The following is a production of Dirty Mo Media.

Oh yeah, this is where it's going to be, girl.

We're going to hang out.

Open a bunch of jars.

You got big, strong hands.

Are you suffering from high-crackers?

I'm working.

Working that mouth.

Hey, everybody.

Dale and I are in the Dirty Mo Media Studio for another round of Blesher Heart.

We've got a great show for you today with lots of interesting topics.

And let's get started.

All right.

Obviously, the industry and everybody in our little NASCAR bubble has heavy hearts over

the loss of Kyle Busch.

And Amy, we went and did the race this weekend.

And there was a ton of focus on that and a lot said around Kyle and everything.

And this is your kind of first public opportunity to speak about it.

It is.

We have been thinking about Samantha and the kids heavily, praying for them every day.

But I just wanted to send our condolences and let everyone know that we too are really

sad.

And it's been a lot.

We've been talking about it every day and can't believe that it actually happened.

So trying to wrap our heads around that he's gone.

And I couldn't believe that she was at the racetrack.

I was taken aback by how strong she was to do that.

Yeah.

We talked about it on our Tuesday show.

We were in the booth.

It was five minutes before we were getting ready to start ceremonies and kind of hit the

hit the go button.

And I had no one knew I didn't know she was there.

But somebody Steve said they're here.

Yeah.

He Steve Grave by the shoulders.

Hey, Samantha, the kids are here.

And I mean, I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

I know.

I was like, really?

They're here?

I couldn't believe it.

I was sitting on the couch.

We had just gotten back from Texas.

And I went to go visit my family and celebrated my grandfather's 90th birthday, which was

so fun and amazing.

But then I get home and then engulfed again with just being sad and mourning a friend.

But I'm sitting on the couch watching the pre-show.

We're going to watch you.

The girls are watching you.

And I was thinking to myself, I wonder what she's doing to keep herself busy and what's

her day look like right now.

And all of a sudden she's on the screen.

And I was unwell.

Trying not to cry now.

But yeah, we're just really sad for them.

Yeah.

Well, that was...

We have a lot of fun memories too.

And I wanted to share one of my favorite ones about Kyle.

Please.

Okay.

So...

I'll be honest with you.

That's like my favorite thing about these last several days is hearing...

All of the fun stories?

Yeah.

Because I have no...

Listen, I don't want to rob your moment.

But I knew Kyle for the longest time as an extremely tough competitor.

And we had a tough...

I said in my quote, my tweet that I don't know if I chose the perfect word for it, but

our existence was tough for a while.

It was like two magnets that didn't go together.

Like they wanted to fit, but they just couldn't figure that out.

I like to be friends with everybody and it bothers me when I'm not.

And but we just...

We weren't able to...

I didn't know how to...

I don't know that he knew.

I don't know.

But we just...

We had the wrong idea of each other.

Yeah, for sure.

But it's been great last couple of days hearing all of these stories about him, the person.

He did have a very different side to him.

And the very first time we got to see that, to be honest, was...

It was Daytona 500 week and I don't know what year this was.

He was running the Eminem's car.

And we're in the bus just hanging out in Biden time.

Dale Jr. doesn't like to chit chat, have friends over.

We're not playing around.

We're not like having a lulli-yag kind of weekend.

When he's there to race, his game face, so to speak, is on.

And that's what we're doing.

And so we don't have a lot of knocks on the door.

Basically I'm in a sh** dude.

He's in a sh** ass mood.

Since the moment I get to the track.

He is grumpy because he feels like that's the only way to get through the weekend is

to just be focused.

Well, it's just like...

I'm not...

And he's stressed about his performance.

I don't want people to get the wrong idea.

I'm not wanting to be there.

It's just I want to practice well.

I want to race well.

He wants it all to go well.

Yes.

I want it all to go well.

And it's like, let's just get out there and get to doing it.

Yeah.

So sitting around in the bus was a lot of silence or watching TV or eating or whatever.

We're doing not a lot of like playing around.

We get a knock on the door and there's a little window above the door.

And so usually he's sitting on the couch and I'm messing around.

And so I look out and I'm like, it's Kyle Busch.

Uh-oh.

Drivers don't come over just to hang out.

Usually when a driver comes to knock on the door, they have words.

There's something that needs to be discussed.

Same thing with the crew chief.

They don't just come over to hang out.

And so I'm like, Dale, it's Kyle Busch.

And he goes, no, I was like, yeah, it's Kyle.

And I'm like, I'm not answering it.

You gotta get over here.

So he comes up off the couch and peeks out the door and he just kind of like props it

open a little bit and it's like, Hey, man, what's up?

And I could hear him audibly say very loudly, Happy Valentine's Day.

And he's got bags of M&Ms to share.

And both of us were kind of like, really?

You brought candy?

He's like, yeah, man, Happy Valentine's Day.

There's pink, there's red.

There's all kinds of flavors here.

He gave him like four or five bags of candy.

And then went on his business.

Like he was giving candy to everybody.

And Dale and I just looked at each other like, holy smokes.

I can't believe he was smiling.

He was happy.

It was like a version of Kyle I hadn't ever seen before either.

He came up in there.

He did?

Yes.

He'd come up in the bus about, you know, into the kitchen area.

Oh, okay.

So he just came right up the stairs.

Yeah, the door is right in the middle of the bus.

I don't remember coming in.

He did his hand to M&Ms and leave.

In my mind, it was a very short lived.

I joked with him.

I said, I joked with him when he handed him to me.

I said, are these safe to eat?

Yeah.

Well, so, yeah.

I thought he poisoned them.

And Kyle said, no, they're safe, but we put them in the freezer anyway.

We didn't eat them.

And Dale's like, I ain't touching them until we get home at least.

Because there is no way he's going to give me laxatives or whatever might be in that

before this race starts.

It was really nice to see Kyle in that moment.

And from then on, I feel like both of us kind of looked at him in a different way.

And so, and he put himself out there.

I mean, that was a risky move coming by not to know what mood you were going to be in

either just to share some candy.

So I thought it was wonderful.

Yeah.

It was like the beginning of a new road.

It was the very beginning of us sort of starting to, you know, be friendly.

Be friendly.

Yeah.

Yep.

Yes.

I feel like I'll always think of him too now when I look at a bag of M&Ms, especially

the old ones.

Oh, hell yeah.

Yeah.

Yes.

And the races of the next several weekends and not seeing his car out there and there'll

be a lot of tributes and moments.

And everybody's trying to figure out how to do those tastefully.

Yeah.

Even here at Junior Mergers Sports, we're kicking around ideas and so forth.

But yeah, I mean, it's, you know, it's something I've experienced through the industry.

When there's loss and there's processing and...

It's hard to know what to say.

It's hard to know how to support.

Everyone's different.

Yeah.

And everyone's experienced with it is different.

There ain't the right words.

You know, there's not like this, no, there ain't, that's the, there is not the perfect

thing to say.

You just say what you feel and that's how, that's the best you can do.

And there is, you know, when you talk to somebody who's grieving or somebody who's dealing with

loss, you have to tell them like, there's no magic button to push or there's not, you

know, you just have to work through it every single day and...

Yeah.

And everybody grieves in their own way.

Everybody handles it differently.

That's true.

So...

Samantha's 40th birthday is actually Monday, this coming Monday.

So she's got a lot on her plate and hopefully she can find a little joy based on that day.

