Concept
rocket comes back
They’re talking about the rocket coming back after it launches. It’s the same general idea as reusing parts instead of throwing everything away after one use.
Concept
Apollo 13-ish
They’re comparing it to Apollo 13, a famous space mission where things got really intense. The point is that watching it live feels dramatic and high-stakes.
Concept
space shuttle launches
They’re talking about NASA’s Space Shuttle era—big launches with lots of careful steps before liftoff. It’s used to explain how important and organized the whole process is.
Concept
launch pad
The launch pad is the special platform where the rocket is set up and launched from. They’re talking about all the careful prep work before liftoff.
Concept
water truck
They mention a truck spraying water on the ground to keep things from getting too hot or getting damaged. It’s like using cooling to protect parts.
Concept
3D printed parts
They’re wondering if someone could make rocket parts using a 3D printer. The idea is that you can design and build custom parts faster than traditional manufacturing.
Company
SpaceX
SpaceX is a company that builds and launches rockets. They’re known for trying to reuse rockets and for lots of real-world launch activity.
Concept
parts for rockets
Rocket parts have to be made really precisely and to handle extreme conditions. That kind of manufacturing skill can influence other high-tech industries too.
Concept
3D printing
3D printing is a way to make a part by building it up in layers from a computer design. Instead of cutting metal or molding it, the printer “prints” the shape.
Car
Chevrolet Nova
They’re talking about a Chevrolet Nova, but in wagon form. A wagon is just a body style with extra space behind the seats.
Concept
100 lap feature
A “feature” is the main race of the night. “100 laps” just means the cars will drive around the track 100 times.
Concept
late model stock race
“Late model stock” is a type of stock-car racing. The cars start from real models, but they’re built and tuned for racing.
Company
Hyrock
Hyrock is the name attached to the “drink of the week” segment. In this clip, it’s just a sponsor for the drink recipe, not something related to cars.
Concept
space graph
They’re talking about a NASA mission in space. The big point here is that the toilet had a problem, and the crew had to deal with it.
Term
toilet fan jammed
They’re describing a mechanical problem with the toilet system. In space, even small failures can become a big deal, so astronauts use backup plans.
Concept
contingency plan
A “contingency plan” is a pre-defined workaround for when a system fails. Here, the hosts describe a backup approach for waste management—allowing one bodily function while preventing another—until repairs are complete.
Concept
dehydrated
Dehydrated means your body doesn’t have enough water. In a race car, you can sweat a lot and feel stressed, which can change how your body handles bathroom needs.
Concept
stress in a race car
Racing is stressful on your body. Between heat, vibrations, and high effort, your body can react in ways that affect comfort and basic needs.
Term
Mesa phonia
Misophonia is when some everyday sounds bother you way more than they should. Sounds like chewing or slurping can make people feel angry or really annoyed.
Term
hot rod
A “hot rod” is a car that someone has modified to be more fun—often faster, louder, or just cooler looking. Here, they’re basically saying their feed is showing car-related stuff.
Term
pocket knife
A pocket knife is a small knife you can fold up and carry in your pocket. In this story, the speaker used one to cut something and ended up hurting themselves.
Term
grill
The “grill” is the front opening/grille on a car. In this story, he was cutting into that front area.
Term
hole saw
A hole saw is a cylindrical cutting tool that drills a circular hole through materials like metal or plastic. It’s commonly used for making openings for lights, vents, or wiring pass-throughs in car bodywork.
Concept
Dirty Mo' Media Studios
That’s the name of the studio where they’re recording the podcast. It’s basically the “set” for the conversation.
Company
Junior Motorsports
Junior Motorsports is Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s racing organization. Here they’re just saying the cake showed up at their shop/team location.

Hi, y'all. Welcome back to another episode of Bless Your Heart.
Dale and I are in the Dirty Momedia studio, and we're excited to have a fun little chat today.
I hear that there's some Kirk Cousins news that's at the top of Dale's mind.
Not really. I feel like this is going to be our best show.
Oh, okay. Well, don't set us up for failure.
I'm pumped about this one.
I'm pumped about this one. Travis is pumped about this one.
This is going to be a good one. Well, lots going on.
Well, what are you talking about with Kirk Cousins?
Well, I was just, I sent out a little tweet, a bit of a troll tweet that I saw.
So you're the troll?
Yeah, I got in the mood.
It's not like a rule you don't get in the mood and then get on the internet.
This one I fully support.
So yesterday, yeah, so yesterday, I was,
um, yesterday I was sitting at home, uh, you were taking the girls to gymnastics.
And I was like, I had placed a bet on FanDuel and was going, I had a little, uh,
two player Parley that I was going to check on.
Didn't know if the game started or whatever.
So I was just like going to turn on sports, like, you know, FS one or something like that.
Right. And so I go to, uh, turn on my Xbox and I go into the FS one or the Fox one.
And so sorry, what's going on over there?
I just got some flim, dude.
What? And so I'm a normal person.
I get flim, all kinds of normal things, but I was
right on the screen.
It said, uh, they were about to fire this rocket into the sky with humans on it.
You know, funny to say you were humans, but people, right?
Astronauts.
And so look, I remember, I do remember that they were going to do this a couple of months ago
and they delayed it. Something happened. They didn't do it.
And, but I wasn't like, um, you know, I didn't dive into like all of the details of the purpose.
Yeah. The mission purposes.
So they're going to send the, they have, they have fired this rocket off.
It happened yesterday.
They sent it, it's going around the moon, which is insanely cool.
And, um, they're going to do another mission.
Everything going, if everything's going as planned, they're going to do another mission
and eventually going to land on the moon, which is awesome.
It is really cool.
So I turn it on and I'm like, they're like four minutes.
And as soon as that happened, I got a, um, text from a friend of mine in San Diego, Kevin,
and he says, Hey man, they're about to fire this rocket off.
And I'm like, I'm just watching.
What a coincidence that you text me this. I just turned it on.
How did I not know about this? How have I not heard about this today?
I remember now that I think about it, the delayed launch.
Yeah. We were talking about the astronauts and one of the astronauts,
the female is actually, she went to NC state. So she's from this area.
Yeah. So I mean, I knew this was happening, but I didn't know it was happening today.
And so I put out, I was very proud. I was, I mean, and it was emotional, right?
Like, look, they fire, they're sending, they're sending people to the space station.
They've been doing that. It's not like, it's not an unusual thing.
This is what I'm thinking.
This is what I'm thinking as I'm watching this happen. It's like, you know, it's not that unusual to,
you know, being human beings are on rockets that shoot up into the air,
but this one just feels so cool because it's going around the moon.
And damn it, that's a long ways away. And they got our plan, right?
There's a lot more risk involved.
Yeah. They got a plan to fricking get on the moon and then beyond that, whatever, right?
So super proud moment, awesome moment. And I'm like,
and so I fired off this tweet of like, how did I not know about this,
you know, that this was happening?
You tweeted that?
Yeah. Look at the screen.
So I fired off this tweet. I said, I had no idea we were sending humans around the moon.
Turn on my phone for some sports on the-
Turn on my TV.
Oh, right. It's kind of little, sorry.
Turn on my TV for some sports on there. And it was four minutes to lift off.
Unreal. What did you just, what's the-
Proud moment.
Proud moment.
It was badass watching the rocket book it toward the stars.
How in the hell did I not know about this happening today?
And so it was really cool, actually. And you're, I'm, again, like we sent,
we sent people to the space station. I don't watch those, those moments.
I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't get invested.
And I'm sitting there going, holy moly, come on, come on, come on, man.
Just, you know, keep digging. And then the boosters fell away and you're like, all right,
you know, do that process, you know, and then you're watching it, you know,
kind of do what it does. And it was super, I was insanely quickly, like heavily invested.
Yeah, I get it. You sent me the, you sent me a text and said,
they're about to shoot off a rocket. And we had just gotten the car from gymnastics.
We were heading through to get something to eat and in a drive through. And so the girls,
I pulled it up on my phone and the girls were like, what's going on? I was like,
they're about to shoot off a rocket. And they were like, a real one? It's like,
yeah, a real one. And there's astronauts on it. And they were like, oh my gosh, mom,
we want to watch. So like, I'm holding the phone like this, trying to watch it myself,
trying to get them to watch. And they were asking me a thousand questions.
Where are they going? How do they stop? How do they get back? So the rocket comes back just
like that. I'm like, no, no, no, watch it. Cause they started to see the pieces fall apart.
