dirty Mo Media.
Oh yeah, this is what 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-crackers?
I'm working.
Working that mouth.
Welcome, everybody, to another episode of Bless Your Heart.
My husband, Dale, Junior, and I
are in the Dirty Mo Media studios.
I know, it feels weird to say it out loud.
I like it.
If you're weird to say it out loud, I'm not like you.
My husband, I feel like as a Southern woman, too.
You'll never say it in my presence.
You have to say husband.
Like, it's not just my husband.
You don't ever say it in my presence.
I don't.
Why would I?
Well, you know, to introduce yourself.
I'm not generally introducing you to anybody.
This is my wife, Amy.
Yeah, because you're Dale, and I don't have
to introduce you to anybody.
Does that make sense?
Yeah, so this is my husband, Dale Junior.
She wants me to not be treated differently.
Welcome, Dale Junior.
She wants me to be treated normally.
I just, I look at you like a normal person,
but you're not.
So like, there's that.
Okay.
That's why I don't have to introduce you
as my husband outside of this scenario.
But anyway, we're going to have a good show.
Let's get started.
Let's do it.
We have, has it been two weeks?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Man, I don't feel like it.
So just to say a couple of quick things.
Everybody's been asking me about these hats.
I got on.
I had these made.
I had the patch made, sent all the hats,
sent the patch to a friend.
He does the hats.
He irons it on.
But in the Junior Motorsports gift shop,
we are selling Jerky Boys hats.
Any man wants one because everybody loves
Jerky Boys jerky.
Best in the world.
If you don't, better get out of here.
It's the best in the world.
And I was in the gift shop.
Yeah.
Right.
I was in the gift shop to get this
to show y'all today.
He started shopping for himself.
I saw this shirt.
Now I saw some of these with the big 79,
80 Monte Carlo on it.
And I'm like, that is the coolest.
So I got one.
I seen him a bunch at the racetrack.
Let me get this out of the way.
But what the heck?
This is how life looks.
Now it's out of the frame.
Now everybody gets a real clear example
of how you act.
Now it's out of the frame
and nobody knows it's here.
Just kick it.
So...
What are we drinking today, Ralph?
Well, we're not ready to talk about the drink.
Oh, what are you drinking?
We're gonna have a little conversation first.
Travis, dammit.
Help!
You're on an island with this one.
Travis.
I feel like I'm on an island in general today.
Hey, Travis talked.
Travis says something.
Yes, Dale.
There it is.
Look at that shirt.
What is that shirt, Travis?
It's Cal Ripken.
The one and only Cal Ripken.
All right.
So it's like the baseball card.
It's super cool.
And...
Baseball cards are a thing again, aren't they?
Dude, so bad.
I was just gonna tell you.
Oh, sorry.
So I have a friend, Landon Huffman,
racing in the cards tour.
And he's gotten into the cards over the last year.
Cole, Swindell.
I saw that.
Luke Combs.
Yeah.
All these dudes are diving into these cards
and I'm thinking, what's going on?
So cards, baseball cards, racing, all types, right?
Or have made a big resurgence since the pandemic
or since the 2020, for whatever reason,
they've made this sort of big comeback
and all of the current stuff.
So what I've learned is I talked to a couple people
that are in that business.
And what I've learned is like all of my junk wax
from the 90s, all the stuff that I have
from way back hasn't really risen in value,
hasn't had this big resurgence, not any of the older stuff.
It's all the new stuff.
Junk wax?
Is that the...
There's a period where they were printing so many cards,
the stuff was worthless.
Like 90s upper deck and late 80s tops and stuff like that.
They were just making so many cards
that now they're not worth anything.
Too saturated.
Yeah, you can buy unopened boxes of 87 tops
all the time for like 11 bucks.
And so I mean, there's just not no value there.
So all the stuff from the 40s, 50s and 60s,
some of the 70s is valuable.
Then the junk wax period began
where they were over-producing stuff.
And then now that's made a big comeback
and the car companies have gotten smarter
about limiting how much they're producing
and there's a lot of autographed cards these days.
So they weren't selling autographed cards
impacts years ago, right?
They didn't think to do that.
Now there's autograph.
You can pull a card and pull...
Opening packs is like this new rush, adrenaline rush now.
And there's...
The card companies have made an effort
to almost help you determine
that you're going to get some value out of a pack.
So there's different...
The packs are sold now
with almost some hope that you're going to pull a quality card.
And so that's really incentivized collectors to do it,
to get involved now
because they feel like there's a better chance of them
not getting a bunch of junk and no names.
Does that make you want to buy more packs?
Because it would make me buy less, I guess.
If I got satisfied, I would stop.
Not satisfied.
So it makes people go...
It makes people get the boxes and go after the cards
and go after the opening packs.
They sit around together with friends
and open packs and they're like,
Oh, look, I got one.
So...
This is nodding very quickly.
That's right.
Like Butterbean and Cole Swindale were somewhere the other day.
They sent me a picture and they're together
opening packs and trying to pull
and they pulled some pretty cool cards.
And so it got me thinking, man.
Like, dang.
You know, I...
Got me thinking, dang.
Yeah, got me thinking, dang.
Dang.
I'm thinking that I want to...
It made me curious.
I started looking up some cards
that I would love to have.
And...
Do you know what you have and don't have?
I do.
Like, where is your card collection?
I got them out.
I had them in a safe and I got them out.
And I was looking through them the other day.
And, you know, some of my cards have not
gone up in value.
You can literally buy apps on your phone to take
and scan the card.
And it'll be like, yeah, that's a good card.
And so...
I don't have a lot of great stuff.
I have some cards that are decent.
But the...
What I would love...
What I'm thinking I would love to do
is to buy some vintage cards that are autographed
by my favorite players.
We were right around the Super Bowl.
John Riggins running back for Washington
and was selling his Super Bowl used...
Game used Jersey.
Really?
Yep, from 1983 or 82
when they beat the Miami Dolphins for the Super Bowl.
He was selling the Jersey.
And it was assumed
it would go for around $200,000
and it sold for $500,000.
$500,000?
Holy smokes.
I mean, it's a very iconic,
especially if you're a Washington.
I was just going to ask you if you were going to
consider buying it, but now I understand.
The commanders now, they wore the red scans.
And there's a lot of emotion around
how what this team's been through
over the last several years
and there's still a ton of hardcore fans
from that era and he was incredible.
And he has this really signature play in that game.
So I mean, having that Jersey
is a holy grail for Washington fans,
plus it's an incredible piece in NFL.
That person also has Riggins' Super Bowl ring.
Oh, really?
So he's a mega fan.
Riggins has gotten to the point in his life.
He's like, you know what?
I don't need this.
It's the owner of the...
You know the Selling Sunset show?
The Oppenheimer guy, he's the one that bought it.
Oh, wild.
Interesting. I didn't know that.
So anyways, that got me thinking
you know what?
I do want to own some cards
and I need to make like this sort of...
It's very short list of like 6 to 12 players
where I would love to have their autographed rookie card.
And I think it starts with like John Riggins, Art Monk,
Del Green, these are players from...
Football, football, guys, guys.
And that would be the lit...
I mean, my like getting back into collecting
would be basically this little short run
of trying to get these 12 cards or so,
you know, a dozen cards or whatever.
And then I'd be like, okay.
I don't believe that for a second.
I think it would spiral into like this whole new part,
like this whole new branch.
Just like that's how it works for you.
I can't get...
I can't get...
I don't trust the new trend
that guys and gals are going out there
and like getting this rookie card
of a current player.
And like, for example, Jaden Daniels.
The owner of the Washington...
The owner of the Washington Commanders
bought this one-of-one card of Jaden's
for like a hundred grand, maybe more.
And now it's worth much, much less
after the season that he had last year.
Now, if he has another great year
and takes him to the Super Bowl eventually,
that card obviously would rebound.
But people are banking.
Yeah, guys, like my buddy Landon Huffman,
he bought a particular player's card.
Who's the quarterback for the Tampa Bay?
What's his name?
Baker.
Baker?
Yeah, Baker Mayfield.
He got a Baker Mayfield card.
Baker's hot, playing well.
And he bought this card.
And then Baker had kind of a down year last year.
Not quite as good.
And so, you know, the card drops him.
I'm like, I can't get in there.
No, your emotions will go on the roller coaster too much with it.
Well, I remember back in the Junkwax days
there was a guy named Todd Van Poppel was a pitcher
coming out of a high school or college
going to play for the A's.
And everybody was buying his card.
And he turned out to not turn into much at all.
And none of his cards are worth anything.
All of us, you know, there's the cards right there.
What are they worth?
Like six dollars.
Six bucks?
Yeah.
How much do you spend on it to begin with?
