About this episode
A sponsor read kicks things off, then the conversation drifts into studio life, weekend plans, and a “drink of the week” built around Red Bull Sudachi. The tone turns to responsibility during race weekends, followed by a surprisingly chaotic boat-cleaning story that ends in a dock-to-boat accident. The episode’s centerpiece is a swarm of “15,000 bees” clustering on a hollow post, with a beekeeper checking for the queen. It closes with Met Gala talk and a big Fan Day announcement at Junior Motor Sports.

Welcome to Bless Your 'Hardt, where Dale and Amy spend some time talking about their INTERESTING week. Between a disastrous attempt at cleaning the boat, a less-than-smooth fall on the dock, and 15,000 bees suddenly taking over their porch, chaos keeps finding them. Amy questions Dale’s fashion choices, Dale defends his very specific beer philosophy, and somehow a conversation about Mother’s Day turns into debates about racing guilt and how Dale handles it. The episode also brings some surprisingly sweet moments as Dale and Amy talk about the girls, family life, and the little things that catch you off guard emotionally.
Then we switch into Ask Amy where they get into new Dirty Mo merch, a possible Jerky Boys jingle, and whether or not Dale would ever attend the Met Gala... (we think you can probably guess his answer to that one.) You’ve got one of those episodes that feels less like a podcast and more like hanging out with friends who have way too much going on.

“Space Wagon” doesn’t clearly match a single well-known car model. In the podcast, it sounds more like a nickname for a vehicle that’s being described in a fun, exaggerated way. Without more details, it’s hard to say exactly what car they mean.
“Space Wagon” isn’t a standard car model name in mainstream automotive listings, so in this podcast context it’s likely a nickname or a playful reference to a vehicle being described in a humorous or exaggerated way. It may be used to evoke an image of something unusual, futuristic, or “out of this world,” rather than pointing to a specific make and model. That’s why it’s mentioned alongside a surreal, story-like line.

The Jeep Wrangler is an SUV made for driving off-road, like on rough trails. People often modify them with extra parts to make them tougher or more capable. In the podcast, they’re talking about a specific Wrangler that’s been heavily changed.
The Jeep Wrangler is a rugged, off-road-focused SUV known for its simple, durable design and strong aftermarket support. In a podcast context, it’s the kind of vehicle people talk about when discussing modifications, durability, or specific examples of how a car has been “built up” over time. The mention of a “Wrangler” being heavily worked on fits that theme.

The following is a production of Dirty Mo Media.
Oh yeah, this is where it's going to be, girl.
We're going to hang out.
Open a bunch of jars.
You got big strong hands.
Are you suffering from high crack?
I'm working.
Working that mouth.
Hey guys, Dale and I are in the Dirty Mo Media Studio for another round of Bless Your Heart.
We've got a fun show for you guys today.
Let's get started.
You having a good morning?
Is your chair okay?
Oh no, the shoes and shirt don't match.
Shoes, shoes and pants.
Oh, shoes and a shirt don't match.
Send in a message.
I got a photo shoot for Pilot.
Yeah.
Later, Pilot, our gas station friends.
And so I was trying to dress regular, not like too matchy.
Trying to dress like a regular person.
What a concept.
Not like a goofball.
Is that hard for you?
Especially with the goofball.
Hard for me to look normal.
That came out of my mouth before you said goofball.
It's hard for me to dress boring.
Oh, boring?
Yeah, this is boring.
I think you look nice.
I know.
I like to look fun.
You like to look like you're about to have a good time with all your colors?
Yeah, here for a good time, not a long time.
Yeah, that's right.
Look, I'm 51, I dress like I'm 28.
Yeah, yeah.
No, you don't.
I don't.
I mean, we've gotten rid of a few 28-year-old vibe things.
We have a, our closet is bursting at scenes with clothes.
I got, I got 10 times more t-shirts than eight.
I'm like, Amy, go in there and just take out that you don't like.
She doesn't want to do it.
What do you deem like a 20-year-old?
She's like, I got enough damn clothes.
I got enough problems.
I know, I don't need to take care of yours also.
Look at my space.
Can you help me?
I don't, I will.
I don't want to wear anything that you don't like.
So I'm like, go on in there.
Take it out.
I don't give a s***.
I'm not like attached to any of my clothes.
Take it out.
Just throw it away.
And I'll just wear whatever's left.
Listen, I appreciate that openness, but I don't.
I wish I, I wish I did.
We just need to have a friend come in and help us.
Like a, you know, Christian, a stylist.
You got a friend.
There are people that do this.
I don't want to hurt you.
If I let your friends dress me, I'd be in slim pants.
I'd be in medium shirts.
And you'd look great.
I'd be in tight little button downs and tight, tight ass sleeves.
Yeah.
So here's the thing.
I don't go in his closet for that reason.
I don't know what fits in what doesn't.
I don't know what clings in what doesn't.
I don't know what mood you're going to be in that day.
I just want you to walk in there and go, oh, you ain't wearing this anymore.
This is ugly.
No more, no more shirts with dumb sayings on them.
This is coming out.
You know, I need the, I need somebody to do that for me because I can't.
Have you ever, Dale, had a shirt that you really love that Amy's like?
No.
Oh, of course.
Oh, all the time.
Yeah.
Of course.
He came out, he came downstairs the other day with a shirt and he had to ask me if he
thought I was, it was appropriate to wear it out today.
I'm like, if you have to ask that question, the answer is probably no.
I don't know.
I think it had the F word on it.
I have a couple shirts.
I have like five or six shirts to have the F word on them and I want to wear them so
bad.
Like today would be his mood day for an F T shirt.
It would have been great for the show.
You know, I want to wear that so bad, but I got kids and.
Yeah.
I like can read.
So that's part of the problem.
Yeah.
What does run and find out me and dad?
Yeah.
Well, I got one shirt that says polite as fuck.
I think that's great.
And it's not a petite writing either.
It's very bold.
I can only wear that kind of stuff in Key West.
Yeah.
Even then, you know, you get a photo with a with a person or.
Yeah.
It's you and then they read your shirt and they go.
What?
What's the deal?
Why are you wearing that?
I was a big fan a second ago.
Yeah.
Now I feel like I shouldn't should not approach.
I'm not supposed to.
Yeah.
Let's get into the drink of the week because Dale's already started drinking his and
he said it is delicious.
It is good.
Red Bull.
Yes.
We have a drink which is presented by high rock and we have a new Red Bull cocktail this
morning.
What's it called?
What's the new flavor called?
Sudachi.
Sudachi.
Sudachi.
Your tongue is getting in the way there.
Sudachi.
Sudachi.
There you go.
It's lime basically.
Yes.
It's freaking delicious.
It's delicious all on its own.
It's delicious mixed with the high rock.
So we've got the Red Bull Sudachi lime, one ounce of high rock vodka, one ounce of pineapple
juice and an ounce of fresh lime juice.
That is great.
Just mixed together in a glass and it is very refreshing.
Let me just tell you.
Is it so good?
Is this your favorite?
That is my new favorite mixed drink.
It is delicious.
Oh wow.
That is delicious.
Isn't it?
I mean it basically is kind of.
You can make like a martini out of that too and like forget the ice.
It tastes a lot.
Yeah.
It's got a little margarita vibe to it.
Very lime, very tart.
But light and.
Crisp.
Crisp.
Yep.
Pretty solid.
Checking boxes.
It's like the drink of the summer.
It's like the drink of the summer.
Absolutely.
And the color of the can is.
And the best part about it is.
It's giving you wings while you're drinking it.
You know, nobody even thinks about that part.
