About this episode
Amy and Dale Jr. kick off with Nashville race-week nerves and a debate over how to spell “Imel,” sparked by a misprinted merch shirt and a public poll that sided against them. The conversation then veers into Texas Easter and fifth-wheel life, in-law luck, and a “drink of the week” (High Rock Vodka’s Azalea). Expect plenty of laughs about allergies, audible fart etiquette, and reality-TV conspiracy talk about Summer House. The show ends with a rapid-fire “this or that” game, flower personality picks, and Ask Amy questions.

Dale and Amy are back with a can’t-miss episode of Bless Your ‘Hardt, and this one has a little bit of everything. They share stories from their trip to Texas, including time with Amy’s family and life out at the camper, before getting into Nashville race prep and why Dale is already fired up for the weekend. They also revisit the now technically settled “Imol” debate, but neither of them is ready to agree with the results. Add in some outfit talk, allergy struggles, and the Drink of the Week, plus their take on reality TV drama like “Scamanda” from Summer House, and things get interesting fast.
It only gets more unfiltered from there. Dale fully leans into his “farting guy” era with stories that spiral quickly, including moments with Amy’s family and even on planes. The crew dives into this or that debates covering naps, date nights, and sweatpants etiquette, and Ask Amy questions about everything from rockets to dream TV shows. They also get into food hot takes, cooking fails, and some hilarious relationship moments that feel a little too real. It all wraps up with a preview of Dale heading to Nashville to race, so don’t miss this one.

Too Afraid to Ask
Term
fifth wheel
"We took our new fifth wheel. This is the second time we used it at Daytona and then we took it out to Texas."
A fifth wheel is a big RV trailer that you tow with a pickup truck. It hooks into the truck in a special way so it feels more stable and roomy inside.
A fifth wheel is a type of towable RV that connects to the bed of a pickup truck using a special hitch. It typically offers more interior space and stability than a traditional bumper-pull trailer, which is why many families use them for longer trips.
Term
Daytona
"This is the second time we used it at Daytona and then we took it out to Texas."
Daytona is a famous racing area in Florida. If they used their fifth wheel there, it likely means they went for a race weekend and camped with the RV.
Daytona is a major motorsports hub in Florida, best known for events at Daytona International Speedway. Mentioning it in the context of using an RV suggests they were towing and camping for a race weekend.
Term
base model
"We got a base model last year and had that for several, actually a couple of years and learned about the fifth wheel life."
“Base model” here means the simpler version of the RV. It usually has fewer features than the upgraded one they later bought.
“Base model” means they started with a simpler, lower-trim version of the fifth wheel. In RV terms, that often translates to fewer features, smaller floorplan options, or less built-in convenience compared with upgraded trims.
Concept
mid-bunk action
"and then decided to get a little bit of an upgrade and a little mid-bunk action for the girls."
A mid-bunk is an extra sleeping spot inside the RV, usually a small bed/bunk placed toward the middle. It’s meant to give kids or guests their own sleeping area.
“Mid-bunk” refers to a layout in a fifth wheel/large RV where sleeping bunks are placed in the middle section of the coach. It’s a common family-focused configuration because it creates extra sleeping capacity without taking over the main living area.
Term
campers
"And we bring all, everybody brings their campers, [521.1s] so they've, your dad's kind of modernized the electricity out there a little bit [524.1s] to be able to handle a handful of campers."
Here, “campers” means RVs or trailers people bring to camp. They’re talking about making the property ready so those vehicles can stay there comfortably.
In this context, “campers” refers to recreational vehicles used for camping—often travel trailers or RVs. The discussion is about accommodating multiple RVs at a property during gatherings.
Term
electricity out there
"everybody brings their campers, [521.1s] so they've, your dad's kind of modernized the electricity out there a little bit [524.1s] to be able to handle a handful of campers."
They’re talking about adding power to the property so RVs can use electricity. That makes it easier for several campers to stay there without everyone running out of power.
They’re describing adding electrical service to the property to support RVs. For RV gatherings, this usually means installing power availability so multiple campers can run appliances and charge devices.
Term
hookups
"The first time we came out and tried to do that, [527.8s] we didn't have hookups for everybody, [529.5s] so it was kind of a mess."
“Hookups” are the connections that let an RV plug in and use utilities while it’s parked. If there aren’t enough hookups, everyone can’t be comfortable at the same time.
“Hookups” are the utility connections that RVs need to stay parked—most commonly electrical power and sometimes water/sewer. The speakers say early on they didn’t have hookups for everyone, which made the setup chaotic.
Term
1.75
"So very soon you'll be able to go over to the store and get you a big old 1.75. And remember to drink responsibly."
They’re talking about bottle size. “1.75” usually means a 1.75-liter bottle, which is a common big bottle for spirits.
“1.75” is shorthand for a 1.75-liter bottle size, which is a common liquor bottle volume. It’s often used to describe standard “big bottle” formats at stores.
Concept
Google Earth
"And I'll get on my phone and look Google Earth the address and see what's there. It's still there."
Google Earth lets you look at places using satellite images. Here, it’s being used to check if an old business from the 1950s is still there today.
Google Earth is a satellite-mapping tool that lets you view locations and compare what’s there now versus historical addresses. In this context, it’s used to verify whether an old motel/advertised business still exists.
Concept
Transmission shop
"I found this whole transmission shop that's still owned by this family, still family ran that was opened in the fifties."
A transmission shop is where mechanics work on the car’s gearbox. It’s a place that fixes problems so the car can shift properly.
A transmission shop specializes in repairing and servicing a vehicle’s transmission system. The mention of a family-run shop opened in the 1950s highlights how long some automotive service businesses can survive.
Concept
Roval
"[3174.9s] Ralph Speedway? [3174.9s] Ralph, I don't know. [3176.6s] Ralph's Roval. [3177.1s] The Ralph Raceway? [3177.9s] The Ralph Roval. [3179.2s] I hate the Roval."
A roval is a track layout that blends an oval and a road course. Instead of just going left around an oval, you also get sections with more turns like a road course.
A “roval” is a hybrid race course that combines an oval track with a road-course section. It’s used to create more variety—mixing high-speed oval laps with tighter road-course corners—often leading to more overtaking opportunities.
Term
socket wrench
"You can name like a really handy practical tool after me, like a household tool. Some kind of a socket wrench."
A socket wrench is a tool for turning bolts and nuts. It uses different “tips” (sockets) so you can fit many bolt sizes.
A socket wrench is a hand tool that uses interchangeable sockets to turn nuts and bolts. It’s commonly used for everyday mechanical tasks because it fits different fastener sizes without needing multiple separate wrenches.
Term
Z clip
"We've been hanging photos. You had the string across the back and you hung it on the string and you did this. And then sometimes there might be some hooks on each side or you could do the Z clip."
A Z clip is a small metal mounting bracket shaped like a “Z” that lets you hang a framed item by hooking it onto a corresponding support. It’s a common alternative to using picture wire or side hooks for hanging frames.
Term
picture wire
"We've been hanging photos. You had the string across the back and you hung it on the string and you did this. And then sometimes there might be some hooks on each side or you could do the Z clip."
Picture wire is the wire on the back of a frame that you hang on a hook. By moving the frame slightly, you can get it straight on the wall.
Picture wire is the thin wire used on the back of frames to hang them at a chosen height. It’s often paired with small hooks or wall anchors and can be adjusted to level the frame.
Term
back marker
"Jamie says take a piece of painter's tape and put it across the back marker exactly where you want the nails to go and then put the painter's tape on the wall."
They’re talking about the spot on the back of the thing you’re hanging that tells you where the nail should go. The tape helps you copy that spot onto the wall.
A “back marker” here likely refers to a reference point on the back of the item (like a hanging picture/tapestry) that indicates where the nail or hook should land. Using tape across that point transfers the exact location to the wall.
Term
painter's tape
"Jamie says take a piece of painter's tape and put it across the back marker exactly where you want the nails to go and then put the painter's tape on the wall."
Painter’s tape is a tape that sticks lightly and usually won’t peel off your paint. People use it as a guide so they can mark where to put screws or nails.
Painter's tape is a low-tack masking tape used to mark surfaces without damaging paint. In DIY mounting, it’s often used as a temporary template so you can place fasteners accurately.
Term
nails
"exactly where you want the nails to go and then put the painter's tape on the wall. [3497.4s] Yeah, we've hung things like that before. [3498.3s] Put your nails in and then take the tape off."
Nails are the hardware that holds the hanging item to the wall. Where you put them affects whether the picture hangs straight.
Nails are fasteners used to secure items to walls. For hanging art, the nail placement and spacing determine whether the item sits level and doesn’t shift.
Term
center of the wall
"And now you got to like, you know, find the center of the wall. [3510.8s] Now you got to measure the distance between the two nails, [3513.3s] wherever the saw two things are."
They’re describing how to line things up so they look centered. If there are two hanging points, you measure between them and find the middle.
Finding the “center of the wall” is a layout step to keep symmetrical items aligned. When there are two mounting points, you measure the distance between them and locate the midpoint so the item hangs evenly.
Term
crybaby tear
"Next question is, did Nicole try the crybaby tear? [3564.2s] Yes. [3564.6s] She did."
“Crybaby tears” is a type of super sour candy. People try them to see if they can handle the sour flavor.
“Crybaby tears” are a brand of extremely sour candy shaped like gummy/fruit-flavored pieces. In the context of the episode, they’re being discussed as a novelty snack that people try to see how sour it really is.
Term
sand in your food
"No more sand in your food. I remember that."
They’re talking about accidentally getting gritty stuff—like sand—into a meal, which makes it unpleasant. It’s basically a contamination problem that can happen if ingredients aren’t cleaned well.
“Sand in your food” is a metaphor for grit/contamination that ruins a dish. In seafood or outdoor-cooking contexts, it often points to handling, rinsing, or sourcing issues.