Well, I'm going to tell you, man.

That was amazing.

That moment, I'll never forget it.

I don't think I've, I mean, I will never forget how all the industry, all the drivers, everyone

that was standing around behind them and the emotion on everyone's face.

So...

Well, we'll, we're going to move on with the show.

And every week, we have, you know, we have our Drink of the Week and I think this week

it's just a Red Bull.

We could have it simple this week.

We just did a Red Bull and a High Rock.

We've got a great partnership with Red Bull and they've been a lot of fun to work with.

So that's simple and easy because there's plenty of Red Bull around here.

But so many good flavors to choose from.

So many good flavors.

There are.

And I've found...

You've got Sudachi lime.

I found a new favorite.

The Delachi.

So this stuff, Sudachi lime, it just, it's really, you know, citrusy.

Yeah.

You know, it's, it's great.

I don't really know.

I'm not a great explainer in that stuff.

But a buddy of mine sent me a picture of it and he's like, dude, I'm trying this because

you said it was so good and he's like, it's legit.

But yeah, I like it.

I'll be enjoying these over.

I gotta get me a case of this Sudachi stuff because I don't, it's hard to find.

You know, High Rock vodka is a, is a brand that me and Amy have some ownership in and

we have new 1.75 bottles out.

You can find it at Total Wines and there's a locator on the website as well at HighRockVodka.com

to help you understand the closest bottle to you so you can see if you, you know, there's

one within driving distance.

They will ship to some states.

So you can also do that as well.

They will ship to some states and also you can find it in Texas Roadhouse.

We have a drink in there called Adele.

Yeah.

And it's a, it's a drink.

It's kind of like a cream sickle flavored orange-ish vanilla mix and it's amazing.

Where it's, that's at every Texas Roadhouse across the country.

So people are, I'm seeing a lot of that in my timeline as well.

So I'm thankful everybody's out there enjoying that stuff.

And yeah, we got a lot of great things going on, man.

We, I don't, we have sometimes, sometimes you man, you'll, you'll, you'll get in these

deals or do some, do some stuff with folks.

And, and you, you might not be entirely in love with the flavor or the, the, or the

just one little thing that's off the design.

But I'm just saying, I'll, it's not always perfect.

It's not always perfect.

I've done this, I've done a pitch, I've pitched him been a salesman for 25, 30 years.

I don't know, longer than that maybe.

But it seems like right now, the things that we're behind and involved in are, I

believe some of the best.

They're pretty great.

Like our jerky boys jerky is the best jerky on the planet.

I mean it.

And this, our high rock vodka is the best vodka.

I'm not saying it just to be saying it.

I really truly believe it.

And our deli, yeah, drinks, a great drink.

Everybody tries it, loves it.

Um, yeah.

I mean, we're just, we're just hitting on all cylinders, but

I'm glad Papi's happy.

Please remember to drink responsibly.

You must be 21 years or, or, or over.

Uh, and yeah, keep sending all that stuff to my timeline.

I love seeing it.

Great.

I was just going to say that I love seeing all the pictures of everyone's cocktails

or the deli I drinks when you guys go to the Texas roadhouse.

One of the things that I did recently too, for, for, uh, jerky boys is the guys

mailed me 1500 bags and I'm signing them and shipping them back to the, to our,

uh, our manufacturer and, uh, those are getting dropped every now and then in a

few shipments.

So people are starting to see those show up and they're starting to take

pictures of them.

Hey, I got a signed bag in my sales and Willy Wonka.

It feels like Willy Wonka and the golden ticket.

It really does.

Cause he's signing them with a gold marker too.

Well, it shows up on the black.

I did do gold bags.

Like I would love to have a gold bag that there was like maybe a hundred, a hundred

of them.

You know where that came from too, by the way.

The metallic baseball cards.

Yeah.

His idea for the gold bag came from, what do you call them?

Well, the, like the chase cards, they've got a specific name, right?

The card.

Yeah.

The, the, well, reflective, but the, yeah, it's the variants or, you know, the one

of ones, the one of fives, tens.

It made me think about, man, it'd be the joy and excitement of opening up a pack

and pulling out the card, you know, pulling out a great card, speaking of which,

I'll pat myself on the back a little bit here.

If you don't mind me.

So a friend of mine has a son, his name is Lawson and he's in the cards and I've

been giving him a bunch of my base cards.

Um, he's 10.

Is this the neighbor that got the con card signed?

Yes.

So, um, I've been giving him, sorry, I'm struggling with my train of thought.

But, um, I've, I've been giving him some of my collection.

Uh, and just for fun, you know, Hey man, I've got some base cards here.

If you want them, I'm going to put them in your mailbox.

You don't do whatever you want with them.

Right.

And, uh, of course he wants more than just old junkie base cards, but, uh, so I

told him and his dad, I said, if y'all go to cardiac's in canapolis or

somewhere, let me know, I'll go with you next day.

Hey, we're going to the store, man.

We're going to go get some cards.

I said, well, I can't go today, but come by the house.

I give lost some money and he can buy me a bunch of boxes.

And so he come by, now he's got a personal shopper card guy.

He come by and I gave him some cash and he went, I said, just buy, just buy me

some boxes and whatever you think I want.

And he comes back and he had couple, he had two football, two base, two football,

two baseball, three basketball.

And I said, here, man, you, you keep one of the basketball boxes for doing that for

me.

He went home and pulled a $350 block by block Cooper flag.

That's awesome.

Yeah.

And, uh, I pulled like a bunch of $10 cards out of my stuff.

I didn't pull nothing good out of there, but, um,

that's the way it should have played out.

Exactly.

To be honest.

Yeah.

It's cute.

I like that you guys are doing that together.

That's the only thing I can support with this.

Besides the fact that your collection is robust and it is cool to see that you've

gotten some great cards.

It's nice to see that you're sharing them with Lawson.

They'll be over at Lawson's hanging out, hiding his cards over there from you.

The boys has just started coming over and just run it straight upstairs.

They come in and they just run straight up the stairs of the library

because that's where he all sits and does his car.

Lawson plays travel balls.

He's a baseball player and now he's upstairs.

His daddy says he's upstairs in his room till three in the morning,

or organizing his, his growing collection, which is so cool.

Not the three a.m. part.

I'm sure that they're a little concerned about that.

He's a kid.

Yeah.

He's, it's summertime.

Yeah.

But, uh, yeah, that's, um, that's a fun thing that happened over the past couple

of days that made my, made my heart full.

Bring the energy.

Wake up.

I can tell this is all these stories.

You draw your world championship.

I know that in your head, you've always said, I'm going to be a podcast.

You know, I hope that at the end of the day that it'll bring somebody that hasn't

really been around this life that we live and it brings them to a whole new world.

And somebody will say, Dang, maybe Cowboys ain't so bad after all.

I think if you bring some smiles, I love the Hirajirom stories and just how he

carries himself.

So I'm all about if people can get a grin out of it, if they can smile a little bit.

What's it going to be like Jerome to have Tiffany as a co-host to a podcast?

See this gift of gab I have, maybe it'll come in a little handy on this deal.

If I keep Tiffany quiet every now and then, so she'll let me talk will be in good shape.

The only bad thing is I'm going to have to hear your stories that I've heard a

100000000 times.

I'm going to have to hear them another time.

They just get better every time.