Like if you were just buying?
Well, we were buying, we were like,
he's one of hundreds of examples of players
where we were all like, oh, we got to get this card.
This guy's a prospect.
He's going to be a bad ass.
Yeah, you just never know.
Yeah.
And they don't.
And I can't get into that.
That's too risky.
Well, not when they're cheap.
Also, Dale, I feel like Amy's right.
Like this is going to be like your paintball
or your cycling thing.
Like if you get into it,
you're not just going to like tip your toe in.
No, you can go hand bone.
And it's going to be a thing.
You should see the collection of die-cast cards,
which all of them are specific and special
and they have purpose.
I don't have a card for no reason.
No, but it started with,
I'm just going to get dad's blah, blah, blah.
And now we've got way more than that.
And they take a lot more space than baseball cards.
So like in the library upstairs where he's got his cases,
he now has these little, these little cases.
They're small.
They're not cases though.
They're out.
So they're like banking,
like little pieces of a racetrack.
And he's got them set up like running on a racetrack.
And I look in the window the other day and I'm like,
they're like all around the room now.
They're everywhere.
He's another one of those things.
He like sneaks into the house.
I know who's shipping them.
I know the label.
I know the size of the box,
but I see him and he's like,
all of a sudden he disappears.
I got some die-casts for $500.
They're so expensive.
That's cheap.
500 is like the lowest.
I'm also stealing from Dirty Mo.
The box comes in the mail.
I open it up, pull the car out,
slide it in my hoodie and I creep upstairs
and try to get it in my little collection.
And he wonders where Nicole gets it from.
That's right.
It's not that I think Amy's going to get mad or anything.
I'm just embarrassed.
Then why are you doing it?
It's displayed.
I know, but I don't know what I paid for it.
But if you say, hey,
Dude, I already know.
Yeah.
If any box comes to the house labeled to Dirty Mo.
I justify that the price is fair
because there's other people willing to pay it.
100%.
He's lost some of these cars
and then gotten mad about it
and had the guy make him one on the side.
Yeah.
I've lost the baseball card.
I've lost the auction.
Lost the eBay auction.
Yeah.
I'm lost in the mail or lost in my...
Just lost your marbles.
No.
I just feel like the baseball card thing
would kind of lead to that too.
But like I said, baseball cards are tiny.
Yeah.
It's possible.
Hey, we got the drink of the week.
Don't skip forward
because I want to tell you about this one.
This is my favorite drink.
This is my absolute favorite cocktail to make.
Yeah.
This is Amy's favorite.
And I'm not...
Yeah, I'm not supposed to dog the drinks.
Right?
Because it's high rock vodka.
And this is good vodka.
It's very good.
Oh, by the way, I want to tell y'all...
I'm going to just have a sip.
Dude, I got to tell you.
And this is...
This is also...
This is why you don't want to skip forward.
High rock vodka in Forbes magazine, right?
Who?
Is one of the top five world's best vodkas
according to the wine and spirits
wholesalers of America.
Yes.
It was voted as one of the top ones.
I mean...
The best tasting.
Yeah.
I mean, they go through the whole gamut of things.
Listen, that's pretty cool to be...
Forbes doesn't mess around.
I'm not...
This is no bull...
So, I like...
We all like to go out and have fun.
And maybe you're...
You know, occasionally have a couple of drinks.
The vodka that we have is filtered seven times.
And it's done with a Lincoln County method.
And so it's super clean.
Very smooth, very clean.
Dude, I promise you, like...
No hangovers.
If you were to drink...
You know, if you were sort of to do a test
over the course of several months
in drinking different types of vodka,
the way you would wake up the next day feeling
with drinking high rock is probably the one
you're going to prefer.
Because of how it's filtered.
Right.
And it's so clean.
You don't wake up in the morning
feeling all the crap.
Hating life.
Hating life.
So, that's my favorite thing about it.
That is my favorite thing about it.
Because a lot of people will say,
you know, vodka's vodka, whatever, you know.
That's true.
But the way you feel the next day can be...
That is in your control.
Right.
And I do feel like that this gives me
some control over that.
Well, high rock also...
Sugarland has full control over the juice.
So, from start to finish,
it is made in the Sugarland's...
A lot of people don't know this.
A lot of companies buy it from another source.
Why don't we do the same thing?
It's not a label on it.
It's a very common thing.
They're not even making it.
Right.
You know.
And so, a lot of people do that.
And so, yeah.
Anyhow, y'all trust me on that.
And I'll stop.
But we got the dirty martini.
It's the dirty, dirty martini.
You can probably recognize the dirty martini.
I'll try it.
That's not my favorite.
This isn't Dale's favorite.
It is mine.
So, you have...
Can I read the recipe?
Sorry.
I can't.
I can't lie.
I can't tell a lie.
He loves olives, but olives and vodka together for some reason.
That's interesting.
Just don't work for you, huh?
I just don't get it.
This drink...
Listen, I know...
If we put pickle juice in it, would you like it better?
Listen, I know that the dirty martini is extremely popular.
It is.
I mean, it's been around for ages.
It is a staple.
And any...
In any bar?
Yeah, absolutely.
But I can't get down with it.
Well, more for me, then.
I don't think...
Is there not enough...
Am I not...
Is there not enough...
You like sweet drinks.
Let's just start there.
I know, but I do love pickles and brine and olives.
And I love all those things.
Is there not enough...
Do I need more olives juice?
You probably need more.
You want a filthy martini.
A filthy.
Yeah.
It's dirty.
Extra dirty.
Extra dirty.
Like, you can...
There's stages of dirtiness, yes.
Well, I don't mind...
What's the coffee one?
An espresso martini.
Extra martini.
Yeah.
Every college girl likes those two, too.
That smells basic.
Well, I know Tim Dugger drinks those.
Yeah.
Well...
And so we drank...
I've drank in a few of those.
You know, and that's like, hey, I like the taste.
I know I'm also going to rock and roll a couple more hours tonight.
It's going to extend...
And all...
It's going to extend...
And all night long when you try to go to sleep.
It's going to extend the night.
So that one I can get down with, but I'll be honest.
I mean, I...
It's tough.
Well, you don't have to drink it.
Just read the recipe.
I just hate to give up.
I'm not a cook.
Take one more sip.
One more sip for the crowd.
Nope.
What about the olive?
I love olives.
His or herself with blue cheese.
I think he's going to...
I will sit down for a snack and get me a plate of olives, a pickle, all of the...
A pickle extravaganza.
You'll have to sit and have a little pickle of this, a little pickle of that.
Some grapes.
Little pepperonis.
Some...
I'll do grapes alone.
I don't eat pickles in grapes.
But I'll sit down and have a little, you know, what do you call that?
Charcuterie?
No cheese.
But I don't know, man.
I just can't...
Please just put that one in the game later.
I've never been a martini.
Well, listen, we're not going to make you...
I don't know what the appeal is.
I like it.
I know you do.
I wish I knew why.
Because it tastes good, bro.
All right.
Well, you want to tell them how to make it since it's your favorite.
You tell them you're on a roll.
Swirl a splash of dried vermouth in a chilled martini glass and pour out vermouth.
Combine two and a half ounces of hierarchy vodka, two ounces of olive juice and a shaker with ice.
Pour into the martini glass and garnish with blue cheese stuffed olives or just regular olives.
Visit Total Wine.
We visited the Total Wine at Daytona while we were there.
We signed some bottles.
Also, heads up, we got the new bottles.
Yes.
This is a big deal.
It's a huge deal.
So fans will go into the store and they'll say, yep, I like the vodka, but I wish they had the big handles.
Yeah.
What are those?
1.5?
Yep.
We finally have it.
We're going to have 1.5s in the stores and airplane bottles.
Yes.
So for those of you that don't like to measure, like myself...
You just throw the whole bottle in there.
I just get the airplane bottles and that's how I do it.
Yeah.
That's coming to you very soon.
That's right.
Keep an eye out.
Total Wine has been a great partner for us.
There's our airplane bottles.
You can bring them over.
Thank you, Travis.
You're a tiny baby.
Thank you.
Send them right here.
Yeah.
So pretty exciting for us.
Hirox doing great.
People are starting to catch on and realize how much of a great product this is.
You can find a bottle near you by going to HiroxVodka.com.
There's a locator.
You just type in where you're at and it'll say, all right, there's a ABC store if you're
North Carolina.
There's a liquor store down the street and it's got two bottles and blah, blah, blah.
So remember to drink responsibly.
You must be 21 or over.
I like to handle as 1.75.
1.75.
Yeah.
You know what I mean.
The big boys.
The big boy.
Yeah.
We're going to have them.
I don't want to do a little Red Bull in Hirox.
Now I get down with that.