And I was like, like both of them were gasping. They're like, it's falling apart,
you know what I mean? They weren't expecting to see that. They're talking more loudly than
the guy that's annotating the whole thing. Cause he's explaining the process as it's happening.
But it honestly brought me back to like feeling like a child again. And it was really cool. Almost
like, like you said, proud, but I almost got a little emotional and I had to check myself.
I wish they did it during school so they could have, all the classes could have stopped what
they're doing to put it on. That would be great. That would, that would be very Apollo 13-ish.
Don't you remember like in the movie, they did that during the middle of school day and
his son was in school? Shuttle, space shuttle launches and stuff like that during school were in,
it was big, big deal. Yeah. They shot, there was a lift off for one. Maybe they were just going
to the space station not that long ago and we watched that too. But I don't know, this one did
feel different. Well, I, you know, there's a, you know, there's a lot of commentary on television
around more clips and videos too of their prep work and like just getting the rocket to the launch
pad and everything. Well, I remember that too. Like watching the shuttle, they, they had these
little machines that would carry the shuttle out to the launch pad and it moved at like an inch,
an inch every hour or some, you know, it's like super slow. And they have a water truck in front
of it spraying the ground so they don't get stuck. I didn't know that they had to do stuff
like that. I was, I was thinking, I wonder if Brad Kizlowski has any 3D printed parts on that thing.
You know, because well, Brad make, you know, Brad's old print, I don't know if Brad's the
printing company, but he had a printing company that would make parts and pieces for SpaceX or
whatever or whatever. Are you serious? Yeah, samey. They let just anybody print some shit? No, let's
look out. Brad's company is, I've been to tour his business. He showed me and walked me around in it.
I don't know nothing about this. All I know is my friend Brad that used to live down the street.
Brad Kizlowski created or helped create a 3D printing company that made parts for rockets
and yes. And so, you know, I don't know that he had, I don't know that he actually taken off
yesterday. I don't want to see anybody had something that, you know, anything, but hell, who knows?
But I had all these millions of thoughts running through my mind. And so I put that tweet out
there because I was just so proud. I was so excited. And then I was like, you know,
I was really insanely surprised by the response to my post. What were your responses? Were they
nice or were they? They were all over the place. I had a lot of fun with this. I mean, I can imagine
with your enthusiasm, there was a little clownish. Every time, I don't know how this is going to
sound, but every time I go on social media, it is, you're playing with fire. It is especially
Twitter. Yeah. Oh yeah, you are. You better opinion platform. You got to be thoughtful about what
you're about to say. Because someone is absolutely going to rip it apart. Yeah. And someone's going
to take it completely out of context. And I've had that happen. But that was,
that was a couple of people that were like, watch, get your head out of your ass and watch the news.
And I was like, dude, I don't got time to watch the news. Like I am. I don't know that there's
a news giveth when you need it. There is a busier person in the NASCAR industry. I honestly feel
out. Listen, I don't want to poo poo your thoughts, but you got time for things.
I know. Well, I got time for things and those things take my time. I don't have time to go
sit down and look at my phone and watch the freaking news. I don't have the bandwidth.
Okay. That's different than the time. Bandwidth and time are not the same thing.
Bandwidth means you don't have the space up here to deal with that every day.
Okay. But I feel like if we're ripping cards, we get time to watch the news.
But Nancy, not only came out. That's the thing. Like, do I rip cards or do I take in a little
bit of news? You know, I'm going to rip the cards. I mean, you could be ripping cards and
watching the news at the same time. Well, that's what was, hey, that's how, that's how we were
watching the shuttle launch. As a matter of fact, he's got a whole new screen up there. He's got,
it looks like the space station himself. He's got like a 32 inch Alienware monitor sitting
there. Well, whatever. He's got a desk there. He's got a desk downstairs. It didn't even matter
if he's upstairs or downstairs now. He's got spaces everywhere where he can watch things.
I can listen to music. I can do whatever. I can watch the rocket launch.
But we're not watching the news. But Nancy came after Dale and Dale's friends. She said,
clearly you need to surround yourself with better people because it's been all over the news for
like a month. Yep. I said, my friends are catching. Now she's trying to blame everybody
around you. Yeah, no, you come up to us Nancy. Well, screw you. This one guy said you live under
a rock. I said under the hood of my Nova wagon. I don't know why we just got to the wagon done.
And so that just popped out of my mouth. You just wanted to get into a fight yesterday.
I had fun with it. You know, sometimes you get stuff that pisses you off and I was like,
this ain't going to bother me. I mean, I know I look, you know, I bet old, I bet that smart ass
didn't know it's open at night at Langley this weekend. They're going to have a 100 lap feature
or a late model stock race. But he didn't know that. I didn't either. Yeah. But I saw that
rocket take on you. I mean, I would consume news. Kevin said you got to watch more than
flow racing cousins going to going to play for Raiders this year. So that's why his tweet about
all that this morning. That was why he started. That's why I posted that. It's like, I saw it on
the news this morning. Her cousin's going to the Raiders. You got, hey, you like that? That's
what his old saying is. You like that? You like that? That's what he said one time after a win
against the Buccaneers when he was a commander. Did you hashtag it? I did. I did. They don't
work anymore, but I do it if you're trying to be a smart ass. Well, I gotta say something.
This is very off topic, but my shoes are killing me. I'm going to take them off.
Take your shoes off. I've gone through the stage like they are like torture devices.
Do you want mind people looking at your feet? I mean, I got socks on. I'm not a complete animal.
All right. So that's one of these boots forever. And Dale got them for me for Christmas. And I
don't have like troll feet, but they're like base wide feet, you know, like regular width.
And these things are made for skis. I need stretchers or something for them.
It's because women love to just, they care more about how it looks than how it feels.
Yes. Typically, I would just not even mention it, but I feel like they literally, my feet are numb.
Driving over here was a thing. So anyway,
that's a mystery to me. I'm going to need you to help me stretch those out with your little wooden
things, your little cobbler things. I got little wooden. Yeah, I got wooden.
I need you to be a shoe cobbler and fix my boots. Shoe cobbler. Because I have time for that.
Is that like, is that like, can you fit that into your schedule since you're so busy?
What's a shoe cop? Is that like a, a shoey during Thanksgiving, like a shoe cobbler? I don't know.
What's a shoe cobbler? No, your jokes won't work here. Nope. Not even try. He drives,
even looked away. He's like, no. What is a shoe cobbler? Isn't that the word?
Yeah. They repair, they build shoes. I got these little wooden things that I put in my dress shoes
to keep them from collapsing because I don't wear dress shoes at all. If they sit on my
damn shelf so long, they, they just collapse. But they do. Yeah. They'll just, the toes of them.
Oh, like Pinocchio will collapse. It keeps the form of the shoe. Pinocchio,
Gepetto situation in my head. I don't know why they, I don't know what those things are really
for, but I can put them in there and it might help. Stretch them out. Yeah. Yeah.
They're like crushing my feet. All right. Speaking of crushing, let's crush this drink.
What is the drink? I don't know. Let's see. A drink of the week presented by Hyrock is the
brunch punch. It's got me. Dale. Oh, that's good. Very drinkable. It's very light. It's a one and a
half ounces of Hyrock vodka, one and a half ounces of orange juice, one and a half ounces of fruit
punch, and one and a half of ginger ale, and then one ounce of pineapple juice. So you could
really make this in a picture too and like make it a good, you know, group drink. Combine all of
this in the shaker and serve it in your glass. So if you haven't already, check out HyrockBodka.com.

Did y'all know that I guess they had some problems with the toilet on the on the space
graph? Oh yeah, did you hear about that Amy? I didn't hear about the problems with the toilet,
but I did watch a really good video of one of the astronauts explaining how the toilet works
and how loud it is. They have to use ear protection just to flush it. It's so loud.
And the capsule is really small. Yeah, they're going to the far side of the moon
and they're going to set a record for the farthest distance ever traveled, 252,000 miles.
It's going to take 10 days. That's why I read 10 days. Yeah, the toilet fan jammed. And so apparently
while they are fixing it, you could poop but not pee. I don't know how. How do you stop yourself?
I don't know. How do you stop yourself? I mean, if you're a woman, I don't know how you
sorry poop and not pee. They had a contingency plan though. They just were allowed to poop if they
could needed to, but they couldn't pee. Astronauts reportedly employed their contingency quote
waste management capability specifically for year end of quote. So they had a backup plan.