Yeah, they do get a little more added into them every time.

I don't know why she puts up with me and why she helps living this life that we

go through, but she does and she's she's awesome.

As far as 14, 1998, from when they opened the gate to when you get hit,

what do you remember from that?

The bull I had that night was knock him out, John, and I'd been on him before

and he had hit me in the face in Vegas one time.

So I knew that I had to really stay over the front end and try not to lay him

hit me in the face.

As it worked that night, he got me rocked back and hit me in the face and knocked

me out. When he did, I dove in the ground, broke my neck, went from being at the

top of my game to the worst part of my life.

You know, all happened within a gate opening at a bull riding.

I was as mad at God because I was like, why did you do this to drone?

He's a good guy.

You needed him on your team out here.

We were supposed to be getting married in May.

Right after I got hurt, I was at the hospital and I told Tiff, I said, I

don't think this is going to work.

You need to, we need to regroup.

This is not the trail you need to be going down.

And if she would have left that day, I wouldn't have blamed her.

You know what I mean?

And I never would have said a bad word about her.

I never gave thought about leaving.

That wasn't an option because I still had drone.

I couldn't talk her into it.

So I was kind of glad she hung around.

I'll be honest.

I lived through it and it just made me tougher.

And I was able to make a pretty good living at the sport.

It's been good to me.

When I look around, see, I'm not going to be a bad person.

I'm going to come and see everything that's here today.

It all comes from the love of the sport.

I mean, everything I want to do had to do with being a cowboy.

What is going on with the birds over there?

You just missed this whole shot.

I'm going to redo it, but I could the birds miss the whole shot up.

Not me.

I thought we'd get rid of the tax.

You like that dog bit.

I thought the birds was coming after us.

There was so many of them.

Just stay focused.

It's going to really bring a new light to what this cowboy life's really about.

I'm honored to make history and to make my community proud.

Oh, what a brilliant tackle from Naomi Kana.

Well, guess what?

What?

You also got sunburn.

I saw you scratching your arm again.

Yeah.

Dale goes outside for the first time all summer and he's outside for an hour and he's

already roasted and he's with the girls.

They've got sunscreen on their faces.

He puts none on himself.

And he comes to me yesterday and he's like, Amy, golly, the sunburn.

I'm like, did you put anything on it?

And he's like, no, I need your help.

I don't know what to put on it.

I was like, there's a flethora of lotions and oils and all kinds of things in the

bathroom. Pick one.

And so we go in there and I fix him up and he was like instantly says he's relieved.

But he didn't do it again this morning.

I saw him scratching his arm.

That's the thing he does.

He's sunburned and most people like it's tender and it hurts.

He scratches the hell out of it.

Hey, what is that about?

Let me explain.

So.

So Monday.

Um.

I hadn't been hadn't.

Hadn't spent much time with the girls.

So I was, uh, we got up in the morning and they wanted to go, uh, or yeah,

they wanted to go swimming.

So all right, let's get down in the pool, pool pool, pool,

fell to amazing.

We were down there and swimming pool, swimming around, but it was kind of

overcast and it's supposed to be overcast, but the sun started coming out and I'm

thinking, well, I said, I got to get some.

I told the girls, I said, I got to get some sunscreen on your faces for your

momma gets down here and, uh, that'll be the first question.

As soon as they be as the girls got sunscreen on.

Yeah.

So I'm like, all right, girls, the sun stays out in another few minutes.

We're going to have to get the sunscreen on.

So we get out, we get sunscreen on there.

We're great about it.

And, uh, I didn't think I was getting too, too much sun, but yeah, I got pretty red.

And two days later yesterday, it's still the same color.

It's the same amount of red.

It's not gone down exactly.

And it's all over his shoulders.

I know it.

I'm white, white, like I was loose that dude when I wear shorts, everybody makes fun.

And so he's translucent.

Everybody makes fun of me.

So, uh, but.

So I got in the shower and as soon as I come out of the shower, it's itching like crazy

because it's just burnt and it's drying.

It's just dry.

So I was like, man, I need, I had some lotion in my side of the cabinet, but it's

got alcohol in it.

And I wasn't sure about putting that on there.

Why does it have alcohol in it?

It just, I don't know it.

It stings?

I don't know.

He was like, I don't know what's in it.

I just did and I've, it's.

It wasn't the stuff you needed.

It didn't, what I wanted to you.

You need some aloe is what you need.

Yeah, he does need some aloe.

We don't have any of that in the house.

Um, I don't, the kids don't get really, you don't get burnt.

And honestly, I haven't been long sleeved swimsuits most of the time, especially

if they're going to be in like the blazing sun, cause chasing them down a

reapply sunscreen is not really going to happen.

Um, but I used to get sunburned so bad as a kid, like we would go to the beach.

My mom would try to chase us down to to put sunscreen on us and we would just run

into the water.

Like to the point where we would blister up.

Yes.

It was gnarly.

Were your parents bad at applying the sunscreen?

Cause my mom, she's going to listen to this and hate it, but she was awful.

And like sometimes she used the stick on your face and they just be marks where

she just missed.

Yeah.

Like it was atrocious.

It's a thing.

Here's the thing.

It's you're trying to put sunscreen on a moving target.

The kids don't sit still long enough for it, especially when you go to their face.

I've used this screen.

Like there's no perfect way either.

Like you have sticks, you've got sprays, you've got all the things and none of them

are great.

Like the lotions are the best, but then the kids have to sit and let it dry.

So like, you know, it's really not mom's fault.

Like if she's trying, it's probably your fault.

It was streaky, to be honest.

I've seen that happen to my own kids, but trying to reapply it not happen.

I remember my worst son burn.

I was still in military school and it was actually Charlotte race weekend.

So it's probably this, this time of year or no, it had to have been.

It might have been, I don't know, it might have been October, but it's one of the two.

We are in the infield for the race because the Earnhardts and the Uries and everybody

would camp in the infield and we had, you know, we were playing in the infield all

weekend and watching dad run the, the Bush race and then watching him run the cup

race and I got burnt on my shoulders.

So I remember the next day being at military school and I was at my dorm

standing outside and it was hot out.

You know, someone was still out and I remember like feeling the heat of my skin

underneath my shirt and all of a sudden I felt some water running down my back

and I pulled my shirt.

I look under my shirt and it's little blisters that had that are seeping out.

Water blisters.

Yeah, that's exactly what happened to me.

You get sweaty underneath your skin.

What in the world is going on?

Yeah. I'd never seen that before.

I used to pick at it when it did that, like I would pop up and pull up.

Yeah, but it's gross.

It's totally disgusting.

But yeah. Yeah.

I that was the worst I ever got.

And I mean, of course, I'm white as heck, so I burn.

I don't I don't tan.

So I got to be careful.

Everybody laughs.

We go out to the beach and I'm under I'm in shade 24, 7 in the shade with a

gigantic hat with the sleeves on.

Yeah, I mean, I don't I what's the point?

At least you know, like you're not trying.

I mean, why am I trying?

He has gotten a little tan.

If he's if he just puts on all the sunscreen and just like dips in and out of the sun.

He's got a little tan over the years, but especially when we're in Key West,

we would spend a lot more time outside.

I'm just like just bake.

Give it to me. Just bake.

Do you burn? I get tan.

You get tan. Yeah.

Amy and I watched the show on Netflix last night.