Now we're talking.
That's a drink.
Now we're talking.
I can support you.
Some of the noises you make, I swear.
Are you like a porch grainy sometimes?
Porch grainy.
Yeah.
You remember when Tim used to do the porch grainy thing?
Tim Duggar used to do.
Don't slam that door.
So Tim Duggar would put a filter on and make him look like a grainy.
And he would send us videos.
It is hilarious.
Honey.
Hey.
Take him shoes off now.
Take him shoes off.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Shut that screen door.
You letting flies in.
He's just as much of a comedian as he is a singer.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Pretty hilarious.
But sometimes you make a little like.
Me?
Yeah.
You just did it.
Well, you know.
Nicole does that too.
Oh yeah.
And you're trying.
You're telling her and she needed to stop.
So Nicole has these voices.
She goes.
No, I don't.
Because she's just replaced her words with that now.
That's driving me crazy.
But she just.
We don't.
We don't need to squeak at each other.
Nicole.
Is our youngest.
And if she's frustrated by something.
She'll look at you and go.
Yeah.
She like growls.
She's always done that.
Or if she's excited.
About something or she's maybe opening up a present.
She'll go.
Yes.
And I start doing it too.
I just love it.
I think it's the cutest thing.
So I'm encouraging it.
I'm sorry.
Yeah.
Part of the problem.
Because I grunt too.
And she starts grunting.
And she's talking to me about something going.
You know, I'll do it.
I'll do it.
You can't beat him.
Join him, I guess.
I just think it's hilarious.
She'll grow up.
She's not going to be a grutter and an.
She's gonna communicate when she's.
It looks like a little Neanderthals.
Talking to each other.
How old is she?
She's five.
Yeah.
She's only five.
She is the cutest.
She's a great.
She's great.
She's cute.
but it's really annoying when you're trying to get her dressed
and all she's doing is grunting at you.
Yeah.
You may have heard about a serious but rare heart condition
called ATTR cardiac amyloidosis, or ATTR-CM.
Because symptoms can look like other heart conditions,
a diagnosis may take a long time.
But learning more about ATTR-CM
and a treatment called atrubi,
also known as acoramidus,

All right, so let's address the elephant in the room.
I wanted to keep it going for a little longer.
What?
The elephant in the room?
They told a 500.
Listen, listen.
Explain yourself, Amy.
I was in a weakened state.
You had me trapped in a bus with the kids
and I have a short shelf life.
I have a short shelf life in environments like that.
I thought she was gonna say I was laying back next
to my handsome husband in bed
and I was in a weakened state.
Well, you know.
Not trapped in a camper with him.
I'm a fluffer.
I'm trying to make you smile and make you happy
and you lay down and you were talking about the race.
I was like, you just should run at yourself next year.
And he looks at me like, what the hell?
Who has abducted my wife
and put this chick here?
I mean, I was kind of serious,
but listen, it is up to you.
It's always up to you.
It's just so much work.
Oh my God.
It's so much work.
You had no clue.
I don't.
You're right.
I don't.
But I feel like it would be worth the extra whatever.
It ain't.
Like, all right, look, if I could put a suit on
and walk out and climb in the car
and start it up and drive it off
and race like hell.
Hell, yes.
But you got Sam, you got photo shoots.
You got to take picture.
You know, you got to get fitted in the suit and do all.
It's just, there's months of lead up to,
and there'll be so many people that are partners
and think you'll be a lot of media.
There'll be just a bunch of asks.
You can't just go race.
You'll feel bad saying, no, I don't want to do all that.
Why do you have to feel bad?
Because I feel bad.
It's a privilege to be able to do it.
And you feel like it's your job and your obligation
to say yes to all of the things
that allow it to happen, right?
Well, this is part of the reason
you've always felt so much pressure
is because you feel that way.
Instead of just enjoying the racing
and separating those things for yourself,
you know what I mean?
Yeah, like I just know that if I said,
yeah, I'll do that.
It will turn into a, just a circus.
And standing out there on the grid,
getting ready to get in the car,
there's just to be a circus.
I mean, that's, I don't feel like that's a reason to say no.
I mean, the other reasons make more sense.
We go, we went to the Daytona 500.
We stood out on the grid.
And we're, and it's not a circus in this,
in my current role.
And I like watching, I like watching the circus,
not being in the rain.
You don't want to be a monkey in the circus?
Yeah, so I don't know.
I do love driving.
I do watch them go around the track and go,
man, I'd love to be out there and feeling that
and doing that.
I would love that, but...
What if they created like a, wait, hey, okay.
So the other part is...
I got that big fat hand.
I have never raced the next gen.
I've never been in that car.
I don't know where this is.
It is racing at the cup level.
And I will always feel this way.
It is an elite level.
You have to be freaking badass to be there
and know where all every square inch of that car is
as you're traveling around the track.
I don't know where the corners are.
I don't know.
I don't know...
You don't know the car.
That when we get into the very finite moments
of adjustment and driving and decision making
and instant like bam, bam, bam.
I don't know that I still,
I don't think you can just jump in
and all that comes right back.
I think you need to be doing it every week
to be able to be as sharp as you're gonna wanna be.
And so if I go out there
and those guys are moving, reacting quicker
because their minds are where my mind used to be.
And they're quicker reacting, they're sharper.
I'm gonna notice that.
And I'm gonna go, I don't wanna do this
unless I can be as good as I remember being.
I understand, right?
Yeah.
While it's fun and I do enjoy it,
I only want to do it if I feel like I am absolutely 100%
as good as I can possibly be.
And...
Well, how are you gonna know?
How do you know?
I only can be that good if I'm doing it every single week.
It ain't something that it's an,
I feel like it's,
I feel like that it's naive to think
you can just jump in a cup car
and go run well in the day 20 to 500
and not have a driven one in almost eight years, nine years.
So I think it's naive.
And I think it's, I think any cup guy
like even Blaney a friend of ours would come in here
and say, hey, man, yeah.
Are you sure?
We're gonna have your hands full.
Yeah.
And so look at Justin.
Justin tests, he runs the next gen car a lot testing.
He does the wheel force car.
He's got a lot of time in the car.
And he still, you know,
found himself in a position where, you know,
things didn't work out, right?
And people would say, well, you know,
he wasn't ready for being pushed out that far.
And he made a decision.
He made it, you know, people would say,
maybe Denny or some of the people would say,
that happened because he doesn't do it every single week.
Right?
And so, or had he been doing it every single week,
he might have not.
Made a different choice.
Yeah, yeah.
So I don't want to insult Justin.
He's great.
But I feel like I would really be, you know, over my head.
I hear you.
And as much as it would be fun,
there would be, no matter, it would be fun,
but I would end it no matter what the result would be
going, man, I realize I don't, I'm not there anymore.
You know?
So are you worried a little bit too,
putting all that aside,
like how it would affect your ego?
Not so much.
I don't mean that in a negative way, but like.
Yeah, I know what you mean.
I wouldn't say you go, I wouldn't say you go,
but yeah, it might drive home the truth that,
you know, you're 51, you're not gonna be as sharp,
cause you don't do it every week.
It's like golf.
Like if you want to be great at golf
and truly doing a great job hitting the ball
and putting it where you're supposed to do it.
Yeah, it takes a long time.
You need to do it all the time.
You can't just, and another example,
and I'm not, I'll end here.
Casey Cain came in the studio probably six years ago.
Yeah.
And he was back and forth about driving his dirt cars.
And I'm like, why don't you drive them?
Why don't you drive them more?
He goes, man, I get mad because I do it every now and then
and I get my ass kicked and I can only do it well
if I'm doing it every week and I can't do it every week.
And so it's frustrating.
I want to do it.
It's fun, but I can't be as good as I want
because I can't do it all the time.
And I'm like, yep, totally understand that.
And so, I mean, it's the same in the cars tour.
Like I badly wish I could run the entire season.
I can't because it would make me better when I do run.
I go and run one or two races and I run,
I don't run as well because I don't run it every week
and I don't know what those other guys know
because they're doing it every day.
And I'm like, you know, it's fun, but damn, you know,
kind of, I got an arm time behind my back
when I'm doing it, you know, so.
All right, well, we settled it.
We settled it.
Thank you for bringing that up.
I was taken aback when I saw that come up
on my phone yesterday.
I was like, oh, I can't believe you said that.
I didn't want him to come out and acknowledge
I wanted you to sit there for a little longer.
I thought it was just gonna be in the camper
and that was that.
We're gonna leave it there.
Well, I said that, I said that selfishly maybe
because the reason why I said that,
I didn't want y'all to cut a video.
I didn't want you to cut a highlight reel.
I thought it could live deep inside the podcast.