But they fixed it. They fixed it. That sounds tragic.
That's the last thing you like. It's fine. They're fine. It's fine.
Hey, they're headed to the moon, man. I think I could hold it.
No, you couldn't. Yes, I drive race cars. You don't hold it for hours. Boy, please.
I peeed in my race car maybe a dozen times max. I know, but that's just because you're
dehydrated. They're doing all the things right there. They're probably dehydrated too. They have
their body like is going through a lot of stress or stress in a race car.
Look, I'm not saying it's hard. It's not, I'm not saying it's like easy to hold it,
but I would have been so excited and enamored. I think I would have had my mind busy with other
things. I don't know. Not being able to do all the bodily functions would be stressful.
Maybe they'll get asked when they get back. How hard was it to hold it?
Maybe you should tweet about it. No, no, I'm done. I'm done for a bit.
Oh my gosh. I like to tweet and I do like to communicate and get feedback and respond to
people and stuff like that, but going viral where most people that are communicating with you
aren't people that are following you and they don't really even know you, that is not fun.
Yeah. They're just mystery people. Are they even real people sometimes?
Even real? They're not normally don't have real names and stuff, but it's interesting.
Well, I saw something really funny on Instagram this week and I saw it a few times. I sent it
to Travis yesterday. There was a Miss Thailand competition. I'm sure some of our followers
have seen these clips. It's a beauty pageant and they were having a moment where they're dancing
on the stage and I don't know exactly if this is before or after swim suit things,
but this girl, was she disqualified? There's a stink about one of the contestants
not doing like the sexy dance, but she went clubbing on the stage. Get for the, like...
What is that dance move called? Because I've seen it before, but she went, she went for it.
She did. And so there's some, there's a lot of controversy on her dance moves.
What's the controversy? I don't, that she, what didn't stick to the plan. Like, I think she even
they were probably told like, hey, kind of disqualified. Yeah.
She's like, here, she's like, she's like, I'm going for it. It's my time. Can you imagine?
Right? When the camera pans, she's like, here we go. I freaking love it. I mean, it's hilarious.
All her friends, y'all watch, y'all watch this. I'm about to go hand bone. She doesn't have five
inch heels. Well, that's a skill. She should stand out. She's that's what she's, I'm going to stand
out. Y'all watch me go. These other girls can shake their hips all they want to. That should
have gotten her into the next round because the rest of them looked almost like they were all doing
the same dance. They were. So why would the same girl over in Oregon? How can you like,
you know, you look at all of them doing the same thing and it's like, damn, this is hard.
She only made the top 20. You got her doing something completely different. Hey, top 20.
Give it up. That's tough. Yeah. I think it was funny. I watched it over in Oregon.
There was the Miss Grand Thailand competition. Oh, it was just the Miss Grand Thailand. It
wasn't like the world or universe. No, it was all like. She's top 20 in Thailand.
It's a local kind of thing. Top 20 in Thailand. It's pretty good.
She said, I was just truly myself. She's got my vote. What'd you say?
She said she was just being herself. She's just being herself. Yeah. She's like,
I ain't going to be like these other girls. I'm just going to do me. Hey, she's memorable. Everybody's
talking about her. We're talking about her. I feel like they need to move her up. I didn't even know
they had this Grand Thailand thing. Yeah. So it happens. The Grand Thailand commission has to
love it or the council or whatever. That's true. They've got to love it. There's one more thing
that's been all over my phone this week. Me too. I know what you're about to talk about.
Well, it's the summer house. Find me. Is it? No. Amy likes it. I mean, look, I watched the show too.
Okay. That's not set it up so skewed here. You watch the out of it. Oh, you do?
That's one of those shows. If I watch by myself, he's annoyed. He's like, oh, you watched it already?
I didn't want a minute. I'm already catching for not watching enough news. And now people are going
to give me for watching too much. You're going to get crushed for this. I support you. I watched
summer house too. My Bravo shows, summer house and Southern charm. And we sit and watch those
together. So it's like our together time, even if we're not talking to each other because we're
watching the show. They like to eat his snacks while we watch shows. So he's on the other side of
the couch so that I can hear. She doesn't like the sound of someone eating. So I can't sit near her.
And he likes to eat those really flat pretzels, like crunchy, really loud foods. Can't you like
find a way to like eat in a quiet, non-crunchy manner? No. No, he can't. Even if I eat a grape,
it's too loud. She's like, do you chew with your mouth closed? Yes.
He eats with like extreme force. It's like, this is a condition. He feels like he's got to turn
the grapes into wine in his mouth or something. Like he's smashing it so hard. I've read about
this. This is a condition that she has. What's it called? I don't know. Look it up. When people
don't like, it's not, I'm not alone is what you're saying. Yeah, there's other people and it's a
condition. It's the sound of someone eating and is an annoyance. What's it called?
Mesa phonia. Yes, here it is. Do you have it too, James?
Liar. James. It's the condition. It's the exact name. Yeah, it's condition. It's so small.
Condition. We're old Travis. That is making larger. Can you change the font? But he's not
wrong. Mesa phonia is what it's called. The condition of characterized by intense involuntary
and emotional reaction, such as anger, rage, disgust or anxiety. The common sounds most likely the
chewing, slurping or breathing of other people. Yeah, I have that. Yep. I am disgusted and annoyed
and sometimes enraged. So I sit on the other end of your smacking. I sit on the other end of the
sectional and we watch together and it's, it's pleasant. I enjoy it. We do. I enjoy that we're
together. I enjoy that Amy and I like, well, you know, it is what it is, but summer house is a damn.
It's a good show. Good show. It's very entertaining. We used to watch, no, no,
you know, we used to watch Vanderpup Rules and all that stuff, but they changed the cast. Yeah,
we decided we were too old to get into a new cast. I mean, Ben, too invested in the original.
I stopped the season after Scandival. I stopped watching. Yeah. So speaking of Scandival, we
have now, we now have Scamanda. Scamanda. That's what they've, that's what they've dubbed it. Scamanda.
So Amanda and Kyle just got divorced in January. Sad news. Sad news. We kind of saw it coming.
Not surprised by that part, but now we've just realized that she's hooking up with exploring.
Well, exploring his dad bod, West, you know, like her best friend's ex. West was at Atlanta.
West was at Atlanta. At the race. Listen, I, Carson Quaple, I think. Oh yeah, with
West. They were there for Arby's. Sophie Cunningham with Arby's. I'm sure he's a great guy.
I wonder if he told Carson Quaple, Hey man, you want to listen to gossip?
You think he just opened up with all that? Carson Quaple? Because he probably knew Carson
Quaple didn't know. So he's like, I got to get this out. I got to tell somebody who
tells somebody. So let me tell somebody who will not ever know to tell another one. Carson.
Your brain is crazy.
Wasn't that right? Like if you're like, that's something that you got to get out of your system,
like some secret or something. You just tell a complete stranger that you know you'll never
see again. And now you're like, I'm free. Is that what you do? No, but it sounds like a good idea.
Dale's awful. He can't keep a secret. No, we cannot. Do you not ever tell Dale
anything to someone to know? Please don't stand it. It eats him alive. It's uncomfortable.
Even a good secret. Like a surprise for someone else. He'll get right in the middle of that.
Yeah. They'll be, I mean, they'll be like, Hey, we're going to throw a surprise party for this
person. I'm like, God, don't even tell me I'm going until I'm going. Yeah. Actually physically
moving and going there. Take his phone away from him too. It's physically uncomfortable for me to
hold on to a secret. Yes. Yeah. That seems to be true. I like to, I'd rather say that I cannot
tell a lie, but no, you will spoil a secret and you'll spoil it on purpose. I learned that the
hard way when I first started dating you. I was like, wait a second. That's not even your,
that's not in your, your news to share. What, what are you doing? Like, it's just so exciting.
I gotta, I gotta tell it. You just love. I've got something to tell you after the show that
we had to edit out of a dirty air because she shared something that we're like, no.
Oh really? I'll tell you after the show. There's a few things. He's also one of those people too.
You can't kick out of the table. Like I've physically kicked him in the shin under the
table because he's talking about something he shouldn't or shouldn't say something.
And he'll be like, why are you kicking me? Yeah. I'm oblivious if we haven't learned that already.