It was pretty good.

We thought we'd try to see if you'd be interested in watching it.

I think he's already watched it.

Crash. Yes.

Already watched it.

Yeah.

That.

Are you still sick?

Are you getting over?

I'm getting better.

Yeah.

Is he dead yet?

Because you've been coughing on him for two damn days.

His immune system was poor Travis.

He needs some garlic.

His immune system must be at us.

Because he's got to be loud.

Makes a call today.

He's coughing all over the coughing's actually gone down.

So the crash, it's a show on Netflix.

I think you're the one that actually mentioned it to me.

We went and watched it last night.

What do you think?

Insane.

The girls insane.

That's for sure.

Mine is just mind blown.

It is mind blowing.

So it's about this show.

It's a show about this.

These kids were killed in a car accident.

And there's the debate, I suppose, is over whether

the driver of the car intentionally crashed a car or not.

And this is all went to trial and the driver of the car is in jail for murder.

And it kind of just tells this story and it leaves you up to make up

your own decision of what you believe happened.

Because the driver of the car remembers nothing.

She's claiming to remember nothing.

Right.

She claims to remember absolutely nothing.

There's no admission.

Yeah, there's only data from the car and some video of the of the car

driving before the accident and so forth.

That that looks pretty incriminating.

And so it's wild.

Listen, I'm going to tell you wholeheartedly, I feel like she did the purpose.

And I be claiming to.

I what's the next one I need to watch because that was.

My thing, though, is have you heard, though?

Like, I don't want to get into the what do we think?

I don't really really don't want to have a conversation about whether we believe

she did or not.

I'm just let's have a bigger conversation around watching those type of shows.

I love the true doc.

You're like, so like, what is the next one I need to have?

You seen the is it Amy Bradley missing on Netflix?

I don't think so.

Amy Bradley is missing.

It's a three part series on Netflix.

It's not that she went overboard.

Huh?

She went overboard on the cruise and everything.

She was missing on a cruise.

Oh, yeah.

Wait, she went missing.

1998.

Huh?

Yeah.

Well, we'll watch it.

That'll be the one to watch next.

I love true crime documentaries.

They say they say that's a psychotic thing.

Say, though, that people that watch them, it's like not good for your.

It's not good for your psyche or that you're already crazy or that you're already a psycho.

Yeah.

That I used to wake up and Dale was always watching something like that.

Honey, it was what's that?

On the old show?

No.

Oh, gosh, I know what you're talking about.

It wasn't that you're just always like even on your YouTube, you're always looking at like

car crashes, plane crashes, trains going off the tracks, like crazy stuff.

I'm like, what are we doing here?

Why are we so excited to learn about how bad things can get?

In vehicles or something you're going to have to get into also like.

Yeah, I think so.

That's a couple of things.

Um, you're like mesmerized by not mesmerized.

I'm curious of why things happen and how they what they learned from the accident.

So this isn't really something I wanted the public to know about me, but here we are.

How many times have you said that on this show?

Well, I mean, this was pretty personal.

But when we had the plane accident, I wanted to know why it happened.

I wanted to know the re the only way I could get back in the plane was to

understand what we did wrong and how how I could not do that again.

Right.

And so and it made and then I got back in a plane and I'm flying and I'm still

thinking, well, I know not to do X, Y and Z, but what other things do I need to know

not to do?

And so it made me curious.

I would, you know, I would learn about other accidents to sort of say, oh, wow.

Okay, they learned that they don't need to do this.

I need to put that in my notes of things that I need to be aware of.

And I need to ask questions about when when I'm concerned.

And so the same thing happened with dad's crash when dad was killed and we learned

what we learned about his accident and why he died.

It made me want to learn about other racing accidents and what we've learned from

those and what, you know, what, what, because I think a lot of things that we

do for the safety of our race cars is science and it's good information and good

data, but I also believe there's some things that we do for in the name of

safety that is it's not it's not exactly.

It's it's in it's with good intentions, but it's it truly safer.

And so, you know, I so it made me want to really kind of dive into you got to,

you know, to learn about what we've learned from accidents.

You've got to learn about accidents.

Yeah.

And so.

And as Dale does, he goes, he dives in deep.

Yeah.

And so, you know, I just feel it gives me some knowledge to be able to make a

better decision going forward because I have to I want to be own a plane.

I want to fly a plane.

I want to take my family places, but I felt like, you know, I needed to have, I

need if I was going to be able to do that confidently and without guilt.

Yeah.

I needed to never put us in a situation that would be dangerous.

And so I need to know everything I need to know.

So.

Gives you closure, probably a little bit of that too.

Yeah.

A little bit of that.

But it kind of parlies into other things like we're talking about sailboats and all

kinds of stuff like there's disaster in anything and any vessel basically.

I have always, always been.

Fascinated with people.

Fascinated with abandoned things.

That's funny because it came across on Instagram.

You liked some post about some guy on a sailboat.

Dude, he just got this.

Yeah.

So that.

Yeah.

So there's.

I'm fascinated by things that are abandoned.

I'm fascinated by sunken vessels, plane planes that are in the ocean.

I don't know what that is, but like, dude, we went and snorkeled a plane and I'm telling

you, we're sitting there snorkeling over this old, old like 70s model plane that went down.

It was a drug smuggler plane and my heart is racing uncomfortably being even near this thing.

Yeah.

He was like, I was too scared with it.

It's a, it was very sharp and like.

It was worried about that.

You were worried about falling into it is what you told me when we were snorkeling.

Well, with the current, when you get around one side of it, the current is taking you right to it.

But just being near it is like.

Eerie.

Yeah.

To the 10, to the, to the 10th, like to the max for me.

Right.

And so haunted houses, like we're not not kid, not like Halloween like real deal mysteries like that.

I, I'm in all that stuff.

And so I'm in the, I'm in the suspense.

The guy that sailed from the East coast to Hawaii and all that.

His name is Ollie.

Yeah.

That's a, that's a, that's totally different kind of thing.

But I mean, who, who, who can't get behind that?

Who can't get excited about that?

I think there's been a couple of people that have went viral over the last like couple of years for

trying to sell from, you know, just up, up into such deciding on a whim to become a sailor by boat

and then sail to Hawaii, right?

And this start this long journey where they sell around the world.

Well, this little dude Ollie's like 18 years old or something like that young kid

and he did it and his personality is, he's funny hilarious.

He's just like, whatever, I'm just doing this.

This is what's, this is what's going on.

And he would do a video, a little short little video every day of what he's experiencing,

what's going on.

And he finally made it to Hawaii and he's going to chill there for a while till the season,

whatever that means to start sailing toward, toward his next destination.

But his goal is to go all the way around the world in that boat.

Yeah.

So, I mean, that to me, I mean, that's a whole other, another conversation.

But yeah, I've always kind of been really interested in abandoned.

Why is it, you know, what happened to it?

What was it?

What, what, what was it?

Whether it was tragedy or just bad finances or whatever.

Why, why is this resort abandoned?

Why is this, you know, a theme park no longer

working?

What happened?

What was the story there?

The eeriness is always a little attractive too.

And I think Nicole gets that from you.

We were driving around in the buggy.

This is before they got into the pool Memorial Day.

We took the girls through the trails at home.

And we want to just take them on a ride anyway, but we were going to trim some leaves too.

And we took them through the race car graveyard.