I didn't want you to really cut a highlight reel,
but you did, and I didn't get in your way.
And I knew it was gonna stir everybody up.
But one of the things that bothered me when I retired
was people were blaming Amy.
And so I saw people on social media,
and I know you're not supposed to read this one.
I mean, I'm an easy target.
That's like where everybody goes, right?
They were like, I bet Amy told them to quit.
It's Amy.
It's her.
She told him to stop.
Amy told him not to do anymore.
And that's not accurate at all.
And so when you said that the other night,
I was like, man, people would not believe
that she just said that.
They wouldn't believe your point of view.
And so I shared that.
I shared a conversation, I shared that with everybody.
And I made the choice to stop.
And Amy supported my choice,
but she wasn't sitting there going,
man, you need to stop.
No, I was very careful with what I said to you.
Of course I wanted you to be healthy and safe
and all the things, but also you have to be happy.
And your choice has to be yours,
or you have to, because you have to live with it.
So no, I mean.
And you understand today,
while we have a crap ton of things going on
and we got two girls that we're trying to raise
into great people, you understand like,
you know, I need to go get a little out of this.
Scratch the itch.
Yeah, go scratch the itch
and have a little fun every now and then.
Yeah, we all have to scratch our itch, right?
And we figure out how to make that fit.
And so, yeah, that was...
Speaking of scratching itches,
we went on a Disney cruise.
We're letting the kids scratch a itch there.
It was, I've never been on a cruise.
Let's just start there.
I've never been on a cruise boat.
It wasn't really in my interest to ever go on a cruise.
I just felt like I've seen the Titanic.
Shame on me, right?
Like if it happens to me, shame on me.
So I was just never interested in going on one.
Like you can fly to an island, you can go to Disney World.
But we decided to go on a Disney cruise
because Tamla and TJ were going
and Tamla is very well versed
and does bookings for Disney.
So it's like the perfect person to go to Disney with.
And so we had the girls set up with like
all of the outfits and all the things
and the attenuaries made.
And so we go on the cruise and it was fun.
The only drawback for me is the thing you can't control
which is the weather.
So it was cold and windy, very windy.
So the boat rocked quite a bit.
And then we didn't get to dock on one of the islands one day
because it was too windy to even get in the boat slip.
I mean, there was like some drawbacks
on that regard for me.
And it made the whole experience
just a little bit more skewed, right?
It was amazing.
It was amazing.
The boat's amazing, the shows are amazing.
It's very well done.
But like that's the thing you don't think about
when you go on a cruise is like
your trip may be completely different than you imagined
because of the weather.
Yeah.
So it's like any trip though.
I'm sorry?
That's any trip though.
It was a great trip.
Yeah, it was.
I'm gonna tell you, we get there.
I'm anxious trying to park the car, get us out,
get us on the boat.
I don't know how this process goes.
Getting on the boat was simple.
They got a good system.
They know what they're doing.
Everybody's happy.
They know you're trying to have a fun trip.
So even the people trying to get you on the boat
and process your customs and all that.
Everything's super nice and good.
It's Disney.
Everyone's got a smile on their face.
Everybody wants to make sure your experience
is as happy as it could possibly be.
So one thing that I'll say is I had no idea
how much alcohol is on this boat.
No clue.
When you're not getting off the boat too,
all you do is sit in the little bars and things
and hang out and drink.
I'm thinking Disney crews.
I'm thinking there's gonna be characters running around,
kids just gonna be running up to Mickey and Goofy
and just gonna be just Disney.
Just pouring out of every hallway
and everywhere you go, just Disney's everything.
And the boat is absolutely full on giving you Disney all day.
And so there's places to go see movies
and rewatch shows and there's shows every night
and trivia and all kinds of games happening.
There's just stuff where you can be
in multiple places at once.
But I was like, maybe they'll have a little bar
hidden down at the bottom of the boat
for the adults late at night
when everybody's tired and the kids go to bed
and they're like, all right, here's your beer.
He's imagining he's gonna be in steerage
with all the other dads trying to escape their families.
Helping row the boat.
Just like hiding out.
No, just I just figured like, you know,
that there'll be a very, I felt like there'd be a very
minimal, you know, adults only sort of,
I didn't expect much, you know?
And it's for the kids.
This trip's all about the kids.
Well, for us it was for the kids,
but some people go on those trips without kids.
There's some adults on there just by themselves.
Disney adults scare me.
Yeah, yeah.
Disney adults scare you?
Yeah.
They're different for each other.
They're something.
Let me tell you, man, they was five bars on this boat.
Oh, I mean, at least.
Yeah.
One, I mean, and at 9 p.m., no kids allowed.
There's some adult only restaurants and things too
that are a little bit like a higher scale.
But so all of the bars though are themed.
They are, it's like a Disney ride.
Everything, every inch of the walls
is covered with whatever the theme is.
There's a pirate bar.
There was a haunted mansion bar,
which we all loved immensely.
The haunted mansion bar is the coolest bar
I've ever been in, ever.
So you've been to Magic, The Magic Kingdom
and you've been through the haunted mansion ride.
It's just like that inside.
There's like, the whole room is like gothic and dark
and the lights change and there's music playing
constantly.
There's a fish tank in the middle of the room
that's got skeleton, holographic little fish.
It's like being in the house of the Munsters.
Kind of, yeah.
So there's a big fish tank in the middle.
There's a fish tank in the middle of the room.
There's chairs all around.
It catches everywhere.
A lot of places to sit.
And in the fish tank is skeleton fish.
Yeah, little holograms.
And they look like they're really in there.
And then they, yeah, it's holograms.
And then there's music playing.
So eventually when the music starts
and the fish start dancing to the music,
like everything is just very thoughtfully done.
Just like you would expect.
There's all these photos on the wall.
There's like an old war hero and a, you know,
I mean, they're like 16, 14, 1500s
and there's a lady on the wall.
And they all look like regular, normal,
old vintage photograph and pictures.
And then the room gets a little gloomier
and the music gets a little more intense
and the pictures come to life
and their eyes start moving around and looking around.
And then the lady grows the snake hair.
She turns into Medusa.
She turns into Medusa.
And that was, that was one picture in particular
that Nicole locked in on.
She's like, dad, what is that?
What's that lady got on her?
Why she have snakes on her head?
I know.
I told Nicole.
I'm like, that's Medusa.
I remember the story about Medusa.
I remember watching the movies back in the day.
Yeah, the Odyssey.
And I'm like, that's Medusa.
If you look at her, you turn to stone
and don't lock eyes with her.
Shame on you, Dale.
So I had told her before.
Nicole totally believed everything I was telling her.
She did.
I had told her before.
That's Medusa.
It's part of a mythological story.
She's not real, but she is a character.
Kind of like Mickey and Minnie.
They're not real.
They're just characters.
Well, Dale Fullsall tells her like,
if you look at her in the eyeballs,
like this is the next day we were back in the bar.
If you look at her,
you're going to turn into a statue.
And so she was scared to death of that.
She was scared, but she kept saying, can we go there?
Can we go there?
She wanted to go in there.
She loves creepy things.
She's like, I want to go to the creepy bar.
I want to go to the creepy place.
And of course they have like Shirley temples
and all kinds of like cool cocktails
for the kids to drink too.
Nicole was nervous to be in there,
but wanted so curious to like,
like go there more and figure it out.
She's like, but then finally we're sitting there
on like the last day and we're side bus.
It's like three in the afternoon.
And she's like, I want to get out of here.
She grabbed me by the arm.
She's like, I'm ready to leave.
And I was like, what?
She goes, I don't want to get turned into stone.
And I was like, honey, it's not real.
I was like, I didn't want to not tell her it wasn't real
because you know.
Well, it's not real.
Well, no, I didn't want to say it's real.
She's a real person.
That's definitely, I didn't say any of that,
but I didn't want to, I have a hard time
like knowing what to tell them like about the fantasy of it.
And I was like, I don't want to ruin her,
this fantasy and experience and say, this is all fake.
That's a machine.
You know, that's-
Well, you don't have to tell her that.
You don't have to tell her it's a machine.
How the picture works.
I know.
And so I tried to let it be a fantasy and-
And you forgot she's five
and gonna have nine years.
And she goes, oh, I don't really like it anymore.
And I'm like, okay, okay, it's not real.
The lady's not going to do anything.
The first night we got home,
both of those kids woke up like an hour after we put him down,
put him down, screaming, crying.
Nicole has never woke up crying from like a bad dream.
She was having dreams about Medusa coming after her.
Dang.
Winter job sites don't mess around.
Freezing mornings, wet conditions,
wind that cuts right through your cheap gear.
You need work wear that performs
when it's brutal out there.
True work builds performance work wear like it matters
because it does.