Obviously. It's my choice. It's situational. It's not all the time. Selective. I want to be
oblivious. I'm more comfortable. All right. Let's get back to Scamander. Can you believe that she
cheated? It's essentially a cheat. Listen, I want to know that your phone has showed you all the
clips. My phone hasn't. So to be fair, yesterday in the middle afternoon, my Instagram sent me
a reel and some of some fan and it had Celine Dion music and it was like showing. It was like
showing a slow motion of her walking by him during one of the shots and she grabs his hand.
She's going to the kitchen and they are like caressing. He reaches for her boob and she swats
him down and then they like do this arm caress as she's walking away. Whoa. Yeah. We're going to
couch all this with the ledge. So they're all, keep going. They're rewatching all of this.
All the fans are now going back and watching the entire season over to see these little hints and.
There's a dinner party where she's sitting. He's sitting between the two of them.
So I got a couple. I got one or two clips on my Instagram yesterday
and I have no idea why my Instagram has never sent me anything bravo. Anything is my Instagram
doesn't seem that stuff. Because everyone's talking about it. I get baseball cards, commander's
stuff, racing stuff. Well, that's boring. This is really exciting and it was like full force
yesterday. Hot rod, car stuff. Allegedly, they were at the Super Bowl. They were at the Super
Bowl. So Dave Portnoy. Dave Portnoy on his podcast. I read about that. Dave Portnoy was like,
this is old news. He blew them up. I saw them at the Super Bowl. Chicken fried told me it was
happening at the Super Bowl. And he blew it up. And Brianna Chicken Fry, apparently his friends
with Wes. Okay. Well, so I've seen all the clips, all the little like innuendos, like he's really
close to her. He's touching her. He's doting on her. He's standing up for her with Kyle.
You need to apologize. You shouldn't treat her that way. Like he's all along. We think he's
still crushing on Sierra and he's really got the hots for Amanda, but she's married. So of course,
he's not talking about that. But he was mad this season when Jesse wanted to kiss Sierra.
He was. He was. So I hear, I think, I think all of it's like, all of it can be true and all of it
could be **** too. You know, like it's still TV and maybe the whole thing's ****. I saw an interview
with Kyle. He's got stuff on the street and did this whole calm interview and it felt like he
was too okay. Well, here's why he has to be okay though, is he is now getting the sympathy card.
And before this, I think everyone was blaming him for his actions and the divorce happening.
So if he goes out there and crushes Amanda, then people aren't going to sympathize with him.
Why is he even talking to the media? Because lover, because now he can promote lover boy and
stuff. Oh, you think he's doing, I thought that they just declared bankruptcy. The reunion's coming
up, dude. I mean, it's not a bad light for him to be in. He should eat it up. He really should.
But he just felt like, even though he still wants to be, you know, held up now after all of this,
he still seems a little too okay with it being West and not like annoyed that Amanda's seeing
anybody. You know what I mean? Like, I know that they're divorced, but that's one of his buddies.
And they just got divorced. I don't know. If all of it was kind of somewhat happening under his nose,
I don't know. It feels like he should have a little bit of like an annoyance. Yeah, I would.
Yeah. And any human relationship, whether it was like somebody you didn't even marry,
you would be like, that's kind of up. I hope she's okay. But that was too okay.
It made it almost feel a little stage to me. It made me question whether it was all even full
or real. What do you think? Well, I mean, I think that I think when you're watching the show,
the tension between them and the discomfort and all that stuff feels real. Feels like it's not.
That's not ****. Yeah. It would develop over a period of time. It has. And they were both
appeared to be kind of, she seemed to be pretty much kind of like, yeah, what the **** ever.
And he's like miserable. So I think that maybe they were both, even though they don't want it
to fail, it did fail. And they're kind of relieved that now at least that they're not,
they had to live in that every day. And so now at least he wakes up in the morning and he's,
you know, the DJ without the house sucks, but it's a clear slate, you know, and he can't,
you know, you don't have to walk into the kitchen and that tension there being there or whatever,
right? Just metaphorically. And so maybe that's why he's okay with it. Maybe it's actually been
going on longer than we thought or know about because when they film, right? This isn't my
modern, but they filmed what we saw from the show that was months ago. Yeah. It was last summer.
Right. So like, this has all been going on for years with them. So I don't know, man. Maybe
he's just kind of like, I hate it. Didn't, you know, I can see why he was the way he was in that
interview, but he's really interesting. We'll see how it plays out. I don't know. I think he's
getting a little bit more annoyed. Look, I too, like there's 20, there's this little percentage
of me over here going, this could be, you know, this could be all just kind of manufactured,
right? To just create interest in, which is brilliant. If it's manufactured, holy s***,
it's brilliant. It's like modern days of our lives. It's like, I bounce those thoughts in
my head too. Like if it's manufactured, if it's all fake, just to fluff the show, especially like
right before the reunion is about to commence, they haven't done it yet, then very brilliant.
But also that's a lot to freaking keep up with. And that's a lot of kickback to get,
if you're Amanda, especially. If it's real, it's a risk to the show, which is unfortunate.
Well, she's lost brand deals. Yeah, she got dropped from it. Like, yeah, that's why I think it's
right. So I mean, if it, that would tell me, I mean, again, that would tell me it's probably
more legitimate that it's legit. And it risks the show being canceled. How could you put them all
back in the same space? Well, surely some of them just won't come back. If I was Sierra,
I'd be like, y'all, I'm out. Right. And apparently he was dating her. So here's the thing. West was
also kind of dating her again and dating this other Chicago girl. Yes. Who Sierra has since
followed on Instagram. Oh, she did. And I think there might have been another girl.
Maybe. Yeah. So he was like, not just dating Amanda West.
It's pretty impressive. But also, how do they not all know?
I think it'd be Australian dude that would be doing all this. No, he's the sweet one.
I know, but I'm just saying. I think he got back with the girl he was talking about on the show.
Yeah. I'm just saying, you have all the guys on the show. West is the,
is the playboy who's stringing them all along. He's the Labrador.
Yeah. I thought it'd been like Jesse would have been more likely to.
Yes. He's, because he wears it on a sleeve. Yeah. You know exactly. West tried to play as like the
funny, like, haha guy. Yeah. Well, I don't know. I didn't see it coming, to be honest.
Did not see West and Amanda together. I didn't. Bro code out the window, girl code.
Yeah. There were no codes evaluated before making those choices.
Did you read where on Southern charm for the next season,
Shep and his ex, what's your face? Taylor. Taylor. Taylor. They have decided to somehow,
I don't know if this is real or not, maybe hoax, but they have somehow decided to play in a
competitive competition, a double, a doubles competition tennis tournament. And they're playing
together. And so the season spans them practicing together and trying to go play. And it's,
so I thought you didn't watch the news. Yeah. Shep wrote, I do watch the news. People think I
don't, but I do. Shep Rose has partnered with the intent, with the intense professional tennis
league as a team owner. And he's, his season, this next season features him with ex girlfriend
Taylor and green pairing up for comp, competitive tennis matches. And it's caused a lot of drama
and friction. Well, I'm kind of surprised she decided to come back to the show. Yeah. Well,
the drama friction part doesn't surprise me whatsoever. That show that we were watching
a reunion of that last night. And I feel like we're always behind on that show. But anyway,
it's all right. It's, I mean, it doesn't matter. They recorded that stuff. I mean, the seasons
weren't, yeah, you know, when we're watching the season, it didn't happen yesterday. That was
a month ago. That's fine. I saw a thing about Sally yesterday too. She had commented on her
TikTok made some posts about girl code in response to Amanda and then has since deleted it.
Cause you know, she's not really, I'm a big fan of Sally. Your big fan of Sally.
I think she takes a lot of heat. She does. She takes it on the chin. Like she takes it
really well. I didn't realize that like on top of doing this show, she still works her night,
like her like awesome job that she's got. Like she's out there like, I think she's like Austin
in the reunion was like judging her for the same things that he does. I didn't like how Austin
and Craig, no, not Craig. I'm having a brain fart. The little tiny ones that just had the baby.
Oh, Madison. Yes. I didn't like how Madison and Austin were like ganging up on her about that.
Like, why does Madison even care? Who cares if Sally goes out, Austin? You go out too.
And what does Madison give a s*** for? And Austin, Sally goes out and then goes into work.