But that's really the best part.
You're elevated.
I want my motor to run all day long.
And that Red Bull will do it.
See what I mean people?
He's been drinking his already.
He's already tuned up.
Don't forget to check out highrockvodka.com to.
Boy, that is freaking delicious.
Even myself.
The summer edition.
Yeah.
Hopefully they make this all year long edition.
They should make it the Dale Jr.
The Dale Jr. flavor.
Dale duchy.
Little bit of jerky boys jerky and.
Holy moly.
Give me a get me on a boat.
Right.
Yeah.
Get me on a boat right now.
I might.
I was going to go to cars tour race Saturday.
God.
I'm really contemplating just sitting on the boat.
Oh my God.
The weather is supposed to be nice.

And it is delicious.
Don't forget to you must be 21 years or over and drink responsibly.
You got Mother's Day Sunday.
So you're gone all day and I'm gonna take care of the girls.
I'm pumped.
I'm excited for you.
I'm excited for me.
I'm gonna have some fun.
Oh yeah.
What's your plan?
Saturday.
I'm kind of.
Up in the air.
Are you really up in the air?
Kinda.
I need to go to.
So this is something, man, we need to talk about.
And Travis, you can get in on this, but.
As.
And I've talked about this before, but like as the owner of Jair is one of the owners
of junior motorsports.
Owner of a series, the car store owner of cars that are racing in that series.
Like I feel super, super guilty if I take a day off and don't if I'm on, if it's a weekend
and we're not doing something you have, if you haven't.
Like.
Organize something.
Organize something.
That gives me like an out.
That gives me like man, family first.
But if it's my idea, I feel guilty.
If it's like, you know, I'm going to stay home.
I'm going to go sit on a boat.
I feel super guilty.
Really?
Well, I should.
I don't.
I feel like that people look at it and go.
Do him.
Why isn't he?
He's got cars are probably going to win the race at the Glen.
Why isn't there the cars tours right over at a speedway?
Why is he?
Why is he not there?
You know, what if, what if the.
I know what you're saying.
They were hoping and expecting that you'll be there.
Not hoping or expecting, but not hoping, but like where is his priorities?
Oh, that's so wild.
I don't think that anybody's looking at you doing that.
I honestly think there's fans that do think that.
Yeah, really?
Yeah.
Now my, my rebuttal to that would be the season so long.
Like you can't ask an owner to play.
It's like it's a football where the owner goes to 16 games.
Right.
And he's, you know, this is different, but I do believe that fans want to see the
owner of the team that they root for to be there.
I do.
I think he's right.
I totally understand that.
I get that.
There's just so much more that goes into a race week and all of the other
businesses, like there's so much going on.
Yeah.
I get, I mean, that's, that's hard, especially when it starts getting warm
and the boats ready to rip and all the things.
Yeah.
And we don't get many weekends.
We don't.
Me and Amy, we might get to, we had one last week, which was rare where we got
to go hang out.
I didn't plan anything.
The weather was going to be nice and we just, we really enjoyed the nothingness.
Me and Amy went over to the boat or I went over to check on the boat and it was
nasty and I was like, dang.
He got himself all in a fit.
Got mad.
And me and her went to a hardware store, bought a bunch of stuff, went over there.
We washed the boat for about three and a half hours.
Yeah, we did.
And scrubbed and scrubbed and cleaned.
Scrubbed and scrubbed.
And so like there's, the pollen's really bad and it's just kind of stopped.
And then the spider webs get really bad.
Hang on.
Don't you get to that just yet.
Okay.
I got four injuries from a single incident.
You are your own injury.
You are your fault.
We went with all of our stuff and, you know, got in a, we didn't really like prepare our
brains as far as like, okay, let's start at the top and go to the bottom, which is
like probably what we should have done.
We started at the back of the boat, got everything wet.
And so we're, we're really doing it all backwards.
We did.
We did not plan this out.
That's why you start the shower with washing your hair.
Exactly.
He's pretty methodical, but we didn't go in with a method.
We just went in hard.
We just went hot, went in hot.
And so it was fine.
We were getting things done, but I'm, I'm trying to like hose down the deck and hose down
the, the marina walkways and everything because it's covered and stuff.
And so I fast step on that and I step on the boat.
I'm going to have like footprints all over the clean boat and, and Dale's getting mad
at me because I'm spraying him with water and I'm not spraying the boat down fast enough.
He's like, it's going to dry and then the spots and he's mad at my process, but we
don't have a process.
So like, I'm trying lightly just trying to help clean the boat and he's decided I am
not allowed to scrub anything.
I'm just going to hold the water.
He's like, no, I'm going to do all this hard work.
You just clean it behind me and then we'll be fine.
And then you just follow me with the water.
I'll scrub, then you just hose that off and let's just have a, it's just, it's not, oh
you're a girl and let me do the hard work.
It was more like, let's just have a plan.
You, you wet the spot, I clean the spot, you hose down the spot.
All of that's good in theory except that the water hose, especially with the pressure
you need for it to get where I need it to get is spraying all over him.
You know, that's fine.
But the hose had an adjuster that it could shoot, it could spray or it could shoot like,
it could hit like a freaking period, right?
And she had it screwed to where it was shooting.
I had it pretty small so that the pressure was the most.
Yeah.
It was hitting a very small amount of space and I'm like, man, you know, when you're,
when you're rinsing soap off of a flat surface, you kind of need to spray it.
Yeah.
Not like hit it directly with a beam and.
We needed a different nozzle.
A different nozzle.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So what we used was what was there.
We bought one at the store.
We bought a nozzle, but it didn't fit the hose.
So we didn't even try to put it on, but.
Well, the hose, the hose that we were using at the, the nozzle, at the joint,
at the post, whatever is it called?
You know what it's called.
Help me out.
I don't know, Amy.
We did have a plan.
We washed the side, then the floor.
We didn't f**k the top because I got a guy that's going to start taking care of this.
I'm like, let's not, it doesn't look bad.
Upstairs was fine for the most part.
I'm like, I got a guy.
He's going to start washing it once a month.
It's going to be very affordable and we'll just get it to where we can come back here
with the kids later tonight and spend the night and we busted our ass.
Figuratively and literally.
Well, listen.
And so I'm at the front of the boat.
I want to compliment you, me.
We did it.
We didn't get divorced.
We didn't even argue.
We didn't argue.
He's, he was getting real testy and like just getting chippy with me and I'm like, he,
I can tell he was, he's wanting me to read his mind.
I've seen this look before.
I had handed my dad the tools out of the toolbox.
There was nothing more character building than being the kids handing your dad the tools.
Hold the flashlight.
Hold the flashlight.
Give me your socket wrench.
I need, I need another boa.
I'm like, I have learned all the things and, and how to deal with a grown man because of
that.
And so I saw that look on his face.
I'm like, I'm just going to let this ride.
And I just looked at him at one point.
I was like, can I help you?
Can I start something else I can do the, you know, I'm just trying to help you.
And then he finally calmed down.
I was like, just tell me what you want me to do.
Not what you want me to do.
We've got to clean up good.
And so, uh, yeah, we got it cleaned.
But at, you know, at one point I'm still rinsing off the front of the boat and he's
at the back of the boat with his bucket.
And all of a sudden I hear his giant crash and I know that the buckets at least hit something.
But I have, I figured because I didn't hear any cuss words or anything, it went real silent
that he also fell.
And so I slowly came down the dock just to peek around the edge of the boat and he's
on his side and he's like trying to get it together.
I'm like, are you okay?
And he's like, he's not responding to me.