Term
salt will melt down
"No, it was absolutely sick because the salt will melt down and it took, it was sand."
Salt can dissolve and disappear when it gets wet or heated. That’s why they’re talking about whether the problem was actually sand or just something about how salt behaved in the food.
They’re describing how salt dissolves or breaks down when it contacts moisture/heat. In cooking terms, that can change texture and how noticeable grit (like sand) becomes.
Term
fish bones
"That's another thing, the fish bones. Like we'll, I hate that."
Fish bones are a common issue with whole or fresh fish because small bones can remain even after preparation. This is why some people prefer fillets or fish prepared with bone removal.
Term
farm raised
"When you get fresh fish though, that's not farm raised. They, they have little tiny fish bones in them sometimes."
Farm-raised fish are grown in fish farms instead of caught in the wild. The speaker is saying the type of fish can affect how likely you are to find tiny bones.
“Farm raised” refers to aquaculture fish grown in controlled environments. The speaker contrasts farm-raised fish with fresh wild-caught fish, implying differences in bone content or handling.

The following is a production of Dirty Moe Media.
Oh, yeah, this is where it's going to be, girl.
If we're going to hang out, open a bunch of jars,
you've got big, strong hands.
Are you suffering from high-crack?
I'm working.
Working that mouth.
Hey, guys, welcome to the Dirty Moe Media Studio.
This is Amy and Dale Jr., the one and the only.
We have a good show for you today. Let's get started.
I feel like you're just excited
because you're going to Nashville today.
No, I'm not.
That's such a fool.
That's not it.
It is too.
It isn't.
I'm looking forward to driving the race car,
but we've got two full days of practice.
It's like too much, but if I don't go,
I mean, the other teams are there,
so I've got to go because the other teams are going to go.
If I don't go today, I'm giving them a whole days
of practice to get a head start.
I think we should just be going tomorrow in practice.
I am happy today because you are looking awesome.
I told you that yesterday and today.
Your hair looks great, your makeup looks great.
I mean, thanks, honey, but that can't be why
you f***ing matched your outfit.
You're excited because you're going to Nashville
because you get to race your car.
Whether you want to admit it or not,
whether the extra day of practice is in there.
I'm trying to tell you the truth.
You're getting excited and if you're not excited,
then why are you going?
So.
You're excited.
We had a poll a couple of weeks ago
about the spelling of the word Imel.
We did.
We had an entire situation with the shirt
that was created without our input.
For folks that don't know, it's a word that I say,
I don't even know or try.
I'm not trying to say it.
I don't know what I'm saying it,
but Imel is a word I use a lot to tell you.
I'm going to do this.
I'm going to.
I'm going to.
It's a smashed up version of I'm going to.
We, Amy and I, Amy is the one that recognized I say it.
And she was the first one to say,
okay, I think it's spelled this way.
And so we've, this is something we've done
between us for years.
Yeah, I do it just to make fun of him or to make him laugh.
But I always type it out.
We started talking about it on this show.
Yes.
Dirty Mo Media wanted to make a shirt.
And when I saw the shirt for the first time,
they had this word spelled wrong.
And so we had a debate and we sent the vote out
to the public, how should we spell this word?
And from what we've been told,
the public has determined that me and Amy
were spelling it incorrectly all these years.
I feel like that's complete.
How can we spell it wrong when it's our word?
Well, Dalton spelled it I apostrophe M apostrophe L L,
which feels completely ridiculous.
And so I've always texted it to Dale if I'm,
you know, for whatever reason, spelling it out, I-M-O-L.
Like it's just one little word that doesn't make any sense.
It's not English.
It's just a word that he says out loud.
That's how I spelled it.
I phonetically just spelled it out, I-M-O-L.
But we lost, we freaking lost.
The polls, the polls did not agree with us.
I thought for sure we would win.
I thought the Dale vote,
I thought the fans were just blindly support Dale.
I agree.
Well, I honestly feel like maybe I didn't campaign at all
or enough, but-
I think maybe they just saw the poll and didn't maybe-
Associate which one was which?
Yeah.
Yeah, they just went with their gut.
Maybe we need a revote?
No, it is what it is.
Listen, if they went with their gut
and that's what they really feel, then that's fine.
But I just feel like since I'm gonna,
well, first of all, I'm just gonna keep spelling it
the way I wanna spell it.
But if you buy that shirt, that's just weird.
I think we should sell both options.
Oh yeah.
And see which one sells the most
and put under yours Dale's version, Dale and Amy's version.
Like Taylor Swift.
Yes.
Taylor's version.
And then see which one sells the most.
Well, the other day, Amy and I were talking
and she has her very own amul.
I don't agree that this is true.
It was an accident.
It was an accident.
Well, she said the other day,
I was talking about me and dad and she said,
did y'all, did y'all, did y'all, did y'all?
I threw y'all together
because I just got hung up on my big teeth.
She's trying to say did y'all.
And she goes, did y'all such and such and such and such?
Did y'all put that over there?
Did y'all run that that way?
And I was like, what?
Do you have your very own amul?
I believe you do.
I mean, I've said y'all for.
So it's D apostrophe J-A-L-L.
Did y'all?
I mean, I feel like that's pretty normal for a Texan to say.
We had just come back from Texas
when you asked me whatever it was.
Maybe I was just around my family too much.
I came home and had a new word.
You do that when you hang out with your friends.
You come home and you're talking all kinds of crazy.
I don't know, it's y'all.
We did go to Texas for Easter.
We took our new fifth wheel.
This is the second time we used it at Daytona
and then we took it out to Texas.
It's awesome.
We got a base model last year
and had that for several, actually a couple of years
and learned about the fifth wheel life
and then decided to get a little bit of an upgrade
and a little mid-bunk action for the girls.
We've had to repair a few things that we've broken.
It's not the camp's fault.
Camper's fault, it's us being rough on shit fault.
Yeah, we broke some shit in there.
Which I love working on it.
It's easy to fix things.
And Kenny, my bus driver still takes care of
some of a lot of it for us and drove it to Texas for us
and back, it'll be, it's been a new, nice addition.
But Texas Easter, such a good time.
I always, I love, I'm serious about this.
Like I feel so lucky that I got.
My family?
Your family, yeah, yeah.
So like, you don't know how that's gonna go
with your in-laws.
You don't and sometimes it takes time
to develop the relationship.
As a male, it is like beat in our brains from a young age
that we're not supposed to lack our in-laws.
Yeah, why is that?
Who tells you that?
Men are supposed to dislike their mother-in-laws,
their in-laws, there's jokes that are told,
you hear them when you're hanging around,
your dad and his buddies at the picnic table.
And they're just, and then you hear it.
It's in pop culture, comedy, it's just all these,
in-laws, in-laws, in-laws are this negative thing
or this thing you're not gonna enjoy
or something that's gonna be in your life,
you're gonna have to tolerate.
But I got really lucky.
Well, I wasn't worried when you met my family,
but I was more worried about how they would receive you
being around celebrity because none of us had ever met
anybody that had any stature or whatever before.
But they welcomed you with open arms.
And so like going back there is just relaxing and fun.
It really is, we just hang out,
everybody's in a good mood,
everybody's there to drink some beer and just make memories.
There's no real agenda.
That's the only thing, like when we get down there,
I'm always worried that we're not gonna have anything to do,
like we're gonna be bored and we're never bored.
There's always something happening,
the kids are always outside running around playing
for a wheeling, whatever, so it's a lot of fun.
Yep, they got this old farm in the middle of,
it's just, imagine Texas brush.
Texas brush in the middle of nowhere,
and they got a farm that their grandparents
and many generations actually lived in.
Yes, actually one of our relatives
that came over from Germany is buried out on that property.
Right, and so out in the middle of the brush.
Yeah, so it's got a lot of, it's very, very cool
and got tons of, the family's very connected to it
and they take care of it.
And it's only, it's a place where we go for holidays
and gatherings and all that stuff.
And we use the house, we go in the kitchen,
we feed and cook and eat around the table
and play games and stuff.
And we bring all, everybody brings their campers,
so they've, your dad's kind of modernized
the electricity out there a little bit
to be able to handle a handful of campers.
Yeah, the first time we came out and tried to do that,
we didn't have hookups for everybody,
so it was kind of a mess.
And so since then we've developed.
So he's done a really good job.
Yeah, but it's nice that you're on space too.
Yeah, you have your own space.
You don't feel like you're invading.
And you don't have to drive anywhere.
So we used to like, everybody came out,
everybody went back into town
and that back and forth got to be a little taxing
and then you couldn't really enjoy yourself
like we all wanted to.
So the camping thing is so fun.
Yeah, but it was a blast.
We took a ton of high rock out there and dispersed.
Yeah, we came home with nothing.
Everybody got their own little stash.
We take the camper, we'll have beer,
we'll have high rock, some roaming man, some sun drop,
and we leave it all to Frank,
cause it's like more, it's just more.
He just sets it out on one of the card tables.
He's like, come one, come all.
We had the minis, we had the big boys, we had all of it.
It was, everybody loves that.
Speaking of high rock,
we got the drink of the week presented by High Rock Vodka.
It is called the Azalea.
Do you know what the Azalea is?
It's, I can tell you what's in it.
It's the official drink of the masters.
Oh, that's a masters week.
Yeah, okay, that makes sense.
Yeah.
It is the masters week.
Travis's favorite thing on the planet.
One half ounce of high rock vodka,
five ounces of lemonade, and a half ounce of grenadine.
If I drink grenadine, I break out in halves.
Allegedly.
Allegedly.
Yeah, allegedly.
We don't know for sure,
cause I've never been tested for allergies, but.
And he only breaks out after he's had a thousand beers
and then.
I've got an allergy story to tell you
after you're done with this.
So you fill a glass with ice, pour in your high rock vodka,
lemonade, grenadine, stir, garnish it with a cherry.
For me, I'm going to drink classic red bull and vodka.
The red bull red is not too, not too bad.
I actually like it.