So like, I think she's managing it just fine. Just cause she's single and going out for dinner
and having a glass of wine doesn't make her like a bar rat. Even if she is a bar rat. Yeah. Well,
I mean, if you're going in and doing surgery the next day, you're probably not supposed to be
out drinking, but if she's doing her job, she's not breaking any rules. Yeah.
Why do you care? And if you're with her, what the hell are you judging her for?
Like he's out too. Yeah. I think she'd be like the total catch for you. It seems like you're
supposed to fall in love with the people that you're the most alike. That way there's no friction.
Like you're going to live life pretty easily together if you know what to do together. You
know what I mean? When you try to force the opposite to track thing, it's, it usually doesn't work
out. Yeah. I don't know. It felt weird. I can't talk any s*** about Austin. No, I love Austin.
I think he's so sweet. He's such a great guy and I'm sure Madison is too. But in that moment,
I was like, damn. Sending some jerky boys and he liked it. He said it was the best
bird beef jerky you'd ever had. He did. I haven't in print.
Yeah. I don't know. We can move on from the whole Scamander thing. I just can't believe it.
I can't wait to see what happens at the reunion. No, it's just to be continued, man.
Sierra's going to lose her freaking mind on these people. It's going to be something.
What if she doesn't even show up? I think they will because of their contract.
They have to. They have to show up probably. Like if they don't, I don't think they can
withhold pay for the season and stuff. Yeah.
So we got some Easter plans. We do. We're going to take our camper back to Texas.
What about communication can be tricky? Not communication. Communion.
It says communication. Oh, well, that was my phone accident day.
Communion can be tricky. Communion can be tricky, especially for Dale and Hart Jr.
We went to church on Sunday, took the girls to St. Mark's Lutheran, where we go to church and...
I have to preface. I've been going to this church since I was tiny, six, seven years old.
He was baptized in this church. So we're both of our kids. It's friends deep.
When dad passed away, we had his funeral there, all of that. So we had...
You said he got married. We had a personal... I know the funeral was at another place,
but we had a personal thing there. Yeah. Kelly got married in the church.
She did. Dad's helped the church financially in big moments. So we've been going there a
long time. I remember I got some memories there as a tiny, tiny dude. We go every now and then,
usually around the holidays. We go and it's great and I enjoy it.
But he does forget things. But I mean, hell, dude. Let me tell this story.
So we're sitting four or five rows back. Church is going fine. The girls are getting a little
restless, but it's close to the end of service and we have to do communion. And so, of course,
the gentleman at the end of the row says, it's time for you guys to stand up.
We go and the entire pew on the front where everyone's doing communion is full. So we have
to stand and wait. Well, Dale doesn't stand. He takes the girls and just goes, come on over here
and sits in the ladies in the front, very front row where the older ladies sit.
Their purses are sitting there and everything. And I'm like, what are you doing?
I just sat down. He's just, instead of standing in the aisle like you're supposed to, which is,
you know, 30 seconds, not that long. He awkwardly just goes to find a new seat in a different pew.
I didn't know what to do. He like, and I look over and I'm like, what are you doing?
I look up, Amy's still standing there and she's like, what are you doing?
And there's a gentleman behind me and another gentleman behind him, like obviously.
Everybody's lined up behind him. I'm like, oh, I was supposed to do that.
He goes, I don't know what I'm doing. I'm like, come on back. Come on back over.
We go up and, you know, put her knees down on the cushion and wait for the pastor to come
around with the bread and the wine and the wine comes up and it's red and white.
They had white grape juice on there. I know one's grape juice and one's not.
I know one's wine and one's grape juice and I don't know which one.
And I don't know which one to get. I was blown away that he was so confused.
First of all too, the pastor gives both of our kids the wafers and they're five and seven.
They haven't been through communion. Yeah, but he's like, he looked at me and he goes,
is it, he's kind of like, he didn't ask. I saw that. He's like, is it all right? I'm like,
yeah, sure. Hold your hand out, kid. Hey kid, take the bread. The whole thing was awkward.
But he cried shit for you.
It literally looked just like that. This is exactly what's happening in the church.
And we're in the middle of the damn church. We're in the front, right at the very front.
And so the kids are taking it and like Nicole sits there and she cracks little pieces off and
puts it in her mouth because she's never seen anything like that. It wasn't actual friends.
We did not prep them. No, I didn't see that coming. And so Isla sticks the whole thing in her
mouth and her mouth's like tight and locked up. Now she goes, she wants some of the wine too.
I'm like, no, no. We're drawing the line. She goes, what about the grape juice? I was like,
no, just get out of here. I didn't know which one was which. And I got the great, I got just
regular stuff. And she's sitting right next to Dale. She's too far away for me to really help her
without making a scene. So I'm like, let's just get out of here. I was disappointed I didn't get
no wine. How did you not get the wine? I didn't know which one was which. Can't you say like,
I'll take the wine? No, they're in the little cups. And so you take it. They just put the tray
down and he had a choice and he made the wrong one is what it came down to. This is how I have,
it's been so long since I went to church. Last time I went to church, you literally
would drink out of the thing and pass it back to you. That's how long it's been. Yeah,
we were talking about that at Bunko because yes, so to your point, some people used to drink out
of the chalice and was like, that's so gross. Dip the wafer in the chalice. I feel like the last
time we went to church, they did that too. Like that was something that happened, but that's also
gross. Somebody's taking their damn hand in there. That's why I now think about it. Wow.
I, let's call it 300 people drank out of the safe. So I remember.
That's so gross. That's so gross. Let's stop talking about it. So,
but I will drink out of Dale's drink after the show because he hasn't touched it.
So we can't go anywhere without making a scene. Take a little sip.
The one thing though that was really cool. So I mean, of course, the whole, you know,
being at church and doing all that was great. We get up and I've told Amy and the girls like
14 times at least how I've done this sermon when I was little, like when they had use,
we had to use Sunday and I gave the sermon. The whole sermon. You just not told me that.
Yes. You told me you were an acolyte. No, I, on use Sunday, I was around 13. I was tasked.
The kids did the whole service and I was, I did the sermon and my pastor was Pastor
Cozart. He gave me the joke. He's got to have a little humor in your sermon and your sermon is
going to be about forgiveness. And you're going to tell us joke about how this mother,
whose son went off to college and she missed him terribly and worried about him being lonely. She got
him a, a parrot or an expensive bird that would talk to him. And she went around and found this
really expensive bird that she was really excited about and she sent it to him. I don't know why
this was that funny because it doesn't sound great now, but I'm still waiting for you to
put the fries in the bag. She, she waits and here's nothing. And she finally writes him or
eat or calls him or whatever. I mean, this is years ago. So she says, Hey, man, did you get
the bird? And he goes, Yes, mom, it was delicious. And so that doesn't sound that funny now. So he
ate the bird. I think he did. Yeah. And she had to forgive him for the mistake. Did your congregation
laugh with you? Yeah. But I can't believe you did that as shy as you were. I know it. That's the
thing. So that's why I tell y'all about it because I'm like, Hey, I mean, we don't know you that part
of you. I know that you that we know is super talky. Not when we first met. Yeah, but you were
famous then. So like you've been out in public and done things and appearances and all that. I
at the end of church, we stand up to leave and this lady in the pew right in front of us goes,
Hey, she's, you know, I don't know, maybe my age, you'll order. She goes, Hey, I was here that day
when you gave the sermon and I was like, really? That's pretty good, wasn't it? He leaves church
and he's like, God, I really needed that. The church was good for me today.
I was like, Yeah, that was a good sermon. Yes. Yes. I've been telling my family about it over
and over. I'm glad. I was like, Amy, did you hear that? She was here. She was here. Amy, did you
hear that? They still talk about that sermon. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Good for you. I used to do the
acolyte or like get up and read and that was nerve wracking. Oh, that was the worst. I was so scared.
I knew I could read very well, but I was terrified I was going to get up there and just like,
lock up. That happened a couple of times, I'm sure. I had to go to Sunday school
and I would never like try or pay attention because I'm like, I can't fail you for Sunday
school, but then it's like, oh, you have to stand up and do this prayer and I'm like,
Yeah. Do I have to recite it or can I have a paper or like, what's the deal here? You have to go
up there and you're like, Oh no, this is, yeah, this is the worst. It's nerve wracking. I was,
and it's like the most forgiving place, but it doesn't feel like that would do that age.