And I hadn't been there through there in a while.

There's way more cars out there than I remember.

The race car graveyard is a bit of a, a nod to the,

to the abandoned, mystery and the,

the, the tragedy of the, of the crash, right?

Or the, or the story behind the wreck.

It's fun because when you ride through a Dale, he's got, he recalls every crash.

You can tell you most of, for the most part, you can see whose car it was, but the paint scheme

and everything's still kind of intact.

But, so we're riding through slowly and Dale's telling the girls whose car this is,

whose car that is.

That's that person's daddy.

Like they know a lot of these guys as someone else's dad, right?

Oh yeah.

And so seeing it through their eyes is funny, but at one point Nicole goes,

were these like real cars?

Real people drove these because they are in totally discombobulated format versus what

they should look like.

They're like totally destroyed.

And so I thought her commentary, it always is pretty funny, but

she was fascinated that they actually were ever out on the road and not in the woods

looking like that.

Yeah.

Me and Amy were riding, we got us a four-seater side-by-side and we have a,

I've got a battery powered chainsaw.

Which everyone, I feel like needs one of those.

Oh yeah.

What a hell of a Father's Day gift that would be, by the way.

Yeah, that's awesome.

A cordless power saw.

Cordless power saw.

It's been good.

So we go and we were riding around on our trails that we haven't rode in years, if ever.

And we're, me and Amy are riding every like 10 feet and saw a lens out of the way because

it's all grown up a little bit.

It felt like when you had, when Prince Eric or Prince Philip was cutting through the

vines to get to the Princess Aurora, like he's running through, slashing things.

At one point Dale is literally running through the woods cutting the limbs down and I'm

following him in the buggy.

She cuts them down and the kids are sitting back there going, I'm ready to go.

I want to go home.

It was hot and sweaty.

We had gotten through the cars and then we were just doing, we're doing some work and

the girls were complaining.

It was fun.

I thought it was fun.

I was a little scared to use a chainsaw.

I don't think that I've ever done that before.

Yeah.

But um, this one's smaller too.

It's not quite as big.

You just don't want to touch the business end of that thing.

That's what she said.

My community gives me the confidence to ask myself,

what would you like the power to do?

So every time I'm on the pitch, I play for more than myself.

Oh, what a tackle from Naomi Germa.

Absolutely brilliant.

Bank of America champions US women's national team member Naomi Germa and everyone who dares

to ask, what would you like the power to do?

Bank of America, proud to be the official Bank of US soccer, Bank of America NA member FDSE.

This is brought to you by Colgate Total Active Prevention.

Some routines make perfect sense.

Like securing your seat belt before driving.

Just as buckling up helps prevent injury.

Using Colgate Total helps prevent oral health problems like cavities and gingivitis before

they start.

So put yourself in the driver's seat of your oral health and prevent problems before they

start with Colgate Total Active Prevention available at a retailer near you.

I've never told y'all this story.

Have you touched that?

My dad ended up getting nicked by a chainsaw.

Oh, damn.

So I wrote, I wrote a, I used to write a column for,

I used to write a column for Winston Cup scene.

And I think there's about 12 of those that exist out there in the world.

And I've got them all in my possession.

But one week I wrote a column about dad.

And I think I ended up putting it in the driver eight book.

I think it's in the driver eight book.

It's a one pager.

And we used to be framed in the house.

Really?

Yep.

It's a little one pager sort of, it's about, it's like, here's my dad.

And this is all the things that I think about him and why I love him.

Oh yeah.

Yeah.

It's a dirty my media now.

Yeah.

And so it is.

And so in there, I talk about this incident, but I was a, I hadn't lived with him long.

This is around 1983, 1984.

A friend of his needed a tree removed from his backyard and my dad volunteered to do it.

But dad drives over to this friend's house with me and we get out and he climbs a tree

and starts sawing limbs out of it.

It's a big, tall oak style tree, really big.

And he climbs up in this tree with deer, with pegs for deer stand.

So he's screwing pegs.

So he screws his pegs in, climbs up, puts the peg, gets all the way up in this tree.

With the chainsaw, like on his back?

With chainsaw, with chainsaw on a rope or something.

I don't know.

I think he did it by rope, but he gets up in there, he starts whacking these limbs out of this tree

and, and then he's eventually going to, you know, just saw the tree down.

Once he gets the limbs all out of the way and he's up there going and

for 30 minutes and I'm sitting down there at the truck just watching.

And he finally comes down and he had these light, light tan leather style gloves,

you know, farm work gloves.

He had those on and he comes walking over and the one of the gloves is ripped all the way across

the back of his hand and he's like, he's like, I got my hand and I was like, you did?

And he goes, yep.

And he pulls the glove off and the skin is shredded.

Gross from side one side all the way across to the thumb.

And I go, when did that happen?

He goes, as soon as I got up there, so he gets up there, knocks them,

his chainsaw barely pops his hand, but it just ripped his skin all the hell.

And he just kept on digging because he's already up there.

That aligns.

And I thought, and I'm sitting there thinking, I will never, I will never be as tough as this

son of a gun is.

I mean, most people probably wouldn't.

I mean, there was one of those moments with him, like once a year or so where you're just like,

you're superhuman.

Nobody like that, you know.

But that's a new kind of grit, it's a special kind of grit for sure.

Yeah, he, he, that was, he wasn't scared of anything.

That's the thing.

No, he flipped over a bulldozer.

This was a big giant, like I think it's called a DC nine or something huge bulldozer.

He's out there pushing these trees over because he's building,

he's building a log house and he's fixing the yard.

So he's knocking some trees down to do some grass and stuff.

He's got his mind around what he's going to shape, how he's going to do this.

So he's pushes a tree over and the, the, the, the roots of that tree, this is a big old tree,

the roots of that tree come out of the ground underneath the bulldozer and laid the bulldozer

over on its side.

And he jumps out and comes running over to trucking.

He's like, come on, let's go.

We got to go get the track, other bulldozer so we can come over here and flip

this thing up.

Gas is running out of it.

I want, I don't want it to, I want, he wants to not explode.

He wants to get it flipped back over and crank it up and run it and get going again.

Get back to work.

He wasn't worried about the time.

And if he, if it, you know, with it turned upside down, it's going to ruin the engine

or something and it won't be able to run.

He'll have to get a technician come out there and fix it.

And then he's going to have to tell somebody about his,

and the last time he had a guy come out there to work on his bulldozer, the guy ended up

seeing some deer and came back later that night to try to shoot one.

And then he broke it.

Then he broke his hand on his face.

What?

Yes.

You don't remember that story?

That's the, that's the turn of events that he was probably thinking through.

I don't know about that, but I'm just saying.

This man's life was bonkers.

Well, I mean, yeah.

He, everybody knows that story, but I'll tell it for you.

And you probably have heard it.

I feel like I've heard it.

Yeah.

I feel like I've heard it.

It's just always surprising to me the things that he did.

Well, we, he flips the damn thing over and he's like, run me to the barn as fast as you can.

I got to get the other tractor back here, flip it back over quick.

So I can keep going.

And that's what we did.

And he flips it back over and back on it, cranked it up back to running.

But long time before that,

some guy had come over to work on something, uh, technician or something.

And they, this man saw some of daddy's deer.

We had a lot of deer on the property.

It's 300 acres.

And it high fenced all of it.