It's very refreshing.
It is.
It's so good.
Yeah.
You could probably pound a few of those
if you were out in the sun watching some golf.
Tomorrow, that's all I'm gonna be doing.
Azalea day.
Speaking of allergies though,
I called to try to get an allergy appointment
for like, I've been seasoned a bunch.
They said I have to go three days
without taking any like a leg or a claretin.
I won't make it three days.
Really?
Like.
You're one of those people that has allergies.
And it's the worst it's ever been.
I don't like, how am I supposed to go three days
without any medicine?
Yeah.
I don't know.
Maybe this isn't the time of the year to do allergies.
Allergies test.
Or you have to do it when it's like allergy season.
Well, I just hope I could get something
so I would stop being so like congested.
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
Well, we have that going on in our house
so you can hear Dale's voice.
I have just.
I've just gotten to where every season
she gets an ear infection.
It doesn't matter how much I get ahead of it.
I think I just got a head cold.
I've had it since Friday.
He refuses to believe that pollen has an effect on him.
I've just had it.
I don't have allergies.
I've never had them.
You can, you can get it every once in a while.
You don't have to have like an allergy to the trees.
But there's, the pollen is so bad right now.
Oh, it's ridiculous.
Like you walk outside and there's a whole sheet of yellow
all over the porch.
I'm sure I'm bothered by that.
But I think, we went to Texas around Friday.
I started feeling like I get in a head cold.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, they have pollen in Texas too.
They have pollen everywhere.
I don't know.
I feel like that's what it is
cause you don't feel bad.
It's just stuffiness.
I don't feel too bad.
I take, I need about an hour in the morning to get going.
I feel like crap and then I can get going.
Pressure in your face.
Yeah.
I think that's all it is for someone.
Interesting.
Yeah.
So I've never had an allergy test though, have you?
The worst.
Why are they the worst?
Cause they take these like...
Little needles?
Needles and prick your back all over
and see what you're allergic to.
That sounds kind of fun.
Sounds good.
No, it's not fun.
Cause then you just have these reactions on your back.
And now you're itchy.
I can't see them.
Oh.
My back's itchy right now.
So what?
All you need is a basic a** lawn chair
and just to scratch your back on.
I need an old man scraper, a little hand,
a little wooden hand.
Like I'm, I'm...
Yeah, they're not fun.
I do want to know though, if I'm allergic to anything.
Maybe I've been allergic to something my whole life
and didn't know it.
I don't know.
I feel like you've got a milk,
a milk, a little bit of a milk intolerance.
Seems to mess your belly up.
If I...
That's going too far.
If I, if I fart,
Amy goes, Amy.
So we're around each other literally almost 24 seven.
So if I've eaten anything, a snack or a meal,
she knows most likely what it was.
And so if I fart, she goes right to that thing.
Well, there it is.
That beef jerky.
Oh, it's a glass of water you just drank.
Not water.
Come on now.
I met him all he ate was chicken wings, pizza.
What else?
Damn.
Stir fry, like most very salty, a lot of dairy.
Like he eats cereal.
And his belly was wrecked.
Like it smelled like a dead animal every time I farted.
But what's, if you're farting in your own...
Farts are not supposed to smell good.
It doesn't like that anymore.
It doesn't smell like it used to.
My God, it does not.
But if you're farting in private, I don't see the issue.
I don't know why it's such like this.
He never farts in private.
He never farts in private.
He waits till he's around people to do it.
Dude.
This is like one of his crying and joy.
So no, this is so true.
So this is like I'm calling myself out.
We were sitting around the Texas family.
It's her dad.
Day one, we just gotten there.
Her dad got married and there's this whole other family
that joins us now, right?
So there's other married, two married couples, their kids.
There's, I mean...
Bonus sisters and families, yes.
And they've been in this life, you know, for...
I've known Amy for over a decade
and I've known her family for over a decade,
but these are some newer folks that are still in year
like six or whatever.
Yeah.
And so, you know, we're not,
we only see each other a couple of times a year at these holidays.
We're sitting there in these, you know, around the campers.
And I had a fart and I just let it rip.
And like I would if I was sitting on my couch
and as soon as I farted, I was like,
I just farted in front of everybody
and they all were like...
Everyone.
I mean, all of them were like, what the heck?
It had an audible, like it was very audible.
And I'm like, I just look over, I'm like, wow,
like he's that comfortable.
I'm like, whoops, damn.
You know, you just, and I knew I was gonna fart enough.
I was the one that chose to fart.
And I was like, it ain't like it slipped out.
It was like...
This is happening.
He's reached this stage of life.
Yes.
What in the hell?
Not just being comfortable around people, my people.
Your people, which are your people, but...
I will.
He's just at that age where like it's happening
where any of you people care about it or not.
It's really possible that I could go over to the office
at Dirty Mo Media, you know?
All you guys are hanging out around your cubicles and whatnot.
And I might, I might could just like be that comfortable
just to let it, well, it wouldn't rip.
Just to ruin the entire environment.
I'm not that comfortable yet to do that.
I am.
And then, but immediately as soon as it happens,
I go, damn it, why did I do that?
Like this is not the place.
The thought process is backwards.
Yeah, it's absolutely backwards.
It's like there's no filter or, oh, maybe I should get up.
It's just, it happens.
And then he's like, aw, damn it.
I mean, I deal with burping too.
Oh, burps.
Yeah, what do I burp all the time?
And I'm always burping.
It's like a belt, just like a light burp.
Yeah, I'm always burping around people.
And I'm like,
So like there's something too,
maybe you shouldn't have eaten that.
I know, but I'm just saying like,
I don't even, I don't have that.
I used to, I used to like hold a fart
till I got off by myself or, you know,
not try not to burp in front of people.
I used to, I used to.
But it stopped.
It's gone.
That's just gone.
It's just gone.
I don't prefer your system to let it go.
I do not prefer it.
I don't, I don't prefer to be that way.
But I don't know what happened.
Like I've got, I've lost the like etiquette.
Yeah.
And, and even the self-awareness, I guess.
I don't know.
I don't think you've lost the awareness
because you're, you feel, you feel it's not afterwards.
I'll burp or fart in, in a public, with a group of people.
And, and I, as soon as it happens, I go,
why did I do that?
Why did the fuck did I do that?
I don't need to fart around these people.
I don't need to hear me farting.
No one else is farting audibly.
You know what else?
That's the thing.
No one else is just ripping, ripping farts.
I don't know.
I used to laugh because I think the rumor was
that Ryan Newman farted all the time.
And, you know, you'd be riding a plane with him
and you're like, see, farting on us.
He didn't have that reputation.
Yes.
Huh?
He did have that reputation.
Right.
And you're riding on a plane.
You're thinking, is he farting on us?
And then you're thinking, you're in a plane,
like going to the race and you gotta, you know,
you're in one of those planes with all the people in there.
And you're like, how many people are here farting?
Yeah.
Quietly, you know, just playing just full of fart air.
I've been on one of the team planes before
and it's like a giant hot box.
They are farting all over you and it is gross.
That's the worst when you're on a plane
and you, you gotta fart and you're like,
okay, maybe if I just let out quietly
and then don't move my butt cheeks,
it'll just stay under it.
It'll sink into the seat.
It'll slowly go away.
The problem is the seats aren't fabric anymore.
They're all leather.
So like there's no soaking up.
It's going to go somewhere.
That is a dangerous proposition.
Farting on a commercial airline.
That is a dangerous proposition.
Especially if you're trying to think
you can get a quiet one out and then it's not.
And it's not.
Well, what if you didn't,
then you're not around your friendly people.
I'm more worried about the smell.
Cause.
Cause it's the thing.
Yes. It's okay.
It's how we started this conversation.
Yeah.
I think a lot of us are very capable
of sliding one out without anybody noticing audibly,
but the smell and I mean, you know,
I still sneak my farts around my girlfriend.
I haven't just let one out yet.
Really?
Yeah.
That's sweet of you.
They all led with it.
Wait till she falls asleep.
He's like, this is how it's going to be lady.
Yeah.
You're going to hang around with me.
Maybe I should have done that.
I hit a few from you.
A few. It doesn't.
Once you leave one out, it doesn't matter.
Yeah.
We went a few days.
I don't know.
I don't, it's hard to remember.
So too long ago.
Well, we were talking about
High Rock Vodka and the drink of the week.
Don't forget about going to the website
highrockvodka.com to find a bottle near you.
We'll have those, the new big handles out later.
In May.
In May.
Yeah.
So very soon you'll be able to go over to the store
and get you a big old 1.75.
And remember to drink responsibly.
You must be 21 or over.
Can we talk about Scamander right quick?
Can we just hit back on Scamander?
Yes, let's do it.
I wonder if anybody gave a sh** about that last week.
Cause you know, we're not.
We aren't the gossip columnists.
We're not the gossip news.
We might be the gossip show.
We are now.
We just don't know it.
We're usually just gossiping about ourselves.
Yeah.
We usually talk about ourselves.
Yes.
But.
This is a self-defication show.
I don't mind talking sh** about this
because we enjoy the show and we watch it and.
Yes, we are invested.
Our time is invested.
It is.
But when we started the show,
we knew that a lot of the people that initially
were going to watch it,
were going to be the race fans,
originally race fans, right?
NASCAR fans and all that.
So we were kind of like,
hey man, this show's not going to be
what you're saying to Dale Jr. download, right?
And so, but I think we're in the place now
where we've done enough of these
that people can kind of know what to expect
or not be too thrown off.
Yeah, no, no.
When we talk about.
I think based on the responses last week.
If we were to talk some reality television.
Yeah, there are plenty of people
that aren't just listening to this.
They are also watching these shows.
I felt like there was a lot of response.
There was.
That is positive.
But I'm going to tell you.
Have you changed your mind?
I've had so many clips coming at me.
So many little memes and clips
and then people analyzing all the things.
That's been my favorite part
is watching all of the other die-hards,
like over-analyze.