Founded by a trade professional
who was done with soaking wet,
heavy gear slowing him down,
true work set out to make work wear
that keeps pros comfortable,
capable and ready for whatever the day throws at them.
True work uses advanced performance fabrics
originally developed for extreme outdoor conditions.
Now engineered specifically for trade work,
designed with moisture wicking,
wind resistant and insulated fabrics
that keep you comfortable and mobile all day long,
even in the harshest winter conditions.
True work came in clutch for me
when we had the winter storm
come through North Carolina,
the S4 Tower of Parca was perfect for what I needed.
Driveway is covered with snow,
needed to get out there and get it cleaned off.
The Tower of Parca got the job done.
Fully weatherproof and insulated,
built for the coldest and wettest job sites.
As the snow's coming down,
I stayed dry, I stayed warm, I was happy.
There's nothing worse than when you have a jacket
that's just absorbing all the water.
And underneath, I had the tech flannel work shirt on.
This thing is perfect, warmth without the bulk.
That's what I love.
You can move around in it, stay mobile.
The other thing I love about the flannel work shirt,
it's not just for the job site.
You can wear this thing to work,
going out to get drinks with the boys,
throw that flannel work shirt on and go out there.
It's perfect, it's versatile.
You definitely need to have that.
And you can't forget about the pants too.
And true work has you covered.
With the T2 work pants,
when I was out there shoveling and had these things on,
they are perfect, they're durable,
they're flexible, best part, water resistant.
Normally I would just have jeans on,
those things are just gonna get wet,
weigh you down, make you cold.
The T2 work pants stop all of that.
They are perfect.
Don't let cheap care slow you down this winter.
Upgrade your day with work where built like it matters.

You said that Stefan told you
he got to have some screen time this week,
but is that all about?
We promised we weren't gonna mention names.
Well, it's too late.
Oh, damn.
So he can figure this out for himself.
So we're playing our college football dynasty
and we stream and Stefan was streaming
and his girlfriend was giving him a hard time
because he was playing a game
and then on another television
he had somebody else's stream up
and she's like, do we need all this going on?
Like this is way too much screen time.
Haven't you had enough screen time?
Haven't you had enough screen time is what she asked Steven
and we give him so much about it.
Well, cause on the stream,
his microphone was live.
Everyone could hear this playing out.
We all heard her.
In the live, so yeah.
And so now we're like, hey man,
you, how's your screen time this week?
Are you getting close to your quota
or are you getting over?
So funny.
And he told us the other day,
he come, we're leaving Daytona.
He's like, man, I'm gonna be able to play all my games
and do all the things.
Girlfriend's out of town this week
and get to have extra screen time.
No screen time limits this week.
And I was like, I was like, that's the new.
That's the new term.
That's the new slang for my better house out of town.
No screen, no screen time limits this week.
That's what, that's when you know.
I can have unlimited screen time.
Yep.
And so I was wondering that might be,
have you ever had code for anything
with your boys, your friends, your...
He asked me this
because he used to do things that were bad,
like pretty regularly.
So he would have code words for things.
Like, did you have a code word
with your brothers or sisters
for something specific like you're around your parents?
I'm like, no, I didn't have those things
because I didn't do bad things.
No, I don't have code words.
I didn't either.
But if he apparently Dale did do things like that.
I don't remember like having code words, but...
He goes, do you have code words?
I'm like, you mean like speaking piglet?
I used to do that a little.
No, but like, you know,
the word you had the other day, the Valentine's day,
or what it...
The Valentine's is not code.
It is.
The hell it's not.
It is not code.
If you don't know what it is, it's code.
It's not a code word.
If you didn't start getting Valentine's posts
in your phone regularly after that podcast,
like it's a very regular thing.
If you don't know what the word is
and never have heard it, it is absolutely,
it feels like code.
That's just...
You need to get out more.
Yeah.
Watch a TV show.
I need to get out more.
I'm fricking out.
Who do you know?
I mean...
Where am I?
I'm out.
Yeah, I have been all over the world.
I'm tired.
Oh my God.
That's the problem.
You're just tired.
I need to get in more.
I need to get in more, not out.
No, Valentine's is not code.
I need to sit down and stay at home on the couch.
That's what I'm all about.
You're never gonna learn anything
new sitting on the couch.
Except if you're on your phone and scrolling,
you'll learn about Valentine's.
So...
You know, in back to the story,
like, you know, if I say to Stephen,
you know, say you go on another girl's trip
and I say to Stephen,
hey man, no screen time limits for me this week.
You know, he'll know what I mean.
He will, because it's like a personal joke.
I know.
And so you've never had any of that with your friends?
Oh, like...
Yeah.
Not necessarily like code words, but...
I feel like that's just like sarcasm.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Which, of course, I have that.
Have you had any sarcasm?
Oh, really?
Have you?
I had a friend like in high school, like,
we always said like he was whipped,
so we just be like, just like you're locked up
and like he can't go out.
Like the girlfriends got him under wraps
and we can do whatever.
And your shackles.
Whooped.
That's what we used to call it.
Man, you're whooped.
Like, T.J.
We would give T.J. a hard time
and tell him, you know, when he couldn't do something
or go with us somewhere, we'd tell him he's whooped
and he'd be like, man, I got a five-year-old at home.
You don't know what it's like.
And we weren't, none of us had kids yet.
And we're like...
He used to give T.J. a really hard time.
Yeah.
Every time he would miss something,
I'd go, man, you got that five-year-old at home.
T.J. can't be here.
He's got the five-year-old at home.
Even when his child had now turned eight,
nine, 10 years old, that was still the running joke.
Yeah.
Where's T.J.?
You got that five-year-old at home.
But now, and so that, like recently, you know,
I apologize to him.
I'm like, dude, I am so sorry for all those years.
Now that I have kids, I totally understand.
And now it's Tim doing it to us.
Can't go anywhere because of the kids.
Got those kids.
Yep.
It's just part of life.
So another thing you asked me was about skipping school,
speaking of doing bad things.
Yeah, had you ever skipped school?
He asked me if I skipped school in the same conversation
and I'm like, no, I didn't skip school.
Our girls were late the other day.
I didn't do bad things.
Yes, Isla, so we would get,
when we get back from Daytona,
we flew back in the morning on Monday because of the weather.
So they were like an hour late to school,
which I didn't think was a big deal.
The school was fine.
Isla was not fine.
Isla does not do well being embarrassed.
She doesn't do well with, like,
falling out of the structure.
She needs to stay in her box, right?
She had no idea she was going to be late to school.
We were flying, we stayed,
the weather was bad Sunday after the race.
So we just said, hey, we'll not even worry about it.
We'll get up in the morning,
got up at seven and left Daytona.
And Isla has, I think she's gonna show up at school on time.
When she learned she was going to be 30 minutes later,
whatever it was, she fell apart.
She fell apart, she melted down.
I took her to school that morning.
Dale took Nicole because he had to come here, I think.
I heard about this because I took Nicole.
She was fine.
Yes, and so she, she generally does cry
if I drop her off, like she gets emotional.
So I was prepared for that.
But she cried in the house right after y'all left.
She cried twice in the car.
She cried in the office when I'm checking her in.
The lady like walked her back and she was just in tears.
I'm like, this pork child just did not do well
with being late and her teacher even emailed me
and said I'm handling her with care today
because she's very sad.
I wonder if when she's with me,
because I take her to school every day.
I wonder if she's, when she's with me,
she does want to cry, but she doesn't.
She doesn't cry in front of me as much.
And when she rides with you, she feels like this.
She can have her emotions.
She can be vulnerable and cry.
Right.
And I'm sure she's riding to school every day
with me back there going and feeling miserable,
like wanting to cry, but not doing it.
I hope not.
I hate that thought.
Well, I don't think so.
I think she was tired and we had gotten up early
and the whole process was different.
She was just like a little out of sorts, but.
But I asked you, I was like,
had you ever skipped school before
back when you were young?
No.
You said you did.
I said I have never skipped school.
You never skipped a day.
I never even considered sipping school.
I never considered it.
I wasn't about to do something that dumb and get caught.
That's the thing.
I never wanted to get caught.
I'm not trying to answer to anybody
for doing something stupid,
unless it's like an accident, right?
Like I'll own up to that.
I'm gonna tell you.
I did sneak out of the house a few times,
but I'll, they never got caught.
You skipped school, you're gonna get caught
first period.
You're gonna get caught.
You never, you got caught skipping out of the house?
No.
No, I never got caught doing anything bad.
I did plenty of stupid things,
but skipping school is something
you're gonna get caught doing.
I never snuck out of the house
because we didn't live anywhere.
We lived too far out.
Yeah, to do that.
Nowhere to sneak to, you know?