We were in Sunday school downstairs and we were going to make the lanterns that you put on the
driveway for luminaires luminaires. We were making those out of out of a one gallon milk jugs.
This was, I was 12, 13 and my dad gave me a pocket knife and it didn't, it was an old kind
that both ends flipped open and it didn't lock. So you had to be careful, but I didn't,
and so I'm cutting, I'm like, Hey, I'm going to use my new pocket knife.
You took it to church? Yeah. I mean, this was like 1983, 1985. People could walk around with
pocket knives. Well, people still do that now, but you know, you don't. Well, I don't anymore.
It's a different world. Nobody, I mean, I don't know, but walking around with a knife and walking
into church with it would feel weird today, but back then walking into church with a pocket knife
and then every 15, 14 year old kid had a pocket knife in their pocket. Okay. And so you were
doing what with yours? I'm cutting the top of the lantern off and I'm trying to cut and I slipped
and that damn knife. Now the blade's about probably four inches long, little tiny little blade.
Four inches feels big. No, maybe three inches long, but it's a little tiny blade and it,
it's one of them small pocket knives. That thing went into my leg like top of my thigh.
Like Ricky Bobby. It was like this real quick. It was like, oh, it came back. Oh,
I pulled it right out and I was like, and I'm like, I just stabbed myself. I just stabbed myself.
So I'm looking around. Nobody saw. I get up, put the, you know, I get up, I walk to the bathroom,
got a little pain. I take my pants down. There's a hole in my leg. There's a hole in my leg about
the size of a dime. And so I got, I don't know whether, I don't know how I got them or I told
no one about this. It's not bleeding for some reason. I don't know why it's not, it's not like
bleeding, not, not doing any of that. But I butterfly band-aided my leg, never told a soul.
I got a scar on my leg still, you know, obviously. You never told your dad or anything when you went
home? Never told anyone that it happened. Cause you didn't want him to take the knife away.
That maybe. Yeah. But I was also embarrassed that I did it.
What about the hole in your pants? I don't know. They never asked you about it. No.
Interesting. Yeah. I stabbed myself in the hand once trying to chop some ice. It was one of the
square fruit puncher, like lemonade jugs. Then they had like a peel off top. We had some of those
and I wanted it to get cold fast. So I stuck it in the freezer and it froze. I stuck it in there
too long. So I got one of the kitchen knives out of the block and I was stabbing it, trying to get
it to like turn into a slushy. And I just stabbed right into it right here. It equally too, did not
bleed and it closed right back up. I just banded it. But I did of course tell my parents, my dad,
I was pretty little. I was like five or six. I was cutting the hole in the grill. I was cutting
the hole in the nose for my late model car back in like 94, 95 with a hole saw and the hole saw
got out of control and that scar right there. So it got into the web of my hand right there and
like just ate it up. It was so painful. You've been through some dude. Yeah. I busted my head open.
I looked like Magnum TA blood coming all down my head. Busted my head up and skateboarding.
I blew my, I got a scar on my knee that goes from the front all the way to the back from
falling on a broken brick when I was about five, six years old. We were playing running through
the yard in this, we lived in these apartments in Canapas. Rainbow apartments is what it was called
and with mom before we went to live with dad and I was running through the yard or backyard of this,
you know, this property where this, you know, and there was a brick that it was broken in
half laying deep in the grass. You couldn't, it was like, you know, the grass was probably
tall enough to hide the brick and I just fell on it like getting tack old or felt, you know,
getting tripped or whatever. And I rolled over and I could see the bone. It was crazy. I could see,
I looked at my knee and I could see all kinds of white things in there. I was supposed to be able
to see. Yes, sir. I was like, Oh my God. My mom, we, she was dating the son of this old man who had
a family practice. And when I mean family practice is the kind of guy you went when you got a sore
throat. They took me in there. We go, we run over to her boyfriend's house. We ended up at the dads,
the actual doctor or a physician or whatever. And his, his practice was right across the street.
And so we run over there and he sewed it up and he put, it was a cut. I'm going to tell you,
I swear it was a cut about five inches long and he put seven stitches in it. Now, how many
stitches would you put in that today? 20, 30, a lot. He sewed that thing up with seven. I was
screaming. He didn't numb it. No. So I mean, they're holding me down. I'm screaming like hell.
And he sewed that thing up, put about seven stitches in it. And it's a big old. It looks
like a Frankenstein scar. Yes. It's a wide ugly scar because he didn't, didn't tighten it up enough.
Yeah. He didn't do enough to like, it was like, yeah, I remember having these big old bandages
and being afraid to even bend a damn thing because it had seven strings in it. I told
him, I'm going to put it together. I've got, I've got a scar on my wrist. I was chasing my
brother and he closed the screen door fast and I ran through the glass door and my mom
literally had to pull a piece of glass out. It's like right over. Right there next to your artery.
Yeah. Holy **** dude. That's so scary. Yeah. You boys. Yeah. They always say boys are like
always doing something and that's what they mean. You guys are just rough on yourself. I've got a
scar on my lip. I'd like to say that this was when I was young, but it was when I was like
30. I got a scar here. I had no idea where it came from. I woke up in a pool of blood in my
bedroom. Feel out of bed? Well, so my Uber said like 1 30 a.m. Your Uber? My Uber said that I got
dropped off at 1 30 at my apartment. You were an adult when this happened? I thought this was a
childhood thing. I'll show you the photos. I got this scar. I don't know how I got it. The falling
out of the bed thing could still be possible. I didn't fall. I was walking to the bed. I think I
tripped over my fan, face planted into my bed frame and I laid. I woke up at 3 40 in the pool of blood,
but I got all the blood out of the carpet. Club soda just doused it. But yeah, I'll show you the
big like I've got pictures of my face. When did this happen Travis? Yesterday actually last night.
It was like 2019. Dude. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I did stuff like that when I was little. I haven't done
that in a while. I haven't had any crashes. It was August 28th, 2021 actually. Damn. Damn son.
That's pretty impressive. Yeah. Well, I don't see a scar. Yeah. So you must have. I got lucky.
You got lucky. So we are about to go to Texas for Easter. We're going to take the camper again
and spend the weekend out at the farm and do our typical fiesta, if you will. And so we're excited
about that. Kenny actually arrived Tuesday. So he got there super fast to set up the camper for us
and we get to fly out this afternoon. I'm excited. That'd be fun. Yeah. Same team. There are 13 kids
this year. Golly. And now the girls are the age where like they can look forward to it and they
like it's something that they do. They're actually looking forward to it. So here's the thing. Hiding
the things now is hard because there are a certain group of kids that are questioning everything
and then there's some that are obviously old enough to know better anyway and still play along but
yeah, it's really hard to try to figure out how to hide everything because they're into everything
in the camper. It's like hard to hide. I don't mean just about anything from them anyway, but
especially in an environment like that. So I'm always nervous. We're just going to stumble across
all the goodies. Yeah. But it's otherwise very fun. Dale claims he's not on a candy kick right
now. Is that true? I wouldn't know because he usually binges his candy after I go to sleep.
He says that ever since the Key West trip, he's pulled back on his candy consumption.
Yeah. When the lady had that reaction that I brought my candy bag up to the counter and she
goes, whoa, your judgment. Yep. I think it worked. I need to dial it back.
Are you upset? Well, he's about to dad tax the heck out of these kids.
I have, so I got, I do want to do this and I told Nicole I might, but she's, we're, so we're
riding to school this morning and she's telling me about the Texas trip. She goes, Dad, remember
last year you were helping me find eggs during the Easter egg hunt? I was like, yeah. She's like,
yeah. I'm going to do that again, Dad. She didn't say that. She just goes, you remember that?
She remembers really good. She's got a lot of attention. Yeah, I do remember that. And I was
wanting her, or waiting for her to go, let's do that again or whatever. And I think she was
trying to get there, but, and she was like, let's play a game. I was like, all right. She goes,
my favorite food. And she, I said, man, I don't know. She goes, I said, is it a dessert? She goes,
yeah. I said ice cream. She goes, no. I said candy. She goes, yeah. I said, candy's not a food,
honey. We can't live on candy. She goes, well, okay. What's my favorite candy?
And I was like, he asked the question. And I was like, well,
she goes, it starts with an S. And I was like, hmm, she goes, it's sour. I was like,
she says it comes in a bag. I was like, what color is it? She goes, it's all colors.
And I'm like, okay. And I was like, skittles. She goes, those aren't sour. I'm like, they can be.