Whatever he's hit hurt so bad, he couldn't even speak.
And so, um, I don't know how it happened.
He didn't have any shoes on the back deck was wet and the deck on the boat was wet.
I was trying to get off from the dock to the boat.
I put my foot on the deck and it took off with his hands full of shit.
With a bucket full of water.
So I had, I probably had about 25 to 35 pounds of bucket.
You know, the bucket hit the water went down at the bottom of the lake.
Brand new bucket.
We just bought when he's laid out on the deck.
He's going down.
I did a full split.
My knee hit the floor.
I got a big ball on my knee swelled up.
His knee belched out.
It looks like a cat claw on his ass.
I got a big bruise on the inside of my bicep.
I got a bruise on my forearm too and I didn't even fall.
I got a big cat scratch, like something clawed up my ass there.
I'm like, when we looked at that later, I was like, how did that happen?
Like there are three holes, like something clawed you and just ran up your butt.
I bounced off of the railing of the boat and into a couple of boats and things.
So it was a nasty fall, but luckily.
It happened fast and loud though.
It was something.
So we just sat there for a minute and gathered ourselves.
We should lean on the water.
Humbling moment.
Well, I told Dale, I was like, listen, you got to get up and get your shit together.
If you die doing something stupid like this on a boat that said she said no.
If you end up in the water, everybody's going to think I killed you.
Like, get out.
Yeah.
You're suspect number one.
Yeah.
Did she push you?
Yeah.
I saw her.
She was not having a good time.
Headline, Amy and our had enough.
She said no.
He didn't listen.
So he went down.
Oh my gosh.
So we went and spent the night on the boat.
We had a great time.
Did you take it out?
No, we didn't.
It was just kind of late.
We got there too late.
That and the water is down about 56 foot at the lake.
So where we are on the pier, a little bit tight trying to get back up out of there,
but we could do it.
Yeah.
We should have taken the boat.
We got up the next day and the plan weather forecast was terrible.
So we just went home, ended up being sunny and nice.
But when we left, it was cold and cloudy and not that great.
Anyhow, Saturday, I'm still in a fence about what I want to do, man.
I should.
On that boat and just not care what anybody thinks.
I'm with you though.
Like I don't even like missing the shows that I produce.
Like I'm bad about taking time off because I don't want to like.
Hand it off to somebody else.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You might get Wally pipped like you never know.
I don't want to.
I get it.
I don't think I would drink a lot, but I don't want to feel bad Sunday.
I want to have fun Sunday with the girls.
Amy's going.
Yeah.
It's Mother's Day this weekend.
So he's planned another spa day for me, which Amy's like, it's Mother's Day.
I don't want to see y'all.
We've discussed this heavily.
Father's Day is the same.
Like what do you want to do on Father's Day?
Yes, it's your day.
And of course we want to honor you.
We can brunch any other time.
You don't want to go sit in some fancy damn brunch on Father's Day.
No.
Yeah.
So I feel like Mother's Day should be the same.
We just go to the spa and hang out and I like it because then it makes me go.
What do I want to do for Father's Day?
What can I do?
What should I do?
You signed up to work on Father's Day.
I did.
We'll be at the racetrack.
You...
So I get to do what I move my Father's Day to a day where...
Yeah, you're going to move your Father's Day.
The only difference is, you don't need to stress about them.

Should we tell them about the merch we get s***ing everywhere over here?
We're just going to wait till the end of the show, or what?
We can do it now.
Let's just do it now.
I think this is hilarious.
There's a new merch line.
Our team puts together the merch line.
Has anybody in the room had anything to do with this merch line?
Nope.
Anybody in here responsible for it?
Okay.
All right, so Dirty Mode Media comes up with a merch line every now and then,
and somebody got excited.
Somebody got excited.
Yep, somebody got excited.
Shop.dirtymodemedia.com.
That's where you can go check out all the s*** you have.
Shop.dirtymodemedia.com.
We've got things that Amy's designed.
We've got hats, all kinds of fun stuff.
I saw a lady's going to be wearing her Jugs hat this weekend.
Yes, the Jugs hats are still available.
There's nothing freaking cooler than seeing somebody say,
hey, going to the race this weekend, taking one of my favorite hats.
Amy designed it.
Amy came up with it from something,
you know, crazy story told on the show.
That s*** to me is cool as hell.
I think we need to do more hats.
We do need more hats.
We do need more hats.
We do need more hats.
As cool as it gets.
I love wearing hats with sayings.
I mean, obviously I do.
The one I have on is...
You've got a Gold Digger Hunt Club hat on.
Riley's latest.
I don't even know what that is.
So, you know, Mary and a Rich Man is,
you put yourself in a position to be the Gold Digger
and that just happens.
And so that happened to me quite a bit at first.
And so I think this is a fun...
It's really good he didn't die on the boat
if you're wearing that hat.
That's right.
Especially if he's not there.
You just say, I'm all...
I'm all wear proudly.
That's right.
I'm all wear it.
So, we have a new merch line.
You want to be sitting down when you hear this one.
Zero to freedom.
Zero to freedom.
Zero to freedom.
That's the line.
Zero to freedom.
We need some eagle sounds in the background.
Well, I got you some eagle wings.
You want to see some?
You will see this with the new designs.
There's an eagle theme here.
This one's very cool.
You like that?
I do like it.
I feel like this is a great shirt
and I like the color of it with the red, white, and blue.
And then the front's real simple.
It just has dirty mo.
We have tank tops.
You don't have to rip your sleeves off.
These come sleeveless.
We have ripped them for you.
And this one's a badass too.
I feel like...
I can't believe y'all didn't do this sooner.
I didn't see this one.
This is a stock car flag
and it's got little microphones for the stars.
This is so cool.
The Gen 6 car.
People love.
Oh, Lord have mercy.
What do you have?
I don't know what this is, man.
Wow.
This is a wild shirt.
You've got some tires, headphones,
spark plugs, hats, trucker hats.
That's a bring in it shirt.
Be your cans.
Be your cans, tires, and tires, and tires.
I feel like that should be your new boat shirt.
Yeah.
I mean, I think it's hilarious.
It is.
It's great.
In a good way.
But we've got all the different colors,
all different styles, and blah, blah, blah.
And we got some Richardson Dirty Mo Media hats
or just Dirty Mo hats.
I love a good rope hat.
Yeah, I'm not a rope hat guy.
But these are all right.
This is great.
Rope hat's probably good for the boat, I suppose.
I like that light blue color.
I like how it just says Dirty Mo
instead of Dirty Mo Media.
These are cool.
Yeah.
I think it should say Dirty Mo Media, in my opinion.
Nope.
People like...
It's something that insinuates something else.
It's really fun.
You might not like what Dirty Mo insinuates.
Well, don't start Googling it.
Just wear it.
Listen, Dirty Mo was all your idea.
Listen, it's a moniker towards the town of Moorsville.
You know, when you hit your hometown, right?
You talk s*** about your hometown.
It's got a nickname.
It's self-deprecating, possibly.
I came from V-town.
Right.
But you don't let anyone talk s*** about your town.
You can.
You can take digs, right?
About some things your town doesn't do or does do.
But nobody can talk s*** about your town.
Our town was Dirty Mo.
We were Dirty Mo.
That was the name.
That's when we were kids in school.
We all lived in the Dirty Mo.
You coming to the Dirty Mo?
Statesville?
Charlotte?
You coming up to the Dirty Mo?
You know, that was how we...
That was how...
That was your flex?
You were the Dirty Mo?
Yeah.
You better be careful around the Dirty Mo.
I love it.
And then there's K-town, Kanapolis.