Yeah.
I didn't, I lived in one
of those like Sandlot neighborhoods.
I had two skipping school stories, okay?
And one's really short with Kelly.
Kelly skipped school.
She had.
Is this like high school?
Yep.
She was a senior.
And I must have been in the 10th grade.
She had a 1987 Monte Carlo with the Fastback bad-ass car.
And I didn't appreciate it then,
but it's bad-ass today.
She wrecked it and had borrowed a Beretta,
which was a bad-ass car, Chevy Beretta,
and driving it around.
She skipped school and drives this Beretta.
She ran into back of somebody.
Damn.
While skipping school, so now she's wrecked the Beretta.
I'm in school and they called me to the principal's office,
and I have no clue why.
And I'm not getting trouble.
Yeah, you're like terrified now.
I'm like, what in the hell?
Yeah.
They called me to the principal's office
and I go up to the principal's office
and they said, your sister's out front needs to talk to you.
And I was like, this is not making sense
while she's in school.
Why is she out front?
What do you mean she's out front?
What is going on?
Something bad's happened.
Something serious.
What is going on?
Right.
So I go out, I mean, right out front of the school,
right through the doors,
and there's the Beretta parked at the street
in front of the school.
And Kelly's like, I don't know what to do.
I wrecked the Beretta.
And I'm like, you're skipping school?
She's like, yes.
And I was like, what is going on?
Why?
Yeah.
You're skipping school.
I was like, I'm jealous.
And it's bulls***.
You dumb ass.
We tell each other everything.
You didn't tell me you're skipping school.
Like I had no idea.
And I'm like, man, I don't know what to tell you.
I mean, what do you do?
Right, you're going to have to go through the consequences
of this one.
And that was a bad influence because I now
want to skip school.
Really?
Now the idea is planted.
Now I'm like, hey, she can do it.
And she's a great student.
She's well respected in her class.
And here she is skipping school.
And she's going to totally breeze through it and be fine.
And I'll skip too.
And so I got with some buddies of mine.
What a follower.
I'm like, I got with some buddies of mine.
I'm like, y'all want to skip school?
And they're like, yeah.
Oh no.
And I'm like, let's do it.
We're going to go all the way up.
So Statesville used to have a really great mall.
And I'm like, let's just go to the Statesville Mall,
hang out all day.
And so we go, we skip school and drove to the Statesville
Mall.
And we feel like we're up there.
No one's ever going to know.
You don't feel like a criminal?
No.
Oh, you felt free.
Like you felt like you were.
Was your freedom right?
Yeah, you're like, this is great.
They don't know where we are.
They don't think we're sick or whatever.
Meanwhile, you're in public at the mall.
Yeah, but we're in Statesville.
We might as well been in freaking New York City
or we go to Florida.
For us, we were a long ways from home in our minds.
We're 16 years old.
We're like, dude, we're 20 minutes up the road.
Nobody's ever going to see us.
And so we hung out at the mall, you know, and we ate.
And we went and looked at the CDs.
And we went in a couple more stores.
And then like it's 10 o'clock.
And we're like, kind of bored.
This is at 10 AM.
Yeah, I'm kind of, what are we going to do now?
And so we drive and we get in the trucks
and we're driving around in the parking lot just being
idiots.
Like doing donuts?
No, just driving.
We're just driving around.
And I saw a traffic cone.
And I said to my buddy, I said, hey,
I'm going to drive by that traffic cone.
We're in the backside of the mall, empty parking lot
for the most part.
I was like, I'm going to drive by that thing on your side.
I want you to grab it and just throw it
in the bed of the truck.
We're going to be going about 20 mile an hour.
Just quick movement, boom, boom, boom.
He does it.
And we're driving around the rest of the day.
And I get home.
And I'm like, what the hell am I going to do this?
In my mind, I was going to put it in my bedroom.
I'm like, where my dad is going to see that?
Yeah, so dad's going to figure it out.
So I take it.
We had these pine trees in the lot next to us was empty.
And it was pine trees down both sides of that lot.
And there was tons of pine needles.
And so I go out into that lot and I take that orange cone
and I bury it under these pine needles.
And I'm like, there it is.
I'm hiding it for now, right?
I don't know what I'm going to do with it.
Dad finds it literally like the next day.
I don't know how he, I don't know why he was down there for.
Maybe he saw me.
He probably saw it, probably saw me doing it.
But I'm like, he'll never see it.
And he finds it.
And he's like, hey man, found this cone.
What the hell are you stealing cones for?
Yeah.
I mean, you know, this is illegal.
Where'd you get this?
And he's like, where, where were you?
And I was like, hmm, safe from all.
He's like, when did you go to the safe from all?
I was like, yesterday.
He's like, when?
I was like, morning?
He's like, you didn't go to school?
I was like, no.
I was like, he's like, take it back.
Make me drive all the way up there and put it back.
Shamefully.
And that was my one day I skipped.
That's not too bad of a punishment, to be honest.
Just a little shame.
I'm surprised you didn't get more trouble than that.
I'm also shocked that your sister
wrecked two cars back to back like that.
I was too.
Is that the only wreck she got in?
I don't think so.
No.
No.
Probably not.
I had a couple of traffic accidents.
Yeah, I know about yours.
I flipped my pickup truck, flipped it big time.
I think we talked about that on the show.
The other time, so I was with a friend of mine
and I was in an extended cab, brown two-tone,
no-carpet, crappy truck.
My dad got me for graduating high school.
And I was mad.
I say crappy because, I mean, I was lucky to have a car,
but my dad took my STN that I loved
and he just didn't even tell me he was doing it.
One day my STN was there and the next day it was gone
and now there's this farm truck.
And I'm like, dad.
Why?
Why, God, why?
And he's like, got you a truck, extended cab
and it had no carpet.
It was just rubber mats.
Did he think he was doing you a favor?
And it was brown, two-tone brown,
like a tan than dark brown.
Tan and taupe.
Gross.
I mean, I was cool with my STN.
I loved it.
And this truck's two-tone brown trucks sucked.
And so anyways, we were driving, me and my friend,
I don't know what the hell we were doing.
I don't know why we were way up there,
but we were way down there.
We were in Concord next to the Sharper Speedway
and we had been messing around in Harrisburg
or something.
I mean, I'm probably only 18, 19 years old.
And I said, we're driving down the road.
And I said, hey, I'm gonna show you where my granddaddy lives.
It's dark.
It's like 10, 11 o'clock at night.
And I had, my granddaddy lives off this road
right next to the Sharper Speedway.
And Kenny Schrader owns the house now.
But I turn off this road and I'm like,
there's granddaddy's house from Robert G,
my mom's dad on my mom's side.
And I'd never been past his driveway, right?
We went there, turned into the driveway
and would leave all my life.
Never knew what was beyond that point.
And so I drive past it and I'm talking to him
about all the cool things we used to do there
and came up like running 50 miles an hour,
45 miles an hour on a absolute 90 degree left-hand turn.
Holy s***.
And I, and it's got those signs on the side of the road
that have the arrow telling you to freaking,
like your ass is going left.
Is your buddy not going, hey man, slow down.
No, we're just talking, I mean,
we're going off the road wide open.
And I turned the wheel and I stood on the gas
wide ass open and turned sideways and slid,
I slid off the road like in a dirt track.
And I took out these arrows that are pointing
or like one, two, three, four.
And we just, we went right over the top of them.
Bam, bam, bam, bam, bam.
Like an ice, like a, like a snow,
like somebody snow skiing going over the clip
in the, clip in the flags.
Yeah, we're like, plop, plop, plop, plop.
Oh, not the moguls, the other flags.
And so we go, clink, clink, clink, clink.
And I get her straightened out
and get back up on the road.
And I was like, holy s*** out.
Woo, you know, we're both like shaking.
And I'm like, man, we ran over the signs.
Let's take a look at it.
We pull, we get down the road a little bit
and we pull over, get out and I'm, look down.
There's no damage really to the side of the truck,
but I have slashed both rear tires.
Holy s***, tonight you're stuck.
Yeah.
And so that was, that was the,
that was the other kind of accident that I had.
I never heard that story.
Yeah.
I've heard the rest of them.
That was a wild one, yeah.
I think that's the only time I've crashed.
I feel like you're...
Oh!
I hear...
Your life is a series of crashes.
I had a 65 MPa, I got T-boned at a red light.
I was going through, had the green
and a lady come wide open and drove into the door
and T-boned my car.
I had a couple buddies with me, nobody was hurt,
but she hit us hard going 35 mile an hour.
Goodness gracious.
She never saw the red light,
but you know, older lady and everybody was fine.
I took that car and quartered it.
So we took, we cut the car in half
and the, and we cut it up front in half.