Going back and watching the old shows.
And timeline and posts.
Like there are people cross examining post-times
with songs and all the I have a feeling that it's all.
I think it's all.
Kyle's Lover Boy is like flying off the shelves.
Carl is a mess.
His business has been saved.
What is that?
So when he was interviewed,
he was talking about on the street,
he said that Carl is a mess.
And everyone's like,
what does Carl have to do about this whole thing?
What does Carl have to do with anything?
And so now they're selling merch and it's like sold out.
And he and Carl really weren't on the best of terms
in the last episode.
They ended in the summer on very good terms.
So I don't know.
What does Carl have to do with that?
Exactly.
Exactly.
I think it's all a ruse.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Sierra was doing a, she's been doing this,
but she's on a red carpet doing interviews.
The whole thing is a put on.
I think the whole fricking things a put on.
Wow.
And where's Amanda?
I didn't think you were gonna do that.
She disappeared.
I didn't think you were gonna say that.
I thought you were just gonna switch sides.
I feel like they all knew what was happening all along.
Kyle and Amanda, we're gonna plan to get divorced.
I think that they were...
You know what else is a put on?
Spilling around all summer underneath our nose in the show.
You know what else is a put on?
What?
Eminence front.
Okay.
It's a put on.
That's such a great song.
You are, squirrel.
Did you see a squirrel?
It's my favorite song in the world.
That was actually well played.
It's my favorite song ever.
I don't think it was a put on though.
You don't?
I do.
I really do.
Did you see the interview that Sierra did with,
why am I forgetting her name?
Sydney Sweeney, or what?
Sydney Sweeney, yes.
And Sydney's watching the show.
So, you know, everybody's paying attention
to this coming into thing.
And she says something about like,
what happens next if you cheat on your ex,
if your best friend steals your ex,
you must get married, right?
To make it worth it.
I feel like the whole thing is just like,
why is she even talking about it?
Who?
Is it that?
Sierra.
And then Sydney Sweeney,
they're like talking to each other about it.
Sydney suggests that like,
now they should get married, Amanda and Wes.
But yeah, because if you're gonna go this far
and burn bridges and friendships,
then you better be in it for,
it better be more than just sex.
You can't just be in it for that.
That's why I think it's all fake.
I don't think that any bridges burn,
I think it's all, I think Sierra's getting her moment.
I think Loverboy's getting back on the,
flying back off the shelves
and everybody's getting laid whole.
Is Loverboy's going off the shelves?
Yes, Kyle's posted a video the other day.
He's like, you guys have no idea how much,
his products are back-ordered.
What is Amanda getting?
I don't know, but like, did she eat anything?
Well, are they married still?
Or are they really divorced?
They really did divorce.
I think so, I think we would know that it wasn't real.
Actually, some of it's true.
But I think that they knew
that they were going to go down that path
before the show.
And they utilized that opportunity
to create a, wow.
You might have me because I just realized
Amanda didn't sign a prenup.
No.
So if Loverboy tanked.
They waited until it got to a point
where they could declare bankruptcy
so that she didn't have to take it,
you'd go down with it.
Yeah.
I think it's all.
Man, I don't know, I don't follow that.
She didn't sign a prenup,
so her name's attached to all the Loverboy stuff.
Right, so she would assume his debt
if they got divorced and that business wasn't,
wasn't in the black.
Like they would, she would have to be viable
for half of the debt.
Is that calculative?
Yes.
I still think it's real.
To be determined, but I don't feel like it's real.
We'll never really know whether it was true or not.
So I saw another thing this morning
about this marketing agency that works with Bravo
and they have product placement in every show.
Oh yeah.
There were over 50 products placed
in every single episode of the summer house,
including the watch that Kyle gave her.
So it's all a setup.
I think that there's plenty that's bull.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I mean, that's scripted to a degree.
Yeah, like throw these themed parties.
Kyle, try your best to make it up to her.
Here's a watch.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
If he's done that much debt,
why is he buying Cartier?
You know what I mean?
Yeah, they're.
It's all fake.
No, I mean, we could dive in.
I mean, I don't think all reality shows are fake,
but I think there's gonna be.
We could dive into the details of the stageness of the show.
Like there's some times when, you know,
they're having a party, right?
And everybody's partying.
The parties feel kind of weird
because they're all dressed up in outfits
and then, but they invite locals
that are just regular folks dressed in normal clothes.
Yeah, and it feels like they open the floodgate
and they all just come rushing.
It feels like that it's like,
but they're not there.
They do know some of these people that are showing up.
They're not just random people.
They're like, okay, here comes the extras.
Yeah, right.
But it does also feel like it comes the extras.
During every party,
there's like a sit down with two people
that they need to discuss the big drama
in the room or in the house.
I watch it knowing that I'm probably getting little.
See, I don't.
We know the Southern Charm folks.
We know that that show is somewhat real.
I know that there's probably similar things
with products or whatever,
but like we know enough about those people
to know that they actually do get really annoyed with Craig.
You know what I mean?
Like there's things.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So they don't have to manufacture any drama
because it comes naturally.
Yeah, but I had a very intuitive feeling
that the Kyle and Amanda thing started sooner than we thought.
They were already unraveling that
and knew that they were going to,
the divorce got finalized in January.
You can't get divorced that damn fast.
I don't, but the West and Amanda thing I think is real.
I think that they are dating,
but I think that they've been dating
since the beginning of the summer
and Kyle knew all along.
Oh yeah, I agree with that.
Yeah, I think that all of that was just,
oh, he didn't know, Sierra didn't know,
I think all that part's, okay.
That's understandable.
And how can you steal a best friend's ex?
She's not yours to begin with.
Like why is she so mad?
I'm going to go.
Girl code.
I know, but like, is there,
like they weren't even really ever dating.
They went on a couple of dates
but they didn't sleep together or anything like that.
Sierra and West?
Not back in the day.
100% they slept together.
No, they didn't.
She declared that they didn't in the show.
I doubt that happened.
I don't know.
I just, I can't wait to watch all my memes pop up
and like give me more information
because I am very excited about,
like someone doing the due diligence
to uncover all those little details.
So they have a feeling it's bullshit.
Last year, Amanda said, was like,
undressed West about his dating,
how he never had a girl from blah, blah, blah,
and now she's with them.
So like.
Didn't that make you think?
You're like, hmm, which part's true?
I just don't see nothing against West at all,
but I just don't see how they're, she's.
What's the appeal?
No, I just don't see them.
I don't see her having interest in him.
Yeah, like so until I saw the arm rubbing
and all those things,
I didn't, I never saw them even kind of look twice
at each other.
They just don't seem like two people
that would find compatible.
Also he likes to party.
He's basically, he's a younger Kyle.
Yeah.
He doesn't DJ yet.
He's just a younger Kyle.
He kind of has a, he has a,
he's on a whole nother plan, right?
He's on a whole nother route
and the girls that he's going to date or be with
are going to have, they're going to be over in this pool
and she's way over here in this pool.
Yeah.
She was a married woman, like, you know,
had this plan.
None of it makes any real sense to me.
You know, going down this path with this dude forever.
She wanted to move to out of the city
like we'll see yard and kids.
We don't know these people.
We just watch them on TV.
Yeah.
Well, I have a feeling that they've gotten us all
and the other thing I saw this week
that was really funny,
that kind of had me laughing was,
do you watch anything with Theo Vaughn?
Yeah.
So he interviewed Ella Langley,
who were all like, what?
Who's Ella Langley?
What? Who is it?
Who is it?
The little brunette that sings country music.
Excuse me, you look like you love me.
You look like you love me.
I'm sorry.
You're not an Ella fella?
You're not an Ella fella?
We listened to Ella Langley at least 14,000 times
when we were in Texas.
Is that the song she's from Texas?
She's from Texas, I can tell.
Yeah, I don't know who that is.
So he interviews Ella Langley and she brought her guitar
and he's like, hey, you know,
I want you to sing one of your songs.
If you'll sing a song and she's like,
okay, sure, you pick one out.
And so he picks Dandelion.
And before she ever got to play in it,
he's like, I sometimes feel like a dandelion
and she looks at him like, wait, what, you do?
That doesn't align with you.
You feel, I feel like you're more like a rose.
And he's like, no, I'm more like a vine.
You know, one of the vines that grows on your house
that you can't get rid of.
So they surmise he was like a kudzu.
She was all curious.
I can't get enough of like watching it where his brain goes.
But it got me thinking,
if I had to declare you a flower, what would it be?
And I feel like you're more like a fiddle fig tree.
Hell's a fiddle fig tree.
Well, here's, hear me out.
So like everyone likes a fiddle fig tree.
You know, the tree that I have in the sunroom,
the big giant one.
Sunroom, which room is that?
Oh my God, Dale.
Hi, I'm Amy.
Have you, have we met before?
I don't know.
I know we had a sunroom.
Okay. It used to be a porch.
It is now like the Butler's Pantry Sunroom.
Yeah, the Butler's Pantry.
So it's kind of like the plant room too.
That big giant tree.
That's a fiddle fig.
They are really nice to look at.
Everyone seems to like them.
They're very hard to take care of.
Oh, sh**.
Kind of fickle.
Like you can't move them.
They like to stay in their place.
If you overwater them, they're mad.
If you underwater them, the leaves fall off.
Perfect.
So you're like a fiddle fig.
Okay.
What am I?
Oh man.
I mean, you're just pink rose.
I don't know.
A pink rose?
Yeah, you're right.
The basic b**ch for?
Well.
A pink rose?
I don't know.
Travis, what are you?
Are you an azalea since you love the master so much?
I'm an azalea this week.
Maybe like a cactus.
Yeah, a cactus.
No, you're not giving cactus vibes.
You like pink drinks.
You're not a cactus.
Let's see.
You're an orchid.
I'm an orchid?
Yeah.
Did you look at my notes?
That's my favorite flower.
Does that mean I'm an orchid?