K-town.
That's cool.
We were V-town because it was Victoria.
You can't really do anything.
It's just like...
My name is Lima, so...
Lima?
Like spelled like Lima, Peru.
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
So there's nothing there.
I mean, we could call it Dirty Lima.
I think Kanapolis is a bad a** town.
One said Rolling Stone, right?
Concord, North Carolina.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Concord, North Carolina.
Like, Concord.
What a cool name for a town.
I feel like Concord is not a cool name for a town.
No, because people mispronounce it.
Like, I don't think it's...
Concord?
Yeah.
Like, every time you get on the map, it just says Concord.
Kanapolis and Concord had a nasty rivalry.
Still do in, I imagine, in high school football.
You were just making this up.
No, I could see high school sports as a rivalry.
Concord, Spiders versus A.L. Brown.
Spiders.
Man.
I don't think I've ever heard of a school being Spiders.
Concord, Spiders.
Yeah.
A.L. Brown.
I'm A.L. Brown because we're from Kanapolis.
But Concord, Spiders, we had a little tough rivalry.
What's the Moorsville?
Moorsville Blue Devils.
Blue Devils.
And then we had the Red Imps for our JV, which I didn't like.
What's that?
Yeah.
It's a baby devil.
I didn't like that because you didn't want to be the baby anything.
You wanted to be...
The baddie.
The baddie, yeah.
The big baddie.
When I used to cover high school sports in Indiana, there was a school called Frankfurt.
They were the hot dogs.
That's amazing.
They are hot dogs.
It's better than like the Brots.
I had mine.
The Browers.
Speaking of high school football, I'm a big fan of Moorsville Blue Devils, right?
But way back in the day, not way back in the day, probably 2005, right?
I mean, it's the height of my racing career, right?
And right in the peak of NASCAR and Bud Bud and the 8 car and all that.
Everything's going great, right?
And I am getting excited about high school football and I drove...
They're getting ready for the season.
And I was talking to a buddy of mine.
I was like, man, I want to go to...
I want to go tell the coach how excited I am about the season.
I want to tell him.
You're going to go hype up the coach?
Yeah.
Speak to the team.
And they're like, just go over there.
He's always working on the field and stuff.
And so one afternoon, I don't know who was in the truck with me.
I had somebody with me, but I drove to the field.
We drove over to the high school down to the field and there he was, two or three of his
little assistants and him out there, sitting on the tractor doing something.
And I drove over there to be like, hey, man.
And I'm standing there and he looked at me and they just kept on going.
He totally blew me off.
Really?
Yeah.
I was like, dang.
That sucks.
I know it did.
Were you close enough for him to know it was you?
I don't think so.
It crushed me, man.
Crushed me.
I bet it did.
How do your ego probably really put you in a humble...
Served you a humble pie.
It's good every now and then.
Yes.
I think it's kind of funny.
Damn it.
But also, I would have been like, if I was standing with you, I'd have been like, excuse
me.
Well...
I mean, he wasn't working.
This was kind of right on the heels of the two-a-days where they had the show on MTV.
Love that show.
And I was like, you know, he's a high school football coach of a good program.
He thinks he's the baddest man in town.
He ain't got time for lunch either, does he?
He ain't got time for me.
He ain't got time for lunch.
He ain't got time for lunch.
He ain't got time for lunch.
So, Corey LaJoy takes me.
He's gonna be...
Man, he's like...
I love messing with him.
Corey LaJoy is a great dude.
Yeah.
He's very sweet.
I can't believe you said this to him.
You've probably heard his family.
Oh, I did not.
Well, he'll know that I didn't.
He goes, what's your week look like?
It's his today.
Yeah.
It's Thursday.
Yeah.
What's your week look like?
Could I ride over for lunch?
I'm like, God dang, who's got time for lunch?
Hold on.
It's Thursday, Corey.
Well, the week's almost over.
He goes, good point.
Next week.
So, we set up a date.
Just for reference, Dale is always getting us out to lunch.
And he likes lunch.
And he does eat lunch every single day.
But today, that text message just sent him into a tizzy.
And so, we were sitting here just joking with Dale about lunch.
Who's got time for lunch?
Who's got time for lunch?
What's because you eat so fast, probably?
Well, I don't like to eat.
I don't know.
He's usually scarfing down something here like sushi roll or something.
I eat a tuna roll from local sushi joint most every day for lunch here at Junior Merchbords.
Most days, three or 43 days out of the week.
And that's it.
Just that tuna roll.
And that's it.
And then, right around 3.30, I'll go down to the gift shop here and get me a bag of jerky boys.
Because it's only 160, no, it's 180 calories.
Three servings, one bag, 60 calories of serving.
So, that's like my middle of the afternoon snack.
And then, I'll eat another bag of that after dinner.
Dale doesn't like to eat big meals because he wants to be able to eat all day long.
I don't like to eat big meals so I can eat jerky boys.
Just eat all day.
Keeps the metabolism going.
It's so good.
I mean, I'm not just not this man's metabolism.
I'm not just trying to make a buck off a jerky.
This is the best.
And I eat it.
I love it.
Yeah.
Get you a sip.
I'm trying to drink less of the hierarchy.
More of the Red Bull so this doesn't go off the rails.
Speaking of off the rails, the kids are always fighting.
And usually, we're like trying to pull them off of each other.
And they're always arguing and bickering.
And I know that they're at that age where they're developmentally supposed to be doing that.
Quick disclaimer, if you got your tissues near, you might want to grab them, ladies and gentlemen.
Well, they're always doing that.
And we're usually frustrated with them.
But I went to breakfast at Isle School yesterday.
They had an author's breakfast.
They wrote a book.
So like this semester, they've been working on handwriting and writing chapters.
And so they wrote a book and it's all in her writing.
And so I took Nicole with me because Dale had to be here pretty early.
So she's with me in the classroom.
She's so excited to get to see Isle's class and all of her friends.
And she feels really big and excited about that.
So we get there and she's sitting in Isle's desk and looking through the things because it's like art and all kinds of stuff from the year.
And then Isle says, oh, Coley, I have a thing for you.
And so she pulls out this sheet that she has laminated and it's a dedication to her book.
And it's to Nicole.
She read it.
I read it first and I cried.
And I was like, I like you should probably read that to her because Nicole can't read anyway.
And she's like, she stands there and reads it to her.
I love my sister.
I'm dedicating my book to my sister Nicole, blah, blah, blah.
And Nicole gasps and covers her face.
She was so taken aback that she like didn't even know what to do with herself.
And then she put her head in my side.
She like had to hide from it.
She's like, I don't even know how to handle my emotions right now.
But she was so excited after that just to like do whatever Isle asked.
And so that was like small victory in the moment you feel like.
Huge moment.
It's not a small victory.
That's a big victory.
That's a core memory.
In a scheme of all the things happening, it feels like small victory.
They literally adore and love each other really.
And that was absolute proof.
But it was so cute that Nicole got to like watch Isle read that to her and do that.
That environment too.
That was really sweet.
In every situation, just about nine out of 10 times.
If I, if Coley asks for ice cream or a cookie or somebody, you know, or she's trying.
She's trying to get a stuffy or a little toy or whatever.
She's like, Hey, I would like that.
Can I get it?
Yes.
Oh, can I have another for my sister?
Yeah.
Every nine out of 10 times.
That's what Isle.
That's what Nicole does.
Our youngest Isle.
Never does it.
Never.
Never.
Doesn't think about.
If we have to, she's going to figure out where she can put the other one so she can hide
it from her sister.
She is not sharing.
She's not thinking about Nicole.