And that guy and his buddy went and drank some beer at a bar and got talking

and thought it'd be a good idea to go back out there to try to shoot one.

What dummies.

So I don't know if it's probably not the same day, but it's later, you know,

in the evening hours, this guy and his buddy jumped the fence.

They shoot, they shoot a deer.

Well, it just so happens that dad and his, his property foreman, he had a guy that was kind

of would do everything that he told him to do for the property.

They're out there on the property and daddy, here's a shotgun.

And there's, there's dad standing.

I mean, it's just pure coincidence.

He's standing in this power line.

So it's a cleared power line.

Deer comes running bomb and falls over.

So daddy and this guy, they get over there by where the deer is and wait.

They get down and wait.

And here come them dudes to try to get that, to get to that deer.

And as soon as they get to it, daddy takes off running and tackled the one with the gun

and started punching him in the face and broke his hand.

That's like some actual cowboy.

So you can imagine how terrified those dudes were when he came out of the grass.

Full speed.

I mean, really.

And then he held him.

He held him there and called the police and had the police come out there and get

him for trespassing.

He broke his hand on his face.

He went to the, he went to the banquet weeks later with a cast, a black cast.

Did he tell everybody what he did or did he make up a story?

He didn't tell many people what he did.

Broke this bone, the bone, the long bone in his, in his pinky knuckle to his wrist.

Broke that bone.

Punching that dude.

Probably the last person that trespassed.

So I know we've talked about this a little bit.

Let's get back to the summer house because they just had a reunion.

Transition to summer house.

Super hard transition to the summer house.

I'm assuming they'll senior would have watched summer house.

Zale might have watched it for the attractive people.

He would have got tired of it real quick.

Especially the shenanigans.

I can't believe that those two fools just sat on the couch, Amanda and West,

just like staring at the ground.

They, they, she truly doesn't feel like she's done anything wrong.

Well, they're still lying.

I think because she said they didn't hook up until after the statement was put out.

Yeah.

But originally they said they put out the statement in rush because

there was photos that were going to get leaked.

Yes. Of them together.

And then also we find out during the reunion prep that he has

depics that he sent to other people.

Oh yeah.

Apparently they're not good.

And they're sitting on the couch next to each other and they're looking,

he's looking at it with three other guys and she's like, what's,

I've never gotten one of those.

It's like, she's finding out that he's a POS currently as they're together.

She's only going to stay with them long enough because out of like

determination to show that she didn't do anything wrong, but at some point it's not

going to last.

No, I can't believe it's lasted this long.

I mean, if I were her, I would have been like in that moment, I would have been like, you know,

maybe we should stop right here.

That's just crazy.

She doesn't think she did anything wrong.

No.

It's wild.

Dale, what'd you think?

Hey, I'm, I'm not, I'm wondering it's all, it's pretty crazy.

It's hard to believe that it's real, a real story.

I think part of me believes that it's all made up.

Well, that's what my take was before.

But then there's part there, but then there's other things that somebody,

the other people will say and you're like, well, they're,

they are just that dumb.

They're doing, they're, they're really doing this.

I'm wondering whether they do, I'm wondering whether this is the end of summer house

and it's going, so they may, they've got this show now where they're all in the city.

Yeah.

And I'm wondering if due to the divorce and all the sh** that's going on,

how could they all go back to the summer house and hang out?

Because that would just be, I agree.

Apparently they're, they've signed, Sierra's going back to summer house,

they're doing it again.

And I think Kyle's a producer of that show.

Yeah.

I mean, if Kyle's not there, it's not summer house in my opinion.

But Amanda and Kyle are both on In the City.

They are.

They are shot before.

Yeah, but they can do that because the city's so dense and they can,

they can do the show in the city and, and you know,

they're not hanging out, they're not living in the house.

I think this in the city is the, I'm wondering if summer house can't exist.

I wonder about you.

And so now in the city's sort of the,

spent off.

The pat, the other spent off to, to see if they, you know,

see if Bravo can still make, you know, still continue this

with these characters.

Plus they're getting to a point in life where like summer house isn't,

you have to kind of grow up.

They're not nobody, they're not like just bringing home random people and

hooking up and getting in fights.

Yeah.

That is the part about watching these reality shows is just like it happened.

You feel like you graduate out of it.

Same thing.

It happened with all the, even before that with all the MTV, Jersey,

all those, everybody grows up.

Everybody gets, you know, they get married, they have family.

They do, they do, they, they're, everybody's life changed.

Everybody goes in like 678 10 different directions.

And for, for better or worse, right.

And, and you're sitting there as a viewer going, damn,

I just watched all that sh** for nothing.

Not, I feel like it isn't for nothing.

It was entertaining, but also it becomes this, you get really a real

understanding of how much time you've spent watching it.

I know.

I don't want to see them just go out and have dinner and come home and like go to bed.

I want to see them like.

Rip and tear and fight.

Yeah.

I want, they're going to probably keep doing that.

But I want to see them like out in the club till three random girls leaving the next morning.

Like new cast members, you know, there's possibility that, I mean,

there's people that are 40 in their 40s and then their 50s that still do that.

And that could be some, I mean, you might still get that with this show.

I'm just saying like, I don't know.

I think back to like Jersey Shore, for example, I remember watching that when it first started.

Fantastic.

Like could not turn away.

And they were such characters.

It would just go on and on and on.

And then eventually they kind of just, it just kind of can't keep going on and on.

And you're like, dang, you want everybody to stay the same age and the thing to just last

till you're done with it, right?

Till you're tired of watching it.

But it usually runs its course.

And I feel like I wonder if this one's ran its course.

I wouldn't be shocked if it.

This is it.

Vanderpump ran its course.

They, you know, they tried to do new characters.

Everybody grew up and got old and then they tried to do new characters.

And maybe that's for, maybe that's for a generation below me, but it ain't for me.

I know.

So we decided when they had the new cast, we were like,

okay, we're not going to get into this because we, yeah, we felt like we were too old to be

sitting on the couch watching that.

Like the original cast, like too old now to be watching this.

I'm not.

No, but the original cast happened organically and it feels like whenever there's like

the new Vanderpump, it feels like it was forced.

Same thing with like Southern Charm is good, but like Southern hospitality doesn't,

it seems not the same.

It's not.

Yeah.

So like the new people that come in, they know what they're getting themselves into

versus and they're seeking it versus the original cast.

It's kind of like this organic Southern Charm fan.

Yeah.

Still hoping that it's kind of keep cruising along.

Agree.

Well, some of the original castmates too are still on the show.

Yeah.

And Shep is still.

Shep is still.

Shep is still shappin'.

Yeah.

Well, we'll see.

I guess that's all I wonder is, all right, man, did we just see the end of the end

for the summer house show?

Cause I don't know how they all get back in the house and just carry on after everything

that's happened.

But I feel like Sierra would want to physically

duke it out.

Like maybe that maybe she's then maybe Sierra's in the next season and the other girl's not.

Yeah.

I don't see how she would want to like.

Right.

Maybe she just just coexist with her.

Paige could come back.

I know I think Sierra has committed to coming back, but I don't think Amanda has.

So maybe you're right.

Maybe she's doing the inner city thing.

Maybe Amanda goes on and.

Yeah.

I'm good without Amanda and Wes.

I am too.

I feel like, I feel like Wes is just a big old pack of lies altogether.