Do you know anything about orchids?
Oh yeah.
What do you know about orchids?
There, orchids, when you get one from the store,
you gotta be real careful with it
because it could get damaged and you could ruin it
real easy on the way home.
And they need to be in the sun by the window.
And they bloom and they're beautiful
and then they go sort of dormant,
but then they kind of come back when the season,
you know, when the season's right,
they kind of bloom again like most flowers, I suppose,
but when they're dormant, they're pretty normal.
It's just one little stick.
One little stick?
Yeah.
When they're dormant, you're supposed to leave them alone.
Yeah.
Don't touch it.
Don't touch it.
Don't think about touching it.
Yeah, that's exactly you.
Like when you're in a mood,
when you're in a mood like an orchid,
you gotta leave it alone.
Don't touch it.
That's right.
Don't even come over here.
I'm trying to sneak in a hug and some cuddling.
Nope.
Nope.
But Amy loves orchids and so I think that
that's not a basic B flower at all.
No, it's not.
A pink roses there.
Orchids are very, well, I'm just said that
out of first thing popped in my brain.
Women love roses, but...
We do.
There's nothing wrong with roses.
Orchids are very peculiar in particular.
They're beautiful.
They're unique and special and rare-ish and so...
They're kind of hard to mess.
They're hard to grow.
They're hard to take care of too.
They take some effort.
Yeah, it does.
It takes some effort.
Yeah.
Do you like poinsettias?
Yes, and I have a funny story about poinsettias.
So they're a tropical flower
and I didn't know that until recently.
I did not.
But my mom always had poinsettias
out on the porch at Christmas.
Like, she has Christmas stuff everywhere,
and so there were some inside,
but she always kept them out on the porch.
Well, I grew up in South Texas
and it was generally kind of warm around Christmas time.
If it got cold, that was not normal.
Yeah.
And so I was living with Dale
and this is back when Tammy was working with us
and I had gotten these really good looking poinsettias
and I put them out on the porch
and she's like, die and laughing at me.
And she's like, you know, those are gonna die out there.
I said, really?
I was like, my mom always had them on the porch.
She goes, in Texas, they're tropicals.
They're gonna die out there.
I was like, oh my God, really?
She's like, yeah.
They can't be below whatever temperature.
And she showed me on her phone.
So I feel like I was just a total dumb.
You didn't know at all
that these Christmas flowers are actually tropical flowers.
What do I think is kind of like a oxymoron anyway, right?
Yeah.
You're just looking at me like, what a rabie.
Yeah.
So after that, I got a bunch of fake poinsettias.
Do you remember those big fake poinsettias I had?
And I stuck them all in the fountain.
We had an old fountain that I turned into a planar bed
on the porch and I stuck a bunch of fake ones out there
just so that Tammy could enjoy that
because she could see them out of her window right there.
Yeah.
She always thought that was funny.
I'm not interested in flowers in general.
Flowers and landscaping and all that.
No, you're not.
Same.
No, like not a yard guy, huh?
No.
Dale's not either.
He could give a s***.
Yeah.
It's like, make it all dirt.
Just put stone down.
As long as it's not getting in the house, make it all dirt.
I love that.
I'm very into it.
Yeah.
At least there's one of us.
All right.
So we're going to play a little game called this or that.
It's interesting that this topic was already brought up,
so we'll make it an official question.
Would you always rather have a silent but deadly fart
or loud and odorless?
Always.
It has to be one always.
I'd say loud and odorless.
I mean, at least everybody can laugh.
Silent and deadly.
It's brutal.
It's brutal.
And you're going to feel terrible and guilty.
No one, you know, sometimes you might get found out,
but the smell, you know, you're going to get tired of that,
even your own farts.
And so.
God, well, all the time has got to be so embarrassing.
Yes, I know, but you would be that guy.
I mean, eventually you're just going to go have to embrace it.
He's like, at least it doesn't smell.
Well, yeah, you're going to have to embrace it.
I'm the farting guy.
I think either way, I'm mortified.
I'm trying to make this work.
You got to answer to Amy.
I can't imagine being in the kitchen, cooking and going,
just ripping, ripping it.
You know, oh, sorry.
Have I ever heard you fart?
No, I don't think so.
And I'm not about to start.
I heard you burp once or twice.
Yeah, I mean, burp is a loud.
Yeah, but I know, but you try not to.
And I've heard, I think, I remember the first time
I heard you burp, it wasn't many, many years ago.
It was like I farted.
He reacted like I had farted.
God, it was like, it was insane.
Which is why I don't fart in front of him or ever.
Yeah, girls don't fart now.
Have you ever, I would get like clown for years about it.
Have you ever farted in private and in audible?
I don't know what you're talking about.
Even when you're buying the fifth, even when you buy yourself,
are you trying to like make it not make noise?
Yes, you don't even want to be a lady.
You're like, I don't even want to hear.
I don't want to hear that either.
No. Yeah, you nailed it.
All right, we'll go a little easier answer here.
Sunrise or sunset?
Ooh, sunset.
And then night night.
I like sunset because it's usually like just that time of the day
where everybody's kind of relaxing and the sky is so bright and pretty.
I've seen plenty of sunrises, but usually sunsets are prettier.
Yeah. Yeah.
Dale doesn't know what a sunrise looks like.
He's never seen that.
I've seen plenty of sunrises.
When he's before he goes to bed early in all nighters.
Does that count?
Doing all nighters.
Yeah, if you can make it to sunrise, we've watched.
No, that we, in Key West, we watched the sunset.
Yeah, we watched lots of sunsets in Key West.
The sunsets are pretty fun, I guess, but kind of anti-climatic.
You know, we would be in Key West, you know,
raising hell, partying, going from bar to bar.
And then Amy and the other girls that are on the trip would go,
we got to go watch the sunset at Sunset Pier and I'm like, God dang it.
Yeah, he can't be okay with anybody else having an idea.
We have to sit in the same bar for two or three hours
until he wants to move to a different bar still.
And then we sit wherever he wants to sit for two or three hours.
If anybody else has an idea, it's like, God dang it.
Yeah. Why don't we mess it up?
It's a good time because we don't all enjoy the same thing.
And then we're going to have, if we're going to go over to Sunset Pier,
sit down, everybody's going to get tired, sleepy.
And then we've got to try to figure out how to fire everybody back up
for the next round, go to the next bar.
That's not true.
You go to Sunset Pier and get another drink.
We're all sitting out there drinking margaritas or whatever anyway.
Well, I'm afraid that you're going to see the sunset and want to go night night.
That's just your anxiety, cleaning your night.
No, you just said it.
Yeah, I mean, I do like to go to sleep now right after the sunset,
but we were in QS.
We all stayed up late.
I'm with Dale on this one.
I like to just sit there and you just like, look at you like,
you're still good here.
Like you're, man, when I was in my 20s, like when we were, you know,
when we were raising hell back in the bud days,
sometimes I would skip dinner.
You still do that.
Yeah, I'd be like, man, I ain't going to eat.
That's going to slow me down.
Yeah, they didn't eat anything up.
My buddies were like, we're hungry, dude.
And I'm like, wow, let's just power through.
You still do that.
Did that when we were dating?
Yeah.
When I moved in and we would have people out of the house for pool day or whatever.
And I'm not just talking about like a night party, like an all day event.
He didn't want to have any food.
And I'm like, I can't invite people over to the house and not have food.
And then expect them to drive home.
Took me a while to figure that out.
Cause she's like, and I'm not going to just half-ass it.
I'm getting hosted.
She's got, yeah.
She's going to have a whole layout, sides and all this stuff.
He's invited three people, but what he really means is three plus 10.
He's invited 13 people over.
So there's a bunch of mouths to eat.
We got some bags of chips.
They can eat them.
They can eat them.
That's funny.
No, we need to order catering.
What the hell?
Yes, we do.
Cause I ain't cooking for all these freaking people that you've invited over.
I'm getting catered tacos or whatever.
Just sandwiches, going to have some food.
And what will happen?
We all have fun and we're in a good mood.
We're up on plane.
We're partying good and everybody eats and then everybody goes to sleep.
See, I'm the snacker.
So I remember when we were in Key West, I'm like, y'all want anything?
They're like, no, I'm like, I'm going to order an app here or more.
Yeah.
I like to have snacks.
I'm just like, you get some cheese curds here, get some pimento cheese there.
And then you never get out of control.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I always have to be snacking on something.
I like that idea.
I like that too.
Like a little shared app.
Next question.
Make a boring, airing fun or getting dressed up for a real date?
What?
Make a boring, airing fun.
Like you run some errands and then you're like, all right, let's,
let's go grab a drink and then do this.
And then, or actually like have a planned date night where you get dressed up.
Planned date night or so.
I like a planned date night so I can really plan my outfit.
I do love an impromptu situation, but that's just not to fly anymore.
That's every day.
What do you mean?
Every day is our impromptu situation.
Like, what are we doing?
What are we doing?
What's, what's, what's, what's for dinner?
I know, but we're not like stopping for a cocktail in between.
Like making it fun.
But it's fun.
We used to do that.
It's fun when we got a night where we can go.
Dedicated.
Yeah.
Even if we had the kids, like take them to dinner and stuff.
Yeah.
Sometimes when the kids are gone, we like to plan to do nothing
and sit on the couch on our sweats and that's fun too.
Yeah.
So speaking of sweats, would you rather always be overdressed or underdressed?
Overdressed all the time.
I'm from Texas.
Like, I mean, I don't even really do the Texas thing,
but like we are taught to, you put your face on, your hair's done, your jewelry's on,
like you've got an outfit.
Like life is short and you are here to present yourself.
If it was up to me, my closet would only have
pants, t-shirts and hoodies, and that would be as high as I went.
And then the rest of the time I'd be in pajama pants.
He tried to tell me when we were in Texas, he was going to put his grace wet pants on.
I was like, no, you're not.
He's like, why not?