She doesn't think she doesn't think about her sister.
Doesn't think to get her sister the second thing, you know, or get, or pair it up and,
and, and get, and bring her sister one.
And so, um, which is interesting because Coley's the meaner one.
Coley's the one that's more.
And the younger one.
Yeah.
Coley's, Coley's the meaner one, but she's so thoughtful down in there.
She actually has real empathy in there.
She's just a stinker.
And I was sweet, but very, you know, just one, you know, thinking about her.
Yeah.
Me, me, me.
I want, I want.
Yeah.
And, um, so that was a great thing, man.
I was, I was, Amy showed me the little picture of the node and I was, I hate that I didn't
see it.
I hate that I wasn't there to see that for Coley because Coley has wanted that from Isla
for so long.
Yeah.
And, um.
The validation.
Yeah.
And it was probably great.
As good as it was for Coley to hear it, it was probably great for Isla to see how effective
that was.
Yes.
And, and.
So that's the thing too.
Isla did not expect me to cry.
Yeah.
Like it just, I didn't like ball, but I got teared.
And then Nicole's like gasp and was, Isla just looked at me like, oh wow.
Yeah.
Like, yes, she needs to know that you actually like her.
That's a cool thing.
It was.
It was very cool.

Can we tell them about our bees?
Bam!
Burn the house down.
There's another development.
Well, it's a good potential for burning the house down.
So I go outside earlier this week, beautiful day.
We leave the door open.
It's about the same temperature outside as it is inside.
We just kind of open up the house a little bit.
Kids are running around up front.
I just hung them with a new swing out in the tree and they were playing with that.
And Amy's sitting on the couch.
I had just come in from wherever I had been all day and I sat down.
Yes, she wasn't being lazy.
She was just hanging out on the couch, taking a little breather.
Well, that's important because I had just walked towards the sofa and looked towards
the back of the house.
The curtains are all open.
I come in from the front door after checking on the kids or doing something out there
with the girls.
And I look up and right over Amy's head on the back porch, the back of the living room
you see out into the backyard, the back porch.
It is 15,000 bees.
It was crazy.
Just like a blanket of darkness.
And they were all moving together.
It was so bizarre.
It felt biblical.
It was like you could feel the vibration.
You could hear the noise.
They were huddled around this post and Amy put a picture of it on social media.
I'd never seen a swarm like that.
And I'm thinking, you know, oh man, what is going on?
Why are they liking this post?
What is what is the deal?
So we stood there and they're there.
They're just going and going.
They're just it's a cloud and they're not like ebbing and flowing.
They're just like a big cloud, probably about 15, 10 to 15 foot wide, but you know, just
a big diameter of bees and just dark thick bees.
And then they're clustering and and and huddling up on this post in between them.
They're like, you know, there's just piles of bees like they're all over each other,
all over each other.
And I'm thinking they're absolutely going to build a nest.
They're figuring out how to get into this column because it's hollow.
Yeah, we knew that they are going to figure they're about to do this.
We just had these columns re stained.
We had the whole.
No, we hadn't rebuilt rebuilt staying.
We hadn't had that done since the house was built.
And because of the sun on the back of the house, they were in bad shape.
So we had them rebuilt just like a year ago.
Oh, man.
Yeah.
So somebody, you know, she puts the thing out, puts it on social media.
And of course we get everybody's opinion.
And everyone was a bee expert.
Everybody's a bee expert.
And the gist of it is basically, well, they all did Google or ask Chad.
Yeah.
Oh, God, that's funny.
The so he goes, that sounds like a situation.
Yeah.
The queen bee has come from wherever they're leaving, wherever they were,
they may be hibernating in a tree or something throughout the winter in the
ground, who knows, but they're coming out to start to build whatever nest
they're going to have throughout the summer.
And she had just rested on this post.
Yes.
Was most people's opinion.
Yes.
She just stopped on the post, take a breather and the guys, the worker bees
are all kind of protecting her.
We're going to protect her and we're going to hang out and see what the heck is
going on.
We've got some scouts out there looking for a nice place to live.
And so that's kind of what we hoped.
Sure enough, in three hours.
They were gone.
Five minutes, they started to disappear.
Like enough where they, it was visibly thinning out.
Yeah.
And so, and they're kind of flying around far enough away from the post now,
some of them where it felt like they might just be flying off the trees
everywhere.
So like we thought they were just finding another place to hang out.
And we didn't think anything of it.
Well, by the end of the night, they're gone, gone.
Yeah.
Completely gone.
Nothing.
You don't see any of them.
Well, the next morning, we're kind of seeing some, right?
There's a couple flying around.
A couple flying around.
And I love walks over there and goes, dad, they're coming out of the column
up there, right there.
You see?
She was wildly intrigued.
I walk over there and I'm like, damn, they are.
They're, they're coming out of the column, flying away, flying back in there
and climbing back in.
And so they found a way to get inside this column.
It wasn't sealed up properly.
So we call a beekeeper, a friend of ours.
And they come out there and we, they pry the column apart.
They were smoking them out.
She had her smoker with her and she was trying to smoke them out before they
tore the thing open.
They haven't been in there for a day and a half, which is not that long.
But when they were, they used to smoke for a while and they got some of them
out, but the queen, they never found her to be coming out.
They were looking for the queen.
They had the box.
They were going to put her in there because if you do that, then all the others
will get in the box.
So they had to, they had to bust open the column and try to smoke her out
that way, but they had already built three giant plates of the comb.
Like there were pieces of honeycomb in there already.
They built, they were 12, 10 and eight inches, two combs.
And so they, they took the combs out, put them in this nice and neat little
box.
They find the queen.
They put her in there.
They finally smoked her out.
They put the box.
They, they set the box there and the queen being in there with the rest of
the comb, all the bees are supposed to find it, right?
And hear her be, you know, drawn to that, which some did, but a lot didn't.
So the last 24 hours, the bees are like not really going into the box.
They're just kind of like wondering, where's the queen?
Uh, honeycomb's gone.
What's going on?
They're just kind of hanging out and, um, confused.
Confused.
So I'm getting in there, but not a lot.
She came, the beekeeper comes back, looks at the box.
Man, maybe we'd leave it here another day.
Okay.
That's cool.
And I think she's coming by today to get the rest of it, but.
The girls got to put like the whole drape and the mask and everything.
It was, if they were fascinated.
And it was neat because when she opened the box last night and saw that only
part of the bee colony was in there, she's like, that's alarming.
Like, where did they go?
And so she checked to make sure the queen was still there.
She was there.
But then she was like putting her ear against all the other columns.
There's like 12 columns on the back of the house.
And just to make sure they didn't migrate into another one.
And she's using all of her senses to try to figure that out.
And we're having Dale turn off all the water fountains on the pool.
It was a lot.
It was chaos.
Yeah.
I mean, it feels like, it feels like it's still going to be chaos because we
don't really know if the bees are in the box yet.
And all of this is probably happening right now, but.
Yeah.
She's supposed to come back this morning.
We opened up our column and there's that one single column now.
There may be some bees in some other parts of the house.
I don't know, but.
Who knows?
It was pretty cool.
I wouldn't use the word cool.
It was though.
It was cool.
You could walk out there.
They're not trying to attack you or anything.
They're just honeybees.
Yeah.
But the way that they came in.
It's fine.
The column, we can fix the column.
And we had to take it apart anyways because it wouldn't seal it up properly.
Well, now we have to do all of them.
Now we have to kind of do.
Well, I'm allergic to bees.
So I believe.
Oh, you are.
Yeah.
Well, that makes it totally different for you.