She goes, no, this is really, really sour. And I was like, starts with an S and she's back there
going, I'm like, I know what an S sounds like. She's just really trying to help you out. And it
was sour patch kids. And I was like, oh, I was like, that's what took the tooth out. When I went to
Key West, I got a bag of, of cry baby tears. Yeah. And I'm like, Coley, if you like sour,
I got a candy you need to try. It's real sour. Now it's sour, sour. She goes, oh,
another clue she gave me was hilarious. I was like, on the sour patch kids, I was like,
give me a clue. What's it shaped like? She goes kids. I'm like, wait, what? It's a candy. And it
looks like little people. And she goes, yep. And it's sour and you still didn't get it. I didn't.
I don't know. Do they, do they shape like kids? Yes. Sour patch kids. I know, but they're little
kids. Yes. Oh, I've never seen this. How have you not? Look, they all earn hard junior. They look
like a little crater kid. Well, there you go. I have never seen one. I've seen these bags, but
I've never helped. They fly straight from the bag straight to his mouth, straight past his vision.
I don't eat them. Well, that's what you were eating in Colorado when your truth came out.
They were just shaped like watermelons. Yes. Two deals defense. Look, this photo here.
There you go. Yeah, but they're called kids, sour patch kids. All right. So, all right. So that
happens. And I got, I said, I got this candy you need to try. And it's crybaby tears. Or I said,
it's crybabies. And she goes, are they shaped? Are those the ones that are individually wrapped?
They look like shaped like tears. And, but I don't know if they're crybaby tears or just crybabies,
but that's what it is. Yeah, I've never had those. And she goes, is it shaped like little babies?
I was like, no. That's a great question considering the kids. I was like, no, it's shaped like a
little tear. You're not going to eat babies. Well, we just got off to talking about little kids.
I know. And so she's thinking for sure, crybabies must be shaped like a baby. Yes. And she goes,
is it going to make me cry? I hope it don't make me cry. I'm like, no, I don't think it really
will make you cry. I feel like we need to give her some of these. Oh, we're gonna. And so,
after school, I said you could try one. You have some at home? Yes, I got them from Key West,
whole bag. Oh, you still have them. So he hasn't eaten his candy. He still hasn't eaten the Key West
candy. Look at them. There's a lot of it. I got crybaby tears, crybaby gum, and then some
caramels. What are the ones that are like little rounds and they usually are warheads. Warheads.
Yeah. Those are pretty good, but they're a hard candy. I like crybabies and the crybaby tears are
good. Super shower. I'll try one too. Yeah, they're good.
Hi guys, welcome to Ask Amy, Dale and I are in the Dirty Mo' Media Studios and we have had a lot
of fun conversation today. Hopefully you guys will check it out. What do you have Travis? So the
first question we had a few people ask is they want to know, did we have an update on the
Bunk Cake situation? Okay, so the Bunk Cake situation is yes. The Bunk Cake that Dale stole
is still to be determined. We don't know for sure if he truly stole the cake, but just about as
soon as the clip of us talking about the cake went out last week, the Bunk Cake ladies from the
store in Moorsville showed up at Junior Motorsports with another cake. Now we have three. Just wishing
us happy birthday. So that's, we're up to three Bunk Cakes. And there's a new cake that showed up at
the house. That is carrots on top of it. Yes. So I went to brunch yesterday with my girlfriends.
We worked out into Pilates and then we went to brunch and I got yet another carrot cake and we
had Buntini's at lunch. I got, the cake count has reached like seven or eight at this point.
Good Lord. Yes. So we have really made up for lost time with carrot cake.
But if you just mentioned something on the podcast, it just baseball cards, baseball cards,
cold beer, cold beer, cold beer, Chanel, Chanel, Chanel, Chanel.
Chanel? What? Oh my gosh. Yes. The cakes have really been plentiful this year.
And so I'm going to take the cake that I got yesterday because it hasn't been cut into Texas
for Easter. That explains why then, I think James was like yesterday, was like, hey,
there's a cake in the break room. Yeah. Another one. Yeah. We'll take it. Yeah, buddy.
Next question is, is there a movie you refuse to watch because it'll make you cry? Or is there a
movie that you watch that like you want a good cry? So I don't refuse to cry. I feel like
I'm going to be emotional just doing, I get emotional even watching video clips of his dad,
whom I've never met. It just like, I get really excited and big emotions just make me cry.
I've almost cried watching the rocket launch yesterday, you know, just because I got excited.
It took me back to my childhood. It gave me like Ronald Reagan era vibes when you were that age.
Does that make any sense to you? Yes, it is. Yeah. So sometimes I watch movies knowing I might cry
like a league of their own. I love that movie. It reminds me of like... You've got cried in the
league of their own. The sister relationship and all of the things. Oh yeah, when they come back
together at the end, I cry like a baby. I love that. I don't care to cry. We have a friend,
his name is Billy, who will purposely put on sad country songs because he wants to cry.
The end of Lonesome Dove. The end of Lonesome Dove makes you cry? Is that a thing that other
Yeah. When he takes Gus all the way, so Gus passes away, dies in that town after he wouldn't let
him amputate his leg. He took an arrow to the knee and he's like, he ain't cutting my leg off.
I'm not going to hobble around in a chair. So he dies and he promised him, so they had traveled
all the way up to Montana to create a ranch. Well, he dies. Now he said, you got to take me
all the way back to Texas and bury me next to the creek where I had this date with this girl
that I love. And so he's like, you son of a... So he drags him all the way back. Yeah. And now Woodrow,
I believe, is at the town. He has buried his friend and he's standing at the town and there's a guy
that walks up to like a journalist and he's like, hey, are you who I think you are? You were the
first one to do a cattle drive all the way up to Montana. He's like, yep. He's like, you and your
buddy did this, that and the other. He's like, yep. He's like, you brought your buddy all the way back
here after he passed away. He's like, I did. And it's just really emotional. I don't know. If you
watch, it's a, it's a lonesome dove. It's the love that makes you emotional. It's like their
relationship. It's the same thing for me watching. Lonesome dove is a mini series and it's an eight
hour thing, which isn't a big deal these days. Like trying to, I used to tell my friends like,
like I get my buddies and I'll be like, let's watch Lonesome Dove. And they're like,
that's a weird ass thing to do with your buddies. They're like, really? I'm like, man, it's good.
You feeling okay, Dale? And this ain't like, you know, if I would have said, hey, let's watch
an hour and a half long movie, you know, they'd have been like, cool. Okay. But I'm like, this is
eight hours and you're like, yeah, I'm not doing that. And but now people sit down and that's nothing.
Right. That was, see, I was ahead of my time. I was a banger before binging was cool,
but Lonesome Dove, man, if you ain't never watched it, the actors in that, the list of people down
lane, all the people that are in that insane. And, and the storyline is incredible. So if you
just went and read the cast, you would go, this is going to be good. But the storyline is really
awesome. They did a good job. I think I was in the ninth or twelfth grade when that came out.
Yeah, it's a good movie. Tom Lee Jones, Diane Lane, Ricky Schroeder, Chris Cooper, Timothy Scott,
Robert Ulrich, you remember him? Danny Glover. And Jonathan Houston. He was good. Robert DeVall
is one of the lead characters and he does an amazing job. Our dog is named after Captain
Augustus McCrae. That's right. Augustus after Steve Buscemi's in there. How about that? It's
a good Saturday binge. If you've got nothing to do. Oh, it's so good. You'll, you'll finish it
if you start it. Pretty good. You'll have to report back on if you cry. There is some sad moments
like Danny Glover gets killed and it's just like, you're like, no, man, you know, when you're watching
a show, people can appreciate this, right? Well, I think we all can. You'll get into a movie or a
series and one of your favorite character dies early. You're like, God dang. Yeah. No, man.
I hurt your feelings. I don't want that one to go, you know? Yeah.
That's how I was like, I watched Survivor and if you do, and you haven't watched last night,
turn away, but somebody got voted off. I did. And I was like, damn, I'm like that, like,
who you were rooting for. Yeah, I was like, that hurt. Like I wanted them to stay in there.