Everybody else is in their lounge clothes.
Like, no, no.
Every man here is in their jeans and you're not running around here in grace wet pants.
You can't be running around in grace wet pants.
Not in front of Granny.
No, thank you.
No, yeah.
You got it.
Come on.
If they're black, you can't have grace wet pants on out in public.
I mean, he forgets that like grace wet pants has a stigma and a season.
They do?
Yeah.
A hundred percent.
What's the stigma in gray sweat pants?
It's what guys wear when they're trying to attract girls.
Oh, I've never heard this.
I wish I had known that when I was a kid.
No, it's my problem in high school.
I didn't wear a grace wet pants.
That's definitely what your problem was in high school.
No, not in a grace wet pants.
Yeah.
This is silly.
No, it's not.
You put them on a stand in the mirror and you're like, oh, I see now.
Funny.
If I could always wear shorts, I'd be happy.
You wear shorts when it's cold outside, even now.
I wore shorts today.
Because it's going to get warm though in the afternoon.
65's not warm.
And you're in the office.
I was not meant to wear jeans, pants.
Yeah.
You're usually in shorts.
Yeah.
That's true.
You're dressed for golf.
Though golfers wear pants.
Oh, that's true.
Yeah.
What are you dressed for then?
What is it about the shorts?
It's for Travis.
It's just me.
Showing off your legs.
Shorts and hoodies.
That's my style.
Yeah.
So like one leg out of the sheets.
Yeah, exactly.
Um, next question, power nap or long nap?
Long nap.
I'm not good at power napping.
Dale can fall asleep in a crowded room and pop up after 15 minutes and be refreshed.
Yes.
I'm not good at napping like that.
I feel better after a 10 minute nap than I do after sleeping all evening.
Same.
We got up this morning and I'm like, damn, I feel like I hit by a truck.
Same.
Like I could lay back down and go another two hours.
And I've had six and a half to eight hours of sleep, but I'll do a 10 minute nap in the middle
of the day and be like, hell yeah, I'm gonna go till two in the morning now.
That's probably the problem.
If you didn't have those naps, you might go to bed at like 10 or 11.
I have been napping more.
I used to not want to nap and only napped when it was in dire situations.
Like when you're having a conversation, you don't like,
he used to fall asleep in the plane or anywhere.
If he had his sunglasses on or if he didn't have his sunglasses on, he put them on.
That was code for, I'm taking a nap.
You can keep talking, but I'm going to fall asleep.
You didn't have a conversation with him and not realize he was asleep behind his glasses.
I'm just saying a new trend for me has been, not all the time, but when possible,
coming home, you know, three in the afternoon, four in the afternoon,
and sitting on the couch and falling asleep and then waking up at five,
five, 30 and being like, I got too much of a nap.
Now I'm really awake and like at 10, 11, 12 tonight, when Amy wants to go to bed,
I'm going to be wide awake, but it's fun napping in the middle of the day.
I used to not want to do it, but now I'm more into it.
Love a nap at like 12 PM, 1 PM on the couch.
Yeah, especially kind of Saturday.
Windows open if it's kind of just a quick one.
Yeah. Would you rather never use the bathroom again or never have to sleep again?
Whoa.
I'd prefer not to never have to sleep again.
I prefer to never have to use the bathroom.
No, I think that's the easy one.
I like sleeping.
I like sleeping a lot.
I like the bed.
I like the sheets.
I like the closeness.
What if?
I guess you could still lay in the bed.
Yeah.
Because if you're at a concert, you use restroom like traveling.
Oh my gosh.
Okay.
Yeah.
That's a good point.
When you're in a place where you can't comfortably use the restroom.
So like you don't have to.
It's just not a thing.
Yeah, just not a thing.
It just goes away.
Yeah.
Turn it off.
You're at the bar drinking beers.
Turn it off. That faucet.
Yep.
You don't worry about breaking the seal.
Okay.
You're going to be over.
I didn't mind.
So like it's a man thing to go and sit in the toilet
and grab a paper or a racing magazine or something.
That's true.
And be there for like 20 minutes.
Chicks don't do that.
Or set up, you know, set up your iPad and watch from YouTube.
You've what?
I think you set up your iPad and watch YouTube in the bathroom.
Yeah.
Watch videos about card collecting.
Do you watch videos in the bathroom?
So like my dad would go read a book.
Me, I'm in and I'm out.
I can do the same thing on my couch.
Yeah.
I guess maybe you're like maybe when you're like a husband with kids,
it's like that's a way to get some like a loan time.
I saw that on my phone yesterday too,
that men spend up to seven years of their life in the bathroom
hiding from their family.
Did you do it when you're a single day?
No.
No, I didn't.
You hide from your family in the bathroom?
Damn.
No.
I just go in there and get a little by myself time and just kind of.
It's the same thing.
We don't have like a chair back on the toilet.
Weirdo.
I think it's an airplane pillow.
Oh my God.
I can hear them.
Oh my God.
I'm just kidding.
I'm just kidding.
You didn't do it right.
You didn't go far enough away.
I'm just kidding.
I like to go in there.
I feel we have a little basket and I fill it up with racing.
I'm going to take all that out of there.
There's racing magazines and a little table.
Yes.
There's too much stuff in the bathroom.
Oh yeah.
And so I put these in their old,
old programs from like the fifties and sixties and seventies.
And I will read them and this is my this is one of my favorite things to do.
I was sitting in there the other day reading an old Darlington program from the fifties
and they had an advertisement.
I look at all the advertisements.
They had this advertisement and it's like the comfort in come have a steak.
And it's this really cheesy single floor motel that existed in South Carolina
and Darlington County back in the fifties.
And I'll get on my phone and look Google Earth the address and see what's there.
It's still there.
It's still there.
And it'll be like abandoned or broken down or half busted up or remodeled and bigger
or whatever.
And you're like, holy s***.
You know what businesses are still around.
I got Daytona 500 programs and stuff and just seeing what businesses are still operating
like decades later.
I found this whole transmission shop that's still owned by this family,
still family ran that was opened in the fifties.
And you're like, damn, they made it through everything, right?
So that's kind of what I like to do when I'm on the toilet.
Genealogy.
You need to start like totally useless.
You got to fight fire with fire.
We go in there and now it's been 30 minutes in the bathroom.
I can't get five seconds in the bathroom without some little fingers tapping on the door.
If I don't lock it too, the door is going to fly right open and stay open.
So yeah, I don't get that privacy.
The kids are just like trying to put their little fingers under the door.
Amy is one of the, Amy is, Amy is a person that when she uses the restroom,
she turns the fan on and leaves it on.
And so, and like, you know, she leaves the restroom, fans running,
fans just runs and runs, runs.
And I don't know when it turns itself off or she turns it off.
I think it's got like a 30.
The one upstairs has a timer, the one downstairs is not.
Right.
And so I always know when she's used the bathroom because the fan's running.
And I'll, I'll start to go, I'll start to go open the door.
She goes, don't you go in there.
That's not true.
Yes, you do.
Go use another one.
You go use another one.
Don't you go in there.
That's not true.
Yes, it is true.
You know it's true.
Can't admit it.
God, you're embarrassing me.
You can't admit it.
Finally.
Rolls a reverse on the show.
Yeah.
We got one on Amy now.
Well, hey, Dale, that's what the fans for.
I know.
You know why I want to try using it the next time you go in there.
So when I go in there.
Why the candle or something.
When I go in there.
She's like.
She's watching so much TV and hit the fan button.
She's like, she put the seat down?
She turned the fan on?
I'm like, God.
Sometimes she leaves the door wide open and he's sitting there.
Yeah.
Like, can you have some manners?
Do all the things.
I do shut the door now because I want our little girls.
I don't want them to think you shoot with the door wide open.
But they don't need to see daddy doing that either.
Yeah.
That's true.
There's so many elements here.
When we didn't have kids, dude, I didn't shut the door.
I shut the door every time.
He means an animal.
I'm inside my home.
I'm door is shut.
The front door.
Have some decorum, some coof.
I'm in there with Amy.
It's just me and her.
We talked about this on the other show.
He came in and sat behind me and poofed while I was brushing my teeth
when I first met him.
Yeah, that's why.
He's got no coof.
We were in a loft.
There was nowhere else to go.
I still think like there should be.
You could have waited for me to finish brushing my teeth.
I think that's one boundary that should just stay separated
with you and your significant other.
The door should just be closed.
His number two.
Yes.
Yeah.
I personally think number one it should be closed for.
Degree.
Nine times out of ten, I agree with you.
But then this particular instance, we were in a tight spot.
I had to go and I wasn't.
She's in there.
I'm like, I don't know how long she's going to need in this bathroom.
There's no conversation about it either.
All right.
She's like, sit.
Well, yep.
I was like, hey, this is the one.
And if she can handle this, we're good to go.
And that's what he said.
That's what I thought.
This is what's going to be, lady.
Yep.
That's not.
I didn't say lady.
He didn't.
But that's what you.
That's what the connotation was like.
If you want to hang out with me, this is how it's going to be.
Yep.
Like, ugh, no, it isn't.
I think I went.
Ooh, ooh.
I have a deep brush in my mouth.
Hi, y'all.
Dale and I are in the Dirty Momedia Studios for another round of Ask Amy.
We're excited for your questions.
What you got, Travis?
First question people want to know is,
are you guys up to date on the rocket launch?
Where are you guys at with that?
Yes.
So I thought today was Friday when I woke up and I dressed in a coal
and a red, white and blue outfit for school.
And she watched Artemis videos on the NASA page all the way to school.
We're excited about it.
I've been following along.
What does that have to do with Friday?
You thought today was Friday?
They land tomorrow.
I thought it was today.
And I was kind of excited this morning because that part's like.
The tough part.
Just as exciting, if not more racking than the takeoff.
I will be tuned in for all of that.
Tomorrow at 8 p.m.
You get to watch it live.
They're going to land right off the coast of California.