You can feel how you feel.
What the girls think.
They loved it.
They like put on their suits.
They had, she had netted masks for them.
They had clothes.
Oh, that's pretty cool.
Okay.
That is pretty cool.
They got to get fully dressed up and go outside and like watch the whole thing.
And she showed them the queen.
She showed them the honeycombs.
They got to touch everything.
And they.
It's like a science lesson.
Coincidentally, there's like this queen, this bee Netflix show.
There's guys, it's like a guy, it's very just educational about bees.
And they had been watching that.
They've been watching that a lot over the last couple of.
Couple of months.
So like I said, dad and watch pieces of it because it's pretty long.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But they're, they're fascinated by all of it.
So it's pretty, it was, it was a good book ending, I guess.
Yeah.
So you get to see them in person.
Hopefully, hopefully that's that.
Well, well, we don't, we're not sure.
They happened to our neighbors as well, like two days before.
And that was a different colony of bees because she also came to get them.
And so she, and she has them at her house.
So I don't know what's happening and why the bees are doing this.
Is this something that's just normal?
We're not sure.
But it's never happened at our house before.
Yeah.

Hey, y'all.
Dale and I are in the Dirty Moe Media Studio for another round of Ask Gaming.
We're excited for your questions.
What do you got?
The first question is, what were your thoughts on the Met Gala?
I always loved watching that red carpet and it did not disappoint this year.
It was different because it wasn't just about fashion.
I feel like everybody was a little focused on the fact that the Bezos family sponsored
it, so people were able to go that weren't typically allowed to go.
Oh, really?
I didn't know that.
You used to be very like, you had to be invited.
And a winner, right?
Yes.
Well, it's a charity gala.
So, yeah, Anna Wintour, sorry.
I thought you said Anna winner.
No, no.
She had to invite you, basically.
She had to invite you.
Yes.
So that just kind of set a different tone, but the outfits were amazing.
I mean, there were a lot of beautiful gowns, but there were a lot of what the hell is happening moment.
Like, why does Heidi Klum, one of the most beautiful women on the planet, have to dress
like it's Halloween on the Met Gala red carpet?
Did you see her outfit?
No?
She's dressed up like a Greek statue of sorts.
Oh, what is she doing to herself?
Heidi.
I mean, we could have done this look without going that far.
And she does love a costume because she's like always really overdone for Halloween and like,
it's very theatrical.
But that makes sense for Halloween.
I was just disappointed to see that for this.
I don't know.
Yeah, me too.
I don't give a s*** about this.
It does not.
I don't give a s*** about it.
I'm obsessed.
I don't care about all that.
I do think it was cool that Carson Hosevar was invited.
The Met was called NASCAR.
Wasn't the other way around.
You know, usually it's NASCAR like seeking out these opportunities.
But Carson, I called him.
I was like, hey, dude, you know, thought that was cool.
You did a great job.
Represented us well.
And I think, you know, going and being, look, does a NASCAR driver belong there?
Does he need to be there?
I mean, Jeff Gordon went in 2010, I think.
It is no matter what you think about it or how you feel about it.
If you get these opportunities to kind of be in a place where it's outside of our bubble
and people aren't going to expect to see you, it's really awesome.
Because Carson went there and acted like a NASCAR driver.
He acted like himself.
He behaved like himself.
He showed those folks and all the people watching a slice of our American pie.
You know, and I thought that was really great.
He did a good job.
I was very jealous.
But he told me, I thought that it was obviously something NASCAR sought, but nope.
Apparently they called to see if he would come.
That was sweet.
Yeah.
So I mean, it's nice to feel he liked that.
He felt, he's like, man, I felt good.
It made me feel confident to go because they wanted me there.
I immediately turned to Dale and was like, have you ever gone to the Met Gala?
Have you been invited to the Met Gala?
He's like, I didn't ask him if he was ever invited.
I asked him if he's ever been.
And he said, um, no, the opposite.
I asked if he was invited because I knew he hadn't been.
He's like, I didn't get him, but the prize in the bag.
I was like, have you, have you?
And he goes, I've never, I've never been.
I was like, that's not what I asked.
Have you been invited?
Cause he's turned down a lot of fun things, including like Saturday night live, like really
turned down some, but he said no.
If you could walk the red carpet of any award show or what was there one that you would
like, I'd love to go to.
I think that would be it.
The Met Gala.
Yeah.
Come on, Dale.
Why?
I mean, I would walk.
Just to watch everybody, you know what I mean?
Of course, like you can't compete with some of these designers and their outfits, but
it would be so fun just to see all that.
And you can't, no one knows what it looks like inside.
You're not allowed to have your phone.
So it's like a very prestigious, like cool thing to get to see and do.
I don't know.
Think about that.
It's right around mother's day every year, Dale.
Be a great gift for Amy.
I don't.
Travis.
I mean, as long as I don't have to go.
No.
Wow.
What?
Wow, what?
She wants you on her.
You know, I don't want to do that.
It would be for me.
You're doing it for others.
I'll send you with a buddy of your friend.
Your girlfriend.
Y'all can dress like that.
You can't even help this man.
You can't even help him.
Y'all can dress up.
Halloween.
And dress you up.
And we're going to go together.
That would be fun.
He's so mad.
Like, he's actually mad.
What do you think of Kendall Jenner's outfit?
Can we go to the next question?
Oh, is this asked to you?
I loved the dress except for what I perceived to be a skim's bra that they have made.
Y'all hang on.
Y'all hang with us, man.
Don't leave.
Oh my God.
Keep drinking, Ralph.
Don't leave us.
Hang on.
Zach Posen actually, Dale actually made a bodysuit of her body.
He molded a leather bodysuit of her body.
So that's what that is.
I don't know.
I get it.
I just, like, did we need to do that?
Yeah.
I'm tired of this skim's bra.
I think it's so stupid.
And I know that some people buy them because they want their nipples to show.
But most people wear a bra because they don't want their nipples to show.
All right.
You got my attention.
I'm back.
You're crazy.
All right.
One more fault.
This is another question we had with it is if you could sometimes have themes.
If you had a, if you could pick a theme for the Met Gala.
For the Mets?
Yeah.
That's car theme.
I wish hosts of our World of War is fire suit.
Oh my God.
Or we could just say motorsports racing.
Racing?
You think racing would be?
Racing Dale.
If we can get auto racing as the theme, will you go with Amy?
Sure.
All right.
How do we get that?
I'll just wear my old driving suit.
Oh yeah?
Why not?
If it's an auto racing theme, maybe I could take one of my old suits and turn it in,
my old driving suits and turn it into a suit.
Now I don't want you to go.
I was trying to play along.
I know you got to give Dale credit there.
He was actually starting to.
Hey, when?
Next question.
They said that they know you guys have some different animals.
Have you ever thought about getting chickens?
Oh man.
I thought heavily about it.
Yes.
We've talked about, we have this old playhouse in the backyard that used to be Kelly's
kids and it sat there for a while.
It needs some love.
And we've talked about even turning that into a chicken coop.
I'm scared.
Blaney's got chickens.
He told me we should.
Listen, I would love to have chickens.
I think the kids would be great with the chickens.
We could put them closer to the house and not.
He said that the eggs are amazing.
Well, we have farm fresh eggs that we get from friends.
He said they're better than that.
Well, let's get Blaney's eggs.
I don't want to have to deal with the snakes.
What?
We live out in the middle of the country.
They're black snakes, probably.
Do you want to go fetch eggs and get snake bit?
Do you want to do that?
The black snakes are good.
They'll still bite you.
They're fine.