And then the back hat, we took that whole back off.
We got a donor car and I rebuilt,
I still have it, that blue, blue 65.
It's been in my family since it was...
Forever.
So that car, we had to cut 25% of it off
and put it back together.
Probably wasn't worth doing, but yeah.
But I don't know how to think about it.
I've probably been in more crashes.
We are excited for asking me a session
and all your questions.
What do you have, Travis?
All right, so the first question comes from Tiffany
and she says that she's going on a girl's trip
to Key West and she wants to know,
what's the correct number of nights
that they should go down there for?
Sorry?
Okay, Key West, in my opinion, if it's a girl's trip,
you can have more nights than if you're with boys.
Sorry.
And the reason for that is you know when to go to sleep.
So like you go down there for four or five nights
and have a couple of like, we're gonna like party
but like have a good dinner and go to bed.
Boys don't let you do that.
They'll rip still two or three in the morning in Key West.
And so like, you blow your motor way faster.
Is that the right way to put it?
That's a great word.
We were trying to talk about code.
Blow your motor.
Blow your motor.
Yeah, so we're gonna have a Key West girl's trip.
I will have one coming up.
One of my friends is turning 40.
And so we're having a trip down there for her.
And so we're gonna go for,
I got one coming up.
I think just three nights, maybe four.
Yes, so honestly, if it's a girl's trip,
I'd say four is a good number, like a long weekend.
Yeah.
There's lots to do.
Then you can plan some different things.
You don't feel like you're-
100%.
Don't just stay in town.
Get out on the water.
Do some things like also that the boys don't wanna do.
That will extend your trip
and like give you more of a vibe for the island, I think.
But I mean, you could stay down there
as long as you want as long as you're a pirate.
You can stay down there.
You want a Key West?
Yeah.
What's your favorite Key West spots?
Favorite Key West spots.
I love-
Everybody always asks this.
So to eat, I love the raw bar
because we like the buffalo shrimp.
It's right in the marina.
The scene's just nice and-
He eats the oysters like he's,
it's gonna be his last meal
and he only has two minutes to get it done.
He does.
It's repressive.
He'll order a dozen oysters
and then order another dozen.
He's sat there and eating-
Best buffalo shrimp I've ever had.
Best buffalo shrimp.
Dude, it's insane.
You have to go to Blue Heaven
if you're gonna go down there
just because it's like a landmark.
You sit outside.
Food's great.
You can't make a reservation
so be prepared to stay right.
Foods are heavy but it's supposed to be the best.
Yeah, they have brunch as well
so you could brunch there and then move on.
It's real food, not like-
It's not bar food.
It's real food.
And they have great key lime pie.
As far as bars, we love Bobby's
because we like to sing karaoke.
Bobby's Monkey Bar.
Bobby's Monkey Bar.
Amigos, tacos.
You can sit on the rail and people watch that.
Great marks.
It's like the main square in downtown
where there's this corner of just-
It's right across from Captain Tony's.
Right across from Captain Tony's
which is also a landmark.
You have to be careful with their salsa there though.
Did it light you on fire?
Your salsa is like your boy, hot.
Blew us up.
Damn.
Did not know it was gonna be that hot.
It is so hot.
They have good margaritas too.
Hanks is good.
Hanks is good.
So, I'm gonna tell this.
So-
What did you do?
Nothing.
Just so you know, we as a company
are trying to do a end of year show
and it will be like a one to two hour show
and it will mix all of our hosts
and in Key West.
So, the last race of the year is at Homestead.
So, race Homestead, go over Monday to Hanks
and do it on Hanks' live stage at like noon.
You know-
Really?
Yeah.
Well, that sounds fun.
Like an afternoon,
because they're gonna want their live music
on the stage at night.
We're not gonna try to muscle in there probably.
But I don't think Hanks
even knows we're gonna approach them yet.
They don't.
But it could be anywhere.
Do you think that space is big enough?
Yeah, we're just gonna do a live show,
three or four guests,
I mean, three or four hosts,
maybe Freddie, me, I mean, you if you wanted.
And you don't have to be up there the whole time.
But we do like, you know,
we do sort of a end of season celebration
of everything that's happened that year
and close out the year.
Okay.
And we'll, Hanks will be my preference,
but it could happen anywhere.
And so we're trying to put it together.
I love that idea.
Has Mike approved this?
Yeah, Mike and Tiff have.
Whoa.
Well, they haven't.
That's the stuff in the right direction.
They haven't really said they approved it yet.
This is Dale doing Dale things.
Yes or no, buddy.
They've nodded in approval.
They haven't verbalized it.
The budget hasn't been approved,
but they like the idea.
I got it.
But I think it'd be a lot of fun.
And if we get up ahead of it
and start promoting it in the summer.
If we just book the house and make the plans.
Well, fans can say,
you know what, I'm in town for the race.
I'll extend my trip to Monday
to go down to Key West and see this live.
So we'll get our genuine audience
that don't want to really listen to us.
Oh, so that's a great idea.
Instead of just the walk-ups in Key West
that are there for tourism going,
what the hell is this going on?
Are these jabronis babbling around?
What are they talking about?
What's the bar that has the touch tunes
that Amy hijacked?
Oh, Mary Ellen's.
Yes, Mary Ellen's is so awesome.
That's a good one.
Do you like Mary Ellen's?
I like Mary Ellen's.
So that's inside too.
When you get to Key West and you get super hot,
go to Mary Ellen's.
They have great food.
Great air conditioner.
Great air conditioner
and bartender in there is really great too.
But yeah, there's lots of good fun places to go hang out.
It's the next question.
I think this will run right in
with what we're talking about here,
but it comes from Tim.
You're hungover.
What's your go-to breakfast sandwich?
Bread, protein, cheese.
Kind of what's your go-to sandwich?
Honestly, when I'm hungover,
I kind of don't eat breakfast
because I'm scared to put too much in there.
I don't know.
I like...
I like cheeseburger.
I like a burrito, like Mexican food,
like bean egg cheese.
That's what I grew up eating.
I love that.
If I can eat anything from Taco Bell
when I'm hungover, I'm very excited.
That's when if you talk about the night before
you order enough so you know you're gonna have leftovers.
I've never had leftover Taco Bell.
Really?
No.
Also, I feel like if I over order a Taco Bell,
I feel like I can always stick it all in there.
Like I can always eat all.
I got room for one more bite.
What is your go-to hungover?
Greasy, yeah.
French fries are always good too.
I mean, sausage or bacon, egg, and cheese,
biscuit is gonna do it.
A biscuit?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Simple.
Gotcha.
What about yours?
I'm a bacon, egg, and cheese
on like a Asiago cheese bagel or something like that.
That is so specific.
Or like a jalapeno cheddar bacon,
or a jalapeno cheddar bagel.
So do you pre-plan like you were just saying
and have that ready for the fridge?
If you know you're going out,
like you're probably gonna be hungover?
No, because I prefer if I can get it like.
Super fresh.
Yeah, especially if you get a place that's like fresh.
Like there's Lyndon Bakery here in Moorsville.
Yeah, it's so good.
Their bagels are made so like the next morning it's perfect.
But if you know you're getting Taco Bell the night
before like an extra T-Squadita crunch
is never gonna hurt.
It's not gonna hurt you.
No, yeah.
Next question comes from Doug.
Is there a pet you wouldn't let the girls get?
Yes, I don't want anything that has a cage
that they have to keep in their room
like a hamster or a snake or a lizard.
Madeleine Majors had a bearded dragon and it was cool.
But she had to feed it live bugs with tweezers.
And I'm like, that's where we start.
That's where we stop.
We're not having extra critters to feed the critter.
So like a snake, we have to feed it mice.
No, I've always been asking for all these things.
Yeah, she wants a critter to keep in her room.
And I think I can't do it when I was little.
My sister had a hamster.
Rest in peace.
Well, yeah, we've heard about that didn't work out well.
Well, it never does.
I mean, that's right.
It does hamsters are pretty fragile.
And yeah, if you're not on top of things, they.
It goes south fast goes south.
I had a fish tank in my room as a kid
and that was a lot to take care of.
We have a fish tank now.
And we've had one since we we've had the house.
And I've tried to tell Amy, I'm like, I'm kind of ready
if you want to get rid of it.
And this space of the house is like right in the middle of the house.
And this whole part was designed around the fact
that Dale had to have a fish tank.
Oh, yeah. So like, no, we're keeping this.
You're going to have to deal with the fish back in the Cribs days.
You know, everybody had fish tanks.
So like, you know, we'll have fish tank.
That was like the centerpiece, like the showcase.
Like, yeah, yeah, it is in the center of our house.
Yeah, fish tank was a sign of, you know, status.