He's had girlfriend.

He's got how many girlfriends does this man have?

Multiple.

So many.

Sounds like.

We always finding out new chicks all the time.

All right.

We've, we've been on this topic enough.

Should we go to Ask Amy?

You want to go to Ask Amy?

Or do you want to go to Topics?

There is one more tiny little story.

Keep it been teddy.

So every single time I go home, my dad or my mom, somebody's grandmother, they're like,

hey, I found this.

It's yours.

Take it home.

Like there, like how many more corners of a closet are there that you're still finding my stuff?

Dad sent me a picture of a teddy bear the other day and I'm like, oh yeah, that,

I'm pretty sure that's mine.

He's like, yes, that's yours.

Will you take it home when you come back, come back next trip?

I was like, of course.

And the only reason I really recall a teddy bear is this teddy bear because it was because he had it.

He had a traumatizing moment with me coming home one night.

We had a ranch doll house.

My room had a forward-facing window and it had blinds and my mom let me decorate my room

red, white, and black, like the high school.

It was dynamic.

So my blinds were red and it would get kind of dark in there.

So I just twisted them open.

Well, it's like dusk and I'm not thinking twice about it.

I go into my room.

I'm changing out of my dance clothes or something and putting my PJs on and he works shift work.

So he just about that time was pulling up in his truck and he always parked right there on the street

in front of my window.

And he comes in red hot, mad because you can see through my window and the lights are on inside

and it's getting dark outside and my dumb ass didn't understand that that basically put a spotlight

on me getting naked in my room.

And so he comes in and he's like, girl, he was like, give me that bear.

And he slams his bear on the bed right there facing the window and he goes, put your clothes on,

come outside.

And so I'm like, holy smokes.

Like what's the deal with the bear?

I'm still clueless.

So I go outside and he's like, see that teddy bear?

I was like, yeah, I can see it pretty well.

He's like, yeah, everybody can see your naked butt too.

Close the blinds.

And he got you this whole science lesson on like lighting inside versus it being dark outside.

I can hear him saying that.

He was so mad.

He was like, Amy, it wasn't the first time.

I had to tell you that more than once and I'm thinking,

oh my God, I'm Isla.

I'm like a flighty little like, just open my window and change my clothes.

Not even thinking twice about who was maybe looking at me from outside because I can't see outside.

Anyway, I'm on the third floor and so sometimes the blinds open.

I don't care.

So that nobody can see up there.

So it's fine.

Well, at this point, you should just be doing it for sport.

You know what I mean?

With like only fans and all the things going on, you might as well just buy in.

I'm not doing it for sport.

But I think I was like 13 years old and he was so mad.

Yeah.

I won't ever forget that.

And that bear is the only reason I remember that bear is because of that.

And ironically, Isla has taken to it.

Really?

No, Isla has it.

No, it's Isla's bear.

Wow.

Yeah.

So I had, when I was a little boy, I had a Lamut and it was a dog stuffed animal.

And I remember having that when I moved in with Dad and Teresa in 81.

And eventually it got a hole in it and we threw it away.

But I found one on the internet brand new.

Like years ago.

It was when we were dating.

Yeah.

You would get years ago and I bought it and it's been laid up in our and it's been laid up in the

bedroom where me and Amy are in this little cubby hole.

There's a little shelf there.

It stares at me while I sleep.

He's got it in this little cubby and it's like peeking around the corner.

This little fluffy dog.

The mutt.

That was like your lovey.

That was like your.

Yeah.

That was one and only.

My one and only teddy I still have.

It's in the shop and storage.

It looks just like the snuggle bear.

Do you remember the snuggle bear?

You don't want to know what its name was?

What?

Cocky.

What?

I have no idea.

Interesting.

Yeah.

My teddy bear was named Cocky.

Yeah, I heard you.

And my doll that I got when I got my tonsils out.

She's Lisa, which is the Lisa from Weird Science.

I don't know what the hell was.

Your parents signed off on this name?

I was very little.

I have no idea.

You know, kids like say stupid things.

You just go with it.

They never changed it.

I don't think I've told you.

I didn't give him.

I mean, he was his.

It said on his tag.

La mutt.

He came with the name.

It was easy.

That was it.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, I'll show it to you one time.

It looks just like the snow bear.

It's a cute little teddy bear.

I'm good.

I'm.

It doesn't look like his name.

Well, it's in the storage.

Jesus.

Hey guys, Dale and I are in the Dirty Moe Media studio

for another round of Ask Amy.

What are your questions?

So the first question is,

do you think that adults should be allowed to order off the kids menu?

Yes.

Sure.

And I don't think they should raise the price either.

Like it's the food quantities are a little smaller,

the price is set for what it is.

Absolutely.

I mean, I go through the drive-thru and order off the kids menu all the time

with the kids.

I don't tell them that it's for me.

But when you sit in a restaurant and you order off the kids menu,

usually they want to charge you a couple extra dollars for it.

Which I don't get because it's the same food.

It's the same food.

And I'm probably going to order a margarita with it.

So I'm going to spend money anyway.

Like just give me the kids menu food.

Yeah.

I say no reason why you can't order off the kids menu.

Yeah.

If you want.

Sometimes I just want some chicken tenders.

I just want some simple chicken tenders or grilled cheese.

Yeah.

Girl, that's what I said.

I was like a grilled cheese is like just sometimes.

So good.

Yeah.

But yeah.

Next question speaking of food is if you are designing your wedding reception,

you're going to have food served at the end,

like bar food or whatever.

What's something that you would have at the end of the reception for your guest?

That's funny.

We talked about grilled cheese because we had a whole second round of food at ours

because it was New Year's Eve and everybody stayed later.

We had grilled cheese.

We had pizza.

What else do we have?

I don't remember eating any.

But it was like handheld snack foods.

And so mozzarella sticks, like anything that's just going to soak up some of the alcohol

and help everybody drive home or just be tasty.

You don't want it to just be left.

You don't want to actually eat it.

But it has to be easy.

They can dance and walk around with it.

Sliders.

Bavarian pretzel sticks.

Yes.

Pretzel sticks sounds good.

I had a friend have a food truck come by.

So cheeseburgers, milkshakes, french fries.

Yes.

So good.

Milkshakes and cheeseburgers sound amazing.

Yeah.

What would you want, Dale?

Met my reception.

Yeah.

Oh, man.

Or if you're going to a wedding and like what would you want to have as your drunk

food at the end of the night at the reception?

Oh, man.

The chicken waffle combo is always good.

Chicken and waffles.

Yeah.

I feel like we have that as an appetizer too.

Like a slider.

If you can have like a yeah, like a chicken waffle slider or something.

Like a little mini egg with a chicken nugget on it.

Honey all over it.

So good.

Yeah.

That'd be really good.

Next question is if you're competing in trivia night, what category would you be best at?

Mine would be like movies and entertainment.

Like pop culture.

Pop culture.

Dale's would probably be music.

Music, yeah.

Or racing history.

Well, of course.

Is that a thing?

Is that a thing for trivia?

I mean, you know, sports.

That would be almost, that would be almost unfair.

Yeah, it would be.

Yeah.

I give in.

I think I do pretty good in music.

Yeah, you would do well in music.

He usually does.

I can't, I like music, but I can't name all the artists, you know what I mean?

Like I know the song, but I don't know who sang it.