I'll hurt you.
Okay.
Dale's down to have some snake egg situation.
I'm scared of that whole thing.
The chickens look cute.
I have saved so many coop pictures just in case.
But I feel like I'm just not ready for.
You got a little chicken coop Pinterest thing going on there.
Kind of.
Yeah.
Just in case.
Just in case.
I've got all my design plans laid out.
But I'm scared of.
Let's get this barn built.
Yeah.
We haven't finished the barn.
We start doing a chicken coop.
They have finally put in the doors on the back.
So we're going to be able to finish it up.
Yeah.
We were waiting on all that.
The doors and the windows and things.
Just the lead time was way more than we had.
I like the idea of building a chicken coop out of something we already had though.
Yeah.
Sure.
I mean, chickens don't need it to be.
Can you put a chicken coop in that red barn?
The old barn?
Like can you one of the side went and one of the tack room or something?
I'm sure we could.
Yeah.
We'll figure it out.
I think it'd be neat.
I'd rather have goats.
The little goats.
No.
They're so fun.
They are not fun.
They just butt into you and bite you.
What's fun about a goat?
We got to play with some goats last week.
I've had goats.
I know, but those were big.
They make them like they're smaller.
The bullies have them.
But what do you do with them?
They just play.
It's like having a dog.
But do you play with the goat?
Yeah.
You can play with them.
I'd rather have chickens for you.
And you can hold it.
It's eggs there.
Okay.
Jail's chicken coop.
We're not doing goats before chickens.
Really?
Okay.
Why don't we do chickens?
We can get eggs.
We eat eggs.
We eat eggs.
This would like have a functional.
You're not.
I'm not.
You're not lying.
I get you.
I don't.
I don't know.
I'm just kind of blown away that he was so passionate all of a sudden.
You're building a gigantic barn.
For the horses.
Yes, I know.
So like, what are we waiting on?
Why are we going to stop there?
Just open up a petting zoo.
Dr. Doolittle over here.
Oh, geez.
The Earnhardt petting zoo.
Yeah.
This next question, I think Dale, you're going to enjoy this one.
I tell you what.
We got Gus a few more years.
Yeah, Gus would kill a chicken.
No, no.
So once, you know, when Gus is riding that chariot to the sky, we will.
He's going to shuffle the chickens.
We'll get the chickens.
Yeah.
Okay.
All right.
This next question, Dale.
I think you're going to like, if jerky boys had a jingle, what would it be?
So jerky boys are saying is beef jerky done right.
Is it rock?
Is it poppy?
Is it old school jingle?
I don't know.
It's cool.
I think it's more like, um, no, it's probably not a jingle at all.
It's more like, um, beef jerky done right.
And there's like me slamming onto the table and there's like drums, like, like, like a
beat, like a beat.
Like a beat bass.
Yeah.
Like a boom.
Boom.
Boom.
Boom.
And there's like, uh, you know, the pet, you know, so on our beef jerky, you remember
when you used to go to a pizza hut and you'd have that little shaker with the peppers
in there?
Yeah.
Those little flakes.
Those are on our jerky and that's very nostalgic.
And so imagine like the meat slamming on the table and those things kind of flying
up in the air.
Go to social, go to our jerky boy social media.
I was just going to say that reminds me of the video you show me.
I'm going to tell a secret.
So they, we raced at Nashville a couple of weeks ago and I might not supposed to say
this, but we went to Nashville and raced.
Live Dale, just remember.
I know.
Well, I don't care.
Whatever.
Worst.
Worst thing can happen.
Um, we, we, um, we went and raced and we did a lot with jerky boys because jerky boys
is in Nashville.
That's where our little industry is.
Our facility.
And so, um, they put out a video on social media and go watch it on jerky boys.
Uh, social media.
Also follow, subscribe, all the good things.
Um, but they put out this video and I, I didn't know they were doing this.
I see it afterwards and I'm like, who the hell made this?
This is insane.
Like I want to hire this person.
This is an incredible social media video.
It's bad ass gets me fired up.
And, uh, apparently one of our owners is friends with some folks at more in Morgan
Wallens team and his social team or somebody who works in his music video producer.
I don't know about that, but I think it's some of his content creator folks created
this video.
And I'm like, well, that made sense.
Why it's so good because they got, it was a literal professional put it together.
But I thought it was like some, like I was hoping it was like some, an intern intern.
It was super, super, super talented.
I go, Hey, man, you dirty mo media could, you know, um, or just make more for jerky
boys, whatever, but it's a really great video.
And, um, in that video is some imagery of just the jerky and those flakes and stuff
flying around through the air.
And that's like, it's printed on your brain.
So it's, that is a really good video.
It is exactly jerky boys.
It is what jerky boys is.
Yeah.
All encompassing.
That's right.
Really sets the tone.
Yeah.
And in the backside of the video, there's some Morgan Wallen music.
And I was like, how did we?
Oh, how did we get that?
Yeah.
Like get the rights to that.
Yeah.
I'm like, what is going on here?
This is insanely good.
This video.
Man, we're about to go viral.
Oh my gosh.
Um, next question is what's a bad habit you're trying to kick that you have?
I kicked smoking currently.
Oh, I'm just proud of that.
It's bragging.
Um, humble frag.
I, um, I used to smoke.
I used to smoke quite a bit playing video games.
Yes.
He did.
People don't believe when I was doing that, um, what's that stuff?
The Nick, Nickerette.
I had this little Nickerette deal for about a year and people are like, what?
How does that align?
I was like, man.
Little do you know.
I used to have this habit.
Yeah.
Um, he tried to tell me too when we first met.
He's like, I don't, I don't smoke that often.
No.
Only when I like play video games or drive.
I'm like eight hours a day.
Play a lot of video games.
Like you're nocturnal.
You sleep all day and you play all night.
So you're basically every waking moment.
You're, you're blind one up.
Oh yeah.
I am trying to break being so messy in the closet.
Like keeping up with the laundry.
I know it's such a simple, basic human task.
It is so freaking hard for me to keep up with all that stuff.
I'm bad at it for just myself.
It's so hard.
Like, and I can get it in the wash and then get in the dryer.
And then I got to admit, we, um, her family, myself and the kids,
we pile up the freaking laundry.
Like we pile it up.
Yeah.
And the kids playing all their clothes.
There's not a day.
And then it all ends up in a minute where Amy's not messing with
laundry.
That's for sure.
It's true.
It's all over the house too.
Like I'm gathering it all over the place.
Yeah.
I'll, I'll just wherever I'll change his clothes.
She just dropped trial right there.
That's when they end up right in the floor, in the middle of the hall, whatever.
Yeah.
She's going to have my bad habit.
She's going to, she's got it.
I have to get on her all the time about it.
Nicole will put her stuff in the dirty clothes basket.
And I just can't do it.
So she's got the same mental.
I have no bad habits.
You have no bad habits.
You don't have any bad habits.
Now that I think about it, I don't really have any bad habits to kick.
He's perfect.
He's perfect.
Perfect specimen of a man right here.
You have all seen it.
This is it.
They broke the mold.
Smile for the camera, Dale.
I mean, come on.
Presenting the perfect man.
Doing pretty good.
I'm pretty, doing pretty good at this.
I really am.
If you say so.
By 51, he's really thinks he's got it all figured out.
I won't live forever.
Oh my God.
Next question comes from.
He can't stop laughing at his own jokes though.
That's for sure.
I don't want to stop doing that either.
Even if that is a bad habit.
God, I gotta have some fun.
Next question comes from Brad.
No one else is having fun.
You got to make it fun for yourself.
Lord have mercy.