Did you see where the commander named a crater after his wife?
Yes, after his wife.
If you could name something after Dale and name each other anything and like.
What would it be?
Would you want to?
I would dale race track, sorry.
The short circuit.
I would name an old racetrack after Dale.
What are you, Dale and Hart Jr. Speedway?
Ralph Speedway?
Ralph, I don't know.
Ralph's Roval.
The Ralph Raceway?
The Ralph Roval.
I don't know.
I hate the Roval.
I know you don't like the Roval.
We could figure it out, but I feel like a racetrack would be appropriate.
I don't think, I don't know.
Can't really like name a tree after you.
That would feel weird.
A crater doesn't really seem, I mean, it's cool, but like.
If you could find a star that's never been found before.
So you can dedicate stars to people, but I feel like.
I would name.
You have to be an astronaut to know the craters of the moon.
I would name a.
And have that right.
Star of, I would name an orchid.
After Amy.
There's multiple styles and different orchids.
A hybrid.
Hybrid orchid orchid.
Romantic.
Yeah.
I mean, his wife passed away and he has two daughters and he's in this rocket ship.
And he, like people say that you've hung the moon.
You know what I mean?
So I think there was some connotation to that and like naming the crater after his wife was.
And I'm guessing like they call you fantastic.
And I mean.
Crater peril.
Yeah, think about it.
This dude's seen the moon unlike any other person besides the other people in the capsule.
And they've seen this, they've seen the moon from a perspective that we'll never understand.
And I think it was special for all of them.
It was pretty cool.
Dude, they talked about it.
They were like, I can't even put the guy was literally saying humans aren't equipped with the
vocabulary to explain what we're seeing.
We can't articulate it.
Yeah.
We, we can't.
Can't quantify it.
That was really the most profound thing that I remember hearing.
I feel like I need a better answer than a racetrack, but I can't come up with one.
Hmm.
I don't know.
I think if you have like a popular drink.
A drink that like everyone knew about instead of like, imagine if the mimosa was like the Amy.
Well, we have the Delia.
That's true.
We do have a Delia drink.
Yeah.
Hopefully that is going to be bad ass.
Is it going nationwide with that?
They are.
Excuse me this week.
Yeah.
Next week.
Next week.
Wait nationwide.
They're going to go nationwide with the Delia next week.
Every Texas Roadhouse.
Yeah.
It's good.
It's like Creamsicle.
I think on the 15th, Texas Day, Delia Day.
You can name like a really handy practical tool after me, like a household tool.
Some kind of a socket wrench.
Something that was like every day, every day.
Maybe the DentGitter Outer that I used to hammer up the fixtures with.
That would be the Dale.
I don't know.
That's a tough question.
That's a tough question.
Speaking of which, I need to ask everybody who's watching.
We have a photo to hang.
A big framed tapestry is what it's called, I guess.
The Dangerous Summer Tapestry.
It's a big flag.
And I had it framed finally for Isla's Room.
It's gigantic.
Well, all right.
So for all of my life, everybody on the stream, I need some help.
We've been hanging photos.
You had the string across the back and you hung it on the string and you did this.
And then sometimes there might be some hooks on each side or you could do the Z clip.
Well, now they're showing up and they had these little sawtooth little things on the corners.
A little zigzag.
I don't know what I'm supposed to do with that.
I see that.
I got a mechanical mind.
Like I can figure it out.
But I look at that on the back of the picture and I go, what the f*** am I supposed to do with this?
That actually gives you more leeway.
So like he spins out when he sees this.
I'm like, you don't understand, like if you get it just a little bit off the little teeth
are so small that you cannot have it perfect and still get a straight photo.
And put two nails in the wall.
And it's going to just, I'm going to find a where it's going to find level somewhere.
Yeah.
Oh, I don't know.
So it's still sitting on the floor.
I picked this thing up like three weeks ago.
And I'm usually the one that's like, I've got a list of things to do, but
I'm slow to get to some of it.
And so it took me forever to get this thing.
I'm sure I'm putting myself out here.
I'm being vulnerable.
I'm sure the internet's going to let me know.
I'm sure our listeners are going to let us know, dude, it's simple.
Just do, just do bam, bam, bam, you're good.
And I'm going to go, all right, now it makes sense.
But I don't think it makes sense to me.
And I want to know who decided that this was like the now, the way we're doing it.
We did the, we had the string forever, which wasn't perfect because, you know,
you walk around the house and moving and it's kind of getting crooked and
nothing ever, you know, every time you put something, you hang a picture on a string,
you're always kind of having to straighten it up.
But the Z clips are awesome.
And there's other ways that we've hung stuff that just seems like easier than this little
sawtooth thing on the corner.
And I've got to hang this thing up.
He promised he would hang it.
And we're hanging it in a new wall that's been.
Wallpaper.
Wallpaper.
Pressures on.
Pressures on.
Yeah, we got one guy here.
Brad says it makes it more frustrating.
So he agrees with you.
So here's the thing too.
The frame came with a template.
So there's a giant piece of like butcher's paper.
I get it.
That shows you exactly.
So you don't have to like go ham on the wall and worry about extra holes.
I think that we'll be able to level that paper and do it and it will be.
I get it, but I just feel like this is like
this didn't make it easier.
So Jamie says take a piece of painter's tape and put it across the back marker
exactly where you want the nails to go and then put the painter's tape on the wall.
Yeah, we've hung things like that before.
Put your nails in and then take the tape off.
That's a great way to do it.
I just, we went from like one single mounting point in the wall to now having two.
And now you got to like, you know, find the center of the wall.
Now you got to measure the distance between the two nails,
wherever the saw two things are.
And you got to do, you know, find the center of that.
And then it's just like, it's harder than it has to be.
You got this.
I'm going to do it.
And I'm going to get it up there.
But it took us, I've had this tapestry thing from the Danger Summer forever.
And it's got these awesome balloons and things on it.
It's beautiful.
And we've had it forever.
And I begged Amy to get it framed because I'm,
I like a couple of their songs and this thing just fits her room.
So big that I took it to a couple of framers and they're like,
we can't do anything that large.
So I had to wait for this shop to open in Charlotte.
They just opened in the last year.
She framed it in hot pink.
It's neon like pink.
It's really cool.
Well, we'll, we'll share a picture later when we get this super cool.
So we'll see in six months.
It's huge.
Next question is, did Nicole try the crybaby tear?
Yes.
She did.
Yeah.
He's, they both tried them.
I tried them.
I didn't think they were that sour.
He got, he had sour gum balls and all kinds of stuff in the bag too.
And she couldn't handle the gum.
She actually came over and was like freaking out.
She had to spit it in the sink.
Yeah, they liked it.
They loved him.
Which was her favorite?
The tears.
The tears.
I don't like the gum.
Yeah.
I like the super, super sour stuff.
Nicole likes caramelos.
The little caramelos with the white stuff in the middle.
Okay.
That are in the wrapper.
I don't even know what that is.
She likes chocolate.
Kelly loves them there.
Kelly always has them in her office.
The little caramel with the white center.
Oh yeah.
Like a little cream center.
I know what she's talking about now.
That, it's a, it's like a,
things been around for a hundred years.
It's like a very, but it's amazing.
It's good.
I love them too.
Sounds like something that would get stuck in your teeth.
It does.
You have to be careful.
It'll take the crown with it.
Might take your crown right off.
Yeah, you got crowns.
You gotta be careful.
Next question.
If you could be an additional character in a TV show,
what show would it be like?
So it's you're playing your,
like you're in your day.
I always wanted to be in the office.
And you're asking like,
what show would I plug myself into?
I thought the office was so badass
and I wanted to be in the office.
Yeah.
What would, what would be your role in the office?
Are you the IT guy?
Yeah.
Perfect.
I'm IT.
That farts.
Mm-hmm.
On every branch.
On every branch.
Silent, deadly farts.
Yeah.
The guy that comes in with his shoes
and his shirt matching farts.
He fixes everything.
What's he going to wear today?
Is it going to be orange on orange or blue and blue?
He's mismatched today.
He's in a bad mood.
Oh man.
I've always wanted to be in friends.
I feel like that would be fun.
Did you see where the one person said
that she felt like she was like the outcast
or like the sixth friend recently?
I forget who it was.
Lisa Kudrow.
Was it Lisa?
I think it was.
I figured it was her, if you had to guess.
Really?
Yeah.
Her character was like.
Her character was very, you know,
in a way disconnected from the others.
The other ones all had history together.
Yeah.
And she never was romantic with any of them.
Claims nobody cared about her.
I don't know.
I feel like her character was like important.
It kept everyone, it kept the, it kept it like funny.
Held the glue.
She was glue.
Yeah.
Remember when she got the sore throat or something
and it could sing?
Yeah.
Smelly cat?
Yeah.
She had like a frog in her throat or something.
And then she coughed it up and she's like,
oh ew, ew.
It's gone.
Yeah.
And she hated her natural voice.
Oh, that sucks.
I've seen a lot lately about Matthew Perry.
Her character was really the only one you could trust.
She was the only one with a real sense.
She was consistent.
Yeah.
The other ones were like just, just sitting, you know.
Emotional basket cases.
Yeah.
They were just a lot.
Except for Joey.
He was pretty consistent too.
Like.
Joey was great.
Yeah, he was.
Do you ever watch the show Suits?
I did.
I've binged the Suits show.
She did do that.
I would like to be on that show.
Me?
No, I would.
Oh, you want to be on that show?
Yeah.
What would you, what would your role be?
Are you like just.
Just another like.
Just another lawyer.
Badass lawyer.
Living it up.
I would add cheers to my list.
Oh.
Yeah, cheers would be good.
I would love to just been said, you know,
just been an extra sitting at the bar.
Just watching all that happen.
Yeah.
That would have been fun.
That'd be a good one.
Wouldn't have been fun just waiting on Norm to walk in.
What?
Norm.
Wouldn't have been fun just to sit there waiting on Norm
to come in any moment.