Yeah. But now I'm like, well, the kids love it.
Let's just get rid of it. But she's like, nope.
No, we're not going to look.
It's too much to undo.
I watch Southern Charmin.
There's a person on there that has a snake
and they showed her like frozen mice and like that.
And she had the mice had to fall out to feed it.
Which is gnarly.
Like I can't do that. Hard no.
No.
So anything, anything fuzzy that we can hold, I'm down with.
OK, bunnies, goats, cats,
but our caged animals.
I know, but you can.
It's not like I had a rabbit in the house.
You did in the house.
Yes, in a cage in the house.
They're loud.
They don't sleep at night.
They're nocturnal.
So like, you don't hear crap all day long.
You turn the lights out and all of a sudden
that thing starts running laps in the cage
before in the morning.
And you're like, what's the deal?
Well, my bunnies stayed outside.
He had a cage outside on the porch.
Well, we have a barn we could put a bunny in.
I had a cage.
I had a I had a bunny back when I worked
in dealerships, changing oil.
And one of the other mechanics was moving to California.
And he took the bunny.
I was like, man, you want to take this bunny?
I don't want to.
So how about parting?
Like, yeah, I'll take it.
I'll take the bunny.
What was the bunny's name?
Probably buddy or dude or something.
Everything was buddy.
Everything's buddy.
Buddy or cus.
I ain't trying to name.
I ain't trying to remember names.
I'll just call you what I'm going to call my friends.
Hey, what's up, dude?
I had a cat named dude.
I had a cat named dude.
I had a cat named buddy.
I had a cat named cus.
All of the did they respond to it?
All the terms of endearment.
They did they respond to it.
That was their name.
Yeah. Yes.
OK, just checking.
Well, yeah, that was their names.
What I could understand if a cat wouldn't respond to cus.
Come on, cus.
I'm up here because because.
Last question, speaking of Cribs, a couple of people
had this question is, Amy, what did you think of Dale's MTV
Cribs house?
I actually walked through the last one before we tore it down.
And the Cribs videos are just funny.
The what he chooses to highlight or talk about
and the way he describes things is still like I love the way
he describes things and his analogies and like the way he pronounces words.
So it's just fun to look back on it.
But they always the opening of the fridge
was my favorite part of any Cribs episode.
I wanted to see what was in the fridge.
And so like I don't remember what you had in yours.
But people always had like water bottles and crystal
and everything was like we had crystal lined up perfectly.
I think we went and bought some just because everybody had it.
Yeah, like we'd never drank it in our lives.
Yeah, we'll get some crystal and we had a bunch of blood in there.
I can't remember though.
I can't remember either.
I actually did get to walk through the house
though before he tore it down.
I mean, it was it was cool.
A lot of the same items are still in our house now.
We still have some of the furniture.
I had a purple and orange couch.
Remember that?
Yes.
That was in the Dirty Momentia studio at one point for a while.
Red hammerhead.
Yeah, it's pretty.
I feel like Dale's had a whole other life before he met me.
This is like I had blue shag carpet.
Yeah.
In his bedroom.
Like five inch tall, four inch tall shag carpet.
I love shag carpet.
He took that Elvis thing real serious.
Yeah.
Why do you like shag carpet?
It feels good on your feet.
Like walking on a cloud.
Next question.
We're still live here, pal.
I know.
I actually forgot we were live.
Let's go hold on a second.
Dale Travis.
All right, we'll do, we got time for one more question.
Tina wants to know, have you guys been watching the Olympics
and any sports Amy that you like to watch for Winter Olympics?
For whatever reason, I've been watching more of curling
than anything.
The curling has been on the television when I sit.
I've watched some of the clips of the ice skating
which I love.
Some drama in the curling with the cheating.
Yeah, that one guy pushing it with his finger
and then screaming about it.
I didn't touch it.
He totally cheated.
And then the female team of the same country did the same thing.
Did the same thing?
Yeah, Canada.
The Canadians are cheaters?
Yeah, I can't trust them.
Wow.
I wouldn't have, I wouldn't have pinned that.
I was, I bet on Canada to win a hockey game
and they came through yesterday.
That's the other thing.
He had his app out and he was betting on the Olympics.
And I was like, I feel like that's the one thing
you shouldn't be able to bet on.
Like it's not like a typical sport.
No, that's the one thing you should be.
She thinks the Olympics are too pure.
I feel like it's a celebration of like,
of these athletes that are extremely elite
and that's not like a typical season of stuff
that you should be able to bet on.
I know, I'm popular with them.
I get it, I've got little odd, quirky sort of,
you know, principles too.
I love watching the ice skating though.
One of the girls that performed to Madonna
got a video from Madonna
and I saw her post about that.
So that was pretty cool.
She's like celebrating her.
So it's fun.
She did a flip, a figure skater.
Yes.
Ah, yes, all that.
That's insane.
I have a hard time pronouncing his name.
Ian?
Gideon?
Yes, so it's his name is hard to pronounce.
But his routine is insane.
So he won on Magic.
Oh yeah, he took the gold home, for sure.
But the thing is that flip doesn't actually count
towards his score.
It was just flex.
It's just to say, look what I can do and you can't do.
The first time I saw the clip of it,
he did it and landed on one foot and air best side of it.
I was like, wow.
And he won out of it?
He won the team, but then he completely fell apart
when he did his next one.
No.
Like four times.
Really?
Yeah.
He came in like eight or nine times.
Bless him.
It was awesome though watching it.
That was so cool.
I like the racing on the skates, the speed skating,
the short track, and the big track stuff too.
Did you see Colin Yost do the bobsled?
No, I saw Jason Kelsey.
Did he skeleton?
Did the what?
The skeleton where you lay down on the thing, go hit first.
Oh, shoot.
I didn't see that.
I saw Colin Yost's video doing the bobsled.
He was riding along with one of the athletes.
And his rendition of what his life felt like was amazing.
He was like, I thought it was going to die.
I need to look it up where Flavor Flav did the skeleton.
So he's riding by himself?
Yeah, I think he really did it.
And they said he went like 60, 66 miles an hour.
That's got to be terrifying.
I think that's cool when they let regular people do
the things with athletes because it lets you really understand
how hard it is.
Not that he's just anyone, but I mean,
he had to have done a little training or prep, yeah, for sure.
Flavor Flav does a lot for the Olympics.
I didn't know you could just show up and go, hey man,
send me down the thing.
Send me down the thing.
Well, Flavor Flav does a lot of stuff for the Olympics
and getting these athletes paid and stuff.
So it makes sense.
I think around here you can do curling.
There's a place here in Charlotte.
Is it at Joey's ice skating rink?
Curling's like a bar game, just on ice.
Now Dale thinks you can do it.
Well, I mean, it's like shuffleboard.
It is similar, but it's harder because you're
trying to slide on ice.
People drink beer when they go.
This place you can, in Charlotte, you can drink beer and do curling.
Have you done it?
I know, but I want to.
I mean, it sounds like a good challenge.
Maybe we should go.
I'm no interest in doing that.
Wait, you just said you thought it would be easy.
There it is.
Flavor Flav.
But yeah, so...
This TV, this thing's sucky.
There it is, come on.
Well, the viewers can't see it either, so.
I know, well, I don't see it.
I mean, I do care about the viewers, but...
We'll watch it later.
We'll watch it later.
Look it up.
Everyone, look it up.
Things trying to think right now
because they're eating that garbage.
This is the most awkward live, as Amy ever...
It's not awkward.
It's honest and authentic.
Okay, we were excited about all the awkwardness, clearly.

About this episode
Dale Jr. and Amy dive into the surprising resurgence of trading cards, especially sports cards, exploring how the market has shifted from the overproduced 'junk wax' era to today's limited, autographed, and collectible cards. They discuss the emotional rollercoaster of investing in rookie cards, share personal collecting stories, and highlight notable sales like John Riggins' Super Bowl jersey. The conversation also touches on the social aspect of opening packs with friends and the evolving value of cards tied to player performance and nostalgia.
Original notes
Dale’s dipping his toe into the world of sports trading cards… and Amy’s already bracing for a full-blown obsession. The Drink of the Week doesn’t win Dale over (unless it’s extra dirty), and a new slang term making the rounds in their friend group sparks some unexpected self-reflection, and maybe calls a few people out.
They also address the 2027 Daytona 500 rumors and recap their Disney Cruise, complete with a Haunted Mansion bar and a Medusa moment that got a little too real, and a few teenage decisions involving skipped school and questionable judgment that absolutely would not hold up today.
In #AskAmy, they debate the ideal number of nights in Key West, the go-to hangover breakfast, pets their kids will never be allowed to have, and take a trip down memory lane to Dale’s MTV Cribs house.