What?
I don't even know how to respond to you.
Damn, if everybody in the room is not telling jokes and laughing,
then I've got to handle that.
I got to do that.
And if nobody's going to laugh, then I'll laugh.
Well said.
All right.
Next question comes from Brad from the chat.
Asked that Amy, since you grew up in Texas,
did you guys ever go to the state fair?
I did not.
No.
There was local rodeos and fairs and everything,
but I never went to the big state fair
or the Houston livestock show and rodeo.
I never got to do that stuff.
You haven't gone as an adult?
No.
You guys should go back and take the kids.
We should.
That would be really fun.
Because that thing is insane.
It is.
And there's always a good concert.
It'll be a good way to maybe run into George Strait.
It might be a place where you see something being invented.
No, it's not.
It's not that fair, right?
The World's Fair, yes.
Oh, sorry.
The livestock show and rodeo.
The World's Fair, sorry.
Yeah, this is one where they have so much deep fried,
like deep fried oreos.
At the World's Fair, that's where you see...
Exposition.
Expositions, things.
Do they still have that?
Things being invented.
That was back in like the...
I heard y'all check it out.
The automobile.
Yes, the exposition.
It was like...
Like as a Chicago, I think they had a big...
They go in the end of meeting in St. Louis,
which is a great movie.
And they go to like, yes, learn about all the industry happening.
Looks like it's like maybe every five years or something like that.
They still do it?
The next one's in 2030, it says.
What's that?
The World's Fair?
Yeah.
What are some of the...
Oh, one...
They introduced the Eiffel Tower at one of them.
The Space Needle.
Check it out, y'all.
The Eiffel Tower.
Can you imagine that day?
Everybody's like, oh, shit.
We have to sign Dale up to be a part of the exposition.
We have the perfect man right here.
What other stuff...
Presenting the perfect specimen.
And they...
In Chicago, they did one.
I thought it was Chicago.
Well, in 1893.
Yeah, what was it there?
The Ferris Wheel.
That's it?
The Electrical Lights.
I mean, that's pretty cool.
Wait, sorry?
No, no, no.
Electricity.
Oh, is it electricity?
It said electrical lights.
There you go.
Just one day, no lights.
So if you go to the World's Fair...
Flip a switch.
You're going to see something that's a new revolution or what not?
A new invention.
Or some sort of new technology that's going to change the world.
World's Fair.
Sounds like Dale needs to go.
If you go to the World's Fair and don't see something like that,
I'd be disappointed.
I'd be like, what's...
Why are we having this?
Why are we having this?
Why are we having this?
There ain't no new invention.
It's for the deep fried Twinkies, Doug.
Push, postpone this thing till we get something like electrical lights.
So the 2031, the theme is foresight for tomorrow.
This cocktail is slapping Dale around.
Sudachi and high rock.
I can't wait for lunch.
It doesn't take much.
Just a little swaller.
Alright, well then this question is great.
Speaking of alcohol,
what sport would be the funniest to add mandatory amount of alcohol to?
Sorry?
What sport would be the best if you can make the athletes have me intoxicated?
All of them.
All of them.
All of them.
Yeah, right.
Hey!
Dude!
Are you kidding me?
So I've been privy to a couple of conversations
where I've learned that some football players might have a little drink.
What?
Yeah.
My Sean Lynch would take...
Well, this is when he was cold.
Oh, you'd have a little fireball before you got out on the field?
I know some guys would have a shot before or during halftime.
Some wide receiver too that I'd heard about.
Really?
Yeah.
Damn.
I mean, why not?
I mean, I was just reading on social media this morning.
I mean, we all know about Ricky Henderson, right?
Smoke a little weed and have about 500 yard games in a row.
Yeah.
And...
So it just calmed his nerves?
I mean, you know, he was like, hey, I'm...
This is how I live my regular life.
I'm just good to do this.
To play the way you want me to play, this is what I need to be doing.
Yeah.
That's crazy.
If I took a shot before I needed to do something where I needed to focus, I would be in a bad way.
I mean, that's not that uncommon for people to like, you know, before you go out on, you know,
if you're doing like a television show, I'm going to do live TV for folks to like,
hey, let's take a shot to knock the edge off.
Ease your nerves.
The shot's not going to make you drunk.
No.
No, not one shot, but...
We ought to be doing that.
We are.
What do you think, sir?
So we start out like stiff and...
We should pre-game for our show.
Yeah.
We should have a shot like 15 minutes before we start.
That's not a bad idea.
Because by the end of the show, we're locked in.
We really got to figure it out now.
Locked in.
I think you might be getting a little loosey-goosey.
Well, we're loose.
All right.
We're locked in.
Dale needs a breakfast beer and then whatever our high rock cocktail is.
Breakfast beer.
Yeah.
Shower beer.
One of the best kind.
Cold beer in a hot shower.
All right.
Now, he's...
Because me and him argued about this.
Me and him argued about this.
He thinks shower beers are great and I've never had one.
They're amazing.
You've never had one?
I've never had one.
I don't think...
I don't see the point.
Dale, but what about like you have a beach day at Solvends Island.
You come back and you take a shower.
I feel like that if I'm drinking beer in the shower,
then I might have a problem.
I don't think so.
But if you're drinking on the couch, it's okay.
I might need to take a little...
I might need to take a little look in the mirror.
Re-evaluation.
Why?
I don't know.
Why can't you just drink the beer once you're out of the shower?
You can.
But how does it...
But it's just like pleasurable.
Yeah.
Pleasurable?
Yeah.
How?
What do you mean how?
It's a beer.
In the shower.
And you get to have a cold beer while you're just hanging out in the shower.
Well, I don't hang out in the shower.
It's a great experience.
I get in there to get out.
You just get in there to get out?
I don't.
I hang.
Yeah.
I like that hot water hitting my back.
He does hang out in the shower.
She thinks...
She wants to hang out in the toilet and hang out.
But she wants to hang out in the shower.
Those are not the same.
They aren't the same.
Kind of the same.
Hmm.
One's relaxing.
You're getting hit by the water.
It's soothing.
It's spotlight.
The other one's just sitting on a toilet.
The other one's just sitting.
Yeah, but I'm reading about racing or something.
I'm chilling.
Okay.
At least we're not competing for the same chill spot.
Yeah.
That's funny.
Yeah, but I don't know.
How about a toilet beer then?
No.
I don't know about that.
No.
He's not willing to combine activities.
I prefer to drink my beer next to the cooler.
A good bath beer is fun too.
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
A bath with a glass of wine.
Done that a thousand times.
The thing that goes across the...
I've seen that on TV.
People drinking wine in the bath.
That's really not any different than the shower.
Bring your laptop in.
Watch a show or something.
Beer is not...
Beer is...
Beer needs to be on a boat.
Beer needs to be next to the grill.
Or on the couch, watching sports.
God, you got your beer in such a lockdown...
Why are you rigid?
Beer is very situational.
I don't know.
I'm fine being in the minority here.
I'm fine being wrong.
Joseph said he's on the toilet so long his legs fall asleep,
he can't get up.
Joseph, get up.
Joseph, that's not good for you.
I hear that's bad for your innards to sit on the toilet that long.
It's bad for your butt for real.
Probably.
Yeah.
Possibly.
Could be something there.
Yeah.
We don't have to get into that.
But I mean, I've never sat in the toilet that long.
Yeah.
Take care of business.
Get up and go.
What are we doing?
There's something more fun to be doing than that.
You're selling the couch.
That's right.
Wait for the beast to come.
I think this is probably a good spot to end.
Thank you guys for your questions.