Who was it? I haven't watched Survivor in a long time. I don't want to say the name just in case
anybody's. Okay. Not watched yet. Yeah. Just in case. I don't want to be that person that's well,
but yeah, I'll, sometimes I'll put on like some sad country music or whatever and just
you're in one of those movies. I didn't pick that for you, sad country. Like if it's like,
let's say it's like a Friday night and you aren't doing anything and you got some meat,
you having a drink or two and put on some music and just like. Getting your feelings. Yeah. Sometimes
you just gotta. Sometimes you need it. And just release it. Yeah. But I know one of the movies
that was, I saw is people said Marlene Me's movie that like they, they know if they watch it, it's
just. I'm not watching a dog movie. Okay. So yes, Homeward Bound cried like a baby. Yeah. That one,
I don't think I wouldn't watch anymore. So back to the original question, I probably wouldn't put
that on because I can't handle that animals. Yeah. You know, going through stuff. People, yes,
but not animals. And I don't want the kids to see that either. Yeah. Break their little hearts.
Next question is they want to know, has Dale tried your face mask thing that you've been?
He has not. No. And I tried to do that kind of stuff when he's not around because he's just
going to clown the **** out of me. I walked into the bathroom the other night. She had it on.
You remember? No. Yes. Like three or four nights ago, maybe just a week ago, but I walked in there
and you had on this full thing and you giggled. Oh, they're talking about my LED mask. Yeah.
Yeah. So I have this like, it looks like a Jason mask that's sitting on the floor, the white one.
Oh. Yeah. Yeah. I try to do this. Yeah. No, I'm not doing that. No, not that you, no, you're not
doing it, but no, he, I try to do all of my voodoo, girly stuff when he is down there ripping
cards or playing video games or whatever he's doing. Yeah. Because I don't want to get into
like a clown. I mean, he has come up before and I've had masks on where I can't move my face,
so I can't even laugh with him. And it's like the laughing keeps going and it hurts. So,
you know, we've been together a long time. He's, he's seen quite a bit of it.
I found it funny just because it's dark and you're red and you just hear Amy's voice.
Yeah. I should, you know what I should do is put that damn thing on and creep up on his
ass and just turn it on and be like, boo. He's scared to **** out of me the last two nights
coming to bed. The next time that you wake up in the middle of the night and he's asleep,
put it on. I should. If you're not scaring him. I might try all that. If you're not trying to
scare your wife on a regular basis. Do you even like her? You're not having fun.
He used to jump out and scare me in the house all the time and then we had kids and now he's,
you know, does it with them. Yeah. But every once in a while, the other night, she was awake,
he'll scare me coming to bed. Yeah. I came upstairs at like 1030 and she's in bed,
scrolling on her phone. I was watching a video with this little girl who was suffering from
something that her mom was helping her with and I was like, oh, and I didn't know he was
standing in the doorway and he goes, oh, I'm like, you gotta fight fire with fire.
What? Yeah. Well, I'm standing there. It's dark, super dark, but you can probably see my silhouette
and so you couldn't because I had my phone light in my face. I couldn't see anything and I'm
sitting there and I'm like, man, I want her to look over here and get scared. And she goes,
and she's watching the thing and she goes, oh, she has no idea anyone's there. And she's like,
oh, and I was like, oh, man, and she talks to her phone. Was she like, she was like, I know,
but like, I was, I mean, I'd be, I hear you laugh all the time. Like you'll be watching TV
or whatever and she just cackles at the TV. Doesn't everyone? Yeah, but you know. Yeah,
he likes to scare me. He scared me last night just by accident because I happen to forget to
put my teeth aligners in before I went to sleep and so I went back to the bathroom. So I'm
in one doorway, he's coming in the other one and I didn't expect him because usually I can
hear him walking and he's, there he is again. I'm like, God, he loves it. God, he loves it when
he scares me, especially when it's by pure accident like that.
One more question here is they want to know what is your favorite scent or scents for candles?
Do you have ones that you like you always like to have at the house? Vanilla.
No, so I don't like, I don't like food smelling candles. Come on, TJ. Oh, TJ? TJ loves vanilla.
I said, TJ, what's your top three ice creams? He goes, well, vanilla's one. I'm like,
what the hell? You got to put like something. It's got to have some extra in it. But he's also
the type of guy that orders the kids grilled cheese or the kids cheese and turkey with no
spreads on it. And he'll double down and get some to go when he comes to the beach. He's going back
to the racetrack. That's what he eats for the next few days. So like that's, TJ is just vanilla.
That's who TJ is. What was the question again? I remember.
Candle scents that you like to have at the house. Yeah, I don't like food candle scents. So I like
sandalwood, anything kind of like woodsy, more masculine smelling or just something clean.
My favorite candle all the time, I think it's everyone's favorite. It's called Volcano and it
has like this lemony, just really clean scent. I'm a big like, you bought some, you've smelled them,
we have them. He's just trying to make notes. Like the ocean breeze kind of one, but I also love
like an apple cinnamon. So if it's like October, September and October, there's like a small little
window when I can deal with that. But like, I ain't going to burn the whole candle down.
I just like a day or two. So in the last couple of, uh, in the last couple of weeks,
I may be, I say weeks and the last couple of months I've caught Nicole playing with the candles.
Yeah, I can't burn candles with Nicole in the house. She blows them all out.
So we got a candle over by the front door that's three or four. It's a big giant one. Yeah. It's
upstairs and I can look over the, over the banister and she's standing there and she, I heard her go
and I walk over and one of the wicks is done out and the other three are still lit. And I go,
you mess with that candle? And she goes, Nope. And I was like, you sure? She goes, Nope, just
standing here. And I was like, be careful now. We mess with that. And that sucks too, because
that type of candle, if you don't have all the wicks burning, it doesn't melt right. And then
the whole thing gets screwed up. You get a tunnel and it's the worst. Yeah, you gotta,
they gotta burn evenly. Yeah. But I like clean smell, clean, crisp,
non-food smelling for the most part. But yeah, if it's fall, I can deal with like pumpkin,
spice or apple. So Nicole told me something that makes a lot of sense today. We was riding
school in the car and we were talking about favorite, uh, I was like asking her what her
favorite new cartoon was. And then I said, all right, tell me a show that you used to watch
that you don't like anymore. You know, we're going through all these little things. I was just curious
what she would say. And she says, my favorite cartoon character. And I'm like, Oh, who is it?
She goes, Wednesday. And I'm like, this tracks. Yeah. 100%. She's found the Adams family and
there's a cartoon now about Wednesday and she's obsessed. She likes creepy everything. That's
her. Oh, she is a little Wednesday. Is it not? Yeah. She's in the, she's always kind of like
messing with things. She knows she shouldn't do, she knows she ain't supposed to touch,
she knows she don't touch that. You know, can I tell you something really weird that she did the
other day? You sure you want the world to know it? Maybe not. Maybe I'll tell you later. Yeah.
I think that the Wednesday thing, like you said tracks, but she's like, she likes to take things
apart. She wants to, she likes creepy stuff. Like she likes snakes. We went to Sweetgrass the other
day to do Easter baskets and she went straight for these little 3d printed critters and like picked
out all the little snakes, which is why we have all those now. So she's really into that. So we
might, we could end up being the Adams family for Christmas or for Halloween. Well, she would
definitely probably enjoy being Wednesday, but that was a new revelation for me. All right.
Well, that's all we got for this week. All right. Thank you guys for your questions. Hope you

About this episode
The Dale Jr. Download swings from rocket launches to reality-TV chaos. Dale and the crew get genuinely emotional watching humans head around the moon, then debate social media backlash to Dale’s “how did I not know?” tweet. The conversation turns to a SpaceX-style toilet malfunction, a “mesa phonia” joke about loud chewers, and the ongoing “Scamanda” drama from Summer House—Amanda and Kyle’s divorce, West’s alleged involvement, and whether it’s real or staged. Later, they cover communion mishaps, childhood injury stories, Easter plans in Texas, and a lively Ask Amy segment (cakes, crying movies, candles, and candy clues).
Original notes
Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Amy are back with an episode that covers a little bit of everything. What starts with Dale realizing a major rocket launch was happening without him knowing quickly turns into a conversation about social media, the news, and how fast things can spiral online. Along the way, they get into unexpected topics, share personal stories, and revisit moments that bring out both curiosity and humor.
They also dive into reality TV, including all the Summer House drama, along with family life and behind-the-scenes stories you would not expect, before wrapping things up with Ask Amy. As always, the episode is honest, unpredictable, and full of the kind of conversations that feel like you are right there with them. Leave your questions for next week’s Ask Amy in the comments.