Norm.
Could you get yelling, you know?
Damn.
What, what, what dumb stuff Woody Harrell was going to say?
That would have been fun.
Watching Woody Harrelson.
Yeah.
Woody Harrelson.
Sorry.
Got his name wrong.
I feel like you could actually make that happen.
I watched that show a lot.
Yeah.
I remember watching.
When Fox.
So I remember when Fox first started doing sitcoms,
they bought the rights to like a bunch of old shows.
So they had night, they had like a two hour block
where there was night court, the golden girls maybe, cheers.
There were like four shows and it was every night seven to nine
and I watched it when I was, I was still in high school.
And you wouldn't think, you know, that I would be sitting there
watching cheers, I suppose.
No, not, you should have more gray sweat pants.
Between playing.
And less cheers.
Between playing my original Nintendo.
Legends of Zelda.
What a balance.
Legends of Zelda.
Such a time to be alive.
Never played Legends of Zelda.
I played Legends of Zelda, but it was frustrating.
Is that the game that was gold?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I feel like I had that game.
But I just walked in these silly, same very repetitive rooms
trying to figure out what rock to move or how to figure out
how to unlock something or.
Sounds pretty boring.
It was pretty boring, but you know, it's just like anything else.
It went when I remember it in my head, like playing Mario Brothers,
original Mario Brothers, Legends of Zelda, Double Dribble,
all those games, Excitebike.
They were amazing.
We played them hours and hours and hours over and over and over and over.
And then me and you bought the original Nintendo and I bought like 150 used games.
And we plugged it in and started playing it.
We're like, this is terrible.
Yeah.
Like the graphics and can't make this out.
What is this?
You know, this is awful.
Yeah.
And we were playing on like a 13 inch television back in the 80s.
Yeah.
Well, that's why this picture is better.
The picture was better because it was so much smaller.
It wasn't programmed, you know, to be on the bigger 40 inch TV or something.
It's funny.
One more question here is, Amy, do you have a meal that you like to cook
that the rest of the family doesn't like, but it's like you're.
I feel like all of them fall into that category right now.
My kids don't want to eat anything I cook.
And I've, I used to cook a lot for Dale and I love cooking.
I used to just like get in the kitchen and whatever I had,
I would make something.
There wasn't like a recipe.
And what, you know, it usually turned out pretty well.
And these days I feel like I've lost my touch.
I tried to meal prep the other day and I didn't have any white rice.
And like one of those rice bowl things that you see people bake off in the oven.
And I had brown rice and it was still crunchy.
And I cooked that for twice as long as it said to,
because brown rice takes forever.
And it was terrible.
I couldn't even eat it.
And Dale's, Dale gets the chips out and was like scooping it and eating it with their
chia chips.
I'm like, is that what you have to do to like psych yourself up to eat it
pretend like the whole thing's supposed to be crunchy with a chip?
It was terrible.
Well, so I don't really, I don't feel like I've lost my touch, but I don't know.
Dale's their meal that you like?
Well, you've done some curry dishes.
I'm not a big curry fan.
No, he hates curry.
So if I do like a coconut milk curry situation, he's like not eating that.
Anything with?
Just a soup that I make that like that.
If it has, what's the herb that I don't like?
Cilantro.
Cilantro.
Just got cilantro on it.
Like it's dead, dead no for me.
Yeah, I feel like I've learned my lesson there.
I don't even buy cilantro just in case.
Remember when we were, we had, we had something going on there for a while
where there was like, we were eating, there was a dish or something we were eating.
And we had, it was like, there was sand.
Remember it had grit or something?
Yes, I figured that was a salt.
I bought the salt from freaking home goods.
Dude, we had granules of sand in it.
What?
Yes.
For a year.
I thought we thought it was the quinoa.
I was, I would rinse the quinoa.
He's like, I hate that.
And so ever since then he refuses to eat quinoa because he thinks it's the quinoa salt.
How did you find out it was the salt?
For a, you know, for a while, let's say 10 to 12 months, we're like, you know, every
once a week, you know, we'd be having dinner and I'm like, what the hell?
It's like sand.
It's just like, it'd be like one granular in your whole meal.
That would be it.
But ruin the whole thing.
But it would ruin it because you're like,
that is definitely not supposed to be in there.
Yeah.
And then you're like, I'm not going to eat the rest of this.
I don't want to eat.
I don't want to bite into a piece of sand.
Yeah.
It was like a pink Himalayan sea salt grinder and it had sand in it.
Damn right.
It did.
I figured that out.
Found that out.
Good.
I was, because it did go away.
It did disappear.
You know, Amy never told me.
She just was like, yeah, throwing that away.
I won't tell anybody.
Well, it wasn't planned.
I'm like, I figured it out, but I'm not going to let them know that they're
saying the coast is clear.
No more sand in your food.
I remember that.
That was a tough era.
It was.
It was frustrating for the cook too.
She's like putting all this effort in and ruin the whole thing.
I was like, I think I've got dirt or sand in my, she's like, what?
No, you don't.
Are you sure it was sand or was it just the salt wasn't getting like?
No, it was absolutely sick because the salt will melt down and it took,
it was sand.
I mean, for like three or four weeks, she was like super insulted that I would even.
Well, he's always the one to like get the hair.
If I like, don't have my hair tied up, he gets the hair in his food
or he gets the fish bone or, and they're like, now it's sand.
So for a hot minute there, I'm like, oh my God.
If you just don't like it, just say you don't like it.
You don't have to blame it on sand.
That's another thing, the fish bones.
Like we'll, I hate that.
It does suck.
When you get fresh fish though, that's not farm raised.
They, they have little tiny fish bones in them sometimes.
Let's not eat them.
Let's just not eat it.
Well, I don't get fish very often, but I don't know.
But like, I do not like to sit down, no matter how good it tastes,
and eat something going, hmm, hope I don't get a fish bone up there.
Got it.
Got a fish bone today.
I mean, we're, I'm sitting there eating it.
We, you fix something about you.
You will eat through a chicken wing and pull the bones out of your mouth
and you'll eat through the tendons and the skin.
The fish bones are these things you can't even see.
And you don't even know you got one.
It's kind of like the grain of salt or the sand.
You'll, you'll go, nope, there it is.
Found one.
And let's try not to choke.
So let me get that out of there.
And it's not, I don't enjoy it.
I'm with Dale on this one.
Like you go to a fancy restaurant and you order a fish and like,
they'd bring out the whole fish.
I'm like, y'all couldn't have like, if I, if I know it's coming out on the bone,
I'm, I've ordered it.
I chose it.
But at home, we get salmon filets and sometimes they'll have bones in them.
I'm like, damn, like, let's just cut the filet in such a way that it doesn't have that in it.
Right.
Let's just not, that shouldn't be like, I just would rather not eat it.
I'd rather cook a piece of steak or something.
Okay.
Well, no more fish for you.
I do want fish.
There is fish.
I know it exists.
It doesn't have bones in it.
You don't buy it knowing that.
You don't.
Yeah, you do.
No, like when you get it from the counter, you don't know that it's got a bunch of tiny,
the last time I cooked it, they had, they were so tiny.
I couldn't even pull them out with like my little tweezer things I have.
They were super small.
Which just makes it worse.
If it's big, you can see it.
When they were little, they were so little, like they weren't stabbing the roof of your mouth.
We're sitting there.
We're sitting there.
Before we even eat it, I'm like disclaimer.
No, I was halfway through the bowl.
That's not true.
And she goes, Hey, by the way, it might be a bone or two in there.
Just be careful.
That's not true.
And I'm like, I handed you the bowl and told you that.
This is a turn of events.
And so I finished the food and I get over to the table or I get over to the kitchen and
put my bowl away and whatever, put my bowl in the sink and there's still some filets there.
And I'm like, I don't have one more bite.
And I take a little bite and sure enough, like three or four little tiny little bones.
So you did it to yourself.
And I'm like, Hey, why are we giving people?
Why are we sending people?
Why are we sending this home to, you know, people carrying home fish with bones in it?
What we're doing?
I don't know.
Does everybody complain about this?
I would.
Show of hands.
Everyone in the room.
Everyone's gonna side with Amy.
If you knew a piece of filet was possibly going to have bones in it, would you buy it and take it home?
Jay's the only one.
Jay? Okay.
He's a wild man.
It's like having a steak with gristle on it.
Like you just got to eat around it.
Yeah.
Do you think gristle is like bones?
Worse.
Worst of bones.
Yeah.
I bite into a piece of freaking meat fat.
I am out.
I'm done eating.
Yeah.
Same way with chicken.
Yeah.
If I get a weird piece of chicken.
Amy doesn't eat anything on the bone.
I get bite into the knuckle or something.
She won't eat ribs.
What?
You don't eat ribs?
She doesn't like her teeth.
My teeth are not hitting that bone.
Hit the bone.
The same thing with chicken wings.
Like I'm not eating through skin.
What if it's going to fall off the bone?
I mean, I can take a piece of chicken and like pull it and like
full chicken and fine.
I can touch it, but I'm not fighting it.
She's not going to eat a drumstick.
She's not going to eat a rib.
That could be a vein in there.
A vein?
But you'll eat fish with bones?
Yeah.
I mean, I don't purposely eat the bones.
Hey, I like what you did there.
They're not the same texture.
I hear you.
This is interesting.
Just the thing.
I don't know.
It's weird.
I'm a quirky gal.
I don't know what to say.
Yeah.
I don't know.
The gristle and all that stuff is like,
you can't chew through it.
You got to just mentally go, okay,
I got to swallow that.
If it's going to have to go down the hatch.
Yep.
I don't know.
I think that's a good place to end asking me that.
Well, thank you for your questions.
We had a good show.
Please.
Did we even take anybody's questions?
Yeah.
I feel like there's a lot of conversation there.
Sorry.
That was just a lot of talking.
A lot of jibber-jabber.
A lot of fun.