I know what I like, but that's it.

Yeah.

Like if you put on some rock and roll, like I don't listen to a lot of it.

I'm not like any current music, probably unless it's country, I'm not going to know.

I'll tell you one thing that I can't do.

And then the noise of shit out of me when my buddies do it is recite lines out of movies.

So I can do that.

Oh quote movies.

Yes.

I love that.

I got a friend of mine and he knows who he is.

His first name, Brandon.

Last name, Suggs.

Hang out with him and he will, he'll spend an entire day doing the hangover lines or, you know,

just he'll just pick a movie and just be doing it all day.

And, and, you know, just like, and I don't, I don't.

He interacts with you with the lines.

It's not just like he's just presiding him and waiting for your reaction.

It's like, it makes sense to say it because of the moment.

Yeah.

And I'm like, man, I don't remember that part of the movie.

So like I can't laugh with you.

And he gets actually frustrated.

Yeah.

Because you feel like you're not in on it.

I'm like, I don't, I watched it, loved it.

Great movie.

Don't remember, don't know why this all connects and used to drive, it used to drive me crazy.

Grow up Peter Pan.

Yeah.

Count Dracula.

I love that one from wedding crashers.

Yeah.

I don't know.

Yeah.

I like movie lines too.

It's not Dale's thing at all.

I don't like people that I don't like.

He gets so annoyed.

Yeah.

He gets so annoyed.

Do you guys like doing?

When's the last time we've done trivia?

No, I'm not a big fan of it.

Actually, I do like, I do like people that recite movie lines from, um, Lawson Dove.

Boo hiss.

Who's going to do that?

I hate rude behavior in a man.

I won't tolerate it.

Yep.

You said that one a few times if I know it.

I know it.

Yep.

Next question is if you could change your birth month, what month would you change it to?

What the hell?

Well, mine's in March and it was always right after spring break, my birthday.

So like it was, and it's usually like raining and not warm, not cold, not a fun time to have a birthday.

I would say maybe like July?

Oh.

Middle of the summer?

Yeah.

I've never even thought about this.

October's great.

I wouldn't want close to Christmas because that's, my sister's is right after Christmas.

She said that always stunk.

I like the color orange.

I like the month October.

I feel like those are all the, like the least popular or least like,

like if you go to the, you know, everybody goes into the little ship and gets the red car.

No, they don't.

Well, red's very popular.

Yeah.

Red's very popular.

And so like it's, you know, red, you know, all the basic colors.

I like the non-traditional and I feel like October fits into that.

October is kind of like a,

It's an afterthought.

Yeah.

It's a forgotten month.

Definitely like committed to it today.

Yeah.

Have you always been an orange fan or when did like your love for orange start?

Way back.

Let me try.

Probably with 76 Unicale, the Unicale's NASCAR.

Yeah.

That's been around, so I guess in the 80s, early 80s.

I like those two colors, orange and blue together.

So.

He's got a love affair with orange.

It's not just all I get.

It's like we're connected.

Have you guys done your color thing yet?

No, we haven't.

I was thinking about that this morning.

I have not made the time to do it.

What color thing?

The color swatches to find out what our colors are.

For what?

He doesn't even remember.

It's what you gave me for my birthday.

Oh, for, oh, for clothes.

Oh, ours.

Yeah.

Our colors.

Yeah.

When are we going to do that?

I don't know.

I did reach out to the lady and she gave me some feedback and then I just like let it ride because

we got busy, but I need to do that soon.

Now Dale's going to get all busy.

I am all busy.

It has begun.

Gone till November.

The next nine weeks.

Yes.

Honestly, it feels like it picks up and then it really doesn't slow down again until season's over.

You know, that's on gone till November.

Who sings that?

Soon as I get done broadcasting, I do a little bit of racing.

So.

Does that make you need to readjust in your seat?

Yeah.

Is that exciting?

Yeah.

I'm ready to race.

This next question, forget her name.

She wants to know when you guys go on trips just for you two, do you guys have like a certain

gift that you bring back a souvenir for the girls or like just depend on trip to trip?

We always try to get an ornament when we travel and then.

Well, that's not for the girls.

No, it's not for the girls.

I mean, it feels like it's kind of for the girls because they decided to look at it

and they helped me decorate the tree.

Mr. Anti Christmas over here is.

I'm not anti Christmas.

You're anti Christmas decorations.

Well, you can't just throw that out there like that.

Yeah, you can't just say that.

He's anti Christmas decorations.

That is a fact.

I am true.

I'm I like the basic tree.

Go big as you want on the trail.

No, I like a basic tree and a wreath at the door and yeah, but all the things sitting around on

every flat surface.

I'm not down with that, but I don't do that.

I don't do that.

I know.

We get an ornament and then we're depending on where we are, we get just something that

we think they might like we tried to like not bring back stuffies just because they are just

everywhere and they don't feel special, but I don't know.

Seashells or like a necklace or I think it's a obligation that you have to bring something back.

Yeah, let them know that you were thinking about it.

Our parents always did that when they traveled.

Dale got some fun gifts when his Japan or whatever.

When my dad went on his honeymoon with Trisa to St. Thomas, they brought me back a pen

and it had a ship in it.

You could make the ship go back and forth.

Oh, I know you're talking about.

Oh, yeah.

The ink moved.

Yeah, it had a little water cruise ship in it.

And then they brought chopsticks back from Japan, stuff like that.

Yeah, Kelly said she got like the full gear to dress up from Japan.

She still has it or still looks.

My dad would always buy shot glasses for himself.

So like every place he's been to, he's got a shot glass for a lot of people do coffee mugs.

Those kind of big shot glasses are smart.

Yeah, they're not so big.

Next question is if somebody says meet you for happy hour, what time is that?

3.34.

Happy hour is at five to six.

I thought it was from four to six.

I thought happy hour was when you get out of work.

Five to six.

What's everybody saying?

Isn't there like a designated time?

I thought it was from four to six, like before like traditional dinner started.

Maybe it's changed.

I think it should be before.

I thought happy hour was all right.

You know, the traditional work day

years ago, I don't know what it is today, but eight to five.

Nine to five.

Sorry.

Nine to five.

So working nine to five like Dolly Parton says.

Happy hour was when everyone is getting out of work and they all go to the, you know,

the cheers.

They go to the local bar and have a drink and you meet your friends after work.

Happy hour is after work.

Yeah, that all makes sense.

Five to six.

One guy saying two to five.

That's two to five.

I don't know.

Another person said four to 54 to six.

Four to six sounds like that might be the new happy hour.

Yeah, I feel like people have adjusted it because they work a little early.

Well, there is the getting out of getting out at four PM has come become more common.

People were, you know, there's a lot of places that are, you know, your

nine to five isn't, isn't the only traditional work day anymore.

No.

Whereas that was, you know, unless you were working second or third shift,

nine to five was kind of like the work day throughout history.

Blake is saying happy hours whenever you want it.

Yeah, that's right.

Happy hours when you're at the bar.

All right.

Yeah, some said three 30 because they're a teacher.

So on the day and the school ends, I guess it's when your job is whenever your job ends.

I don't know.

There's something about it though.

When someone says happy hour, just like makes you excited.

It's like the word happy is in there.

It's like when you say the word walk to a dog.

Yes.

And just like perks you up.

All right.

Well, that's it for today.
